Rated 4 out of 5 by 2
Rated 4 out of 5 by BuckFever89 Great rings
They are very stout and easy to install. My gun came with a picatinny rail but is a traditional style rifle. These rings worked great and are far cheaper than the competition. I am purchasing a second set for a friend for Christmas. The only issue I had is that the scope cannot be adjusted very much because of the width of the rings.

Rated 4 out of 5 by ClintD These Are No Joke....
So I ordered these being familiar with the Blackhawk name and figured if these are as reliable as their other tactical gear I'd be good. Well like the title to this review says, "They Are No Joke". Very stout and certainly appears to have taken my fears of a moving scope away that is on a gun I just plink and toss around to whack ground squirrels on occasion and need to hold zero. The six screws on each mount provide tons of grip and hold well. The only down side to rings like these is that you will loose some adjust ability on your scope due to the ring size. So works well if your scope has enough tube for setting eye relief. Thats the only thing that gave this Four Stars...Otherwise they are freaking awesome.

Hands on opinion with the Razr M
Just got the official demo in today and I just wanted to say that I am really impressed with this phone. I have a Galaxy S3 and I have no intentions of getting the Razr M, but if this phone is any indication of the HD, then I might consider. Either way here is a few things I like...
The screen quality is top notch and this was the biggest surprise of all. Edge to edge needs to be done more.
The size is small, but they still were able to fit a 4.3" screen on such a small body and I think more companies need to take note. I would love to have a 4.7 on a smaller body.
I love that Motorola went with on screen buttons and this is what makes me mad about Samsung and still using the buttons on the button.
The build quality is top notch once again and puts other phones to shame. This is the type of phone I would keep nude for sure.
As for performance, it's very smooth and with jelly bean coming soon, it can only get even smoother.
Battery life is very good actually. I'm not sure what AC is complaining about, we had this off charge since 8am and everyone has been playing with it since, it's now 5 and we are still at 68%.
If you guys have any questions, let me know. - 09-11-2012, 07:21 PM #2

Re: Hands on opinion with the Razr M
my store also received their demo a few days ago I been playing with it pretty hard core. I love the feeling of it. Nice one handed device with a nice size screen. not to mention a gorgeous screen. The camera does lack in some areas but the hdr mode extremely enhances photos. I have a galaxy s3 now and I actually just added a third line to get this device. As much as I love my s3 I love the screen buttons and bare bone android ui, well almost bare. I wanted to lock into a 10 months upgrade contract before I left company and this was only other phone worth getting out at the moment. I plan on giving it to my fiance to take her away from the iphone and them upgrade in October to either razr hd or maxx hd. We shall see.

Re: Hands on opinion with the Razr M
The second moto announced this phone I basically had made up my mind I was going to get one. I'd had my mind set on a galaxy s3, simply because it was the best phone you can get on verizon. The only problem was, I enjoy rooting and rom'ing, and it was only recently that phone was unlocked. Also, I'm not a fan of how big phones are getting these days. I loved the size of my OG Droid (except for the thickness), and I like the screen size of my TBolt. So the thought of getting the screen size of my TBolt, in a frame closer to the size of the OG Droid, with basically the same specs as the S3, made it a no brainer. However, I can't buy something I'll be using every day without checking it out first. So, I popped into my neighborhood store to check it out yesterday. One of the associates was happy to let me play around with the demo units they were setting up. When he handed it to me, it still had the plastic film on the screen and he hadn't even gone through the initial out-of-box setup, which was nice. In other words, I was the first person in my neighborhood to get my hands on one (except associates, of course). He went through the whole spiel, then left me on my own to check it out. My thoughts:
First, all the reviews that said the camera sucked are pretty harsh. No, it's not the best, but from what I could see snapping various photos in the store, it'll do just fine in normal situations. I didn't get a chance to get any really low light shots, but either way, it's better than the TBolt (which is all I really have to compare it to).
To me the build felt solid, not cheap like some of the reviews said, and fit perfectly in my hand. The edge-to-edge display is pretty sweet, immensely brighter than my TBolt (though that's not saying much), and though I definitely noticed the pentile-ness of it, it didn't bother me as much as some other phones I've used. The power and volume buttons are very responsive and give you a sense that you've actually pushed a button, which apparently HTC didn't understand when they put the jello like buttons on the TBolt. I'm kinda split on moto's (google's?) decision to go with the software back/home/app switcher buttons. I'd always been one to detest phones that have a non-removable battery, but I've recently changed my view (razr maxx, anyone?), so it doesn't really bother me anymore, especially if I can be assured my phone will last at least one full day without regard to how much I use it. I'm not a "power user" so I've rarely had issues with battery life on any phone (except my TBolt when I'm off WiFi for extended periods), but it's nice to not have to worry.
Moto's overlay over ICS isn't so bad, it even has auto-reorganization when you move widgets/apps around on the homescreens (like jelly bean). I loathed Sense on my TBolt after having a completely vanilla experience on my OG Droid, and vanilla JB is one of the main reasons I picked up a Nexus 7 at launch. Anyway, on the razr m, I like the quick settings "homepage" much better than having the same settings in the notification pane. It frees up space for an extra notification or two and shows the actual names of each of the settings (not that I forget what each of the icons is, just that it seems to be a bit faster), which is a win-win in my book. Also, I like that it only comes with 1 homescreen as standard. Having a ton of widgets on your various homescreens has always mystified me. If I need to see what's going on within an app, I'll open it, and to me it's always felt like extra labor to have to swipe through all your homescreens to see what's going on. Maybe on a tablet with the much greater screen real estate it makes sense (I'm a huge fan of the chameleon launcher).
Overall, it seems like my perfect phone. The only downside is I'll have to buy it outright to keep my unlimited data (ugh), so I'm probably just going to get the developer edition (which is actually probably an upside ).Riding the lightning. - 09-13-2012, 01:49 PM #13
Re: Hands on opinion with the Razr M
I ordered a BNIB one off eBay on Tuesday night and it should be here tomorrow (I am PRETTY sure that it was one given away at the announcement.).
Since I don't get mine today, I decided to stop by my local Verizon store to check it out (and to pick up some accessories).
Holy-moly this phone is fast! I was VERY presently surprised at how quickly text was 'focused' when zooming in or out of a webpage. The size is awesome and it was much lighter than I thought it would be. I am not a pixel-a-haulic (i kept the iPad2 because the 'Retina' display on the iPad3 wasn't that big of a deal to me) but the screen looked great to me! I tried taking a picture and it looked as good as my iPhone 4, so I'm not worried.
I really hope that people see how great of a deal this phone is... I am looking forward to getting mine tomorrow! - 09-13-2012, 06:07 PM #14
Re: Hands on opinion with the Razr M
All that I can say is this is a great little phone. It does everything nicely.
Re: Hands on opinion with the Razr M
My two cents
Got mine this morning. I hard to travel out of town to Kissimmee, FL for a meeting. We got there early and I asked a coworker to Google where the local VZW store was to see if we had time to stop. Walked in when it opened and walked out in time for my meeting.
Got it with 40% battery but the meeting location had no service and drained to 17% pretty quick with little use BUT it was also struggling to pull down 60+ apps. I didn't bother to try to stop it.
What little I have been able to pay with it I like it. I am coming from the Thunderbolt (I jumped to the Galaxy Nexus but I didn't like the size or the way it did t in my hand compared to the TB so I went back and the wife got the Nexus) this phone is a waif compared to the TB and FAST.
There has been no lag, everything loads quick, 4G is pulling 20+MB down consistently. I like that the native email app and the sms app has dark themes.
The screens stacking to the right takes some to get used to as well as left for quick settings.
Display is nice but if I look real close, like up to my nose, I can see pixels but I have to really look for it.
One thing I do not like at all is the Google search bar is at the top of every page. I disabled it and it goes away but the widgets and apps do not use the vacant space.
The fit, finish, and build is great. My biggest test will be the battery life. I am SO tired of carrying spare batteries for the TB, if I can get from waking up to leaving work I will be happy. I can shut 4G off on the Thunderbolt and not get that.
I plan to abuse the heck out of this thing for 13 days and decide whether to turn it in, keep it, or give it to the wife and get the Maxx HD.I have sworn upon the alter of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.

Re: Hands on opinion with the Razr M
I just picked up the M as my personal phone to replace my old Dinc. I love this phone! It has a great form factor and feels perfect in the hand. The kevler back doesn't thrill me but otherwise it does feel pretty solid. It's zippy and responsive. I like the camera better than my Gnex, but that isn't saying much. The battery life is good and lasted almost a full day after a 4 hour of playing tunes during my marathon. I think the skin is pretty light and the few enhancements aren't overdone. I hope Googlrola comes out with more edge to edge phones.

Re: Hands on opinion with the Razr M
So far this phone is really spectacular. I wasn't expecting such a nice piece of equipment from Motorola. I've owned HTC (DInc) and Samsung (GS2) in the past. Speed, form factor and size are excellent. The phone is snappy and such an improvement from my GS2 (a beautiful phone with an amazing camera, but couldn't hold a charge to save it's life and the stock dialer was a joke. Plus it froze constantly.) The M's camera is mediocre at best but I've managed to squeeze a few really good photos out of it using camera360 (will post in the other thread soon). I love, love the size and I was worried it would be hard to downsize from the GS2 (great for watching videos but otherwise just a big, empty screen mostly - boring to look at - and not enough cool widgets to make it worthwhile). I'm surprised I got all this for $99 - and they call it a mid-range phone! Moto M ftw!

Wow that sucks
Re: Hands on opinion with the Razr M
Went to online account and tried to upgrade her line and it alerted me the unlimited data option will go away and I HAVE TO choose the new shared plan. Also tried to transfer the upgrade from a dummy phone line to a smartphone and I had 2gb for $30 or 5gb for $50.

Re: Hands on opinion with the Razr M
For the record, I picked up two Verizon Razr M's for the wife and I. They beat the hell out of the old LG's we hated, along with Sprint which we also learned to loathe. So far so good, we both really like the phone and have had absolutely no issues. She is a light user and wants battery life. As she doesn't demand much from her phone it will stay charged for a couple of days. I use the crap out of mine and it easily stays charged during my 8-10 hour work day. On the weekends I can go more than a day on a charge. Again, I am heavy user, occasionally the phone gets a little bogged down when I am trying to do several things at once, but overall it handles my demands with ease. I have a 32gb card in mine and have it loaded with music as well. In the car I use a holder and frequently run navigation, tunes, and the phone at the same time with no trouble.
Re: Hands on opinion with the Razr M
Yes, unless she gets a phone from a third party OR pays verizon's astronomical "full price".
I asked this question, of Verizon and saved the email reply. They said that I could get another phone from a third party and be good to go in keeping my unlimited data. So, I did!

Mapping Your GIS Data
I've already looked at some GIS applications available on Linux. Programs like GRASS and qgis provide a full set of tools to do GIS. Sometimes, that's really overkill though. You may just want to display some data geographically and create a map. For those cases, there is Thuban, an interactive geographic data viewer.
Most distributions should have a package available within their package management systems. If not, you always can download the sources and build it from scratch. It does depend on Python, among several other libraries, so you need to do a bit of a dependency dance. Binary downloads even are available for Windows and Mac OS X, so you can point your non-Linux friends to them.
If you don't already have data of your own, sources of public-domain GIS data are available on-line. Here are a couple: http://www.naturalearthdata.com/features and http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Shapefiles. The files available on these sites will get you started with SHP files that contain at least basic features for most of the world.
Thuban is not as flexible as full-fledged GIS software and cannot handle very many data file formats. You can use SHP files, DBF database files and various image file formats. In the screenshots for this article, I simply grabbed several of the data files available on-line.
When you start Thuban, you end up with a completely blank slate (Figure 1). The first step is to start a new session, which you can do by selecting the menu item File→New Session (not much will change on the screen). In order to start building your map, you need to add layers that can be manipulated. I started by selecting the menu item Map→Add Layer and adding in an SHP file to give me the basic geographic attributes for my home province of New Brunswick (Figure 2). This includes several different geographical items, such as water, river banks and parks. The default display is not very interesting yet (Figure 3).
Figure 1. Starting Thuban gives you a blank slate.
Figure 2. Adding a new layer opens a file selection dialog where you can choose an SHP file.
Figure 3. By default, Thuban just displays all of the data with a single symbol color.
You can edit the way a layer is displayed either by double-clicking the layer within the list in the legend pane or by right-clicking the layer of interest and selecting Properties. This will pop up a new window (Figure 4). In this case, I selected the "type" field within the classification pane. The easiest choice at this point is to click the Generate Class button. The Generate Classification window will pop up, where you can click on the Retrieve From Table button to get a list of the possible values. I accepted the default gray-scale mapping for the colors, giving four new entries in the layer properties. But this is not very interesting either, yet. Selecting each of the new properties, you can edit the symbol and change the colors for each of the types (Figure 5). If you want to have a preview of what this will look like, you can click the Try button. If it doesn't quite look right, you always can click the Revert button to undo the changes and try something else.
Figure 4. Each layer has a properties window where you can control how the data gets displayed.
Figure 5. Using the Generate Class button is a shortcut to get you started.
Although every map begins with a single layer, it is very rare that a single layer is enough to show all the details you may want to have displayed. In this example, I don't have any roads on my map. A separate SHP file is available that has this information, however. So, I clicked on the menu item Map→Add Layer and added the file roads.shp. Opening up the properties dialog shows that this particular SHP file has several different attributes to play with. For now, I selected four different road types and highlighted them with four different colors. There is still a default color for any road types other than the four I selected. To make them go away on the map, you can select the default property and simply make it transparent. Then, only the four selected road types will show up. Now the map is starting to look a bit more interesting, and I need to start worrying about what order the layers are in.
Thuban will draw layers in the order they appear in the legend list, starting at the bottom and working its way up. You can move a particular layer up our down by selecting it and then using the buttons at the top of the legend pane.
Another type of layer you can use is an image layer. Obviously, the image needs to be geo-referenced in some way. Thuban supports the geoTIFF file format. If you place your image at the bottom of the layer list, you then can draw on top of it with the data in the SHP files.
To manipulate the map itself, Thuban uses a sort of mode system. To zoom in, you need to select the zoom button. Then, you either can use click and drag to select a region to zoom in on or simply click a spot on the map to re-center and zoom in. Once you have zoomed in, you can use the pan tool to move the view window around the map to highlight different regions. There are buttons to zoom you to specific scales such that the entire map is visible. This always takes you back to the default map view.
Two tools allow you to work with individual elements from an SHP file. The first is an information tool that pops up a detail window for any element you select. The second is a label tool. When you select an element, a dialog window pops up allowing you to select one of the properties to be displayed as a label.
Once you have a map you're happy with, you probably will want to save it for later use. Because Thuban works with sessions, all of your work in generating the map will be saved as a session within Thuban, as long as you remember to save it by clicking the menu item File→Save Session.
But, this doesn't help much if you want to use your map outside Thuban. There is an option to export a map as an SVG file by using the menu item Extensions→Write SVG Map. This is not the most efficient output available, however. My simple example here blew up to more than 50MB for a single map with two layers.
The other option is to print your map. Although you can print to actual paper, for a hard copy, you also can print to a file using the generic PostScript printer. This generates a PostScript file that will be a bit more manageable. You also can convert this PostScript file to other formats with relative ease. So, to get a PDF of your map, you can print to a PostScript file and then convert it to PDF with the ps2pdf utility. Now you have a map that you can share with friends and family.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago: a guide for families with young kids
Wednesday, February 09, 2011
Planning day trips for the under-4 set means scaling things down to tot-sized capabilities. Thinking a little smaller will boost your enjoyment of the day, empower your little one and, ultimately, help you step out more often.
These three pint-sized outings start from the same Lincoln Park Zoo parking lot hub and are timed to end before momentous meltdowns ensue.
The lakeshore section of Lincoln Park is one of Chicago's best spots for short, cheap trips, all doable in less than a day.
How far can you expect a 3-year-old to walk? "It varies with each child," says pediatrician Dr. Lisa Thornton, "but even a few blocks is on the outside limit." Travel light with one sturdy backpack, but be sure to include:
- Some cash. Both the zoo's carousel and train are $2.75 a ride, cash only (standing adults have to pay, too).
- Lots of water. Try to get kids to sip some water (not juice) every 10 minutes or so.
- A stroller, sturdy kid carrier or wagon. Encourage kids under 3 to walk some, but expect to carry or give rides, too.
- Sunscreen/hats/sunglasses.
- Snacks. Feed little ones some yogurt and carbs before you start-avoid sugar at this point. Take a snack every half hour or so-fruit and peanut-free trail mix is good. After the trip, you can have that cookie.
- Potty breaks. Expect little ones to have to relieve their bladders at least once an hour.

SOURCE Bates White Economic Consulting
WASHINGTON, Dec. 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Bates White is pleased to announce that Dr. Donald Stockdale has joined the firm as a Partner in the Antitrust & Competition and the Communications & Media practices. Dr. Stockdale previously spent 17 years at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) where he held numerous positions, culminating in his appointment as Deputy Chief and Chief Economist of the Wireline Competition Bureau.
During his time at the FCC, Dr. Stockdale played a central role in telecommunications policymaking and competition enforcement. He led the review of major wireline mergers and had leadership roles in the review of significant wireless, media, and satellite mergers. He also led the FCC's effort to reform intercarrier compensation in 2008. Dr. Stockdale helped to develop much of the Commission's current approach to market definition, merger analysis, and analysis of competition and market power. In addition, he frequently served as the Commission's expert advising international telecommunications regulators on local competition, pricing, universal service, mergers, and other antitrust topics.
George Rozanski, co-chair of Bates White's Antitrust & Competition practice, commented, "Don Stockdale is a fine economist and a seasoned public policy analyst. He is a tremendous addition to help us continue the expansion of our Communications & Media practice. Don's expertise will be invaluable in helping our clients analyze competition policy and other public policy issues in the telecommunications industry." Dr. Stockdale joins Bates White's group of former FCC leaders, which includes former FCC Chief Economists Joe Farrell, Marius Schwartz, Gregory Crawford, Leslie Marx, Marty Perry, and David Sappington.
Dr. Stockdale added, "I look forward to helping Bates White clients address significant and complex antitrust and public policy issues, especially in the telecommunications industry. I am excited to be joining a firm recognized for its analytical strength and creativity."
Prior to joining Bates White, Dr. Stockdale was a partner at Mayer Brown LLP, where he represented clients in antitrust and telecommunications regulatory matters. Earlier in his career, he was an attorney at Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP, where he specialized in US and European antitrust law. Following that, he was an Assistant Professor at the Robert H. Smith School of Business, where he taught Business and Public Policy and Advanced Business Law. Dr. Stockdale received a JD and a PhD degree in Economics from Yale University, and BA degrees from King's College, Cambridge University and Yale College.
Dr. Stockdale is active in both the ABA's Antitrust Section, where he is the Vice Chair of the Economics Committee, and the Federal Communications Bar Association, where he is co-chair of the Transactional Practice Committee.

Education on the edge
I attended the local launch of the UNESCO Education for All (EFA) Global Monitoring Report (GMR) 2012 on a sultry Friday morning at Tanzania's National Museum. This year the thematic focus was on 'Youth and Skills: Putting Education to Work'. It included a well crafted discourse on the importance of giving all young people access to skills, which led to a lively debate.
Foundational skills are needed by youth who have missed out on basic education or attended schooling of such low quality - a sad but common phenomena in Africa that many cannot effectively read, learn or calculate. Most also need to strengthen their transferable skills, such as more generic abilities to problem solve, teamwork, communicate and so forth. Finally, technical and vocational skills assist in direct preparation for jobs both formal and informal - the majority of young Africans do not have the luxury of salaried jobs or welfare assistance of any sort.
The report makes an argument for certain western countries to redirect 'recycled' aid provided as tertiary scholarships (for developing country students to come and study aboard) and use this instead for building skills capacity within countries. An example cited reported that for the cost of a single scholarship to Japan, 229 young people could have accessed secondary education in Nepal.
Over the last decade the Department for International Development's (DFID) support in education, and that of many donors, has largely been targeted towards the drive for universal access to basic education, to some extent at the expense of other EFA goals such as youth learning and combating adult illiteracy. The somewhat crude, but still sensible, counter argument goes that educating kids properly in the first place is the most efficient way to get the foundational and to some extent transferable skills in place early. In Zimbabwe (where I worked until recently) the school system collapsed in 2007, but adult literacy was still well over 90% and skilled Zimbabweans educated in the 1980-90s remain in demand all over the world.
The Global Campaign for Education (GCE) recently released a critique of DFID's operational plans Equity and inclusion for all in education and as The Guardian's Global Development reported, called for 'a clear strategy to ensure equity and the inclusion of all marginalised groups across all the countries in which it (DFID) works'. GCE notes the work DFID is doing on gender inequities in education - the Girls Education Challenge Fund is about to launch major initiatives in ten countries - but urges for more coherent support for marginalised groups, in particular the disabled.
I would personally comment that GCE's perspective, while there is more to do and the report is helpful in reminding us of the inequities that prevail, it is perhaps unrealistic in what it expects DFID may achieve. Enrolment rates (if you can measure them - a big if) for disabled kids, disadvantaged ethnic minorities, religious groups, nomads and urban street kids are usually far below that of mainstream, able bodied children in many societies and no amount of support and policy work is able to easily impact this hard reality. This somewhat harsh reality is clearly articulated in the Global Monitoring Report 2010: Reaching the Marginalised. DFID's operational plans outline support proposals for some of the poorest countries on earth, but are not blueprints to run those countries; funding available from donors and countries own budgets is limited and hard to deploy effectively, even on more easily identifiable objectives.
Programmes and innovate pilots also get DFID support and permeate out to demonstrate better practice and challenge stigma, usually without UK branding. When I lived in Kano, Northern Nigeria, it was impossible to ignore the plight of the Almajiri - street boys who live away from homes with spiritual leaders (mallams), reciting the Quran and begging for food. The Education Sector Support Programme in Nigeria (ESSPIN) introduced simple secular study and feeding for some of these deprived boys, which promotes tolerance in a region now riven by an extremist insurgency.
Being disabled myself I take a lot of interest in inclusive education in developing countries - the reality is disturbing. Inclusive education policies are not too difficult to develop from a template based upon those of western countries where resources are measured in the thousands of US$'s per child and society is generally supportive. But talk to the parent of a hearing impaired child and they may tell you the last place on earth they want their child enrolled is in a mainstream government school where neglect and perhaps bullying are the only lessons on offer. Special needs schools and general inclusive awareness for all teachers are part of the answer, but in rural Africa the support needed for meaningful learning is not actually present for many 'regular kids'.
I supported research into inclusive education needs in Vietnam a few years ago and was told, in a remote ethnic minority village, that no child in a school of around 500 students used or needed glasses. The 'spectrum' learning difficulties that are trending in the West are certainly not on the agenda in areas such as rural Tanzania where belief in evil spirits and witchcraft lead to albino children being excluded and even killed for ritual purposes. Talking recently to the head of Tanzania's education statistical unit, he agreed that his data was unreliable and that whilst disabled kids were reported as making up only 0.3% (28,000 of 8.2 million) of the 2012 primary enrolment, it wasn't possible to estimate the disabled population out of school or to target them in such a vast country.
Aspiring to reach all children, however disadvantaged or marginalised is of course worthy, but at times the 'inconvenient truth' of how societies are, and how they evolve, means that change will come slowly and in patterns not predictable by development actors.
This is a really interesting blog that raises some good points. I didn't know about the accusations of witchcraft in rural areas of Tanzania. I have heard it happen in Nigeria before through the work of Stepping Stones Nigeria. Education is so important for the future of a country. If funds are limited, perhaps governments of developing countries prioritise getting an education for all Primary school aged children before considering the disabled? Or is it more to do with changing attitudes? It's difficult to generalise of course, and in Tanzania, it appears to be the latter - would you agree?
Good luck with reducing marginalisation within education systems in the developing world.
A good succinct article which, as usual, raises more questions than it provides answers.
I do like the 'hard ' reality comment of 'how societies are'...attitudinal change really takes some effort. Like Ian I have also been troubled by the attitudes towards albino children in Tanzania. While in country I watched an episode of 'Africa magic' -it started well when it addressed the issue of witchcraft and I settled down thinking TV with its powerful influence could really challenge 'traditional' beliefs -but by the end of the episode it had only reinforced the attitudes towards the unbridled power of male 'shamans'. A missed opportunity , but I assume this type of programme is just part of the web of attitude formers. Does DFID have processes that monitor media in the countries in which it works and then acts on that information.
Thanks for the article, Ian.
Both centrally and to a more limited extent in country DFID monitors the media, mostly via news feeds.
For example recently a case came to light of two people being buried alive with a third deceased person, who they were accused of killing, linked to witchcraft. Superstition still runs disturbingly deep in some communities.
To me this article says "marginalized/children with disability are too punk to deal with" in Tanzanian context! And that its a wasting of resources to reach those marginalized people as change comes slowly!
I have a different experience! Last year I was blessed to work on the DPO Mentoring project in four districts of Kilombero, Morogoro municipal, Hai and Moshi manicipal and I found that its possible to question the culture and practices and bring changes in perception and attitudes among many people in Tanzania.
In just one a few months of working hand in hand with people with disabilities there are reported changes in attitude, more reporting about disabled children locked up in housed, increase in enrollment and more visibility of disability in local communities and district councils.
Its only when we driven to despair that we make it even more complex. However, it is also my opinion that DIFID's has that moral obligation of understanding and supporting initiatives that help to make a difference because every child has a right to education regardless of who they are and how difficult they might be to reach.

Few, if any, yacht designs have as long and interesting a timeline as the Westport 112 motoryacht. This model's longevity is due entirely to its popularity with buyers, as evidenced by the 50 hulls built to date. Currently being delivered at the rate of three per year, there is no end in sight.
This level of long-term commercial success requires both new and repeat buyers. It's not surprising that owners of smaller yachts, Westport and otherwise, would look to the 112 as their desires and resources grew. While that is the norm, one buyer taking delivery of a new 2012 model traded in his 1998 Westport 112.
Such an exchange indicates continuing satisfaction with the construction and functionality of the model; a cordial relationship with the builder and its after-sale support services; and a craving for the enhanced features available only on the newer version of the yacht. Among the most prominent of those elements is the newly optional arrangement featuring a main-deck master suite.
Phil Purcell, Westport's longtime vice president of sales, says the new arrangement was proposed to reignite interest among buyers during the economic slump that first hit the marine industry in 2008. The layout was intended to appeal to Middle Eastern yachtsmen, and the first hull with an on-deck master was delivered to a client in Lebanon. Subsequent sales of the Westport 112, however, have been to North American buyers. Purcell is quick to point out that both of the arrangement plans are and will remain available, but he predicts that three out of four new builds will have the on-deck master stateroom.
Click here to see a full photo gallery of the Westport 112.
Purcell certainly knows his stuff when it comes to yachts and the buyers, but I'd bet his prediction will hold true only until Westport's team of innovative designers, under the leadership of naval architect Taylor Olson and engineering coordinator Tom Fox, develops yet another incarnation of the venerable model. To understand just how Westport has arrived where it is today, let's take a look at the origins and the journey of the yard and the Westport 112 from inception to the present.
Westport Shipyard was founded in 1964 in the southwestern Washington town of the same name. Initially, it focused on building vessels for the local commercial fishing industry, but word of the yard's quality work soon spread and others came knocking. Brothers Rick and Randy Rust bought the shipyard in 1977. The Rusts brought a broader outlook to the company and soon added commercial passenger vessels to Westport's portfolio.
An attractive pair of 92-foot passenger ferries serving California's Catalina Island generated a ton of publicity for the yard, and their offshore performance brought inquiries for other applications. Having heavily invested in specialized equipment to speed the production and enhance the quality of fiberglass hulls, superstructures and other molded parts, Westport received orders from custom builders around the Pacific Northwest to supply their lamination needs.

Joe Bastardi
- Bachelor's degree, meteorology, Penn State University (1978). [1]
Joe Bastardi is a weather forecaster and climate change skeptic. He worked for AccuWeather [1] from 1978 until 2011 when he joined WeatherBELL Analytics LLC where he now works with Joseph D'Aleo [2], the climate change skeptic who founded Icecap.us [3].
WeatherBELL offers an industry specific package (PDF) [4] for "energy companies, hedge funds, or related businesses," which includes "daily videos produced by" Bastardi, a "daily interpretation" from Bastardi of NOAA's report, forecasts, and a weekly web conference call with Bastardi.
AccuWeather previously [5]worked with [5]the Global Climate Coalition (GCC) [6], a group that strongly opposed greenhouse gas reduction policies when it was active. GCC disbanded in 2002.
Bastardi is also a Senior Advisor at the American Tradition Institute (ATI) [7], a group denounced by the American Association for the Advancement of Science for contributing to an "environment that inhibits the free exchange of scientific findings and ideas." [2], [3]
Stance on Climate Change
"We will get our answer in the next 20 to 30 years. And we don't have to panic. We don't have to rush around because if I'm right, the earth's temperature is going to cool a degree to a degree and a half Fahrenheit the next 20 to 30 years. And if it does, then that's a game, set, match. You know [CO2] is not the driver that people say." [4]
Key Quotes
"How do these people have any credibility? How do they get away with this? It's mind boggling that its gotten to a point where the EPA is dictating policy based on what is an obvious fraud, or if you want to be gentle about it, creates enough doubt to back off." [5]
"Common sense dictates that a trace gas needed for life on the planet would not be the cause for destroying life on the planet. Common sense dictates that what has happened before without man can happen again with man. Common sense would dictate that you not believe me, or any one else, but go look for YOURSELF." [6]
"CO2 cannot cause global warming. I'll tell you why. It doesn't mix well with the atmosphere, for one. For two, its specific gravity is 1 1/2 times that of the rest of the atmosphere. It heats and cools much quicker. Its radiative processes are much different. So it cannot -- it literally cannot cause global warming." [11]
According to Bastardi, human-induced climate change "contradicts what we call the 1st law of thermodynamics. Energy can be neither created nor destroyed. So to look for input of energy into the atmosphere, you have to come from a foreign source." [12]
"The coming cooling of the planet overall will return it to where it was in the '60s, '70s, and '80s." [14]
Key Deeds
Joe Bastardi has repeatedly appeared on Fox News and other news networks to discuss his views on climate change.
Media Transparency reported [8] on how Bastardi has "who is a weather forecaster, not a climate researcher, has made inaccurate claims about climate science on multiple occasions. . ." [7]
A sample of his appearances on Fox:
- [Fox News, The O'Reilly Factor, 9/09/09]
- [Fox Business Network, Imus in the Morning, 12/11/09]
- [Fox Business Network, Cavuto, 12/11/09]

ThinkProgress offers a debunking of some of Bastardi's clips as a climate change "expert" in an article titled "Joe Bastardi is 'Completely Wrong' and 'Does Not Understand the Very Basics of the Science', Climatologists Explain." [9]
According to Media Matters, Bastardi has repeatedly misinformed the Fox News audience. Bastardi has gone as far as stating that global warming "Contradicts" The 1st Law Of Thermodynamics [8]. [8]
Kerry Emanual, an atmospheric scientist at MIT, spoke with Media Matters via e-mail:
"I might point out that Bastardi's background is in weather forecasting, not climate science. Asking him to comment on the science of climate change is rather like asking a country doctor to comment on the latest developments in biomedical research. The media really ought to know better."
Discussing statements made by Bastardi from multiple Fox appearances, Keith Seitter, the Executive Director of the American Meteorological Society stated, "I have not seen Mr. Bastardi on these programs, but several components of the quotes you provide are scientifically incorrect."
NASA climatologist Gavin Schmidt added: "Bastardi is attempting to throw out 150 years of physics." Physicist Richard Muller added, "He seems very confused." [13]
May 21 - 23, 2012
Joe Bastardi was a speaker [10]at the Heartland Institute's Seventh International Conference on Climate Change (ICCC7).
DeSmogBlog researched the co-sponsors behind Heartland's ICCC7 [11] and found that they had collectively received over $67 million from ExxonMobil, the Koch Brothers [12]and the conservative Scaife family foundations [13].
At the end of the conference Joseph Bast revealed that the Heartland Institute has no plans for future ICCCs [14].
November 29, 2010
Bastardi posted a video on AccuWeather [15] with the potentially libelous caption, "Is the US NSIDC cooking the ice books? Sure looks that way if one is looking at all sites."
AccuWeather took the video down on December 5. Joe Romm of ClimateProgress had posted on the topic the same day, and had asked the NSIDC to respond. NSIDC scientist Julienne Stroeve had this to say to Romm:
"One problem with Joe Bastardi's comparison is that with the JAXA data set he's comparing to the 2006 line, not 2007. In JAXA, this year is a bit below 2007 right now (though there's some missing data).
"It's important to remember that different sites use different algorithms (methods to derive sea ice from the raw data), different cutoffs of concentration (15% vs 30%), and sometimes different sensors (SSM/I vs AMSR-E). Studies that compare different algorithms have repeatedly found that differences between algorithms can be large. Generally, the largest differences are found in summer, with differences of more than ± 20 %. In winter, differences between the different algorithms are usually less than ± 10 %. No single algorithm has been found to be clearly superior under all conditions. The differences between satellite-derived estimates of sea-ice extent and so-called ground-truth observations are of similar magnitude. Nevertheless, while the absolute differences between algorithms and between with non-passive-microwave data sets are relatively large, they are generally constant over time.
"Hence, trends in sea-ice extent that are estimated from different algorithms agree much more closely than do the absolute values of extent. Hence, trend estimates provide a rather high level of confidence in estimates of sea ice change and variability. In terms of absolute values, estimates of total sea-ice extent are more reliable than estimates of sea-ice area. For the former, a certain concentration threshold (often 15% ice cover) is defined, and the size of any grid cell covered by more ice than this threshold contributes fully to total sea-ice extent. For ice area, however, only the truly ice-covered fraction of each grid cell contributes, giving rise to higher uncertainty.
"Finally, it seems Joe Bastardi is unclear as to how standardized anomalies are derived. Standardized anomalies are not the same thing as anomalies, which is defined by the actual deviation from the mean (climatology for that day or month). A standardized anomaly is further divided by the climatological standard deviation for that day/month. When seasonal variations are present within a set of data, it is often helpful to express the data in terms of standardized anomalies. They generally provide more information about the magnitude of the anomalies because influences of dispersion have been removed." [16]
September 20, 2010
Bastardi predicted that Arctic Sea Ice extent would return to 2005 levels, claiming at the time, "We are going to recover dramatically here with a cold that is coming over the next 9 to 12 months!" [15]
This forcecast, like many of his other assertions, proved false [16].

Pot pollution problem
Police chiefs say illegal plots rife with pesticides, violence
Illegal marijuana growing presents a threat to the environment, according to a leading police administrators' organization.
The International Association of Chiefs of Police condemned the actions of marijuana cultivators in a list of resolutions it released Monday, stating the operations have caused "severe" damage to the environment.

Licensed farmers grow all kinds of vegetables and tobacco plants in their fields. If they were polluting the environment there would be complaints. They aren't polluting and not every pesticide is toxic. Gardeners grow legal crops, farmers grow legal crops and there is no violence.
Make a plant illegal and a weed that holds almost no value sky rockets to as much as 17,000 percent tax free profit because of supply and demand. Weeds are worth peanuts until you make them illegal.
Make tobacco illegal and they would be grown by criminals for profit too and the violence would follow as gangs fight to control their turfs to curb the business income.
Legally marijuana would not to be worth thousands of dollars a pound. End prohibition, you end the criminal element, that removes the violence, give control to licensed farmers so they can grow it in their fields and that will end the violence associated with prohibition.
As long as we have marijuana prohibition the cops keep their arrest record numbers up. End marijuana prohibition and they have to focus on other crimes, not just locking people up for growing a plant or possessing marijuana.
It's not a surprise the police chiefs would complain about this now as marijuana legalization is entering ballots in 3 states and medical marijuana is legal in over 17 states.
As long as marijuana remains illegal law enforcement gets Government grant money. They don't get grants for arresting people for murder and rape. They get grants when they make a pot arrest. Marijuana prohibition is job security and cash security. for law enforcement when it comes to seizing property and money. "
