Inspector General report leads to resignation of a major 2010 campaign backer of Kasich
In 2010, former State Representative/GOP Cuyahoga County Chair Jim Trakas served as the co-chairman of Gov. John Kasich's gubernatorial Cuyahoga County campaign. When Kasich was narrowly elected by only a plurality of the vote, he "has said he will not base hiriing [sic] on politics, but rather on qualifications." But as the Cleveland Plain Dealer pointed out at the time, Kasich's decision to appoint Trakas to be the director of the State Board of Cosmetology showed how quickly Kasich would violate his pledge.
Trakas had no private sector or really any legislative experience with cosmetology (well, beyond the fact that I'm sure he's had his hair professionally cut). In fact, Trakas didn't even apply for the job:
He didn't apply for the gig at the cosmetology board, which regulates the beauty industry in Ohio. He applied for the director or deputy director position at the Ohio Lottery and for executive director at the Ohio Turnpike Commission, according to the database of applicants' resumes released Thursday by the Kasich administration.
Now keep in mind we only learned this after the new Kasich Administration was publicly shamed into releasing its database of resumes sent to his transition committee after trying to argue that it was not a public record because Kasich used a "private" corporation to undertake his transition activities.
Kasich solicited resumes through his inaugural website and promised to keep the applications private even as media and other members of the public questioned why the information would not be treated as a public record just like any other resume for a state position.
The governor eventually relented on the advice of his counsel and promised that after he took office the information would be released.
Yesterday, the Inspector General's Office issued a report finding that Trakas, as Director of a State agency, improperly told a business he could make a fine being pursued by the agency "go away," if the business did what he indicated he wanted and not terminate an independent stylist who worked at a salon in Grove City.
Shortly after the report was issued, Trakas announced his resignation. A little over halfway through his first term, Kasich now has his third high profile resignation due to an appointee's improper actions. Kasich's first choice to serve as Superintendent of Public Instruction resigned after an Inspector General report confirmed the very conflict of ethics we had alleged when he testified in favor of legislation mandating testing from a company he was actively seeking employment, a fact he failed to disclose to legislators at the time. Heffner escaped possible criminal prosecution when Franklin County Prosecutor Ron O'Brien, a Republican, declined to pursue a criminal case.
Last November, we reported how Kasich's former head of the Ohio Department of Development was serving as one of Kasich's key economic development advisors while selling access to clients to acquire an economic stake in those businesses if they obtained economic assistance from the State. Leftwich, who had been appointed to the Ohio Third Frontier Advisor Board (one of those "independent" bodies Kasich now claims resolves any conflict of interest his JobsOhio board has on projects it does that benefits board member's companies) specifically steered his client to seek assistance from the very Commission he sat on. The Kasich Administration was forced to terminate Leftwich's contract and he resigned from the Third Frontier Advisory Board.
Yet even after Leftwich resigned, the Kasich Administration refused to divulge exactly what its cancelled contract with Leftwich called on him to do to justify his six-figure salary, declaring the contract itself a "trade secret."
Keep this in mind as Gov. Kasich continues to justifies the absolutely secrecy and lack of public accountability in JobsOhio. These are the stories that we only learned about due to public records. As the Republicans in the General Assembly make more and more of government exempt from public meetings and public records, keep in mind its not just transparency at issue. It's our only disinfectant, our only deterrence to government corruption.
But for the media (and our) persistence to force the Kasich Administration to operate in the sunlight, the public would never have learned why a former major campaign backer of Gov. Kasich in 2010 was forced to resign… from a job he wasn't qualified for, nor wanted in the first place.
Bet the CD will gloss over this or bury it deep inside the back pages…
The PD is claiming Trakas was not an appointee of the Governor but of the board itself. Is this a distinction without a difference?
Distinction without a difference. Note that in 2011, Gov. Kasich had no problem with Trakas being called his appointment up and until he resigned.
Yes, the Board of Cosmetology appoints the Director of the agency. However, who appoints the Board? The Governor. And in this case, the only way the Board got Trakas as a candidate was because that was the name forwarded to it by the newly elected Governor. So, yes, the Board technically, could have refused to appoint Kasich's preferred candidate, but it didn't.
I think this is a case where being technically correct, as the PD has done, actually confuses the issue. While it's technically true that, by law, Trakas wasn't appointed by Kasich, he nonetheless was the only name put forward by the Governor to the Board, a Board in which the Governor appoints all members. So by saying he's not an appointee of Kasich actually misleads the reader in thinking Kasich had less to no role in the appointment than he actually had.
Seriously, what kind of job is it where you get to throw your weight around over hair cutting?
Imagine if Trakas had gotten one of the jobs he had applied for?
Also, obligatory WHERE'S THE DAMN COINGATE REPORT!!
I agree. Trakas could have been even more dangerous at another post. Is Kasich leading by example? Is it possible that these types of resignations happen because people are given the idea that they can do as they please?
I suspect there's still more to this story then what we know now. Why the hell would Trakas intervene on behalf of this "stylist" in the first place? I suspect there was some kind of relationship existing between Trakas and this stylist prior to the intervention…Someone needs to dig into this more…
Can you imagine what the underbelly of JobsOhio looks like with this culture of favoritism and secrecy.? It will blow at some point. That's why Fitgerald has to be RELENTLESS on this issue because it speaks to character, ethics, political favoritism and outright corruption. And, in the end, ineffectiveness when it comes to job creation. By the way, WHERE ARE THE JOBS?
This sounds like the kind of inane parsing Politifact engages un, usually trying to make Democrats sound as dishonest as Republicans in order to appear "balanced." For instance, they gave Sherrod Brown's campaign a "false" for saying Republicans wanted to end Medicare because, they said, despite the fact that they wanted to throw it and out and replace it with vouchers, they were still CALLING it Medicare. They were dealing with angering the righties who always howl "liberal media" because Josh Mandel lies when he's breathing and Sherrod doesn't.
And speaking of our "liberal media," can you imagine the outcry they'd be raising if Ted Strickland had done only ONE of these things? The Plain Dealer here in Cleveland is big on government transparency to a ridiculous degree — when they're talking about county Democrats. They don't believe they should EVER be allowed to have a private conversation even about their pets. I don't see them getting as worked up – or even worked up at all — about the secrecy at RobsOhio.
This is precisely true: "keep in mind its not just transparency at issue. It's our only disinfectant, our only deterrence to government corruption."
It's why you can count on seeing JobsOhioGate in the very near future. Secrecy is temptation.
Extremely well said. And the JobsOhio thorn just won't go away. I suppose if Ohio had good jobs all over the place it might somehow seem justifiable, but we're just holding our heads above water. Job creation under Kasich has been pitiful. So what's left is the question of where is all that money going especailly when school districts and local governments are starving for basic funding. Fitzgerald has to hammer away at this.

text: OK so my cat is 11 years old when I got her she was a stray she was not even a year old. I tried to keep her as a strictly indoor cat as all my others are but she just wouldn't stay and always managed to escape. SO yes I know the dangers of her getting out and I have resigned myself to the fact that she could get injured, sick or killed going out but not much else I can do. Anyways yesterday at about 0730 she went outside we had an emergency phone call and had to pack and leave for Ottawa within the hour. My mom came by to let her in but she was no where.....my mom returned around 5pm and Cinder still had not come back. At 9pm my friend went over to the house to check and checked everywhere and nope nowhere. SO this morning my mom returned and looked and checked my shed, drove around, checked everyroom in my house and still can't find her. If you live in the Ontario Ave area and see a little grey cat please call my mom Linda at 946-3357, I hope a fox has not got her. I will see if I have a pic of her on this laptop and post it.

Air travel can sometimes be a bumpy ride, especially when you've got a bad back and a long haul flight ahead of you. So which seat is the most comfortable, and what happens if you forget something as important as your wallet on the plane? We've got answers to these and other pressing travel questions.
Q: Which airline has the most comfortable business class seats to the U.K.? I have a bad back and first class costs too much but I would like to recline as much as possible. I'll be flying from Los Angeles.
A: As long as the plane you're flying has fully-lie-flat seats as opposed to those that merely recline, you should be in good shape. But even all lie-flat seats are not created equal in business class. All airlines flying nonstop between LA and London now have fully lie-flat seats.
There are basically two types: one type reclines from fully upright to lie-flat while you're in the seat; these seats offer an infinite number of positions between sitting up and lying flat. The other kind requires that you get up from your seat, flip the seat cushion over or down, and then provides a different (usually cushier) surface for sleeping on. Many people find this type more comfortable (one side is an upholstered sitting surface, the other is more like a mattress).
In the first category, American Airlines flies LA to London nonstop on its new Boeing 777-300ER planes, and I find their business class seats to be Goldilocks-approved: not too firm, not too soft (the entertainment system is also excellent); all seats have aisle access, so no climbing over your neighbor.
In the "flip-over" category, Virgin Atlantic has a very comfy business class (it's called Upper Class) that has recently been re-imagined on some routes (not from LA yet, however). All seats have aisle access, which isn't true of all business classes. If I had to choose, I'd go with either Virgin Atlantic or American.
Q: I left my wallet in the seatback pocket of a Delta flight to Amsterdam. I contacted Delta through its lost and found website. Fortunately, the wallet was found in Amsterdam but Delta would not send it to me unless I could give them a FedEx account, which I didn't have and which I wasn't able to sign up for because the FedEx website in Europe wouldn't let me sign up with a U.S.-based address and credit card. Finally, Delta agreed to sent my wallet back to my home address, where it arrived two days after I returned home. My trip was ruined by not having my own credit card and cash (I ended up using my daughter's credit card to get by). What should I have done differently to prevent all this from happening?
A: Oh, so many things. First, I truly sympathize with you because the same thing has happened to me. I put my passport in a seatback pocket on a Virgin Atlantic flight and although I knew it was in there somewhere and I searched for 20 minutes before the flight landed, I couldn't find it to save my life. It must have fallen into a black hole. I had to talk my way into the U.K. without a passport. Not fun. Luckily, Virgin found my passport (in Miami!) and delivered it to my London hotel in time for my return home. And without charge. It would have been nice if Delta had done the same for you.
So what should you have done differently? First, pretend that the seatback pocket isn't there. Never, ever put anything in the seatback pocket. It's filthy for one thing, and for another it's a recipe for disaster.
Second, I can't imagine why you couldn't have accessed the U.S. FedEx website even in Europe (rather than the European website). Or have called FedEx by phone and established an account. Although if you didn't have your credit card, I'm not sure how this would have been possible anyway.
Third, never put all your credit cards and cash in one place. I always put one credit card and some cash in my passport holder along with my passport, and the rest in my wallet.
Fourth, you know the old advertising slogan American Express used? "Never leave home without it?" I never leave home without my Amex card because on more than one occasion I've either lost or misplaced my wallet and Amex either issued me a credit card at one of their offices on the spot, or delivered a replacement card within 24 hours and covered my hotel expenses with just a phone call while waiting for the card to arrive. Credit cards issued by banks typically can't issue replacement cards immediately or they can't overnight them to you in 24 hours.
Q. My family and I (4 people in total) are traveling to London in early April and while planning our itinerary. After reading numerous books and blogs about how to get to central London from Heathrow, I am still confused about my options. Can you please clearly list my options for getting to the city? I did read taking a taxi into is quite expensive, and they charge by person? Hope this is not true.
Also, we are also planning day trips to Oxford and Cambridge and decided to travel by train. I noticed during my search for tickets that the fare to Cambridge is far more expensive than Oxford. Is there any reason why?
A. The cheapest way to get to London from Heathrow is the Tube. It takes about 45-60 minutes. Get an Oyster Card (a stored value card) if you're going to be using the Tube or buses a lot while in London. You'll save money that way. The fast trains to London Paddington Station will be almost as expensive for a party of four as a taxi would be, since you'll still probably have to take the Tube to your final destination unless your hotel is within walking distance of Paddington. I'm not aware that black cabs charge for each passenger. But the Tube will definitely be cheaper than a taxi and almost as fast if there's traffic.
As for Oxford, you might consider a coach instead. It's not quite as fast or comfortable but often cheaper. If you buy an advance purchase non-refundable fare (either train or bus), it's going to be quite cheap and train and coach fares vary depending on time of day and date. I saw London to Cambridge by train for as little as six pounds each way in April and trains to Oxford for 5 pounds 60 pence, so prices can be similar depending on time of day and so on.

AGM and 2017 Reunion (18 August 2017)
We look forward to welcoming Members and guests
to the 2017 Reunion at the end of this month. Although copies
of the draft Agenda for the 2017 Annual General Meeting (to be held
on the Sunday morning, as usual) and minutes of the 2016 Meeting
are included in Newsletter 52, copies will be available for
reference, 'on the day'.
52 (18 August
Delivery of the Summer 2017 Newsletter from our
Printer is pending and copies should be posted next Monday (21
August), hopefully, to reach UK Members before the Reunion.
Obviously, overseas postage may take a little longer. Electronic
copies will be circuated by e-mail in the next 48 hours to Members
who have expressed a preference for this format.
The next edition includes a feature marking the 60th Anniversary of the BBMF, an item on the Pforzheim raid in February 1945 and the story of the 2015 meeeting between two families at Beaulieu-les-Fontaines, in north eastern France, courtesy of Memorial Room stalwart, Allan Holmes. Also included is an extensive obituary to ress at the IBCC site, in addition to the usual Members News, Association updates and Committee messages.
Newsletter 51 (26 May 2017)
Copies of the latest Newsletter were posted this morning and should reach UK Members by end of next week, with Overseas postage likely to take longer. Electronic copies will be circuated by e-mail in the next 48 hours to Members who have expressed a preference for this format. All this is, unfortunately, several weeks later than the Association would have liked, due to reponsible Committee members having a series of unforeseen personal commitments.
The Spring 2017 edition includes an overdue report on the 2015 Danish ceremony for Stan Slater's crew; appreciations of two recently departed Veterans (Cyril 'Mick' Rollins and A C 'Bob' Blackie); an article on The Gramaphone Tour; news on (Canadian) Lancaster KB882, in addition to the usual Members News, Association updates and Committee messages. Insufficient space prevented publication of the planned item on the Frank Holmes commemoration.
2017 Diaries (15 December 2016)
Want to be sure of keeping those important appointments and having other vital information at your fingertips? The answer might lie in purchasing (at least!) one of our sumptuous EWA Diaries, if you have not already done so. These are available at [the very reasonable - Ed] cost of £6 + £1.20 UK postage. For details please see Page 13 of Newsletter 50 OR contact The Editor.
Winter 2016 Newsletter (15 December 2016)
Following printing, all copies of Newsletter 50 have now been despatched and Members will, hopefully, receive them before Christmas. Those who have opted for the (full colour) e-Version should have received theirs, which were sent by e-mail around one week ago.
IBCC Update (13 December 2016)
Works on site continues to progress well. Most of the steel structure for the Chadwick Visitor Centre has been erected and the sub surface laid. Car parks have also been laid out and the Construction Team have made up the time lost during the severe weather that blasted the site in November. -
Appeal for Information (13 December 2016)
Lancaster W4787, flown by Fl Lt John Colin McIntosh Rose DFC, RAAF (always known by his second name), crashed on 21 December 1942, en-route to Munich. The organisers of a ceremony likely to take place in August 2017 at Maubeuge, Northern France, are keen to find out information or contact descendants of the crew. Other members were:- Sgt Frank John Fisher, Flight Engineer; Sgt Gordon Thomas Hawkins, Navigator; Sgt Peter Laird Donald, Air Bomber; Flt Sgt William Edward Ryan, Wireless Operator; Sgt Edward Jack Smith, Mid Upper Gunner and Sgt Frederick Trimmer, Rear Gunner.
The Association has also been contacted by a relative writing a family history, requesting information on Pilot Officer J W Alcorn, from Australia, who was briefly a pilot with 576 Squadron in May and June 1944. The crew were lost without trace on 25 June 1944 on a sortie against the Flers V-Bomb facility .
If you are able to provide any information on either Rose or Alcorn, or anyone in their crews, please contact The Editor.
Newsletter 50
(8 December 2016)
The latest [Landmark(?)] edition of our Newsletter will include a very emotive item on one of the "Twenty Men" who trained with Navigator Don Charlwood (one of the first to complete a 'Tour' at Elsham); the 75th Anniversary of the poem High Flight; updates on the IBCC, BBMF and Lincolnshire's 'other Lanc', in addition to the usual features on Member visits, news of the Memorial Room and book reviews, including one written by our President. -
Elsham Crew Musical Tribute (Nov. 2016)
In 1996, folk singer John McAllister composed a song in memory of his uncle: a 103 Squadron Bomb Aimer, killed on the Nuremberg Raid, after whom he was named. Thus, The Ballad of John Doyle was born. Of the seven crew members only Mid Upper Gunner, Sgt Frank Fealy, from Leeds, survived. Last year,
Frank Fealy's nephew, Michael Barber, contacted John, having picked up on 'The Ballad'. Mike had collated all the family letters written whilst Frank was PoW and trying to establish the fate of his comrades. From these, John found out more about every crew-member and was inspired to write a series of songs for ble each one. These are now recorded on a single album N For Nan: after the aircraft call sign. Copies are available in CD format, with 50% of the £10 price going to the Association, from our Secretary.
2016 Reunion Weekend (1 September 2016)
The 35th Annual Reunion to take place over consecutive years was a success and provided a memorable August Bank Holiday Weekend for those present. Events started with the traditional Saturday Dinner, preceded by the lighting of candles and one minute's silence in remembrance of those who 'failed to return' during WWII and others no longer with us. Despite slightly lower numbers than usual, a most convivial evening was had by all, judging by the buzz of conversation. One observer reckoned that this was not at a noticeably lower level than preceding years.
In addition to the formal Agenda items, Sunday morning saw the Annual General Meeting generate a wide range of opinions and suggestions on the future of the Association. These will be considered by an augmented Committee and will, hopefully, result in a series of structured proposals on our future direction being put to the Membership. Former Vice-Chair Bob Whymark's promotion to Chair was approved, with David Waldron voted as new Treasurer along with new incumbent, Paul Mellor, to the vacant Vice-Chair role. It was agreed that President, Gordon Mellor, Secretary, Jennie MacKay, and Editor, Keith Macrae, would continue to serve for a further year.
After a buffet lunch, everyone made their way to the Memorial Garden for a service of remembrance, conducted by Canon Peter Hall, with music provided by the Market Rasen Band. This was followed by a flypast from one of the BBMF Spitfires - a substitution for the unserviceable Avro Lancaster, which seems to be beset by yet more problems.
To end the weekend, musical entertainment was provided at our Sunday Supper by professional vocalist, Jayne Darling (from Get Happy Entertainment), who performed a series of 1920s/ 30s swing and big band 'standards' before concluding with a medley of wartime songs. Those present were suitably impressed with one of the best singers we have had the pleasure of booking. Catering throughout the weekend was provided by Chris Sharpe and her team from Your Chef Ltd.
Sincere thanks are also due to the ATC Cadets from 866 (Immingham) Squadron and all those who helped decorate the Village Hall, lent equipment, assisted with washing up and other tasks, including furniture moving. As always, none of this would have happened without the tireless organisation of our Secretary.
International Bomber Command Centre (30 August 2016)
In June, IBCC Director, Nicky Barr, thanked the Association for its continuing support. To date, this has mainly been in the form of publicity via the Newsletter and other means. Recently the Association made a donation to the IBCC, as proposed and agreed at the 2015 AGM. So there is something tangible to show for this, an engraved paving stone in the Ribbon of Remembrance, outside the Chadwick (Visitor) Centre, has been purchased. The stone will commemorate all who were based at Elsham Wolds and act as a reminder of this to future generations. After much deliberation by the Committee, the wording will be: -
Nicky Barr also confirmed that, "Construction is due to start in early July and, with a 42 week works programme, we are on course to open the centre at the end of June next year."

International Bomber
Command Centre
(14 August
This admirable project is now making amazingly good progress and the web site they have produced (see below) is quite excellent.
Work on the recently redesigned Chadwick Visitor Centre commenced at site on 16 March 2015 and is progressing well, despite further Roman remains being found slightly later. The Memorial Spire, which will be surrounded by panels recording the names of all 25, 611 airmen who failed to return to their Lincolnshire bases, was delivered to site on two low loaders accompanied by a 72 tonne crane on the morning of Sunday 10 May. The sections were lifted into place throughout the day, so by that evening the Spire was visible from across the area. Work is continuing on finishing the Memorial (spot welding for example) and on the installation of the paving and founding of the Memorial Walls.
The engraved walls will be completed for
installation by the end of September, prior to the official
Unveiling Ceremony on the 2nd October. Any Members
who have expressed an interest in attending the inauguration should
have received Invitations by now. Any difficulties should be
advised by contacting The Editor, who is co-ordinating applications
on behalf of the Association.
Please note that the site is not
open for public access.

Quick Reference
Reductions in government spending. These may refer to changes in actual government spending which have already taken place, or, more usually, to announcements of planned reductions. Cuts in actual spending may be due to the application of unchanged spending rules in changing circumstances: for example, a reduction in unemployment benefits when employment rises during a boom. They may alternatively be due to a change in policy about spending, for example increasing the stringency of tests for eligibility for benefits. Similarly, announced plans to cut spending may be in anticipation of a reduction in the need for it, or an indication of changes in policy. In an inflationary economy, government spending has to rise in money terms if it is to stay constant in real terms; 'cuts' often take the form of money increases smaller than anticipated increases in costs.

The best ways to dry hydrangea flowers are to use the water method or to hang them upside down. While microwaving and silica gel are two other common methods, they involve more elaborate processes while failing to yield any significant advantages.Continue Reading
No matter which method is used, the best way to start is to cut each flower, leaving a stem between 12 and 18 inches in length. The precise length does not matter; the important factor is the ease of handling. After cutting the flowers, the next step is to take all of the leaves off the stems.
Using the water method involves setting the hydrangeas into a vase with enough fresh water to cover at least the bottom half of the stems. Moving the vase into a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight starts the drying process. The water slowly evaporates from the vase, and the hydrangeas simply dry naturally. When the water is gone, the hydrangeas should feel dry.
The hanging method involves turning the blossoms upside down and hanging them by their stems. The problem with this method is that the blossoms end up being a bit more brittle than those dried in water. No matter what method is used, the color should stay consistent for about a year before beginning to fade.Learn more about Flower Arranging

A Republican bill in Congress intended to boost jobs and tax revenue through expanded offshore oil drilling, approval of the Keystone XL pipeline and other measures also would allow Drakes Bay Oyster Co. to stay in business, saving 30 jobs on the Marin County coast.
Sen. David Vitter, R-La., who introduced the legislation in the Senate, said in a written statement that it would create 2 million jobs and generate more than $2 trillion in federal taxes over the next 30 years by "increasing access to our domestic resources."
Vitter's measure would open closed areas of the continental shelf to oil and gas leasing, allow energy development in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and expedite approval of the $7 billion pipeline carrying Canadian heavy crude oil to Gulf Coast refineries.
The final section of the bill, titled the Energy Production and Project Delivery Act of 2013, would grant the oyster company in the Point Reyes National Seashore a permit for up to 20 years.
It also says that the 2,500-acre estero "shall not be converted to a designated wilderness," apparently reversing the intent established by Congress in 1976.
Rep. Jared Huffman, D-San Rafael, whose district includes Point Reyes, called the bill "an environmental wrecking ball."
Huffman, who sits on the House Natural Resources Committee, noted that the bill also would prohibit California from limiting Central Valley Project water deliveries based on the Endangered Species Act.
Huffman said he found it "pretty surprising" that the oyster company's permit was included in a bill focused on much larger issues.
Kevin Lunny, operator of the embattled oyster farm on Drakes Estero, said Thursday that he did not ask for and was not advised of the bill's reference to his permit, a source of controversy for years in Marin County.
"It's what members of Congress do, I guess," Lunny said. "We didn't know it was coming."
Lunny is fighting in federal court a National Park Service order to shut down his business, which harvests $1.5 million worth of oysters a year from the estero.
The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has agreed to hear his appeal the week of May 13.
His case is being handled without charge by a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit, Cause of Action, whose executive director previously worked for a charitable foundation run by one of the billionaire Koch brothers, known for their conservative politics.
Legal experts say the oyster farm case could set a precedent that promotes commercial use of national parks and wilderness areas throughout the western United States.
Huffman, a former environmental attorney, said that the Vitter bill and its backers are "bad company for Kevin and his supporters to keep." Co-sponsored by 22 other Republican senators, Vitter's bill is backed by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Western Business Roundtable, Americans for Limited Government and Americans for Prosperity.
"The whole bill is terrible," said Amy Trainer, executive director of the Environmental Action Committee of West Marin, which has fought to remove the oyster farm from the Pacific Ocean estuary that is abundant in wildlife, including a harbor seal colony.
Trainer and Huffman said the bill might win approval in the Republican-controlled House but not the Senate. Their concern is that some provisions might be separately tacked onto "must-pass" pieces of legislation.

Business should scarcely be left in the hands of a group of Motherwell based miscreants. Even less so when it comes to the budget. The LaFontaines – quintessential outfit affiliating the hardened imagery of a pleasant Beastie Boys meet resounding Twin Atlantic refrains – are fortunate enough to be at the augmenting phase of their national acceptance that they have been afforded these pleasures. Cue an imprudent decision to have the group's best single name adorn a baseball cap; jailhouse escapades in the heart of Marrakech while filming said video; visiting Manchester on a wet Tuesday night. But under the laddish bravado that often consumed the intimate crowd at Manchester's Ruby Lounge, burgeoning excitement that this Scottish quartet really are beginning to create music befit of their influences blossomed.
Sustained at The LaFontaines' nub is an irrefutable craving to generate a sound that subsumes modern truths with rollicking, feisty grooves. The manner upon which the ensemble reel off hardened scores of these archetypal mid-00s alternative refrains remains their underlying appeal; countered only by the breakneck rhymes of their demanding frontman Kerr Okan. Okan's vocals – brash within their delivery, it countered the affable, natural persona of a man unifying the room's welcoming ambiance – dueled regularly throughout with the pop smart tones of bassist John Gerard.
'Under the Storm' – centring itself around the crunching guitar melodies, the fizzing electricity that festered with the upbeat, jerking beats carried – and 'Light up the Background' – a model fusion of rap-rock that was constantly bitten by the knee-jerking intensities of a pulsating indie track – allowed the two vocalists room to colour their own melodies with their juxtaposing intuition. Much like when garage rapper Mike Skinner teamed up with The Music's Rob Harvey, the union of delicate main melody hooks brazenly adjusting to the grit of the wordsmith, made for compulsive listening.
Behind the vocals sat the remainder of The LaFontaines. Their continual use of 'A.M' era Arctic Monkeys guitar riffs meet Raptures guitar bursts regularly emerged; 'Pon De Fonts' – the synchronized warped murmurs of electronics opening, the blinking sample that evolved within the chorus became as instantly significant to the hook as the repressed energy of the drums – a primary example of this fusion. Latest single 'Junior Dragon' explored this marriage further; the tribal like vocals, filthy bass, elegant words – it represented a savage track welcomed at any contemporary hipster hideout.
"It was like an episode of fucking Homeland," was Kerr's reflection of the group's time in Morocco before 'King' reflected on The LaFontaines homely roots as spat verses collided with the blinking lights and energy torn breaks. 'All She Knows' removed itself from the shaded chaos into realms occupied by Amber Run. 'Castles' displayed their grasp of Biffy Clyro meets Kids in Glass Houses severity of stadium-like choruses.
Everyone makes bad decisions. Hungry FIFA Voting Committee members. Sad Britain's Got Talent viewers. The South of England. Kerr. Manchester. Those who opted against the wet Tuesday conditions, unlucky. With The LaFontaines inaugural album out now, chances are you've missed your chance to change the way your summer soundtrack will sound.

We get an unimaginable number of messages about our bodies being wrong, or flawed. There's the media, of course…
…but there's also getting dressed in the morning. Ready-to-wear clothes (and hand-knit sweater patterns, too) are created for table of numbers I like to call "Miss Average". There's nothing wrong with that, necessarily; automatic and mass production of clothing make it necessary. But there's one big down side, and that's that anyone who isn't exactly like Miss Average (which means everyone) is told, every day, by their clothing, that their body is wrong.
I say this, in my classes, and it seems to resonate? But this Fashion Friday I want to give you a stark visual example.
Here's what happens when I get dressed in the morning, if I'm not careful.
I need to be clear here: This is a regular, long-sleeved sweater, and mid-rise, regular-length pants. Both in "my size". This is what happens if I don't tug them into place. The sweater, though it looks like I might be raising it for effect? Goes this way when I breathe. These clothes tell me that my arms are too long. That my legs are too short. That my torso is too long. I wore clothes like them nearly every day for far, far too long.
What are your clothes telling you?
Whatever they're telling you, I say: There's nothing wrong with your body. The clothes are defective.
Here's me again, in a store bought tunic-length top and capri jeans. In the same size as the clothes above.
This outfit might be more plain than I'd typically wear, most days. But at least things fit, you know?
Custom-made clothing makes you feel amazing. And not just because of the skill required to craft it. It sends a message, every time you move without tugging, that your body is right. That your body deserves clothing that honors it. That respects it. That tells it it's beautiful. I urge you to wear clothes that are truly worthy of you.
Because you're perfect, just as you are.

The clothes might maketh the man, but they also make an enormous amount of waste. We buy an expensive outfit, and usually it only gets worn a few times a year and hangs in the closet the rest of the time, representing a substantial waste of money and resources.
But pop songstress Lily Allen is apparently getting on board the shift to services by establishing a boutique in London where customers can rent items from her clothing line Lucy In Disguise, People magazine reports. Read more.

What Went Wrong: Western Impact and Middle Eastern Response
by Bernard Lewis
Adina writes e.g.:
"Contemporary Sharia systems in places like Iran and Afghanistan are
often mocked for being medieval and backward, legislating repression of
women and brutal corporal punshment (no, I'm not in favor of the Texas
death penalty, either). But there is no empirical reason that a system
of Muslim jurisprudence needs to be backward. After all, European laws
once featured trial by ordeal, and prevented women from owning property.
A living tradition of Muslim law might be able to adapt to current
economic and social conditions. How did the Sharia change from a system
that had once reflected the standards of justice of its time to one that
insisted on avoiding change?"
The Mapmakers
by John Noble Wilford
This book is of particular interest to me because of my own book,
Stars Stones and Scholars, which claims that the megaliths are remnants of ancient surveys, i.e. that they are Stone Age geodetic mapping systems triangulated by means of the astronomy, using stars much as in ocean navigation.
Adina writes, inter alia:
"The Mapmakers purports to be world history, but it has a strong European focus. Wilford does include few pages about sophisticated early mapmaking practices in China. But he almost completely ignores Muslim and Indian geography. The book contains just one brief reference to ibn Khaldun, the medieval Muslim traveler and geographer, and nothing on Al Idrisi, who was commissioned by Roger II, the Christian king of Sicily, to update navigational records, and created the famous early atlas called "The Book of Roger." The Mapmakers briefly mentions that one Francis Wilford, a member of India Survey, was a student of ancient Hindu geography. Given early Indian sophistication in astronomy, math, and government administration, one wonders what earlier sources of geographic knowledge he drew on. According to an Indian friend of mine, many early maps were destroyed to keep them out of the hands of British colonial rulers.
Wilford writes about the dire level of geographic ignorance of Medieval Europeans, whose maps routinely placed Paradise at the Eastern border of China, without noting that during the same period, there was a longstanding, ongoing system of travel and trade from Arabia through India and Southeast Asia to China (see books by Abu Lughod and KN Chaudhuri, among others), conducted by Arabs, Jews, Indians, and sometimes Chinese. I don't know what sorts of maps were used by these travelling merchants, but they must have used something, because they got from place to place regularly and routinely."

Rum Cay measures a mere 30 square miles, has no Government airport or airline service, is sundered from nearest neighbors by 20 miles of ocean, and is home to less than 100 who live in its one settlement Port Nelson. In the 1700s and 1800s, there was a colony that boasted prosperous farms and orchards, fat livestock, and a significant industry shipping a quarter-million tons of salt in its 1852 peak year. The miniature land mass also was a vital "last chance" layover for seamen to stock up on fresh foods, water and supplies before heading eastward across the Atlantic.

Aerated Pond
An aerated pond is a large, mixed aerobic reactor. Mechanical aerators provide oxygen and keep the aerobic organisms suspended and mixed with water to achieve a high rate of organic degradation.
Increased mixing and aeration from the mechanical units means that the ponds can be deeper and tolerate much higher organic loads than a maturation pond (see waste stabilisation ponds). The increased aeration allows for increased degradation and increased pathogen removal. As well, because oxygen is introduced by the mechanical units and not by light-driven photosynthesis, the ponds can function in more northern climates.
Design Considerations
Influent should be screened and pre-treated to remove garbage and coarse particles that could interfere with the aerators. Because the aeration units mix the pond, a subsequent settling tank is required to separate the effluent from the solids.
The pond should be built to a depth of 2 to 5 m and should have a detention time of 3 to 20 days, depending on the treatment target.
To prevent leaching, the pond should have a liner. This can be made from clay, asphalt, compacted earth, or any other impervious material. A protective berm should be built around the pond, using the fill that is excavated, to protect it from runoff and erosion.
A mechanically aerated pond can efficiently handle concentrated influent and significantly reduce pathogen levels. It is especially important that electricity service is uninterrupted and that replacement parts are available to prevent extended downtimes that may cause the pond to turn anaerobic.
Aerated ponds can be used in both rural and peri-urban environments. They are most appropriate for regions with large areas of inexpensive land located away from homes and businesses. Aerated lagoons can function in a larger range of climates than Waste Stabilization Ponds and the area requirement is smaller compared to a maturation pond.
Health Aspects/Acceptance
The pond is a large expanse of pathogenic wastewater; care must be taken to ensure that no one comes in contact with or goes into the water. The aeration units can be dangerous to humans and animals. Fences, signage, or other measures should be taken to prevent entry into the area.
Operation and Maintenance
Permanent, skilled staff is required to maintain and repair aeration machinery and the pond must be desludged every 2 to 5 years.
Care should be taken to ensure that the pond is not used as a garbage dump, especially considering the damage that could result to the aeration equipment.

Stabilization ponds are a very promising sustainable centralized wastewater treatment option for West Africa due to the favourable climate. Pilot studies could demonstrate their performance in the local context; however none of the full-scale applications works. Besides the poor economic situation and little political support, it is also the lack of training and research that contributes to this situation. This work presents the establishment of an international research collaboration network and main technical recommendations based on an exhaustive assessment on the state-of-the-art of stabilization ponds in the West-African context.

The European Scrutiny Committee has made further
progress in the matter referred to it and has agreed to the following
1.1 Each year, the Fisheries Council agrees
the Total Allowable Catches (TACs) for particular fish stocks
in the following calendar year, based on advice from the Advisory
Committee on Fisheries Management (ACFM) of the International
Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), and of the Commission's
Scientific and Technical Committee for Fisheries. In those cases
where particular fisheries are jointly managed with third countries,
the Council agrees the Community share following negotiations
with the countries concerned; and, once the relevant TACs for
the Community as a whole have been decided or negotiated, the
Fisheries Council allocates the catch between Member States in
the form of national quotas according to a predetermined key.
At the same time, the conditions under which the quotas may be
fished are specified.
The current proposal
1.2 As is now usual with this set of proposals,
we do not yet have an official text, and have had to rely substantially
on the Explanatory Memorandum dated 5 December submitted by the
Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Commons) at the Department
for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Mr Elliot Morley). This
deals with:
1.3 The Minister has also told us that the
proposal covers other measures, including the carrying forward
or revising of a number of technical conservation measures; an
Annex revising the list of stocks subject to end-year flexibility
arrangements on the banking and borrowing of quotas, as well as
penalties for exceeding quotas under Council Regulation (EC) No.
847/96; and the maintenance of the special measures for North
Sea herring introduced in 1996.
TACs and national quota allocations for
fish stocks in Community waters
1.4 As before, these allocations will form
the corner-stone of the opportunities available to Community fishermen
in the coming 12 months, and the table in Annex I below shows,
for the major stocks of interest to the UK in the North Sea, West
of Scotland, Channel and Irish Sea fisheries, the proposed TACs
for 2002, together with the corresponding ICES recommendations.
It also sets out, by way of comparison, the figures agreed for
1999, 2000 and 2001, and the percentage changes that would arise
as between 2001 and 2002 if the Commission's proposals were adopted
as they stand.
1.5 The Minister points out that the ICES
advice is based on the precautionary approach, aimed at keeping
stocks well above levels at which they are in danger of collapse,
and, where necessary, at rebuilding them to enable sustainable
fisheries in future. He adds that, as in previous years, this
leads to significant cuts being recommended, since some stocks
are considered to be either outside safe biological limits, or
as being fished at excessively high levels. Also, for a number
of stocks, ICES recommends the introduction or extension of recovery
plans, along with the lowest possible level of catches.
1.6 He also points out that, although the
proposals generally follow the ICES advice, the Commission has
developed what it calls a complementary philosophy, including
the following elements:
1.7 The Minister then goes on to analyse
in more detail the effect of the proposals in different areas.
North Sea
1.8 The UK has the greatest interest in
the major North Sea stocks, including a number (cod, plaice, haddock,
whiting, saithe, mackerel, blue whiting and herring) managed jointly
with Norway. Negotiations on these are continuing and are expected
to be completed on 14 December; in the meantime, no quota allocations
have been made, and the proposal simply sets out the ICES recommendations
for these stocks. These involve the introduction of a recovery
plan and the lowest level of catches for cod, a 84% increase in
TAC for haddock (which nevertheless equates to a 24% reduction
in effort), a 52% increase in TAC for whiting (again, representing
a cut in effort), a virtual rollover for plaice, an increase of
55% for saithe, a rollover for herring and a 4% increase for mackerel
stocks (including those in western waters). Negotiations on blue
whiting where the ICES advice is for a complete closure
of the fishery unless there is agreement on a recovery plan and
a restrictive TAC - take place in an international context. The
Minister says that previous negotiations with Norway suggest that
the TAC for cod will be more or less the same as in 2001, and
that the advice will be followed closely for other stocks.
1.9 For other North Sea stocks, which are
not jointly managed with Norway, the Commission is proposing a
range of cuts, including stocks associated with those subject
to recovery plans, often despite the lack of any assessment from
ICES (where it has been the usual practice to suggest a rollover).
The proposed cuts are of different values, which the Minister
considers may reflect relative levels of association and quota
uptake, and range from 12.5% for turbot and brill to 23.4% for
northern prawn, whilst other stocks covered include dab and flounder,
lemon sole and witch, skate and rays, and spurdog (though not
megrim, for which the Commission proposes a rollover). For nephrops,
ICES has recommended a slight increase on 2001 levels, but, due
to the supposed association with cod, the Commission proposes
a 22% cut in the TAC, in addition to the 10% cut introduced for
2001. It proposes a rollover for hake, and cuts of 18% for sandeels,
25% for sole, and 5% for sprat, in line with the Commission's
philosophy and with scientific advice (except for sandeels, where
ICES has made no specific recommendation). In the case of horse
mackerel, the Commission proposes a mere 3% cut, as against a
recommended 65%.
West of Scotland
1.10 The West of Scotland demersal stocks
remain severely depleted, and ICES recommends the lowest possible
level of catches for hake and cod. The Commission has accordingly
proposed a rollover for hake and a 25% TAC increase for cod (equivalent
to an effort cut of 25%). It also proposes a small cut for haddock,
as opposed to the 10% increase recommended by ICES, whereas for
whiting it proposes a cut of only 13%, compared with the 50% recommended
by ICES. The Commission also proposes a 40% cut for anglerfish
(in line with its philosophy and broad scientific advice), a 25%
cut for megrim (despite scientific advice for a rollover) and
for nephrops (because of its association with cod), and a 20%
cut for pollack. For two stocks not assessed by ICES, the Commission
proposes a 25% increase for plaice, and a 10% cut for sole. In
the case of horse mackerel, it has reduced the 59% cut recommended
by ICES to one of around 40%.
Irish Sea
1.11 On cod, for which a recovery programme
was first introduced in 2000, ICES has again recommended the lowest
possible level of catches. The Commission is proposing a 10% increase
in TAC, though the Minister says this implies a further big cut
in effort. The ICES advice is also for the lowest possible catch
levels for whiting, where the Commission is proposing a 28% cut
in the TAC, equivalent to a 75% cut in effort. It is proposing
a 56% cut in the haddock TAC in line with the scientific advice.
On plaice and sole, the Commission proposes TACs based on 25%
cuts in fishing effort, and a small cut for herring. A 25% cut
is proposed for the nephrops TAC, on top of the 10% cut introduced
in 2001, to reflect its apparent link with cod.
Western waters
1.12 The Commission is proposing a 30% cut
in the cod TAC in the Western approaches (slightly more than that
recommended by ICES), and a 25% cut for haddock (slightly less
than ICES recommends). For whiting, it proposes a 5% cut, as compared
with the 53% increase advocated by ICES. However, the Commission
reflects the scientific advice in recommending cuts of 2% and
11% for Celtic Sea sole and plaice, and 22% and 29% for megrim
and anglerfish. In the case of pollack it proposes a 20% cut without
any assessment, whilst for herring it follows the ICES advice
of 6,000 tonnes for the first half of 2002, with another TAC to
be decided in June 2002 for the end of the year. Other proposals
include a 6% increase for plaice in the English Channel, a 13%
increase for Eastern Channel sole, a 40% cut for Western Channel
sole, and a rollover for sprat.
UK quotas in Third Country and international
1.13 The Community has a large number of
fisheries agreements with Third Countries, and, in many such cases,
the UK has little or no direct interest. However, four agreements
those with Norway, the Faroe Islands, Greenland, and Iceland
do provide catching opportunities for UK fishermen, and
the UK also has quotas in waters regulated by the North East Atlantic
Fisheries Commission (NEAFC) and the North West Atlantic Fisheries
Organisation (NAFO).
1.14 These quotas, which are important for
the UK distant water fleet, are summarised in the table at Annex
II (though the quotas in Norwegian and Faroese waters are still
subject to agreement on a possible TAC and allocation key for
blue whiting). There is no change in quotas in Icelandic waters;
a rollover in the small NEAFC redfish quota; and a continuing
moratorium on the NAFO cod stocks of interest to the UK. Also,
a new Protocol was agreed in September 2000 between the Community
and Greenland, which is to run until the end of 2006, and which
in effect continues most of the amounts in the previous Protocol.
However, current fishing opportunities for cod and redfish are
reduced to reflect actual stock availability.
Third Country quotas in Community waters
1.15 Access by Norwegian and Faroese vessels
to certain quotas in the Community zone of the North Sea and in
Western waters will also be subject to the blue whiting negotiations.
In addition, access will be provided for Faroese, Icelandic and
Norwegian vessels to quotas held by the Community in Greenland
waters. According to the Minister, these opportunities are provided
as part of a balanced exchange of quotas between the Community
and the countries concerned, and the quotas for 2002, as compared
with 2001, are set out in the table at Annex III.
1.16 The proposals also implement reciprocal
fisheries access arrangements agreed between the Community and
the Baltic States (Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania), Poland and
Russia. The UK has no quotas under these arrangements, which are
restricted to the Baltic Sea.
Other species
1.17 As part of the Commission's obligations
as a contracting party to the International Commission for the
Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT), rollover quotas have been
set for bluefin tuna, albacore tuna and swordfish, and, although
the UK does not have a directed fishery for bluefin tuna or swordfish,
it takes limited quantities in other Atlantic fisheries and thus
benefits from small amounts of unallocated quota enabling it to
continue to land by-catches. The UK does however have a very small
amount of the quota for albacore tuna.
1.18 In addition, TACs and quotas are being
set by the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine
Living Resources (CCAMLR) covering a range of species, such as
krill. There is no mainland UK interest in these.
The Government's view
1.19 The Minister says that many of the
most severe implications of the Commission philosophy outlined
in paragraph 1.6 above affect stocks of interest to the UK, and
that some of these also appear to be "highly inconsistent".
He also points out that, as in previous years, no adjustment has
been made for national quota allocations to take account of the
Hague Preference, which provides a safety net for quotas of certain
species for the Republic of Ireland and the UK.
1.20 The Minister says that the Government's
overall approach will be to negotiate the best possible fishing
opportunities for UK fishermen consistent with the scientific
advice and the need to sustain stocks for the future. He adds
that the Government accepts that there is a real need to assist
the recovery of those stocks which are particularly depleted,
but that it normally seeks wherever possible to avoid excessive
year-on-year changes in TACs so that there is no unnecessary dislocation
in the fishing industry. He suggests that this may mean favouring
phased reductions in TACs over two years rather than very heavy
single-year cuts.
1.21 The Minister also says that the Government
has supported the establishment of stock recovery plans as necessary,
and that this year, in addition to heavily restricted TACs, such
plans have been in place for cod in the Irish Sea, North Sea and
West of Scotland. He considers that these need further development
in consultation with the industry, and he points out that a subsequent
Commission proposal on a framework to cover all recovery programmes
is expected in the New Year.
1.22 Each year, the negotiations on total
allowable catches and quotas highlight the potential conflict
between the need to protect the long-term future of the fish stocks
concerned and the understandable wish of fishermen to maximise
their catching opportunities in the following 12 months. It is
clear that these proposals are no exception to this general rule,
and it should be remembered that, in many cases, the cuts proposed
follow cuts of varying severity in previous years. Consequently,
although the Government will need to decide precisely how to strike
a balance between these considerations as they affect the recommendations
for particular stocks, it seems clear that the impact on a number
of those of importance to the UK fleet will be significant.
1.23 Whatever the outcome in the Council,
the Regulation eventually adopted will largely determine the opportunities
available to the UK fishing fleet during 2002. These proposals
do, therefore, raise issues of considerable political importance,
and should be debated before any decisions are taken. Traditionally,
that debate has taken place on the Floor of the House, as befits
the importance of the subject. However, we recognise that it would
be difficult at this late stage to arrange this before the meeting
of the Fisheries Council on 17 December, and that a debate on
fisheries conservation was held on the Floor on 6 December. Consequently,
we think it would be reasonable on this occasion for the debate
we are recommending to take place in European Standing Committee
* to end June 2002
p.m. to be confirmed
TACs are defined in terms of areas designated by
ICES. Those of most immediate relevance to the UK correspond roughly
to the following geographical regions:
(1) Stocks under moratoria due to poor biological

If you live in Maricopa County or are a trial watcher you have heard of Richard Chrisman.
He was a police officer with the city of Phoenix who responded to a domestic violence call and ended up killing the suspect. He was charged by the Maricopa County Attorney's Office with second-degree murder, aggravated assault and animal cruelty (he shot a dog as well).
During the first trial, the jury returned a guilty verdict on the aggravated assault charge but hung on the second-degree murder and animal cruelty charge. After the jury hung on the two counts, the prosecutor had a decision to make. Juan Martinez, and his boss Bill Montgomery, could have gone forward with a retrial of the two counts, offer a plea agreement or dismissed the charges. It appeared that the prosecutor would be going forward with the retrial.
However, Wednesday we learned that the parties had reached an agreement and Chrisman pleaded guilty to manslaughter, a Class 2 felony. The plea agreement set the possible sentence range between seven to 14 years, meaning that he will be sentenced to at least seven years in prison but no more than 14 years. Had he been found guilty of second-degree murder, he would have been facing more than 14 years.
Once he is sentenced, he will be transferred to the Arizona Department of Corrections and will likely be placed into a type of "protected" custody or population.
Since the plea agreement contains a sentence range, it will be up to Judge Warren Granville on Dec. 20 to decide what Chrisman's fate will be. During the sentencing, each side can present an argument as to why he should be sentenced on the higher end or on the lower end. Martinez can call the mother of the deceased to speak to Granville or any others he believes support his position. In contrast, the defense can call character witnesses to support Chrisman. I find it likely that Chrisman will himself speak to the judge and beg for leniency.
The plea does not surprise me in that I believe it is an appropriate compromise in light of the circumstances of the killing and the resulting hung jury. It saves the taxpayers' funds, man hours and, most importantly, it gives closure to the families of the victim and Chrisman.

I know that theoretically it should not (apart from compaction issues), but maybe somebody has experience showing otherwise: My test cluster now has 250GB of data and will have 1.5TB in its reincarnation. If all these data is in a single CF -- will it cause read or write performance problems? Should I "shard" it? One advantage of splitting the data would be reducing the impact of compaction and repairs (or so I naively assume).
