In "Would Donald Trump make art great again?" Kennicott pens a short scenario of what the arts might be like under a Trump presidency. Given that candidate Trump hasn't made any specific policy pronouncements about the arts, Kennicott's sketch focuses on how public attitudes might be affected by the kinds of statements Trump has made, and his general attitude about civic discourse.
Some of the developments Kennicott envisions in this future include:
- Vandals targeting a gallery showing art that satirizes the new president
- Threats to federal funding of the Smithsonian and the National Gallery of Art
- Cultural leaders self-censoring exhibits and performances that might provoke Trump supporters
- A growing gap between "preservationists" who advocate hunkering down to defend arts funding until the next election and "purists" who argue that arts leaders have an obligation to resist the "new authoritarianism."
Give it a read. What elements of this scenario do you find plausible? Implausible? What do you think the arts would be like under a Clinton presidency? While there are only 77 days until the election, a little future thought might help you prepare your organization for the outcome.

PBS Lies for FDR over Allegations by Whittaker Chambers
To comment on this article go to B'Man's Revolt.
It's never too late to learn something new. The following article, posted in January of 2006, shows the genesis of my discoveries about the massive infiltration of the Franklin Roosevelt government by agents of the Soviet Union.
Having already written the first three parts of "Who Killed James Forrestal?" I was already a good deal further up the learning curve on 20th century history than the average person, but I didn't know how little I knew until I followed up on the recommendation of an online contact and read Witness by Whittaker Chambers. The research sparked by Witness then led to my "FDR Winked as Soviet Espionage" and a number of other articles.
One intriguing discovery I have made is that the generally leftist Public Broadcasting System is not alone in covering up Franklin Roosevelt's apparent treason. From the 2013 addendum to the "FDR Winked" article one can see that a number of prominent putative conservative anti-communists have lied for Roosevelt—though not for Alger Hiss—in exactly the same way that PBS has.

Below is an exchange that I had on alt.history on Usenet during the first week of January 2006. I would like to express my appreciation to Mr. Robert Cohen for responding to my repeated postings. His responses prompted me to do additional research and led me to the discovery, recounted in entry #7 below, that the Public Broadcasting System has written apparent untruths that would tend to absolve President Franklin Delano Roosevelt of responsibility for protecting a Soviet spy ring that operated in the highest reaches of his administration for many years.

Subject: Whittaker Chambers' Witness
I have just finished reading Whittaker Chambers' 1952 memoir, Witness, for the first time, and here are a few of my observations:
The book certainly establishes beyond a shadow of a doubt that Alger Hiss, Harry Dexter White, and company were active Communists dealing with very important matters in the upper reaches of the U.S. government. I think that I already knew that from my general reading, and I believe that that is now pretty much the consensus of accepted history as it is taught in our colleges, although it might be downplayed and glossed over for the most part. What is particularly glossed over is that these people were simply traitorous espionage agents little different from the Rosenbergs or Kim Philby.
What I did not know at all, and what I consider to be the really big news of the book, was that Whittaker Chambers had gone to Franklin Roosevelt's internal security chief, Adolph Berle, some eight years before he appeared before the House committee that Richard Nixon was on and had told him pretty much the same story at that time. Amazingly, FDR had blown the whole thing off, and, clearly, nothing would have ever been done had it been left up to the Democratically controlled executive branch of the government. I get the distinct impression that FDR's brush-off was not a consequence of his simply not believing Chambers. It appears that the FBI already had some strong indications of the ongoing treason and had relayed it to Berle. Rather, it appears that Roosevelt acted with malice aforethought, and was thus complicit in the treason.
I think that this revelation in the book has been little publicized for fairly obvious reasons. It raises fundamental questions as to who has been running our government and to what ends. It also makes the observation of James Forrestal to newly-elected Senator Joseph McCarthy, as quoted in Cornell Simpson's, The Death of James Forrestal, look all the better:
"Consistency never has been a mark of stupidity. If the diplomats who have mishandled our relations with Russia were merely stupid, they would occasionally make a mistake in our favor."
Also, I learned a lot in Witness about the means by which the Communists compartmentalized their covert operations, as all good covert operations must. Chambers' window upon the penetration of the country by the Communists, therefore, was very limited. The likelihood that there were other spy nests within the government or other power nodes in the country that Chambers would have had no way of knowing about is probably pretty high. One must wonder whatever became of them.
As worldly-wise as Chambers had become from all his experiences, he seems curiously naïve in some ways, though. It is not just the press and the historians who have made too little of FDR's guilty knowledge of treason at his elbow, Chambers, himself seems to make too little of it in his book. Toward the end he sings the praises of the FBI when they are finally put to work on his side and against Hiss and company. He appears to have forgotten that they, whose job it is to prevent such things, were nowhere to be found when the Hiss crowd, and who knows how many others, were carrying out there treason for many years after Chambers had made FDR aware of it.
Maybe it can be blamed on his editors, but Chambers seems not to have come away from his experience questioning who really rules us and for what purpose. Turning to religion, as he does, may be the right thing to do, but he treats it almost as an end in itself in dealing with our political landscape. It might provide you with a pretty good compass, but you're still going to need a map.

re: Whittaker Chambers
I read the Amazon write-ups about WITNESS to refresh my history of the era, which always interests me.
I had off 'n on subscribed to NATIONAL REVIEW in the 1970s and 1980s, and Wm F. Buckley, Jr. is very pro--Chambers, continually defending him against Hiss and the Democrats/left-liberals.
FDR was not uncontroversial nor was HST. They were both the bug-a-boos of the right of 1930s, 1940s and 1950s:
"FDR has the syph, and Truman is part of the Pendergast machine."
The nasty, damning charges of being pro-Communist against Democrats are standard operating accusations; and also the implications of the fairly recent release of Verona papers of the KGB do not let Hiss, the Rosenbergs nor FDR's assistant Harry Dexter White off the hook.
Pat Buchanan is also recently defending American Firsters' pov: The U.S. should've been neutral, and let the NAZIs win (or whatever) is his inference. Am I mis-stating Buchanan's book--I did not read it, only excerpts and reviews.
No matter the instigation of the Churchillian "Cold War," the Korean War, and the Vietnam War, the Democrats & even moderate President Eisenhower will forever be accused by the American right of pandering/consorting/soft-dealing with the Commies: The U.S. shoulda defeated/nuked 'em early-on, the right apparently holds:
The Right still says: The "Democrats lost China." I suppose that some Democrats, some GOP moderates and left-liberalism will thus be forever suspect in the rightwing's perception.

I'm trying to look past the left vs. right aspects of this episode. Whittaker Chambers, a defector from the Communist underground, brought to Roosevelt very solid evidence that he was surrounded by a nest of spies for Stalin's Soviet Union, and FDR, through Adolph Berle, blew him off. When you add that to the known facts about FDR's extremely pro-Soviet foreign policy what you get is a very strong inference that Roosevelt, himself, was guilty of treason.
I am writing this as a born and raised Democrat whose father was such a Roosevelt admirer that he named his youngest son Franklin D. My father's heart might have been in the right place, but like most people he didn't read very much and what he read he did not read critically, and also, like most people, he tended to think tribally in "us" vs. "them" terms. As I recall, there was never any doubt in his mind that Alger Hiss was innocent, because Hiss was one of "us."

Subject: Re: Whittaker Chambers' Witness
The New York Times article referenced here agrees completely with the charge made by Chambers in Witness. Here is the key NY Times quote:
Ironically, Soviet espionage was already at work in America. But Roosevelt, like most others, misunderstood the threat. This was seen in the case of Whitaker Chambers.
A journalist, Chambers was a courier and contact in Washington for Soviet intelligence. In 1938 he recanted his allegiance to Moscow, and after hiding for several months to escape Stalin's assassins re-emerged as a writer for Time magazine. Shocked by the brutal cynicism of Stalin's pact with Hitler in August 1939, he told his story to Adolf Berle, Roosevelt's international security adviser in the State Department, and also pointed the finger at more than thirty Communist agents at work in the federal government, including the senior State Department official Alger Hiss. Berle told neither his department nor the FBI, but did, according to one source, pass the intelligence on to Roosevelt. But the President merely `scoffed at the charge'. He was incredulous that there could be a Soviet espionage ring in his administration; to him Communists were blue-collar trade union militants, not suave representatives of the east coast establishment. Gentlemen like Hiss could simply not be traitors. As a result, no counter-intelligence programme for identifying Communist agents in the federal government was put in place.
Whatever his motivation, FDR would have to be regarded as criminally negligent, at the very least, in his disregard of the report by Chambers. I think that it was worse than negligence, and the fact that so little is made of this reaction by Roosevelt in the secret-power-protecting press and the toady history establishment strengthens my suspicion.
The fact that The New York Times, itself, would go along with Chambers' version of the story on this initial stifling of any proper Soviet spy investigation by FDR is significant. This is the newspaper that gave us the extraordinarily influential Stalin propagandist, Walter Duranty, after all. It is completely in character that The Times would make excuses for Roosevelt for what appears to me to be complicity in treason, rather than holding him to account.

As I understand the accusation: The NY TIMES reported that Berle, FDR's intelligence assistant, informed FDR that 30 Soviet agents were then operating/participating in his administration according to informant Whittaker Chambers circa 1939. FDR reportedly scoffs.
My questions: Did Berle tell/refer-to FBI/U.S. military of Chambers' information (?).
Whose word/testimony are we supposed to trust as the source of the accusation: Berle? Chambers? J.E. Hoover? Stimson?/Knox?
Is it possible Chambers lies/exaggerates/distorts about his conversation(s) with Berle?
Chambers' treason/espionage accusation against Alger Hiss circa 1948 is seemingly true; while the scoff-conversation/administration-inaction has never been verified/proven (?).

Subject: Re: Whittaker Chambers' Witness
First, let's look again at what the generally leftist, FDR-defending New York Times said in that article you found:
Berle told neither his department nor the FBI, but did, according to one source, pass the intelligence on to Roosevelt. But the President merely `scoffed at the charge'. He was incredulous that there could be a Soviet espionage ring in his administration; to him Communists were blue-collar trade union militants, not suave representatives of the east coast establishment. Gentlemen like Hiss could simply not be traitors. As a result, no counter-intelligence programme for identifying Communist agents in the federal government was put in place.
They say, "according to one source," and they put "scoffed at the charge," in quotes as though they are quoting that source directly. That source is clearly not Chambers' book, Witness, because Witness doesn't use those words. Here's the Witness quote:
But nothing at all happened. Weeks passed into months. I went about my work at Time. Then, one day, I am no longer certain just when, I met a dejected [Isaac Don] Levine. (Levine had been present at the Berle meeting. ed.) Adolf Berle, said Levine, had taken my information to the President at once. The President had laughed. When Berle was insistent, he had been told in words which it is necessary to paraphrase, to 'go jump in a lake.'
Next we have Francis P. Sempa writing at http://www.unc.edu/depts/diplomat/archives_roll/2001_07-09/sempa_chambers/sempa_chambers.html
Two years after his break with communism, Chambers attempted to warn the Roosevelt Administration about communist infiltration of the government (the same information that he revealed to HUAC in 1948). Assistant Secretary of State Adolf Berle ' brought Chambers' information directly to Roosevelt, but the president refused to believe it. FDR's response to Chambers' information typified his administration's lax attitude about the threat of communist subversion.
Then there's the 1997 Sam Tanenhaus biography of Chambers, on pages 203 and 204:
Nothing had come, after all, of his meeting with Berle in 1939.
It was not Berle's fault. The official had taken Chambers's story to the White House, to no effect. And Don Levine had made every effort to reach the president, telling the Chambers story to every contact he knew. One of Levine's recruits, columnist Walter Winchell, had gone directly to FDR but had been rebuffed. "I don't want to hear another thing about it!" Roosevelt had said angrily, jabbing a finger at the columnist. "It isn't true."
I think that leaves little doubt as to where the blame lies for the treasonous failure to get this nest of spies out of the government.
But wouldn't you know, the usual suspects are still covering up for FDR. Check out what the Public Broadcasting System has to say on its oh-so-authoritative NOVA site:
In the late 1930s Hiss was a key State Department official during the formative years of the United Nations. He eventually served as Secretary General at the 1945 San Francisco meeting at which the U.N. was founded. In 1939, however, Whitaker Chambers, a former member of the U.S. Communist Party, told Assistant Secretary of State Adolf Berle that Hiss was a communist. Berle, under whom Hiss worked, scoffed at the charge.
There's nary a hint in their article of the sorry role played by their fair-haired hero in the Oval Office. They have a feedback tab on their site and I have asked them for the source of their information, but I don't think that we should hold our breath for a response. It's too bad that quite a few people actually believe what they see on Public Television.

I must hereby concede the D.C. Dave point/Chambers' criticism against FDR/the FDR Administration, as it seems valid, substantive, and has been subsequently very consequential.
Momentous history is, as I perceive it:
FDR was attacked by both the Right and the Left throughout his 4 terms.
The Depression years held potential for an extreme change of government, whether of a Huey Kingfish Long and/or of a Father Coughlin and/or of a Norman Thomas and/or of an Earl Browder, et al.
An "anti mentality" had knocked-out the Catholic NY Governor Al Smith's presidential Democrat candidacy circa 1928.
Our country's politics reflects our overall society's accords/discords/dynamics:
There are 4 or 5 Catholics serving today on the U.S. Supreme Court.
Literary, intellectual, academic, and artistic types were joiners of idealistic & leftist causes, including Communist influenced groups or front groups.
It seemingly was normative in the 1930 U.S. to be associated with Communists.
Stalin's USSR took advantage of the situation, and implanted agents/spies.
There were many sympathizers who weren't conscious KGB "spies.
" Perhaps FDR was indeed naive and overly defensive, despite that he did know much about intelligence/spy machinations as the NYT article reports.
Ernest Hemingway and The Abraham Lincoln Brigarde were pro-left/republicans in the Spanish Civil War, late 1930s.
Alger Hiss is said to be the epitome of the intellectual-internationalist-idealistic crust.
Robert J. Oppenheimer MAY too have been a spy, as were some other atomic bomb spies.
Ezra Pound took the Rightist side and broadcast Axis propaganda from fascist Italy during the war. Reality/history/politics is dynamic and complicated.

Jan 5, 8:47 pm
Let's put a couple more nails in the FDR coffin. This is from the 2000 book by Herbert Romerstein and Eric Breindel, The Venona Secrets, Exposing Soviet Espionage and America's Traitors:
Whittaker Chambers reported to the FBI an odd story about [key Roosevelt aide] Niles that he had heard from a fellow Soviet agent named John Hermann in 1934 or 1935. A Soviet agent named Silverman (not George Silverman) was living in the next building from Alger Hiss. This Silverman apparently had an obviously homosexual affair with David Niles. Silverman had told Niles of the work of the underground apparatus in Washington, and Niles later threatened to expose the activities of the Communist group unless Silverman left his wife. To solve the problem, J. Peters, the head of the American Communist underground, ordered Hermann and Harold Ware to get Silverman to leave Washington, D. C. immediately. (pp. 180-181)
And this is from the 1966 book by Cornell Simpson, The Death of James Forrestal.
The mysterious Niles, who had an office in the White House, operated very secretively; however when various Fifth Amendment Communists were asked by congressional committees if they knew Niles, they refused to answer on the grounds that if they did so they might incriminate themselves. (p. 90)
Now I guess it's possible that Niles kept all the information he had on the communist infiltration of their administration away from Roosevelt, but he was a very close adviser to the President. More than likely, when Adolf Berle relayed Chambers' charges to the President in 1939, he was telling him something that he already knew.

re: an indirect comment that is relevant
The embarrassing sexual, homosexual, lesbian & gay phenomena figure-in these reports/incidents/anecdotes of blackmail/intimidation/spying; and the phenomena have been costly surely more than anybody can really know/calculate.
For an obvious/publicized instance:
Immediately prior to the Iraq (mis)advenrture, 2003(?), a number (5?) gay American translators was cashiered-out/fired from the U.S. military by way of the "don't ask, don't tell" flimsiness, whether Constitutional, moral, or whatever it's policy/reality.
Hmmmmmmm: There has been a decidedly lack of good/accurate intelligence about Iraq.
Draw one's own conclusions about The Human Comedy/The Human Tragedy/The Human Absurdity of reality.
Rumor I read in NATIONAL REVIEW years ago: Hiss-Chambers allegedly also had a sexual affair/encounter in 1930s.
The Public Broadcasting System is actually worse on this subject than I have characterized them in entry #7 above. Here is how they begin their short Alger Hiss profile, which is part of a larger piece on notorious spies:
"Though Alger Hiss, a U.S. State Department official, was accused of spying for the Soviet Union and imprisoned, he was never convicted of espionage per se. Throughout his life, Hiss denied any involvement in espionage, and many historians have for years remained polarized on the question of Hiss's spying; some believe that declassified documents prove he did spy for the Soviets, and some still see these allegations as groundless."
Indeed, it is possible to find, even at this late date, a few extreme left-wing ideologues, or people pretending to be such in order to mislead the public and keep it divided, who will argue that Hiss was innocent. On this subject they have lost the ability to polarize anyone who has taken any time at all to look into the matter. The battle over this question is essentially over. Alger Hiss, with the assistance of Whittaker Chambers, spied on the United States for the Soviet Union. Chambers broke with the Communists and tried very hard to get Hiss, whom he called his best friend in the party, to break with them as well, but Hiss continued as a covert operative.
So why is PBS still covering up for Alger Hiss, and, more importantly, why is it telling lies to protect Franklin Roosevelt?
Oh, by the way, as of this writing, PBS has not responded to my request for the source of their allegation that Adolf Berle scoffed at the claims of Whittaker Chambers.

"Fired up!" yells Abraham Jenkins. "Ready to go!" respond UCI's Barack Obamamites. In the midst of their chant a faint "Romney!" is heard from the obnoxious kid holding the long board. Dude, it's an Obama rally. Did you not get the memo?
The rally hype began a week ago, with posters plastered around UCI. Obama's vectorized face looked straight into the eyes of students debating whether to attend the Thursday rally at noon or grab lunch instead. The candidate's worried stare seemed to say "make the right decision, kiddo." Printed below his portrait were the words, "It's time to unite the country." But would all this blatant advertising entice students out of their notably apathetic shells?
John Lennon's "Imagine" could be quietly but distinctly heard through the audio system at the UCI Student Center. Obama supporters wearing shirts with "Yes we can" printed on them hollered at hungry students headed towards the food court. Volunteers on stage waved signs over their heads shouting "What do we want? Change! When do we want it? Now!"
Scott McLaughlin, a graduate student from UCI jumped on stage and started the "Fired up" chant again. Obama supporters from the presidential hopeful's Santa Ana offices enthusiastically responded, but the student crowd was too busy stuffing its collective face.
Abraham Jenkins, regional field organizer, took the microphone, and his presence quieted the crowd.
Jenkins is "tired of having a president that can't pronounce 'nuclear.'" Not to mention Bush's distorted motto: "Fool me once, shame on… shame on you? Fool me, you can't get fooled again." McLaughlin joined Jenkins, praising Obama's propositions for providing inexpensive health care and making education affordable. Did he say affordable? We've heard that before. But it's enough for these two to have Obama's back.
Jenkins and McLaughlin aren't alone. Madeline Oliver, president of Young Democrats, has been inspired by the candidate. Jennifer Annie who believes "America is of the common people" does as well. So does Erik Christianson, a Veteran of the Army, who is against the war.
"Fired up," the chant starts up yet again and I find myself wanting to respond. But I don't.
Maria Krish comes on, unexpected by the organizers. She was a resident of Hyde Park, Illinois during the time Obama represented this low key community. Nowadays, Hyde Park has become a place of great pride with their former representative gaining ground for the Democratic nomination. "Look back at his record," said Krisch. According to her, Obama supported bipartisan collaboration and environmental reform since 1996, which made him a leader in Hyde Park. And that is why Krisch supports Obama.
Two thousand miles away from Hyde Park, Obama seems to have gained some attention at UCI's Student Center. Whether it was the chants or the message, Obama's people are left with the anticipation of students making it to the polls.
Bob Marley's "Get up, Stand up!" plays in the background, and sure enough students trickle away with their empty plates in hand. If only Romney's single supporter would do the same.

The original plan was for Bryce Harper to start his rehab assignment Tuesday at high Single-A Potomac. Harper then said he'd prefer to wait another day or two, and the plan was altered to have Harper likely starting his rehab assignment Wednesday.
Now we're back to Tuesday again.
A source with knowledge of the situation has confirmed that Harper will head to Woodbridge, Va., on Tuesday, to make his first rehab appearance as he works back from left knee bursitis, which has bothered him for more than a month.
Harper took batting practice and participated in a workout at Nationals Park on Sunday, and he did the same today on the Nationals' off-day. It was after this workout that Harper was cleared to head out on his rehab assignment and begin getting some game action.
The plan for Harper, the source said, is to have him progressively build up his innings at Potomac. Harper is scheduled to play three innings tomorrow for the P-Nats, and then could rest Wednesday to make sure there are no lingering issues with the knee. If all goes well, he'll work up his innings numbers as the week goes on, and assuming there are no setbacks, he could be available to return either this weekend in New York, when the Nationals take on the Mets, or back in D.C. against the Brewers early next week.
Harper had originally shied away from the Nationals' plan to start his rehab assignment Tuesday, but he put on a show in his batting practice session Sunday and looked to be running at near full speed during on-field drills. He came through today's workout feeling great, per the source, and now will take the next step in his rehab.
Harper injured the knee running into the right field wall at Dodger Stadium on May 13. He landed on the DL on June 1 (retroactive to May 27), and has already been sidelined 25 games.
Comcast SportsNet was the first to report that Harper's rehab assignment would begin Tuesday.
Update: The Nationals have announced that there will be no pregame or postgame access to Harper while he is on his rehab assignment until he plays a full nine innings. We'll do our best to let you know how Harper fares in Woodbridge, Va., beginning tonight, but we won't be able to talk to the player himself until he plays a full game.

SNC Forecast Trails Estimates Amid Weaker Metal MarketsFrederic Tomesco
SNC-Lavalin Group Inc. slid the most in a year after Canada's biggest engineering company forecast lower profit for 2013 than analysts estimated as Chief Executive Officer Robert Card grapples with weakening metals markets.
Net income this year will probably climb 10 percent to 15 percent as softer commodity prices and challenges in the hydrocarbon and chemicals business erode gains from other units, SNC said in a statement today. The shares plunged 6.2 percent, their biggest single-day decline since February 2012.
The infrastructure and concessions unit, which Card created as the company reviews some of its projects for a possible sale, will fuel yearly net income along with the power division, SNC said. The CEO, who took the post in October, is reshaping the Montreal-based company after a corruption scandal that led to a fraud investigation and investor lawsuits.
"The guidance for 2013 is kind of weak," Trevor Johnson, an analyst at National Bank Financial, said in a telephone interview from in Toronto. Analysts on average had predicted 2013 earnings of C$2.84 a share, a 39 percent increase.
Fourth-quarter earnings of 63 cents a share trailed the 92-cent average estimate of analysts surveyed by Bloomberg. Net income attributable to SNC shareholders rose to C$94.6 million ($92.2 million), from C$76 million, or 50 cents, a year earlier, the company said.
'Cost Reforecasts'
Profit was hampered by "cost reforecasts," including C$49 million for an unidentified power project, and C$27.6 million for a hydrocarbons and chemicals contract, SNC said in a regulatory filing. Both are outside Canada, the company said.
SNC has "a number of challenged projects that are significant drags on the bottom line," Card said today on a conference call. Most of them "are legacies from the 2010 and 2011 timeframe," he said, without being more specific. SNC has adopted a new bidding process to prevent those problems from reoccurring, he said.
The hydrocarbons project, located in Russia, will be completed this year, while the unidentified power contract "ceases to be a risk" in 2013, Card said without elaborating.
The expenses led to a 34 percent drop, to C$24.2 million from C$36.5 million, in fourth-quarter earnings excluding the infrastructure and concessions investments unit. Net income in that unit jumped 78 percent to C$70.4 million due to increased dividends from Highway 407 in Ontario.
"It's a large miss" on total profit, said Johnson, who rates the shares outperform. "The cost reforecasts on the two projects outside of Canada are really what wiped out the engineering and construction earnings in the quarter."
Share Decline
SNC fell to C$43.01 at the close in Toronto, its biggest percentage drop since Feb. 28, 2012 -- the day it announced an internal investigation into inaccurate documentation of some payments by its construction unit. That probe led to the departure a month later of then-CEO Pierre Duhaime, who was later arrested by Quebec police and charged with fraud.
Fourth-quarter sales rose 14 percent to C$2.42 billion, SNC said. The backlog of future contracts was C$10.1 billion as of Dec. 31, little changed from a year earlier.
Card, who took over Oct. 1, has appointed new senior managers and is considering the sale of infrastructure assets from a toll road to power lines after grouping them in a new unit. The company expects to announce the main elements of a plan based on the review of those assets when it reports first-quarter earnings in May, Card said today.
"While 2012 was a challenging year for SNC-Lavalin and its employees, our revenue increased and our backlog remained solid," Card said in the statement. "The last months have been dedicated to putting the house in order and reinforcing our commitment to excellence, quality, safety and ethics."
'Significant Time'
SNC is facing investigations into allegations of corruption by authorities including the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the World Bank in connection with projects in Canada and elsewhere.
Executives and directors "have been required to devote significant time and resources to these investigations and ongoing related matters which have distracted and may continue to distract from the conduct of the company's daily business," SNC said in its filing today.
SNC said Feb. 22 that it hired Andreas Pohlmann as chief compliance officer, effective March 1. Pohlmann, a former executive at Munich-based Siemens AG, oversaw the creation and implementation of that company's compliance and corporate governance policy.
SNC "will continue to cooperate with authorities and other stakeholders to put this issue behind us as rapidly as feasible," Card said today.
'Huge Effort'
The company is "getting a lot better handle" on ethics, Card said. The CEO said he's not expecting "big surprises" in matters of compliance.
SNC is putting in "a huge effort" in trying to complete its own investigation into allegations of impropriety "so that I can tell you: 'We think we're done with that,'" he said. "I can't tell you that until we're really done. What was happening last year is continuing this year, only far better organized and controlled, and with more clear objectives."
Card said those efforts "will likely mean the continuation of some extra costs and management distraction for the balance of the year." He didn't provide figures.
Also today, the company said it raised its cash dividend by 4.5 percent to 23 cents a share. It will be payable on April 5 to shareholders of record as of March 22.

The former Vodafone chief is in the running for Yahoo's top job just months after leaving the telecoms company. His experience steering Vodafone through choppy waters certainly makes him a sound candidate to be chief executive of the internet search engine. Indeed, his extensive knowledge of the mobile phone business - a potential growth area for Yahoo - could be just what the US group needs.
Sarin left Vodafone in May after five years spent turning the mobile operator around. His tenure was marred by an ugly shareholder battle in 2006. But he nevertheless led Vodafone to record profits, cemented its international footprint and made the smart decision to keep its joint-venture stake in Verizon Wireless, which tripled in value under his leadership.
Yahoo is in need of a similar boost. Its stock has fallen over 60pc from the $31 per share offer that Microsoft made for the company in February.
Yahoo continues to lose ground in internet search to Google. It also has holdings, like its Alibaba and Yahoo Japan assets, that some shareholders are eager to get rid of.
The question is why Sarin would even consider the role. After all, Yahoo's shareholders are a disgruntled bunch. Power is split among a few main factions, including activist Carl Icahn, who recently forced his way onto the company's board. Sarin's shareholder battle at Vodafone could pale in comparison to what might transpire if Yahoo's stock doesn't recover.
Yet Sarin's mobile-phone savvy might tempt him back into the fray. As cell phones proliferate and become smarter, mobile advertising could take off.
Google, Microsoft and Yahoo have all been trying to crack the business, with no clear winner emerging so far. Sarin could use his extensive experience and contacts in the field to push Yahoo ahead - gaining another fortune, and kudos for doing so.
Diving headfirst into mobile technology could give Yahoo a way to regain ground it has lost to Google. Either way, hiring Sarin would give its shareholders a much-needed confidence boost.

Hi. I have a fussy 8 month old westie. Would this food be ok to try him on? I want to keep his diet as natural as possible & avoid things that are likely to upset the infamous delicate westie digestion! Thx.
The first thing to do is to look in a detached way and assess your dog's bodyweight. You might be better to get your vet or a vet nurse to do this. You must decide if your dog is too slim, just right (which is actually quite slim by most people's judgment) or at all heavier than ideal. In fact almost every fussy dog is either overweight or ill. I presume your dog is not ill, so he is very likely to be heavier than I would say is ideal. Obviously I have not seen your dog, so forgive me if I am wrong, but that would usually be the case.
If your dog is at all overweight then ideally you should feed him less (ie he finished a meal still feeling a bit hungry but has to stop because it is all gone!) If you do that you will certainly find that over time he becomes not at all fussy and will get to the correct bodyweight, which is better in every regard except that kind, well-meaning owners find it very difficult to do. This would then be a very good diet for your dog, should keep him very healthy and he would love to eat it (because he was genuinely hungry at all times, which you might find difficult to live with, but is more natural for a dog). It is an odd paradox that the most cared-for dogs are not necessarily the healthiest. That is very much a sign of our times.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) – Police in Memphis have charged a man in the strangulation death of his mother, whose body was found in her burning home.
According to The Commercial Appeal, Estelle Carron had taught English at a private school in Memphis for two decades before moving to New Orleans earlier this year. She had returned to Memphis for a weekend visit when her home was found in flames on Sunday. Firefighters found her body inside.
Police arrested 22-year-old Alexandre A. Kim on Tuesday, charging him with first-degree murder.
Brad Kroeker, who identified himself as Carron's companion, told the newspaper she was selling her home in Memphis and wanted to make certain her son had a place to live.
Kroeker said Carron was teaching French at Trinity Episcopal School in New Orleans.

Jazz this week: Alan Evans' Playonbrother, Tony Suggs, Dave Dickey Big Band, and more
Fortunately, our local musicians have plenty going on in a variety of genres, from straight-ahead and swing to funk to cabaret to big band to experimental. Let's go to the highlights...
Tonight, drummer Alan Evans' trio (pictured), renamed Playonbrother since their last St. Louis appearance, will perform at The Gramophone, with Belagroove opening. With the group's latest recordings seemingly edging them toward a heavier, more guitar-oriented sound, and Evans singing lead on a number of tunes, there have definitely been some changes beyond just the name. So check out some video samples of their recent performances and read more about the two albums they've put out this year in this post from last Saturday.
Also tonight, singer Joe Mancuso and guitarist Dave Black will perform a free concert for Washington University's Jazz at Holmes series at Tisch Commons in the Danforth University Center; the Funky Butt Brass Band plays a free outdoor concert at Bluebird Park in Ellisville; and up-and-coming cabaret performers Michaela Wolz, Sam Krausz, Tom Fields and Haylee Capstick will be showcased in the "First Stage Cabaret" at Kranzberg Arts Center.
On Friday, pianist Tony Suggs - originally from East St. Louis, veteran of many years with the Count Basie Orchestra, and lately a resident of Tokyo, Japan - is back home for a visit and will team up with drummer Montez Coleman and bassist Chris Thomas for a trio session at Cigar Inn.
Also on Friday, the Joe Bozzi Band will perform at Evangeline's; the St. Louis Big Band plays for dancers at Casa Loma Ballroom; Wack-A-Doo will return to the Tavern of Fine Arts; and Miss Jubilee will be swinging at the Venice Cafe.
Elsewhere around town, singer Tony Viviano returns to Fortel's in Creve Coeur; singer Erika Johnson, guitarist Tom Byrne and saxophonist Christopher Braig will be at EdgeWild Restaurant and Winery in Chesterfield; and guitarist Brian Vaccaro's trio with bassist Marc Torlina and Kyle Honeycutt will host a jam session, now recurring monthly, at the Wolf Public House.
On Saturday, saxophonist Jim Stevens and band will be funking it up by the river at The Loading Dock in Grafton; and trumpeter Jim Manley and pianist Arthur Toney will play in the old "Just Jazz" space, now called the Mahogany Grill, at the Omni Majestic Hotel downtown.
Also on Saturday, Sarah Jane and the Blue Notes return to action at C.J. Muggs in Webster Groves; and saxophonist Willie Akins will be this week's guest with bassist Bob DeBoo and friends at the Kranzberg Arts Center.
On Sunday, pianist Ptah Williams' trio will play a free outdoor concert at Ivory Perry Park, 800 N. Belt; and the Dave Dickey Big Band will play their regular fourth-Sunday show at Kirkwood Station Brewing Company, this month featuring singer Tom Heitman performing Frank Sinatra hits, plus an open dance floor.
Also on Sunday evening, Lemp Neighborhood Arts Center will present what's being billed as a night of experimental music featuring improvising saxophonist Curt Oren, Dear Rabbit, Lions Eat Grass, and saxophonist Dave Stone's Free Jazz Unit.
Looking beyond the weekend, on Monday night saxophonist "Blind" Willie Dineen and the Broadway Collective will check back in for their monthly gig downtown at BB's Jazz, Blues & Soups.

The Knesset Labor, Welfare and Health Committee approved, Monday, a bill to allow extended maternity leave with full pay for the mothers of premature babies and other newborns who require extended (up to 10 weeks) post-natal stays in the hospital. It also protects the woman's workplace and maternity pay. The measure now goes to the Knesset for its second and third reading.
The current law only allows about 60% payment.

FlashMob Demonstration To Save Romania's Stray Dogs (Video)
Animal rights activists filled the streets of Dusseldorf on Saturday for a FlashMob demonstration to protest the mass killings of stray dogs in Romania.
Volunteers from Pfotenhilfe-Europa stretched out on public streets to imitate the lives of the estimated 100,000 homeless dogs that wander every street in Romania's capital city of Bucharest. Their cell phones rang non-stop to exemplify the campaign which is called, "Wake Up Europe."
The activists handed out flyers to onlookers and got petitions signed that will be sent to the Romanian government.
The stray dog problem in Romania is in a state of crisis. The animals scrounge the streets for food while being hunted by dog catchers who are notorious for their cruelty. The government has repeatedly promised to implement protection laws and begin aggressive spay and neuter efforts, but has fallen short on enacting programs.
At this point the stray dogs are viewed as a threat by the Romanian public and many simply want them removed from the streets. Last week 230 dogs were rounded up and ordered to be euthanized.
Pfotenhilfe-Europa said they hoped the FlashMob demonstration showed their animal welfare colleagues in Romania that they are not alone in their fight.

Except that it's dog slow compared to Compiz (at least on my PC: Athlon 64 3500+, GF 6800GT, Fedora 10). It's actually true for the whole KDE 4.2 - starts up almost twice as long as GNOME (from GDM screen to actual desktop) and window animations are jerky. None of this happens with GNOME + Compiz.
Which Nvidia driver? I had the same problem with all drivers < 180.22. Nvidia has stated themselves that their previous drivers had issues with KDE4.
It's smooth for me (some 7600 geforce or so) but I don't know what compiz is like.
I'm using the most recent driver from RPM Fusion which, as of now, is:
I hope this is the driver bug, because the video playback (in GNOME) is much slower now after recent updates. I'm not sure whether the latest xorg update caused this or if it's the nVidia driver (I don't have time to investigate this now). Regardless, the whole KDE 4.2 seems slow even with Desktop Effects disabled in KWin, which should rather eliminate nVidia bug from the suspected causes.
If you have a Geforce, try updating the driver.
Wish I could say the same - I have a GeForce 6600GT and the 180.22 driver didn't fix anything for me.
I'm definitely still a fan of KDE 4.2 and Kwin but my desktop effects have been jerky right from the start(mainly the fade-in/out of windows, incl the fade-in to the desktop on startup).
I've been using 180.22 since it was in the nvidia repo and it didn't change anything for me. I'm led to believe there is no point making changes in the xorg.conf since most of the successful options are now on by default in the new driver.
The ONE thing that gave me success is turning OFF direct rendering within the kde control panel - desktop options. Made things much smoother...
This makes no sense whatsoever. Apparently direct rendering should lower cpu usage but I found it made almost no difference. The only problem was kaffeine didn't perform quite so well when watching tv (dvb). but this was only slightly noticeable.
I'm still happy using kde 4 though - dont get me wrong. I just put up with the sub-par graphics performance. Linux seems to be going backwards in this area for me. Hopefully they can fix it soon, either through xorg or kde or both.
Even with Nvidia issues worked out, KDE4 is still slow. Plasma and Kwin are good designs with a lot of planning, but they still need a lot of work to knock out bugs and work out the bottle necks.
Kwin and compiz do share code. They're called X extensions like composite, dri2, etc. Beyond that, they are two very different projects with little in common.
What they CAN do is collaborate better with Freedesktop (and Gnome) on standardizing how desktop elements are handled. Specifically, wallpaper (wallpaper in plasma sits above what all non-KDE apps consider wallpaper), "Desktop Activities" and "Widget Layers"

Having problems with your Acer AL1916W 19" LCD Monitor ?
No signal with acer moniter
\015 Seems like when i leave it on over night, it is on no signal when i wake up. sometimes when i turn them both off, and both on at the same time it works, other times itll just randomly start working\015
Answers :
Check your power settings on your PC (Start Button ---> Settings ---> Control Panel ---> Power Options)
\015\012Under the "Power Schemes" tab you will find the dialogue "Turn off monitor:" and then your choice. The power option refers to the SIGNAL sent to the monitor, not the actual monitors power-source itelf (although some can control both). It will simply stop sending a signal to the monitor and "put it to sleep"
\015\012Change the setting to what is appropriate for your use, and you should be set!
\015\012Hope this helps!

Two women have been given curfew orders after pleading guilty to fraudulently claiming money.
Margaret Walmsley, 52, of Greenwood, Clayton Brook, pleaded guilty to dishonestly claiming over £5,500 and Ann Wilding, 51, of Buckshaw Hall Close, Astley Village, pleaded guilty to claiming over £3,500 in two separate prosecutions brought by Chorley Council.
Magistrates heard that Walmsley had obtained over £5,500 after making false statements about her capital.
She completed two claim forms and failed to disclose on both forms that she had capital well in excess of the maximum amount.
In a separate case, heard on the same day, magistrates were told that Wilding had received more than £3,500 in benefits after failing to report that her earnings had increased.
Preston Magistrates were told that Wilding's claim was initially correct but when she started to work regular extra hours she failed to tell the council that her earnings had increased.
The court was told the council only became aware of the change in Wilding's circumstances when she reported that her earnings had reduced because she was off sick.
Councillor Peter Wilson, who oversees benefits at Chorley Council, said: "These cases demonstrate the importance of being honest when making a claim and telling us if your circumstances change in any way.
"The first one of these cases came to light through a data matching exercise, which identified an undisclosed amount in Margaret Walmsley's name. When she was questioned she admitted to having a substantial amount of capital invested in several accounts, which had not previously been declared.
"In the second case, the council had only become aware of Ann Wilding's circumstances when she reported that her earnings had reduced because she was off sick. However, when she provided her pay slips, it became clear that her reduced earnings were in fact higher than previously reported.
"Both women now have a criminal record and have had to repay the overpayments. Anyone who is claiming any benefits should contact the council immediately if your circumstances change and please be honest to avoid a criminal record."
The court was told that Margaret Walmsley did not have an extravagant lifestyle and had not had a holiday for over 10 years. She has now repaid the overpayment in full.
Walmsley was given credit of an early plea and her previous good character and was sentenced to a three month curfew order and ordered to pay costs of £85 and a victim surcharge of £60.
In the other case, the court heard that Wilding was in rent arrears and was in danger of losing her home. She has now entered into an arrangement with the council to repay the overpaid benefit.

Distinguish between crowding out and crowding in.

Crowding out is a macroeconomic situation which originates from government deficit spending. In such a case the government spends more than it has, forcing it to borrow the rest to cover the shortfall. Shortfalls in the economy have a tendency to increase interest rates which ultimately reduces corporate investments. The government, in an attempt to raise more funds, will issue government bonds which will attract most savers away from private bonds. This situation results in the crowding out effect where the private institutions suffer a reduction in their access to the economy's savings.
Crowding in also originates from government deficit spending but relies mostly on how much the government puts in to increase economic activity. An increase in economic activity creates an opportunity for businesses to increase their operations towards profitability. Thus the private sector crowds in to satisfy increasing consumer needs.
Crowding in advances a counter argument against a strict crowding out hypothesis. This is because while crowding in asserts economic growth due to deficit spending, crowding out suggests increased interest rates caused by deficit spending.
Crowding out is an economic phenomenon which takes place when increased governmental spending decreases private sector investments and fails to increase aggregate demand. Higher government spending, in time of economic prosperity, needs capital. This amount is invested by private investors, including individuals, companies, etc. To attract this capital, government has to raise the interest rate of securities so as to make them attractive. The higher interest rate means high borrowing rates which discourage people from borrowing money and causes private sector investments to fall.
In times of economic recession, people and businesses are desperate to save their money and invest it securely. In such times, the government can borrow money even at a lower interest rate and continue deficit spending. However, in such a scenario, it is likely that government spending will increase productive activities and boost demand, thus leading to increased private sector investment. For businesses, crowding in is a preferable scenario as it boosts profits.
Crowding out refers to the times when "increased public sector spending replaces, or drives down, private sector spending." This requires the government to use borrowed money to pay for its spending. Essentially, the government does not have enough money to "pay bills" or finance programs, so it uses money it does not have. This increases the interest rates for "normal" people who then refuse to borrow money (for any reason). This lessens the amount of money the private sector (not controlled by the state) puts into the economy.
Crowding in, on the other hand, is defined as when governmental deficits' spur investment. In this, government spending actually increases a demand for goods. When a demand for goods is high, private sector spending increases.

Peter Egner, the Bellevue man facing deportation because of his alleged involvement with Nazi-run organization that planned and carried out annihilation of thousands of people during World War II, reportedly has died.
Information received by the Bellevue Reporter indicates that Egner, 86, a resident of a Bellevue nursing home, died Monday.
His attorney, and a person who answered the phone at the nursing home, would not comment.
His trial in federal court in Seattle was scheduled to begin Feb. 22.
Egner had denied taking part in the mass murders.

Erin has piercing eyes. As soon as they catch yours you won't be able to look away. She also has a cute smile, a tight tummy and a nice pair of natural tits. I love that her teen tits are so perky and round and I love that she digs wearing a variety of sexy outfits, including lingerie.

I didn't watch the beginning.....you have GOT to be kidding me....!
Boring and confusing! There is very little of interest in this Bachelor Pad show. I couldn't wait for Bachelor or Bachlorette shows to air, but it suits me fine if I miss this one. Already tonight I was switching back and forth to Americas Got Talent,,, and that was a rerun.Quote:

She seemed smarter than that but I guess I was wrong. I think the other bad move was trying to send Kypton home instead of one of the others like Kovacs or David. I doubt Nikki would have been so torn by voting for one of them.
Not sure why I'm even watching but will probably do it again next week. :shrug
In my opinion the biggest mistake of the night was the outsiders picking Kipton to send home. I missed the first part. Who made that decision, Krisily?Gia had sound reasoning as well as personal reasons for giving the rose to Wes. He DID help her win the pie contest with his encouragement & coaching. I do think she should NOT have told Criag whe was giving it to him if there was any possibility that she would not. I think it was mean to blame Nikki for everything going wrong in the end.Quote:

This was more boring than Big Brother on a lazy afternoon. We need a strategy thread here as well to keep all the alliances straight.
Gia did make a bad strategic move for her alliance, and then there is Nikki, who has been on the reunions and should be with the cool clique, but she is unattached. I can see why she flipped emotionally, but she just destroyed her alliance.
The "dates" are the dumbest stuff I've ever seen - although it was a kick to see Jonathan act The Bachelor role. He handled himself fairly well, except that he, as Gia, voted his heart instead of his alliance. They should all read the BB handbook before going on these mini-group dates.
And, where was the fun on these supposed dates? Rolling around in paint and sitting on Moroccan rugs? HUH?
Stupid Show. :(
Tenley told Zap2it, "Elizabeth and I are friends ... once we moved past this point that we're going to see a smidge of tonight, we were fine ... but I had said something about Elizabeth and Kovacs, knowing some of their past ... and I was comparing it to the relationship Kiptyn and I had, and I guess I said something that wasn't necessary and unfortunately, I think I hurt Elizabeth's feelings, which made me sad because I hate to hurt friends' feelings ... I didn't say anything wrong, I was comparing basically that they had had a past relationship and Kiptyn and I had always just been friends."
If Tenley was actually as "immature" as everyone seems to think, kiptyn would be long gone. Kovacs too if Elizabeth is like her onscreen personality
OMG ... if tonight is a prelude to the rest of the season, can they cancel it mid-season? I DVR'd it, then fast-forwarded for most of the show. It was so incredibly boring, stupid and gross tonight.
The pie eating, who wants to see people throwing up?
The strategy discussions ... for the majority of the show? I mean, strategy is discussed before, during and after the dates ... in fact, was anything else shown of conversations besides strategy conversations?
The dates ... snoozefest.
Tenley ... really? How old is she? I was so sick of her talking about her ex on Jake's season; now I am just sick of her.
And what is Melissa doing on this show; although I did like her outfit at the painting date.
Ugh for the entire show tonight.
I saw only 10 minutes of it and then again in that 10 minutes I saw more than I wanted to with this show(kind of boring for me). I kind of thought Ashley might have a thing for Jonathan thou I think his biggest mistake was in giving Gwen that rose thinking she cared for him but even before she said not in a million years in her VO, I knew she was playing him. I think that the other girls will remember that later JMO.Quote:

Preceptor needed
Hi!I am a RN-to-BSN student and I am in need of a preceptor to watch me assess a few patients and evaluate me. I am currently not working so I don't really know any other RNs who would be able to help. The RN must at least have a BSN. If anyone can point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it! Also, if it helps any I am in the West Texas online program.

This was not a good weekend to be a sports fan.
The near-certain first Triple Crown in more than a generation was denied by a last-moment injury to Kentucky Derby and Preakness champ I'll Have Another, leaving one with the impression that horse racing is continuing to head down a path where the sport itself will soon be as dead as Barbaro. (In the thoughts of some, it smelled more like a fishy "we stopped doping the horse, who can no longer win, so let's just say he's hurt" type of deal.)
Boxing may be in an even deeper grave. In no corner of the internet have I found anyone who thinks Timothy Bradley actually beat Manny Pacquaio on Saturday night, leading to continued cries that the sport is bedeviled by corruption.
Fans of Anybody But The Heat were dealt a bitter disappointment when Miami erased a double-digit deficit to beat the Celtics and reach the NBA Finals.
In short, you couldn't help but wonder why we waste so much time and money on this sports nonsense. With the Tony Awards on Sunday night, maybe there was still time to get into theater…
Turns out the thing we needed to save us was an obscure college baseball team from Long Island.
Stony Brook jumped into the history books on Sunday night, beating LSU 7-2 in Game 3 of the Baton Rouge Super Regional to clinch its first-ever berth in the College World Series. The Seawolves are only the second No. 4 regional seed to reach Omaha, following eventual 2008 national champion Fresno State.
Though there is a connection, Stony Brook and Fresno State don't belong in the same discussion. When Stony Brook coach Matt Senk took over the program 22 years ago, it wasn't a full-time position. Nor was the team in Division I — the Seawolves played in scholarship-free D-III.
Stony Brook made the move up to Division I in 2000, so its relatively quick ascension up the ladder is impressive on its own merit. But a northern team making a trip to Omaha is downright outrageous. The Seawolves are the first team from the Northeast to reach the College World Series since Maine in 1986, and the first from New York since St. John's in 1980.
There is perhaps no disadvantage in sports as big as the one dealt to northern college baseball teams with the season starting in late February. Stony Brook's first home game was against Iona on March 14. Its next two home games were postponed because of weather.
At the same juncture of the season, LSU had already played 17 home games, and its only two road games were at in-state Tulane and McNeese State. With good reason — LSU's Alex Box Stadium drew more fans in each one of the three games of the Super Regional than had seen Stony Brook at home all season.
Things don't have to stop here for the Little Engine That Could. The Seawolves have seven draft picks and were the first team in the country to 50 wins. They are clearly capable of more in Omaha.
Stony Brook may even be joined by another Cinderella — Kent State heads into Monday's Super Regional Game 3 at Oregon with a chance to become the second northern mid-major to crash college baseball's biggest party.
Finally, something worth rooting for.
