(Fortune) -- Central bankers are apt to say just about anything when it comes to defending the Federal Reserve's support for housing.
In a speech Tuesday, Minneapolis Fed President Narayana Kocherlakota sketched out a path the Fed could take to head off the inflationary threats posed by its massive bond purchases. As you might expect, Kocherlakota stressed that he believes rising inflation is "unlikely."
But Kocherlakota, who joined the Minneapolis Fed last fall from the University of Minnesota, also made some surprising comments to the Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce.
First, he emphasized the Fed's purchases of mortgage-related debt aren't "toxic" -- at least not for the Fed.
Over the past year, the Fed has purchased more than $1 trillion of debt tied to Fannie Mae (FNM, Fortune 500) and Freddie Mac (FRE, Fortune 500), the troubled federally backed mortgage companies. Though bailout-soaked taxpayers may fret over the rising default rates on mortgages owned and guaranteed by the companies, Kocherlakota emphasized that the Fed is insulated from those concerns.
"Of course, if many borrowers do default on their mortgages, taxpayers suffer losses because taxpayers are backing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac," he said. "But those losses are an issue for Congress and the Treasury -- they do not find their way through to the Federal Reserve."
Consider yourself reassured. That said, even if the bonds aren't poisonous for central bankers, Kocherlakota suggested the Fed might do well to start selling them once the recovery is firmly in place.
That's because the Fed generally isn't comfortable holding long-term bonds, which lose value when interest rates rise. Rates have risen over the past month and are widely expected to go higher in coming years.
Expanding on comments made last month by Fed chief Ben Bernanke, Kocherlakota laid out a plan that could speed the Fed's exit from the mortgage markets. He said the Fed could, for instance, sell between $15 billion and $25 billion worth of the mortgage bonds each month -- without upsetting the market and causing interest rates to spike.
Over time, the sales would slim the Fed's balance sheet and eat into the idle reserve balances at banks. Those balances, which are normally run to just a few billion dollars, currently amount to $1.13 trillion. That's cash banks could lend out in an economic upswing, potentially fueling inflation.
Sales may be necessary, Kocherlakota said, because otherwise the central bank could be left managing a bigger, riskier balance sheet for years.
"I am optimistic that we will be able to normalize our balance sheet by the end of the teens," he said.
He said an internal analysis predicts that without sales, the Fed could still be carrying $250 billion of mortgages in 2030. The problem, the Minnesota Fed concluded, is that "only half of the mortgages will vanish from the balance sheet every 10 years."
That is, the Fed's bonds have a dangerously long half-life. It wouldn't be the first time the mortgage business turned radioactive.

For several months the US public had been seeing a continuing series
of films from Mogadishu and other parts of Somalia, showing children who were
emaciated, old people who were clearly starving. The American public was
really sensitized to doing something. And, of course, there was also Bosnia in
the background.
President Bush took the decision after the election. I'm convinced
that he took it for honorable reasons . I think his desire was to be seen
leaving office on a high note. He had received a great deal of criticism during
the campaign on his seeming unresponsiveness to the situations in Bosnia and
Somalia. And I think he chose Somalia because it looked like it was gonna be
the easier of these two major humanitarian crisis.
What really motivates a politician in this situation? Is
President Bush -- like the American public -- moved by the pictures he sees on
TV? Is this enough of a reason to formulate foreign policy?
Well I think he would have to be responsive to that. He is a
sensitive man, and as President I'm sure he did agonise over these issues and
of course the fact that members of Congress -- one or two of them had actually
visited Somalia, during the period after we began our airlift of food from
Mombasa into Somalia -- he could not have ignored all of that.
Why should Americans be involved in this?
Well we'd been very deeply involved in the horn of Africa. We had
made a large investment in Northern Somalia, and we had certainly used
Somalia as an important pawn during the cold war, I don't think that most
people in Washington, certainly on the policy side, could have ignored the fact
that Siad Barre was about to visit Washington back in 1987. When people
discovered that his forces had killed tens of thousands of people in Habr Gidr.
So there was a consciousness about Somalia. In addition, I don't think that
people in 1992 were entirely certain that the Cold War was really over, and so
there were a lot of considerations that went into that.
What caused the famine?
There are many theories about what caused the famine. Clearly there
had been a drought, there had been an unsuccessful crop year in the southern
valleys back in 1990 and '91, but I think that the food was being used as a
weapon and many of the refugees if not most of the refugees are displaced
persons to use the proper term. In the south of and west of Mogadishu were
people who had previously lived in Mogadishu and in fact, one way of ensuring
that the starving Marra on would not come back into the city of course was to
keep them hungry. And this was a theme that I heard a lot during my
time -- let's not have the displaced persons come back into Mogadishu quite
Was there a genuine shortage of food in Somalia at the
Probably not. It was our view at the time, and I think it was later
borne out by what we saw on the ground, that a lot of the food was actually
being held at warehouses in Mogadishu. I know that many of the people who
were involved in planning the operation conceived of it largely as opening the
warehouses and then getting the food out to the camps.
And what was stopping the food being distributed?
Well I think it was for purely political reasons, the warlords in
Mogadishu, particularly Mohammad Farah Aidid, did not want the refugees and
displaced persons to be fed. This was a way of ensuring that they would not
come back and regain their properties which had been taken from them.
Everyone I think agreed in Somalia that the people who had supported Siad Barre
in a way deserved to be punished, and so there were a lot of conflicting and
contributing factors in this.
Admiral Howe. Tell me briefly who he was and what President
Bush did with him.
Admiral Howe had been the Deputy Director of the National Security
Council at the end of the Bush Administration. He had been much involved in
planning the operation. He was selected, in my view, because he was believed to
be one of the highly skilled managers within the military, although he had
retired by that time. And I think that he went out there with the idea, which
the Bush administration had, which was the main problem in peace operations was
management. And this caused I think the focus to be on having a professional
manager at the head of that operation.
But you can't really take politics out of such an operation can
No, I think that Admiral Howe was in a situation where the tools
available to him really didn't give him the answers [though] I'm not so sure
he was asking all the right questions. When he arrived, I spent a lot of time
with him and his staff trying to identify what were the levers, what were the
political tools which were available, hoping that we could develop some kind of
political focus.
But he didn't want to get drawn into politics.
Professional military people, by their training, are not interested
so much in politics. They're trained from their first day as junior officers
to stay out of -- they're fighters, they're not politicians. There are three
things that have been continually brought to my attention that the military
don't like. What I call the three P's. And that's policework, politics, and
That's what the US military want to keep out of.
And that basically is the mind-set of many people still in the US
military who are focusing on being war fighters and who feel that when they
become engaged in peacekeeping it detracts from their proficiency.
Tell me about your arrival. What was the scene when you came
I arrived on the 4th of March in 1993 as it happened the day after
Ambassador Oakley had left. I was met by his deputy who I was replacing, John
Hirsch. I was taken from the airport to the oil compound that had been
rented for use of our liaison office. I had barely put my bags down in my
room when I was taken off to meet with Mohammad Farah Aidid. This seemed
to be a regular routine for the Embassy liaison office staff, and in fact
during the first four days I was there, I was in his office on three
Describe Aidid to me. Where was he living? Was he surrounded
by guards? What was the atmosphere like?
Aidid's headquarters was about 200 yards from where we were staying.
Just up the road. Surrounded by guards and a wall with a gate that
controlled access. He met us, very kindly, clearly he knew my predecessor.
He was a very powerful man.
I found him to be rather charismatic, at the same time I found him rather
devious, clearly somebody with a very high opinion of his role. He of course
gained a great deal of credibility during the period of UNITAF. He'd been
treated by many people, not just the Americans, as almost a de facto president
of the country, although as far as I knew he was only president of Southern
My view of the man is that -- here's a man who clearly is going to be someone
we're gonna have to deal with. I felt at the same time certainly by my third
meeting that we may have been overdoing our close relationship with the
gentleman. But as it happened, and I thought it rather fortuitous in some
ways, he left the country to go to some meetings at Addis Ababa, and he
didn't come back to Mogadishu for about six more weeks, during which time we
had opportunities to meet many other people and including many people from his
clan. He did not come back until the end of April of 1993 and after that the
nature of the relationship was not the same.
How did Aidid get to be who he was? And is warlord or clan
leader a good way to describe him?
Aidid had been selected by his clan as a warleader. This is quite
usual within Somali culture where their political leadership and their
military leadership will often be different people. Now the man who had
selected him [who was] the political leader -- and frankly I've forgotten his
name -- died in a Rome hospital in '91. And after that Aidid became more or
less the de facto political leader at the same time. His forces had of
course come from the central region. Many of them were herdsmen, nomads who
had been involved in the drought and had lost their flocks, and are ready
for battle if you will. Certainly providing grist for his army and this was
not a professional salaried military that it formed. It was miscellaneous
armed people and they were promised booty and the booty in fact was found in
Southern Mogadishu. And many of them had settled into the houses that I was
speaking about earlier and they wanted to stay. They had at least a place, a
roof over their heads. And of course much of the civil war in Mogadishu in
1991 and '92 in which 35,000 people -- mostly non-combatants had been killed--
was due to the desire of Ali Mahdi the man who ran North Mogadishu and
Mohammad Farah Aidid in Southern Mogadishu to extend their range of
properties if you will. I thought that Aidid was going to probably be an
Why did you feel that so soon? In the first four days you said
you met him three times and yet by the end of that 4th day, you already had a
bad feeling about him.
Well, I did not see that he was focused frankly on returning to any
kind of normalcy. You know every peace operation tends to begin as a
humanitarian disaster. You can focus on the political origins of the
humanitarian disaster after the people have been fed and certainly by March
people were being fed. And after my discussions with him I could not see that
he had any interest in normalcy. His view was continuing conflict until frankly
he owned all of Somalia.
He thought that the peacekeeping operation would effectively
get in the way of his war?
Well I think in plain military terms the area which had been
occupied by the various contingents in the UNITAF and later by the UNOSOM too,
cut off his internal lines of communication. They tended to slow down his
incursions into areas they did not yet control, he was not able to move his
technicals which had been taken off the streets very early in the operation and
as a result, I think he tended to look at the UNITAF period as a period for
putting his force together, restoring some of his units, but certainly in
preparation for other events after UNITAF had gone.
So in other words he regarded the initial UN intervention as a
chance to build up and prepare for the next phase of the war?
Well I think he would have had to, because we announced at the
outset we weren't going to be there very long. And I think he was genuinely
afraid of confronting the US Marines and the US army 10th Mountain
Division representatives who were there. He simply, I think, was waiting to
attack once the stronger force had gone.
So once the Americans are gone, he's gonna go back to
Well obviously the fact that UNOSOM continued in there was an
inconvenience to him. But it was a less cohesive force. It was not a force
which had really ever had an opportunity to train together. If he was going to
get the UN out of there, which I think was clearly one of his objectives, he
was going to have to take some actions.
What was the point do you think at which Aidid decided that he
actually wanted to get the UN/US out?
Well, despite his efforts, life was beginning to look more normal in
Mogadishu. Tradesmen were back at work. There were initiatives being taken
by NGOs and others to set up trading schools and things like that. So life
was coming back to normal, and if you're a warlord, perhaps uncertain of what
your real popularity is, normalcy is the enemy.
The intelligence sources that you'd obviously developed over
there -- you began to get some rather ominous indicators didn't you? What did
you hear?
During the month of May we were getting conflicting intelligence [about]
what the overall intentions that Aidid had. Clearly he was planning something.
I guess it was about the middle of month when we got some very good
information that in fact, Aidid was debating within his group the
advantages that might come from assassinating a member of our Embassy staff.
And naturally we were alarmed by this but we were very well-guarded by the
US Marines and we didn't think that we were necessarily in any direct danger,
although obviously we were already taking every precaution.
What did he hope to gain from that?
I think Aidid clearly looked upon us as people who were causing him
some difficulties. We had been able to develop relations with other members
of his group. I was meeting regularly with a group of Somali elders. We were
trying to have many sources.
There were other things that were going on that may have been disturbing to
Aidid and his group. We had a suggestion being brought to our attention by a
Somali NGO closely attached to his clan, who in fact had come to us with a
very good idea to try to get these teenagers with guns off the streets. They
had suggested that from their analysis of the situation the best way to get
'em off the streets was to get 'em into school. And they provided us with some
ideas on how that might be achieved. This was simply indicative in my view [that]
the normal people in Somalia were beginning to have their voices heard.
We tended in the Embassy or the liaison office to look at the Somalis as two
major groups. You had the warlords, you had the normal people. And the normal
people clearly were working toward objectives which would have caused Aidid
On June the 5th -- describe briefly the two ambushes that
Well, the attack at the radio station which started about 9:45, as
evidenced by the gunfire, took place after a Pakistani company had
investigated the radio station and were in fact leaving the compound. The
other attack which is even more grievous and I think there can be no confusion
about, is the fact that they had selected a feeding site -- as I recall feeding
site 50 which was located a couple of miles away from the radio station -- and
they'd simply mowed down the Pakistani soldiers who were delivering food. They
were lightly armed, they were under fire for several hours. Every member of
that group of Paks was either killed or seriously wounded. And very clearly
the intention was to try to break the Pakistani force which was then the one
with control responsibilities in Mogadishu.
How many people were killed at the radio station?
12 of the Pakistanis were killed at the radio station, and 12 others
at the feeding site. The deaths were bad enough but this was a particularly
bloody planned series of ambushes There were 94 soldiers wounded, and I
believe that a third of them had permanent injuries, loss of limbs,
blindness etc. It was meant to be a message in my view and I thought that the
message was not to the Pakistani government so much as it was to my
And what conclusion did you draw from these two
events -- coincidence?
I think there was no coincidence the whole city blew up at the same
time -- at least the Southern part of Mogadishu blew up at 9:45. And telephone
poles were down blocking the streets, there were bonfires in various areas,
there was gunfire brought against UN groups all over the city. Very clearly
we were at war.
So Aidid made his big move.
Aidid had the opportunity to finally rid himself of the
international presence. He had the time and he tried to obscure the issue by
focusing on the radio station. Perhaps we were unwise in that part, giving him
that cover story but essentially it was Aidid's initiative.
The decision is taken now to get Aidid. Who takes the
The decision to get Aidid was not taken in Mogadishu, although we
had no difficulty understanding it. There was a special session of the
Security Council on that Sunday which would have been the sixth of June and
perhaps in an over-rushed judgement, there was in fact a resolution, I think it
was 834, which did not condemn Aidid by name, but condemned those people
who'd attacked the UN forces. And they called for these people to be brought
to justice.
The meeting had been called by the Pakistani government. I don't know who was
responsible for the actual text of the resolution -- but a resolution was
quickly passed condemning those people who had attacked the United Nations.
Aidid was not mentioned by name but it was clear to everyone who the resolution
was directed against. How to implement that was more difficult.
Whose decision was that then?
Well the Special Representative of the UN Secretary General was
Admiral Howe. It would have been his responsibility to carry out the Security
Council resolution. And as it happened, the fact that the Pakistanis had been
the focus of the attack on the 5th of June caused them to stop some of their
night-time patrolling and to cut back on their daytime repo as well. And as
it happened the force which was the most capable of carrying out the terms of
the resolution was the US Quick Reaction Force.
So, would Admiral Howe have cleared that decision with the
White House? Or was Howe effectively the person to make the decision?
Well Admiral Howe would not have the command and control over US
troops. At that time in Somalia it would have been through the US central
command in Tampa. And the US Force Commander would have referred the matter
back to Tampa and Tampa obviously would have then gone to Washington.
Part of the problem of this whole event is this complicated chain
of command.
Just for my own clarification -- the UN passed a resolution, Admiral
Howe is effectively the UN Commander who said, "that means get Aidid," or is
somebody else making that decision? Who makes the interpretation that,'get the
people responsible for that...' then becomes, 'get Aidid.'
Well there was no mystery in Mogadishu who was behind the ambushes,
and to carry out the resolution then, you have to go after the person who would
have ordered that. Which would have been Aidid. The man in charge of the UN
operation was Jonathan Howe. So he made that decision.
And at what point were the Rangers brought into the
Well this happened of course after I had gone. But there was a
desire to bring a supplementary force, which was better able to carry out
clandestine operations -- which could find out some way or another to get Aidid,
as you say. And the US Rangers seemed to be the right unit. Of course, here
you get into an additional problem of command and control, in the sense that
the Special Operations command, which was sort of across the street in Tampa,
still has its main headquarters in Fort Bragg. So you had yet another channel
being opened.
How did Aidid's forces get the idea of how to down the
Well, we owned the air. This was our great advantage during the
early months of the operation. And the only way that they were able to take
away the air superiority that we had was to study the tactics of helicopters.
Helicopters fly at night. They fly without lights, but after they've fired and
set fires on the ground, the flames are reflected on the bottom of the
So they got the idea that if we start firing -- I guess it was the RPGs or
rocket propelled grenades which were the most popular form of fire power in
Mogadishu in 1993 -- if you fire enough of those toward the helicopters you're
gonna take one down and they did. And of course this was the technique that
they used on the night of October 3 and 4 to attack the helicopters bringing
in the initial force as well as the rescue forces that followed.
You said 'on the night' but the actual raid was daytime.
Well the raid began in daytime but the support to that operation
continued during the night, so that anybody going into that fire zone during
the night of October 3-4 was really in great danger.
Aidid effectively laid a double ambush for the Pakistanis back
in June. In your judgement, did the Rangers actually stumble into what was in
effect a pre-set ambush?
I don't think so. It illustrated that Aidid's people had reached a
level of preparedness that they were able to respond quickly to an operation
into the center of their neighborhood. [It was] I think based on the confidence
that had been built up by their previous successes using the RPGs against
They had succeeded in bringing down two of them.
That's right.
So in your interpretation, what happened was that there was a
genuine intelligence tip, the Rangers moved on it, and Aidid' s militia were
able to just mobilize fast.
Well I think that clearly there had been previous raids, the Rangers
had been quite active and this was I guess a strategic objective they could
have perhaps judged in advance that it would be a prospective target. But,
given the secrecy of the operation I can't imagine that the Somalis
would have been clever enough to have known about it and had been able to set
themselves up, they obviously were able to respond quickly.
The target was Aidid wasn't it?
Well, of course, under the presidential order which has now been
contended by a number of presidents, we don't target individuals. But I think
implicitly you can imagine that, well, certainly the main target of any raid
would have been to take Aidid alive, or whatever the occasion would have
presented. But it was the view that Aidid was the leader and he was the
prime target.
In reviewing the operation what's its effect on US policy? Has
it been an inhibiting factor?
Oh, I think so. The ghosts of Somalia continued to haunt US policy.
We have two presidential orders that deal with these matters, the first one
was clearly written in the shadow of Somalia. More recently we're now working
harder to be able to get our policies together, domestically, but I would say
that in general we are still not at a point where we can respond in a proper
fashion, covering the real scope of the peace operation.
In specific terms what international crises were affected by
the Mogadishu effect?
Well, in 1994, clearly our lack of response in Rwanda was a fear of
getting involved in something like a Somalia all over again. And we spent the
summer of '94 quarrelling amongst ourselves as to redefining genocide. The
Haitian operation, I think, utilized some good lessons from Somalia. There the
relationships between the military and the non-governmental agencies went, I
think, quite well. There was a genuine effort to move from the humanitarian
to the rehabilitation. The Bosnian intervention is to me, as a student of
peacekeeping, a bizarre one because there the Dayton Accords tried to make
rigid separation between the humanitarian and the political and the
What are the lessons that people have drawn from this whole
thing? They've drawn different lessons; some people say it's an example of
mission creep...
Well, I don't like mission creep as a term. It has crept in the
back door of US military doctrine in the recent years and it means many things
to many people. To me, mission creep means there are things out there we don't
want to do. And if we have to do them, it's called mission creep. But it can
mean we haven't trained to do these particular jobs. It can mean such things
as, 'I'm tired and I want to go home,' which was, I think, how mission creep
began to be understood in Somalia when I was there. It's an inexact term and
I really dislike it.
British and French military officers in particular talk about
'the Mogadishu line.'
Well, of course, the person who made that expression famous was Sir
Michael Rose when he was in command in Bosnia. I read that as meaning that he
was trying to avoid becoming involved in the problems between groups in
Bosnia. I think that he hued to the traditional notions of impartiality and
neutrality which are explicit in the UN charter but I don't believe are
applicable in situations like Bosnia, at least neutrality. I think we have to
apply resolutions impartially, but you can't be neutral in the face of genocide
and things like that.
The other criticism is that in effect the US became drawn into
one side of a civil war. It ended up effectively fighting on behalf of one
faction against another in Somalia.
Well, I'm not so sure that's the way it was. We got drawn into a
conflict that the adversary himself had chosen. I don't think that you could
say that we were fighting for any other particular clan... clearly, when we get
drawn into a situation where we're fighting somebody else's war for them, as
you could, say, in Somalia, that's a very bad thing. And clearly this is
something that we must avoid... I believe that you must plan your operation
in such a way, that you do not end up fighting somebody else's war.
But you don't think that happened in Somalia?
Well, we ended up in a war with someone who had killed members of
the UN force. Other clans might have gained some benefits from this, but we
were not certainly fighting for them.
In the end you judge this whole thing a success or a
In my view Somalia was not a military failure, it was a well-run
military operation, but which had no political focus. It was a failed
political military operation.
Explain what you mean by that.
In a traditional warfare, you bring force against force. One side
will win and one side will normally lose. If you get into a peace operation,
it's a political military operation, it's a humanitarian battlefield where
the real enemies are gonna be things like impure water, disease, fear,
insecurity, displacement and all of that.
And that's the way these operations ought to be planned. In the case of
Somalia, we didn't even focus on the immediate threats other than food. We
certainly never focused on the longer-term political concerns of the country.
After all, it began as a political problem, we became interested in it during
the humanitarian period and we certainly were not focusing beyond that
You are someone who is still involved, in a sense, trying to
draw the lessons from Somalia, you're actively involved in programs I think with
the military and so on. In broad terms what are you trying to achieve?
Well, I've never been in the military. I've been very fortunate in
my diplomatic career, to have had two assignments one to the Naval War College,
one to the Army War College. On the basis of having been in Somalia where I
was enormously frustrated, I decided in my retirement days that I would work
with the military to bring more focus onto the political side of political
military operations. I don't tell them how to fight their wars. But I do try
to give them some tools so they can understand the political side.
Is it fair to say that maybe the very end of this century --
beginning of next -- it will be more like the end of the last century and we
will be facing a multitude of small colonial actions rather than the big
setpiece wars?
Well I hope they're not viewed as colonial actions. I know that
people who lose out in these things tend to accuse the UN of being involved in
recolonisation or whatever, but that's bunk. In my view, the world has to
develop some doctrine for its own intervention. I think that the lack of rules
is a real problem. We're still using the tools of the Cold War, which is based
on a UN charter which was developed really to solve the problems of the
1920s-'30s, when it was state against state. We don't have any tools really
available for conflicts within states.
To return to the question I asked you before, why is it
America's problem? Why should America be involved?
America has to be involved. I don't think we have to be involved in
every crisis, because complex emergencies are proliferating. During the Cold
War period there were 3 or 4 a year -- complex humanitarian emergencies. We're
now averaging 16 or 17 a year. We have to be able to respond when our
consciences tell us we must. And often that conscience will be determined by
the media, but we cannot look out at starving kids and old folks and women
weeping over the bodies of their husbands and children without having some
kind of a response. We are a world community. And the US is the principal
player, certainly in terms of power extension. We have the capability; we
can't stand by and let the world go down the drain.

Unreported World
7.30pm, Channel 4
Reporter Oliver Steeds is in Alice Springs, home to more Aborigines than anywhere else in Australia. He finds a community in the grip of an alcoholism epidemic, to the extent that the government has taken control of settlements and banned outright the sale of alcohol to Aborigines. Though money is being pumped into the communities, there is chronic unemployment and criticism that the indigenous population is now dependent on handouts, while local businesses are angry about the rise in crime. Perhaps more pertinent is the charge that Aborigines are losing their identity and sense of purpose and need to take back control of their communities. Martin Skegg
MasterChef: The Professionals – Michel's Classics
8.30pm, BBC2
Slight deviation by the apparently inexhaustible MasterChef franchise. Michel Roux Jr revisits some of his preferred dishes from the series, and trots out a few of his own favourite recipes. Unsurprisingly, Roux focuses on French classics, including a stuffed duck with pistachios and some startlingly elaborate cream buns. As ever, for some viewers an instructive and inspiring lesson, for many more a culinary equivalent of pornography. Andrew Mueller
Gardeners' World Christmas Special
9pm, BBC2
In this special festive edition, Monty Don and Rachel de Thame spruce up Longmeadow by cutting back plants and moving a holly tree that has become too big. Meanwhile, Carol Klein discovers some of Britain's best winter walks, ideal for when you're gasping for fresh air on a stuffed, claustrophobic Christmas Day afternoon, and Joe Swift visits an urban vineyard in Hackney. Pam Ayres also puts in an appearance. David Stubbs
Public Enemy: Prophets Of Rage
9pm, BBC4
The woolly America season catches on to a decent thread with this documentary about the pre-eminent hip-hop group of the 1980s. Older, more educated and more principled than the moral majority had come to expect their musical nemeses to be, the Long Island group came together at university, and quickly blazed their own trail with their abrasive, funky productions and the fervour of their rhymes. The heroic, epic personalities on display here – Chuck D, Flavor Flav, DJ Terminator X – makes this less a talking head procedural, more a rap Walk The Line. John Robinson
Hip-Hop At The BBC
10pm, BBC4
If you can tolerate the Beeb's annoying habit of dropping the odd snide comment into its captions, there's plenty to enjoy here. Hip-hop has been around for more than 30 years and there is a good spread of archive live performances that show how many different approaches can work. It's also great to see how everyone involved in hip-hop reinvented themselves with far more exotic-sounding alter egos: it just wouldn't be the same listening to Shawn Carter (Jay-Z), Dylan Mills (Dizzee Rascal) or James Todd Smith (LL Cool J). Hip-hop won't stop. Phelim O'Neill
30 Rock
10.30pm, Comedy Central
Liz, whose undercooked feminism is perhaps the most consistent source of 30 Rock's biggest laughs, is horrified when a well-known snark blog declares that TGS "hates women". Her response is to hire an edgy new female comic who, in reality, turns out to be a bit of a floozy. Usually such shenanigans would pique the interest of Jack, but he has more pressing matters to attend to, such as manipulating the teenage heir (Chloe Moretz) to the Kabletown Empire into giving up the company.

Five Area Farms Awarded For 100+ Years In Business
By Mike Perleberg
The Chipman family, of Dillsboro, was among those honored with the Hoosier Homestead Award at the Indiana State Fair.
(Indianapolis, Ind.) – They've been going strong for 100 years, if not longer.
Five area family farms are recipients of the Hoosier Homestead Award recognizing farming families that have owned and operated the same farm for a century or more. Centennial awards were given for 100 years of ownership, while sesquicentennial and bicentennial awards were given for 150 and 200 years of ownership, respectively.
The locals were given the awards along with 50 other families this week at the Indiana State Fair in Indianapolis.
|The Chipman Farm, located in Dillsboro, has been in operation since 1907. The family received the centennial award for over 100 years of ownership.
The Heath Farm, located in Vevay, received the sesquicentennial award and has been in operation since 1863.
The Wuestefeld, Roleson and Ickenroth farms are located in Dearborn and Franklin County and received centennial awards for being in operation 100 years or more.
Local state representatives Jud McMillin (R-Brookville) and Randy Frye (R-Greensburg) each extended congratulations to the families.
"The hard work and dedication these families put forth every day deserve our appreciation and recognition," said McMillin. "Southeast Indiana is home to many highly-skilled farmers, and without their dedication and expertise to Hoosier agriculture, the industry would not be what it is today."
"These families are the epitome of what it means to be a Hoosier: hardworking and willing to sacrifice for the wellbeing others," said Frye. "I am pleased to see them receive the recognition they deserve and wish to extend my sincerest congratulations to both families on this special day."
More than 5,000 farms have been awarded since the program started in 1976. Additional information on the Hoosier Homestead Award program, including how to nominate a family, can be found online at www.in.gov/isda/2337.

Nick Kotsopoulos TELEGRAM & GAZETTE STAFF
Published Friday February 1, 2013 at 6:00 am
The state Supreme Judicial Court has remanded to Superior Court for further proceedings two civil suits filed against the city, in which homeowners in the Newton Square area claimed their properties were damaged by the discharge of raw sewage caused by backups in the city's sewer lines.
The lawsuits contend the city allowed the Metropolitan District Commission — now known as the state Department of Conservation and Recreation — to send sewage from neighboring towns through its sewer system to the Upper Blackstone sewer treatment plant in Millbury before state-funded improvements could be made to the system to accommodate the additional flow.
In remanding the suits to Superior Court, the SJC concluded that the action of the city permitting MDC effluent to flow into the city's sewer system "materially contributed" to its overloading and exposed homeowners to a known risk.
"In failing to take steps to ensure that the MDC made the necessary improvements, and allowing the MDC effluent to flow into the city's system without requiring their completion, the city did not act reasonably, and may be liable for negligence," the court stated in its decision.
In May 2000, the city reached a 20-year agreement with the MDC to accept sewage from Rutland, Holden and West Boylston as a way to protect the Wachusett Reservoir watershed.
The sewage from those towns goes to the Upper Blackstone sewer treatment plant via the city's sewer system.
In lieu of paying a sewer connection fee to the city, the MDC agreed to design, construct and inspect sewer improvements to the city's system worth about $2.87 million.
The agreement called for upgrading and enlarging two segments of the city's sewer system to handle the additional flow — the first was the upgrade of the Cambridge Street sewer interceptor at Kansas and Dorrance streets, while the other was in the Newton Square area. The latter involved the installation of about 3,200 feet of 36-inch sanitary sewer main, from Midland Street to a point on Pleasant Street roughly 500 feet east of Copley Road.
According to the agreement, those improvements were supposed to be completed no later than July 1, 2005, but they were not done by then. In fact, work on the Newton Square improvements did not begin until 2010 and were not completed until the following year.
In a 1996 report, the MDC forecast that without the necessary improvements, sanitary sewer backups could occur onto residential properties in the city caused by the additional sewage flow.
That report proved prophetic when three backups in the city's sewer line in the Newton Square area occurred on April 3, 2005, Oct. 15, 2006, and April 16, 2007, resulting in the discharge of raw sewage in the area of Kinnicutt Road South and Creswell Road, damaging properties there.
A subsequent report issued in 2007 concluded that the overflows occurred because heavy rain that had infiltrated the city's sewer system. The report indicated, however, that the discharge was consistent with the predictions made in the MDC's 1996 report and that the system would continue to be subject to overflows in severe weather conditions without the proposed improvements.
In 2008, William A. and Sherry Shapiro of 21Kinnicutt Road South and Henry A. Greenberg of 8 Crewsell Road filed separate civil suits against the city, in which they allege it is liable for the damage to their properties caused by the discharge of raw sewage from its sewer system.

Sony Bravia KDL-55HX923 55in LED 3D TV
Viewing it large
Posted in Personal Tech, 17th November 2011 09:15 GMT
Review The KDL-55HX923 is a remarkable Freeview HD TV for many reasons. It's humungous for one, measuring 148cm diagonally. It's also overflowing with image technology and network niceties, as befits a flagship product. Even from a design standpoint, this set knocks the ball out of the park.
A 55in member of the Monolith family: Sony's Bravia KDL-55HX923
With its edge-to-edge glass frontage and soundbar-stand, this monster screen is surprisingly elegant. It's not even vaguely TOWIE. But that doesn't mean you should necessarily buy one, even if you can drop the best part of three grand without palpitations.
The review model came equipped with a Bunchin (SU-B551S) stand which incorporates its own powered audio system and notches up the price by another £230. The TV recognises when it's been docked in this and prompts you to switch from its internal sound system to that in the external stand. A short HDMI lead is used to link the two, utilising an ARC (Audio Return Channel).
The Monolith Bunchin stand incorporates a soundbar to bolster thin panel telly audio
Rated at 2 x 10W, and bolstered by a 20W subwoofer, the resulting noise is a good deal better than standard TV audio. The KDL-55HX923 is also feature-rich, with some attractions seen throughout the rest of the Sony line, and some new.
I particularly like the fact that an Intelligent Presence Sensor throws up on-screen warnings if it feels you're too close for comfort. This Distance Alert can be disabled, but families with children might want to leave it on. The HX923's glass screen isn't going to look its best covered in jammy fingerprints.
ARC HDMI speaker stand
Like other net connected screens from the brand, the KDL-55HX923 offers access to the newly unified Sony Entertainment Network. Compared to the app-driven portals of its key competitors, this simple grid of services looks a little dull. But if you want access to lots of IPTV content, Sony has it nailed.
Broadcast network
In addition to the BBC iPlayer, YouTube, DailyMotion, Demand 5 and dozens more, there's Video Unlimited – Sony's newly rechristened video-on-demand service, which offers a huge selection of new and recent releases in both SD and HD.
Sony's network portal
The screen can also stream content from local USB storage and from networked devices, but there's no support for NAS-stored MKVs. There's much better compliance from USB, with all key suffixes playing on cue.
Obviously, with a high-end Godzilla-tron like this, picture quality is paramount. The good news is this 55in titan is one big bowl of eye candy. Colour fidelity is fruity, while black levels are dark and suitably foreboding. Part of this is down to the image processing technology on-board, which includes Motionflow XR800, Sony's fastest-ever picture polisher.
Back panel interconnects
It's certainly effective. The Standard Motionflow setting delivers around 950-1000 lines of moving resolution; step up to the higher settings and there's no loss of perceived detail at all. Motionflow does create occasional artefacts, seen as ripples around moving objects (background and subject dependant), but for general viewing and gaming, this is a price worth paying as the picture appears wonderfully sharp.
Personally, when watching film content I prefer to turn such high framerate frippery off. There's a drop in motion resolution as a result, but film images look more cinematic – and when you have a screen as large as this to watch your Blu-ray's on, that's a big win.
Panel beating
However, despite all this Kryptonian tech, there remain issues with this panel's performance. Off axis viewing is limited. The set drops colour and contrast rapidly when viewed from the side. Also curious is a light border running down the right and left hand edges of the screen. This is particularly noticeable on darker scenes, although some hues don't really highlight it.
Minor visual artefacts have set the home cinema fan forums alight
There's been some debate about this on various forums, where the effect has been christened a crease. It doesn't look like a crease though, but in much the same way a dead pixel is magnetic, it's distracting once noticed. When quizzed about the anomaly, Sony told me it's a 'structural characteristic' of the panel, describing the effect as a "visible un-uniformity." I think I saw Picard get sucked into one of those on Star Trek: TNG.
Only one set of specs supplied – do these manufacturers want people to view in 3D or not?
The set's 3D performance is vivid and deep. You'll notice crosstalk if you look for it on certain content, however there's no massive hit on brightness. Both Full HD and side-by-side 3D enjoy equal amounts of depth. One set of Active Shutter eyeware – coded TDG-BR250 – is supplied with the television. Additional specs will set you back £79.
Overall, the KDL-55HX923 very nearly succeeds in justifying its astronomic ticket price. Design and specification are first class and its gigantic images look terrific. However Sony's 'visible un-uniformity' is a serious flaw. While it's fair to say that some will not notice this odd edge effect, cinephiles are bound to spot it. And I suspect for them it's almost certain to be a deal-breaker. ®

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) – Revenue for each of Ohio's voter-approved casinos fell in June as compared to May, according to a report that came out Monday from the Ohio Casino Control Commission.
The four casinos, located in Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati and Toledo, each saw their revenue drop by over a million dollars in June, with the exception of the Hollywood Toledo Casino, which saw revenue go down by about $700,000.
The Horseshoe Casino Cincinnati pulled in just over $15 million in June as compared to just over $17 million in May, while Horseshoe Cleveland dropped from about $19.5 million to just over $17 million.
Hollywood Columbus made a little over $18 million in May and just under $16 million in June. Hollywood Toledo moved from just over $16 million to about $15.5 million.
Ohio casinos are taxed at a rate of 33 percent on Gross Casino Revenue, according to the Ohio Casino Control Commission's website.
The state then gives the tax revenue to funding for the county, students, host city and more, according to the site.
A racino, or casino with horse racing, is set to open in Austintown in the fall. The first thoroughbred race will be held Nov. 24. In 2015, which will be the first full year for the new facility, there will be 100 days of racing.


text: I've got a USB PS/2 keyboard/mouse adapter. It worked fine for a very long time, including earlier today. Suddenly, it no longer works very reliably: 1. The mouse stops working entirely. My built-in mouse (this is a laptop) stays functional, but the USB-connected mouse dies off. If I unplug the adapter, and plug it back in, the mouse comes back for a little while - then dies again. 2. Sometimes, after a while of use, the modifiers on the keyboard stop working reliably. Once again, the built-in one stays fine, but the USB-connected one is not reliable. Anyone seen anything like this? I'm inclined to blame hardware, but I figured I'd ask before doing anything drastic. :) -s

The "Perfect Bite" at the first West Coast Cheesemonger Invitational (CMI) at Public Works in San Francisco on January 19 was an unlikely, but delicious combination of flavors and texture that just worked.
"The Perpetual Goatstopper" was the creation of Cheesemonger Perry Soulos of Arrowine and Cheese in Arlington, Va., who paired award-winning chèvre from Redwood Hill Farm with grapes, candied ginger and Burstin' Berry Poppin' Pebbles™ breakfast cereal to create his unique, eye-catchingly delicious perfect bite. Soulos was awarded $1,000, immeasurable glory and an all expenses paid trip to the Vermont Cheesemakers Festival this summer along with top two finalists Zach Berg of Bi-Rite Market in San Francisco and Nate McElroy of Bedford Cheese Shop in New York.
"I really wanted to do something different and fun with my perfect bite," said Soulos. "When we first received the list of cheeses to choose from, I went right for Redwood Hill Farms' Traditional Plain Chèvre. I knew the product very well from my years behind the cheese counter and thought it would be the perfect choice for a California-inspired cheese bite. Its decadent and rich flavor and clean lemony tang make it very versatile in the kitchen."
Redwood Hill Farm Owner Jennifer Bice, said: "We were thrilled to be one of the hometown hosts of the first West Coast Cheesemonger Invitational. It was wonderful to see how Perry used our fresh chèvre in such a surprisingly delicious way."
Redwood Hill Farm's cheeses were featured throughout the competition. Competing mongers enjoyed a vertical tasting of Camellia, Redwood Hill Farm's Camembert–style cheese at various ages, from three days to eight weeks. It was also served as a delicious dessert course sandwich topped with berry preserves created by Michael Davidson, aka The Grilled Cheez Guy of Oakland, Calif. Cheesemonger Max Frederick from The Cellar Cheese Shop in Costa Mesa, featured Redwood Hill's Raw Milk Feta in his Greek-inspired spoon sweet.
More than 30 of the best cheesemongers – the folks who sling cheese for a living – competed in an intense day-long series of cheese challenges. Participants from San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles, Seattle, Boulder, San Diego, Florida and even Toronto, Canada were put through a series of tests. From blind cheese tastings and a grueling written exam to sales-under-pressure and the perfect cheese cutting, the day-long event challenged the mongers' skills, knowledge and creativity, as evidenced in their Perfect Bite. Following the private daytime competition was an evening party attended by 800 members of the cheese-loving public.
Attendees were treated to "perfect bite" pairings created by each competing cheesemonger along with award-winning cheeses from CMI hosts: Bay Area cheese pioneers Redwood Hill Farm & Creamery and Cowgirl Creamery, international importer Columbia Cheese and East Coast luminary Vermont Creamery; four custom grilled cheese sandwiches created just for CMI by The Grilled Cheez Guy; plus fondue, raclette and thousands of pounds of cheese. As esteemed panel of judges, including San Francisco Chronicle Cheese Columnist Janet Fletcher, Cheese Connoisseur Magazine Publisher/Editorial Director Lee Smith and American Cheese Society Board Member and DiBruno Bros. Owner Emilio Mignucci, rated competing mongers based on portioning, presentation, taste, aesthetics, creativity and whether or not the pairing created the elusive third flavor of the blended components.
According to Liz Thorpe, CMI Event Producer and Author of The Cheese Chronicles: A Journey Through the Making and Selling of Cheese in America, From Field to Farm to Table, "San Francisco really caught the 'cheese for life' spirit of what the Cheesemonger Invitational is all about: celebrating the passion and challenging the skills of this dedicated tribe of cheese lovers. We're excited to bring CMI back to the city next year for more mongering competitions, world-class cheese tastings, late night dancing and more."
Adds Soulos: "It's thrilling to be named the CMI 2014 champion of cheese after competing in the 2012 and 2011 events in New York City and feeling both times that I could have done better. This time I brought my A-game, spending countless nights reading and studying the craft as mental preparation, and several days designing my perfect bite. The hard work paid off."

We, as citizens, have all rights to ask our authorities: why?
Why do we have this high radicalisation level? And why you cannot control it and cannot start successful de-radicalisation steps?
Before Khaled Sharrouf managed to leave Australia and reach Syria with no valid passport.
Before AFP admitted that they cooked the conspiracy with "community leaders" and foreign powers to ban me from entering Lebanon.
Before my local MP Jason Clare refused to meet me and other community members/victims of radicals' attacks.
Before PM invited extremists to annual Iftar, while excluding anti-extremist campaigners from invitation.
Before authorities granted millions of dollars to extreme organisations to manage anti-extremism programs.
Before all this, I was trying to give our authorities the "benefit of doubt" for lacking any sense on these actions.
But the reality of things is very concerning. For me the real causes of radicalisation is very clear now.
When I was warning about growing extremism in the suburbs, the leader of NSW Liberal party was sending condolence letters to families of Australian terrorists killed in Syria.
When I was living in fear in my home, fearing attacks form radicals because of my anti-extremism campaigns; Labor leader was busy calling Syrian ambassador asking him to leave the country because Syrian army was fighting against terrorists including our own ones. Labor leader was busy supporting terrorists by calling on Al Qaeda affiliates to assassinate Syrian president as the only solution of growing terrorism in Syria.
When I was reporting to media about Wahhabi extremists' crimes against Ali Ibrahim, Campsie police station officers were busy threatening me of legal consequences if I continued with these actions.
When I travelled to Syria in fact-finding mission and to promote peaceful solution for the conflicts, SBS and ABC were busy condemning me even before hearing what I will say about the situation in Syria.
When I was organising peace tours for journalists and peace activist to Syria, our security agencies were busy cooking conspiracies with foreign powers to cripple my ability to travel to Syria, through banning me from entering Lebanon.
When I was documenting Wahhabi crimes against local shop owners and peace activists, the Greens party politicians were busy calling for NATO to bomb Syria as the best available support for rebels-terrorists in Syria.
For all this, I feel very proud that I was right for the last 5 years.
I was right to consider Syrian "revolution" as Western conspiracy to get rid of unfriendly regime using terrorism.
I feel proud that I opposed this "revolution" and considered it to be the mother of all terrorist activities around the world.
And I am proud that I warned Australians that current authorities' approach will not solve any problem. On the contrary.
Banning me from entering Lebanon, gave extremist "morale" boost that they still enjoy authorities support.
Refusing to grant our organisation a single dollar to manage anti-radicalisation program, is the wrong message to all directions.
Authorities insistence to invite extremists to activities and events on behalf of Australian Muslims, gives the extremists strong sense of power and influence.
In short, our authorities are on the wrong path and they need to change course. Before it is too late.....

Former AC Milan striker Filippo Inzaghi has claimed that he will support Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League this season, as well as the Rossoneri.
The 39-year-old, who retired from professional football over the summer, has insisted that he will be a keen follower of les Parisiens this year, due to their ex-Milan connections of Carlo Ancelotti, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva.
"After Milan, PSG will be the first team I look out for," he told Corriere dello Sport.
"There have been too many changes [at Milan]. The old guard have gone, Ibra, Thiago Silva, [Antonio] Cassano, they have all left. But we still need to give the coach [Massimilano Allegri] some time, because the staff are excellent. For me, only Juventus have more [in Italy]."
The ex-Italy international also spoke about the runners and riders in Europe's premier club competition this season, calling Galatasaray 'fearsome' and Borussia Dortmund 'a team to keep an eye on'.
"Milan will qualify from Group C, along with Zenit St. Petersburg. Although Malaga should be very strong," he insisted.
"PSG will be favourites for their group, along with Bayern [Munich], Arsenal, Manchester United and, of course, Barcelona.
"Group D looks like a tough one with Real [Madrid] and [Manchester] City, but I would keep an eye on Borussia Dortmund. I know the Westfalstadion, and it is a scary place to play.
"Galatasaray will also be fearsome at home."
Inzaghi's long career came to an end this year and 'Superpippo' admits that although he feels he made the right choice to retire, he still thinks about life as a footballer in the top tier of Italian football.
"I miss everything. The field, the dressing room, the training. I miss San Siro. But I was lucky enough to experience good feelings as a player," he added.
"I left my career at a beautiful moment, and certainly made the right choice [to retire].
"I look back on my career with pleasure.
"As a player, I started in Serie C and got to the top of Europe and the world."
Inzaghi concluded by congratulating former team-mate Alessandro Del Piero on his move to Sydney FC.
"I say bravo to Alex. It is a brave and intelligent move. Maybe I'll do the same one day?"
Inzaghi's old team Milan host Anderlecht in their opening Champions League game on Tuesday, kick off 20.45 CET.

As scandal-ridden politicians attempt comebacks, the Holy Father urges us to respond to Gods love.
By Kathryn Jean Lopez
Couldnt we have one?
That was Chuck Todds question on his political geek show, The Daily Rundown, on MSNBC one recent morning. Todd was moderating a panel discussing former New York congressman Anthony Weiners insistence on running for mayor of New York City despite his history of Twitter ill repute, coupled with former governor Eliot Spitzers zeal for political comeback as the citys comptroller, despite the prostitution scandal that ended his tenure in Albany. Politicians dont have to be and frequently arent role models. But, really, Todd dared to dream, couldnt one of them try to be?

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) – New details have emerged about the man charged with sexually assaulting and killing his girlfriend's 5-year-old son.
Attorneys agree a plea deal isn't a possibility for Matthew Kuzdzal. This case will go to trial. Prosecutors say he beat Eain Brooks to death last year.
During a pre-trial hearing Thursday, prosecutors revealed more details about their case. Judge Christopher Burns and attorneys heard from several police witnesses. Lt. Mike Long was the one of the first officers to arrive at the scene on the evening of September 15, 2013. He testified he responded to a call at 127 Albany about a child who had fallen down the stairs. Kuzdzal initially told Long he tried to perform CPR on the unconscious boy.
One of the lead detectives testified Kuzdzal's story changed several days later. In a sworn statement on September 18, 2013, Kuzdzal told detectives Eain urinated on himself. Kuzdzal told police he got mad, threw Eain into the shower, and Eain hit his head.
In September 2013 Kuzdzal's defense attorney Robert Cutting told News 4, "I think it could best be described as a tragic accident, not an intentional killing, and I think my client is heartbroken over the loss of a child that he regarded as his own son."
Kuzdzal faces a second-degree murder charge and predatory sexual assault of a child.
Child Protective Services did have a case file open on Eain. His is one of several deaths that has prompted CPS reform.
Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz told reporters Thursday the county has fired, suspended, or warned caseworkers whose work is not up to standards. Fifteen new caseworkers have been hired. CPS has also brought back about 10 retired caseworkers on a part-time basis.
Poloncarz says part of the problem is that CPS is receiving about 1,000 new cases a month, and many cases are being kept open longer than in the past.
"Cases are staying open longer than they have in the past, primarily because the county got dinged for closing cases too soon. So it's a double-edged sword. You want to be able to close these cases so you can get them off the desks of the caseworkers, but you don't want to close them too soon and then have missed things, and then have something bad happen," Poloncarz said.
By state law, CPS workers have to be completely trained before they are allowed to take on any cases. And that process can take up to six months.
Poloncarz says there's also a high turnover rate, because the stressful nature of the work.

[quote:af31cb3b89][b:af31cb3b89]Seven chasing State of Origin rights[/b:af31cb3b89]
The Seven Network is believed to be keen in getting rights to the National Rugby League's State of Origin matches -the highest rating rounds of the code.
â€We're very keen to submit a bid for State of Origin and Test matches,†Mr Leckie said. â€We think Rugby League should split its properties into three, or four, with even the finals going to a separate network.â€
There is speculation the NRL could unbundle its TV rights and offering four separate packages: Origin, Test matches, NRL regular-season matches and the finals series.
David Gallop, CEO of the NRL, has confirmed he would split the properties if it increased revenue.
News Ltd presently owns half the competition as well as holding a 50 per cent share in its major TV broadcaster, FOX Sports. But News Ltd has hinted it could walk away from rugby league and rescind its NRL half-ownership.
Currently the games air on Nine and FOX Sports.
TEN has also indicated interest in buying NRL regular-season matches.
According to the Sydney Morning Herald, Mr Leckie and Mr Gallop would win by seizing revenue from rivals – Seven taking advertising from Nine and the NRL undermining the AFL's push into western Sydney and the Gold Coast.[/quote:af31cb3b89]
Source: [url=http://www.tvtonight.com.au/2009/10/seven-chasing-state-of-origin-rights.html]TV Tonight[/url]
Its an interesting thing. Ten wants weekly games, Seven wants SOO and Test Matches while News Limited might even walk away if they do it. I think its a good idea to split it even if it still ends up on Nine. That way they get the most for their dollar considering Nine paid peanuts for the rights compared to the AFL deal.
State Of Origin TV Rights
Show your colours - join the AFL & NRL 2011 Tipping Competitions ..Basketball, Cricket, Tennis, A-League and all other sports. ..it's all here in the Locker Room.

Can't all the stuff related to one particular code or sport, be on the same channel? I think it's stupid to have it all mixed up, like it is with the AFL and the Cricket at the moment.
Cecil B DeMille Life Time Achievement
When does the State of Origin deal finish with Nine? The same time as the NRL? Is it the same packaged deal?
Am asking because Seven has the rights to the Rugby League World Cup later this year. And the Origin is different to the NRL Premiership competition.

@rexrainbow - are t0 and t1 in scale of days? How do I tell it with an expression to calculate the day,month and year of t1 and t0?
This is very confusing, can you post an example?
Do I convert t0 and t1 to a unix timestamp values, then calculate the difference and convert back to normal timestamp?
What is the expression to convert back to normal?

Hey all. I need some help with a very peculiar issue I've noticed the last week or so.
Back story: I recently (and finally) added a IH tracker to my Grid. Tracks amount and time left with a corner icon. (PSA I recommend everyone to have this, it's a very easy way to track shielding.) Not that I had any healing issues before, but I just like to see everything in my control. Have had it for a couple weeks, works perfect and all, except...
...I notice that IH is falling off on 1 particular person (another healer) with a lot of time left on the buff. Now before I go ballistic on said person, does anyone know of a healing spell (white name plates :P) that overrides IH? I've been wracking my brain for days trying to figure this out, done searches and such, and cannot find anything related.
Is this person /cancelauraing my shield? I really hope not, but I'm afraid this is the case. Any input would be wonderful, but I have a feeling I'm just going to get a bunch of "lolwuts" and confirmations.
Thanks in advance, you guys rock!

Story highlights
- Top Republican candidates have spent about $8 million on TV ads so far in Iowa
- Despite pledges to stay positive, Newt Gingrich and others take negative tone
- Super PACs also spending heavily in support of candidates they like
Turn on the TV here in the Hawkeye State, and you'll get inundated with a barrage of Republican presidential campaign commercials, with many of them negative in nature.
"If Washington's the problem," says the narrator in an ad by Texas Gov. Rick Perry's campaign, "why trust a congressman to fix it?" The ad goes on to criticize rival candidates Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, Rep. Michele Bachmann of neighboring Minnesota, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania. "Among them, they've spent 63 years in Congress, leaving us with debt, earmarks and bailouts."
Another ad goes after Gingrich: "You know what makes Barack Obama happy? Newt Gingrich's baggage. Newt has more baggage than the airlines," says the announcer in a spot by the independent group Restore Our Future, a Super PAC that's supporting former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney's bid for the GOP nomination.
And another attacks virtually the entire GOP field: "It's the story of a lost city, lost opportunity, lost hope. A story of failed policies, failed leadership. A story of smooth-talking politicians; games of he said, she said and rhetoric and division," declares the narrator of a comical ad by the Paul campaign, which targets Gingrich, Romney, Perry and Bachmann.
That's just a taste. The campaigns and the Super PACs have spent around $8 million so far to flood Iowa television stations with ads this month alone. And with one week to go until Iowa's January 3 caucuses that kick off the 2012 primary and caucus calendar, expect the explosion of commercials to accelerate.
While $8 million sounds like a lot of money, ad spending will likely be down from the 2008 Iowa Republican caucuses. A main reason is the late start to traditional retail politics here in Iowa.
The 13 GOP presidential debates dominated the spotlight for much of the year, but with the caucuses closing in, Iowa is finally front and center.
"It was late starting, but all the campaigns and these outside groups are absolutely heavily engaged and heavily engaged at the highest levels now," says Kenneth Goldstein, president of Campaign Media Analysis Group and CNN's consultant on TV advertising.
According to CMAG, a sampling of the top candidates shows that Perry's campaign tops the list, spending $1.57 million in Iowa this year (through Sunday) to run TV spots. Make Us Great Again, a pro-Perry Super PAC, has shelled out more than $400,000 to put up commercials in the state.
Restore Our Future, the pro-Romney group, has spent more than $800,000 in Iowa, nearly double the $478,000 the Romney campaign has shelled out to put up ads. Paul's campaign has spent nearly $750,000 to run spots in Iowa.
While he's basically tied with Paul and Romney for the top spot in the latest polls in Iowa among likely GOP caucus-goers, Gingrich lags when it comes to ad spending, shelling out only $213,000 so far statewide.
"Newt Gingrich wasn't able to raise money and combine his rise in the polls with a rise in fundraising to be able to pay for political advertising in a ground game in Iowa," adds Goldstein.
"It's not very complicated. Usually the main reason that someone's not airing political advertising is they don't have enough money to air political advertising."
After Gingrich's rise in Iowa and national polling late last month, he faced an onslaught of negative ads, which he admits was partially responsible for his decline of his numbers in the most recent surveys.
Are the negative ads by his opponents hurting the former speaker? "Sure. ... Of course they are," Gingrich told CNN's Wolf Blitzer Tuesday in Dubuque. "I think they will have spent $5 million, $6 million, $7 million, most of it false, and the amazing thing to me is we've held up as well as we have."
But the wave of negative ads may just be a taste of things to come.
"I think Iowans are seeing what all Americans are going to be seeing going into the general election," says Republican Party of Iowa Chairman Matt Strawn. "That in an era of Super PACs, where there is unlimited corporate spending, it's going to dramatically reshape not just the presidential races but politics at all levels. And I think Iowa has just been the first frontier on that."

from The Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia
- n. A knife, usually curved and with a cross-handle, for mincing meat and other food.
Sorry, no etymologies found.
All social problems erect their interrogation point around this chopping-knife.
Besides these things there are a few absolute necessaries, — lacquer or wooden bowls for food and sake, a chopping-board and rude chopping-knife, a cleft-stick for burning strips of birch-bark, a triply-cleft stick for supporting the potsherd in which, on rare occasions, they burn
For the moisture mixes with the dry food, and by the assistance of the natural heat and spirits cuts the nourishment far smaller than any cleaver or chopping-knife, to the end that every part of it may be exactly fitted to each part of the body, not applied, as they would have it, to little vessels and pores, but united and incorporated with the whole substance.
But do it yourself, without the help of a chopping-knife, mallet, or axe, — as wolves, bears, and lions do, who kill and eat at once.
He has a good supply of spears and bows and arrows for hunting, a parang, or chopping-knife, and an axe-for the stone age has passed away here, owing to the commercial enterprise of the Bugis and other Malay races.
In fine weather the greater part of them are quietly enjoying themselves — some are sleeping under the shadow of the sails; others, in little groups of three or four, are talking or chewing betel; one is making a new handle to his chopping-knife, another is stitching away at a new pair of trousers or a shirt, and all are as quiet and well-conducted as on board the best-ordered English merchantman.
I them got a chopping-knife, and carefully moving my insect nets, which hung just over the snake and prevented me getting a free blow, I cut him quietly across the back, holding him down while my boy with another knife crushed his head.
Just above the torch a chopping-knife was fastened by a short cord.
After they had left, our men observed from their concealment that three had stayed behind with a small boat; and being driven to desperation by the sight of the plundering, one brave fellow swam off armed only with his parang, or chopping-knife, and coming on them unawares made a desperate attack, killing one and wounding the other two, receiving himself numbers of slight wounds, and then swimming off again when almost exhausted.
No one heard this because of the noise of the chopping-knife.

This Epic Bacon Croque Madame Pizza is the ultimate brunch pizza with layers of bacon, ham and cheese baked to perfection. To amp up the croque factor, let's take it over the top and bake a sunny side up egg (or a few) on it!
We are nearing the end of #BaconMonth and that calls for a recipe that delivers big on bacon and this Epic Bacon Croque Madame Pizza definitely delivers!
Yes, you heard that right – a Bacon Packed Croque Madame Pizza. I could have gone the traditional route and added a slice (or four) of bacon into a traditional croque madame (or even croque monsieur) but I figured, why not take it into pizza form and have it be the perfect brunch pizza or when you want breakfast for dinner….


text: Dear all After the lovely time arranging the Polychaete Conference in Reykjavik I moved to Sweden and I am now working at the Swedish Museum of Natural History. You can see my new address and e-mail below. My other E-mail address elins at ni.is will also be available as long as I am editing the Proceedings of the Conference. I want to thank all of you who wrote to me after the conference for all your kind words and I wish Guillermo and his colleagues a good luck in their preparation of the next conference. At the Swedish museum we now have a number of reprints from the Swedish Antarctic Expedition 1901-1903 that we are willing to give away. This expedition was lead by Otto Nordenskiöld and went to Falkland Island, Graham Land and the area south of Tierra del Fuego. The goal of the expedition was among other things to collect marine invertebrates. It became a successful expedition resulting in a number of papers about the zoology, botany and geography of the Antarctic. The papers dealing with Polychaetes are Polychaètes Pélagiques by C. Støp- Bowitz and Non-pelagic Polychaeta by Olga Hartman. The pelagic paper is written 1951 and includes 21 species belonging to 7 families The non-pelagic part is published 1953 and includes 166 species, of them 16 are described for first time. If you are interested in these papers, please contact me via e-mail and I will send them to you. Also if you are interested in papers dealing with other groups of invertebrates you can contact me and I will send you a complete list of papers from the expedition.

text: Hi. I have (re)written the ACPI power resource code. This tries to overcome some bugs and limitations in the old code. To name few issues, the old code lacks locking, never removes references to power resources, does not support retrieving the power state, does not support some newer control methods, contains some small bugs, among other thing. (This is not to say that the old code is bad, and Michael Smith's name still appears in the copyright.) The new code also tries to act more as a small-scale "framework". Currently ACPI power resources are used only by acpitz(4). But as power resources hopefully some day play a part in the overall x86 power management scheme(s), now would be a good time to consider the issue. Please test if you have time. How? 1. Drop the code ("acpi_power.c") to "src/sys/dev/acpi".[1] 2. Apply a patch ("acpi_power.diff").[2] 3. Add "acpipower* at acpinodebus?" to your kernel configuration file. On some laptops acpitz(4) uses these resources to make a switch to "active cooling", so possible regressions should be visible there (fan does not turn on/off, etc.). Otherwise the code should just, well, sit and idle. Comments are welcome too, of course. - Jukka. PS. Thanks to Paul Goyette for early review.
