Financial MarketsInterventionism
Central bankers are saying two things at once. First, they say that negative interest rates are a natural historical development. But then they say negative rates are an essential tool central banks are using to manipulate the economy.
Big GovernmentDecentralization and SecessionFree Markets
The lockdowns of the past month have not been conducive to the common good. While they have saved the lives of many people, they have also endangered—and are still endangering—the lives and livelihoods of many others. They have created a new and dangerous political precedent.
War and Foreign Policy
What is a national-security state? It is a totalitarian-like governmental structure that consists of an enormous military-intelligence establishment with extraordinary powers, such as indefinite detention, torture, secret surveillance, and even assassination of both citizens and foreigners.
Taxes and SpendingWar and Foreign Policy
Despite its supposedly strained relationship with the Saudi regime, the Obama administration, for example, still managed to offer the royals of that kingdom a record $136 billion in US weapons between 2009 and 2017.
The shift toward empire has brought about the destruction of American liberty and privacy here at home. That's what the surveillance, torture, and indefinite detentions of American citizens are all about — to supposedly protect us from the dangers produced by U.S. intervention abroad.
Global Economy
Kai-Fu Lee's new book AI Superpowers offers many insights into the development of of AI, but too much of the book is spent chasing economic phantoms.
Francsico García Paramés notes that economists who focus on near-term forecasting are generally useless to investors. But principles of Austrian economists — and a long-term view in general — can provide insights outside the mainstream.

For centuries, entrepreneurial talents in China were diverted to military wars, political struggles, and government services. But now things are changing.

By default RefTagger will tag only the bare Bible references on your site. If a Bible reference is already linked to Bible.Logos.com or another online Bible site, RefTagger will ignore it. So you won't get the cool tooltips to show up on references you've already linked manually.
We've received some feedback from people who want to be able to link Bible references to Bible.Logos.com and have RefTagger add the tooltips, so we've decided to add support for it. It also works with Ref.ly links, which is perfect if you syndicate your Twitter feed to your blog.
Here are a couple of examples:
- Ro 8:28 (linked to http://bible.logos.com/passage/Ro8.28)
- Jn 3:16 (linked to http://ref.ly/Jn3.16)
All you need to do to enable this new functionality is add one additional line of code to the RefTagger script code in the footer of your site. Simply add
Logos.ReferenceTagging.lbsConvertHyperlinks = true;
to the RefTagger JavaScript code anywhere before the line
This will tell RefTagger to add tooltips to all of the Bible references that are hard linked to Bible.Logos.com or Ref.ly.
Why would you want to do this? Well, since RefTagger uses JavaScript, Bible references in your site's feed don't get linked because the JavaScript code runs only on your site, not in your readers' feed reader (e.g., Google Reader or Bloglines). If you want your Bible references to be linked in your feed, you'll have to link them manually (or use this hack to save a little time). Before, you had to choose between linking your Bible references to Bible.Logos.com or using RefTagger. Now you can do both and enjoy the best of both worlds.

No quotes from Moshiri. Just speculation that Simeone is our number 1 target.
No quotes whatsoever from anyone other than Sky Sports news "understand" that he is one of four candidates that Everton are interested in and that they have held talks with Allardyce.
I don't like the man. The Panorama programme solidified this impression even if the material isn't completely proven. Also listening to Everton Business Matters fawn over him really annoys me, which is a shame as its a good podcast.The main reason I dislike him apart from him basically using sales to cover spending on players, is I firmly believe the ground move to the city centre has sod all to do with benefitting the club/fans and more to do with making HIM more money. Walton will suffer, the atmosphere will suffer, fans will suffer and possibly even the team may suffer. However the club will be more profitable for Mr Moshiri.Jack Walker was no angel, but he died recently and some of our fans are so wide-eyed on Moshiri you almost wonder whether they have been led to believe the club for him is a labour of love. It isn't. It was for Bill Kenwright and he wasn't any good either. Moshiri is a capitalist out for his own pocket and seeking to commercialize our club into 'Brand Everton' and take it away from our origins. Fans are falling for that way too easily in my opinion. If he didn't have money I would see no difference between him and the Hull/Cardiff chairman who had no prior connection/commitment to their clubs either.
Believe he's been having private tuition from Gold and Sullivan on how to repeatedly make your club a national laughing stock
Why, what's he done ? Serious question.
Cringeworthy Sky Sports phonecalls to Jim White and laughable transfer/manager targets aside yeah?
I know yeah fuck him. Wish we weren't getting a new stadium and spending loads on transfers. Bring back Bill and poverty. Wish we still had Moyes. I miss Osman.
We wait twenty years for a sugar daddy investor to come along and when he does we can't wait to spout venom and derision based on fuck all, right , fuck him, Moshiri out, who needs a stable financial base to work from.

The role of Islam in government is a big question in today's presidential election in Egypt.The leading candidates are debating it, and so are people struggling for freedom across the Arab world. Can their largely democratic and human rights-oriented demands be met with Islamic sharia?
The word sharia has at least three meanings with a variety of interpretations. It can refer to the principles of religion – rather than a dictate; the laws expressed by God in the sacred texts of Islam; and the understandings that Muslim legal scholars arrive at through a particular methodology of reasoning (fatwas). Even within these definitions, there are competing interpretations.
Traditionalist readings, which largely reflect the cultural norms and values of patriarchal societies and despotic political systems, dominate in the Muslim Middle East. In countries such as Iran and Saudia Arabia, sharia oppresses women and metes out violent, retributive, medieval justice. This is clearly no option for democratic societies.
Alternative interpretations emphasize the role of law and faith in extending and defending human rights. Such interpretations might offer new possibilities. But what would they look like?
One example is the early process of Islamization of the Iranian government after the overthrow of the Shah in 1979 – when freedom-based sharia made a brief appearance, even as it competed with a repressive interpretation.
Still, during the first two years of the revolution, there was a strong showing of sharia based on passages in the Quran that freedom is the essence of all living beings, and that the ultimate purpose of law is to protect both human life and the environment from all forms of despotism and violence.
These views are grounded in three Quran-based principles that are particularly relevant for today's emerging Muslim democracies.
First, there is to be no compulsion of religious beliefs. While this principle is inspired by the Quran (chapter 2, verse 256), in modern law making it would form the basis for protecting religious freedoms and belief in general, by removing imposition on any type of belief. Or, as the German sociologist Jürgen Habermas has pointed out, there must be freedom of all discourse, including for religious fundamentalists to express themselves.
Second, the guiding principles of "punishment" in the Quran, if read comprehensively, are restoration, mitigation, and forgiveness (Quran, 2:178). In this reading of sharia, capital punishment must be abolished and all forms of cruel, degrading, or inhuman punishment must be replaced with restorative and dignity-based ones.
The third principle is hifzh al-aql, which means the "protection of thought and freedom of conscience." There is no "apostasy" here, no punishment for those who "leave" Islam or any other faith.
Historically, the concept of apostasy was introduced into Islam after the death of the Prophet Muhammad, during the 7th and 8th centuries by theologians seeking to impose a particularly repressive system of belief. There can be no crime of belief.
Sadly, the vision of freedom-based sharia failed to establish itself in Iran. It was quickly replaced by a violent, power-based version following a coup against President Abulhassan Banisadr in 1981, who advocated these principles. But it set a precedent and represents an unfinished project.
Rising Muslim politicians espousing a democratic interpretation of sharia have a solid foundation to stand on. But they and the supporters of this view will need to work hard for its broader acceptance in traditional Muslim societies.
One way to do that is to encourage a more sophisticated use of Ijtihad, or the independent interpretation of Islamic legal sources, primarily of the Quran.
Another is to revive the three principles we've mentioned as viable models for discussion in emerging Muslim democracies. And deeper study needs to be done to understand the relationship between Islamic law and religious and political power, and how certain forms of it led to despotism.
The Arab awakening provides renewed hope that this work can flourish. Non-Arab Muslim states such as Indonesia and Malaysia are experimenting in balancing democracy and sharia, and can also provide hope for countries in the greater Middle East.
If citizens keep demanding human rights, sharia in harmony with such rights can blossom.
Mahmood Delkhasteh is a political sociologist, specializing in the 1979 Iranian Revolution, a writer, and democracy activist. Hassan Rezaei works at the Max Planck Institute in Heidelberg, Germany, on comparative Islamic law. He is coauthor with A.H. Banisadr of the Persian-language book: "The Koran: Book of the Discourse of Freedom."

It's a close but complicated childhood friendship that ends abruptly in their early twenties, never to be revisited, but never quite forgotten either.Bursting with energy, rhythm and movement, Swing Time is Zadie Smith's most ambitious novel yet.

The ensuing rebellion under the leadership of the pigs Napoleon and Snowball leads to the animals taking over the farm. Vowing to eliminate the terrible inequities of the farmyard, the renamed Animal Farm is organised to benefit all who walk on four legs. But as time passes, the ideals of the rebellion are corrupted, then forgotten. And something new and unexpected emerges. . .

Hardinge Group is a leading machine tool manufacturer offering a wide range of highly reliable turning, milling, grinding and work holding solutions. The company supports a variety of market applications, including aerospace, automotive, medical, energy, construction, agriculture, mold, tool and die, etc.
With factories in USA, Switzerland, China Taiwan and Shanghai, Hardinge is focused on consistent high quality super-precision, and high-performance. To do so, the quality requirements to their sub suppliers are very high – including the pump supplier.
The situation
Today, the competition within machine tools is very strong. Under the circumstances, customers focus increasingly on machine tool accessories or components and often individual component brands become an important indicator when customers choose machine tools.
And that is because, the quality of the individual components play an important part in the performance and quality of the machine tool.
To secure the high quality of their products, the factories in USA, Switzerland and Taiwan use Grundfos pumps only. And with a gradually expanding production scale within aerospace, automotive, electronics, mold and other fields, the Shanghai factory also turned to Grundfos.
The Grundfos solution
Having used other pump brands in their products for some time, local customers requested higher quality. As a result, the Hardinge Shanghai factory decided to produce high-end solutions with Grundfos pumps for their more demanding customers.
The Grundfos Machining Competence Centre worked in close cooperation with Grundfos China to develop a new product variant, which perfectly matched Hardinge requirements. Hardinge uses the new compact Grundfos MTH pump variant as a circulator and/ or high-pressure cooling pump for their high end machine tools. With the MTH, Hardinge got the stability compactness, performance and range that no other pump range could promise.
The outcome
Hardinge Shanghai is very pleased with the new solution, but also with the cooperation with Grundfos. Grundfos has provided professional technical support and the logistics have always worked smooth.
As a result of the cooperation, Hardinge Shanghai has been able to increase its own market competitiveness. And in the future, the Grundfos and Hardinge cooperation may just result in an even more compact variant, with even stricter quality requirements.
"The company philosophies of Grundfos and Hardinge are very similar. And Grundfos pumps are definitely worthy of the Hardinge brand. And because Grundfos continues to supply high quality pumps at competitive prices, we hope this cooperation will continue for many years."
Doctor Peter Qiu, Assistant General Manager at Hardinge Machine Shanghai
Grundfos' focus on machine tools results in a new product and an innovative solution for Hardinge.

In recognizing a person there are certain features of the person that is peculiar to the person. Gait recognition is as unique as his voice. A person's finger print or blood group adds to his individual characteristic. Visual clues we rely for such recognition one may say is basic for a appreciating caricature. In the pre War days cartoonists had a field day using tooth brush moustache, an umbrella or a cigar that gave the reader a clue to the identity. Toothbrush moustache was the trademark of Hitler as an umbralla characterized Chamberlain. Churchill's cigar and his baby face were as easily identifiable as the profile of Hitchcock was later.
A face may be drawn and many details of it may be left out and still one may recognize it. Suppose one goes on removing features there comes a point the face is no longer identifiable. This point where such a change occures is Point of Recognizable Limit PRL
Let us apply the same principle to economics. Equilibrium is the word.
The term equilibrium is used to suggest a state of "balance" between supply forces and demand forces. For example, an increase in supply will disrupt the equilibrium, leading to lower prices. Eventually, a new equilibrium will be attained in most markets. Then, there will be no change in price or the amount of output bought and sold — until there is an exogenous(1) shift in supply or demand.
Not all economic equilibria are stable. if a movement out of supply/demand equilibrium leads to an excess supply (glut) that induces price declines till the quantity demanded equals the quantity supplied.
(1)Exogeny:a change in consumer tastes or preferences works from outside. Dress from animal skins, fur for example alligator shoes may go out of fashion since people are conscious of conservation, ethical living.Naturally it shall lead also changes within(endogenous) till equilibrium price is arrived.

Tickets are on sale now for the Celebration of Music set for 5 p.m. Friday, Nov. 11, at Penn State York. Tiffany Barlow, a senior in human development and family studies (HD FS) at York, decided to put together an evening of music to raise funds for the Educational Opportunity Program (EOP). Barlow, from Fairfield, Pa., is working with EOP students and the program as part of her HD FS internship. The musical celebration is in the Conference Center of the Main Classroom Building at the campus.
"The reason for the Celebration of Music is to raise money for the EOP," said Barlow. "This important program provides opportunities to students of limited financial means who are interested in Penn State and who show academic promise and ability but may not initially fall within the general admission standards in terms of high school grades and standardized test scores. The EOP offers support and resources for these students to help them throughout college and help them succeed."
Through her work with EOP students, Barlow has learned of situations where students are in need of additional financial support other than the $125 certificate that is provided to them if they meet the criteria of the program and attend study halls and meetings. Barlow wants to be sure students can pay for their books and hopes the musical event will bring in additional funds for the program.
Barlow has put together an evening of music including everything from a piano and violin musical duel to a screamo band. The performers will be set-up around the Conference Center and take turns performing.
Performers include Clutch the Impulse, a screamo band; We Fought by the Sword, a hardcore, rock, techno, and alternative band that includes Martin Arabi, a Penn State York student; SYGNAL, otherwise known as Dubset DJ and local artist Connor Strategos; and Eli Flako Almanzar, a Latino DJ and a student at Penn State York who is part of the EOP. Rhoi Fajardo and Peter Bottros, both Penn State York students, will have a musical duel on piano and violin; and finally, Penn State York student Scott M. Bowser's alternative band will perform.
Tickets are $5 for Penn State York students, faculty, staff and alumni; and $10 for the general public. Children under age 12 are free. Tickets will be available at the door and can also be purchased from noon to 1 p.m. Nov. 8 and 9, outside the Lion's Den in the Joe and Rosie Ruhl Student Community Center on campus.
For more information on the event, contact Barlow at firstname.lastname@example.com or 717-515-0686.

Russia will recognize the outcome of Ukraine's presidential vote, President Vladimir Putin promised Friday, voicing hope that Ukraine's new leader would halt the military operation against separatists in the east.
ST. PETERSBURG, Russia � Russia will recognize the outcome of Ukraine's presidential vote, President Vladimir Putin promised Friday, voicing hope that Ukraine's new leader would halt the military operation against separatists in the east.
But clashes between pro-Russia separatists and government forces appeared to be heating up, leaving 20 more rebels and one solider dead, Ukraine's Defense Ministry reported Friday. AP reporters saw three other bodies.
Up to 500 insurgents attacked a convoy of government troops in a clash that lasted for several hours Thursday and killed 20 rebels outside the eastern village of Rubizhne, the ministry said. It also said one soldier was killed early Friday near the same area after insurgents ambushed Ukrainian troops in a separate clash.
These claims from the Luhansk region � which has declared independence from Kiev � could not be independently confirmed. It was also not immediately clear why reports of such a major clash in a populated area took more than a day to surface.
In Kiev, Ukraine's caretaker president urged all voters to take part in Sunday's crucial ballot to "cement the foundation of our nation." Yet it was uncertain whether any voting could take place in eastern Ukraine, where, in addition to the fighting, a vote boycott and threats against election workers were disrupting the upcoming ballot.
AP journalists saw three dead from Friday's fighting in the eastern Donetsk region, another area that has declared independence. One rebel leader said 16 more people died Friday in fighting there � 10 soldiers, four rebels and two civilians �but there was no immediate way to verify his statement.
Speaking at an investment forum in St. Petersburg, Putin said Russia will "respect the choice of the Ukrainian people" and will work with the new leadership. He said Russia wants peace and order to be restored in its neighbor.
Markets rallied and the ruble surged in value against the dollar Friday as the CEOs and economic experts at the forum praised Putin's efforts to defuse the tensions.
The Russian leader also spoke of mending ties with the United States and the 28-nation European Union, which have slapped asset freezes and travel bans on members of his entourage and had threatened to introduce more crippling sanctions if Russia tried to derail Sunday's vote in Ukraine.
Alexei Makarkin, deputy head of the Moscow-based Center for Political Technologies think-tank, said Putin's comments reflected a desire to avoid another round of Western sanctions. He added, however, that Russia's relations with Ukraine will be unlikely to normalize any time soon.
Twenty-one candidates are competing Sunday to become Ukraine's next leader. Polls show billionaire candy-maker Petro Poroshenko with a commanding lead but falling short of the absolute majority needed to win in the first round. His nearest challenger is Yulia Tymoshenko, the divisive former prime minister, who is trailing by a significant margin. If no one wins in the first round, a runoff will be held June 15 � and most polls predict Poroshenko's victory in that contest.
Poroshenko, the likely winner, will probably focus on forging close ties with the West, said Makarkin, the analyst.
"He may take Russia's interests into account, but only to a limited extent," he said. "A quick warming of ties is unlikely."
Russia annexed the Crimean Peninsula in March, grabbing a large section of Ukraine's Black Sea coastline and triggering the worst crisis in relations with the West since the Cold War.
Putin blamed the crisis on what he described as Western "snobbery" and a stubborn reluctance to listen to Russia's economic and security concerns. He said the sanctions on his inner circle were unfair.

This photo was taken when I went to the New Delhi trip. And, guess what, he actually knew we wanted to take photo on him. But, he just continue to do whatever he is doing there...
Posted by 阿晶 regine at 5:27 PM
Can anybody please tell me what is wrong with these emails?
And, this is what I get for reply..
Then, I send another email..
Right after that, I've got no reply at all.
Does the problem lies on me? Am I being over react? Am I being too pushy?
Did I ruined the matter?
Hi XXX,
FYI, there was an accident happened last Saturday midnight. My room's heater got burn off with fire out of nowhere. It happened at 2am plus, when everybody is asleep. The heater placed right next to the bed. Fortunately, it just burn off itself and didn't exploded that it would possibly hurt me any time.
I've informed Mr. YYY to change a new one for me, and as promised, he said will replace another unit by today. And right after the accident, I found my bathroom's water heater was dysfunction too. There is no more hot water. This one, I've also informed the maid so she could tell Mr. YY when he come in by today.
This has been the second heater I requested to change. Also, fyi, I switch on the heater only when I'm about to sleep, till the next morning when I wake up. It did not switched on 24/7.
Based on the past experiences, we suspected the power supply or the power supply management in the aparment may be somehow in problems. There have been 2 power extensions been dysfunction. There even once, some part of the area at the main power's suis there got burn off when I on the air-corditioner in my room.
Now, our concern is how can this happened? Was it merely the heater problem? If so, how could company gave us such lousy heater? Or was it the power supply in the apartment problem? Luckily I managed to wake up before the fire gets too far. I really cannot imagine what will be the consequences if the fire gets wild, and it burn the apartment, burn 4 of us, further to burn the building. And, fyi, I can't even find a fire extinguisher in the apartment!!!
It would be much appreciated if you could send someone to investigate it, and we insist to know the actual causes for this. Till then, I don't think the apartment is safe enough to stay. It may be my heater got burn off this time, what about next?
Please revert asap, so to clear our doubts, and so we could stay in the apartment safe and sound.
Thanks & regards,
And, this is what I get for reply..
Hi ZZZ,
We are seized of the situation and we are happy that you are safe and hale & hearty. The power supply has been checked thoroughly and its perfect.
You will be provided with new heater. Please make sure that before going to bed, heater should be kept at a safe distance and should not be put near the bed or curtains or any inflammable items.
I appreciate your concerns
Then, I send another email..
Hi XXX,
Thanks for the prompt reply. Am waiting for the new heater still.
Fyi, I have to put the heater near to the bed and curtains, because that is where the only available power plug is.
Also, could you please tell us what is the actual reason that the heater went on fire? If the power supply is perfect, so it's the heater that giving problem? How can company give such heater to us then?
And, shouldn't we have any fire extinguisher at home? What should we do if same thing happen again? What should we use to put off the fire? Please take in consideration of our safety as well.
Thanks & regards,
Right after that, I've got no reply at all.
Does the problem lies on me? Am I being over react? Am I being too pushy?
Did I ruined the matter?

John Roderick, Jonathan Coulton, and a Wunnerful Christmas
John Roderick and Jonathan Coulton each carved his own warm, authentic, relatable space in the indie rock scene, and their sounds and aesthetics are complementary enough to make a collaboration welcome and exciting. That the collaboration comes in the form of a Christmas album is unexpected, but the end result, One Christmas at a Time, is a fun and charming exploration of familiar holiday themes — from coping with drunk uncles to the one ultimate childhood gift. Roderick and Coulton join us this week to discuss their first meeting, the challenge inherent in capturing the feelings and emotions of the holiday season while maintaining secular points of view, and why celebrating Christmas in Los Angeles is contemptible.

My approach with this package is to examine backing up from the other side
of the equation. Given that a certain amount of space is available to hold
the backup files, IFW_Backup attempts to use this space efficiently to hold
the largest number of backup files.
This package will automatically decide whether it should take a full backup
or a changes-only backup based on historical data kept in its control files.
As well, a full backup can be specified via parameter, or by program code
(using day of week or month, or after a set number of change-only backups
have been taken, etc).
Also, when the space available for backups becomes nearly full, the oldest
backups will be deleted automatically to make room for the new.

ROME - Seven scientists and other experts went on trial on manslaughter charges Tuesday for allegedly failing to sufficiently warn residents before a devastating earthquake that killed more than 300 people in central Italy in 2009.
The case is being closely watched by seismologists around the globe who insist it's impossible to predict earthquakes and dangerous to suggest otherwise since seismologists will be discouraged from issuing any advice at all if they fear legal retaliation.
Last year, about 5,200 international researchers signed a petition supporting their Italian colleagues and the Seismological Society of America wrote to Italy's president expressing concern about what it called an unprecedented legal attack on science.
The seven defendants are accused of giving "inexact, incomplete and contradictory information" about whether smaller tremors felt by L'Aquila residents in the six months before the April 6, 2009 quake should have constituted grounds for a quake warning.
Prosecutors focused on a memo issued after a March 31, 2009 meeting of the Great Risks commission which was called because of mounting concerns about the months of seismic activity in the region.
According to the commission's memo — issued one week before the big quake — the experts concluded that it was "improbable" that there would be a major quake though it added that one couldn't be excluded.
Commission members also gave largely reassuring interviews to local media after the meeting which "persuaded the victims to stay at home," the indictment said.
The defendants' lawyers have insisted on their clients' innocence and stressed the impossibility of predicting quakes.
The 6.3-magnitude temblor killed 308 people in and around the medieval town of L'Aquila, which was largely reduced to rubble. Thousands of survivors lived in tent camps or temporary housing for months.
Tuesday's hearing was largely taken up with procedural details to inscribe the dozens of plaintiffs in the civil portion of the case, which will be heard alongside the criminal case. The plaintiffs are seeking some €50 million ($68.2 million) in damages, the ANSA news agency said.
"We are looking for justice, that's all," prosecutor Alfredo Rossini told reporters before the hearing, ANSA said.
The only one of the seven defendants in the chamber was Bernardo De Bernardinis, then-vice chief of the the technical department of Italy's civil protection agency. Another defendant, Enzo Boschi, then-head of the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology, was not present.
The judge set the next hearing for Oct. 1.
In addition to the memo issued after the Great Risks commission, prosecutors focused on interviews De Bernardinis and other members of the commission gave to local media stressing the impossibility of predicting quakes and that even six months worth of low-magnitude temblors was not unusual in the highly seismic region.
In one now-infamous interview included in the prosecutors' case, De Bernardinis responded to a question about whether residents should just sit back and relax with a glass of wine.
"Absolutely, absolutely a Montepulciano doc," he responded, referring to a high-end red. "This seems important."
The indictments sent shudders throughout the international earthquake community, which responded to a call for support by Italy's geophysics institute with 5,200 signatories of professors, seismologists, postdocs and researchers from New Zealand to Costa Rica, Japan to Martinique.
"Pursuing legal action against members of the seismological community after an earthquake is unprecedented and reflects a misunderstanding of the science of earthquakes," the president of the Seismological Society of America, Rick Aster wrote President Giorgio Napolitano.
Efforts should instead focus on working to better communicate earthquake risks to the public and boosting preparedness by retrofitting old and dangerous buildings, he said.
The American Geophysical Union warned that the trial would have the effect of harming efforts to understand natural disasters.
"Risk of litigation will discourage scientists and officials from advising their government or even working in the field of seismology and seismic risk assesment," the group said in a statement.
Many of the structures that collapsed in the 2009 quake were not properly built to standards for a quake-prone area like the central Apennine region of Abruzzo. Among the buildings which cracked and crumbled was L'Aquila's hospital, just as it was struggling to treat about 1,500 injured.
Nobody inside the hospital, which was built in the 1970s, was killed or injured in the quake.
Manslaughter charges are not unusual in Italy for natural disasters such as quakes, but they have previously focused on violations of building codes in seismic regions.
In 2009, for example, an appeals court convicted five people in the 2002 quake-triggered collapse of a school in southern San Giuliano di Puglia that killed 27 children — including the town's entire first-grade class — and a teacher. Prosecutors had alleged that shoddy construction contributed to the collapse of the school.

On Saturday, April 9, 2016, more than 55 volunteer fire departments throughout the state will celebrate the start of National Volunteer Week (April 10-16) by holding open houses. Shaker Pines Fire Department and North Thompsonville Fire Department will be participating in this special event by opening the doors to their fire houses located at 37 Bacon Road (Shaker Pines) and 439 Enfield Street (North Thompsonville) from 10:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m. Visitors to the fire houses will be able to talk with volunteer firefighters about the work they do, explore fire apparatus and turnout gear, get a tour of the fire house, and fill out an application. For more information, visit the Departments online at www.enfield-ct.gov and www.ntfd.net and find them on Facebook at SPFDENFIELD and North Thompsonville Fire Dept.
Eighty percent of all fire personnel in Connecticut are volunteers, and the majority of fire departments throughout the state are experiencing a volunteer shortage. Local fire departments need volunteers of all skill levels and abilities, people willing and able to respond to emergencies whenever called upon.
Volunteer Firefighter Day is part of Everyday Hero CT (www.EverydayHeroCT.org), a program dedicated to increasing the number of volunteer firefighters throughout the state. A partnership of the Connecticut Fire Chiefs Association (CFCA) and the International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC), the Everyday Hero CT campaign is a two-year Volunteer Workforce Solutions (VWS) initiative designed to address the shortage of volunteer firefighters in Connecticut. It is helping achieve a viable and sustainable volunteer firefighter workforce for 15 Connecticut fire departments. Everyday Hero CT is funded by a Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) grant awarded to the CFCA by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to develop a model to enhance the recruitment and retention of volunteer firefighters.

Brought to you by Black Orchid Management, Ltd.
If you were to ask me what I like most about flowers, I will tell you, they make me happy. They are beautiful to look at. Have you ever seen someone gaze upon a beautiful flower and stay in a bad mood? NEVER! Flowers, lift our spirits, they can change our mood, they make us happy and it is the one way, that we can tell someone we love them, simply by handing them a flower. Please follow me on my journey through the Belize rain forest jungle, to explore all the different flowers there are to see. I sincerely hope you enjoy my series entitled "Flowers of Belize".
Hibiscus plants are divided into two main categories, 1) the tropical flowering hibiscus and the 2) hardy flowering hibiscus family.
In Belize, we have the tropical hibiscus version. The tropical Hibiscus will not tolerate more than a night or two of light frost. One hard frost, below 25 degrees can kill the whole plant. These plants are native to sunny, warm, and usually humid tropical places, which is why you find them so abundantly in Belize. It will does not grow well in cooler, winter climates to the north or extreme south.
The second variation, is the hardy Hibiscus, and is more adaptable to cooler climates, and can be grown and be enjoyed as far north as Minnesota and New York. Hardy Hibiscus need very little care over the winter; they are root hardy and die back to the ground each year. Hardy hibiscus grow very quickly once they break ground in late spring.
We have Hibiscus flowering bushes all over the area we live, and they bloom off and on all year long. Lauren and I love looking at them, and Lauren often can't resist picking them and putting them in her hair when going to school.

Rolling back commercial property taxes
Two things are for certain – death and taxes.
Emmet County Assessor Barb Bohm told Estherville Rotarians Thursday how one of those certainties – property taxes – could be a little less taxing for commercial property tax owners.
Until the 2012 tax year, commercial property taxes were assessed at 100 percent.
However, in an effort to relieve the commercial property tax burden – and hopefully draw more businesses to Iowa or to encourage existing businesses to expand – the Iowa Legislature approved a graduated commercial property tax rollback, with commercial property taxes for 2013 rolled back 5 percent – not a lot, but at least a beginning.
Bohm said the rollback will continue for the next 10 years until commercial property taxes are the same as residential. That rate for 2013 is 54.002 percent. The 2014 tax year will subsequently see a rollback to 90 percent for commercial.
Bohm, who sent applications for the Business Property tax Credit to Emmet County commercial property owners, provided information showing there would be a $544.07 credit per unit on a $150,000 commercial property. In order to qualify as a unit, however, commercial property owners need to meet certain qualifications. Property must be:
n Within the same county.
n Have the same classification.
n Have the same ownership.
n Be a separate tax parcel.
n Be operated by that person for common use and purpose.

Thanks Schaef for pointing this article out.
McCarthy said yesterday that he thought our RBs did well Monday night and were productive. Here is the direct quote:
"You have to look at what's the definition of the run game. I looked at this particular game, and I felt that our running backs were productive," McCarthy said. "I thought Brandon and John played well with the opportunities that they were given with the ball in their hands and what was put in front of them. I thought the running back production was a positive in the game."
I know what he's saying – that considering the opponent, limited opportunities and the environment etc, they did as well as they could. That's kind of like saying about your defense "well, we were up against Peyton Manning and while he had 5TDs and 425 yards passing, he's really good and our guys did what they could with the opportunities they were given." THAT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH MM. I realize that MM's hands may be tied here somewhat w/re to getting a new RB and of course we don't know if he's beating down TT's door telling him to pick someone else up. But my concern is that TT, MM and even Capers (whom I'm guessing weighs in on such matters) are content holding out for the return of James Starks after Week 6 – a guy who hasn't played football in 2 years because of injuries. I hope Starks can be the guy and that he's awesome…of course. But I'll say it again – it's time for TT to make a splash and pick up someone who can not only carry us this year, but then run with Grant next year.
(Note: a stat I just noticed an interesting stat looking through the stats from Monday night: John Kuhn had 6 rushes for 31 yards. That's over 5 yards a carry. Though at first blush this stat may appear to sort of undo my argument above/my lobbying for a new RB, he had 18 of those yards on one incredibly well-designed run play – that one where we spread 3 TEs out to the right and all 3 blocked downfield for him. And, we all know Kuhn is not the answer at RB. If TT doesn't call Steve Slaton or Lynch or someone, I'm going to start making calls saying I'm with the Packers. I'll let you know how that goes.)

As details of the foiled al Qaeda plot to blow up a U.S.-bound airline became public, the world learned not only about a daring operation to stop terrorists, but also about the new reality of how U.S. intelligence works.
American and foreign intelligence partners working hand in hand to rid the world of the scourge of terror. You didn't see much of that 10 years ago, but it's exactly what happened recently.
The Saudis infiltrate an al Qaeda terrorist group in Yemen with their own mole, and the CIA and others are brought into the mix to help run an operation that eventually foils a possible bomb attack against an airliner destined for America.
"I'm not at all surprised that the press accounts of this have liaison services, particularly the Saudis, playing such a prominent role," said former CIA Director Michael Hayden. "That's the way I would have expected it to go."
The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, changed everything in the American intelligence community. It drove home the point that the Cold War was over. The battlefield looked quite different and the United States wasn't quite prepared.
It no longer sufficed to have satellites stare down at a static enemy behind the Iron Curtain, with tens of thousands of troops separating the Soviet Union from Western Europe.
The enemy became terrorist groups that for the most part hid in safe havens and operated from ungoverned territories seemingly out of the reach of traditional intelligence and military responses.
"The ability to penetrate a terrorist organization is an incredibly difficult task that we were poorly positioned to do in the 1990s and even a few years after 9/11," said Amy Zegart, a senior fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution and an expert on the intelligence community.
It has been an arduous task and it is far from complete, but Zegart believes U.S. efforts to bolster human intelligence capability and work much more closely with foreign intelligence counterparts are paying off.
Former FBI agent Ali Soufan told CNN the joint intelligence operation was as good as it gets.
"You have a place like Yemen. You have al Qaeda, CIA, you have other friendly intelligence agencies. You have a source inside. It doesn't get any better than that," he said.
And the operation turned out to be a twofer - that is, the mole not only secured the new generation bomb and helped get it out of Yemen, but he also helped identify the location of a senior al Qaeda operative in Yemen, enabling the CIA to use one of its other more recent tools, the armed drone.
Just about everyone CNN has spoken with within the intelligence community touts the value of the drone missile strikes. The program began in the Bush administration to target al Qaeda leaders in the tribal regions of Pakistan and has expanded extensively under President Obama. Terrorism experts including CNN's Peter Bergen agree the program has been extremely effective.
"The drone strikes are not just important in terms of eliminating the leadership of al Qaeda," Bergen said. "They are also important in terms of preventing people from training in the tribal region and making that very difficult because you are always looking over your shoulder for a drone attack."
Now drone strikes are being used far more extensively in Yemen, particularly in southern areas of the country where al Qaeda forces have taken control.
Setting aside the debate over whether the attacks represent extrajudicial killing, Zegart said opportunities to learn about al Qaeda's strategies are lost when the military simply kills terrorists rather than take them captive.
"That's a challenge," she said, "finding the right balance of using these drones and actually harvesting intelligence from people who are caught."
Cooperation and coordination between the intelligence community and the military has become a critical component of the counterterrorism campaign. While he was CIA director, Hayden said, the intelligence community worked closely with Gen. Stanley McChrystal, then commander of U.S. and coalition forces in Afghanistan.
"All things Stan McChrystal did - for example, the night raids, the sensitive site exploitation and the follow-on raids within hours and so on - that was based on intimate teamwork between JSOC and the American intelligence community."
The crown jewel of that type of cooperation was the successful Navy SEALs raid last year on the bin Laden compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, which lead to the death of the al Qaeda founder.
But Zegart maintains that operation was the "poster child" for the influence of a greatly enhanced analytic community.
"The real breakthrough there was thinking through a different lens," she said. "It's not how can we find bin Laden. It's what are the threads that could lead us to him. So you start to think about who are the couriers. That's then the critical piece in putting information together to track him down ultimately. We tend to focus on the operational success of the mission, but this was an analytical success first."
And those analysts came from a wide range of agencies within the intelligence community.
Inside the CIA command center the day of the bin Laden raid, it wasn't just Director Leon Panetta and his support staff anxiously monitoring developments during the operation. Senior officials from the Defense Department, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, and others were in the room. All played a unique role in what was a community-wide effort.
NGA Director Tish Long, whose agency analyzes imagery and who was in the ops center that day, said, "We were working very closely with NSA and CIA ,with the SIGINT and the HUMINT, our GEOINT - (it) truly was an integrated operation to understand what was happening at that Abbottabad complex."
U.S. officials and experts consistently point to the creation of the National Counterterrorism Center as a success story in the effort to remove the roadblocks within the intelligence community that inhibited the sharing of information. Hayden said the establishment of NCTC has led to deeper integration and cooperation among the 16 members of the intelligence community. That help NCTC analysts run down leads and connect the dots.
But the center faces hurdles. One of the reforms implemented at NCTC, after a failed attempt to blow up a Northwest Airlines commercial flight to Detroit on Christmas Day 2009, was to create pursuit teams to follow up on leads. The center was criticized at the time for not putting together a variety of clues that might have prevented suspect Umar Farouk AbdulMutallab from getting on the plane. People with specialized expertise are now brought in to analyze the data.
One of the pre-9/11 weaknesses the U.S. intelligence community has tried to address is increasing its pool of officers who are native speakers and have lived in cultures around the world. Although the numbers are significantly up, it's no match for what a foreign intelligence partner brings to the table.
"A partner brings focus, a partner brings linguistic agility, a partner brings cultural agility, which is very hard for us to come by," Hayden said.
But in the dangerous, unpredictable spy world, relying on a foreign partner can be risky. That was nowhere more evident than when a group of CIA officers planned a meeting with a trusted asset of the Jordanian intelligence service. The asset was, in fact, a double agent who came to the 2009 meeting in Khost, Afghanistan, wearing a suicide bomb vest that he detonated, killing seven CIA employees.
There could also be a downside to focusing almost exclusively on terrorism issues with some foreign partners. A former U.S. intelligence officer wondered if it comes at the expense of other issues.
"Would we have known more about the coming Arab awakening if our relationship with the Egyptian intelligence service had not been so much defined by our (counterterrorism) problem?" the official asked.
And even with the apparent success of the recent joint effort to stop the potential airline bombing, the one thing the intelligence community did not anticipate was that details of the operation would leak to the press.
The revelation might have al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula scrambling to find other infiltrators, and administration and congressional officials maintain this will make it more difficult to infiltrate AQAP. That would be a problem.
As Zegart put it, "There is no substitute for that human intelligence on the ground."
So what is your information based off of? I love all the anti-government, conspiracy, blah..blah..blah comments. Pick up a gun and find out the facts for yourself. I often wonder why I risk my life and my families quality of life for people like you.
the american government runs off the fear of the people. i think its disgsting that by making the people panic, they are inturn making believe that they are still needed to protect us. make sure to buy your anti terrorist sprays and safety whistles, americans
and dont forget that your government is keeping you safe, now go back to sleep.
As the speakers have said, the use of drones has effectively fragmented and disrupted the ability of Al-Queda and other affiliates to operate. However, human intelligence beats machines since robots cannot totally deduce emotions and it's these small signs that can indicate when a terrorist is lying or not.
I still cannot believe there are people who believe that the Arabs are responsible for 9/11. What a price they have paid, like burning "witches" when rains flooded out the crops. History will look back at this sad time for humanity, this inherent cruelty the Americans/Israelis have brought onto this world and judge it to be a huge miscalculation. I hope after the truth gets out the millions we have killed, persecuted and destroyed so our business sector can control the world will forgive us. Every empire falls fellow citizens, and when ours does justice will be done...
This writer must have been born yesterday.
New idea to use covert agents inside the enemies organization. The Mesopotamians were using that one.
So have we. What we haven't done, and what the writer is pointing out, is cooperate with third party governments to run covert operations.
Big thanks to the media outlets for letting slip the undercover agent. You might as well have posted his address. You don't think that maybe Al-Qeada knows who was all there and could possibly figure it out? I'm sure the Saudis will have people lining up to help us after this guy gets offed.
America under Obama, we should be used to it by now.
yeah...absolute transparency ...of issues that need absolute secrecy!
LOL new intelligence is the Cia stopping themselves from killing Americans huh? Well thanks for ruinin the country.

They spare us so much!
A young lady was waiting for her flight at a big airport. As her wait would be long, she bought herself a book to pass the time, and a packet of cookies.
Then she sat down in an armchair in the VIP lounge to rest and read in peace.
Beside the armchair where the packet of cookies lay, sat a man reading a magazine.
When she took out the first cookie, the man took one also. She felt irritated but said nothing. She just thought, "What a nerve!"
For each cookie she took, the man took one. It was infuriating, but she didn't want to cause a scene.
When only one cookie remained, the man divided it into half, giving her one half.
This was too much! She took her book and her things and stormed out of the lounge to the boarding area.
It was only when she sat down in the plane that she opened her purse, and to her surprise, her unopened packet of cookies was there, where she had put it.

Franklin D. Roosevelt was right: the only thing we have to fear is … fear itself.
Many times, the worst part of a procedure is the anxiety a patient endures before even climbing into the chair. It's a problem that's preventable, and your dentist would like to help you with that right now.
If you (or someone you care about) has an appointment that's beginning to darken your thoughts, try this: First focus on the specifics of your dental fear. Is it the procedure in general, or a particular piece of equipment, or a vague sense of invasion of the privacy of your mouth? Once you've got it pinned down, talk with your dentist about it. If it's general dental anxiety, your dentist can help you feel better. If it's concern over a specific instrument or technique, often your dentist can change the way he does things.
You can help the "pre-op jitters" by avoiding stimulants (coffee, cocoa, sugar) six hours before your visit. And concentrate on breathing naturally; denying yourself oxygen increases anxiety.
Finally, there's a matter of trust. When your dentist describes a procedure, ask him to be honest. Ask him to tell you if it will be uncomfortable or stressful, if he tells you it won't be, believe him. And spare yourself the unnecessary burden of dental phobia.
It's called sedation dentistry (performed by a specially trained dentist called a sedation dentist), and it may well be the greatest advance ever made towards truly comfortable and anxiety free dentistry procedures.
For a lot of people, the unpleasantness of a dental appointment isn't so much fear as it is stress from that "in-your-face" aspect of the procedure.
We all have our own sense of personal space. And when hands and tools enter the mouth, as they must, the feeling can get downright claustrophobic. Fortunately, there's an antidote to this problem, anxiety-free dentistry!
After an initial consultation with a sedation dentist you'll take a medication just before your next visit. You'll need a friend to help transport you to and from the office safely.
When you arrive for your appointment you'll be awake, but drowsy. Most important, you'll be relaxed and anxiety free. While you're in the chair, the sedation dentist and team monitors you closely. You won't be unconscious, you'll just enjoy a soothing mental and emotional "distance" from the goings on.
Next thing you'll know, your dentist is telling you the procedure is complete and it is time to go home - thanks to anxiety-free dentistry.

Year two contrasts year one for Ventura
CHICAGO -- Following an 8-6 loss to Max Scherzer and the Tigers on Sept. 12, 2012, the White Sox still sat atop the American League Central by one game over Detroit.
Needless to say, the second year of Robin Ventura's managerial career has been quite different than the first. This 2013 September story focuses on player development, with the White Sox having been eliminated from postseason competition on Sept. 8.
"You're playing extra guys that we brought up for different reasons," Ventura said. "You want to get a look at them, maybe let some pitchers work through some things instead of taking them out. It's just different.
"There's no part of it that's easy or that this has been fun at all. It's work, and you're trying to find ways to change it. That's part of going into the offseason and seeing what we have right now until the end of the year. From that point, you start making assessments, and figuring out which way we're going and how we're going to do it."
Ventura spoke Thursday like a manager who will be at the helm in 2014, with one year remaining on his three-year deal. It's a stance Ventura has strongly espoused ever since this current version of the White Sox began to struggle.
The reshaping or retooling process under general manager Rick Hahn is pretty much at an ideas stage right now. But Ventura will be consulted as the process moves forward and Ventura feels confident that he'll be running a competitive squad.
"We're pretty confident with what we have pitching-wise and what goes into the future with that," Ventura said. "It's always communication and looking at what we had this year and what you think was going to happen and what happened, and you're going to change it.
"You learn more going through stuff like this. I don't know if it makes you better. I don't wish this on anybody, but again, in the end of it, you're better for it."
When asked about looking back on this year with a little humor when the team is successful one or two years from now, a smiling Ventura hoped for sooner than later.
"I would like to think a year from now," Ventura said. "Or six months from now."

PersonalRobin Farina grew up playing team sports, pursuing soccer, tennis, volleyball and basketball in high school. At 15 years of age, Farina tore an anterior cruciate ligament while playing soccer, which forced her to pursue cycling. Unable to quench her competitive drive elsewhere, Farina bought a hybrid bike and began riding.
She began racing mountain bikes races while living in Nashville, Tenn. She stayed on her bike, but began road racing with the Athens Twilight in 2006, but was promptly dropped. Later that year, Farina raced in the Liberty Classic in Philadelphia, where she finished 81st, but reacted as though she'd won a gold medal.
After a few years of racing, cycling became Farina's passion. She devoted herself fully to competing and in 2008, opened a bike shop in Charlotte, Uptown Cycles. Farina trains and coaches other riders out of that bike shop. Among her pupils is Addyson Albershardt, who won the junior women's 17-18 individual pursuit at the 2011 USA Cycling Junior Track National Championships in Frisco, Texas.
As a member of the NOW and Novartis for MS Women's Pro Cycling Team, Farina has become a supporter of various Bike MS rides. She rides a tandem bike 80 miles with a MS patient to show that a person with MS is not defined by having MS.
