The "Jaws" of the aquarium set - Flazey, the grouper that ate $5,000 worth of its tankmates in an Illinois pet shop - will be dining out from now on.
Terry Haley, the aquarium store owner from Lansing, Ill., who finally wearied of the grouper's taste for expensive tropical fish, released his prize glutton on Monday in the ocean off Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
Flazey - short for "fat and lazy" - was a foot long and weighed 3 pounds when Haley bought it from a Fort Lauderdale aquarium supplier. But after 1 1/2 years of eating its way through the 1,100-gallon tank in Haley's shop, the fish measures 3 1/2 feet and weighs 35 pounds.
The grouper attracted nationwide attention in May when Haley grumbled about it eating dozens of expensive fish: a clown trigger fish worth $600, two imperator angels worth $500, two queen angels worth $150 each, one blue racer worth $50, and 50 yellow tangs worth $20 each. It even tried to eat a 2-foot shark.
In case it's been preying on your mind, FYI is happy to report that Adolf Hitler's yacht has now been sunk for good.
The 85-foot wooden yacht Ostwind, Der Fuhrer's personal pleasure craft, was originally scuttled on June 4 in the ocean just off Miami Beach, Fla. The sinking was part of observances of the 50th anniversary of the infamous "Voyage of the Damned" - the ill-fated voyage of more than 900 Jewish refugees seeking asylum from Nazism. Their ship was refused entry into the United States (which had not yet entered World War II), and most of the refugees had to return to Europe and eventually became victims of the Holocaust.
The sinking had a practical purpose - the yacht was supposed to become part of an artificial reef system. But somebody goofed, and the boat was scuttled in water only 20 feet deep.
Last week, the Ostwind was raised again, then sunk again in its proper destination, 275 feet down.
"In the struggle against evil, every once in a while it sticks up its head again and we have to push it right back down," Rabbi Barry Konovitch, of Miami Beach's Cuban-Hebrew Congregation, said aboard an observer vessel. "This time, we pushed it down forever."
We vacationed at the shore last year, and the beach was soooo dirty ...
How dirty was it?
It was so dirty, the thousands of volunteers who combed 3,500 miles of the nation's beaches last fall picked up more than 1,000 tons of junk. That's nearly 600 pounds for every mile of beach.
Bottle caps alone totaled 42,671, nothing compared to the 78,025 plastic trash bags, or the 65,819 pieces of jagged glass.
And one can't forget the bedsprings, mattresses, even a kitchen sink or two - or the 11 bottles containing notes from far-off places. And finally, the 1,718 plastic syringes and other medical wastes, not to mention the set of dentures.
The Center for Marine Conservation, a private conservation group, talked about the volunteer cleanup effort in a report last week titled "Trash on America's Beaches: A National Assessment."
Covering what amounted to one-fourth of the nation's beachfront, the 47,000 volunteers found and recorded 1,973,995 pieces of debris from discarded fishing lines to unwanted underwear. Despite the uproar about medical wastes, only a small percentage of the items were reported in that category.
Eleven volunteers found bottles with messages inside, including one on a Connecticut beach that said it had been dumped into the water in Europe.
And the volunteers at times uncovered not trash, but cash - including a $100 bill on a Texas beach and a diamond and amethyst necklace in Florida, according to the report.
Last week's answer: Even before the English landed at Jamestown in 1607, the Spanish attempted to settle here. In 1570, a party of Jesuit missionaries sailed up the James River, landed at College Creek, crossed the Peninsula near the future site of Williamsburg and eventually settled on the banks of the York River near Indian Field Creek, where they built a hut and a chapel. They weren't welcomed in the neighborhood, though; six months later, the local Indians massacred them.
This week's question: On Tuesday, we celebrated the "homecoming" of the Newport News-built submarine USS Newport News. When did the local shipyard build its first sumbarine?

I'm nuts about Excel and not ashamed to admit it. Some days I have to make myself stop analyzing sales data and actually produce marketing materials. My skills in Excel have grown over the years—I'm comfortable with pivot tables—but my skills in charts and graphs leave much to be desired. I have seen many effective charts while working at Microsoft and have envied the folks who can put them together. The book I've been waiting for has finally arrived: Create Dynamic Charts in Microsoft Office Excel 2007 and Beyond, by Reinhold Scheck (Microsoft Press, 2008; ISBN: 978-0-7356-2544-0).
I can't wait to start producing charts that look like this:
What I like most about this book so far is that it's not just about creating pretty charts and graphs. It's about how to choose the right kind of graph to display data and how to go about charting very complicated data. I can't imagine anyone in a marketing or sales role today who isn't charged with communicating data to other people in the organization. I know that this book will be used at my desk frequently.

When it comes to housing finance, few would deny the importance and effectiveness of the Federal Home Loan Bank System. The FHLBs serve as an important source of capital and should be part of the dialogue as we decide the future of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. However, given the exclusivity of its members, the FHLB system is failing to serve the marketplace as well as it could.
Let's be realistic. The FHLB system was created in the 1930s and today we live in a completely different financial world. The global economy is constantly changing and only getting more complicated. Thus, it is time to re-examine the various rules and regulations that govern our financial institutions.
This past January, the FHLBs' regulator, the Federal Housing Finance Agency, finalized the FHLB membership rule, choosing to exclude captive insurance companies from the system. This was a mistake. Although exclusive, the FHLB system is not a private country club and shouldn't be operating as one.
Captive insurance companies are widely recognized institutions that have been productive members of the mortgage finance system for more than two decades. Furthermore, they represent new potential for private capital to expand homeownership opportunities for creditworthy borrowers.
Many captive insurance companies are owned by or affiliated with mortgage real estate investment trusts. Mortgage REITs are required by law to invest the vast majority of their assets in real estate and mortgages, and currently hold roughly $300 billion in mortgages and mortgage-backed securities. Additionally, mortgage REIT-owned captive insurance companies acquire and hold mortgages and MBS with their own capital. This fulfills the secondary market role insurance companies of all types have held since the FHLB Act was signed into law. Notably, this influx of capital has helped partially replace the declining portfolios of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
In turn, the FHLB system helps captive insurers, and by extension their parent companies, by providing flexibility in funding terms. But the FHLB system could also be helpful to a broad array of business models, given the opportunity. That's because the ability to match funding terms with expected asset maturities allows such companies to invest in a greater array of mortgages and MBS.
As I mentioned earlier, the future of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac is of the upmost importance. However, given the legal morass of their conservatorship and an intractable Congress, we must use all tools possible to create a stable, robust secondary mortgage market. But if key entities with an abundance of capital are excluded from the FHLB system the participation of the system itself in any type of reform will be called into question.
It's time to think differently about how taxpayer-backed entities, especially those regulated by the FHFA, can be deployed to serve the entire housing market and not just a limited set of participants. The housing finance system is rapidly innovating new business models, in response to new economic and demographic fundamentals and new regulation. We must think differently about making sure liquidity and capital can support all qualified, compliant companies that serve today's housing community.
David H. Stevens is the president and CEO of the Mortgage Bankers Association. He is a former FHA commissioner and assistant secretary for housing in the Obama administration

Remembering Whitney
My Story of Love, Loss, and the Night the Music StoppedBook - 2013
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
This book should be titled, "The Autobiography of Cissy Houston. And I also threw a bit of stuff in about my famous daughter." While I realize this book is written from Cissy's perspective on Whitney, it was truly unnecessary for Cissy to incessantly talk about herself, brag about her career and one Grammy, include photos of herself and her discography. I was thinking it was a shameless attempt at self-promotion in order to get cash and nearly quit reading it but managed to trudge though. I'm glad I did as the second half is quite moving and is actually about Whitney Houston. If I bought this book I would try to take it back. Definitely a library read.
Cissy Houston is extremely honest in this memoir. She paints everyone in her family, including herself, in a truthful and realistic light. An immensely enjoyeable book.

text: Corn Glut Keeps Bearish Storm Brewing November 8, 2013 10:00 PM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Sara Schafer Top Producer Editor Email Friday's reports confirmed the U.S. corn and soybean crops are huge. Jerry Gulke provides his take on what that means for prices long-term. After a prolonged lack of crop size and demand information, USDA provided the market with its updated Crop Production and World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates on Friday, Nov. 8. Here are the highlights: Corn: national average corn yield is 160.4 bu./acre, up from the September estimate of 155.3 bu./acre. Total production is 13.989 billion bu., which compares to September estimate of 13.843 billion bu. and 10.780 billion bu. in 2012. USDA puts harvested corn acres at 87.232 million, down 1.903 million acres from the September estimate. Soybeans: national average soybean yield is 43.0 bu. per/acre, up from the September estimate of 41.2 bu./acre. Total production is 3.258 billion bu., which compares to September estimate of 3.149 billion bu. and 3.015 billion bu. in 2012. USDA puts harvested soybean acres at 75.688 million acres, down 690,000 acres from the September estimate. "You have to understand we raised the yield and lowered the number of harvested acres," says Jerry Gulke, president of the Gulke Group. "So, that basically put corn production up about 150 million bushels." He says corn demand was also raised. Demand for soybeans and soybean meal was also increased. "Beans are what they are, since they are all pretty much harvested (as of Nov. 3, USDA estimates 86% of the U.S. soybean crop has been harvested)," Gulke says. Hear Gulke's full audio analysis: When Too Much is a Bad Thing Even though corn and soybean prices all closed higher on Friday, Gulke says Friday's reports don't show long-term price support. "For the corn yield, anything over 155 bu./acre was too much," he says. "We talked about that months ago, back when we didn't think we were going to get 150 and now we're at 160." "The only hope left for corn is that they really reduce acres in South America and we don't plant as many acres or don't get as good of yields next year," he says. But, he says there is still a story in soybeans. "We grow about equal crops in the U.S. and in Brazil, so it puts pressure on Brazil to grow more beans," Gulke says. "There's an incentive to increase beans and decrease corn. But, how that crop evolves out of there remains yet to be determined." Going forward, Gulke expects to see a sideways trading range, with around a 40-cent spread. Now that farmers know their total yields and cost of production, he says they should try to capture any rallies. He points out that a 40-cent swing is $60 an acre, if you have 150-bu. corn. Planning for 2014 The book has pretty much closed on the story of the 2013 crop, Gulke says. "Once we get the corn harvested and in the bin, you can't kill it anymore," he says. "We're very close to say we have 14 billion bushels." Gulke says as farmers start penciling out their 2014 crop mix, they need to remember that next fall is not going to be like this fall, where the bins were empty and farmers could store so much. Also, he says farmers should determine their exact cost for carrying grain and factor that into their marketing plan. He says while prices seem somewhat stable now, next year holds great downside risk. "If we produce another crop that is 1 billion bu. in excess of what we need, then we are probably going to raise the carryover by another 500 million bushels," he says. "That's when the realization comes in that there's no sense in paying $4.25 for September corn in 2014, when we have another big crop coming." In the meantime, Gulke says many producers are seeing really strong basis. "Take advantage of good basis and let them have it," he says. "There's nothing telling us corn will go back to $5."

As a small part of February's Night at the Museum, which coincided with Valentine's Day, we projected a series of films onto one of the sloping walls in our great Hall. I became quite enamoured with the selection I lovingly selected, and I wanted to give credit where credit is both due and in some cases a condition of use – so here is the playlist, with links to the source – which was mostly the fabulous Internet Archive.
First, here is a horse munching on some buttercups, mmm:
A playlist of love-ly movies/videos
- The Solar Angel (2011), 18:09 – computer-generated golden moving-pattern goodness
- Automat (2011), 15:03 – man falls in love with a woman in a painting
- Life Relentless (2011), 11:57 – sperm and egg!
- White Pony Munching Buttercups (2007), 0:17 – yes, it is a horse eating buttercups, as above
- Your Guide to Perversion (2004), 9:26 – heavily edited grabs from various sources – humorous and cool
- Weg zum Nachbarn (1968), 10:14 – simple, interesting film playing on and with the spectator
- Play! Girls (1937), 11:08 – dancing girls
- A Lesson in Love (1931), 10:27 – Betty-Boop-like comic actress getting formal and informal lessons in love
- Love Nest (1923), 22:24 – heartbroken man (Buster Keaton) sets off in a small boat, has surreal experience, returns
- Daydreams (1922), 18:08 – Buster Keaton's character pledges to test himself in order to be worthy of the woman he loves
- The Escape on the Fast Freight (1915), 12:41 – action adventure where the heroine does her own stunts
- Twenty Minutes of Love (1914), 9:59 – Charlie Chaplin tries to inveigle his way in between various couples in the park
- Cruel, Cruel Love (1914), 8:58 – more love triangles with Charlie Chaplin
- The Portrait of The Lady Anne (1912), 14:44 – historical fantasy film
- First Ever Kiss on Film (1896, 1900), 1:08 – just so! (see below)
Finally a still from that last one, which is unmissable:
Would you want to download the whole reel to play during some lovely leisure time of your own? If so, let me know and I will compile and compress into a single reel.

(How Do We Develop) Post Carbon Pathways? Learning from international research & policy
Posted in Movements, Policies, Research, Visions by Kate Archdeacon on June 3rd, 2013
Post Carbon Pathways: Towards a Just and Resilient Post Carbon Future
Learning from leading international post carbon economy researchers and policy makers
Key messages
1. The probability and risks of global warming of four degrees or more are rapidly increasing. This is, however, an argument for visionary leadership and decisive action – not political paralysis and buck-passing.
2. The technological and economic roadmaps showing the actions we need to take to avoid catastrophic global warming are now widely understood. From Germany to California and from the United Kingdom to China the global momentum for implementation of large scale de-carbonisation strategies is rapidly accelerating.
3. The biggest roadblocks preventing implementation of large-scale de-carbonisation strategies at the speed required to prevent runaway climate change are primarily political not technological. The key roadblocks are:
- Climate science denial
- The power of the fossil fuel industry and its allies
- Political paralysis
- Unsustainable consumption of energy and resources
- Path dependencies and outdated infrastructure
- Financial and governance constraints
4. The key actions needed to overcome these political roadblocks are:
- Clear understanding of the necessity and possibility of an emergency speed transition to a just and resilient post-carbon future
- Broad recognition of the potentially enormous social and economic benefits of switching investment from fossil fuels to energy efficiency, renewable energy and carbon sequestration
- Game changing social and technological innovation
- Decisive leadership and skilful implementation by communities, business and government at every level of society

Ethical Paper Pledge: Seeking Signatories!
Posted in Movements, Policies, Visions by ethicalpaper on March 27th, 2013
Paper production is the main driver of native forest logging in Australia. Native forest logging destroys crucial habitat for our native wildlife, degrades water catchments and releases vast amounts of greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere.
The main domestic purchaser of native forest pulp logs in Victoria is Australian Paper. Australian Paper produces Reflex brand office papers. Companies and individuals that have taken the Ethical Paper Pledge are making a commitment not to purchase Reflex papers until Australian Paper commits to moving out of irreplaceable native forests and into plantation resources. This will send a strong message to Australian Paper that it is time to move towards a sustainable future.
To sign the Ethical Paper Pledge or to find out more, please visit www.ethicalpaper.com.au or send an email to mail
Keep the Federal Government accountable for the Environment: Get Up Campaign
Posted in Movements, Policies by Kate Archdeacon on December 5th, 2012
Keep Federal Government Environment Power!
At a meeting this week the Federal Government will further its plan to hand over its environmental oversight and protection responsibilities to the States. The Business Council of Australia, who came up with the idea, want a blank permission slip to mine, log, or develop wherever they like. It beggars belief that the Prime Minister would want to hand over power to the States at a time like this. Former NSW government ministers are being investigated for multi-million dollar corruption in relation to Hunter Valley mining licenses. Queensland's Campbell Newman is trying to allow giant coal ports inside the Great Barrier Reef. While in Tasmania miners want to dig up the ancient rainforests of the Tarkine.

Melbourne's Metropolitan Strategy: Discussion paper open for contributions
Posted in Policies, Seeking by Kate Archdeacon on December 3rd, 2012

Information drawn from Urbis Think Tank and Plan Melbourne:
The Discussion Paper, "Melbourne – let's talk about the future," is part of the work currently underway in preparation for a new Metropolitan Strategy for Melbourne's next 3 decades of growth and change. The paper is intended to stimulate dialogue across the community, private sector and industry around a series of ideas and principles for the future of the city. A draft Metropolitan Plan will then be shaped from the current consultation around these principles, due for release in Autumn 2013.
The Government is calling for input on the proposed principles, which raise fundamental issues around the growth and structure of the city, including:
- The structure and location of job clusters in the new economy;
- Opportunities for strategic renewal in areas that are ripe for urban transformation;
- Partnership opportunities to realise new ways of funding for urban infrastructure;
- The potential for long term containment of the city by a permanent green belt.
The 9 principles are focused around three key themes:
- "What most people value about Melbourne", (principles 1 to 5) exploring ideas that could inform a future vision for Melbourne,
- "What needs to change", (principles 6 & 7), focusing on how Melbourne's urban form should be managed at a metropolitan and local scale.
- Implementation considerations (principles 8 & 9), focusing on leadership and partnerships.
Opportunities to comment through online forums or event attendance are currently open, with comments closing on March 1, 2013.

Campaign to Invest in Solar Thermal
Posted in Policies, Seeking by Kate Archdeacon on September 28th, 2012
Source: Get Up
>>Invest in Solar Thermal
Right now there's a proposal on the table to replace two of the highest polluting coal fired power stations in Australia with solar thermal. Building Australia's first solar thermal plant in Port Augusta will help create hundreds of new jobs – and reduce harmful emissions that are contributing to climate change. It will deliver local investment and will do a great deal to mitigate long-standing community concerns about health issues related to the coal fired power plant.
There's only one group of people who are yet to get behind it, and that's the Government. Email your ALP MP using our tool [visit the web page] and ask them to commit to using our two existing renewable energy funds (ARENA and the CEFC) to fund Australia's first solar thermal power plant.
Healthy Foods for Healthy Communities: Report
Posted in Policies, Research by Kate Archdeacon on July 5th, 2012
The HealthWest Food Security Network is very pleased to present the Healthy Foods for Healthy Communities – Issues of food access and availability in the west, a report canvassing key food security issues in the HealthWest catchment.
The report findings point to a number of food access and food availability issues in the west based on the findings from three data sources: food outlet mapping, the Victorian Healthy Food Basket (VHFB) surveys, and community consultations.
The main issues that affect food access in the west are:
- high cost of healthy food;
- low income; and
- lack of public or private transport.
The main issues that affect food availability in the west are:
- fruit and vegetable deserts;
- disproportion between the number of fresh fruit and vegetable outlets in comparison with take away outlets; and
- lack of culturally appropriate food.
Access to healthy and culturally appropriate food is an important social determinant of health and the Report includes key recommendations to improve access and availability of fresh food in our community.
The report will be particularly useful for local council planners, health promotion workers, managers, program developers, quality improvement officers and other workers who will be able to use the data to inform food security advocacy, policy, planning and program development.
>>Download Healthy Foods for Healthy Communities – Issues of food access and availability in the west, June 2012
From the Executive Summary:
Based on the key food security issues identified in the west that have been presented in this report, the following recommendations are proposed to improve access and availability of fresh food in the west:
- Support community initiatives promoting access to affordable healthy food (e.g. farmers markets, food swap).
- Establish partnerships with local stakeholders including community and health services, council, community groups and local business interest groups, to ensure equitable distribution of resources to vulnerable community groups.
- Advocate to local council and relevant decision makers to improve the access to nutritious foods by improving transport links to food outlets (e.g. new or altered bus routes, cycle paths, community buses).
- Advocate to local council and relevant decision makers to improve the access to nutritious foods by regulating the number and type of food outlets licensed in the west.
- Support development of urban food production in the fruit and vegetables deserts (e.g. public space food production, community gardens, and private gardens).
- Develop a means of evaluating the access to culturally appropriate foods (e.g. develop a cultural healthy food basket).
- Integrate determinants of food security (i.e. transport, employment and housing) across organisational policies and programs.
- Develop evidence based strategies addressing the determinants of food security.
In addition, a number of recommendations for the HealthWest Food Security Network were made to guide future work, as outlined in Chapter 5.
True costs of imported food in Australian supermarkets?
Posted in Movements, Opinion, Policies by Kate Archdeacon on June 1st, 2012
Source: Food Magazine
Photo by Tait Schmaal in an article for Adelaide Now about the damage imported processed food is doing to local growers.
From "Where does the food sold in Australian supermarkets really come from?" by Jessica Burke:
One in every four grocery items now sold in Australian supermarkets is private label and of those, about one in two is imported.
The Age has conducted an investigation into the state of the supermarket sector, and the results would not surprise anyone in the Australian food manufacturing sector. It found the rate of imported food products is increasing at a rapid pace, as the only way for the companies to provide their ridiculously low prices is to buy food produced in countries by cheap labour.
South Africa and Thailand, two countries notorious for lacking in workers' rights and having extremely low wages, are two of the markets commonly used by the cheap food retailers in Australia. Researchers from the Australian National University embarked on a mission to follow the supply chain of many private-label products sold in Australia, which found them in South African fruit processing factories and canned pineapple facilities in Thailand. "One of the canneries made private-label products for over 100 supermarkets," researcher Libby Hattersley, who inspected the South African businesses, told The Age. "They just slap the retailers' label on it and send it out to them."
Differing food safety laws a risk for consumers
While the ethical issues involved with sourcing food from such countries are becoming increasingly important to consumers, there are various other issues involved with these systems.
"[No Australian food manufacturers] can survive in this environment, most places I'm going, they're even competing with their own plants in other countries, if the Malaysian or Chinese plant is going better, they have to compete," Jennifer Dowell, National Secretary of the Food and Confectionary division of the Australian Manufacturers Workers Union (AMWU) told Food Magazine earlier this year.
"The problem with that is that people aren't comparing like with like.
"We produce food to a very high level and what is being imported from overseas needs to be the same quality.
"There needs to be more regulation and better testing for what comes into our country.
"If food is imported from a high risk site, like China, that will undergo testing, but not if it's from New Zealand.
"The way the import laws work in New Zealand mean that they can import a product from China, put it in a bag in New Zealand and ship it to Australia as a 'product of New Zealand.'
"If we try to export to other countries we face huge barriers, but we have removed all the barriers for others getting food into our country."

Growing Green Guide for Melbourne

From an InDesignLive article by Annie Reid:
Picture this – Melbourne's city rooftops covered in lush greenery. It may sound fanciful, but a new project launched last week by the City of Melbourne is hoping to green our buildings and houses for good.
The Growing Green Guide for Melbourne was fittingly presented on the rooftop garden of the council's CH2 building, and will be produced by the Inner Melbourne Action Plan (IMAP) comprising the 4 inner city councils – Melbourne, Yarra, Stonnington and Port Phillip – as well as the University of Melbourne.
The project will comprise a 'how to' handbook guide on constructing a green roof or wall, and help people consider all the aspects they need to cover before transforming these spaces into vegetated, leafy habitats. It will also identify prime sites for the future development of green roofs, walls and façades in inner Melbourne, says The University of Melbourne's senior lecturer, John Rayner.

Melbourne Water Draft Strategies: Consultation now open
Posted in Policies, Seeking by Kate Archdeacon on May 4th, 2012
Melbourne Water is preparing two draft strategies: The Healthy Waterways Strategy and The Stormwater Strategy to guide our actions and management of our waterways and stormwater in the period 2013/14 to 2017/18.
The Healthy Waterways Strategy will replace the current Regional River Health Strategy when it expires in 2013. It will guide investment and actions for healthy rivers, estuaries and wetlands from July 2013 to June 2018. Activities that will be guided by this strategy include vegetation management, environmental flows, habitat enhancement and working with communities to achieve healthy waterways.
The Stormwater Strategy is closely linked to the Healthy Waterways Strategy. It will focus on the management of stormwater in rural and urban areas to protect and improve ecosystem health of waterways and bays over the same period. It will see Melbourne Water working with others to achieve multiple community outcomes for stormwater management in relation to liveability, alternative water supply and public health.
We are really keen for your input into finalising these strategies, and will be consulting on both at the same time during May and June 2012.
You can join in and comment via an online forum, survey and email on the consultation site.
This will be activated in Mid May 2012.
In person:
You can attend one of eight workshops held in May and June throughout the Port Phillip and Westernport region to learn more and provide comment.
To register, please go to the consultation site. Registration closes one week prior.
Hopefully the Stormwater Strategy will link up with the recommendations in the Living Melbourne, Living Victoria Roadmap released last week. KA

EJOK is a new initiative to help a Turkana community improve their local primary schools and basic health care
The northern region of Kenya is world famous for the fossils that have revealed the beginnings of humankind. It is also home to the Turkana, a pastoralist people who live in these harsh and arid lands. Their traditional way of life is changing fast, and as they face the challenges of the 21st century, the education and health of their children is the highest priority. EJOK was started by scientists working in the area to help the communities they work with in a small way. In 2013, EJOK built a new classroom for the youngest kids who are beginning their education at Lokwar Ankhaleso. In 2014, EJOK aims to build a small dispensary at Lokutumo so that the local communities have access to the most basic of health assistance.

Characterizing his departure as a retirement, Mr. O'Malley said he'll explore private-sector employment opportunities. "They will be in the transportation field, and that's about all I want to say about them at this point in time," said Mr. O'Malley, 54.
A permanent successor has not been named. State Transportation Secretary O. James Lighthizer will take over the port's operations temporarily, enabling him to gauge what qualifications a replacement will need, a statement from Mr. Lighthizer's office said.

Is it possible that Bashar al-Assad is simply just crazy? Of course, it is always more likely than not that a political leader is in fact rational – even for the likes of Kim Jong-un, Muammar Gaddafi, and Saddam Hussein.

An 'A' for effort: Experimental evidence on UN Security Council engagement and support for US military action
The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) has often adopted resolutions to authorise the American use of force. What do these resolutions communicate to the wider public overseas? Will they increase levels of support for US military action? A survey study [link to article] we have conducted in Japan finds not only that UNSC resolutions increase levels of support, but also that resolutions which failed due to a Chinese or Russian veto will still secure high levels of support for the use of force. If a draft resolution is withdrawn, however, or the US gives up on diplomacy, then public support falls. Foreign public opinion gives an 'A' for diplomatic effort when the US at least tries to pass a resolution; self-withdrawal is the worst case for the US.Read More »

I love tough guys.
Let me clarify. I love tough guys existing in desperate situations, men who know fear, but who also know how to work with that fear. Conquerors, vanquishers, men of action who make no apologies. The world needs men like this now more than ever. Imagine a place where tough guys routinely strode up to politically correct mullet-heads, slapping them silly – slapping sense into them. Better yet, let's send a battalion of tough guys to Washington and get our collective heads out of our asses.
I've always been intrigued by cowboy culture. To me, the men of the range were the next to last tough guy generation (the last being those who fought in WWII and reshaped the world). Cowboys were heavily mythologized by Hollywood in the 20th century, so for most folks, it's impossible to separate tall tale from true story.
Then again, there's a certain sublimity to a well told tall tale (say that 10 times fast, pardner). So, where is all this heading? Honestly, I'm not so sure. Really, this is a snippet of what was going through my head when I sat down to write my weird west novel, Hell Hole. Yes, it had to have horror because that's what I and Samhain live to write and publish. But this time around, I craved something different – to lose myself in the character of a bonafide tough guy. Nat Blackburn, the former cowboy, Apache scout and Rough Rider is as tough as it gets, but not in an Aahnold or Die Hard parody. He's simply a man, flesh and heart hardened by decades of hard living under the unrelenting sun. Despite his swagger, he knows he doesn't have all the answers and he necessarily doesn't relish facing danger. But when you're in a tight spot, a man does what a man's gotta do.
America needs more men like this. I can only imagine what Teddy Roosevelt would do and say if he was alive today. Heads would roll and he wouldn't give a damn about the popularity polls. He wouldn't get re-elected, but his four years in office would be a hell of a ride.
But, seeing as that's not going to happen, it's up to us writers to spin our tales, taking you back to not necessarily simpler times, but at least ones where every action wasn't picked apart by media and consumers alike. Living ain't pretty. Hell Hole takes you to a place where it's downright ugly. It takes a man like Nat to spit in its eye.
You'll wish you could be a man like Nat…or be with a man like him.
Tough guys are a dying breed. But they're not dead yet.
HELL HOLE Synopsis:
Deep in a Wyoming mine, hell awaits.
Former cattle driver, Rough Rider and current New York City cop Nat Blackburn is given an offer he can't refuse by President Teddy Roosevelt. Tales of gold in the abandoned mining town of Hecla, in the Deep Rock Hills, abound. The only problem–those who go seeking their fortune never return.
Along with his constant companion, Teta, a hired gun with a thirst for adventure, Nat travels to a barren land where even animals dare not tread. But the remnants of Hecla are far from empty. Black-eyed children, strange lights and ferocious wild men venture from the deep, dark mine...as well as a force so sinister Nat's and Teta's very souls are in jeopardy.
There's a mystery in Hecla thousands of years old. Solving it could spell the end of the world.
Hunter Shea, Biography:
Hunter Shea is the author of paranormal and horror novels Forest of Shadows, Swamp Monster Massacre, Evil Eternal, Sinister Entity, which are all published by Samhain Horror. HellHole came out in August 2014 and is his first western horror. His next Samhain novel, Island of the Forbidden, publishes January 2015.
His thriller Montauk Monster was published by Kensington/Pinnacle in June 2014, and he's working on a second novel for Pinnacle. A short story to be read prior to Sinister Entity, called The Graveyard Speaks is available for free download, and he has written a book of stories called Asylum Scrawls. Hell Hole (Samhain) is his first western horror. His work has appeared in numerous magazines, including Dark Moon Digest, Morpheus Tales, and the upcoming anthology, Shocklines : Fresh Voices in Terror. His obsession with all things horrific has led him to real life exploration of the paranormal, interviews with exorcists, and other things that would keep most people awake with the lights on. He is also half of the two men show, Monster Men, a video podcast that takes a fun look at the world of horror. You can read about his latest travails and communicate with him at www.huntershea.com, on Twitter @HunterShea1, Facebook fan page at Hunter Shea or the Monster Men 13 channel on YouTube.

India has successfully developed two crucial defence capabilities which signals its entry into an exclusive club of nations with such indigenous technology. The first achievement is the development of an indigenous autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) by state-run DRDO which will aid in maritime security and the other is an RF (radio frequency) seeker which was successfully flight-tested in anti-tank Nag missile by the Indian Army in Rajasthan. The latter was also developed by DRDO lab called Research Centre Imarat (RCI) and is a milestone in seeker technology for missiles.
With the development of the autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV), DRDO has enabled India to be at par with nations like US and Japan with such indigenous technology. The testing of this remotely operated vehicle has been done by DRDO and the project has achieved objectives. The AUV project involves the Electronic Corporation of India Limited (ECIL), Hyderabad, as the concurrent engineering partner. The cost of the AUV is roughly $ 8.4 million and it will augment underwater surveillance capabilities of the Indian Navy.
The aim of the AUV is to aid the Indian Navy in surveying waters and help in the deterrence of hostile ships or submarines. The AUV is very small in size and operates around a mother ship from where it is launched, controlled and recovered. The AUV is a unique, one-of-a-kind of vehicle being developed and produced by ECIL. It will also facilitate carrying of payloads if the missions require it to, added ECIL. DRDO has done extensive work in terms of harnessing various aspects of hydro-dynamics as well as the integration of control and guidance in the AUV. The technology is aimed to be transferred to industry through mission mode projects based on specific application and requirements.
The other significant milestone by India is the development of an indigenous seeker technology. DRDO has successfully flight-tested an RF (radio frequency) seeker in the anti-tank Nag missile of the Indian Army. This is the first time that a millimetric Wave (mmW) seeker with all-weather capability was tried for a 2,000 metre range in a successful mission. Earlier, the DRDO had only developed the Imaging Infra-red (IIR) seeker but the current breakthrough will be the solution for applications in surface-to-air missiles, air-to-air missiles, anti-tank missiles and air-to-surface missiles.
Once again, the mmW seeker will put India in an exclusive club of nations possessing such technology. The mmW seeker has been designed and developed by scientists at Research Centre Imarat (RCI), one of the key laboratories of the DRDO's missile complex. The seeker's capability to track the target in a 'Lock-on-Before-Launch' method, right from the missile's firing and throughout the trajectory, was successfully demonstrated. In the future, the seeker would be used in a system in 'Lock-on-After-Launch' mode for an extended range. The development of this seeker will also help the incorporation of dual-mode seeker technology.

Chef Afzal Mohammed graduated from our Durban Campus in 2011, after completing a Combination Programme in Culinary Arts. After receiving valuable industry experience, he decided to join the Capsicum team as a lecturer at the Durban Campus.
Chef Afzal gives us his take on local flavours, "Durban is blessed with a rich multi-cultural society where tradition is embraced by everyone. The foundation left by our forefathers might have lacked the creative flair that we find in today's youth, but the basic principles of flavour, texture and colour combinations have seemed to cling to us like the stubborn generation we are.
Local resources are widely available from the sugar mills which feed sweetness into our pastry classes, to the spice markets that bring the heat to many of our locally-inspired dishes. As one of the largest Chef schools in the country, we aim to take the fresh buds of passion in our students and develop them into blossoming gardens."
Some local flavours include
• Traditional African cuisine
• South and East Indian cuisine
• Afrikaans cuisine

Chiba Lotte Marines: Akira Ohtsuka has surgery on left knee
by Gen on Feb.19, 2010 @ 4:59 pm, under NPB, Spring Camp
=== 2/20/2010 1:36am JST
...Notes from Friday's intra-squad practice game:
Yuta Ohmine started and tossed three shutout innings; he gave up a hit and struck out three. He also got Tae-Gyun Kim to hit into two GIDPs.
Bryan Corey threw a scoreless inning in relief and struck out two batters.
Yoshihiro Ito ran into some control problems during his outing, loading the bases on a walk, a hit, and an HBP. He ultimately ended up allowing three runs to score.
Tadahito Iguchi went 3-for-3 with a double -- two singles against Yuki Karakawa in his first two at bats and a double off Hiroki Ueno in his third at bat.
=== 2/19/2010 4:59pm JST
...The reporters got to eat breakfast with Norifumi Nishimura on Friday after morning exercises. Not really sure what was said because he apparently asked reporters that everything was off the record.
...The Marines announced that Akira Ohtsuka had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee (左ひざ半月板鏡視下切除術) on Thursday and that his surgery was a success. The knee will require about 2 months to heal. Ohtsuka will be discharged from the hospital on the 19th.
...Nishimura announced that Yuki Karakawa will start a practice game against the Yakult Swallows on the 2/23. The was originally some concern as to whether or not Karakawa would be ok to go on the 23rd after popping a blister on his right middle finger, but he was able to start throwing again on Wednesday.

NEW YORK (AP) — Chesapeake Energy Corp. says the federal government is investigating whether there were antitrust violations relating to its purchase of some oil and gas land in Michigan.
The Oklahoma City-based company said in a regulatory filing on Thursday that it was subpoenaed on June 29 by the U.S. Department of Justice to hand over paperwork related to those purchases. Chesapeake said it has also received demands for documents and information from state government agencies.
It said it intends to cooperate while its board conducts an internal investigation.
Chesapeake has spent about $400 million to buy leases in Michigan.
Its shares fell 39 cents, or 1.9 percent, to $19.92 per share in morning trading Friday. Its shares are down about 12 percent since the start of the year.
Four days before Chesapeake received the federal subpoena, Reuters reported that the company colluded with a Canadian rival to suppress land prices in areas that were considered to be rich in oil and natural gas.
The report said that Chesapeake CEO Aubrey McClendon worked with executives at Encana Corp. to avoid bidding against each other in public land auctions in Michigan. Reuters, which based the report on emails obtained from the two companies, said those discussions appeared to violate federal and state antitrust laws. Chesapeake wouldn't comment on the allegations.
The story followed a string of reports about potential corporate governance violations by McClendon. News reports in April revealed that McClendon took out more than $1 billion in loans to cover his personal stake in the company's wells. Also, while leading Chesapeake, McClendon ran a private hedge fund that traded in contracts for oil and natural gas — commodities that Chesapeake produces.
Chesapeake has since stripped McClendon of his board chairmanship although he remains CEO.

I have a question about crying it out and napping. My daughter is 17 days old and I started putting her down for naps in her crib after playing a bit. She cries and cries and cries...it took her 45 mins to fall asleep. It's now 9:45 and she's due to eat again at 11. Do I wake her up to eat or let her sleep and wake up on her own? This is only day two of Babywise for us...nights are great but napping is awful so far!

If my son ended up not getting much of a nap because it took him a while to fall asleep, I'd just let him sleep a little bit later (maybe 30 minutes) than normal so that he was more rested, but his schedule wasn't way off.

I have a question about sleeping through the night. My baby is now 12 weeks. We started babywise a month ago. He is doing good eating and napping on schedule mostly, but he isn't sleeping through the night yet. I know babywise says at this point he should be extending his nighttime sleep. Should I let him cry it out in the middle of the night?
Also, I wonder if he is not sleeping through the night because he is not getting enough during the day. He has been getting fussy while he nurses lately, so he doesn't always finish a meal. Any advice? Thank you

Shelfers, I might do 30 minutes pastr when she should get up, but not more than that. At this stage, you want things to be as consistent as possible in order to stabelize metabolism. You then need to watch the next waketime; she might need to go down early for the next nap.
Be sure to see these posts:

If you think he doesn't need to eat in the middle of the night, you can try CIO. But also know that many babies who start BW from birth aren't STTN at that age yet. Since you started late, he will likely do things like that a bit later. See this post for other options for dropping middle of night feedings:
Early Morning Feedings Before Waketime: http://babywisemom.blogspot.com/2008/01/early-morning-feedings-before-waketime.html
With the nursing, are you sure he isn't just eating faster? Most babies start eating significantly faster around 3 months. If so, that could be the reason he is fussy. I would also check into milk supply just to be sure.

My daughter is 3 1/2 months old and about 12 pounds. She's a great night time sleeper (7 to 8 hrs through the night). We just got her on a longer night time sleep schedule about 3 weeks ago. She's never been a good day-time napper. I think she would nap one hour each eat, play sleep cycle, but lately she seems to want to sleep longer. Should I let her sleep longer than 2 hrs? And will letting her sleep longer than 2 hrs affect her night time sleep?
- July 15, 2009 at 3:52 PM
- Plowmanators said...
Devin, you can let her go up to 2.5 hours, but don't let her go longer than that. So long as you get the correct number of feedings in for her, she should sleep just fine.

Question - My baby will be 4months old in two days. He take four 2hr naps throuout the day and sleeps 11hrs at night with two feeding at 1am and 5am. Shouldn't he be sleeping through the night by now? We've been doing BW since 7 weeks. Do you think he isn't STTN because he's sleeping so much throughout the day? Should I lengthen his wake time throughout the day? He sleeps for 2hrs and is up for 1hr. That's his schedule throught the whole day. Help!
- June 29, 2011 at 12:26 PM
- Plowmanators said...
Michelle, yes, I would take him down to three naps a day.
