Facebook has more than 83m fake profiles, including millions created for users' pets and a large number of accounts the company deems "undesirable", it has admitted.
The figure emerged in Facebook's first quarterly report to US financial regulators since the world's biggest social network made its much-criticised stock market debut in May.
The company said 8.7% of its 955m global users were not real.
There were 83.09m fake users in total, which Facebook classifies into three groups. The largest is made up of almost 46m duplicate profiles, accounting for 4.8% of all accounts. The company defined that category as "an account that a user maintains in addition to his or her principal account".
What were deemed "user-misclassified" profiles amounted to 2.4%, almost 23m, where Facebook says "users have created personal profiles for a business, organisation or non-human entity such as a pet".
Finally, "undesirable" profiles accounted for the remainder, about 14m, which are deemed to be in breach of Facebook's terms and conditions. The company said this typically means accounts that have been set up to send spam messages or content to other Facebook users.
In March, when Facebook last gave an estimate of the number of fake or duplicate accounts, it said the proportion was in the region of 5% or 6%, which at the time meant between 42m and 50m.
The admission comes at a difficult time for Facebook as it attempts to rally following a disastrous stock market flotation, and convince shareholders it will be able to translate its extraordinary growth and global user base of nearly 1bn into a profitable and sustainable business.
"We generate a substantial majority of our revenue from advertising," the company said in its filing. "The loss of advertisers, or reduction in spending by advertisers with Facebook, could seriously harm our business."
This week, an online shopping platform provider, Limited Run, formerly known as Limited Pressing, published a lengthy post on its own Facebook page alleging its analytic software found that 80% of clicks on ads on the social networking site came from "bots", or fake users.
Facebook shares launched on the stock market at $38, but the price has since slumped to just over half that at $20.
In its quarterly announcement, the business reported revenues of $1.18bn and a loss of $157m for the three months to the end of June.
The results were just ahead of Wall Street expectations, but Facebook's share price plummeted nonetheless as the company failed to convince investors it can transfer its hugely successful model to an increasingly mobile world.
This was despite the social network increasing its number of mobile users 67% year-on-year to 543 million in the three months to the end June.
Sir Martin Sorrell, chief executive of the world's largest marketing services company, WPP, said last month he remained unconvinced that the social network was a good advertising medium, providing branding opportunities but little else.

Cluster of Ciguatera Fish Poisoning --- North Carolina, 2007
Ciguatera fish poisoning (CFP) is a distinctive type of foodborne disease that results from eating predatory ocean fish contaminated with ciguatoxins. As many as 50,000 cases are reported worldwide annually, and the condition is endemic in tropical and subtropical regions of the Pacific basin, Indian Ocean, and Caribbean. In the United States, 5--70 cases per 10,000 persons are estimated to occur yearly in ciguatera-endemic states and territories (1). CFP can cause gastrointestinal symptoms (nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, or diarrhea) within a few hours of eating contaminated fish. Neurologic symptoms, with or without gastrointestinal disturbance, can include fatigue, muscle pain, itching, tingling, and (most characteristically) reversal of hot and cold sensation. This report describes a cluster of nine cases of CFP that occurred in North Carolina in June 2007. Among the nine patients, six experienced reversal of hot and cold sensations, five had neurologic symptoms only, and overall symptoms persisted for more than 6 months in three patients. Among seven patients who were sexually active, six patients also complained of painful intercourse. This report highlights the potential risks of eating contaminated ocean fish. Local and state health departments can train emergency and urgent care physicians in the recognition of CFP and make them aware that symptoms can persist for months to years.
On June 28, 2007, a woman and her husband (the index couple), both aged 31 years, were treated at a hospital emergency department for illness that developed within 24 hours after eating amberjack fish purchased from a local fish market and cooked at their home. Diagnoses of CFP were based on symptoms of mild diarrhea 4--12 hours after eating fish, followed by reversal of hot and cold sensation, abnormal skin sensations, and other neurologic symptoms within 24 hours. Both patients improved after treatment with intravenous mannitol, a long-standing treatment for CFP neurologic symptoms. Upon notification, investigators from the Food and Drug Protection Division of the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services contacted the fish market that sold the amberjack filets and discovered that seven of eight persons at a local dinner party also had become ill after eating amberjack from the same shipment. The one person who did not become ill was a young child who did not eat any fish.
For the subsequent investigation, a case was defined as illness with gastrointestinal or neurologic symptoms within 72 hours of eating amberjack purchased at the fish market in June 2007. The nine patients whose illnesses met the case definition included three males and six females, aged 31--44 years (median: 37 years). Patients became ill 4--48 hours (median: 12 hours) after eating the fish. Abnormal skin sensations, joint pains, or weakness, shakiness, or fatigue affected seven patients (Table). For three persons, symptoms reappeared or worsened after alcohol consumption. Six of seven sexually active patients (two males and four females) also reported painful intercourse as a symptom. Both males described painful ejaculation with intercourse. One male stated that ejaculation was painful during the course of 1 week; the duration of the second male's genitourinary symptoms was not reported. All four females described having a burning sensation during intercourse and 15 minutes to 3 hours after intercourse. Two females reported that burning sensations associated with intercourse continued for 1 month. Severity of illness could not be related to the amount of amberjack consumed nor to the incubation period.
Symptoms (i.e., abnormal skin sensations, itching, fatigue, or altered heat-cold sensation) lasted at least 1 month in all nine patients, but cleared within 6 months in six of the patients (Table). Abnormal skin sensations persisted for 6--12 months in one of the nine patients; 1 year after onset of their CFP illnesses, two of the nine patients were still experiencing occasional symptoms of abnormal skin sensations, and one of those two was easily fatigued.
Samples of cooked amberjack were sent to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Gulf Coast Seafood Laboratory in Dauphin Island, Alabama, for ciguatoxin analysis. Acetone extracts of fish tissue were analyzed for ciguatera-related toxins using the sodium channel-specific mouse neuroblastoma assay with Caribbean ciguatoxin-1 (C-CTX-1) as a standard (2). A level of 0.6 ng C-CTX-1 equivalents per gram (0.6 ppb) of fish flesh was found in both fish samples, and C-CTX-1 was confirmed by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry.
The first female patient had become symptomatic within 24 hours of eating the fish. She proactively collected, stored frozen, and submitted four breast milk samples for testing at the FDA laboratory because she was breastfeeding her infant and, upon researching CFP on the Internet and speaking with a Florida physician who had treated cases of CFP, had learned that breast milk might be a transmission vehicle. Against medical advice, she continued to breastfeed, but her infant, aged 8 months, exhibited no observable adverse effects. She collected one of the breast milk samples previous to eating the amberjack and the other samples at 1, 2, and 5 days after eating the fish. No activity of C-CTX-1 was reported by the FDA laboratory in any of the breast milk samples.
Traceback of the fish responsible for this cluster of CFP cases revealed that the fish was shipped to the local fish market via a seafood distributor in Atlanta, Georgia. The amberjack had been caught off the Islamorada Hump in the Florida Keys.

Editorial Note:
Ciguatoxins are lipid-soluble cyclic polyether compounds and are the most potent sodium channel toxins known (3). Carnivorous tropical and semitropical fish, such as barracuda, amberjack, red snapper, and grouper, become contaminated with ciguatoxins by feeding on plant-eating fish that have ingested Gambierdiscus toxicus or another member of the Gambierdiscus genus, a group of large dinoflagellates commonly found in coral reef waters (4). Gambiertoxins from Gambierdiscus spp. are converted into more potent lipid-soluble ciguatoxins. Spoilage of fish that have been caught is not a factor in toxin development, and cooking does not deactivate the toxin. Humans who eat contaminated predatory fish are exposed to variable concentrations of ciguatoxin, depending on the fish size, age, and part consumed (toxins concentrate more in the viscera, especially liver, spleen, gonads, and roe). The attack rate can be as high as 80% to 90% in persons who eat affected fish, depending on the amount of toxin in the fish.
This cluster of CFP cases was unusual because six of the seven sexually active patients, two males and four females, reported onset of painful intercourse beginning in the first few days after onset of illness. Sexual transmission of ciguatoxin has been documented (5), and painful intercourse has been reported (6); however, painful intercourse is not commonly described as a consequence of CFP. Because all of the patients ate fish and developed other symptoms of CFP hours and days before experiencing painful intercourse, transmission through sexual intercourse was not considered likely in this cluster.
Persistence or recurrence of neurologic symptoms are hallmarks of CFP. Three of the nine patients in this cluster had recurrences of one or more symptoms for more than 6 months after their initial illness. If these patients are again exposed to fish (either ciguatoxin-contaminated or even noncontaminated fish), their symptoms likely will be more severe than those experienced with their initial episodes of CFP (3).
Variations in the geographic distribution of the various ciguatoxins might explain regional differences in symptom patterns. CFP symptoms associated with eating fish from the Pacific Ocean are primarily neurologic, and symptoms associated with eating fish from the Caribbean Sea are more commonly gastrointestinal (4). Amberjack often is linked to CFP cases in the Caribbean. Although the amberjack fish responsible for this cluster of CFP cases tested positive for C-CTX-1, it was not tested for the presence of other ciguatoxins, which also might have been present and could have altered disease presentation (7).
CFP has been associated almost exclusively with eating fish caught in tropical or semitropical waters, but increased global marketing of these species has increased the possibility that persons in temperate zones might become ill with CFP (4). Moreover, warming seawaters might expand the ranges of ciguatoxin-contaminated fish (8). In the United States, such fish have been found as far north as the coastal waters of North Carolina. Despite underreporting, CFP now is considered one of the most common illnesses related to fish consumption in the United States (9).
Any level of Caribbean ciguatoxin >0.1 ppb of fish tissue is thought to pose a health risk (3).* As this illness becomes more common in nontropical areas of the world, clinicians need to be aware of its manifestations and how to manage it. Although opinions vary on the most effective course of treatment, intravenous mannitol has been a mainstay of management of neurologic symptoms for more than 20 years. Early mannitol treatment is considered more effective, but anecdotal evidence suggests that even delayed therapy benefits some patients. Amitriptyline also has been useful in relieving some of the neurologic symptoms of CFP (10). If evaluating a possible case, clinicians should consult their local poison control center for the latest treatment guidelines.
* FDA has proposed guidance levels of >0.1 ppb Caribbean ciguatoxin (C-CTX-1 equivalents) and >0.01 ppb Pacific ciguatoxin (P-CTX-1 equivalents) for the 4th edition of its Fish and Fishery Products Hazards and Controls Guidance.

Scorpion, Marmite, Crab-eating Raccoon
Thursday, January 1, 2009
An abandoned dugout, washed up by high water.
Upon returning from our adventure with the Victoria regia waterlilies, we made for our huts, using the headlamps that would be indispensable throughout this trip. Simple brick abodes, the huts lacked screens or door seals, and wildlife traversed them freely via the wide gaps beneath the thatched roof or under the door. Through the night, bats chittered and fluttered in the thatch, swooping in and out of the cabin, and occasionally a huge red wasp would plop down on us--the task being to brush it away before it could unleash its painful sting. I was thankful for the mosquito netting that surrounded our beds. As I was tucking it in, I heard the plop of what had to be a very large roach...or... something...falling off my bed netting and onto the concrete slab floor. You know the sound. Plop. Silence. Scuttle. I looked down, to behold a 2 1/2" long scorpion gathering its wits and then scuttling into the darkness under the bed. Oh, great. Great. Lullabye, and good night...I tried but failed to find it, so resigned myself to dreaming about it. For all I know it climbed right back up the mosquito netting and tucked itself under my thin mattress. It simply vanished.
Terry Moore takes five with a good ceegar outside his hut. He ain't afraid of no scorpions, but he does shake out his shoes before putting them on in the morning. Scorpions hate to be stepped on.
Communal meals at Karanambu are delicious and lively. The whole place has the feel of an African camp. Diane McTurk presides and serves the food, tells stories and makes conversation with her guests. She's had amazing first hand experience with rare mammals, as you'll see...
Wait. What's that in the little brown jar? Marmite? I'd heard of Marmite, and had always wanted to try it.
I took a tablespoon and daubed out a large gob, conveying it directly into my mouth, figuring it would taste like, oh, I don't know...molasses? It looked like molasses.
What followed was apparently hilarious to everyone but me. An indescribably foul, salty sludge scraped from the cracked pipes in the putrid sewers of Hell spread across my tongue. I struggled to gag it down, just to be rid of it, and not to have to spit it out in front of fifteen people. Bad choice. I should have spat it against the opposite wall. It was like digging a spoon into the drip pan of an old tractor and eating the oily sludge. # !@##@$#% that is FOUL!!
Marmite, purportedly made from used brewer's yeast, is an acquired taste. (Whatever Marmite.com says, I'm sticking to my Satan's sewerpipe theory). Apparently the English, with their world-reknowned culinary sensitivity, like to spread it on toast, but they use about one-tenth what I'd just ingested. Gaaagg. Glad I could give y'all a laugh this morning. Feh!I mentioned free-roaming wildlife at Karanambu. It was here that I met Bandit, the hand-raised crab-eating raccoon. You'll notice he's not Procyon lotor. He's P. cancrivorus.Much shorter of fur, beautifully rusty, and with the biggest feet I'd ever seen on any raccoon anywhere--look at those hind feet!!, this crab-eating raccoon was a whole different ball of wax than our North American beast. I was thrilled to make his acquaintance. Catlike, monkeylike, coonlike, coatilike, he was all of those, and like nothing else I'd seen. Big hands, I know you're the one.
He patrolled from hut to hut as if he owned the place, and I came to understand why he was allowed out only for short periods, under close supervision.
If I had to pick a favorite moment of the whole trip, I think it was when my roommate Erica and I were unpacking our suitcases, and there came a sudden fierce scrabbling as Bandit forced his tubby body through the narrow louvers of our window, an exhilarated grin on his simian face.
Finally popping through, he dove into my suitcase and began throwing clothes over his shoulder as he dug for the food he figured must be in there. He was just about to get to the beef jerky and power bars when I tapped him on the shoulder. HEY YOU! What do you think you're doing?
Biting you, that's what I'm doin'! Lemme be, woman! There's jerky in this suitcase, and I mean to find it!
Well, uh, help yourself, I guess...I'm not dumb enough to try to pick you up, you little hellcat. But that is my snack store you're getting into...Dang!
Erica and I laughed so long and hard that Pat, one of our hostesses, figured the little beast was up to his usual tricks, rushed over and unceremoniously grabbed him by the scruff of his neck and carried him out, twisting and snarling. Since he could force himself through the louvers, only a cage was going to stop him now.photo by Erica Gies
Such a bad, bad animal. I loved him, even as I realized that having a crab-eating raccoon break into one's hut and pillage one's suitcase isn't at the top of the most-delightful incident list for most tourists. Crab-eating raccoons are a little like Marmite. You love 'em, or you hate 'em.
The Swinging Orangutangs play tonight, and January 2, too, at the Marietta Brewing Company on Front St. in Marietta, Ohio. We been praktisin'. Happy New Year!

LOL We had the pleasure of experiencing Marmite in Tanzania last year. Unlike your moment, we were warned to be very judicious with the stuff. It actually wasn't too bad although I don't think I'd seek it out. Did anyone know what you were in for when you put that glop in your mouth?
I love the raccoon!
That's one adventuresome, critter-packed post...
And can someone in Marietta, Ohio, please get with the program, and video them-there Swinging Orangutangs for upload to YouTube!? ;-))
Marmite is bad enough. Bandit, although odd and entertaining, is a raccoon I could do without. Fling a power bar through the window and let him go for it. Then lock up. Call the police.
The worst nightmare - the plop and scurry under the bed. No thanks. Was there a hotel nearby with air conditioning and maid service? If so, I would have found it.
Happy Gigging!
Well, I'm not sure where you were but you certainly had an adventure and I don't envy you that mouthful of Marmite. Sounds like something a marmot pooped out! My husband did something similar when I told him I had heard on the news that cinnamon helps control blood sugar levels. He was at work when I called him and he happened to have a shaker fo cinnamon to sprinkle on his applesauce. As soon as I hung up he went over to the shaker and poured himself out a spoonful and popped it into his mouth. Before you know it he was sputtering and gagging having no idea that cinamon is drier that desert sand and not sweet on its own. I lauhged like crazy when he fianlly called me back. I think he spit it out into a nearby garbage can! I would have loved to see that since I am usually the one making a fool of myself!
Oh, Karanambu.... will you ever fail to entertain!?
Of course, the Otters usually show up as the main attraction there. But the whole dang place is crawling with critters (charming or otherwise). That's nay-cher for you.
Julie: your pix and stories are fabulous, and "big hands" is the best one-liner I've heard yet about the Guyana trip.
Erica (credited with one of the shots above) has finally posted her shots from the same trip. Mine are out there too for anyone seeking additional evidence that Guyana is nothing less than Nature-Gone-Wild. Photo-Ops, nonstop.
I had the pleasure of visiting Guyana in the spring and my company - Geographic Expeditions - is just starting to run tours there... check us out.
On the topic of Marmite- yes, that stuff is best enjoyed in extreme moderation. Me: I like it best very thinly spread on toast. My Guyana food surprise was a 'cherry tomato' that turned out to be something akin to a nuclear-powered chili pepper. Whoa-
Michael in San Francisco
Fresh is the word, Catbird! Bandit leads with his snarly little mouth. I couldn't keep my hands off him--his hair was sort of coarse and weird, as if he'd had a buzz cut, and he was power-packed, and I had been away from Chet Baker just long enough to need a real animal fix. Turned loose in a rain forest, I'd probably make a pet out of just about anything. But I would not wish a tame raccoon, crab-eating or otherwise, on anyone. Born to raise hell, they are.
Michael, so delightful to hear from you, and thanks for the links to your and Erica's photos. Guyana truly is one endless photo-op! and such fun to share. Your photos are gorgeous, as are Erica's, and everyone should go check them out.
Kathie, anybody who tries to swallow a spoonful of cinnamon gets what he deserves. Funny story!
Cyberthrush, I hear you. If we could find a place to play that had acoustics only slightly better than that of an airplane hangar, we might be able to make an acceptable video. Not there yet, but we're looking. Maybe the Whipple Tavern.
Beth, nobody knew what I was up to until I was gagging on the glop. All the advice, and the uproarious laughter, came afterward.
Mary, the air conditioning and maid service occurred as bookends at the beginning and end of our trip. Once we climbed on the bush plane or into the boat, it was hot, sweaty and full of critters. And really, really fun.
Oh that buzz cut raccoon on steroids is a hoot! A confession: I love marmite - but its only a thin schmear that you apply to said plain toast. Its sort of a flavor enhancer when not over indulging. The scorpion -- how many of those moments must go unnoticed. One night, returning from dinner I reposed for a second and fell asleep accidentally -- upon waking -- the torches had all been extinguished for the evening and I was sitting in the most absolute pitch black dark with my flashlight buried in my backpack across the room. I could not see the hand in my face. I reached out to the end table and tapped around until I found the candle. I knew the matches were perched in the holder part. I fingered the matches and as I raised them they fell to the floor. I was patting around on the floor in absolute pitch, claustrophobic inducing darkness and something wicked this way went scuttling over my hand and moving so fast that it created a breeze. It was sort of damned of I do damned if I didn't moment - I couldn't even see the net to put over my body.
Scuttling scorpions, marauding raccoons, and Marmite. Sorry, I am too much of a wimp to take a trip like this one. And, I'm not ashamed to admit it!
I will just enjoy your photos and travel tales, thanks.
One year, I will make it to Marietta for NYE and the 'Tangs.
~Kathi, wishing you and yours a Happy New Year
See, and I thought I was not a girly girl... I'd have been squealing at the thought of a scorpion under me, and even more so with a snarling raccoon in my suitcase. YIKES! Scarier than the Marmite!
Oh my God! I love that big footed scamp! What a neat critter. Do you suppose he might eat a scorpion? That would be handy. He's such a bad man with all of his bluff and bluster.
Verification word hateness. Now use that in a sentence.
Oh, I needed that dose of reality! I have been so envious of this trip that I failed to think about the living conditions. Scorpions, marmite, and 'coon, Oh My!
This is a great ending to a marvelous series of posts. And now I even feel better about not being there in person.
You do have a way with word " indescribably foul, salty sludge scraped from the cracked pipes in the putrid sewers of Hell"
Good thing my offive door was closed. I laughed so hard I couldn't breathe.
You guys have to do a Saturday gig so we can come to the party.
I agree with Patrick; Vegemite is vile.
Does Terry look vaguely like Papa Hemingway in that hammock shot??
Had you stayed in fancier digs, I'm sure they would have served the special edition Marmite made with champagne.
I kid you not.
Happy New Year.
Still he goes on...
Like a blister in the sun
Still he goes on
Big hands, I know you're the one
This is one place I would not be, seems like you tolerated it nicely, racoon are at the top of the list for most rabid, hope no one was bitten.
My South African friend LOVES Marmite. She claimed it was good; now I know that it's actually "An indescribably foul, salty sludge scraped from the cracked pipes in the putrid sewers of Hell spread across my tongue."

This is the first of several hospitality studies under the IHL Insight Market View series of research that is part of the Retail Executive Advisory Program (REAP) at IHL. This study looks at the Total Hospitality SaaS Market. Others that are available as part of the REAP program include Hospitality Software Market, Hospitality Hardware Market and then finally Total Hospitality Store Systems Market.
Readers of this research will get a forecast for Software Licenses, Software Maintenance, and Software-as-a-Service. In addition, we size the market by Line of Business Categories ranging from Business Intelligence to eCommerce to Merchandising and Supply Chain to Marketing to Store Systems; 10 LOB categories in all. Breakouts are included for Fast Food, Bar/Restaurants, and then Other Hospitality which is inclusive of Lodging, Casinos, Cruises, Theaters, Theme Parks, Museums, Stadiums and other formats.
Next we provide rankings for combined Software and SaaS, Software and Maintenance, and then just SaaS on its own. Then we discuss market trends, drivers and market barriers.
The IHL Insight Market View Map then positions vendors against each other in a 3-dimensional quadrant view. The upper right quadrant shows someone who is a leader in market strength and also in growth, innovation, and unified commerce coverage. What is unique about the IHL approach is we also add a further dimension of market share scale so you can not only see who is in what quadrant, but how strong they are as well. This is ideal as executives review their market position and consider competitors and acquisition candidates.
Finally, we provide market profiles on the top 15 software providers by revenue. Each profile includes total revenues, revenues by hardware, software, SaaS, and services, revenues by region, and revenues by Line of Business Category. In addition, the profiles include merger and acquisition information as well as key clients.
The data, forecasts, and positioning maps are provided Worldwide as well as a deep dive on North America.
What makes this research different and more rigorous is that it is based on a very sophisticated and highly objective research model. It allows vendors, retailers and analysts to see who are the real leaders in retail software, true software market rankings, who is leading in the fast growing software-as-a-service market, and which vendors are leading in sales, innovation, market reach and can implement a complete unified commerce approach to retail.

LMFAO Bring the Party Rock Early on 'Good Morning America' Summer Concert Series
Is 8:30AM too early to bring the party rock? No it ain't! That's just what party rockin' duo LMFAO did this morning (June 29) for the 'Good Morning America' Summer Concert Series.
It was a party (rock anthem) in the park on a muggy, almost dangerously humid morning, thanks to oppressive heat and an early thunderstorm, but that didn't stop the group from shuffling in their animal print pants. It's NYC, the city that never sleeps, and who better to keep the party going than LMFAO?
Pink, bedazzled bears, afros, loads of shuffling and good times marked the pair's performance, so it was just another day at the, er, office for LMAO.
We have to wonder — does RedFoo ever have a bad day? He's always in a good mood, always smiling and always entertaining. During the interview portion, the hosts asked if they are on the same onstage as they are off. "We both sleep in our clothes, since we take a nap and come on stage," Foo said. Who has time for sleep when party rocking is the priority?
The band performed 'Sorry for Party Rocking' and the shuffling zebra — easily one of the biggest stars in pop music — made his way to the stage.
LMFAO then rocked with 'Sexy and I Know It' and we all knew what was coming. Since it was so hot, RedFoo had to cool off by stripping down. The vest came off. Sky Blu de-shirted. too, as they wiggled. The perf ended with a dancer breakdancing on his head.
It was amazeballs, to borrow a phrase from Adam Lambert.
The fourth and final song was cut off as it was 9AM! Boo!

Wondering how Major League Soccer plans to cash in on whatever increased popularity emanates from America's World Cup run? Probably not, because they've been teasing you with it for a while now. What better time than just before kick-off of what may end up being the Game of the Century ... So Far to readdress it, though.
On Thursday, the New York Red Bulls are expected to announce they've signed Thierry Henry. Henry (pronounced: over-the-hill) was unquestionably a playa with Arsenal (through '07). Today, he's known more as a cheat-a (his admitted handball helped knock Ireland from World Cup qualification) and a bench-a (didn't see much pitch time in the epic French production of The Bucknering of South Africa). All told, the Henrying of the MLS will likely resemble the bump the AAA Syracuse Chiefs got when Stephen Strasberg stopped by, if only Stephen Strasberg was a 32-year-old coming off rotator-cuff surgery that resulted from taking a swing at Don Zimmer.
Yes, the Frenchman should find the Passaic River waterfront as aesthetically pleasing as that pit they call Barcelona. Expected press-conference quote: "Moi didn't want to play with Lionel Messi and David Villa anyway."

Into the Great Unknown: Heat...and All Things Beautiful
It was a day full of the best things the canyon could offer. But it was also hot. Blazing oven hot. Merciless sun beating down hot. In other words, a normal summer day in the Inner Canyon. The thing is, we had already experienced a few hot days on the trip, but not quite the kind of 115 degree days that we were warned about in the training materials. I don't actually know how hot it got, but in my memory, it was the hottest day of the trip.
They said a few things in the training videos for rafting the river. To drink before you get thirsty. To drink a gallon a day. To always wear a hat. Seek out shade when possible, and don't hike between 10 and 4. They said it takes a human body about two weeks to acclimate to extreme hot temperatures, meaning a river trip was not long enough to do so.
once produced high dams, and which had continued downstream for many tens of miles (above).
noted in an earlier post, landslides have altered the course of the river a number of times.
Tomorrow we would be back into civilization, and I would be starting the journey home...

Our last full day on the river was a hot one too. But Pumpkin Spring was completely under water. I'm as sad as you that your journey is almost over. Well, I know you're already home. But you know what I mean. Thanks for the memories, and great geology along the way.

Just wanted to say thanks for the trip down the canyon. I've been following you every morning with the coffee. As an Arizonan who has only seen her from the rim, I'm inspired to find a way down the river someday.
And thanks also for the geology lessons. Can't live here without lovin' the rocks.
Keep posting, I'll keep reading.

Thank you so much for sharing your trip. I doubt I'll ever have a similar opportunity so hearing about someone else's trip is as close as I'm likely to get.

This is a blend material between two versions of a gold type of material - one uses the environment HDRI and the other not, bumpy noise in one and blurred reflections in the other.
There is more of a gold paint feel to this material as the contrast has been kept low. Changing the blend amount can bring out different aspects of the material.

While her birthday isn't until the 19th, we had Allison's birthday party on Saturday. This year she decided on a puppy theme, which thrilled me because that's easy to work with!
Overall, the party was a huge hit with 10 year old girls :)
Oh, this such a fun idea and theme for the bday girl! My birthday is Saturday. What's your plans for me? lol Those cookies look not only cute, but delicious! Thanks for stopping by & linking up for WW fun!ReplyDelete
Dontcha just love it when they pick an easy theme like that? I love the way everything turned out, especially those dog bowls that your stenciled - they came out awesome.ReplyDelete
The real pups must have been confusedReplyDelete
How creative!! I love this idea. Happy early birthday to Allison!!ReplyDelete
aww. love those free puppies!ReplyDelete
my oooh my...what a great party you've prepared! Love every single thing you've created...ReplyDelete
lol how mean of you beating that cat. Looks like a great theme though and the cat wouldn't want to enter such a dog house anywayReplyDelete
Aww! So cute :) Where's the puppy pic?ReplyDelete
That looks like a fun party. I like the free puppies.ReplyDelete
everyone loves puppiesReplyDelete
OMGGGG what an awesome party! you really put a lot of thought and effort into it.. Happy birthday Ally!
Ai @ Sakura Haruka
I bet they loved it! You sure go all out for your kids . . . and make the rest of us look bad. ;)
So did she get a puppy???? lol What a great themed party Theresa. You went above and beyond for your daughter. I bet the kids had an amazing time!ReplyDelete
She got a stuffed puppy lol. We are done with the real ones for quite a while now :)Delete
You came up with some really cute ideas for the party. When I first read the subject line, I thought it was a party for your dogs.... then I read the post. How cute.ReplyDelete
Like those pug marks on those small bags.ReplyDelete
This is so adorable! I totally thought the same thing as Terry before I began reading your post- lol! I have a friend whose daughter is the biggest animal lover I have ever met, so I'm going to pass this on to her so maybe she can utilize some of your adorable ideas for her little girl when her next birthday rolls around.ReplyDelete
aaaaw those so cute! what a brilliant idea to have puppy theme party, and those sugar cookies! looks so cutely delicious :D Happy Birthday Allison!ReplyDelete
that is so cute! The kitty pinada takes the cake though, that made me laugh out loud for real!ReplyDelete
That is such a cute party idea! I love the sign you made too! So creative!ReplyDelete
My cat might have something to meow about that you put a kitty pinata up to get beat up--but other then that I love this idea (I love both cats, dogs and all other animals) These bone shaped snacks were ingenious!!ReplyDelete
The theme is cute and lol at the pinata!! Perfect! Happy early birthday to her!ReplyDelete

How original and totally cute! I would love to have a kitten theme. I especially love those water bottles. :)ReplyDelete
This is such a cute idea. I wish my daughter was still young, I know she would love this.ReplyDelete
You really went all out and now I see why people love those Silhouette machines. They can really make decorating easier. I'm glad all the kids had so much fun!ReplyDelete

You did a super awesome job with the party theme!ReplyDelete
OMG, this is absolutely adorable! I love how you carried the theme through to everything! Those tote bags are so cute and the dog bowls for holding the snacks is genius. Pinning this and talking one of my kids into having a puppy party so that I can use all these ideas!ReplyDelete
This is an adorable theme! That's what I'll do next birthday for my daughter!ReplyDelete
Oh what a cute theme idea for 10 y.o. Looks like everyone had a blast :)ReplyDelete
Looks like an awesome spread of treats for the doggys.ReplyDelete
This is so cute and creative. I love my dog but I don't know if I would give him a birthday party like this, he would probably tear everything up because he doesn't behave very well.ReplyDelete
Wow! This is sooo cute! I had to look up "Silhouette Cameo" though since I'm new to the craft world =) Thanks for sharing this day with us!ReplyDelete
I have a silhouette I just need to start using it! And really like the idea of this puppy party may have to consider it one of my kids this yearReplyDelete
Oh my goodness - you did all that - you are the coolest mom. I would not have a clue how to do that.ReplyDelete
What a cute doggie theme. I pinned it for inspiration.ReplyDelete
Great idea with the give away stuff animals. So cute!ReplyDelete
Please send me the link on where you got the plush puppies! Love love love this theme :)ReplyDelete
Hi! The puppies were bought at the Dollar Tree. It's been a few years so they may not have this style there anymore, but I'm sure you could find something similar there.Delete

Ernst & Young Global Ltd.
Alexander Shitov, Vice President of Control & Compliance at Polyus, Russia's largest gold producer, and EY alumnus, has worked in the area of risk and compliance for the last 16 years. He remembers when the new regulations came into place and calls this time 'the SOX age' after the Sarbanes-Oxley act passed in 2002 with the aim of improving financial disclosures and preventing fraud.
He explains, "For the last ten years, compliance was so-called rules-based compliance. So, the compliance was based on the relevant regulations in different countries to different companies." He is enthusiastic about a more recent shift in this approach: "But, I believe now and further on, compliance will move from rules-based to principles-based."
Alexander says that companies are moving beyond what is legally required of them and coming up with their own values to adhere to: "Ethics should be the key part, and will be the key part of compliance, in the near future, going over and beyond regulation to create more ethical businesses."
For Polyus, this has meant a renewed focus on internal procedures. "We've combined the organizational and operational compliance together to make the compliance more visible and to support our management in making the right decisions." He adds, "We are focused not only on the external compliance with regulations, but also on internal procedures. We want our decisions, and our transactions, to be compliant with internal regulations."
He is proud that they have four independent Directors on their board, a higher number than most Russian companies and underlines the importance of having their opinion. He also says that Polyus complied with LSE regulations in the gap between when they left in 2016 and when they rejoined a year later, as they saw how effective those regulations were in building trust and transparency.
Alexander believes "that good corporate governance helps companies do their business more ethically, transparently, and efficiently," and that when you take this approach "you just sleep better, and I think management should be focused on sleeping better."
The key to corporate compliance lies in moving from a rules-based approach to a principles-based approach. This helps to make compliance more visible and support leadership in making the right decisions.

Toy & Joy Makers Request Line is Open & Donations Now Accepted for Holiday Toys
For 99 years -- since 1914 -- Toy & Joy Makers and Portland firefighters have been providing toys for Portland children in need. It probably comes as no surprise that the need for donations -- both toys and dollars -- is urgent again this year. The phone lines just opened up for families to make toy requests and the donation line is live as well.
Through a special phone line 503-231-TOYS (8697) parents and legal guardians may request toys for children up to age 13. Requests for toys will ONLY be accepted through this number. This phone number experiences a high volume of calls during this time so callers should continue to call back often or early in the day.
Last December, toys were provided for 15,533 children and almost 3,000 families within Portland city limits. That's 61,357 toys delivered to children who otherwise might have gone without during the holiday season. Dean Johnston, President of Toy & Joy Makers and a retired Portland firefighter, expects that even more families will ask for help this year
Dependent solely on donations, Toy & Joy Makers will place collection boxes at each of the 30 Portland fire stations, community and holiday events. Station locations can be accessed at http://www.portlandonline.com/fire/stations. PF&R firefighters and community volunteers get into the spirit and support the Toy & Joy Makers' mission by dedicating time to sort donated toys into the proper age groups at the warehouse.
Community members are encouraged to bring and drop off new and unused toys and sports equipment for kids of all ages at these collection boxes. Gift cards are welcome, especially for the older children. Donations can also be made at the Toy & Joy headquarters located at 5916 NE Going Street. You can also call the office donation line at 503-823-0922.
Dollar donations are especially appreciated because Toy & Joy Makers can work directly with wholesalers to purchase toys at lower cost. Toy & Joy Makers is a charitable (501(c)(3)) organization and donations are tax deductible. Fully 98 percent of donations go directly into providing toys for children; less than two percent goes to overhead. To make donating cash even more efficient, Toy & Joy has added a PayPal link on its website for donors. Just click "donate" at http://www.toynjoymakers.org/.
For more information about the program, contact the Toy & Joy Makers by phone at 503-823-0922 or visit http://www.toynjoymakers.org/.

Best of Montana Year-Round: Landmarks
Check out the top four iconic historic sites to see in Big Sky Country.
Big Hole National Battlefield, Wisdom
Southwestern Montana's Big Hole National Battlefield is part of the Nez Perce National Historical Park, a collection of 38 sites spread across Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington. This site honors both the Nez Perce tribe of Native Americans and the United States soldiers slain in the 1877 battle that took place here. There are walking trails and artifacts to view, but don't venture outside the visitor center before stopping to watch the 26-minute introductory film, Weet'uciklitukt: There's No Turning Back, Battle at Big Hole.
First Peoples Buffalo Jump State Park, Ulm
Thirteen different Stone Age tribes hunted together in peace at this horseshoe-shaped buffalo jump, possibly North America's largest. With only primitive spears and bows as weapons, the hunters devised a sophisticated method to fell the bison: herding the animals off a mile-long sandstone cliff. Drivelines still are visible at the top of the jump, and up to 18 feet of compacted buffalo remains are below. From the visitor center, it's a 1.5-mile hike to the top of the jump and spectacular views of the Rocky Mountain Front, the Little Belt and Big Belt Mountains, the Highwoods, and the Adel Mountain Volcanics.
"This is an important sacred site to the tribes of the area, which the petroglyphs and pictographs on the cliff walls confirm," says First Peoples Buffalo Jump State Park manager Richard Hopkins. "Go to the edge of the jump. Stand and listen to the sounds of the wind or silence. Either way, the soul is invigorated by the energy here."
Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument, Crow Agency
"This is the iconic Indian Wars battle site," says Gerald Jasmer, Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument park ranger and historian. The June 25 and 26, 1876, Battle of Little Big Horn, also called Custer's Last Stand, has been widely documented in literature, art, and film. It was on this site that Chiefs Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull orchestrated the Plains Indian War's most decisive Native American victory and most crushing U.S. Army defeat (Lt. Col. George A. Custer and all 262 soldiers, scouts, and civilians accompanying him perished).
The site is little changed from its 19th-century appearance, making it easier to envision how and where the battle unfolded. An 1881 obelisk memorializes the U.S. Army dead. In 2003, the "Peace Through Unity" Indian Memorial was added to honor the Native Americans (at least a hundred men, women, and children) who died here. Standing inside this circular earthwork memorial you can look through a "spirit gate" (an opening in the rock wall) and see the U.S. Army memorial 75 yards away. The site also includes Custer National Cemetery, Custer Battlefield, and Reno-Benteen Battlefield.
The Ellen Theatre, Bozeman
It's appropriate that the first movie shown at the Ellen Theatre way back on December 1, 1919, was The Miracle Man—because it's a miracle that the theater has survived for almost a century. "The Ellen is a beloved building by those who grew up in Bozeman," says John Ludin, executive director of the theater. "It was the place to be and where everybody went to movies for decades. When its doors shut, as many of these theaters did due to economics, it was a blow to the whole downtown."
With the help of generous donors, a local theater company in search of a performance home renovated the Ellen to its original opulence for a 2008 reopening. "Those who had never been inside were stunned to find such a beautiful and ornate theater in the middle of Montana," Ludin says. The Ellen was built by the sons of Bozeman founder Nelson Story and named for their mother. No expense was spared, hence all the gilded plasterwork and fancy fixtures.
Makoshika State Park, Glendive
Makoshika, Montana's largest state park, is named for a variant spelling of a Lakota Indian phrase meaning "bad land" or "bad earth." The 11,538 acres of stark terrain are filled with bizarre rock formations set against the big sky. Even though this is prime dinosaur fossil hunting country, no digging or removal of artifacts is allowed. Instead, head to the visitor center to see the intact Triceratops skull on display, take a scenic drive through the rock formations, and hike the nature trails. Seasonal activities include camping, archery, Frisbee golf, and, in June, Buzzard Day, which celebrates the annual return of migrating turkey vultures to eastern Montana.
Bannack State Park, Dillon
"You get a real sense of what the Old West was like walking the streets of Bannack," says park ranger Tom Lowe. "Being here, you can't help but feel like you're back in the Gold Rush era."
- Nat Geo Expeditions
Site of Montana's first big gold find (in 1862) and Montana's first territorial capital, Bannack State Park is one of the best preserved ghost towns in the West. The 1,600-acre park includes over 50 buildings built between 1862 and 1900 for a population that peaked at 3,000. Plan a visit during mid-July's Bannack Days: a celebration of Montana's early mining history that includes gold panning, wagon riding, and candlemaking.
Grant-Kohrs Ranch National Historic Site, Deer Lodge
Back in 1862, Johnny Grant built the main house at this spot, once the center of a ten-million-acre cattle empire. Four years later, Grant sold the house to Conrad Kohrs, who later became known as the "cattle king" of Montana. Today, the Grant-Kohrs spread is devoted to commemorating the role of cattlemen in American history. The Old West heritage site consists of 88 historic structures and more than 23,000 artifacts, including a collection of historic wagons and buggies, used by people who lived and worked at the ranch from the 1860s to 1960s.
There's also plenty of living history, too. While a historic site, Grant-Kohrs remains a working ranch. There are cattle, working cowboys, and daily chores to perform. Get a self-guiding map at the visitor center to tour the ranch buildings and trails. Be sure to ask where the cattle are located that day, so you can hike out to see the herd.
Museum of the Plains Indian, Browning
Look for the yellow-topped tepee marking the spot of the Museum of the Plains Indian. Founded in 1941, the museum tells the story of the Blackfeet, Crow, Northern Cheyenne, Sioux, Assiniboine, Arapaho, Shoshone, Nez Perce, Flathead, Chippewa, and Cree tribes. The collection includes thousands of Native American artifacts, such as clothes, weapons, household items, and toys. Among the museum's permanent exhibitions are three dioramas depicting Native American life in the Old West: carved wood panels by Blackfeet sculptor John Clarke and murals by Blackfeet artist Victor Pepion.

text: The U.S. Department of Justice has opposed requests by Facebook, Google, Microsoft and other companies to publish the number of surveillance requests they receive from the U.S. National Security Agency and other agencies. Requests from five Internet companies, also including Yahoo and LinkedIn, would hurt the NSA's ability to conduct surveillance on "particular" Internet communications, the DOJ said in a brief filed with the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court on Monday. If Internet communications providers publish statistics about surveillance requests, that information could drive terrorists to other providers, the DOJ said."Releasing information that could induce adversaries to shift communications platforms in order to avoid surveillance would cause serious harm to the national security interests of the United States," DOJ lawyers wrote in the brief.The U.S. intelligence community would not object to a release of the total number of surveillance requests made per year, not divided up by company, said James Clapper, U.S. director of national intelligence, speaking at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing Wednesday. But identifying the surveillance requests by company would allow terrorists to go "shopping around for providers that aren't covered" by U.S. surveillance efforts, he said.Clapper said President Barack Obama's administration would be opposed to legislation from Senator Al Franken, a Minnesota Democrat, that would allow companies to report surveillance requests every six months. Several tech companies and civil liberties groups voiced support for Franken's Surveillance Transparency Act in a letter to lawmakers Tuesday.Internet and telecom companies have been under pressure to reveal details about how they work with the NSA following revelations in June by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden about massive data-collection programs at the agency. The NSA says the data collection efforts, which include monitoring U.S. telephone and Internet communications, are necessary to counter the threat of terrorism.Google, Microsoft and other companies have filed petitions at the surveillance court in an effort to publish more information about the surveillance requests they receive. Several Internet companies have voiced concern that recent press revelations about NSA surveillance programs have eroded consumer trust in their services.The DOJ, in its brief, also argued the surveillance court doesn't have the jurisdiction to "broadly grant declaratory relief" requested by the Internet companies. The court has a limited and "specialized" jurisdiction, the DOJ argued.The Center for Democracy and Technology, a digital rights group pushing for more NSA transparency, said it was disappointed in the DOJ's opposition to the company requests."We are disappointed but unsurprised to see the government opposing the Internet industry's plea that it be allowed to be more transparent with its users about the extent of the NSA's internet surveillance," Kevin Bankston, a senior counsel at CDT, said in an email. "The privacy and civil liberties community will continue to assist these companies as they press for their rights and the rights of their customers, both in the FISA court and in Congress."Microsoft will continue to push for transparency, a spokeswoman for the company said. Transparency "is critical to understanding the facts and having an informed debate about the right balance between personal privacy and national security," she said in an email.Grant Gross covers technology and telecom policy in the U.S. government for The IDG News Service.

The Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby made a last minute visit to Nigeria today to offer his heartfelt sympathy for the recent events affecting the country, including the recent bombings in Jos and the abduction of more than 200 schoolgirls who have now been missing for almost two months.
Archbishop Justin paid a pastoral call on President Goodluck Jonathan in Abuja to express his personal pain and condolence about the ongoing terrorism affecting parts of North Nigeria. The Archbishop, the President, and the Primate of Nigeria, the Most Reverend Nicholas Okoh, then prayed privately together.
The Archbishop, who has visited Nigeria on many occasions – including Jos and other parts of Northern Nigeria, where he worked while leading the reconciliation work at Coventry Cathedral – has previously condemned the abduction of the schoolgirls, calling it an atrocious and inexcusable act, and urging for them to be released immediately and unharmed.

Return to Tivoli Day
The town of Oak Bluffs, planning a new celebration at the end of summer in 1978, turned to its own history and took the name of Tivoli from the community arcade building that was the pride of the town and the center of its nightlife at the lively turn of the century. Since 1978, Tivoli Day has taken root as a favorite celebration in the afterglow of the Labor Day holiday, a festive landmark placed squarely at the intersection of Island summer and fall.
Tivoli Day has all the energy of the Tisbury Street Fair, the birthday celebration held each year in neighboring Vineyard Haven. But the street fair dances to the rhythms of July, while Tivoli moves to those of September. This is a profound difference: No matter how crowded Circuit avenue gets during the height of festivities tomorrow afternoon, there will always be that sense of extra ease and spaciousness that September brings to life on the Vineyard.
Tomorrow Circuit avenue will close down to auto traffic from nine o'clock in the morning to six o'clock in the evening, and beginning at noon the avenue will become a festive block party replete with music, food and good fellowship. Johnny Hoy and the Bluefish, a favorite Vineyard blues band, will rock the avenue and there will be plenty of other entertainment including kite flying, an antique bicycle show, a waiter and waitress Olympics and — a pirate ship? It remains unclear how the ship will navigate to Circuit avenue — but that is part of the adventure: you'll have to come to find out.
We can't imagine a better time for Tivoli Day than now at the midpoint of September, when the air is crisp and clear, the frantic edge of the summer season has begun to soften and Islanders can look forward to catching up with old friends and comparing answers to that favorite question, "How was your summer?"
Tivoli Day comes at the perfect place and in the perfect moment. Look forward to seeing you there.

Israel had every right to block the Gaza flotilla. Britain and the U.S. have in the past employed similar measures, argues Andrew Roberts.
In the avalanche of hypocrisy in the British and American media over the Gazarmada, nothing has been more absurd than the spouting we've heard over the Israeli use of the naval blockade.
Today's New York Times leader declares the blockade is "unjust" and calls for the U.S. "to permanently lift the blockade" through United Nations action. The writer, Amos Oz, adds that Israel is trying to use power to defeat an idea, and, "No idea has ever been defeated by force—not by siege, not by bombardment, not by being flattened by tank treads and not by marine commandos." (Actually, those were exactly the means that defeated the idea of National Socialism, but Oz is only a novelist.)
Blockades have been used by both Britain and America for centuries—on the whole, with extremely good effect.
Meanwhile, the Guardian today calls on Israel to start "dealing with both wings of the Palestinian national movement without preconditions." The illegality, viciousness and moral horror of the blockade itself is simply taken for granted.
Yet blockades have been used by both Britain and America for centuries—on the whole with extremely good effect. And those blockades were far tougher in every way than Israel's blockade on Gaza.
• Asli Aydintasbas: In Israel Fight, Turkey Spurns West • Stephen Kinzer: Treat Israel Like Iran While no one in Gaza is starving, despite hysterical anti-Israeli propaganda to the contrary, the Royal Navy genuinely did starve tens of thousands of Germans to death with its blockade in the Great War of 1914-18. One of the reasons for the German collapse on the home front was the efficacy of the blockade. From the war against Napoleon onwards, Britain has employed blockades—on the open seas in international waters—to interdict the enemy's trade, weapons supplies and food. In 1940 Britain even prevented (by diplomacy obviously) America from sending a humanitarian aid flotilla to Holland and Belgium, on the basis that the Nazis would just confiscate anything that was landed.
America, for its part, imposed a blockade on Japan during the Second World War, and the quarantine that JFK threw around Cuba during the 1962 Missile Crisis was effectively a weapons blockade also. The key difference was that the Russian ships had the sense to turn back, whereas such was their desire for a propaganda coup that the Gazarmada refused to, despite many explicit public warnings from Israel.
A high-placed source at the United Nations told me that several covert compromise deals were offered the leaders of the pro-Palestinian flotilla; deals that would have allowed almost everything on board to reach Gaza without Israeli border checks; deals that could have saved face on both sides, if only the boats did not continue on their course.
All were refused.
Once force was used, as it had to be in the last resort (although possibly not at night and certainly not with paint-guns,) the weasel word 'proportionality' started to crop up. It was first used by Nicolas Sarkozy to criticize Israel, as though the whole event would have been fine, if only the Israelis had had the decency to have 10 of their men killed in order to balance the proportionality of the losses. The fact is that to respond 'proportionally' in warfare is merely to ensure the continuance of the conflict.
William Hague, the British foreign secretary, has also criticized the Israelis for a lack of 'proportionality,' yet Britain owes her very survival to the way that she has regularly upped the stakes every time she is threatened. During the Blitz of 1940-41, over 50,000 Britons were killed by the Luftwaffe; the response of the RAF and USAF was to inaugurate a Combined Bomber Offensive that killed 600,000 Germans. Anything else—such as stopping at 50,000 for the sake of 'proportionality'—would have been wrong, absurd and counterproductive. Furthermore, does anyone suppose Hamas considers anything approaching the principle of 'proportionality' in its quest to destroy Israel?
Where we hypocritically fail to employ any genuine sense of proportionality is in our condemnation of Israel for actions that we ourselves would undertake tomorrow, if provoked in the way that Israel has been by Hamas since the start of the Intifada.
Consider that Israel, at a total population of 7.3 million, is under one-fortieth the size of the USA, at over 300 million. Now consider that Hamas and Hizbollah have fired over 6,000 rockets into Israel since 2007. Now multiply 6,000 by 40, and try to consider what any American President—even Barack Obama—would not have done if Canada were to have fired nearly a quarter of a million rickets at America over the past three years, killing tens of thousands of innocent American citizens and ignoring every warning to stop? Blockade? There'd have been a full-scale invasion years ago, and anybody suggesting that under those circumstances America should start dealing "with both wings of the Canadian national movement without preconditions" would be rightly written off as an appeaser or traitor.
So the next time the Western liberal media feels inclined to mount its high horse over Israel's self-defensive blockade of Gaza—which of course goes right to the heart of Israel's right to exist, as denied by the Hamas government of Gaza—their leader writers should multiply by 40 (in the US case) and by 8 (in Britain's case) the number of casualties of the rocket attacks, and consider how we would have responded in those circumstances. That's the real proportionality that we ought to be considering here.
Back in March, 46 South Korean sailors were killed by a North Korean torpedo, but the UN Security Council has yet to meet to discuss the issue. It's been equally relaxed about the revolution in Thailand and half a dozen other international hotspots that have claimed the lives of many more than 10 Turkish terrorists or would-be terrorists. Yet yesterday, within 24 hours of the flotilla being boarded by Israel, the Council was in full session hearing 11 hours of proposals that Israel be accorded pariah status.
Let's have some proportionality, by all means. But not the kind that Messrs Sarkozy and Hague are prescribing.
