When the U.S. women's Solheim Cup team lost in Sweden last September, it
made a frustrating footnote for American team golf: For the first time
ever, American golfers were not in possession of either the Solheim Cup
or the Ryder Cup. And coming on top of the loss of the Walker Cup in
men's amateur competition a week earlier, it meant that there was a very
serious silver shortage on this side of the Atlantic, with only the
Curtis Cup still hoisted by American hands.
If this were kindergarten,
we know what the teacher would have written at the bottom of the report
card of each member of the defeated American golf teams: "Does not play
well with others..."
Lord knows, anything is possible in golf, and maybe this epidemic of
foreign victories over American golf teams is just one of those
solar-lunar eclipses that happens in sports. Or maybe not. I think there
is a message here -- there is an explanation for this epidemic -- but it has
to do with political science, not swing science.
But before I get to what I think is behind this trend, let me start by
getting rid of the things I don't think explain it. I don't think it has
to do with the fact that some European golfers come from countries where
team competitions -- either four-ball or other varieties -- are stressed from
an early age at the club level and in junior competitions.
In the latest
Ryder and Solheim Cups, it was in the singles competition where the
Americans got trounced, with the winning putt at The Belfry being made
by -- save this one for Trivial Pursuit -- Irishman Paul McGinley. McGinley
made an eight-foot par putt to take a half point from future U.S. Open
winner Jim Furyk, rivaling the victory of his teammate Welshman Phillip
Price -- someone even Trivial Pursuit wouldn't make you remember. He closed
out Phil Mickelson, 3 and 2, with a 25-foot putt.
Something is going on here. No question, with so many European men and
women college and professional golfers now playing full-time in the U.S.,
the parity between us and them has become closer and closer. And you
know the line -- "These guys [and gals] are good," so on any given day
anyone can beat anyone else at the professional level.
But that's what
makes this trend so interesting. If there is now real parity between
European and American golfers, why is it that the Europeans seem to be
winning these team matches so much more often? It must have to do with
something intangible.
To get to the bottom of this, one must start by acknowledging the fact
that team golf is an utterly artificial concept -- as artificial as "team
bowling" or "team archery." Golf is an individual sport, even when it is
forced into a team format, and therefore success is about individual
motivation. So to me the real question is: Why are the individual
players on the European teams so much more motivated to win than their
American counterparts -- so motivated that even their nobodies keep beating
America's world-ranked somebodies?
The answer is politics -- at many levels. Outside of the Olympics, "For
Americans, sports are not a vehicle for nationalism and national pride,
the way sports have become in modern Europe," says Michael Mandelbaum,
professor of American foreign policy at Johns Hopkins, who deals with
this exact issue in his book, "The Meaning of Sports: Why Americans Watch
Baseball, Football and Basketball and What They See When They Do." "Our
first national sport was baseball, but for us the 'World Series' is a
competition between two American teams. It is a competition with
ourselves." The same in the NBA and the NFL, where the Super Bowl is
played only with American teams and we speak about the "world-champion"
Detroit Pistons, when the only people they beat were in Los Angeles or
The most popular sports in Europe, however, are soccer, rugby and
cricket, and all of them have real global competitions, where each
country's national pride is at stake.
"Competition between different
national soccer teams in Europe has become, for Europeans, their modern
substitute for war and the main vehicle for nationalist expression," Mandelbaum adds. "At a time when they are losing sovereignty to the
European Union and power to the rest of the world, soccer is where the
last vestiges of the most powerful sentiment in the
world-nationalism get channeled in Europe. In fact, soccer is the major
cause of national violence in Europe. It is the only thing that
Europeans will riot about anymore."
It was no accident, therefore, that after the last Ryder Cup, Europe's
team captain, Sam Torrance, confessed about who he went to most for
advice on how to mold a European team: Sir Alex Ferguson, the manager of
the famed Manchester United soccer team, and Sven-Goran Eriksson,
manager of England's national soccer team.
In other words, European teams are winning more not because they come
from a tradition of four-ball, but because they come from a tradition of
one-ball: Soccer -- a tradition where national identity is much more at
stake in sports competitions.
Then add to that what I would call their 15th club: "The Jesse James
Factor." Everyone wanted to say they shot Jesse James. Well, America
today is Jesse James. We are the biggest, richest, fastest draw on the
block. Everyone measures themselves against us, everyone gets up to play
us, and everyone wants to beat our brains in. If we beat them it means
much less than if they beat us.
In short, America is to the world, what
Tiger Woods has been to the rest of the PGA Tour -- the man to beat, the
one worth bragging about. (This Jesse James factor also works in
reverse: When the American soccer team did really well by reaching the
quarterfinals in the World Cup competition in 2002, most Americans
barely noticed, but everyone in Europe did.)
Anyone who has watched a Ryder Cup match knows that Americans and
American players also get up for them, but, I would argue, with one huge,
huge difference. I would call it: "The Mark Calcavecchia Factor." The
European side desperately wants to win because their identities will be
nourished by it. American teams desperately don't want to lose, not
because they want to win so badly -- it doesn't mean that much to them -- but
because they don't want to face the ridicule of losing badly.
"The War by the Shore," the 1991 Ryder Cup at Kiawah Island? Bernhard
Langer missed that six-footer to retain the Cup, but it barely affected
his career and certainly not his self-image. Mark Calcavecchia, by
contrast, lost the last four holes to Colin Montgomerie to halve their
match, and he went into a meltdown in Kiawah and afterward. Langer was
sad. Calcavecchia was nearly suicidal -- and his team eventually won!
reason Calcavecchia was so despondent was because he knew the enduring
truth of this trans-Atlantic competition: The Americans are remembered
if they lose. The Europeans are remembered if they win. And Calc did not
want to be remembered.
That is the 15th club that the Europeans bring to every match. The more
equal in ability and training the two sides become, the more this extra
club matters. Because, as we all know, golf at the highest professional
level is 90 percent about what is happening between the ears. And
because of America's relationship to the world, there is much more
pressure between the ears of the American team golfers not to lose than
there is on the European team golfers to win.
It just takes that tiny
intangible, just that whisper of politics in your backswing, and all
sorts of strange things can happen.

If you're considering getting a breast lift procedure, you may be contemplating how your new shape will affect your life, including the overall shape of your body. Perhaps you've even thought about how you can enhance the overall look of your breast lift procedure, like losing more weight or contouring your body to highlight your new breasts.
But before you hop on that scale, it's important to consider that making sudden changes to your body may not be the best thing to do before a breast lift procedure. Here's what you need to know about your weight and other important information before a breast lift procedure:
- Losing Weight: You should already be at the ideal weight before undergoing a breast lift procedure. That means you shouldn't be overweight for your height, nor should you be too thin. It's all about achieving balance; this way, you can ensure that you won't encounter any complications while you're on the operating table. So if you're currently overweight for your height, consider getting your BMI into that "ideal" zone.
- Medication: During the consultation phase, you should ensure that you let your doctor know what medications you're on. This includes any antibiotics, oral medications, birth control, topical medications, and even herbal supplements and vitamins you may be taking. This can let your plastic surgeon know if any of your medications may interact with the anesthesia you may need during your procedure. What's more, you should avoid taking ibuprofen and aspirin before and after your breast lift procedure; your plastic surgeon will tell you more about the dangers of taking these over-the-counter pain pills.
- Expectations: It's critical for patients to have reasonable expectations as to what they'll look like after the breast lift. Even after the breast lift procedure, you may not experience the same elasticity that you had when you were younger. As long as you have these realistic expectations, you should be pleased with the overall results of your procedure.
In some cases, you may be able to undergo a breast lift procedure without utilizing breast implants. Frederic Corbin, MD has developed a unique procedure that allows him to reshape and lift the breasts without requiring the insertion of implants. Patients who have drooping breasts with less volume may be ideal for this procedure.

After this, we''l be going back to our usual historical re-fights, with Borodino getting the guernsey for 2014. I've put up my hand for IV Corps as I've already painted up units of the Italian Royal Guard. To these I'll be adding some extra figures, as well as a new unit; the Conscripts of the Guard. Then I'll have lots more French line and light infantry to paint, as well as a couple of exotics, namely the 1st Provisional Croat Regiment and the Joseph-Napoleon Regiment; the regiment of Spaniards who missed out on repatriation to Spain from the Baltic coast and found themselves at the other end of Europe fighting for the despoiler of their homeland.
For these, I'll be using HaT's light infantry sets 8219, 8251, 8252 and their trusty (if chunky!) line infantry set 8095. I'll probably use the Italeri French post 1812 infantry and the wonderful Schilling metal figures, though I still haven't decided how to incorporate elites into those units, as the Schilling figures are just fusiliers. I'll probably see how the Italeri elites stack up next to the Schillings once painted.
The experimental conversion of a French chasseur in a previous post is related to this project as well. I'm not sure if I'll be able to go to the expense and trouble of converting 4 regiments' worth of figures or if I'll have to find another option for Bavarian Chevaux-Leger. I might be reduced to buying HaT's Bavarian cavalry, even though they aren't to my taste.

Huntington Beach has created an easy-to-read list of top city officials' salaries online, including benefits and two forgivable loans given to the city administrator and police chief for housing costs to move to Huntington Beach.
The city has long posted city officials' base salaries online, but after a Los Angeles Times investigation revealed top city officials in Bell were making exorbitant salaries, including nearly $800,000 a year for the city manager, Surf City, along with others, has made the information easier to access than ever, said Laurie Payne, city spokeswoman.
This month the city posted a list of executive management's annual figures, including salary, any auto allowance and benefits for council members, department directors and other top officials.

Q. Where were the Confederate soldiers buried?
A. The Confederate soldiers were buried somewhere on or near the battlefield.
Q. Why is the burial site for the Confederate dead not marked on the park brochure?
A. There is no surviving record to the exact location of the graves.
Q. Why were the Confederate soldiers not buried in the National Cemetery?
A. In July 1862, Congress passed legislation giving the President of the United States the authority to purchase land for the establishment of cemeteries "for soldiers who shall die in the service of their country". This legislation effectively began the National Cemetery System. It was determined that as the Confederate soldiers were fighting in rebellion, they would not be allowed to be buried in the National Cemetery.
Q. Is the fort still here?
A. Yes, it is tour stop 2 on the park tour map. You will see the remains of most of the fort's earthen wall.
Q. What can I do while at Fort Donelson?
A. We recommend that you start at the visitor center. Here, those learning about the story for the first time can view a brief and powerful film about the Fort Henry/ Fort Donelson campaign and some of the personalities involved. A museum contains a timeline of the campaign and some powerful words and artifacts. You can then embark on an auto tour of the park...there are eleven stops.
Q. Do Rangers offer guided tours of the park?
A. For much of the year, limited staffing unfortunately prohibits us from offering such a service. During the summer months we occassionally staff some of the tour stops and, when possible, offer "caravan tours" of the park.
Q: I may have a relative who fought at Fort Donelson. How can I learn more about him?
A:A good place to start would be the National Park Service's "Soldiers and Sailors" website, which lists all known participants, often accompanied by unit. It can be found here: https://www.nps.gov/civilwar/soldiers-and-sailors-database.htm
Beyond that, it is possible to research individual units. A "formal" list of those Confederates surrendered or killed in action is not known to survive. A project is underway to build a master troop list to assist such requests and preserve the memories and stories of the participants from the Fort Henry/ Fort Donelson campaign.
Q. Are there any trails to explore at Fort Donelson?
A. Yes! There are trails that connect the visitor center area to the river batteries, and trails that connect the Fort to the National Cemetery and the visitor center. Dogs are welcome on paved roads and trails and must be leashed.
(When exploring the trails in the spring, summer and fall, please protect yourself with appropriate insect repellent.)
Q. Are the cannons real?
A. Yes, the cannons are real cannons from the Mexican War and Civil War period. The three guns at the Upper Battery are fiberglass reproductions. Carriages are a mix between early 20th century and modern reproductions.
Q. Were they here during the battle?
A. No, the cannons are the type and caliber that was here.
Q. Where is Fort Henry?
A. Fort Henry was located 12 miles west of Fort Donelson on the east bank of the Tennessee River.
Q. Does Fort Henry have a Visitor Center?
A. No, Fort Henry was located in low ground along the Tennessee River, and flooded during the battle. Kentucky Lake was constructed following TVA projects in the 1930s and 1940s and the fort was completely covered by water with the creation of the lake.
Q. Did Black Troops fight at Fort Donelson?
A. Black men enlisted as soldiers at Fort Donelson in mid-1863; however, they saw no combat action at the fort. Instead, they served as scouts or guards.
Q. Why is the fort named Fort Donelson?
A. The fort is named for Daniel S. Donelson, Brigadier General of the Tennessee State Militia and descendant of Rachel Donelson Jackson, Andrew Jackson's wife.
Q. Do you offer reenactments of the Battle of Fort Donelson?
A. The park often hosts encampments highlighting the stories of some of the military units that served here. Encampments can help us understand what life was like for a soldier in this theatre of the war. We treat the remains of Fort Donelson and the battlefield as a very special place. National Park Service policy prohibits reenactments or any type of simulated warfare per se in order to preserve the special lands. You can learn more here. https://www.nps.gov/nero/reenactor/reenactor.pdf
You may also look here for some additional histories of the park, and facets of the Battle of Fort Donelson.
Here is a thorough chronology of the American Civil War, day by day, from 1861 through 1865. We hope you find it useful.

For the first time, U.S. officials acknowledge that in 1965 they systematically compiled comprehensive lists of Communist operatives, from top echelons down to village cadres. As many as 5,000 names were furnished to the Indonesian army, and the Americans later checked off the names of those who had been killed or captured, according to the U.S. officials.
The killings were part of a massive bloodletting that took an estimated 250,000 lives.
The purge of the Partai Komunis Indonesia (PKI) was part of a U.S. drive to ensure that Communists did not come to power in the largest country in Southeast Asia, where the United States was already fighting an undeclared war in Vietnam. Indonesia is the fifth most-populous country in the world.
Silent for a quarter-century, former senior U.S. diplomats and CIA officers described in lengthy interviews how they aided Indonesian President Suharto, then army leader, in his attack on the PKI.
"It really was a big help to the army," said Robert J. Martens, a former member of the U.S. Embassy's political section who is now a consultant to the State Department. "They probably killed a lot of people, and I probably have a lot of blood on my hands, but that's not all bad. There's a time when you have to strike hard at a decisive moment."
White House and State Department spokesmen declined comment on the disclosures.
Although former deputy CIA station chief Joseph Lazarsky and former diplomat Edward Masters, who was Martens' boss, said CIA agents contributed in drawing up the death lists, CIA spokesman Mark Mansfield said, "There is no substance to the allegation that the CIA was involved in the preparation and/or distribution of a list that was used to track down and kill PKI members. It is simply not true."
Indonesian Embassy spokesman Makarim Wibisono said he had no personal knowledge of events described by former U.S. officials. "In terms of fighting the Communists, as far as I'm concerned, the Indonesian people fought by themselves to eradicate the Communists," he said.
Martens, an experienced analyst of communist affairs, headed an embassy group of State Department and CIA officers that spent two years compiling the lists. He later delivered them to an army intermediary.
People named on the lists were captured in overwhelming numbers, Martens said, adding, "It's a big part of the reason the PKI has never come back."
The PKI was the third-largest Communist Party in the world, with an estimated 3 million members. Through affiliated organizations such as labor and youth groups it claimed the loyalties of another 17 million.
In 1966 the Washington Post published an estimate that 500,000 were killed in the purge and the brief civil war it triggered. In a 1968 report, the CIA estimated there had been 250,000 deaths, and called the carnage "one of the worst mass murders of the 20th century."
Declassified embassy cables and State Department reports from early October 1965, before the names were turned over, show that U.S. officials knew Suharto had begun roundups of PKI cadres, and that the embassy had unconfirmed reports that firing squads were being formed to kill PKI prisoners.
Former CIA Director William Colby, in an interview, compared the embassy's campaign to identify the PKI leadership to the CIA's Phoenix Program in Vietnam. In 1965, Colby was the director of the CIA's Far East division and was responsible for directing U.S. covert strategy in Asia.
"That's what I set up in the Phoenix Program in Vietnam -- that I've been kicked around for a lot," he said. "That's exactly what it was. It was an attempt to identify the structure" of the Communist Party.
Phoenix was a joint U.S.-South Vietnamese program set up by the CIA in December 1967 that aimed at neutralizing members of the National Liberation Front, the Vietcong political cadres. It was widely criticized for alleged human rights abuses.
In 1962, when he took over as chief of the CIA's Far East division, Colby said he discovered the United States did not have comprehensive lists of PKI activists. Not having the lists "could have been criticized as a gap in the intelligence system," he said, adding they were useful for "operation planning" and provided a picture of how the party was organized. Without such lists, he said, "you're fighting blind."
Asked if the CIA had been responsible for sending Martens, a foreign service officer, to Jakarta in 1963 to compile the lists, Colby said, "Maybe, I don't know. Maybe we did it. I've forgotten."
The lists were a detailed who's-who of the leadership of the party of 3 million members, Martens said. They included names of provincial, city and other local PKI committee members, and leaders of the "mass organizations," such as the PKI national labor federation, women's and youth groups.
Masters, the embassy's political section chief, said he believed the army had lists of its own, but they were not as comprehensive as the American lists. He said he could not remember whether the decision to release the names had been cleared with Washington.
The lists were turned over piecemeal, Martens said, beginning at the top of the communist organization. Martens supplied thousands of names to an Indonesian emissary over a number of months, he said. The emissary was an aide to Adam Malik, an Indonesian minister who was an ally of Suharto in the attack on the Communists.
Interviewed in Jakarta, the aide, Tirta Kentjana ("Kim") Adhyatman, confirmed he had met with Martens and received lists of thousands of names, which he in turn gave to Malik. Malik passed them on to Suharto's headquarters, he said.
Information about who had been captured and killed came from Suharto's headquarters, according to Joseph Lazarsky, deputy CIA station chief in Jakarta in 1965. Suharto's Jakarta headquarters was the central collection point for military reports from around the country detailing the capture and killing of PKI leaders, Lazarsky said.
"We were getting a good account in Jakarta of who was being picked up," Lazarsky said. "The army had a 'shooting list' of about 4,000 or 5,000 people."
Detention centers were set up to hold those who were not killed immediately.
"They didn't have enough goon squads to zap them all, and some individuals were valuable for interrogation," Lazarsky said. "The infrastructure was zapped almost immediately. We knew what they were doing. We knew they would keep a few and save them for the kangaroo courts, but Suharto and his advisers said, if you keep them alive, you have to feed them."
Masters, the chief of the political section, said, "We had these lists" constructed by Martens, "and we were using them to check off what was happening to the party, what the effect" of the killings "was on it."
Lazarsky said the checkoff work was also carried out at the CIA's intelligence directorate in Washington.
"No one cared, as long as they were Communists, that they were being butchered," said Howard Federspiel, who in 1965 was the Indonesia expert at the State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research. "No one was getting very worked up about it."
Asked about the checkoffs, Colby said, "We came to the conclusion that with the sort of Draconian way it was carried out, it really set them" -- the communists -- "back for years."
Asked if he meant the checkoffs were proof that the PKI leadership
had been caught or killed, he said, "Yeah, yeah, that's right, ...
the leading elements, yeah."
To the Editors:
I very much admired Ms. Laber's piece on Indonesian politics and the origins of the Soeharto regime. In connection with her assertion that little is known about a CIA (or US) role in the 1965 coup and the army massacre that followed, I would like to make your readers aware of a compelling body of evidence about this that is publicly available, but the public access to it is little known.
It consists of a series of on-the-record, taped interviews with the men who headed the US embassy in Jakarta or were at high levels in Washington agencies in 1965. I published a news story based on the interviews in The Washington Post ("U.S. Officials' Lists Aided Indonesian Bloodbath in '60s," May 21, 1990), and have since transferred the tapes, my notes, and a small collection of documents, including a few declassified cables on which the story was based, to the National Security Archive in Washington, D.C. The Archive is a nongovernmental research institute and library, located at the George Washington University.
The former officials interviewed included Ambassador Marshall Green, Deputy Chief of Mission Jack Lydman, Political Counsellor (later Ambassador) Edward E. Masters, Robert Martens (an analyst of the Indonesian left working under Masters' supervision), and (then) director of the Central Intelligence Agency's Far East division, William Colby.
The tapes, along with notes of conversations, show that the United States furnished critical intelligence -- the names of thousands of leftist activists, both Communist and non-Communist -- to the Indonesian Army that were then used in the bloody manhunt.
There were other details that illustrate the depth of US involvement and culpability in the killings which I learned from former top-level embassy officials, but have not previously published. For example, the US provided key logistical equipment, hastily shipped in at the last minute as Soeharto weighed the risky decision to attack. Jeeps were supplied by the Pentagon to speed troops over Indonesia's notoriously bad roads, along with "dozens and dozens" of field radios that the Army lacked. As Ms. Laber noted, the US (namely, the Pentagon) also supplied "arms." Cables show these were small arms, used for killing at close range.
The supply of radios is perhaps the most telling detail. They served not only as field communications but also became an element of a broad, US intelligence-gathering operation constructed as the manhunt went forward. According to a former embassy official, the Central Intelligence Agency hastily provided the radios -- state-of-the-art Collins KWM-2s, high-frequency single-sideband transceivers, the highest-powered mobile unit available at that time to the civilian and commercial market. The radios, stored at Clark Field in the Philippines, were secretly flown by the US Air Force into Indonesia. They were then distributed directly to Soeharto's headquarters -- called by its acronym KOSTRAD -- by Pentagon representatives. The radios plugged a major hole in Army communications: at that critical moment, there were no means for troops on Java and the out-islands to talk directly with Jakarta.
While the embassy told reporters the US had no information about the operation, the opposite was true. There were at least two direct sources of information. During the weeks in which the American lists were being turned over to the Army, embassy officials met secretly with men from Soeharto's intelligence unit at regular intervals concerning who had been arrested or killed. In addition, the US more generally had information from its systematic monitoring of Army radios. According to a former US official, the US listened in to the broadcasts on the US-supplied radios for weeks as the manhunt went forward, overhearing, among other things, commands from Soeharto's intelligence unit to kill particular persons at given locations.
The method by which the intercepts were accomplished was also described. The mobile radios transmitted to a large, portable antenna in front of KOSTRAD (also hastily supplied by the US -- I was told it was flown in in a C-130 aircraft). The CIA made sure the frequencies the Army would use were known in advance to the National Security Agency. NSA intercepted the broadcasts at a site in Southeast Asia, where its analysts subsequently translated them. The intercepts were then sent on to Washington, where analysts merged them with reports from the embassy. The combined reporting, intercepts plus "human" intelligence, was the primary basis for Washington's assessment of the effectiveness of the manhunt as it destroyed the organizations of the left, including, inter alia, the Indonesian Communist Party, the PKI.
A word about the relative importance of the American lists. It appears the CIA had some access prior to 1965 to intelligence files on the PKI housed at the G-2 section of the Indonesian Army, then headed by Major-General S. Parman. CIA officials had been dealing with Parman about intelligence concerning the PKI, among other matters, in the years prior to the coup, according to a former US official who was involved (Parman was killed in the coup). The former official, whose account was corroborated by others whom I interviewed, said that the Indonesian lists, or files, were considered inadequate by US analysts because they identified PKI officials at the "national" level, but failed to identify thousands who ran the party at the regional and municipal levels, or who were secret operatives, or had some other standing, such as financier.
When asked about the possible reason for this apparent inadequacy, former US Ambassador Marshall Green, in a December 1989 interview, characterized his understanding this way:
I know that we had a lot more information than the Indonesians themselves.... For one thing, it would have been rather dangerous [for the Indonesian military to construct such a list] because the Communist Party was so pervasive and [the intelligence gatherers] would be fingered...because of the people up the line [the higher-ups, some of whom sympathized with the PKI]. In the [Indonesian] Air Force, it would have been lethal to do that. And probably that would be true for the police, the Marines, the Navy -- in the Army, it depended. My guess is that once this thing broke, the Army was desperate for information as to who was who [in the PKI].By the end of January 1966, US intelligence assessments comparing the American lists with the reports of those arrested or killed showed the Army had destroyed the PKI. The general attitude was one of great relief: "Nobody cared" about the butchery and mass arrests because the victims were Communists, one Washington official told me.

Where we start in life is irrelevant, the only thing that matters is what we are doing to get where we want to get in life. Well, Louis Chenevert illustrates this better. No one knew he could end up becoming an investment idol he is today. For Louis Chenevert, he only knew what he wanted to achieve and followed his dreams.
The first thing he did was invest in his education. When he went to study for Production Management at HEC Montreal, he remained focused and dedicated to his education. The professor describes him as an enthusiastic student who was always ready to learn.
After school, Louis Chenevert set off in search of a job like all other graduates. It wasn't long before Guy Hachey of General Motors hired him. Here, he stayed for 14 years and worked in multiple divisions. Guy Hachey was a year and a half in front of Chenevert. They were both fighting for the same things; improving the performance of the company and earning the senior positions of the company. Guy Hachey says that he always promoted Chenevert to replace him whenever he got a promotion.
Guy Hachey says that Chenevert is the best executive he has ever worked with in his career. The two are still close friends. Whenever they meet, they recall the olden days and laugh it out to the point of shedding tears.
In 1993, Chenevert decided to pursue higher goals. He began working at Pratt & Whitney. His dedication and commitment to serve the company earned him the President seat in six years' time. It was during this period as the president of the Pratt & Whitney that UTC saw his ability to lead an organization and hired him as their CEO.
Final Verdict
The rise to the top takes time. It is for those who know what to chase to get where they want to be. Louis Chenevert wanted the senior positions of the company. However, he did not focus on that; he focused on using his skills to improve the sales of the company he worked for to a level they couldn't ignore his efforts.

Gillian Anderson's Cleavage Is Out ThereOctober 3rd, 2012
Here's my old college crush, Agent Dana Scully, or Gillian Anderson to all of you non-conspiracy chumps, looking way sexier than she ever did on nine seasons of the X-Files at last night's "Great Expectations" premiere in Rome. And it's all thanks to her drool-inducing display of braless cleavage… hot damn, thank you ma'am! Actually, she's done up pretty damn hot as well, but seriously, that display of braless cleavage is a freaking shwing-fest. Pretty damn sexy for a forty-four year old mom, eh? Damn right! Enjoy!

I was shocked to discover that, despite her No. 2 overall ranking in the Wimbledon tournament, Serena Williams has far too often been playing the bulk of her matches on inferior courts and at bad times. This is done, as reported by Charlotte Hilton Andersen of the Huffington Post, not only because peak courts and time slots generate the best media coverage, but also because pro tennis (even at Wimbledon) would rather feature better looking players than better skilled players.
Of course I, being from the old school, think Serena Williams is the most beautiful woman on the planet. I also can assess a woman's beauty while barely looking at her face and sometimes without even looking at her face at all! But I wanted to be fair. So to get a truly intellectual perspective on Serena Williams and beauty in general, I, much like the Republican Party, turned to blue collar workers. And who better could fit this role than some of the characters you might already know from my Factotum-like night gig?
Is Serena ugly?
"Yes," said a 29 year-old cat (not our married 29 year-old cat-a new cat). "What people have to understand is that beauty is symmetrical and if even one part of your body is out of proportion then you can't be beautiful."
"She's just too (flexes his back and his shoulders) 'mannish'," says our 39 year-old Haitian cat.
"I'd give her at least an 8 or a 9 (on a scale of 1-10)", says our 20 year-old cat.
Our 22 year-old cat shrugs then offers offhandedly, "she's better looking than her sister."
So who is beautiful, then?
"Alicia Keys," says our 39 year-old Haitian cat.
"Keri Hilson," says our 20 year-old cat.
"That chick from Friday After Next (K.D. Aubert)" says our new 29 year-old cat.
Our 22 year-old cat doesn't answer. He's like that sometimes.
Noticing a pattern here, though if you haven't noticed it, I won't explain it, I quickly ask;
"Am I the only one that thinks Gabrielle Union is hot?"
This is met with an uncomfortable silence that lasts a few moments before the subject is mercifully changed.
So, as usual with my Factotum-like night gig and not counting the noncommittal answer of our 22 year-old cat, the voting ended in a tie.
Can someone, anyone, cast a deciding vote?

FCW.com has an interesting article on identity management – verifying that employees and others are who they say they are and verifying that they have the background they claim to have.
Identity management falls under the process and procedures of pre-employment background checks, screening and investigations. Proper identity management is needed for secure operations at any organization and requires effective use of Human Resource and other areas.
From the article:
Identity management answers the questions of whether people are who they say they are and whether they have the proper affiliation or criteria to do certain tasks, James Kerins, senior vice president for information solutions at LexisNexis Special Services, said at the Information Technology Association of America's Identity Management Conference last week.

"A great big light bulb seems to have turned on in the brain of Premier Dalton
McGuinty this week. Finally, he's realized what countless Ontarians already
knew: The so-called "smart" hydro meters introduced by his government look far
less intelligent today than when they were first proposed many months, and $1
billion in spending, ago. And you could even say the whole scheme was
short-circuited by the Liberals themselves."
Waterloo Record, September 16
"Premier Dalton McGuinty, having launched Ontario on a billion-dollar smart
meter experiment, now admits the electricity pricing scheme that's supposed to
make it all work, isn't. Terrific! Now he tells us. Couldn't his experts have
figured this out before he started installing smart meters all over the
Ottawa Sun, September 19
"McGuinty's promise to encourage more off-peak use with even lower off-peak
prices apparently comes with a catch. Asked the next day if that meant peak
power prices would have to be even higher in order to even out the equation in
favour of the government's need for debt-reducing revenue, he refused to say."
Thunder Bay Chronicle Journal, September 17
"I am exhausted from being up all day caring for three small children, and being
up most of the night doing my laundry, vacuuming and making as many meals as
possible because I have a "dumb" meter. These dumb meters and time shifting are
nothing more or less than discriminatory, punishing and time-rigged to be
difficult, exhausting and the most expensive when you need to use your hydro the

Forever 21 is one of my favorite fashion secrets.
Sure, it's filled with cheap, tight hoochie clothes you swear your daughter will never, ever put on her body under any circumstances.
But don't discount this juniors chain entirely -- the website in particular is filled with amazing deals on wearable trends for women. I love going on "shopping sprees" at Forever21.com because I end up with at least five or six things for under $100!
So let's see what's new at Forever 21 right now!
For starters, you can't go wrong with this wool-blend coat (Forever 21, $27.80), which comes in lots of different colors ...
And there's so. Much. More.
A nude heel is a must-have in your wardrobe, and these shiny leatherette pumps (Forever 21, $23.80) perfectly fit the bill.
This tie-waist jersey cardigan (Forever 21, $19.80) is one of my favorite mom-friendly trends of the season. These simple, flowy cardigans do a lot to dress up jeans and hide problem areas. I saw a mom wearing one last week over skinny jeans and flat boots and she looked fantastic!
A basic, minimalist pair of matte leatherette boots (Forever 21, $29.80) with a not-too-high heel? ORDERING NOW.
Forever 21 is king of the inexpensive black staple skirt and, for many of you, this knotted waist pencil skirt (Forever 21, $17.80) totally fits the bill. It's not too short and it has stretch. Fabulous!
I've seen so many photos of celebrities wearing boots like these Distressed Leatherette Boots (Forever 21, $32.80) with their skinny jeans, but THEY all paid between $250 and $350 for their boots. Lucky us, we're smarter!
Finally, isn't it always time for a new pair of shades? I'm liking these sunglasses (Forever 21, $5.80) and I'm especially liking the price!
Check out the website for thousands more items of clothing, shoes, and accessories! And you can find plus sizes on Forever 21's sister site, Faith 21!
Do you shop Forever 21?

Only by being sensitive to context and intent can one avoid the pitfalls of magic word racism, but #CancelColbert demands that we look away from the context.
Critics of Colbert have argued that Stephen Colbert should not be allowed to try and support one minority group (Native Americans) by using another (Asian Americans) as a prop. But when they raise this argument, it is the critics who use the African Americans as a stepladder.
- The "But My Feelings!" Argument: "Regardless of Stephen Colbert's intent, the phrase 'ching chong' really is triggering to a lot of Asian Americans, causing them to feel alienated from their country. Why is this so objectionable?"
I am not optimistic that mainstream America would be so discerning to distinguish #CancelColbert from other, more worthwhile fight against media bias in the future conducted by Asian Americans. This hashtag war incurred a cost, and Asian American activists in the future will have to pay it down the line.
Let's call this what it is: cyberbullying. I'm not saying it's Suey, but I am saying that it's her followers. There is a large group of people who have created an echo chamber that repeatedly enables and reinforces bad behavior. Harassment. Stalking. Name-calling. Character assassination. Misinformation. Emotional manipulation. Propaganda. This isn't calling people out for racist, sexist, homophobic behavior — it's using these terms so freely that we lose sight of the actual racists and sexists and bigots. It's hurling the term gaslighting so often at other people and inaccurately while actually gaslighting the same people. I think that there are a lot of people who follow Suey for her politics while not knowing her tactics. I'd probably do the same if I wasn't aware of the way she treated people.
I guess this all leads to one question: what now? I'm still hesitant and I'm still scared. I don't want to post anything and I don't want to write about politics or feminism or racism. I have seriously considered going completely offline, just getting a job, moving to California, and pretending there aren't a million things I want to say about the institutional and individual oppression we face every single day. Every time I tweet something relatively political, someone comes after me with academic rhetoric, claims of homophobia and racism, and accusations of being a sell-out. I've gone from confident and optimistic speaker glowing about the magic of social media in community organizing to scared and increasingly apathetic college student contemplating leaving activism behind.
To make up for the lost credibility, Park's gambits will become more and more outrageous. She herself signaled this exact game plan, in so many words: if people don't take you seriously, do crazy things. By becoming more outrageous, Park will guarantee herself a consistent level of public visibility in the media, which loves no one like it loves circus clowns. Park will join the long heritage of media clowns who generate far more heat than light, the likes of Coulter, Palin, Moore and Sharpton. Similar to those who came before her, Park will become that one example that the opponents use to discredit the entire Asian American experience.

Re: Selling Sansa E280
From: David <elephant_at_tele2.no>
Date: Tue, 6 Jan 2009 23:13:32 +0100
I guess, we are talking US dollars, right? How big card can this unit take, actually?
I could be very much interested, but need to know, what shipping would be to Norway. Maybe one of the Flat-rate shippings of USPS (which I have been using quite frequently, when buying on EBay) would be the cheapest alternative. Will be paying via Paypal. Check me out, on EBay, my user-ID is zitagirl.
How old is the player, and is it 100% functional? Will it come with any voice installed, as I am blind.
Thanks alto,
Hi all,
I'm selling a Sansa E280 in excellent condition. Pics can be e-mailed upon request.
If anyone is interested, send a message to:
And, please, no nasty messages telling me I'm spamming the list. I admit, I haven't checked list etiquette lately, but I have seen other players listed here. I thought I'd see if anyone here was interested before I listed this somewhere else.
Warm regards,
Erin in NC, US

Saturday was my amazing Mama's birthday, so that gives me permission to post a picture of me in a diaper and her with those awesome 80's glasses, right?
But seriously, happy belated to the woman who taught me how to appreciate a good glass of wine, a black & white flick, and how to make myself relax. And who is still trying to teach me how to stand up for myself, say no, and not live my life for other people. She's couragous and will love you to the end.
Happy Birthday Mama.
In other news, this weekend was fantastic. A good bit of Saturday was spent in my bed or on the couch recovering from the 5 miles my best friend and I defeated that morning. Saturday night was fish fry, Sunday was spent in New Rhodes meeting boyfriend's hilarious family and eating crawfish till I thought I'd pop. My 4th was much of the same: family, eating, about to pop.
And then fireworks :) I love fireworks. Even more snuggled up on my main man.
Hope you had a great holiday weekend!!

Sticky Icky Booger Bugs is a children's book that attempts to tackle cystic fibrosis
Author Sherry Frith has a personal connection with cystic fibrosis, her sons Kory and Kevin were both diagnosed with the disease at a young age. That event, and the subsequent visits to doctors and hospitals, inspired her to write the children's book 'Sticky Icky Booger Bugs'.
Published by Archway, Sticky Icky Booger Bugs is the tale of a boy's battle with cystic fibrosis as he attempts to avoid the hospital. Kory is just like any other kid. He loves recess, playing soccer, and exploring his neighborhood with his best friend. With every puff, cough, and sneeze, Kory keeps the sticky icky booger bugs away so he can have fun every day! Sticky Icky Booger Bugs is a picture book, illustrated by Caroll Newell Walter, for children ages 0 – 7.
Cystic Fibrosis is an inherited chronic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system. There are 30,000 children each year diagnosed and battling cystic fibrosis. There is no cure for this progressive disease. According to the publisher, Frith wanted to explain aspects of the disorder using words they could understand. Helped by colorful illustrations, and the knowledge they gained, they were able to deal with the sticky icky booger bugs using simple routines to keep their cystic fibrosis at bay. This story lets children know that they are loved, no matter what their medical situation may be.
Sherry Frith is also the founder of Helping Hearts, a nonprofit organization. She has patents and copyrights pending in various areas and lives each day full of new ideas and grace. Sherry lives in Bakersfield, CA, with her sons—Kyle, Kevin, and Kory.
Illustrator Carol Newell Walter majored in fine arts at Wayne State University and earned a BA and teaching credentials from California State University– Bakersfield. Now retired, Carol and her husband live in Bakersfield, CA, where she continues to create all kinds of artwork.

Additional Information
Birdman, the visually stunning 2015 Oscar winner for Best Picture by maverick director Alejandro Iñárritu stars Michael Keaton as a washed-up action star trying to reinvent his career as a credible actor and director on the Broadway stage.
For this special performance, the film will be accompanied live by renowned jazz percussionist Antonio Sanchez, recreating his explosive, Grammy-winning score that provides the heartbeat of the film.
With a supporting cast that includes Edward Norton, Naomi Watts, Zach Galifianakis and Emma Stone, Birdman: Or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) is a kinetic film experience that plays like a single, continuous sequence of events, with Sanchez's drums supplying the energy and drive that underlines the emotional weight of the story and perfectly expresses the restless, desperate intensity of the characters.
One of the most accomplished and in-demand drummers in jazz, Antonio Sanchez performs regularly with a jaw-dropping list of greats including Gary Burton, Chick Corea, Danilo Perez, David Sanchez, Miguel Zenon, Donny McCaslin and Michael Brecker.
Since 2000, he has been the drummer of choice for 20-time GRAMMY winning guitar god Pat Metheny, touring the world with him and appearing on eight of his acclaimed recordings. Sanchez has released four albums as a leader, includingThe Meridian Suite, his most recent recording with his band Migration.
