Germany dismantles injury, red card-struck Portugal 4-0; Group G open for business
Jun 16, 2014, 1:59 PM EDT
Short of Cristiano Ronaldo quitting or losing a limb, Portugal's 2014 World Cup opener could've hardly gone any worse than its 4-0 loss to Germany.
The Germans ran roughshod over Portugal to open the match, building a 2-0 lead before Pepe decided to make it even easier for them by headbutting Thomas Muller after the German embellished contact from the Portuguese defender.
The dismissal will give Pepe a night off against the United States on Sunday. It was a solid player losing his mind on a massive stage, and it was a stunner.
"Drawing" the headbutt from Pepe was far from Muller's only work in the match, as the forward secured a hat trick with a 78th minute goal to make it 4-0 to the Germans. The prohibitive favorite of Group G, the Germans were clinical and workmanlike.
They dismantled Portugal. It wasn't close. Here's what we were saying at halftime.
12′ – Mario Gotze was dragged down in the box by Joao Pereira, who is given the yellow card. More importantly, it's a penalty kick for Thomas Muller and, well, he's good. Low, hard and to the right of the keeper. 1-0, Germany.
30′ – The culprit from the PK, Pereira, bails out Bruno Alves by deflecting Gotze's shot out for a corner but the relief is short-lived. Toni Kroos sends in a beaut that Mats Hummels rises to head past Rui Patricio. 2-0, tallest team in World Cup.
45′+1 – Bruno Alves' weak clearance attempt falls to Muller's feet, and the German forward does what he does in the World Cup: he scores. 3-0.
RELATED: Down 3-0 at halftime, reports say Cristiano Ronaldo swapped shirts with Sami Khedira?!?
Muller capped his hat trick with a tap-in goal that gives him eight World Cup goals at the age of 24.
Making things worse for the Portuguese was a scary-looking injury to standout back Fabio Coentrao. If he's unable to play on Sunday, that would be two world-class defenders who would miss the US match. Attacker Hugo Almeida also left the game in the first half with an injury.
Germany lost a defender, too, in goal-scoring Mats Hummels. The States face Germany on the group's final day.
RELATED: Ronaldo's form concerning for Portugal
Ronaldo was a shadow of his great self, looking frustrated and chirping at the referees (admittedly, he had a point from time-to-time. Eder could've had a late penalty).
Portugal: Patricio, Alves, Pepe, Veloso (Costa, 46′), Coentrao (A. Almeida, 65′), Ronaldo, Moutinho, H. Almeida (Eder, 27′), Meireles, Nani, Pereira.
Germany: Neuer, Howedes, Hummels (Mustafi, 72′), Khedira, Ozil (Schurrle, 61′), Muller (Podolski, 81′), Lahm, Mertesacker, Kroos, Gotze, Boateng
Goals: Muller 3 (12′, 45+1′, 78′), Hummels (30′)

Wow. Pepe, the smiling psychopath. What a mental midget.

Damn shame Portugal wasn't awarded a penalty after being down 4-0. I would have loved to see that selfish prick of a leader they have put one away to make 4-1 and then rip his shirt off and run around the pitch. Would have been priceless, just like when he did it in the CL final in a game that was already over and he'd been invisible in for 120 minutes.

It'll be great...if it ever stops raining.
Well, of course nobody's going to talk. Why? Because if the thugs find out it was you, THEY'LL KILL YOU.
When somebody calls the cops for anything, the first thing they ask is "what's your name." Nobody's going to give them their name, because somehow, it seems to get back to the thugs who called. I don't know why the cops expect the public to cooperate with that going on.
Wow. Summer hasn't even started yet. This is going to be a bad year for this so it seems.
I'm sure they mean DRYER fire, but of course, they won't hire a real proofreader.
In Texas it is already...
We're so tired of crime down here. Crime, and party animals who attract and cause nothing but trouble.
Go out to a club if you want loud music and crowds. Don't do this at home, kids.
Just leave the hot dog guy alone when this one opens up.
It's a sad fact - Western Massachusetts has so much potential, yet is still dead end. It's really great to try to encourage job growth, so many people are out of work. That's on reason so many people are leaving. They're following the jobs. But if new companies start up here, and try to attract employees, they might have a problem keeping them because people need to do more than work. There's really nothing to do here, other than that. Except for Northampton, Western MA is a cultural void. So many people here are either closed minded and provincial, or ghetto. Sad but true.
I think it should be exhibited in the Museum of Fine Art, instead of the library. It's fine art. It belongs in the art museum.
I'm glad to see they've resolved this in favour of the hot dog guy. Although I winder just how much the closure of Cousino's fancy schmancy salmonella pit had to do with it...
Insurance companies should be brought up on class action charges of racketeering and extortion. Criminals in suits and ties. Just like their filthy buddies, Big Pharma. They're no better than the crack dealers on the street. Those guys are at least more honest about what they're selling, unlike squeeky clean pharmaceutical reps, who are doing exactly the same thing. All in it together, and who loses? We do.
Some people just never learn.
This so called "legislation" attempting to fine gang members is lame BS comparable to "Tactical Walking" and "Quality of life flex squad.".
Really, who comes up with this bogus nonsense anyway?
I can hear the gangstas laughing all the way down the street over the proposed fines. All they need to do to pay them(if they decide to take them seriously at all) is sell more crack, or rob more people.
And they know there's such a shortage of public defenders here that even if they do get arrested for something, all they need do is wait it out, and they'll be going home, because if there's no lawyer to represent them, they'll walk. Crap and more crap.
Good work, Councilors. Bla, bla, bla. We need action, not hot air.
I don't ask for favours from imaginary friends. Loved ones have died. Car crashes have happened to people I know. Things happen to everyone. There's no celestial CEO, it's just life. I open xmas presents that people have given to me, and I thank them for the gift, but no one is under any obligation to give me anything for a holiday I personally don't celebrate. I don't give xmas presents. I give seasonal presents. I don't send xmas cards either. And to that "How dare you" person, I find it offensive that you refer to this god that you believe in as exclusively male. By referring to your supreme being as male, you've inherently offended every female out there. If there were any such thing as a deity of any sort, why would it need any sort of gender identity? especially one that excludes half the human population? Right. Good luck with that. Take your Mr goddie man and have a nice day. Happy Solstice to you.
There's no proof either way that any gods do or do not exist.
Any and all religious belief is a product of human invention, simple as that.
There are some fervant xtians around here, who I find to be woefully ignorant. Even so called educated folks , who've gone to good schools still seem to exhibit such backward ideas, and don't recognise the obvious fact that there's no proof either way concerning the exisitance of gods. It's strictly subjective.
My opinion on such is that they are sheeple. It's no accident that the xtian religion refers to the followers as sheep and flocks. Sheep are pretty stupid, and go wherever they're led without thinking about it.
Keep your jebus to yourself, and save your hallelujias. Don't pray for me, I don't want that "stuff"you're selling.
Thank you for discussing temperature, not just "Will it be sunny? Will it rain?"
I don't really care if the sun is out or not. I want to know what the temperatures will be.
This is Palmer we're talking about here.
Would anyone be surprised if the place gets torched in the middle of the night?
I'm against casino gambling. Do we really need more Mob presence here? I think not. Natives, schmatives, the Mob always seems to get it's dirty fingers into the pie somehow.
No, we aren't reflexive. Some of us see an "R" on the ballot, and think, "Romney". What an awful memory that is, too. "R" for is for Republican = Rich people, Right Wing freaks, Remove Reproductive Rights and Retro- thinking.
Tevoro 2000 for Mayor.
You get my vote.

Nvidia driver thinks BeleniX OpenSolaris distribution is Solaris 10!
I am seeing this weird issue. I have integrated the nvidia driver into BeleniX
0.5 which is essentially OpenSolaris Build 48. The nvidia console framebuffer device fails to initialize with the following warnings:
WARNING: terminal_emulator: VIS_CONS_REV 2 (see sys/visual_io.h) of console fb driver not supported
WARNING: consconfig: terminal emulator failed to initialize
Now Solaris 10 use the VIS_CONS_REV or 2 while OpenSolaris specifies it as 3. Since the same binary driver is designed to work on both Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris (Solaris Express) it seems that the nvidia driver thinks BeleniX (OpenSolaris build 48) to be Solaris 10!
I am using the version: 1.0-8774
Is there any reason why this is so ? I had tried an earlier version of the driver on an earlier build of OpenSolaris (BeleniX) with no problems.
Re: Nvidia driver thinks BeleniX OpenSolaris distribution is Solaris 10!
Do you also see this with the 1.0-9625 BETA driver?
Re: Nvidia driver thinks BeleniX OpenSolaris distribution is Solaris 10!
Well it's working now. I did several things:
* Updated to the recent source release for OpenSolaris build 49
* Removed a couple of unneeded Makefile.master changes I was applying in my workspace
* Updated to the latest 1.0-9625 BETA driver
I tested it on a GeForce 6600 (256 MB VRAM) and Xorg 6.9. I could see glxgears giving around 3K FPS in small window mode and 260-300 FPS full screen at 1280x1024 res.
I was also able to use the new Composite effects in Xfce4.4 (Beta) like window shadow, transparency and panel highlight without any performance issues.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.—The New Mexico State track and field team wrapped up its two-day competition in the Cherry and Silver Invite in Albuquerque, N.M., on Saturday Jan. 25.
Senior Alishia Perkins competed in the 60-meter dash, where she finished with a time of 7.81. Junior Jenna Banegas also competed and finished with a time of 7.95.
Perkins competed in the 200-meter dash as well, where she finished 20th in a field of 93 runners with a time of 24.75. Freshman Paige Patterson finished 36th with a time of 25.30.
In the 400-meter dash, Patterson finished 12th, with a time of 56.97, which moves her to fourth all-time in the Aggie record books.
Sophomore Latrice Brooks finished with a time of 1:37.29 in the 600-meter run. Her time was good for 14th in a field of 32 runners.
The Aggies also competed in the one mile run, where junior Diana Hawk finished 14th in a field of 50 runners with a time of 5:09.74.
Senior Sarabel Bojorquez and junior Megan McNally competed in the 3000-meter run and finished 13th and 14th respectively. Bojorquez finished with a time of 11:02.55 and McNally finished with a time of 11:09.43.
Patterson, Perkins, Brooks and freshman Katara Nelson ran for NM State in the 4x400-meter relay. The team finished ninth with a time of 3:50.12. The time moves the group into seventh all-time for the Aggies.
The Aggies also put two other teams to run the 4x400-meter relay. One team consisted of sophomores Cherish Morrison and Kelsi Gonzalez, senior Deserae Cota and freshman Shaniece Prevot. The final team consisted of sophomores Ashley Hall and Leah Englehart, freshman Savannah Coleman and junior Rebecca Schoeny.
Another freshman that performed well for the Aggies was Akuadasou Ezenyilimba in the 20-pound weight throw, where she had a distance of 14.71m (48'3"). She also competed in the shot put and threw a distance of 9.73m (31'11.25").
"Akuadasou (Ezenyilimba) improved by about two-feet in the 20-pound weight throw," assistant coach Larry Carmichael said. "This is an event that they don't do in high school so it's good to see this sort of improvement early on."
Senior Zoe Meade took part in several different events including the shot put, where she had a distance 11.91m (39'1"). She also competed in the 200-meter dash where she finished with a time of 25.44.
"This gave us a good idea of what we need to work on, but it was good overall," head coach Orin Richburg said. "Again, we just need to go back and work on some things, but this gave us a good indication because we were competing against some girls that will be in the national championship picture at the end of the season."
The Aggies are back in action on Jan. 31-Feb. 1, in the Masked Rider Invitational in Lubbock, Texas.

Complications during treatment of 146 patients 239 episodes of acute respiratory failure were studied over a 4-year period. All the patients had previous chronic respiratory insufficiency. Acute necrotizing pneumonia, the hyperventilation alkalosis syndrome, acute myocardial infarction, and cardiac arrhythmias were the commonest fatal complications. Eighteen patients had necrotizing pneumonia; 4 had pneumonia and pulmonary edema; 12 had hyperventilation alkalosis; 8 had errors of airway management; 12 had myocardial infarctions; 11 had ventricular arrhythmias; and 7 others had vascular catastrophies. Frequent sterilization of equipment, aseptic techniques for handling equipment used in airways, and regular bacteriological cultures from equipment were important to decrease nosocomial infections. Frequent careful monitoring of ventilation prevented the alkalosis syndrome. Maintaining good oxygenation and normal hydrogen ion levels in arterial blood reduced the frequency of arrhythmias. Thus, survival of patients can be improved by the prevention or early and effective treatment of complications that cause their premature death.

DIY Sunscreen
06 Aug 14
Now that summer is in full swing in many parts of the world, we bring you some natural solutions to protect your precious skin from the sun's harmful rays.
Good natural filters include wheat germ and sesame oils, which filter around 55% of UV rays, olive and coconut oils (25%) and grapeseed and castor oils (19%). Wheat germ oil can also help get rid of sunspots from the face and and reddening.
Recipe for DIY Sunscreen:
1 tablespoon beeswax or emulsifying wax
1/4 cup coconut, almond, wheat germ or sesame oil
5 teaspoons pure zinc oxide
1/2 glass water or 1 glass green tea
3 tablespoons aloe vera gel
Optional: 10 drops of extract of grapefruit seed, coconut or vanilla or essential oil for fragrance. Avoid citrus oils as they can cause burning.
Heat the wax over a double boiler until it melts, then remove from the heat, add the oil and transfer to a bowl. Add the zinc oxide powder, taking care not to inhale it. Heat the water or green tea together with the aloe vera separately, then add them to the wax mixture, stirring vigorously. Add any extracts or essential oils for fragrance, if using. The cream should be stored somewhere cool and dry.
Despite taking precautions, if you end up getting burnt, here are some "grandmother's remedies" to sooth burnt skin:
Among the best known products is shea butter. If used in the evening, with the addition of a drop of essential lavender oil, this refreshing product can reduce skin redness.
To make a simple anti-redness emulsion, mix 50 grams of extra-virgin olive oil with 50 grams of lemon juice. Every time it's needed, just shake the container and then sprinkle the mixture on the skin.
Finally, lettuce leaves have surprising anti-inflammatory properties, as does chamomile, which facilitates the skin's metabolism, contributing to the regeneration of the dermis. Just prepare an infusion and apply it with cold compresses. True lavender, tea tree and eucalyptus can also soothe inflammation and encourage the regeneration of damaged tissue.

IGNITE Fellowship Program Description
The IGNITE Fellowship for Women of Color in the Social Sector is a nine-month leadership development program for mid-career women of color leaders in nonprofit organizations across the United States.
The program offers Fellows exposure to best practices, processes for building personal and organizational leadership, and opportunities to build and strengthen core management capacities.
In keeping with the mission of the People of Color Leadership Network, the program is located in a social sector context and approached from an appreciative stance – valuing and uplifting the assets each Fellow brings. Furthermore, Fellows have the space to explore facets of their own identity while examining the intersection of identity and leadership.
Program Sponsorship
The IGNITE Fellowship is made possible in part through generous support from American Express. One of American Express' three platforms for its philanthropy is Developing New Leaders for Tomorrow. Under this giving initiative, which recognizes the significance of strong leadership in the nonprofit sector, American Express is making grants focused on training high potential emerging leaders to tackle important issues in the 21st century. Learn more here
RCLA: IGNITE Fellowship 2013
The Experience
IGNITE Fellows can expect to engage in action-oriented, peer-to-peer and experiential learning sessions that leverage both theory and practice to foster:
- Self Mastery through Reflective Practice: Fellows will acquire the disciplined practice of reflection required to ground leadership in their values while discovering unique strengths, challenges, preferences and tendencies.
- Knowledge of Practical Leadership Frameworks: Fellows will explore new approaches and practical steps to set direction, facilitate alignment, foster commitment and achieve results in a changing environment.
- Senior Management Competencies: Fellows will work to increase their organization's impact by enhancing core managerial skills such as coaching/supervision; branding; and fundraising/board development.
- Powerful Professional Networks: Fellows will develop strategies for strengthening and amplifying their professional networks while cultivating new relationships within the fellowship cohort.
Kick-off Institute
The nine-month IGNITE fellowship begins with a five-day leadership institute designed to expose fellows to the work of leading-edge social sector organizations, foster connectivity among the fellowship cohort, offer a restorative space for fellows to build leadership capacity, and set the stage for future learning sessions over the course of the fellowship. The Institute draws on the best of New York City as a dynamic hub for nonprofit innovation and also offers a space for reflection and rejuvenation.
The institute runs from Thursday, August 1 through Tuesday, August 6, 2013, and all applicants must attend the full institute to participate in the fellowship. It begins with convenings in New York City, followed by a four-day intensive program at the newly renovated Hyatt Regency Greenwich in Old Greenwich, CT.
Fellowship Program
Over nine months from August 2013 through April 2014, fellows will participate in ongoing peer mentoring, coaching and webinars to work toward personal and professional leadership goals with the support of cohort members and fellowship managers.
The curriculum is designed to deepen Fellows' leadership practice, provide support as they advance, and equip them with management competencies that enhance the effectiveness of their organizations.

This Falls selection of books is sure to inspire provoking conversation. If you would like to suggest a book for your peers, organizations, academic colleges or departments to be hosted in future semesters please email email@example.com.
Emerging Young Leaders Program
The Emerging Young Leaders is a program designed to enhance the scholarship, personal growth, and social engagement of Freshman & Sophomore FAU students. The program is a semester long initiative that will consist of a calendar of opportunities that will engage students in positive campus and community involvement, which is critical for effective leadership.
When followed by the Certified Student Leader program, these two programs work to show growth in leadership as a student by first completing the Emerging Young Leaders (EYL) program as a freshman or sophomore and then completing the Certified Student Leader (CSL) program as an upperclassmen or a graduate student. As a result of completing the CSL program you will receive a notation on your official transcript as a "Certified Student Leader" showing you, graduate/professional schools and prospective employers the value you put on leadership.
Completion of the Emergent Young Leaders program awards students with a certificate of completion, and automatically qualifies you as eligible for the Certified Student Leader program.
Certified Student Leader Program
The Certified Student Leader program is a co-curricular certification available to students at the Florida Atlantic University interested in enhancing their leadership knowledge, application, and skills through a variety of leadership opportunities.
These opportunities may be tailored to students own interests, many of which are offered over the course of the academic year. This program must be completed in one academic year. Students can start the certificate program at the beginning of every semester (during the first six weeks). This is an ideal opportunity for students to learn about leadership while allowing for the flexibility to accommodate their busy lives and schedules.
Students who complete the program and are in good academic standing will receive a Certificate and will have the certification noted on their co-curricular transcript.

St. Louis Air: Still Polluted, But Showing Improvement
Categories: Life, Health, and ... Death
|Ah, another beautiful St. Louis summer day.
You know there's a "but" coming.
But as anyone who's ever been outside on one of our hazy July days can tell you, there are those times when our pollution problem is right before your eyes. The metro area received a C grade in both our number of high ozone days and in our number of problem 24-hour particle pollution periods.
For real-time tracking of our air quality, you can't do much better than the St. Louis Visual Air Pollution Camera, the Missouri Department of Natural Resources website that shows you exactly where we stand each day. If you're interested in comparative air quality measurement, check out the Midwest Haze Cam, which tracks particle pollution and ozone levels in St. Louis, Chicago, St. Paul and Cincinnati, among others.

While waiting for a flight at Paris' Charles de Gaulle Airport on Saturday, Rhys Meyers allegedly punched an employee at an airport bar because he was refused any more booze. After being cut off by his waiter, Rhys Meyers got into an argument with the bar's manager and took a swing at another employee who intervened in the scuffle. He was placed in police custody for several hours and will have to appear at a tribunal to answer to the charges against him, which include assault and issuing death threats. Yikes.
The talented Tudors actor was arrested for public intoxication in 2007 and entered rehab that year to deal with his issues. Sadly, it looks like it might be time for rehab stint #2. [Source: People; Photo: FilmMagic]

Bowing to pressure from the governor, the Utah State Board of Regents has rescinded pay hikes it awarded last month to college and university presidents in an effort to bring compensation in line with their out-of-state peers.
Gov. Gary Herbert last week asked regents to wait until Regents complete a comprehensive survey of presidential salaries to decide on increases, while some legislative leaders castigated the pay hikes.
Regents chairman David Jordan promptly gathered the board for a special meeting Monday. Without discussion, regents unanimously agreed to suspend the $100,000 in pay hikes they approved on Sept. 16 for the eight campus leaders, who Jordan has said are poorly paid relative to national averages. Most of the raises this year would have been diverted to scholarship funds because many of the presidents were not inclined to take pay hikes while their colleagues' salaries remain frozen and their campuses slash budgets.
The proposed presidential pay hikes aren't designed to reward sitting presidents, but to ensure Utah schools can compete for national-caliber administrative talent, according to Jordan. Regents say they are competing with other states and Utah's low pay scale puts them at a disadvantage in recruiting campus leaders, particularly for the state's two big research institutions. A search is now under way to find a successor to Michael Young as University of Utah president.

Schools have evolved in the United States over time from "restricted access for some" to "you must go" while increasing provisions for those that are in need, and offering a menu of activities in participatory culture. The problem is that, despite the participatory feeling of these additions, schools lack in their efforts to prompt a … Continue reading
In a democracy, public education should promote models and policies for schools that provide students direct, personal experience with democratic ideals of choice, equality, freedom, and shared power. As much as we want to "teach content" and "cover curriculum," we can't drop out of the sky into students' pre-exisitng communities and the midst of their … Continue reading

Jacob Lefton learned the blacksmith's trade in Europe. Restless, he'd left a low-paying job teaching gymnastics in Massachussetts* to travel to Ukraine for an annual blacksmith's festival. Then he worked his way across the continent, honing his craft in various shops. In Europe, blacksmiths will take on and train journeymen in exchange for room and board. It's taken more seriously as a profession than it is in the United States, where smithing tends to be seen as an idle pastime of retired engineers, or something confined to re-enactment villages.
The journeyman's life would have suited Lefton, but he had something drawing him back home: student-loan debt. So in 2010, having returned stateside, he started his own blacksmith shop. "If I didn't have loans to pay, I probably wouldn't have started a business," he admits. His federal loans are now in hardship deferment—he has one more year to build up his business before he has to start paying them back.
In short, Lefton became an entrepreneur out of necessity. And he's not alone. With unemployment at 8.1 percent, and nearly half that number jobless for more than six months, the temptation to hire yourself when no one will hire you has rarely been stronger.
Read through advice on starting a small business, and you'll find that the path has been lined with caution tape. Never start a small business just because you have no other options, experts counsel. This wisdom is generally offered with a nod to the number of new businesses that fail: three in 10 within two years, and the majority after five, according to the Small Business Administration. If you already have a steady job, those figures make a compelling argument for starting your business as a side project until you're confident it will actually take off. But for those with no good options, what is there to lose?
Between 2008 and 2009, the number of Americans gaining employment from starting a small business doubled to nearly one in 10. Recognizing the trend, the Small Business Administration has set up resource pages for those trying to start small businesses while saddled with student debt or while unemployed. Those making the leap include laid-off professionals opting for consulting work, serial entrepreneurs, and young creative types like Lefton who simply don't consider themselves cut out for 9-to-5 jobs. He and I went to the same liberal arts college in Massachusetts, a place where students have no grades and design their own majors. There he cultivated three sets of skills: fiction writing, circus performance, and metal-working. Of the three, the latter was the only one he could imagine offering a steady income.

The Garden Produce Project
Wednesday, October 14th, 2009 | Connecting the Dots | 2 Comments
Our garden is done for the year, except for a few pumpkins that refused to turn orange (our plan is to spray paint them in glitter and go all Martha Stewart on their asses). The productive harvest is in the house. Tonight we ate soup made with the beans we grew (the shelling kind, not green beans) which was unfortunately not very good, though the beans themselves were delicious. Two ham hocks=too salty for one soup. (Good biscuits tho!)
And we made a chocolate zucchini cake and invented/adapted a recipe for Apple Zucchini Oatmeal Muffins which turned out quite tasty. And now I will make another zucchini cake, and another dozen muffins, for the freezer.
And there will still be a couple of giant zukes and a basket of apples to go. I cannot imagine what life with a real garden would involve. Canning. Jams. Sauces. I did make pesto, but I just put it in the fridge.
I can't believe summer's gone. I can't believe it will be all snow and mittens soon. In past years, i've been pretty proud of our rugged ski it, skate on it and make it your own philosophy, but I'm having some trouble putting my heart into it this time around. Still, it's coming. Might as well try to be zen.
Patience, and Wagon Rides
Friday, October 2nd, 2009 | Connecting the Dots | 2 Comments
I am slowly but surely becoming a better person, and will no doubt achieve that flawless maternal perfection epitomized by, say, Dooce in time to work it on my great-great-grandchildren. I recently managed to go from being late all the time to at least much better (and wrote about it for Parenting–look, that glam mom in the accompanying picture is me! Really!).
This month (season? year? decade?) the project is: Patience.
The expert coach for the moment is Rory. Because she needs patience. Brusk snapping hurts her feelings, and her feelings have a right to be tender. Worse, because she can't handle getting brushed off, or yelled at because she's asked for me to, say, pick her up when I'm carrying four grocery bags, three lunch boxes, a backpack and a vase of flowers, she has a tendency to collapse into the tantrummy shrieks that are her version of just being crushed and overloaded at very inconvenient moments.
So, I want to be better for Rory. And I don't want her to implode on me in the parking lot of the nursery school. Plenty of incentive for improvement, both selfish and un. I have been forced to get more patient–and I have found that everybody wins! All kids are happier–and so am I.
I thought venting was good for me. I think I kind of thought I liked it. And I'm still prone to say things like, of course you can have another cup, sweetheart, because even though I've already poured your milk into the red cup I want you to be happy, and because I LOVE doing more dishes! Love it! Bring 'em on! In a very good-natured, happy way that occasionally involves slamming cups on the counter so hard that they break. (Lily still says, Mommy, when I'm grown up, please don't come to my house and dirty all the clothes and rub crumbs into the carpet.)
Oops–venting. Back to the patience. Which I genuinely have more of–turns out you don't really use it up, because the more you practice it, the easier it is. I have been trying, so hard, to take the proverbial deep breath (I like blinking three times) to see if maybe I can find it in myself to answer nicely, to ask the child to put it's shoes on for the fifth time in a calmer way. To make even those moments when I am truly saying, listen, honey, if you don't put your shoes on I really am going to put you in the car without them, and then you will have to ride in the cart at the grocery store the whole time, and that has happened before and you don't like it, calmer moments. For all of us.
And I know it's better, because this morning when I had to dig hats, mittens and warner coats out of the basement for everyone right in the middle of the tight morning schedule (because look, it's fall and it's COLD! Surprise! man, if this happened every year it would be easier to plan for), and Lily didn't want gloves she wanted MITTENS, and I HAD two matching gloves for Wyatt and lost one one the stairs and then he wanted mittens TOO and well…
I only yelled a little. And I got them gloves. And we were on time. Except that I forgot the lunch boxes, and had to go back for them after drop-off (I forgot them, not them, remember, these are the little kids, Sam would have just had to suffer). And I still didn't yell. Much. At them.
As for those wagon rides? At school, in twenty minutes. Parent attendance "optional." Which I tried to take them up on, but judging from the reaction I got we have different definitions of the word "optional." But I am going to go and be happy, because, well, I'd rather be happy. I'm choosing to accept my lot and ride in the bumpy, chilly, hay-filled trailer behind the pooping horses with a pleasant smile. No, really. Promise.
One Angry Cowboy-hatted Dude
Thursday, August 27th, 2009 | Connecting the Dots | 1 Comment
No consideration, he shouts, nodding to his friends. A little quiet, please, kids. Quiet! Thye don't even apologize. His gaze fixes on me. Aren't you even going to apologize? You're not going to say you're sorry?
I'd really only just tuned in to him. He was sitting at a table at the Boloco we'd just eaten at, with three other moms and 5 other kids, outside, looking at the little town square our kids had been tearing round. I recognized him–Lily and Wyatt had cut him off, earlier, racing across on some mission, and I had apologized, although probably a little perfunctorily. Frankly, I'm tired, and I'm not really at my public best just now. That was about forty-five minutes before this encounter, and the kids had been racing around the square, not quietly, the whole time.
Truly, I don't know if their behavior was atrocious. I'm usually pretty sensitive. And I had stopped them, several times, and finally persuaded them to stop running right in front of people and to either walk or stick to the grass. Beyond that–other than the shrill group shout that had greeted the news that we were adjourning to someone's house and prompted the complaint about the noise–I hadn't really thought about it. We were outside, in the middle of the day…I don't know. It hadn't been that long or bad a morning, but it had been a whole morning, and I finally had a couple of adults to talk to.
I just looked at him. Wyatt was asking me something, and Lily pestering my other side, and there he was, angry, glaring. Aren't you going to apologize? And I just couldn't deal.
Nope. I shook my head and said it. Nope.
And then I asked Wyatt to throw his cup away, and he did, and we left.
And that was that, except that it's still bothering me. I'm tough about public behavior–maybe I lapsed. We were with a group of friends, in a very familiar place, and there was a game going on that I didn't like, but one of the other mothers had started it, and it was funny, that was making them run across the square. One the one hand, I didn't get angry, or defend them, or shout or curse at the guy–all things I might easily have done. On the other, I do wish I'd just…apologized. No skin off my nose, after all. I'm sorry my kids disturbed your lunch, I could have said. And that would have been that. That would have been the answer that turneth away wrath, the accepting, absorbing thing to do, and probably the thing that would have enabled me to just let it go. I don't want them to disturb anyone. I suspect their behavior was on the borderline, and I don't really want that, either.
So I feel bad that my kids weren't good citizens today, and that I barely noticed, and that I didn't just deflect the anger directed at all of us. I didn't do too badly, I guess. I didn't absorb it and turn it back, which would have been so easy to do. So, a day of semi-spiritual growth. Sort of.
When it is hot, be hot.
Wednesday, May 13th, 2009 | Adopting Devils | 1 Comment
To decide to have a child is to decide to allow your heart to go walking around outside your body.
Wyatt's TMO teachers presented us with that sentiment on Mother's day, as their idea of a festive mother's day apparently involves making one cry (they also offer handprints, and that poem about how the handprint won't be this small for long—oh, and checkbook covers, which I quite appreciate.)
Let me just say that the decision to adopt a child—now that, that is popping a chunk of your heart out and sending it tossing around in the Pacific in a Pepsi bottle.
I posted a few days ago about control, and not having it, and oh, that's ok, I'm all right with that, I said, merrily. It's fine.
Right. Just dandy. I am perfectly ok with not being in control, which is probably why I dream, alternatively, about the two most obvious things that are out of my control, at the moment—a job I've applied for, and going to China. Or about leaving kids somewhere, or failing to meet a deadline…everything short of naked arrival in math class the day of the final, really. Apparently I am anxious.
There are many, many things in life I cannot control. Other drivers. Airplane pilots. Acts of nature. Whether or not, say, Julia Glass has also applied for the writing gig I want. (My favorite friend said today, in response to that, that I am much funnier than Julia Glass, to which I say, why, thank you, my ego swelleth, but the job still goes to the Pulitzer winner) China. Interest rates, the price of eggs, virus mutations.
Buddhist principles suggest that the problem with those things is neither the things, nor my inability to control the things—it's my attachment to the things, or their outcomes. If I can release that attachment to outcomes, I will also release my anxiety. Christian philosophy places the "things one cannot change" in the hands of God, politely capitalized. Jews, I believe, put things one cannot change in the category of things one does not yet understand, with the idea that one should have faith that in time, all things will become clear. It strikes me now, as it has before, that these are mostly matters of semantics, of applying different words and possibly different mental techniques to what is essentially the same question: How can I not feel so bad when I am afraid?
There is a reason, I think, that we say that we "practice" religion. We also "practice" meditation, and yoga. I propose that one thing these things have in common is that we will never get them right. If you aspire to behave like a historical figure who's acquired the status of myth for his legendary kindness—oh, plus miracles—it's not like one day you'll be able to say oh, well, ok then, now I can move on to mastering chess. We never achieve enlightenment, and all things never become clear. We just….practice.
I would like to say that today I could use less practice. Which is just another way of saying that we may or may not be able to go get Rory in June, or July, or August…
And so I turn to my garden, which I note is another common suggestion in many religious practices. Cultivate your garden. The idea being, I suppose, that here you can impose some measure of control, just to lighten up after all that practice. The Parent Association at Sam's school (apparently NOT the Parent-Teacher Association, now that I come to think of it) has a deal with the farm where we get our plants anyway—the ones you can't grow from seed here, like tomatoes and peppers—and one must fill out the form, to request one's plants, which one then goes and chooses—just as I would have chosen them last year, only with, I suppose, the addition of the form. A level of bureaucracy has been imposed on the process to permit the transference of some of the funds to Sam's school. An advantage, for me, is the introduction of a requirement that I actually consider how many plants I want, as opposed to last year's plan, which featured a wagon and three children who really, really like tomatoes. I think that, provided I also subtract the children from this part of the process, this will be a good thing and result in fewer tomatoes at the end of the season, which will mean I will not feel obligated to dry them, and then not use them, because I cannot figure out 1)whether I dried them safely or 2) how to use them. They are still in my cabinet, though, do I get points for that?
Tomorrow I plan to lay the mulch, add the compost and get ready. Sam and Lily—and maybe even Wyatt—can put in at least some seeds this weekend. It's a little early, but I'm feeling good about frost.
That's a piece of Buddhist advice, btw. A koan, even, because in its entirety, it's a mysterious response to a question about dealing with discomfort, but one of those things I think we understand better the less we think about it. Hmmm…The less we think about it. I think I'm onto something, there.
Anyway–I'm ready to take that particular advice. When it is hot, I will be hot.

Engineering Administration - Administrative Structural engineering guide book
When you have read and understood this chapter, you should be able to answer
the following learning objectives:
Describe the engineering department
. Explain the use of directives in Navy
Describe the engineering department watch
Organization is the orderly arrangement of
materials and personnel by functions. Sound
organization is a requisite for good shipboard
A shipboard organization is designed to carry out
the objectives of its command. It is based on the
assignment of responsibilities and authority to
individuals within the organization. It includes essential
functions, specific responsibilities of organizational
units, and their duties, responsibilities, and authority.
Standard Organization and Regulations of the U.S.
OPNAVINST 3120.32B, prescribes the
administration organization for all Navy ships.
U.S. Navy Regulations, 1990,
assign the
commanding officer (CO) the responsibility to organize
the officers and crew of a ship. The executive officer
(XO) is responsible for the organization of the
command as a whole. The heads of departments assign
individuals to stations and duties within their
The requirements for battle form the basis for the
organization of combat ships and, as appropriate, for
noncombat ships. Key officers head functional groups,
such as those shown in
figure 1-1,
that make up the
battle organization of such ships. The officers man
specified stations and control the activities of personnel
under their direction. Functional group control adds
flexibility to the battle organization. That flexibility
increases the organizations effectiveness when the ship
executes the plan for battle or variations made
necessary by the tactical situation.
The CO is head of the battle organization. He
exercises command control and engages the enemy to
the best of his ability. The following officers help the
CO in his tasks: the navigator, operations officer,
weapons officer (or first lieutenant), engineer officer,
damage control assistant, air officer (aircraft carriers),
and the combat cargo officer (amphibious operations).
Each of these officers controls one or more of the major
control functions of the ship in battle. Those functions
(fig. 1-1)
include ship control, operations control,
weapons control, engineering control, damage control,
air base control, and debarkation control. When
embarked, the air group commander is responsible to
the commanding officer in matters affecting the air
groups readiness.
In many departments, the division of personnel
(fig. 1-2)
is similar to that in the shipboard battle
organization. However, to meet the requirements of
sound organization principles, the administrative
organization structure must allow for certain functions
that have no place in battle. Day-to-day routines
emphasize training and maintenance, and certain
support measures are necessary for administrative
reasons. The five basic departments found in all ships
are the navigation department, operations department,
weapons department (deck department in some ships),
engineering department, and supply department. An
officer may head more than one department in ships that
do not have enough officers to go around.

Surprise, surprise! The House Commerce Committee has found a way to recommend that a percentage of state sales tax be siphoned off for use in building a desperately needed new baseball stadium, as so adroitly explained in Ray Hartmann's "Commentary" (RFT, March 15) and by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch in a recent small article on page 3. Maybe this effort, yet another in a series of "trickle-up" theories, could also help keep our city from folding. The generous and understanding people of St. Louis could surely "do it one more time!" We're on a roll.
Hey, wait a minute -- don't excess tax dollars belong back in the pockets of the people? Maybe the Cardinals could try for tax-increment financing. How about raffle tickets or selling bricks, seats or patches of turf? Let's help keep that money flowing upward. Maybe I could volunteer to help sweep those parking garages or sell hotdogs and beer.
If the state returned these apparently not-needed millions to the people, gamblers would have more to lose at Missouri casinos, and the long-promised result would be statewide Triple A Schools, decently paid teachers and updated facilities.
Guess it's all a matter of priorities, and so far sports seem to have a louder voice than academics. Corporate welfare is just the newest way to facilitate greed by reaching into the pockets of people for whom the price of a baseball or football game can be darned prohibitive.

Jill Posey-Smith has once again cast a disparaging shadow on St. Louis dining, this time targeting the beloved outdoor dining in University City and, in particular, Brandt's Market and Cafe ("In the Outdoors," RFT, March 15). Posey-Smith does not seem to appreciate the purpose of sidewalk dining, the enjoyment of great weather, food and drinks amidst the bustle of city life. A great majority of students, dog owners, locals and others flock to Delmar to experience the diversity and charm of the U. City Loop.
I am a previous employee and frequent patron of Brandt's. I do not agree with Posey-Smith's "critique" of Brandt's, the Loop or St. Louis dining. Brandt's offers a great menu of healthy and creative dishes, a terrific wine and beer selection and a choice of an outdoor-dining experience or cozy interior seating. The crowds who visit Brandt's for the excellent musical performances, great food and atmosphere belie Posey-Smith's criticisms.
As a concierge at St. Louis' premier luxury hotel, I regularly recommend Brandt's Market and Cafe to my discerning guests. I get nothing but rave reviews about the food, music and local flair from all my guests.

Let's see, your first cut ("Short Cuts," RFT, Feb. 23) is a six-year-old rehash concerning the "real" cost of the Trans World Dome. Of course, there's no hint in your hash about the economic impact the dome has had, will have and may have if a Super Bowl heads our way.
Next, a two-week-old upchuck of an unusually newsy Berger bit. Nice job. Your typical column is simply a plagiarization of Berger's spent butts. You're getting there.
Ah, finally, something new? Nope. You did, however, manage to add an even more negative spin to Dan O'Neill's uncharacteristically bitter story.
By the way, I think I'd use my initials too, if my name was "Dumb Jerk-off." Keep up the, uh, work.

I was so saddened to hear about the St. Marcus Church closing what has been one of the most important venues for diverse voices in America, the St. Marcus Theatre. I travel and perform all over the country. I have often spoken in public about how it is places like the St. Marcus Theatre and the companies that work there like Joan Lipkin's That Uppity Theatre Company and Scott Miller's New Line Theatre that are really keeping American culture humming with risk-taking and truth-speaking. Our nation is much lessened by the unfortunate decision of the St. Marcus congregation.

While I could not agree more that Jim Hammond's story is heartbreaking ("Pot Luck," RFT, Feb. 23), there are a couple of points about medicinal use of marijuana that should really be addressed in more detail.
First, there are a multitude of effective and legal treatment alternatives that make it somewhat silly to be pursuing an illegal treatment. I personally know quite a number of practitioners (chiropractors, alternative medical professionals, medical doctors specializing in pain treatment, healers of various faiths and so on) who could certainly provide a measure of relief for Mr. Hammond without resorting to illegal drugs. Now, if it is just a case that Mr. Hammond and others like him would rather not pay for help, or lack insurance for treatment, I can understand how one might find raising marijuana in one's basement to be a cost-effective alternative.
Unfortunately, this leads to the second, and perhaps more important, consideration. Marijuana is far more damaging in the long run than the illness it purports to alleviate. All drugs, to greater or lesser degree, leave traces in the fatty tissues of the body that do not get flushed out. These drug traces can stay in the body, locked in fat cells, for years. While the drugs are locked in the body, they burn up vitamins and minerals, causing a continuous drain on the body's resources.

Teens sound off at Youth Speaks forum held at Evander Childs High School
Bronx teens had a lot to say at the eighth annual Youth Speaks Day held at Evander Childs High School.
This year's topic was "Real Talk," and the teens spoke about topics like bullying and racism.
"I think it's very important that we can talk about this because kids usually can't express their feelings, so they usually keep it bottled in," says eighth-grader Sasha Lopez.

The owners of the Ricoh Arena say they have no intention of forcing Coventry to complete this season's home fixtures elsewhere.
City are making contingency plans for an alternative venue after a subsidiary company of the club which held the lease for the stadium was placed in administration on Thursday.
Arena Coventry Limited (ACL), who manage the Ricoh Arena, want the League One club's entire operation placed in administration amid claims of £1.3m in unpaid rent.
The High Court will rule on that request on Tuesday, but in the meantime ACL say their wish is for Coventry to stay put.
A statement read: "The board wishes to reiterate that there is no truth whatsoever in suggestions reported by some media that ACL will prevent CCFC from playing at the Ricoh Arena.
"The whole point of the course of legal action that the board has taken is to ensure that a successful and sustainable Sky Blues team is able to play at the Ricoh Arena for many years to come."
Coventry, for their part, hope a compromise can be reached on the rent arrears which will allow them to stay at the Ricoh.
A club statement read: "All we've ever asked for is an affordable rent with access to matchday revenues, like any other club. We hope these will be offered to us by ACL.
"ACL told the court they would be prepared to assist their proposed administrator 'with a partial (or possibly full) deferral' of the stadium rent and licence fee during the administration process.
"To reach an agreement with ACL to allow the club to move back and fulfil its fixtures at the Ricoh Arena, we would hope and expect ACL would extend the same terms to the club."
Coventry face a 10-point deduction and, realistically, the end of their play-off hopes if Tuesday's court hearing goes against them.

Kiernan Shipka's life must be pretty awesome. At the age of 12, she's just wrapped her fifth season playing Sally Draper on the record-busting Mad Men, and has a department store-size closet of haute couture which she gets to wear to glitzy Hollywood balls. She's done more than most adults, but her parents still won't let her watch her own series. "I'm not allowed to watch the show, apart from my own scenes," she told Grazia Magazine. "I'll start watching it when I'm older. I'll have a lot of DVD marathons." So what does she do with the time the rest of us spend endlessly watching the Draper family on Netflix Instant? Develop her killer style sense! Just check out the glam photos from her Grazia shoot. "I am a huge fashion fan. It's a really cool way to express yourself. I'm always excited to get to set and see what I'm wearing," she says. She has guest-blogged for Lucky, and cites Papo D'Anjo and Ralph Lauren among her favorite brands. "My style is constantly changing. At the moment I look preppy, but with an edge."
She looked less edgy and more classy as she strolled the red carpet last night at the PaleyFest's 2012 tribute to Mad Men in Beverly Hills. There she was reunited with her TV parents Jon Hamm and January Jones, along with fellow cast mates John Slattery, Vincent Kartheiser and Robert Morse. Show creator Matthew Weiner was also on hand, and spoke about where he sees the series going, and eventually ending. "I think the plan is for [Mad Men to run for] seven years," he told the press panel. "Seven years sounds like the right amount. My whole thing is, I don't want to overstay our welcome. And it's really hard." He cited The Sopranos as an example of what not to do with a series. "I was with The Sopranos the last three seasons of the show, and what happens is you just start running into the places where you've been over and over again and it just becomes impossible." How he's gonna paint himself out of season four's cliffhanger is anybody's guess. Is it March 25 yet!?

How are things "rough all over" in chapter 7 of The Outsiders?
1 Answer | Add Yours
As Cherry Valance pointed out to Ponyboy earlier in the novel, "things are rough all over" and continue to be so in chapter seven. Ponyboy, Sodapop, and Darry all worry over the possibility of the younger brothers being put in a boys' home, and all of the gang frets over Johnny's worsening condition in the hospital. Meanwhile, the Socs have their own set of concerns to handle, mostly stemming from the tragedy of Bob's death. Bob's best friend, Randy, confides in Ponyboy that he no longer believes that fighting does any good. He mourns the loss of his best friend and has come to realize that the outcome of the rumble has little power to change the greasers' social circumstances. All of the characters, whether greaser or Soc, struggle with the seriousness of the recent events: Bob's death, Johnny's accident, and the upcoming rumble.

Safe house seen as jail for kids
By Kathleen Carmody
Centacare in South Australia has rejected a safe house proposal to detain children found roaming the streets of Port Augusta at night because it could be interpreted as a child jail.
Groups of up to 30 juveniles, some as young as five, roam the streets of Port Augusta until the early hours of the morning.
The mainly Aboriginal gangs have been blamed for vandalism and property damage.
The proposed safe house behind the police station would offer food and accommodation; children would be held until a social worker had evaluated their living arrangements.
Centacare South Australias director, Dale West, claims, however, that proposing to collect people on the basis of age and time of day and locking them away is an arrest circumstance.
If youre locking a child up and calling it a safe house youre still locking them up, he said.
I dont know what characteristics a safe house would have that would make it different from a childs jail.
Mr West agreed that children should have to bear the consequences if they broke the law causing damage to property, for instance but the safe house option could lead to children being locked up on the basis of their age and time of day, regardless of whether they had committed a crime.
Rather than offering a solution, it would cause further problems and lead to a situation where some children were locked up every night.
If a 12-year-old is locked up overnight, he said, what happens when they release him? If the parents are unable to control him hell be back there the next night.
A preventative solution was needed instead which could involve working with the parents to develop better skills in dealing with their children.
The safe house proposal is a Port Augusta Council initiative and has received qualified support in the community.
Some Aboriginal representatives, however, have likened it to a detention centre.
While the safe house option is on hold, the SA Government has agreed to fund a youth mentoring program in the area under which a senior person in the community would assist wayward children; and youth workers patrolling streets at night would encourage them to return home, but not detain or hold them.

A Yorkshire Terrier's tail can be docked at any age but is often done when puppies are only days old. Older puppies or adult Yorkies can still get them docked as long as they can find a licensed veterinarian that will handle the procedure. Though docked tails remain a breed standard according to some clubs (including the AKC) in the U.S., there are other clubs that have changed this to only allowing natural tails, especially those in countries such as Belgium, German, and Switzerland where the procedure is illegal.
Most non-surgical tail docking is done within the first few days of a puppy's life. The nerve endings have not fully formed yet and so the amount of pain experienced by the dog is minimal. As the puppy grows, they gain pain receptors in the tail and the likelihood of them experiencing extreme discomfort during the docking process heightens.
Methods of tail docking
There are two procedures used to dock a puppy's tail. The first involves cutting off circulation to the top portion of the tail until the lack of blood flow causes it to "die" and fall off. This process is done within within two or three days after a puppy is born. The other procedure involves the surgical removal of the top portion of the tail and must be performed by a veterinarian. If done within the first week of a puppy's life, little to no anaesthesia needs to be used. If they are older, the procedure will be more painful and they must be fully anesthetised.
Anaesthesia requirements
Anaesthesia can be dangerous when used on puppies. Too much of it can make them seriously ill or even cause their death. If a Yorkie is not taken in for a surgical docking procedure when they are only a few days old, it is recommended by veterinarians and breeders that they not be taken in until after at least ten weeks. This gives them time to grow and become healthy and strong enough to handle the use of anaesthetic.
When Yorkies were first bred, they were used to hunt rodents and other animals that live in tunnels. Docking their tails kept them from getting injured or broken in tight spaces. Over time, these dogs stopped being used as hunters and served more as companion animals. Docking their tails, while a breed standard of the AKC and other kennel clubs, became a cosmetic enhancement only.

La Futura
by ZZ Top
Released: Sep 2012
Label: American Recordings
Produced by Rick Rubin, La Futura opens with the best tune ZZ has unleashed since the D.O.R. remix of "Give It Up." Balancing the blues' no-frills earthiness and pop's adherence to novelty at all costs, "I Gotsa Get Paid" is a filthy-groove reworking of the Houston rap classic "25 Lighters" (an ode to slinging crack, of all things). The album doesn't contain another cut that's nearly as radical, yet there are several more fun jams, including the slowed-down "Tush" riffer "Consumption," a song that could be about sex or booze or drugs, or even capitalism itself when you get right down to it.

The Macau government reiterates that its cancellation of Viva Macau's sub-concession agreement and air operator's certificate (AOC) complies with the island's laws.
The Macau Civil Aviation Authority (AACM) revoked Viva Macau's AOC after the low-cost carrier started cancelling its flights from 26 March due to problems paying for its fuel.
The AACM subsequently obtained Air Macau's permission to cancel the sub-concession contract. Aircraft lessor AWAS, which supplies the airline's three Boeing 767s, has also terminated their contract and applied to the AACM to de-register the aircraft.
Viva Macau has still not resumed services despite hoping to do so over the weekend. The airline, however, says that it is "shocked and surprised" at the revocation of the AOC and the termination of the sub-concession contract.
It adds that it may take legal action to resume flights, pointing out that the sub-concession contract was terminated only on 31 March and therefore the AACM had "no grounds to revoke" the AOC on 28 March.
"We have responsible shareholders, superb management, and a team that operates at the highest international standards," adds the carrier.
The Macau government, however, says that the airline has no case. It says that Viva Macau told it earlier this year that it was looking for potential investors and asked the government to give it financial aid until an agreement was reached. It says that the airline did not provide any information on the investment plan subsequently.
The decisions, it adds, "comply with laws", reiterating that a company that wishes to provide public services has to show that "it is suitable, having appropriate technical quantification and financial capability".
"At this present moment, VIVA Macau is no longer compliant with the requirements of the regulations and does not have any condition to provide public air transport services," adds the Macau government.
