"Take a look at the piece entitled 'Lost Alligators'. First you notice the color, that peculiar intense yellow green that characterizes South Florida. Then, the shack. It may be 5 or 50 years old, but it feels like it's been rooted into this tropical grotto forever. Than, take another look. And you smile. The alligator shack is an alligator. Awaiting its prey. Perpetually hungry. But never fated to be satisfied. It's that second look. The humor.
That's a Donna Hixson point of view.
She was born in the mid-section of Louisiana. Even after most of her life spent in the urban centers of Chicago and New York, you can still hear a tiny bit of that southern in her voice and see it in her smile. She was the first woman cameraman at NBC in Chicago. She turned to video production and again, consistently won awards for her unique visual sense. Then, left an essentially corporate world to become the lone poet, carrying her camera everywhere and capturing unseen people, landscapes, animals, wreckage and ruins.

Reporting abuse on Twitter and owning your words
At least that's what Caroline Criado-Perez learned when she led an online campaign to put Austen's likeness on the back of a 10-pound banknote in the UK. Her successful online petition to put Austen on the note got her more than 50,000 signatures - and about 50 rape threats an hour via Twitter for two days. One man has been arrested so far. It's as if some guys took a look at the countless stories in the Everyday Sexism project and decided to prove it could always be worse.
As angry as Ms. Criado-Perez is at the men who sent threats, she was even more upset with Twitter - because the social network's "report abuse" function is cumbersome and the overwhelming volume of harassment basically forced her off the platform. So Twitter is responding by adding a "report abuse" button on all its platforms (the iPhone client already has this feature).
Of course, as the Daily Dot points out in this excellent piece, this idea has pros and cons. Trolls already use this feature on other social networks to their advantage, inundating their targets with hundreds of false reports. Trolls who see their accounts blocked simply create new ones. Twitter will quickly find itself inundated with requests to review thousands of tweets in dozens of languages every day.
Ultimately I think we will all be hurt by this. We are so caught up in the information age of the 21st Century that we've forgotten what Daniel Webster said in 1847: "Liberty exists in proportion to wholesome restraint."
First, we will likely see another attempt to hold these chuckleheads accountable by outing them - like what Adrian Chen did to "violentacrez" or the Predditors idea or the occasional "racists on Twitter" piece at Jezebel. I'm waiting for someone to publicize an outing and shaming site with users on LinkedIn, where it will probably have the greatest effect. Imagine being a recruiter with this kind of resource - suddenly able to cross-reference anyone who applies for an opening with the creepy photos he took or the sexist rants he launched on Facebook or Twitter. I already ask a question to every person I interview for a job at my company - "is there anything on any of your social media profiles that you wouldn't want a client to see?" (I don't ask for passwords or anything like that.) This may become part of a standard background check.
Of course, there will be another backlash to this. Some will say, rightfully or not, "it wasn't me." Worse, we will again see the DDoS attacks and other hacks that can bring down the sites of entire companies - like what happened to SendGrid, the company that used to employ Adria Richards until she tweeted a picture of two guys at a professional conference who were being less than professional back in March. One of those guys lost his job, and the men's rights hacker collective demanded an eye for an eye. Richards may be seeking legal recourse with the company, but I haven't seen her say anything online since.
Ultimately, we will lose more of what's left of our online privacy. We already (often unwittingly) surrender our location, political affiliation, shopping preferences, religious beliefs, financial information, and even our health history to any number of companies. It's not that hard to find even more information, even if you don't use your real name online - just as Jezebel did. More people will learn how to employ these tactics, leading to more "outings" over more perceived transgressions.
There is, of course, a possible way out. I always think of Liz Gumbinner when I mention it, though Kristen Chase, Julie Marsh and Susan Getgood deserve credit as well.
Own your words.
That's the mantra of the project they started years ago called Blog With Integrity. I suppose it's the online equivalent of "I'm David Wescott and I approve this message."
The next time you see someone making a threat or an overtly sexist or racist remark online - even if it's not directed toward you - just ask them to share their real name and where you might follow up on the discussion. Ask them if it's so important to rape someone would they share who they really are. Maybe share something about themselves so we can understand their perspective, like where they go to school or where they work or live. Ask them to have the courage of their convictions. Ask them if they're willing to have a civil discussion in an open forum with people who may or may not think the way they do. If their ideas are valid and reasoned, perhaps they could enlighten the rest of us.
Just ask them, and see what they say. After all, everyone knows what Caroline Criado-Perez thinks, and she's willing to put her reputation on the line for her ideas. Do her critics hold themselves to that standard?
Perhaps I'm being naive. I'd love to know what others think.

Having already teamed up with Alexander McQueen, Luella, Stella McCartney and Jonathan Saunders to name but a few, the U.S. brand is continuing to show its love for British fashion with its latest project - a line of limited edition handbags by Anya Hindmarch.
We've had a sneak preview of the collection and we can tell you it's good. And while the shapes and sophisticated style are unmistakably Anya, the price tags are decidedly more affordable, ranging from $19.99 and $49.99. The range hits stores on October 12th for just three months, but if a shopping trip across the pond is simply not in your schedule in the coming months then don't panic.
A selection of the bags will also be available to buy online at www.anyahindmarch.com which means that us Brits don't have to miss out. However, the window of opportunity is small so you'll need to get in there fast. You can only snap the bags up between 8th and 13th of October, but those of you who are registered with the site will be able to pre-reserve your favourites from 29th September. Given the frenzy that ensued around the launch of the 'I'm Not A Plastic Bag' we predict that they'll sell out faster than you can say bargain buy.

Frequently Asked QuestionsPage address: http://www.mnsu.edu/studyabroad/faq/
I want to study abroad. Where / how do I start?
There are a number of places to start.
- You can speak first with your academic advisor to learn about special considerations for your major
- You can begin researching options on the Center for Education Abroad and Away website (www.mnsu.edu/studyabroad)
- Stop by our office in the Morris Hall 3 (lower level) and talk with a Peer Mentor or Education Abroad Advisor to learn about your many options.
We have created a full outline of the process that you can find at [PDF] http://www.mnsu.edu/studyabroad/studioabroad_process.pdf (2 MiB)
When can I study abroad?
Once you have achieved sophomore status (based on number of credits) you are eligible to study abroad. If you want to go on a faculty-led program, freshmen may participate with the professor's permission. Typically, you must have a cumulative GPA of 2.5 (higher for some programs) to be considered. Summer is becoming a popular option for your international experience!
What types of programs can I go on?
There are a number of different types of programs. Check out the "Program Options" page for more details.
Can I use my financial aid for study abroad?
Absolutely! Check out our "Financial Aid" page for more information.
I would like to go on a longer program, but cost is a big issue for me. What are the most cost-effective programs?
Our exchange programs would be a good fit for you. You pay MNSU tuition and get help and support from the Center for Education Abroad and Away and our overseas partners. Normally, the only additional costs are your plane ticket, visa/passport costs, and your living expenses abroad. We are constantly expanding the number of exchange programs. You can find the current list on this webpage.
Will my credits transfer back to MNSU?
Yes. Our application process includes a Course Equivalency Sheet. During the application phase, you will list your planned classes (plus some alternates) and take it to the appropriate campus departments so that they can confirm in writing how the classes will transfer back. Once your transcript is returned, and assuming that you pass your classes, you bring this sheet and a copy of your transcript to the academic departments to complete a Course substitution / equivalency form. This form finalizes the contribution of your education abroad classes to graduation.
What if I run into a problem overseas?
In all cases, students receive on-going support from overseas staff and from the Center for Education Abroad and Away. Orientation sessions are offered in Mankato and in your destination country. At your in-country orientation, you will learn about what to do in case of an emergency. For non-emergencies, both the on-site staff and MSU staff members are available to answer questions and direct students to resources such as activities, health care, academic support services, etc.

Data managing in Sabah, Borneo
By Finella Blair - Data manager for the Human Modified Tropical Forest Progamme
In November 2016, as part of my role as data manager for the NERC Human Modified Tropical Forest Programme (HMTF), I had the chance to attend the Heart of Borneo conference in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah and visit the SAFE project where the BALI and LOMBOK consortia researchers conduct most of their fieldwork.
One of my tasks as data manager is to ensure that the datasets (nearly 200 to date but still increasing) produced by over 50 researchers, are identified and documented so that at the end of the programme they are available for reference in future research. With so many people and datasets, the only way to track it all is with a database so the majority of my job is desk based. To manage data effectively it is important to understand the information you manage so I like to learn as much as possible about the research projects. The opportunity to get into the field and see them first hand is one not to be missed.
My first few days were spent at the conference, the first day hearing all about Heart of Borneo and the work of the Sabah Forestry Department. On the second day Greg Asner gave the Keynote speech, announcing that LIDAR imagery produced by the Carnegie Airborne Observatory had confirmed measurements to show that not only was the tallest tree in the tropics in Sabah, but also the top 50 tallest trees.
I then had a perfect introduction to the work of the LOMBOK researchers, as each gave a short presentation about their work, including my personal favourite, Rosie Drinkwater's work on analysing leech blood meals as a potential method for identifying the presence of host species that are hard to survey by standard methods.
At the end of the conference I travelled to the SAFE project site. Over the week I stayed in camp, each day I followed a different team. While I don't consider myself particularly unfit and I have done fieldwork in the tropics before, I was very impressed by the fitness levels and dedication of all the field researchers I followed!
The first day was spent with BALI's Sam Robinson (photo right), Daffyd Elias (CEH) and their research assistant, taking soil cores, collecting hyphal growth bags and surveying canopy gaps.
On the second day I joined LOMBOK researchers (photo below) Ute Skibe and Julia Drewer as they worked with their PhD student from ITBC, University of Malaysia, Melissa Leduning. For Melissa, this was the final field work trip of her studies on the impact of land use change on soil greenhouse gas fluxes.
I later joined Proffessor Owen Lewis from the University of Oxford Zoology Department and his research assistant, Ross Gray, as they tested the design of a capture-mark-recapture experiment, using bait traps to investigate how moths and butterflies use riparian zones within oil palm landscapes.
The highlight of the trip for me was the day I spent with University of Kent MRes. student, Dave Seaman walking a 2.5km primate survey transect. We were at the start of the transect at dawn and when we emerged from the forest many hours later, I had not only seen and heard gibbons and langurs but had had the privilege to stand quietly and watch a young female wild orang utan barely 10 metres away staring calmly back at us. The temptation to click away with my camera was strong, but instead I just enjoyed the moment and it is one I shall never forget.
The rest of the week was filled with more field excursions and evening data sessions in the camp lab.
It was a very useful and interesting trip that has helped me understand so much better the information I am being sent and I appreciate just how much hard work is behind the spreadsheets I see back in the comfort of the Ecosystems lab!
Thank you to all of the BALI and LOMBOK teams who let me tag along and ask basic (but hopefully not stupid) questions! I will be chasing you for your metadata shortly!
A few of the many photos I took on the trip are below...

U.S. Military Threatened by Obesity?
(RT) According to a report released by Mission Readiness, obesity is the most common medical reason that potential recruits are disqualified from service in US Army. The report titled "Still Too Fat To Serve" says increasing obesity could be a challenge to national security as fewer and fewer people are eligible to keep up with the physical demands of the service.
One Response to U.S. Military Threatened by Obesity?
It's disingenuous for the military to complain about obesity when the departments of the federal government approve every GMO poison and every chemical poison known to man.
These fuckers are trying to shorten our lives and damage the quality of our lives thru obesity and disease. Sheesh.

India PM Manmohan Singh denies 'inaction' claims
India's prime minister has rejected accusations that he acted too slowly over prosecuting a former minister.
India's Supreme Court wants Manmohan Singh to explain 16 months of "alleged inaction" over a scandal involving the sale of mobile phone licences.
Telecoms Minister A Raja has resigned over allegations he sold mobile phone licences for billions of dollars less than their value. He denies the claims.
Mr Singh said anyone found guilty over the scandal would be punished.
The BBC's Chris Morris in Delhi says the widening scandal involving the allocation of second-generation (2G) mobile phone licences is fast becoming a major challenge for the Indian government.
Federal auditors say rules were flouted when the licences were put up for sale in 2008.
Licences in the lucrative market had been sold at "unbelievably low prices" - the loss to the government could be as high as $39bn (£24.3bn), they said in a report.
Mr Raja resigned a week ago, denying any wrongdoing.
The Supreme Court then asked the prime minister or any official on his behalf to submit a reply in writing by Saturday.
Government lawyers have now filed the affidavit, which argues that investigations are already well under way.
Mr Singh touched on the issue during a news conference.
"There should be no doubt in anyone's mind that if any wrong thing has been done by anybody, he or she will be brought to book," Mr Singh said.
Allegations are now flying thick and fast, our correspondent says, and potentially damaging tapes of telephone conversations between an influential lobbyist and senior business and media figures have reached the public domain.
But attention is focused primarily on the prime minister himself, who has an unblemished reputation for probity in a system where corruption has become all too common, he adds.
The opposition has blocked parliamentary business for days, and it senses an opportunity to cause significant political damage.
Opposition MP Subramanian Swamy says he wrote letters to Mr Singh in 2008 calling for Mr Raja's prosecution.
In India, the prosecution of a cabinet minister has to be cleared by the prime minister.
He says Mr Singh took more than a year to reply, which the government denies.

The minutes of 6-01-10 were corrected as follows: Page 4, 3rd paragraph, 4th sentence should read, "It is referred to as a Transit Study but it is actually a Long-Distance Bus Route Study"; Page 4, 3rd paragraph, 2nd to last sentence will be removed which reads, "The draft will not be implemented until next year but will provide the tools to know what is needed (i.e., park & ride lots, funding options)" (Thelen).

Bob Hiivala, Auditor/Treasurer, said the 2010 Legislature made a number of changes to Minnesota Election Laws. Among these changes is a new process for administering absentee balloting and new requirements for municipalities and counties. The changes in the absentee balloting process were intended to create more consistency in how absentee ballots are accepted or rejected. As a result of these Legislative changes, Wright County is now required to pass a resolution establishing a Wright County Absentee Ballot Board (MS 203B.12). Hiivala stated as provided in Sections 204B.19 to 204B23, he plans to appoint members of his staff to the County Absentee Ballot Board. The following municipalities have requested and have received designation from Hiivala to administer their own absentee voting process: Cities of Albertville, Buffalo, Delano, Monticello and St. Michael. The Secretary of State's Office is providing specialized training with respect to the absentee voting process to the Auditor/Treasurer staff and to the municipalities. Hiivala presented the resolution that allows for the establishment of a Wright County Absentee Ballot Board. Eichelberg moved to adopt Resolution #10-19, seconded by Russek, carried 5-0 on a roll call vote.
Minnesota Statute 204C.31 states that the County Canvassing Board shall consist of: County Auditor/Treasurer, Court Administrator, Mayor or Chair of the County's most populous municipality (City of St. Michael), and two members of the County Board selected by the Board from its members who are not candidates at the election. The Statutes prescribe that the County Canvassing Board shall meet on or before the third day following the State Primary. Hiivala suggested 8-12-10 at 8:30 A.M. in the County Board Room. Eichelberg moved to appoint Russek and Thelen to the Canvassing Board to meet on the date and time suggested, seconded by Russek. Richard Norman, County Coordinator, indicated that Budget sessions will be held that day as well. It was the consensus that Budget Sessions could start at 10:00 A.M. that day. The motion carried 5-0.
With funding from Help America Vote, 23 precincts in Wright County updated to M100 Tabulating Machines. Hiivala presented a Contract for approval with Election Systems and Software (ES&S) for an annual amount of $3,795.00. The Contract will provide maintenance of the machines. In an effort to save the precincts money, the County will contract with ES&S and bill the precincts. All precincts have signed an agreement with Wright County that they will abide by the terms of the Contract. The Contract has been reviewed by Brian Asleson, Chief Deputy Attorney. Russek moved to approve the Contract with ES&S, seconded by Eichelberg, carried unanimously.
In 2008, the County applied for a Ditch Record Modernization Grant through the State. The State recognized that many counties have manual records in need of modernization. Wright County was notified that they were not selected in 2008 (22 applicants were selected to receive the grant and Wright County was number 23 on the list). Hiivala felt there was a high likelihood that Wright County will receive the grant if they apply again. Hiivala requested authorization to apply for the $50,000 grant. The match requirements include in-kind staff labor from the Auditor/Treasurer's Office, the SWCD, and the Surveyor's Office (if they have time). Many records have been scanned but not indexed. They would also work with the SWCD to inventory the ditch systems. This will improve the GIS Layers. Russek asked whether the $50,000 will be enough to complete the work. Hiivala felt it would. If the Grant is received, they will work with BWSR on a work plan that will detail what will be done. Eichelberg questioned whether additional staff will be requested to complete the work. Hiivala explained current office staff will continue the program once it is up to speed. Russek moved to authorize signatures on the Grant application, seconded by Thelen, carried 5-0.
Russek brought forth discussion on Ditch 31. He was contacted last week by Brad Fyle, Fyle's Excavating, on a request to clean out a portion of Ditch 31 that runs through property owned by Vernon & Mildred Yager. The Yagers want to clean out the area at no cost to the County. Russek said there is no one else on this portion of the Ditch. The repair work will not happen for several weeks. Mattson said this type of request has been approved previously but the landowner had to work through Kerry Saxton, SWCD, to make sure they do not clean out the Ditch to a different level (wider or deeper). Russek moved to authorize cleanout of Ditch 31 on the Yager property at no cost to the County. The landowner/contractor must work with Kerry Saxton, SWCD, to make sure cleanout is completed properly. Hiivala said the action plan should be put into the Ditch 31 records. He will work with Russek on that. Mattson questioned whether this is an emergency repair to the Ditch. Otherwise, the item was petitioned onto the Agenda and is considered an action item. Russek said it is an emergency repair as water is backing up on their property. The motion carried 5-0.
On a motion by Russek, second by Thelen, all voted to approve the claims as listed in the abstract, subject to audit.
Steve Berg, Emergency Management Director, said Wright County has been awarded an Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) in the amount of $51,346.00 for 2010. This is a matching grant that is met through the Sheriff's budget. The Grant is possible through Federal funds provided to the State, which are then distributed to the 87 counties. If a county does not turn in the application or meet the requirements, they are not awarded grant funding. The distribution is formulated on a 1/3 base amount, 1/3 on population, and 1/3 on net tax capacity. Larger counties receive more funding. If approved, the Contract will be signed and sent to the State for their signatures. Eichelberg moved to approve the EMPG Grant, seconded by Sawatzke, carried 5-0.
Berg said upon review of the Emergency Operations Plan (EOP), he found that the resolution authorizing the dispatch and use of County equipment and services by the County Coordinator in emergency situations was not signed and dated. The EOP is being upgraded for the Regional Review Committee in November, so he feels this resolution should be adopted. The resolution authorizes the County Coordinator to release County equipment and personnel for areas outside of the County. Thelen moved to adopt Resolution #10-20, seconded by Russek, carried 5-0 on a roll call vote.
Lee Kelly, Special Projects Administrator, requested that the Board adopt a resolution and authorize signatures on the Waiver of Recovery Zone Bond Allocation. In 2009, Wright County received allocations under the Recovery Zone Bond Program. The County's Economic Development Recovery Zone Bonds ($3,976,000) were reallocated to the Cities of St. Michael and Albertville (about $1.9 million each). No projects have been identified which are eligible to utilize the County's allocation of the $5,965,000 in Recovery Zone Facilities Bonds. Kelly said Noel LaBine, Economic Development Partnership, has done due diligence to identify projects that would qualify for the funds but has not come up with anything. Minnesota Management and Budget has requested that unused Recovery Zone Bond allocations are waived back into a State pool for redistribution. Kelly requested the Board authorize this action for the $5,965,000. St. Michael has used their allocation but the City of Albertville has not bonded yet. Kelly felt discussion on this may be forthcoming. Thelen moved to adopt Resolution #10-21 authorizing signatures on the Waiver of Recovery Zone Bond Allocation. The motion was seconded by Eichelberg and carried 5-0 on a roll call vote.
Marc Mattice, Parks Administrator, brought forth a request for the Board to authorize signatures on documents relating to the purchase of land for the Bertram Chain of Lakes Project. During the County Board Meetings of 3-09-10, 3-16-10, and 4-06-10, authorization was given to move forward with a Phase II purchase at the Bertram Chain of Lakes Regional Park. All background work has been performed, including the acceptance of the Grant ($549,587.99) from Metro Greenways, appraisals, updates to the Natural Resources Management Plan, and the property survey. Central Land Title is compiling the closing documents. During the mentioned meetings, the County Board approved the local match from the County ($274,814) out of the CIP Levy Stabilization Fund 34. The documents are between Wright County, the City of Monticello, and the YMCA of Metropolitan Minneapolis. The first document is the Purchase Agreement and the second is the Memorandum of Understanding Second Addendum. The language in the Purchase Agreement is the same as the Purchase Agreement from the first purchase except for the purchase price and legal description. Sawatzke moved to approve signatures on the Purchase Agreement, seconded by Thelen. Russek said he would vote against the motion as he feels the County is overextending itself. He is against spending money on Parks when there are other things that are necessities. Mattson said it is a great piece of land and he has nothing against it. However, he did not feel this was the correct time to purchase the land. He said his District has over 5,000 unemployed and it will be hard for those people to accept this action. The motion carried 3-2 with Mattson and Russek casting the nay votes. Mattice then asked for approval of the Memorandum of Understanding Second Addendum. The Memorandum Of Understanding was updated to reflect past purchases of land and the closing date. Mattice said Chief Deputy Attorney Asleson and the YMCA have reviewed the document. Both the Purchase Agreement and the Memorandum of Understanding are in the possession of the YMCA. They will sign the documents and provide them to Mattice. Mattice will deliver them to the City of Monticello for their signatures. Mattice said the City has already taken action to authorize signatures on the documents. The documents will then be brought to the County Coordinator's Office for signatures. Sawatzke moved to authorize signatures on the Memorandum of Understanding, seconded by Thelen, carried 3-2 with Mattson and Russek casting the nay votes.
Norman said the Water Management Summit will be held on 7-12-10 in St. Cloud. Eichelberg moved to authorize attendance by the Board, seconded by Thelen, carried 5-0. Thelen and Russek indicated they will attend the Summit. It was noted that both the Chair and Vice Chair of the Human Services Board will be attending the Summit and will not attend the Human Services Board Meeting on 7-12-10.
On a motion by Russek, second by Eichelberg, roll call vote carried 5-0 to adopt Resolution #10-22, Highway Right-Of-Way Plat for the CSAH 40 Bridge (SP 86-640-02).
On a motion by Thelen, second by Russek, roll call vote carried 5-0 to adopt Resolution #10-23, Highway Right-Of-Way Plat for CSAH 75 (SAP 86-675-13).
On a motion by Eichelberg, second by Russek, roll call vote carried 5-0 to adopt Resolution #10-24, Highway Right-Of-Way Plat for CSAH 3 (86-603-17).
Thelen moved to adopt Resolution #10-25 approving Amendment No. 6 to Mn/DOT Agreement No. 86572 for the TH 55 Corridor Coalition. The motion was seconded by Russek. Mattson asked whether the County Board has discussed this Agreement. Russek said the County needs a fiscal agent to obtain Federal funding and Mn/DOT serves in this role. The motion carried 5-0 on a roll call vote.
Mattson was contacted by Paul Beddoe, Associate Legislative Director of the Washington Office of NACo. Beddoe explained to Mattson that NACo will present additional information in their upcoming newsletters explaining their position on the Health Care Bill. The information previously provided by NACo may not have explained this properly. Beddoe thanked Mattson for bringing this issue forth and indicated that members of other counties had done so as well. This was provided as an informational item.
Norman said AMC sent information relating to the summer Redesign Initiatives. AMC is requesting that the document be reviewed and that interest in any initiatives should be conveyed to AMC by 6-11-10. Sawatzke referenced the section, "Streamlining Local Planning & Zoning Ordinances." He thought Tom Salkowski, Planning & Zoning Administrator, or Commissioner Russek, who serves on the Planning Commission, may be interested in that initiative. Sawatzke said it would be good to have Planning & Zoning Administrators involved with that process.

The US, UN, Iran and 2008
Blog @ MoreWhat.com
The following is certainly an oversimplified appraisal. But the order of the news reports lent itself to an almost automatic response. The events themselves may have played out somewhat differently. At least as far as timing is concerned. But nevertheless there chronological publishing times may be in proper order. The point is this.
We all know that Iran was on President Bush's 'D' list. They were not likely to get invited to any parties. And if you are old enough to remember the dagger in the heart of Jimmy Carter's Administration or had some history classes in school, you are familiar with 444 days worth of agony suffered by Americans at the hands of Iranian hospitality.
Then there was the Reagan Administration basking in the glory of the return of the American hostages and later the Iran-Contra scandal and I'm getting crazy just thinking about it. That is over twenty-five years ago and the process has not improved. It appears more complicated than the simple explanation that every country is looking out for their own agenda and benefit.
With the Memorial Day concluding earlier this week, thoughts of WWII and the greatest generation did not escape most Americans. Citizens of many other countries are sure to have been reminded also. When I think of our country's contribution to winning that war alongside so many other allied nations, another striking reminder enters my thoughts.
At the end of WWII the League of Nations was replaced by the United Nations whose stated mission was to intervene in conflicts between nations and avoid future wars. It almost seems as though human beings were finally getting it right. Instead of a period of time of peaceful activity followed by the totally impractical practice of armed conflict, we would solve our differences in an organized group to eliminate the need for death and destruction in enormous quantities.
Let's review the latest success of this noble endeavor. As stated earlier, the sequence of the following reports is assumed to be relatively chronological.
Iraq's Sadr blasts US-Iranian meeting
BAGHDAD, May 30 (UPI) -- Among those who blasted the meeting is Iranian-backed Shiite cleric Moqtada Sadr, who said in a statement Wednesday that the U.S.-Iranian talks in Baghdad Monday constituted "interference in Iraqi affairs."
So the first thing that happens is the cleric known as Sadr throws his two cents worth in 'dissin' the meeting. One man who has done everything he can to cause more bloodshed in Iraq is complaining about a meeting between the US and Iran. Could be so simple as he doesn't want anything solved for it ups his value as a 'somebody' in Iraq.
Talking With Our Enemies Is Smart Policy
The Moderate Voice -
By Jeb Koogler. The recent meeting between American and Iranian officials in Baghdad effectively brings to an end the Bush administration's use of 'enforced ...
Then we have another opinion apparently applauding an approach that differs from the typical 'cowboy George' routine that one could characterize as shoot now, ask questions later or the old Teddy Roosevelt adage of walk softly and carry a big stick. This second philosophy has a tendency of provoking more attitude from hostile foes and delay the desired victory outcome.
Iran official rules out halting enrichment ahead of nuclear talks ...
International Herald Tribune, France -
In another sign of defiance, hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad boasted that Iran has become so strong that no adversary can defeat it. ...
Which of course prompted the response above from the Iranians as well as another one bragging about no one would be crazy enough to challenge the great and powerful Iranian military. Ok, where did we here that Mother of all wars speech before. Yo, yo, Prez AJ, over powering the Iraqi forces was not a problem. Keeping the nutcases contained has presented a problem, but foreign armies, not a big deal. Does he have that little man syndrome?
Diplomats: West rejected Iran nuke concession
In another sign of defiance, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad boasted that his country's military has become so strong that no adversary would risk an ...
And the tennis ball lands in the other court and we have renewed talk about regime change. So the long delayed question is where the hell is the United Nations, again, and why does it even exist anymore. Not like their weren't plenty of reasons to ask for it to be dissolved before.
Getting Serious About Iran: For Regime Change
Commentary, NY -
To the contrary, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the recently elected president, announced that the Islamic Republic was reneging on its suspension agreement and ...
Afghanistan, Iraq, maybe Iran, Russia and new nukes, India talking more nukes, US shielding EU and the circus just keeps coming to town. Is no other country the least bit interested in taking one more shot at using the UN for what it was designed for? I am sure anyone reading this may feel compelled to complain about my suggestions. Consider that the UN is useless and it probably needs to be dissolved. But now would be a great time to give that 'body' one last chance to actually do something useful. There are major players involved in dealing with the current generation of conflict and resolution. There is no better time to get everyone involved and in a position to make the UN work before it is entirely abandoned. Even a loser is worth one more try. As long as the cards are on the table and every one knows how to play.
In the words of Larry the Cable Guy, 'get her done'. If it flops, get rid of it.
Thompson on the Run
Town Hall, DC -
At an event for the Electronic Data Systems Corp. on April 27, he said he supported helping Iranians overthrow President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's government. ...
Heading into the 2008 elections, it would be nice to resolve some of the world's issues since no one knows who will be in the White House and the example above is not ready for nonsense by his statements. That may apply to one or more other candidates but some would be a definite disadvantage in that regard.

Don't you hate when you play 90 minutes to a 0-0 tie, then score in the 91st minute and have to dread the next 29?
That's what we just did. Nathan Smith with a glorious goal to take a lead over Canada.

Andrew Oliver in the 100th! The ball is cleared after a long Canadian free kick towards midfield, Oliver takes off running, a fine leading, long throw by I'm not sure who, Oliver is onside since it's a throw, touches twice into the box, around the goalie once, and then taps in for the insurance goal.

Nice redemption for Oliver. He had two golden chances for a regulation winner and flubbed them both.

I feel as though I undersold Smith's goal. It was a wonderstrike, a 40 yard laserbeam into the top corner that left the Canadian goalie, who's played very well all tournament, with no hope.

RE: Smith's goal: world-class strike regardless of level.
Didn't see what Oliver did to get thrown off, but it must have been something, because the ref was pretty much keeping the cards in his pocket all game unlike that ridiculous official from the El Salvador game. Pretty disappointing that he'll miss the first WC game given that the result was well in hand.
Really nice to see the improved passing and combination play, though. This was by far the best played game of the three in the knockout rounds. If the boys (and Mario Rodriguez in particular) could have gotten decent crosses into the box we might have run away with this in the first period rather than in extra time.
Totally stoked for the U-20 Championship now. Let's make it a trifecta this year.

Commonwealth Day Message from Her Majesty
Monday, Mar. 14, 2016
The theme of Her Majesty's 2016 Commonwealth Day message is "An Inclusive Commonwealth." She states, "Being inclusive and accepting diversity goes far deeper than accepting differences at face value and being tolerant. True celebration of the dignity of each person, and the value of their uniqueness and
contribution, involves reaching out, recognising and embracing their individual identity."
"At a time when our province and our nation are welcoming refugees from Syria, the message of inclusivity is most relevant," said Lieutenant Governor Solomon Schofield. "As Canada joins with our 52 partner nations to mark Commonwealth Day, we celebrate our shared values of peace, democracy, and equality, and reflect on how we can contribute further to creating a more inclusive world."
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is Head of the Commonwealth. Commonwealth Day is celebrated on the second Monday of March each year.

Message from Her Majesty The Queen, Head of the Commonwealth
14 March 2016
Wherever we live in the Commonwealth, we can always benefit from being open to the ideas and
encouragement of those around us. Each of us can also make a positive difference in the lives of
others by being willing to contribute and offer support.
This is an essential ingredient of belonging to the Commonwealth: the willingness to share, to
exchange and to act for the common good. By including others, drawing on collective insights,
knowledge and resources, and thinking and working together, we lay the foundations of a
harmonious and progressive society. The greater the diversity of those included in such a shared
enterprise, the greater the gains. Each of us has cause to celebrate the sense of belonging
expressed in our 2016 theme: 'An Inclusive Commonwealth'.
Our recognition of this value, and the wisdom of mutual respect for each other, is set out in the
Commonwealth Charter. Its opening words, "We the people of the Commonwealth" convey the
conviction that individuals, as well as governments, build and shape our success.
Being inclusive and accepting diversity goes far deeper than accepting differences at face value and
being tolerant. True celebration of the dignity of each person, and the value of their uniqueness and
contribution, involves reaching out, recognising and embracing their individual identity.
At the recent Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting, there were forums for women, youth,
business and civil society. These forums were a place for reflection on how to contribute
collectively to achieving positive global change, for which the Commonwealth is widely respected.
Today, and in the year ahead, the theme 'An Inclusive Commonwealth' is an inspiration for us all.
Let us give it practical effect by supporting those in need and those who feel excluded in all walks
of life. By doing so, we will continue to build a truly representative Commonwealth community.

By Mark Deisinger
Let's talk about happiness. What is it and what isn't it and how important is it? Merriam-Webster defines happiness as a state of well-being and contentment. If that's what happiness is, then what isn't it? I would say, and here I'm disagreeing with Merriam-Webster, who offer this as a synonym, that happiness is not joy, especially as the Christian tradition has defined joy. I think the key difference is that happiness is fleeting and depends on our circumstances, while Christian joy remains even when we're suffering or in some sort of pain, because joy is based on the belief that God loves us and has secured our salvation even in the midst of worldly grief. C. S. Lewis said, in Letters to Malcolm: Chiefly on Prayer: "Joy is the serious business of Heaven." Maybe, like Lewis often did, we should capitalize this definition: Joy.
So, if Joy is sort of the eternal counterpart to happiness, then how important is happiness itself? We certainly do seem to give it a lot of our attention. It's easy to get wrapped around the axle because of a lack of happiness, and that can stunt our ability to navigate through our days and function in our world. Lack of happiness colors our view of the world in gray. I would say, then, that it seems unwise to neglect our own happiness.
Social media (Facebook, Instagram, etc.) amplifies the "turn the world gray" effect. It's widely understood that the overwhelming majority of people on social media portray only the positive, happy parts of their lives. This leads to an insidious trick we play on ourselves. Here is the lie we tell ourselves: A lot of people, maybe most people, are happier than me.
We see the lives of others through social media at a carefully-selected distance. From that distance, their lives look amazing. They are always smiling, their Christmas gatherings are picture-perfect, and their children have straight teeth and are beautiful, respectful, and successful.
What we don't see are the things they don't want to air in public. We don't get transcripts of the arguments that ruin dinners on normal, boring Tuesdays. We don't get anecdotes about the child falling into drug abuse before she's out of high school. We don't see video and hear audio of slamming doors and a strained marriage. The gatekeeper of social media keeps our understanding at bay, and from that distance we see people with better lives than ours.
But it's not true. I think of a gal with whom I attended elementary school and college. She grew up a block from me, and she was a lovely and gracious person. The last time I saw her, at college, she was engaged to a basketball star from my high school (he's a great guy, too). Their four beautiful kids are athletic and smart. Every picture of them just bursts with fun and good feelings. They all seem to live charmed lives, moving from success to success. The very picture of happiness. Privately, though, I learned from her that her father died not long after we were in college. That part wasn't on her publicly-available page. Life has not been an unbroken chain of happy moments for her.
During the second week of the enCompass Clues teaching series, our illustrious pastor Kevin was talking about happiness and said this in a facetious aside:
[T]here's always a few obnoxious people in every church who got it all. They always get the parking space, they have the happy family, their job is miraculous, and they go around looking at the rest of us like "What's wrong with you? I've got the parking spaces and the happy family and the perfect job. Jesus does this for me; why doesn't he do that for you?"
This got me thinking. If there were any such people, then my earthly nature would probably indeed find them annoying, but I don't think there are any perfectly happy people in our church, or in any church, or in any community of any type anywhere on the planet. Happiness just doesn't work like that. It comes and goes. It's fleeting and hard to grasp and elusive. It isn't Joy.
Romans 12:12 (NIV) says "Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer." Patient in affliction and joyful in hope at the same time? That seems hard to do, but it's what we're called to pursue. Speaking of the Macedonian churches, Paul in 2 Corinthians 8:2 (NIV) says: "In the midst of a very severe trial, their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity." Right in the midst of a very severe trial and extreme poverty, they had overflowing joy. Wow. Pretty impressive. Very unusual. Very unlike me, I'm afraid.
But also attainable for me and for you and for Joe or Jane Average Christian, because it's been made available to all who believe in Jesus. Learning to live in Joy in the midst of trials, no matter who you are, where you live, or the degree to which others judge the severity of your trials, is something we, as Christians, should all do.
I mean, what's the alternative? Be sourpusses? No thanks. I choose life, with all it implies, including Joy. Choose it with me.

I am turning 40 next year. I am hoping to convince my wife to a trip to Japan to coincide, hopefully, with Maaya doing a 25th anniversary concert. I am willing to celebrate my birthday early, on time, or late if it means I can get to see a Maaya concert.
What I am wondering is how have ticket sales worked in the past? I know that at one point if you were a fan club member you got early access to prime seats, possibly, through some lottery process. I also seem to recall reading on here that there was a Maaya's meet up at a previous concert before I joined the board.
Is there some way I can join the fan club internationally and have the opportunity at tickets? If there is, has anyone ever documented the process? I searched the board but didn't find anything popping out.
Thanks and sorry if this has been addressed before. If it has, feel free to provide the link.

"Everyone seems convinced that Dozier is the next big thing. Of course, spring training is all about hope. If you can't get excited over a prospect in spring training, heck, you should be watching a different sport. But in this case, I really do think that "next" is going to be pretty darn quick."Really Tom? Dozier certainly has had a nice run since the beginning of last season and has some speed, gap power and plays decent defense, but we're not talking about the second coming. Ron Gardenhire and many Twins fans love Dozier as well, while I see Dozier topping out as a middle of the road middle infielder. A Greg Gagne with a little more speed, a little more on-base skills and a little less defense. Dozier, like Levi Michael both benefit by being in a system with few decent middle infield prospects.

The complex is very well maintained. There is no parking near mailboxes or even a place to pull to the side of the road to retrieve mail. Complex management and ownership would receive my lowest rating; assistant manager extremely antagonistic and disagreeable, with no customer-service skills, and the owners renege on promises. Maintenance is done in a timely manner, which means the duplexes...
Although I moved from the area the whitesell duplexes are really nice and a great value. Saw an earlier poor review and the management and owners changed since then runs much better now and they offer a lot for the money.

Bryan Ellis
My name is Bryan Ellis. I am host of Self Directed Investor Talk, which I'm told is America's #1 podcast and for affluent self-directed investors. I'm also something of an expert in self-directed IRA's, solo 401k's and 1031 exchanges. Along with the vast amount of my work on this site, you can find more of my writing in some cool places like TheStreet.com, Entrepreneur.com, ThinkRealty and even Forbes (that was always one of my goals!). I have the distinction of being a non-lawyer whose knowledge of the law surrounding self-directed IRA's is so strong that I teach legal education courses to licensed attorneys through UCLA/CEB. I live in metro Atlanta, Georgia with my wife and business partner Carole Ellis (she's a real business partner… not just because she's my wife… I'd want to work with her if I wasn't married to her… and I'd want to marry her, too). I also have 4 children ranging in age from 2 to 20 (yes, you read that correctly). It's my objective to be the name everybody thinks of when they think of Self-Directed IRA's and Solo 401(k)'s.
