Environmental issues and green construction have a few points of intersection in the insurance marketplace. When it comes to risk exposure, green construction techniques—new types of building materials, natural roof coverings, or even indoor water features—have raised concerns about how those components might impact mold, air quality, and other potential environmental issues.
When it comes to coverage for green construction, several environmental insurers have made options and endorsements available to cover the cost of LEED-certified upgrades connected to cleanup and restoration.
"Four to five years ago, all anyone wanted to talk about was green. We used to get calls all the time about how to price green endorsements based on the cost to retrofit commercial properties. But in the past year and a half it's been eerily quiet," says Steve Brewer, senior vice president of underwriting solutions at MSB, which provides pricing data for green building as part of its property-valuation solution.
The reason carriers have quit calling with questions is not because there is less interest in sustainable building. "New buildings are being built to greener standards. We are seeing an increase in renovation to green," says Norrine Brydon, vice president of data asset and research at Marshall & Smith/Boeckh (MSB), a provider of building-cost data to the property insurance, appraisal, tax assessment, real estate and lending sectors. "There are more federal, state, and local mandates that have taken effect, such as CALGreen [the California Green Building Standards Code of 2011]."
Rather, carriers have become more comfortable with offering and pricing for the coverage. "When regulations started coming into effect, carriers had a fear of the unknown," says Brydon. "As insurers got their heads around the changes and as green building materials and construction techniques have become more common, they became a lot less concerned about it."
"Carriers are definitely using green endorsements as a competitive factor. They're getting smart about what 'green' means—what [construction] items are heavy financial impacts and what ones aren't," adds Brewer. "A few years ago, it was a hot fad that everyone wanted to learn about. Now, it's just part of how construction upgrades are done."

San Jose Earthquakes 1, Sporting KC 0 | MLS Match Recap
SANTA CLARA, Calif. – The San Jose Earthquakes' home dominance is keeping them in the MLS postseason conversation.
With a 1-0 victory against Eastern Conference leaders Sporting Kansas City on Sunday night, the Quakes ran their winning streak at Buck Shaw Stadium to five straight matches, feeding their faint playoff hopes through Chris Wondolowski's eighth goal of the season.
San Jose improved to 9-10-6 overall and are 8-1-4 at home. The five-game streak is the Quakes' longest string of home victories since August 2005.
The Quakes moved into a tie for seventh place in the Western Conference with FC Dallas on 33 points, although San Jose are still eighth in terms of points per match at 1.32.
Sporting Kansas City (11-8-6), who were playing without injured stars Graham Zusi and Kei Kamara, retained a share of the Eastern Conference top spot, but lost their game in hand on co-leader New York.
Wondolowski and the Quakes – who were shut out in two matches against MLS opponents last week – finally broke through in the 55th minute when Steven Beitashour delivered a first-time volley cross off a deflected ball on the right wing. Wondolowski knifed in behind Sporting's backline to reach the looping pass first and headed home to the near post past helpless goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen.
It was a third goal in as many league matches for Wondolowski, who has scored in five consecutive games against Sporting Kansas City.
Quakes 'keeper Jon Busch also had a night to remember, making three saves to earn his 100th MLS win on his 37th birthday.
San Jose had the best chance of the first half when Clarence Goodson rose to meet Marvin Chavez's 33rd-minute free kick deep inside Kansas City's box. But Nielsen prevented the US international's first goal as a Quake with a diving, right-handed stop.
The visitors' appeals for a penalty kick were denied in the 65th minute. After Matt Besler's free kick from the right wing was flicked on by Aurelin Collin, Kansas City's Soony Saad collided with Beitashour at the back post, but no call was forthcoming.
For Sporting Kansas City, the loss extended their winless streak at San Jose to 16 matches. They are 0-11-5 against the Quakes in California since last winning on Aug. 16, 2000.

You know those foam pool noodles that you see in every store you step into? Well, you can make lots of fun things from just those foam noodles. They only cost a few dollars most places but to really save money, buy them at the Dollar Store. You can create some really simple, fun toys for summer play.
We made all these fun summertime toys a few weeks ago and the foam bow and arrow is, by far, getting the most play time ... in fact, a lot of play time.

Wallisch's resume is already stacked, he has appeared in numerous Level 1 Productions movies and has solid slopestyle competition results including victories at Dew Tour Northstar and the Dumont Cup. Tom was recognized as the #1 Ranked Slopestyle skier for 2008-09 season by the Association of Freeskiing Professionals. "Tom is the skier we wanted to be SCOTT's first North American ski athlete. I can't wait to watch him rip our skis onto the podium," adds Kevin Kruse, SCOTT's wintersport team manager.
"I couldn't be more excited to be joining a company like SCOTT and to be riding their skis and rocking their eyewear and poles. I am really stoked to take my skiing to the next level with their help," states Wallisch.
Look for Wallisch this winter on the worldwide competition circuit including the X Games, Dew Tour, and tomorrow night at the London Freeze.

Pets, Pets, Pets
Spaying and neutering pets prior to adoption is the only way to ensure that these animals won't add to the staggering pet overpopulation problem. Bonds, vouchers, and certificates are not a sure thing. All municipal shelters in Nassau and Suffolk, with the exception of Babylon Town Shelter, now perform mandatory altering before the animals go to new homes. Even NYC shelters have made great strides via the Mayor's Alliance and Maddie's Fund. Hopefully, Babylon will become proactive ASAP. Despite many years of preaching, I blame myself, in part, for not being able to convince my Town Hall how crucial mandatory spay/neuter is to block future animal suffering and expense to taxpayers.
Some somber statistics: .... an unspayed cat, her mate, and their offspring, producing 2 litters a year, can total 11.6 million cats in 9 years... one unspayed dog and her pups can produce 67 thousand dogs in 6 years ( Spay USA)...7 dogs and cats are born everyday for each person born in the US. Only1 in 5 of theses stay in their original home for their lifetime (HSUS)...The cost of having a pregnant female can be higher than the cost of spaying... In a '97 survey of 1038 US shelters, over 56% of the dogs and 71% of the cats surrendered were euthanized...It cost shelters approximately $100 to capture, house, feed, and eventually kill each homeless animal. (Doris Day Animal League)
Reputable non-profit groups always require animals to be castrated before placement. Municipals rarely offered this "bonus' in the past. Hempstead Shelter was the latest to send adopted animals to a vet to be altered. That leaves Babylon as the only LI municipal shelter still using the $35 NYS neuter bond which does little to encourage compliance.
The other LI pounds accomplish mandatory spay/ neuter for adopted animals in a variety of ways. Some transport the animals to the cooperating vet (hired by contract or, in rare cases, pro bono), and the new owners either pick up their pet at the hospital or the shelter; some have vets perform the operations at clinics adjoining the shelter. Certain Towns allow early castrations on puppies and kittens, at least 8 weeks or 2 pounds; while others collect the neuter fee in full and require the infant pet to come back when 6 months old for the traditional spay/neuter. Fees vary by Town, but include rabies shots for animals over 3 months and NYS licenses for dogs
Some shelter specifics: Brookhaven has always been fortunate to have an animal hospital next door. The Town has a contract with a vet there. Residents can also bring their pets for low cost spay/neuter. Oyster Bay also uses a bid. The shelter delivers all adopted animals to the designated hospital. Surgeries are performed there; already castrated animals are verified; and owners pick up their new dog or cat at that vet. Southold sends their dogs/cats to one of 2 cooperating clinics, and even puts registered microchips in the pets. Huntington has a combined municipal/non-profit effort, also a separate dog and cat shelter, with the League for Animal Protection volunteers working out of the 2 Town shelters. No adopted pet leaves without being altered first.
Thanks to the perseverance of director Matt Caracciolo, Islip Shelter now has a spay clinic in a trailer next to the shelter. The Town and VCA Animal Hospitals work as a team. The Town bought the trailer, pays utilities, and hired a vet tech and kennel aide. VCA owns the medical equipment and provides a veterinarian for spay/neuter twice a week. They share the cost of supplies. As a follow up, VCA offers a free first exam at any of their 8 hospitals on LI. A similar plan could work beautifully at Babylon Shelter too, plus it would also solve their time consuming problem of having ACOs transport every animal- even owner redemptions- to a hospital for rabies shot. A vet, a vet tech- a wish come true.
Oct. '01 NYS passed a law giving municipal shelters 2 choices: either neuter the adopted animal before it leaves, or charge a state $35 bond to be refunded when the owner shows proof of surgery. Unclaimed money went into a fund that financed state low cost certificates. Participating vets would perform spay/neuters for about $30. These certificates are a well-guarded secret. The vets are few and far between. I've seen one used in 5 years. As of 10/ 15/06 new, unclear rules state that now the owner has to apply to Albany for a voucher and supply proof of financial need, like food stamps. How many are going to take the time to do that?
I also blame the State for coming up with a perfunctory option that doesn't curb overpopulation. It's paperwork heavy with little benefit. Responsible owners will neuter whether there is a bond (which isn't deducted from the surgery cost) or not. You have only 2 months to comply. I've asked vets for extension notes for rescued dogs with heartworm. Many folks will hear a neutering price of $100+, especially on a big dog, and opt to forfeit the $35. In our "throw-away" society, some will return Mama and her pups/kittens to the pound. If shelters neuter for you, one price fits all- Yorkie to St. Bernard. When the law first passed, I called the State Attorney to see if owners would still have to pay the bond on strays that appeared neutered but didn't have vet proof. He said they hadn't thought of that, and he'd get back to me. I'm still waiting.
Uninformed critics- including those who never set foot in a pound- often make comments, disparaging Town shelters, labeling them good or bad. You can't compare the animal problems of a huge Town to a small one, or impoverished areas to those of the affluent. I'm quick to defend Babylon Shelter which serves residents of all incomes. For 24 years I've watched a small staff, without a vet or vet tech, try to help countless, neglected animals. As a former educator in a hard-working, lower socioeconomic district, I resent these shelter rankings, as I do the berating of students' test scores in poor communities. Animal control is similar in that neighborhoods and tax bases feeding into the shelters determine the number and condition of animals arriving, and the money available for programs.
In May '05 Babylon Town Hall announced that Assemblyman Sweeney obtained a $35,000 state grant for spay/neuter of feral cats and improvements at the shelter. I may be mistaken, but I don't think the money has arrived yet. It's time that Babylon become as progressive as the rest of LI and NYC , and devise a plan for mandatory spay/neuter of all adopted shelter animals before release. Let's get started now. I may be mistaken again, but I think that Babylon Town Hall is open to suggestions and help from other Town shelters, humane groups, and me- that disappointed, defensive preacher.
The dogs and cats at Babylon Town Shelter (643-9270) Lamar St. W. Babylon want to go to a forever home in time to Trick or Treat. "Peanut" in C-4 is a 3 year old spayed, declawed tabby who put up with the clown hat although it was beneath her feline dignity, whereas
Rapunzel" was an eager princess. She loved the purple wig. This friendly Pit mix in Cage 51 appears to have had it tough- head scars, worn teeth, and the tell tale belly of several litters. Note: The shelter does offer certificates redeemable for $50 spay/neuters at North Shore Animal League. Surgeries used to be free. There's no way of knowing how many are actually used- driving to Port Washington and waiting lists have been given as excuses not to neuter.
Males: "Cappuccino"- the amiable Akita in Cage 43. He let 2 of us rake out his mats at the same time; a Cocker Spaniel in Cage 67; "Denzel"- a neut. kitten in C- 2.
Females: "Angel"- a sweet Chow/Lab in Cage 49; a Lab/Pit mix found abandoned by N. Babylon Library in Cage 91; "Betty Boop"- last week's adorable calico in C- 7.
Job Opportunity: Babylon Shelter is looking for a seasonal full time kennel attendant-$7.50 an hour. Ask for Ed Buturla. Sure would love to see someone with animal handling experience or an interest in a future veterinary career apply. Poster Pets of the week
could use masks to protect search and rescue dogs.
You can help pets and owners breathe easier by donating pet masks to fire departments and ambulance squads. This is a wonderful community service project for scouts and schools; a touching memorial to a person or pet; a unique holiday gift in honor of a friend (who has everything).Gifts to the rescue unit of your choice via HELP are tax deductible, and can be anonymous or acknowledged with certificates.

This week "Betty Boop" is appearing at Babylon Town Shelter (643-9270) Lamar St. W. Babylon. This adorable 2 1/2 month calico/tortie kitten in C-7 spent the afternoon modeling. Meanwhile, "Columbus", a mature, severely matted Cockerpoo in the Puppy Room was found as a stray in Amityville. This sweet senior has red hair like his namesake and looks as if he's been out at sea too long. See more photos on the shelter's Petfinder website.
Spay/Neutered Cats: longhair "Tinker Bella" in C-8; "Peanut"- a declawed tabby in C-4; "Denzel"- a 3 month kitten in C-2; and a gray tabby in the "Lady & the Tramp" reception room.

DIRT! :: Film Trailer
The Earth's most overlooked natural resource is right beneath our feet.
Inspired by William Bryant Logan's book Dirt: The Ecstatic Skin of Earth, DIRT! The Movie tells the story of what's right under our feet—the living organic matter on which life depends.
From its role in agriculture and clean water to its potential for shelter and ability to regulate climate, dirt is an important natural resource. It's also one of the most ignored and abused.
DIRT! The Movie, directed and produced by Bill Benenson and Gene Rosow and narrated by Jamie Lee Curtis, tells the story of the consequences of abusing the earth's soil and offers an alternative vision of the mutually beneficial relationship humans can develop with dirt.

From the genius mind of Alex Blagg comes a spoof of the Ryan Gosling flick Drive. Enter Drive-Thru, the story of a man who makes drive-thru deliveries for people, no questions asked. "You give me a time and a place. I give you a five-minute window. Anything you want, I'll order it and get it to you in five minutes. But I dont go inside the restaurant, I don't carry out. I just drive-thru." Nothing like a fried-food-filled parody of Ryan Gosling's words to make a girl drool!
Remember, folks: Sonic is not a drive-thru, it's a drive-in. There's a difference.

Well after the Chicago game it would appear our QB is no longer anonomous. Just based on all the threads about Wilson this week, the interviews, the commentators all over and radio it would appear that everyone wants to NOW be in on what could be the next BIG thing in the league. Experts are reversing opinions and saying how great he looks now versus the can he make it in the league statments and he's to short to play and at best he will be a career back up. People that were saying he could have been had in a later round and that there was better talent on the draft board have went silent.
It's funny to watch the media go into the frenzy to posture to be on the positive end of the spectrum after saying we were busting on our draft yet again. This years focus being Wilson, but also throwing in Wagner and Sherman from previous draft as well and Chancelor.
You can bet that in the playoffs we will have a piss load of attention on how we were built and I'm waiting to see the experts line up to start saying how our players were all ranked high in their books now after the fact.

Squad Welcomes New Transfer Issiar Dia to SamandıraNews • Author: Mehmet Pozam • Friday, July 23, 2010
Following a one-day break after returning back from their pre-season training camp in Belgium and Germany, the Yellow Canaries picked up where they left from and began preparing for their upcoming UEFA Champions League qualifiers against Young Boys with a practice session on Friday evening. The squad also welcomed new transfer Issiar Dia, as he set foot on Samandıra for the first time.
The Yellow Canaries reassembled after a one-day break and resumed their pre-season preparations with a training session at Samandıra's Can Bartu Training Grounds on Friday evening. There was a newcomer at Samandıra, as Senegalese winger/striker Issiar Dia reported for his first practice at the training grounds.
At the start of the practice session, Fenerbahçe coach Aykut Kocaman welcomed new transfer Issiar Dia, along with Özer Hurmacı and Gökhan Gönül who have now completed their post-surgery recoveries. Both players had been unable to take part in the team's ten-day training camp in Belgium and Germany, which ended on Wednesday.
"If we need to sum up the Belgium camp in one sentence, we can say that 'It began like hell, but ended like heaven'. The only difference between the two was taking things 'seriously'," said Aykut Kocaman describing his squad's performance during the pre-season training camp. Speaking on Fener's upcoming UEFA Champions League third qualifying round tie against Swiss side Young Boys, Kocaman stated his confidence that his team will have the ability to eliminate their opponent.
"The UEFA Champions League is a very important for both the club and for you all individually; we will all be there together," said the Fenerbahçe manager. Thanking his players for their great team work during their 'ten-man' performance against archrivals Galatasaray, Aykut Kocaman asked his players to keep the same level of ambition and desire ahead of the Young Boys fixtures. "Starting from tomorrow, we will start getting concentrated on the match," he added.
Yellow Canaries manager Aykut Kocaman then led his team for approximately an hour and forty minutes, along with assistant coaches Fahrudin Ömeroviç and İsmail Kartal, trainer Turgay Altay, team conditioner Alper Aşçı, goalkeepers' coach Murat Öztürk and match data analyst Arda Keskin.
Work on Friday evening began with light jogging and coordination drills. Afterwards, the Yellow Canaries continued with passing drills, before completing the training session with a practice match. Prior to the scrimmage, Fenerbahçe's shot stoppers also practiced seperately under the supervision of goalkeepers' coach Murat Öztürk.
While Gökhan Gönül and new transfer Issiar Dia conducted today's regular practice session with the rest of the squad, Özer Hurmacı also practiced with the team but did not take part in the scrimmage. Instead he joined Uğur Boral practicing seperately under personal trainer Dolu Arslan's supervision. Bekir İrtegün, in the meantime, continued his preparations with an individual programme. Injured players Mehmet Topuz and Dani Güiza continued their injury treatments inside the facilities.

The Grief That Keeps on Giving: Thoughts on HIV, Loss, and an Opportunity to Heal
August 25, 2014
I first heard the news that Malaysian Airlines flight 17 had been shot out of the sky at a stopover in Sydney, en route to the International AIDS Conference in Melbourne. I stared at the television in disbelief as the initial (and incorrect) coverage reported that as many as 100 conference delegates had been onboard. I felt numb even as the number of attendees on board dropped over the next few days to fifty and then, finally, to six, among them one of the world's leading HIV researchers from the Netherlands and an official of the World Health Organization.
At the conference opening a few days later, the atmosphere was heavy with a stunned sadness all too familiar for the thousands in attendance. There was grief and anger over the unfolding tragedy as investigators were stymied in their efforts to reach the debris, which had fallen into a no-mans-land. For these conference attendees, many of whom had lived with the HIV virus or had devoted their lives to eradicate it, the sudden and pointless violence of MH17 activated old and disturbingly-familiar feelings of countless losses.
I sat at the initial press briefing as the President of the International AIDS Society, a somber Françoise Barré-Sinoussi, described the loss of her friend and colleague, Joep Lange. Other members of that first panel, visibly shaken and despite shock and grief, tried to shift the conference, two years in the making, back into focus. Some delegates cancelled their trip altogether while others in the vast exhibition hall carried on, trying to balance and unwieldy mix of strong personal emotions, respect for the unfolding loss, and the urgency of an ongoing epidemic.
Of course, many asked how yet another tragedy, especially one so pointless, could befall this collective group of people working so diligently to eradicate a terrible virus. Beyond such existential questions lies an opportunity to understand how the reaction of thousands to such an outrageous incident becomes amplified to such palpable levels. How can such a tragedy activate old wells of loss, sadness, and grief which quickly grow to nearly unbearable levels and which sometime seem out of proportion to the stimulus?
The answer lies in trauma and the ongoing and deeply-felt experiences of loss. For those of us who survived the '80s and early '90s, it was trauma characterized by the multiple losses of friends, sometimes so relentless that several days couldn't pass without a funeral. It was the slow-motion deterioration as drug options ran out, or new infections arose or returned. It remains the ongoing trauma of stigma and violence and the deep, burning shame that so often still accompanies a life with HIV. Early in the Melbourne conference this accumulated global experience of grief connected the hearts of the attendees.
Such losses, unless processed, remain disturbingly close even though they may be just out of consciousness. These feelings survive in body memories and emotions, or lie dormant under a layer of numbness. Trauma overwhelms our ability to process an experience and, in order to manage this flood of feelings and for protection, drives us into psychological shock. Our bodies and minds attempt self-preservation by lurching into a fight-or-flight response or disconnecting from emotions. As a result, we may not experience the full intensity of feelings (or any feeling at all) from a loss or trauma, but the resulting emotions are neither gone nor by any means resolved. They lie dormant, unprocessed, waiting to be activated.
When something occurs that echoes a strong, personal feeling, the accumulated emotions and body experiences begin to flood back into consciousness. This can be minor, such as a sentimental television advertisement that triggers a good cry, or it can be the senseless loss of an airliner shot out of the sky. At such times the confusing cycle of shock, be it fight-or-flight or disconnect, repeats itself as people attempt to cope with these feelings.
While it is, of course, healthy to experience a wide range of emotions, we are not doomed to drastic swings of feelings and numbing shut-downs as past, painful life experiences are triggered. The solution lies in working toward resolution of the old traumas, understanding how they impacted our beliefs about ourselves as well as the resulting decisions we made about coping behaviors. For example, after experiencing countless losses in the early days of the HIV epidemic, I began to protect myself by disconnecting from painful feelings. Like many of my friends, I also began to pull back from forming friendships and vital supportive relationships out of fear of what seemed like inevitable loss.
For me, healing came through the identification and expression of those feelings and by rooting out the core beliefs that were harmful or at least unproductive. I gradually learned that I would not be overwhelmed by sadness and grief if I allowed myself to access the deep well of emotions. I began to trust in the process, to trust that other people would be there for me, and most of all, to trust myself that I had the capacity to not only heal these traumatic losses but to grow and find meaning in them.
By midweek in Melbourne a candlelight vigil was planned, honoring both the living and those that had died. The accumulated emotion of more than three decades was palpable in the crowd. As I expressed to Mark King in his video about the vigil that day, I feel that the accumulated feelings triggered by losses such as MH17, or even the collective energy that is palpable at AIDS conferences, can be transmuted into a resolute, healing force. Releasing long-held sadness and grief can liberate tremendous amounts of energy and this can renew a sense of purpose and even power. Connecting in a meaningful way to others with whom we have shared experiences can be powerful and healing. It reminds us that we are not alone on this road, that our genuine feelings can honor those we have lost, and most of all, that we can transform our grief into energy that will move us forward with purpose.

Best Kids Parties: Princess
Name: Kanaya, 8
Location: Tangerang, Indonesia
For my daughter Kanaya's eighth birthday, I threw her a princess themed party!
The girls decorated crown headbands. I made them using glittered crown shaped thick paper that attached to colorful headband using felt. I bought some mobile phone stickers so the girls can stick the embellishment without glue mess. I put some make up (just a little eye shadow, blush & lip gloss) on each girl at the "beauty bar." Each also got a princess tattoo. The girls loved to be pampered that way...
The table was quite small. It has tiers of choco chip cupcakes with purple, blue & pink buttercream. I love the cookie shapes (dresses, shoes, crowns & magic wands) & the embossed texture on them. I put "please fill me" label on Chinese take away boxes. The girls loved filling these with anything on the table.
We had goodie bags for the girls to choose & fill with any dress up items on the table. There are magic wand pencils, sily bandz & tattoos & hair bows. I put some prizes for the games on the tray too. There are couple of little mirrors, polka dot hairbows & beaded bracelets made by Kanaya.
We didn't have a "real" photo booth, but I decided to turn Kanaya's bedroom wall into one. Her bedroom has purple & turquoise color wall with a tree and bird decal that I made.
The look at the girls' faces were priceless. What I want the most is that Kanaya had a good time with her friends on her birthday. And she did...
Thanks, Tia!

"It can't be a coincidence that 'Accidental Racist' came out the same day Code Switch launched," @Melanism tweeted at us on Monday.
And it did seem a little convenient. No sooner do we unveil our little race and ethnicity blog than Brad Paisley and LL Cool J release a hip-hop and country collaboration, asking whether black folks and white folks can come together and overlook each other's differences. We won't spend too much time on the song's racial politics, but you should probably know that LL Cool J's verse begins, "Dear Mr. White Man."
The Internet, as it is wont to do, went bananas.
Sometimes a piece of pop culture comes along that so captures the popular imagination that you're compelled to mull it over. And Paisley told USA Today that he intended the song to spark discussion. So in that spirit, here's a dialogue about "Accidental Racist" between Code Switch lead blogger Gene Demby and team leader Matt Thompson:
MT: Among my particular corner of the Internet, the predominant reaction to "Accidental Racist" seemed to be either impish delight — "I can't believe the Pop Culture Goddesses have given us such a masterwork of camp to heap our snark upon!" — or Southern politeness — "Um, they meant well." (Fellow Code Switch blogger Kat Chow distilled some of the main reactions for us in another post.)
Most folks, though, seemed to agree that it was at least a well-intentioned, if cringeworthy, gesture. Which we see a lot of in conversations about race, right? How does one respond to such a gesture?
GD: @Melanism was right, there's something suspicious about Code Switch launching the same day that the Internet discovered this tiny nugget of glory. It's kind of a softball over the plate. Can you think of another instance in which the Lost Cause made a bid for commercial radio play?
Luis Clemens, our editor, was pretty adamant that this was some kind of elaborate joke. "This is all an elaborate and knowing gag meant to provoke a real conversation about race unlike the pseudo-discussion in the song," he said. "Think of it as a Derridean act of derring-do."
But nope — Paisley and LL insist that it's the real thing. So if it's a well-intentioned mess, aren't their intentions a little dubious?
MT: There's probably a mix of intentions, at work, right? I mean, Mr. Paisley and Mr. Cool James had to know that there was going to be a reaction. A lot of reaction. You don't tread into 'Solve Racism' Land lightly. Paisley's tweet yesterday indicated as much.
So you can take it at face value, and many folks did: this is a serious effort to bridge cultures, to extend a hand and try to embrace someone else's humanity.
Of course, this is a commercial work as well as an insta-meme, so I know the question arose for some folks of whether the primary motive was publicity, which has certainly been achieved twice over, I think.
But all indications from his tweets and post-Monday appearances suggest that Paisley is for real.
GD: Regarding the "serious effort" bit, though: can music explicitly about building those bridges ever be effective at doing that? Every example that I can think of — Michael Jackson's "Black or White," Paul McCartney's "Ebony and Ivory" — is so cloying and earnest that they're hard to take seriously. How come we just can't kick it side-by-side like these piano keys?
I'll say this: this song is different from those in that it's at least trying to grapple with our nation's racial history, even if that history gets flattened into a bunch of false equivalencies. ("If you don't judge my gold chains/I'll forget the iron chains"? Yikes.) Those other songs were basically like: bump all that history noise, let's all of us go for some pizza!
This does not redeem the song, of course. But there's at least in "Accidental Racist" something to grapple with, to push back against or argue for. Granted, that's a pretty low bar.
MT: Whatever, "Black or White" was a work of genius.
Like "Ebony and Ivory," though, "Accidental Racist" does have the feature (or bug, depending on how you look at these things) of getting stuck in your head incredibly easily.
This issue of being an "accidental racist" is fodder for its fair share of discussions at places like Reddit (which is, as we know, the very best place on the internet to talk about race). Here's a thread on the worst incidents of accidental racism people have experienced or heard about, and here's another. Is there some value to having the perspective voiced, at least?
As Luis suggested, by releasing something earnest and kitschy enough to allow folks to laugh at it, are Paisley and LL giving us a slightly less tense on-ramp to talk about Things That Should Be Discussed?
GD: But it isn't less tense! Don't let those plaintive guitar strings get you all twisted up, Matt. LL is basically playing The Black Friend, buying into all of Paisley's premises, and absolving him of any kind of responsibility for rocking the Confederate flag, which is obviously an incredibly polarizing symbol. Paisley's all I wish people would stop tripping, I'm just trynna do me and represent. And LL's all Word, my friend! At the end of the day, aren't we all just trying to represent? Paisley was quoted in USA Today as saying, "It's real interesting to hear LL say, let's let bygones be bygones and the past is the past."
That's the most simplistic approach they could have taken to this subject matter.
MT: I agree that LL's role in this is pretty interesting. Could Paisley have done a track like this without having a black-person imprimatur?
GD: So look. LL is a hip-hop pioneer, and he's had one of the genre's longest, relevant careers.
But his prolonged moment in the sun has been dotted with just as many what-the-hell-is-LL-talking-about moments as it has been with signature lyrical moments. Remember, this is the same cat who once rapped that making love "is like pink cookies in a plastic bag being crushed by a building." He once told us that the brim of his baseball cap was like a shark's fin. (Uh, wrong direction, Cool James.)
And then there's the entirety of his infamous verse on the classic "Flava In Ya Ear (Remix)." Here's a sample:
Hee-shee, uh blowticious
Skeevee, delicious
Gimme couscous love me good
Um damn, Hollis to Hollywood, but is he good?
I guess like the jeans - uh!
Flavor like praline, sick daddy nah'mean?
What even...?
LL's career has been important and he's still somewhat well-regarded. But he is so not above this kind of thing. This is definitely one of his periodic excursions into WTF-ness.
MT: Fair point. If you're an LL fan, you might either be mystified, delighted or unsurprised by this, given his discography.
I wonder how this song is playing among Paisley's fans? Our colleague Karen suspected he wasn't getting a lot of love from them on this one, but Kat definitely found plenty of folks standing by their man and standing down the haters on Twitter.
GD: I've seen an argument that goes: "If you" — "you" being black folks — " wear your X, I'll wear mine." The X they're referring to is from the Malcolm X paraphernalia that was everywhere in 1992, so apparently the people saying this haven't been outside since the Clinton administration. (That's also what's so funny about LL's "do-rag" line. Folks are still wearing those as fashion in 2013?)
Being a hip-hop fan kind of inures you to all kinds of Five Percent Nation jargon and iconography that's always floating around in the ether, even as a lot of it is confounding if not just outright noisome to folks. I wonder if the Confederate flag feels similar to Paisley, if he realizes how divisive a symbol it still is.
MT: We never really answered my original question — we have all probably been victims or perpetrators of possibly-clumsy-but-well-intentioned overtures, both related to our race or ethnicity and not. (Hair often factors into these, especially for black folks.) What's the best way to respond? I guess it depends on the context, of course, but is there any way to spin these gestures forward into a net positive for the world?
GD: A lot of people will probably say that this song has gotten people talking, and so that's an unalloyed good. But the kind of conversation it kicks off is what really matters. From what I've seen, most of the response has been composed of snark and eyerolls.
MT: My favorite possible outcome from this situation will be if "Accidental Racist" succeeds "Baby Got Back" as our ironic racial karaoke party jam for the ages. It's kind of a ballad, so it might bring down the room, but I am dying to try it. The very next time I go to a karaoke bar, I'm heading straight to the letter P in the "Songs By Artist" book, tipping the DJ, and getting my White-Man-From-The-Southland on.
GD: This song is begging for that treatment. It's physically impossible to recite LL's lyrics — "RIP Robert E. Lee but I've gotta thank Abraham Lincoln for freeing me, know what I mean" — with a straight face. And think of all the Django moments at the karaoke bar.
MT: If you start reciting lyrics to the song, this post will never end, Gene. I think Rembert Browne at Grantland took care of the lyrical exegesis.
GD: As LL says, "It's real, it's real. It's truth."
You can find Gene Demby on Twitter at @GeeDee215. Matt Thompson tweets at @mthomps.
And one of the songs Will mentioned has generated a lot of debate, and a heap of scorn - the song "Accidental Racist." Here's the chorus.
BRAD PAISLEY: (Singing) I'm just a white man coming to you from the Southland, trying to understand what it's like not to be. I'm proud of where I'm from...
CORNISH: As we heard earlier, the song also features rapper LL Cool J. Now, to find out why "Accidental Racist" has struck a nerve, we turn to Gene Demby. He's our lead blogger for NPR's new team covering race, ethnicity and culture. Welcome, Gene.
GENE DEMBY, BYLINE: Hi, Audie. Thanks for having me.
CORNISH: So tell us a little bit more about this song. What's the plot of it? What's the story it's trying to tell, and how did people react to it?
DEMBY: So in the song, Brad Paisley is walking into a Starbucks, and he's wearing a Confederate flag T-shirt, and he is reacting to people reacting to him wearing the Confederate flag T-shirt. He says that he's wearing the shirt not because he has any kind of racist inclinations but because he's a Skynyrd fan, and the song is...
CORNISH: A Lynyrd Skynyrd fan, yeah.
DEMBY: A Lynyrd Skynyrd fan, yeah. And he's kind of asking for people to be more understanding of this symbol, this iconography.
CORNISH: And how does LL play into that?
DEMBY: LL Cool J basically says, hey, it's cool. It's cool. That's OK. Hey, we can all get along. I'll make space for your Confederate flag T-shirt if you make space for my hip-hop attire.
CORNISH: So how did people react to this?
DEMBY: The overwhelming response on Twitter, where "Accidental Racist" was a hashtag that was kind of blowing up all day, was snark and eye-rolling. It was just - it was received as very earnest, very well-intentioned but a very earnest song.
CORNISH: But is this just the case of the Internet being the Internet, or are there real historical or other issues with the song?
DEMBY: Well, the comedian Patton Oswalt tweeted jokingly: Can't wait for Brad Paisley and LL Cool J's next single "Whoopsy Daisy, Holocaust, My Bad." A lot of people felt as if it was kind of sheering off kind of the rough edges of our history.
CORNISH: And today, Brad Paisley was on the TV show "Ellen," and she asked him to try and explain what he was trying to say with this.
PAISLEY: I don't know. It's kind of - we're sort of asking the question of - as a proud Southerner, and he is a - as a black New Yorker, it's sort of like, let's - one of my favorite lines of the song is, he says, "I think the relationship between the Mason-Dixon needs some fixin'."
ELLEN DEGENERES: Mm-hmm.
PAISLEY: Leave it to a rapper to put it so simply...
DEGENERES: Yeah.
PAISLEY: ...and so beautifully.
DEMBY: We were wondering, on our team, why Paisley chose LL Cool J and not a Southern rapper. Atlanta is the epicenter of the hip-hop universe. It's been that way for a few years now. And we were wondering whether a Southern rapper might have a different take on the Confederate flag. One of the lines that LL Cool J says in the song - that got the most attention, actually - he says," if you don't judge my gold chains, then I'll forget the iron chains."
CORNISH: Kind of comparing the two as symbols...
DEMBY: Right.
CORNISH: ...and it sounds like people think those symbols aren't weighted equally.
DEMBY: Right, exactly. The criticism has been, there's kind of a false equivalence.
CORNISH: Now, why do you think this has been such a lightning rod? I mean, is it because it's two polarizing genres of music that people have strong opinions about? Is it the song itself? Is there any way to do a good, interracial message song? I mean, was this doomed from the start?
DEMBY: You know, there isn't a very long track record of well-done, interracial message songs, right? You have "Black or White" by Michael Jackson, which is kind of cheesy. You have "Ebony and Ivory," which is like, notoriously cheesy. I wonder if there's a way to even tackle this subject kind of head-on directly in popular music, in a way that wouldn't cue a bunch of eye-rolling.
I think it's also kind of the content of the song, a bit. I mean, the song almost doesn't work if LL Cool J is not there. I mean, Brad Paisley basically needs a black friend in the song - for the song to work. It doesn't work if he's just him singing the song by himself. It becomes a completely different song, as a matter fact.
CORNISH: Gene Demby is our lead blogger for NPR's new team covering race, ethnicity and culture. Thank you so much for stopping by.
DEMBY: Thanks, Audie. Thanks for having me.
PAUL MCCARTNEY, STEVIE WONDER: (Singing) Ebony and Ivory live together in perfect harmony...

Hot dogs from the sky! Oscar Mayer debuts WienerDrone
Hot dogs from the sky! Oscar Mayer debuts WienerDrone
You could soon be seeing a flying hot dog dispenser at an event near you.
Oscar Mayer announced on Monday the debut of the WienerDrone, a quadcopter capable of traveling up to 1,200 feet in the air and one mile from its operator.
The company describes the vehicle, which looks like a tiny version of the iconic Wienermobile, as "the first unmanned hot dog-carrying aircraft designed for remote location delivery."
The drone will deliver one hot dog -- ONE! -- by dropping it from the aircraft's belly.
The WienerDrone and another new vehicle, the WeinerCycle, will make their debut at an Independence Day event in Weiner, Arkansas.

Ernest Wallace, alleged associate of former New England Patriot Aaron Hernandez, surrenders in Miramar, Fla.
Ernest Wallace, the third suspect in the murder of Odin L. Lloyd, walked into the police station in the southern Florida community of Miramar today where he peacefully surrendered to police.
"He announced that he had a warrant and had seen himself on television and wanted to turn himself in,'' said Officer Gil Bueno, a Miramar police spokesman.
Wallace, who is represented by Boston defense attorney David Meier, invoked his right to an attorney and has not spoken to investigators, Bueno said.
Lloyd was shot and killed June 17 in North Attleborough, a killing prosecutors have alleged was orchestrated by former New England Patriot Aaron Hernandez.
Meier confirmed his client surrendered to police. He said Wallace, whom authorities described as armed and dangerous, was in Miramar visiting relatives when he realized he was wanted by Massachusetts authorities.
"He had been visiting his mother and other family members in the family home in Florida,'' Meier said in a telephone interview today.
Meier, the former chief homicide prosecutor for Suffolk County, said that Wallace has agreed to return to Massachusetts to face the single count of accessory after the fact of murder he currently faces. "
He intends to waive any rendition proceeding and to return to Massachusetts as soon as possible,'' Meier said. He declined further comment.
The arrest of Wallace means that all three men implicated in the murder of Lloyd, a 27-year-old Dorchester man who was acquainted with Hernandez because they were dating sisters, are now in the hands of Massachusetts law enforcement.
Hernandez is currently being held without bail at the Bristol County Jail after pleading not guilty this week to charges that he orchestrated the execution-style murder of Lloyd on June 17 in a North Attleborough industrial park.
In addition to Hernandez and Wallace, authorities have said in court papers that Carlos Ortiz, 27, of Bristol, Conn., is seen on surveillance video entering Hernandez's North Attleborough home around 3:30 a.m. on June 17 armed with a handgun.
Ortiz appeared today in Attleboro District Court where he was ordered held without bail after pleading not guilty to a single charge of unlawful carrying of a firearm on June 17.
Neither Wallace nor Ortiz have been charged with murdering Lloyd.
Also today, authorities confirmed that they recovered a silver Chrylser 300 with Rhode Island plates that Wallace was last seen driving. The car was recovered in Bristol, Conn., the hometown of Hernandez and Ortiz and where Wallace also had connections.
Earlier this morning, Boston police became the third police agency since June 17 to search Hernandez's sprawling home on Ronald C. Meyer Drive. State Police and North Attleborough police searched his home at least twice before Hernandez was arrested on Wednesday for allegedly killing Lloyd.
A law enforcement official briefed on the investigation said Boston police were looking for evidence that could connect Hernandez to the killings of Daniel Abreu and Safiro Furtado, friends who grew up in Cape Verde, who were slain in a fusillade of bullets on July 16, 2012, in the South End as they drove home from a Boston nightclub.
This afternoon, Boston Police Commissioner Edward Davis said that the search for those responsible for the murders Abreu and Furtado is continuing.
"It is hard to say exactly when charges will come down on that case,'' Davis said. "It is very important for us to compile all the information that we have and not act prematurely. And so we will be as careful with the investigation as we are with all of our homicide investigations.''
Abreu, who was driving a BMW sedan, stopped at a light on Shawmut Avenue at Herald Street when a silver or gray sport utility vehicle with Rhode Island plates pulled alongside. Someone from the SUV opened fire, killing Abreu, 29, and Furtado, 28. Another passenger was wounded. Two others fled the car unharmed.
The killings were a mystery until the murder of Lloyd, according to two law enforcement sources briefed on the Boston murders. Hernandez, according to Bristol prosecutors, hatched a plan to kill Lloyd after he was seen talking with some people he had "troubles with,'' at a Boston nightclub on June 14, and later summoned two allies with a text saying "you can't trust anyone.''
Suffolk District Attorney Daniel F. Conley declined to comment on specifics of the investigation, but he said that the case, once cold, has become more "robust'' recently.
Furtado was a tour guide in Cape Verde, his family said. He arrived in Dorchester five months before he was killed. Abreu grew up in Cape Verde, where he worked as a police officer. He arrived in Dorchester around 2008.
Police also searched a Franklin condominium this week as part of the Lloyd investigation and recovered .45 caliber bullets similar to the ones used to kill Lloyd, authorities said.
(Globe Correspondent Javier Panzar contributed to this report.)

Now We're Cookin' With Gas! (& why I haven't been blogging)
Since I last blogged we've had quite an upheaval in our little kitchen. Our oven/range had been in a state of slow decline for many months. It was completely unpredictable... sometimes you could bake, and other times just trying to get the oven to preheat could lead to endless "error" beeps. Sometimes it would just randomly start beeping in the middle of the night. The only way to stop the beeping was to turn the oven off (if it was even on to start with) and open the door of the oven. Over months, I learned my way around the finicky device... attempting to use the oven and the stove top at the same time was a good way to break the whole thing down. Ditto for attempting to change the oven temperature once warm, attempting to bake back-to-back items (extended baking time), or even just using the digital timer in conjuction with the oven. Phew! We had someone come out and "repair" it, which was quite pricey and did absolutely nothing. So...
At long last! We took this opportunity to Do The Deed! We've got a gas oven!!! We've got a new fridge !!! ( I didn't even go into our fridge issues). The whole kitchen was totally torn apart... for about 2 weeks. The thing is, we had an electric stove before, and the gas stove needed ONE MORE INCH of width! For that one precious inch, we had to get our counter tops cut into & our cabinetry finessed... which led to an emptying of said cabinets all over the counter tops... which led to the fine granite dust of cutting into the granite covering every surface of the ENTIRE kitchen. Which led to a day-long total overhaul, cleaning every surface, every object, every cupboard. It was crazy.
So, here is our kitchen all torn up with the new appliances going in. Check out those countertops! It extended all the way onto our dining room table:
Can you see our friend Loren behind the oven? He's our super duper handy man & also a cool guy! Here he's hooking up the gas connection for our new oven.
Here's the contents of our new fridge. It's a lot bigger than our old fridge - we actually had to take the molding off the door frame in our kitchen in order to squeeze this baby in. We got the kind with the fridge on top and the freezer on the bottom. That was a good choice for us, because Musty has a bad back, and wasn't ever able to lean over and get in the old fridge. So I am glad that he will be able to put away his own leftovers from now on without having to ask me! I love how clean and sparkly our new fridge is. I'm not too proud to admit that I removed, cleaned out, and recycled at least 15 (maybe 20?) containers of old, expired condiments - hot sauce, wildwood aioli, flax oil, liquid vitamin, pickle relish, french's mustard, weird things from the freezer... Oh, it was an adventure all right - even stinky and icky at times!
And here are our two beauties together. Oh yeah!
After many days of substandard meals and take out meals, I inaugurated the "new" kitchen with some genuine home cooking. First I made a recipe from my giant "Try This Recipe Someday" collection - an old recipe from Sunset called "Carrot Soup with Roasted Tomatillo Relish." Mmmy!
For the tomatillos, I used these cool PURPLE tomatillos that I found at the farmer's market this morning. I think this may well have been my first time buying and cooking with tomatillos, although I have certainly enjoyed them many times when eating our or buying salsa. The "relish" had roasted tomatoes, cilantro, parsley, olive oil, and a jalepeno. It was a nice meal, though the soup did need some salt. Speaking of the farmers' market - almost this whole soup was from the market this morning... every single ingredient but the jalepeno. Cool!
Along with soup I also used my small skillet to make a half batch of the AMAZING "Southern Skillet Cornbread" from Real Food Daily. Oh yes, you should definitely make this.
In cleaning out my whole fridge & freezer, I discovered quite a collection of old frozen bananas. So, I made a double batch of banana bran bread - one with walnuts for us, and one without walnuts for my grandma. The one with walnuts is the darker one... since I accidentally left it in the oven for about 15 minutes too long. Drat! I was afraid it would be too dry, but it's okay. It's not as moist as I would like, but at least it's still tasty!
It's good to be back in the kitchen and back at the blog!

What a gorgeous new kitchen!! I already know you'll use it well, with all the fabulous baking and cooking that you do!!
I too have a gas-stove (used to have an electric one), and it's absolutely amazing - I can't believe how much better it is!! You'll love yours, for sure.
mmm, the carrot soup looks divine; I've never seen purple tomatillos before - how intriguing!!; That banana-bran bread looks INCREDIBLE (even if it didn't come out as moist as you would have liked it to).
And that is why I rent my apartment...if something breaks, I call the office and it gets fixed in a day... I love those purple tomatillas! What a cool color for fall dishes. I've heard of orange cauliflower, red oranges, and blue corn, but never purple tomatillas. Very nice.ReplyDelete
how lucky are you to have a gas stove! that is my one day dream!!!ReplyDelete
Electric stoves confuse me. It's sad because I'm supposed to be young and modern, but I couldn't work one to save my life.ReplyDelete
Your kitchen looks lovely, a very nice atmosphere for cooking. :)

Yay for new appliances!ReplyDelete
When we bought our first house 4 years ago it had a stove and fridge that probably dated to the 60's. We replaced them before we even moved in. And in contrast to Sam, that's what I like about owning a house. While it's definitely a pain to fix stuff yourself, it's nice to have the freedom to do it however you want to. I like our new gas stove so much better than all the lousy electric coil-burner stoves we had in our rental places.
A new fridge and stove - yee ha! And it's even a gas stove - those are the best, in my humble opinion. I wish you many happy baking adventures in your new and improved kitchen!ReplyDelete
So that's what you've been up! I don't even you going thru a remodel, but the kitchen looks great. Gas stoves are the best. That cornbread looks fabulous! It's going to accompany my next pot of chili.ReplyDelete
A purple tomatillo?!!
Congrats on the new kitchen items! The foods look lovely, as usual. I need to make cornbread- yum!ReplyDelete
that's exciting!! and by "that" I mean everything: new kitchen! purple tomatillos! cornbread! soup! yum! congrats on getting the kitchen remodel done.ReplyDelete
Your kitchen looks so awesome now. I know you're so excited. The food looks great (as always) too.ReplyDelete
So good to have you back, Amey! What a stressful, yet awesome set of changes in your kitchen. My favorite is the gas stove- cookin' with gas is the best! Now you can char things on the stove top! And bake tons of roasted caramelized veggies! Woo.ReplyDelete
Oh, I'm so sorry we won't be able to hang in CA in January- but how exciting about your trip. I can't wait to hear all about it! And now, I'm going to start pestering you about how much you and Musty NEED to come out to Syracuse for vacation! ;-)

|Inflation (yearly average, %)
|Budget balance (% GDP)
|Current account balance (% GDP)
|Public debt (% GDP)
(f): forecast
- Significant oil reserves along the Orinoco river and potential offshore gas fields
- Geographic proximity to the United States, the leading market for Venezuelan oil
- Assets (including in the United States) of the State oil company, PDVSA
- Growing workforce
- In default on its sovereign and quasi-sovereign debt
- Economy heavily dependent on oil and gas sector and loans from China and Russia
- Hyperinflation
- Shortages of currency and goods (basic foodstuffs, medicines)
- Opaque and informal management of oil and gas revenues
- Length of payment time in business
- Serious political insecurity
- Criminality (homicides), corruption, trafficking of all types, black market
Acute and far-reaching crisis
In crisis since 2014, the Venezuelan economy is expected to remain in deep recession in 2018 under the impact of hyperinflation and declining oil and gas production. Despite the recent rise in oil prices, oil and gas revenues are likely to continue falling, with production collapsing (-13.5% between October 2016 and October 2017) due to a lack of investment. As oil accounts for 90% of exports, 50% of budget revenues, and almost all of currency earnings, this decline is expected to worsen the existing macroeconomic imbalances.
The non-oil economy is expected to contract further, suffering from a lack of investment following years of neglect in favour of the oil and gas sector. The difficulty of obtaining intermediate products and capital goods is undermining industrial output, because the private sector depends on the state for access to foreign currency – which has become increasingly scarce. This decline in productive capacity is taking place in a context of hyperinflation. The monetisation of the public deficit due to the decline in oil revenues has caused inflation to soar, exacerbated by the plummeting value of the Venezuelan bolivar and rocketing import prices. In this context, household purchasing power continues to be seriously diminished, and remittances from the growing expatriate population are often the main source of household income. The shortage of everyday essentials is becoming increasingly severe due to the government's reduced import policy. Investment is likely to continue its decline in a business climate that is being undermined by the government (arbitrary expropriations, intrusive checks, and inspections by the state) and in a context of widespread political insecurity.
Fragile budget and external positions
The decline in oil revenues, together with the real-term reduction in non-oil revenues, has resulted in a rocketing of public deficit. However, the government has not reduced social spending in the same proportion. The deficit is largely being financed through monetisation, as well as via Russian and Chinese loans that are subject to "loan against oil" terms. Venezuela has been accumulating arrears on its principal payments on its sovereign and quasi-sovereign (PDVSA) debts to private creditors since the 2nd November 2017, and on payments to the Inter-American Bank of Development since the 14th December 2017. The country is facing the need to restructure its debt in order to recover access to international financing. Russia has granted it a restructuring covering USD 3.15 billion relating to payments due over the next six years. However, a more comprehensive restructuring appears to be more difficult following an unfruitful first round of meetings with creditors, while arrears keep accumulating. US sanctions against certain Venezuelan officials, including lead negotiator Tareck El Aissami (accused of drug trafficking), will prevent any US creditor from taking part in these negotiations and, hence, forbid any refinancing.
In terms of the current account, the trade balance should be slightly in surplus. This is a reflection of the contraction in imports (from USD 33.3 billion to USD 15.5 billion between 2015 and 2017) and a moderate decrease in oil exports, thanks to the recovery in oil prices. This surplus will offset the deficit in services, linked with the collapse in tourism and the cost of oil industry engineering services, as well as the high cost of debt servicing. However, the small current account surplus and the very low level of FDI will not be enough to meet the totality of the country's payment deadlines. This could still help soften the decline in currency reserves (at USD 9.9 billion in November 2017, including gold), even though it will not stop a further decline of the bolivar, due partly to capital outflows.
In order to reduce the gap between the official rate and the black market rate, the government devalued the bolivar by 99.6% in February 2018 via the introduction of a new auction system: the Dicom. Significant efforts are being made at the same time to fight the black market. This has translated in an intervention in one of the country's major banks to control current account transactions attributed to the black market. The authorisation has also been granted to officially exchange expatriate remittances at a lower rate than the official rate (but still higher than the black market rate) in order to attract some of the remittances into the official foreign exchange reserves. However, these measures have not restored confidence in the monetary system, and the unofficial exchange rate keeps rising (approximately VEB 3.5 million for USD 1 mid-July 2018).
Tense political situation
2017 was a year of rising political tensions resulting from the economic crisis, to which the government has so far been unable to propose a solution. The election of a Constituent Assembly in August 2017 was preceded by three months of conflict between government forces and supporters of the opposition, resulting in over a hundred deaths. This new assembly, which favours President Nicolás Maduro (Partido Socialista Unido de Venezuela, PSUV) because it was boycotted by the opposition, has been trying to take power away from Congress – which is dominated by the opposing Mesa Unitaria Democratica (MUD) coalition. An example of this was the announcement of Congress dissolution in August 2017. However, the wave of international outrage following this, accompanied by demonstrations within the country, forced the government to rescind the announcement – without actually defusing the situation. Elections of regional governors in October 2017, largely won by the governing PSUV party, strengthened the hand of President Maduro by highlighting divisions within the opposition. The decision by four governors – each members of MUD – to be sworn in by the Constituent Assembly generated considerable disagreement within the MUD coalition, as the vast majority of its members claim that the Assembly is without any legitimacy. The victory of the PSUV in the municipal elections in December 2017, boycotted by the opposition, further exacerbated these tensions. The government began to respond to the opposition's criticisms in November 2017 by agreeing to intensify the fight against corruption, beginning with the arrest of senior oil industry executives.
Despite a very low turnout (46%), divisions within the opposition allowed Mr Maduro to win the May 2018 presidential elections, which were strongly criticised by international observers for their lack of transparency.
On the international scene, the government is trying to get closer to Russia and China in order to gain access to financing, while the EU and the United States, along with a majority of Latin American countries, are imposing sanctions against the country – although they have not gone as far as stopping oil purchases entirely.

WASHINGTON Congressional lawmakers questioned broadband industry experts during a hearing on Capitol Hill on Wednesday, at times focusing on a contentious project meant to build an intranet across Colorado.
As part of the project, Eagle-Net Alliance is building a fiber-optic line to Silverton and other rural Colorado towns. But the companys undertaking a project that is supposed to build high-speed communications lines to schools and government buildings across the state has been suspended since early December because of environmental concerns.
The suspension should be lifted in the next four to six weeks, Eagle-Net officials said.
The project is funded by a three-year, nearly $101 million federal grant through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, better known as the stimulus bill.
Wednesdays hearing was the second in two days where Eagle-Nets practices were questioned. State legislators expressed frustration with the company during a one-hour hearing of the Legislative Audit Committee on Tuesday.
Similar frustrations were echoed in Washington on Wednesday, although no Eagle-Net officials offered testimony during the hearing.
We werent invited, and we werent asked to be there, said Eagle-Net spokeswoman Gretchen Dirks.
Instead, lawmakers, with U.S. Rep. Cory Gardner, R-Yuma, and Diana DeGette, D-Denver, leading the charge, grilled Lawrence Strickling, a U.S. Department of Commerce official, about Eagle-Nets progress.
Strickling works in the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, which is a part of the Department of Commerce.
Strickling often sidestepped direct questions from Gardner and DeGette, including when Gardner asked him if Eagle-Net had overbuilt the Eastern Plains while leaving the Western Slope without broadband.
That depended on the definition of overbuilding, Strickling said, but later added that the Western part of the state is underserved because of economic reasons.
In order to be able to economically serve the Western part of the state, Strickling said, there needs to be enough people to sustain the project.
There are huge advantages to a statewide approach to this, he said.
Later, Gardner asked Strickling to grade Eagle-Nets progress.
I wouldnt speculate on a grade, Strickling said.
Pete Kirchhof, executive vice president of the Colorado Telecommunications Association, also testified.
Eagle-Net has ignored the Western Slope, Kirchhof said, where broadband facilities are desperately needed.
But Eagle-Net officials defended the project, saying the Western Slopes mountainous terrain makes it difficult to build quickly.
For them to say nothings happened in the West is completely inaccurate, Dirks said. Its a geographically challenged build that takes longer to complete.
Eagle-Net still needs to build a line from Pueblo to Durango as part of its plan. Web traffic in southern Colorado currently is routed through Albuquerque. The company also plans to build a spur to Silverton.

I am going to be moving to Boston in about a week and a half, and am looking for some hitting partners...I like to hit with pace, so if you can that would be an added bonus, but not necessary. I enjoy games, but usually not right away, I'd rather hit for a couple of hours and get a good workout. So let me know! I will be living in Brookline, but am willing to meet elsewhere, as long as it's not super far away :) My schedule is pretty much open for the time being, besides Wednesday and Thursday nights. Take it easy and have a good one!
I walked around a little bit about a month ago and found Waldstein Park nearby, it looked like a pretty good spot, 8 courts, without lights...

You won't be reading about this in the New York Times, which is officially committed to a policy of nothing but bad news from now to November 2. But the Commerce Department released some good news tonight:
U.S. personal incomes rose 1.5 percent in the second quarter of 2004, the fastest pace of growth in more than three years, as income gains sped up in 33 states, the Commerce Department said on Tuesday.
All 50 U.S. states reported increases in personal income, and real earnings for all eight U.S. regions climbed above the level set in the first quarter of 2001, the previous peak in the national business cycle, the government reported.
"We do see an improving picture here," said Mark Vitner, an economist at Wachovia Securities. "I think the recovery has strengthened and broadened."
This will be a closely guarded secret unless John Kerry wins the election, in which case he, like Bill Clinton, will get credit for the rapidly improving economy that preceded his administration.

Google Translate is fantastic and ever developing service provided by Google. My staff sometimes finds things that are to say the least strange. This is one is a good sample; when you translate from English to Icelandic the "words" Lalalalala (five times) Google will translate it as Bjork, the famous Icelandic singer. Not sure where they pull this from (maybe some funny Icelanders contributing and having fun while they are at it), but being an Icelander I can say for sure Lalalalala does not translate Björk.

i love google. Thank you Google for that.

Life Lessons
After my mother Mary Finlayson died in 2006, our family found the treasure of her God Boxes where she wrote little notes of petition to God. Each note carried not only her love for us, her friends and even strangers but her personal perspective on how to live a life filled with joy and hope. These are seven life lessons gleaned from my mother's God Box of prayers.

It happened yet again!!!!
Posted 25 October 2008 - 01:10 PM
So last night when this happened I screamed at whatever it was to get out, I said "In the name of Jesus Christ I DEMAND you to GET OUT!". It felt a little embarassing but for a moment I felt safe, then the feeling came back again, and another item flew across the room. This happened 3 times before it completely stopped.
The thing that confuses me about my theory is that it happens even when both of us have gotten to the point where the anger just turns into sadness and we start crying. (pathetic I know.) So what do you think this is? Any websites on polterguists and energy would help a lot! And is a poltergist an actual ghost or does the shift in inatiment objects come from the person?

So, when is it just when there has been a fight, or at a time when emotions run lot higher than normal do things get thrown around?
It's pretty much whenever we fight about breaking up or me going to my parents house. But thats when emotions run highest to though.
I've said in the past Ted will start acting funny- like cereal killer funny, blank stare- he just looks like he could kill someone, and sometimes when that happens he'll just stand still for a long time without blinking. His eyes go dark and glassy, and it's just like out of a horror film. he doesn't do anything, but he has that look, and it's usually caused after his parents tell him the wish he was never born. Sometimes this happens at these times, but mostly on those days the power goes out later in the evening.
BTW, he NEVER remembers the times he goes into those phsycho modes. And the few times he has remembered he always says he heard some sort of voice telling him to hurt someone. Maybe it's schizzophrania, but I have a feeling it's something else.

Also, it sounds like there isn't a ghost at all, this same kind of thing happens with teenagers, they are so emotional that they can cause the symptoms of a haunting without even realizing it, these things happen only when the person is around, don't happen when they are gone, etc.
So it could be very well that your husband is causing the phenomenon to happen.

Actually most of the time the agent of poltergist activity is a young female. Do these things happen when you are not present? You might have inherent PK ability that is manifesting itself without your control
Redhead, he has headaches often. Almost every night actually. I've always been scared he might have a brain anurism it happens so often, and for nearly a whole day. He works at walmart, which are usually bright inside, and his is no different, and he has them worst when he works, or even goes into that store for 5 minutes! I think your onto something!

But football is the most important thing! I did not apply yo any Florida school. I am just saying what I have seen and heard here in Tampa and also in Tally. I think Stetson is a fine school. What an area to go to LS in!
Yeah funny avatar, sad situation. WTF is going on with him? I saw online they were saying it wasn't drugs but a medical condition. Think it might be a coverup?, I almost hope so as the alternative would be some serious and bad mental issues.
The worst thing about all this is that it will be all anyone is talking about when the season starts. We are going to get SO SICK of hearing about Sexton and his brush with the law or whatever. I just wanna watch football DAMN IT!

We're proud to announce that Swimways Corporation has been named one of 2014's Best Places to Work in Virginia by Virginia Business and Best Companies Group. From our scary fun Halloween contest, to our annual Day of Caring, there are so many reasons why working at Swimways is such a great experience.
To help welcome new employees to Swimways we have a program in place called N.E.A.T week. N.E.A.T stands for "new employee assimilation and training," it's a week long process where new hires spend time with existing employees in different departments, learning about their job duties, and connecting with each other on a personal level. We also offer paid volunteer leave, paid birthday leave, summer hours and an on-site gym.
The annual list of the Best Places to Work in Virginia was created by Virginia Business and Best Companies Group. This statewide awards program is a two-part survey process which identifies, recognizes and honors the best places of employment in Virginia. The collected information was then combined to determine the strengths and opportunities of the participating companies and the final rankings.

New Zealand Moves Forward With Three Strikes; Big Questions Left Unanswered
from the not-so-good dept
You're creating a copyright tribunal to handle all of these complaints, and yet we've heard exactly nothing about what this will entail, regarding standards of evidence and valid defenses....No matter what you feel the answers to the above questions are, the fact that this is not clear and has not been discussed with regards to New Zealand's proposed law seems tremendously problematic. It leaves all sorts of questions on the table that could make the law incredibly bad. And the answers to those questions -- no matter which way they go, raise questions about this law:
The dilemma: I have a wifi hotspot in my home, attached to my internet account. It's unsecured. A hacker or ne'er do well logs in to my hotspot, torrents a bunch of movies without my knowledge. Later I receive infringement notices and have to show up at the tribunal. I'm stunned, because I know nothing about it.
Is my defense of an unsecured wifi hotspot, combined with total ignorance of the matter, valid?
Change the parameters a little. My hotspot is secured by WEP, and a hacker cracks it (which is amazingly easy to do). Same scenario ensues. Is this a valid defense?
What about IP spoofing? What if someone frames me for infringement when I've not engaged in the activity? Is that a valid defense?
If these defenses are valid, then the copyright tribunal is redundant; anyone aware of these issues has so many plausible defenses that there is no way to prove infringement.His final point is that this bill would create a new class of criminals totally at the behest of an industry -- which isn't quite how things are supposed to work:
If these defenses are not valid, then the tribunal is a sham and a rubber-stamp for industry interests, because there is no way to prove your innocence in light of accusation.
You're criminalizing a non-criminal behavior based on exactly nothing of substance, and at the behest of a private industry.Good questions -- but somehow I doubt we'll get any substantial answers from New Zealand MPs.
I'm of the mindset that if you're going to criminalize a behavior, you had best meet the burden of proof as to why that behavior is being outlawed.
Can the NZ MPs do that? If they can, they're doing their best to hide their evidence. The industry's own statistics have been called into question and ultimately they've been debunked.
So the obvious question: on what grounds are you justifying this?

OpenXava 4.2.3 released
Multitenancy applications for the Cloud with OpenXava
February 17, 2015
Multitenancy allows you to deploy an application once and this single application can server several companies at the same time, where each company has access only to its own data. This is perfect for SaaS (Software as a Service), so you can deploy your application in the cloud and rent it to many customers. Also it's very useful for creating multimunicipality applications for public administration. Even if you're not interested in multicompany applications having several isolated datasets allows you do interesting things, such as having a production and testing databases without effort.
Since v5.2 OpenXava supports multitenancy (with XavaPro). To support multitenancy it uses a new concept: Organization. You will find a new module, Organizations, in the Admin folder:
This new module allows creating a new organization just specifying its name and clicking a button:
After cliking on the button "Create new organization", the new organization is ready to be used in the specified URL. The creation process creates a new schema in the database, creates all the application tables and populates the admin tables.
You can go to the company URL (/YourAplication/o/YourCompany) directly or to the application URL (/YourApplication). In the later case the sign in form will ask you for the company with a combo:
Each organization has its own users, passwords, roles and rights, of course.

The Forester football team was defeated 29-24 by visiting Ripon College on Saturday in the Midwest Conference opener for both teams. Lake Forest junior wide receiver Austin Sobey caught a pair of touchdown passes in the contest.
Sobey finished 79 receiving yards on a team-high six catches. Senior Kevin Davis hauled in four passes and led the receivers with 95 yards. Junior quarterback Pete Scaffidi completed 20 of 27 passes for 260 yards and three touchdowns with just one interception. Sophomore tailback Al Mitchell was the home team's leading rusher with 76 yards on 15 carries and also added 15 yards on five receptions.
Sophomore linebacker Jordan Cruz and defensive lineman Michael Garetto-Balmer led the Forester defense with 10 tackles apiece and senior safety Luke Butts added nine.
Ripon received the opening kickoff and drove 72 yards in 11 plays before kicking a 25-yard field goal.
Lake Forest responded with a 12-play, 66-yard drive that ended with a 23-yard field goal by junior Dominick Campagna. Scaffidi connected on a 20-yard pass play to Davis during the possession and added a 10-yard run of his own to set up first-and-goal.
Ripon's next drive lasted 11 plays, covered 78 yards, and extended into the second quarter. The scoring play was a 12-yard run. After a Forester turnover, the Red Hawks needed just three plays to travel 38 yards to the end zone and take a 17-3 lead.
Lake Forest was forced to punt and the ensuing Ripon possession covered 13 more plays but ended with a failed attempt to convert on fourth-and-goal from the 1-yardline.
The defensive stand clearly motivated the home team and the offense took advantage with a 7-play, 99-yard drive to trim the deficit to 17-10. Scaffidi completed a 49-yard pass to Davis on the drive's first play to reach midfield. Sophomore wide receiver, who did not see any action in 2010 due to injury, caught his first career pass to move the ball into Ripon territory and then made a diving catch of a 19-yard pass from Scaffidi in the end zone for his first touchdown.
The Red Hawks reached the Forester 37-yardline on their final possession before a long pass was picked off by sophomore Darrius McKay. McKay's first career interception kept the score at 17-10 going into the locker room at halftime.
Ripon forced Lake Forest to punt on the first possession of the second half and then recorded a 12-play, 80-yard touchdown drive to extend its lead to 23-10.
Mitchell started the next Forester drive with a 2-yard reception and three carries for a total of 22 yards to the Ripon 31. Thee more rushes by the home team took the ball to the 17, setting up Sobey's first touchdown reception of the day. Campagna's extra point made the score 23-17 with six minutes left in the third quarter.
Both of the teams turned the ball over on downs on their next possessions. Ripon then embarked on a 7-play, 64-yard touchdown drive but came up short on its two-point conversion attempt.
Junior tight end Justin Smith got the Foresters' next drive going with his first career reception, a 22-yard catch on third-and-10 from the Lake Forest 10-yardline. Scaffidi completed eight passes for 96 yards on the scoring drive, including a 12-yard reception by Sobey for the touchdown. The extra point brought the home team to within five point with 2:51 to play.
An onside kick was unsuccessful but the Forester defense stepped up and stopped the Red Hawks on downs at the Lake Forest 34 with 1:47 on the clock.
The comeback attempt was thwarted, however, on the first play of the drive by a Ripon interception, which sealed the Red Hawk's 29-24 victory.
The Foresters will be at home again next Saturday afternoon when they take on Illinois College at 1:00.

Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry - registry for type constraints
version 2.1605
This class is a registry that maps type constraint names to Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint objects.
Currently, it is only used internally by Moose::Util::TypeConstraints, which creates a single global registry.
Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry is a subclass of Class::MOP::Object.
This creates a new registry object based on the provided
This is an optional Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry object.
This is hash reference of type names to type objects. This is optional. Constraints can be added to the registry after it is created.
Returns the registry's parent registry, if it has one.
Returns true if the registry has a parent.
Sets the parent registry.
This returns the Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object from the registry for the given name, if one exists.
Returns true if the registry has a type of the given name.
Adds a new Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object to the registry.
This method looks in the current registry for the named type. If the type is not found, then this method will look in the registry's parent, if it has one.
See "BUGS" in Moose for details on reporting bugs.
