Michael Bond
One day, a few years ago, Michael Bond was on a train, he says, when he overheard two elderly women talking about him. "Oh that Michael Bond was great." Said one, and he admits he felt a burst of pride. "Shame he died years ago." Said the second, and any swelling of ego was swiftly deflated. His ability to tell such stories with a wink and a nod shows that even at eighty-six, one of our finest children's authors still has it. In the creation of Paddington Bear, Bond provided the 20th Century with one of its finest, its loveliest, and its culturally important icons.
Michael Bond was born in 1926, the same year Gustav Stresemann won the Nobel Peace Prize, and Stanley Baldwin declared martial law over the General Strike. He was born in Reading, which has a Premiership football club now, but in those days had to settle for being on the River Thames, and having a train link to London that terminated at Paddington station. Funny, that. He survived this tumultuous year to be born in, and later survived the Blitz, and war service, to grow up to be a seemingly mild mannered young writer sell odd bits to various sources from 1945 onwards, as well as working as a camera operator for the BBC. He'd been suggested several times to write for children, by people who could spot talent when they saw it, but had never considered until a chance meeting that changed his life.
A chance meeting with a stuffed toy.
Bond explains in his biography:
"I bought a small toy bear on Christmas Eve 1956. I saw it left on a shelf in a London store and felt sorry for it. I took it home as a present for my wife Brenda and named it Paddington as we were living near Paddington Station at the time. I wrote some stories about the bear, more for fun than with the idea of having them published. After ten days, I found that I had a book on my hands. It wasn't written specifically for children, but I think I put into it the kind things I liked reading about when I was young."
Write what you know. Write what you love. Just write and see what happens. Within the space of one anecdote, Bond presents three useful mantras for young writers. Which sums up the brilliance of Michael Bond, to entertain and educate within the same syllables is no easy feat. I'm also glad to know I'm not the only adult in existence that sees the sole teddy bear left in a shop and feels bad for it.
A Bear Called Paddington was published in 1958. It was a sensation, which still holds up as well today as it did on publication. Like subsequent tales, it manages to describe the adventures of a refugee Andean Bear from Darkest Peru and its reactions to life in modern MacMillan Britain in a way that is both gripping and wonderfully humorous. The Michael Bond stand in, Mr Brown, acts as a great foil against the intelligent but naive and easily befuddled bear, as does the ever-frustrated Mr Curry act with great trepidation as the permanently put upon straight man, Hyacinth Bucket three decades early and with an ego as swiftly deflated.
"The great advantage of having a bear as a central character", says Bond "is that he can combine the innocence of a child with the sophistication of an adult." One of the earliest Paddington stories, A Bear in Hot Water, remains possibly my favourite, as he attempts to have a bath, which as we all know is a tricky operation at the best of times, and more so if you've never seen one before. The results are typical Paddington, and Mandy might jokingly add here that his declaration "never to want one of those again" at the end is a mantra I took too easily to heart growing up. Heh.
The Paddington books would live forever if they were merely great children's books. They are that, but so much more. For the tenancy at the heart of the novels, and the series, is of charity and love, and a beloved children's series that preaches both of those is worth so much more in my eyes. They exist from the very beginning, as the Browns find Paddington at the station that names him. The nametag on his blue duffel coat, which reads the legend: "Please look after this Bear". What marks out Mr and Mrs Brown as the books human heroes, and ours, is that they do. The parallels existed at the time between World War evacuees and the bear, as much as they do now between the bear and asylum seekers. The exotic other appears in need and the characters group round to help it. That's a brilliant message to give to our children, and all the more powerful for Michael Bond not realising his books could be read in that light, so the message is not hammered over the head of the readers.
When Bond came to realise the modern significance and reading people were given to his creation, it would have been easy for him to back away from it slowly. But that has never been his style. He took it head on and cherished it. When writing his second last Paddington novel in 2007*, Here and Now, Bond said in an interview with the Guardian:
"I think it's quite good not to sweep it under the carpet," he said. According to Bond, there's no duty for writers to explore difficult subjects, but authors should be "aware of them, and aware that life isn't easy for someone who's left their country and can't go back".
Paddington "hasn't changed at all", but the new stories "reflect life as it is", Bond said. "It is a very different world to the world of the original book. I think life was much more settled then."
Guardian 11th December 2007
*Second last at time of writing, as Bond has just finished a new Paddington novel, and claims the lovable bear may have a few more hits in him yet. Long may they continue!
The ideas don't just stop at the bear himself though. Nicholas Lezzard noted a few years before in the same paper that: "it is nice that Bond took the trouble to introduce Mr Gruber, the kindly, courteous Hungarian antique-shop owner, representative of the displaced wartime immigrants whom Bond came to know when working for the BBC Monitoring Service."
His book series earned a television spin off, with a genius pastiche of Singin' in the Rain a highlight, but you can buy Paddington everything's these days.
Not merely content to be a symbol of charity within his novels, Paddington is now the symbol of charity in real life, having been the mascot of Action Medical Research since 1976. Bond's involvement with the charity has raised millions of pounds worth of aid to help babies and young children in desperate need.
We so rarely see a children's icon, which promotes the ancient rights of persecuted peoples to come to this land, that it is right to champion it when it comes along. Bond admits he hadn't considered that reading of his loved character when he devised it, but he fully endorses it as a reading.
Anyone can write a ripping yarn if they put their mind to it. To do that, and create a character which promotes love and charity, and all that is good in society, while poking fun at all the stupidity of red tape and egos and the like, is wonderful. To use that character to help in real life, and to write and become active within the charities though is a different beast all together. Paddington Bear and Michael Bond. They're pretty much inseparable. Both have done the world a great deal of good.
At a mere fifty-four years and eighty-six years respectively, may they do the world a great good for many more years to come.
Judith Kerr
"I really did have this dream when I was nine or 10 years old. It was very odd, because I knew all about Hitler and what was going on, but I also used to have fears that he was hiding behind the curtain in the lavatory. As a child, you can think of a thing in two different ways at the same time, and I'm not sure it doesn't happen to you as an adult, too, if you're very frightened. The other reality is, if anything, more frightening."
A fine writer who is now a supportive mother and grandmother to other writers ("who write corkers" she says), Judith Kerr continues to write novels for children even to this day. Like Bond, she is of the highest rank of children's writer, both fun and important.
When Kerr was a child, her family had to escape from the Nazis. A family friend she remembered, who thought he would be safe as his only connection by blood to the Jews was a grandmother he never met, was later killed. A choice of which cuddly toy to bring on the flight to France and later England spurned the title of her autobiographical tale of childhood, When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit. The author of the Mog books, and countless other children's novels, and the widow and guiding force of Nigel Kneale, Judith Kerr is still writing in her ninetieth year.
All great children's writers have one classic to their name. Judith Kerr has not only Pink Rabbit, but also the entire Mog series and the wonderful The Tiger Who Came to Tea. She was a writer who worked for the Red Cross, and writing had run in her family: not only had her dad been a well-respected writer in Germany before they had to flee, but her daughter is aiming to take up writing as a career also. Like Bond, she has an OBE for children's writing, but combines it with Holocaust education. Like Bond, she manages to juggle great works of writing with great feats of charity.
The Tiger, a story that seems ageless but was born in 1968, is the ideal story of a human like tiger whose success has now transformed into plays and memorabilia, as well as several foreign language translations.
"Judith has created a totally feasible unfeasible experience, the juxtaposition of two realities in a way that would be impossible in our world. The result is both very funny and slightly unsettling."
Michael Rosen (a man who knows a thing or two about children's books)
Her survival was of a traumatic childhood: her dad, even before the escape, had bodyguards in case of a Nazi assassination plot, and later had trouble finding work, tragically ending his life; her mother, wound up a translator at the Nurnberg trials; and her brother Michael was imprisoned during the World War as a friendly enemy alien. Even now, Kerr recounts her child hardships with nary a bitterness in the world, which makes one almost over awed.
Mog the cat, the forgetful cat, remained a children's favourite until Kerr killed him off for good in 2002. It was important, she felt, to convey how to deal with the tragic loss of a loved pet to younger readers.
She is a lady who came a long way in her life, and continues to teach with all her wise words and books.
Writing is as much as tool for learning as it is for entertaining. When we combine both, we have the legends. These two were just two of my favourites who combined both.
I started this series in a more jovial tone. To ease the reader in. Next time, we get a bit darker and edgier, but for all the right reasons, as we focus on one ordinary man in a horrific situation who did more than almost anyone could have, and is rightfully loved worldwide in his old age. And a woman, sadly passed on since I came to think of this series, who is for my money one of the most inspirational, brave and couragous people who ever lived. Till next time!

Yesterday we fished two lakes in Washburn County and did real good. We caught a bunch of fish, everything from Northern, walleye, bass, bluegill, pumpkinseed, crappie to perch as well. We had a great time.
We had our best action in the 7 to12 foot zone, leeches were the bait of choice.
Good luck and good fishing,

Eurasian Energy Security
By Jeffrey Mankoff
- Publisher: Council on Foreign Relations
- Number Of Pages: 66
- Publication Date: February 2009
- Binding: Paperback
This Council Special Report, authored by Jeffrey Mankoff, explores the challenges faced by consumer and supplier alike in Europe and Eurasia. It looks at Russia's rise as an energy power, analyzing its control of supplies and delivery systems and its investments in energy infrastructure across Europe, as well as questions about the potential of its production. The report also examines Europe's difficulties in forging a common policy on energy supply and recommends a two-pronged strategy of integration and diversification. It urges Europe to integrate both internally—developing a single EU gas market—and externally—tying Russia's energy sector to Europe and its more transparent regulations. It also recommends that Europe seek new sources of energy from both non-Russian suppliers and non-fossil fuels. Eurasian Energy Security is a thoughtful work that illustrates the need for a coherent European energy policy and argues that the ongoing financial crisis provides a unique opportunity to tackle the issue. At the same time, it recognizes that European dependence on Russian energy will be a reality well into the future and that Europe can increase its energy security only by working with—not against—Russia. The report is a sophisticated contribution to the debate on an issue that can at any moment hit home for millions.

It comprises a hierarchical organization of the genes, where each locus is explicitly linked to a non-terminal of the grammar being used. This one-to-one correspondence ensures that the modification of a gene does not affect the derivation options of other non-terminals. We present a comprehensive set of optimization results obtained with problems from three different categories: symbolic regression, path finding, and predictive modelling. In most of the situations SGE outperforms standard GE, confirming the effectiveness of the new representation. To understand the reasons for SGE enhanced performance, we scrutinize its main features. We rely on a set of static measures to model the interactions between the representation and variation operators and assess how they influence the interplay between the genotype-phenotype spaces. The study reveals that the structured organization of SGE promotes an increased locality and is less redundant than standard GE, thus fostering an effective exploration of the search space.", }

Here is an interesting quote taken from a book by Dr. Peter Jones:
It is Satan's sincerest wish that we should never make a negative judgment about those who set out to destroy the Church and its foundations, or who spread deadly heresy and false doctrine. Correspondingly, the real reason that human non-judgmentalism in any form is becoming so fashionable in this age is that it makes the concept of a judging, avenging God seem ridiculous, anachronistic and implausible.
- Alan Morrison, The Serpent, p.200. As cited in Peter Jones, Spirit Wars: Pagan Revival in Christian America (Mukilteo, WA, USA: WinePress Publishing, 1997), p. 74
Sounds familiar? This comes from a section in the book under the heading The Modern Heresy: Heresy-hunting.

WASHINGTON (CBS.MW) -- The U.S. Dept. of Housing and Urban Development has settled a series of investigations into illegal kickbacks and referrals in the mortgage business that illustrate a number of ways consumers may be being duped into paying higher fees.
The settlements, announced a week ago, involve overpriced loans for mobile homes, and overcharges for flood-insurance, tax-escrow and credit-reporting services. The settlements total more than $2.2 million for consumer housing counseling and education, refunds to homebuyers and payments to the government.
"Settlement service providers have a right to be reasonably compensated for their services. They don't have a right to collect illegal kickbacks and unearned fees," said HUD Secretary Mel Martinez.
"American families shouldn't be overcharged for mortgage services and HUD will continue enforcement action against these abuses."
Fees and referrals
The cases involve alleged violations of the Real Estate Settlement and Procedures Act, which HUD enforces. RESPA requires disclosures to homebuyers of settlement costs and provides protections to consumers during the process of closing a mortgage.
The settlements include agreements with The First American Corp. FAF, +0.19% and Transamerica Corp., providers of flood determination and tax-settlement services to hundreds of lenders throughout the country; Conseco Finance Corp. CNC, +2.64% one of the nation's largest lenders; Arvida/JMB Partners, a large Florida builder; and Central Pacific Mortgage Corp., a national home lender.
The companies cooperated in HUD's investigations and entered into the settlements to resolve the findings of HUD's investigations without admitting wrongdoing.
The largest settlement, $1.2 million, is being paid by The First American Corp. HUD investigated the Santa Ana, Calif. company, certain of its subsidiaries in various parts of the country and mortgage lenders, over allegations that First American provided flood determination services and tax services for reduced or no fees on existing loan portfolios in exchange for exclusive servicing of new loans.
HUD said those transactions amounted to referrals of future business that are prohibited by RESPA. But First American said such agreements might actually save consumers money.
"First American believes there were valid reasons for the existence of these practices, which promoted efficiency in business operations for both the lender and the service provider and consequently helped to limit settlement service costs," the company said in a statement.
"First American notes that in the settlement agreement HUD recognizes that, under certain circumstances, the practice of loading the lender's existing portfolio without requiring additional payment for that service may continue."
The company said it was "pleased" to make the contributions to the nonprofit groups and said it "applauds" HUD's efforts to "bring clarity and guidance on these issues to the lending and service communities."
Flawed law
Interpretations of RESPA, enacted in 1974, have been a sticking point in the realty industry in the last few years. Martinez has acknowledged that the law has not kept pace with technological changes in the realty industry and has called for an overhaul.
"RESPA curbed many troubling practices, but the process of buying a home has changed a great deal since (1974) and the law has not kept pace with industry practices," Martinez told mortgage bankers last month.
Nonetheless, Martinez said he was committed to zealous enforcement of the act.
"These cases demonstrate HUD's determination to enforce RESPA and to stop illegal referral fees and unearned fees that may ultimately raise the price that unsuspecting families pay for their homes," Martinez said.
Among the other cases:
- San Francisco-based Transamerica Corp. will pay $613,000 to HUD and the U.S. Treasury in a settlement agreement concerning its practice of providing free or reduced-cost portfolio reviews to lenders in exchange for those lenders referring future flood certification and portfolio monitoring review business. HUD said Transamerica provided information as part of the investigation and did not admit to any violation of RESPA in entering into the settlement agreement.
- Conseco Finance Corp. of St. Paul, Minn., agreed to pay $190,000 to settle claims its commercial loan division funded manufactured home dealers' floor plan inventories at reduced interest rates in exchange for referral of business for retail loans to buyers in land/home combination transactions. The lender said it would cease the program.
- Central Pacific Mortgage Corp., a California-based national lender, agreed to pay $50,000 and set aside $35,000 for potential refunds to settle claims that hundreds of borrowers were overcharged for credit-report fees from 1998 to 2001. But HUD also found that there had been instances of borrowers being undercharged, too. Central Pacific cooperated in the investigation and HUD did not find a pattern and practice of illegal conduct
- Arvida/JMB Partners, a large builder and realty company in Florida, will refund $45,750 that it charged buyers who used their own title agents at closing. The builder's practice at its Weston community in Broward County had been to charge a percentage of the houses' sales price for closing costs, a portion of which was paid for certain closing costs and retained by the builder and not specifically accounted for. Those practices will stop, HUD said.
- HUD also has entered into 38 settlements with lenders for violations of the anti-kickback provisions of RESPA in the cases involving the referral of flood and tax servicing in exchange for free review of existing loan portfolios. As part of these settlements $127,000 has been contributed to 30 consumer housing counseling/education agencies.

The Great Salvador Dali, 1931
In general, there is an inverse relationship between an American's education and income level and the amount of unplanned time on his calendar. It follows, then, that the more accomplished a person is, the busier he tends to be. I once invited Dr. Aart de Geus to UC Berkeley event. Aart is the CEO of Synopsys and an exceptionally nice person. His response to the invitation was something like "I am sorry, but my calendar is booked for the next year. Please contact my assistant so that I can attend the following year."
Most Americans are not as busy as Aart, but his case does show the American tendency to plan the future with a high degree of precision. This planning tendency applies to both business and social calendars.
Russian social calendar setting operates on a different philosophy. The following dialog exemplifies the difference in an imagined conversation between two friends in Moscow, one Russian, the other American:
A: Let's meet this Saturday.
R: Sounds good.
A: How is 3:00 pm?
R: Why don't you call me on Saturday morning so that we can set a time?
A: If you are busy at 3, how is 4:00 pm?
R: OK, but call me on Saturday morning so that we can confirm the time.
A: How about 2:00 pm then?
R: Just call me on Saturday morning so that we can set the time.
A: What are you doing on Saturday? Let's just set the time and be over with it.
R: I don't know what I will be doing, so I don't know exactly when I will be available. Call me Saturday, because I will know then.
A: Why don't you fix this event on your Saturday calendar and plan you events around it?
R: Are you hard of hearing, or is there something else wrong with you? I told you to call me on Saturday so we can fix the time.
A: Boy, what a strange place ... how can you guys live with so much uncertainty?Looking at the US from the outside, there is something peculiar - and probably unhealthy - about our hyper-planned American lifestyle. However, making plans to plan later is ... well ... at least un-American.

AFC Wimbledon captain Barry Fuller dropped in for a chat with young footballers at Ursuline High School for Girls on Tuesday April 25.
The comprehensive, which teaches girls aged 11 to 18, has already won the under-16's Surrey County Cup, and has a team in the under-18's final. The Wimbledon captain took part in a question and answer session with year seven girls as part of the English Football League's Community Day of Action.
Mr Fuller said: "It has been great to come here and see the enthusiasm of the girls. Getting girls into football should be promoted a bit more. There are a lot of girls who enjoy playing football, but a lot of them feel there are not enough opportunities for them. Having three girls myself, I am all up for trying to promote it."
"The AFC Wimbledon Ladies team are flying at the moment, winning trophies all over the place, and it is good to see our Foundation coaches coming into schools to help out."
AFC Wimbledon Foundation Coach Emma O'Connor has been coordinating student football opportunities at the school for the last three years.
Rachel Corrigan is a PE teacher at the school. She said: "It has been great having Barry with us. The girls are really inspired by his story because Barry has had barriers in his career and it is good for the girls to hear that these can be overcome.
"The appetite for football at Ursuline School is very big. We have successful teams from years seven and eight right the way through to year 13.
"AFC Wimbledon have done a great job in helping to coach our year seven squad this year. This is an excellent end to a great season for us."
AFC Wimbledon are competing in League One this season for the first time in the team's history. Captained by Mr Fuller, the football club beat Plymouth Argyle 2-0 in the League Two final at Wembley last May.

30s convict-gangster- people. i love movies like this. i'd like a porkpie hat, and maybe 1703's trousers.
the 1st thing I though was neigh. and then I thought about carousel rides. Also, I thought about the glittery red cat we held at our house for my grandmother. I miss carousel rides! anyway, i'm posting from school, it's 10:05 AM. It's Friday and when I go home, i'm getting money from my mother and going thrifting. i thought of this song: sunday smile - beirut.

I think i'm more inspired by menswear than womenswear. I've been looking for boots like this (on the right) for a while, nothing ever fits my tiny size 3 feet. I haven't grown since 7th grade. I'm in love with the entire outfit, especially the coat, and the length of both trousers.

I like the first ones for the jazz age flapper i-party-all-night-with-a-boa effect (my favorite era), the second because of the espadrille?, although I think only the espadrille would do it for me. The last ones are my favorite, because i love the height, and (suprise) the colors. It reminds me of dancing.

The 16th edition of "Is My Blog Burning is hosted by Seattle Bon Vivant – the theme; eggs.
I decided to prepare an egg liquor (a kind of egg nog) in my Thermomix,
a nice but quite expensive kitchen gadget which allows you to mix and
cook at the same time. Some years ago I bought the old model in an
auction, which saved me a lot of money 🙂
This is all you need: Egg yolks, sugar, vanilla sugar, evaporated
milk, Schnaps and 10 minutes of time. So here's the quick recipe:
Egg Liquor
6 egg yolks
250 g sugar
1 pk vanilla sugar
170 g evaporated milk (10% fat)
250 ml Doppelkorn Schnaps (38 percent alcohol)
Put egg yolks, sugar and vanilla sugar in the bowl of the Thermomix
and mix for 10 minutes at 80°C on speed 1. After 4 minutes slowly add
evaporated milk and alcohol. That's it!
Pour into a decorative glass bottle and cap.
Self made egg liquor makes a nice present.
You can use the liquor for the following muffins:
Egg Liquor Muffins with Chocolate
125 g soft butter
2 eggs
125 g sugar
125 g flour
1/2 pk baking powder
3 tb flaked chocolate
75 g semi-sweet coating chocolate
25 g white coating chocolate
Place the paper muffin forms in the muffin pan. Preheat oven to 200°C.
With an handheld mixer beat the butter until foamy. Beat the eggs
and the sugar until well combined. Mix butter and egg mixture. Sieve
flour and baking powder, add the flour to the egg-mixture
carefully folding into the dough, add the egg liquor and the
flaked chocolate gently but thoroughly folding it into the batter.
Fill the forms 2/3 full with the muffin batter. Place the pan in the
middle of the oven and bake the muffins for about 15-20
minutes. Let cool on a rack.
Melt the chocolates separately in the microwave oven.
Glaze the muffins with the dark chocolate, let dry. Fill the white chocolate in a small paper piping bag and pipe some delicate lines across the top of the muffins. Enjoy!

Fraser McKinley takes thinking and consideration to Olympic levels, in the most non-jock kind of way. Metered, thoughtful, precise and with a sense of calm and determination, McKinley farms his plots of the Hoffmann's 'Dallwitz' vineyard from vines planted in 1996, 1995, 1994, 1960 and those planted somewhere-or-other prior to 1912. The varying parcels have been tended by hand by McKinley, nurtured in a way that has encouraged a gradual change across the entire vineyard. Farming is done without chemicals and set to lunar rhythms. Winemaking follows a similar non-interventionalist path, in as much as adding things or manipulation of the wine during fermentation, though of course this is a highly considered, crafted wine that takes on (in version #6), a blend of barrels from 2016 (47%), 2015 (44%), 2013 (5%) and 2012 (4%). Quite a remarkable wine, indeed.

Ben Wheatley stunned us with KILL LIST earlier this year (or last year, depending on what country you're living in), and has the violent road trip comedy SIGHTSEERS on tap for us next. (Check out the trailer HERE.) And despite his very British sense of humor and his penchant for nasty violence, the director is planning on coming to the states with an outlandish cops-and-monsters picture called FREAKSHIFT. That one is almost guaranteed to be a certified blast, but it will have to wait, as Wheatley has pounced on another project that sounds equally bizarre.
According to Screen Daily, Wheatley has turned his focus toward A FIELD IN ENGLAND, which is described as a "psychedelic" war movie set during the English Civil War in the 1600s. FIELD will tell the story of a group of deserters who, after being captured by two men, are forced to search for hidden treasure buried in a field. Soon it becomes clear that the treasure might be something other than gold, and the group descends into a chaos of fighting and paranoia, becoming victim to the terrifying energies trapped inside the field.
Shooting on the film is scheduled for September; Michael Smiley (who is aces in KILL LIST), Reece Shearsmith, Richard Glover, Ryan Pope, Peter Ferdinando and Julian Barratt are all signed to star.

Sept. 2 � To the Editor:
I recognize my letter must compete with local politics, but I have a timely subject of current interest. I want to go on record with two predictions: first, Brett Kavanaugh will be confirmed for the Supreme Court, and second, that NH�s Bobbsey Twins will vote against his confirmation.
In the aftermath of John McCain�s death, he was admired on both sides of the aisle. One of his central beliefs was the importance of bipartisanship, that this should override politics.
Will the two NH Senators heed his advice, or will they succumb to orders from Senator Schumer, the Minority Leader?
If Senators Sheehan and Hassan do as I predict, NH voters should have a clearly articulated argument telling us why Brett Kavanaugh is not qualified to be a Supreme Court Justice other than the shop-worn, manufactured issue of abortion. Voters will have an opportunity this week to listen to his hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Probing questions will be posed from members of both parties. How he answers will depend on his education, experience, and judicial temperament.

Understanding Murder and the War on Drugs in Mexico, 2006–2013
"I wish you had no narco-trafficking, but it's not really your fault. Basically, we did too good of a job of taking the transportation out of the air and water, and so we ran it over land. I apologize for that." - Bill Clinton
On September 26, 2014, 43 students in the state of Guerrero, Mexico disappeared, leaving no clues behind. They became the latest victims in a state in which criminals and politicians work together to kill common enemies. Even though Mexicans have become accustomed to indiscriminate killings, the evidence that this latest event was ordered by the local government generated outrage and massive protests.
The terrible events in September 2014 took place within an important historical context. In December 2006, President Felipe Calderón, with the encouragement of the United States, declared a war on drug cartels. Calderón had neither a clear strategy nor sufficient military intelligence and power to win this war. His actions led to retaliation by the cartels that resulted in a surge of homicides, kidnappings, and extortions in several states of the country.
From 2007 to 2011, violence in Mexico exploded, with the number of homicides rising from 8 to 24 per 100,000. And while the steep increase in violence was initially concentrated in certain states in Mexico, by 2013 it was widespread, likely reflecting the drug cartels' expanded operations.
The image presented here illustrates the dramatic spread of homicides in Mexico between 2006 and 2013. The graphic was created using data from Mexico's National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI).
As the video makes clear, states near the border with the U.S. experienced substantially more violence than states located in southern region of the country (with the exception of Guerrero). Likewise, those states with the largest number of cartels operating experienced the greatest homicide rates. During the 2006–2013 period, for example, Chihuahua had an average annual murder rate of 94 per 100,000, higher than the most violent country in the world (Honduras, with 90 homicides per 100,000 in 2012) and around 80% higher than the next most violent state, Guerrero. By comparison, Yucatan had a homicide rate of only 2.3 per 100,000, significantly lower than even Chile, the safest country in Latin America.
It is important to underline that this spread of violence in Mexico did not correspond with the state of local economies: the poorest states were not those with highest levels of violence; likewise, the wealthiest states were not the safest. Rather, homicides over this period were overwhelmingly driven by the presence of cartels and the proximity to the United States and its enormous drug market.
Less than three months after the disappearance of the 43 students in Guerrero, former President Bill Clinton, speaking in Mexico City, apologized to the people of Mexico for the role that U.S. demand and U.S. policy played in Mexican violence and drug trafficking.
"I wish you had no narco-trafficking," he said. "But it's not really your fault. Basically, we did too good of a job of taking the transportation out of the air and water, and so we ran it over land. I apologize for that."
The analysis conducted in researching this article supports the conclusion implied by the former President in this quote: the War on Drugs appears to have been a failure and to have contributed to the violence plaguing Mexico over the last decade.
Demand for illicit drugs in the United States creates lucrative markets for Mexican drug-trafficking organizations. Mexican cartels earn around US$2 billion each year from exporting marijuana alone to the U.S. along the southwest border.
Despite the seemingly meager results in drug consumption and smuggling, the Mexican government consistently increased the budget allocated to public security and the army between 2006 and 2012. By 2012, the government spent almost US$10 billion on homeland security, compared to about US$5 billion in 2006. And while the government launched consistent attacks upon the cartels, it had a poor strategy for freezing their assets, leading to an ongoing process of new confrontations and exacerbating the violence in the country.
At the same time as this spending was increasing, homicides were skyrocketing, particularly in those states along the U.S. border and with heavy presence of drug cartels, as shown below.
Taken together, the strategy followed by the Mexican government toward defeating the drug cartels, along with persistent and growing demand for drugs in the United States and Mexico, appears to have contributed to the steep increase in the number of homicides between 2007 and 2011, with no corresponding reductions in consumption or in smuggling. This conclusion is supported by state- and municipal-level analysis looking at violence in Chihuahua and Guerrero over the same time period. And while it is impossible to isolate the exact impact of the drug war on homicides and other violence in Mexico, this analysis contributes to a growing evidence base suggesting that the War on Drugs has been unsuccessful and has contributed to the astonishing rates of violence and murders in Mexico.

In Times of Crisis, Local and Regional Food Procurement Can Save Time, Money, and Livelihoods
The most recent Farm Bill, officially known as the Agricultural Act of 2014, was probably most widely associated with an $8.6 billion cut to SNAP, a 2.8 million acreage cut in land marked for conservation, and a long congressional stalemate. However, looking more closely, the Farm Bill also had a major win signed into law in its expansion of funding devoted to local and regional food procurement. Started as a pilot program in 2008, the USDA Local and Regional Procurement Pilot Program (LRP) provided post-crisis food aid in developing countries by purchasing and distributing food from local areas.
At only $80 million dollars, the LRP is a pittance in comparison to the $946 billion allotted in the bill. Nonetheless, local and regional food procurement as a disaster response has been remarkably successful thus far. A 2012 USDA report showed that the LRP program helps get food to victims of disaster-strewn countries an average of 74 days earlier and 36% cheaper than through in-kind food aid donations.
And as our country prepares for the inevitability of more natural disasters year after year—disasters like Hurricane Sandy, for example—we could take a lesson from the international community. It's time to for us to use a similar model of focusing on local and regional food procurement—through SNAP, new transportation policies, and community food projects, among other initiatives—to respond to disasters, so that people who fall victim to disasters like the 114,000 victims of Hurricane Sandy can have access to food quickly, cheaply, healthfully and efficiently. Here, I use Hurricane Sandy as an example to show four policy changes that should be made in disaster response.
Extend and expand the Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (DSNAP). DSNAP provides all eligible victims of disasters with a short-term allotment of food stamps at the maximum possible allotment for their household under the typical SNAP program. According to the Food Research and Action Center, every dollar of emergency money spent on food stamps sparks $1.73 in local economic activity, enriching a local economy struggling with the disaster. As seen in Figure 1, this $1.73 per dollar impact is larger than any comparable program in local stimulus per dollar. After Hurricane Sandy, we saw that thousands of families became food insecure due to the storm, and extending DSNAP is a cost-effective and efficient way to help communities recover over the long term while feeding families today.
Increase Food Stamp outreach initiatives. While DSNAP will help get families back on their feet, many families will still need longer-term support. Therefore, outreach initiatives must be put in place to educate and enroll families in regular SNAP benefits. A major disaster brings already vulnerable families to the brink, making it critical to provide outreach to allow informed family response. Furthermore, increased SNAP participation has been shown to mitigate emergency food provider (EFP) food shortages, a major issue facing EFPs in post-disaster areas.
Increase transportation access for individuals and families from disaster-affected areas to nearby food retailers. Food and water are points of greatest concern following a disaster. Following Hurricane Sandy, the areas of NYC most affected were already areas in greatest need of supermarket access, In planning for the next storm, it is even more important to increase transportation to nearby food retailers
Enable emergency food providers (EFPs) to purchase food locally for distribution. Improving EFPs' access to locally grown food boosts the local economy, supports local farmers, and increases access to fresh food for low-income communities. This emphasis on the local economy as a whole is a key. Facing significant damage from a natural disaster, an emphasis on local food responds on both the supply and demand sides, boosting local farming while taking advantage of quick and low transportation costs to efficiently meet demand. In order to meet increasing demand at EFPs, looking to our local food producers provides a comprehensive economic response.
Without a doubt, the people directly impacted by disasters like Hurricane Sandy are the most important among those affected by improved and increased access to food. However, many other stakeholders will benefit from improved post-disaster food policies as well. Local farmers will be able to secure a return for the crops that will be purchased for EFPs, while EFPs will be able to meet their increasing demands for food. With improved transportation, local food retailers will be able to increase their foot traffic, and increased SNAP participation will be a boon for NYC's local economy. This is of particular importance for businesses that have been dealt an unlucky blow in the wake of a disaster.
The champions of policies focused on local food procurement as a response to disaster relief have worked and experienced success on both a national and international level. A non-profit organization called Just Food, through its direct purchasing and Fresh Food For All program, has demonstrated that increasing the ability for EFPs to purchase food locally and promote SNAP participation has helped individuals and families access fresh food while providing additional markets for farmers. Through LRP, Oxfam America has seen that "LPR can save time and money, allowing crucial aid to reach more people in need of food assistance. It also invests in communities so they can feed themselves, instead of becoming dependent on food aid in the future." There is a tremendous opportunity for Oxfam and Just Food to share best practices and methodologies for local food procurement as a way to improve food access. While operating on two very different levels, the premise of both programs is the same: instead of relying on in-kind food donations and increased dependency through food aid, invest in rebuilding communities for the long term by increasing access to and purchasing of fresh, local food.
By allowing individuals and families to obtain SNAP, get to food retailers, and access fresh, local food through EFPs, we can ensure that those affected by future disasters will have a solid foundation to rely on as they work to feed their families and rebuild their lives. The policies outlined here are not major shifts, and they can be done using our existing systems. All they require is the funding and support necessary to make sure that all those affected by large natural disasters know about and are able to participate in these programs. They also require the political will to take proactive steps toward preparing for the next disaster. For Sandy victims in New York City, perhaps the policy window is closed. However, considering that there will inevitably be a "next time", the US must act and adopt these lessons so that when the next disaster strikes, we will be ready to respond.

For the approximately 300 high school students at the Stella K. Abraham High School for Girls (SKA), this High Holiday season was filled with experiences aimed at their understanding of how important good deeds, or Mitzvot, and acts of charity, or Tzedakah are in leading a good life. Looking out over what seemed like a sea of young women who filled the entire room, I suddenly became aware of how socially conscious a group this really is. I shouldn't have been surprised, though. The Five Towns community on Long Island has had a long history with Gift of Life – a very dedicated corps of volunteers who have rallied and motivated family, friends and neighbors and who have held very successful recruitment drives. Many of these girls are the daughters of these Gift of Life supporters and have volunteered at drives themselves this past year.
Rabbi Yosef Zakutinsky had initiated this event, and I must say that his warmth and good nature creates a positive and welcoming atmosphere that is emulated in the staff and students alike. He had seen first-hand the girls' involvement in getting people to register the day of the Israel Day Parade in New York and at the recruitment drives held within the Five Towns. Rabbi Zak announced to the assembly of students that Gift of Life would be the recipient of their efforts during their tzedakah drive this year. That meant a lot to me. I realized even more what a really special place SKA is as I stood before this group and told my story. Afterward, I knew that a connection had been forged between Gift of Life and the SKA community because the students asked really great questions about joining the registry and becoming a donor.
To get the girls further engaged, I told them about Gift of Life's "Pre-registration Program," and asked that they join. To date, twenty SKA students have pre-registered with us and made the commitment to join the registry when they turn eighteen! Teenagers between the ages of 13 – 17 years old can pre-register online by going to the https://www.giftoflife.org/gol_preregister/ and filling out an online form. We'll remind them that it's time to swab as they approach their eighteenth birthday and then they can make a conscious decision to officially join the registry and make a difference by being counted as a donor!
I am happy to report that the students of SKA had a really successful tzedakah drive! They have raised over $7,500 which is pretty awesome because it will benefit our recruitment efforts and test 139 of the kits that are currently on our waiting list. A donor circle will be established in SKA's name so that they can experience first-hand the progress that their contribution will make. Every time one of the donors assigned to their circle is called for confirmatory typing, or actually results in a transplant, they will receive an e-mail from us to let them know. Their act of kindness will make a difference in patients' lives for a long time to come.
Finally, a reminder that there is just one week left of voting in the Jewish Community Hero Award contest. Gift of Life deserves to win this award not only for the recognition, but for all the patients we can help with the $25,000 grant. Thank you to all of you who have supported me and Gift of Life by voting. Together, we can keep up the momentum by clicking this link http://bit.ly/voteforjay and continuing to vote daily until October 8th, and don't forget to pass along the link to family and friends to remind them to vote as well. Every vote counts and I appreciate every last vote of confidence that you have given me!

Goa with Len/Goa with Chris
I played two games of Goa recently, one as a three-player game over at Len and Crystal's place with Len and Steven, and the other over at Chris and Marcie's with Chris. Goa is one of those frustrating games that I love to play - it's an auction game, it's long enough I've never gotten in back-to-back games in an evening, it's distressingly-opaque for newbies, it's out of print (probably not to return in the same format), hard to acquire, expensive, and oh, yeah, the rules translations and interpretations are dubious.
There are four great mechanics Goa has going for it: the players' choice of tiles for auction, the once-around auction format where money either remains in circulation or removed, based on the outcome, the action-point concept where you want to do everything (but are limited to three actions a round), and the ability boards where every player 'levels up' separately, creating asymmetrical choice from the start.
The two games were dis-similar. In the 3-player game, I won the auction for the 4-ducats-every-round tile, in the first round, no less. This enabled me to bid wildly, and our game was massively inflationary. In the 2-player game, Chris and I were trading measly sums back and forth, with the flag typically being won with bids of 2-3. Len and I came within a couple of points of each other, and Chris blasted me out of the water with expedition cards.
Both were great, fun sessions (before that, at Len's, I had come in last at El Grande, another awesome, frustrating game).
The expedition card track feels useless at first, until you're halfway down the track and are drawing at least two cards, and also the cards are distressingly varying - it feels as though Greg Costikyan's rules of game design are being bent, if not completely broken.
I believe what I'm going to do next time is propose we follow one of the rule interpretations from one of the published versions, and limit players completely and totally to the expedition card limit on the track - if you draw up or acquire more in any way, you need to discard down to the limit immediately. This rule probably helps players who are behind more than players who are ahead, and prevents blowout victories of people who get their 5 card limit, then continue acquiring cards by advancing to the last two ranks. Depending on which rule translation you follow, you may have been playing that way already.

A "Puertorican Calzone" is when a naked man (usually after sex) tucks his testicles between his legs so they are exposed from behind. He then lays on his stomach and a girl proceeds to give him "cosquillita" (gently running her fingertips on his skin) all over his back, shoulders, ass and balls.

Wagering on the President's Cup, which is the poor cousin of the Ryder Cup,is an interesting venture for sports bettors. It is played every second year when the Ryder Cup isn't played, and features the top golfers from the United States against the top golfers from the rest of the world except for the golfers from Great Britain who play in the Ryder Cup. While it doesn't get nearly as much coverage or attention as the Ryder Cup the President's Cup is still a great tournament with a strong history. It also can provide outstanding betting opportunities for bettors who are positioned to spot them. Here are six questions for PGA handicappers to ask to help you prepare to dominate the event and fatten your bankroll:
What is the format? – Bettors need to get familiar with the format and the implications of it because it can differ significantly from a normal tournament and can reward some players and punish others. There are several different formats played during the weekend – best ball, alternate shot, match play, and so on. There is more strategy involved in these formats than in stroke play, and players have to adapt to playing one or two other golfers head to head instead of playing a whole field in a less personal way like they do most weeks. If you don't understand what the format of the games are then you can't properly handicap which teams have an edge and how the strategy could give a team a boost or handicap another.
Who is playing? – The lineup obviously has a big impact on how things turn out for the teams and on how you bet. The large majority of players earn their way onto the team by their play, while the last two selections are chosen by the captain as wild cards. Sometimes, though, a player that earns a spot because of their play could be ice cold recently but earned enough points earlier in the season to get where they are. You need to get a sense, then, of how the player is playing at the time of the event, and how he has prepared for the event. You also need to look closely at how well the player suits the format. Some great players have not been nearly as effective as part of a team, while some more marginal players turn into superheroes in the team format. History of play in the President's Cup or Ryder Cup, or in any of the major amateur tournaments that use a similar format, is a big factor in these tournaments.
Which players will the public overvalue? – There are some players that are going to get more attention and respect than they often deserve because of their reputations and past accomplishments. Tiger Woods, for example, will always be the focus of the tournament regardless of how he is playing or how the format suits him. When the public overvalues a player they are likely to bet more on them than they likely should. That means that the oddsmakers are likely to inflate the odds as a result, and value could be hard to find.
Which players will the public undervalue? – The public holds onto their opinions of older stars, and takes a while to recognize the strength and talent of younger golfers. If a player is playing on the team for the first time and hasn't yet won a major or another high profile tournament then the average public bettor isn't likely to give the player enough credit. Often times, though, these players are the ones who can sneak up on stars and make a big difference in this event – especially if the captain does a good job of picking their partners. These are the golfers that will often deliver real value for bettors.
Who are the captains? – Some captains are very well suited to the challenges of leading a team like this – they are strategic thinkers and natural leaders, so they can put their players in the right positions and then motivate them to succeed. Other captains make mistakes in picking their teams, and continue making mistakes throughout the tournament. No single factor can have a bigger impact on the outcome of the tournament than a mismatch in captains, so this is a very worthwhile place to spend some handicapping effort.
What kind of course is it? – The golf courses are often selected in an attempt to give the home team an advantage. A long American style course could favor the Americans, while a links style course could give the Europeans an edge. European players might also be more familiar with poor weather and how to play through it. The course is a massive factor that must be carefully considered by bettors.

Summary: This case was repurposed from a 2007 sourcebook case from Red Book.
Released: Filed Under: Expired
About "Isolationism"
This article was written by Season 12 author Karyn Louritt.
This case was repurposed from a 2007 sourcebook case from Red Book. The resolution in NCFCA then was Resolved: That the United States of America ought to more highly value isolationism. For that entire year, students needed to uphold a value that many today find somewhat indefensible.
The case uses isolationism as a value to be upheld, but weighs it with the criterion of National Sovereignty. Watch how the author leverages this argument to eventually affirm the resolution. In the end, the position is persuasive and turns your idea toward isolationism into a favorable perspective.

Matthew Groom, Minister for Environment and Parks
The 2017-18 Budget will see the Hodgman Liberal Government continue to invest in programs and works to protect Tasmania's world class natural and cultural heritage.
Our picturesque State has an international reputation surrounding our unique natural and cultural heritage.
These are assets that we must protect into the future and with the State Budget back on track, we can invest more into protecting our extraordinary natural and cultural environments.
We have committed a total of $3.2 million to support the preservation of the critically endangered Orange-bellied Parrot. Of this:
Funding has also been committed to protecting aboriginal sites in the TWWHA with:
The Tasmanian Government will continue to take action against climate change, with an additional $3 million commitment to deliver a number of new initiatives to respond to a changing climate and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Actions will focus on: climate change research, improving energy efficiency, reducing transport emissions and supporting business, local government and communities to take action.
This represents the single biggest investment in action on climate change by any Government since the establishment of the Tasmanian Climate Change Office.
We are also committing funding for land, coastal and river management. This includes:
And to strengthen the financial resources of the Environment Protection Authority (EPA), Tasmania's independent environmental regulator, the Government will be introducing an industry based environmental levy on marine farming companies.
The EPA plays an integral part in the regulation of Tasmania's natural environment and waterways, and this levy will ensure the EPA has the resources to monitor and protect our precious environment, while allowing the industry to operate in a safe and sustainable way.
Furthermore, $100,000 has been committed to consider an appropriate model framework for establishing a Container Deposit Scheme (CDS) in Tasmania.

George recently learned that when movie directors want to disown a horrible project, they would remove their name and instead use the pseudonym "Alan Smithee". Seeing a financial opportunity (and wishing to recoup the money Neal lost the two of them in a Fonzi Scheme), in 2065, George tried to convince Neal to change his name to Alan Smithee in order to obtain an ocean of royalty checks. Neal (now Alan) agreed. The plan worked, and Neal/Alan received a nice sum of money. However, they were not yet satisfied, and consequently to acquire more royalty checks, George changed his name to Julie Andrews, Julie changed her name to George Burns, and Clarissa changed her name to Neil Simon. (Believing this would become confusing, Neal told Clarissa, "Why don't I change my name to Neil Simon, and you can be Alan Smithee?" Clarissa replied, "That would be simply absurd.") Neal then suggested that he instead change his name to Clarissa Darling from the TV show Clarissa Explains It All, not realizing that fictional characters do not receive royalty checks. The plan worked, and they (once again) became rich beyond their wildest dreams (which is amazing, since their wildest dreams includes turning their entire bodies into platinum). However, it sure made get togethers confusing when George (Julie) wanted to talk to Neal (Clarissa), while George (Neal) and Neal (George) went off on one of their strange adventures.
In 2121 Neal was stranded in the middle of the Pacific Ocean on a desert island. However, Neal couldn't spell and thought he was on a dessert island. He spent the next year and a half eating nothing but sand, bark, and the occasional wandering crab, which he thought were cake crumbs, chocolate, and gummy crabs respectively. Somehow he survived, however this really did a number on his teeth, inspiring him to write the hit song "Teeth are for Wussies, so Give Edentulous a Chance". Ironically, George was also stranded in the middle of the ocean during the exact same time frame, but he was actually on a dessert island. He survived the 18 months on a diet of whipped cream, lollipops, and chocolate chip cookies. This inspired George to create the recipe for his tooth-whitening toothpaste. Also, ironically, George and Neal's islands were within swimming distance of each other, however Neal was too afraid of the salt in the ocean to swim over. (Well, according to George. According to Neal it was because George kept him away by brandishing licorice whips, but who are you gonna believe?) When George and Neal finally were rescued by some guy named Clem, they returned to the 1980's and put their latest creations to
good use.
Although it was in tropical latitudes, it's a good thing George had his winter gear. All that ice cream made the air pretty chilly. Yummy, but chilly.

The Grand Saga of George and Neal's Adventures through Time and Space (and Pudding)! is fully supported by... Well, nothing currently. We recently added ads (is that redundantly repetitive?) to our site in the hopes that we can earn a little bit of cash to pay to keep this site running. You see, all the piles and piles of money we make through our various business ventures, inventions, good fortune, and, ahem, other various schemes goes right back into funding for more research, travels, lawsuits, and general debauchery. So you see, there's nothing really left to keep this website going.
So, if you feel so inclined, you may graciously donate your organs, blood, or other bodily fluids to keep our website going. Or you could just send us a few bucks via PayPal, we're pretty easy like that (that's what she said). In return you'll gain the satisfaction of knowing that you are helping to educate millions and billions of individual cells (which really amounts to only a fraction of a person since it is estimated that the brain contains somewhere between 80-120 billion nerve cells (neurons), and neurons only make up about 50% of the cells in a human brain). Oh, and if you so request, we might include you in a future adventure (or maybe a past one).
Or, just click on one of the ads on our site. We'll get a few pennies, and there's no obligation for you, guaranteed or your money back!
Thanks for reading, and we hope you're not too traumatized after your visit.

Taapsee Pannu lately attended an event, wearing a concept drape saree by Urvashi Kaur.
She dressed in a black long sleeve organza blouse with a pair of beige broad legged palazzo and draped a contrasting fabric like a half saree. Styling her appearance with a pair of brown brogues, a pair of silver Ritika Sachdeva ear-rings. Taapsee's hair was pulled in a messy bun, and her look was rounded off with beautifully defined eyes and nude lips.
And it appears that the Pink actress is in love with the 'sari but no sari' look. Although the pant-style sari draping is not new, we love how her stylist Devika B matched it along with tan brownish leather boots and big Afghani Chandbalis by Ritika Sachdeva.
We love the concept of the saree and she wore it well. Taapsee Pannu look like an 'absolute boss' in this outfit!


text: Yesterday I slaved over frozen chicken and crock pot. I de-boned and shredded my chicken late in the night so as to prepare a hearty soup for the next day. Today I enlisted help to make said hearty soup. Justin donned his apron and chef's hat and got to mixing dough, cutting carrots, and rolling out noodles. The soup was bubbling and smelling delicious. I ladled out a portion to bring to another family and thought for a minute, Geez, I hope that's enough. It didn't seem to have a much volume as I had hoped. I delivered the meal and returned home to the yummy smell of my homemade chicken noodle soup.

A Letter for my Daddy
This week's PMC Weekly Fest is a tribute to our father or hubby…
|Make a Smilebox postcard
There are so many things that I want to say to you, but I don't have the courage to do it. Love and hate, two words to describe my feelings for you… I guess you know what I meant.
Hate? I do not hate you for what you are.. However, I hate those "unpleasant things" you did to us. I hate those years that you are not on our side. It was hard for us to see our own mom hurting. You let us down and betrayed our trust..
But I thank you, for those experiences make me stronger. It made me the person I am right now. Also, thank you for admitting your mistakes and coming back to our lives. I hope you keep in mind the promise you made; the promise you made with mom to stay married until "death do, us apart" is a serious promise. Please don't let us down again. Though we are still hurting, it feels different when you are back.. We are complete again.
Love? of course, I still love you. Let's forgive and forget the "unpleasant past". You taught me that everything does work out for the best, that love is possible and if God throws you a curve ball, that whatever is next to come is meant to come, everything happens for a reason.
I never told you enough that I love you but I think we both knew that we didn't need words to understand one another. That unspoken words were stronger than those spoken… I want you to know, though you had mistakes in the past, it does not makes you a lesser Dad. You are still a great Dad..
Happy Father's Day

Nice entry you have…
this could be my daughter's letter to his father soon enough.
hmm probably be a letter to my own father….well this is why i'm not writing anything about my father…hate is an understatement…
hmmm I guess I'm not along in this kind of situation…
