Branford Marsalis Quartet to Reissue Coltrane's A Love Supreme: Live in Amsterdam Read more »
Publication: Seattle Weekly Blog
Author: Chris Kornelis
Date: February 15, 2012
Last year, Branford Marsalis told Seattle Weekly about "The Problem With Jazz": why old records sound better than new ones, why the genre feels too much like an exclusive club, and how there's so little good jazz these days that when he hears something good, "it shocks me." The interview went viral, sparking myriad Internet debates.
At the time of our interview, Marsalis was headed to Jazz Alley with his band in support of Songs of Mirth and Melancholy, the phenomenal record he made with his piano player, Joey Calderazzo. The duo have played precious few shows on their own, but one of the few dates they have booked is at the Portland Jazz Festival on Sunday, February 26. And if you want to hear again about his problems with jazz, Marsalis will be interviewed on Saturday the 25th as part of the festival.
Expect both performances to be fiery, and well worth the drive—or Amtrak ride.

- " Terrible smell and a bathroom to give you nightmares. No toilet paper. "
- 20 Mar 2015 Anonymous USA
- " This is one of the worst hostels I have stayed in. It was very cold and the heater was working only for some small time - no possibility to dry anything. The room was very dimly lit. In the first day of our stay there was no toilet paper. The water in the showers was either very hot or very cold - no middle ground. The water pressure was so poor that it was barely coming out. And the funny part - we were told that before we turn on water boiler we should make sure that noone is using hairdryer. "
- 16 Feb 2015 Anonymous Latvia
- " Great locaton for low price, nice staff, very clean room, but my room near the streat is too noisy that I didn't sleep well :-( "
- 29 Jan 2015 Anonymous China
- " Best place for 7 EUR a night. Right in a city center, but out of tourists crowds. The only thing I did not enjoy - was not possible to close window in our room, but it was not such a big problem, as in the room was not that cold and heater worked well. WIFI and shower - worked well. "
- 11 Dec 2014 Daniil Estonia
- " Great location, food all around, easy to train "
- 22 Sep 2014 Anonymous USA
- " Wifi signal is not strong enough. "
- 11 Sep 2014 HAO TING Taiwan
- " Do not book at this hotel. We booked loccanda rocco and we're instead put in another hostel owned by the same people. No air conditioning, our door didn't lock, beds were gross, bathrooms were disgusting. Manager tried telling us that this place was an upgrade from loccanda rocco, but based on the reviews and pictures we saw of that, there's no way that was true. We relocated our last 2 nights to florent which was a studio apartment for basically the same price and was so nice. Do not stay here! "
- 05 Jul 2014 Mary USA
- " Well we booked this hostel but had to check in across the street. Was confusing to get to and hard to find but was in an excellent location. Only one socket in a room of 5 people which was very inconvenient. There was also only two bathroom both of which were small and often had only cold water to shower with. There was a shower and sink in our room but basically it was a see through shower so no one used it. Great cafe down the street could get a good breakfast for €2. "

THE CROWD DRIFTED THROUGH THE giant, aluminum-ribbed tents on a tide of liquor, rose petals, egregiously expensive perfume, and money. Many were old-line Houstonians, and they had come to attend a tenth-anniversary fundraiser for the James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy, a think tank housed in its own Moorish palace on the campus of Rice University. In exchange for the $3.2 million they'd dropped on the institute that night, the 750 guests got to listen to Dick Cheney, the vice president of the United States, deliver a rousing, if recycled, death-to-all-terrorists speech.
The October 17 party was obviously not your ordinary rubber-chicken fundraiser. Cheney's presence transformed it into a sort of socio-military event whose style might be called Republican Imperial. Before the guests could experience the languor of the evening, they had to pass through several acres of security fencing patrolled by armed men with no apparent sense of humor and then a battery of metal detectors. This was not pro forma. Ladies in floor-length taffeta got the full wand probe; men in black tie were patted down. At tables surmounted by huge sprays of roses and flanked by Secret Service agents, guests ate poached lobster, pumpkin bisque, quail, and tenderloin and witnessed testimonials, including a videotaped tribute from Secretary of State Colin Powell, as to the institute's prowess in the worlds of scholarship and government policy. It was a jolly good time.
Though the vice president and his security detail were the featured guests, the real star of the night was the person for whom the institute is named—a man known to his oldest friends as Jimmy, to later friends as Jim, and to official Washington as Mr. Secretary. Cheney was there because of him; the astonishing $65 million the Baker Institute has raised in the past decade, propelling it with phenomenal speed into the upper ranks of American public-policy research, is due largely to what institute people call "the Baker magic." So too is the parade of international political celebrities that passes continually through the institute's doors: Vladimir Putin, Nelson Mandela, Yasir Arafat, Helmut Kohl, and Mikhail Gorbachev, to name a few. At 73, James Baker still casts a large shadow. He is negotiating a peace accord in the Western Sahara and was recently a special presidential envoy to the Republic of Georgia. He is a senior partner at his family's law firm, Baker Botts; a partner at the Carlyle Group, a controversial merchant-banking firm; and a much-sought-after speaker.
More than eleven years after leaving office as Secretary of State, Baker is fulfilling a very old and very local destiny, and the institute is its palpable expression. He is known to the world as one of the most accomplished statesmen in modern American history and one of the ablest political operators of all time. He ran five successive Republican presidential campaigns, won three, and was rewarded with the choicest jobs in politics: chief of staff and Secretary of the Treasury under Ronald Reagan; Secretary of State and chief of staff under George H. W. Bush. But to Houstonians he is known, as he has always been known, simply as a Baker. For the scion of one of the most prominent families in Texas history, that is quite enough. His great-grandfather James Addison Baker co-founded Baker Botts in 1872; his grandfather "Captain" James Addison Baker brought it to national prominence, founded the precursor to Texas Commerce Bank, was the leading Houston businessman of his era, and proved in court that murdered millionaire cotton baron William Marsh Rice's will was forged, thereby saving his bequest—and the eventual Rice University (Captain Baker was the chairman of Rice's board of trustees for fifty years). His father, James Addison Baker Jr., was a leading lawyer and banker in Houston. James III (really the fourth) was raised to be a lawyer and to shun politics. Until he was forty, he stayed in Houston and did what was expected of him. Then he did something that would have horrified the James Addison Bakers who came before him. He went to Washington. And after a long and bewilderingly successful stint there, he finally returned home, to the neighborhood where he grew up and his friends and Baker Botts and Rice—to a comfortable life that looks much like the one that his family had intended for him.
To Houstonians, the meaning of Baker's Odyssean return is clear enough. He is everything that the old, raw-knuckled, oil-and-real-estate boomtown has always wanted to be: smart, sophisticated, urbane, and still able to flat outdo and outhustle the pointy-headed swells from the Northeast. He is, of course, not the only example of this. Houston lawyers like Joe Jamail have been running circles around the Harvard boys for years, and Houston's energy companies rule the world. What makes Baker different is how public his achievement has been; the Houston boy who was nothing at all like the loudmouthed, backslapping Texas pols of Eastern stereotype became a dominant force in American politics. The meaning of his rich, precocious little institute at Rice is that Baker is taking a long ride into the sunset, and Houston is taking it with him.
But if the institute is a measure of the love that exists between Houston and Baker, it is also emblematic of the very schisms within him that caused him to leave in the first place. He is a man deeply, though not unhappily, divided. The genteel, Princeton-educated, upper-class Houstonian who values duty and honor and his family's name is also the preeminent political knife-fighter of his era; the august big-picture-oriented diplomat who helped negotiate the end of the Cold War and the reunification of Germany is also detail-obsessed and hypercompetitive (a friend once described him as being "tough as a two-dollar steak"); the elder statesman who presides over the calculatedly nonpartisan work of the Baker Institute is also the person who led the Republican troops during the bitterly partisan Florida recount following the 2000 election. These contradictions don't usually bother him, and they certainly don't dampen

Over 1,000 volunteers participated in this year's Love Turlock event, according to Planning Team Leader Craig Brooks . More than 60 projects were undertaken on Saturday, including delivering 200 boxes of food to homes of people in need, nursing home visitations, yard clean ups, house painting , trash removal and work for nonprofits, such as Jessica's House, Prodigal Sons and Daughters and the Turlock Gospel Mission.
Come Saturday night thousands of people will make their way to the Stanislaus County Fairgrounds to fete the return of Fava Bean Day. It is a celebration that is truly unique to Turlock alone, because, well it doesn't actually exist.
Water Awareness Month began during California's drought from 1987-1992. It was developed by the State Department of Water Resources and the Association of California Water Agencies to educate the public on the importance of efficient water use and conservation habits.
Congressman Jeff Denham (R – Turlock) is hoping to put residents back to work by hosting a Central Valley Job Fair and Veterans Summit.
Elias Ruiz is a teacher at Dutcher Middle School during the week, but on the weekends he can be found plunging into the Tuolumne River in full scuba gear.
Summer is almost here and so is the arrival of several new additions to the Monte Vista Crossings shopping center.
Name of Business: Perrien Farms
Rather than making headlines for a salmonella outbreak, senior vice president of technical services at Foster Farms and Doctor of Veterinary Medicine Robert O'Connor is making headlines for the complete opposite.
Although the Turlock Certified Farmers' Market has moved to a new location and a new day before its kick-off Saturday, one thing will remain the same: the market itself as a venue of quality produce, unique handcrafted items, and live entertainment.
Star Wars, superheroes and butterflies will all make an appearance at local branches of the Stanislaus County Library in May.
World War II veteran and Pearl Harbor attack survivor Herb Miller was presented a commendation by Stanislaus County Supervisor Terry Withrow for his service to the country during a Veterans Advisory Commission meeting held Monday in Turlock.
Due to declines in gas prices and finance charges, the annual cost to own and operate a vehicle has fallen to $8,698, a nearly two percent drop from last year, according to AAA's 2015 Your Driving Costs study.
With nearly 100 percent of the state considered to be in a severe drought, the California State Board of Food and Agriculture will host a drought forum on Tuesday to both unite and elicit comments from all farmers, ranchers and stakeholders throughout the state.
Fridays are about to get food-friendly downtown with the Kiwanis Club of Turlock's inaugural summer series of food fairs to kick off on May 1.
What does a ballroom dance academy, hair salon and fitness boot camp all have in common? More than just occupying the same building, the trio of businesses are all owned by women.
As high school seniors prepare for graduation and to make their first life decisions as adults, they may seek advice (and financial assistance) from parents, siblings or extended family members. For many foster youth, however, there are no supportive family members able to help them transition from youth to adulthood.
The game is soon to be afoot at the Turlock Historical Society.
For most Californians, the time spent thinking about the importance of the dairy industry throughout the state often equates to less than the amount of time spent pouring milk into a bowl of cereal.
Those living in county areas, or unincorporated communities like Denair or Keyes, will not be exempt from limiting their watering as the Stanislaus County Board of Supervisors passed an urgency ordinance amendment Tuesday evening requiring county residents to reduce their watering to two days a week.
Donning the uniform of the Turlock Fire Department has been a regular routine for Tim Lohman for the past 35 years. Come Aug. 15, Turlock's Fire Chief will put it on for one last time before his retirement from public safety takes effect and his new position in the agricultural sector begins.
An industrial accident at a Turlock cheese plant partially amputated the arm of a man fixing a piece of equipment.
Jessica's House, the center that helps children and families through the grieving process, will host a "Tour of the Heart," an informal information session about the services offered at the Turlock facility.
Although ACE Cash Express is known throughout the community for providing payday loans and cash advances, the business has recently taken action to help out a relatively younger crowd: sixth graders at Osborn Two-Way Immersion Academy.
Approximately 800 community members participated in Turlock's Relay for Life at Pitman High School this past weekend, bringing in a net total of $121,000. Event coordinator Taylor Howard reported that she was very happy with this year's turnout, noting that everyone was happy to be there and participated in all of the activities. This year's fundraising efforts extended past one weekend, as nearly 200 students involved in Turlock High School's Relay for Life Club have also been busy fundraising since July to raise $30,710, according to advisor Kristin Bettencourt.
Stanislaus County employers are looking to grow according to data from the Stanislaus Business Alliance's first annual Local Industry report.
While the Veterans of Foreign Wars will not have their traditional beer booth at the Stanislaus County Fair this year, that doesn't mean they won't have a presence as members of the VFW will be voluntarily pouring beer at the Fair Foundation's beer booth.
Stanislaus County health officials confirmed a dead bird found in Modesto earlier this month tested positive for the West Nile virus, marking the presence of the debilitating disease in the region earlier than the previous year.
A large biomass fire near Tracy has prompted local air officials to issue a health cautionary statement for the northern counties of San Joaquin, Stanislaus and Merced, particularly the communities of Lathrop, Manteca and Modesto. The caution is in place until the fire is extinguished.

Excuses, excuses! No more excuses not to eat birthday cake! We recently perfected our newest soft serve flavor Birthday Cake and it is BLUE! You might ask why we choose this flavor and color combination over a billion other combinations? The answer is simple – we think it's time for a celebration!
Kids perusing an ice cream parlor are drawn to a selection that makes a statement with a bold color and a crazy fun name. We've all been there…red, blue, orange, black, purple, hot pink; they exude fun AND hold the possibility of a color-stained tongue. Don't believe us? Tom Kerber Jr. of Kerber's Dairy in Pennsylvania said, "Most kids…they don't care what flavor the ice cream is…they care what color!" He added, "…Anything that sounds really goofy or fun, they like that!" reported the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Bright colors and creative names don't just attract kids but they are proven to attract the young at heart too. According to Food Business News in May, manufacturers are "keying in on childhood classics, with s'mores, peanut butter and jelly, and birthday cake among featured flavors in new products." Birthday cake's popularity resulted in the introduction of birthday cake-flavored M&M's, Oreos, vodka, and America's favorite Easter chicks – Peeps.
There is no denying that color attracts but when it's in a soft serve machine, flavor variations are equally as important. Plus, let's face it, there is a seasonality to soft serve, and a good survival tactic in the off-season is offering trendy flavors. In response to the "featured flavor" trend, we created flavor packets that can be purchased in packs of 12 and 36 and yield 113 servings per packet. Favorites for fall include, Pumpkin, Kettle Corn and Dulce de Leche. Once the winter holidays set in, Peppermint, Egg Nog and Gingerbread are safe bets and when spring arrives, Matcha Green Tea, Banana Split and Chocolate Lovers fit the bill. At the height of soft serve season, adding flavors such as Valencia Orange, Strawberry Shortcake and Sun-Ripened Raspberry can be a refreshing change. Check out our complete list here.
Although, flavor packets make implementing seasonal flavors quick and easy, Frostline has many recipes for creating your own unique soft serve just by adding one additional ingredient to our soft serve mix. For example, soda varieties like Mountain Dew, Cherry Coke or Dr. Pepper create a taste-tempting teenage delight and for younger kids, adding grape juice or apple cider lures them in! For adults, black coffee easily transforms into "a cone of joe" or a local microbrew will spike up a hopper quickly and tastefully!
Want to try our newest flavor – Birthday Cake? Please leave us a comment on this blog and we will send you a sample. All you need is a soft serve machine and vanilla soft serve mix! The flavor packet is easily added while mixing the soft serve mix with water. Check out our newest mixing video!
Celebrate EVERYDAY with Frostline! For pennies per serving, you can attract families to dine at your restaurant or soft serve shop and keep coming back for more! Especially if you rotate seasonal flavors in between your gold standard vanilla and chocolate!
The dreaded drip n' slip, broken ice cream scoops, arm and wrist scoopers' pain, tension from ice cream balls falling off of the cone, deep dip hip discomfort from leaning into the freezer, and the awful cross contamination of ice cream scoops being dipped in different flavors. The dangers of hard-packed ice cream are evident. We say "Put Down the Scoop" and save people from ice cream related accidents! This is why we are working with "People Against Ice Cream Related Accidents (PAICRA) to promote soft serve ice cream – the safer frozen treat!
In all seriousness, Frostline® Frozen Treats, is celebrating National Soft Serve Day, August 19. We invite operators to join us in a little fun centered on the benefits of serving soft serve ice cream over traditional hard packed ice cream. We created PAICRA, a fictional organization, to shine a light on scoop-related injuries and misfortunes. Utilizing social media, we plan to showcase humorous mishaps that often occur when scooping hard packed ice cream as well as encourage soft serve vendors to share stories or images with us and their followers. Other fun ways to celebrate National Soft Serve Day include hosting tallest swirl contests, offering discounts on soft serve, or highlighting new, unique flavor varieties.
Restaurants, frozen yogurt shops and other businesses who offer soft serve ice cream are encouraged by Frostline® to participate in the August 19 national holiday. We have limited supplies of t-shirts, posters, and product samples to support your efforts. Please leave us a comment on this blog and we will be in touch!

Lock Haven to Washington DC, Monday, 27 August 2012, Day 84
Maryland Bridge[/caption]
Its was dry the next morning and hot but my bike gear was still soaking so the best way to dry this was to wear it and as it was more than 30 degrees centigrade it was dry in no time. Today decided to head straight to Washington DC no detours (well no really big ones) nice ride scenery pleasant lots of small towns with nice houses with porches. I do like houses with porches no idea why but like the idea of sitting in a comfortable chair on porch watching the world go by very appealing.
Did not see any![/caption]
Country turned to stop start city driving but surprisingly unlike other American cities Washington DC has no skyscrapers and very little high-rise seemingly they did not want it to be like Chicago and New York so had rules around the height they wanted to keep that the country feel and vistas which if you are around the Mall area I think they have succeeded.
Found the place I was staying no problem as I had booked something the night before as can be difficult to find cheap digs on the fly in large city. Usual problem in big cities that being parking. They had parking at the hostel but they want too much as usual and all I want is a small space, which they had, loads not a full parking place but it all about the money. So I parked it on the street where there was 2 hour parking whatever that meant usual non understandable signs not for parking. Later I tried to Google and find out about the Parking for Motorcycle in DC found a few addresses which I checked out but no parking in the evening as it was now being used for valet parking and or parking meters for motorcycle that needed topping up every 4 hours so I gave up and decided to risk getting a ticket. Why are these towns so Motorcycle unfriendly they expect a bike to pay the same as a car when they take up hardly any room and if encouraged would solve a lot of the traffic congestion issues. Loads of space to lose bikes but not allowed dumb dumb and dumber me thinks.

the missing factor here is movement control. if i can snag someone between TTs and APOs, and i have crtH3 weapons, they take damage about how npcs do. your pretty on off at that point though, if your inate acc isnt very high you wont do much between hold opertunities. but, what maters is the swiftly gotten kill, not the total scoreboard number.
if you cant control movement, your going to get the most mileage out of lots of acc, up to a point. past about 90% your pretty golden imo. get above that and focus on crit

The 519th Military Police Battalion continues to strike hard!
The War on Terrorism has taxed Viper Soldiers--more than 900 Soldiers have provided necessary military police experience in the Military District of Washington, Cuba, Kosovo, Afghanistan, and Iraq (with many Soldiers conducting multiple deployments). Before, during, and after each tour, Viper Soldiers serve with distinction and keep with the finest traditions of the Military Police Corps. Today, in a rare time in the recent history of the 519th, four of its five companies are home conducting training to prepare for future deployments while one of its companies--the 209th Military Police Company--expands the battalion's heritage in the blistering sands of Iraq. To support the ongoing--and oftentimes relentless--training program devised by the battalion commander, Lieutenant Colonel Bradley W. Graul (with the support of his company commanders), the Vipers capitalized on the unique training opportunities presented at the premier training site for the U.S. Army--the Joint Readiness Training Center.
The multiple rotations of brigade combat teams through the rigors presented at opposing forces training (Geronimo) allow Vipers to hone their warfighting skills and provide consistent support to maneuver brethren preparing to fight the War on Terrorism. Most recently, the battalion shared its experience and keen understanding of the police transition team mission with the Soldiers of the 194th Military Police Company. Recently, Viper Soldiers served as observers/controllers for military police from Fort Campbell, providing them with the "tools to succeed" that served the battalion so well during its deployment to volatile east Baghdad. However, the Vipers do not train to fight the last war; instead, leaders have developed and are conducting pioneering training programs to ensure the success of the battalion in future combat operations.
In August 2007, the 519th Military Police Battalion was selected to receive M1117 Armored Security Vehicles (ASVs). The ASVs provide improved protection and firepower and present the intimidation factor necessary to complete military police security missions. The vehicle, although not new to the Vipers, is novel to many newly arrived battalion Soldiers. In keeping with the Viper standard of excellence, the battalion massed its efforts to thoroughly train, comprehensively evaluate, and formally certify crews on the ASV. Gunnery exercises served as the culminating event to the training, although the concepts and training requirements to conduct gunnery exercises were new to Viper leaders. However, three factors--teamwork, dedication, and Viper pride--enabled battalion Soldiers to build the necessary unit and crew bonds (an absolutely essential building block for future training). Additionally, the battalion instituted a driver training program to ensure the safety, use, and maintenance of the ASV.
In conjunction with sharpening its warfighting abilities, the Vipers consistently polished law enforcement skills to complete the watchwords "Warrior Police." The Viper battalion continues to provide critical law enforcement mission support to the Directorate of Emergency Services (DES). Daily leader and Soldier commitments in support of road patrols and the sections that fall within DES ensure a safe living and working environment for the Soldiers, Family Members, and civilians who work and reside at Fort Polk, Louisiana. The infusion of military police Soldiers has created a balanced team that provides quality law enforcement operations. Although the cornerstone mission of the battalion law-and-order detachment remains law enforcement, the detachment continues to conduct Soldier readiness training in preparation for future deployments. The K9 section has shown its strength through aggressive live-fire training, combat detection operations, and medical evaluation (for Soldier and K9 care). The Vipers have internalized the moniker "Warrior Police" in aggressive preparation for combat and dedicated adherence to policing functions, understanding that both are essential to maintaining the traditions of the military police.
A wise man once said, "You can't figure out where you're going unless you know where you've been." Elemental to Viper progress is understanding, remembering, and honoring the traditions and values of the Military Police Corps. Under Command Sergeant Major John Williamson's guidance and direction, the 519th strives to preserve the military police and Army way of life. Command Sergeant Major Williamson understands that, regardless of the best training in the world, a Soldier needs to realize and internalize the importance of leadership and military police values to be trusted to make life and death decisions every day. To build great military police Soldiers, the Vipers take time to focus on the traditions that demonstrate and make tangible the importance of being a military police Soldier. On 18 September 2007, Command Sergeant Major Williamson hosted a ceremony that highlighted an example of merging history with operations of today. With Regimental Command Sergeant Major Jeffrey Butler as the guest of honor, the Vipers welcomed more than 30 Soldiers, from junior enlisted to noncommissioned officer (NCO) ranks, to an induction ceremony marked with the traditional "crossing the line"--a symbolic step that bears the responsibility and professionalism required of all NCOs. At the ceremony, Command Sergeant Major Butler commented on the importance of and the strength gained from actively remembering the history and traditions of the Corps to yield better Soldiers in the future.
On 26 September 2007, the Viper battalion dedicated time to honoring past and present military police on the Regiment's birthday. Following a moment of silence during a retreat ceremony for the Vipers who lost their lives in support of the War on Terrorism, Lieutenant Colonel Graul remarked on the historical significance of Military Police and the dramatic push for increased forces. Specifically, Lieutenant Colonel Graul emphasized how the sacrifices of our fallen Soldiers should inspire and strengthen the resolve of today's Soldiers as we move into the seventh year of the War on Terrorism. The military police Soldier in the Viper battalion is a strong professional who understands the long legacy of the Military Police Corps and stands ready to fight our Nation's battles today and tomorrow.
The hallmark watchwords of the Viper battalion are present in the vision statement of the Military Police Corps Regiment:
The Military Police Corps provides values-based Soldiers and units that are highly trained, versatile, and multifunctional. These Soldiers and units will provide the Army with flexible firepower, innovative leadership, and critical situational understanding.
The leaders of the 519th Military Police Battalion strive every day to live this vision. The progressive training, dedication to law enforcement and its intricacies, and reverence for military police history and traditions build an outstanding Viper team. Additionally, the Vipers focus on building complete family teams within its ranks. In this present time of multiple deployments, the strength of family is paramount to the success of the Soldier. Recently, the Viper battalion welcomed a family readiness support adviser. Her recommendations, coupled with Lieutenant Colonel Graul's guidance, have flourished to build outstanding family programs and support within the battalion. To date, the Vipers have hosted a "Shadow Day" in which families were able to spend a day with their Viper Soldier and learn the basics of being a member of the Viper battalion. The event culminated with a barbeque and numerous smiles. In keeping with the initiative to build Viper family teams, the battalion hosted an "Order of the Crossed Pistols" event in which Viper spouses competed to earn a crossed-pistols brooch or key chain by demonstrating knowledge of Viper skills and completing practical exercises. The unique family-oriented event allowed Soldiers to include their spouses in a uniquely military police, hands-on experience, thus strengthening the Viper concept of team.
Our current chief of the Military Police Corps Regiment, Brigadier General David Quantock, has focused his vision for the Military Police Corps on eight "big rocks." The Vipers of the 519th Military Police Battalion carry all of those rocks in their rucksacks. The battalion has strived to build a multifunctional, progressive Viper team that is fully capable of bringing the fight to the enemy. Through aggressive training, the maintenance of our unique military police law enforcement functions, the understanding that history and tradition are building blocks for future success, and the construction of strong family teams, the Vipers continue to be the Force of Choice for the Military Police Corps.

Tatas have asked Centre not to charge profit sharing as a separate tax
Sharp differences over the proposed 26 per cent profit-sharing by mining companies with local population in the draft Mining Bill came to the fore on Friday when Coal Minister Sriprakash Jaiswal rebutted Steel Minister Virbhadra Singh's plea to exempt public sector undertakings from the ambit of the proposed law.
Speaking at the Coal Summit here, Mr. Jaiswal said he strongly believed that PSUs and private players should get a level playing field under the profit-sharing regime.
The Coal Minister, speaking in contrast to Mr. Singh, said there is no proposal before the GoM to give concessions to PSUs in this regard. Differences also emerged among PSUs with Coal India chief Partha S. Bhattacharyya supporting the proposed policy initiative while Steel Authority of India Chairman C. S. Verma had sought exemption from this regime whenever it was implemented.
Mr. Singh had spoken about giving special concession to the PSUs stating they deserve differential treatment, as they have been continuously committed to fulfilling their social responsibility obligation.The Tatas have also criticised the proposal and asked the government not to charge 'profit-sharing' as a separate tax, saying that social obligation is part of the operating cost of the company. The proposal has been termed discriminatory by Jindal Steel and Power, which is led by industrialist-turned Congress MP Naveen Jindal. The firm has termed the proposed 26 per profit-sharing as too high.

Requiem for a Dream
An Israeli nightmare about rootlessness leads to financial ruin
It all began with a dream. A lot of troubles in my life begin with a dream. And in this dream I was at a train station in a strange city, behind a hot dog stand. A horde of impatient passengers were huddling around it. They were all jumpy, impatient. I couldn't understand them. They were dying for a hot dog, they were afraid of missing the train. They were barking orders at me in a strange language that sounded like a scary blend of German and Japanese. I answered them in the same strange, nerve-wracking language. They tried to make me go faster, and I did my best to keep up. My shirt was so splattered with mustard and relish and sauerkraut that the few places where you can still see the white look like spots. I tried to concentrate on the buns but I couldn't help noticing the angry mob. They looked at me with the ravenous eyes of predators. The orders in the incomprehensible language seemed more and more menacing. My hands started shaking. Beads of salty sweat dripped from my forehead onto the thick hot dogs. And then I woke up.
The first time I had that dream was five years ago. In the middle of the night, when I got out of bed, covered in perspiration, I made do with a glass of iced tea and watched an episode of The Wire. It's not that I'd never had a bad dream before, but when I saw this one start to make itself at home in my unconscious, I knew I had a problem, one that even the winning combination of iced tea and Officer Jimmy McNulty couldn't solve.
My best friend Uzi, a well-known dream-and-hot dog buff, worked out its meaning in no time. "You're a second generation Holocaust survivor," he said. "Your parents were forced to leave their country, their home, their natural social environment overnight. That unsettling experience filtered down from your parents' unsettled consciousness to yours, which was unsettled to begin with. On top of which there's the unstable reality of our lives in the Middle East. Stir it all up and what do you get? A dream that includes all of those fears: of being uprooted, of arriving in a strange, alien place, of being forced to work at something unfamiliar or unsuitable. You've got it all."
"That makes sense," I told Uzi. "But what do I do to make sure that that nightmare doesn't come back—see a psychologist?"
"That won't do you any good," he interrupted. "What's the therapist going to tell you? That your parents weren't actually persecuted by Nazis, that there's no chance of Israel being destroyed, leaving you a refugee? That even with your lousy coordination you can do a good job selling hot dogs? What you need isn't a bunch of lies from a Ph.D. in clinical psych. You need a real solution: a nest-egg in a foreign bank account. Everybody's doing it. I just read in the paper that foreign accounts, foreign passports, and four wheel drives are the three official trends this summer."
"And that will work?" I asked.
"Like a charm," Uzi promised. "It'll help the dream and the reality. It's not going to keep you from becoming a refugee or anything, but at least you'll be a refugee with a bundle. The kind who even if he winds up with a hot dog stand at a train station in Japa-Germany has enough cash to hire another refugee with even lousier luck to stand there and stuff the sauerkraut."
Taking advantage of refugees wasn't an idea that appealed to me at first, but after a few more nocturnal visits to the hot dog stand I decided to go for it. On the Internet, I managed to find a nice website of an Australian bank, with a promotional video that showed not only breathtaking landscapes but a smiling teller, who looked like Julia Roberts's even-nicer sister and urged me to deposit my money with them.
Uzi nixed the idea straight away. "Ten years from now Australia won't even be there. If the hole in the ozone layer doesn't get to them, the Chinese takeover will. It's a sure thing. My cousin works in the Mossad, Pacific Division. Go for Europe. Any place except Russia and Switzerland."
"What's the problem there?"
"The Russian economy is unstable," Uzi explained, taking a big bite of falafel. "And the Swiss… I dunno. I don't like them. They're kind of cold, if you know what I mean."
Eventually I found a nice bank in the Channel Islands. Truth is that before I started looking for a bank I didn't even know there were islands in the Channel. And it may well be that even in the worst-case scenario of a world war, the bad guys who'll conquer the world won't realize there are islands there either, and that even under global occupation, my bank will stay free. The guy at the bank who agreed to take my money was named Jeffrey but he insisted that I call him Jeff. A year later he was replaced by someone named John or Joe and then there was a very nice new guy named Jack. All of them were pleasant and polite and when they talked about my stocks and bonds and their secure future they made sure to use the present perfect tense correctly, something that Uzi and I never managed to do. Which only reassured me even more.
All around me, squabbles in the Middle East were growing more aggressive. Hezbollah's Grad missiles were hitting Haifa, and Hamas rockets were thrashing buildings in Ashdod. But despite the deafening explosions, I slept like a baby. And it wasn't that I didn't have any dreams, but what I dreamt about was the pastoral setting of a bank, surrounded by water, and Jeffrey or John or Jack taking me there in a gondola. The view from the gondola was dazzling, and flying fish swam along with us, singing to me in a human voice that sounded a bit like Dido's about the splendor and beauty of my investment portfolio, which was growing by the minute. According to Uzi's Excel charts, it had grown to the point where I could open at least two hot dog stands or, if I preferred, one roofed kiosk.
And then came October 2008, and the fish in my dream stopped singing. After the market crashed, I called Jason, who had replaced the last J on the list, and asked him if he thought I ought to sell. He said I'd do better to wait. I don't remember just how he said it, except that he too, like all the J's before him, made very correct use of the present perfect. Two weeks later, my money was worth another 30 percent less. In my dreams, the bank still looked the same, but the gondola had begun capsizing and the flying fish, which didn't look the least bit friendly anymore, started talking to me in the same familiar Japo-German dialect. Even if I'd wanted to, I couldn't have bribed them with a good hot dog. Uzi's Excel charts left no doubt that I hadn't enough money left for a stand. I kept phoning the bank. In our first few conversations, Jason sounded optimistic. Then he began getting defensive, and from a certain point on, simply indifferent. When I asked him if he was looking at my investments and trying to do something to salvage what was left of them, he explained the bank's policy: proactive management began with portfolios of one million dollars and up. I knew then we'd never again take a gondola trip together.
"Look at the bright side," Uzi said, and pointed at the picture of a friendly looking man in the newspaper's financial supplement. "At least you didn't invest your money with Madoff." As for Uzi, he made it through the crisis unscathed; he gambled all his money on wheat crops in India or weapons in Angola or vaccines in China. Before that conversation, I'd never heard of Madoff, but now I know all about Bernie and Ruth. Looking back, apart from the bit about the rip-off, we have a lot in common: two restless Jews who love to make up stories and have been sailing along for years in a gondola with a hole in the bottom. Did he too, once, years ago, dream he was selling hot dogs at the train station? Maybe he also had some true friend, like Uzi, who never stopped giving bum advice?
The guy on the news just announced a state of alert in the middle of the country and that there were roadblocks on some of the highways. There are rumors about a soldier being abducted. On my way home I bought two bottles of green tea and stopped at the video store to pick up the first few episodes of the last season of The Wire. Just to be on the safe side.

|Employability skills and students' self-perceived competence for careers in hospitality industry
|Ogbeide, Godwin-Charles A., 1969-
|University of Missouri--Columbia
|This descriptive correlational study employs employability skills instrument to assess the self-perceived level of competence at performing some basic skills needed for careers in the hospitality industry. A total of Eighty five (85) HRM students participated in this study. Sixty seven (67) surveys were usable and provided a usable response rate of 78.82%. The result of the study indicated that the respondents (HRM seniors from University of Missouri-Columbia) have developed between moderate and major competence to serve as productive employees in the workplace "equally from program and non-program." In terms of curriculum improvement, the result of this study indicated that the respondents are doing fine with problem solving skills. However, curriculum improvement is needed to include materials that would improve the students' knowledge and understanding of the political implications of their decisions and interpersonal skills or human relation skills.

The Mamasapano, Maguindanao operation of the Philippine National Police Special Action Force (PNP-SAF) last January 24-25, ended tragically. The PNP confirmed that the principal target, international terrorist Zulkifli Abdhir alias ''Marwan'' was killed. However, 44 members of the PNP SAF were also killed when they were ambushed as their units exfiltrated from the area.
Questions have since then arose in relation to the operation which until now has not been answered by the Aquino administration and have become grist to the mill of political speculators and operators in Manila and elsewhere.
Who actually ordered the specific operation "Exodus" in Barangay Tukanalipao, Mamasapano, Maguindanao? Was there a specific order both to the backup troops of the SAF, the Philippine Army's 6th Division and other land and air assets not to render rescue or support to the beleaguered SAF units in Tunalipao? Was it true that US special forces and the FBI were allegedly involved in the operation?

Peace in jeopardyBy Ramon Casiple | Parallaxis – Fri, Jan 30, 2015
It was early morning January 25, 2015. An elite unit of the Philippine National Police Special Action Forces (PNP-SAF) successfully raided four huts in the swamps of Tukanalipao, Mamasapano, Maguindanao, killing its alleged occupant, Zulkifli Abdhir alias "Marwan," who the police said is a leading member of the Jemaah islamiyah central committee. These elements of the SAF 84th "Seaborne" battalion then extricated from the area, with the 55th company of the 5th Special Action Battalion as the covering force.Read More »from Peace in jeopardy
They expected hostile reaction from rebel elements in the area, especially from the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom fighters (BIFF), a split organization from the main Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF). The BIFF is still in state of war with the Philippine government. MILF had just signed a Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro (CAB) and had a long-standing ceasefire with the government.
The withdrawing troops were enfiladed by a prepared BIFF formation and an exchange of fire
A transition to historyBy Ramon Casiple | Parallaxis – Tue, Dec 30, 2014
As 2014 closes its curtains, so it ushers in the last quarter of the administration of Benigno Aquino III.
Beginning in 2015, the rules will be different compared to the first three quarters where it soared aloft on wings of promises of change and reform and expectations were rather high. Now, the reality of performance and legacy will begin to be critically measured and history is poised to make its own verdict.Read More »from A transition to history
The second Aquino administration may well be remembered for its anti-corruption campaign, its anti-poverty campaign, its efforts to develop the economy, its efforts to end the internal conflicts, its efforts to promote human rights, its efforts to address disasters, and its efforts to defend the national territory and modernize the armed forces.
Thus far, it has made major progress in all of these.
He has jailed big names in the anti-corruption campaign and steadily raised the country's ranking in the Transparency International Index on Global Corruption. He also instituted zero
Traffic horror: How it's taking away Christmas cheerBy Ramon Casiple | Parallaxis – Tue, Dec 16, 2014
9 days before Christmas, the talk in Metro Manila was not about gifts and parties; it was about the horrendous traffic wherever somebody wants to go, including giving gifts and parties. Indeed, the question of the metropolitan traffic jam is threatening to affect not just the commuters, but also the economy, social life, and even political decisions by voters and politicians alike.Read More »from Traffic horror: How it's taking away Christmas cheer
The simple truth is that too many cars and other vehicles are on the road, the mass transport system is antiquated and incapable of mass transport, and that there are too many bureaucratic fingers in the traffic pie. The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) simply does not have enough authority to address the problem. Local governments in the National Capital Region (NCR) do not have the grace to give way to a single authority in order to rationalize traffic handling. The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) and its attendant agencies, the Land Transportation and Franchising

Where are the leaders of the people?By Ramon Casiple | Parallaxis – Sun, Dec 7, 2014
There were times in our history when the people took the nation's fate into their hands and decisively pointed it to a future they aspire for. These were times when the nation was in grave peril and it seemed nothing can prevent the rise of tyranny and oppression. These were the times when the people led the leaders and told them to do the right thing.Read More »from Where are the leaders of the people?
Thus, we celebrate the Philippine revolution of 1898, the struggle for independence against the American colonialism, the fight against the Japanese aggression, and the people's resistance against the Marcos dictatorship. However, in all these major and critical periods of our nation's history, the eventual leaders failed to realize the visions and the imperatives of the people's struggles.
While we revere the memories and acts of Bonifacio, Rizal and the heroes of the Philippine Revolution, yet at the end, those who were left surrendered the fight or turned balimbings and acted as US colonialist puppets. They acceded to American
Judging the judgeBy Ramon Casiple | Parallaxis – Tue, Nov 25, 2014
Two tragedies in the past days highlighted the state of the judicial system during the past days.
One was the March 18, 1996 Ozone Disco Club fire tragedy in which the Sandiganbayan Sandiganbayan Fifth Division convicted seven Quezon City officials and two stockholders for violation of Republic Act No. 3019, or the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act. The other was the November 23, 2009 Maguindanao massacre which just had its fifth anniversary.Read More »from Judging the judge
162 young graduates and their friends died in the Ozone Disco Club when it rapidly caught fire and people were prevented from exiting due to inward-opening doors. The evident errors in the construction and violations of the National Building Code led to the 2001 filing of the case of violation of the anti-graft and anti-corruption law. Previously, the owner and the treasurer of the club were found guilty in a 2001 Quezon Regional Trial Court decision of "reckless imprudence resulting in multiple homicide and multiple serious injuries."

Where are the Philippine rich in politics?By Ramon Casiple | Parallaxis – Mon, Nov 17, 2014
Politicians are invariably silent about their financiers during election period. However, it is a given that money politics plays a central part in any electoral strategy. A few, with popularity and enough political base, may win without much money. It is therefore instrumental to know who may be the financiers in any election contest. For want of a better term, we call them the "Philippine rich".
Election funds may come from the following sources: a candidate's own family or clan, the business sector, the incumbent's earnings from corruption, the illegal sources such as drug money, jueteng money and even kidnapping for ransom and bank robberies, and, if rumors are true, foreign governments and business. Contributions from the voting constituency rarely figure in the traditional electoral strategy.
Many political families and clans are also members of the economic elite. Some of them are the traditional dynastic elites who have, over a period of time, accumulated wealth and economicRead More »from Where are the Philippine rich in politics?
Where are the poor?By Ramon Casiple | Parallaxis – Tue, Nov 11, 2014
Politicians invariably cite the poor in their electoral spiels. Invariably, too, they speak of the poor as their constituency, their reason for running is to liberate the poor from poverty, and that they are God's gift to the poor. It will be no different this coming 2016 elections.Read More »from Where are the poor?
But, who are the poor? If the official government statistics are to be the basis, these are the 25.2% of Filipinos who earn less than $1 a day in 2012. This is one of four persons living in the country or more than 25 million people. If self-rated poverty indicator (by the Social Weather Stations) is used, there are 55% of Filipinos who considered themselves poor. This is a bit more than half of the population.
The poor, according to government statistics, spend almost 80% of their income on basic necessities such as food, home rental, utilities, and transportation. They make do with the rest on spending for education, health, leisure and personal care. They do not pay income taxes but pay taxes nonetheless
How politics affected PH's Yolanda recoveryBy Ramon Casiple | Parallaxis – Wed, Nov 5, 2014
President Benigno Aquino III signed the Yolanda Comprehensive Rehabilitation and Recovery Plan (CRRP) last October 29, 2014, a year after the super typhoon battered central Philippines. The president approved ₱167,864,788,553 of the ₱170.7 billion submitted by Secretary Panfilo Lacson.Read More »from How politics affected PH's Yolanda recovery
The approval came after much haggling, bureaucratic infighting, and public and media pressure. The 18,400 projects listed in the CRRP came from submissions of local government units in the 171 affected cities and municipalities in 14 provinces and 6 regions in central Philippines.
This is an impressive amount, and rightly so. However, is it comparable to the "national master plan" envisaged to be necessary for climate adaptation, disaster mitigation, and sustainable development? The answer, unfortunately, is no.
Typhoon Yolanda represents what scientists have called the "new normal" in our country's typhoon experience, as part of the impact of the global warming trend globally. At least once a year, there

By LIM TEIK HUAT
SHAH ALAM: Youngster Gavin Kyle Green brought his fine run to a fitting end with a final round of four-under 68 to become the first local golfer in 15 years to win the Malaysian Amateur Open at Glenmarie Golf and Country Club.
Despite having just returned from the US and managing only a single practice session, Gavin produced a stunning second round of seven-under 65 to take over the leaderboard from Australian Oliver Goss.
He followed this with another steady round of 69 to take a three-stroke lead into the final day.
Gavin, battling fatigue, carded six birdies against two bogeys yesterday to seal the biggest win of his amateur career by six strokes.
His tournament total of 14-under 274 made him the first Malaysian winner since R. Nachimuthu back in 1997.
It was a fitting celebration of sorts for organisers Malaysian Golf Association as this was the 110th edition of the tournament.
One of the oldest amateur events in the world, top players like Michael Campbell, Mardan Mamat and Thongchai Jaidee are among the illustrious former winners.
And 19-year-old Gavin showed he may well be the future of Malaysian golf if he can build on this success.
Gavin, who is doing business studies at the New Mexico University, plays in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) championships.
"I always want to do well for my country. It has been a long time since a Malaysian won so this is awesome. It certainly is my biggest win to date," said Gavin, who attributed his improved mental strength for his performance.
"I can now block things off and not put pressure on myself. My short game was also really good all week.
"I'm going to try and keep it up for the next tournament," said Gavin, who will be playing in the MPI Saujana Amateur Open at Saujana Golf and Country Club this week.
Poom Saksansin, who won the individual title in the 2010 Putra Cup and is currently the top amateur in Thailand, took second place with a one-under 71, six strokes behind Gavin.
"Gavin was on fire so I knew he wasn't going to fall back," he said.
"I was trying to catch up but ran out of holes. He deserves the win. I'm sure we will meet again in other events."
Jordan Irawan of Indonesia surged up the leaderboard to finish third after carding a 69 for a 283 total.
The 125-strong field featured players from 17 countries.
