Are your current lawyers actually holding back your business?
Properly-worded contracts and policies protect your business. By laying down what you expect from customers, suppliers, and employees, they help to shield your business from risk. Your business knows its own contractual obligations, and is clear what it requires from others.
Equally clear is the role played by lawyers in all this. In simple terms, their role is to envisage the risks to which your business might be exposed, and to then offset as many of them as possible by placing appropriate contractual obligations on others.
So far, so simple. But consider for a moment how an unthinking lawyer, unused to the practicalities of business, might approach the task.
Their usual logic—as we've seen many times—is to add more and more stipulations and clauses, every time that they think of another risk.
Unintended consequences
You might imagine that there's no downside to this. But you'd be wrong.
The danger of such 'over-lawyering' or 'gold plating' is that it can actually work against the best interests of your business.
Compliance requirements, for instance, that are so out-of-line with the day-to-day realities of your business that employees just shrug and ignore the whole document. A real-life example: a small UK-based business, with no export activity at all, that nevertheless sought to prohibit employees from bribing the officials of foreign governments.
Supplier contracts that are stuffed with provisions so onerous that suppliers are deterred from dealing with you. Customer contracts that deter customers from buying, and salespeople from selling. Standard terms and conditions that bear no relation to how business is carried out in the modern world.
And policies so based on standard generic documents that they legislate for totally inappropriate risks, while ignoring far more relevant dangers.
Not fit for purpose
Gold-plating disengages and demotivates staff, and impedes relationships with customers and suppliers. Gold-plating frustrates those employees charged with managing relationships with customers and suppliers, and alienates employees by imposing unnecessary restrictions upon them.
Effective contracts and policies do not 'gold-plate'. They are clear, with 'necessary actions' and 'desired activities' abundantly spelt out; they are relevant, including only examples that match the business; and they are engaging and inclusive, rather than alienating.
Our advice: working on your contractual and compliance processes, and including only relevant and necessary 'small print', and which is easily understood and followed, will serve your business better. And when backed up by regular reminders, reviews, advice and training, protects your business far more effectively than any amount of gold-plating.
Where to start?
If the dangers of gold-plating strike a chord with you, we can help.
We're lawyers, but we're also business people, used to dealing with the practicalities of business, and accustomed to working inside businesses, as trusted business advisers, and being 'one of the team'.
Either on a project basis, or on a fixed-fee retainer, we agree a scope of work and a fixed price with our clients. There are no hidden surprises, and clients know in advance what the cost will be.
And our name provides a strong clue as to the nature of the relationship that we aim to build with you. Quite simply, we strive to become part of the management team—an on-site, on-tap legal director, working with you for as many days a year as you require.

The American Red Cross and World Wildlife Fund launch green recovery and reconstruction toolkit for disaster recovery
- Date November 19, 2010
Media Contact
- Lee Poston 202-495-4536 firstname.lastname@example.com
WASHINGTON, November 19, 2010 – An innovative training program and toolkit launched today by World Wildlife Fund and the American Red Cross will provide field staff in humanitarian aid organizations, governments and conservation agencies with the resources to help ensure that disaster recovery and reconstruction efforts not only protect communities from future disasters but also are environmentally sustainable.
When disasters strike, such as the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, they often require immediate as well as longer-term support from the humanitarian community. However, experience shows that the infusion of large amounts of resources to rebuild communities and help get people back to work, although well intentioned, can sometimes generate greater environmental degradation and actually increase community vulnerability to future disasters. The key is to design disaster recovery activities in order to reflect local environmental conditions.
Too often the long-term impacts of the disaster as well as the recovery and reconstruction are difficult to address. The Green Recovery and Reconstruction Training Toolkit for Humanitarian Aid gives a step-by-step guide for the task of rebuilding communities to be more environmentally and socially sustainable than what existed before the disaster.
The toolkit includes real world examples and is made up of 10 modules that cover project design, monitoring, and evaluation, construction site selection, water and sanitation, livelihoods and disaster risk reduction. Examples include:
- lessons learned from the 2004 tsunami recovery efforts about the importance of protecting mangroves and coral reefs to reduce future risk of flooding;
- how providing too many fishing boats to communities resulted in depleted fisheries, causing future food security issues;
- the importance of selecting the right locations for sanitation projects to avoid polluting drinking water and to ensure long term water supplies
"This toolkit is a crucial answer to a challenging question in the rush to recover from disasters – how can aid agencies work with devastated communities to build back safer than before and avoid the unintended consequences of disaster recovery by maintaining and enhancing healthy ecosystems?" said Anita Van Breda, Director of Humanitarian Partnerships at World Wildlife Fund. "Our partnership with the American Red Cross has helped communities ensure that the fish they rely on for protein, the water sources that provide their drinking water and the timber that builds their new homes are provided in the most sustainable way possible."
The toolkit was created with participation from RedR, CARE, Oxfam, Save the Children, Mercy Corps, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, USAID, and the United Nations Environment Programme among others.
"Although disasters often wreak havoc on communities, the rebuilding effort that follows can provide an important opportunity to build back better," said Gerald Anderson, Senior Director of the Tsunami Recovery Program at the American Red Cross. "This toolkit can help make communities stronger and more resilient by making environmental issues an integral part of the recovery process."
Over the years this partnership has helped 2,000 families in Sri Lanka adopt environmentally friendly waste management practices, such as composting and organic home gardening. Composting helped clear the streets of garbage, which often blocked drainage systems when it rained and caused flooding.
In Thailand, children learned how to recycle through a school-based program in which students collected recyclables and deposited them in a "garbage bank" in exchange for gifts or small monetary rewards.
Local communities in tsunami-affected areas of Indonesia have also been organized and empowered to protect the Krueng Sabee watershed, which more than 20,000 people rely on for their drinking, cooking and washing needs. This community-based effort has protected the watershed by curbing illegal logging and gold mining, ensuring drinking water supplies and supporting livelihoods, such as fishing, that depend on natural resources.

About The American Red Cross
The American Red Cross shelters, feeds and provides emotional support to victims of disasters; supplies nearly half of the nation's blood; teaches lifesaving skills; provides international humanitarian aid; and supports military members and their families. The Red Cross is a charitable organization — not a government agency — and depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to perform its mission.

Scott P. Hastings
May 2, 2013
In recent years, the Internal Revenue Service has broadened the types of assets that can qualify for real estate investment trust (REIT) status. This means that REITs — which already include a vibrant cross section of real estate securities — now encompass an even wider collection of traditional and not-so-traditional companies and industries.
In the sections that follow, we discuss the expansion of the REIT universe, issues that we believe may be faced by companies considering conversion to REIT status, and our approach to the market in light of some of the changes taking place.
Based on research, many businesses have elected to recategorize themselves as REITs. At first glance, some of these firms might not seem like the typical real estate operators of yesteryear as U.S. regulations have expanded to allow more types of companies to qualify for REIT status.
As a result, the REIT asset class now provides access to a growing contingent of business types. Examples include:
We believe a company's decision to recharacterize itself as a REIT ought to be based on an honest assessment of its long-term business plan. This is because companies that pursue a REIT conversion face a potentially expensive and time-consuming process. Ultimately, they must meet two conditions in order to qualify for REIT status: (1) They need to derive 75% of gross income from owning and operating real estate, and (2) they are required to distribute 90% of profits as dividends. Given these complications, why are firms motivated to pursue a conversion? The incentives include:
For many companies currently contemplating REIT conversions, we believe the transactions could make a lot of sense. For other companies, however, we are less convinced. We like to look at two main factors when considering the viability of any given conversion:
Many potential REITs have cash flows that are similar to those of traditional real estate investment companies. Communications-tower businesses, for instance, have long-duration cash flows (with annual increases that are pegged to a particular indicator), paired with long-duration debt. In our opinion, this REIT-like environment gives tower operators an advantage.
On the other hand, some types of businesses have a harder time fitting their cash flows into a typical real estate model. Consider operators of data storage centers, for instance. These companies might indeed own real estate, but they are also responsible for providing customers with administrative services — services that consume resources and therefore affect the stability of their income streams.
In addition to considering cash flows, we believe investors should assess the fundamental nature of the real estate actually owned by the prospective REIT. Does the company own land outright, or perhaps own a building or a piece of infrastructure? This is important because by owning some form of physical real estate, the company can introduce a measure of downside protection to its overall risk profile.
While we're talking about physical property, we should mention that we tend to prefer REITs that hold diverse real estate assets in their respective portfolios, and that the "useful lives" of their assets will not be exactly the same.
Ultimately, we believe there will be some genuine success stories, and we think the odds look good for companies like those that have a stake in communications towers. At the same time, we think it's reasonable to presume that a number of conversions will not work. We believe the unsuccessful attempts will ultimately falter because they do not offer investors the same income streams or other essential characteristics that are provided by traditional real estate assets.
There is also the issue of access to capital markets. Remember that once a company becomes a REIT, it no longer has sole discretion over its cash flows, and is therefore more dependent on access to capital markets. This reliance may not be a source of pressure during times of high liquidity — as we are seeing today — but let's remember that liquidity was sparse as recently as 2008, and REITs saw detrimental effects on their access to capital (as well as their valuations).
Across the portfolios we manage, it's unlikely that we will make immediate allocation decisions based on the volume of newly converted REITs. In and of themselves, conversions won't lead us to quickly initiate new positions or eliminate older ones. An increase in REIT conversions would simply expand our universe of investment possibilities, and our research coverage would expand accordingly. All along, each investment candidate would be put through the same long-standing research process that our team follows every day, maintaining our dual focus on property- and security-level analysis.
With the above observations as a general backdrop, here are specific thoughts on our day-to-day management amid a changing REIT market.
Overall, we don't expect newly converted REITs to disturb the key features of the asset class, namely the required dividend payouts and the built-in protection against inflation. That said, we believe investors should keep certain conditions and possible risks in mind, including those noted above.
*For REIT funds managed by Delaware Investments, the stated indices are the FTSE NAREIT Equity REITs Index (for domestic portfolios) and the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Index (for international portfolios).The FTSE NAREIT Equity REITs Index measures the performance of all publicly traded equity real estate investment trusts (REITs) traded on U.S. exchanges, excluding timber REITs. The FTSE EPRA/ NAREIT Developed Index tracks the performance of listed real estate companies and real estate investment trusts (REITs) worldwide, based in U.S. dollars. Index performance returns do not reflect any management fees, transaction costs or expenses. Indices are unmanaged and one cannot invest directly in an index.
The views expressed represent the investment team's assessment of the market environment as of May 2013, and should not be considered a recommendation to buy, hold, or sell any security, and should not be relied on as research or investment advice. Views are subject to change without notice and may not reflect the investment team's current views.
Carefully consider the Funds' investment objectives, risk factors, charges, and expenses before investing. This and other information can be found in the Funds' prospectuses and their summary prospectuses, which may be obtained by visiting delawarefunds.com/literature or calling 800 523-1918. Investors should read the prospectus and the summary prospectus carefully before investing.
Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal.
Narrowly focused investments may exhibit higher volatility than investments in multiple industry sectors. "Nondiversified" funds may allocate more of their net assets to investments in single securities than "diversified" Funds. Resulting adverse effects may subject these Funds to greater risks and volatility.
REIT investments are subject to many of the risks associated with direct real estate ownership, including changes in economic conditions, credit risk, and interest rate fluctuations.
A REIT fund's tax status as a regulated investment company could be jeopardized if it holds real estate directly, as a result of defaults, or receives rental income from real estate holdings.
International investments entail risks not ordinarily associated with US investments including fluctuation in currency values, differences in accounting principles, or economic or political instability in other nations. Investing in emerging markets can be riskier than investing in established foreign markets due to increased volatility and lower trading volume.
There is no guarantee that dividend-paying stocks will continue to pay dividends.
Diversification may not protect against market risk.

The Accounting Historians Journal Vol. 12, No. 1 Spring 1985
Horace R. Givens UNIVERSITY OF MAINE AT ORONO
A TOTAL INFORMATION SYSTEM FOR PHYSICIANS: c. 1897
Abstract: This note describes an account book designed for the use of physicians, from the late 19th century. In addition to financial records, the book provides space for recording details of the medical problem, prescribed treatment, patient condition, and other matters of concern to the doctor. Records were to be kept for each patient, with supplemental entries by type of case. The book represents an early attempt to provide a total information system for the user; a system in which all necessary information would be available without reference to other material.
Accountants are today being asked to provide information on a variety of business matters, of a non-financial nature. This growing tendency has led accountants away from the traditional approach to their work, which centered upon pure financial reporting, and has produced the concept of the total information system designed to furnish a broad spectrum of data. Extensive systems are now common, involving data banks, computer models and so forth, which are intended to give management different types of informa-tion for decision-making purposes. It is interesting to observe, therefore, an attempt to accomplish something similar, in a small way, many years before the advent of the computer with all of its attendant paraphernalia.
In 1897, O. E. Williams of Marietta, Ohio published The Physi-cian's Memorandum and Account Book, Combined and Complete.

In the Preface to the Physician's volume, Williams notes that the medical practitioner must hold himself in readiness: ". . . at all hours to go at the call of a fellow-being who may need his services."1 Because of these demands on his time and the uncertainty of his schedule, Williams says: ". . . he has little time to make such mem-

Othman luminous TOS who probably what kinds of changes should people expect in the next year next two years ... in terms of health care it some ... really hard to tell because is very complicated and killed seventeen percent of the whole ... economy is going to health ... one of the things that ... has been talked and talked about is part of the law ... is that in January a huge poster of a huge expansion of Medicaid ... aam and ... people have pet insurance ... either by their employer provided by themselves or ... Medicaid will expand ... the problem ... the line a lot of prey ... included was put together ... and I'm not a thickly corn and why ... and it ... does you know when to push through ... aam but for example seventeen states ... have said that they are not going to implement the Medicaid Carnival ... twenty seven or so they will ... and sex are undecided show ... it only seemed like a federal law that's going to go right into effect ... you will have to make changes ... but there may be run either by the states ... and and as I've said ... many states in the not going to do what I knew operate hospitals are you in all fifty states where and thirty shirts and Google were pretty much affected by everything right now does that mean basically that this law is going to affect different people in different states ... to do if an extent but to bring poll of the big thing for us ... in the hospital industry ... is OMC thirty one million people who have not been covered before will have insurance ... um that's very important ... and now the exchanges are funded for Congress to fund the changes ... they've not been funded pool ... and I am just in Congress is being reluctant to fund the changes ultimately that will happen ... you will have the strangers either run by the federal government or by the states all by a combination ... chowed them to see the thirty one million people ultimately I'm I'm very confident that within the law so that will happen I will be good for us where all so ... aam the many of our hospitals in fact the majority of psychiatric ... behavioral health of school ... and ... a lot of our revenues and profit comes from that ... and there's been a huge expansion in mental health ... so that portend very well for us ... under a lot of of ... programs ... um that have not covered mental health ...

Last night, the New Jersey Nets — our favorite team to play in NBA Live, by the way; if only they'd just move to Brooklyn already — handled the Toronto Raptors, helped of course by Vince Carter, whose exit from Toronto was one step removed from Tom Cruise refusing to leave the South Park closet until they sent him away. We can't think of an athlete who handled a trade demand worse; if this would have happened with the Maple Leafs, they'd still be beating a mannequin of Carter at City Hall.
But Carter's a free agent this year, and get this: He's considering coming back.
"Vince has talked to his agent about the idea," one of Carter's closest friends tells me. "He wonders if he could patch things up with the Raptors. He even wants the idea floated to the Raptors privately.
"Listen, you have to understand that Vince was unhappy with the old management, but he respects (new general manager) Bryan Colangelo and he's always loved Toronto and its fans." And there's no doubt, the friend said, that Carter will exercise his option with the Nets to become a free agent after this season. "Vince owns a mansion in Orlando, so he's thinking about the Magic," the friend said. "But Toronto appeals to him, too."
In other news, J.D. Drew, Scott Rolen and Terrell Owens are all heading to Philadelphia. Should be fun.

Hey guys! I'm going to be submitting a super awesome lesson on a really cool character from Silent Hill. Of course, this isn't the real deal one, but I figure if the chibi version gains popularity, then I could make the real guy. Anyways, the member on DragoArt, Pearl, requested that I do a tutorial on "how to draw Pyramid Head, step by step". She suggested a chibitized version would be suitable too. Personally, I think starting off by drawing a chibi version is much easier than challenging yourself to something critically hard. By starting off learning "how to draw chibi Pyramid Head", you'll be able to tackle a more detailed form of him. This tutorial was drawn completely during one of my livestream broadcasts. You can head over to the DragoArt LiveStream page for a pre-recorded video that shows how I rendered the entire concept. I had a lot of fun during that LS day, there were a shunning amount of watchers experiencing the process. Anyways, Silent Hill has been my most favorite video game since I was an early teen. The scariness and awesome characters were pretty epic until "Silent Hill Homecoming" came out. The awesome suspense immediately dried up due to the unoriginal monsters and horrible story line. There is also a new movie coming out, based on the second video game. Come on folks, tell me that the first movie was pretty creepy! Back then, me and my brother and sister made a fan video of the movie, thinking it was awesome. I was twelve then, and I always look back on the memories I had of that day. You can head over here for the video. Well fellow artists, I have to go now. Thanks so much viewing this lesson on "how to draw chibi Pyramid Head, step by step".
DragoArt members upload artwork and drawing tutorials! They are also allowed to leave comments on tutorials, profiles, etc. Many more features, as well; it's way better than just being a boring guest! Register Now!

Al Sharpton
Name at birth: Alfred Charles Sharpton, Jr.
Reverend Al Sharpton is a fiery orator and activist from New York City who became famous in the 1980s for his protests against police brutality and racial injustice. As a child, Sharpton was ordained as a minister and was known as the "boy wonder" preacher of the Washington Temple Church of God. Part activist and part entertainer, he founded the National Youth Movement right out of high school, worked as a tour manager for singer James Brown and toured with gospel singer Mahalia Jackson. In the 1970s and '80s he worked with boxing promoter Don King before becoming well-known to New Yorkers as a guy who always seemed to be in the middle of hot-button racial issues. His reputation took a blow in 1987 when he was the spokesman for Tawana Bradley, an African-American teenager who accused a group of white men of rape -- a charge a grand jury deemed a hoax. In later years Sharpton has refashioned himself as a more mature spokesman for the downtrodden. He ran unsuccessfully for president of the United States in 2004.

In this video, Eileen Mignoni tells the story of an immigrant family struggling with the arrest of their son, John. According to Mignoni, "an estimated 35,000 people were placed in detention proceedings during 2008, many of them through the efforts of local law-enforcement agencies that partner with the Department of Homeland Security to detain and remove illegal aliens. That means immigration proceedings disrupted an estimated 122,500 lives in the U.S last year."

Instead of focusing on a Water Charity this Tuesday, we chose nonprofit organization Project WET. This organization focuses on water education through reaching out to teachers, community members, children, and parents in the United States and around the world. Project WET achieves this goal through publishing informative water materials in different languages, creating school curriculum for different age groups, and sponsoring trainings around the world. Project WET also organizes community water events such as the Global Water Education Village. This event is held every three years at the World Water Forum, the last one was held in Istanbul, Turkey. The goal of the Global Water Education Village is to discuss local actions in water education that are successful at reaching children.
Project WET is committed to reaching out to audiences around the world and in ushering water education into the twenty-first century. Most recently, Project WET has teamed up with the National Park Service. In a press release issued on June 22, 2011, Project WET and the National Park Service announced that they would be collaborating on an educational series titled, "Discover the Waters of Our National Parks." This science based program will include hands-on activities, videos, special workshops, online courses, guides and an internet portal. Project WET President, Dennis Nelson stated, "Water connects our national parks to each other and to the people of the United States through the water cycle, making national parks a perfect springboard for educating people about water." This project is going be launched at select national parks within the next year, so keep a look out at your local park!
Project WET's website offers lots of links for parents, educators, corporations and museums. If you want to get involved, there are plenty of avenues for that, too. Of course, you can donate on their secure website in any amount you choose, but you can also choose some more innovative ways as well. For example, you can sponsor a classroom and provide a Water and Sustainability Kit which includes copies of various activity and educational booklets for every child. If you want to be more hands on, you can train to become a Project WET facilitator. After completing the course, you can deliver workshops to teachers and educators in your area. A great way to get involved in your community for a worthy cause!
So this week, Project WET is our pick for a great water focused organization. If you're a teacher, parent or just someone interested in making a difference through water education, be sure to check out Project WET!

This month, it begins. The torrential onslaught and ceaseless marketing. The inane. The benign. The insipid. The expired. The end of rational consumption as we know it.
I speak none other than breast cancer PINK nausea!
Yes, at the stroke of midnight on October 1st, everything that has a pulse, a price tag or both will magically pumpkin-ize itself into a pink colored cause-branded premium with "a portion" (always "a portion" - what does that mean anyway?) of the proceeds going to none other than our friends at the omnipresent, megalithic establishment known as the Susan G. Komen For The Cure Foundation. Ahhh...let's all use our five senses at once. Ready?
PINK! See it, feel it, hear it, touch it and smell it. PINK! It's here and it reminds me of the" Nothing" from The Neverending Story. As we brace for the category five Hurricane Pink, let us take a step back and wax poetic on all that we have to look forward to this month besides our pink Cheerios.
Lo and behold just when you think there isn't enough to discuss, here comes the latest in a continued exploitation of the color of all eternity. Forget those pink ramen noodles. Apparently I wasn't creatively disparaging enough to even conceive that there could possibly ever be – get this – a pink Nintendo DS and pink Purina cat food!
So PINK nausea is in full force (it actually started before October even got here!). It's like Halloween in August, Thanksgiving in September, Christmas in October. Seriously- ENOUGH already! Jeez...
Last year our senior Oncospondant (yes you read that right) Kairol Rosenthal wrote an amazing essay about how Halloween was pissed off at pink for hijacking it's month's typically orange monopoly. Now Halloween has some competition from the north. Evidently this reverse cause-creep where the PINK nausea is rearing its ludicrous head two weeks early is contaminating September which is National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month – whose color is TEAL! Those women are mad as all get out that the month they struggled so hard to get for their cause is being encroached upon. So now teal is joining orange against pink.
Now if we're going to think of this as a competition, which we clearly shouldn't but let's just do it for argument's sake, ovarian cancer is one of the most deadly of women's cancers, much worse than breast cancer as far as all that screening, early detection and prevention crap. Plus their survival rates are way down in the dumps. Each year, approximately 21,500 women will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer and approximately 15,500 women will die. Okay - that's like a 40 percent survival rate on average, which SUCKS!
Therefore in an effort to help put the teal back in September where pink is creeping in, we're going to be featuring a truly engaging individual in our forthcoming survivor spotlight segment who is an ovarian cancer survivor who wants to take back her month. You will soon hear from her in our attempt to honor the hard work and noble efforts of the ovarian cancer movement.
So thank you Nintendo and Purina for unimaginatively selling out yet again to the most obvious thing possible. Never mind that 90 percent of your customers are young adults who need your help much more than the PINK nausea movement. There's more to life than shady cause marketing and exploiting consumer trust.
Rock on,
Matthew Zachary, CEO of the I'm Too Young For This! Cancer Foundation (i[2]y)
I'm Too Young For This! Cancer Foundation (i[2]y) is a pioneering, survivor-led, advocacy, support and research organization, working exclusively on behalf of survivors and care providers under the age of 40. Its mission is to end isolation and improve quality of life for young adults affected by cancer.

These photos came out good.
According to the proper usage of well and good, the former would be describing the quality of the taking and developing of the photo; the latter would be describing the state of the photo as a finished product.

Andrew M. Cuomo, re-elected the 56th Governor of New York State on November 6, 2018, has a lifelong commitment to public service and the proven leadership skills to make government work for the people of the state.

New York once again stands as a beacon of hope and opportunity for the entire nation. Under the leadership of Governor Andrew M.

Barbarians at the Gate?
Warrior Politics: Why Leadership Demands a Pagan Ethos
The contemporary situation in global politics has no precedent since the age of the later Roman emperors. It is not just the military domination of the world by a single nation. Nor is it even the awesome reach of its power, for example, having an air command center in Saudi Arabia able to deliver B-52 strikes on a mountaintop in Afghanistan within nineteen minutes of receiving target coordinates from Special Forces on the ground.1 Nor is it just the punishment inflicted on al-Qaeda. Even if Osama bin Laden lives to fight another day, he and his clique will no longer be under the illusion, created by the American retreat from Somalia in 1993, that the empire lacks the stomach for a fight.
The Roman parallels are evident—Robert Kaplan often mentions them in his new book—with the difference that the Romans were untroubled by their imperial destiny, while the Americans have had an empire since Teddy Roosevelt yet persist in believing they do not. But the real parallel with late Rome is that overwhelming military superiority does not translate into security. Mastery of the known world does not confer peace of mind.
America has now felt the tremor of dread that the ancient world must have known when Rome was first sacked. Then and now an imperial people has come awake to the menace of the barbarians. Just beyond the zone of stable democratic states, which took the World Trade Center and the Pentagon as its headquarters, there are the border zones, like Afghanistan, where barbarians rule and from where, thanks to modern technology, they can inflict devastating damage on centers of power far away. Retribution has been visited on the barbarians, and more will follow, but the American military knows it has begun a campaign without an obvious end in sight. The most carefree and confident empire in history now grimly confronts the question of whether it can escape Rome's ultimate fate.
The likelihood that Osama bin Laden managed to escape airborne Armageddon in Tora Bora only illustrates how elusive any final victory against the barbarians will prove to be. Further pacification operations, covert or overt, are being planned for the Philippines, Yemen, Somalia, and Sudan. Al-Qaeda's attempts to launder financial assets have been traced to the Lebanese business circles that control the export of diamonds from Sierra Leone, Liberia, Angola, and the Congo.2 There are likely to be cells to root out in the Philippines and Indonesia.
Barbarism is not new. Neither is fanaticism. What is new is that the barbarians have exploited a global ideology—Islam—that gives them an apparently bottomless supply of recruits and allies in a global war. They have also exploited global civil society and its values—mobility and freedom, as well as its technologies—to take war to the heart of the empire.
While the apocalyptic nihilists who carried out the attack of September 11 were barbarians in the strict moral sense of the term, it is not as easy to apply the word…

London Broncos have signed Shane Grady on a two-year contract from Australian side Thirroul Butchers.
The centre will join the Broncos for the 2013 season after his impressive performances in the Illawarra Carlton League have seen him play representative games for both the league and the NSW country Origin side.
Former Broncos hooker Shane Millard proved pivotal in the move and Grady cannot wait to train with his new side.
"I would like to thank Shane Millard for the role he has played in making this happen," he said.
"Growing up I've always wanted to play in the Super League and now I'm going to get my chance with a great club.
"I'm stoked to of joined London Broncos, and now I can't wait to start training."
The former Widnes Vikings player is the first Broncos signing ahead of the 2013 season and head coach Rob Powell is excited to see Grady in action.
"We're looking forward to getting Shane on board; he's been on the radar for a while after impressing in the New South Wales competition," he added.
"We're excited that he's coming down to London and looking to kick on to the next level."

CAMDEN, N.J.—The Harvard heavyweight varsity, second varsity and freshman eights each won their semifinals Friday at the IRA National Championships, advancing to the grand final in each race in their pursuit of a national championship.
Harvard enters the final day of the national regatta unbeaten in each of three eights and will also race in the open four grand final. The Crimson varsity eight came from behind to knock off previously unbeaten, top-seeded Washington and will seek Harvard's 10th official national championship Saturday. The Crimson has also won eight unofficial national titles.
The varsity win came despite adversity before and during the race. The Crimson's boat suffered a broken skeg on the way to the start, requiring a quick repair job. Harvard stood in fourth place, six seats down to leader Washington in the second 500 meters, but stormed past Stanford, Wisconsin and, finally, the Huskies. The win left Harvard with the only unbeaten varsity eight in the nation.
Racing in another strong tailwind but with fewer crosswinds than Thursday, the Crimson posted a blistering time of 5:25.889, 1.7 seconds ahead of Washington and more than three seconds faster than California's winning time in the first varsity semifinal. Wisconsin topped Stanford for the final qualifying spot in Harvard's heat, while Brown and Princeton also made the grand final.
"We just rallied. We stuck to our rhythm," said junior five-seat Matthew Edstein. "If we could take our second half of the race today and then take a first half that's much stronger off the start, like we had at Sprints, to put a perfect race together, we should be happy tomorrow. It's just a matter of doing that. We think we've definitely got room to improve on our start, so that's always encouraging."
The Crimson second varsity was in third place in the early-going and second, four seats behind Wisconsin, after 1,000 meters. The second half of the race, however, belonged to Harvard, as the Crimson passed the Badgers and went on to finish in 5:41.800. Wisconsin and Princeton also advanced to the grand final. Washington, Cal and Cornell moved on from the other semifinal.
The Harvard, Washington and Cornell freshmen were first off the line, with the Crimson and Huskies distancing themselves from the field soon after. Harvard built a four-seat lead in the second 500 meters and was in a comfortable position to advance through the second 1,000. The Huskies challenged the Crimson for the race win, but Harvard hung on to win by one-third of a second. Boston University took the final qualifying spot in that race, with Cal, Princeton and Brown advancing from the second semifinal.
Saturday's schedule for the Crimson heavyweights starts with the varsity four third-level final at 7:45 a.m. and concludes with the varsity eight grand final at 12:15 p.m. Washington, Cal and Princeton join Harvard as teams with three eights in grand finals.

- "Be OK," Ingrid Michaelson
I can't believe it's almost 2010. What a crazy year it has been. And in the spirit of the New Year, I'm going to make this post a confessional, well, I guess, more so than usual.
I had anticipated taking a leave of absence winter semester. A lot of this semester has been spent getting advice and making decisions. And ultimately, I won't be taking leave from my PhD program after all.
There was just no way to secure both money and health insurance, and I can't really afford to be without either. And the alternative, of having health insurance covered, but having to apply for emergency grants while waiting for my SSDI paperwork to be processed, was not really a viable option. I fear that this situation would have put far more stress on me than staying where I'm at and doing the best with what I've got. This decision hasn't been easy. But the prospect of filing for Disability at the age of 24 makes me cringe.
This is something I wrote, anticipating taking leave, and I thought it was important to share:
I need some time to regroup, (re)evaluate my priorities, and take stock of all that I've lost and gained in the last two and a half years. Because right now, most of what I'm seeing is the bad. And a lot has happened in a very short time, but not all of it has been bad.
For the first time in awhile, I'm not making the safe choice. I'm not staying in a situation that makes me unhappy because it's easier to stay than to go. I'm letting go of everyone's expectations, including my own, knowing that I will come out stronger, more focused and more determined, on the other side.
A lot of people have said, but you want your PhD, of course you're going to finish. But at this point, I'm not sure that will happen. If I find that I am so happy being outside of this environment, maybe I won't continue. I do want to get my PhD, I want to finish what I started, but not if it is both physically and emotionally detrimental…
So I'm not going to sit here and make false promises that I will take a semester off and come back refreshed and renewed. The time away may give me clarity that I have to go in another direction. It's easy for people on the outside to make suggestions and give advice, but until you're in a graduate program, you don't know how much of a life commitment it is.
So, I guess I'll have to find my clarity elsewhere… Okay, so here goes the confessional:
1. The combination of a friend in the program dying and my own hospitalization made me realize that this is not the life I desire. And this is not an environment I will be able to thrive in, given my health issues. I think that this is something I had known for awhile, but that I wasn't really ready to admit to myself. But now that I have, I feel much better about my future in the program, a future that will hopefully be constructed on my terms.
2. In my recent posts on marriage and children, I've come to realize that these parts of my life are going to be complicated by illness. I don't need them to be further complicated by a job that doesn't allow me the flexibility to have a life outside of academia. I don't think this makes me traditional… or a failure… In fact, such "epiphanies" have taken a lot of the pressure off of me. I no longer desire to compete for the top jobs, fellowships, etc., because I know I can't. And I'm okay with that. I've realized that having a family is more important to me than I may have let on, and that in order to make those things happen, I can't be in an environment like the one I'm in right now.
3. I have these really disturbing dreams where all my teeth fall out. Or my hair falls out. And I realize that this is symbolic. These are visible signs of illness. I get scared because everyone seems to think that my hair is one of my best features. But hair falls out. Lupus can make your hair fall out. Drugs can make your hair fall out. Hair gets gray and white. Hair is transient. I want to be something more than my hair.
4. Along similar lines, I confess that I've saved every prescription bottle for the last two years. My therapist, who I admitted this to recently, assured me that this is a "normal" coping mechanism for me. And that he's not concerned. He says I'll get rid of the bottles when I don't need them anymore, when I have the recognition that I'm seeking. I guess when my illnesses mean something to more than just me. But I'm really scared that I'm never going to get it… The bottles are the tangible embodiment of my illnesses. Because most of the time, I look fine. They are the only reminder that anything is amiss. Of course my friends and my family acknowledge what is going on. But I worry that none of them really get it. Yes, I am more than my illnesses. But I am also a different person because of them.
5. I hate to remember the look on my parents' faces, when they saw me in the hospital for the first time. Or the sound of my friend's voice on the phone, when she finally got to talk to me. There was fear, but there was also a sense of helplessness, that even I as the patient, did not have. I'm sure I looked and sounded half dead. I certainly felt like I had been put through the ringer. And what I fear the most is that this is only the first in a long line of hospital stays in the name of "complications from lupus."
6. I've become so hell-bent on giving people second chances that don't deserve them. I've convinced myself that I shouldn't begrudge other people their baggage when I have so much of my own. But in the end, I'm the one who ends up getting hurt. And all I'm left with are lame platitudes that don't mean shit. How's that for honesty and openness?
7. I can't listen to the song "I'll Be," by Edwin McCain, without crying. Literally, every time. And I haven't listened to Eric Clapton since, well, you know…
In the past few months, I have experienced some of my lowest points ever. I have cried more than I think I have in the last 23 years of my life combined. And at this point, I don't think there's a place I haven't cried (coffee shops, the grocery store, etc.). I'm okay with this, but I think that for some people in my life, it is cause for concern. I'd be more worried if I couldn't cry, if I hadn't shown emotion towards all that has happened. People have died, people have walked out of my life, I survived my first lupus hospitalization. And when I think of all that has happened, I cry, because I'm not quite sure how I'm still standing.
More than remembering the things that have happened, I have accumulated an immense amount of baggage. And I think it is all illness-related baggage because everything in my life is intertwined with it. Along with the baggage, there are also holes. Holes in my heart, holes in my life that I'm desperately trying to fill. It's a strange combination to be trying to shed layers and fill holes. And to think that every time I get hurt, I can't get more hurt. And then I do…

Pity the Potato: The Humble Spud Falls From Grace in the U.S.
Consumption Declines as Americans Cook Less and Fear Carbs
The potato has had a great run for most of the past five centuries. But these days, the humble spud has fallen on hard times.
A darling of American dinner tables since before the nation's founding, potatoes have lost favor in the U.S. for the past two decades. Consumers have shunned the starchy side dish in a race away from carbohydrates and toward greater convenience, two factors driving broad changes in how Americans eat.

Health Care Priorities
As Washington debates a big increase in federal health care spending, I came across these two articles on what a splendid job the government is doing managing its current health programs.
Harvard professor Malcolm Sparrow recently testified that roughly $100 billion or more of Medicare and Medicaid dollars go down the drain each year due to fraud. It's easy to rip these programs off because of their vast size and electronic claims processing. Medicare processes more than 1 billion of claims each year.
This Washington Post article last year described one particular example of the fraud. A high‐school drop‐out managed to bilk Medicare out of $105 million by submitting a 140,000 false claims from her laptop computer.
So we've got $100 billion or so of taxpayer's hard‐earned money being stolen each year from our current public health care plans. You would think that with today's giant budget deficit that the highest priority of policymakers would be to reform these programs to reduce the unbelievable and disgusting amounts of graft. But no, many in Congress and President Obama have decided that current government health care works so well that they want to expand it.
President Obama wants to create a new "public health option" to "keep insurance companies honest." Hey Mr. President, you should do something about the $100 billion of dishonesty in current public health plans, instead of hitting up taxpayers to fund an even more bloated health care budget.
