The Genius of Bad News
So it was unlikely that he would remain a salaried journalist for long. From 1955 to 1957, supported by Hede Stavianicek, he studied acting and directing at Salzburg's Mozarteum. Trying different parts, he found he was most successful at playing the cantankerous old man. He began to mingle with the Viennese avant-garde. Good at forming intimacies that never quite became stable relationships, he started to spend his summers in the bohemian community of Tonhof, the summer mountain residence of the rich musicians Gerhard Lampersberg and his wife, Maja. Both Lampersbergs fell in love with him. They weren't alone. Bernhard flirted, left and right, with men and women, put on his first three plays in the Tonhof barn, then escaped to Frau Stavianicek when things got tense. By now he was calling her "Auntie," as ill-defined a relationship as ever one could wish. It is intriguing that his ferocious attack on the Lampersbergs many years later in the novel Woodcutters accused them above all of cozy complicity with the establishment they pretended to oppose. Cited, as so often, for libel, Bernhard gave aggressive interviews in which he claimed that all the bohemian community was state-subsidized, whereas he alone had always been independent. "Only if you're really independent can you write really well…. I always lived from my own initiative, never was subsidized, no one gave a damn about me, to this day. I am against all subsidies, all patronage…."
Honegger is no doubt right to suggest that the hyperbole and hypocrisy of Bernhard's position—for he had received many awards and was generously patronized—was an indication of his anxiety about his own inevitable involvement in Austrian culture. "The past of the Habsburg Empire is what forms us," he said in another interview around the same time. "In my case it is perhaps more visible than in others. It manifests itself in a kind of love-hate for Austria that's the key to everything I write."
By now an uneasy pattern of behavior was all too evident: insecure, Bernhard craved intimacy and recognition. Yet his real ambition was for total independence, which, alas, he feared was impossible. He became a master of the on-off friendship, the unconsummated love affair. He would make friends with a married couple, insinuate himself into their family, monopolize the wife, then withdraw. The casualty list of those confused by his behavior grew rapidly. But at least he wouldn't make the mistake of marrying and destroying his wife and children. The genetic buck would stop with Thomas. This became an obsession frequently present in his novels. The only way to stop the interminably mendacious back and forth of human relationships was to stop procreating for good.
After his break with the Tonhof community, he traveled widely, but as soon as he had a financial success with his first major play, he bought a farmhouse and began to reinvent himself as an Austrian country gentleman. Then he thought he really ought to sell it and distance himself again. Then he decided to keep it after all. Remorselessly castigating the establishment, he eagerly sought the company of the aristocracy. A picture of the emperor Franz Joseph was hung upon the living room wall.
Still, there is nothing like the permanent dilemma for creating exciting art. Honegger is excellent at showing how Bernhard's personal contradictions connected with the peculiarly Austrian genre of the Heimatroman and the very special role of the theater in a suffocatingly tight-knit Austrian society. With the nation reduced, after the First World War, to a fragment of its imperial, Austro-Hungarian glory, there had been a deliberate attempt to build up a national identity around narrative depictions of vigorous and morally commendable Austrian peasant life—the so-called Heimatroman. During the Nazi period, such literature had taken on a decidedly blood-and-soil flavor which afterward was repackaged, in many cases by the same writers, as a sanitized and optimistic nativism, all too appealing to the Green Party and the tourist industry.
Johannes Freumbichler had enjoyed his only success, in 1937, with an unorthodox Heimatroman, Philomena Ellenhub, a book that ran against conventional Catholic morality by offering a sympathetic account of the vicissitudes of an independent, unmarried mother. His grandson went much further. Bernhard's first novel, Frost, (1963, now published in English translation for the first time), presents a ferociously dystopian view of rural life. The narrator, a young medical student, has been instructed by a senior doctor to go to a remote mountain village to observe the doctor's brother, a painter, who has secluded himself in the place for many years in a state of near insanity. "He lives, as they say, in his head. But he's terminally confused. Haunted by vice, shame, awe, reproach …—my brother is a walker, a man in fear. And a misanthrope."
The student records the painter's ravings, which combine a deep inner anguish with a loathing for the shameless sensuality of the landlady of the inn where he and the student are staying and for the violent drunken men who revolve around her and her two daughters:
The primitive is everywhere…. Sex is what does for them all. Sex, the disease that kills by its nature …they live for sex, like most people, like all people…. All of them live a sex life, and not a life.
As the book progresses we begin to fear for the sanity of the medical student as he is both seduced and overwhelmed by the intensity and negativity of the painter's vision. In particular, he loses all confidence in the profession he has chosen: "Helper of mankind, I thought. Helping and mankind, the distance between those two terms. I can't imagine myself ever helping anyone…. I don't understand anything."
Amras (1967), Bernhard's second long work of prose, actually manages to step up the intensity, reconstructing the history of a family induced to attempt collective suicide by the rapacious ugliness of the rural society all around them. Again the despair of the intellectual narrator feeds misanthropically on the utter spiritual emptiness of ordinary provincial life, but in such an exaggerated fashion that the reader is uncertain how to respond.2
Gargoyles (1967), the third and the most accomplished of Bernhard's subversions of the Heimatroman, once again picks up the theme of medical science's inadequacy when confronted with extremes of intellectual despair on the one hand and blind appetite on the other. In this case the narrator, a young engineering student, accompanies his doctor father on a round of visits to sick patients in the dark woods and deep gorges of the southeastern Austrian province of Styria.
The morning begins with a failed attempt to save an innkeeper's wife, victim of a drunken assault, and proceeds from catastrophe to catastrophe as it penetrates an ever-gloomier countryside. The doctor's denunciation of a dull and brutal provincial society could not be more radical:
Crimes in the city are nothing in comparison with crimes in the country. The innkeeper, he added, is your typical violent man, your born delinquent. Everything in him and about him is violent and criminal. At every moment and in every situation he is the merest cattle trader, it's his job and he never transcends it. "And if he is now weeping and desperate," my father said "he's weeping because he's lost a valuable beast. For an innkeeper his wife is never anything more than a valuable beast."
Soon enough the doctor doing the denouncing is himself implicated in the general failure. His cures are inadequate. He is unable to communicate with his son. He seems resigned to the idea that his daughter will eventually commit suicide. We discover that his wife too suffered from depression and neurosis, which may have caused her illness and early death. The doctor, the intellectual, seems unable to improve the world.
Indeed, where there is intelligent life in Gargoyles it tends to isolate itself. Bloch, the doctor's only friend, is a successful real estate agent, who keeps his intense intellectual life entirely separate from his commercial activities. More extreme, an (unnamed) writer/ industrialist lives in complete segregation in a destructive, incestuous relationship with his sister. But the doctor's final visit is reserved for the most brilliant and isolated character of them all: Prince Sarau, hereditary landowner of vast areas of gloomy forest, lives in the Gothic castle of Hochgobernitz perched high above the doomed landscape we have crossed. A dying monomaniac who at once fears and fantasizes the extinction of his family, the prince launches into a hundred-page monologue which entirely shifts the equilibrium of the book—and marks a turning point in Bernhard's career—as the doctor, son, and reader are spellbound by the obsessive and self-destructive power of the prince's delivery:
"Once we become aware of the complex of problems relating to our existence, we think we are philosophical. We are constantly contaminated by whatever we touch; therefore we are always contaminated by everything. Our life, which is not nature, is one great contamination…. Of course everyone is constantly protecting himself by saying: I don't belong there! And he has every right to do so. I too am continually saying that I don't belong there, don't belong anywhere. But all together we are really accidental. We tire quickly whenever we don't tell lies. The foundations are in the earth, we feel, but we do not add the thought: in the lower strata, and we are afraid. Are we always asking too much of others?" the prince asked. "No," he answered himself, "I think not. I confront a person and I think: What are you thinking? Can I, I ask myself, go along with you inside your brain for a little? The answer is: No! We cannot go along with someone inside the brain. We force ourselves not to perceive our own abyss. But all our lives we are looking (without perceiving) down into our physical as well as psychic chasm. Our illnesses systematically destroy our lives, just as an increasingly defective orthography destroys itself."
As ever in Bernhard, the more isolated a character is, the more chaotic the mind, and the more the world dissolves into a stream of words that might be either revelatory or meaningless.
In his next novel, The Lime Works, published in 1970, the characters who would normally be expected to appear in a Heimatroman are reduced to the few local people—the former works manager, a public safety inspector, the two managers of nearby estates—who give accounts of the life and words of the main character, Konrad, who, disgusted with the world and society, has withdrawn with his crippled wife to the silence and segregation of the abandoned lime works where he hopes to write the definitive account of the faculty of hearing and, by implication, of the nature of communication.
Konrad's humiliation is total. Not only, in his perfectionism, is he unable to write so much as a word of his book, not only does he find isolation as detrimental as company, but when at the end he murders his wife and hides from the police in the cesspit, he becomes just another statistic in the country's long list of brutal domestic crimes. The ultimate defeat is that any valuable ideas he had are now passed on and modified in the minds of the sort of people whom he despised and who, more conventional and more cautious than he, happily consume, along with the reader, his fascinating story. Inescapably, he is part of the local mental ecology. He was never isolated from them at all. With wonderful irony, the various accounts of his downfall are gathered together by an insurance agent struggling to sell life insurance policies in the local village inns. Konrad will serve as a cautionary tale.
Writing with immense power and the blackest of wit, Bernhard thus denies writing any power to alter the society it remorselessly criticizes. On the contrary, the artist is implicated in the general freak show. "The imagination is an expression of disorder," says the painter in Frost, "it has to be." Given that the Western world of today still likes to imagine creative authorship as a pleasantly exotic branch of progressive liberal politics, such a vision is hardly the passport to wider popularity. Indeed Bernhard has never achieved that. There remains, however, particularly for those of us who come to him through his novels rather than his plays—and that means most of his admirers outside the German-speaking world—the mystery of his success on the Austrian and German stage, which was, after all, the source of his income. Herself trained in the theater, Honegger is at her best here, and at her most confident in declaring Bernhard only partially comprehensible if read apart from his national setting.
Like so many of his characters, Bernhard loved to be alone, segregating himself behind the tall hedges surrounding his farmhouse, rapidly becoming part of local folklore, a misanthrope whose imagined malignant powers could be used to threaten a naughty village child. But he also loved, from time to time, to be the center of attention. And since the theater has always had a central position in Austrian society, and in particular the Burgtheater, and the Salzburg Festival, what better places for Bernhard to show himself?
Borrowing from Beckett, Strindberg, and others of his immediate predecessors, Bernhard's plays distinguish themselves for the virulence of their monologues attacking the middle-class establishment. But who was in the audiences at the Salzburg Festival and the Burgtheater if not the middle-class establishment? In the play Am Ziel (which might be translated "Arrived") the nameless lead character, who is simply designated the Writer, remarks of his successful play:
I can't understand
why they applauded
we are talking about a play
that exposes every one of them
and in the meanest way
admittedly with humor
but nasty humor
if not with malice
true malice
And all of a sudden they applaud
The staging of a Bernhard play thus demonstrates two apparently contradictory truths: the power of the artist to get people to accept anything at all; and simultaneously the impotence of the artist to change anything. The same people come back, once again applaud savage criticism of themselves, but never change ("the Burgtheater," he wrote, "could become a national mental institution for those who have proved themselves incurable").
Honegger's description of how Bernhard used his casting to reinforce this idea of a situation of embattled stasis is fascinating. An actor with a Nazi past would be cast in the role of a Nazi or, even better, in the role of a Jew whose rhetoric and neurosis is indistinguishable from a Nazi's. An actress from one play would be given a role that in some way was a comment on her previous one. Elements in each play might refer back to controversies created by earlier plays. In short, the collective memory of the local audience was essential. They were constantly reminded that all was as it always had been.
In this regard a productive misunderstanding between Bernhard and the man who directed most of his plays galvanized the author's theater career from beginning to end. The enfant terrible Claus Peymann came from the extreme left of the German political spectrum, openly sympathized with the terrorist Red Army Faction, and insisted that the theater was "a place of opposition—in certain times to the point of subversion." When Bernhard wrote the play Eve of Retirement, which features an aging ex–SS officer, now a respectable judge, who puts on his old uniform and always, we are told, sleeps with his devoted sister once a year to celebrate Himmler's birthday, while his younger and crippled socialist sister is dressed up as a concentration camp victim, Peymann no doubt saw this as grist for his political mill. Convinced of the positive value of shocking the audience, he did everything to create an atmosphere of scandal around Bernhard's work.
This suited Bernhard, for whom scandal was the only way he could enjoy himself in public, since it combined intense attention with at least the appearance of acting independently. Politically, however, the playwright was far more complex than his faithful director. Of Eve of Retirement Honegger astutely remarks: "The outrage…was not the suggestion that the majority of Germans are incurable Nazis but the implication that fascism is just another symptom of an innate obsessiveness that also drives scholars, scientists, and artists."
What is it then that we are applauding when we praise a writer who would have included each and every one of us in his indictments? The excellent Honegger with her sometimes belabored academic prose and her research grant, as she acknowledges, from the Austrian Ministry of Culture and Education would not have been exempt. Nor the writer of this review, with his flagrantly biographical approach. In Gargoyles, the narrator's father speaks of a painting that is at once absolutely ugly and at the same time absolutely beautiful. Then he explains: "It's beautiful because it's true." The picture, we are told, shows two naked men standing back to back, but with their heads rotated, so that they are also face to face. It is a grotesque contradiction of isolation and intimacy.
As we read, in Bernhard's coercively rhythmic prose, of the dangers of being possessed by the rhythms of another's mind, as we put down one novel whose monomaniac narrator dreamed of being the last of his dynasty only to pick up another and find ourselves confronted with the man's spiritual successor, as we smile over those interminable superlatives that suggest that even the supreme effort will not be enough, as we embark on huge sentences, never-ending paragraphs, that remind us that experience is seamless and that if we want to say one thing we must be prepared to say everything, which is of course impossible, in short, as we read and reread Thomas Bernhard, we have the intense impression of being able to savor, briefly held together in the decidedly artificial space of these performances, a true picture of the contradictions that drive our lives. The world described is ugly, the reflections leave no space for optimism, but the mechanism invented for delivering the bad news is never less than exhilarating.
Writing more often than not about writer's block, Bernhard became remarkably prolific, producing seventeen full-length plays, a dozen novels, and five works of autobiography. Insisting that all was parody and quotation, he created one of the most distinctive voices of the twentieth century. Awareness, in the last decade of his life, that he was terminally ill with lung and heart disease seemed only to accelerate his output. Denying the possibility of perfection, lamenting the false promise of genius, his own work got better and better. His last novels—Concrete, The Loser, Woodcutters, Extinction, Old Masters—are his finest. Shorn of the immediately scandalous material of the plays and the extravagantly Gothic tone of the earlier fiction, these books are wonderfully focused on the central paradox of Bernhard's writing, that the very act of expression runs contrary to his obsessive drive toward a superior isolation. The antithetical energies unleashed in these books lay down a pulse in the reader's mind, and their prose is as near to unforgettable as any prose I know.
In 1984 Hede Stavianicek died. Always discreet, never sharing the limelight, she had been his lifelong companion, his Lebensmensch, as he put it. Bernhard was there at the end to care for her. "Suddenly I gave my tears free reign," says the author's stand-in in Old Masters, the novel he wrote immediately afterward. "I wept and wept and wept and wept." It is perhaps the only moment of cathartic release in all Bernhard's work. Five years later, having always declared that we are no better than marionettes, Bernhard nevertheless made the gesture of severing the fatal strings himself, taking a lethal overdose shortly before an inevitable death. And in a last mad bid for independence from his native country, his will, revised two days before his death, prohibited all publications or productions of his work in Austria until the end of his copyright.
Bernhard must have known that this stipulation would not long be respected, that he would inevitably and rapidly be appropriated into the Austrian canon. But with Bernhard it was always the yearning for independence, the gesture of opposition, that served to confirm the deeper complicity between the artist and the world he works in. As the East German playwright Heiner Müller commented of the controversy surrounding Bernhard's plays: "He writes as if he had been hired by the Austrian government to write against Austria…. The disturbance can be articulated that loudly and clearly because it doesn't disturb." And the reason it didn't disturb is that Bernhard always presents his criticisms in such a way that the critic, the author, Bernhard himself, seems just as unbalanced and guilty as the world he deplores. Nor does any alternative form of behavior appear to be imaginable. Indeed, it was in his staging of the modern liberal's interminably lost battle with his origins and milieu, which is to say with the human condition, that Bernhard becomes so powerful a voice even outside the world he was fatally attached to.

Short Message Service (SMS), a text messaging service on mobile phones, is being used by a wider and wider audience for social communication. Instead of speaking directly to the person you're communicating with, you use SMS, or "texts," to send messages that the recipient can pick up at his or her convenience. You don't have to leave a voice mail or send an email; with a text, your message is delivered directly through nothing other than your mobile phone service. It's perhaps fair to say that among some groups, SMS- or "texting" - is replacing real-time voice communication because it is has the advantage of being readable at the viewer's convenience. There's no risk of disturbing someone during dinner, the middle of the night, or while the person is at work, school, or socializing.
This is the theory of the text. In reality, however, heavy text message users send and receive texts virtually nonstop throughout their waking hours. They take advantage of the increasingly tempting services that mobile phone companies provide and have long, extended conversations with their social contacts that go on from the time they wake up until the time they go to bed, even checking their messages all night long. They walk down the street with their actual friends while each of them texts other friends, or perhaps each other. Out to dinner, at parties, or at family gatherings, their phone is always at the ready so that they can get and return the incoming flow of messages. At work or in school, it's all they can do to put their phones down long enough to concentrate.

The imminent exit of YU Mobile from Kenya's mobile market will do little to ease the downward pressure on mobile tariffs and operators' voice revenues considering the expected entry of mobile virtual network operators into the market. As a result, we retain our view of revenue stream diversification as the most sustainable growth strategy for service providers. The Kenyan market is suitable for the implementation of telecoms crossover services and operators must explore opportunities to monetise the delivery of these services in the same manner as they have done with mobile financial services.
Key Data
Kenya's mobile market grew by 1.7% quarter-on-quarter (q-o-q) in Q114, compared with a contraction of 2.9% q-o-q during the same period in 2013.
Mobile ARPU appreciation continued in 2014, with Safaricom recording a 10% year-on-year (y-o-y) increase in mobile ARPU in the 12 months to March 2014.
The rate contraction in the fixed-line sector eased in Q114, with number of active lines decreasing by just 0.7% q-o-q.
The number of internet users in Kenya increased by 31.8% in the 12 months to March 2014.
Risk/Reward Ratings
Kenya is ranked 10th on BMI's Q414 Sub-Saharan Africa telecoms Risk/Reward Ratings (RRR), unchanged from the previous quarter. The country's overall score was also unchanged at 46.9, above the regional average aggregate score of 40.5. Kenya scores above average in all the four categories on our ratings table. The industry rewards score is sustained by ARPU, while the launch of a more powerful telecoms regulator, the Communications Authority of Kenya (CAK), reflects the industry risks score of 70. Kenya's mobile telecoms market is one of the most dynamic in the region, but it is held back by low ARPUs in the mobile sector and limited network coverage in the fixed-line sector. The country already has one of Africa's most sophisticated economies, and we predict that rising incomes will see increased demand for the goods and...

Football: Moyes banks on better luck in Swansea sequel
Published on Jan 9, 2014 5:02 PM
LONDON (REUTERS) - The threat of a fourth consecutive defeat is looming large for Manchester United and their manager David Moyes, yet the beleaguered Scot feels things are on the verge of turning for his struggling side.
Swansea City return to Old Trafford for the second time in a week on Saturday, buoyed by their victory at the same ground in the FA Cup third round and no doubt encouraged for another assault by their opponents' ongoing problems.
Sunderland became the latest club to upset Moyes' team in the first leg of their League Cup semi-final on Tuesday, the first time since 1932 that United had lost their first three games of the year.
The two cup defeats followed a stinging home reverse in the league against Tottenham Hotspur that left United seventh in the table and 11 points adrift of leaders Arsenal.

Reviewed Pepper Steak and Rice Pilaf with Mushrooms
Jan 5, 2013 in Food Network Community Toolbox on FoodNetwork.com
"I could not believe how well this turned out. I used ribeye steaks and trimmed all the significant fat. I also chopped the onions versus slicing them and my partner who is VERY picky absolutely loved this dish. I'll be saving this as a go-to weeknight meal. We also preferred it over steamed white rice as the pilaf was a little too many flavors""

Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
This letter is in response to Congressional request to provide information on measures in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) to augment unemployment compensation. Unemployment has risen sharply in the current recession, with the June 2009 rate reaching 9.5 percent of the labor force nationally; 15 states and the District of Columbia have unemployment rates exceeding 10 percent. The Recovery Act enacted measures that expanded unemployment compensation benefits for individuals and provided additional funding to states to pay and administer these benefits. These measures include an extension of benefits under Extended Unemployment Compensation (EUC) through 2009; Unemployment Insurance (UI) "modernization" grants to states that expand eligibility according to specific criteria; an increase in weekly benefits of $25; and an exemption of the first $2,400 in unemployment benefits received by individuals in 2009 from taxation.

Two killed in Granville, N.Y., crashBy Brent Curtis
staff writer | August 16,2014GRANVILLE, N.Y. Two people driving vehicles with Vermont license plates were killed in a fiery head-on collision on Route 25 early Friday morning, police said.
The Washington County Sheriffs Department in New York havent identified the single occupants of either vehicle due to ongoing attempts to positively identify the deceased and to contact next of kin.
Sheriff Jeffrey Murphy wrote in a statement that a gray 2003 Dodge Intrepid and a red 1991 Chevy Camaro involved in the crash were engulfed in flames when emergency vehicles arrived. Both drivers were dead when they were pulled from their vehicles, he added.
A witness to the crash told police she was driving east around 5:15 a.m. Friday when the Intrepid passed her going uphill on a section of road striped with a double solid line to indicate no passing. At the hills crest, the Camaro appeared driving west and collided with the Intrepid which was still passing in the westbound lane, the witness reported.
The impact flung the Intrepid off the east side of the road while the Camaro came to rest turned around in the westbound lane.
An autopsy was conducted on both drivers, the sheriff said.
Granville Emergency Medical Services, Middle Granville Fire and Granville Police assisted at the scene.

Mazda Kazamai concept unveiled ahead of Moscow debut
Mazda has unveiled the first official images of the new Kazamai concept ahead of the car's official debut on August 26 at the Moscow International Auto Salon. In Japanese, "Kazamai" means "swirling crosswinds." In English, that means "Nagare-styled compact CUV." If Mazda were to make a small crossover using the Nagare design language, it would probably look something like this. Only with four doors, because we all know that the 2-door configs are just to make the show cars sexier. So, does this mean that Mazda's working on a stylish, downsized CUV to join the ranks of the CX-7 and CX-9? Well, probably, given expensive gas prices and the resurgence of smaller vehicles in general. With any luck, it'll look this cool if and/or when it arrives.
[Source: Mazda]
Mazda Kazamai Concept to Premiere at Moscow International Automobile Salon 2008
HIROSHIMA, Japan-Mazda will unveil a sporty, compact crossover concept vehicle, Mazda Kazamai, at the Moscow International Automobile Salon (MIAS) on August 26. Kazamai, which means "swirling crosswinds" in Japanese, expresses the powerful yet nimble image of a stylish and compact crossover. The concept is based on Mazda's long-term vision for technology development, Sustainable Zoom-Zoom, which aims to provide a unique balance between sporty driving fun and superior environmental and safety performance. Kazamai will be joined at MIAS by the Russian debut of Mazda's CX-9 SUV, which was crowned 2008 North American Truck of the Year in February.
The Kazamai concept further evolves Mazda's 'Nagare' design language by fusing Nagare's 'flow' design cues with aerodynamic proportions. The design features panel lines inspired by crosswinds in nature which evoke visual lightness. Its bold five-point grille, accentuated front wheel arches and sleek roof line, combined with large 22-inch wheels, lend it high emotional appeal.
Sporty to look at, Kazamai is meant to be spirited and fun to drive, with compact dimensions. Kazamai's four-wheel drive powertrain will consist of a next-generation direct injection engine and a newly developed transmission. It is also aerodynamic, with an evolved lightweight body structure and enhanced the vehicle safety attributes. Were it to be built, Mazda's latest show car would deliver exciting driving dynamics, frugal fuel consumption and greatly reduced CO2 emissions.
The Mazda Kazamai promises to be another ground-breaking show car from Mazda Design, winner of this year's Grand Prix du Design in Paris. Created especially for the Moscow International Automobile Salon, it gives a good indication of where Mazda is going with a possible future compact crossover. And in Russia's growing automotive market, compact SUVs are the second-largest segment, representing about 13 percent of all new car sales.
Complete information will be made available immediately after Mazda's press conference at 10:15 a.m. local time, on August 26 at the Mazda stand.

Stampede Logistics Buys Daniell Transport Provider
by Marty Cook
Posted 4/22/2014 09:49 am
Updated 8 months ago
Stampede Logistics LLC of Little Rock announced it was buying a Georgia fuel transportation company.
Stampede, a bulk fuel transportation company that does business as Stampede Transportation, said it was purchasing Daniell Transport Provider of Bishop, Ga. Stampede did not specify how much it was paying for Daniell, but said the new purchase would do business as Stampede Transportation.
Stampede, which operates 14 trucks, was bought by AET Holdings of Dallas in March. AET Holdings operates two fuel transport companies, Stampede and American Energy Transport, which operates chiefly in Texas.
Stampede services Arkansas, Louisiana and western Tennessee, and the acquisition of Daniell will allow coverage of the Atlanta market. Stampede Manager Jeff Johnson said AET Holdings wants to expand Stampede from Arkansas east and Daniell is the first step of that expansion.
Johnson said some of Stampede's national customers have business in Georgia and had expressed the desire to use Stampede. Johnson said Daniell was identified as a possible target by AET Holdings.
Daniell operates two tanker trucks and has and staff of seven. Johnson said the staff will remain and Stampede intends to expand operations by four tankers.
"They have a good customer base and a good management team," Johnson said. "The goal is to grow in the southeast. This was an opportunity in Georgia so we jumped Mississippi. We'll be working to fill that gap."
Johnson said AET and Stampede were working further purchases in their regions but none was ready to be made public.
"This is the beginning of our efforts to provide a greater amount of resources in our current operating areas, as well as expand our presence in the southeastern states," said AET Holdings Chairman Shawn Bhagat in the news release.

December 18, 2014
NEW YORK (AP) -- Former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer is back in the media, this time as a member of the Fourth Estate.
On Wednesday evening, the online magazine Slate quietly posted Spitzer's first column, headlined "Too Big Not To Fail." It argued against costly economic government bailouts to huge financial institutions.
Jacob Weisberg, the editor-in-chief of the Slate Group, owned by the Washington Post Co., says the semimonthly column will focus on the financial crisis, regulation and government.
Spitzer resigned earlier this year after getting caught in a prostitution scandal. Last month, federal prosecutors announced they would not bring criminal charges against him.

Google have finally updated their toolbar pagerank for this site, not just on the front page, but also a lot of the deeper pages. Not all of them – some of those devoid of pagerank should probably have some, others probably shouldn't especially moved content that hasn't been given enough love.
Google Hiccup
For a few days I have noticed a small hiccup in my SERPs on Google, especially relating to my theories on how Google treat tags.
It seems it was Google just juggling numbers, because not only were terms such as "WordPress Training" not showing my tag page near the top, but also terms such as "WordPress Trademark" had disappeared completely.

Ga. Starbucks plant on track for 2014 completionJuly 5, 2013 @ 4:20 am
AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) - Company officials say work on a huge new Starbucks Coffee Co. manufacturing plant in Augusta remains on schedule for an early 2014 completion date.
Construction of the $172 million facility, which will produce Starbucks VIA Ready Brew, the coffee base for its Frappuccino beverages and many Starbucks ready-to-drink products, began in mid-July 2012.
The Augusta Chronicle reports ( http://bit.ly/1264tn9) that more than 140 workers will be employed at the Starbucks site in Augusta Corporate Park. Walter Sprouse, executive director of the Augusta Economic Development Authority, said the Seattle-based coffee company is the first to locate in the industrial park.
Starbucks spokesman Zack Hutson said hiring at the 180,000-square-foot plant is underway. He said workers for many positions, including maintenance mechanics, automation specialists and operators, are still needed.

From an editorial Monday in the (Raleigh) News & Observer:
Well, theres one thing you have to give the House Republicans and Speaker Thom Tillis. When it comes to pay for play, that disgraceful custom of appointing big contributors to important state boards, theyre about as subtle as a tractor-trailer hitting a possum.
For years, Republicans in the General Assembly blasted Democratic members and governors for seeking out appointees for boards and commissions who just happened to be big political supporters of Democrats. As recently as the administration of Gov. Beverly Perdue, no less than then-GOP Chairman Tom Fetzer expressed in high dudgeon his disgust with Perdues pay for play politics. His then-party spokesman, Jordan Shaw, was likewise proud to say, That is not how we do business.
But Tillis picked up quickly on how to peg his political allies and contributors for choice spots on government boards and commissions. A Saturday story in The News & Observer detailed how some hefty contributors, one of them, gasp, a Democrat, managed to land on what is perhaps the states most prestigious appointive board: the University of North Carolina Board of Governors.
It was earlier reported that three men who gave a total of $70,000 to a super PAC supporting Tillis bid for the U.S. Senate landed spots on the board.
One was Doyle Parrish. And it turned out Parrish is a Democrat. So was his name immediately nixed, his nominating form burned in the speakers trash can?
Nope. Parrish made the cut. Tillis, it seems send a memo to his leadership team explaining he didnt know Parrish was a Democrat, but he supported him nonetheless. He noted, I would estimate he is directly responsible for more than $100,000 in financial support through personal contributions to my campaign committee and other candidates...
In other words: Doyle paid, Doyle plays.
This utterly disgraceful hypocrisy will be something that voters should take into account as Tillis campaigns for the U.S. Senate.
And the sure-to-be-heard claim that the Democrats did it, too doesnt mean much at this point. Republicans campaigned against the Democrats who, yes, did play the game as well. But one of the big reasons that Gov. Pat McCrory and legislative candidates said the Democrats should be banished was because they did...exactly what the Republicans now are doing.
This kind of activity tarnishes the appointments to board seats, and it cant be favorably viewed by other appointees. It also pegs Tillis not as a courageous reformer, but as just another politician out for the next office and willing to do what it takes to get it.

AstraZeneca's Brilinta Faces FDA Delay
LONDON ( TheStreet) -- AstraZeneca (AZN) said Wednesday the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has extended the time to complete its review of ticagrelor , the company's experimental blood thinner.
AstraZeneca, the U.K. drugmaker, said the FDA extended its review by three months to Dec. 16.
"AstraZeneca will continue to work closely with the FDA to support the review of the ticagrelor (new drug application)," the company said in a statement Wednesday.
Ticagrelor, which goes under brand name Brilinta, is seen as a potential blockbuster drug for AstraZeneca. It's currently under regulatory review in the European Union, Canada, and Brazil.-- Written by Joseph Woelfel

.- Auxiliary Bishop Giacinto Boulos Marcuzzo of Jerusalem said during a recent interview that Pope Benedict XVI, who begins his historic visit to the Holy Land this Friday, is going to the region "to confirm his brethren in the faith, to deepen the roots of the Christian presence there, and to strengthen our relations with others."
In an interview with the magazine L'Azione, the bishop explained, "Now we still have many problems, but there is less violence right now than before. The proof is in the great number of pilgrims who are visiting our land. There is climate of non-violence," he said.
For this reason, he explained, "the Pope's visit could contribute to improving the atmosphere and the trust between Israelis and Palestinians." He said the Pontiff's trip, while important from a diplomatic point of view, will be more important pastorally and spiritually for Holy Land.
Commenting later about relations between the Church and Judaism, Bishop Marcuzzo said there have been recent "tensions," but that the Pope's trip would "help to calm the waters in our relations. The Pope's visit will show how close Christians and Jews are."
