The State of Democracy Lecture Series is a centerpiece of the Maxwell School's public event offerings. It is dedicated to providing a forum for meaningful discussions of pressing public issues—both current and long-standing—which cut across disciplinary boundaries. The series enables the intellectual exploration of real-world challenges and fosters continuing discussion and debate, which is at the heart of meaningful democratic citizenship.
We are fortunate to have one lecture per year sponsored by the Norman M. and Marsha Lee Berkman Fund. Norman M. Berkman is a graduate of Syracuse
University ('57 ) in Political Science. His wife, Marsha Lee, graduated from
Northwestern University. They firmly believe that the State of Democracy
Lecture Series that they sponsor serves as a valuable link in the political
discourse between the university and the community and fosters understanding of
significant contemporary issues.
All events begin at 4:00 in the Maxwell Auditorium and are followed by an open reception at 5:30, unless otherwise noted.

Blackmer.
In the 1970s he made a long foray into comparative local politics (Between Center and Periphery, Yale 1978), before, in the 1980s, turning to a quantitative and qualitative reconstruction of Italian protest cycle of the late 1960's and early 1970's, in Democracy and Disorder (Oxford, 1989), which received the prize for the best book in Collective Behavior and Social Movements from the American Sociological Association.
His most recent books are Transnational Protest and Global Activism (with Donatella della Porta, Rowman and Littlefield 2004), The New Transnational Activism (Cambridge 2005) and Contentious Politics(with Charles Tilly, Paradigm, 2006), Power in Movement (third edition, Cambridge, 2011), and Strangers at the Gates: States and Movements in Contentious Politics (Cambridge, 2012).
March 4, 2016Robert GrenierFrom Kandahar to Aleppo: Applying the
Lessons of Afghanistan
This lecture is made possible through a generous gift from the Norman M. and Marsha Lee Berkman fund.
A highly
decorated twenty-seven year veteran of the Central Intelligence Agency's
Clandestine Service and a renowned expert on the Middle East, South Asia, and
Counterterrorism, Mr. Grenier played a central leadership role in the greatest
national security challenges of his time.
When 9/11 struck, he was the CIA's overseas Chief of Station for
Pakistan and Afghanistan. After
preparing the original War Plan for U.S. military operations in Afghanistan,
approved by President George W. Bush on September 24, 2001, Mr. Grenier went on
to organize and direct the joint CIA/Special Forces teams which combined with Afghan
militias under Hamid Karzai and Gul Agha Shirzai to drive the Taliban and al-Qa'ida
from southern Afghanistan.
Later, as the U.S. prepared to invade Iraq, Mr.
Grenier was brought back to Washington and named CIA Iraq Mission Manager,
responsible for all CIA intelligence operations and analysis in that country,
and representing CIA in all White House policy deliberations on Iraq for a two
and a half year period.
In the final two years of his CIA career, Mr. Grenier
was Director of the CIA Counter-Terrorism Center, responsible for all CIA
counterterrorism operations around the globe.
In 2006, he retired from CIA and went into the private sector.
Earlier, Mr. Grenier was deputy National Intelligence
Officer for the Near East and South Asia, and a special assistant to the Undersecretary
of State. He conceived and organized the
CIA's Counter-Proliferation Division, serving as its first Chief of Operations.
He also headed the "Farm," CIA's basic
training facility, where he authored the Clandestine Service's Code of Ethics.
Since leaving government, Mr. Grenier has become a
recognized expert in global risk management, serving for three years as Chairman
for Global Security Consulting at Kroll, Inc.
He is currently Chairman of ERG Partners, an investment bank providing
financial advisory services for firms in the Intelligence and Security sector.
While pursuing a business career, Mr. Grenier has
appeared widely in both U.S. and international media, including many
appearances on ABC, NBC, CBS (including 60 Minutes), CNN, Fox, PBS (including
Frontline), NatGeo, History Channel, Smithsonian, NPR, BBC, VOA, CBC, Al
Jazeera English, and many others; he also has been interviewed in literally
dozens of leading print publications around the world. In addition, Mr. Grenier has been a featured
speaker in the U.S, the Middle East, and India. He has written over 90 Op-Eds for Al Jazeera
English, for whom he also has been an on-air political commentator. His book, 88
Days to Kandahar: A CIA Diary, was published by Simon and Schuster in January,
Mr. Grenier received
an AB in Philosophy from Dartmouth College, and later did graduate studies in
Foreign Affairs at the University of Virginia.
He serves on several Boards, including the CIA Officers' Memorial

duty. He is a Life Member of the Council

February 13, 2015Does Citizenship Require Sacrifice?
Almost everyone agrees that citizenship carries with it both
rights and responsibilities. But how far do the responsibilities extend? Must individuals be willing to sacrifice something important in order
to be good citizens? Does good
citizenship, rightly considered, necessarily
involve some kind of meaningful sacrifice?
Those questions are called here, among a panel of distinguished Maxwell
School faculty with a wealth of varied personal, professional, and academic
experiences related to the topic.

Democracy, Professor of Political Science

after todays pre market action we know for sure. Nice beat by MS and yet, a total pre market scam job.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
How did you like todays HFT action? LOL!!! yes HFT's are "good" for the markets right? Government says its OK so they must be good right?
What a joke.
Took out longs and shorts all on the same day. Fundamentals? Don't make me laugh......
Someone probably leaked the GDP numbers. Expect more of the same scam tomorrow.
Sentiment: Buy
How about earning manipulation......... your debt goes down and you get to count that as income? Bottom line is earnings are lower than last year and the stock is highet............ not a good formula for continued success. This will be much lower by the end of the year.
What are you talking about hfac.dave? revenue increased over last year!! Maybe it's a case of wishful thinking on your part. Good luck with that "wishful thinking" strategy.
Dave, perhaps you need to take some basic business and accounting classes to understand just HOW PROFIT is generated. Yes, as your costs go down you make more money. Yes if you generate less revenue but your costs go down you make more money. For a true sense of just where MS will be by the ned of year look at the PROJECTED FORWARD EARNINGS. MS stock price is going nowhere but UP UP UP. Please go back to buying gold.
Gotta love it eh? Short term, the HFT clowns will have their way. Long term, this stock is heading nowhere but UP. Don't let the HFT's and manipulators steal your shares.
good luck with that thesis

Friends of Finn in Action
Members of Friends of Finn raise awareness and funds to stop the puppy mill industry
Since its inception in 2010, Friends of Finn has raised more than $1.5 million for puppy mill education and awareness campaigns. The committee, which has chapters in New York City and San Francisco, has also worked with The HSUS to raise money through the annual To the Rescue! benefit and other special events.
Friends of Finn Assisting The HSUS
In 2010, Amanda Hearst visited an emergency shelter for dogs removed from a puppy mill in Mississippi. The trip marked the beginning of her involvement with the issue of puppy mills, leading to the formation of Friends of Finn. Lorenzo Borghese went undercover with an HSUS investigator in 2011 and caught sales staff at 11 New York City-area pet stores making misleading claims concerning the origin of their puppies. Hearst and Georgina Bloomberg helped care for dogs removed from a puppy mill in 2012 in Jones County, N.C. In 2013, Hearst, Breanna Schultz, Kimberly Ovitz and Lauren Grafer Schweibold accompanied The HSUS as more than 60 dogs were rescued from a breederin Sampson County, N.C. (Watch a video of that rescue below.)
Friends of Finn is also a strong supporter of our Puppy Friendly Pet Store initiative, which encourages pet stores to promote adoption instead of selling puppies.
Over the past few years, Friends of Finn has done countless projects to support the campaign to stop puppy mills, including:

Design and Evaluation of Digital Filters Applied to Loudspeaker/Room Equalization
Different methods to design digital filters aimed at equalization of loudspeaker/room responses are considered. Design of inverse filters is based on measured loudspeaker/room impulse responses combined with room and psychoacoustic knowledge. Frequency-dependent smoothing and nonlinear equalization effort were applied; and a new iterative method based on both time and frequency domain criteria is proposed.:

Ted Koland and Justin Long discuss 'Lumpy,' making films in Minnesota

When Minnesota native Ted Koland was brainstorming titles for his directorial debut, he didn't originally land on Lumpy.
"We did 'The Best Man' and all these cliché titles, but [the character] Lumpy activates every moment and every relationship in the movie. I thought I should name the movie after him," Koland says.
The film tells the story of Lumpy (Tyler Labine), who unexpectedly dies at his best friend Scott's (Justin Long) wedding. Scott and his new bride Kristin (Jess Weixler) decide to postpone their honeymoon to make funeral arrangements back in Minnesota for him. An unknown phone number in Lumpy's phone leads Scott and Kristin to Ramsey (Addison Timlin), a 15-year-old girl with a troubled home life who sheds light onto the months leading up to Lumpy's death.

Long, who was in Minnesota last weekend along with Koland and Timlin for the Twin Cities Film Fest, says that in addition to being drawn to the script, he was eager to play a role that was different from the comedic characters he has played in the past.
"The idea of losing someone that you're close to, and the idea that that might propel a story and compel a character to do whatever he does, is something I think about constantly without being
morbid. It's a struggle and a mystery that I feel very close to, for better or for worse," Long says. "Aside from that, it was a chance play someone who is a bit more straight and narrow, grounded, and not so weird and flashy. I got to play emotions that I normally don't do. The scene at the end -- I'm usually not trusted with scenes like that. I believed in the story. I thought it was really well-written, with realistic dialogue. That's usually the first thing I look for -- how comfortably the dialogue fits in your mouth. I know that might sound trite to say, but it's rare to find dialogue that feels like it flows."
For Koland, finding a balance of comedic moments and emotional moments was tricky.
"There's a version of this movie that's very sad and sort of stays in the maudlin place," Koland says. "One thing about independent films is sometimes you go to these festival movies, and they're so sad or they're so introspective that they lack entertainment. Those [comedic] moments are in the movie because they're realistic. Crazy stuff does happen even in the wake of someone's death, and you have these sort of odd things that lift spirits."
Born and raised in Minnesota, Koland says he wrote about his home state because "you write
what you know" and he always wanted to film Lumpy here.

"I don't think Minnesota has the appreciation it deserves for how beautiful Minneapolis and St. Paul are," Koland says. "Living in L.A. and going back and forth to New York, you always hear the Midwest referred to as 'the flyover states.' I personally get so insulted when that happens, not just because I'm from here, but because there's so much good stuff here."
Because Koland was familiar with the local theater scene, casting Lumpy was easy, and he was able to call out Minnesota actors by name that he wanted in the film.
"I promised the producers that I would find all the roles here in the Twin Cities, except for five or six, and they said it was impossible. I said, 'You don't understand. I was born and raised here and I saw theater at the Illusion, the Jeune Lune, the Guthrie my whole life. It was hugely gratifying to come back and showcase this amazing talent that inspired me to be a filmmaker," Koland says.
Long says that he enjoyed spending time in Minnesota.
"I loved it here. I'm so glad they filmed it here. I really responded to the script, and it was a part I wanted to play, but a huge added bonus was that I knew it was going to shoot in a place that I'd never been to but had always been curious about," Long says. "It did not disappoint at all. We had the best time here. There was always stuff to do and we were always really stimulated. We found great restaurants. I love eating, and this is a really great city for that. I love friendly people, and it's also a great city for that. We saw a Twins game, we went to great bars, we found some really good areas and met a lot of good people. Even if it had been a crappy movie I would have had a great experience. Fortunately, it turned out to be really good, so it was the best of both worlds."
Lumpy closed out the Twin Cities Film Fest on Saturday with two sold-out two showings. Jatin Setia, executive director of the festival, says he was thrilled to showcase the film.
"When I watched Lumpy, I fell in love with the production quality. The acting was phenomenal,
and the directing was out of this world," Setia says. "It's was almost a perfect storm for us. The film was made here in Minnesota, the actors Justin Long and Addison Timlin did an amazing job, the production was that of a major Hollywood film -- even though it was an independent film -- and the director is a Minnesota native, which topped it off for us."
Prior to the Twin Cities Film Fest, Lumpy premiered at the Hamptons International Film Festival where the film was very well received as well.
"It's so gratifying to move people," Koland says. "The whole reason I became a filmmaker was to tell stories. I'm a St. Olaf English major, so when you see that you've moved people or made people think about something, that's the joy of it."
Lumpy opens in theaters in 2013.

It doesn't show what you bought.
"It's all toys for the love." Nice.
I find the Home and Garden Show much more interesting...
Until I have myself a sex robot, adult entertainment technology will remain the same as it has for years. Nothing new under the unflattering fluorescent porn-shop lights.
Holy shit! Attractive people at the Adult Entertainment Convention. The last guy with the British accent - don't know if I'm interested in his product, but I think I could be convinced to buy him if he were for sale.
If only the technology were advanced enough to make bacon covered sex robots.
Come on, No. 3, can't you see the giant stone dildo fountain in the reflecting pool of your formal garden?
Nope. Too difficult to keep the neighbors from sitting on it.
I'd only fuck a robot if it looked like C3-PO.
I would have let Ash from Alien fuck me.
We are spreading love. Look at the Thighmaster!
This was epic. I don't know about the urethra thing though. That word scares me, urethra.
Mr. Poe: What about Bishop from Alien II?
Gross. Hell no.
It's Aliens, you uncultured swine.
What Greg said.
Cool. I learned something new. I learned that people actually shove steel rods into their urethra. I think I'd rather vote Bush into a third term before I'd be willing to stuff a steel rod into my urethra, but whatever turns your crank, I suppose.
I did find it a little odd that some people obviously assumed you were straight, Dan, and that the dildo-like toys would only be used by women. You'd think that anyone who has spent more than a half hour in a sex-toy shop would know that probably half the dildos are sold to gay men.
I'm kind of fascinated (not that fascinated) by the thing that looks like a giant black rocket propelled grenade.
It's a sex toy!
It's a weapon of mass destruction!
It's a sex toy and a weapon of mass destruction!
Can you imagine if a gym had yoga balls like that, and the thigh master sex toy? I'll bet more people would go to the gym, which might help the rate of obesity in America go down! We need stuff like that in our gyms....for the good of the country, of course!
I kinda feel sorry for straight guys. Many of the dildos are gorgeous (especially the stone and steel ones). Like little sculptures; you just want to touch them. But I've never seen a fake pussy that wasn't gross.
@20 They'd have to use gallons of bleach every day, or better yet just sell everybody their own personal equipment.
@21 Sleeves can't really be made out of steel or stone, obviously. That leaves various kinds of rubber. On the bright side, most guys aren't as concerned with look as much as feel.
Urethral sounds were called sounds because they were originally used to open up the urethra of men and women. Before antibiotics, contracting a venereal disease often lead to scarring of the urethral tract, which could cause painful strictures.The sounds were used to gently stretch open these strictures. The process was called sounding, so named because you were "sounding the depths".
@11, 12, 13 Are "replicants" robots? Only eight years and one month to wait I'd marry Rachel (Huckabee didn't say anything about robots did he?) and If I had to die, having Pris break my neck with her thighs would be how I'd want to go.
I was surprised that the majority of people interviewed seemed to be of non-US ancestry, judging by their voices/appearances. Is that typical, or is the video skewed?
DAN, when speaking with the stone dick guys, you said "toxins in silicone" products and stuff like that.
I think that silicone, glass, stone, steel, etc were all the preferred materials for sex toys because they do NOT have/leach toxins.
The problem materials are the ones like some jelly rubbers, etc that have phalates and other toxins, which silicone doesn't have...am I right?
Just trying to clear silicone's rep.

SFBIArtisan 1, Day 1
One year ago David Snyder began his Day 1 blog entry with "Wow! There is no possible way to descirbe today in full..." and I agree! Reading David's blogs and looking at David's photos of his own breads convinced me that I would benefit from this class...so.. one year later I am taking my turn at the SFBI experience. David wrote a great summary last year and I will refer you to his blog for what is almost certainly a more thorough coverage of the class than I will provide. But I will stive to explore what I find most insightful and different from David.
Our day began with the students gathering to meet each other and enjoy a light breakfast of poppy seed scones, dried fig and almond scones, and an apple tart with coffee. The breakfast clearly demonstrated that the staff and students are talented bakers!
Our instructor for this class is Mac McClelland. Mac brings an interesting background to baking - having worked as a mechanical engineer for Caterpillar before his love of baking led him to take classes and then the full SFBI curriculum and become a baker. As in David's class Michel Suas warmly welcomed us to the school. As in David's class about half of the day was spent in lecture format and about half in the lab with Mac demonstrating and us copying him in dividing and shaping dough and loaves.
For me the "commercial" equipment was an interesting experience. Fifty pound spiral mixers, automatic loaders and five deck ovens were unknown territory and thus exciting. The real highlight though was handling dough at the "short mix" stage (five minutes at speed 1 on the two speed spiral) and "improved mix" stage (an additional five minutes at speed 2). A window pane of the short mix dough was ragged with thin and thick spots. And the dougth was still somewhat sticky. The improved mix gave a window pane that was about half thin and half thicker and was quite a bit tougher and less vulnerable to tearing. The improved mix dough was also less sticky - with the water more incorporated into the flour. It was these hands on, tactile experiences that were my motivation for coming to SFBI.
There were no surprises for me in the fermenting/proofing/shaping/scoring discussions. The techniques taught are quite familiar. I did, somehow, manage to bring more technique to my baguettes than I routinely achieve and the results were, to me quite pleasing. Photos of my baguettes are below. I feel obligated to point out that I shaped all the loaves but the rear one was inadvertently slashed by one of my classmates!
Like David, I found it wonderful to be able to make full length baguettes!
Tomorrow we will make 15 baguettes from three doughs - short mix, improved mix, and intense mix.
This will be a good week!

Seems pretty easy to me. The Brits did it.
Oh come on, Annie. Everybody knows that Sarah is a bitch.
Annie, I hear you, BELIEVE ME, I hear ya, but ... we can't afford this war. That's the beginning and the end. We have to pull out and sooner rather than later because we just can't afford to pay for it.
I think we should offer amnesty to basically any Iraqi who wants it, and then get the hell out of there. Is the country going to explode into civil war? Yes. Is it our fault? Yes. Is there anything we can do at this point? In my opinion, unless we're prepared to stay there for the next 100 years, a la McCain ... not so much.
But if you have some ideas for how we can afford to keep paying for the war, I would sincerely love to hear them.
But, Annie, since exactly zero of the developmental conditions for moving forward have been met, in Basra or in Baghdad, what reason is there to think that the violence wouldn't happen anyways? The fake "surge" accomplished nothing but stasis, but NOTHING is actually happening politically in Iraq. Unless you foresee a hundred-year occupation like McCain, we're going to have to let go sometime; and whether it's tomorrow or 99 years from now, the result is going to be exactly the same.
And in the meantime, the war is destroying the United States economy, exactly as bin Laden dreamed. We can't go on; it's killing us, quite apart from anything happening to our soldiers. Seriously, the Iraq War = Global Depression.
The Brits were realists, that's all.
@3 and @4 win, even if @4 isn't 100 percent correct.
The argument in favor of staying seems to be based on the (demonstrably false) idea that keeping our troops there will make things better when--by every conceivable measure--the Iraqis are far worse off than before our invasion.
But don't worry, it's painfully obvious that we're gonna be staying no matter what happens, even though this illegal, evil war/occupation has dragged our country into a moral abyss that we won't be crawling out of in our lifetimes.
And FSM help us, the Iraq news is going to be the same next year, and the year after that, and five years from now.
P.S. Someone once wrote that lefty war supporters are liberal fascists, and they're so wrong:
War/occupation supporters are actually neo-colonial imperialists, just fyi.
@6: I was against the invasion. It is demonstrably true that Iraqis were better off with a stable though oppressive government; it does not follow that they will be better off when we leave them without a stable or oppressive government.
Leave now and let them get on with their business. At this point, the future of Iraq should be decided by Iraqis and no one else, for better or for worse. If we owe them anything, it's an end to our occupation of their country.
Well, by that logic we oughta dig in for John McCain's 100(0) year war. Fuck that.
Hint - there was violence when we left Vietnam, too. They seem largely to have gotten over that now, which would never have occurred if we were still occupying them.
Stupid, stupid, stupid.
Annie @ 7,
That's based on the idea that we're even capable of helping them form a stable government, which clearly we're not. In contrast to the propaganda, that's not even one of our real goals.
And Al-Maliki is nothing more than Mayor of the Green Zone.
So many legislators have quit the Iraqi parliament that they can't even hold a quorum to pass legislation which is why Al-Maliki's cabinet has been unilaterally negotiating deals--like recently giving away the country's oil to the international oil companies for free as well as indefinitely extending the occupation--without the ratification of the parliament.
These actions are unconstitutional and illegal under Iraqi law, so either their current government is corrupt and dysfunctional or their constitution is an even bigger sham than ours.
Regardless, keeping our soldiers there to prop up a puppet government just isn't gonna help.
@7: the past is past. Saddam ain't coming back. What they have NOW is not provably better than what they would have if we left. Fewer people dying, yes, maybe, but the stasis we have "achieved" is gaining them nothing in the long run. Zero progress on infrastructure (reversal, actually); zero progress on settling the Kurdish oil question; zero progress on building a polity; zero progress on ANYTHING AT ALL.
Iraq is broken. I think it needs to break apart. We can't do that for them. Many people will die. Yes, it's our fault.
I seriously doubt it was free. I'm sure al Maliki and his cabinet members were paid very handsomely.
Au contraire, Annie. This is not random violence that could be avoided with a greater US/British presence. This is violence caused by the US presence. This is a battle between the two leading Shia parties. One controls the government, the other controls Basra, where the Brits were never really in charge, btw. The government is launching a military invasion of Basra.
The US is siding with the government, and providing aerial support for their military campaign.
If the US wasnt in Iraq, the Iraqi government wouldnt dare attack Basra, because they dont have enough power without US support. They would have to acknowledge the facts on the ground and negotiate with the other leading Shia party in a power-sharing agreement.
At this point we need to have a sit down with al-Sadr. He is running the show. He was responsible for the violence drop and he is (or part of his crew splintering off) is responsible for the raise in violent attacks. It didn't have to be like this, but we decided to cross Sistani and allow Chalabi and al-Maliki (basically outsiders) to turn the Interior Ministry into their own little army that keeps all money sent to Iraq and kill anybody that tries to talk about it.
How many times do I have to say it? Fuck the Iraqis. Yes, we got them into this mess, but until they show the political will to get the fuck out of it, it won't get better, and right now, they seem more than content to fight for power. So let them. Get our troops, our money, and our effort out of there, and let them fight it out til someone wins. It's not like there isn't precedent.
We allowed over a hundred coups in South Vietnam and let the Vietnamese fill the power vacuum until the North came in and ended it altogether.
We pulled Marines out of Lebanon after a mere 300 died and let that civil war fester for more than a decade.
We pulled out of Somalia and that civil war is still in progress, except in the relatively stable Puntland and Somaliland regions.
So, already we've said fuck the Vietnamese, fuck the Lebanese, and fuck the Somalis. And I say good. Now let's say fuck the Iraqis, and be prepared to recognize al-Sadr as soon as he wins. Hell, once we pull out, let's give him guns. That way, once he does win, he'll like us better.
Oh great!
The military just dropped charges against another Marine in the Haditha massacre.
The youngest victim of our troops "help" that day was a one year old baby who they shot at point blank range, by the way.
Welcome to Iraq where you can murder all the brown people you want.
Troops out now! (Gee, that was easy.) The only alternative is eternal occupation. Say it with me now, Annie: "Eternal occupation! Huzzah!"
Hell, once we pull out, let's give him guns. That way, once he does win, he'll like us better.
Yeah, because that worked so well with al Qaeda and the Taliban.
I say we stick with it another five years until the South Vietnamese Army is trained ... Vietnamization will work!
Exporting democracy may be hard, exporting political will is impossible.
It's our fault, but it's their country.
Our charging around pointing guns at people, no matter what pretty stories we tell ourselves, tends to be perceived as us telling people what to do to get what we want. Not that we want anything in Basra. Other than it being an important city near the Gulf (tankers meet pipeines) or perhaps useful for a port/logistics base during the invasion of Iran.

February 18, 2014 by Kyle Wood
Anyone that has spent time as a professional angler will quickly realize that fishing at the highest level comes with its ups and downs. Scott Suggs has been down that road from winning the 2007 Forrest Wood Cup - and a $1 million dollar payday - to logging finishes in the 100s. After failing to qualify for the Cup last year, Suggs is back on pace to make it back to the biggest stage in bass fishing.
"Winning the Cup in my third year as a pro was unbelievable," said the Bryant, Ark., native. "Sure, the money was a big thing, but the fact that I won at that level against the best in the world means more than anything to me. It was a big deal and to make history when I did it was pretty sweet."
Since that fruitful victory, the Folgers pro - now in his 10th season - has qualified for the Cup just three times. Knowing he needed to make a change to start this season, Suggs decided to try and knock the rust off over the winter.
"I have been in kind of a dry spell," said Suggs. "It hasn't been awful but it's something I'm not used to. I knew I needed to do something different before Okeechobee (the first FLW Tour event) so I entered some local tournaments to get back out bass fishing. I fished a little before the season started in 2012 and I made the Cup. Last year I was too focused on crappies over the winter and didn't really bass fish. I fished several local tournaments this year, won a few, and it really got me looking forward to Okeechobee.
"When I got to Florida I noticed that I was really paying attention to what was going on out on the water for the first day of practice (on the Big O). There were about 20 other boats in the same area and everyone - including myself - was throwing some type of moving bait. After not getting bit or seeing anyone catch one I just put my Talons down and started pitching. I caught a limit pretty quick and was able to do that sit in that area for the tournament to catch what I did."
Suggs' increased confidence before kicking the season off led to him capturing his highest finish - 15th place - in recent years from the Big O. His refreshed attitude has him ready to tackle anything the Tour can throw at him this year.
"I have gone into some tournaments before with a bad attitude and that leads to a bad practice and bad tournament. This year, whatever happens, happens. I'm just going to get after it."
The true test to this mindset will be stop No. 2 of the FLW Tour on Lake Hartwell in just a few weeks. In his last two visits to Hartwell Suggs has placed 103rd (2011) and 105th (2012). Despite his shaky record in Tour visits there, Suggs is keeping a positive and open mind this time around.
"I have had a lot of success in that part of the country but something about that lake (Hartwell) gets me. I have let each of those finishes from the previous tournaments get to my head. I'm going to take a different approach this year and try to change some things.
"I made an adjustment on day two of each of the last stops to Hartwell that produced better stringers for me. I want to try some new things in practice that I haven't done before on the lake. There is an area I plan on not even touching during practice. I'll just save it for the tournament. It is where I have done well in the past out there and caught those better bags. If I just fished that spot I could probably get a top-50 finish, but I plan on looking higher than that."
If Suggs can break the curse of Hartwell this season he will be looking good in terms of making it to the Cup on Lake Murray. The remainder of the schedule sets up well for the Arkansas native, though there is one event he isn't looking forward to.
"It may sound kind of surprising but I'd say Kentucky Lake is the one event I am not too excited for. I usually like any lake I get to go fishing on but that lake gets so dang crowded on those ledge drops at times. I never have liked fishing in a crowd and that is probably my biggest downfall.
"I'm just excited to have the season back under way. I feel good and I'm ready to make it back to the Cup."

Nerd Alert! This post contains some wonky shit. Be advised.
We've broken down the latest Lauderdale Lakes agenda … here's our report.
Agenda Item 9E-
Hidden in this item we see City Manager :JA: playing his usual tricks.
- All they have done in Stormwater is Master Planning- no real work. You know ADA Engineering, Manny Diez and company.
- City received Stormwater grant for over $1 million- spent almost $700k on planning with only $361k left for actual capital projects? We know that because there has been no capital projects done in Stormwater- ask the residents – (see recent article in Help Me Howard).
- Agenda item says there is a fund balance of $980k in Stormwater, with only $161k available for projects?
- What gives here- Stormwater should be all capital projects. General Fund borrowing the cash again?
- Agenda item also mentions "recapitalizing" Stormwater- we all know what that means- jacking up rate by 160% for no projects.
- And let us not forget- Stormwater received loan from SunTrust for capital projects that it is now paying debt on- where is that $1.5M? We do not see that disclosed here. We do not see those capital projects- again ask the residents.
Agenda Item 9F-
It is great that the City received grant for $1.57M for additional firefighters for two years. However it is never adequately disclosed that the City must keep these firefighters on after the grant ends at the City's expense.
Allen does a very weak job of disclosing this.
Ask to see the grant agreement- find out that the City commits to keeping these firefighters on at the City's expense. Demand the real story.
Also ask to see who is making the grant match for this grant (grant does not pay 100%).We know, it is the Fire Fund with it's $1.7M deficit and fees over the legal limit.
Agenda Item 9G-
Audit of the Financial Statements
This stink bomb is back. And notice again where are statements at for public and residents review. Nowhere to be found.
Rumor has it that the Commission was advised Friday night that they could pick them up at City Hall. Does any of them think that is adequate time to review? Same old Allen, :RH:, :EH: talk fast and shuffle the deck.
There has to be a reason why the public can't see these. More of the same crap from the 2011 financial statements that MAOS found and alerted the State about?


text:
Weeks before Candace Parker initiated her run at a sequel national title with Tennessee and Maya Moore began to soar through the NCAA tournament with Connecticut, a friend of mine asked which of the rising young stars I thought would be better in the long run. Perhaps biased by familiarity, I didn't hesitate. Maya Moore, I told my friend, would emerge as the transcendent player of the next generation of women hoopers.
After watching Parker not only shoulder a huge burden of the second of back-to-back championships for the Lady Vols, but shoulder it on a bad shoulder, do I still believe this? Yes, because my friend's question was who would be the better player over time. If she'd asked who would be the bigger star, my answer likely would have been different.
The question regains its relevance as the nation's girls high school players gear up for the first NCAA evaluation period of the season this weekend. College coaches will be on the lookout for both types of players of course. But they will, in a few ways, be looking a little more for the Maya Moore model.
Moore is very much the genteel Georgian -- almost stoic on the floor and full of "sirs" and "ma'ams" off. She busts her butt on every play, even plays most players believe are over. She hustles to help an opponent off the floor, even those she may have committed there. She is gracious and elegant and without question a team-first player.
Parker is a lot of those things, too, though there is a bit of cruise to her game at times. Like Moore she will play with flair and emotion, but she takes those two elements to a different extreme. Parker sometimes is prone to preening and jersey popping -- a level of look-at-me omnipresent in the male version of the game but one just creeping into the girl's side.
I don't know Candace Parker the way I know Maya Moore, but perception is everything. When I see taunting and tongue wagging, I see the same things college coaches do at an evaluation event -- a reason to wonder if, in a hammer-down-the-nail-that-sticks-out world, this particular player will stir the team chemistry the right way. Or just stir.
Before anyone makes this out to be a UConn vs.Tennessee thing, I must repeat, this is a perception thing. Parker is the NBT (Next Big Thang) in women's basketball because, in addition to being otherworldly talented, she is demonstrative and loquacious. Those things will be used to sell products because, let's face it, men still are the majority of the decision-makers in the business and marketing worlds.
But the qualities that may sell say a Big Mac don't necessarily earn girls high school basketball players a scholarship offer. It's better to nail down the scholly first, then establish one's personality and Q-quotient.
That said, Moore could play aw-shucks Larry Bird to Parker's Showtime Magic Johnson. And that ain't bad, because Bird also raked in endorsements in addition to title rings.
Again, from the perspective of perspective, the way Moore plays -- all out -- is a better selling point for those in the market for a college career. Combine a work ethic with athleticism and you have a combination coaches will buy into every time.
To wit, the summer after her sophomore year in high school, we thought Maya Moore to be a long, highly athletic and extremely hard-working player. Back then, we viewed her not as a shooter but as a scorer who, with elite-level type of focus, could will her body to make shots when they were most needed. A couple weeks ago, analysts accurately were gushing over Moore's classic jump-shooting form -- a rarity, still, for girls and women. With hard work, she'd taken athletic ability and turned it into a skill.
The very same analysts, probably correctly, explained away Parker's apparent cruising by saying she was preternaturally smooth in the way she moved and played. Again, the perception thing. See the same thing in an as-yet unknown player, and you don't have ESPN analysts around to explain why that player doesn't appear to be playing as hard as others.
As for the original question of who eventually will be a better player, the game has not seen the likes of either. Parker does the things she does at 6-foot-4 for goshsakes. But Moore is a better shooter from range and a better ball handler -- two characteristics that will make her far more difficult to scheme for defensively than a player, albeit one who can play away from the basket, who is most dangerous in the paint.
Add to that Moore's lockdown ability as a defender, in combination with her length and quickness off the floor as a shot-blocker, plus her never-quit approach.
Forced to choose between the two, I'd just hope for one thing -- that I was the U.S. Olympic coach and could choose them both.

One of the best books of its kind. Totally worth the money. The author is an establishes authority on economics and presents so many otherwise difficult to understand concepts of economics in a very easy to understand story-like manner. The book would certainly help the beginners understand the subject and its basic principles and those who already understand the subject, would make them all the more curious and help them understand answers to many questions they might have had, specially in the light of changing global economic scene. It doesn't surprise me that it could sell so many copies worldwide, this is one of the best books I have read on the subject.
I totally enjoyed the book, learnt a lot and definitely recommend it to all others, no matter how much you already know about economics!!!
A well researched and well represented account of the manipulative political and economic influence that Dhirubhai and Reliance yielded in India in 70s and 80s and in fact till now.
The book talks about the role of several corrupt practices that led to Reliance becoming the behemoth it has become and the nexus between the businesses and politics in India.
The book details the crony capitalism unleashed by Indira Gandhi and followed by the later generations of the Gandhi family and Congress party.
A must read for every Indian!
The concept of "The Fortune At The Bottom of The Pyramid" has been around for some time and though it was first given by Dr. C.K. Prahlad, it has been worked upon and further refined and adopted by several others. It is now a part of Strategy Management courses in most Business Schools around the world and has been successfully incorporated by various organizations. Though he pioneered this concept through this book, the book is very archaic now. Definitely not an interesting read. Most of the things are well known now. At this price, I definitely do not recommend it. If you really want to know about BOP approach, better watch some related videos at youtube or some slideshow at slideshare or documents at scribd.... just google and you will get enough material.
This books brings to fore a new way of thinking about poverty. Rather than professing theoretical stuff, the book presents the results and interpretation of the experimental evidence found by the authors. The authors describe why micro-credit may not be the panache that it is made out to be or why poor make choices that sometimes seem to be grossly idiotic to us and yet make perfect sense to them and how policy makers, without understanding the psychology of the poor, end up drawing plans that, despite their well intentions, do more harm than good. Good read for anybody interested in understanding the root cause of poverty and ideal poverty alleviation policy measures.
The book describes the strategies and principles used by the world's biggest car manufacturer to reach the position it has acquired today.
Toyota was the company that gave the world "Lean Manufacturing" concept which helped it make highest quality cars at lowest prices and thus beat GM on their home turf.
The book describes how Toyota achieved the "lean Manufacturing" and other unique aspects of production, supply chain and human resource management used by Toyota (and then by several other Japanese firms).\
Though Toyota is a car maker, the management principles described are equally applicable to all kinds of businesses whether in manufacturing or services sector.
A must read for all entrepreneurs and managers.
One of the best books on Global Economics that I have read in recent times. The author is has been associated with the IMF and has been an economic advisor to US and the Indian Govt. His experience clearly shows in the way he explains otherwise complicated things in a very easy to understand manner. Especially recommended if you want to understand the basic reasons for the economic crisis of 2008 and why the recovery from this recession has taken unusually long and what implications it might have in the long run.
Kudos to the author, the book is worth every penny!!!
The essays are outdated and does not make any sense to read them now as the results of policies that these essays try to argue upon have already been experienced.
Not worth your money. Same goes for all other similar books by Bimal Jalan.
The book hardly has anything that a 10th grade student having studied history would not know. Moreover, the author has presented everything in a manner that glorifies British imperialism. The dark acts of British governments the world over have not been emphasized much and definitely not criticized (On the other hand, the author doesn't fail to take potshots on other imperial powers). This is one of the most biased books on history I have come across. The author is himself an Englishman and is nothing more than a Chauvinist. He even points that Imperialism brings order and thus necessary and towards the end makes a point that American Empire has "failed" just because it renounces Imperialism and thus fears to pursue it. He also says that there will always be (Imperialism) Empires and what Britain did best to carry what it believed was the White Man's Burden and it brought modern governance to the colonies!!! I am so shocked, how can an author of such high stature be such a racist scum-shit!!!
Paul Krugman is a Nobel Laureate and needless to say this book is a masterpiece. If you have even the slightest of interest in Economics or any curiosity to know what leads to an economic crisis, how to detect it, how it can be handled or what the consequences can be, this is the perfect book for you.
It discusses in detail but with a very simple language, the various economic crisis from the Great Depression to Latin American Crisis of 80s, Japanese Economic Crisis of 90s, the Thai (or Asian) Crisis of '97 and American Crisis of 2008. The author takes great care to bring out the policy failures that led to each of these crises, the factors that exacerbated them and the response they initiated and how they could have been handled better, the learning that resulted and the impact they made.
A very interesting read with easy to follow, practical analogies to illustrate the concepts involved and a thought provoking description of events laid out in a very logical fashion.
Overall a great value of money! A must-read, I should say! Whole-heartedly recommended! If you had to read just one book to understand everything about economic crises, this would be it!

DRIPPING SPRINGS (June 27, 2014) Dane Andrew Thyssen, 39, and Jenifer Elise Thyssen, 40, were in the Hays County Jail Friday charged with kidnapping after police say they kept their adopted son locked in a garage apartment for at least four years, giving him a box of food periodically and allowing him to leave once a week.
An arrest warrant affidavit says the apartment behind the couple's home in Dripping Springs was locked from the outside.
The two told police their son, Koystya Thyssen, 22, was locked inside to protect other children, the affidavit said.
Police began investigating after Koystya Thyssen was arrested in connection with a break-in at a neighbor's home.
Authorities say he used a screwdriver he took from his father to escape from the locked apartment.
He was jailed Friday on a burglary charge.

MAINEVILLE, Ohio -- Bob Gilder is perfect in playoffs.
He's 4-0 after making a 2-foot birdie putt on the second extra
hole Sunday to beat Tom Jenkins and win the Kroger Senior Classic.
''I really don't know what I'm feeling. I'm in a daze,'' Gilder
said. ''I'm pretty worn out mentally.''
The win gave Gilder consecutive victories for the second time
this year. He won playoffs in the SBC Senior Open and FleetBoston
Classic in July, and won the Allianz Championship in Iowa last
''I've probably played this well, but I've never had this kind
of success,'' said Gilder, a six-time winner in two senior seasons
after also winning six times on the PGA Tour. ''Life is really
pretty good right now.''
Jenkins had 10 birdies in a course-record, 10-under 62 and was
the leader in the clubhouse at 16 under. Gilder closed with a 69,
tying Jenkins with a birdie on the par-4 17th.
''I asked my caddie at 17 if I was tied or one behind,'' Gilder
said. ''He said, 'We're one behind, we need a birdie.' I said,
'Let's get it here.'''
That was good because his birdie try at 18 curled around the cup
and left him tied with Jenkins with a three-round total of 200 at
the 7,145-yard TPC at River's Bend.
Hale Irwin shot a 64 and finished third at 9-under 201. Tom Kite
and Bruce Lietzke, who matched the course record with a 62, tied
for fourth at 203.
Jenkins started the day at 6 under, tied for 16th.
''I missed an 8-footer at No. 1 and said, 'Here we go again,'''
Jenkins said. ''I made a birdie at No. 4 and thought, 'Well,
maybe.' Then I got it going at No. 6.''
From there, Jenkins made four consecutive birdies to make the
turn at 31, and added five more birdies on the back nine.
''The adrenaline started going after the birdie at 14,'' Jenkins
said. ''I made a good par at 16 and then made birdie at 17, but
still didn't know where I stood. I had a good chance for eagle at
18. I had a chance to win.''
But his 45-foot eagle putt narrowly missed.
''To shoot 62 ... how can you complain?'' Jenkins said. ''But it
is disappointing to get this close and lose.''
Gilder and Jenkins parred the first playoff hole, the par-5
18th. At the par-4 10th, Gilder hit his second shot to 2 feet, and
Jenkins hit his approach to 10 feet.
Jenkins' birdie try slid a foot past the hole, and Gilder rolled
in his birdie putt for his fourth win in eight weeks.
It was the second consecutive Kroger playoff loss for Jenkins,
who lost to Jim Thorpe on the first playoff hole last year.
Gilder, who played bogey-free golf through the first two rounds,
bogeyed the third hole Sunday after 51 holes of par or better.
''I'm hitting my irons superb. They're going at the hole. And my
putting is there,'' Gilder said. ''I'm in a zone. I'm thinking
right down the middle and the flag stick every hole.''
Still, the win surprised Gilder.
''I didn't think a (final round) 69 would get me in a playoff,''
Gilder said. ''I thought I'd have to go lower.''
Gilder's win was worth $225,000. He's second to Irwin on the
senior money list and in the Charles Schwab Cup points race.
Irwin has 19 top-10 finishes and 12 top-three finishes this

TULSA, Okla. (AP) - U.S. Attorney David O'Melia of Tulsa is hospitalized at an undisclosed location with a "serious" illness he contracted while traveling.
Spokesman Randal Edgmon with the U.S. Attorney's Office in Tulsa says he can't disclose where the 57-year-old O'Melia is hospitalized to protect the family's privacy.
Edgmon also declined to reveal the nature of O'Melia's illness but says it is not swine flu and that O'Melia has not been to Mexico where the disease is blamed for more than 150 deaths.
Edgmon says O'Melia is expected to return to work when he recovers but that there is no timetable for his return.
O'Melia has been U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of

Delucchi, Rachele; Cangemi, Francesco; Loporcaro, Michele (2012). Sociolinguistic interpretation needs geography (and dialectology): final unstressed vowels in some southern Campanian dialects. In: Calamai, Silvia; Celata, Chiara; Ciucci, Luca. Sociophonetics, at the crossroads of speech variation, processing and communication. Pisa: Edizioni della Normale, 13-16.
Full text not available from this repository.
Some dialects of Vallo di Diano, in southern Campania (Italy), display variation in final unstressed position between four full final vowels -[i e a o] and a single centralized final vowel -[ə]. In this paper we will discuss experimental data from three varieties of that area, those of Polla, S. Pietro al Tanagro and Sanza, and argue that variation in the quality of final unstressed vowels is best interpreted in terms of an interaction between a basilectal, Tuscan-like final vowel system -/i e a o/ and the Neapolitan-based koine variety in which all final unstressed vowels merged to -/ə/. The choice of this interpretation over conceivable alternatives, as we will show, is favoured by a combination of system-internal reconstructive considerations, cross-dialectal comparisons, and evaluation of the sociolinguistic and geolinguistic dynamics of the area.

To the Editor
—The report by Werner in the November Archives (1980; 139:1313-1315) concerning Graves' disease after subacute thyroiditis points out the utility of needle aspiration or biopsy in assessing thyroid disease.1 The eminent author rejected hemorrhage into an adenoma as the diagnosis. The data, including normal ESR, normal uptake, normal thyroxine and triiodothyronine values, cold area on scan, and negative antibodies, all favor hemorrhage into an adenoma over subacute thyroiditis. In numerous similar cases seen at the Cleveland Clinic, needle aspiration has confirmed a diagnosis of hemorrhage into an adenoma.Since the diagnosis is not clearly established by the data, needle biopsy or aspiration would have been helpful.In most patients with pain, aspiration of hemorrhagic contents results in prompt relief of pain. After aspiration of 5 to 20 mL of blood, the remaining palpable tissue may be small. Thus, Dr Werner's argument that a rim of tissue

Athens and Shibboleth are access management services that provide single sign-on to protected resources. They replace the multiple user names and passwords necessary to access subscription-based content with a single user name and password that can be entered once per session. It operates independently of a user's location or IP address. If your institution uses Athens or Shibboleth authentication, please contact your site administrator to receive your user name and password.
