Strange Bedfellows
May 27, 2003
It has long been known that the Bharatiya Janata Party, like its parent Jana Sangh, has a special admiration for the state of Israel, which is rooted deep in its ideology. Over the last five years, it has elevated India-Israel political and military relations to heights never before contemplated. Even so, few people expected the BJP-led government to propose a unique "core" alliance to fight "international terrorism," including India, Israel and the United States. Even more astonishing is its move to invite Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon to visit India in the second week of June.
Consider the factual record. On May 8, National Security Adviser Brajesh Mishra addressed the 97th annual dinner meeting of the American Jewish Committee�in Washington in the presence of a large number of US Congressmen -- and Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar, who closely competes with Tony Blair in demonstrating a particularly servile form of loyalty to President George W Bush. Mishra spoke in "admiration" of the AJC and in "celebration" of the "the alliance of free societies involved in combating this scourge [of terrorism]. The US, India and Israel have all been prime targets of terrorism. They have to jointly face the same ugly face of modern-day terrorism."
Mishra advocated that "a core, consisting of democratic societies" must emerge, "which can take on international terrorism in a holistic and focused manner... to ensure that the global campaign against terrorism is pursued to its logical conclusion, and does not run out of steam because of other preoccupations. We owe this commitment to our future generations." The US-Israel-India "triad" or "axis" would form the core of this "democratic" alliance.
This triad would have "the political will and moral authority to take bold decisions... It would not get bogged down in definitional and casual arguments..." Mishra underscored the growing proximity between the three states: "We are all democracies, sharing a common vision of pluralism, tolerance and equal opportunity. Stronger India-US relations and India-Israel relations have a natural logic." This expands on Vajpayee's India-and-the-US-as-"natural-allies" theme.
Mishra sharply attacked what he called "diversionary arguments", especially the "motivatedly propagated" fallacy "that terrorism can only be eradicated by addressing its 'root causes'. This is nonsense." Instead, he advocated "preventive measures" involving "cooperation based on... shared values", such as "blocking financial supplies [to terrorists], disrupting [their] networks, sharing intelligence [and] simplifying extradition procedures." This articulates the Israeli government's well-known militarist approach to the question of Palestine, which disconnects "terrorism" from the illegal occupation of Palestinian territory.
Mishra's speech is remarkable for its adulation of the AJC, which is an out-and-out Zionist organisation. It comes on top of burgeoning contacts between New Delhi and Tel Aviv since they established full-scale relations in 1992. In 1999, Mishra visited Israel and met Prime Minister Ehud Barak. He was followed next year by Home Minister L K Advani and Foreign Minister Jaswant Singh. Israel and India have since developed close "cooperation" in intelligence-sharing and "counter-insurgency" operations. India has become a major, if not world's biggest, buyer of Israeli armaments. It has just received US clearance for acquiring Israel's Phalcon air-borne early warning and control system, and is now trying to buy the "Arrow" missile defence system in whose development S Y Coleman, a firm headed by Lt Gen Jay Garner (yes, of Iraq fame!) was critically involved.
Above all, the BJP is repaying its debt to the AJC -- America's single most powerful advocacy group, with connections in the Pentagon, the defence industry, Capitol Hill, the state department and the Bush cabinet. The AJC in recent years has helped pro-BJP non-resident Indians in the US to lobby Washington and build the India Caucus in Congress, with as many as 160 members -- "perhaps the largest single-country" group in the House of Representatives, as Mishra boasted. This link, more than any arms deals, explains the ardour with which the Vajpayee government has embraced Likud Party-ruled Israel.
In some respects, the "triad" or "axis" proposal marks a quantum jump. It is based on a peculiar perception of terrorism and of Palestinian independence as a "terrorist" cause. This perception is an Israeli hallmark. Without it, there can be no special basis for an "anti-terrorism" joint front or "axis" which includes Israel.
Indian public opinion strongly opposes this view, and Israel's policy of occupation and brutal repression. Indians are not anti-Semitic, but they have been consistently supportive of Palestinian statehood. For them, Yasser Arafat of the pre-Oslo period was something of a hero. The Palestinian struggle still remains heroic. The "triad" proposal's timing coincides with a major US offensive in West Asia. Globally, Israel today is more isolated than ever before. It's doubtful if any European Union member-state would invite Sharon to visit and endorse his hardline policies.
Sharon seems to be baulking at the "Road Map", first proposed by Bush last June, to settle the Palestine-Israel conflict. This document, since revised by the US state department, is remarkably partial to Israel and imposes tough obligations upon the Palestinian Authority�and people, including an "immediate and unconditional ceasefire to end armed activity and all acts of violence against Israelis anywhere." But it doesn't impose the same conditions on Israel. In the first phase, Israel only needs to dismantle settlement outposts built since March 2001.
Israel has just (reluctantly) "accepted" the "Road Map" under US pressure, but put its own interpretation on it, hedged it in with conditions, and explicitly rejected the right of Palestinian refugees to return -- essential to any fair settlement of the historic dispute. It has stipulated yet harsher obligations which the PA must fulfil -- before it takes even the first step.
The "Road Map" itself follows the collapse of the Oslo Accords brought about by Israeli intransigence and sustained Palestinian resistance -- despite the Arafat leadership's willingness to implement them. But like Oslo, the "Road Map" envisages "a final settlement" which will give nominal statehood to Palestine, but subordinate it politically, economically and militarily to Israel through a Bantustan-type solution. Israel would continue to control "security" (i.e. dominate all territory and entry and exit points), water, and movement of people. Palestine won't have its own army, nor even contiguous territory. Israel won't have to own up its culpability for the pillage of Palestinian property during the 1948 exodus, and for the post-1967 occupation.
This solution is patently unjust. It mocks at all notions of fairness and honourable peace. To force it through, the US must "discipline" Syria and Iran (now that Iraq has fallen), and divide and coerce the PA's leadership. It's already moving in that direction by threatening Syria and foisting Mahmoud Abbas (alias Abu Mazen) upon Arafat as his prime minister. Sharon has not only welcomed and met Abu Mazen, he has decided to spurn leaders who do any business with Arafat.
It's a safe bet that a majority of Indians will oppose a Sharon visit and the anti-terrorism "axis" proposal as immoral and unwise. Most political parties have condemned the proposal. The Congress described it as "strange and perverse" and as arising from the BJP's "obsession" with Israel: "It shows [the government's] intellectual insolvency..." The Congress has also stressed India's commitment to the Palestinian cause and recalled Non-Aligned Movement resolutions.
The Samajwadi Party says Mishra shouldn't have made "such blatant statements which go against the proclaimed policy of NAM." And the CPM and CPI have accused the government of having "completely sold... out to the US. It is overturning our foreign policy. It is very dangerous�"
The BJP, and more broadly, the Sangh Parivar, has an acute and long-standing Israel obsession. Establishing full relations with Israel was always a distinctive part of the Jana Sangh-BJP's agenda. Indeed, when RSS chief Balasaheb Deoras was asked in late 1991 -- after India's turn towards economic neoliberalism -- what's the one thing he wanted from the soft-on-the-BJP Narasimha Rao government, he unhesitatingly answered: full-scale relations with Israel.
There are three reasons for the BJP's fascination with Israel and Zionism. First, a desire to toady up to the US through its most important strategic ally outside Europe, and thus isolate Pakistan, which cannot possibly ally with Israel as an "Islamic" state. Second, the BJP shares Likud's Islamophobia and anti-Arabism. The third reason is hyper-nationalism. The BJP is fascinated by the highly militarised, tough-as-nails nature of Israeli society and by its state's willingness to use massive force against the Palestinians whom it treats as terrorists and sub-human vermin, pure and simple. This closely parallels what some people in the Parivar would like to do to India's own religious minorities.
The BJP's ideology admires people like Sharon for their machismo and ferocious jingoism. Many Hindutva hardliners see Hindus and Jews (plus Christians) as "strategic allies" against Islam and Confucianism. Nothing could be more grossly wrong than this "clash-of-civilisations" absurdity or an unethical alliance on India's part with Israel, one of the most retrograde forces in the world, opposed to freedom and national liberation. Sharon must not be invited to India. There must be no anti-terrorist "triad" which includes Israel.

[opensuse-buildservice] Move peless to public location?
- From: Paul Elliott <pelliott@xxxxxx>
- Date: Sun, 9 Sep 2007 11:29:56 -0500
- Message-id: <20070909162956.GA6009@xxxxxx>
My peless project ( home:pelliott11/peless ) seems to be going
fairly well. It builds for all rpm respository types except for
Mandriva2006, and sles 9. (too old).
I was able to write one ifdefed spec file that works for all these
I have tested the rpm for OPENSUSE 10.2, FEDORA 7, and Mandriva2007.
They seem to work. I do not have testing platforms for other types.
Could I get this project moved to a public location so that people
could download from the repositories? Perhaps under GNOME: because
peless uses gtkmm24 and gconfmm26?
peless is ready for translation, but currently supports 0 languages.
I wish I could get it translated.
I would also like to persuade people to put it into opensuse. How
do I do that? I already got it into debian.
(peless is a tabbed X11 file lister, similar to gless, kless,
and xless.) (gless, and kless (Not the Kingon) do not seem
to be in any distros anymore. What happened to them?)

In 1953, Dr. Ridley earned a doctorate of education degree from the University of Virginia, becoming the first black graduate of the University and the first black to receive an academic doctoral degree from a traditional southern white college or university. He graduated with high honors and his pioneering achievements in desegregating the University were noted in the national and international press at the time.
In 1987, during the biennial Black Alumni Weekend, John Merchant, a 1958 graduate and the first black to receive a jurist doctor degree from UVA., suggested that a fund be created in Dr. Ridley's honor. Since then, hundreds of alumni, parents, and friends have joined forces to make the scholarship a reality. To date, more than 300 young men and women have benefited from the scholarships.
1987: 220 alumni gather in Charlottesville for the first Black Alumni Weekend. Walter Ridley was honored as the first black graduate.
1987: The Walter N. Ridley Scholarship Fund is established.
1988: Alumnus Anthony Pilaro endows the Jerome Holland Scholarship fund for out of state black students.
Late 1990's: UVA's black undergraduate population reaches 10%
2007: In light of UVA's commitment to meeting the demonstrated financial need of students, Ridley shifts its focus from offering need based scholarships to offering merit based awards.
2008: Ridley increases the size of its flagship award to $10,000.
2009: The Jerome Holland Scholarship is renamed "The Holland-Blackburn Scholarship," in honor of late Admissions Dean Jack Blackburn.

The 109th annual American International Toy Fair kicks off next Monday in New York, so you can expect to see a lot of movie-related paraphernalia here. Right off the bat we've got some images of a "skill & strategy" game tie-in for The Avengers. It features four of our favorite heroes battling against a familiar enemy (hint: not Tom Hiddleston's Loki). To see just who that enemy is, you'll have to hit the jump. While it may not prove anything as far as Joss Whedon's The Avengers plot line is concerned, this merchandise coupled with last weekend's Super Bowl ad makes for a compelling case. The film stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlett Johansson, Mark Ruffalo and Jeremy Renner. The Avengers opens in IMAX 3D on May 4th. Hit the jump to check out the toys.
[POSSIBLE SPOILER] For the uninitiated, it looks like the little pink baddies are none other than the shape-shifting Skrulls. The alien race had a nasty habit of mimicking superheroes and causing all sorts of havoc. Could be a nice plot addition to an assembled team of heroes who are already a bit wary of each other. Then again, the presence of the Skrulls in these images could be as baseless as the absence of Nick Fury, Hawkeye and Black Widow from the box. Make of it what you will. Check out previous toy posts for The Avengers here and here.You can check out all the shots of the The Avengers board game below (via Idle Hands and MTV):
Here's the official synopsis for The Avengers:

Spanning the globe, a daring recruitment effort begins. Starring Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner and Samuel L. Jackson, and directed by Joss Whedon, "Marvel's The Avengers" is based on the ever-popular Marvel comic book series "The Avengers," first published in 1963 and a comics institution ever since.

By Hler Gudjonsson, IFRC
Thousands of Mongolian herder families are at risk of losing their livelihoods this winter due to a combination of summer drought and extreme winter conditions. More than 360,000 animals have already died in Mongolia this winter, and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) has launched an emergency appeal to support the Mongolian Red Cross Society in providing assistance to those who have been worst hit.
Many impoverished herder families are being forced to migrate to urban slums. "Herding animals is the only way to make a living on the grassland," said 22-year-old Naranchimeg, who moved with her family from Hovd province to Ulaan Baatar in 2013. "We used to have 300 cattle and 100 sheep, but lost them during the dzud in 2010. We finally managed to move to the city, but we are still struggling to even feed ourselves," she said.
Mongolian slums are commonly known as ger districts after the tent-like traditional Mongolian herder dwellings that are still used by many of the inhabitants. Naranchimeg and her family live together in one little ger, which has been erected on a steep hillside with a view of the sprawling slums. Here there are no public services or infrastructure such as sewage systems or roads. Like thousands of other newly arrived herders, they frequently need to move their ger from place to place as they do not own a plot of land where they can settle permanently.
"I wish I could return to the grasslands in Hovd province, but we don't have the money to buy new livestock," she said. "Here in Ulaan Baatar it is almost impossible for us to get any proper jobs because we have no skills except for herding animals, and that will not help us." Most of the day she stays at home alone with her sister's little baby while other family members are out looking for work.
"There are days when we have nothing to eat, even two or three days. That makes me feel really desperate, and on such days I can only think about how to find work so I can buy some food," she said.
But is not only the extreme poverty in the city that makes her long for the idyllic traditional herder lifestyle. "I really loved being with the animals, milking the goats and the cows and having the endless grassland and blue sky around me," she said, "But really what I miss most of all is the clean air."
Winter temperatures in Ulaan Baatar are between -30°C and -40°C, and destitute slum dwellers are forced to burn anything from old tires to plastics to keep warm. Out of thousands of small chimneys rise pillars of dark, poisonous smoke which has become the source of many health problems.
Her neighbour, Mrs. Dolgor Bolormaa, also misses the clean air in the grasslands. The 43-year-old grandmother from Hintii province lives together with nine of her children and grandchildren. "We lost all of our animals in the dzud in 2001, and for a long time after that we lived in Bayanzurkh district centre in our province, hoping we would be able to start herding again," she explained. "But it was impossible, and finally in 2013 when we had enough money to transport our ger we moved to Ulaan Baatar."
In the beginning, the family survived on food sent by relatives in Hintii province, and despite the many years of poverty they have had to endure, Mrs Bolormaa considers herself among the lucky ones. "Now my son has a job, so there is at least someone in the family who has an income."
"Few herders have any occupational skills that they can use in an urban context, and many of them are doomed to a life of extreme deprivation in very unhealthy living conditions," said Davaajargal Baasansuren, Head of the Mongolian Red Cross Society Disaster Management Programme. In order to provide new livelihood opportunities for herders displaced by this year's dzud, the Red Cross will provide vocational training and small business grants to suitable beneficiaries as a follow-up to its emergency relief.

Jana Lynn Outerbridge, Miss Bermuda 2011 will also have a presence at the event.
Today the Minister of Business Development and Tourism, the Hon. Wayne Furbert, JP, MP, said, "This event is a great way to bring a taste of Bermuda to our largest market and, in turn, encourage consumers to come to the island and experience it for themselves.
"By having this event in Grand Central Terminal, we will be in front of literally thousands of consumers throughout the day to entice them to visit."
WCBS-FM radio will broadcast the popular "Dan Taylor Morning Show" live from Vanderbilt Hall in the morning and host a special "Trip a Day" promotion where listeners can win a vacation for two to Bermuda.
Among the guests on the show in attendance will be a special appearance by Billy J. Kramer, one of the most popular rockers of the 1960s British Invasion.

Arctic Monkeys
Fillmore Miami Beach
Thursday, January 30, 2014
British post-punk foursome Arctic Monkeys completed its first performance of 2014 last night for a sold-out crowd at the Fillmore Miami Beach.
In support of the outfit's fifth studio album, AM, the current tour has been ping-ponging across the Atlantic since late spring 2013, going back and forth between venues in North America and Europe.
See also: Queens of the Stone Age on Rock Greatness: "It's Like a Magic Trick, Like Mind Control"
It can be challenging to put into words what an Arctic Monkeys performance is like. You're either feeling the vibe or you're not. There's no middle ground, but it's rare to find oneself on the latter end of that dichotomy.
Just about everyone who braced the rain last night was there because, somewhere along the way, they were charmed by the band's stylishly chronicled lyrics or, more so, by their galloping dance-punk instrumentals.
Regardless of one's perspective on the show, it can probably be agreed that Arctic Monkeys' talents and success have secured the outfit a place in the upper echelons of 2000s rock 'n' roll.
The quartet's style is pure poetic nihilism at its best. And while the group's been criticized in the past for its lack of live consistency when delivering that signature sound, the Monkeys' ability to mature and evolve while still hanging onto a core identity has allowed the band to continue to prosper.
Last night, silhouetted amid a thick fog at the Fillmore, the foursome began the night with "Do I Wanna Know," AM's opening track. And while the song's hollowed-out lyrics may tell the story of an unrequited love story, it was clear that the fans were knee deep in their love affair with the British gem before them.
Yes, Arctic Monkeys, those warm feelings actually go both ways.
As the night went on, the quartet's lyrical dexterity and tenacious instrumental attacks continued to fuel the crowd's verve. Each track gave life to screams and a surging riot of enthusiasm that would rise from the animated mass, pouring into the aisles as it pressed itself against the lip of stage.
The spectrum of colors on the stage always paralleled the given mood of each track, from the soft-rock blues of "505" and "Suck It and See" to the guitar odysseys of "Evil Twin" and "This House Is A Circus."
Other tracks that anchored the night were "Dancing Shoes," "Don't Sit Down 'Cause I've Moved Your Chair," "Snap Out of It," "Reckless Serenade," "Arabella," "Fluorescent Adolescence," "Knee Socks," and "Why'd You Call Me When Your High."
But perhaps the most striking detail of the night was lead singer Alex Turner's uncanny shadowing of Elvis Presley, both in his guise and charming stage presence.
Turner would occasionally comb his slicked black hair back in between songs, like a true greaser.
The most striking Elvis resemblance came just before the band's tribute track to the ladies of the crowd with "I Bet You Look Good on the Dance Floor," when Turner uttered the words, "Thank you, thank you very much."
For the encore, Arctic Monkeys gave an acoustic performance of "Cornerstone," as well as two hit singles off of AM, "One for the Road" and "R U Mine."
Then, as the band exited the stage, two of their most valiant fans made their way onto the stage to sneak a hug from Turner.

Dear Friends,
At various moments in the Old Testament, God gives us glimpses of who He is. Today, in the first reading from Exodus, God tells His chosen People: "I am a jealous God." But Scripture scholars say the word "jealous" is an inaccurate translation. The more accurate word, the telling word is "passionate." God burns with desire for the people He has created. What a remarkable, humbling thought!
The passionate God of all people and all times is most fully present in Jesus, as he is revealed in the Gospel. The disciples must have been horrified when they saw Jesus charging into the temple, tipping over the tables of the money-changers, driving out traders and scattering animals – a forceful and frightening scene. So unlike the Jesus they had come to know!
Just when we are comfortable ourselves, Jesus may well come crashing into our lives, challenging us to sweep out anything that hinders our relationship with God.
Jesus, the passionate God, doesn't want us to be laid back about what really matters in life.
But what really matters? He told us: The wholehearted love of God and one another…no exceptions.
In these troublesome national and international times, we are tempted to close ranks – to love and protect those close to us, those who belong to us. We erroneously label some people enemies, and treat them as such. Turbulent times will take their course, but we must make our own course.
In the first reading today, we are given the foundation – the very least we can be and do as we make our course through life. Our passionate God says: live out the commandments.
The commandments are not 10 suggestions, not 10 burdens. They are not the ideal or the best we can do in life. They are the very least we can do to be on course to love our God and our neighbor wholeheartedly. It's the work of a lifetime to try to hold people close and to treasure our beautiful world as God does.
A few years ago, I stood on a boardwalk over the sand dunes at Cape May, NJ, and watched a storm build up over the place where the Delaware River empties into the Atlantic Ocean. The thunder crashed, lightening sliced the sky and the winds flung voracious waves against the shore.
A little way off, to my left, on one of those high wooden chairs that lifeguards use, sat a man holding his small daughter. They were huddled under a blue slicker, their faces rapt as they experienced the storm. The little girl, secure in her father's arms, showed no fear, but only awe.
I hold that image in my heart these days, for it pictures nothing less than God, holding us close…all of us, refugees and immigrants, people trapped in the violence of Afghanistan and sub-Saharan Africa, Jews, Muslims and Christians alike. God, passionate about us, without exception. What will our response be?
~Sister Joan Sobala

Rosanne, Rosanne, Rosanne! You did it again! Opened mouth and insert foot. Its been numerous times now Rosanne that you have mis-spoke. This last time, I feel you have taken responsibility for inserting.
Looking back at all the tweeters including the biggest of all, Mr. Trump, there seems to be 3 R's missing. Restraint, Respect and Responsibility. Restraint can be difficult but its an absolute. Respect comes easy especially if you want it in return. Finally, taking responsibility and not just by saying I'm sorry. It means taking it and owning it and not allowing it to happen again.
Mr. Trump, the same goes for you….

Don Backe and Karl Guerra share more than a love for sailing: After their lives were transformed by tragedy, both men used the sport and the organization they now run to regain their sense of purpose.
Backe helped found Chesapeake Region Accessible Boating in 1991, four years after a horrific one-vehicle automobile accident in Crownsville left the former independent private school headmaster a paraplegic at age 51.
Guerra is now executive director for the Annapolis-based nonprofit organization that helps those with physical, mental and emotional handicaps — along with others who can't afford financially to sail — gain entrance to a sport Guerra thought he had lost when he suffered a massive stroke in 2000 at age 52.
But it could take the dream of a much younger man without any disabilities with the same love of being on the open waters to help keep CRAB afloat.
Faced with the possibility of seeing CRAB continue to lose funding and eventually fade into the proverbial sunset, as the national organization that served as its predecessor did in the late 1980s, Backe and Guerra have watched, sometimes in awe, as Matt Rutherford turned an around-the-world sail into a fundraising project that they hope will keep CRAB going.
Rutherford's 10-month journey, which officially ended when he sailed into the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay on Wednesday and will have a more ceremonious conclusion Saturday in Annapolis, has raised approximately $60,000 of a stated goal of $250,000. The money will be used to buy new handicap-accessible boats or refurbish the four vessels CRAB has used since its inception.
"I think it will continue to generate some interest [for donations] for the next year," Guerra said in an interview a few hours before Rutherford, aboard the 27-foot St. Brendan, became the first person sail nonstop solo around North and South America. "Beyond that, I think we need to start thinking about other projects that will help raise more money."
That Backe and Rutherford will be at the National Sailing Hall of Fame on Saturday to be a part of Rutherford's triumphant return is remarkable in itself.
An avid sailor since childhood, Backe was a strapping 6-foot-4, 220-pound man who because of his physical prowess and familiarity with boats "had a lot of rides" in helping race yachts and sailboats competitively as well as for pure enjoyment through his early 50s.
But that part of Backe's life ended 25 years ago while he was "driving home to feed my dogs" when he lost control of his car and crashed into a tree. He was left a T4 paraplegic, meaning that he had no feeling below the middle of his chest.
"After I got out of the hospital I figured my life was pretty grim," recalled Backe, who had just made the switch from being a headmaster to selling real estate.
A business associate introduced him to the National Ocean Access Project run by Christine Jurzykowski. It allowed those with physical disabilities to sail. After going out for a sail on the Chesapeake, Backe said he burst into tears.
"I must have cried for half an hour," Backe, now 76, said. "I realized that I could still do it [sail]. I was going to need help, but I was going to be able to sail. It restored a part of my life, just as CRAB helps those with other types of disabilities make their life more meaningful."
After NOAP ran out of money, Backe and two sailing friends, John Lancaster and Mike Garfinkle, raised enough money to begin purchasing the Freedom Independence 20s that are made to accommodate those with a variety of disabilities. CRAB was born.
Lancaster left a year later to become chairman of President Bill Clinton's Commission on Disabilities, and Garfinkle also departed, leaving Backe "the last man standing" for CRAB, which has grown to as many as 200 volunteers, including a hearty group of about 60 who Guerra said "will do anything to keep us going."
One of the recent volunteers was Rutherford.
A diehard Cleveland Browns fan from Ohio, the 31-year-old Rutherford has lived all over the country and came to Maryland in 2006 with hopes of starting his own non profit to help bring supplies to some of the impoverished countries he had visited in his travels, most of them involving sailing.
The idea came to him as he was on a two-year voyage to Europe, West Africa and the Carribean. When Rutherford returned to Annapolis in 2008, he quickly realized "that's it's easier to volunteer for an organization that start your own. It takes years to get the funds."
Through a friend, Rutherford was introduced to Backe and joined CRAB.
"I did whatever they needed, I even helped replace the toilets," Rutherford said.
Said Backe, "He's worked like a beaver and he's smart as a whip. He can do anything. We call him our Nautical McGyver."
One afternoon, Rutherford asked Backe if he might be able to use one of the CRAB boats on his next journey – this one starting in the middle of June last year.
"He was leaning against a boat and said, 'Wouldn't it be neat to take this through the Northwest Passage?'" Backe said. "One of our other members said that he would give Matt the boat he had bought from CRAB."
Said Rutherford, "I was half-joking, I didn't expect him to take me seriously, but he did."
With new rigging and new sails, Rutherford took off a few months later on St. Brendan, a boat named for the patron saint of travelers.
It has not only kept Backe and Guerra from thinking too much about their continued medical issues — Backe underwent back surgery and later spent three months in the hospital after complications set in, while Guerra, aside from having a stroke, suffers from rheumatoid arthritis and was diagnosed last year with a rare form of skin cancer — but it has energized their organization.
Guerra discovered CRAB after the stroke left him without the ability to speak for three years and needing to learn "how to read and even put thoughts together." Guerra said he spent six days a week, 10 hours a day, in rehabilitation. After losing his consulting business, and the family home, Guerra needed to work. CRAB seemed like the perfect situation when he signed on three years ago.
As impressed as the organization's leaders are with Rutherford, he is even more amazed by Backe and Guerra.
"They never complain, they never say, 'Woe is me,'" Rutherford said. "If I were in their situation I don't know if I would handle it as well as they do."
Knowing what it did for them, Backe and Guerra realize how important the access to sailing is for others with disabilities.
Backe has been there to witness autistic children calmed by the experience.
"I had one parent say to me, 'He's never been like that before,'" Backe recalled. "I said, 'He's never been sailing before.'"

Police will be out in force along the North Bluff Road/16 Avenue corridor, as well as along Fraser Highway, Wednesday morning (May 22), as part of a campaign to remind drivers that slowing down on the road allows more time to react.
Project SWOOP will involve RCMP officers from Surrey, White Rock and Langley, as well as Abbotsford Police, as ICBC and Speed Watch volunteers, according to a news release issued Tuesday morning.
"Speed is still the leading cause of car crash fatalities in B.C., killing 82 people on average every year," the release states.
"That's why police have been stepping up enforcement throughout May targeting speeders as part of a province-wide campaign."
Officers, auxiliaries and volunteers will be conducting high-risk driving education and enforcement activities.

Though cryptocurrency is an encrypted digital currency and it is distributed on the blockchain, the concern for a security breach cannot be ruled out here. Having said that, we mean, there are two critical components in the use of cryptocurrency that you must not overlook namely the security of your access credentials and the devices that you use to access the cryptocurrency wallet. In other words, security of your wallet is a shared responsibility involving you and your security service provider. However, companies like LegacyArmour have developed encrypted e-vaults that protect your currency wallet with a hundred percent infallibility.
Is cryptocurrency safe?
Yes, cryptocurrency is safe. It is a digital currency and it is distributed on multiple blockchains in the public and private domain. However, it is not a hundred percent safe instrument unless you too work in a safe environment. Therefore, to secure your digital currency, you must take a good care of the things that can potentially expose your wallet to the online threats.
What is cryptocurrency wallet?
Like you, there may be hundreds who would love to know an answer here. This is true in view of the fact that cryptography and cryptology are often used interchangeably without understanding the basic difference between the two. To begin here with the right mindset, you must know that cryptography is the act of writing in secret codes (ciphers). On the flip side, cryptology is the science of analyzing codes.
However, a cryptocurrency wallet is essentially a software program with multiple blockchain interfaces while sending or receiving the digital currency and maintaining its balance online. In short, this wallet is a must for you if you are transacting online with cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. At the same time, your wallet would invariably need additional security such as the encrypted e-vaults from the companies like LegacyArmour with a view to making it completely safe from its present vulnerability.
The USP (Unique Selling Proposition) of LegacyArmour vaults for cryptocurrency:
The USP of LegacyArmour vaults is manifold. You too will agree after using their vaults for the first time. Having said that, we mean, learning by experience will be a guiding factor here. However, the salient features that summarily would shape things for you are the following.
- Malware scan: Here, every upload passes through an integrated malware scan and thus, your security remains uncompromised.
- Multiple vaults: You have the flexibility of hiring more than one encrypted vaults bespoke to your need. As such, your security is protected further. For instance, you hire a separate vault for the medical records and other health-related documents. You allow a limited access to this vault only to a select few.
- Delivery trigger: You will preselect a delivery date and timing of your legacy on attaining certain age or the death as per your choice.
- Selection of recipients: You will preselect the recipients of your legacy such as the cryptocurrency thereby eliminate chances of its misuse.
In short, LegacyArmour vaults are always one step ahead of their time. Store your cryptocurrency into the LegacyArmour vaults and feel the difference.

All of these short stories are compiled in the ebook compilation SURVIVAL TACTICS, available as a free download in ePub, MOBI, and PDF formats.
Off-Series | Series
Factory Reset (June 2019)
This was actually my first idea for The Verge, but ultimately I decided it was too cynical to fit the brief, as the problem technology solves here is essentially humanity itself. Cynicism notwithstanding, there are cute animals, and one act of defiance that changes everything for them.
Straight-up SF again. CW for two f-bombs and some ghoulish humor.
Overlay (February 2019) (Note: Link redirects to another site)
This one was written for The Verge. The charter was to write about how technology makes better worlds, which wasn't easy for a cynic like me! But this was a topic close to my heart. If you like the short (or just prefer video), I also recommend the three minute animated adaptation. It's slightly different, but they absolutely captured the heart of the piece.
Straight-up SF. I may not even have cursed in this one. No CW, for once!
Single Point of Failure (December 2018)
Once again, I seem to have gone off-genre. While this has a SF backdrop (it's set on Mercury, and yes, actually, it's theoretically possible to set up colonies there), it's fundamentally a horror story.
As to what it's about? Aging, I think. Maybe also marriage.
CW for graphic violence, suicidal ideation, and swearing.
Thinking Inside The Box (August 2018)
I had a dream one night that I was writing a short story with a character named Bunny. When I sat down to write the next day, this is what came out.
This is a straight-up what-if SF story. It's also an ode to the importance of hope, especially when there's no realistic reason to have any.
CW for violence, sexual violence, and swearing.
About Time (May 2018)
This is a bit of fluff I wrote when contemplating the origins of the poltergeist in our garage. It's a wee little paranormal romance–not my usual genre, but it was a great deal of fun to write.
Friends Like These (2014)
I wrote this in one night, when I was sick to death of working on my novel. A friend of mine suggested writing something that had nothing whatsoever to do with the universe of my books. It came out almost exactly like this (yes, including the egregious overuse of semicolons).
It's not SF or fantasy. It could perhaps be spec fic, sort of. It's probably best classified as some sort of mystery, but it's not a whodunit.
And yes, now that you mention it, there is a big rock behind my house.
Govi (2015)
This was the original opening chapter for BREACH OF CONTAINMENT, part of about 40,000 words that got tossed in revisions. The scene is utterly unnecessary to the novel, but the incident it describes is referenced in Chapter 9, and I've always rather liked it.
You'll note the date–this part of BREACH was written early. Some of the dynamic between Elena and Bear is still in the novel, so some of this will be redundant for those of you who've read it. And like the published first chapter of BREACH, it has mild spoilers for anyone who hasn't read the earlier books.

Are you traveling in Europe right now and don´t know what to do during these cold, windy days? I spent the last weekend in Berlin, which is not only one of my favourite cities in Europe, but is also going to be my new home starting next year. I got lucky during this visit and found myself in the middle of the Festival of Lights: An annually event in October, during which the main landmarks and tourist attractions in the city get illuminated in great light shows designed by artists from all over the world.
Each day from 7pm until midnight for a period of two weeks some landmarks like the Brandenburg Gate, the television tower or the Berlin Cathedral will serve as canvases for beautiful light installations. A great opportunity for a special nightly walk with your partner and for seeing the main attractions of the German capital in a completely different light.
This year, visitors and locals can enjoy the festival from October 7-16, so you still have a week to see a different side of the city. With more than 70 different illuminated attractions displaying German history, contemporary art or even a short round trip around the world, you will definitely need more than one night to see everything and while Paris, Amsterdam or Ghent have the same event at other times of the year, Berlin takes the price as the biggest, best organized and nicest of them all.
On the official website you will be able to look up the locations and a short description of the illuminated attractions. However, if you can only make it to Berlin for one night and want to make the most of it, we created the right itinerary for you!
This two hour walk (perfectly suited for slow walkers) starts at the Berliner Stadthaus (Station: Klosterstr. or Jannowitzbrücke), not far from Alexanderplatz, and ends at Postdamer Platz (station: Postdamer Platz), a modern and futuristic square with nice restaurants and sophisticated bars perfect to finish the evening. Over just 5 km you will be able to see more than 10 different installations including the one at the Brandenburg Gate and the Berlin Cathedral! And make sure to always stop long enough to enjoy all of the displays in one place, as most of them change every few minutes!
A full itinerary can be following:
- Berliner Stadthaus (right)
- Nikolaikirsche
- view of the television tower
- Berlin Cathedral
- Humbolt University
- Hotel de Rome
- Brandenburg Gate
- Postdamer Platz (down left)
If you definitely don´t want to miss the festival and are short of time, this itinerary is just right for you and will definitely make your night warmer. If you can´t make it this year, check out some of our photographs from the festival and save some time to come here next year. It is definitely worth a visit!

Restaurant Review: Nagisa, Hyatt Regency Kinabalu, Malaysia @hyattregencykinabalu
"Hi Michelle, I will see you at the lobby by 8:30pm and we will have dinner at Nagisa. See you soon."
This was the message I received from Ervina Masduki, the Assistant Manager for Public Relations of Hyatt Regency Kinabalu, just before I left Dinawan Island. I was going to transfer to the hotel for my third night in Kota Kinabalu, and it happened to be on my birthday, May 4.
After bringing my stuff to my 10th floor sea view room, I joined Ervina for a hearty dinner in Nagisa, the sole Japanese restaurant in Kota Kinabalu that is located inside a five-star hotel. Although a bit exhausted from the island tour, I was excited to see what this award-winning restaurant has to offer. And I was not disappointed, with my expectations even exceeded.
The restaurant
Styled after a Japanese winter cottage, Nagisa Restaurant is neatly tucked across Tanjung Ria Kitchen inside Hyatt Regency Kinabalu. It has been awarded twice by the Malaysian Tatler as one of the best restaurants in Kota Kinabalu, thanks to its extensive menu of modern yet authentic Japanese cuisine.
In terms of design, Nagisa is a definite stand out, with dark wood panels and soft lighting complementing each other. As I was there in the evening, the restaurant looked more intimate. The spacious dining area is also maximized, with a sushi counter, two teppanyaki tables, a tatami room, and two private dining rooms perfect for meetings and special gatherings.
Nagisa is open daily, serving lunch from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and dinner from 6:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. A special dinner buffet, popular among locals and tourists, is available every third Saturday of the month.
For reservations, check their website, you may call +60 88 22 1234 or send an email to email@example.com.
The food
Prior to my arrival, Ervina has already arranged our dinner. We were only asked for our drinks, to which I chose lemon mint iced tea, a refreshing take to the usual drink. You can adjust the sweetness to your liking via the small pot of syrup provided.
The dishes were then served one after another, from appetizer to main course. You may view the menu here. Here's what we had:
We started our meal with tuna and edamame as appetizers. I didn't have much of the tuna, although it tasted really good and fresh. The edamame was steamed well, making the removal of the beans very easy. It was also salted just right, no dusting off of salt before putting it in your mouth and letting the beans slide out in one swift pull.
The simmered spinach was cooked to perfection, with the leaves and stems still crispy at every bite. The garlic bits gave this dish the perfect balance of flavors and texture. For those who are not into eating vegetables, this might help you change your mind.
The maki lover in me was so ecstatic when this plate landed on our table. This is Nagisa's signature dish, the Nagisa Maki. One serving is four huge slices of grilled eel (unagi), avocado, and egg rolled in sushi rice, the makings of a heavenly meal. Eating an entire piece in one go could be a bit hard due to its size, so biting it into two or three parts might be forgivable.
The mixed tempura was also a delight to the palate. The crispy breading was just of the right thickness, and complements the tenderness of the assorted seafood and vegetables perfectly. Each bite was pure tempura bliss.
Completing our main course is the mouthwatering Gindara Nabe, a hot pot dish with cod fish and vegetable broth. Each sip is a burst of various flavors in your mouth, with the occasional bite for a piece of that plump cod fish. A huge bowl is good for two persons, or one really hungry diner.
Just when I felt the weight of everything I consumed, out came the dessert – homemade green tea ice cream. When all the elements you love are combined in one frozen delight, you don't resist it. You welcome it with open arms, grab a teaspoon, and savor every bit of ice cream that melts in your mouth. I swear, I would have asked for another scoop if I wasn't so full.
Transportation Tip: If you're looking for the cheapest way to book the Trains, Buses, Ferries, Transfers on this route, we use 12Go.Asia to compare the prices!
The experience
Dining in Nagisa is something every visitor in Kota Kinabalu has to experience. Locals also have to try eating here at least once in their lives, as both the food and ambiance are a class of their own.
What even made my experience here truly unforgettable was their birthday surprise for me. Just a few hours prior, I was also surprised by the guides and my fellow guests in Dinawan Island with an improvised cake – chocolate-filled bread and a candle.
Getting two surprises and receiving two cakes (and eating them!) in one night does not happen to everyone, so this was an entirely unique experience for me.
Interested diners should not be intimidated of having to pass through the lobby of Hyatt Regency Kinabalu to get to Nagisa. All the staff are very friendly and accommodating, and will gladly lead you to Nagisa should you ask for directions.
Nagisa truly lives up to its reputation of being award winning, not mention being the only Japanese restaurant in Kota Kinabalu housed by a luxurious hotel in a strategic location. Whether planning an intimate dinner for two or organizing a family reunion, Nagisa is the best choice for your event.
Note: The dinner was sponsored by Nagisa and Hyatt Regency Kinabalu, but the opinions in this review are my own.

Tire disposal is a tricky environmental issue. Tires disposed of in a normal landfill can rise to the surface.

Mounting and removing a tire from a wheel require the use of proper equipment and knowledge. It is important to check the 'GG ring' markings when installing tires. A good fit will ensure the best outcome in the event of rapid deflation. Also, be advised that many tires are required to rotate in a set direction.
Wheel alignment is the position of
the wheels relative to your car.
Proper alignment points the wheels
in the right direction.
Without proper alignment, wheels
resist steering commands, as well as
each other. Alignment also affects
gas mileage and tire wear.
If your tires are pointed in different directions, they can cause treadwear.
Wheel balancing refers to the proper distribution of weight around a revolving tire and wheel assembly. Poor wheel balance can have a significant impact on both your vehicle and your safety.

Beetroot and oatmeal roti and jerked chicken wraps
By Chef Shantanu Gupte, FOODFOOD
For Roti
- 1 ½ cups whole-wheat flour
- ½ cup oatmeal
- Water (Using yoghurt or milk will give you super soft chapatis)
- Salt to taste
- 2 tbs vegetable/ canola/ sunflower cooking oil
- 2 tbs beet juice
The recipe is enough for roughly 12 chapattis
For the jerk marinade
- 1 big bunch spring onions, roughly chopped
- thumb-sized piece ginger, roughly chopped
- 3 garlic cloves
- ½ a small onion
- 3 chilies, deseeded if you want less heat
- 1 tbsp thyme leaves
- Juice of 1 lime
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp ground allspice
1. To make the jerk marinade, combine all the ingredients in a food processor along with 1 tsp salt and blend to a purée. If you're having trouble getting it to blend, just keep turning off the blender, stirring the mixture, and trying again. Eventually it will start to blend up. Don't be tempted to add water, as you want a thick paste.
2. Taste the jerk mixture for seasoning – it should taste pretty salty, but not unpleasantly, puckering salty. You can now throw in more chilies if it's not spicy enough. If it tastes too salty and sour, try adding in a bit more brown sugar until the mixture tastes well balanced.
3. Make a few slashes in the chicken thighs and pour the marinade over the meat, rubbing it into all the crevices. Cover and leave to marinate overnight in the fridge.
4. If you want to barbecue your chicken, get the coals burning 1 hour before you're ready to cook. Authentic jerked meats are not exactly grilled as we think of grilling, but sort of smoke-grilled. To get a more authentic jerk experience, add some wood chips to your barbecue, and cook your chicken over slow, indirect heat for 30minutes. To cook in the oven, heat to 180C.
5. Put the chicken pieces in a roasting tin with the lime halves and cook for 45 minutes, until tender and cooked through.
6. While the chicken is cooking, prepare the roti by forming dough out of the roti ingredients.
7. Stuff the chicken filling in the roti, along with your favourite salad greens and roll to form a wrap.

Dakota: Chemically burned on his rear and back leg
Caitlin's Vine Of Bravery Dog Rescue rescued Dakota on September 23rd after being returned back to the shelter he was adopted from. His "owners" returned him with chemical burns all on his rear end and back leg. We have no idea what happened but this poor boy is in a lot of pain. I don't even want to imagine the pain and torture he has probably endured.
Caitlin's Vine Of Bravery Dog Rescue took him to the vet and they said it is definitely a type of burn from a hot liquid or chemical.
His scrotum is filled with fluid and is starting to abscess. He will have surgery on that once we have his infection under control. The rescue started him on anti-inflammatory medicines, pain medicines, antibiotics and a sedative. They sedated him and cleaned up the areas.
He received his first laser treatment and will be getting them every other week to help with inflammation and scarring. At this time, the rescue is unsure of the cost of his surgery that he needs. Each laser treatment is around $20-30 and this will add up quickly.
Hendrick & Co. has created this campaign to help raise the funds needed to save Dakota. With every tee, hoodie, bracelet or tote, you can help save Dakota today.

This month we take a look at one company that is helping provide all of that – and much, much more. (more…)
