Paul Bernardo Police Interview (June 2007)
Karla Homolka's ex-husband, convicted serial rapist and murderer Paul Bernardo sat down for an interview with Toronto Police Services Sex Crimes Unit in June, 2007.
The purpose of the interview was to shed light a number of unsolved crimes that took place during the time Bernardo was operating as the Scarborough Rapist. In particular, the police were hoping to extract some information on the disappearance of Elizabeth Bain (Bernardo denies any involvement).
The interview offers a rare glimpse into the fractured mind of a Dangerous Offender:

Please forgive my ignorance to this case at this time. I just recently found out about this. I'm where all of you were years ago. I'm trying to read up what I can without asking a million questions.ReplyDelete
I'm confused about the comment that he made saying, "We did Tammy up in July." What is he referring to? I thought this took place for the first time on Christmas eve.Replies
No need to apologize -- questions are good :)Delete
There is reason to believe that the Christmas Eve attack on Tammy wasn't the first time that she was assaulted by Bernardo, and this is what he is referring to in the statement you quoted. On one occasion, friends of Tammy's who visited the Homolka home complained that their drinks tasted "funny."
If it's true that Tammy had been been assaulted prior to the Christmas Eve incident, than it casts a shadow over Karla's testimony that she did what Paul asked her because it would just be a "one time thing" and would shut Paul up. If the night she died wasn't the first time, Karla damn well knew that giving in to him wouldn't make him stop, it only made things worse.
IMHO, I don't think Tammy's death was accidental at all. I think Karla was violently jealous of her sister, and saw to it that Tammy didn't live to see another day.

Thank you! Im glad you are willing to help me understand this. I first saw this movie on lifetime network. I had watched "Karla" and another show. I did some research on that, and found it was based on true life events, learning that it had been changed a bit for dramatic purposes. That led me to look into the "karla movie that I had watched. I found that the movie was a full true story. FOund your blog, and well, here I am :)Delete
I am reading up on here today. I can't get all the way through the fireside chat transcript at this time. I get nauseous at a certain point and move on to something else.
I understand a bit more now why people think she is as guilty as Bernardo. I've been going back and forth.
How do you think the situation as it's depicted in the movie "Karla" compares to what you've read about the crimes? I'd be interested to hear your thoughts, as you came in fresh, without any prior knowledge of the case.Delete

Hello Miss Kitty. As your question didn't receive a reply I will answer it from my point of view.Delete
I thought the movie Karla was almost a defence for her. Making her out to be a victim like the murdered girls. It sickened me.
I truly believed she killed all three girls. She lied through her back teeth about everything. And she literally got away with murder.
i have been researching this case periodically for many years now, i have come to believe though bernardo is responsible for the rapes i beileve that Homolka is more in the wrong. Bernardo had raped 19 women before meeting Homolka and never once murdered one. some were hurt but they survived. I think that bernardo needed these girls like a crack addict needs their crack. Karla on the other hand encouraged him to torture these young women and all 3 murders happended after they were together which leaves me to believe what happened?ReplyDelete
i think although Homolka claims she was okay with him and these younger women she was not actually. I think that she was jealous of the attention he would give them so she encouraged him to torture them.
Bernardo would take long drives and take hours and sometimes days to scope out the women he wanted to have, and after he would always keep something of theirs. at one point he kept a box of cereal because Tammy ate out of it.
He was emotionally attached to these women.
going back to Karla, at one point they were talking about her sister and she said " although Tammy dying is sad, it is not emotionally devistating". Bernardo claims thats why he had beat her so badly in 1993 because it was " fucked up" the way she was thinking. If what she said was true than this proves alot more to her. If she is fine that she murdered her own sister and Bernardo is devistated over it than how do you think she would be with killing a stranger.

It's Pro-Farmer's Budget- Kishor Tiwari
Nagpur-29 Feb.2016
" For the first time in NDA Govt., has brought hope and cheer for all the farmers across the country as it covers the core issues of agrarian crisis and hostile rural economy related farm credit , irrigation facility,health security,restoration of sustainable agriculture, food crop promotion , E-marketing and intervention with price stabilization fund ,food security,crop insurance ,rural employment under MNREGA and Mudra scheme , LPG and road connectivity ,thin is right move to address the present agrarian crisis and stop farmer suicide but more sensitivity and proper implementation is need of the hour ", Said Kishore Tiwari, President of Late Vansantrao Naik Sheti Swavalamban Mission (VNSSM), a Govt Maharashtra's Special Task Force for Farmers in 14 Distressed Distt of Vidarbha & Marathwada in Maharashtra State reacting on budget 20016
the budget of 2016 For the first time, a record farm credit allocation has been made of Rs. 9.35 lakh crore in fact It has quadrupled since 2013. Finance Minister introduced special 0.5% Agricultural Welfare Tax to be collected thru Service Tax. Its welcome move, much needed for welfare farmers, , but this amount of Special Tax must be made available to Farmers Distress Proven Areas in India specially like Vidarbha & Marathwada where maximum no of unfortunate incidence of farmers suicides have been occurred, to provide direct help to Govt of Maharashtra to give helping hand to Farmers in Real Distress. So this Special Agro Welfare Tax of 0.5% must be spent for Distressed Areas instead of General Pool, as it has been specifically added due to our VNSSM demands", Tiwari added.
Mr. Tiwari welcomed Central Govt for not announcing any Big unwanted, Mindless & BOT Mega Project to please big corporate, further demanded that Union Govt while amending MNREGA Act must provide to allow States to give direct benefits to Farmers such as 100% grants for digging wells & small water ponds under MNREGA in Rain Fed Areas like Vidarbha & Marathwada.
" Agro Priority Sector Lending enhanced to Rs.9.35 Lacs Crores to be made directly available to Farmers, instead of Agro Processing Sector, virtually turning to NPAs. There should be separation of Direct & Indirect segments in Agro sectors so that Farmers can be benefited directly & can get Credits from Nationalized Banks in Public Sectors instead of Cooperative Bank. Similarly, Food Security schemes tobe strengthen to give direct benefits to families in distress regardless of Agro holding", Tiwari demanded.
we are pleased to know that the budget aims to double the farmer's income by 2022 with ehlp of a dedicated Irrigation fund worth Rs.20000 crores to be set up under NABARD and bringing .5 lakh acres to be brought under organic farming over three year period ,implementation of 89 irrigation projects will be fast-tracked,.Rs.35984 crores is the total allocation for farmer's welfare.this shows the priority of the government is to provide additional resource to the rural areas,TIwari said .
we welcome the move to give extension of credit to very marginal segment of farmers with Kisan Credit Cards (KCCs) has the benefit of interest subvention scheme prolonged for further period of up to six months (post-harvest) against Negotiable Warehouse Receipts (NWRs), at the same rate as available to crop loan. This is done to dampen the agonizing sale of crops by small farmers, provision of Rs.15000 crores towards interest subvention to reduce burden of loan repayment has been made ,Tiwari said
Government has earmarked Rs 86,500 crore for irrigation under the Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sichaai Yojana. Total allocation for agriculture for the coming fiscal is to be Rs 35,984 crore. Further the government has said that 89 irrigation projects are to be fast tracked by the on a priority. Out of this 30 projects are to be completed by 2017. Tiwari said that the focus on irrigation, MNREGA, crop insurance was important. now babus should convert it in to reality ,TIwari added.

A child's funeral in Gaza
Dec. 10 - Dozens attend funeral procession for 9-year-old Palestinian boy killed in Israeli air strike. Deborah Lutterbeck reports.
Dozens attend a funeral procession in Gaza City Saturday for a 9-year-old boy who died after a pre-dawn Israeli airstrike on an alleged Hamas training camp. The latest fighting erupted Thursday when an airstrike on a car killed two militants, one of them from Gaza's governing Islamist group Hamas. Hamas has accused Israel of a "massacre". Hamas spurns peacemaking with the Jewish state but has in the past proposed truces as it sought to consolidate control over Gaza and negotiate power-sharing with the rival Fatah faction of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.

Dominating the gallery is our largest object, the former Great Western Railway locomotive No. 1442 a.k.a. The Tivvy Bumper.
The Exe Valley line closed in October 1963, but the 'Bumper' line from Tiverton Station to Tiverton Junction continued until 5 October 1964 and freight continued until 5 June 1967.
Loco 1442 moved to Exeter from Oxford, and after the branch closure it was used temporarily on the Yeovil and Seaton branch trains before withdrawal in May 1965. Loco 1442 was then bought by Viscount Amory. After 1442 had been bought and undergone some restoration, the engine worked a train of invited "guest passengers" to Tiverton - which was the last passenger train to Tiverton at the original station in October 1965.
There are three others of this type at work in Britain, but being static, this is the only one which is easily accessible to members of the public, both young and old!
Surrounding the locomotive is a large display of railway memorabilia. Most of it is local and covers every aspect of the railways except rolling stock. Complementing the transport theme are sections on the Grand Western Canal and road transport.
The main features of the latter display are an old turnpike gate and a Mini. Bicycles, an early petrol pump and a display about the local origins of the rubber cycle patch can also be found in this gallery.

After selling a majority stake in his Miami bank, Leonard Abess Jr. took $60 million of the proceeds — $60 million out of his own pocket — and gave it to his tellers, bookkeepers, clerks, everyone on the payroll.
All 399 workers on the staff received bonuses, and he even tracked down 72 former employees so they could share in the windfall. For longtime employees, the bonus — based on years of service — amounted to tens of thousands of dollars, and in some cases, more than $100,000. Longtime workers' jaws dropped when they opened the envelopes…

The Economics of Discrimination
University of Chicago Press, Aug 15, 2010 - Business & Economics - 178 pages
This second edition of Gary S. Becker's The Economics of Discrimination has been expanded to include three further discussions of the problem and an entirely new introduction which considers the contributions made by others in recent years and some of the more important problems remaining.
Mr. Becker's work confronts the economic effects of discrimination in the market place because of race, religion, sex, color, social class, personality, or other non-pecuniary considerations. He demonstrates that discrimination in the market place by any group reduces their own real incomes as well as those of the minority.
The original edition of The Economics of Discrimination was warmly received by economists, sociologists, and psychologists alike for focusing the discerning eye of economic analysis upon a vital social problem—discrimination in the market place.
"This is an unusual book; not only is it filled with ingenious theorizing but the implications of the theory are boldly confronted with facts. . . . The intimate relation of the theory and observation has resulted in a book of great vitality on a subject whose interest and importance are obvious."—M.W. Reder, American Economic Review
"The author's solution to the problem of measuring the motive behind actual discrimination is something of a tour de force. . . . Sociologists in the field of race relations will wish to read this book."—Karl Schuessler, American Sociological Review

Popular passages
Page 14 - taste for discrimination,' he must act as //he were willing to pay something either directly or in the form of a reduced income, to be associated with some persons instead of others. When actual discrimination occurs, he must, in fact, either pay or forfeit income for this privilege. This simple way of looking at the matter gets at the essence of prejudice and discrimination...
Page 13 - For example, discrimination and prejudice are not usually said to occur when someone prefers looking at a glamorous Hollywood actress rather than at some other woman; yet they are said to occur when he prefers living next to whites rather than next to Negroes. At best calling just one of these actions "discrimination" requires making subtle and rather secondary distinctions.
Page 13 - Ethnic prejudice is an antipathy based upon a faulty and inflexible generalization. It may be felt or expressed. It may be directed toward a group as a whole, or toward an individual because he is a member of that group.
Page 21 - Saenger, a psychologist, said: "Discriminatory practices appear to be of definite advantage for the representatives of management in a competitive economic system" (The Social Psychology of Prejudice [New York: Harper & Bros., 1953], p. 96). Allport, another psychologist, likewise said: "We conclude, therefore, that the Marxist theory of prejudice is far too simple, even though it points a sure finger at one of the factors involved in prejudice, viz., rationalized selfinterest of the upper classes"...
Page 21 - A' are reduced by discrimination, all factors are not affected in the same way: the return to W capital and N labor decreases, but the return to W labor and N capital actually increases. There is a remarkable agreement in the literature on the proposition that capitalists from the dominant group are the major beneficiaries of prejudice and discrimination in a competitive capitalistic economic system.4 If W is considered to represent whites or some other dominant group, the fallacious nature of this...

Hello and welcome. I am Beverley B. Conrad, Ph.D. a clinical psychologist (PSY 16896) in Burlingame, CA. I focus on the treatment of adults (18 years of age and older) and have a special interest in couple/marriage counseling.
By reading my website, you will glean a sense of who I am and what I do. There is a plethora of practicing mental health clinicians in San Mateo County and finding the right psychologist or psychotherapist or counselor may be daunting and confusing.
After reading about my services, you are invited to contact me by telephone so that we may determine if I can be helpful to you. If not, I will be happy to assist you by suggesting other excellent clinicians.
In general, I take a pragmatic and focused approach to personal problems and explore them in an atmosphere of warmth, safety and humor. I strongly believe that we have an equal relationship and that the work of psychotherapy/counseling is collaborative.
I tailor my style to the person/people and psychological issues at hand. Some clients/patients solely need to be heard and the simple qualities of empathy and understanding are tantamount before achieving insight. In other instances a more active style on my part, peppered with knowledge, skills and/or advice, is welcomed.
Much of the work of psychotherapy or counseling is shortened by openness and vulnerability. To this end, I provide an atmosphere of hospitality and shelter for you to explore your feelings, perceptions and experiences.
The majority of my patients live on the peninsula in San Mateo County including Millbrae, Burlingame, Hillsborough, San Mateo and Belmont. Residents of San Francisco and Santa Clara Counties also find me centrally located and near the Burlingame Train Station.

Preventing Split Ends
Split ends, scientifically known as Trichoptilosis, happen when the hair's protective cuticle has been stripped away from the ends, causing a splitting of the hair shaft that gives it a feathery appearance. Trims, excessive brushing, heat, elastic bands, hair extensions, towel drying, and even dry scalp, are all causes of split ends. There is no "cure" for split ends, the only way to get rid of them is to cut them off.
The ends of your hair are very important. Dry, split ends cause breakage, while moisturized ends are more pliable and retain length. Some people shy away from trimming their ends because they do not want to lose length. But keep in mind that split ends cause the hair to split all the way up to the scalp, which will result in you having to get a major cut. Split ends should be cut at least 1 inch above the split.
Another good way to prevent split ends, along with moisturizing, is the adding of "dusting" of your ends to your hair routine. I would describe dusting as cutting off less than an inch of your ends. When your ends start to feel crunchy, or you hear popping when you detangle, or start to see tiny hairs in the sink that are not old shedded hairs (with white bulbs at the tips), these are signs that you may need to "dust" your ends. The easiest way to trim/dust your own ends is when your hair is in box braids or twists. Simply cut a little (about a half inch or less) off the ends of each twist or braid.
To keep a regular schedule of trimming/dusting, some people follow lunar cycles. They cut on certain days of the week to lengthen, strengthen or thicken hair. There are also certain days of the week within each season designated for cuts. I can not testify as to the results, but it is a good way to keep a hair trimming routine, thereby preventing split ends. Check out Morrocco Method International's downloadable lunar haircutting chart .
To protect your ends, get in the routine of moisturizing them during the week. Use oils such as shea butter, castor oil, olive oil or almond oil to protect your ends. Conditioning after shampooing (rinse with cool water to close your hair cuticle), detangling with conditioner, and adding a monthly deep conditioner to your hair care routine also help prevent split ends—as well as avoiding heat, air drying whenever possible, and keeping your hair moisturized. Wearing "protective" styles, such as braids, cornrows, or twists, are also helpful in protecting your ends.
For those with longer hair, in colder seasons protect your ends by wearing silk or satin scarves around your shoulders to keep your ends from rubbing against wool coats and cotton sweaters, or wear protective styles like updos or buns. Make sure that the hats you wear have a silk or satin lining or wear a silk/satin scarf underneath them. Cotton absorbs moisture and also snags your hair, therefore, at night use a silk/satin scarf, bonnet or pillow case.

to About Us
Internal Medicine has been an Iowa City fixture since its predecessor
practice was founded in 1955 by Dr. Chris Schrock and Dr. George
Anderson. As their practice grew, new partners were added and more
space was needed. In 1968, a new building was erected in a development
business district on the east side of Iowa City. This new business
district became known as the Towncrest area of Iowa City. In 2015
Towncrest Internal Medicine became part of Mercy Clinics.
office is open daily, Monday through Friday. We accept patients 16
years of age and older. We accept Medicare, Medicaid and most other
insurance companies.
Our practitioners are
dedicated to performing equally accurate diagnostic services today as
they were yesterday, which is why our specialists maintain up-to-date
knowledge with vigorous continuing education in areas including:
An internist, in the role of diagnostician, compiles a comprehensive "case file" on each patient. This thorough file details the present symptoms and the patient's history of physical and emotional difficulties.
The mark of a competent internist is thoroughness. This approach requires a meticulous compilation and study of the patient's medical history. Our internists are dedicated to taking as much time as they deem necessary to accurately complete a case study.
As a historian often predicts crises through knowledge of the past, an internist will diagnose an illness from a patient's medical history and symptoms.

As crisis deepens in Egypt, U.S. 'can't dictate events'
Thursday, February 3, 2011
The Obama administration faced a rapidly deteriorating situation in Egypt on Wednesday, with few good options to influence the course of events.
While administration officials continued to put their faith in the Egyptian military to reestablish calm, they said Wednesday that it would probably be counterproductive for the army to intervene directly in pitched battles that broke out after forces supporting President Hosni Mubarak attacked protesters in Cairo's Tahrir Square.
The army's apparent efforts to keep the two groups apart was probably the best of a list of bad alternatives, according to several senior administration officials. They said they wanted to see the Egyptian military preserve its stature so it can serve as guarantor of an interim government.
Officials also voiced concern that what one called "this pillar of stability" could split into factions opposing and supporting the embattled Mubarak.
"The way the military conducts itself over the coming days is going to be critical in determining whether this situation can be brought under control," said one of several officials who spoke of the tense situation on the condition of anonymity. "There is a concern that if the army starts getting into internal security, the situation could deteriorate further."
A day after Mubarak rejected President Obama's call to begin a transition to a representative government "now" rather than later, top U.S. national security officials placed a series of calls to Cairo to drive home that point. As they have since last weekend, when administration policy shifted away from hoping that Mubarak could make some reforms and ride out the storm, the officials pressed Obama's message: The government must cede to the protesters' demands for change and invite them to help establish a transition process, which would either lead to Mubarak's resignation or sideline him.
With no indication that this is taking place, and protesters refusing to yield in their insistence that Mubarak leave office immediately, officials said the next 24 to 48 hours would be crucial in determining whether there is any hope of a peaceful resolution of the crisis. They said they expected opposition demonstrators to return to the streets in force on Friday, the Muslim holy day, if not before.
"We can't dictate events, we can't prescribe what's going to happen," another senior official said. "Every day that goes by that there is not an indication that a transition has begun, we risk the kind of events we saw today."
The Pentagon has begun planning for possible evacuation of large numbers of U.S. citizens and to study its options in case a humanitarian crisis develops in Egypt. But Pentagon officials said that so far, no U.S. military assets have been moved into the area.
Concern was also growing about possible interference in traffic along the Suez Canal, through which much of the West's imported oil travels. Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, had his second conversation this week with Lt. Gen. Sami Enan, the Egyptian military's chief of staff, and Mullen spokesman Capt. John Kirby said the chairman "expressed confidence in the Egyptian military's ability to provide for their country's security, both internally and throughout the Suez Canal area."
Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates also spoke to his Egyptian counterpart, and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton spoke to Omar Suleiman, the intelligence chief Mubarak named as vice president last weekend. Suleiman has been authorized to open discussions with opposition leaders, although none are known to have taken place.
U.S. diplomats in Cairo have met with a number of opposition and civil society leaders, administration officials said, although they declined to provide names beyond Mohamed ElBaradei, named by dissident groups to speak for them. They said there had been no talks with the Muslim Brotherhood, although they repeated earlier statements that the Islamic group represented a significant portion of Egyptians and should be part of the process as long as it supported democratic and nonviolent aims.
Meanwhile, former U.S. diplomat Frank G. Wisner, the administration's special envoy for the crisis, left Cairo for Washington.
Administration officials watched the violence unfolding in Cairo on live television along with much of the rest of the world. "A lot of this is totally out of our control," White House Chief of Staff William M. Daley told reporters at a breakfast organized by Bloomberg News. "There's a lack at times of real information, and you've got lots of rumors."
An interagency group of senior officials met at midday at the White House to coordinate the U.S. response, and Obama was briefed throughout the day.
At both the Pentagon and the State Department, officials were examining the tangled web of $1.5 billion in U.S. assistance programs in Egypt, looking for discrete points of leverage that could be used to influence events on the ground, although officials said they were far from any decision to cut off any part of the aid.
"We will evaluate the actions of the government of Egypt in making and reviewing decisions about aid," said White House press secretary Robert Gibbs. As recently as Sunday, Clinton had said an aid cutoff was not under discussion.
One senior official said that the ongoing conversations with Egyptian officials conveyed "where the United States is in this process, and where we're going to be. . . . We are a very important relationship to them."
The U.S. response, he said, "will be events-driven. We will have to be evaluating things based on how" the government responds.
Americans noted in their calls to Egyptian counterparts that the question of aid was not entirely in the hands of the administration. "One part of the situation here is, given the nature of our democracy, events have a way of influencing [Congress] and the American public about how they feel about a relationship," the official said.
"We're not the only voice here. Violence is not going to be an acceptable way to have a transition. That's kind of the bottom line."
As if to emphasize the point, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), issued a call for Mubarak to "step down and relinquish power." McCain, who met with Obama Wednesday, urged Mubarak to "transfer power to a caretaker administration that includes members of Egypt's military, government, civil society, and pro-democracy opposition," leading to "free, fair and internationally credible elections this year."
Staff writers Greg Jaffe, Anne E. Kornblut, and Joby Warrick contributed to this report.

Tank War! Wittmann Strikes! Bolt Action Battle Report
Wittman costs a whopping 519 points in the Bolt Action Tank War supplement. However he does have a few perks for the price. Wittmann comes with the special rule "Fierce Ambush" which allows him to fire his main gun twice from ambush. He also has four Skills: Lucky, Hair Trigger, Eye for Terrain and Battle Awareness. Lucky allows him to cancel an enemy damage roll against him. Hair Trigger allows him to shoot after a run move. Eye for Terrain lets him go hidden after a move as long as he is at least 12 inches away from any enemy units and in cover. And Battle Awareness allows him to reposition his vehicle within 12 inches after everyone has deployed .
The three M4A1 Sherman Tanks are regular at 195 each which gives the US total 585 points. A slight advantage?
"All right platoon split up!!" bellowed Archie from the command tank. "Charlie take the center through town, Bo break left. I'll take the right side of town. Keep your eyes open, there may be krauts out there."
Wittman briefly surveyed the town below his position and watched the US forces break formation. He calmly stated "Bobby, prepare to fire, lead tank, on mine." The round was loaded and ready and there was only a brief pause as Wittmann waited for the Sherman to make a turn exposing its flank.
"Fire." It was as if the command and firing were simultaneous. Woll had been with Wittman for quite a while and they had developed into a synchronicity.
Charlies lead Sherman erupted in a large explosion as the Tiger's round ripped into it.
"Archie! What the heck was that!" screamed Bo, "Charlies out of action!"
Bo quickly surveys the field seeing nothing. "Could be an 88 hidden out there! Could be armor too!"
"Move out" Wittman calls, "Make for the hedgerow." The Tiger begins its ponderous advance. (Using his Eye for Terrain, Wittman goes hidden in the near hedgerow)
"Bo, use the cover of the buildings, see if you can spot anything," Charlie called out. "I'll swing around and try to get across the stream to flank him."
"You got it sarge" Bo replied, easing his tank around the outskirts of the hamlet. "Be ready on that trigger Stan"
Wittmann heard the loud clang as the Shermans shot bounced off the armor and he brought his turret to bear.
"Shoot the thing Archie!! For the love of God shoot it!!" Bo exclaimed as the Tiger turned toward him. Archie's Sherman cleared the last building and as he moved to the stream he fired on the run. The shot sailed just over the front of the German Tiger.
Wittmann barely began the order as his gunner BalthasarWoll fired on the second Sherman, hitting it and sending flames erupting from the doomed vehicle. Archie cursed and moved across the stream in an attempt to flank the German armor. Pausing briefly in the cover of a nearby cottage he prepared his crew.
Wittman again moved his Tiger into the nearby foliage and prepared an ambush.
Wittmann watched as the final Sherman moved out of cover and turned toward him. One more shot and it was over.
Wittman's point value seemed to pay off royally. Although he didn't need to even use all his special abilities. Didn't even get to fire twice from ambush as hi first shot destroyed each Sherman and the others were in cover each time. The dice worked in Wittmans favor too. Three rolls that all hit, three rolls that all penetrated and three destroyed enemy tanks.
We have a couple other tank battles to come! Stay tuned!
Have A Great Battle,
The Old Crow

Here's the June 2015 backgrounder; and here's today's denouement of that story, and a bit:
. . . .A spokesperson for the company confirmed something that is already posted to the US public clinical trials registry.
"Merck has decided to stop further clinical development of MK-6018 (CM-24). In the initial Phase 1 dose-ranging study, no efficacy signals were detected. The decision to discontinue further development is not due to any known safety risks."
And there goes a deal completed with a $95 million upfront and $510 million in milestones that won't get paid. . . .
UPDATED: 3 PM EDT -- just as I repeatedly said, OrangeCare is DOA. Even though the GOP clearly controls both chambers, and the Oval Office, they couldn't even get it to the starting line -- let alone finish it. And whether I disagree with its goals or not is of no moment, at the moment. What it points up, clearly, is that Mr. Trump has no ability to parse details, in anyone's positions.
In short, he is unfit to govern, since he doesn't even understand (or care to discern) which ones might be the right questions to ask. Mr. Ryan bears responsibility here too -- but it is hilarious that Mr. Trump is blaming Democrats for the defeat of his ill-starred OrangeCare lunacy. He won in a sweep, in November -- and as the ides of March arrive -- he cannot even get his own party to agree on what they ran on. Hilarious -- but this has nothing to do with Democrats, or even to do with ObamaCare. . . it is an epic internal failure of the GOP. After all, the ACA of 2010 passed without a single GOP vote. So 45 looks foolish, again. [I might look for a renewed effort in 2018, after the mid-terms. End, updated portion.]
Moving on, then -- getting out, for a long garden lunch, on a flawless 80 degree Friday. . . . yep. I'm out. Be excellent to someone who may not. . . deserve it.

This week, I'm in Reno, Nevada for VentureBeat's Blueprint conference, where we've gathered more than 300 entrepreneurs, investors, and economic development officials to talk about the challenges and opportunities facing tech companies that have set up shop outside of Silicon Valley.
One of the most common sentiments I've heard from panelists and attendees is that while the benefits of building a startup in second- or third-tier markets aren't always widely touted, these regions offer some powerful advantages over the Bay Area. And interest in exploring lesser-known markets is only growing.
Eventbrite SVP of platform Patrick Poels said that his company's turnover rate in its Nashville engineering office — which opened in 2014 — is statistically close to zero. For many companies in the Bay Area, the turnover rate is 25 percent.
David Garcia, director of a technology incubator in San Antonio called Geekdom, acknowledges that his city probably won't produce the next big tech giant. But it's home to thriving back-end companies that he says build the "plumbing" of the internet — which he sees as a powerful opportunity for the city.
Silicon Valley's reign may not be over, though the idea was explored in a recent New York Times article, but there are signs that the area doesn't hold the same allure — especially for recent graduates — as it used to. Tiffany Apczynski, VP of public policy at Zendesk, said that employees are moving from the company's Madison office to its San Francisco office — but not permanently. Instead, they are taking a sabbatical similar to a "study abroad semester" because they want the experience of living in the Bay Area — without paying exorbitant rent prices for the rest of their life.
As always, thanks for reading, and check out the rest of our content from the Blueprint conference below.

The release of the Chilcot report is so soon after the Brexit vote that I can't help comparing the two.
And I know this is strange but I notice several surprisingly close resemblances between the Brexit vote and the decisions (both of the UK and the US) to invade Iraq:
- Both were genuinely dramatic actions that were to be taken without much of a plan for what would come next.
- Both were misinformed by false information. For example, there were campaign claims that Brexit would lead to a flood of money for the National Health Service and that the EU is on the verge of admitting a bunch of Muslim-majority countries. Of course, the decision to invade Iraq was greased by the false claim that Iraq had (and was developing more) Weapons of Mass Destruction.
- Both decisions were widely opposed in Europe but masses of people in the US and UK assumed that these Europeans are idiots. (Of course, on the US side this is mostly true of the invasion decision, not Brexit which wasn't much of a concern in the US.)
I wonder if readers have further thoughts on this. I find this subject interesting although I'm not sure that it has any practical significance.

Through out my life there have been things I have "known" without a reasonable explanation.... yesterday was one of those days ... It was Feb. 1, 2017 and the event happened the day before.
Obit here: CLICK HERE
So I was sitting having dinner in my local favorite restaurant when I read the news. I immediately "knew" what had happened. I have this thing...its a gift , its a curse.... its part of who I am... I have premonitions ...or deja vu or what ever you want to call it. She had taken her own life ..... I knew this ...I didn't need to hear or read that information.... I just "knew."
I said it out loud.
You know that 6th or 7th degree of separation didn't even touch it. I knew her from classmates, friends (old and new), her employment contacts, her social contacts and ...and ....and... the list goes on and on.
She was my FB friend on my old account. The one that no longer exists for those that don't know me well or know how to spell my legal name. Those that friended me because they either thought they knew me or friended me for random reasons. She was one of those people.
I met her at a couple of parties. We had a few mutual friends. My real life interaction with her was limited, but ... important, she actually paid my tab for my birthday one year, with a nod of the head and a raise of her glass... not really knowing me but of me... grabbing that moment to make a mark on my life... one that would never be "dismissed."
Social Media... where we see things in "real time." I saw her life, her spirit , her angst. I knew of her and her adventures, loves, and lifes lessons through the lens she wanted me and everyone else to see. She lived her life WIDE OPEN , like myself...no one to compete with, no one to have to pretend to be and nothing to hide.
I had my own opinions of Donna.... My own opinions didn't come from the tales that people spread with their wild tongues that couldn't be kept under control. My opinion came from who she "told me she was" through her own words and photographs, the ones she chose to represent herself, as that is how we want people to define us, isn't it? Through the lens in which we provide - the rose colored one... and not the lens that is polarized and smokey grey. This person, Donna... lived a very different life from me, but we ran in the same circles from time to time and are very much the same in some subtle ways.
|Donna & Karen
Donna loved hard when she loved. She proved that. She fought hard and she proved that too.
We all say things. We say "if I were in XYZ situation I would handle it ABC way." We know what we would do, or we say we do. I do it all of the time. If this "certain thing" happened to me I would react a "certain way."
Suicide. I have always had my opinion about this since the first one I knew of personally years ago, a casualty of bullying at a very young age of 14. I grew to accept "certain" suicides , like the ones Dr. Kevorkian did for mercy. I have grown to respect the states that allow individuals to use / choose suicide as an option for chronic illnesses , the terminal ones. I have had a very close friend's death labeled "suicide" when in my heart I didn't think and still cannot accept that was in fact "true." I had a former friend that always touted loudly that suicide was purely a"selfish act" and in my younger years I believed her and thought that way too. Today ... not so much.... the selfish acts are often from those that are left behind, that push the envelope , that cannot hold their wild thoughts and tongues.
Well, last year , I had an argument a "typing argument" via social media.... about a friend of her's that used Suicide to escape some legal charges. I "knew" how I would feel, I knew how she "should feel" and I knew how the person felt ... I knew everything ..I was staunch in my "side" of the story that had me reeling in PTSD and Trust issues, my own personal angst infiltrated the entire situation. I have thought of this conversation many times and wish it "never happened." ... it taught me a lot ... a HUGE lot ... and I got a BRAND NEW lens that focused and showed me a different person than the one I had conjured up in my mind. It was a clear lens, a macro lens that showed all the pores, sores and warts of being human.
YESTERDAY this situation came up again. A person, a human being, with the spirit that I recognize well.... this person that grabbed life and loved hard...that didn't love her back much. This beautiful disaster, that no matter what path she took, the road was always bumpy and the consequences seemed extra hard. The lens of "invincibility" was hers that she showed the world - in the end the real lens was beautiful like a kaleidoscope , broken shards of life shattered ...all around her.... and she couldn't step without being cut deeper than she could bare.
I want to say personally that I had a thought in mind, before her tragic end, of what SHOULD HAPPEN, that I should "feel" a certain way in all of the news, rumors and pm's that came forth. Nothing was further from the truth. I am sad. I am angry. I understand. I am confused. I feel a jumbled gargle of emotions for everyone involved. I am the girl with kaleidoscope eyes...
The sadness I feel for her, for them, for the others, for all of us is insurmountable ... I read it. I read it out loud. "dismissed." EVERYTHING is "dismissed." My heart cried, tears welled up in my eyes and chill bumps ran across my body like a feverish rage. I have nothing to say to make it better for anyone. I cannot accept "dismissed" for her , her family , the other family.... for me or for no one else...
|A mug shot....no filter ...no lens...
FOR ALL......from her friends to her friends... to read

Project Overview
Our client had recently moved into a penthouse apartment in a converted warehouse in the Notting Hill area of London.
The apartment had been renovated around eight years previously during which it was fitted with a KNX lighting control system. Unfortunately many of the light switches had been abused over the lifetime of the system and by the time our client moved in, were unreliable.
When Baulogic were called in to survey the system and make recommendations for improvements, we discovered that the owners were not in possession of the master ETS project file, so it was necessary to re-engineer the control system from scratch.
Scene-based Lighting
Having reconstructed the control program and installed replacement light switches throughout the property, we succeeded in getting the system to operate reliably - and the new owners can finally enjoy the scene-based lighting control system in their contemporary loft-style apartment.

Get Schooled About School (And Teachers)
* Teachers are a loud, peace-disturbing group... when they get a call through their "snow chain" informing them they have the day off. Especially when it happens the night before. And especially when it happens on a Friday or a Monday. (But really, they'll take one in the middle of the week and be giddy about it, too.)
* Teachers don't get three months off anymore. The norm now is June (or most of it) and July. This is not vacation time. It's a mental health break--a time when they can check into a rehab facility. So, if you want to have your carotid artery yanked out of your neck, say to a teacher, "You have three months off every summer. What a lucky duck you are!"
* Schools are not good places to find a mate. At the elementary level, there are few men and even so, as Carson McCullers said, "A good man is hard to find." If you're hunting for a husband/boyfriend, work at one of those big box places giving away bacon...
* Horrible sounds emanate from school buildings. Have you ever heard 25 students--at one time--at their first recorder lesson? The noises that come from those recorders as the kids torture those instruments... it makes me shudder just thinking about it.
* Teachers are easy. All it takes is the rumor that there's a half-empty box of stale Krispy Kreme doughnuts in the teachers lounge, and a dangerous stampede occurs.
* Teachers--at least elementary school teachers--get excited about crazy things. A nice long pencil (one that still has an eraser) that's been swept up by the custodian and is sitting amidst a pile of dust and paper scraps in the hall. A free pen from an insurance rep. Post-its that are stolen from the school vault.
What kind of sinister things can you share about yourself or your job? Shuddering Sioux wants to know...

All of those are so true! The only thing I can add is that teachers have no fashion sense. Oh, I see young ones starting out looking adorable, but they soon succumb to hairstyles that can be achieved in a rearview mirror at 6 AM and shoes they can stand to walk in all day without wanting to hurt someone.ReplyDelete
A school building in summer is host to a den of thieves. Anything not nailed down or marked with a Sharpie is fair game. Don't think your comfortable rolly chair is going to be there eagerly awaiting your butt in August. You will have to enlist co-workers with whom you have formed an uneasy truce to accompany you on a room-to-room search.ReplyDelete
Much like cigarettes in correctional facilities, doorstops are the currency of educational institutions.
Oh when someone slipped out of that supply room, I made a beeline and slipped in...then escaped with exactly what I needed. My way was more efficient than waiting for a requisition order to be filled. Beg for forgiveness, not permission. I learned that from our school board prez who was a preacher, who got caught cheating on his wife.ReplyDelete
Nothing. How boring is that? I do sales for my hubby's business sometimes, reluctantly, and that word alone---sales---is enough to make me shiver & cringe. Aside from that, I do medical transcription which is sometimes boring (urology is like a recurring nightmare) and often depressing, as with oncology---I spend a lot of time sending prayers out to the Universe for the people I'm typing reports on. There are thousands of strangers who have been prayed for by a total stranger and they'll never know it. lolReplyDelete
Lisa--I had no idea your plate was that full. You have time to do that work AND get a trio of soon-to-be-released romance novels published?ReplyDelete
Wow! I bow down to you.Replies
Haha - mostly I'm a mess trying to squeeze everything in. Like now. It's 2:00 Sat. afternoon, I've been up since six working on first round edits for the first book in the series, and I'm still in my PJs. At this point, why bother getting dressed at all? Shoot, it'll be dinnertime in three hours. I'm a smelly, smelly writer. (I guess maybe that's the true confession you were looking for.)Delete
I thought about a job I used to have where the company (small, about 10 employees) kept a kitchen full of snacks. I was addicted to the BBQ potato chips, but after my daughter was born I was dieting to lose that last 10 pounds (she's 20, I never lost it). My friend used to wait until about 3 pm every afternoon and she'd come to my desk with a bowl FULL of those potato chips. The evil wench. I couldn't stay out of them. Chips are still my downfall.
My sinister co-workers bring me illegible programming design diagrams that I have to turn into flowcharts. The only thing I know about Java is that it smells better than it tastes. I am not a programmer. When combined with accents I can't understand and the inevitable deadline of "TODAY" (when they hand me the papers at 4:30 PM), it makes me a crabby tech writer. I am not paid for overtime, and am not supposed to work the sweatshop hours they work. At 5:00 PM, I should be headed for the parking lot, my work day completed.ReplyDelete
One more comment. Daniel has wondered what you teachers do in the lounge - so much so that one night, he walked in his sleep and told me "The teachers are in the lounge. I bet they're hopped up on caffeine." With that, he turned around and headed back to bed.ReplyDeleteReplies
Kim--There is no way I could do your job. Any kind of computer-ese is a foreign language to me.Delete
As far as Daniel's curiosity...Since we can't keep a blender (of margaritas) going in the lounge and since we can't smoke anything, caffeine is the only monkey left to keep on our back... along with sugar.
Mostly in the lounge there's fast gobbling down of food (because we have less than 30 minutes to eat and go to the bathroom) and lots of venting. (However, I have my 3rd graders convinced that through a secret door, there is an underground pool for the teachers. They're waaay jealous.)
Sioux, Way to go on the myth of the teachers' pool. Let them believe you are the magical elite, worth their bribes and respect. The minute they find out you're underpaid, underappreciated grunts, they'll walk all over you. If your hair is messy and your shoes are on the feet, let them think it's because you had to hurry to dry off and redress.ReplyDelete
That should have read, if your shoes are on the wrong feet. And don't say, "But these are the only feet I have." haReplyDelete

TiVo Twists AT&T's Arm, Gets It To Cough Up $215 Million Patent Settlement
If TiVo is in the news in these days of its irrelevance, it's usually because it's won another massive settlement dispute with a company it accused of ripping off its tech. After getting $500 million from Dish Network last year, TiVo has now shaken down AT&T for $215 million.
Engadget reports AT&T cut a patent licensing deal with TiVo that gives it $215 million at a minimum through 2018, with more fees possible if AT&T can draw more U-verse DVR customers. In return, TiVo will drop its legal offensive. In a statement, a TiVo exec says the company will use the money to innovate its products and services.
Since TiVo played such a large part in early adopters' DVR lives, it's nice to see the company get what seems to be a fair shake from companies who may have emulated its innovation a tad too closely. It's tough to imagine TiVo retaking control of the market it once owned, but at least it has a fighting chance.

Gaining weight is the result of two primary factors — eating too many calories and not exercising enough to burn them off. However, other factors can contribute to your being overweight or obese, conditions that affect 68 percent of Americans as of 2010, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. One contributing factor researchers have investigated is genetic makeup. As a result, several companies have begun providing tests designed to increase weight-loss success.
Companies promoting genetic testing for weight loss focus on the role of genes in weight gain, according to MayoClinic.com. The tests provide genetic information about metabolism and fat absorption, which can then be used to generate a genetic profile. Companies claim that this genotype can then help to determine which diet would be most effective for you.
A test marketed by Interleukin Genetics asks you to swab the inside of your cheek to collect DNA. Scientists at a laboratory then look for single nucleotide polymorphisms, or SNPs, in four different genes to create a weight-management profile. Single nucleotide polymorphisms are the most common type of genetic variation among people, according to the National Institutes of Health. Each SNP signifies a difference in a single DNA building block known as a nucleotide.
While genetic testing is no one-stop solution for gaining weight, research into the genetic test for weight loss marketed by Interleukin Genetics found that it might be useful. In a study conducted by Stanford University researchers, participants who were on genotype-appropriate diets shed 5.3 percent of their body weight. However, those who were on diets not matched to their genotype lost only 2.3 percent of their body weight.
Genotype and Popular Diets
According to the Stanford researchers, the results of the test were even more striking when taking into account the popular diets participants were following, which were the low-carbohydrate Atkins diet and the low-fat Ornish diet. Participants whose genotypes matched the diet lost 6.8 percent body weight; while those whose genotypes did not match the diet lost only 1.4 percent.
Bottom Line
Despite these promising results, Carrie A. Zabel, a genetic counselor at the Mayo Clinic, points out that losing weight is much more complex than knowing about random gene variations. For instance, the effects of living in an obesogenic society — one that promotes unhealthy eating habits and a sedentary lifestyle — cannot be overlooked. Before shelling out money for a genetic test -- about $150 for one test -- she recommends investing in nutritious foods and a gym membership. Other methods that can give you an edge when losing weight include working out with a fitness buddy and getting more sleep, which helps to regulate your appetite and metabolism.

Home Economics (1924)
Home Economics, circa 1934. Photo Credit: M.S.U. Physical Plant.
The success of the "Women's Course," which became the Divison of Home Economics in 1909, led to its outgrowth of both the Women's Building (Morrill Hall) and Abbot Hall. As a result, the state Legislature granted funds for a new Home Economics building, one of few state-funded construction projects of the 1920s. Designed by Edwyn Bowd, the four-story building displays typical Collegiate Gothic style with its steeply pitched roof and decorative castellations, buttresses, and limestone quoins. Additions to the building were completed in 1937 (designed by Bowd–Munson) and 1980 (designed by the M.S.U. Physical Plant).
Along with offices and classrooms, the building contained laboratories that allowed the school to conduct scientific research and offer a graduate program in nutrition. These are but two examples of the broader scope of the Home Economics Division. As Dean Jean Krueger wrote in 1926, "We are not concerned now so much with the actual machinery of living, the perfection of the skills involved in the sewing of a 'fine seam,' or the making of a delicious pie, as we are in the psychological, sociological and economic adjustments of family groups to present day and future needs."[Kuhn, p. 293. Widder, p. 162]
The expanded program offered a total of eight different majors that prepared women for "a score of vocations" beyond the home including teaching, institutional management, clothing design, and textile chemistry. A graduate of a five-year cooperative course with the Edward W. Sparrow Hospital earned a B.S. degree and a general nursing certification. Next door, the home management practice house (formerly Faculty Row № 10 but known to the H.E. program as № 8)* provided a hands-on experience in all aspects of a functioning home as well as "the solution of family living problems."[Widder, pp. 155–157. Kuhn, p. 293]
The Division of Home Economics later grew to become the College of Home Economics. As its mission continued to expand, the school evolved into the College of Human Ecology, and the Home Economics building was renamed as the Human Ecology building.
On a side note: About a year after its first broadcast in March 1923, WKAR Radio was installed in studios located in the fourth floor of the Home Economics building's central tower section. The station was up and running before construction on the building had even been completed.[Kuhn, pp. 315–316; Widder, p. 228.]

About the Author
He has special interests in the Astrology, Legal, Immigration, Photography, Beauty and Travel industries.
If you run a small, independent store, chances are that you are competing with some large business behemoths in your area, who enjoy a large percentage of your client base. While a small business does many things to differentiate themselves, pricing is one area where they are usually not able to beat big business.
Based on our own experience and in conversations with small business owners in Australia, we bring you a very actionable list of things you can do:
Sell your best-selling item at cost
If your best selling item is selling at a fraction of the retail price, it will have a much larger impact on your sales event than if you just put on some ordinary items for sale. Once a customer walks in, they won't just be buying that one item you've put on sale. You'll end up selling a lot more inventory. This is what Coles is doing, when they put a bag of onions for sale at $1.
Sell local merchandise
Big business needs volume, and this isn't possible in cases where the cost of the local produce/ manufacturing is too high. So they'd stock imported stuff. You can compete by simply stocking locally produced or manufactured items. As Australians we love to support local farming & manufacturing, and this step would let people buy Australian.
Be Hermione Granger's beaded handbag
Yes, you might not recognise Hermione if you've never watched or read Harry Potter (for which we feel some sympathy for you). She is a central character in the epic fantasy series, and her beaded handbag is famous for holding anything and everything under the sun, mostly things that are usually not available anywhere else.
Be the beaded handbag of your area. Try and anticipate what people might need (winter is coming? Mother's day is coming?) and also keep a register of things people asked for but you didn't stock. Once your inventory is wide enough to cover most of people's requests, you'll develop a trust in people that anything not available elsewhere, might have a chance of being found in your store.
Watch the pricing strategies of your competitors
Businesses (including big business) adopt several below the belt tactics when it coming to pricing. Months ahead of a sales event, they might start jacking up the prices of everything in their store. By the time the sales event begins, that "65% off" is actually just the usual price, because the tag price in the preceding months were raised by the same percentage.
Sometimes big businesses identify a popular product, and price it lower than everyone else. However, they increase the prices of associated items or accessories in such a way that its not obvious.
While we're not saying that you should adopt these pricing methods, its good to understand your competitors and how they operate.
Make it personal
For small businesses have a trump card: the photo of the business owner smiling at you. Business business simply doesn't have this capability. You'd never see the face of the CEO featured on a Woolies or Coles advertisement (unless it was Steve Jobs). As a small business owner, use yourself as your biggest asset. Let people know why you are doing what you do, how you are differentiating and how you're bringing value. A personal connection with your customers can trump everything else.
Share your successes (and your failures)
Big businesses don't usually do this, and small business owners can differentiate themselves by sharing what's going on in their business. Did you make too many cakes this Valentine's day? Did you re-arrange your restaurant setting and it translated into increased revenue? People love to know entrepreneurial stories, and you'll have a boat load of them if you run a small business. Use this to your own advantage.
Try new things, every day
A huge advantage of being small is that you are nimble. Big businesses have corporate structures and plenty of 'reputation weight' to slow them down. That means you can try new things almost every day. Try a new flavour, and learn from customer feedback. Sell a small amount of a new product and see what customer reaction is. Big businesses do this, but they take their time. This is where you can take the lead and have a huge advantage of a smaller, faster feedback loop.
