Been thinking about bad english, lately. Or should I say: Old English.
Did'ya know that Shakespeare was horrible at English?
At language in general.
Then again, everyone at that time was awful at English.
It's because at that time, and the time before then, and a few more after then, English wasn't structured. It had no real rules or real restrictions. People could use words and give them entirely different meanings...
People often think "Oh, well, at that time, that word meant something TOTALLY different- we just limited it with how streamlined we are nowadays."... but that's only half-true.
Y'see... words back then usually meant something TOTALLY different, because rarely did anyone have a REAL grasp on what the word meant! It wasn't just different back then, it was also DIFFERENT FOR ALMOST EVERY SINGLE PERSON back then!
So the poetic sounds of Shakespeare isn't jumbled up and odd sounding because it's for the poetic sense..... it's that way because the man didn't know how to "talk correctly".
Now am I against this?
Am I an upstanding citizen that follows the English language to the T?
Oh hell no. I suck at English. Mainly because there's so many rules in it!
It feels like for every word, there's a rule for it, a contradicting rule, and another contradicting rule in order for it to be used EXTREMELY SPECIFICALLY in a sentence.
For that, I never really liked English classes. I was always wrong because I had no idea WHY, TRULY WHY, we couldn't use certain words and phrases in certain ways.
Well, that, and I sucked with semicolons.
Everytime someone explains to me how a semicolon works, it just really sounds like semicolons DON'T NEED TO EXIST. ...I mean, gawd, a comma or a period could be there and it'd still make sense.
I digress.
I like bad English. I like how they went with the idea of "if it sounds right, it must be right!"... and then if it didn't make sense with each other, they would try to explain it with other sentences or gestures.
I thought that was much more interesting than how structured and restricted our sentences are nowadays. I mean, hell, not only does it give you extra personality points, but it also makes you connect to that person in a much more intimate matter - because they will know NO ONE ELSE like you for the way you word things.
Nowadays, we expect either pre-planned phrasing or hoity-toity lingual charm in order to see whether someone's unique with their words.
Sure, we have things such as "seeing things in a different light", but in just the same way, our sentences, no matter how badly grammared they are, can SHOW how we see things in a different light.
If a man calls a dog a partner nowadays. You either believe they're a policeman with a dog partner, or some weirdo who thinks dogs have the same sense as a human.
But back then, if a man were to call a dog someword like that of a partner, it shows a sense of working-together and trust - it shows a love for work and interaction. Because we get the FEELING of it.
...nowadays, we still can get the feeling of a word, but then English Majors and the students of the english majors - tell you that you're wrong and that you shouldn't even be talking or listening if you can't do it right.
.... I think they've restricted themselves too much.
I think we've all restricted ourselves too much.
If you fight me back with ideas such as "So you're saying we should just grunt?"
I'll say "Yes." Because if that's all it takes to give out all the information they need in order for them to understand how we feel, what we're thinking, and what we're planning - THEN PERFECT!
Language isn't there to sound smart, it isn't there to be structured to the most perfect gem - it's there to express.
And I wish we could express it in any way we truly wish (and no wannabes allowed), without being ignored and lectured of how we DIDNT DO IT RIGHT.
....hell, if that's the way they see it, I'd like to tell them EVERYTHING THEY'RE DOING WRONG. You aren't walking right. You aren't standing right. You aren't breathing right. You aren't thinking right.
If you want perfection, then prepare to get lectured by me - because I have the blood of a perfectionist, and KNOW what perfection is in its most limiting form.
......but just as in the sense that I don't follow that blood's tales of perfection, I don't tend to follow English's restricting laws...
...and I get bad grades because of it. :(
S'ya peop'l wit' y'r big faunsy and daunsy w'rds be'ah shut it!
W'rds aw an 'ay f' com-taukin'! N' if y' cn't 'Nderstand me, th'n buzz off!

Shark Week at the Shedd Aquarium
Deep in the waters of the earth's massive oceans, more than 300 species of sharks live in a shroud of mystery and myth. From coral reefs in the Indian Ocean to Caribbean Sea, sharks hunt their prey, scavenge for food, and stealthily roam the waters enjoying their status at the top of the ocean's natural food chain. However, there's a lot about sharks that you may not know. According to the experts at the Shedd Aquarium, there are a lot of misconceptions out there surrounding these feared creatures. That's why—just in time for the Discovery Channel's annual Shark Week—the Shedd Aquarium is hosting the Shark Week "Shedd-ule" of Events. In fact, the Shedd Aquarium's events are already underway.

Cheap Oahu Attraction Tickets
It's hard to believe it's already August, but with only a month left before the inevitable start of the school year, we'll all soon be wrapping up our summer vacation plans.

You'll also have fewer crowds to deal with! Why not brighten up the darker months with a Hawaiian vacation? There's so much fun to be had on … [Read more...]

San Francisco's thriving arts scene is one of the biggest draws of this vibrant and eclectic city. The Bay Area's first big manifestation of its artistic prowess came in the 50s and 60s at the height of the Beat Generation. While Eastern philosophy was gaining popularity through Alan Watts and his contemporaries, Allen Ginsburg, Lawrence Ferlinghetti and their posse were taking the poetry world by storm. Meanwhile, artists in the visual realm began to enter the West Coast's thriving cultural arena. Influenced by Abstract Expressionism movement on the East Coast, visual artists such as Bruce Conner and Jay DeFeo set out to experiment with cross-disciplinary approach to art. Collages, experimental films, and sculptures assembled with "found" materials. By the 60s, many other … [Read more...]

text: Talk about a sequel for "Rounders" seems to have been around forever, and while movement hasn't really happened at all on a followup to the 1998 film, the prospect of one is still very real. The last time we heard about the possibility of a sequel was late last year when the Weinsteins made a deal with the new owners of their old label, Miramax, to help develop new movies based on a big portion of their back catalog (other films mentioned included "Shakespeare in Love," "Bridget Jones's Diary," "Copland," "From Dusk Till Dawn," "Swingers," "Clerks," "Shall We Dance" and "The Amityville Horror").

Middle Market Companies Leading U.S. Recovery, Adding 1.2MM Jobs Over Past 12 Months
Mid-sized firms are on track to add more than 1.25 million jobs in 2013, which would account for 7 out of every 10 new jobs created this year. In addition, the nearly 200,000 companies representing the U.S. middle market grew revenue at 5.5% over the past 12 months, more than double the rate of S&P 500 companies, according to the National Center for the Middle Market's (NCMM) latest quarterly Middle Market Indicator (MMI). The report is being released today at the third annual National Middle Market Summit at The Ohio State University.
The U.S. middle market, made up of businesses with revenue between $10 million and $1 billion, contributes one-third of non-government U.S. GDP and accounts for 44.5 million jobs, or one-third of total U.S. employment. Between 2007 and 2010, U.S. middle market firms created 2.2 million jobs while large corporations cut more than 3 million jobs. The mid-market continued to outperform in job creation, with more than 2 million new jobs created between 2010 and 2012.
"Middle market companies defy even their own expectations on performance. This is a dynamic group of companies that continue to lead the U.S. economic recovery, but whose growth is stalling in light of the recent government uncertainty," said Dr. Anil Makhija, Academic Director at NCMM, a partnership of GE Capital and The Ohio State University Fisher College of Business.
Uncertainty Plaguing Mid-Market Growth – Job Growth Projections Cut by 180,000While annual growth trends are positive, this quarter's MMI revealed a distinct moderation in quarterly gains as well as in employment, revenue, investment and confidence growth projections in the year ahead. The employment outlook over the next 12 months fell by almost 200,000 between Q2 and Q3, with middle market companies expecting to add around 900,000 new jobs. This comes as 47% of companies said that government uncertainty was highly challenging to them, a strong increase over Q2.

According to David Berman, head of Durban Capital, first-quarter sales comparisons for apparel retailers will be the worst in years, as the industry benefited from unusually warm winter weather in 2012. Last week's Follow-Up ("The Grinch Stole Christmas, and He's Still Causing Trouble") mistakenly implied that Berman thought 2012 was the worst period for retailers.

(January 7, 2014) - Today, Mayor Pedro E. Segarra was joined by Connecticut's Department of Housing Commissioner Evonne Klein to announce the first completed renovation by the Hartford Restoration Project at 194 South Whitney Street in Hartford.
The program offers financial assistance of up to $30,000 to eligible owner-occupied residences to remediate external blight conditions. The Hartford Restoration Project (HRP) is financed by recouped costs of private property remediation, special assessments, reimbursement for board-ups of vacant properties and other anti-blight services provided by the City of Hartford. The HRP falls under the Livable and Sustainable Neighborhoods Initiative (LSNI), a special task force established by Mayor Segarra to combat blight. The LSNI group collaborates with Hartford's Housing Department to increase property rehabilitation efforts across the City.
"I'm really proud of how far this project has come in a short time," said Mayor Segarra. "I'm pleased that we identified a way to work with residents who want to improve their homes, and to reinvest the revenue from our anti-blight services back into the community."
Donna Nelson, the owner of 194 South Whitney, who was previously cited for blight conditions under City ordinance, was the first applicant for the program. Since then the City has received 5 more applications.
"I'm so grateful for this program," said Nelson. "The staff was easy especially easy to work with and did an exceptional job explaining the process. They helped to guide me through every step of the way."
To qualify for HRP, properties must be a single-, two-, or three-family owner-occupied building. Commercial properties—including mixed-use properties—are not eligible. The loan is deferred with zero percent interest, and requires no monthly payments unless the property is sold and/or not owner-occupied within five years. The program does not finance rehabilitation that is cosmetic or non-essential. Repairs such as broken or missing windows or doors, damaged or collapsing exterior, crumbling foundations and/or broken fences are covered.
The program is a collaborative effort between LSNI and the City's Housing Department
"As I meet with mayors and first selectmen across the state, they share a concern about blight and the impact it can have on neighborhoods. This project is one worth noting, as the City of Hartford has found a creative way to address this important issue," said Commissioner Klein.

Tim Eyman, the state's premier initiative entrepreneur, endorsed Spokane City Council Candidate Mike Fagan this week.
This should come as no huge surprise to anyone with the remotest knowledge of state politics, considering Fagan is Eyman's longtime cohort in a dozen or so years of initiative pushes, including I-1033, which will share a few lines on the ballot with Spokane's 1st District Council race in November. Fagan faces Amber Waldref for the seat being vacated by Al French; there's only two of them, so there's no primary in August.
But Eyman's announcement is noteworthy in several respects.
It's the first candidate Eyman has ever endorsed, he said. Not that other candidates haven't asked, but up to this point, the standard response was "we do initiatives."
It's also a sign that the race could get pointed after the primary. Or as he puts it "raising the discourse level."
Case in point: Eyman's press release announcing his endorsement, in which he refers repeatedly to Waldref as "crazy-whacko-Seattle-greenie". The worst slur in the string, Seattle, is odd considering Waldref was born and raised in Spokane. True, she lived in Seattle for several years, but her Lilac City bonafides — St. Patrick's Grade School, G-Prep — are at least as good as Fagan's, who came to Spokane from the one place most Spokanites dis more than Seattle.
As for the rest of it, Eyman says he hasn't met Waldref, but said he made his judgment from her campaign Web site. Which is a bit strange because he calls her an "Envision Spokane-supporter" which is a bit different from her Web site that she finds most of the group's aspirations "laudable" but doesn't support their charter change.
"I'm just calling it as I see it," Eyman said. "I've never been known to go with the blue suit and yellow tie and 'I respectfully disagree with my opponent' route."
Nor does Eyman, who many years has to fight foes who want to keep his initiatives off the ballot with the argument that the voters should decide, see any problem with Fagan fighting to keep the Envision Spokane charter change off the Spokane ballot.
"I see initiatives that appear on the ballot that make my heart sink," he said, and the Envision Spokane proposal is "just flat-out nuts."
Which is probably a shade kinder than some of the things opponents have said about the initiatives Eyman and Fagan have shepherded onto the state ballot.

Hyundai And Cummins Announce Joint Venture Partnership To Build MidRange Engines In South Korea
Hyundai Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. (KRX: 009540) and Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) have announced a 50/50 joint venture partnership to manufacture MidRange engines in Korea extending from 150 hp to 300 hp (112-224 kW) output for application in a wide range of Hyundai construction and industrial equipment.

The HCEC joint venture operation will be located in the city of Daegu, Korea, with engine manufacturing to commence in 2014. The new facility will have a capacity in place to build more than 50,000 engines per year at full production.
HCEC will supply engines spanning the MidRange 5.9-liter to 8.9-liter displacement range for Hyundai excavators, wheel loaders and industrial equipment built in Ulsan and other locations worldwide. The joint venture engines will power Hyundai equipment in markets with high growth potential such as Russia, the Middle East, Africa and Southeast Asia."I am delighted to announce our new engine joint venture with Hyundai, one of the most highly respected companies in the global construction equipment industry and for many years an important customer of Cummins off-highway business," Freeland said. "The formation of the HCEC joint venture takes Cummins working relationship with Hyundai to a much closer level, where we can share our respective expertise and better position both parent companies for growth in markets around the world." Byeong-Ku Choe, Chief Operating Officer and President – Hyundai Construction Equipment Division, said, "Cummins is an important engine supplier to Hyundai, with a proven capability to improve the performance of our equipment, so our new HCEC joint venture can be seen as a natural progression of this longstanding cooperation.

Graham's 1991 Vintage Port gets my nod as the port of the vintage. While keeping in mind that Graham's aims for a sweeter-styled port, there is no doubting the opaque purple/black color, or the explosive nose of black fruits, licorice, spring flowers, and tar. Thick and full-bodied, with a satiny texture and a blockbuster, alcoholic finish, this is a top-notch vintage port.
(2/ 1995)
Lovely plum and coffee aromas open to a full-bodied palate, with sweet, decadent fruit. Velvety, with a long finish. Lots going on. '91/'92 Port retrospective. Best after 2007.

Tranzyme Pharma stated that consistent with the ULISES 007 data released in March 2012, ULISES 008 did not meet the primary and secondary endpoints as there was no statistical difference between the ulimorelin and placebo groups. The two trials were identical in design and population.ULISES 008 was a double-blind, multinational, placebo-controlled study to evaluate ulimorelin in accelerating GI recovery in subjects who had undergone partial bowel resection.The company stated that the study was designed to randomize approximately 330 patients to once-daily IV administration of either 160 or 480 micrograms/kg of study drug, or placebo. The primary endpoint was the time to recovery of GI function as defined by the time from the end of surgery to GI2. GI2 is defined as the later of first bowel movement and tolerance of solid food."These results confirm the findings of the earlier ULISES 007 study and support our earlier decision to stop all NDA activities for ulimorelin," said Franck Rousseau, Chief Medical Officer, Tranzyme Pharma. "Tranzyme is now focusing its development efforts on TZP-102, an oral ghrelin agonist in Phase 2b for the treatment of diabetic gastroparesis. Diabetic gastroparesis is a chronic upper GI motility disorder and since the preponderance of ghrelin receptors are located in the upper GI tract, we believe TZP-102 is well suited for this indication. Top-line results from the Phase 2b trial are expected by the end of the year," said Franck Rousseau.

Great sex does more than blow your mind—it's good for your heart, your head and your beauty.
Smoke may be great for grilling and haunted houses, but you don't have to be the Marlboro man to know what kind of damage smoking can do to your lungs.
Pumping smoke down your airways makes you eight years older—putting you at risk for lung diseases like emphysema, cancer and bronchitis. Just two months of being smoke-free can make you one year younger. After five years of smoke-free living, a former smoker can regain seven of the eight years lost to smoking.
The Science of Quitting Smoking
We're a society that doesn't like quitters—not in sports, school or food-eating contests. So it's against our nature to give up something we've started—even cigs.
One of the toughest parts of quitting is that cigarettes are both psychologically and physiologically addictive. From the physiological end, it seems the release of dopamine—a naturally occurring substance in your body that dulls pain and causes pleasure—is triggered when you're smoking.
You get used to the elevated dopamine levels, so when you don't smoke, you crave the cig with no explanation as to why (it's almost like when a pregnant woman craves pickles). Luckily, those dopamine levels don't stay elevated all the time, and if you can quit, you can switch your dopamine level back to normal.
Psychologically, smoking becomes a behavioral addiction—you have a cig with a beer, after dinner or sex. And you get used to the feeling of picking something up and putting it in your mouth.
The hardest part of quitting comes the first week. You feel cravings and are sluggish. You start producing and expelling a lot of gunk from the lining of your lungs. But all that subsides after a few weeks, if you can push through.
Quitting and Weight Gain
One of the biggest concerns with quitting smoking is the potential weight gain. On average (and without the walking), men gain 10 pounds after quitting, and women about eight.
Six months later, the typical woman is just two pounds heavier than when she was smoking, but those women and men who use a plan of walking and weight lifting are actually an average of six pounds lighter than the day they quit.
Though the dangers of smoking far outweigh the dangers of this additional weight, you can prevent weight gain during the quitting process.
Walking helps. Chewing sugarless gum eases oral cravings. Put a rubber band around your wrist so you have something to do with your fingers besides pick up baby back ribs. Concentrate on fruit, vegetables and unbuttered popcorn (low-fat snacks), with a few healthy-fat snacks like six walnuts along with the fruit.
If you can make any change that'll improve your health and make you live younger, it's this one. For once in your life, be a quitter—and be proud of it.
QUIZ: Are You Getting Enough Exercise?
Secondhand Smoke
Secondhand smoke is one of the few actions another person can do that can contribute to your aging process. Spending an hour in someone else's smoke is like smoking four cigarettes yourself.
In other words, for every cigarette that a smoker smokes, you're inhaling about a third of it yourself. Just look at the consequences: Spending four hours a day in a smoking environment can make you as much as 6.9 years older.
That's all the more reason that if you live with a smoker, you have to encourage that smoker to quit. It'll help your partner, and not to mention, you!

Think You've Missed the Gold and Silver Rally? Think Again, Says Marc Faber
Each time the two monetary metals reach new highs, calls for the end of the bull market in gold and silver come quickly and frequently.
At $500, $850, and ever since gold first cracked $1,000 per Troy ounce in March 2008, the gold price remained the focus of those paid to report a popular view among those firmly entrenched in a fiat paper system that's rewarded them handsomely for two generations.
Those unencumbered by a financial system – a system that pays its employees "more than four times the average salary in the rest of the economy," economist Paul Krugman wrote in 2008 – make a living by developing a reputation for accurately appraising the current state of the vilified gold and silver market. Otherwise, these unleashed analysts and money managers will no longer retain their flocks and fortunes.
One such tell-it-like-it-is investment manager is the publisher and editor of the Gloom Boom Doom Report, Marc Faber – who, as a side matter, says that the choice for the name of his report, Gloom Boom Doom, came about from his observations of changing investor sentiment during complete market cycles.
So, is it Gloom, Boom or Doom for the precious metals? Faber rejects the notion of a precious metals market soon entering a "Doom" stage.
"If it [gold] were a bubble a lot of people would have gold. The whole world would be trading gold 24 hours a day," he told CNBC's Joe Kernen. "But I don't think it's really a bubble. I think gold is maybe cheaper today than it was in 1999, when it was $252."

The city government of Sevastopol has proposed that Russia make it a Soviet-style "closed" city, which foreigners and even Russians living even in other parts of the country would not be able to visit.
On July 22, members of the Sevastopol legislative assembly formally appealed to Russian President Vladimir Putin and other Russian officials asking them to impose "restrictions on the stay of people not permanently residing in and not registered in Sevastopol." The annexation of Crimea to Russia earlier this year was accompanied by a remarkable degree of Soviet nostalgia, but the return of closed cities takes that nostalgia to an unexpected extreme.
According to the website sevastopol.su (yes, ".su" as in "Soviet Union"): "The initiators of the appeal are motivated by the fact that Sevastopol is the main base of the Black Sea Fleet of Russia and a factor of stability in the entire region, and so requires a special regime of secrecy and ensuring its security. The deputies believe that the unstable circumstances in the world and the fundamentally aggressive attitude of the Western community towards Russia can attract a host of provocative acts in Crimea and Sevastopol."
A Black Sea-wide naval cooperation program in operation since 2001 is "frozen" due to the war in Ukraine, Russian media has reported. Given that the participants in the program, BlackSeaFor, include Russia, its post-Soviet foes Ukraine and Georgia, and NATO members Turkey, Bulgaria, and Romania, it's probably more noteworthy that the program hasn't been canceled altogether. But anyway, Russian military sources have told ITAR-TASS that they managed to thwart Ukraine's efforts to kick Russia out of the organization:
"The Kiev authorities' attempts to garner the BlackSeaFor member-countries' support for its anti-Russian initiative failed. No BlackSeaFor state has upheld this initiative," the source told ITAR-TASS on Friday.
"From May to June the Ukrainian authorities were sending their envoys to Bulgaria, Romania, Turkey and Georgia for holding talks with their military and political leaders. Ukraine's staff in Sofia, Bucharest, Ankara and Tbilisi were running around government offices. However, the attempts were vain," it said. "The BlackSeaFor countries' position was to preserve status quo, i.e. the existing format with Russia's participation.
Ukraine was informed about the BlackSeaFor member-states' view to freeze the organisation's activity until the situation in Ukraine normalises," the source said.

The government of Kyrgyzstan is complaining that the United States is reducing its military cooperation in the wake of the eviction of the air base that the Americans operated there until last month.
In an interview with Interfax, Deputy Defense Minister Zamir Suerkulov said that "recently, the intensity of contacts between our sides in the sphere of military cooperation is decreasing." Suerkulov added that Kyrgyzstan would like to maintain the level of cooperation "but the Americans do it their own way. For the continuation of contacts the Americans proposed creating a legal base similar to the one which was implemented during the time of the [Manas] Transit Center, but we didn't want that."
According to most recent data on U.S. security assistance to Central Asia, Kyrgyzstan's has decreased, but not any more than in any of the other countries of the region. I asked the State Department to clarify what happened, and they provided this statement:
Our security cooperation has historically included bilateral work on key, mutually-beneficial areas of counterterrorism, counter-narcotics,border security, and building peacekeeping capability. The termination of the 2009 Agreement for Cooperation in July 2014 severely inhibits the ability of the United States to continue its military assistance and cooperation with the defense and security ministries of the Kyrgyz Republic.
A helicopter from the German airbase in southern Uzbekistan had to make an emergency landing, accidentally setting a wheat field on fire, the German embassy in Tashkent told The Bug Pit.
The episode was first reported by Uzbek media on June 16. The website Union of Independent Journalists of Central Asia said that "a German military helicopter was forced to make an emergency landing after it began to smoke, and a spark from the engine started a field on fire. This caused a negative reaction in the local population."
In a statement to The Bug Pit, a representative of the German embassy in Tashkent confirmed that "a German helicopter experienced engine problems and had to perform an emergency landing. As the helicopter lost some hot parts of its engine, a nearby field of wheat caught fire. Competent authorities are investigating the causes of the accident. Germany is going to compensate the owners of the field." No one was injured, the embassy added.
Reporting on the German base in Termez has been very scant, but it was established in 2002 (shortly after the U.S.'s own base, a little north in Karshi-Khanabad) to support Germany's contributions to the war in Afghanistan, just across the river from Termez. Germany has been paying between 10 and 15 million Euros per year in rent to the Uzbekistan government for the use of the base. In 2006, Der Spiegel reported:
When Kazakhstan opened its biennial defense expo, KADEX, in May it announced that it would sign over a billion dollars in deals during the event. "We will prepare and sign more than 32 agreements and memorandums totaling $1.2 billion on purchase of military equipment and international cooperation," said a senior defense official, Major General Talgat Zhanzhumenov, before the show. "We are looking at creating joint ventures of our enterprises with partners from Russia, [with] European partners, [and] we're looking at several projects with Turkish defense enterprises."
That $1.2 billion was a pretty remarkable figure, more than Kazakhstan's current defense procurement budget for a year. But Kazakhstan government officials would not give specifics about those deals, in spite of the apparently precise numbers they had available. First they told reporters that the package would be announced at the end of the show, then at a press conference two weeks after the show.
That didn't happen, but there were still some indications: a press release from Kazakhstan Engineering, the state defense manufacturer, mentioned deals related to American drones, French air defense radars, and Chinese naval vessels. But they wouldn't give details. (And officials from General Atomics, the drone manufacturer, declined to comment; apparently they weren't ready to make an announcement.)
China's foreign minister has suggested that Mongolia could become the next full member of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, even though Mongolia has appeared far less eager to join the organization than other aspirants like India, Iran, and Pakistan.
At an event marking the 13th anniversary of the organization, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said: "We have received a message from the Mongolian prime minister on the occasion. Although we have not scrutinized the contents of this message yet, we regard it as a good signal," he added. "Ten years have passed, and it is time to consider preparations for granting Mongolia a status of a full-fledged member of the SCO."
That's an odd statement, particularly regarding the Mongolian prime minister's message. And in the past, Mongolia hasn't shown too much interest in becoming a full member, although it's been an observer since 2004. There are a number of reasons for that, wrote local analyst Mendee Jargalsaikhan in a 2012 paper (pdf). For one, Mongolia's ties to Central Asia are not particularly strong. In addition, Mongolia is a relatively successful democracy, and "the SCO is perceived in Ulaanbaatar as an 'authoritarian club' whose members main concern is their own regime security," Mendee writes. And SCO membership also could diminish Mongolia's foreign policy independence, exemplified by its "third neighbor" strategy of courting allies other than its two massive geographic neighbors, China and Russia. "Joining the SCO could ... weaken both Mongolia's domestic democratization efforts, and its international image with the European Union or the United States," Mendee writes.
The United States's top military logistics official has visited Georgia to discuss the country becoming a bigger part of U.S. military transportation network.
General Paul Selva, the head of U.S. Transportation Command, took a three-day trip to Georgia last week and met with President Giorgi Margvelashvili, Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili and military and defense ministry officials. Garibashvili discussed with Selva the "modernization plan of Georgian railway, Baku-Tbilisi-Kars and Anaklia port projects. As the head of the United States Transportation Command, General Paul Selva said during the meeting, Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway gives the new opportunities for shipment by railway," according to a release from Garibashvili's office.
In May, Georgian officials said that the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railroad, currently under construction by Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Turkey, would be finished by the end of 2015, several years behind schedule and seemingly too late to get much business from the U.S./NATO "retrograde" transit out of Afghanistan. Azerbaijani and Turkish officials have blamed Georgia for the delay. In late May, Turkey's Minister of Transport, Maritime and Communications, Lutfi Elvan said that "although the work on the railway's Turkish section has been completed by over 80 percent, work in the Georgian territory is delayed," Trend.az reported. "In particular, delays are observed in the construction of 2,700-2,800 meters long tunnels in Georgia," Elvan said. "He went on to add that Azerbaijan and Turkey have called on Georgia to complete the work in its territory."
Competing Black Sea naval exercises by NATO and Russia have again raised tensions in the region as the once sleepy sea has become a venue for geopolitical competition.
Russia's exercise started July 4 and involves 20 ships and 20 aircraft. Its scenario was the "destruction of enemy ships in the sea and organization of air defense of naval groups and coastal infrastructure."
NATO's exercises, called "Breeze" and formally hosted by Bulgaria, also started July 4 and continue until July 13, with ships from Greece, Italy, Romania, Turkey, the U.K. and the U.S. also taking part, along with naval patrol planes from Turkey and the U.S. The exercises are "aimed at improving the tactical compatibility and collaboration among naval forces of the alliance's member states."
And the U.S. participation, with the guided missile cruiser USS Vella Gulf is intended to "reassure" allies in the region, a thinly veiled reference to Russia: "It is important to support and reassure our partners, we hope our presence in the Black Sea continues to strengthen those bonds," the USS Vella Gulf's commander said.
Over 1,000 soldiers, including about 300 Americans, took part in joint military exercises in Mongolia aimed at preparing for international peacekeeping missions. The annual exercise, known as Khaan Quest, is the biggest event in the U.S.-Mongolia military relationship, which has been gaining importance as Mongolia tries to diversify its foreign relations beyond its two immediate neighbors, China and Russia, and as the U.S. is happy to help.
In addition to Americans and Mongolians the participants in this year's version of Khaan Quest include troops from South Korea, India, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Japan, France, United Kingdom and Germany. Several more countries sent observers, including Belarus, China, India, Kazakhstan, Russia, and Tajikistan. The exercises were held from June 20-July 1.
The military scenarios drilled include riot control, response to an improvised explosive device, and community outreach programs like renovating a school and operating health clinics.
Russia's turn will come in a few weeks; its annual joint military exercises with Mongolia, called Selenga, will this year take place in mid-August and will involve about 500 Russian soldiers.
Ties between Afghanistan and its Central Asian neighbors to the north, in spite of years of encouragement by Western officials, remain at a very low level, with the conspicuous exception being the cross-border drug trade. That's the conclusion of a comprehensive new report, Between Cooperation And Insulation: Afghanistan's Relations with the Central Asian Republics.
"The trans-border narcotics trade between Afghanistan and Central Asia – supported, managed and/or protected by government officials and security forces on both sides of the border – is the one enduring economic connection that has demonstrated resilience since the fall of the Taleban, as well as promise for the future. It is the only true cross-border economic activity that is truly supported by all relevant state and non-state actors," write the report's authors, Christian Bleuer and Said Reza Kazemi.
And so, they argue, Western policies aimed at stemming the drug trade suffer from the fatal flaw that their partners in this effort, the Central Asian governments, benefit from the trafficking:=
"[S]ecurity risks that link Afghanistan to the former Soviet republics of Central Asia are often highly exaggerated, especially so the alleged link between narcotics trafficking and radical Islamist groups. In reality, throughout Central Asia the main players in narcotics trafficking are government employees, security officers and mafia figures," the report says. "Throughout Central Asia the narcotics trade has deeply penetrated the economic, social, political and security structures and created mutually beneficial relations. Powerful government and security figures use state resources and structures to actively assist and/or control this trade in cooperation with powerful mafia leaders."

Syracuse Crunch
AHL Game Night: 1-24-14 Bears at CrunchSubmitted by pete on January 24, 2014 - 21:13
No comeback for the Crunch tonight.
Kristers Gudlevskis allowed 3 goals on 24 shots for the loss.
First Period
HER Wellman, (11) (Strachan, Segal), 6:53
Second Period
HER Wellman, (12) (Deschamps, Kolomatis), 7:44
HER Watkins, (4) (LeBlanc, Kolomatis), 13:26
Third Period
SYR DiSalvatore, (3) (Connolly, Korobov), 9:38
HER Watkins, (5) (Byers, Potulny), 17:27 (EN)
Jon DiSalvatore was the game's third star.
Syracuse has fallen, at this moment, 7 points out of 8th in the Eastern Conference. They face Hershey again tomorrow.
Box score from TheAHL.com.
DiSalvatore Makes Instant Impact with CrunchSubmitted by jghoughtaling on January 22, 2014 - 11:34
The way Jon DiSalvatore looks at it, he doesn't have much time to waste.
The 32-year-old forward, after being the odd-man out due to a restriction on import players with Munich of the Deutsche Eishockey Liga in Germany, wasn't getting the ice time he had hoped for in his first European season.
DiSalvatore didn't want to wait around, so he chose to return to North America.
"I just felt like the way things were being run out there, it felt like it was becoming a wasted year, a wasted opportunity," said DiSalvatore, a veteran of 10 American Hockey League seasons. "I don't feel like at this point in my career I have any years to waste."
Connolly Nets Hat Trick, But Crunch Fall to Senators 6-3Submitted by jghoughtaling on January 18, 2014 - 21:54
Brett Connolly scored three times, but the Syracuse Crunch fell to the Binghamton Senators, 6-3, at the Onondaga County War Memorial Saturday.
Connolly is the third Crunch player to record a hat trick this season. Although he didn't record any points in his previous three games, Connolly had an eight-game point streak from Dec. 20 to Jan. 8.
"It's obviously a lot better when you have a good game and you win," Connolly said. "We need wins right now, and they're hard to come by in this league."
AHL Game Night: 1-18-14 Senators at CrunchSubmitted by pete on January 18, 2014 - 21:23
Syracuse follows suit and wastes a Connolly hat trick.
Kristers Gudlevskis allowed 3 goals on 11 shots before being lifted at the end of the First Period. Cedrick Desjardins allowed 2 on 17 shots the rest of the way for the old back door loss.
First Period
SYR Connolly, (10) (Paquette), 5:59 (PP)
BNG O'Brien, (6) (Schneider), 11:46 (SH)
BNG Petersson, (14) (Wideman, Pageau), 14:26
BNG Puempel, (14) (Da Costa, Hoffman), 15:45 (PP)
SYR Connolly, (11) (Namestnikov), 17:26
Second Period
BNG Prince, (8) (New, Pageau), 15:28 (PP)
Third Period
SYR Connolly, (12) (Namestnikov, Taormina), 4:01 (PP)
BNG Cowick, (7) (Claesson, Hamilton), 9:36
BNG Petersson, (15) (Pageau), 17:40 (EN)
Brett Connolly and Vladislav Namestnikov were the game's first and third stars. It's unbelievable the organization had hat tricks at the NHL and AHL levels today and neither team won. That's got to be incredibly rare.
Syracuse is still 3 points back of St. John's for 8th in the Eastern Conference, but the loss allows Hershey and Worcester to jockey for position ahead of the Crunch in the standings. With the hole they've dug, every loss will have that effect from here on out.
Box score from TheAHL.com.
Richard Registers Two Assists, Crunch Top Bears, 3-2Submitted by jghoughtaling on January 17, 2014 - 21:44
Mike Angelidis accepted his teammates' congratulations and then leaned in for a conversation with one of his team's rookies.
The Syracuse Crunch captain, having opened the scoring 9:30 into the first period, wanted to let Tanner Richard know his work on the goal -- battling through a check and making the pass -- wasn't going unnoticed.
"I said 'That's a great second effort, that's all you,'" Angelidis said. "When you see a young guy pulling out a second effort like that, you just try to get him going and give him confidence."
Richard finished with a pair of assists for his first multi-point pro game, as the Crunch topped the Hershey Bears, 3-2, at the Onondaga County War Memorial Friday.
"I thought he was moving his feet a little bit more," said Syracuse coach Rob Zettler. "That's the biggest thing for Tanner, when he's stationary he's not effective. When he's moving his feet, he can be really effective."

Rumor has it that U2 is scheduled to release its latest album in the fall. According to the Irish Times, which quoted an anonymous source, the band will release a "single in September, album September-October, tour announced December, first date April next year."
"The album has been actually been finished for a few months, but a decision was taken not to release during the summer months because of holidays etc," the insider adds.
"There was one last, frantic scramble earlier this year to get a big single, so they got Adele's writer-producer, Paul Epworth, into the studio."
Earlier this year, U2 manager Paul McGuiness talked about the band's progress:
"It's great. It's very different from what they have done so far, but still sounds like U2. Bono sings better than ever. As he gets older, his voice is even more interesting."
