Darin has put his farm hand experience as a youth and his advanced training as a welder to beneficial use to the County. He and his co-workers often fabricate tools to help get their jobs done. For example, mowing around fence posts can be difficult, so Darin reconfigured the mower to offset the handles resulting in a clean cut in less time. Last winter, parks staff recognized the need for a small trailer for the ATV. Rather than purchasing the apparatus, he and a co-worker reused scrap metal and broken equipment to fabricate the cart. It proved to very handy this past summer.
According to his supervisors, Darin can fix any piece of equipment. "It's really amazing how Darin can see a potential fix to an unfixable problem, and then fabricate the fix himself", said Director of Community Services Keith Mumford.
Congratulations Darin on a job well done!

As Deputy, Holly has championed a streamlined and user friendly document recording process. She was instrumental in helping make Kent County the first county in Delaware to offer e-recording. The process has reduced the amount of paper physically handled by staff and significantly improved the document error rate. During her tenure, the number of Deeds office employees has been reduced by one half and she has endeavored to maintain that number by implementing operational efficiencies, technology solutions, and cross training. Holly has helped achieve these work goals while remaining focused on providing excellent customer service.
According to Kent County Recorder of Deeds Betty Lou McKenna, "Holly has been on the forefront of technology in this office. She deserves the credit for making e-recording a reality in Kent County. She has helped transform the staff into a cohesive work unit with a personal commitment to provide excellent customer service with each and every transaction. She is greatly deserving of this honor."

*The online criticism journal hosting the original version in Spanish of this essay is currently unavailable
The central theme of Pedro Reyes' "Permanent Revolution" installation project and puppet play at the Jumex Museum in Mexico City is the heritage of the ideas that inspired communism seen from the point of view of the triumph of androcentric and anthropocentric neoliberal capitalism in the 21st Century. The project includes public workshops for creating agit prop paraphernalia teaching people how to protest: engraving (to print bills), binding (to produce pamphlets), drawing (political satire) and writing (manifestoes). As part of the project to be seen at the new Jumex Museum at the Plaza Carso complex, were also granite busts of Ernesto Che Guevara, Frida Kahlo and Vladimir Lenin. The public performance with 25 hand made puppets began with a microwave TV commercial, and the mise-en-scène takes place before an exquisite stage that represents a modernist-style public library. The puppets were conceived by Japanese artist Takumi Ota, who gave life to historical characters: Che Guevara, Joseph Stalin, Adam Smith, Karl Marx, Lenin, Leon Trotsky, Milton Friedman, Mao Tse Tung, Henri Ford, Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros, Julian Assange, Steve Jobs, etc. And to fictional characters: Mili, Moni, Miss Hipatia, Salim Rascagarra and Nico. The performance starts in the Topus Uranos, a kind of heaven for historical figures where they are divided in two camps: the "bullies" and "snobs" and the "rebellious" and "hippies"; they discuss politics presenting complex ideas through reductive slogans such as: "The proletariat must rebel", etc. Besides from being extremely boring both for adults and children, the script, as almost all Mexican cultural production addressed to children – which tends to insult their young intelligence – is splattered with language and references to popular culture (Televisa, Ricardo Arjona, Salma Hayek's Frida, the Oscars, Dora the Explorer, the Thundercats); seeking to entertain, it includes dumb jokes, strident effects and hysterical attitudes in the characters.
Most of the story takes place in a dying public library, as we learn, because it is no longer "self-sustainable." The library's director, Miss Hipatia, receives an eviction order on behalf of Salim Rascagarra, an entrepreneur-oligarch who plans to build there a corporate commercial and entertainment complex called "Freedom Towers." Mili and Moni, two friends who often visit the library to read and to see their friend Nico (who lives there, as the library offers to him a strange Welfare State collision between public library and orphanage), take up the task to rescue the building; not as a public service that supports public education and democratic access to knowledge and information, but because they do not want Nico to lose his home. With this first twist in the script, it becomes evident that Reyes' ideological "screwball" is neither comical nor confusing, but profoundly transparent in its neoliberal revisionist vocation. When Mili suggests occupying the library to save it, Moni responds: "Ew! We're not (public school system) teachers."[1] All of a sudden, a figure on a hood, which is Julian Assange in disguise, throws two books at them: Capital and The Wealth of Nations. Assange's role in the play is not to defend access to information repressed and censured by governments and corporations exercising democracy's fundamental right of transparency of information, but to vouch for access to information in general (is this not a basic right precisely ratified by public libraries?). Seeking to learn how to make money and save the library, the kids put the books inside the "Smart-o-wave," a device Nico invented; they add Che Guevara's The Motorcycle Diaries and all of a sudden, Che Guevara, Adam Smith and Karl Marx jump out of the microwave. To the tune of "The International," the thinkers narrate an elliptic history of communism. The kids conclude that the philosophers and their ideas are not helpful for solving concrete problems; in this case: finding funds to save the library. Mili and Nico, therefore decide to revive two monumental figures of Mexican modern art, whose political trajectories – or rather, their relationship to the Communist Party, communism as an assumed political position and the Soviet Union – transcended national politics: Siqueiros and Rivera, who are invited to paint murals in a competition with the purpose of having the library classified as "Historical Heritage" site in order to save it (as in misogynist art history, Kahlo's role in the competition is that of being mere supplemental decoration and here, sexual object). One of the rules of the competition is that each painter may revive a model of their own choosing through the Smart-o-wave; this is when Trotsky (Rivera's model) and Stalin (Siqueiros') enter into the scene to revive the drama of the Stalinist scission in Mexico under the obscure and reductive affirmation (in this context) that "We are all puppets of the system, after all." Meanwhile, other characters cede to their animal drives and begin to pursue individual desire: Diego starts inhaling thinner while Che Guevara hides away with Hipatia to have sex, and Trotsky and Kahlo revive their legendary romance. Moni, a dumb, superficial and climber blonde is convinced by Salim Rascagarra to counterattack and steal the "Smart-o-wave" so that they can revive his teacher, Milton Friedman, to help them solve the problem of the mural competition and thus seize the library.
In the next scene, Smith, Friedman and Ford, the pillars of contemporary neoliberal capitalism, explain to Moni how the system works, and she sums it up to the public: "The private sector has bought public services to destroy them through bankruptcy; it has expropriated citizens from the nation's wealth, and has made the financial debt public with financial rescuing." Moni's narrow and abstract description of capitalism, obviates the fact that neoliberalism, more than a policy of privatization, implies the hijacking of the commons: not only natural resources and infrastructure, but also knowledge, language, images and affect. Neoliberalism, moreover, is a strategy of domination that uses the State to promote certain competitive dynamics that benefit the super rich. In that sense, neoliberalism is less a strategy of production, than a massive transfer of wealth that has brought inequality, environmental devastation, food crisis, dismantling of the Welfare State, debt crisis, austerity measures, decrease of purchasing power and increase of unemployment. Finally, neoliberalism is a system based on the scission between private (domestic)/public domains and has the sexual contract at its basis; that is to say, neoliberalism is a system traversed by the sexual division of labor, imposing the nuclear family model and unjust economic roles, by thriving also on the unpaid, invisible labor, of the reproductive sphere.
When Moni "understands" capitalism, she betrays Rascagarra and converts to the library's cause; with the Smart-o-wave, she revives Steve Jobs, the figure that embodies in this context an ideal symbiosis between capitalism and socialism, and who will deal with the problem. For Jobs, to fight to preserve and old library that failed to survive the comings and goings of the market, is a mistake; from his point of view, what we must consider is that the "value" of a book, is the information it carries within itself. In that way, and in sync with Calros Loret de Mola's documentary film De panzazo (2012), produced by Televisa and financed by Mexicanos Primero, A.C., a group that lobbies for the privatization of Mexican education, Reyes' effectively displaces the question of public access to knowledge as a fundamental domain of political struggle to transform it into a matter of "democratic" access to information through private technological devices. Jobs presents his invention, the "iWei", a device to digitize books and to make all information available of the world to the world; for Jobs, the virtualization of information (and its availability) are a natural result of progress and technology. Because Jobs' invention makes the library obviously "obsolete," the mural competition becomes unnecessary. In spite of that, Rivera paints the "Mural of Digital Revolution," a version of the "Man at the Crossroads" panel of his infamously torn mural in 1933 at the Rockefeller center in New York, reproduced a Bellas Artes in Mexico City. In Reyes' version of the mural, Steve Jobs appears at the center carrying one of his iconic devices next to a cat. Once Jobs has solved the problem of the library, the kids expect that Rascagarra will either adopt Nico or find him a place to live, and it appears that the screwball comedy will have a happy ending. The characters, however, try to get a hold of the Smart-o-wave for personal benefit. This is when Stalin's already grotesque parody – every time that he exits the stage he becomes a bat – becomes even more partial: we find out that Stalin wants to use the Smart-o-wave to change history by mating men and monkeys and produce monsters so that he can get more attention and get made more movies about him than Hitler – he imagines that what would make him more famous than Hitler would be his aberrant transgenic practices. Reyes makes a further parody of Siqueiros' figure; in a personal vendetta, Siqueiros makes a "bomb mural" that he viscerally makes explode against "the corruption of revolutionary ideals." In the meantime, Salim Rascagarra realizes that there are more important things than his "Freedom Tower" and as a "socially responsible good capitalist," decides to transform the library into the "Gutenberg Foundation."
Ultimately in this comedy, the revolutionary figures are Assange and Jobs, who represent a kind of "third way," between neoliberalism and socialism: communicative capitalism. According to Jodi Dean, communicative capitalism is an ideological formation in which capitalism and democracy converge in networked communication technologies under the ideals of access, inclusion, discussion and participation, which materialize in the expansion and intensification of global telecommunications. Following Dean, however, digitalization, acceleration and storage of information intensify negative elements of capitalism. For example, the enthusiast participation in personal and social media is a trap that increases surveillance while work, culture and entertainment are being accelerated and intensified with the consequence that communication has ceased to be the critical "outside" to the system[2].
We must also take into account that in the script, "La revolución permanente" confuses Wikipedia (the project of gathering all the information of the world in a virtual place available for everyone, the continuation of D'Alambert's illuminist project) with Wikileaks: Julian Assange's project for which he has been trapped for two years in the Ecuadorian embassy in London surveyed day and night for 50 policemen. Assange's gesture to denounce the information that governments or corporations suppress or censor from public space because it has to do with the way in which state and corporate agencies mechanisms control us, questions the logic of the basis of "Western democracies" and their utopian basis on mass media transparency. Moreover, the fact that the "communist" tendency of the WWW (which implies the free flow of the common of information) is being regulated and censored with the Secondary Laws of the "Federal Law of Telecommunications and Radio Broadcasting" that President Peña Nieto has recently passed in congress is ignored. The implications of this law are worthwhile mentioning here, given the utopia of transparency of communication and information availability are the constituents of the "third way" that Reyes proposes in the play: a "competent authority" is enabled to block access to websites and contents which purportedly affect national security; that the telecommunications providers maintain a database with users' personal information and of any contact they may have done through communication networks. Legalizing direct State espionage to its citizens, the law allows to temporarily block telecommunications signals in critical places and events in the name of public security[3]. Ironically, because of a nominal issue, the law benefits Televisa, the audiovisual communication empire belonging to Emilio Azcárraga, the "namesake" for the story's apparent villain: "Salim Rascagarra." This character combines the name of Televisa's emperor with Carlos Slim's, the two if not most powerful, the most visible Mexican oligarchs and thus an easy target. Moreover, as we will see below, the performance ends up reaffirming the hegemonic idea that capitalism – with its denial of economic relevance of the spheres associated with femininity, and based on masculine experience in the markets to define economic normalcy – is the only alternative.
This is achieved by setting forth a tendentious revisionism of the history of Marxism, Maoism, Socialism, Leninism, which appear as defeated and demonized ghosts. Marxism is interpreted as a failed ideology, the fossilized reminder of an experiment that went terribly wrong. Amalgamating "communism" with the Soviet Union to vilify it – as the Nouveaux philosophes have been doing since the 1970s – "La revolución permanente" posits it as a kind of negative ideal before which the only sustainable and real paradigm for universal organization of the collective is (communicative) capitalism. The signifiers of communism appear emptied out of sense and context: "The International," Mexican Muralism, public libraries, Che Guevara reduced to his Motorcycle Diaries. In this frame: if there was Lenin, then Stalin; if there was revolution, then gulag; if there is a Party, then there are purges. Reyes thus presents communism as an imaginary immutable object, as a lineal process whose end we already know. Communism, however, as an idea, is an extremely open thought process that implies reclaiming the commons and the common, an alternative conception of the economy, a way of organizing the collective to achieve a more egalitarian distribution of wealth. What is at stake today is that contrary to socialism, neoliberalism implies acting on behalf of self-interest in detriment of the common good. The values proper to hegemonic economy are based on individual worth; for example, neoliberalism understands women's liberation as an array of individual processes and fails to address the question of patriarchy: there is equality of opportunities, but they are set above equality of results and salary, while independence is conceived as insertion in the market as workers and as consumers. This system of power relations conditioning the way in which the economy works, following Slavoj Zizek, is of a post-political order in which the only conflict that is considered legitimate is framed by the morality of personal "security" against crime and/or terrorism[4]. On the one hand, in contemporary political discourses (and in discourses of the left too), the concept of "worker," has disappeared, and on the other, (as it happens in "La revolución permanente" with the public education system) it is consistently demonized in a class war fought from above. In this context, there is no common political enemy except for that framed by "illegality" and crime denounced by the middle and upper classes that march on the streets dressed in white demanding that the government "do its job properly." In the case of indigenous communities (augmenting in number) fighting against expropriation of their lands and exploitation of their natural resources, the enemies are the "government" and "transnationals" which, however, enemies without a face, slippery, abstract, manifesting themselves in legal battles and in counterinsurgency disguised as "organized crime." This abstraction reflects the basic violence of capitalism, which is no longer assignable to neither individuals nor concrete ideas, but that is objective, systemic and anonymous.
Overall, the logic behind the script of "La revolución permanente" is null, as it invokes great concepts as CAPITALISM, REVOLUTION and RESISTANCE in a grotesque manner, through simplifications, empty statements and misogynist stereotypes built upon vulgar dualisms. Hollowing out concepts, the tone of the performance is that of intellectual marketing of hegemonic ideology. We can no longer speak of propaganda but about soft indoctrination with the point of view of the ruling classes. At the center of Reyes' play there is a questioning about what it means to be revolutionary, who is the true revolutionary and what it means to be revolutionary. One of the characters states: "To be revolutionary is to demonstrate against the government and to dance naked drinking tequila." Then, Siqueiros decides to "train" Mili, an online artivist, with karate lessons to transform her into a "soldier of the revolution." Mili and Siqueiros, however, fall out when it turns out that for the muralist, revolution is made with blood and sacrifice and for Mili, revolution means posting a video on Facebook. Surreptitiously endorsing the criminalization and jailing of young people who have participated in the past two years in demonstrations and manifestations, by promoting the practices of self-modeling and individual consumption are highlighted as places for action more important than large-scale organized movements. If militancy used to imply risking one's life and dying for one's ideas, today it is reduced to works of art and audiovisual productions as substitutes for political action. The aesthetic approach represented by Mili's artivism, disconnects politics from organized struggle, transforming politics into a matter of spectacle. In this manner, spectators can pay to feel radical without having to get their hands dirty, while the dominant class maintains its position and the contradictions of this class and the rest is not made evident as such.
The search for individual interests fulfillment as the only possible solution to capitalism's problems, is reaffirmed by Diego Rivera when he concludes that: "The revolution does not live neither in Marx, nor in Lenin, nor in Trotsky… the permanent revolution lives in all of you." With a similar approach, one of the key phrases that render the ideological discourse transparence in Reyes' script is pronounces by Mili:
"Let's not be afraid to act to seek what we really desire!"
"Long live the Permanent Revolution!"
The "permanent revolution" is thus the pursuit to fulfill our own desires cultivating personal interests, which not only alludes to the libidinal economy, but to the fact that the "permanent revolution" is the logic inherent to capitalism. That is to say, in order to survive, the capitalist system needs to constantly revolutionize its material conditions of existence and therefore, it is perpetually escaping its own contradictions (this is also known as creative destruction). In other words, in order to be continually productive, capitalism needs to get rid of obstacles and antagonisms that limit its material existence. And because its goal is to unleash productivity, eliminating the concrete contradictions of its existence, neoliberal capitalism is the permanent revolution. Taking this into account, Pedro Reyes' "La revolución permanente" left me a strange feeling, especially at the end when the puppets invited the public to yell-out: "I believe in Marx, I believe in Trotski, I believe in Mao, I believe in communism and I believe in the permanent revolution."
As the declarations of the Mexican Soccer Association during the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, before potential sanctions for discrimination and homophobia by FIFA, that the chant "puto," addressed to the other team's goalie at the moment of kicking the ball to start the game during the Mexican team's games, is not homophobic, the ideological distortion in Reyes' permanent revolution is extremely ideological: "The Permanent Revolution" is the subjective equivalent of the practice and doctrine of the free market, transforming dissidence into action in the name of self-interest. In this context, the political goals are personal elections of life-style; instead of defending a vision of a better world, less unequal and of production of the common for and by the collective, the message is that there is no other option than to fall into the seduction of individualism, consumerism, competition and privilege. From this point of view, the absence of a common goal is the equivalent of the absence of a future.
Moreover, the script denotes anxiety of communism, as it is invoked reductively and as a proper name, set forth as a threat to be suppressed. Contrary to the version of communism presented by Reyes, communism is an alternative political energy to capitalism; the desire for communism manifests the need to abolish capitalism creating practices at the global level for cooperative and communitarian equality (the self-organization and autonomy experiments of the normalistas in Guerrero, the self-defense groups in Michoacán, or the Zapatistas in Chiapas are good examples of this, and this is why they have been systematically attacked). The desire for communism is to change the perspective of "neoliberal democracy," defined in opposition to the fascisms of the 20th Century. It implies to reconfigure the components of political struggle in order to have as goals general inclusion, changes in lifestyle, militant opposition, the creation of organizations (party, councils, work groups, cells), above all, it implies to fight for the sovereignty of the collective above the economy through which we produce and reproduce ourselves. Communism is also healthcare for everyone, environmentalism, feminism, public education, right to collective negotiation, progressive taxing, paid vacations, bicycles and bicycle roads not only in affluent neighborhoods, to regulate the financial market, to tax the rich and corporations, to protect natural resources and the commons[5]. In sum, Pedro Reyes' "Permanent Revolution" is the negation of politics and experimentation that sets forth a conformist relationship to the museum and that represents the submission of critical thinking to the Global Military Industrial Museum Complex.

[1] On August 19, 2013, a contingent of the public school teachers' syndicate (CNTE) occupied the Zócalo as well as other important avenues in Mexico City to protest against President Enrique Peña Nieto's Education Reform (towards privatization). The demonstrators were subject to public lynching through the mass media, and were blamed for disturbing city's traffic and peaceful citizen's everyday lives. On the eve of the celebration of Mexico's Independence on September 15th, they were forcefully evacuated from their posts. On September 27, 2014, three buses full of normalistas (public school teachers to be) were brutally attacked, many were wounded, a few killed and 43 were illegally kidnapped by repressive elements of the State and taken away in official vehicles to an unknown location. Their whereabouts are still unknown.

"Local small businesses employ more people and respond to community needs better than big corporations do—but nearly all our investment dollars support Wall Street banks and huge companies. The path to local investing has been strewn with obstacles. Michael Shuman clears a path for us all, showing how local investing can help solve some of America's biggest social, economic, environmental, and political problems. This is a book many of us have been waiting for."—Richard Heinberg, author of The End of Growth and Peak Everything
—Richard Heinberg, author of The End of Growth and Peak Everything
A Community Resilience Guide
Americans' long-term savings in stocks, bonds, mutual funds, pension funds, and life insurance funds total about $30 trillion. But not even 1 percent of these savings touch local small business—even though roughly half the jobs and the output in the private economy come from them. So, how can people increasingly concerned with the poor returns from Wall Street and the devastating impact of global companies on their communities invest in Main Street?
In Local Dollars, Local Sense, local economy pioneer Michael Shuman shows investors, including the nearly 99% who are unaccredited, how to put their money into building local businesses and resilient regional economies—and profit in the process. A revolutionary toolbox for social change, written with compelling personal stories, the book delivers the most thorough overview available of local investment options, explains the obstacles, and profiles investors who have paved the way. Shuman demystifies the growing realm of local investment choices—from institutional lending to investment clubs and networks, local investment funds, community ownership, direct public offerings, local stock exchanges, crowdfunding, and more. He also guides readers through the lucrative opportunities to invest locally in their homes, energy efficiency, and themselves.
A rich resource for both investors and the entrepreneurs they want to support, Local Dollars, Local Sense eloquently shows how to truly protect your financial future—and your community's.
Michael H. Shuman is an economist, attorney, author, and entrepreneur, and a globally recognized expert on community economics. He is one of the architects of the crowdfunding JOBS Act signed into law by President Obama in April 2012. Director of Community Portals for Mission Markets and a fellow at Cutting Edge Capital and Post-Carbon Institute, Shuman is also a founding board member of the Business Alliance for Local Living Economies (BALLE) and teaches economic development at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver. He has authored or coauthored eight books, including Local Dollars, Local ...

the other thing to realize is that she wasn't personally attacking either of them, she was attacking a video that was related to their company! I understand they feel like their company is important but an individual accusing a company of being sexist and appealing to the leaders of that company is different from them mentioning their business connections and pulling those in the conversation.
"I, as a person, find this offensive" is not something you respond to with as "We, as a company know where you work and can tell your boss"

Discussed / LOL'd at this a bit on the Guardian thread because I didn't know where else to put it.
I haven't read the clusterfuck that I'm sure the comments will be, but on my first reading of the NYMag article, having read first the palaver, then Laurie Penny's ridiculous Gawker article...
I'm the first person to cry "sexism" in any situation where I detect even a sniff of it, but my reaction was: actually, not sexist. Hilarious.
That is: that I don't think that it's Penny's gender that caused the clusterfuck, but the things she wrote and the attitudes she seemed to take. I'm sure that she may receive a greater and more pointed *beatdown* for it, but the opprobrium is not due to her gender, but the fact that she behaved in a kind of a ridiculous and cliched manner. But, like, that's actually what some of us like LOLrie Penny for?

This could be the beginning of something good: The Cherokee County Engineer intends to retire next month, and his understudy has not yet passed all the exams to replace him. Cherokee County asked if BV County might share the expertise of Engineer Jon Ites for a few months until the deputy gets his full licensure. What are neighbors for?

All sorts of interesting ideas about how to improve Storm Lake have been floated through the years. Last week, experts from Iowa State University and the Department of Natural Resources discussed a) dredging more b) putting in three more islands as wavebreaks or c) raising the level of the lake by a half-foot to a foot.
By DON BEHM
Dr. Clayton Williams of Iowa State University provided a fascinating report Tuesday on how adding one or more islands to Storm Lake could reduce wind roiling the bottom sediment and improve water clarity. Adding three islands about the size of the Big Island would dramatically improve water quality and reduce turbidity (suspended sediment in the water) to meet federal clean water goals.
Back in the early 1990s, then-City Administrator Clarence Krepps showed us a study from the previous decade showing that it would take tens of millions of dollars to relieve Storm Lake of flooding after heavy rains. The area around Storm Lake High School, Tulip and Rose Lane, and Russell Street were common sites of flooding after a fast rain of an inch or two. It became worse as more houses were built.
Iowa's Second City rolls snake-eyes with gaming panel
Jefferson was awarded a casino license by the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission last week. Cedar Rapids, Iowa's Second City, walked away with empty pockets. That story illustrates what's wrong with the gambling paradigm in Iowa.
I read an article in The Storm Lake Times about Japanese Americans. This brought back some memories of my training during WWII. We watched different movies showing why we fight. The last movie we saw was titled "Westward Lies Bataan." When the war ended they quit showing these movies to new recruits.
Storm Lake never has looked better. The water is clear as we have ever seen it over six decades. The lake has become the top spot in Iowa for walleye fishing, and it also may be the state's best spot for catfish. This is all because of a massive dredging project that is set to continue for at least another three years. And it would not have happened were it not for the Lake Preservation Association of Storm Lake.
Tyson's winning offer to purchase Hillshire Brands is of special note in Storm Lake, where the two food processors together employ more than 2,200 people. No doubt the news is met with a degree of uncertainty, since no one really knows how this deal will work out. We take it with a measure of relief, because the alternative would leave this community in a more tenuous position.
It took one of two independents in the US Senate to get Congress off the dime and provide a vehicle to allow military veterans timely health care services, especially in rural places.

India hockey skipper Sardar Singh and former captain Ajit Pal Singh on Monday said that the players from Pakistan should be allowed to be a part of the Hero Hockey India League (HIL) as it would improve the overall standard of the league.
Pakistan hockey chief coach Shahnaz Shaikh has claimed that there was a conspiracy against his team following the suspension of Mohammad Tousiq and Amjad Ali meted out in the recently held Champions Trophy in Bhubaneswar.
As Pakistan edged out India in a hard-fought semi-final of the Champions Trophy in Bhubaneswar, some of the Pakistani players allowed emotions to get the better of them as they engaged in over the top celebrations.
Pakistan hockey coach Shahnaz Sheikh on Sunday issued an official apology to FIH and Hockey India for the rude and obscene behavior of his players after their win against India in the semi-final of the FIH Men's Champions Trophy 2014 on Saturday.
India captain Sardar Singh feels arch-rivals Pakistan have the arsenal in their disposal to progress to the next stage of the FIH Champions Trophy to be held here from December 6-14.
Pakistan started the mindgames ahead of their high-profile summit clash against arch-rivals India with goalkeeper Imran Butt claiming that his team will enjoy "psychological advantage" over Sardar Singh's boys when the two teams square off tomorrow.
As if the humiliation of not being able to qualify for the ongoing World Cup in Rotterdam was not enough for Pakistani hockey fans now even the national veterans team has been forced to pull out of the Masters World Cup tournament on the sidelines of the main event.
A group of Pakistani Olympic hockey greats protested outside the parliament in Islamabad against the present set up in the Pakistan Hockey Federation, calling for the sacking of the present PHF officials and an inquiry against them.
Pakistan hockey great Tahir Zaman believes if India and his country could work out a uniform sub-continental coaching structure and manual, both could benefit immensely branding their own unique hockey style.
Pakistan defender Muhammad Arslan Qadir was today suspended for two matches for a Level 2 offence which relates to a "physical assault, without injury, of another player" during their Pool A match against holders Germany at the ongoing Hero FIH Junior Men`s World Cup here.
Pakistan have worked on different strategies for each team and would look to execute their plans in Hero Hockey Junior World Cup which begins here tomorrow, their coach Anjum Saeed said on Wednesday.
Germany are determined to defend their title and extend their record to six in the Junior Hockey World Cup at the Major Dhyan Chand National Stadium here Dec 6-15.
Pakistan junior hockey team`s coach Mohammed Danish Kaleem says his boys are here to "win Indian hearts" and in the process play well to win the Junior World Cup, starting here at the Major Dhyan Chand National Stadium Dec 6-15.
Akhtar Rasool, chief manager and head coach of Pakistan`s national hockey team, Tuesday resigned from his post after the national team`s failure to qualify for next year`s World Cup in Holland, Xinhua reported.
The under-fire secretary of the Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF), Asif Bajwa resigned from his post today after the national team failed to qualify for the FIH World Cup for the first time since 1971.
Former players on Saturday called for the sacking of Pakistan Hockey Federation officials after the country failed to qualify for the World Cup for the first time in history.
Pakistan`s failure to qualify for next year`s hockey World Cup has already started to roll heads with coach Tahir Zaman hinting that he will step down from his position after the conclusion of the ongoing ninth Asia Cup, here.
Akhtar Rasool, the head coach and manager of the Pakistan Hockey team, has called on the national federations of both India and Pakistan to work together in organising bilateral series to revive hockey in both the countries.
Pakistan hockey coach Akhtar Rasool today created a big controversy when he kicked out experienced forward Shakeel Abbasi from the national training camp for fasting.
Pakistan hockey appears to be caught in a web of problems as their foreign coach Michel Van Den Huevel has refused to attend a training camp for the London Olympic probables in protest over some issues.

Concerns about safety
Concerns safety are driving a worldwide debate about the safety of foods derived from GM plant or animal sources and about the labelling of foods that may contain GM ingredients.
The approval procedures of FSANZ ensure that any new foods released onto the market are assessed for safety by answering questions such as:
- Is the genetic material transferred unchanged from its source, and does it work in the same way in its new location?
- Is any of this genetic material present in the food product derived from the GM plant or animal?
- Could any of this genetic material cause harm if it was transferred to human cells?
- Are new proteins produced in the plant or animal as a result of genetic modification?
- Are these proteins present in the food product derived from the GM plant or animal?
- Are any new proteins in the food product likely to be poisonous or cause allergies?
- Is the composition of the food product derived from the genetically modified plant or animal different from the non-GM form of the food?
The safety assessment process undertaken for GM foods is a more thorough process than that undertaken for all other foods, and the level of safety associated with GM foods is at least as high as that of all other available foods.
Tempting debate with beer
A Swedish brewer has created a new light lager that's produced with the usual hops and barley — and a touch of GM corn. The purpose of this beer is to encourage the public to become more involved in the biotech debate. Apart from protests by Greenpeace, the beer is being fairly well accepted across the country.
To find out more about FSANZ's safety assessment process for GM foods refer to their publication, 'GM foods': http://www.foodstandards.gov.au/_srcfiles/GM%20Foods_text_pp_final.pdf
