Chaos without 'elites' a big lie, says top academic
Malaysian Insider
Khoo Boo Teik, who has also collaborated with the United Nations Research Institute for Social Development (UNRISD), told The Malaysian Insider "the ruling elite who are supposed to solve the problems, in fact, are the source of a lot of problems."
"Tunku Abdul Rahman thought politics was about chummy compromise. People get together, we know each other and what we say among elites will then be followed by the masses. But it was a big lie," he said, referring to Malaysia's founding father.
Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj Sultan Abdul Hamid Halim Shah cobbled together the Alliance Party, a coalition between Umno, MCA and MIC that took power when the British gave Malaya its independence in 1957.
The three race-based parties continue to form the mainstay of the ruling Barisan Nasional (BN) that now boasts 13 parties and governs Malaysia according to a consociational power-sharing model among each ethnic group.
The real dangers came in the very severe moments of political and economic crisis.
Khoo is most famous for his popular books on long-serving former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, authoring 2003's "Beyond Mahathir: Malaysian Politics and its Discontents" and "Paradoxes of Mahathirism: An Intellectual Biography of Mahathir Mohamad in 1995".
The former Universiti Sains Malaysia professor said in a recent interview that "for a very long time" the idea that "the problem of politics in Malaysia is how to manage these cleavages" due to ethnic prejudices and suspicions that were sources of instability and conflict.
This was to be solved by elites in different parties making compromises, "but if you look at the way the people who are ruling over us are supposed to have solved the problems, compared to how they've actually created a lot of the problems, there is a very big gap," he said.
"Instances where ordinary people went after ordinary people because of ethnic reasons are very rare. The real dangers came in the very severe moments of political and economic crisis.
"Practically every decade, since independence, an economic crisis has gone together with a political crisis. It has got nothing to do with ordinary guys trying to go after the other ordinary guy who happens to have a different ethnic background," he pointed out.Dr Mahathir's grip on power, which eventually lasted 22 years, was twice challenged from within Umno in 1987 and 1998, when tussles with Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah and Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, respectively, had followed economic downturns.
The heightened race and religious tension of late has also come as Malaysia struggles to make a full recovery from the ongoing global financial meltdown that began in 2008.
Malaysia's worst ethnic riots happened on May 13, 1969, which some reports say killed over 2,000.
They were sparked off after opposition parties had denied the Umno-led Alliance its customary two-thirds majority in Parliament on the back of unhappiness by Chinese over perceived favouritism showed to Malays.
A victory parade by the opposition in Kuala Lumpur led to a reaction by Malays and a state of emergency being declared.
But some researchers have blamed the Umno-led counter-procession that began at the residence of then Selangor mentri besar Datuk Harun Idris for the violence.
Tunku Abdul Rahman later called the retaliatory parade "inevitable, as otherwise the party members would be demoralised after the show of strength by the opposition and the insults that had been thrown at them."
But Khoo said the majority of ordinary Malaysians "know better and can distinguish what are falsehoods, incitement and propaganda" and "dissent has always been there."
He cited the Himpunan Sejuta Umat (Gathering of a Million Faithful) by Muslim NGOs against "the challenge of Christianisation" as an example as "only 5,000 people showed up."
"In daily life, they have better things to do than [wanting] to go and hack at people."

Two thousand and sixteen was a big year for genetics, and there was no bigger story than everyone's favorite gene-editing tool, CRISPR-Cas9. But that wasn't the only story: A "three-parent baby" was born in Mexico, the minimum number of genes needed for bacterial life was determined, gene drives were tentatively approved for dealing with the Zika virus, and four species of giraffes were identified based on DNA alone. And there were many more.
Here's the rundown of our top stories.
The Many Tales of CRISPR-Cas9
For the last couple of years, there's been a lot of news about tweaking genes using the CRISPR-Cas9 system. In 2016, scientists began to use this cutting-edge gene-editing tool in earnest.
Last year was the first time that CRISPR-Cas9 was directly used to treat a disease in a patient. In late October, Dr. Lu You of Sichuan University in Chengdu, China used CRISPR-Cas9 to change the DNA in a patient's immune cells so that these cells would attack the patient's cancer. This approach is called immunotherapy–a big story all on its own.
What these researchers did was to remove immune cells from the patient and knock out their PD-1 gene, which can incorrectly determine that cancer cells are not a threat. Removing the gene should theoretically help the immune cells recognize and destroy cancer cells. The researchers grew the modified cells in the lab and then injected them back into the patient. While it is too soon to know if the treatment is effective, we do know that — so far at least– the patient hasn't experienced any negative effects.
Last year, for only the second time, researchers "successfully" changed DNA in human embryos using CRISPR-Cas9. (The first time was way back in 2015.) The researchers purposely used nonviable embryos, which were not transferred into a womb.
The reason I included the quotation marks is that gene editing human embryos is still very much a work in progress. Only four of the 26 embryos were successfully edited. And the results were not identical even in these four; some had additional mutations in the targeted gene. These mixed results emphasize how much more work needs to be done before editing human embryos can become routine.
And of course, the CRISPR-Cas9 patent war between UC Berkeley and the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT continued to rage on. Whoever wins stands to make a whole lot of money, which makes this a very nasty, ongoing battle unlikely to end soon.
CRISPR-Cas9 even became a player in the GMO field. The FDA ruled that a mushroom with a gene that had been modified with CRISPR-Cas9 didn't need to jump through the usual regulatory hoops that a genetically modified organism has to.
Another big story last year, gene drives, owes its existence to CRISPR-Cas9:
Gene Drives, Mosquitoes and Zika
Last year, the Zika virus spread like wildfire across South and Central America, leaving over 1,000 babies with the birth defect microcephaly.
Scientists are working on a number of ways to prevent Zika infections. The most controversial is to wipe out the mosquito that carries the virus using gene drives.
Gene drives use CRISPR-Cas9 to quickly and easily spread a harmful gene through a population. In this case the idea would be to destroy the population of mosquitoes that carry the Zika virus.
This method was given tentative approval by the FDA back in March 2016, but it has not yet been used, as many Florida residents strongly oppose it.
Gene drives were mostly theoretical until CRISPR-Cas9 came along to make them a relatively simple thing to make. In fact, so simple that a group of undergraduate students nearly pulled it off at the end of 2016.
Child With Three Parents
In 2015, a big controversy swirled around whether to restart a genetic technique that allows some women who carry mitochondrial diseases to have children without passing them on to their kids. In 2016 a healthy baby boy was born in Mexico using this technique.
The technique is controversial for a couple of reasons. First, any girls born will pass their genetically engineered DNA down to their children. This has always been an ethics no-fly zone, as the feeling is that whatever genetic modification we make in a person should stay in that person. Because the woman in Mexico had a son, the issue was sidestepped.
The other controversy is that this boy has DNA from three people instead of the usual two.
The child has mitochondria, and thus mitochondrial DNA, from the donor, along with DNA from his mom and dad. (Mitochondria are the organelles that supply our cells with energy; they have a bit of DNA all their own.) Although this is referred to as having three parents, that might be a bit of an overstatement. After all, something like 1/300,000th of the child's DNA comes from the donor, with the rest coming from the mother and father. If the donor is a parent, she is a very minor one indeed.
The Edge of Life
With the exception of viruses, most life has evolved with a thousand or more genes.Humans have somewhere around 22,000 genes; the humble yeast that gives beer and wine its alcohol has around 6,000; and the bacterium with the fewest known number of genes has 901.
In 2016 a group of researchers was able to show that this last bacterium could get by with only 473 genes. This is the bare bones machinery needed to keep a bacterium going.
What is cool is that we would not have been able to predict that these were the 473 a bacterium would need. We don't even know what 143 of them do… .
Genetics is bound to be a hot topic in 2017 as well. Stay tuned.

Tales of Silversleeve is the second album released by Irish-born singer Cathy Davey. It was released on 12 October 2007 as the follow-up release to Davey's 2004 debut Something Ilk. The album contains eleven tracks, including the singles "Reuben", "Sing for Your Supper" and "Moving".
Tales of Silversleeve led to several award wins and nominations for Davey and her album, including a win in the Best Irish Female category at the Meteor Music Awards. There was also a Choice Music Prize nomination for Irish Album of the Year 2007.[5] Although the album failed to chart, Davey received positive remarks from newspapers, radio stations and members of the general public alike, being described as "a bright, bold and breezy rush of imagination, creativity and sheer glorious sounds" by journalist and blogger Jim Carroll.[6]
Background and recording[edit]
Davey performed a nationwide tour in late May 2007, debuting songs from the album which at this stage was referred to as Silversleeve.[7] All but two of the songs were recorded in her home.[8] The album, released under the title Tales of Silversleeve, was preceded by "Reuben", its first single, on 21 September 2007.[9] Davey explained the title choice, "I had a runny nose when I was a child and let's just say I didn't wipe it with a tissue".[10] The album was produced by Liam Howe of Sneaker Pimps.[11]
Tales of Silversleeve received a largely positive reaction from critics and reviewers in the Irish media.
entertainment.ie reviewer Lauren Murphy described Tales of Silversleeve as "Without doubt, one of the best albums of the year", noting "there's a magic about Tales of Silversleeve that makes it an album you're almost afraid to listen to twice, in case it's not as good as you remember the first time".[12]
Jim Carroll, rock critic with The Irish Times, called the record "The most charming pop album you'll hear in Zero Seven".[13]
Public service broadcaster RTÉ reviewer Harry Guerin said the album was "even more imaginative" than her debut and gave it four out of five stars.[14]
The Irish Independent''s reviewer gave the album five stars, describing it as "a record that she can be proud of".[15]
The Irish Times placed Davey third in a list of "The 50 Best Irish Acts Right Now" published in April 2009,[16] saying "There's no better female songwriter in Irish music right now".[17] Her closest female rivals on the list were Lisa Hannigan and Róisín Murphy at numbers five and seven respectively. Tales of Silversleeve was named sixth best Irish album of 2007 by John Meagher of the Irish Independent and ninth best album of the decade by Jim Carroll, Tony Clayton-Lea and Lauren Murphy of The Irish Times.[18][19]
The album was certified double-platinum in Ireland.[20]

Tales of Silversleeve includes eleven tracks, including three singles. Ed Power of the Irish Independent described Davey's song "Reuben", a number one single,[21] as "a skewed romantic tirade glazed in sugar-candy vocals".[22] "Sing for Your Supper" was described by the same reviewer as Davey's "biggest smash to date".[22] "Moving" was used in as part of advertising campaign by mobile network operator Vodafone in Ireland.[22]
Tales of Silversleeve led to several award wins and nominations for Davey and her album.
Choice Music Prize[edit]
Davey's second album Tales of Silversleeve was nominated for the Choice Music Prize in January 2008.[23][24] Surprise was expressed within the Irish media when she was beaten by Super Extra Bonus Party.[25][26]
Year | Nominee/work | Award | Result |
2008 | Tales of Silversleeve | Irish Album of the Year 2007 | Nominated |
Meteor Music Awards[edit]
Davey won Best Irish Female at the 2008 Meteor Awards.[27][28][29] Tales of Silversleeve was also nominated for Best Irish Album at the same event but lost to Paddy Casey. Casey later admitted he would have preferred if Davey had won the award.[30] Upon being embraced by and photographed alongside Sinéad O'Connor at the launch, Davey remarked on how odd it was "to put your arms around someone you don't know".[31]

Too bad there were less than 20,000 fans left on a cold, rainy day to give the Trojans a proper sendoff to the regular season. But it perfectly illustrated USC's season, as even the loyal fan base remained skeptical despite the Trojans being close to a top-10 ranking.
The season ended with an average home attendance of 68,459 per game, the lowest since 2002. If USC's own fans are not too excited, why should anyone else be?
Not that it deterred the Trojans from enjoying the often-wet atmosphere in the Coliseum.
"I felt like it was back in 2005," USC safety Chris Hawkins said. "We were dancing in the student section."
With Jackson putting on a one-man show like Reggie Bush, Ronald Jones running powerfully like LenDale White and Sam Darnold a more-athletic version of Matt Leinart, maybe Hawkins had a point to reference 2005.
But these Trojans (9-3, 7-2) took too long to jell together to become a serious national championship contender.
"I'm not happy with the way (the season) started," Hawkins said. "I'm happy with the way it finished."
Perhaps USC coach Clay Helton grew more than his players. Remember, he took over play calling in the second half against Alabama and inexplicably punted on fourth down trailing Stanford by 17 points in the fourth quarter.
It is difficult to imagine Helton doing either of those things today. He appears more comfortable. The question is how much that matters, compared to the fact Darnold is too special to fail.
"I wish the month of September had been different," Helton said Saturday night. "It is what it is. We're playing our best ball in November and that's how we'll be remembered."
Perhaps. Perhaps not. The asterisk of this season afflicts the entire Pacific-12 Conference. There are currently only six teams guaranteed a bowl berth, the fewest since 2010. Seven of the eight teams USC defeated to end the season had losing records.
The Trojans' best victory is over Washington, ranked No. 5 in the College Football Playoff rankings. Despite being 11-1, the Huskies have their own issues, such as few quality victories.
USC couldn't even gain national respect with its Notre Dame victory, as the Irish sank to 4-8 overall. That is not to say USC did not enjoy the victory. There was a chippy atmosphere with a lot of shoving, pushing and Irish defensive lineman Jerry Tillery stepping on USC offensive tackle Zach Banner's ankle after a play.
"I like all that," USC cornerback Jack Jones said. "That's old-school football. The refs let the players play."

ST. LOUIS – By most measures, Kenley Jansen might be having the best season of his career.
He is holding opposing batters to career-low averages (.156) and on-base percentages (.200) against him. His WHIP is the lowest of his career (0.70) and his ERA is the lowest since his 25-game rookie season in 2010 (1.48). His strikeout rate is down from his career average but still robust at 11.39 per nine innings pitched. That has allowed him to retire batters more efficiently with career-lows in pitches per plate appearance and inning.
Like blemishes on a beauty queen, though, his five blown saves stand out. That exceeds his totals in 2013 and 2015 and matches his total for all of 2014 when he set a career-high with 44 saves converted. He has blown as many saves on this current trip (two) as he did all last season.
So – is that reason enough to worry about the Dodgers closer?
"In a close game, you make one mistake and now the game's tied," Dodgers pitching coach Rick Honeycutt said after a few false starts trying to answer that question. "Obviously you'd love for him to be perfect. But they're human. He missed his spot and he paid for it."
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts indicated he has asked Honeycutt the same question about their closer and been told it is "mechanics-driven."
"They're working through some things to get him to finish that cutter a little bit more," Roberts said. "I think he's missed more arm side than he's used to. The cutter isn't doing what it's supposed to. So they're working through some mechanical things."
Honeycutt acknowledged the 6-foot-5 Jansen's size and long stride (almost 7 feet) can make it difficult for him to lock in his mechanics. And when Jansen's mechanics change, the angle on his cutter changes and so does its vital movement.
"It's a big body, long arc," Honeycutt said. "He has a unique delivery that you'd love for it to always be perfect. It's just not."
Then, there is this.
Jansen is eligible for free agency after this season. He has a standard response when asked if that weighs on his mind, saying he knows he will play for – and get paid by – someone next season so there's nothing to worry about.
"I can have the worst year of my career and I feel all 30 teams will still want me," he said early this season. "This is not my first year I've been closing. People should know what I can do."
The truth is probably not that cut and dried for Jansen, who has spent his entire professional career in the Dodgers' organization and walks out at home to the L.A.-centric lyrics of "California Luv."
"I can only speak for my own experience – and I've never been of that status," veteran reliever J.P. Howell said. "It plays a little bit (on your mind). It's only natural."
Howell absolves Jansen for his occasional failures, praising him instead for his willingness to take the ball in the eighth inning (something Jansen has done five times now).

Ezekiel Elliott is an accomplished high school and college star athlete, who now begins his professional career after being drafted fourth overall by the Dallas Cowboys in the 2016 NFL Draft. Ezekiel, or "Zeke" as he prefers, is considered to be one of the most complete running backs to enter the NFL in the past decade. Elliott was one of the most productive running backs, ranking among the top rushers in Ohio State University's storied history. Zeke comes from a family with deep athletic roots, and he was a four-sport star athlete in high school, excelling in three. The Cowboys are getting a tremendous talent and person in what looks like a sure thing for an organization that prides itself in winning. Elliot is an extremely marketable athlete, as evidenced by his endorsement offers and signed deals before playing in his first NFL game. Ezekiel Elliott has a distinct signature and his name is a popular autograph for collectors, especially on signed Dallas Cowboys helmets or mini helmets, footballs, as well as signed Ohio State mini helmets, photos, and footballs.
While running backs' stock has dropped on Draft day in the past decade, with few backs being selected in the first round, let alone the top-5 picks. Ezekiel Elliott was a can't miss player and found himself ranked towards the top of every team's Draft board. The Cowboys made a smart investment in drafting Zeke with the fourth overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft. There may have been more needs for Dallas to fill, but Elliott has all the makings of a truly elite, franchise player, and the Cowboys were more than happy to take him with their first pick. Running behind an offensive line considered to be the best in the league will benefit Zeke greatly, as he's already considered a frontrunner to run away with NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year Award. If you look at Elliott's track record, you'd understand why he is a superstar in the making.
Elliott was a four-sport athlete at John Burroughs High School in Ladue, Missouri, a school known more for its academics. Zeke was a strong student at John Burroughs, keeping up with the rigorous course load while excelling in athletics. In 2014, Elliott would eventually earn Academic All-Big Ten Conference team honors. He graduated from John Burroughs in 2013, and had scholarship offers from 24 major college football programs, including Notre Dame, Georgia, Florida State, Texas, Wisconsin, Tennessee, Penn State, Nebraska, UCLA, Iowa, Kansas State, Arizona State, Illinois, and others. It ultimately came down to a choice between his parents' alma mater, Missouri, where Zeke had some outside pressure to commit to, and Ohio State, which he would eventually choose on Signing Day in 2013. Football had always ben his top sport, but it wasn't the only sport he played, and excelled in.
Zeke was a Missouri State qualifier in sprinting and hurdles, winning four Missouri Class 3 State championships as a senior. He was recognized as the Gatorade Track Athlete of the Year in Missouri, to go along with his collection of football awards and honors. As a senior, he won the State championship in the 100- and 200-meter dash, 110 high hurdles, and 300 meter hurdles. Elliott could reach a different level on the track, as some football scouts didn't regard him for his breakaway speed, despite running a 4.47 at the NFL Combine, good for fourth among running backs. He set personal best-times in the 100- and 200-meter dash with 10.95 and 22.05 seconds, respectively. He also set personal bests with 13.77 seconds in the 110 hurdles and 37.52 seconds in the 300 hurdles. Ezekiel was an extremely versatile athlete, playing a large role on the high school basketball team as well. As a senior, he averaged 13 points per game and six rebounds as a starting forward on the Bombers basketball team, shooting an incredible over 50 percent from the floor. Zeke helped lead the team to a 23-3 record and finished as district runner-up after winning the Metro League. Elliott also played baseball at John Burroughs during the spring.
Where Ezekiel Elliott has made his name, as we all know, is on the football field. The 6-foot 225 lb. running back was considered a four-star recruit, and was ranked him as the fith best all-purpose back in the country in 2013. As a junior, Zeke rushed for 1,802 yards and caught 23 passes for 401 yard, combining for 40 touchdowns (34 rushing, six receiving). These eye-popping numbers earned him Offensive Player of the Year honors from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Just as the Bombers had finished in Ezekiel's sophomore season, the team finished as state runner-up, losing in back-to-back State Championship games. Entering his senior season, Zeke was already becoming a big name in the area and country, and he lived up to the hype. Running for 2,155 yards and 40 touchdowns on the ground, he finished his senior football season with 3,061 all-purpose yards and 50 total touchdowns, while leading John Burroughs to a 13-1 record and their third straight Missouri Class 3 State Championship game. The Bombers came up just short of a Missouri state title again, ending Elliott's incredible high school career. He was named West County and Overall Male Athlete of the Year by STLhighschoolsports.com. Zeke would finish his high school career rushing for more than 4,800 yards and 90 touchdowns.
In what was a tough decision choosing between his parents' alma mater, the University of Missouri, who others strongly urged him to sign with, but Zeke ultimately made his own decision to attend Ohio State University. The rest is history as he would become the second all-time leading rusher at OSU, leaving a year early and having just two full years as the starting running back. He won a National Championship in 2014, as the Buckeyes defeated the Oregon Ducks behind a monster game by Elliott. He rushed for 246 yards and four touchdowns, earning him Offensive MVP of the game, which followed his Offensive Player of the Game recognition for his 230-yard rushing game over No. 1 ranked Alabama. In 2015, Zeke rushed for 1,821 yards and 23 touchdowns. Elliott finishes with 3,961 rushing yards, ahead of former NFL star Eddie George and behind OSU legend Archie Griffin.
Ezekiel Elliott racked up a number of awards at Ohio State, including: 2015 Unanimous All-Big Ten, 2015 Second-team All-American, 2015 Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year, 2015 Big Ten Running Back of the Year, 2014 Archie Griffin Award, 2014 James E. Sullivan Award, 2015 Graham-George Offensive Player of the Year, 2015 Ameche-Dayne Running Dayne Running Back of the Year. An impressive college career got the attention of NFL scouts, and his signed Ohio State memorabilia, with "2014 National Champs" inscription or autograph alone continues to sell well for Buckeyes fans.
Being drafted fourth overall puts a lot of pressure on an athlete, but Zeke is taking it in stride. He has found himself ranked as a top-10 fantasy football player heading into his first NFL season. Not many players enter the NFL with as much hype as Elliott, who was drafted at age 20. He and other former Ohio State stars highlighted the 2016 NFL Draft. Third overall pick defensive end Joey Bosa was the first off the board to the San Diego Chargers, with Zeke getting selected with the following pick, leaving fans of "America's Team" rejoicing. Also drafted in the first round from the Buckeyes were cornerback Eli Apple (No. 10 New York Giants), offensive tackle Taylor Decker (No. 16 Detroit Lions), and outside linebacker Darron Lee (No. 20 New York Jets). Wide receiver Michael Thomas and safety Vonn Bell were second round selections and will remain teammates on the New Orleans Saints. Defensive tackle Adolphus Washington (Buffalo Bills), wide receiver Braxton Miller (Houston Texans), and tight end Nick Vannett (Seattle Seahawks) were third round picks. Outside linebacker Joshua Perry (San Diego Chargers) and quarterback Cardale Jones (Bills) were drafted in the fourth round. The NFL recognizes the talent that continues to come out of Ohio State, and wide receiver Jalin Marshall and safety Tyvis Powell are fighting for spots on an NFL roster. All the players mentioned have signed Ohio State memorabilia listed on sportscollectibles.com. The top items for online shoppers are signed mini helmets, autographed photos, signed footballs, and more. Urban Meyer even has a fair share of signed Ohio State collectibles for Buckeyes fans, most with the "2014 National Champs" inscription.
Ezekiel Elliott was raised in Alton, Illinois, just outside of St. Louis, Missouri, the son of two former University of Missouri athletes. His father, Stacy, was an outside linebacker for the Tigers and became Zeke's agent once he declared pro. His mother, Dawn, was a heptathlete on the track and field team at Missouri, still owning the second-longest triple jump mark. Zeke is universally well-liked, always seen smiling, which has helped make him a very marketable athlete. Zeke has two dogs, Ace and Chase; Ace, believe it or not, has his own Instagram account, worth checking out. He is a role model to plenty for kids who've watched him compete in the St. Louis-area, at Ohio State, and now to young Cowboys fans, but what Zeke probably takes more pride in is being an older brother and role model to his two younger sisters, Lailah and Aaliyah. Both of Zeke's sisters are excelling in track and field, taking after their mother and older brother. Dawn also excelled as a basketball player at Mount Ayr High School in Iowa, and was named the Des Moines Register's Female Athlete of the Year in 1990. Even though Stacy played at Missouri and encouraged Zeke to become a Tiger, he quickly transformed into one of the biggest Buckeye supporters, and eventually recruiters. While working in St. Louis with at-risk youth, Stacy would commute to Columbus and head coach Urban Meyer appointed him as a "helper," or recruiter, for families visiting the campus. Stacy would talk to potential recruit's parents and help paint a picture of the lifestyle at OSU. If you see Stacy now, you would think that he's bled scarlet his entire life. Stacy now oversees Ezekiel's business decisions and serves as a second agent to his son as he begins his NFL career. It's not hard to believe that Zeke has gotten to where he has, considering the guidance and support of his family, who instilled goal-setting and academics before he had ever been tossed a football.
Ezekiel Elliott's potential marketability is infinite, as he already has endorsements with Nike, Old Spice, and Twin Peaks, with more to come. If Zeke takes off the way he is projected to for the Cowboys, his phone will be ringing off the hook. With the Cowboys remaining one of the NFL's most popular and widely followed teams, along with a running back who is equally talented as he is charismatic. Within the first month following the NFL Draft, Ezekiel Elliott's No. 21 was the number one selling jersey, passing names like the Packers Aaron Rodgers, Patriots Rob Gronkowski, and Panthers Cam Newton before his first regular season game. His signed Ohio State jersey remains a hot selling item as well. Elliott is yet to sign any Cowboys memorabilia to this point, but we have a hunch that Cowboys mini helmets, signed footballs, and more collectibles will be coming soon.
After his final game, a Fiesta Bowl victory, Zeke teamed up with Sports Collectibles for an autograph appearance tour throughout the state of Ohio, meeting and signing for fans in several cities, accompanied by his father Stacy. Buckeyes fans got their first opportunity to get signed Ohio State mini helmets, signed footballs, photos, and other autographed memorabilia. His first signing was on January 9 in Strongsville, where OSU fans crowded the venue to get the first wave of Ezekiel Elliott signed items. Just two weeks later on January 24, Zeke was back in Columbus for the Midwest Sports Spectacular, where he set a public autograph record of 636 paid tickets to receive his signature on Ohio State collectibles. And that's not counting the autographs he signed for memorabilia dealers and fans arriving late in the backroom, easily signing his unique autograph over 1,000 times on that date, all with his trademark grin. The next time Elliott and Sports Collectibles worked together for a signing was on March 7 at The Mall at Fairfield Commons in Dayton, followed by a March 21 signing at Franklin Park Mall in Toledo. The last signing took place in Polaris in early April, before the NFL Draft. Ohio State fans filled each venue as they took full advantage of their chances to get Ezekiel Elliott signed items, along with other Buckeyes National Champions, many leaving with signed "2014 National Champions" inscription on Ohio State footballs, jerseys, signed mini helmets, and signed photos.

The Rest of the Day
After waking to a gorgeous sunrise (see shots below)...
went out to do chores.
Put the filthy blankets out on the fence to dry (they got soaked later).
By the time I finished, it was already 62 degrees.
Class at 10:30.
Donna mentioned making origami cranes for all the kids in her grandsons class and ended showing all of us how to do it. Not easy....
The pups and I went down to Apple Creek Farm to pick our last bucket for the ponies.
Picked up a book at the library and made squash soup when I got home.
Gary had a 5pm meeting and I did chores.
My head is so plugged up I feel light headed. Put some vicks under my nose and am ready to crawl in bed.
Night all.
8 comments:
Brett's had a bad cold since we were in SF for the wedding. I felt like I was getting it yesterday but am doing a bit better today - congested but not crawl under the covers miserable. That soup looks wonderful! Just the ticket for a cold. -- my mother used to put Vicks under my nose when I was a kid.

Keep up the pressure
Even with all the technology we can throw at tires today, the most basic, yet the most important, is maintaining adequate inflation. "If a fleet has nothing else but a good air-pressure maintenance program, it will reap substantial benefits over having no program at all," says Doug Jones, customer engineering support manager, Michelin Americas TruckTires.
It needn't be elaborate, but it has to be consistent, Jones says. Listed below are his top 5 steps to good tire inflation management.
1.The fleet tire-management program should be written, communicated, monitored and enforced. Appoint someone to check the tire pressures.
2. Establish target pressures and maintain them with calibrated air pressure gauges and trained employees willing to diligently check the pressures.
3. Conduct regular yard checks or tire pressure audits, document the results and take appropriate action.
4. Establish a routine for tire maintenance and inspections, including tire rotation, vehicle alignment and wheel and valve cap service.
5. Consider outsourcing tire management. If you don't have the time or resources to set up and run a maintenance program, there are many reliable outlets that can help.
How flat is flat?
We're all a little guilty of throwing the "F-word" around without a precise definition. You'll actually find several correct definitions, depending on who you ask.
The Rubber Industry Association considers a tire "run flat" if it has been run at less than 20% of the recommended inflation pressure. For a dual tire in a tandem axle group at full legal load, the recommended minimum inflation pressure would be between 75 and 80 psi. For a steer tire on a highway tractor, the minimum is about 105 psi under full legal load.
RI A's concern stems from possible damage to the sidewall caused by excessive flexing when underinflated, which can result in a nasty zipper rupture.
The enforcement community considers a tire to be flat if the pressure is less than 50% of the maximum cold pressure stamped on the sidewall (usually 120 psi).
In an effort to stem some of the confusion arising from all these standards, last fall theTechnology & Maintenance Council of the AmericanTrucking Associations adopted a reference it hopes the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance will adopt for enforcement purposes.
Briefly, by TMC's proposed definition, a tire would be considered under-inflated if its hot inflation pressure is less than 70% of the maximum inflation pressure stamped onto the sidewall of a tire. The tire would be considered flat if the pressure is less than 50% of the maximum indicated inflation pressure.
For truck operators, a flat tire is one whose inflation pressure is low enough to cause unreasonable delays and all sorts of grief and expense.

Medtronic has announced the acquisition of Diabeter, an innovative, independent Netherlands-based diabetes clinic and research center dedicated to providing comprehensive and individualized care for children and young adults with diabetes.
This acquisition combines the strengths of Medtronic and Diabeter to create a strong local and international platform for improving outcomes for people with diabetes.
Mr Hooman Hakami, executive vice-president and president of the Diabetes Group at Medtronic said, "This acquisition marks Medtronic's first entry into a diabetes integrated care model approach and signifies that Medtronic Diabetes is more than pumps and sensors - we are a holistic diabetes management company focused on making a real difference in outcomes and cost."
"Diabeter has been pioneering this type of integrated care in the Netherlands, and we believe this approach can be applied more broadly to serve more patients, in more places around the world," said Dr Henk Veeze, senior international medical director, Diabeter. He added, "We have developed a unique system with improved clinical outcomes, combining outstanding clinical care with devices and information technology."
Diabeter will operate as a part of the Diabetes Services and Solutions business unit, which focuses on offering people with diabetes access to therapy, insights and services that will contribute to better clinical and economic value.

"[A] worthwhile, well-organized book." (Library Journal)
I am a Certified Financial Planner Practitioner in the South Florida area. Most of my reading (listening) revolves around financial/business issues, by necessity. However, when I get the opportunity, I browse for good fiction and personal growth titles, usually relying on the reviews of audible listeners.
"Looks At Past In Detail, Not Much Future"
As a finacial professional, I chose this piece in an attempt to glean some financial insight into what I agree to be a financial turmoil upcoming in the near future. I agree with the authors that the current "bulbles" of Real Estate and the derivatives market will likely unwind, and therefore have a drastic effect on the equity markets and the economy in general. The title of the book might imply that it is a strategy to handle the possible pending collapse, however, it is a more aptly described as a detailed look into the past - recent and distant - with respect to the various bubbles that have occured throughout history. The authors make their points through painstaking detail of this history, noting that these bubbles have never been deflated effectively. They have little, if any, confidence that this time will be any different. I found the history lesson informative and entertaining, but felt the book fell a bit short on actual strategy looking forward. With that aside, I found this book to be worth my time, even though it is a quite lenthy unabridged narration.
The narrator was very effective in keeping the pace and tone of the book interesting, and I would listen to any other pieces he presents in the future. Those who have a professional or serious personal interest in the financial markets will most likely find this book worth their time with regards to the detailed (informative) history lesson.

South Africa has one of the most progressive Constitutions in the world as regards Homosexuals and Lesbians (see article Gay and lesbian rights – SA Constitution), yet the reality on the ground is that both are readily persecuted for their sexuality.
Chief amongst these persecutions is the custom of "Corrective Rape" of lesbians.
The project was named after a close friend of Ndumie's, Luleka Makiwane, who was raped by her cousin, and died of AIDS as a result of that rape in 2005, and Ndumie's late fiancée, Nosizwe Nomsa Bizana, who was gang-raped by five men because of her sexuality and died of complications as a direct result of that rape.
Ndumie rescues, supports, nurses, feeds and campaigns for LBT in Cape Town's black townships and rural areas.
"….the plight of young black women who are taking drugs, who have been raped and violated, who have contracted HIV and Aids, who are hungry and unemployed, who have been evicted from their homes because of their sexuality and who prostitute themselves in order to survive, are issues that Ndumie is fighting to change."

Overland Park Lawrence High senior Sean Patton is still perfect.
The LHS wrestler captured the 135-pound weight class at the Shawnee Mission South Invitational to improve his record to 18-0.
"He is doing a super job," LHS coach Jeff Tummons said.
Patton was one of six placers for the Lions. Michael Wedman (140), Aaron Madill (152) and Jeff Hauber (160) finished second in their respective classes. Kenny Poeverlein (275) placed third and Shane Bartlett (103) took fourth for the Lions.
"I was really proud at the way the team performed," Tummons said. "We have not had a competition since Dec. 16 and the guys were getting tired of beating on each other. We had some pretty intense practices over winter break.
"We lost some wrestlers this past week because of the intensity of the sport. The wrestlers still out have responded well and are feeling good about themselves and their commitment to LHS wrestling."
