The Last Team Standing Event Recap: Mae and the Boys vs. The Sidemen, Snapmatic Winners and More
| Author: R* L
The stakes were high this past weekend as GTA Online players went all-in for the Last Team Standing Event, cleaning up with bonus RP, GTA$ and other exclusive rewards like the weekend-only unlockable Manhunt "Please Stop Me" throwback mask, making their own custom LTS Jobs with newly added Creator mode support in The Last Team Standing Update, and more. By the way, for those who didn't get a chance to nab one of those coveted Special Crate Drops containing the rare Victory Fist tee, good news in that we've extended them to keep on dropping all the way until this Monday October 13th and also have increased the frequency so you have a better chance than ever of catching one. Read on for a recap of our livestream showdown, as well as the winning shots in the #LTS Snapmatic Contest and more.
After losing to Mae and the Boys 2-0 in the opening round, The Sidemen try to find redemption in Hawick. Tune in this week for all 4 parts over at the Rockstar YouTube channel in the GTA Online Sessions Playlist.
The weekend festivities kicked off with an epic Last Team Standing livestream face-off between two teams of all-star GTA YouTubers. Mae and the Boys, led by TheMissesMae and featuring Lui Calibre, Mini Ladd and Daithi De Nogla – took on The Sidemen, led by Vikkstar123 and featuring KSI, MiniMinter and Zerkaa.
With Lazlow and MLG's veteran competitive play-by-play expert Chris Puckett calling the action, the teams took advantage of the new Rounds system introduced in The Last Team Standing Update to go head-to-head in the "best two out of three" format across several new LTS Jobs.
After taking the first Job ("Mount Josiah") in straight sets 2-0, Mae and the Boys continued their winning streak into the first round of match #2 in "Hawick LTS", with Lui proving to be a virtual one-man-army nabbing four out of the five necessary kills. Despite doing his best to survive by way of hanging out beachside in round 3 at "Paleto Bay", last (side)man standing KSI couldn't avoid the inevitable and Mae's Crew found themselves up 3-0 and pitching a perfect game.
In "Del Perro Freeway LTS", things finally started to gel for The Sidemen as they came out guns blazing. Led by Vikk's dominating four kills, the guys were able to break their opponent's momentum and take the first round. Not taking well to the sting of mortality, Mae's squad buckled down in round 2 though and were completely flawless, forcing round 3 after a 5-0 domination.
With a 1-1 tie and only Lui left alive squaring off against all four of The Sidemen, it looked like Vikk's squad might keep hope alive with their first match win, but Lui was having none of it. Going on a late round tear, Lui amazingly overcame 1v4 odds and picked off all four remaining members of Team Sidemen, finishing it off by capping MiniMinter to take the deciding round and ultimately the match. Though Puckett declared it the worst choke in recent competitive gaming history, it was all in good, epic fun.
In addition to parts one and two, we'll have episodes three and four of this LTS battle posted at the official Rockstar YouTube channel in the GTA Online Sessions Playlist later this week. Subscribe to get notified every time we post a video. Tremendous thanks to all eight of our guest players for being such amazing sports as well as to Chris Puckett, whose chemistry with Lazlow was on display from the get-go.
We'd also to like to take this opportunity to shout out our friends in the streaming universe that hosted some great LTS-themed live streams over the weekend. Check out Jade Jolie, Garrett of Jobless Gamers (who did an all-Furore car show), and Hike The Gamer. Make any killer vids with new content this weekend? Post them in the comments so the rest of the community can check them out!
The Snapmatic paparazzi took the new bikes, car, gear and best Last Team Standing memes and let their #LTS imaginations run wild in pursuit of fame and GTA$ fortune. Below are five of our favorites, all first-time Snapmatic photo contest winners who each will receive GTA$1M plus the BODYBAG license plate for their in-game vehicles.
This one really should be framed and hanging at the SAGMA. BushyArtwork captures the new LCC Innovation in striking and artful black and white fashion. Entitled "The Lights Go On"
We expected that there would be a fair amount of Manhunt tributes and re-creations happening, but the above "Manhunt" by SPLAP-FART, takes the cake. To truly appreciate it, you have to compare it to this classic screenshot from the original Manhunt release. Not only did SPLAP-FART nail an amazingly close re-creation of the pose, lighting and surrounding area, but also replicated the outfit and used the meme creator to simulate the efx including static – and intentionally shrunk the image down in the meme creator for total surveillance camera effect. Slow clap… We'd be remiss not to throw an honorable mention nod to veteran Snapmatic cameraman ZazDillinger who came damn close with his "Beg 4 Mercy" attempt, and this Kill Cam one entitled "He's Behind You… (Manhunt)" by KiinGSTeR.
A gorgeous sunset drenched Furore GT perfectly composed against the San Andreas waves. So lovely. "Lago Zancudo" by Vinewoodonfire.
The very fun "How Many Ninjas Can You See?" by The_Monk52. We'll be honest. We have no idea. Tell us, Monk. Although it may be a trick question as Has333 points out in the photo comments: "a true ninja is always stealthy, they don't take selfies! xD"
On a steel horse he rides. "A Perfect Match" by that_VIP_guy – a very clever idea pitting an appropriately chromed-out Hakuchou beside the iconic Rockford Hills stallion statue.
Honorable mention to SilverFox_2 who similarly juxtaposed the shark-like nose of the Furore GT beside the famous Vespucci Beach shark sculpture.
And a few honorable mentions for some other stellar snaps...
- Ride the lightning. Luism1987 captures the new Shitzu in the midst of a perfect storm in "Equality Way".
- Bjodjus_LXG uses the new Innovation bike, clothes and mask to channel Ghost Rider in "BACK TO HELL!"
- #HIGHLIFE Snapmatic winner and #INDEPENDENCEDAY runner up HairyHole is back again. With (wait for it…) "Hairy Rim Shot," Mr. Hole gets low to show off the new Furore.
- The sunset provides the optimal lighting for lvc0034 in "LCC INNOVATION".
- The somewhat abstract "The Last Man Standing" by Joe-_-Dalton - an artful suggestion that after all of the bloodshed on the streets of Los Santos, the only pedestrian left standing may be the one blinking in the crosswalk sign.
Congratulations as well to our 10 winners of the Event Gear Giveaway, each of whom will be sleeping tight in GTAV Bodybag Sleeping Bags, in addition to taking home a GTAV logo tee and Rockstar stickers. Confirmed winners include TrueViceGamer, Seltsem, XxNT160xX, sasrawks, pharoahdogo, LOPUZZZ, Jester-in-black, CWB493, zerohero2000 and PJBOYLOKS to be confirmed. Be sure to check your spam folder for an email from email@example.com in case you have been selected as a potential winner!
Finally another reminder to keep your eyes on the skies as Special Crate Drops with the rare Victory Fist tee will continue to fall through this Monday the 13th and also stay tuned for forthcoming Rockstar Verified Jobs to be announced soon including the 5 selections of the #LTS Creator Competition as well as selections from the previous #FlightSchool Air Races Competition.

Cheap Elliptical Trainers From An Industry Giant
From its humble beginnings as a part time business for two college students in Utah, ICON Health and Fitness has grown into one of the world's largest manufacturers of fitness equipment. The company's credentials are impressive: 4000 employees in 11 locations around the world, nearly 200 patents, ISO 9001 certified and a portfolio of some of the best known brands in the fitness industry. Among this stable of brands are some of the best-selling elliptical trainers in the world -- Weslo, ProForm, NordicTrack, and Reebok.
It's no wonder these ellipticals sell so well. They retail from $200 - $900 with an average purchase price of around $400. They boast features usually found on higher-end elliptical trainers such as heart rate monitors, several built-in exercise programs, built-in cooling fans, motorized resistance settings, and iFit.com technology.
The vast majority of consumers in the market for a home elliptical trainer balk at spending more than $500 for a machine. An elliptical trainer from ICON Health and Fitness for $400 seems like a no-brainer, but before you whip out your credit card, you may want to take a peek under the covers.
*The Sears Alliance -- I believe that the biggest factor that makes elliptical trainers from ICON Health and Fitness such big sellers is that Sears carries them. Sears is very well associated with affordable products such as tools, entertainment equipment, and appliances. They also have a good reputation for service. Just don't expect the sales person in the sporting goods department to give you the facts about product returns with ICON ellipticals. I've tried, but who can blame them. It's their job to sell product.
If you do decide to purchase an ICON elliptical trainer then you're probably better off purchasing it from Sears. Sears seems to be pretty good about making exchanges if you have problems during the 90-day warranty period. In some cases, they may just refund your money, but your mileage may vary here so don't count on it. After the 90-day warranty expires then you'll have to deal directly with ICON. Based on reviewers at Epinions.com this tends to be a frustrating and unsatisfying process.
*The 90-Day Warranty Says It All -- If a fitness equipment manufacturer isn't willing to stand behind their product for more than 90-days, then that should be a big honking red flag! Again, take a look at some of the reviews at Epinions.com and see when these ellipticals start breaking down. In many cases, it's before the end of the 90-day warranty period!
*Consumers Speak Out at Epinions.com -- If you haven't checked out product reviews at Epinions.com, you really owe it to yourself to have a look. Just about all of the elliptical trainers from ICON are reviewed here. Real consumers write the reviews and some go into great detail about every aspect of their experience.
In some cases the reviewers describe their on-going experiences with product returns and the customer service department. Do yourself a huge favor and read every one of these reviews if you're considering one of these ellipticals.
*Elliptical Trainer Reviews That Don't Review Anything -- Unfortunately many of the elliptical trainer reviews sites on the Internet give glowing reviews to every elliptical trainer they advertise. When I see rave reviews of any ICON elliptical trainer on these sites I know to not trust any of their elliptical trainer reviews.
My hope is that ICON will eventually begin listening to customer feedback and redesign their elliptical trainers to correct the most glaring weaknesses. Extending the parts and labor warranty from 90-days to a full year would go a long way towards demonstrating their commitment to both their products as well as to their customers.
In the mean time you can protect yourself when shopping for an elliptical trainer by doing your homework -- both on-line and off. It all really comes down to putting the odds in your favor. My suggestion is to narrow down your search to several higher quality residential trainers that you've tested off-line, MSRP $1000 - $3000, and then shop on-line for the best possible price.

(Reuters) - The Denver Broncos will play Sunday's AFC championship without starting cornerback Chris Harris, who was ruled out with a knee injury, according to a report on the NFL website on Monday.
Harris suffered a torn ACL in his right knee during Denver's 24-17 playoff win over the San Diego Chargers and will need surgery to repair it, the report said.
"Blessed to be able to help the team get this Far, and will still do my part in meeting room to help my guys out," Harris wrote on his Twitter account.
The 24-year-old Harris, who has three interceptions for Denver this season, is a key man in the top-seeded Broncos' secondary that will be tested by New England quarterback Tom Brady and his receivers in Sunday's game.
After Harris went out Sunday in the third quarter against the Chargers, San Diego quarterback Philip Rivers took advantage of his replacement, Quentin Jammer, during a late rally that fell short.

Mark Lago's deal did not work out to badly after all. The Horizon soccer coach made an agreement with starting goalkeeper Cameron Root that if the team won last week's game against Open Door he would let Root play in the field. Horizon won, and Lago was left with the quandary of starting untested goalkeeper Mark Denzinger behind a still developing defense. However, Root put Lago's mind at ease when he scored two goals playing as a forward to help lead the Hawks to a 4-2 win over Columbia Christian.
Denzinger didn't do to badly for himself either, picking up nine saves, and surrendering one of the two goals on a penalty kick in the final minute of the match.
The 4-1 lead that Horizon built in the second half allowed Root to get in some substitution, both to get his bench players some playing and to rest his starters.
"It was really good to be able to get some subs in," Lago said.
The Hawks got on the board midway through the first half when Josh Boyden cleaned up a rebound with a diving shot into the goal. Root scored his first goal in the 36th minute.
"He did like a pro," Lago said of Root's score. "He took it off his chest and put it off the far post."
Columbia Christian scored just before halftime to cut the lead to 2-1. Lago said that he would like to play Root in the field more often, but likes having him in goal to anchor his young defense. Root made the decision a little more difficult with his second goal of the match in the 36th minute, when he crossed up the Columbia Christian goalkeeper and fired a shot just beyond his reach.
Michael Jensen came off the bench and finished the scoring for the Hawks when he pounded a shot into the net from just beyond the goal box in the 74th minute.
By the time Columbia Christian got on the board again, scoring on a penalty kick after a handball was called inside the Horizon goal box, the game was already out of reach.
Horizon now heads out on the road with an undefeated record for four straight road games, the first of which will come Thursday night against North Clackamas Christian.
"It'll be a dogfight on Thursday," Lago said. Lago was impressed with Denzinger's play in goal and was glad to see the team's defense continue to improve.
"If we tighten up our defense a little bit, we'll be able to gang in there with the best of them," Lago said.

Japan's rent-a-guy business now offers handsome butlers to cater to a woman's needs
Japan is a country where you can rent pretty much anything you like, whether it be CDs, DVDs, phones, boyfriends, or young men to make you cry. Now you can even hire a handsome butler to pamper you whenever you feel the need.
New butler rental company Royal has been in existence for less than a month, and it's already been featured on various media outlets in Japan. Proudly proclaiming itself to be the first rental business of its kind, Royal offers the services of 9 young men, ranging in age from 19 to 32 years old. For 5000 yen an hour (about 44 US dollars), women can hire any one of the handsome butlers to cater to their every need. Not only are the butlers supposedly very good looking, they take their work seriously, as seen in the photos below taken for Japanese online news site Rocket News 24. According to Royal's website, they rent out their qualified butlers to accompany ladies for dinners, shopping, dating, counseling, museum dates, amusement park dates, taking trips, karaoke, help with household chores, cooking, and of course, aromatherapy sessions. So basically, if you spend a day with any one of their handsome helpers, you will be set back anywhere between 300 to 500 dollars, not including paying for everything you do with him. That sounds like an awful lot of money, but sometimes, you just want to be pampered.
Despite its media exposure, Royal only has a grand total of 14 likes on its Facebook page. I wonder why . . .

The Samsung Nexus 10 tablet appears in new photos, showing off unannounced specs of Google's upcoming tablet, in a posting on BriefMobile.
BriefMobile got their hands on the unannounced tablet and took a number of photos of the device that match the leaked manual. The tablet looks like a mix between recent Samsung tablets like the Galaxy Note 10.1 and the Google Nexus 7.
According to the report, the Nexus 10 uses a dual-core 1.7GHz Exynos 5250 processor which BriefMobile claims outperforms the Snarpdragon S4 Pro and Apple's A6 processor in the iPhone 5. As rumored before, the Nexus 10 has a 10-inch display with a 2560×1600 resolution that has a higher pixel density than the iPad third and fourth generation.
The tablet comes with 16GB of internal storage, 2GB of RAM, a rear-facing 5MP camera, front-facing camera, and NFC. Like recent Samsung tablets, it also has two speakers on the front of the device on either side of the screen.
There is no microSD card slot in the tablet so users will only have 16GB and the cloud for their storage needs. Google will likely announce a 32GB Nexus 7 tablet on October 29, so we may see a higher capacity Nexus 10 tablet as well.
The Nexus 10 runs Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, which the LG Nexus 4 will also likely use. The tablet doesn't use the single task bar at the bottom like most current 10-inch Android tablets, instead it seems to use a UI like the Nexus 7 with three virtual buttons on the bottom, a dock, and a menu bar on top. It's very similar to the stock Android UI on phones, just stretched to fit the tablet.
Android 4.2 Jelly Bean will add multiple user accounts for tablets, which will make the tablet easier to share with a family. Though it also means storage might be tight for users who share the tablet with too many people.
Android 4.2 Jelly Bean doesn't appear to add any new apps, but it does change the notification drawer as well. After pulling the drawer down once users can pull it down a second time to open a quick settings menu with quick options to change users, change brightness, toggle Wi-Fi, toggle Bluetooth, airplane mode, and go into the settings menu.
Look for more details about the Nexus 10 tablet, a new Nexus phone, and other Android devices on Monday October 29th.

A very happy new year to you! We hope 2016 will be a great year for you, whatever your hopes and aspirations may be...
New Year is often a time of reflection - when we ponder on the highs and lows of the past 12 months, and when we have time to look at our lives as a whole. Are we as happy and fulfilled as we'd like to be? Have we achieved all that we had hoped for ourselves? It's not surprising that many business owners say that the initial decision to start their new enterprise was made over the Christmas holidays, or at the start of a new year...
It makes sense. New year new start. But would you take the risk of leaving a perfectly good, well paid career to pursue your personal passion or dream? During the last 15 months since starting Keep it in Kent, we have met so many enterprising, creative, resourceful people who have set up their own thriving independent businesses. In the last couple of months, I met up with three women who have turned their back on perfectly acceptable, interesting careers to follow their own dreams.
So I thought I would share their (very different) stories with you, as it might just provide the inspiration you need to take the plunge!
Katie joined the Police at the age of 22, and although she enjoyed it, she tells me that she always wanted to do something food related. For five years, Katie continued her role as a Police Officer, whilst making wedding cakes at the weekends and in the evenings - sometimes staying up until 4am to get them finished! Discovering a particular skill and love for making chocolate wedding cakes, Katie decided to take an online course at the start of 2015. By April she was no longer a Police Officer, but was running her own chocolate business. It wasn't an easy decision to leave behind the work friendships and the regular income, but with some careful planning (and a short-term job at a Call Centre), Katie has managed in just a few months to build up a successful business that can support her financially. As for the companionship of work colleagues, Katie told me that there's such an amazing sense of community amongst all the small food producers and craft makers in Kent. She has made a number of new friends who she regularly sees at the various events that she attends around the county.
It's clear that Katie loves her new life as a chocolatier. It may be hard work (and her home has been taken over with chocolate making paraphernalia, packaging materials and stock...) but she thoroughly enjoys the creative process and says that she is always making and trying out new and interesting flavours. Her popular lemon and lime chocolate was actually made by mistake! In 2016, Katie is looking forward to getting into the wedding market, selling to B&Bs, florists and then looking at the corporate market - as well as creating some new flavours such as salt & pepper, and wasabi pea... Having tasted Katie's salted caramel, and her ginger chocolates (it had to be done!) I'm looking forward to seeing her work her magic with her new range!
Clare worked for 15 years in Financial Services as an IT Business Analyst. Managing a team of 7 people, her job required her to travel regularly a couple of times a month from home in Kent up to Edinburgh. Clare says her work was enjoyable but incredibly stressful, particularly when her son was a baby - however, she was good at her job and loved the fact that her managerial salary funded lots of world travel with her family. 2008 was a turning point for Clare following a car accident that injured her back, and prompted the decision to give up her career in banking. Moving into recruitment meant less travelling for work, but this too was a very pressurised job, with stretching targets to meet each month.
Clare had always enjoyed applying make-up and would often help her friends before going out for the evening. Her transition from Financial Services into the world of professional make-up also happened by accident... A friend had booked herself onto a make-up course, and asked Clare to be her model. Rather than just attend as a model, Clare decided to take the course too and absolutely loved it - and so her initial dream to become a mobile beautician was born...
In 2012, Clare made the move to a 3 day a week job with the National Careers Serivice in Rochester Prison. This enabled her to build up her business gradually over a period of three years. In 2013, Claire took her first booking for a wedding party of five. It went so well that she got 3 bookings off the back of it! Having discovered her talent for, and love of wedding make-up, Clare has been focusing entirely on wedding make-up as her speciality. She has become so sought after that she only has a few dates left in 2016, and has bookings through to 2018!
Clare told me that her career in Financial Services gave her an excellent grounding in how to run a professional business. She takes the organisation of her business very seriously, and works tirelessly to ensure that everyone receives excellent service and regular communication. She is now looking forward to the possibility of taking on some administrative support to get some time back for herself and her family. Whilst her workload has never slowed down, Clare loves the fact that many of "her" brides become personal friends. She is also delighted to have become the "family make-up artist" for many of the families that she has got to know by being involved in one of the most special days - their wedding day! Clare is also extremely proud to have won TWO Wedding Industry Experts awards, which are voted for by the clients, and which gives her a fantastic stamp of approval from those who really matter.
What advice would Clare give for anyone thinking of starting their own business? Three things:
1. Plan
2. Plan
She can't emphasise enough how important it is to work out where your client base is and how you're going to cover your bills. Working part-time to start with is a good strategy to help build up a contingency fund just in case you have a quiet spell. She also recommends finding out who's working in your industry, and rather than seeing them as competition, work together to share best practices. This collaborative approach enables you to support each other and make cross-referrals, so you don't feel you're entirely on your own!
Katie loved dressing up as a child, and when she was asked what she wanted to be, she always said "A Princess!"
Little did her family know at the time, but what Katie wants, she will get... and through determination and a lot of self-belief, Katie has created a successful Kent-based children's entertainment business. To this day, they can't quite believe what Katie has managed to achieve in just a couple of years.
Katie began her career working as a hairdresser and beauty therapist, whilst finishing all her beauty courses. She enjoyed her job, but always wanted to have her own business - it was just a matter of timing. There wasn't a particular moment that Katie decided to "go for it", but when her youngest son started school in September 2013, she planned a January 2014 launch. Knowing it was a competitive market, Katie decided that she needed to focus on quality, so rather than buying off-the-shelf costumes and wigs, she commissioned her first two bespoke Belle and Sleeping Beauty costumes. Only having a Facebook page to start with, Katie was delighted to be approached by Toys R Us to help them with a Disney Doll promotion, and later by The National Trust, where she now runs a fairytale school/Princess Academy for aspiring young princes and princesses.
Katie's multi-talented team provides "real" Princesses who can sing, tell stories and teach etiquette - and not a wig in sight! In fact Katie is certain that the speed of her success is because she has created a strong brand that's different to everyone else. She doesn't advertise, as she says she doesn't need to. The next step for Katie is to franchise her business model out to four more counties in the South East, with the help of the Kent Foundation. She insists that she will stay true to her mission of providing a quality product and great customer service - even if it takes a little more time to get everything right.
So what's Katie's advice for anyone considering setting up their own business? "Just do it!" She's a firm believer in getting on with things, not to think too much or you won't do anything. She also says it's important to try things out, and follow the trends. If it works, go with it... if not, try something else. Katie feels the key to her success is to keep launching new ideas. Next on the horizon is to bring in "super car" experiences, so children can enjoy a ride in an Aston Martin to school on their birthday, and also to further develop her idea of children's pamper parties and salons.
We have no doubt that Katie will realise her dreams!
In many ways these three women are extraordinary, but in others they're quite ordinary. They have simply been bold enough to take the step from employment to becoming owners of their own businesses. So could 2016 be the year that you take the plunge? Do you have a business idea waiting to be put into action? Our next guest blog will set out some useful advice for anyone wanting to turn an idea into a functioning, profit making business - so make sure to check back next week.
Until then... Happy New Year!!

Not only has the summer flown by plunging me into the fall, September has come and gone as well. During these months, I went out of my comfort zone and wrote in a different genre.
The idea came to me when two different people asked me to participate in group projects. It seemed like a good idea, so I said yes. I wanted to keep my style, but felt horror would be the best way to go for the stories. I have never written a horror story before; although, my work does have a dark vibe to it.
I watched horror movies to get into the horror writing mood. While I've seen one or two, they're not my normal pick. I found ones I liked, and ones I hated. However, I was inspired by them all. I came up with two good ideas (one for each group), and went to work.
Surprisingly, it has been a struggle to write two short stories. It took awhile to come up with relevant ideas. That was the hardest part. I underestimated how hard it is to come up with an idea out of thin air instead of using an idea that has spent months bopping around in my mind.
Once I had the ideas, it should have been easy from there. Instead, it took ages for me to get what I wanted written down. Part of it was nerves. I want the stories to be great, but I know they will need lots of editing. I hope the groups will not be disappointed with my first drafts. Especially because I struggled to make my sentences tense enough. Horror involves jumps and scares. That's not my forte.
This is also my first time working with other artists. I was nervous about sending out an informal contract to make sure I knew what I was agreeing to. The problem with contracts is that they can be too detailed or not detailed enough. I did my best.
Sadly, one of the collaborations fell a part. It happens. I am happy that I tried, and got to know another artist a little better. I'm still a part of the other group, but I'm not sure if we'll make it all the way to a finished anthology. I hope we do. I also hope to improve my horror writing with the group's feedback. We should be exchanging stories shortly. I'll keep you guys updated.
Have you ever collaborating with other artists on a project? I'd love to hear about your experiences!

"Severe environmental destruction is the legacy of 40-plus years of oil drilling by Shell Oil in an area of Nigeria known as the Niger Delta, home to over 14 indigenous ethnic nationalities, including the Ogoni people. Ogoni farmlands were expropriated without compensation, their environment polluted, their communities attacked by the military if they protested. The CIA reports that the Niger Delta has suffered the equivalent of 10 Exxon Valdez oil spills, without ever being cleaned up."...more

Anthropology faculty members maintain records of when and where MA and PhD students find employment as data become available. The true success of a graduate education is reflected in how well its students perform as professionals. The Department of Anthropology carefully follows professional trajectories of graduate students after they leave the program. As members of the profession, faculty members easily track academic employment and success by keeping close watch of how former graduate students' careers develop. Increasing numbers of MA and PhD graduates in anthropology now enter the private sector. In addition to traditional criteria for academic success (publication, grants, honors, and awards) the success of individuals employed outside of academia can be monitored through direct contact with employers.
Graduate students are prepared for professional careers in anthropology. Opportunistic data collected by monitoring postgraduate careers via one-on-one interactions and published information (American Anthropological Association) show that the graduate student program in the Department of Anthropology generally meets academic and applied professional needs. One exception relates to the need for more archaeologists who are trained in the sciences.
Changes Made on Basis of Findings
Changes made on the basis of findings include the acknowledgement of the need to become more systematic in data collection about post graduate career pathways. In response to recognition of the need for more comprehensive training in the sciences, the Department of Anthropology obtained a NSF-IGERT in Archaeological Sciences to support graduate students as well as to provide enhanced academic training.

A Congressional investigation has found that for ten years, HSBC violated U.S. laws and regulations aimed at preventing money laundering and the financing of terrorism.
Apparently HSBC transported $7 billion in cash from Mexico, benefiting drug cartels; financed illegal trade with Iran by up to $16 billion; and provided over $1 billion in cash for suspected terrorism, through Saudi Arabia. Identification of foreign parties to transactions was willfully removed from account records.
Meanwhile, HSBC has been divesting or whittling down its activities in the U.S.—branches, consumer finance, mortgages, "Premier" services. Let's help complete that process.
HSBC isn't needed here and has nothing to offer other than unique gigantism as a scofflaw. I'm not the first to place its U.S. charter at issue.
The Fed should require HSBC to divest promptly all remaining U.S. subsidiaries and operations. If "London" retaliates by excluding a U.S. bank, we can hope they'll choose to evict JPMorgan Chase's chief investment office – seemingly sited there to enjoy (I can't say profit from!) regulation even laxer than ours. But retaliation is unlikely. The U.K. has a floundering economy and is under multiple threats from the European Union attacking its status as financial hub.
The news about HSBC should amplify the growls about regulations which burden and disadvantage small institutions and businesses—and consumers—but from which the giants remain immune.
What's the USA Patriot Act about? What's FinCEN for? What's the cost vs. benefit of requiring lots of information, piles of reports on transactions and accounts—causing immense expense, delay and inconvenience for legitimate transactions? If there is persistent lack of will and means to enforce anti-money laundering laws against the greatest evildoer, then don't pay an ever-expanding bureaucracy to hunt mice with cannons.
Until we're rid of HSBC, put all the FinCEN and other AML absurdities on hold— a "bank holiday," as it were. Loading $200 on a new prepaid card, you'll get privacy rather than the third degree.
With the constantly increasing concentration of financial activity into a small number of incomprehensible and unmanageable institutions, why not just regulate from the top down? Put 85% of the rules and 85% of the examiners where 85% of the money is.
HSBC is unique. Until the 1990s it was headquartered in Hong Kong. Then it moved to London, when the British abandoned Hong Kong. HSBC proceeded to make foolish purchases of companies in Great Britain, the U.S. and elsewhere. It's been unsuccessful in major industrialized markets.
HSBC's slogan is "The World's Local Bank." That's the problem. It's local. The country manager is viceroy and the regional manager is king. That's why managers of HSBC "affiliates" (that is, HSBC-owned banks) in Arab and Latin countries could execute round trip and other U.S. transactions ignoring U.S. legal requirements. No lawyer or compliance officer in London could restrain them. HSBC values global compliance the same as global consumer finance or global credit card: important enough for lip service only. Change the slogan to "We're not globally connected."
What it lacks in competence, HSBC tries to make up for with intensive PR. Unique among the numerous institutions I've ever mentioned here, HSBC had a PR man contact me to question my facts. A short dialogue.
An HSBC executive announced his so-called resignation (apparently, only from a particular job title) at the Senate hearing—another spectacular PR coup. Only committing hara-kiri in the hearing room would get bigger headlines, while underscoring HSBC's exotic character.
Now it's moving its center of gravity back towards Hong Kong, so HSBC will become increasingly a Chinese bank—under the sway of the Chinese government, like all Chinese banks, no matter who owns them. HSBC already has become the largest international bank in China.
China, like Russia, still lacks a domestic bank with international reach. HSBC can be the first. Get it out of here before that happens.
HSBC previously proclaimed that banks need to change their culture. Too bad it can't revert to its own historic culture. After high school in Britain, its future CEO's took HSBC clerical jobs in Hong Kong. And they were bankers, not traders: Sir "Willie" Purves and then Sir John Bond—who left HSBC only in 2006. The bank was a simple colonial institution with no galactic ambitions, before executing its heedless acquisition strategy—similar to B of A's, but on a global scale. With the colonies gone, let HSBC returns to its Chinese nucleus. Good riddance.
Let's get and keep HSBC out of here.

Kingdom come is a first-class expose of Israel's coddled and deadly settler spawn by Fairfax's Middle East correspondent Ruth Pollard. I'm serialising it here. The Australian connection is most interesting:
"The small house of Saad and Riham Dawabshe still smells of the fire that took their lives and that of their 18-month-old son, Ali. The floor is a jumble of clothes, melted furniture and cracked glass, the walls blackened by the ferocious flames that two fire trucks struggled to extinguish. To hear witnesses retell the story of the firebombing in the West Bank village of Duma on July 31 is heart-stopping. Saad, 32, was already dying in front of his house by the time his brother Nasser reached him. Saad's wife Riham, 27, was lying nearby, clutching a blanket she believed held Ali. Two masked Israeli settlers stood over their bodies, determined, Nasser Dawabshe says, to see them die. Another son, five-year-old Ahmad, was trapped behind the lounge room door, his screams rising above the inferno. A neighbour managed to get him out. Ali could not be saved. 'The more we threw water on the flames the more they burned,' Nasser says.
"Days later, three young Jewish men were arrested. They are, Israeli security services allege, involved in a violent underground movement that aims to create a Jewish kingdom. Known as 'The Revolt', their plan entails attacking Palestinians to draw the Israel Defence Forces into a cycle of violence. One of these young men is Evyatar Slonim, a dual Australian-Israeli citizen. The 23-year-old now sits in a small cell in a high-security wing of Eshel Prison in the city of Beersheba. Accused by Israeli Defence Minister Moshe Yaalon of 'involvement in activity by an extremist Jewish group', Slonim was already the subject of a year-long 'administrative ban' prohibiting him from entering the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem when he was arrested. Meir Ettinger and Mordechai Meyer, who were arrested at the same time, are also in administrative detention.
"Slonim is a relative of controversial former Knesset member Rabbi Moshe Feiglin, who recently visited Australia to address synagogues in Sydney and Melbourne. Ettinger is the grandson of Meir Kahane, a militant American-Israeli rabbi and former Knesset member whose Kach movement was outlawed in Israel in the 1980s. Kahane was assassinated in 1990 but remains a hugely influential figure on Israel's far right. While authorities have not directly tied the arrest of Slonim, Ettinger and Meyer to the attack in Duma, Yaalon made it clear that the government believes there is a link. In an interview with Israel's Channel 10, the defence minister said: 'We wouldn't conduct these administrative arrests if there wasn't any connection to the arson.' Slonim was previously arrested on suspicion of setting fire to a home in the Palestinian town of Khirbet Abu Falah in November 2014. Ettinger is believed to have been involved in the torching of the Church of the Multiplication of the Loaves and Fishes on the shores of the Sea of Galilee on June 17, while Meyer is suspected of an arson attack on Jerusalem's Abbey of the Dormition in May 2014. Through their lawyers, all three deny any involvement in the attacks. The investigation into the Dawabshe murders remains under a gag order in Israel.
"Slonim has been involved in attacks against Palestinians for years, according to court documents seen by Fairfax Media. He is believed to have been part of the extremist group known as the Hilltop Youth, from which security sources believe The Revolt was formed. The Hilltop Youth refuse to acknowledge the authority of the state, the military or their parents. They feel betrayed by the mainstream settler movement which is working in contravention of international law and with the full support of Israel's government - to establish a permanent Jewish presence throughout the occupied West Bank. And in recent years they have been, according to Israeli security sources, the main perpetrators in the so-called 'price tag' attacks against churches, Palestinian civilians and even Israeli military personnel. The 'price tag' is graffiti left at the scene as a message that there is a price to be paid for actions against the settler movement, such as carrying out court-ordered demolitions of settler outposts. At the Dawabshe house, the graffiti in Hebrew reads 'Revenge' and 'long live the Messiah.' A Star of David and a crown are drawn above the phrases.
"The Dawabshe family say they have no idea why they were targeted. But a manual saved on a thumb-drive found on one of Slonim's co-accused by the Shin Bet, Israel's internal security agency, provides some insight into the plans of The Revolt. In their creation of a Jewish kingdom, all non-Jews would be expelled and a third temple would be built on the Temple Mount, where al-Aqsa mosque and the Dome of the Rock stand today, forming Islam's third holiest site. 'The starting point of The Revolt is that the State of Israel has no right to exist, and therefore we are not bound by the rules of the game,' the thumb-drive manifesto reads. It goes on in chilling detail to provide a how-to guide for firebombing Palestinian homes or mosques. 'We prefer to use firebombs with our friends so provide yourself with: a molotov cocktail, preferably a litre-and-a-half, lighter, gloves, masks, metal bar/hammer, bag to carry all those,' the manual reads. 'Come to the village and there look for a home with an open door or open window without bars... Simply breaking a glass door or window... turn on [ignite] the fire bomb and throw it in. In order not leave the possibility of escape, burning tyres can be placed at the entrance of the house.'"

How many people do you suppose actually make it to heaven? A few? About half? Most? Well, if you know the answer, give me a call. I'd like to know the answer as well. Because, truth be told, I don't know. But, I do have an educated guess, which later in this article, I'll share with you.
Jesus was asked the question. And, he punted. Rather than answering the question directly, Jesus did what he so frequently did. Jesus said in effect, "Look, I'm not going to give you a percentage of people who get to heaven, but I'm going to tell you HOW to get there." Jesus then went on to say, "Go through the narrow gate." And, of course, that's a head scratcher. What does going through the narrow gate mean? Well, I think it means we'll get to heaven if we live the way Jesus did. If we live a life of sacrificial love. If we put others first and ourselves last. If we serve rather than being served.
Jesus' plan for getting to heaven is tough. Do we have to do it perfectly? No! We're human. We cannot live perfectly Jesus' plan to get to heaven. But, that's okay. What we have to do to get to heaven is to get at least a passing grade on the Divine Test of Life. And, although even getting a passing grade is difficult, it is well within our ability.
I deal primarily with people who go to church. So, I suspect my conclusion is biased by that fact. But, based on the people I know, I believe a large percentage of them get at least a passing grade. In fact, I believe quite a few of them get B's and even A's. You may not believe that. However, my experience leads me to believe most people give themselves a much lower grade than does Jesus. Most people don't give themselves all the credit they deserve.
Here's a modern parable based on a true story. About eight years ago, I counseled a woman. Let's call her Maggie. Maggie was depressed. She flat out told me she didn't think she'd get to heaven.
I asked Maggie, "Do you love God and your neighbor?" She said, "Of course I do, but probably not well enough to get into heaven." I then asked, "How many kids do you have, Maggie?" She responded, "Four. They're 21, 17, 14, and 12." I pulled out my calculator. "Well, your child have lived approximately 23,000 days. Estimate for me the number of things you do for them each day." Maggie said, "Oh, I don't know. At least ten." I used my calculator again. "Okay, ten acts of love a day for 23,000 days is approximately a quarter of a million acts of love. What do you think? Will Jesus be impressed at the Pearly Gates? I know I would be. Don't short change yourself, Maggie. You're a good woman."
Sometime today, do a similar exercise for yourself. I'll bet you, like Maggie, have been short changing yourself.

It's Halloween. Time to help your kids develop their bed-wetting habits. Time to buy a ton of candy, claim it's for trick-or-treaters, turn off the porch light, and gorge yourself on waxy chocolate. Time to carve the ol' jack-o'-lantern.
One of my favorite Halloween myths is the origin story of the jack-o'-lantern: the trickster legend of Stingy Jack. This folk tale comes from Ireland, which was also a major cultural center for the Celts, who observed the festival of Samhain, which serves as the root from which our modern Halloween sprang.
According to the story, which may be centuries old, a drunkard known as Stingy Jack was infamous throughout Ireland as a liar and a cheat. He was especially despised for his love of trickery, his favorite pastime.
One day, while bored and lounging lazily around Hell, Lucifer happened to overhear some horrible stories about Jack's devious skills, which were apparently even more dastardly than his own. Not to be outdone by a mere drunken Irishman, the Devil decided to find Jack and see if the stories were true.
That night, while stumbling in an alcoholic haze through the darkened Irish hills, Jack came upon a body, lying in the road. Always curious when it comes to inert bodies (dead people don't usually press charges against thieves), Jack shambled over for a closer look.
Turning the body over, Jack was surprised to find the face of Satan staring back at him. Assuming he was there to take Jack to his final reward, he pleaded to be taken to the local pub for one last drink. Seeing the humor in the situation, the Devil conceded.
The rest of the night should probably have its own legend attached, considering the new levels of debauchery discovered by the pair as they drank the pub dry. When the party finally died down and the bill showed up, Jack, who wasn't called "Stingy" for nothing, turned to the Devil and demanded he pay for it.
Apparently, the Devil doesn't always carry cash and was stuck with a massive tab and a head full of booze. Left in a somewhat awkward position, he agreed to Jack's suggestion that he use his devilish powers to turn himself into a silver coin to pay the already pissed off bartender.
Once Satan had transformed into the coin, Jack quickly scooped it up and placed it in his pocket, right next to a crucifix he had been carrying, trapping the poor bastard. To be released from such foul trickery, the Devil agreed to a deal with Jack: in return for his freedom, he wouldn't come after Jack for ten years (or one year, depending on the source).
Sure enough, ten years later, Jack comes across Lucifer again. Complaining about his hunger, he pleads for one last apple before the Devil drags him off to perdition. As you've probably guessed, the Devil shows his stupidity once again, and agrees to climb a nearby tree and pluck an apple for Jack. While in the tree, Jack draws four crosses around its base, trapping Satan once more. This time, he gets the Devil to promise to never take him to Hell in return for his freedom.
Years later, Jack finally has his last drink and keels over. As he walks up to the gates of Heaven, due to his sinful life of trickery and boozing, he is stopped by St. Peter and turned away. Nonplussed, he goes to the gates of Hell and asks for admission there. The Devil, required to honor his agreement with Jack, turns him away, sending an ember along with him to mark him as a spirit.
Jack carves out a turnip, fashioning it into a lantern, and drops the ember inside. From that day on, "Jack of the Lantern's" ghost could be seen roaming the countryside, vainly searching for a place to rest.
To keep Stingy Jack and the other evil spirits known to walk the earth during Samhain at bay, the Irish would carve frightening faces into turnips, potatoes, and beets, place an ember inside of them, and set them on their windowsills and doorsteps. When Irish settlers arrived in America during the 19th century, they adapted their tradition by using pumpkins, a gourd that is native to North America, to carve their jack-o'-lanterns.
Stingy Jack still hasn't shown his ugly mug around these parts, so I guess pumpkins work just as well as turnips.

U.S., Turkish and British officials have been meeting in Ankara to discuss a proposal for Turkey to take over command of the multi-national security force in Afghanistan after Britain. The U.S. special representative to Afghanistan, James Dobbins, described the talks as constructive.
Britain currently leads the peacekeeping contingent known as the International Security Assistance force, or ISAF, but it is eager to hand over command to Turkey when its term expires in April. Turkey has said it is willing to assume command of the force, but it has set a number of conditions that it says need to be met before it does so.
In a telephone conversation with British Prime Minister Tony Blair in late February, Turkey's prime minister, Bulent Ecevit, said his country wants to be assured of the participation of other countries in the ISAF.
Analysts say Mr. Ecevit's demand reflects Ankara's growing concern over Afghanistan's own reported reservations about having the Turks in charge.
Ethnic Pashtuns, who form the majority group in Afghanistan, are said to be opposed to an expanded Turkish military presence because of Ankara's close ties to the Uzbek warlord, Rashid Dostum.
In February, Turkey became the first Muslim majority country to join the 4,500-strong peacekeeping force when it sent 267 troops to handle security patrols and humanitarian aid. The number of Turkish troops is to be raised to 1,000 should Ankara agree to take command of the force.
Turkey volunteered to lead the force in a bid to enhance its international prestige as well as its strategic value in the eyes of its Western allies. But it insists that ISAF can be effective only if its mandate is extended beyond Kabul, in order to keep troublesome Afghan warlords outside the capital from sabotaging its efforts.
Turkish officials are pressing for guarantees of sufficient manpower and equipment from other nations participating in the mission to ensure success under its control.
Turkey is also demanding that foreign governments help with the estimated annual $60 million cost for maintaining its troops in Afghanistan.
