About Kicking & Screaming
KICKING & SCREAMING is a new competition series that teams 10 expert survivalists with pampered partners to face the toughest challenges of their lives. From executive producer Matt Kunitz ("Wipeout," "Fear Factor"), in association with Lionsgate Television, and hosted by Hannah Simone (NEW GIRL), the series drops these unlikely duos into a tropical jungle in Fiji, where they must overcome dangerous animals, raging rivers, hunger and extreme weather.
While these no-nonsense survivalists are accustomed to fending for themselves, there's one thing for which none of their previous expeditions have prepared them: their nature-phobic partners, who think "glamping" is roughing it. To win the competition, and a cash prize of $500,000, the experts will have to drag their partners, KICKING & SCREAMING, to the finish line.
PRODUCTION COMPANIES: Lionsgate Television, Pulse Creative
CREATORS: Matt Kunitz, David Shumsky, Mark Harris
EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS: Matt Kunitz, Anthony Dominici
CO-EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS: David Shumsky, Mark Harris, Rebecca Shumsky Quinn
HOST: Hannah Simone

Asked on the night of September 11 what the attack meant for relations between the United States and Israel, Netanyahu replied, "It's very good." Then he quickly edited himself: "Well, not very good, but it will generate immediate sympathy."
Silverstein's wife's insistence that he couldn't cancel an appointment with his dermatologist that morning ensured that he missed his daily breakfast meeting with tenants at the Windows on the World restaurant on the top floors of the North Tower of the World Trade Center.
His son and daughter, who worked with him in the Twin Towers, were also fortunate to be "running late" on September 11.
4000 Iraelis who worked at the World Trade Center, were all convieniently late to work on Sept. 11 2001.
Thousands of Israelis missing near WTC & Pentagon - The Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem has so far received the names of 4,000 Israelis believed to have been in the areas of the World Trade Center and the Pentagon at the time of the attack.

'Leaked' pictures of Sridevi's daughter Jhanvi with her beau stirring up controversy?
The pictures are going viral for a sole reason: Jhanvi and her boyfriend Shikhar Pahariya are captured in the passionate kissing act at a party.
Most of the celebrity kids including Shahrukh's son Aryan Khan, Ibrahim Ali Khan, Amitabh's granddaughter Navya Naveli Nanda and Saif Ali Khan's daughter Sara Ali Khan have grabbed eyeballs on several occasions, but not for the reason Jhanvi did.
It was supposed to be a private photograph of Jhanvi that was leaked on the internet.
Shikhar is reportedly Veer Pahariya's brother who is believed to be dating Saif's daughter Sara.
Jhanvi was just recently offered AR Murugadoss' upcoming film opposite Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu, but the young lady has turned down the offer, reported the SpotBoye.
Helmed by director AR Murugadoss and starring Mahesh Babu in the lead, it is the costliest film of the prince of Tollywood till date, mounted on a budget of Rs 150 Crore.
There were several calls and meetings and there was much pestering. The makers requested Sridevi that this could be the perfect stepping stone for her pretty daughter in the world of movies. But it could not convince Jhanvi.
She has been adamant that she's not ready to make the plunge just as yet. The movie in question will go on the floors from July 29th.

The workplace plays a key role in contributing to the health of its employees. Looking after employee health pays, it has significant business benefits giving businesses a competitive edge.
Why workplace health is important
There is a wealth of evidence that shows having a healthy engaged workforce brings clear benefits for employees and businesses alike with improved quality and productivity.
Employee health has become a key issue as businesses face the costs and potential impact of high absence levels and employee ill health. Businesses are recognising that their biggest asset is their workers and keeping the workforce healthy - both physically and mentally - is beneficial for both employer and employee. It is a key element to a successful business and gives that competitive edge in the current climate.
Poor employee health costs huge amounts of money to employers relating to sick pay, absence to attend medical appointments, employee turnover, recruitment and lower employee productivity.
Looking after your employees, and helping them gain the benefits of good health, pays.
Free workplace visit
Visits by the Workplace Health Manager are free and designed to give you the best possible advice on making your workplace healthier. For further details, please contact our Workplace Health Manager.
Free support and training offered to businesses

You should keep records of any training given - including any "in-house" training. The records should include course content as well as the people trained.
Remember to pay particular attention to the training of young and inexperienced workers.
Employees must understand the potential hazards and how to avoid them.

This book presents a series of computer-drawn maps and tables for all total and annular eclipses of the Sun calculated to have been observable in East Asia in the 3400 years from 1500 BC to AD 1900.
The study of past eclipses is a useful tool in both geophysics and chronology, for example in determining the long-term behaviour of the Earth's rate of rotation. The eclipses of the Sun that occurred in East Asia - notably in China, Korea and Japan - are particularly useful because numerous reliable written records of them are extant.
The book will be of interest to professional astronomers whose work can benefit from long-term historical data, especially those interested in studying the Earth's rotation and to historians of Chinese astronomy. It will be an essential reference work for research libraries.

Straight from Central Cast(e)ing
Finishing a gruesome tome about India, and I came across the concept of "upper-class peasant." Not sure where such folks fit in the grand scheme of things, but frankly it doesn't sound like a bad way to be. For all I know, I've just endorsed something horrific. Let me know if I'm wrong -- and how it might be any better or worse than working on this damn book.

Here's our roundup of the week's tech business news. First, the most popular stories VentureBeat published in the last seven days:
All-new Hotmail to take on Gmail next Monday — On Monday, Microsoft will unleash a new version of its category-leading Hotmail email service that carries the fight against Google onto the screens of the hundreds of millions of lone users and small teams who swear by Gmail.
Google Android outsells Apple iPhone, ranked No. 2 in US smartphone sales — Smartphones based on Google's Android mobile operating system have outsold Apple's iPhone in the U.S. during the first quarter of 2010, according to a report by research firm The NPD Group.
Why Mark Zuckerberg needs to come clean about his views on privacy — Privacy, Facebook's critical issue (and Achilles heel) has come to the fore again. We examine the conundrum for Facebook's youthful founder and CEO, Mark Zuckerberg.
Acer to launch Chrome OS devices in two weeks — We've learned from multiple sources that the Taiwanese computer manufacturer Acer will launch Chrome OS devices at the Computex Taipei show, which will be held from June 1 to June 5.
Square launches credit-card reading for iPhone and Android — Mobile payments startup Square said Tuesday that its iPhone and Android applications are live, and that it has begun to ship its first wave of credit card readers. The San Francisco company, started by Twitter creator Jack Dorsey, offers a small plastic credit card reader that plugs into an iPhone, an iPod Touch, an iPad, or an Android phone.
And here are five more stories that we think are important, thought-provoking, or fun:
The FTC is out to get Google, some interviewees say — Google's $750 million acquisition of AdMob, the fast-growing mobile-advertising startup, appears to be running aground in Washington, D.C. Antitrust regulators at the Federal Trade Commission have reportedly given the deal more time for a review. Some mobile developers, though, are raising questions about the FTC's review process and asking whether Google's getting a fair shake.
Alan Wake takes video games to an art form (review) — VentureBeat's Dean Takahashi says new game Alan Wake is a work of art and one of the best video games he has ever played. It deserves critical accolades, but the jury is out as to whether it will also be a commercial success.
What makes a good home energy management system? — We list the five qualities to look for in an optimum home energy-management system and give examples of companies that could provide one.
Biking to work in SF? Don't forget your CycleTracks app — Bicyclists always want more bike lanes, while the opposition will go to court to prevent painting new "sharrows" on the streets. For city policymakers, proving things like the demand for new bike routes is not as simple as it sounds, which is where mobile location-based technology comes in handy.
Swipely lands big-name investors for a more private approach to social shopping — It looks like Blippy isn't the only startup betting that users want to tell their friends what they've been buying — it was joined Tuesday by Swipely, a site that's launched its invitation-only preview.

In addition to the dozens of professional organizations we present to around the country, throughout the year, meteorologists here at ImpactWeather are asked to speak at local schools and career fairs throughout the Houston area as well as to judge science fairs. Last week, I was asked to give a presentation for a group of 2nd graders, along with my fellow co-worker/friend ImpactWeather Sr. Meteorologist Dorri Breher, for Settlers Way Elementary. If you're not familiar with the Houston area, Settlers Way is located in Fort Bend County in the city of Sugar Land, which is about 30 miles west of our studio here at ImpactWeather. Thanks to technology, we didn't have to drive a single mile.

So how did we manage to produce a live presentation for a 2nd grade class without being at the school? We're actually really fortunate to have very nice equipment and a studio setup a lot like you would see at television stations. In fact, we often do live streaming events from ImpactWeather.

Last Thursday, Dorri started the presentation with "The Weather Recipe" or basically an introduction to meteorology. In order to keep it on a second grade level, she talked about how recipes call for certain ingredients to make pies, cookies, cakes, etc. just like meteorologists look for certain ingredients when forecasting severe weather. Dorri introduced the children to temperature, moisture, wind and air pressure–the four main ingredients of weather.
As for my part of the presentation, I gave them a "Behind the Scenes Look at TV Weather" and talked about why weather is so important to all sorts of professions (i.e. airplane pilots, construction workers, movie studios, etc.) even their every day lives. For example, I explained why the weather plays a vital role in both their activities at school and at home. I concluded the presentation with how the chroma-key works and why some images/scenes you see on television and in movies are probably filmed in front of a green screen.
We always enjoy and look forward to these types of presentations because it really does get the students involved and hopefully wanting to learn more about the weather. It's pretty cool to get kids interested in weather at an early age and who knows, even inspire them to one day be meteorologists. I've wanted to be a meteorologist since I was in 6th grade, so it's possible.

I'm even surprised that MTs are still offered in bargain base models today. In the past, more people drove MTs for performance but also for the value and incentive of higher mpg over the ATs. ATs where considered more "luxurious" but came at a cost. While ATs still cost more today from a MSRP and new technology cost point of view, the shear quantity of ATs that are made and sold (and because most ATs get better mpgs) should make producing a basic MT a wash.
The bargain base MT only idea seems like an old age American perception that car companies have. In my opinion, most people today interested in MTs do it for some performance or personal "feel" point of view and less about "value". For most, I don't see paying the extra $1k for an AT being such a burden as it once was and probably a benefit based on how cars are packaged these days.
Considering how MT take is so low anyways, lets consider the new Forester. Putting aside profit margins, how would total MT sales differ if the F2.5i was only available in a CVT and the FXT was offered in CVT and 6MT? And what if manufacturers started charging more for the MT over the AT/CVT option in more performance oriented applications? Note: I don't know these answers and like to hear other's thoughts. I'm not against ATs or DCTs.
I agree 100%. Manual is no longer an option chosen because you want a car as cheap as possible, but it's an option people who like cars (i.e. enthusiasts) want. These enthusiasts care about their cars and would spend enough money to buy a mid to upper level trim, especially if it's a more powerful drivetrain.
The 2014 Forester is a great example. The 6-speed should have been on the FXT models. The 2.5i models, especially the very basic 2.5i, are going to be used by a soccer mom who doesn't care if it's got a turbo or a stickshift. On the other hand, the FXT's buyer is probably an aging enthusiast who wants a compromise (quick car with the turbo, but can haul his family around). Which is where the 6-speed would be a good option.
I look at a lot of cars that have been released in the last few years and the stickshift seems to always be on the bottom. For example, the new Fusion has a pretty cool EcoBoost setup but the stickshift is only on the 1.6L EcoBoost if I'm remembering correctly. No enthusiast will drive that anemic car, the 2.0L is what they want. Or 6-speed + 2.0L + AWD. That combo doesn't exist for the Fusion, to my surprise (or not to my surprise).

I don't have any evidence??
Do you know what your using as "evidence" for Palestinians being a "people"? A Palestinian Passport. That's akin to holding up an Ontario drivers license and saying "See, there's a distinct Ontario people, with a unique cultural identity".
The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct Palestinian people to oppose Zionism.
For tactical reasons, Jordan, which is a sovereign state with defined borders, cannot raise claims to Haifa and Jaffa, while as a Palestinian, I can undoubtedly demand Haifa, Jaffa, Beer-Sheva and Jerusalem. However, the moment we reclaim our right to all of Palestine, we will not wait even a minute to unite Palestine and Jordan.
Mr. Secretary-General,
I have the honour to enclose herewith the report of the Committee on the
Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People for submission to the
General Assembly in accordance with paragraph 2 of its resolution 65/13 of
30 November 2010.
The report covers the period from 7 October 2010 to 6 October 2011.
(Signed) Abdou Salam Diallo
Chairman of the Committee on the Exercise of the
Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People
Situated at a strategic location between Egypt, Syria and Arabia, and the birthplace of the Abrahamic religions, the region has a long and tumultuous history as a crossroads for religion, culture, commerce, and politics. The region has been controlled by numerous different peoples, including Ancient Egyptians, Canaanites, Ancient Israelites, Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Ancient Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, the Sunni Arab Caliphate, the Shia Fatimid Caliphate, Crusaders, Ayyubids, Mameluks, Ottomans, the British and modern Israelis and Palestinians.
Palestine was among the earliest in the world to see human habitation, agricultural communities and civilization. During the Bronze Age, independent Canaanite city-states were established, and were influenced by the surrounding civilizations of ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, Phoenicia, Minoan Crete, and Syria.
Clearly, your job here is to spread false information.

Adirondack Winter Traditions
Winter in the Adirondack Mountains is one of the most festive and magical times of the year. From November through early March, revelers find ways to celebrate the snow with traditions that span centuries, connect generations and offer fun for all.
The oldest event of its kind in the eastern United States, the Saranac Lake Winter Carnival celebrates its 121st Anniversary this year. A cherished tradition, the Carnival began in the late 1800s when Saranac Lake thrived as a health resort for Tuberculosis patients. It started as a small, two-day affair promoting outdoor sports and recreation for patients "taking the cure," as a way to break up and enjoy the long winter.
As the century passed the Carnival grew, morphing into a two-week celebration filled with special Saranac Lake events like the Women's Fry Pan Toss, musical and theater performances, a much-anticipated parade, as well as opening and closing ceremony fireworks. The crowning attraction of each Carnival is the Ice Palace. Built using two-ton blocks of ice harvested from nearby Lake Flower, the Ice Palace takes its shape anew each winter, offering tunnels, a maze and new surprises at every turn.
Many Adirondack communities host winter carnivals and Lake George is no different. Every weekend throughout February, the Lake George Winter Carnival reigns supreme on the list of fun Adirondack events to check out. From the Polar Bear Plunge, ice golfing and ATV ice races, fireworks and Frisbee golf, to ice sculptures, live music, and beach bonfires - the community of Lake George puts on a show all month long.
Winter Carnivals in the Adirondacks
- Long Lake Winter Carnival offers a full day of winter fun in January. Watch the snowmobile parade descend from the top of Mt. Sabattis, the coronation of the King and Queen of the Winter Carnival, cardboard box sled races, Ladies Fry Pan Toss, fireworks and more.
- Frozen Fire & Lights takes place in the village of Inlet. Gather around the bonfire and enjoy delicious treats after an afternoon of sledding, ice-skating and Adirondack cross-country skiing. Watch a spectacular fireworks display in Arrowhead Park at dusk.
- Raquette Lake Winter Carnival offers family fun in mid-February, including the Lady's Fry Pan Toss, Snowshoe Relay, Snow Dodgeball, and Tug-o-War. Don't miss Ice Golf on Raquette Lake! Warm up beside the bonfire and enjoy a fireworks display.
- WinterFest in Indian Lake, slated for February, promises a jam-packed weekend of Adirondack events. Enjoy a new addition to the festivities, the Winter Wonderland Craft Show.
- Ogdensburg's River Shiver and Polar Bear Plunge - Spend a week on the St. Lawrence River and participate in an ice-fishing tournament, hockey, broomball and basketball tournaments, a reenactment of the Battle of Ogdensburg and the chilly Polar Bear Plunge.
Join us this special season and discover all the fun and excitement of an Adirondack winter!

"Therefore I will look to the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation; my God will hear me." -Micah 7:7
Welcome, World Prayer Team. Today our journey through Africa continues as a listener in the Ivory Coast asks for our prayer.
"God has used your programs to deliver me and help me make important decisions in my life. I used to rush ahead of God and make bad decisions. I was listening only to my fleshy desires and the advice of ungodly friends. As a result, I've had several failed marriages and children with different mothers. Listening to your broadcasts has corrected my heart and I only want to listen to God from now on. I often repeat Micah 7:7 to myself as a reminder to wait on the Lord and hope that He will bring peace with many people I have hurt. Please pray for me."
Today let's thank God for His work in our lives and ask that He would give us the strength and patience to wait and hope in Him.
We're heading southwest tomorrow as we travel on our knees to Mozambique. Meet us there.
I'd also like to know how to pray along with TTB. Sign me up for the World Prayer Team!

The brain can stay swollen up to a month after a stroke, according to Stroke Support. Most stroke patients begin to see an improvement in their symptoms over the first few days and weeks of recovery; however, the time it takes to recover varies from patient to patient.
During the recovery period following a stroke, patients may need to learn new techniques to compensate from the impairments they suffered from as the result of a stroke. Oftentimes, a patient will undergo speech therapy, occupational therapy and physical therapy to help them regain their independence. Progress may take time; however, most patients are able to become independent once again.

Ah, thanks. That higher concentration aspect is hard to believe but apart from that. Same question 4% of what?
It's a calculated combination of the particulate concentration and the rate of decay. As you can see in the third map (which is "year 4"), the particulates are becoming more concentrated, but less lethal due to the rate of decay.
You got me, the term doesn't really seem to be associated with radiation studies in general, apart from this one, and studies on the effect of radiation on the impact strength of materials subjected to radiation. Maybe they're comparing it to the exposure one would have gotten at Fukishima on day one.
The study would then show 160 X background radiation in California after 4 years..
That does not mean that radiation levels were 4,000 times above background levels in the waters around Fukushima. If that were the case things would have been spectacularly worse than they were (and are). It means that the concentration of radioactive materials (specifically, iodine) was 4,000 times the level normally found in the waters in the area.
The nuclear reactor explosion resulted in a great deal of radioactive matter leaked into the sea neighboring to Fukushima. On March 30, 2011, the Japan Central News Agency reported the monitored radioactive pollutants that were 4000 times higher than the standard level.
But again, where else is it going to go?

I know, that was more for the "heading to the US. Karma?" portion of the thread. I'll let you handle the real science bit of it, I was just pointing out there there really wasn't anywhere else for it TO go than towards the US.
illions of Southern Californians and tourists seek the region's famous beaches to cool off in the sea breeze and frolic in the surf. Those iconic breezes, however, may be delivering something hotter than the white sands along the Pacific. Buckyballs. According to a recent U.C. Davis study, uranium-filled nanospheres are created from the millions of tons of fresh and salt water used to try to cool down the three molten cores of the stricken reactors. The tiny and tough buckyballs are shaped like British Association Football soccer balls. Water hitting the incredibly hot and radioactive, primarily uranium-oxide fuel turns it into peroxide. In this goo buckyballs are formed, loaded with uranium and able to move quickly through water without disintegrating. High radiation readings in Santa Monica and Los Angeles air during a 42-day period from late December to late January strongly suggest that radiation is increasing in the region including along the coast in Ventura County. The radiation, detected by this reporter and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, separate from each other and using different procedures, does not appear to be natural in origin. The EPA's radiation station is high atop an undisclosed building in Los Angeles while this reporter's detection location is near the West L.A. boundary.

Positive? Like your post you mean. That's real positive all right.
If you would read my posts in this thread. I've asked some questions and, I think, clarified some things.
Of course, it's not pointless scare mongering so you might not consider it to be a contribution.

What has a fuzzy, skin, looks like a cross between a small potato and a lime, and tastes like a blend of banana, pear, strawberry, and citrus fruit? It would not be too surprising if you didn't know the answer, for kiwifruit is a newcomer to US supermarkets.
Like the kiwi, a flightless New Zealand bird, the kiwifruit is also a New Zealand native. Beginning in May they are airshipped to America, but by late June and early July they come by ship. When the New Zealand harvest ends, California kiwis take over the market. The first plantings of the fruit were made there several years ago.
When kiwifruit is fully ripened, its skin will yield to gentle pressure. It it is not to be eaten immediately, it can be stored in the refrigerator up to a week or more. If not ripe at the time of purchase, the kiwi can be put in a bag with an apple and a banana, and both the temperature in the bag and the gases produced by the other fruits will hasten the ripening process. When ready to use, brush off the fuzzy surface, then peel. Kiwifruit With Prosciutto 6 kiwifruit 1/4 pound prosciutto
Peel 5 kiwifruit. Cut in wedges and wrap in wafer-thin slices of prosciutto. Arrange on serving plate and garnish with rounds of remaining kiwifruit. Chill before serving. Serves 6. Fruit Salad With Kiwifruit 1 1/2 cups sliced papaya 1 cup sliced banana 1 cup sliced grapefruit 1 cup sliced strawberries 1 cup sliced kiwifruit 8 lettuce leaves Juice of 1 lime 3 tablespoons honey 1/4 cup salad oil 1/8 teaspoon salt Chill fruit. Blend lime juice and honey. Add salad oil and salt. Place fruit in mixing bowl, except strawberries. Pour lime-juice, honey, salad-oil mixture over fruit. Mix gently. Arrange fruit on lettuce leaves in individual salad bowls. Add strawberries. Serves 8. Kiwifruit Cheesecake 1 cup graham cracker crumbs 2 tablespoons sugar 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted 1 pound cream cheese, softened 1/2 cup sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla 3 eggs, well beaten Topping 1 cup sour cream 2 tablespoons sugar 1/2 teaspoon vanilla Kiwi glaze 1/2 cup sugar 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch 1 cup water 1 tablespoon fresh lemon or lime juice 3 kiwifruit, peeled and sliced crosswise 1 tablespoon butter or margarine 2 kiwifruit for garnish Combine graham cracker crumbs and 2 tablespoons sugar. Blend in melted butter. Press mixture on bottom and sides of an 8-inch spring-form pan. Chill.
Beat cream cheese until fluffy. Gradually beat in 1/2 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Pour into crust and bake in preheated 350 degree F. oven for 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool 5 minutes.
Combine sour cream, sugar, and vanilla for topping. Spread over top of cake. Return to 350 degree F. oven for 5 minutes. Remove from oven. Cool. Refrigerate 4 hours before serving.
Two hours before serving time, prepare kiwi glaze. In medium saucepan, add sugar and cornstarch and gradually stir in water. Stir over medium heat until mixture is clear and thickened. Add the lemon or jice, kiwifruit slices and butter and continue cooking for 5 minutes over low heat. Cool. Pour glaze over cheesecake. Chill. At serving time, garnish with additional kiwi slices.

Federal and state prosecutors intend to bring civil charges against Standard & Poor's for wrongdoing in its rating of mortgage bonds prior to the 2008 financial crisis, The Wall Street Journal said on Monday, citing people familiar with the matter.
Allegations against the McGraw-Hill Cos unit will center on the model used to rate the bonds and will be made in lawsuits to be filed as soon as this week, the newspaper said, citing the people.
A move by U.S. officials would be the first federal enforcement action against a major credit rating agency over alleged illegal behavior tied to the financial crisis.
Several state attorneys general are expected to join the case, the newspaper said.
McGraw-Hill and the U.S. Department of Justice were not immediately available for comment.
Shares of McGraw-Hill traded as much as 2.6 percent lower following news of the possible charges. In afternoon trading, they were down $1.21, or 2.1 percent, at $57.13.
S&P and its main rivals, Moody's Corp's Moody's Investors Service and Fimalac SA's Fitch Ratings, have long faced criticism from investors, politicians and regulators for assigning high ratings to thousands of subprime and other mortgage securities that quickly turned sour.
In a variety of lawsuits brought by investors, S&P has maintained that its ratings constitute opinions protected by the 1st Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

I've been watching the UK dramedy series Shameless lately, about a hopelessly dysfunctional family, which is funny but in a, well, shameless sort of way. Maybe because of the show, maybe not, but its title has been stuck in my head this past week.
The word definitely crossed my mind as I listened to former Prime Minister of Iceland Geir H. Haarde express his thoughts on the verdict the High Court (Landsdómur) had just announced over him:
"I was acquitted in all substantial matters in this case. I was convicted for one insignificant issue, so insignificant that there is no punishment for it. This insignificant issue is a formality and a violation of a formality," Geir commented. "The verdict is ridiculous and in fact it is more than that—it is absolutely laughable."
Geir's supporters have simplified the conviction to "not having held enough meetings" with news parody website Baggalútur expanding on the interpretation in this story:
"Windfall at High Court: Poor Management of Meeting Schedules at Home Owners Associations
A number of janitors and representatives of home owners associations are alarmed because of the High Court's conclusion [on Monday]. Considerable mismanagement has been noted in regard to meeting schedules at home owners associations around the country in the past years and therefore it must be considered likely that those responsible are held accountable at the High Court.
There have also been news of meetings having been canceled at scout associations, sewing clubs, reading circles and even smaller companies—and so it is clear that the work of the High Court is not nearly finished."
Amusing, as are most of Baggalútur's reports.
Yet, the serious and not-so-funny fact of the matter—however laughable our former prime minister may find it—remains: that he has been found guilty of violating the constitution of the very country that he governed.
The verdict says that even though it is common practice for chairpersons of political parties to informally consult with each other and then pass information on to their respective ministers, it cannot relieve the prime minister from the obligation stated in the 17th article of the constitution.
The article reads as follows: "Cabinet meetings are to be held on novelties in the law and on important administrational issues. Cabinet meetings are also to be held if a minister requests to discuss matters there. The meetings are to be conducted by […] the prime minister."
The prime minister cannot avoid that obligation even though he is concerned that other ministers will not remain confident on matters that are of the nature that they must remain confidential, the verdict continues.
The verdict states that when Geir became aware of the risk to which the Icelandic banks were exposed, which could jeopardize financial stability in the country and thus the position of the state treasury, he should have realized that it had to be immediately investigated whether this information was true.
Information on impending danger which Geir knew about, or was bound to know about, should have been reason for him as prime minister to discuss the matter at a cabinet meeting at the earliest possible occasion.
The jury considers it fully proven that such meetings were not held promptly, calling the former prime minister's failure to schedule them "major recklessness".
The jury concluded that it had been clear to Geir, or should have been clear to him, that discussing the financial stability of the country with his ministers in meetings was of utmost importance and that he was obligated to do so.
How this can be dismissed as "insignificant" is beyond me.
I've heard people reason that it wouldn't have prevented the collapse of the banks. Maybe it wouldn't but taking joint effort in attempting to prevent the banks' collapse—or at least softening the blow to the economy—at an earlier stage would definitely have been worth a try.
I guess Geir and the other ministers were just too busy trying to convince everyone that the Icelandic banks were doing great that they couldn't be bothered.
I do agree with Geir about one thing, though, that his conviction should have come with a punishment. And why is it that we, the public, are supposed to pick up the bill for the legal costs of a man found guilty in court, albeit in only one of four charges?
The whole affair reeks politics, that much is true. The parliament made sure it would when failing to press charges against all of the ministers named as having been guilty of misconduct in office in the Special Investigative Commission report.
Geir believes all other prime minister in the country's history are guilty of the same thing as he: not holding enough cabinet meetings.
But tell me this: did that result in the national economy getting sucked into a black hole created by the simultaneous collapse of its three biggest banks, burying people in debt?
Fact: the economy crashed on his watch and his country's highest court has found him guilty of not serving his role as prime minister properly. If he has no shame at all, he should go ahead and take his case to the European Court of Human Rights.
Now that would be laughable. Shamelessly so.

The other night my entire family went out to dinner at a Mexican restaurant. We had a pretty good waitress but she kept doing one thing that annoyed me.
Me: Can I please get a refill?
Waitress: Diet Coke?
Me: No, regular, please.
Waitress: I'm sorry.
Waitress: Would you like some boxes?
My mom: Yes, please.
Waitress: Okay. Two?
My mom: No, I think we can fit it into one.
Waitress: Sorry.
Me: You're fine
She kept saying "sorry" for things you shouldn't be sorry for. I wanted to take her aside as we left and say, "You're doing a great job. Please don't apologize for these trivial things. Apologize if you spill a drink. Apologize if the food takes forever. Apologize if the food is lousy but please don't apologize because you don't remember my beverage choice."
But I didn't say anything out of fear she'd say "sorry" for being sorry. The word "sorry" is so overused, especially by women. I notice that my daughter says "sorry" a lot. Right now, it is a little kid saying a word, but I don't want it to continue. I've been explaining to her that we say sorry if we hurt somebody or we are mean. Now, she says, "everyone spills the milk sometimes!"
In a world that is becoming oversensitive in some ways, I find people are having to apologize for their opinions. While we shouldn't go out of our way to be mean like POTUS, we shouldn't have to apologize for our feelings and opinions.

Police recover swimmer's body from Murray River at Echuca
A drowning in the Murray River at Moama at the weekend has prompted a warning from police.
A 27-year-old man from Colac, in south-western Victoria, disappeared while swimming with family under the Echuca Moama bridge on Saturday night.
An immediate search by New South Wales police and emergency services failed find any trace of him.
His body was found yesterday, 30 metres downstream of where he was last seen.
Chief Inspector Michael Tranby says people swimming in the river need to take precautions.
"It is dangerous. Be alert of their friends and keep an eye out for each other," he said.
"As you can see from last night and today this is a sad situation but if people can look after each other we might be able to avoid this happening in the future."

March 20th, 2015: Japan's Tattoos
Many cultures tattoo humans, Otie the Iceman had them, I think some of the Bog Bodies do also. But nobody got into like the Asians.
Someone with better skills may be able to root that out.

I've said before that when my 3rd daughter wanted a tattoo,
xoxoxoBruce Saturday Mar 21 01:32 AM
I know people with the running out of room syndrome. However I doubt that happens to the men like the ones depicted in the photograph. They don't keep adding whatever strikes their fancy until they run out of real estate. Their tattoo, their body suit, is planned out in it's entirety before they even begin. The whole picture is carefully interwoven to tell a story, and like all Japanese art, meticulous in detail.
Diaphone Jim Saturday Mar 21 01:07 PM
OK, I have looked at the bottom right photo for quite a while now and am ready for someone to explain what parts of what kind of bodies are depicted.

The Bonhams London to Brighton Veteran Car Run is one of winter's great automotive adventures. The oldest automotive motoring event in the world invites cars built before 1906 to dash 60 miles down a two-lane highway, usually through awful weather, from the U.K. capitol to the trendy seaside town.
Watching is entertaining and, at times, hilarious, but participating is a real adventure. To be part of the low-speed action, you need a car built in 1905 or earlier. If you don't happen to have one of those laying about, you will need to buy one.
London to Brighton
Bonhams makes it easy to purchase a veteran car by hosting an auction for eligible cars the day before the Run. Prices at this year's auction ran from about $50,000 for a 6.5-horsepower 1903 Stanley Steam Runabout to close to $600,000 for a luxurious 1903 Clement in concours condition. Less-expensive veteran cars are available, but some of them are best suited for skilled mechanics. However, some of the participants at this year's Run told us the less-expensive, lighter, simpler cars are sometimes the most reliable and the easiest to field.
If owning a machine constructed during the dawn of the automobile is not on your list of things to do, perhaps you can scam a ride with someone else. That's what my wife and I did.
DON'T MISS: 2015 Goodwood Revival: A Gallery Of Living History
Just a few months after we had moved the London to Brighton Run high on our bucket list, our friend Nick Grewal invited us to ride along in his 1905 Cadillac. Naturally, we jumped at his generous offer.
London to Brighton
Grewal loves his old car. Though a serious Formula Junior racer, he never seems to stop laughing when he's around his 1905 Cadillac, which is understandable because there is so much to laugh about. Starting one of these cars is always humorous, and a herd of them jockeying for position at 10 mph leaves everyone in stitches.
Period clothing was worn by many, including Grewal, who was clad in top hat and fur coat. The day before the Run, he arrived with a vintage music player (as well as period vinyl) to create even more atmosphere in the parc ferme on Regent Street, a block down from Piccadilly Circus.
London to Brighton
Veteran cars are a reminder that electric cars are not new. Power for roughly a third of the 450 cars entered in the Run came from electric motors, a third used gasoline engines, and a third used steam engines. One entry was a rolling cartoon, a steam-powered 1896 Salvesen that featured a boilerman furiously shoveling coal into a boiler mounted on a trailer as the rig flew down the road trailing thick black smoke.
Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason and Formula 1 team principal Ross Brawn participated in this year's Run, but anyone who owns one of these cars is considered a celebrity by this crowd.

Mississippi soybean growers are looking in August at a potentially record-setting crop for the third consecutive year. They are hoping rains will hold off to make this year the charm.
Late-season rains in 2001 and 2002 doused opportunities to surpass the 34 bushel-per-acre record of 1992. However, growers managed to average 33 and 32 bushels per acre despite weather conditions those years.
"Mother Nature got us the last two years at harvest, but we once again have the potential of setting a record crop this year," said Alan Blaine, soybean specialist with Mississippi State University's Extension Service. "Reports on the first harvests indicate yields as high as 70 bushels per acre down to 35 bushels, which is well above our state average."
Blaine said this crop is variable, but those who were able to plant early are on track to be the big winners this year. Even given the adverse conditions, more than 80 percent was in the ground by May 15. Rains were an obstacle for some growers who were forced to plant much later than normal.
"The state crop is quite variable right now. We have some beans being harvested while plants in other fields are only a few inches tall," Blaine said. "We would have had more planted early except growers had to contend with rains and fields rutted from last year's harvest. If we had seen a more widespread use of burn-down herbicides, more growers could have planted sooner."
Recent rains were a blessing for non-irrigated soybean fields, but much of the state has been fortunate to have had above-average rains thus far in the growing season.
Jerry Singleton, area agronomic crops Extension agent based in Leflore County, Miss., said growers are reluctant to express optimism after two harvest seasons robbed them of record yields.
"The early beans are looking very good, but late beans still have a long way to go before we will be able to tell how good their yields will be," Singleton said. "At this point, every shower adds to the yield potential for the late crop."
Blaine said insect and disease pressure has varied across the state. Stink bugs were the primary insect pest in some fields. Frog-eye leaf spot and sudden death syndrome have been seen earlier than normal, but still consistent with the crop's growth stage. Blaine encouraged growers to remember this year's challenges during variety selection next year.
"We need to focus on cyst nematode resistance and sudden death syndrome where problems have been observed," Blaine said.
Mississippi soybean growers planted 1.36 million acres this year, down slightly from 2002. The five-year average yield is almost 27 bushels per acre.
