Misleading financial analysis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
|This article does not cite any references or sources. (September 2007)
Financial analysis of an organization is misleading when it is used to misrepresent the organization, its situation or its prospects.
This type of deceit is sometimes used to obtain money by misdirecting people to invest in a stock market bubble, profiting (or assisting others to profit) from the increase in value, then removing funds before the bubble collapses, for instance in a pump and dump scheme.
Financial regulators exist to try to prevent such fraud.

The following instructions explain how to configure Netscape Navigator, the most popular Web browser, to play QuickTime video files. These instructions assume you are using Windows 95. We also offer help for Windows 3.1 and Macintosh.
To see QuickTime videos, there's no shortcut: you must have Apple's QuickTime software. Here's how to get it:
Step 1 - Get QuickTime Software
If you're not yet ready to upgrade, skip ahead.
Note: If you are using Microsoft's Internet Explorer 3.0, you must download ActiveMovie, a program that allows the browser to play QuickTime, as well as MPEG and AVI files. But first, check to see if you already have ActiveMovie by going to your C drive and searching for "actmovie.exe." If it's not there, get a copy at Microsoft's download page (634 KB).
If You Don't Want to Upgrade ...
If you don't want to upgrade to Navigator 3.0, you can still use Netscape to use the QuickTime software you just downloaded. Here's how:
Pumpkin (Quicktime, 51K)
You should see a box like this:
To see the pumpkin glow, just click the play button, which is similar to the one on a VCR.
Notice that the video clip is preceded by a movie icon. On WashingtonPost.com, this icon designates a video clip. The information in parentheses tell you what kind of video it is (QuickTime or AVI) and how large it is in kilobytes (K). Videos we produce will always be well under 300K to be accessible over modems, but clips on other sites may be longer.
Across the Web, video clips are frequently designated by three letters (or extension) at the end of the file name. The extension for QuickTime is (.mov). The extension for AVI is (.avi).
Is That All?
For QuickTime video, yes. But you'll also find a lot of AVI videos on the Web. Read our AVI guide to learn how to get the best AVI tool.
QuickTime for:
Windows 95
Windows 3.1
AVI tool for:
Windows 95
Windows 3.1
Since we send you to other sites, you might also want to bookmark this page so you can easily return. To learn how to do this, refer to our user guide.
If you recently installed a multi-media CD-ROM, it's possible that you already have QuickTime on your computer. So why download this version? This is QuickTime version 2.1.2, and you could have version 2.1.1.
If you're absolutely sure that you have the latest version, skip step 1. But if you have any doubts, we recommend going ahead with the download. The QuickTime installer will alert you if you don't need to upgrade. If it asks you if you would like to delete the old version of QuickTime, say yes.
If you're absolutely sure that you have the latest version, skip step 1. But if you have any doubts, we recommend going ahead with the download. The QuickTime installer will alert you if you don't need to upgrade. If it asks you if you would like to delete the old version of QuickTime, say yes.

Carlos Carrasco Rumors
Phillies Scouting Burnett?
Let's check in with the Phillies.
- Robert MacLeod notes the presence of the Phillies' director of Major League scouting at A.J. Burnett's start tonight in Baltimore. Would the Phillies add another starter?
- Jim Salisbury talked to Phils GM Pat Gillick about the rumored Matt Holliday blockbuster. Gillick rolled his eyes at the rumor.
- In general, Gillick seems higher on catching prospect Lou Marson than pitching prospect Carlos Carrasco.
- Gillick's top target is a left-handed reliever, with a bat on the radar as well. Some kind of acquisition is a "good possibility."

Phillies No Longer Interested In Fuentes?
MLB.com's Trade Talk blog speculates that the Phillies may no longer be pursuing Colorado closer Brian Fuentes, after Philadelphia traded three prospects for Joe Blanton. The blog wonders, "How many chips do (the Phillies) have to play?" Then, the blog hedges its bets:
If an earlier report is correct, the Rockies have asked the Phillies for right-hander Carlos Carrasco or catcher Lou Marson in return for Fuentes, so something could still be possible.
Trade Talk goes on to say that the Rockies would "hit the jackpot if a team came up with a young, talented starter — like, say, the Yankees' Phil Hughes or Ian Kennedy, or a couple of top Double-A prospects such as the Rays' Wade Davis or Jeremy Hellickson."
It's highly unlikely the Phillies will deal Carrasco, the organization's top prospect, for a set-up man. It's an absolute impossibility that the Yankees will trade Hughes for Fuentes. The Rays are still considered the front-runners for Fuentes, the blog says.
Coley Ward writes for Umpbump.com and can be reached here.

Rosenthal's Latest: Fuentes, Holliday, Sherrill
Ken Rosenthal tops off the day with a column full of rumors.
- Signing Mark Teixeira as a replacement for Manny Ramirez doesn't make sense for the Red Sox, who don't want to take on that kind of mega-contract.
- The Phillies were recently working on a blockbuster with Colorado that would have netted them Brian Fuentes and Matt Holliday for something like Shane Victorino, J.A. Happ, Carlos Carrasco, and Lou Marson. Those talks have stalled, and the added payroll might've been a problem for the Phillies anyway.
- Though Frank McCourt denies it, Rosenthal says the Dodgers owned vetoed a CC Sabathia/Casey Blake/Jamey Carroll blockbuster because of a desire to keep trades payroll-neutral.
- The Rockies, as well as the many suitors for Brian Fuentes, fear he could accept an offer of arbitration and saddle them with an $8MM salary in '09 instead of two draft picks. Given Fuentes' stated desire to close, I find this unlikely.
- A Pirates scout watched David Price's last start, though he was likely looking at other members of the Montgomery Biscuits. The Rays are known to be interested in Xavier Nady.
- The A's, stacked with second base candidates, are already getting calls on Adrian Cardenas. Trading Mark Ellis would make more sense though.
- Rosenthal believes the Orioles are reluctant to trade George Sherrill because they don't have a suitable replacement for him in the ninth inning this year.
- Brewers minor league shortstop Alcides Escobar is untouchable, and his ascent could lead the team to shop J.J. Hardy this winter.

Sherman's Latest: Adenhart, Burnett, Niese, Ibanez
Joel Sherman of the New York Post has been digging up rumors left and right – here, here, and here in recent days. Let's discuss.
- The Angels have "hinted at a willingness to build a deal around pitching prospect Nick Adenhart." This would apparently involve Mark Teixeira or Matt Holliday.
- The Phillies made an initial offer last week for A.J. Burnett, and the Jays were thoroughly unimpressed. The Phillies won't discuss prospects Carlos Carrasco, Lou Marson, or Greg Golson in trades.
- The Yankees have zero interest in Burnett.
- The A's are willing to move Joe Blanton. He's not perfect, but he can eat innings and is under team control through 2010.
- Six games out of the wild card with a league-best offense, the Rangers don't look like sellers.
- At least ten teams watched Mets' Double A starter Jon Niese pitch Saturday. He's their top trade chip given the unavailability of Fernando Martinez.
- The Pirates have their eye on the Yankees' Ross Ohlendorf, if the Yanks become buyers for players like Damaso Marte or Xavier Nady.
- Three Raul Ibanez suitors are named: the Diamondbacks, Dodgers, and Red Sox.
- At least nine teams are monitoring Freddy Garcia: the Yankees, Mets, Astros, Rangers, Royals, Red Sox, Phillies, Tigers, and White Sox. We've seen the Braves, Rays, and Cubs mentioned too. Garcia's agent isn't up for an '09 option with his client. A-Rod is said to be pushing for the Yankees to sign him.
- Sherman notes a rumor around the game that has Pat Gillick becoming Mariners president next year, and Brian Cashman coming on as his GM.

Stark's Latest: Burnett, Nady, Greinke, Burrell
FRIDAY: We have an update to Stark's column – he is now saying that Burnett does have veto power over 15 teams.
THURSDAY: Let's take a look at Jayson Stark's latest over at ESPN.com.
- The Phillies and Yankees both made failed runs at CC Sabathia. The Phils wouldn't include Carlos Carrasco or Lou Marson, while the Yanks insisted on a negotiating window. The Phils are looking at Erik Bedard and A.J. Burnett by default, while neither of those pitchers makes sense for the Yankees. The Yanks checked in on Aaron Harang, but that's a moot point since he's ailing.
- Despite the Dodgers' run at Sabathia, they're apparently not looking at other starters.
- Ken Rosenthal recently wrote that Burnett had veto power over 15 teams, but Stark's source says it's just a handful of teams. It'll be tough to convince Burnett not to opt out of his contract after the season, unless he's hurt.
- The Braves still haven't made the buy/sell decision. If they buy, Xavier Nady is the top target. If they sell, Mark Teixeira is the best chip. Apparently Scott Boras is talking about $23MM per year for Tex this winter.
- The Giants are pretty clearly not trading Matt Cain.
- The Orioles, making a run at .500, don't seem motivated to move George Sherrill or othe top veterans.
- The Brewers' Plan B beyond Sabathia was Zack Greinke, rather than Rich Harden. Ken Rosenthal recently said the Royals were "decidedly uninterested in moving Greinke," however.
- Stark says it "wouldn't be out of the question" for the Cubs to pursue a lefthanded starter like Randy Wolf, despite the Harden acquisition.
- Extension with the Phillies for Pat Burrell did not get very far.

Odds and Ends: Kemp, Kearns, Carrasco, Garcia
Friday linkage…
- Yesterday I linked to Dave Cameron's piece, in which he wondered whether Matt Kemp is overrated. Here's the other side of the debate, a response from Mike Scioscia's Tragic Illness.
- Joe Sports Fans names the seven worst trades of the decade. I have some arguments here; what do you think? I wrote this post on the Pierzynski/Nathan/Liriano/Bonser deal two years ago, but I still think it holds that Brian Sabean's trade looked reasonable at the time.
- Joel Sherman wonders if the Mets and Yankees should consider trading for Washington outfielder Austin Kearns.
- Matt Gelb takes a look at Phillies prospect Carlos Carrasco, who does not want to be traded.
- The Yankees rightfully don't view Freddy Garcia as much of an upgrade, since he won't be ready until late August at the earliest.
- Tracy Ringolsby runs through various players on the trade market. Interestingly, he does not see A.J. Burnett being traded.
- Cardinals Diaspora suggests the Cards tangle with Billy Beane again, this time for Joe Blanton.
- Dave Dombrowski doesn't see Ryan Perry in the Tigers' bullpen this year, after all.
- Armchair GM challenges SI.com's Jon Heyman to put his money where his mouth is.

Odds and Ends: Yorman, Hamilton, Ng, Carrasco
Some odds and ends before you fire up the grill…
- The Twins signed their other first round pick, Carlos Gutierrez.
- According to Jeff Passan, 15 year-old Venezuelan center fielder Yorman Rodriguez may have already agreed to a deal with the Reds.
- MLB.com's Jim Molony notes that the Phillies' director of Major League scouting watched a recent Red Sox-Astros game.
- Like Brian Bannister, Arizona's Max Scherzer uses an understanding of BABIP to his advantage.
- Josh Hamilton sensed jealousy in the Reds' clubhouse. Wayne Krivsky says it wasn't a factor in the trade but that "there were issues in the clubhouse."
- Yahoo's Tim Brown has an article on Kim Ng.
- Phillies' pitching prospect Carlos Carrasco has "mild soreness" in his pitching shoulder.
- Jeff Francoeur has been sent to Double A to reboot his swing.
- I chatted with Eric DeLash over at his blog. I also answered some questions from The Blog Of Champions.
Latest On C.C. Sabathia
The latest on the C.C. Sabathia Sweepstakes…
- Indians GM Mark Shapiro said yesterday "it's pretty obvious" that his team is in sell mode. There's no new information on the team's reported attempt to sign Sabathia to an extension before actively shopping him.
- The Phillies have scouted both Sabathia and Erik Bedard in recent weeks. The Mariners attempted to observe Phils prospect Carlos Carrasco last night, but he was scratched with shoulder stiffness. With Brett Myers in the minors, GM Pat Gillick is trying not to look desperate.
- Yesterday ESPN's Buster Olney heard that the Rays and Red Sox "essentially have no interest in completing a trade for Sabathia, because of other concerns."

Rosenthal's Latest: Athletics, Phillies
From his Full Count video update, Ken Rosenthal brings us a couple bullet points:
- In contention, the A's suddenly could become a buyer. Rosenthal cites the big names: Matt Holliday, Jason Bay or even C.C. Sabathia, and that the A's certainly have the prospects to pull it off.
- The Phillies could enter the mix for Sabathia as well; however, they'd have to give up top pitching prospect Carlos Carrasco. Carrasco is the top rated Phillies prospect for the second straight year by Baseball America.

Stark's Latest: Sabathia, Bedard, Phillies, Freel
It's Thursday, and you know what that means. Time for another installment of Jayson Stark's Rumblings and Grumblings at ESPN.com.
- Stark runs through a laundry list of candidates for the Mariners' and Mets' manager and GM vacancies.
- The Indians will not be giving a negotiation window for a team hoping to sign C.C. Sabathia while acquiring him.
- Erik Bedard is "now officially on the market." Bedard's value has diminished since the Mariners acquired him, however.
- The Phillies have already inquired on Sabathia, A.J. Burnett, Bronson Arroyo, and Jarrod Washburn. Stark sees Bedard joining that group, but believes it'd require Carlos Carrasco and Antonio Bastardo.
- Ryan Freel is drawing strong interest; Stark names the Phillies, Braves, Mets, and Marlins as suitors.
- Ken Griffey Jr. apparently still wants to finish his career in Seattle.
- Stark agrees with Ken Rosenthal – Mark Teixeira is not available. Nor is Ben Sheets, by the way.
- The Marlins are looking for center field, catcher, and bullpen help. Stark believes they'd be willing to give up a near-arb Josh Willingham type for players with less service time.
- The Yankees seem open to bringing back Jason Giambi next year, after they buy out his option. Giambi is currently third in the AL in OPS at .979.

The London 2012 Summer Olympic Games start this Friday — when some of the top athletes from around the world will go head to head for the coveted gold medal.
At Vetstreet, we know that animals are also capable of some amazing physical feats, so we decided to look at critters who could easily compete against current human record holders in eight popular events.
Human Record Holder: The Olympic record for the 100-meter dash was set by Usain Bolt of Jamaica at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. With a time of 9.69 seconds, Bolt ran at an average 23 miles per hour.
Animal Contender: The champion sprinter of the animal kingdom is the cheetah. This cat can run 70 miles per hour for bursts of 183 meters — that's twice the length of the Olympic race, and three times as fast as Bolt.

Human Record Holder: Olympic diving hasn't been judged for how far a person can dive since the 1904 games, which included an event called Plunge for Distance, a kind of diving long jump. The one and only gold medal ever won for this event went to William Dickey of the U.S. for a distance of 62.5 feet.
Animal Contender: Even animals who live partly on land can dive to amazing depths — the emperor penguin can plunge to 1,500 feet, staying under for almost 30 minutes. And the elephant seal can dive to a depth of 5,000 feet and stay submerged for almost two hours.
Human Record Holder: The Olympic record for the 10,000-meter race is held by Kenenisa Bekele of Ethiopia, which was set at the 2008 games. Bekele's time was 27:01.17, and he clocked an average speed of 13 miles per hour.
Animal Contender: The pronghorn, which resembles an antelope, is the fastest land mammal in North America — and the speediest in the world at long distances. Pronghorns can sprint at 60 miles per hour, and run at 45 miles per hour for miles without tiring.
Human Record Holder: The Olympic record for the high jump was set at the 1996 Atlanta games by Charles Austin of the U.S. He jumped 2.39 meters or 7 feet, 10 1/10 inches.
Animal Contender: The mountain lion (also called the puma or cougar) can spring 20 feet straight up a hill — the height of a two-story building — from a standstill. And the impala can leap almost 12 feet into the air.
Sergey Yeliseev via Flickr
Human Record Holder: The Olympic marathon record was set in 2008 by the late Samuel Kamau Wansiru of Kenya, who completed the race in two hours and 6.32 minutes. That's a speed of about 12.4 miles per hour over a course of a little more than 26 miles.
Animal Contender: The great snipe, a marsh-dwelling bird, can migrate across Europe from Sweden to Africa in two days without stopping for a rest. That's a trip of 4,200 miles at an average speed of 60 miles per hour.
Human Record Holder: At the 2004 Athens games, Hossein Rezazadeh of Iran lifted 263 kilograms during the Clean and Jerk in the heaviest weight class for lifters. That's about 100 kilograms more than his own weight.
Animal Contender: The rhinoceros beetle, which weighs less than an ounce, can carry 850 times the weight of his body. That's the equivalent of a human lifting a 65-ton weight.
Rob Hughes via Flickr
Human Record Holder: César Cielo of Brazil holds the Olympic record in the 50-meter freestyle swim, which he set in Beijing in 2008. His speed of 21.3 seconds comes out to 2.35 meters per second — a little over five miles per hour.
Animal Contender: The sailfish can swim at a speed of 68 miles per hour, which is more than 10 times faster than the quickest human. With his sword-like snout, he could probably give the Olympic fencing team a run for its money too.

Human Record Holder: The record for the long jump — currently the longest-standing Olympic record — was set at the Mexico games in 1968. Bob Beamon of the U.S. jumped 29 feet and 2.5 inches, breaking the world record by nearly two feet.
Animal Contender: The Australian rocket frog can make a leap of almost seven feet. Since the amphibian is only two inches long, that's over 50 times the frog's body length. Beamon's jump was impressive, but it was less than five times his height.

In addition, one ex-banker was "screaming loudly" that public money at RHB and Maybank was squandered away.

Our community's initiative to improve the health of
all residents will be guided by a coordinating
council as more and more people continue to act on
the strategies developed in 2013-2014. The Thurston
Thrives Coordinating Council (TTCC) will have its
first meeting, convened by the Thurston County
Chamber Foundation as fiscal agent, on April 23,
2015. The initial ten (10) members of the Council,
will be joined by the nominees from the Action
Teams, and an education sector representative, who
are anticipated to be confirmed at that first
Three (3) additional members, including two (2)
at-large community representatives, are expected to
be selected by the TTCC thereafter.
As of the start of February 2015, the community is
now forming the Thurston Thrives
Coordinating Council, backbone structure for the
initiative in its new implementation phase. On
December 9, 2014, the Board of County
Commissioners approved the recommendation from the
November 5, 2014 retreat to establish this structure
to shepherd Thurston Thrives from this point
forward. The TT Coordinating Council is a
public/private partnership designed to support the
initiative's various action hubs in continuous
communication, measurement of progress, and
promotion. The Thurston County Chamber Foundation
has agreed to serve as fiscal agent for the
Coordinating Council. For more details on this new
and the nomination process for members that is now

Thurston County Board of Health is
joining with community leaders from business, education,
city government, neighborhoods, local charities, social and
medical care groups to honor what we do for our families'
health, to celebrate our collective efforts, and find ways
to do even better together. They call it Thurston
Thurston Thrives is a project aimed at bringing together
community partners of Thurston County around the work we
share. One of the main focuses of the project is to
ensure that our county is thriving through the collaboration
on the public health and social services that we bring to
our community, to honor those who make Thurston County a
healthy and safe place to live, and to align efforts to make
an even bigger difference in the health of our community.
The purpose is to engage our leaders across the board to
move forward an action agenda we can all believe in to
improve health for all Thurston
County residents.
Improving health is not a mystery,
really. It takes effort not just from doctors, and not
just from government. It takes action by all parts of
the community. Some of this we commonly associate with
health: Medical care, social services and the environment.
But it is also things we do not always think about as
health: Education, jobs and housing.
We will be reaching out across our community to achieve
these connections and to align efforts behind common goals.
We want to build on what is already going on. What is
new in Thurston Thrives is keeping better in touch with each
other's progress, and supporting each other's work.
Everyone has a part to play in the health of our community -
we hope you will join us to engage this strategic approach.
Because a healthy community is something we all believe in.

I would think you could loosen the U bolts and shift the center pin within the mounting pad as much as possible. Here's how you would know if it's 'factory'.
Measure from a common place on both sides such as the flange where the brake dust plate mounts. Measure from here....to the center of the pad where the leaf spring sits,.....on both sides.
If there is a difference in that measurement, then you know where you're problem lies. If it's the same, then something else is out of whack. If possible, find another x runner in your area and compare measurements. I find it hard to believe Toyota would have that much of a difference on purpose.

Cunsumers Usen Pawn In Phoenix At Higher Rates
While money that is committing greater estimated dividends comes with more danger, and better opportunities generally spend less. Now, in case the jewelry is stamped and you also have doubts whether it is actual gold, you are able to take it to jewelers that are selected to find out whether or not it's gold that is genuine. The shop basics the loan amount how much it feels them will probably be worth and just how much it might offer it for. Folks purchase gold simply as an investment within the kind of wires or biscuits right now. However now together with the value that is silver gradually above $30, there's a whole lot more incentive for scammers to create bars and artificial coins.
Conspiracy theorists, about the other-hand, tend to be separated and bad instructional sorts who commit a lot of their time online.

Bag of Tricks
Years ago, when memory was measured in megabytes, floppy disks were actually floppy, and cell phones were just for talking I worked as a PC technician. Fast forward a couple of decades and I don't know as much as I used to. I still help friends and family out from time to time. Tonight I got such a call and my initial thought was that the hard drive had failed. In years past I had MS-DOS on a floppy and could run SCANDISK or get to a command line.
It dawned on me, embarrassingly, that I don't have anything to do with.
Any suggestions?
Try replacing hard drive with known good hard drive and see if that solves the problem ... (I keep spare hard drives lying about that I've outgrown ... I keep them empty unless I'm actually using them, so when I put them into the non-working system, I have nothing on the drive to cause any kind of problems) ...
I also have bootable CDs that run Windows XP, Windows 7, and Linux Redhat ... plus a thumb drive (8 GB) with a good utility suite for fixing problems. You may want to think about doing something similar if you want to keep helping out your friends and family.
Programs I regularly keep and use:
Avira Anti-Virus - antivirus
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware - anti-malware
Spybot Search and Destroy - anti-spyware
Ad-Aware - anti-adware
CCleaner - registry cleaner, uninstaller
Defraggler - defragmenter
CCCP (Combined Community Codec Pack) - codec and media player
various video files in multiple formats to confirm that the system is capable of playing video and sound files properly...
It all fits on a single 700MB CD-R ... I generally charge 1 dollar for a disc, or give one free to anybody I helped out. I charge them 20 dollars per hour + parts or 20 dollars flat fee + cost of parts for family and friends/co-workers.
Now,, most should go to the repair environment .... if not , Now you need a repair disc to boot from if sounds like. A windows install disc is excellent to run repair from. What version windows you trying to get at ?
Holding power button in 5 seconds is a hardware reset most forget about - Which surprisingly, many have thanked ffor saving their beloved computer after much panic.
For such things I boot a live linux Mint cd, If you have network capability you can download gnome disk utilities that will check SMART status and perform some further tests. Of course there are other linux choices.
I had one drive that could not be accessed by Mint, but Rescatux could and I was able to retrieve the drive contents with it.
Not enough info. to go on here, but with W7 or W8 you are instructed to burn your recovery disks and repair disk in the first week if possible of booting up your new PC. Because the OS disk no longer comes with a new PC. There are things that can be done however not knowing the exact problem, it's impossible to advise.
If you have the basics on a bootable USB stick and on a CD or DVD you are usually OK.
A bootable Linux stick or CD/DVD can be used to poke at a hard drive to see if it's still there.
WHDD at http://whdd.org/ is a well-recommended drive diagnostic and data rescue program..
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/37659/the-beginners-guide-to-linux-disk-utilities/ has a whole bunch of stuff.
Also, having a decent-sized USB hard drive for rescuing data is good. Go in, grab the data and then you can do all kinds of things.

Detentions underscore Haitian children's plight
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti – Ten U.S. Baptists arrested trying to take 33 children out of earthquake-shattered Haiti say they were just trying to do the right thing, applying Christian principles to save Haitian children.
Prime Minister Max Bellerive told the Associated Press on Sunday he was outraged by the group's "illegal trafficking of children" in a country long afflicted by the scourge and by foreign meddling.
But the hard reality on the ground in this desperately poor country – especially after the catastrophic Jan. 12 quake – is that some parents openly attest to their willingness to part with their children if it will mean a better life.
It was a sentiment expressed by all but one of some 20 Haitian parents interviewed at a tent camp Sunday that teemed with children whose toys were hewn from garbage.
"Some parents I know have already given their children to foreigners," said Adonis Helman, 44. "I've been thinking how I will choose which one I may give – probably my youngest."
Haiti's overwhelmed government has halted all adoptions unless they were in motion before the quake amid fears that parentless or lost children are more vulnerable than ever to being seized and sold.
Without proper documents and concerted efforts to track down their parents, they could be forever separated from family members able and willing to care for them. Bellerive's personal authorization is now required for the departure of any child.
The orphanage where the children were later taken said at least some of the kids have living parents, who were apparently told that the children were going on an extended holiday from the post-quake misery.
The church group's own mission statement said it planned to spend only hours in the devastated capital, quickly identifying children without immediate families and busing them to a hotel in the Dominican Republic without bothering to get permission from the Haitian government.
Whatever their intentions, other child welfare organizations in Haiti called the plan reckless.
"The instinct to swoop in and rescue children may be a natural impulse but it cannot be the solution for the tens of thousands of children left vulnerable by the Haiti earthquake," said Deb Barry, a protection expert at Save the Children, which wants a moratorium on new adoptions. "The possibility of a child being scooped up and mistakenly labeled an orphan in the chaotic aftermath of the disaster is incredibly high."
The church members, most from Idaho, said they were only trying to rescue abandoned and traumatized children.
"In this chaos the government is in right now, we were just trying to do the right thing," the group's spokeswoman, Laura Silsby, told the AP at Haiti's judicial police headquarters, where she and others were taken after their arrest Friday night trying to cross the border into the Dominican Republic in a bus.
Silsby admitted she had not obtained the proper Haitian documents for the children, whose names were written on pink tape on their shirts.
The children, ages 2 months to 12 years old, were taken to an orphanage run by Austrian-based SOS Children's Villages, where spokesman George Willeit said they arrived "very hungry, very thirsty."
A 2- to 3-month-old baby was dehydrated and had to be hospitalized, he said.
"One (8-year-old) girl was crying, and saying, 'I am not an orphan. I still have my parents.' And she thought she was going on a summer camp or a boarding school or something like that," Willeit said.
The orphanage was working to reunite the children with their families, joining a concerted effort by the Haitian government, the United Nations, the International Committee of the Red Cross and other nongovernmental organizations.
In Idaho, the Rev. Clint Henry denied that his Central Valley Baptist Church had anything to do with child trafficking and said he didn't believe such reports.
He urged his tearful congregation to pray to God to "help them as they seek to resist the accusations of Satan and the lies that he would want them to believe and the fears that he would want to plant into their heart."
Many religious groups run legitimate adoption agencies and orphanages in Haiti. Some of the children in them aren't actually orphans, but have been left by relatives who can't afford their care.
Sean Lankford, of Meridian, Idaho, whose wife and 18-year-old daughter were being held, told the AP that U.S. consular officials told him a court hearing was scheduled for today. The Americans were being held at judicial police headquarters.
However, Haiti's justice secretary, Amarick Louis, told the AP on Sunday that a commission would meet today to determine if the group would go before a judge.
The Americans include members of the Central Valley Baptist Church in Meridian, and the East Side Baptist Church in Twin Falls, Idaho. They are part of the Southern Baptist Convention, which is America's largest Protestant denomination and has extensive humanitarian programs worldwide.

The Law of Jante
February 11, 2015 | by Michael Booth
How an irritable Danish author left an enduring mark on the national character.
Your modern-day Dane is not what you would call a God-fearing creature. The Danish church, though never formally separated from the state (as happened in Sweden), plays an ever-diminishing role in the lives of the vast majority of Danes, with Sunday attendance experiencing an apparently inexorable decline, divorce increasing, and church leaders gently shunted into the margins of the popular discourse. You would imagine, then, that the teachings of Martin Luther would hold little currency in Danish society today, yet many of the core principles of Lutheranism—parsimony, modesty, disapproval of individualism or elitism—still define the manner in which the Danes behave toward one another and view the rest of the world, thanks in part to the enduring influence of an improbable literary figure.
Aksel Nielsen was a sensitive and sickly child who grew into a weak and stunted young adult. The son of a smith, he was born in 1899 in the somnolent North Jutland town of Nykøbing on the island of Mors. He received a rudimentary education at the local school until 1916, when, at the age of seventeen, he went to sea on a schooner bound for Newfoundland.
This was the first of many flights from reality upon which the bookish Aksel would embark during his life: the next came just a few weeks later on the other side of the Atlantic, where he jumped ship. But, with the world now at war, Nielsen's habit of scribbling secretively in his notebooks late at night in his bunk bed, combined with his strange accent, aroused suspicion in Canada. His workmates began to think he might be a German spy. Once again he fled, this time back to Denmark, via Spain, working to pay his passage on a ship. Read More »

I've always loved this line of Emily Dickinson's: "November always seemed to me the Norway of the year." Where did I first encounter it? Who knows—maybe a kid's book of quotations or a calendar or something else. I know the context was cheerful rather than melancholy, although on a day like this one—gray, rainy, fall shading into winter—it felt apt, in its gnomic way.
What did Norway convey to Dickinson, who had never left New England? A bleaker, more romantic version of the same? A place of Norse legends and epics? Perhaps she'd met Scandinavian immigrants and this informed her remark. But however she intended it, it's so evocative. It was not until very recently that I read the fuller context, from an 1864 letter to her frequent correspondent Elizabeth Holland:
It is also November. The noons are more laconic and the sunsets sterner, and Gibraltar lights make the village foreign. November always seemed to me the Norway of the year. ------ is still with the sister who put her child in an ice nest last Monday forenoon. The redoubtable God! I notice where Death has been introduced, he frequently calls, making it desirable to forestall his advances.
In the same letter, she mentions the recent death of the family's maid, Margaret O'Brien—"I winced at her loss, because I was in the habit of her, and even a new rolling-pin has an embarrassing element, but to all except anguish, the mind soon adjusts." Another friend is ill. And, of course, there would have been the background of the Civil War, felt even from within her home. The letter ends, "Sharper than dying is the death for the dying's sake."
The first English translation of Asbjørnsen and Moe's landmark Popular Tales from the Norse appeared in 1859. It's filled with trolls, enchanted animals, captive princesses held under spells. One of the best known is "East of the Sun, West of the Moon," a Cupid-Psyche story in which a maiden is only allowed to interact with her husband by darkness. Others feature mountain people, envious of those who get to live by daylight. Did it make its way to Amherst? I have never read of it in Dickinson's letters, but perhaps a scholar can tell me otherwise.
Above the Ice

Grief and adventure on the path to the North Pole.
For two weeks in the summer of 2013, I traveled around the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard as part of the Arctic Circle Residency, proceeding up the west coast of the main island, Spitsbergen, and making landfall at tiny settlements and untrammeled beaches at the edge of the known world. At one point, our course took us into a small fjord where we sailed past an abandoned mining town called Blomstrandhalvoya; a research station, Ny-Ålesund, on the opposite shore; and, farther in, two massive glaciers, Kongsvegend and Kronebreen, twin ice masses sliding slowly into the fjord.
The glaciers hug a promontory butte that stands in defiance to these ice sheets, though they are both slowly wearing it away. In a struggle imperceptible to human eyes, the glaciers grind relentlessly against the rock face, carving their inexorable history into its striated face. They could win against this rock, wearing it down over eons into a plain or even a valley, but instead they're ceding the battle, retreating backward. At some point in the future the promontory will be an island, as the glaciers recede and allow water to spill in behind them.
The sound you hear when you put ice cubes into warm (but not hot) water—that subtle but quick crackling—is the sound all around you in the summer fjords near glaciers. There is ice everywhere in the water, the size of your fist and the size of small islands, and because the water is only a few degrees above freezing, the ice cracks slowly, abundantly. It takes a moment to understand what you're hearing, because it's so constant and so low in the air—this soft crackle, like static over a radio.
Next to the noise, there is the wind. Strong, persistent, a wall of bitter blue. Constant: no slack, no gusts, as if from an electric fan. It is utterly cold and utterly fierce. You gaze into the white at the edge of the glacier that gives way slowly to its interior blues, blues of a depth for which there is no word, buffeted by the wind, which streams steadily and directly into you.

The Norwegian-American Literary Festival Comes to New York
May 13, 2014 | by Lorin Stein
For the last two years, a small group of American writers and critics has convened in Oslo for a series of informal lectures, interviews, and discussions. Dubbed the Norwegian-American Literary Festival, this unlikely gathering has introduced packed houses to the likes of Donald Antrim, Elif Batuman, Lydia Davis, Sam Lipsyte, and John Jeremiah Sullivan, and—on the American side—has helped spread word of contemporary Norwegian masters including Karl Ove Knausgaard, Joachim Trier, and Turbonegro.
Now, for one night only, The Paris Review is proud to welcome the Norwegian-American Literary Festival to New York.
On Wednesday, May 28, join us at Chez André in the East Village to hear Claire Messud and James Wood in conversation with the Norwegian novelist Linn Ullmann, followed by rare musical performances by James Wood and John Jeremiah Sullivan. Liquid refreshments will be served.
Admission is free, but space is limited—reserve tickets for you and one guest now by e-mailing us at email@example.com.
Printing Wikipedia, and Other News
April 3, 2014 | by Dan Piepenbring
- Spotted in the Times: our very own Sadie Stein (and her apartment) paying tribute to Laurie Colwin.
- A German publisher wants to print Wikipedia—all 4,484,862 articles of it. The omnibus "would fill a bookcase that's 32 feet long and 8 feet high. But not everyone thinks it's a good idea." I can't imagine why.
- Have we failed to utilize effective incentivizing techniques to promote greater linguistic clarity? In other words, are we losing the war against jargon?
- The photographer Nancy Warner takes wistful pictures of abandoned farmhouses on the Great Plains.
- In 1937, Richard Nixon applied to be a special agent in the FBI. He was not accepted. In a letter of recommendation, the dean of Duke Law School wrote that Nixon was "one of the finest young men, both in character and ability, that I have ever had the opportunity of having in classes."

Completely Without Dignity: An Interview with Karl Ove Knausgaard
December 26, 2013 | by Jesse Barron
All this week, we are bringing you some of your favorite posts from 2013. Happy holidays!
Of the two people who have written books called My Struggle, Karl Ove Knausgaard is the less notorious. In Scandinavia, where the tradition of memoiristic writing is less prevalent and self-exposing than it is in America, he wrote, for three years, twenty pages a day about himself, his friends, his wife, and his kids. When the first of the six books was published, reporters called everyone he'd ever met. It sold half a million copies.
But unlike most literary controversies, this one's less interesting than the work that provoked it. Knausgaard has written one of those books so aesthetically forceful as to be revolutionary. Before, there was no My Struggle; now there is, and things are different. The digressiveness of Sebald or Proust is transposed into direct, unmetaphorical language, pushing the novel almost to the edge of unreadability, where it turns out to be addictive and hypnotic. A man has written a book in which a man stays at home with his kids, and his home life isn't trivialized or diminished but studied and appreciated, resisted and embraced. An almost Christian feeling of spiritual urgency makes even the slowest pages about squeezing lemon on a lobster into a hymn about trying to be good.
Book One ends with that impossible thing: an original metaphor for death. The last sentence of this interview may do the same for writing. Read More »
