UK accused of deporting Tamils despite threat of rape and torture
Report by Human Rights Watch says Sri Lanka's security forces have systematically been using sexual violence against suspected LTTE members

Tuesday 26 February 2013
The British government is continuing to deport failed asylum seekers back to Sri Lanka despite mounting evidence they face the risk of being raped and tortured on their return. More Tamils are scheduled to be deported this week.
A report published today by Human Rights Watch (HRW) says Sri Lanka's security forces have been systematically using rape and other forms of sexual violence to torture men and women suspected of being members of the Tamil militant group, the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), or else having links to the once powerful organisation.
HRW said although rape in custody was commonplace during the decades-long insurgency that left up to 70,000 people dead, it continues to this day to be used as both a punishment and as a means to obtain 'confessions'.
The report, which took six years to complete, includes the details of 75 cases of rape and sexual assault that took place between 2006-2012. It says that at least two of the cases involved individuals who had been deported back to Sri Lanka after failing to secure asylum in Britain. Other organisations say the number of such cases may be considerably higher.
"This report is a challenge to existing UK government policy. The UK continues to deport Tamils to Sri Lanka - a further charter flight is scheduled for this week - despite evidence that some Tamils with alleged links to the Tamil Tigers have been tortured by the Sri Lankan authorities, following their removal from the UK," said David Mepham, the UK director of HRW.
He added: "The UK should urgently revise its guidelines for assessing Tamil asylum claims, and not press ahead with removing at-risk Tamils."
Among the case studies included in the HRW report is that of "YN", a 46-year-old man who was twice deported back to Sri Lanka, most recently in January 2010. He said he was immediately picked up by police at Colombo airport and taken to the fourth floor of the CID headquarters before being transferred to the northern town of Vavuniya.
He said he was repeatedly beaten, doused with kerosene and had a gun pointed at his head. "I was stripped naked in both detention sites. I was sexually abused by being forced to have oral sex on two or three occasions when I was detained in Vavuniya," he told HRW investigators.
Another individual, "JS", a 51-year-old woman, was deported to Sri Lanka in May 2009, as the Sri Lankan military operation to crush the remaining militants was concluding. She was accused of raising funds for the LTTE in Britain, an allegation she denied. "I was kept in this army detention for nearly five months during which I was frequently raped," she said.
The decision to launch an operation to finally defeat the LTTE, which had been fighting a brutal and bloody battle for a Tamil homeland, was taken by President Mahinda Rajapaksa. The army's victory in May 2009 was widely celebrated by the nation's Sinhala majority as well as some Tamils. Mr Rajapaksa was convincingly reelected in January 2010, defeating his former military commander, Sarath Fonseka, who was later jailed.
Yet, even before the armed forces' defeat of the LTTE was complete, there were repeated allegations that civilians were being indiscriminately killed. A panel established by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon suggested that up to 40,000 civilian were killed and said there were credible allegations that both sides had committed war crimes.
Precisely how many individuals have suffered rape, sexual abuse and torture in custody remains unclear. Another NGO, Freedom from Torture, recently obtained information from the UK Foreign Office about 15 individuals who were given asylum after being first deported. All said they had been tortured
In a report published last year, Freedom from Torture documented the cases of 24 Tamils accused of having links to the LTTE who said they were tortured after voluntarily returning to Sri Lanka after the end of the war. Of these, 12 people said they had suffered sexual abuse and assault, including rape.
"Freedom from Torture remains extremely concerned about forcible returns of Tamils to Sri Lanka from the UK in light of our findings that many face a real risk of torture on return and the refusal of the UK Border Agency to update its removals policy," said the group's Mark Fenwick.
In a statement, the UK Border Agency said that while Britain had a "proud record of offering sanctuary" to those in need, individuals not at risk should return to their own countries.
"Each claim for asylum is considered on its individual merits - and where we find individuals are in need of our protection, for example if they are at real risk of being tortured or ill treatment on return, we will give it," said the statement. "We constantly review the situation in Sri Lanka and the current position, supported by the European Court of Human Rights, is that not every Tamil asylum seeker requires our protection."
A Sri Lankan military spokesman dimissed the allegations. Brig Ruwan Wanigasooriya said: "The report by the HRW is not more than a piece of speculative creativity and the allegations contained therein are far from truth... If such complaints are received, the police have a well established procedure for investigating and bringing those responsible to justice."
He added: "There have been a few instances in the past where soldiers were charged with violations of human rights including rape and each and every one of those cases have been investigated and those guilty have been punished through due legal procedure."
Sri Lanka has always denied allegations that it targeted civilians during the war and says it has spent millions of dollars in developing infrastructure, schools and hospitals in those parts of the country previously in the control of the LTTE.
It has always resisted calls for an independent inquiry into what transpired and instead established its own Lessons Learned and Reconciliation Commission, which effectively cleared both the government and the military of any wrong-doing. A meeting of the UN Human Rights Council next month is expected to pass a resolution calling on Sri Lanka to do more to work towards reconciliation. India is expected to support the motion.
HRW said most of the Tamils it interviewed for its report spoke with its investigators outside of Sri Lanka. It said researchers corroborated their stories with medial and legal records. It said because its team could not openly conduct research in Sri Lanka, the cases it had highlighted "likely represent only a tiny fraction of custodial rape in political cases".
Brad Adams, Asia director at HRW, said: "The Sri Lankan security forces have committed untold numbers of rapes of Tamil men and women in custody. These are not just wartime atrocities but continue to the present, putting every Tamil man and woman arrested for suspected LTTE involvement at serious risk."

A potentially huge problem is that your trailer is not providing any shock absorption as does the suspension of a car. With that combination of wheel, spring, and axle, you need 500+ lbs on it just to smooth out the ride. I tried this (including taking the extra spring leaves out) and it still beat the hell out of the boats.
Speaking from experience, I would not haul a composite boat on a trailer like this, unless it was one that I didn't care for very much.

Miley Cyrus may have overexcitedly shared the news of her being the number 1 on Maxim's Hot 100 list. However, Maxim is taking things particularly slow in revealing the other 99. The latest women to be included in the list include country crooner, Taylor Swift and her fellow cat lover, Katy Perry. Who else made it to the top?
Everyone already knows by now that Miley Cyrus has been named number one on Maxim's Hot 100 given she blew up the news over Twitter before the official announcement. While fans of Miley are celebrating her win, a few others are clearly waiting on the release of the list in hopes of finding out if their favourites made it to the top.
Unlike Miley who took things way too fast, Maxim is taking things slowly and surely. In this week's reveal, Maxim revealed that pop stars, Taylor Swift, Beyonce and Katy Perry made it to the cut. Katy Perry ranks number 11 as compared to her number 1 spot back in 2010.
Taylor Swift ranked her lucky number 13 while Beyonce followed suit at number 14. Selena Gomez's former BFF, Demi Lovato made it into the number 26 spot. "Glee" star, Lea Michele ranked at number 39 while co-star, Naya Rivera plopped comfortably at number 45. Wild child, Ke$ha ranked in at number 78.
To date, these are the only celebrities announced to be on the list. Fans of Maxim have to wait a few days more for the big reveal. Check out the slideshow to see these ladies rock their sexy selves.

So after reading a bunch of people saying that a protein rest isn't need for flaked wheat, I brewed a Wit that is 50% flaked wheat without one. I took a refractometer reading pre-boil and noticed my gravity was way low. I added 1lb of wheat DME to get my gravity up.
After doing some more reading, I see that a protein rest is required if my flaked wheat is >25% of the grain bill. So, what should I expect with my brew? Recipe is below.
4.5lbs Flaked wheat
4.5lbs Pale 2-row
1lb Wheat DME
1oz EKG 60min
0.75oz bitter orange 5min
0.75oz coriander 5min
Single infusion, step temp = 156.
What should you expect? Poison. Deadly, deadly poison.
The protein rest can help with haze and is necessary to keep efficiency high in some beers. Haze isn't a problem in a wit, and it doesn't sound like you had any efficiency problems. In other words, no worries.
"Be excellent to each other." -Benjamin Franklin
This is just my opinion but i think that wheat dme may have saved it. In my experience flaked wheat does not add much in the way of flavor its more for head retention and body. You would have been better using 4.5# of a malted wheat and mabe .5 to 1# of flaked wheat.
Can someone explain to me how a protein rest would increase efficiency? (Honest question). Has it to do with beta-amylase works better at protein rest temps and helps to break down the more complex carbs that alpha-amylase could not ordinarily chop up when they are active?
I also wonder about low efficiency with that high of a mash temp. It seems the enzymes would denature faster and maybe before conversion is complete...but I've done plenty of mashes around 155 or so that have gone okay...
Just curious what your OG was? At 60% efficiency I'm guessing somewhere near 1.044? You'll still have a tasty brew!
I have never done a protein rest and still get great efficiencies. The only reason I ever would consider doing a protein rest would be to clear my beer, and since you are making a wit, there's no reason for that.

Ricky Gervais, who pissed off some of the biggest names in showbiz at the most recent Golden Globes ceremony, claims he's been asked to host the event again.
Gervais hosted the Globes in January and took shots at everything from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association to Sex and the City 2 and everyone from Charlie Sheen to "famous Scientologists." Both sides agreed after the show that it was a onetime deal.
But on Friday, Gervais reportedly claimed that he had been invited back for an encore by NBC, saying at the MediaGuardian Edinburgh International TV Festival: "NBC have offered it—they think they can persuade the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. But I don't think they will go for it." He then added: "I shouldn't do it. It's a second encore. Don't do a second encore. I don't think I should do it. What am I going back as?"
Your move, NBC...

Day 19 - The Skinny Rules
View VALKYRIA-'s Sparkpage
View All Blog Entries from VALKYRIA-
Wednesday, February 27, 2013
I just read Bob Harper's book, "The Skinny Rules," and I found it intriguing. Most of what he said I already know & agree with (whether or not I practice it perfectly)... some of his rules reminded me of some old healthy habits which I want to rekindle, and some were new but made perfect sense... so I'd like to incorporate them into my plan. Best of all, he has some simple, healthy recipes in the book which I can't wait to try (hello, sweet potato hash and spicy veggie stir fry).
The rules which I find most challenging are:
-no (or little) carbs after lunch
-no white potatoes except on splurge meals
-no store-bought juice (just eat fruit)
-low sodium intake
I would like to work on these...so this is my plan:
-I made a list of low-carb dinners I can make easily (the lazy dinner being a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store paired with frozen steamed veggies... for my "off" days)
-I bought a bunch of yams, turnips, and parsnips to eat in lieu of potatoes
-Instead of buying orange juice, I bought a bag of cuties (tiny little mandarin oranges which are fantastic and just the right portion for someone who never really enjoyed oranges before)
-I will make a conscious effort to wean myself off of salt, though this will be the hardest part. I definitely think I can do it, and doing my food prep on the weekend will help me avoid salty convenience foods throughout the week.
I have some great ideas for next Sunday's FOOD PREP...
1. Go to Whole Foods
Buy: Apples, Strawberries/other berries, pineapple, banana and other fruit, lemons/limes, herbs, cuties, green leafy vegetables, stir fry vegetables, snacking veggies, side dish veggies, squash, nuts, 2 dozen eggs, plain greek yogurt, hard cheese, tempeh, yams nips and snips, kombucha
2. Chop up berries, put lemon juice on them (for yogurts and oatmeal)
3. Chop up pineapple / mango / whatever (fruit that's not berries for fruit salad/smoothies)
4. Chop up root vegetables, ziplock them (for roasting)
5. Make Hummus, cut up pepper strips, celery, carrot sticks, broccoli, snow peas
6. Boil a dozen eggs (snacking / breakfasts)
7. Roast chicken breasts and cube them for salads
8. Make turkey meatballs or salmon dip w/ greek yogurt instead of sour cream
9. Make steel cut oats or quinoa breakfast bars
10. Soak and cook lentils or beans for the week
in other news, I am still sick. I am still pushing through it, but this is one stubborn cold. I am on my way to the gym now, despite the sickness, because my fever is gone. So I am still pushing through.. I might just have to take this workout a little easier than normal. However, my results are really showing up on the scale, and I only have 1.3 more lb to lose before saturday, so I really can't afford to be lazy. I have a goal, and nothing will keep me from it!
Here's a link to Bob Harper's book (you can read all 20 of the rules in the first review if you scroll down):

I read this awhile back but it was during one of my 'off' times and reading it didn't get me kick started. Now that I am motivated and trying I will revisit - I remember Bob had some awesome tips and recipes. Thanks for the reminder on this - and hope that following it goes well for you!

A great plan. I read the recipe for the salmon dip you posted and plan to try it soon. I am hooked on hummus right now, so maybe it would be a good break. I like Bob the best on the Biggest loser too. Thanks for the info on the book. I will check the library for it.

You know, it's only been this season in which I really got into The Biggest Loser, and I'm hooked. Bob is definitely my favorite, but I do have a little soft spot for Jillian. I've been taking a lot away from the show, and it's even become a motivator for me. Feeling lazy? Watch an episode and exercise during. About to bite into that chili fry? Imagine Jillian's rage!
I think I need to check into the books...
It sounds like you have a solid plan, and I know you'll rock it!

I think Bob is a rockstar. I love everything about him. I think some of the rules would take serious dedication and I wish you luck!! Can't wait to hear how it goes for you.

I found success in the "no carbs after lunch" too but sometimes it's SO hard to stick to! when I do I shed lbs like crazy so you'd think that would be enough motivation to keep it up...it's a work in progress. I like the whole meal prep ideas and have been wanting to get on board with that but its difficult to find the time to cook that much. You can do it as far as losing that little bit before Saturday!!

I am SO with you on the no carbs after lunch and the no white pototoes! I am sure if I get my mind right I can do it though! I don't eat white pototoes as much as I used to but still need to cut back.
Cuties are AWEsome! Love 'em!
I have been able to avoid this cold/flu season so far but have had a lingering headache for a week now, not sure what it is?! I hope you feel better!

I always try to avoid carbs after 1:00 pm. I try to only eat low-glycemic veggies at dinner, never any grains. I keep my sodium intake to 900-1,300 mg per day. If I go above that, I retain a lot of water.
Turnips are a great alternative to potatoes. I love them roasted with vanilla, cinnamon, and allspice.

Thank you for sharing the rules and where you got them. Congrats on nearing your goals. This is a nice reward for sticking to your plan and really working at it.

2012 Toyota Tundra Tundra 4dr Double Cab 4WD LB (5.7L 8cyl 6A)
Prior to purchasing 2012 Tundra 5.7L LB, I did extensive research on Chevy, Ford, and Dodge. I felt like the U.S. mfg trucks used excessively thin sheet metal and were about $10K - $15K overpriced and in my opinion that was due to unions. I found thin sheet metal in the Tundra too, but I wasn't paying a union add-on for the Toyota. What sold me on the Tundra is the large pinion gear, quality wrapped wire bundles in the engine bay, the quality interior, and transmission cooler. I've owned the truck for 2 years 7 months now and have had no problems at all. The body style is attractive - I prefer it over the new 2015 body style. I'd repurchase a Tundra mfg prior to the new body style.

2012 Toyota Tundra Tundra 4dr CrewMax SB (5.7L 8cyl 6A)
Buyer beware of flex fuel problems. 2012
In temps of 50 degrees or less it fails to start about every 7-8 fill ups. Requires service each time to fix. No fix yet. Go to the lemon law. Its the Only way to get anything done. To avoid the problem just don't run less than a quarter tank of gas, never run less than 5 minutes, use only flex fuel( if u can find it), move to a warmer climate. Seriously! No joke!
$50k truck. 9 months of problems,no help from Toyota. Once you sign your name your stuck on a long rough, frustrating, costly, ride. Thanks Toyota for not standing behind your product. You should stop selling them until you have the problems fixed or at least tell the customer .

2012 Toyota Tundra Limited 4dr Double Cab 4WD SB (5.7L 8cyl 6A)
This is my third Toyota truck and is by far the best.
I looked (briefly) at others when it was time to trade and I easily came home to Toyota.
This truck has it all - capacity, comfort, durability and great looks.
The 5.7L V-8 offers plenty of power for even the most demanding of tasks.
Plenty of room in the front, back and the bed.
Leather interior is top-notch.
Navigation w/ JBL sound system is superior to others I have owned including Bose.
We often take the truck to our vacation home and find the ride pleasant and relaxing.
Lots of storage space to keep things organized.
If you are looking for a full-sized pickup truck, give the Tundra a close look.
You won't be disappointed.

2012 Toyota Tundra Tundra 4dr Double Cab 4WD SB (5.7L 8cyl 6A)
Truck now has 11K miles.
Had first synthetic oil change at 10K.
Averaging 15.2 mpg in combined driving.
Truck runs great and has similar MPG as tacomas I have owned in the past.
The horsepower and torque on this truck is something else.
I see negative reviews on here and I can't understand why.
The performance is what impresses me the most.
I am 6'4" and have plenty of room.
Kids can sit in the back without any problem whatsoever.
This is a real truck, not meant for anyone who wants a car..

Overall I have a nice truck and the 4.6 L engine performs quite well. It is a little more thirsty than expected. Mixed suburban and country
driving fall a little less than 14 mpg with no off road. That's short of the 14 city rated. The factory bed liner has large openings around the tie downs for lots of material to fall through to the bed. Also the Bluetooth was a real pain to load the phone book in the truck. It doesn't access the phone book in the phone.

I actually went or should I say was suckered into a new tunra. 2012 what a mistake. If you here people talking about reliability and resale I suggest you RUN and never turn back. I don't sell cars so resale should never be an issue. The toyota is like a pregnant 2002 dodge ram. It's ugly and the more you look at it the uglier it gets. The finish inside is poor crap and I couldn't believe that this what was suppose to be superior build quality. The seats were uncomfortable. the guages are small and a pukey orange colour and they are sey in too far. The tonks truck control knobs for the air are a total joke.I could go on but a person with normal vision will see what I'm talking about.

2012 Toyota Tundra Tundra 4dr CrewMax SB (4.6L 8cyl 6A)
We got our Tundra from Cowboy Toyota.
Billy Goss and James Smith provided excellent service.
We previously owned a Nissan Frontier.
There is no comparison between the towing performance of the Tundra compared to the Frontier.
We just returned from our trip to
New Mexico.
The only "problem" was that we kept forgetting we were towing the camper.
The 4.6L engine worked great.
I'm glad we didn't get the bigger engine because it was not needed.

I have had a 4X4, 17" wheel for six-months now.
One must understand Toyota's list of options doesn't mean that they're really available.
Toyota installs options based on info they received from previous year's customers.
They also put the premium options only on the most expensive model.
(Moonroof, full-size opening rear window are on Quad only.)
There was only one Tundra with the options I wanted on the West Coast and it came with options I didn't want.
Gas mileage is 14.6 to 14.7.
Doesn't matter if I'm on the flat interstate, a Sierra dirt road, or city streets.
I am 55 and keep vehicles for twenty years.
With that in mind, my biggest regret is the crappy interior materials - I get to watch what is now crappy get even worse as time goes on.
Other than that, and the freeway beatings, I love the truck and look forward to using it to its fullest towing a rolling mansion when I retire.

2012 Toyota Tundra Tundra 4dr Double Cab 4WD SB (4.6L 8cyl 6A)
in 2008 I bought Tundra 5.7 was a great truck but engine is too big, than I switch to Tacoma 4.0L in 2010
after Tacoma, In Dec 2011 I bought 4.6 liter Tundra I think this is best truck I ever bought
This is best engine Toyota ever developed If you want to buy Tundra just look at 4.6 liter engine You will be happy like me.
Thanks for reading

Overall very happy with my tundra. There is a fair amount of plastic in the interior that could be refined. Comfort is top notch. The huge center council is great for the traveling Business man. Plenty of power on tap at all times and the auto stick works great for pulling those heavy loads. Double cab passenger room is plentiful with a 6'2" 260lbs guy able to easily fit comfortably in the back seat. I do notice the frame flex more than on my previous trucks but the ride on the tundra's are much better than fully boxed frame. If Toyota would come out with a 3500 I'd trade in my current Tundra today, as I know you shouldn't but I have occasionally exceeded the max towing cap hauling equipment

Uncharted 4 delayed to spring 2016
@coolbritannia think wait until E3 to judge mate. Sony have not been caught out this time so they must have an alternative Reply +1
Sony will have a alternative game but they should get a Uncharted Collection at least.
This was always going to happen and while I get MS paying for the exclusivity for Tomb Raider this must surely leave Square Enix with a bitter taste?
The profits lost now with the void must make them regret it. Just my opinion mind you. Reply +20

@Spuzzell err no I am not getting the game at all. If you cannot see the issue with singling out a game and advising people not to ore order then fair enough.
No game has gotten an article like that in here. That's a fact. You can preview all you want but label it so dont have running commentary in why a game is bad etc
That's how accusations of bias come up. Sorry mate no offence but shit like that on select games is laughable.
You do it for all or none at all. Reply +2
The hate for this game is ridiculous. Feel sorry for the devs here as well.

Xbox One overtakes PS4 sales for November in UK and US
@Eighthours . What dropped the ball by living off multiplayform games and selling stupidly high numbers with no exclusives as you say.
So what happens when they don't drop the ball? People need a bit of perspective with everyone's numbers. They are all great Reply 0
@Adam802 the fact you even posted that shows how silly people are. Sony have built a massive lead that if done correctiy keeps there profit margin high while only losing two months out of a year with top loaded first 6 months of 2015
Sony have a lot of problems but they have placed PS4 in such a position that even if they lose every month in the US and UK it will only be by small margin that will be made up by other regions namely Mainland Europe.
MS and this bottom loaded approach only works if you sell well out of the gate or throughout year. Having to cut price so much in a year just to get people buying may look good to consumers and rightly so but profit wise it's not healthy. Reply +27
All good and all but MS are bottom loaded in 2015 as they were this year and always do.
Not sure why they don't try and spread it out over the year more? If you get beat every month except for two months in a year is winning holidays that important ? Reply +11

@TekMerc so you can kill everyone else except hookers? The point is you can kill whoever it's just people choose to kill a hooker primarily to get money back
If the games allows killing and hookers are in the game then they should be targets as well. As you said this ban means nothing.

Where's Far Cry 4 face off? Reply +7
Surely it's a learning experience with new consoles and new engines?
Lower resolution means stable frame rate and can see Witcher 3 being 900p on both to achieve this.
This is nowhere near AC levels of a botch job so it needs some perspective Reply +6

I've wanting to make this for a while, and I finally got it done, actually a while back, but I uploaded it to Youtube, but I took it down, so I uploaded it here!!! It uses the song The Day the Whole World Went Away by Nine Inch Nails. It's used in the trailer for Terminator Salvation. This is my second Video, so be gentle. Constructive criticism would be nice.

Oaktree Capital Management and Ares Management disclosed that they have separately submitted non-binding statements expressing their willingness to talk with management and other shareholders about an Oct. 29 proposal submitted by EXCO Resources' CEO to conduct a leveraged buyout.
The chief executive, Douglas Miller, wrote a letter to the board outlining his plan to purchase outstanding shares not owned by Miller, Oaktree, Ares or billionaire energy investor T. Boone Pickens for $20.50 in cash. If Miller were to acquire EXCO, Oaktree, Ares and Pickens could each decide whether to cash out or roll their current equity into the new company.

Discovery Equity Partners notified the company in a Nov. 2 letter that it intends to submit a shareholder proposal for inclusion in Tier's coming proxy statement for its 2011 annual meeting. It would ask the firm to immediately return value to shareholders via a Dutch Auction tender offer to repurchase $40 million in shares. Discovery stated that recent efforts to return cash to shareholders, including open-market purchases, have been "inadequate," and that "stockpiling cash" for future acquisitions destroys value.
The fund submitted the proposal, it stated, to enhance value and to provide for a "capital structure [that] will facilitate the market's understanding of Tier."
Discovery currently owns 2,109,667 shares (11.9%).

Zoran (ticker: ZRAN)
Business: Provides software and hardware for the digital-entertainment and digital-imaging markets
Investor's Average Cost: $6.46 per share
Stock-Market Value: $349 million ($7.03 per share)
What's Happening: Ramius LLC acquired a 6% position for investment purposes.
Key Numbers and Dates:
$15.6 million: Ramius' proceeds from the recent sale of its Microtune (TUNE) investment.
$19.3 million: the amount of capital that Ramius used to acquire its Zoran position, commencing on the day it sold its last Microtune shares.
Nov. 19: the date that Microtune shareholders will vote on that company's $2.92 per-share acquisition by Zoran.
Behind the Scenes: Ramius almost never is a passive 13D filer. It will certainly meet with management and will make recommendations on how to improve shareholder value.
Ramius was a 13D filer in Microtune and negotiated three board seats for independent directors. Microtune is now being acquired by Zoran in a transaction that Ramius strongly favors. Ramius will likely push for board representation at Zoran as well.
Ramius obviously continues to like Microtune's business and the extremely cheap price of the Zoran stock, which is trading at less than its cash holdings before giving effect to the Microtune acquisition. Ramius has been extremely successful in the past in getting managements to stop wasting capital on money-losing, non-core divisions and focusing on profitable business lines. Ramius officials will certainly consider that strategy by looking at alternatives for Zoran's unprofitable digital television business and urging management to focus on profitable divisions, such as digital cameras.

Phoenix inquiry nothing new
Similar review done decades ago
The Phoenix Sinclair inquiry, currently in legal limbo, was widely believed to be the first chance for a complete examination of Manitoba's child-welfare system.
It turns out that's not the case. Twenty-five years ago, the province commissioned an in-depth review of child-welfare services in Winnipeg. That inquiry was a reaction to the deaths of six children in care the previous year.
The fate of that all-but-forgotten report should serve as a cautionary tale to those involved in the Sinclair inquiry and to those of us who hope substantive change will follow its findings.
Dr. Eric Sigurdson, then a Dauphin pediatrician and child-abuse expert, and University of Manitoba social work Prof. Grant Reid (along with three seconded provincial employees) spent a year interviewing doctors, nurses, lawyers, social workers, child-protection workers and others involved in the child-welfare field. They wanted to know what worked, what didn't, and how to fix things.
At the end, they produced a 391-page reported studded with recommendations. That report, External Review Into Matters Relating To The System Of Dealing With Child Abuse In Winnipeg, is harrowing reading.
"As a result of unforeseen demand (for child protection)," the pair wrote in their introduction, "the present system is severely overstressed and it is able to provide only basic services."
They cited severe organizational problems within the child-welfare system: a lack of standards, not enough resources, heavy workloads, the need for a central information-processing system and improved education and training for social workers. Sound familiar?
"If adequate funds are not made available to operate the child and family services system," they wrote, "children will be needlessly abused, and more will die."
Sigurdson, now a psychiatrist and child-abuse expert at the Health Sciences Centre, admits he feels frustration many of his recommendations remain in limbo and the problems he clearly illuminated still exist.
"Workload was a big issue," he says of his 1986 research. "It was one of the most common concerns of social workers, child-abuse workers." Last month, a former CFS intake supervisor testified at the Sinclair inquiry staffing levels during the child's short life were "grossly inappropriate." He said meeting accepted provincial standards was impossible.
"We see so many young people in care," Sigurdson said in an interview Thursday. "Are we making any progress in addressing this? How are we doing as a community, as a society to reduce this?"
His report, issued just as personal computers were becoming prevalent, called for an integrated computer system that would make the sharing of children's files possible across regions.
Last week, provincial auditor general Carol Bellringer released a report indicating the provincial government is making slow progress in implementing key child-safety initiatives. She cited the lack of an effective central data bank as a continuing problem.
Bellringer's report followed up on an audit her office conducted six years ago. Twenty-nine improvements to child welfare were recommended in 2006. Only 15 have been implemented. Sigurdson says many of his 1987 recommendations were acted on but others were left to languish or delayed as the child-welfare system evolved.
Decades have passed since Sigurdson and his team completed a thorough examination of our child-welfare system. The issues he raised, for the most part, remain as critical factors for this province's vulnerable children. The government ordered this work done and took possession of the hefty report.
What remains a mystery is why so few people know about this important study, why it is not referenced in any of the Sinclair inquiry's background material and why so many of the serious problems illuminated have not been addressed.
I still hope the Phoenix Sinclair inquiry sheds some light on what is wrong with the system and how it can be fixed. But having just read a similar report prepared 25 years ago, I'm not holding my breath.

About Lindor Reynolds
National Newspaper Award winner Lindor Reynolds began work at the Free Press as a 17-year-old proofreader. It was a rough introduction to the news business.
Many years later, armed with a university education and a portfolio of published work, she was hired as a Free Press columnist. During her 20-plus years on the job she wrote for every section in the paper, with the exception of Business -- though she joked she'd get around to them some day.
Sadly, that day will never come. Lindor died in October 2014 after a 15-month battle with brain cancer.
Lindor received considerable recognition for her writing. Her awards include the Will Rogers Humanitarian Award, the National Society of Newspaper Columnists' general interest award and the North American Travel Journalists Association top prize.
Her work on Internet luring led to an amendment to the Criminal Code of Canada and her coverage of the child welfare system prompted a change to Manitoba Child and Family Services Act to make the safety of children paramount.
She earned three citations of merit for the Michener Award for Meritorious Public Service in Journalism and was awarded a Distinguished Alumni commendation from the University of Winnipeg. Lindor was also named a YMCA/YWCA Woman of Distinction.
Reynolds was 56. She is survived by a husband, mother, a daughter and son-in-law and three stepdaughters.
The Free Press has published an ebook celebrating the best of Lindor's work. It's available in the Winnipeg Free Press Store; all proceeds will be donated through our Miracle on Mountain charity to the Christmas Cheer Board.

Spring Plant Sale is Here!
It's Time to Start Thinking About Veggies – Check out our New CSA Model!
2015 CSA Options
Full Year runs from May 15th to October 2nd (with a one-week break)
Session I: May 15th to July 17th
Session II: July 31st to October 2nd
Deadline to Sign-up for Wolfscratch Bucks is February 15th
We are changing our CSA format for the 2015 growing season! Based on feedback from our 2013-2014 CSA members, we are moving over to a new system where our CSA members will buy "Wolfscratch Bucks" in $50 increments that will allow you to shop at an exclusive weekly on-farm CSA market at Wolfscratch Farm for your produce. As a CSA member, you can redeem your "Bucks" for as much or as little as you like for what you want, when you want it! This gives you greater flexibility to pick your favorites and only get what you want and need instead of the traditional CSA model where you get a prepacked share of veggies. Because of this new model, we will only be hosting a pick-up at our farm in Japser, Ga. We will not have multiple pick-up locations.
Buying Wolfscratch Bucks in advance helps us cover the anticipated costs of the yearly farm operation. In turn, Wolfscratch Farm will provide a variety of sustainably grown produce throughout the growing season, and you receive a discount on your Bucks.
After you purchase your Wolfscratch Bucks, we will keep track of how much you purchase, and we will send you an email reminder of your balance throughout the year.
You may use as much of your Wolfscratch Bucks as you wish each week, but if you plan on buying a large quantity of vegetables at one time we would appreciate 48 hours' notice so we can have it ready for you without depleting our stand for the other CSA members.
If you run out of funds, you can always buy more as long as you sign up by February 15th!
You may not redeem unused portions of your Bucks for actual cash – all Wolfscratch Bucks are nonrefundable. If you have a situation where you cannot use all of your Bucks, feel free to give them to someone who can. If you do not use your Wolfscratch Bucks by the end of the year, they will expire!
Times and Dates of Weekly CSA On-Farm Market to come.
Please go to the sign up now! page on our website follow the directions to complete your CSA membership and sign-up for your Wolfscratch Bucks.
Contact us at any time with questions or comments at firstname.lastname@example.com
The Wolfscratch Farm Nonprofit
Growing Community from Soil to Plate…
We here at Wolfscratch Farm have always understood the importance of community and the power of collaboration with our friends and supporters. Since its inception, the farm has given rise to a successful CSA, a workershare program for those who wish to pitch in at the farm instead of pay for produce, classes, workshops, camps, and fundraisers. Now we wish to take the step toward something even bigger: a 501c3 non-profit that will allow our community–kids and adults alike–to utilize free educational resources that will be funded by farm-to-table dinners and produce sales.
Our mission is to foster community interest in sustainable farming through a connection with your food from the soil to your plate. We are giving the education and tools needed to contribute to a more lasting sustainable solution to the current food system in the US. Through our programs, we teach everything from how to grow sustainable, healthy food to how to cook the food you grow while providing a place for the community to come together for communal eating and sharing of ideas.
Our plan is to offer some of the following through our newly-founded 501c3:
-Farm-to-table dinners in the gardens catered by local chefs using produce from Wolfscratch Farm
-After-school programs for kids interested in sustainable agriculture and/or the culinary arts
-Classes and workshops for adults covering topics ranging from gardening, to cooking, to food preservation
Many of you will be happy to know that we will continue to be present at local Farmers' Markets and will also offer our CSA during the growing season.
In order to continue moving toward the realization of our mission, we need the support of our community more than ever! Please consider donating to the cause by using the "donate now" button below. With your contributions, we will move all the faster toward free education for the community! The plans are still unfolding, so we will keep this page and our email subscribers updated as new developments occur.
Potluck Postponed!
In case you haven't received the emails, the Fall Potluck has been postponed until November 8th due to inclement weather. The workshop will continue as scheduled.
Visit our On-farm Markets this Fall!
We're opening up the farm this Fall to offer fresh produce to the community as the farmer's markets begin to close for the season. We'll continue growing quality produce here at Wolfscratch until at least Thanksgiving, so think about stopping by, walking the gardens, seeing how your food is produced, and grabbing some beautiful, organic veggies on your way out. The next couple of months will bring an abundance of greens like kale, collards, rainbow chard, spinach, cabbages, arugula and lettuce, loads of colorful winter squash (including pumpkins), plus root veggies like carrots, beets, and radishes. So stop by anytime during the hours listed above!
Note: Our markets will be cash or check only, please!
Join us for our Fall Potluck!
Greetings from the farm to all of our friends and supporters! We can barely believe it, but it's time again to announce our annual Fall Festival at Wolfscratch Farm. We've decided to take a Potluck approach this year to encourage the community to get involved with sharing dishes created using local fare. We love to cook here at Wolfscratch Farm and feel that it's something that can be enjoyed by anyone with a desire and fresh ingredients. Jamie will be contributing his famous chili trio (red, pork green, and vegetarian) as usual, but we're curious about what the community can conjure with their locally-sourced produce. The rules for the dishes are simple: use as many locally-grown and organic ingredients as possible. It doesn't have to be 100% of either, but we urge a trip to your favorite farmer's market or produce stand to support your local growers as we near the end of the season.
Admission is free, but we encourage a donation to our farmer's fund to help launch our new Farm-to-table dinner and after-school education programs that are planned for next year. Hear more about those plans at the event! You can also gain access to our permaculture workshop taking place the following day, November 2nd by donating a minimum of $35 to the farmer's fund. Learn more about the workshop here.
We're excited to announce that we will also be holding a raffle for the chance to win a half-share and full-share CSA membership for a 2015 half-season. Tickets are $3 for a half-share and $5 for a full. Purchase tickets when you RSVP (see below). Rules for the Raffle: 1) A minimum of 50 total ticket sales are required to hold the raffle for the two CSA shares; if this minimum is not met, two winners will go home with a full-share-size basket of produce after the potluck 2) Entrants must reside locally (in the Jasper area) or in Decatur 3) Limit two tickets per family (if a name is drawn twice, we will hold a redraw for one ticket), 4) Workershares are welcome to enter!
Look forward to lots of entertainment including live music, walks through our transformed permaculture gardens, a bonfire, s'mores, apple bobbing, a kids' costume contest, and more! Camping will also be available to those staying for the workshop the following day.
So come on down to Wolfscratch Farm to celebrate the season! You can RSVP and purchase raffle tickets by clicking here.
Welcome Fall at Wolfscratch Farm!
Greetings, Friends! We're happy to announce that we'll be holding a two-day group work party here on the farm on the weekend of September 27th and 28th. We've got our work cut out for us when it comes to Fall prep, so we thought we would invite our community of supporters and friends to lend a hand in exchange for some awesome Barbecue and an early-autumn camp-out! Anyone is welcome to join us at 1:00 PM Saturday for a few hours of diggin' in the dirt, followed by feasting and festivities, perhaps a lovely bonfire to greet the new season, and camping under the stars (if you choose to stay for Sunday). For those who wish to stick around for the second day, we'll start with a farm-fresh breakfast and then hit the fields again for a few more hours of teamwork. We work hard here at Wolfscratch Farm, but we always strive to make it fun, too! If you're interested in joining us, please RSVP by sending an email to email@example.com with "Many Hands" in the subject line. Please include a brief message stating how many days you'll be attending and companions you'll bring.
Thanks, and we look forward to seeing your smiling faces!
The Wolfscratch Team

- Erik Mohr contacted me to create a 2-page spread and 4 spot illustrations on ethical outsourcing for inBusiness Magazine, a small publication by the Globe and Mail.
Rather than focusing on the negative - in light of the Bangledesh tragedy - he wanted the illustrations to express a positive message to educate companies and businesses on how they can work successfully together with overseas factories and manufacturers. Each spot illustration depicts a different tip, from ensuring you write a code of conduct, to solicitng the help of competitors, to hiring an auditor, to the importance of being transparent as a company.
