Economic value added (EVA) is a performance measure developed by
Stern Stewart & Co that attempts to measure the true economic profit produced by a company. It is frequently also referred to as "economic profit", and provides a measurement of a company's economic success (or failure) over a period of time. Such a metric is useful for investors who wish to determine how well a company has produced value for its investors, and it can be compared against the company's peers for a quick analysis of how well the company is operating in its industry.
Economic profit can be calculated by taking a company's net after-tax operating profit and subtracting from it the product of the company's invested capital multiplied by its percentage cost of capital. For example, if a fictional firm, Cory's Tequila Company (CTC), has 2005 net after-tax operating profits of $200,000 and invested capital of $2 million at an average cost of 8.5%, then CTC's economic profit would be computed as $200,000 - ($2 million x 8.5%) = $30,000. This $30,000 represents an amount equal to 1.5% of CTC's invested capital, providing a standardized measure for the wealth the company generated over and above its cost of capital during the year.
Market value added (MVA), on the other hand, is simply the difference between the current total market value of a company and the capital contributed by investors (including both shareholders and bondholders). MVA is not a performance metric like EVA, but instead is a wealth metric, measuring the level of value a company has accumulated over time. As a company performs well over time, it will retain earnings. This will improve the book value of the company's shares, and investors will likely bid up the prices of those shares in expectation of future earnings, causing the company's market value to rise. As this occurs, the difference between the company's market value and the capital contributed by investors (its MVA) represents the excess price tag the market assigns to the company as a result of it past operating successes.

Struggle of the seaweed II
"… Brace yourselves chaps, here comes another one… "
I spent close to 2 hours sitting on the beach behind these seaweed-covered rocks. The perfect place for anyone to sit protected from the constant barrage of waves hitting the shore. Yet, the seaweed thrives despite the isochronous beating of the waves. Felt like an unceasing struggle.

July 13 (Bloomberg) -- South African Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan said the government's efforts to ensure a competitive exchange rate, including a buildup of reserves and fewer exchange controls, were having the desired effect.
The rand has fallen 3.3 percent against the dollar this year, trimming its gains against the U.S. currency since the beginning of 2009 to 37 percent. Labor unions and businesses have called on the government to do more to weaken the rand, saying the currency's strength is undermining exports.
"Policy measures implemented thus far have helped to prevent further nominal appreciation" of the rand "despite the fact that aggregate capital flows have remained positive," Gordhan said in a written reply to a parliamentary question circulated via e-mail today. "Fiscal and monetary policy have been adjusted to support the economic recovery. Real interest rates remain low and supportive of growth."
The rand traded at 6.8536 per dollar at 11:17 a.m. in Johannesburg, up from 6.8764 late yesterday.
South Africa's exchange rate policy has to take into account "the national interest," Gordhan said.
"If we spend more on reserve purchases, we either need to borrow more or spend less on something else," he said. "If we impose capital controls, we risk raising the cost of domestic capital and not have enough inflows to finance the current account deficit."
Manufacturing Weakness
South African manufacturing output increased 0.6 percent in May, the government statistics agency said yesterday, less than the 2.4 percent median estimate of 15 economists surveyed by Bloomberg.
"There are a lot of pressures on manufacturing; lack of demand from Europe, uncertainty in the global economy, the overvaluation of the rand, competitiveness issues," Gordhan told reporters in Johannesburg today. "Over the last six to nine months manufacturing has coped reasonably. We need to do more as government to support the manufacturing sector."
Gordhan reiterated that there were benefits of having a strong rand, including the fact that it helped contain fuel price increases.
"If the rand were to weaken to 8 rand per dollar and the oil price rose back to $125 a barrel, then the petrol price would rise above 11 rand a liter," from 9.92 rand currently, he said. "This would impact negatively on household spending power, increase inflation and ultimately result in higher interest rates, which would reduce economic growth."

Ok, a little background.
Some time ago, I moved back home because my folks went out of the country and planned to stay there for a while. They'll be back some time in April. Anyway, we just had a convo over the phone and they just came up with a plan. So, when they come back they want to move to Indiana where property tax is significantly lower so they can enjoy their retirement better. But they don't want to lose this house because it was the first new house they bought for our family.
They want to sell it to me.
It's a two story house with finished walk-out basement, 5 bedrooms, yard with a forest behind the house, etc. It was designed for 7 people (my family). Nowadays, all my brothers and sisters are married and are living all over the country. And for a while I was living a few hours away.
Anyway, my honey and I were thinking of getting a place a lot smaller than this one. But woohoo if we can get a place like this. And with parents in another state, there's really no danger of clashes I suppose.
Right now, I'm leaning toward accepting their offer. They'll sell it to me for super cheap compared to what the current market value is for this property. Plus it's also the house I grew up in. Perfect place to raise kids, actually.
Anyway, any way this could be a bad idea?

Dog Obedience Trainer: Salary and Career Facts
Dog trainers teach dogs and owners basic commands and behavioral skills. Read on to learn more about a trainer's job duties, work environment, training requirements and earning potential. Schools offering Animal Care degrees can also be found in these popular choices.
What Will I Do As a Dog Obedience Trainer?
As a dog obedience trainer, you'll teach dogs to respond and adhere to commands and other rules governing their behavior. These commands may be specific, such as sitting, walking, laying down or heeling. They can also be general behavior commands regarding housetraining, protection or socialization with other animals or children. Most obedience trainers work with domestic dogs, but some may train canines for hunting or competition.
Trainers typically use positive and negative reinforcement methods to train dogs. Reinforcement techniques are also known as bridges, and may include saying 'good dog' or giving out treats or toys when the dog follows instructor commands. When a dog doesn't follow commands, trainers may speak to them in a loud, strong, disapproving tone of voice or say 'bad dog.' They may also encourage dog owners to use punishments as negative reinforcement techniques at home. In some cases, trainers may use clickers, or slight physical pressure like tugging on a dog's leash, to elicit certain behaviors. Aggressive physical training is generally frowned upon within the industry.
Where Would I Work?
As an obedience trainer, you may work exclusively with dogs or with dogs and their owners simultaneously. If you work with both, you'll generally be responsible for teaching owners commands and behavioral reinforcement techniques. Canine-owner training generally occurs within structured dog obedience classes, which are often offered through community colleges, 4-H clubs or pet stores. You can also pursue employment as a dog obedience trainer at a kennel or animal shelter. Some obedience trainers may work on a freelance basis, offering their services to individual dog owners in their area.
What Kind of Training Would I Need?
You generally won't need any specific formal educational training to become a dog obedience trainer, but experience is preferred. Many jobs offer some training to new employees, but you'll still need existing knowledge of dog obedience training in order to get hired. According to the National Association of Dog Obedience Instructors, many aspiring trainers learn their craft by working with their own dogs, then go on to volunteer training positions and move up from there (www.nadoi.org). You can also learn about dog training by taking courses or enrolling in a certificate program at a community college or trade school.
Training programs teach you about different dog breeds and the unique methods that may be required to train them. You'll also acquire some basic knowledge of canines' behavior and learning processes. Courses provide in-depth education in the various positive and negative reinforcement training techniques outlined above. They also cover physical conditioning, nutrition and dog care techniques. Business operations, accounting and marketing may also be covered.
How Much Can I Earn?
As of May 2009, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported that animal trainers earned a median hourly wage of $14.94 (www.bls.gov). This number represents all animal trainers and isn't exclusive to dog trainers. However, the BLS also states that since the majority of animal trainers work with dogs, the above-mentioned figure is likely similar to the median pay rate of dog trainers alone. According to PayScale.com, as of December 2010 dog obedience trainers earned a median hourly wage of $8.72-$11.48 working from an employer. Earnings potential was the highest for self-employed dog obedience trainers, who earned a median hourly wage of $24.19-$50.00 per hour, also as of December 2010 from PayScale.com.

The apron of our breakfast table is slightly too low for DH to get his legs under the table. It is an antique, so I do not want to modify the apron. That only leaves raising the table. It needs to go up about an inch for DH to be comfortable. It is a barley twist pub table with 4 legs. I thought about adding sliders to each leg, but I don't think I can get an inch out of a slider. Ideas? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'd shim it where the legs are attached underneath the table. |
Super idea, Tib, but the legs are inset in the corners. The legs and the apron are joined together to make the framework that supports the top. |
So it seems to me that your only choices are to either trim the apron by an inch, or add 1" feet to the table. But I'm confused. Don't the legs come off? |

Casters? Or maybe add stained half wood balls (is that too weird) |
- Posted by live_wire_oak (My Page) on Wed, Jul 9, 14 at 11:15
It would be easier to make the chairs shorter than to do questionable alterations to a potentially valuable antique table. |
- Posted by Bumblebeez (My Page) on Wed, Jul 9, 14 at 11:17
I would buy a dowel or something of that nature, of the same size and shape as the bottom of the leg. Cut it to fit and stain it to match the table. |
Go to Pinterest and look at the ideas that others have used for bed risers. Maybe one of them will work for your table. For example, one person used PVC pipe to raise the legs on a folding table. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Bed risers on Pinterest
I second the casters idea. You can buy the kind that lock so your table doesn't scoot around. You may be lucky and already have the holes drilled in the bottom of the legs. ML |
Can you post a photo of the table? If it were me, I would follow nosoccermom's advice and add a bit of oak trim to the bottom of each leg. You can get all kinds of shapes -- if you Google -- look for oak turnings or mouldings or spindles -- all different sizes and shapes. I'm sure you can find something that can be fitted to the bottoms of the table legs, stained to match. Here is one... they call this one an "oil drum", lol... |

Gorgeous, gorgeous table. I, too, have a tall DH, whose knees were an issue with the table I absolutely wanted. If you can't have him sit at the side with the leaf, is there a way you could make his seat cushion flatter? Or look into casters |
This post was edited by nosoccermom on Wed, Jul 9, 14 at 14:08
Looking at the photo of your table, I'm wondering if you don't already have leg-extenders. Can you unscrew those feet at the bottom of the legs? Anyhow. What you want are bun-feet. You can get them in oak, here... Scroll down for all different sizes and shapes. |
Here is a link that might be useful: bun feet
nsm, I have never seen a barley twist table with casters before. When you first posted them, I couldn't envision it. But I really really like the picture of the table! Thanks for the detective work! Do you think those casters would play nicely with a seagrass rug? Would they put too much weight in a too small footprint? mc, the leg is all one piece. Or, if it isn't, the bottom element doesn't easily unscrew. Considering the construction of the table, I suspect if it isn't one piece, then it is doweled and glued. I think I'm going to pull out one of the leaves when we use the table and if that doesn't work, then I'll look at the casters. Adding a one inch bun foot would come next, but getting a good color match will be a challenge. |
That is a gorgeous table and looks like the real deal. I think nosoccermom's idea of casters is a good one. That table would look very nice on casters, IMO. |

Such a pretty table! Hobby Lobby has quite a few wood pieces available to use as height adjusters. |
I have a barley twist table too, and I think casters would look great. I would think you would want locking ones -?- |
Here is a link that might be useful: Here's a nice selection....
I have a barley twist drop-leaf table. Love barley twist! I would not mess with your table or chairs. I think if you have to do anything - if it were me - casters would be the only thing I'd try. |
- Posted by nosoccermom (My Page) on Wed, Jul 9, 14 at 16:18
I have a table with casters (6, but only 4 are touching the floor when the table isn't extended) on a seagrass rug. No problem whatsover; it's been about 2 1/2 years now. |
Thanks all for the many compliments on the table. Mom bought a pair -- one for me and one for my sister. We have both enjoyed using them over the years. I appreciate the info, nsm. If I have to go that route, it is good to know that casters probably won't hurt the rug. This may all be "overcome by circumstances." I ordered bar stools today. Because it is just we two, we will probably eat at the bar more often than at the table. |
My daughter has my grandmothers table, and had the same problem. She went to the home center and bought the bun type feet, and her hubby attached them to the legs, and now it is a perfect height for everyone. With matching stain, they look like they belong on the table. |
- Posted by technicolor (My Page) on Thu, Jul 10, 14 at 11:01
If you are handy enough to remove the apron, I would buy an ornate table leg with four identical rounds and use a cut off saw. Then drill the holes for screws to raise the table. Easier to find the height needed. But I really like the idea of rollers. They would need the inserts in table legs to fit. |
Oh, tech, but that my skills and tools were up to the level you suggest. It gives me the willies to just contemplate hanging a picture! |

Probabilistic quantitative precipitation forecasts (PQPF) and quantitative snowfall (PSnow) provide our best estimate of the chance that any given location will receive an amount of rain/snow that exceeds a certain threshold value. Our regular "probability of precipitation" (PoP) forecast is the unconditional probability that a location will receive an amount of rain/melted snow that equals or exceeds 0.01 inches. The PQPF/PSnow is similar, except it is computed for the probability to exceed higher amounts (e.g., 1.00 inches or rain or 6.0 inches of snow)
The PQPF/PSnow is derived from the probability of precipitation (PoP) forecasts and our quantitative precipitation/snowfall forecast (QPF/SnowAmt). For the purpose of the calculations, the standard QPF/SnowAmt, which is an unconditional value, is converted to a conditional value by dividing it by the PoP. The resulting QPF/SnowAmt is then an amount that is conditional upon the occurrence of rain/snow at any specific location. Although this seems to be a subtle difference, it is very important.
The PQPF/PSnow is based on the climatological distribution of precipitation, which very closely matches the special gamma distribution called the exponential distribution. This distribution indicates that the probability of receiving larger rainfall/snowfall amounts decreases exponentially as the amounts get larger. The density function for the exponential distribution is:
f(x) = A(x) • (1/μ) • e-Cx/μ
where C=1.4 and A is a quadratic function of the exceedence value with a max value of 2.
This equation can be integrated from any rainfall/snowfall threshold value x, to infinity to determine the probability to exceed that value x. The term μ is the conditional QPF/SnowAmt, or average expected rainfall/snowfall amount given that precipitation occurs at the specified location. After integrating, the conditional probability to exceed an amount x is given by:
cPOE(x) = A(x) • e-Cx/μ
However, it is more useful to provide the unconditional probability to exceed the specified amounts. The cPOE(x) is simply multiplied by the probability of precipitation (PoP) at any location to determine the unconditional probability to exceed the amount x. For simplicity, the unconditional probability of exceedance will be denoted by "POE."
POE(x) = (PoP) • cPOE(x)
Rainfall Example: Assume the forecast QPF (unconditional) is 0.80 inches and the PoP is 70% and we are interested in the probability of exceeding 1.00 inch. The conditional QPF is (0.80)/(0.70) or approximately 1.14 which is now the value μ. The result is:
cPOE(1) = 2 • e-1.4/μ = 2e-1.4/(1.14) = 0.58 = 58%.
Since there is only a 70% chance of rain, the final, unconditional chance to exceed one inch of rain at a location is:
Snowfall Example: Assume the forecast SnowAmt(unconditional) is 3.7 inches and the PoP is 80% and we are interested in the probability of exceeding 6.0 inches. The conditional SnowAmt is (3.7)/(0.80) or approximately 4.62 which is now the value μ. The result is:
cPOE(6) = 2 • e-1.4•6.0)/μ = 2e-8.4/(4.62) = 0.32 = 32%.
Since there is only a 80% chance of rain, the final, unconditional chance to exceed six inches of snow at a location is:
The probability distribution can also be used to calculate a minimum and maximum value for the specified time periods. The minimum value is defined to be the 20th percentile (80% chance of exceeding this value - which also corresponds to the threshold for "categorical" precipitation - PoP >= 80%). The maximum value is defined to be the 85th percentile (15% chance of exceeding this value - which helps to account for the lengthening tail of the exponential distribution).
This work is an extension of the methods employed by the National Weather Service Forecast Office is Tulsa, OK. Many thanks to Steve Amburn - Science and Operations Officer - WFO Tulsa. Thanks also goes to Dr. Greg Mann at the National Weather Service in Detroit/Pontiac.
These results are very similar to those of Donald L. Jorgensen, William H. Klein, and Charles F. Roberts, Conditional Probabilities of Precipitation Amounts in the Conterminous United States, ESSA Technical Memorandum WBTM TDL 18, Weather Bureau Office of Systems Development Techiques Development Laboratory, Silver Spring, MD., March 1969

When news broke about the death of musician Abigail Henderson, the lead singer in bands such as the Gaslights and Atlantic Fadeout, some of the stories linked to a Tiny Horse music video directed by Mitch Brian and Todd Norris.
Tiny Horse started as a duo, including Henderson and her husband Christopher Meck, but it then expanded into a full band. In March 2013, Tiny Horse released an album called Darkly Sparkly. The song Ride was the first track on the EP.
Friends and family will gather on Saturday to remember Abigail Hope Henderson. The musician died on Tuesday in Kansas City after a five-year fight with cancer. She was 36.
In some ways, her legacy will be interwined with her illness.
Henderson was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2008. She and her husband and bandmate, Christopher Meck, had been introduced to the idea of a health care collective for musicians in New Orleans. Her own diagnosis provided an impetus.

New Year, New Love, New Attitude!
If you want a sweet love, and feel it doesn't exist take heart because it does. You do not have to settle for less than what you want. In fact, 2011 can be the year you find yourself head-over-heels in love! To get from here to there, take a look at some of the beliefs, thoughts, and behaviors that often get in the way.
The various explanations a woman may give herself or others about the reason(s), or 'excuse(s)' for the relationships she finds herself in that are a struggle for her, do not work out, or end before they have the chance to get started are varied. These occur under different circumstances, and at times, it would seem, happen for no apparent reason at all!
Regardless of the story, the underlying source is always the same, consistently supports what she believes is possible for her, and how she feels about herself, and is ultimately expressed, or played out in her life regardless of what she may say or want. It resides in a how worthy she feels she is to have the sweet love she desires.
Some of the thoughts that may get in the way of attracting a sweet love, fully enjoying her current relationship, or may prevent her from moving forward after a break-up may be . . . "He is/was too this, too that, he doesn't'/didn't do this, or that right, or at all, I don't/didn't like how he does/did, says/said, or feels/felt about this or that or me."
If these thoughts run through your mind, buttons are being pushed in you; buttons that need your attention if having the sweetest love is what you truly desire.
It's a wonderful opportunity to get to the bottom of whatever it is before it ruins the relationship you have, or keeps you from ever experiencing the kind of love you want.
For example, a few of the common feelings that are often triggered once a relationship has gotten started may include; jealousy, neediness, insecurity, or having a need to control the person. How a woman manages or expresses these emotions when they do show up, have the potential of being a deal breaker, or alternatively, an opportunity for growth for her, either in her present relationship, or in a future one.
The same goes for the guy. A man's behavior is also subject to change after a relationship gets started, and he is not exempt from experiencing these universal emotions, along with feeling doubt, and uncertainty of how to remove himself from a relationship that he realizes isn't a good fit for him after he has made a commitment. Understanding how a woman and a man manage these universal emotions has the potential of helping both sexes in identifying and addressing behaviors that can ultimately hurt the possibility of creating a sweetest love situation in a current relationship or attracting one.
Here are five questions to help assess your attitude about love relationships in general.

IIRC, linux sets the stack noexec on amd64, and amd64 processors honor it. Remember the hullaballoo about Microsoft doing the same thing? Linux had it all along; just didn't have the advertising to call it something nifty and have the press talk about it as though it were a Great New Invention. The first noexec-stack that I remember is on Solaris; there may (probably was) an implementation before that.

So Chic Looking! Kimberly from Powder Springs, GA– Verified Buyer I bought these to surround my living room wall that has a stone fireplace on it. I actually put them up the going opposite direction that it shows in the product pictures. The tiles do not fit perfectly together so I have some gaps. I haven't painted them I kind of like how it looks right out of the box. I used outdoor double sided mounting tape that I got from Home Depot. Just a little piece on each of the four corners will do it. My wall is about 10ft tall by 16ft wide with the fireplace in the middle. I ordered two boxes and half of the wall is covered. |
excited to try these Victoria from Hadley, MN– Verified Buyer I have not put these up on my wall yet, so not sure if I need to order more, but I am looking forword to see what they look like, need to get my walls painted first. I am planning on painting these white... |
Looks Great Timothy from Kansas City, MO– Verified Buyer– Top 500 Reviewer Had to have my painter and handyman paint them chromesilver and install them on my wall around my fireplace because the paint would make the curl a bit and they needed to be installed perfectly straight. Put a 12 piece of wood border on the sides to pull it together and painted those chrome too. Looks amazing! |
wall flats Lesley from Scarborough, ON– Verified Buyer Excellent quality product at reasonable price easy to install with spray glue I used to accent one bedroom wall and painted the panels looks very modern and expensive |
Great buy! YL from Lutz, FL– Verified Buyer Very good quality. Received multiple compliments from our guests. Highly recommended. |
3D EFFECT erma from Clinton, MD– Verified Buyer Love the 3D affect these flats added to my wall. Paint adhered relatively easily, after primer. |
Look good Renee from Woodbridge, VA– Verified Buyer I have no complaints but wished I had picked a different style |
Love the! Rachel from Little chute, WI– Verified Buyer Although not exactly the material I thought they would be, they are really neat and look awesome! |
Seesaw Flats Kendra from Mesa, AZ– Verified Buyer By the description I was expecting a more solid panel. They are hollow under the raised sections. The panels are very thin and I worry that one hard bump will make them concave. I would be cautious of putting them in an area with high traffic such as a walkway or hall. Think cardboard drink holders from drive thru. |
Very cool Karen from Eden, GA– Verified Buyer I like the look of the wall flats, I have not installed them yet. I plan on painting them and putting them up as an accent on a bare wall. |

comfortable beds
no coffee pot in room. could hear children yelling in next room.
the price was awesome and check-in/check-out was quick an the front desk staff were very friendly & welcoming.
went to breakfast that morning and the guy that was taking care of the complimentrybreakfast was not friendly at all. no good morning, no greeting at all. he just looked up at us and back to his phone. we didn't bother to ask him for anything.
It had a lot of conveniences to the room. It was fairly good value compared to the price. The TV was a bit awkward to watch.
The furniture, carpet, etc. was outdated, but nothing was broken. The rooms just need a facelift to get a higher score.
Decent for one of the cheaper hotels I could find for one night. Felt like a safe place to stay.My 12 yr old enjoyed the hot tub and 'heated' (not freezing) pool, (in December). We had the King suite, it had enough space.
Their washer (bed sheet washing machine) was located near our room and made a loud squealing noise at 7am not fun waking to that. Room stunk like air freshener when first entered very strong smell, had to open windows to air out then it was tolerable.
All indoor entrances to the rooms. Very easy access from the freeway.
The maid service was a little noisy in the morning, making it hard to sleep late.
The room was clean and a fair price for the money. The staff was friendly and helpful.
The jacuzzi had too much chlorine. The hotel could use real ironing boards. I had to clear my ro table to iron and set up the small tabletop ironing board which scratched the table and was difficult to properly iron for.
All except that Wifi wasn't working
Wifi wasn't working, which is very annoying nowadays
Room had large screen TV. Beds were comfortable. Quality of breakfast was fantastic! Staff was friendly.
Did not like that breakfast ended at 9am. Would have liked it if breakfast had been available at least 30 minutes longer.

Does anybody care that the Armenian genocide thesis has already become an economic sector in which 1288 lobby foundations are working in the United States alone. The Armenians spend 3-6 billion dollars annually for their activities (www.haberler.com/sozde-ermeni-soykirimi-iddialariyla-ilgili-bin-288-haberi/). This amount of money is more than enough to save Armenia from poverty.
If the Armenians were sure of their thesis, why have they spent that much money and hired 1288 lobby foundations only in the US, instead of simply going to court? What is the reason of their insistent refusal of Turkey's suggestions to discuss these events together with historians from both sides and historians from other countries?
It is not surprising that they spend much to give financial support to politicians. However, I am not sure that the Armenians spend all this money only to support the politicians. Here are the reasons of my suspicions:
The archives of Dashnak Party is present in Zorian Armenian Institute in Boston. Both Turkish government and Turkish History Foundation offered the Armenians to open these archives; but the directors of the Institute replied that they did not have enough money to open the archives. Turkish government and Turkish History Foundation promised financial support. Zorian Institute rejected this offer too (http://www.ntvmsnbc.com/news/418517.asp).
However, is it not interesting that Zorian Institute who claims not to be wealthy enough, has financed Taner Akçam who advocated the Armenian claims in Minnesota University for a long time, as confirmed by the authorities of the university?
Thus, is it not obvious that the real purpose of the Armenians is not justice and the truth!
Instead they want the public to accept the history which was ordered and rewritten by themselves as they wished to have been.
So, they claim that the historians who do not support the Armenian thesis, could be paid agents of the Turkish Government.
This accusation forces us to ask the question of why the historians who support the Armenian thesis are exempt from this logic. Why overlook that they could be bought by the Armenians? Is it not a possibility, since Armenians have been investing that much money on this sector?
Is it not striking that Turkey is considered insufficient to neutralise the activities of Armenian Organisations by launching counter activity reflecting its views, by foreigners
If all the historians who do not support the Armenian thesis were people hired by the Turkish government, and if the Turkish government pays historians if and only if they support the Turkish thesis, then how has Fatma Muge Gocek, a Turkish origined scholar who supports the Armenian thesis been able to be a board member of the Institute of Turkish Studies financed by Turkish government in Georgetown University, Columbia (http://www.turkishstudies.org/about.html)? How could she give conferences supporting the Armenian views up till now? She is the second Turkish origined academician the Armenians approve after Taner Akçam http://www.armeniangenocide.com/showthread.php?t=2471 http://www.eraren.org/index.php?Lisan=tr&Page=Makaleler&MakaleNo=3008
Can you imagine Taner Akçam, who advocated the Armenian claims in Minnesota University up till now and was financed by Zorian Armenian Institute as confirmed by the university authorities, give conferences against the Armenian thesis?
In conclusion, the question what the Armenians do with 1288 lobby foundations for which they pay 3-6 billion dollars annually, except offering financial support to the politicians still remains to be answered.
Instead of a largely useless debate over definitions of genocidal acts the focus should be on EVIDENCE of mass exterminations, murders, executions, etc. whenever they have taken place.
Even though the evidence of the communist genocidal acts in the 1930s in Ukraine had been collected and published for decades,there are still those who insist on finding political 'justifications' for the deliberate murder of millions. In the source quoted below numerous photos dating to 1930s provide striking evidence of human suffering. Even though most readers may not understand the text, pictures speak lauder than words.
'Mr Schabas sees two trends in the definition of genocide. First, judges and legal scholars have been cautious: the ICC judges, he points out, took a lot of persuading to issue an arrest warrant for genocide against Sudan's president, Omar al-Bashir. Even the fact that they finally issued it does not mean they are persuaded that the G-word can stick. Meanwhile, social scientists and historians have widened the use of the word, to include, say, the destruction of cultures and languages, or the decimation of tribes.'
Mr Schabas has things back to front. It is the judges at the International Criminal Court and International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia who, after carefully considering the case and the evidence, concluded that what happened at Srebrenica was consistent with the international legal definition of genocide. Whereas it is scholars such as Mr Schabas and Katherine Southwick who would like to define genocide more narrowly than the international legal definition used by the judges.
The saddest part is the fact that The Economist would cite prominent denialist, Prof. William Schabas, as an authoritative source on genocide.
In his book, "Genocide in International Law: The Crimes of Crimes" (Cambridge University Press, 2d ed., 2009), Prof. Schabas supports the view that the killings of Slav citizens under the Nazi occupation (e.g. in the Jasenovac concentration camp) was not genocide. I lost more than 20 relatives in Jasenovac.
Strictly speaking, Srebrenica massacre was genocide -- regardless of Prof. Schabas' misguided personal views.
Judge Theodor Meron (Holocaust survivor) presided over the Krstić appeal when the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia unanimously agreed:
"Among the grievous crimes this Tribunal has the duty to punish, the crime of genocide is singled out for special condemnation and opprobrium… The gravity of genocide is reflected in the stringent requirements which must be satisfied before this conviction is imposed. These requirements – the demanding proof of specific intent and the showing that the group was targeted for destruction in its entirety or in substantial part – guard against a danger that convictions for this crime will be imposed lightly. Where these requirements are satisfied, however, the law must not shy away from referring to the crime committed by its proper name. By seeking to eliminate a part of the Bosnian Muslims, the Bosnian Serb forces committed genocide. They targeted for extinction the forty thousand [40,000] Bosnian Muslims living in Srebrenica, a group which was emblematic of the Bosnian Muslims in general. They stripped all the male Muslim prisoners, military and civilian, elderly and young, of their personal belongings and identification, and deliberately and methodically killed them solely on the basis of their identity. The Bosnian Serb forces were aware, when they embarked on this genocidal venture, that the harm they caused would continue to plague the Bosnian Muslims. The Appeals Chamber states unequivocally that the law condemns, in appropriate terms, the deep and lasting injury inflicted, and calls the massacre at Srebrenica by its proper name: genocide. Those responsible will bear this stigma, and it will serve as a warning to those who may in future contemplate the commission of such a heinous act."
- Daniel Toljaga
Why do the Armenians force Turkey to accept a genocide? The answer is hidden in a speech of the chief of Dashnak Party Hrant Markaryan who told that their efforts for the recognition of Armenian (so-called) genocide was not an isolated purpose but it was a part of the struggle for rescue of the West Armenia (Armenian Forum Vol2 No 4; Armenian Weekly On-line, 18 June, 4 July 2003).
The Armenian then prime minister Andranik Markaryan told that the internationally recognition of (so called) Armenian genocide and demanding land from Ankara as 'compensation' was possible only after Armenia had strengthened and the Armenians should not have told that they demanded land from Ankara loudly and everywhere (Arminfo 26 May 2004).
On one occasion President Kocharian stated that since today's Armenia does not have the clout to advance such demands, doing so should be left to future generations at a time when conditions would hopefully be better suited to this end'.
A poll taken in Armenia revealed that almost all youngsters in the Republic of Armenia wished to follow up with land claims from Turkey and 90% of them said Turkey must unequivocally accept genocide allegations (Milliyet - April 11, 2006).
The world should not forget that Germany's claim on Zudetland and Gdansk just because they were its historical lands caused burst of World War II!
Yet, there are obvious evidences showing that the Armenians did not constitute the majority of the population in neither of the Ottoman provinces which the Armenians call Western Armenia and the Muslim population was 3 to 8 times more than that of the Armenian's (Ottoman Population Statistics 1890 and 1914).
If an item like the aforementioned Armenian item were present in the lawbook of Mexico claiming that Texas, Arizonna, New Mexico and California which were historical lands of Mexico, belonged to Mexico but invaded, would the American tolerate it?
Therefore the world should not overlook Armenia's aggressivity, which is hidden behind their role of victim and should think about the price of their support to the Armenians very well.
So, the most important question which should be asked now is whether the world politicians, journalists and supporters of human rights will go on falling within the scope of Armenian propagandists and go on being major advocates of Armenian aggressivity, while pursuing humanist missions or not!
Let us evaluate why the Armenians urge politicians and school boards to use the word genocide', while vehemently rejecting to present their thesis in scholar and judicial platforms from a different perspective:
Armenia's attitude towards Turkey's land integrity: Article 13 (second paragraph) of Armenian constitution declares the 'Ağrı Mountain' in the Eastern Anatolia of Turkey, as the state symbol of Armenia . Article 11 of the Armenian Declaration of Independence of August 23, 1990; refers to Eastern Anatolia of Turkey as Western Armenia and as such beholds that this area is part of Armenia. Since the Armenian constitution recognizes as a basis "the fundamental principles of the Armenian statehood and national aspirations engraved in the Declaration of Independence of Armenia", it likewise accepts the characterization of Eastern Anatolia as Western Armenia and this, albeit indirectly, translates into the advancement of territorial claims.
The Armenian politicians and school books call Eastern Anatolia of Turkey, 'invaded mother land of Armenia' and in Armenia the school children are being grown up being conditioned to be patriots to rescue their invaded land. Even the marches they sing are about this condition.
The Armenians claim and write in such blogs that the Eastern Anatolia cities do not belong to Turkey, as if the present Eastern boundaries of Turkey was not determined by treaties of Gumru (1920), Moscow (1921) and the whole boundaries by Lausanne (1923) Treaties; after the Turkish Freedom War.
Armen Aivazyan, Director of Ararat Center of Strategic Studies, told a news conference that Armenia must never renounce its territorial claims to Turkey http://www.panarmenian.net/news/eng/?nid=28877
Additionally Armenia refused Turkey's recurrent offers to commit an agreement declaring that each country recognizes the other country's land integrity, in 1992 and later.
'It is necessary to stress that we wish to open a road between Armenia and Turkey, not the border, since who said that the existing line is the true boundary between the two countries?", Galust Saakyan, the head of the parliamentary fraction of the Republican Party of Armenia told a press conference on 24 July 2009 (Panarmenian).
'Western Armenian lands must be returned to Armenia, said Armenia's Ambassador to Switzerland, famous singer Charles Aznavour in an interview with Italian RIA3 television channel. 'When I was born, in 1924, [they] promised Armenia the return of lands. I am 85 years old and I cannot wait much longer, said Aznavour'. In 1924, Stalin promised Armenia the return of Erzeroum, Erzngan, Sebastia, Kharpert, Dikranagert, Bitlis, Van, Moush⦠The Wilsonian Armenia also included regions of Trabizon, Erzeroum, Van and Bitlis (November 3, 2009;Asbarez Staff)
In reply to the question 'What does Western Armenia mean to Dashnaktsutyun - a geographical area or a historical homeland? , ARMEN ROUSTAMYAN, representative of the ARFD Supreme Body in Armenia and Head of the NA Committee on Foreign Relations replied: "For us, Armenia is Armenia in its integrity, including all its parts: northern, southern, eastern and western. The Armenia we imagine begins from the Armenian-Turkish border which was once clearly demarcated by US President Mr. Wilson. And when we say our goal is to create a free, independent and united Armenia, we mean the Armenia I just spoke about." http://armenians-1915.blogspot.com/2008/09/2581-armenia-turkey-match-new...
"As for Switzerland, not much to be said, as the place is an open-air prison anyway."
Earth to Orman.. do you read?
It is an unequivocal truth that the denial of atrocities will accompany them. Without a doubt there have been genocidal acts by many countries across the planet. By attempting to formulate a strict definition of what is genocide we would prevent it from being characterized in new forms that are undoubtedly going to arise in the future. In Darfur the cleansing is ethnic, the Crusades religious, and Cambodia political. But are these not all just mass murders being perpetrated through hate or power grabbing? I posit that we leave the definition as vague as possible to allow us, and our posterity, the ability to prosecute future murderers to the fullest.
To all the Turks denying the genocide of Armenians and the Greeks for that matter. Guys do not let facts stop you from forming a baseless opinion. Keep up the good work
Well to know more about this you must ask the French politicians and certain business people, because they manage to sell all the necessary weapons to Rwanda and Uganda in the 90's, They even sold them hammers and machetes!! Besides guns of coures!
Indeed there is a very liberal use of the word and in part it is being done deliberately by European countries,especially by Germany, to water down the significance of the Jewish Genocide.
The most obvious misuse of the word is the so called "Armenian" one. It has been fuelled by false claims (like famous "Talat Pasha telegram" which was proved to be a fraud).When the Ottoman Army was at war with Russia, the Armenians (who were not conscripted) started attacking Ottoman Army from the back. Therefore the decision has been taken to relocate them to Syria. If this was a "genocide", then how come the Armenians away from the frontline not relocated? Like the ones in İstanbul and West? Of course people died during the relocation but it was due to hunger, winter and irregulars which killed also Turks. As a matter of fact, my grandmother's 3 sisters have been killed by Armenian bandits when ,at one point, they were also on the run escaping from Russian invasion to Syria.
Actually even this article has this fallacy that "It does not help that asserting an Armenian genocide is a criminal offence in Turkey", which is far from truth. Yes some people have been taken to the court but all aquitted. How does the author explain the many books published in Turkish by Armenian authors with their viewpoint and how is it then that last two years Armenians and their supporters celebrate "genocide" with protests in İstanbul and Ankara? Can you imagine this happening in Armenia? Even in the Netherlands, MP candidates who did not accept the "genocide" have been ex-communicated from their candidacies. So much for Dutch tolerance for free speech which they seem to reserve nowadays only for racist politicians attacking Islam.
As for Switzerland, not much to be said, as the place is an open-air prison anyway. But for other European countries, where they litterally "wrote history" by deciding on "genocide" by voting in the parliaments is just black commedy.Those MPs must be some quite historians all right! Shame.
In my view "genocide" is just a particular type of a "crime against humanity". The fact that these words mean different things in terms of taking action is purely political. I for one would want the world to take action against the perpetrators of either.
Some should also point out that genocide and the action taken against the culprit is very dependent upon who wins the battle.
Over the last century, many genocides did happen and they continue to be discussed , but one that never gets discussed is the one in Bangladesh.
3 million dead , all deliberately killed by the Pakistani army.
Those souls have been crying out for justice for the last 40 years.
And out there, there is a deafening silence. perhaps that may be because the countries with the driving force for Justice had decided that this was an overpopulated country anyway.
But the silence remains.
Perhaps there never was any Genocide - or so the Pakistani's claim.
Maybe these killings never fitted the definition.
But the silence remains.
@ J Kemp
Sorry, and with respect, but you're demonstrating the kind of political-driven thinking that tries to turn anything you dislike into a major crime. People abuse the language regularly in pursuit of whatever.
Without intent there can never be a crime.
Try arguing your politics fairly instead of criminalizing everything.
I like how instead of a conversation about the nature of genocide, what it is and what it isn't, we instead get a bunch of people denying the Armenian Genocide, despite the mountain of evidence to the contrary.
It's hard to have justice on yourself. However, in the meantime, I see the climax tone of human rights orgasm around our planet.
The problem with the G-word is that it is UNDERUTILIZED, not over-utilized.
The right way to think is in terms of a genocidal consequence, not an easily disclaimed or veiled-in-noble-motives genocidal intent.
Stop and think people.
If the consequence is observable, then it happened.
Any politician worth the compost he is made out of is fully capable of masking his intent and all manner of undertakings. And within any political system and government there will be some with a "genocidal intent" who are cruelly delighted to reduce a given group's subsequent representation in the world's gene pool, and there will be those who are simply following orders and have no other intent than obedience.
Self defense of one's own right to not become less represented in the downstream gene pool would be the only justification one could offer to having this impact on another, and that would seem to suggest conditions of war must be extant. But even then, there are rules of war which must be adhered to in order to not be guilty of genocide.
Again, what should be called out in the world today is the genocides being carried out in the "civilized" world, including America in particular, which are the byproducts of other campaigns which are dressed to the nines in noble motives.
People should not be fooled into thinking that there needs to be a single, individual "evil emperor" type of political leader scheming to kill of his hated groups for there to be genocide. That is not the way genocide is being conducted in America today. But it is being conducted successfully, just like it is being spun successfully as something totally different, something from which genocide is in fact an "unintended" by-product.
"Which law do you claim lays down this regulation [against asserting Armenian genocide], Economist? Cite your facts with references please!"
Maybe there is no specific law against claiming Armenian genocide, but people who made such statements have been prosecuted or threatened with prosecution for "insulting Turkish nation", have they not?
True, it's not the same thing, but not groundless, either.
Targeting any group, be it ethnic, racial, national, or defined in ANY other way, and taking any of these measures: killing, limiting births, transferring children away from that group, inflicting serious bodily or mental harm, or inflicting physical conditions of life which would bring about physical destruction, in whole or in part, is obviously genocide against that group.
If a person thus effected feels their rights to reproduce being impacted, their security in being able to keep their own children under attack, or their physical, mental or economic wellbeing being injured, then that is genocide plain and simple, BECAUSE, it will reduce their ability to have offspring and/or have contact with them.
What is disturbing, is that governments and politicians are being permitted to restrict or "spin" what is genocide.
Here is the test:
1. Start with the group, no matter HOW it is defined (it could be white footballers, left-handed Native Americans, or portly politicians).
2. verify the existence of any of the above forces and impacts being present and targeted at that group, whether genocidal intent is believed to exist or not (one can be sure that there will be some in any government who favor a group's being targeted, whether it is official government policy or not, doesn't matter).
3. verify the consequence of a reduced number of that group's offspring existing as self-identifying members of that group.
If 1, 2 and 3 are met, then it is genocide.
And by that proper definition -- reducing a group's subsequent presence in the world's gene pool -- there is an enormous amount of genocide going on in the world today.
And perhaps most noteworthy of all, by the true and proper definition of genocide -- the reduction of subsequent worldwide gene pool representation of a group -- there are multiple genocides occurring within the borders of America.
Sound shocking?
One must simply ignore the various noble motives which are used to justify the actions of various elements of government in America against various groups.
It is not so obvious how this is occurring in America until one thinks with a very clear head, about the various group-directed campaigns of various elements of America's government, and how these
do in fact, meet the genocide definition. Attempting to disclaim those actual genocides on the basis that the campaigns in question are not being conducted with "genocidal intent" by the immediately identifiable actors profiting from same, is absurd, and does not negate the reality of genocide.
The Economists point is well taken, but unresolvable.
For starters, "the deliberate and systematic destruction, in whole or in part, of an ethnical, racial, religious or national group.' is practically the human condition, back to when Cro-magnon warriors were clubbing in the skulls of their Neanderthal cousins. So broad as to encompass whether one speaks English or Spanish or Parthan in your next conversation? Items like this give international law a poor reputation.
What is an ethnic entity other than culture, anyway? Is the effort to convert a Muslim to a Mormon a religious attack? Sure is, in much of the world. If it must involve a death, doesn't putting a Muslim dad on death row for the honor killing of his daughter? Sure does.

Lockport council delays decision on police dog
By Frank Vaisvilas Correspondent April 2, 2014 10:06PM
Updated: May 5, 2014 8:43AM
The Lockport City Council on Wednesday night tabled the police chief's request for a K-9 unit to allow for further research and discussion of the issue.
"This was just given to us as a done deal," Ald. Denise Marynowski (4th) said. "... I think we need to know why does a city the size of Lockport really need a K-9 unit."
Police Chief Terrance Lemming, who took the post in December, said the city has obtained a $12,500 grant to establish a K-9 unit, which would be used for crowd control and drug searches. He suggested trading a Lockport police vehicle for one equipped for a police dog from the Lemont Police Department, which recently discontinued its K-9 unit.
Marynowski said Wednesday that she was concerned with the costs of maintaining and insuring a K-9 unit.
Ald. Kelly Turner (2nd) seconded Marynowski's motion to table the proposal, saying he was recently mauled by a German Shepherd, the most common breed for police work, and discovered that the average award from a lawsuit for a dog attack is about $30,000.
Mayor Steven Streit supported having a K-9 unit but asked Lemming to provide aldermen with more information. The proposal is scheduled to be discussed at an April 16 council committee meeting.
Lemming's hiring as chief was controversial when half the aldermen, including Marynowski, strongly opposed it, favoring Dave Draksler, a 26-year department veteran, for the position.
Alderman recently approved Lemming's changes to the department's command structure to include more high-ranking officers for accountability and management, including appointing Draksler as deputy chief.
Also Wednesday, the council passed an ordinance setting a $25 fine for residents who leave unbundled branches or garbage cans in the street after being given a three-day notice to remove them.
Streit said he also would like to make the city's wood-chipping service available to residents twice a year, an idea that will be discussed at the April 16 meeting.

CHARLESTON — West Virginia Del. Mike Manypenny (D-Taylor) introduced a bill Thursday that would allow state residents with debilitating medical conditions, such as cancer, multiple sclerosis, and HIV/AIDS, to access and use medical marijuana if their doctors recommend it.
The bill, House Bill 4264, would establish a state-regulated system of medical marijuana cultivation facilities and dispensaries to provide medical marijuana to licensed patients.
The full text of the bill, which has been referred to the Committee on Health and Human Resources, can be viewed here.
"There is no longer any doubt that medical marijuana is an effective treatment for a number of debilitating medical conditions and symptoms," said Matt Simon, a legislative analyst for the Marijuana Policy Project, who is a West Virginia native and graduate of West Virginia University. "No one deserves to be treated like a criminal for using marijuana to treat a serious medical condition.
"Lawmakers concerned by medical marijuana should ask themselves what they would do if a loved one was suffering from a serious illness and a physician suggested that marijuana could help."
A survey conducted in December 2013 by Public Policy Polling found 56% of West Virginia voters support changing state law to allow people with serious illnesses to use medical marijuana if their doctors recommend it. Just 34% said they were opposed. The same survey question asked by PPP in January 2013 found 53% supportive and 40% opposed.
"A growing majority of West Virginians support this compassionate legislation, and we hope a majority of their elected representatives will join them in doing so," Simon said. "It's time to stop criminalizing patients for using a treatment option that can dramatically improve their quality of life."
Twenty states and the District of Columbia have adopted laws that allow people with certain debilitating medical conditions to use medical marijuana with a recommendation from their doctors.

it is a cross between the yuka/aloe plant and has a throne at the tip. Some have them in pots and it gets huge. Can someone tell me the name of this plant?

Did you mean to say a "thorn" at the tip? Could you be talking about the century plant, Agave parryi? See if this looks like it. http://www.naturesongs.com/vvplants/centuryplant1.jpg |
There is one in bloom right now at a home on Folly Rd. If you have never seen one,(it is a rare event), then it is worth the trip. It is right across the street from the Wendys on Folly. The stem is as tall as a telephone pole and it is just beginning to turn yellow. Very cool... |
Here is a link that might be useful: Century Plant?
Yes thank you both so much, this was the plant I was looking for. |

Hi, I just started baking the mini cupcakes -- love them! I am having issues with the papers coming off after they thaw. I am careful to take them out of the tins to cool, cool them completely, freeze them after putting them carefully in freezer bags and I take them out of the bags to defrost. Even treating them with kid gloves doesn't seem to help. Have you found a solution to this problem? It is super frustrating and I have a ton of cupcakes to make this week!
Thanks much!

I have just purchased a red ruby grapefruit tree from a nursery it is in a 5 gal container, about 5 ft. tall with lots of buds. how jong can i keep this growing it in the 5 gal container. and can this tree survive in a container? Thank you |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi Ralph! You can keep a citrus tree in a container for a very long time. However, it will need regular root work to prevent the tree from becoming root bound. How long you can keep it in its current container without root work depends on how long it has been in that container. Also, for long term container plants it is best to use a fast draining medium that is slow to break down. Many on the citrus use some sort of variant of Tapla's soil recipes. (He's a user here that has a wealth of knowledge on keeping plants in containers). Hopefully this sheds some light on your questions. If you need clarification, just ask! Kristopher |
