Globe Highlights Failure Of Justice In Wellesely Fatal Hit And RunWritten by Boston Biker on Feb 15
The globe had a front page article today about the lack of an indictment for Dana McCoomb, the truck driver who killed cyclist Alex Motsenigos last year.
It's a common refrain among local cyclists: Want to kill someone and get away with it? Run them over while they're on a bicycle.
Within Boston's growing cycling community, a perceived lack of criminal prosecution of motorists involved in fatal bike crashes has been a regular source of outrage in recent years. That ire came to a fever pitch last week, when a grand jury investigation of a Wellesley bike crash with seemingly copious evidence — video footage, witnesses defending the deceased bicyclist, a truck driver who had fled the scene and had an extensive history of driving infractions — came back with no charges.
The grand jury's decision, bicyclists contend, is evidence of a wider problem: Most people do not respect the rights of bike riders.
"The message that we got from this particular case," said David Watson, executive director of the Massachusetts Bicycle Coalition, "is that, clearly, members of the general public still don't care enough about bicyclists' safety."
As if to prove the entire point of the article, the comment section is a wasteland…depressing.

New Globe Editor Brian McGrory Hates CyclistsWritten by Boston Biker on Dec 20
Oh great, of all the people who could have taken over as editor for the globe this guy had to take the reigns.
As Mayor Tom Menino prepares to roll out an ambitious bicycle-sharing program on the streets of our great city this month, offering hundreds of bikes for short-term rental all across town, I might urge him to go in a slightly different direction.
He ought to ban all bicyclists from Boston instead.
Ban them as in, here's the city line, Lance, there's a bike rack. Lock it up, and flag yourself a nice air-conditioned cab. Maybe you won't be sweating so much when you walk into work.
That's right, the new editor of the globe is known bike hater, and all together irrational and misguided man, Brian McGory
We can only hope the globe doesn't become another useless rag that spends a large part of its time "defending" cars, and touting cyclists as the scourge of the city.
(thanks Sean for the heads up)

Biking To The FutureWritten by Boston Biker on Jul 09
There is an awesome post in the globe about the future of biking in Boston as well as a great overview of the new super awesome bike/ped bridge under the Zakim Bridge.
BIKE PATHS, BIKE LANES, BIKE RACKS, AND CYCLE TRACKS. Bike this and bike that. Cities and towns across Greater Boston are peddling cycling construction projects this summer like never before: If it isn't a Newton city committee proposing 30 new miles of bike lanes, it's Malden and Everett converting downtown railroad beds into a multiuse path, or Charlestown and Jamaica Plain residents lobbying for bike improvements once antiquated highway overpasses are torn down.
Meanwhile, at 698 feet, the longest bicycle and pedestrian bridge ever built in Boston is expected to open this month. The North Bank Bridge, paid for with $10 million in federal stimulus funds, begins under the Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Memorial Bridge in Charlestown's Paul Revere Park and ends in Cambridge's North Point Park. Looping like a giant steel roller coaster over four sets of railroad tracks and a boat ramp, it is a sight to behold, whether you own a bicycle or not.
With so many people buzzing about biking — none louder than Mayor Tom Menino — could Greater Boston transform before our eyes into a world-class bicycling region like Copenhagen, where a third of the workforce pedals to the office each day? Is the Big Dig, which redefined the city a decade ago, already passe? Transportation planners and bicycle advocates say we're on that path but still a long way from achieving such dreams, in part because we haven't always pedaled forward.

Evil, Jerk Face Doctor Gets Five Years In PrisonWritten by Boston Biker on Jan 11
Remember that asshole "doctor" (do no harm…what?) who pulled in front of those two cyclists in California then slammed on the brakes, he got five years in prison for that. Good to see just a little justice in this world, I would like to think that when you intentionally try to kill someone you go to jail for it (even if the weapon is a car). Now if only we can make it so when you shoot a guy in the head you get the appropriate sentence.
A former emergency room doctor who deliberately braked so that two bicyclists rammed into his car in a road rage assault was sentenced Friday to five years in state prison.
Christopher Thompson, 60, wept and apologized to the two injured riders before he was sentenced in Los Angeles County Superior Court.
"The physical and mental scars are my fault," he said.
Prosecutors had sought an eight-year term while Thompson's attorney argued for probation.
Thompson, who worked at Beverly Hospital in Montebello, has been jailed since he was convicted in November of assault with a deadly weapon, battery with serious bodily injury, reckless driving and mayhem.
Thompson deliberately hit his brakes, causing the bicyclists to hit the back of his Infiniti sedan on July 4, 2008, prosecutors said. One rider smashed through the back window, breaking his nose and front teeth. The other crashed to the pavement, separating his shoulder.

PadGadget's iPad Tips: How to Remove Duplicate Songs in iTunes Match
If you subscribe to iTunes Match, there is a chance that you have experienced an issue with duplicate content on your iPad. The reason is that iTunes Match adds music to your device. It doesn't replace it. So, if you already had music on your iPad or you sync your music when you connect to iTunes, both versions (iCloud and local) will show up.

Hi: 8° Lo:2°
By David Lawrence Friday 18 July 2014 Updated: 18/07 10:03
A HANDFUL of Redditch residents behind a five day fund-raising campaign for Gaza admit they are amazed by the generosity of the public.
Five friends set themselves a target to raise £1,000 in five days only to hand over more than four times that amount with £4,258 being donated to help those suffering in the war-torn area.
And a spokesman for the Redditch Gaza Appeal 2014 said other fund-raising projects could follow.
"We felt so strongly about the tensions in Gaza that we wanted to make a stand for peace and freedom for the citizens of Gaza by setting ourselves a challenge to raise £1,000 in five days," he said.
"We planned to ask 50 people on our contacts lists to spare £20 each with all funds going to the UK registered charity Ummah Welfare Trust's 'Gaza under attack Appeal'.
"We put the message out on social media where it started trending but we underestimated the support we would be given - it has been an absolutely amazing response from the people of Redditch."
The Ummah Welfare Trust operates a 100 per cent donations policy and are working on the ground in Gaza to provide emergency medical packs and food packs.

No. Outbreak is an original screenplay by American screenwriting partners, Laurence Dworet, MD and Robert Roy Pool. Although the story is fictional, it was inspired by an outbreak of Ebola hemorrhagic fever in Africa in 1976 and similar outbreaks in Virginia, Texas, the Philippines, and Italy. In the case of this movie, the virus is called the "Motaba virus".
That scene, which takes place 30 years prior to the setting of the movie, is supposed to show that Major General Donald McClintock (Donald Sutherland) and Brigadier General Billy Ford (Morgan Freeman) knew from the getgo that the Motaba virus had the potential of being made into a biological weapon, since they were the ones who recovered it when it first appeared 30 years earlier. They ordered that the encampment be bombed as they flew away in their helicopter. Under McClintock's plan, it was their goal to obtain a sample of the virus and then wipe it out completely so that no one but the U.S. Army had control of it.
The source of the U.S. outbreak was a female monkey, captured in Africa and illegally transported into the US. When Rudy Alverez (Daniel Chodos), the pet shop owner, refused possession of the monkey because he wanted a male, the monkey was set free near Cedar Creek, California. Unfortunately, the monkey passed the virus to both Rudy and to Jimbo Scott (Patrick Dempsey), the monkey's deliverer. Jimbo then flew to Boston where he kissed his girlfriend, and they both died hours later without infecting anyone else. Back in Cedar Creek, the virus was passed to a lab technician when a vial of Rudy's blood exploded in a centrifuge, and the lab technician spread it during a coughing fit at a movie theater. At this point, the virus was transmitted by direct contact, e.g., Rudy was scratched by the monkey, the lab tech was sprayed with the blood, the droplets of the technician's spittle landed on people around him. The virus subsequently mutated, becoming airborne, and was, thus, passed to other patients in the Cedar Creek Hospital via the airducts.
Although Colonel Sam Daniels (Dustin Hoffman), the USAMRIID virologist who investigated another recent outbreak of the Motaba virus in Zaire, is experienced with the virus and would be an ideal person to send to Cedar Creek, McClintock and Ford do not want him to find out that they knew about the Motaba virus from 30 years ago. Consequently, they claim that the Center for Disease Control (CDC) is handling the outbreak as a civilian problem, and they order Sam to investigate the outbreak of another virus in New Mexico. However, Sam changes his flight destination and flies to California instead where he discovers that his ex-wife Robby (Rene Russo), a doctor with the CDC, is heading up the CDC investigation.
Because E-1101 was developed from the strain of Motaba virus as it existed 30 years ago and was ineffective against the newly-mutated strain.
Once Sam and Major Salt (Cuba Gooding Jr.) learn that the host is a monkey smuggled in from Africa, they frantically begin searching for her before Operation Clean Sweep is carried out, but have to go on the run since McClintock has discredited them to prevent Sam from finding a cure and ruining his plans of covering up the virus. They break into a TV station and go on the air showing a picture of the monkey and asking to hear from anyone who has seen it. A viewer remembers a drawing that her young daughter Kate made of "Betsy", a monkey she says has been playing with her in the backyard. Her mom immediately contacts the CDC. They notify Sam and give them her address in Palisades. Sam and Salt fly their helicopter to the Jeffries' house, where they attempt to get Kate to coax Betsy to come out of the woods. When Betsy shows up, Salt shoots her with a tranquilizer gun. Unfortunately, Lt Col Briggs (Dale Dye) intercepted the call from the CDC to Sam, and McClintock is also on his way to Palisades. When Sam contacts Ford, the only thing Ford can do is to delay the bombing and warns him of possible resistance heading his way. McClintock intercepts Sam and Salt on their way back to Cedar Creek and orders them to fly to Travis Air Force Base or be blown up, but Sam refuses. Salt manages to outmaneuver McClintock's aerial squads and get Betsy back to Cedar Creek where the antibodies in her blood are mixed with E-1101 to create an antiserum against the mutated strain of Motaba in time to save Robby. Ford tries to get McClintock to call off Operation Clean Sweep, but McClintock refuses, still wanting to keep the Motaba virus a secret. When Sam finds out that the bomber is on the way, he and Salt intercept it in their helicopter and try to convince the pilots not to drop the bomb. When McClintock orders them to stop listening to Sam and carry out their mission, Ford briefly explains over the radio what they could do to interfere with the bombing much to McClintock's surprise. Salt bears down on the carrier threatening a head-on collision while Sam still tries to explain on the airwaves that they were purposely not told everything on what was going on. While hearing Sam's pleas, the pilots drop the bomb anyway, but over water, not over Cedar Creek. When McClintock orders the pilots to return for re-arming, Ford relieves McClintock of duty and places him under arrest for withholding vital information from the President having seen that McClintock's actions have gone too far, though McClintock swears he'll make sure that Ford goes down for the crime with him. In the final scene, all of the sick residents of Cedar Creek are recovering, and Sam and Robby make up.

Responding to the latest growth figures from the ONS, Mark Littlewood, Director General of the Institute of Economic Affairs argues that further substantial cuts are needed to build on the recovery. He said:
"The latest ONS figures showing growth of 1.2% reveal the absurdity of arguing cuts will trigger a double dip recession. Although the road to recovery will be a rocky one, the overall trend will be better the more strident the action the government takes on cutting public spending.
"Economic growth depends on restoring confidence in the British economy and this requires reducing our national debt significantly. Investors need to know that Britain is serious about re-balancing the books.

Evolution in the Holy Land

I became such an expert in young-earth creationist theology and science that it turned into a wrecking ball for my faith.
The prevailing evangelical view that evolution is in competition with the biblical account of creation sets up students to encounter a false dichotomy, where they feel they must choose between science or their faith.
Science is an honest and noble pursuit, evidence of human intellect and curiosity, and to turn away from these is to deny a very important part of who God created us to be in the first place.
My childhood in the evangelical church gave me the toolkit that led me to eventually accept the evidence for evolution, and marvel at the God who created it all.

The purpose of Jesus's art was to give verbal, visual, and dramatic forms to those complicated and confounding relationships, symmetries, and harmonies between himself, the father and spirit, and between the triune God and the world… Such creative expressions did not and do not make everything clear, but rather resist simple clarity, forcing their hearers to come at the whole complicated truth from a position of intellectual and spiritual humility.
When the boxer and the biologist collided that November evening, they both had a substantial following, and they presented a sharp contrast to the audience: a pugilistic, self-educated fundamentalist evangelist against a suave, sophisticated science writer. When it comes right down to it, not all that different from Ken Ham versus Bill Nye, except that Ham has a couple of earned degrees where Rimmer had none.
The great irony lies here: these partisans are actually leading good-hearted people to reject their faith, precisely because these partisans have convinced these good-hearted people that they must accept a false dichotomy.
This week in origins news, a great collection of articles by key players in the conversation about theology and science, a surprising science fair discovery, and the Apollo 11 anniversary!
We don't have all the answers and never will. And when God says that he is revealed in his creation, I think that means we need to take care of what we have and understand where we came from. The more I understand how things work, the bigger God gets. When he was just a magician pulling things out of a hat, that doesn't even compare to how I see him now!


text: World View: Muslim World Split by Boko Haram Abductions Print article Send a Tip by John J. Xenakis 14 May 2014 post a comment This morning's key headlines from GenerationalDynamics.com Muslim world split by Boko Haram abductions Russia bans U.S. from International Space Station Syria mediator Lakhdar Brahimi resigns in disgust Muslim world split by Boko Haram abductions It's a common Western complaint of Islam that Muslim officials and clerics rarely condemn the acts of Islamist terrorists, or that any such condemnations are rarely as aggressive as Christian condemnation of a terrorist act by other Christians. There have been similar criticisms about the Muslim reaction to the Boko Haram abduction of over 200 young school girls. Within Nigeria itself, there is bitter criticism that the politicians and the army did nothing for weeks, and that Goodluck Jonathan was allegedly even seen dancing the day after the attack. However, as the worldwide public has become aware of this terrorist act, it's caused a fierce debate within the Muslim community -- both among ordinary Muslims and among jihadists. One Muslim, Sydney Casely-Hayford in Ghana, says that Boko Haram reflects flaws in Islam. He argues that the "continuous silence" of Muslim clerics is an indication that Boko Haram is subtly accepted: I have not heard so far one single high ranking, respected Muslim cleric [in Ghana] stand up and say [the activities of Boko Haram] is totally non-Muslim activity; this is not what Islam is all about... You [Islamic Leaders] need to hold a big stage and say so clearly so that we all understand that you are against what is going on. In response, the Coalition of Concerned Muslims says that the accusation of "subtle acceptance" is an absurd and blatant lie, as numerous comments by Muslim Clerics and Muslims in general have been published: His assertion that the "Boko Haram" projects the weakness of Islam as a religion is devoid of logic. It is sad and strange that he has chosen to use the actions of 'Boko Haram' as a yardstick in measuring the strength or otherwise weakness of Islam. It is intellectual dishonesty to judge Islam by way of the behavior of a few deviant followers. A majority of Muslims have conducted themselves well wherever they are located. Under no circumstance should the actions of a few deviant folks be used to describe Islam but rather it is sound and logical to use the actions of the majority of Muslims. Does he not see that the world would be in chaos if Muslims throughout the world were to unite upon violence and aggression? Would it be fair to say the Catholic Church projects the weakness/flaws in Christianity because its priests abuse children? Or the inhumane actions of the Lord's resistance Army in Uganda show that Christianity has flaws? We Muslims have been thought to be just in our dealings and analysis and so we do not draw such flimsy conclusions as done by Mr. Casely Hayford. With Muslims reacting angrily to the Boko Haram abductions, it's perhaps surprising that even jihadists are shocked by the appalling and repulsive nature of the attack. One jihadist was most fearful of revenge attacks, and gave a very interesting historical analysis: Today, there are different sentiments, as the peoples of the [Islamic] nation hear from the channels news that we never hoped to hear – namely, the kidnapping of Muslim and non-Muslim girls and your announcement that you intend to sell them as slaves. This matter, if you proceed with it, will become a dangerous precedent and will bring about grave calamities such as the nation of Islam has never heard of for centuries. Your announcement of 'imprisoning' hundreds of girls will not benefit Islam and the Muslims in any manner. On the contrary, it will reflect tragically not only on their image but also on whatever similar reactions the enemies of Islam will carry out. The [Islamic] nation has enough tragedies as it is. Brothers in [Boko Haram]: if you do this, and sell the girls as prisoners, can you guarantee to your wives, your daughters, your sisters, and your Muslim relatives here and there that the enemies will [not] commit rape against them and will not defile their honor and modesty? Do not open the gates of evil, have mercy on your Muslim sisters, and protect your religion's reputation. Know that not everything that is permitted in Islam is proper to do at all times and in any manner without considering its advantages and disadvantages. Know that imprisonment and enslavement resulting from war between Muslims and infidels are part of reciprocity, and that this was the norm among peoples in ancient times. Today, however, as the act of enslavement between the nations of the world has ceased to exist, and the exchange of prisoners has become the custom, we as Muslims should not initiate this toward our enemy, since it has grave repercussions. Preventing harm takes precedence over making gains, according to famous jurisprudential principle. We do not know what advantage for Islam and the Muslims will be gained if you do this... We appeal to you: Release the girls and do not continue their imprisonment and enslavement. The Muslims today are suffering from enough oppression; do not bring any harm on their honor [i.e. their women]. Not all jihadists were convinced, however. One responded: "On the contrary, [we should] imprison [as much as we can]. Ripping out the hearts of the infidels who have no morals in war is a legitimate administration of justice. As a Muslim, I think that the brothers, the mujahideen in Nigeria, did a good thing. I pray to the great Allah to give them victory and power throughout the land." Citi-Fm (Ghana) and Ghana Web and Memri Russia bans U.S. from International Space Station In retaliation for American sanctions against Russia over the Ukraine situation, Russia's deputy prime minister Dmitry Rogozin announced on Tuesday a series of sanctions against the US: Russia will ban the US from using the International Space Station after 2020, though Russia may continue using it. According to Rogozin, "The Russian segment can exist independently from the American one. The US one cannot." Russia will suspend the operation of GPS satellite navigation system sites on its territory. Russia will no longer permit Russian engines in Atlas 5 rockets used to launch military satellites. Moscow Times and Telegraph (London) Syria mediator Lakhdar Brahimi resigns in disgust When the Syrian war began in 2012, the Arab League and the United Nations appointed former U.N. secretary-general Kofi Annan as a special envoy to bring peace to Syria. Annan formulated a farcical six-point 'peace plan' which said absolutely nothing, so it was not vetoed by Russia in the U.N. Security Council. By August 2012, Syria's president, Bashar al-Assad, had made a fool of Annan enough times that Annan resigned, and he was replaced by 78-year old Algerian diplomat Lakhdar Brahimi. I noticed a difference in tone between the two: whereas Annan sounded pathetic and dishonest, Brahimi sounded realistic and truthful. Brahimi was congratulated on a number of occasions when he got both sides, the al-Assad government and the opposition rebels, to participate in a peace conference in Geneva; once in 2013 and once in February of this year. Syria had previously agreed to discuss a "transitional government body," which meant that either al-Assad would step down or at least that the opposition would have a place in the government. The regime absolutely refused to even put that subject on the meeting agenda. The "peace talks" collapsed once and for all, and Brahimi clearly blamed the Syrian regime and apologized to the Syrian people. The regime was furious at Brahimi after that and considered him to be biased. And why should al-Assad step down? Why should he compromise on anything? The Shia/Alawite regime is being provided with enormous supplies of heavy weapons from Russia, which it can use to conduct its genocidal policies against its Sunni Muslim opponents. The regime has used sarin gas on its own population with impunity. The regime continues to use chemical weapons. Regime helicopters drop huge barrel bombs onto civilian neighborhoods. The barrel bombs contain explosives, screws, nails, and other shrapnel, and allegedly canisters of chlorine and ammonia. When chlorine is inhaled, it reacts with the moisture in the lungs, turning into hydrochloric acid that literally burns the target to death from the inside out. Officials in the al-Assad regime have used electrocution, eye-gouging, strangulation, starvation, and beating on tens of thousands of prisoners on a massive "industrial strength" scale, and do so with complete impunity and in fact with encouragement and support from Russia and Iran. The regime, along with Russian President Vladimir Putin, has repeatedly humiliated and made fools of John Kerry and Barack Obama. The regime has help from Iran's Republican Guard units and from Lebanon's Hezbollah terrorists. The regime has won a number of military victories recently and is gaining ground on the opposition. The regime is going to hold presidential elections in June. These elections will be about as honest as a Soviet election, or the farcical east Ukraine referendum that I reported on yesterday. Al-Assad will be certain to win, and there will be no chance that any Brahimi peace plan will work. So it's absurd to believe that al-Assad would ever compromise on anything. Kofi Annan and Lakhdar Brahimi have been useful idiots for the Assad regime by providing cover for him to continue his criminal acts on civilian Sunnis and cover for the Russians and Iranians to make sanctimonious statements while they support al-Assad's bloody slaughter. It's worth remembering again, as I wrote in 2011 (see "22-Apr-11 News -- Russia seeks to cripple Nato through Libya United Nations politics"), Russia adopted a policy of using the United Nations Security Council to cripple American and Western foreign policy. Putin has been incredibly successful with this policy and has crippled American and Western policy almost completely, most recently in Ukraine. So Lakhdar Brahimi, now 80-years old, stepped down on Tuesday and apologized to the Syrian people once more: It's not very pleasant for me. It's very sad that I leave this position and leave Syria behind in such a bad state. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon promised to appoint a new envoy, but I doubt that there's any hurry. al-Jazeera and BBC KEYS: Generational Dynamics, Nigeria, Boko Haram, al-Qaeda, Ghana, Russia, International Space Station, Dmitry Rogozin, Syria, Bashar al-Assad, Lakhdar Brahimi, Vladimir Putin, John Kerry, Kofi Annan, Ban Ki-moon Permanent web link to this article Receive daily World View columns by e-mail

A man today appeared in court accused of attempting to rape a London woman who jumped from her hotel balcony in India after fearing she was going to be attacked.
The 32-year-old woman from Greenwich leapt from the hotel in Agra - close to the Taj Mahal - after reportedly barricading herself in her room and screaming for help for more than an hour.
The hotel manager, Sachin Chauhan, and a hotel security guard were seized on charges of "molestation" shortly after the incident yesterday morning.
Today police charged Chauhan with an additional charge of attempted rape shortly before a brief hearing at an Agra court.
He denied the charges.
Ashutosh Pandey, the Police Inspector General in Agra, told the Standard: "We have increased the charges against the accused. He is now charged with attempted rape as well as molestation. The intentions of the accused were very clear which is why we added the charge of attempted rape.
"Rape is a heinous crime and we want to make sure we do everything that is possible to make sure the victim gets justice for what happened to her."
The woman, who is now under police guard, said in a witness statement that the manager of the Agra Mahal hotel refused to leave her alone after he knocked on her door at 3.45am saying he wanted to give her an oil massage.
She said: "I refused and asked him to leave but he was insistent. I had to push him out with the door, and then I bolted the door. He remained outside my door trying to get in with his keys until 5am. I was shouting at him to stop harassing me, I told him I wanted him to go.
"I was too scared to leave my room as he was waiting outside. I was kicking the door and shouting for help but no one came."
The woman said another man, believed to be a hotel security guard, joined the manager outside her room after 45 minutes and demanded she unlock the door.
She said: "I shouted at them to stop harassing me but it continued."
After an hour and a quarter spent trying to prevent a feared assault, the woman decided to try and leap to safety and then took a rickshaw to a police station.
She suffered hairline fractures to her legs and was initially being treated at the Sarojini Naidu Medical College in Agra.
She said: "I ran into the road but no one would stop. I begged him [the rickshaw driver] to take me to the tourist police station.
"A man approached him and tried to make him bring me back to the hotel. So I jumped out of the rickshaw and ran some more. The driver caught up with me and said he understood and took me to the police station."
Inspector Pandey added: "The victim was very traumatised yesterday but we are doing everything we can and she is as comfortable as possible and getting all the help she needs before she flies back to the UK."
He added: "We have seized the hotel belonging to the accused, it is sealed and the hotel license has been cancelled."
Around 25,000 rapes are reported in India every year, and the incident comes just days after a Swiss tourist on a cycling trip was gang-raped by up to eight men in front of her husband in central India.
New legislation aimed at introducing tougher sentences for rapists was passed by the Indian Parliament after national outrage triggered by the fatal gang rape of a medical student on a bus in Delhi.

Immediately after the selection of the winner, we go to the reunion episode. Just like last season, Li'l Russell dominates the reunion, to the point where even his #1 fan Probst is telling him to shut up and sit down. Good thing these aren't last season's contestants, but media-savvy famewhores who do not appreciate having their spotlight stolen by a man they universally despise. So he gets told off and shut down by just about everyone, from Rob to Sandra. And then he wins the $100,000 fan-favorite prize because the American people like the edited, one hour a week version they got of him and also probably couldn't remember who any of the other contestants were, so little camera time did everyone else get. J.T. wins the prize of dumbest move in the game's history and gets a tiny wooden tiki statue. And Jenn Lyons from Survivor: Palau wins the prize of Worst Tribute Montage, getting all of three seconds worth of clips and barely a mention despite being the first contestant in this show's history to die. I'm sure we can thank Li'l Russell's camera-hoggery for that, too. In other news, Rob and Amber's baby daughter is cute but doesn't seem as interested in being on camera as her parents, Stephenie used her appearance to promote her restaurant and royally piss off Probst, thus making her a little bit awesome, and Jerri wore way too much makeup but didn't get booed off the stage like she did her last time around on the show. See you next season in Nicaragua!
Read how the last episode went down here, then discuss this episode in our forums and relive the best moments of the season!
We begin the reunion portion of the evening with a montage of Sandra's greatest moments, like when she removed Sugar's top, fell on her face when trying to jump over a small stream, endlessly hated Li'l Russell, and, of course "but I don't know about that!" Oh, and also when she didn't suck at that one challenge, much to her surprise, and played the hidden immunity idol, much to everyone else's. And there she is with a little tiara on, which I would normally hate her for, but since it's Sandra, it's awesome. Probst acknowledges that Sandra is the first two-time winner of this game and asks if this means that she is, truly, the best player ever. "It makes me the queen," she says; "the best ever, yes." I think you could make a strong argument for that, but I think Richard Hatch was the best ever, and I probably always will. Parvati's a pretty strong contender for the title, too. Sandra is definitely up there. "I make it to the end AND I win," she says. Unlike, you know, some people sitting to the right of her in third place who have never won despite making it to the end twice. Parvati gives Sandra an appreciative clap while Sandra just looks at Probst like, "I fucking DARE you to say otherwise, bitch." He does not. Instead, he asks Parvati if Sandra is the best ever. Parvati says Sandra's argument is "logical" and "makes perfect sense," but, of course, Parvati is going to say that she's the best player ever because she's played this game for more days than anyone else. Except that she's played three times and Sandra's only played twice. Parvati says she's also a "challenge dominator" now. And let's not forget that she is best friends with one of this show's casting associates. That always helps. Sandra says she's played twice and won twice, while Parvati has played three times but only won "twice." Actually once, but whatever.
Of course, Probst has to ask Li'l Russell if he thinks Sandra is the best player ever. "Do you really want me to explain this to you?" he says. No, I don't! Let's move on to someone else, please. But no, Probst asks him to keep his explanation to 30 seconds or less. Li'l Russell says that Sandra is a poor social player because "she's lippy and she knows it." She wasn't lippy when she found that idol, though. And however "lippy" she might have been, the jury didn't seem to mind it too much when they sang her praises in the Final Tribal Council and then gave her another million dollars. So I'm not sure how that point means she has a bad social game. Li'l Russell says Sandra might be "the worst physical player to ever play the game." Um, yeah, Li'l Russell? It's called Scout Cloud Lee. Also, now, Colby. Parvati just looks horrified, while Sandra says losing in challenges was a good strategy for her. Li'l Russell says Sandra's strategic game consisted of trying to get rid of him, which she was never able to accomplish. "So let's reward her for her failures," he says. Yes, because all she had to do to win that million dollars at the end was say she wanted and tried to get rid of him. She didn't have to actually do it -- in fact, if she hadn't been up against him in the end, she probably wouldn't have won, something I think she's keenly aware of and tailored her jury performance to. Li'l Russell says the fact that Sandra won the game twice only shows that the game itself is flawed. Sandra smiles throughout all of this because she knows that no matter what Li'l Russell says, she just won a million dollars. And he didn't.

High loan default rate restricts financial aid for students
When Tamara Keith was two weeks into her first semester of a photography program she was informed that her financial aid had been pulled. Keith not only thought she met the requirements for financial aid, but she absolutely needed it to go to school.
When she went to the financial aid office for help, however, they made her an offer: Pay $1,300 in the next two weeks and you can get back to school. Unable to pay, Keith had no choice but to cease pursuing her college degree.
Like everyone else, a large part of what determined Keith's financial aid was how much money her parents make; what was seen on the financial aid side was that her father makes enough money to be able to pay for her education, but the reality of the situation was that Keith's mother had passed away within the past couple years and that her father, although able to pay for her education, was nowhere to be found.
What happened to Keith was no doubt an unfortunate oversight on the part of the financial aid office and was a definite worst case scenario, but the intricacies of the story show a department that finds itself caught between giving students aid and following procedure.
The problem is that sometimes procedure leaves people like Keith falling through the cracks.
Jerry Manz, the director for the financial aid office, explained the situation from his point of view, "If schools reach a certain threshold or default rate for a period of time, they can actually be removed from the student loan program. That's why it's so important for schools to take an active role in default management to try to keep that default rate down and keep that money available for students that actually need those funds in order to go to school."
Currently, MATC's default rate is at 19 percent; if it hits 25 percent the U.S. Department of Education begins to step in and put restrictions on the amount a school can lend or, even worse, can begin to eliminate schools from the student lending program.
Manz said, "What a lot of students don't realize when they take on debt is that as soon as they drop out of their classes or drop below half-time status, which is six credits, the clock starts ticking on the repayment. So, six months after they complete their program or drop below half time they're going to have the obligation to pay their first loan payment."
Add to that a pattern of people trying to take advantage of the system as a way to get an easy loan, and it puts pressure on the financial aid department to be tough.
Sometimes however, this results in the punishment of students who are actually trying to attend, or finish school, but don't have the means to do so. The Department of Education is trying to regulate this situation with a policy known as R2T4 which refers to the return of financial aid that the student hasn't earned.
Manz says, "If a student receives money then drops out, whether it's loan money or grant money, they may have an obligation to repay even the grant money, in full, in order to go to any school ever again."
If the student can't pay, their case goes to collections; Camille Nicolai, manager of the Financial Aid Office, knows all too well how aggressive collections agencies can be in trying to get the money back. "What's happening now is, we have people who were students many years ago and now they're on Social Security; if they have a defaulted loan, the payments are coming out of that person's Social Security," she says. "There have also been instances where they're going into that person's paychecks, and what they can't get from the paycheck, they'll take from your bank account."
Unfortunately, it may be too late for some but, in order to avoid situations like these, a program named SALT is in the works.
SALT is designed to create financial literacy for students in an effort to create better habits and ultimately a healthier, more sustainable, financial climate in the loan department.
Although not a lot is currently known about the SALT program, the Times will be covering the ongoing developments as the story unfolds.

That would depends on what you can afford!
Our admin department is looking to replace their machines. What spec of machine is recommended to run Sims, FMS and MS Office 2007?
That would depends on what you can afford!
Well I've just put some out : Dual 1.6Ghz, 1Gb Ram, 160Gb Hdd, and they sseem to manage ok... I'd go for memory over processor if money's tight.
I'll dig out the official system rqs... just a sec
I'm currently thinking of these...
Acer Veriton L410 Ultra Small Form Factor PC - Misco.co.uk
For both the Admin and the Classroom replacements this year. They seem to tick all the boxes at a very reasonably price IMHO.
Note to CPL - you may want to e-mail me prices for these toward the end of June/beginning of July. Looking at about 31-36 of them...
CPLTD (8th May 2009)
SIMS official hardware spec attached
Generaly we're going for 2gb RAM, low to mid range Core2Duo (not Celeron) processor and the smallest hard drive is offered (your admin users should not be storing data locally).
If you're going for Vista (particularly if you're getting 64 I'd add an extra 2gb ram).
EDIT: Personaly I wouldn't touch Acer with a barge pole.
Last edited by K.C.Leblanc; 8th May 2009 at 12:31 PM.
Capita are recommending PC's with 4gb of RAM at the schools i look after and a decent dual core processor (again not Celeron) Wouldn't recommend below 2gb even if running XP (Never know you may want to change in the near future) I always stick to either Dell or HP for admin PC's. Acer are a nightmare when things go wrong. Recently had a laptop take 3 months to come back from them.
The Tick Boxes:
- 64bit processor with Virtualisation support (in case XPM mode in Win7 is needed in the future)
- 2Gb Ram
- Dual Core
- Not Celeron or Sempron
- Vista Business OEM (currently use downgrade rights for XP Pro)
- SFF or USFF case
Again any particular reasin why not?I wouldn't touch 64-bit on the admin side workstations with a barge-pole.
We're not going 64bit until Win-7 hits, which for us is looking like Summer 2011, but when we do I can't think of any reason why the admin machines should stay 32bit. The only possible reason I can think of is if the School Management System (Phoenx Gold here) doesn't support 64bit.
OT: (but related to Tick Box 1 and the School Management System), Any one know if you can download and use the 32bit version of XPM in Windows 7 on the 64bit version of Windows 7 - or is it only 64bit XPM on 64bit Win7?
Acer are definitely a 'value' proposition, read: cheap but low build quality/reliabilty. You get what you pay for at the end of the day. Always been hassle when I've had to support them. For admin machines i always want reliable, that equals HP or Dell

"Lula remains a folk hero"...
The information that the brazilian teachers enjoy "some of the world's cushiest pensions" is absolutely out of context, and lead me to think about all other information you give in this magazine. My wife is a public teacher of São Paulo state for almost 30 years, and I can say, without any doubt, that she is not a privileged worker. Unless you think that to teach in classrooms where often you find underage criminal youngsters, or is frequently sweared, or suffers physical threats is a privilege.
Moreover, the teacher's salaries has been systematically corrected under the inflation indexes over the last 20, 30 years - specially during the high inflation ones - so they "enjoy" nowadays values that I'd classify as outrageous.
As a result, the public teachers in São Paulo state are highly disrespected, and nobody with a minimum of sanity aims to be one. Thanks to the highly stressing environment they face day by day in their classrooms, the rate of teachers that have mental diseases related to their work is surpassed only by the cops, and many of them have to be readapted to other functions because they become totally disabled to teach.
So, the "world's cushiest pension" you refer to simply does not exist. They get their pension earlier because they would get mad otherwise. And the amount they receive is only the same low salary - very low indeed - they get before.
If you doubt my words, please go to the public schools of São Paulo state and discover yourself.
Cash-transfer redistribution policies are everywhere linked to conservative politics. In Brazil, before he was elected president, Lula used to refer to them as alms whose objective was to keep the poor quiet and subservient.
It was only when PT discovered the electoral possibilities of the bolsa família that the policy really was implemented and metamorphosed itself into a left-wing policy. Even if it had benefited the society as a whole – which is doubtful, it is undeniably used by the government with electoral intentions – the false accusations during the presidential elections reflect that.
The article is inaccurate when it links the right to receive the money with some duties – health and educational duties. In practice there is no duty at all and that is a big problem because the policy has no exit door. Once the family starts receiving it without having to do a thing, they are not going to let it go easily – even if their financial situation improves.
Once upon a time the rich countries had no problems paying fat benefits to the retiring population. If bolsa família is relative cheap now, its tendency to growth and to perennially will be a very big problem in the future.
It's really confortable for the actual government to have a mass of people without education. Our last election comproved this theory, the worker's party(PT) had a massive election on our poorest region (Northeast), while the richest and more developed regions (South and Southeast) voted on the social-democratic party (PSDB).If they really want to improve the life condition of the poor people, they have to invest on our bad education system, and do not pay alms to shut their mouths.

United Co. Rusal (486), the largest maker of aluminum, said the chairman of OAO Norilsk Nickel should be independent rather than representing a particular shareholder.
"The board should be dominated by independent directors," Oleg Mukhamedshin, Rusal's head of capital markets, said in Hong Kong today. "We are considering the situation and are going to have some consultations with other shareholders."
The nickel producer's directors elected Andrei Bugrov as chairman on June 21, tilting the board away from Rusal's billionaire Chief Executive Officer Oleg Deripaska and toward rival Norilsk shareholder Vladimir Potanin in a fight to control Russia's biggest mining company that dates back to 2008.
Bugrov, on the board of Potanin's Interros Holding Co., takes over as chairman of Norilsk from independent director Alexander Voloshin. Rusal holds 25 percent of Norilsk, while Interros owns 30 percent.
"Potanin controls the board," said Dmitry Smolin, an analyst at Uralsib Capital. "To re-elect the chairman, Rusal needs his agreement, making re-election almost impossible."
Anton Muravyev, an Interros spokesman, declined to comment beyond a statement on the day of the election that said Bugrov would focus on corporate strategy rather than the conflict.

Yesterday I attended my very first IMATS in Toronto! I went with one of my best friends, Courtney (her blog is Cupcakes & Cateyes), and we had such a great day. I've been wanting to go to IMATS since I very first heard about it on YouTube years and years ago but I've never been able to attend (for various reasons) until this year. I'm so glad I got to go and I had an amazing time! We got there shortly after 9 and stayed until around 4. We got to meet Sam and Nic of Pixiwoo at their Real Techniques meetup and I also met Stacey Brennan who's a beauty YouTuber I've been watching for about 6 years now (see photos of both on my Instagram)!
The rest of this post is quite picture-heavy so I've put it under a cut, but click on to see and read about everything I bought!

The Future of the Eurozone and U.S. Interests
Date: January 17, 2012
Creator: Ahearn, Raymond J.; Jackson, James K.; Mix, Derek E. & Nelson, Rebecca M.
Description: Seventeen of the European Union's 27 member states share an economic and monetary union (EMU) with the euro as a single currency. These countries are effectively referred to as the Eurozone. What has become known as the Eurozone crisis began in early 2010 when financial markets were shaken by heightened concerns that the fiscal positions of a number of Eurozone countries, beginning with Greece, were unsustainable. This report provides background information and analysis on the future of the Eurozone in six parts, including discussions on the origins and design challenges of the Eurozone, proposals to define the Eurozone crisis, possible scenarios for the future of the Eurozone, and the implications of the Eurozone crisis for U.S. economic and political interests.

What Is Systemic Risk? Does It Apply to Recent JP Morgan Losses?
Date: May 24, 2012
Creator: Murphy, Edward V.
Description: Systemic risk refers to the possibility that the financial system as a whole might become unstable, rather than the health of individual market participants. Stable financial systems do not transmit or magnify shocks to the broader economy. A firm, person, government, financial utility, or policy might create systemic risk if (1) its failure causes other failures in a domino effect; (2) news about its assets signals that others with similar assets may also be distressed, called contagion; (3) it contributes to fire sales during price declines; or (4) its absence prevents other firms from using an essential service, called critical functions. This report discusses how systemic risk may apply to JP Morgan's recent losses.

Evaluating the Current Stance of Monetary Policy Using a Taylor Rule
Date: January 30, 2012
Creator: Labonte, Marc
Description: Oversight of the Federal Reserve's (Fed's) monetary policy decisions rests with Congress. But oversight is encumbered by the absence of a straightforward relationship between interest rates and economic performance. Further, the Fed's policy decisions are discretionary, meaning there is no objective, transparent "yardstick" for evaluating their decisions. A simple rule of thumb guide to monetary policy decisions called a "Taylor rule" is an intuitive way to judge actual policy against some objective, albeit simplistic, ideal. Taylor rules prescribe a federal funds target based on inflation and the output gap (i.e., the difference between actual gross domestic product [GDP] and potential GDP) and can be adjusted to reflect a variety of policy goals.

It also discusses the role of Congress in shaping U.S. policy at the IMF and concludes by addressing key issues, both legislative and oversight-related, that Congress may wish to consider, including: the role of the IMF as a lender of last resort; the adequacy of IMF resources; and the effectiveness of IMF surveillance.

Monetary Policy and the Federal Reserve: Current Policy and Conditions
Date: January 30, 2012
Creator: Labonte, Marc
Description: The Federal Reserve (Fed) defines monetary policy as the actions it undertakes to influence the availability and cost of money and credit. Since the expectations of market participants play an important role in determining prices and growth, monetary policy can also be defined to include the directives, policies, statements, and actions of the Fed that influence how the future is perceived. In addition, the Fed acts as a "lender of last resort" to the nation's financial system, meaning that it ensures continued smooth functioning of financial intermediation by providing financial markets with adequate liquidity. This role has become of great importance following the onset of the recent financial crisis. Congress has delegated responsibility for monetary policy to the Fed, but retains oversight responsibilities to ensure that the Fed is adhering to its statutory mandate "maximum employment, stable prices, and moderate long-term interest rates." This report looks at the background and influences of current legislation that would affect the Fed's practices.
