An Aurora-area prosecutor is moving to throw out a lawsuit filed by a victim of serial rapist Brent J.-Brents, on the basis of governmental immunity.
Eighteenth Judicial District Attorney Carol Chambers says her office has NO legal liability, and she can only offer the eight-thousand dollars an insurance company would pay for a settlement.
But 34-year-old Tiffany Engle says that's unacceptable.
She's fighting Chambers and the 18th District for not doing more to protect victims.
Police and prosecutors have admitted they made mistakes which allowed Brents to remain free -- even after he attacked a young boy.
She told her attorney to tell authorities to -- quote -- "go to hell" when she was first offered a ten-thousand-dollar settlement.
Four of Brents' victims have been compensated, but Engle says she now has partial hearing and vision loss, and will fight for an amount she thinks is fair.
Brents has already been sentenced to nearly 15-hundred years in prison.

TCL > July 1999 Issue > Albert John (Jack) Laing
Stanley Dempsey is Chairman and CEO of Royal Gold, Inc., a Denver-based gold mining firm. Earlier he was Division Attorney for the Climax Molybdenum Company, and a partner in the firm of Arnold & Porter.
Albert John Laing ("Jack") was very much a product of Leadville, Colorado's two-mile-high, boisterous, multi-cultural, rags-to-riches mining camp. Hired to try a murder case before he was admitted to the bar, "Jack" Laing pursued a career that took him from small-town general practice to the heights of corporate power as an attorney for some of the most powerful mining interests in Colorado and on Wall Street. He enjoyed all parts of his practice, and he never forgot where he came from— or the people who helped him achieve the reputation of "one of the greatest of Colorado's lawyers."
Birth and Education
Albert John Laing was born on July 27, 1903. His father, John Laing, worked for many years as a conductor on the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad. His mother, Caroline Hyde Laing, was a teacher. Jack attended the Ninth Street School and graduated from Leadville High School. He attended the University of California at Berkeley, where he obtained his B.A. degree, and then took pre-law courses at Stanford. He received his law degree from the University of Denver ("DU") in 1928.1 Jack was a long-time member of the Continental Divide and Colorado Bar Associations ("CBA"). He received recognition as a fifty-year member of the CBA and an honorary doctor of law from DU.
Jack spent most of his career in Leadville, where he served twelve years as City Attorney. He also was Assistant District Attorney for five years and maintained a typical small-town private practice, handling wills and estates, real property matters, and corporate work. He was known throughout the state as an effective trial lawyer with an aggressive manner.2 Jack and his DU classmate, E. A. Wildy, undertook the defense of Charles Graves, charged with the murder of his wife, the day after they were admitted to the Colorado Bar. Over the years, he tried twenty-six homicide cases, including the cases of such highly publicized murderers as Martinez, Roper, and Hinman.3
Lawyer for Climax
Molybdenum Company
In 1940, Jack Laing began representing the Climax Molybdenum Company, a major mining company that operated the enormous Climax molybdenum mine located thirteen miles northeast of Leadville on Fremont Pass. By far the largest mine in the Leadville area, Climax supplied steel hardening molybdenum and tungsten in World War I, and was reopened and expanded to supply the auto industry in the 1930s. The mine was run by hard-driving bosses in Colorado and in New York, and by the time Jack Laing was hired in 1940, it had a bad reputation with the public. Climax had a poor safety record and, in the late 1930s, got into a scrap with Lake County and the Governor of Colorado over property taxes.
The battle between the company and the state became so egregious that cooler heads prevailed in the top management, and new approaches to community acceptance were sought. Jack helped the company locally, and Steve Hart of Holland & Hart in Denver was brought in to design some state-level approaches that would make Climax a more welcome part of the Colorado scene. By the 1950s, Climax was one of the largest employers in the state, and the largest customer of Public Service Company, Ideal Cement, and CF&I. At the same time, it had changed its approach to the public and placed great emphasis on safety. Jack was at the center of these efforts, and his understanding of and empathy for people living in Leadville had a lot to do with Climax becoming one of Colorado's most popular employers and neighbors. Climax was merged with the American Metal Company in 1954, to form American Metal Climax, or as it was later renamed, AMAX Inc. AMAX was, for a time, the largest mining company in the world.
In August 1960, Climax asked Jack Laing to come to work full time. He was named Division Attorney, Western Operations, of Climax Molybdenum Company.4 He guided Climax in its continuing expansion at the Climax mine, and in its development of the new Urad and Henderson Mines in Clear Creek County, Colorado.
I joined Jack at Climax in 1964. Fresh out of law school, Jack put me to work acquiring land and clearing titles for the new Ten Mile tailing pond on the north side of Fremont pass. We worked with long-time Breckenridge attorney Bob Theobald to acquire mining claims, townsites, and old railroad rights-of-ways in the area just south of what is now the Copper Mountain ski resort. Theobald owned the title company in Summit County, and Jack wisely put him to work on this massive land program. Jack patiently supervised my work in what turned out to be some novel mining law and real property law situations, becoming a mentor and a friend.
The Legal Department office at Climax kept the same hours as the mine. It started at 7:30 a.m., the same time the miners went underground on the "man trip," the train that hauled them to their working places in the mine. In 1965, Climax discovered a new molybdenum deposit under the Urad Mine in Clear Creek County. This led to development of the Henderson Mine, the largest privately developed project of any kind in the history of Colorado. Construction of the mine took ten years and cost $500 million. The main shaft, near Berthoud Pass, was sunk to a depth of 3,000 feet. A full-size railroad tunnel was driven from the mine upward for nine miles to exit in the Williams Fork Valley in Grand County. Jack Laing was responsible for the legal work for this massive undertaking, including the effort to secure the necessary land and water rights. Jack wisely counseled that the company should secure all the land in fee simple, assuring security of tenure for the many years the mine would operate.
After the Henderson Mine was discovered, Jack and I traveled to Denver each week to work with Climax's outside attorneys, including Hugh Burns, Don Sherwood, Gary Greer, and Bill Schoberlein, who were then at Sherman & Howard, and Steve Hart, Jack Kelly, and Frank Morison of Holland & Hart, and Tony Zarlengo. Jack Laing was particularly close to Tony Zarlengo. Tony was a DU law school classmate. They helped each other out repeatedly over the years. We stayed at the Brown Palace, Tuesday through Friday most weeks, and Jack pretty much set up camp in Tony Zarlengo's office in the Capitol Life building every afternoon. Jack secured from these outstanding lawyers the very best in legal services for Climax. Jack maintained offices at Climax from 1960 until his retirement in 1968.
A Positive Approach and Good Judgment
Jack Laing was very much a "lawyer's lawyer." He was careful and thoughtful in analyzing legal issues, and he was often consulted by other lawyers. Hugh Burns says, "Jack always had a reason for whatever he suggested regarding legal matters."5 The late Peter Cosgriff was proud of his close relationship to Jack, and consulted with Jack on many important matters. Jim Engelking observes that, "Jack always had a clear understanding of his client's objective, and never wavered from it as he crafted his approach to a legal matter."6
Jack's colleagues are universal in their praise of Jack's good judgment. He seemed to have a particular grasp of human nature, and he understood other people's points of view. He was particularly adept at coming up with solutions to problems by helping the other party achieve his or her objective. This was a particularly helpful attribute for a lawyer representing a large company like Climax.
During those years with Climax, I had an opportunity to spend a lot of time with Jack. We drove back and forth to Denver from Leadville, worked together all day, and often shared meals at the Brown Palace and around Denver in the evenings. I had a wonderful opportunity to see Jack work as a lawyer and as a human being. I came to know Jack's family and his friends in both Leadville and Denver and to understand why they all held him in such high regard.
I first saw Jack handle a complicated legal matter in a practical and effective way when Climax found its interests in conflict over matters involving the application of Colorado's municipal statute dealing with disincorporation. As a part of my work on the Ten Mile tailing pond, I undertook to help cause disincorporation of the Town of Recen, and I sought judicial declaration of abandonment of the Town of Kokomo in federal court. Recen had ten or twelve residents, and Kokomo was a ghost town. Both had to go so as to clear the way for the new tailing pond.
Just as we were ready to go forward with the disincorporation election for Recen (with the help of long-time Leadville attorney Peter Cosgriff, who was special counsel for Recen), a group of unhappy taxpayers in Leadville petitioned for disincorporation of Leadville. Climax, as the largest taxpayer in Lake County, opposed that disincorporation, and Jack went to work to stop it. I found myself in the delicate position of having my boss attacking the very statute I was using to disincorporate Recen. I learned from Jack that consistency was indeed "the hobgoblin of small minds," and somehow we secured positive results in both Recen and Leadville.
I saw another side of Jack when he organized the effort to acquire the land needed for the surface facilities for the Henderson Mine. He and Tony Zarlengo worked with ranch real estate experts such as Frank Kemp to run an effective and ethical land purchase program. Here Jack saw that it would be in AMAX's interest to pay generously for the land it required and to deal fairly with everyone. He was prescient in suggesting AMAX keep some selling ranchers on the land by leasing back the surface on very attractive terms. Over the years, the mine has enjoyed wonderful relations with these happy neighbors. Jack and Tony also worked closely with both Glen Saunders, of the Denver Water Board, and Mark Shivers, who represented Englewood, to put together an ingenious water rights scheme for the Henderson Mine.
The Henderson Mine also put Jack Laing very much on the side of environmental protection. Henderson was discovered before the enactment of the National Environmental Policy Act, but the first stirrings of citizen environmental activism were evident. The Parker decision, giving the public some say in Forest Service timber cutting practices, had come down, and the Colorado Open Space Council had been organized at Breckenridge in 1964. Clearly, environmentalists wanted a say in how agencies like the U.S. Forest Service dealt with public lands.
When I suggested to Jack that AMAX get ahead of the issue by being open with our planning for Henderson, Jack championed the idea, endorsing a scheme by which the company invited several citizen environmentalists to work with it in designing the Henderson Mine. Jack took the suggestion first to Frank Coolbaugh, then Chairman of AMAX, and later to Ian MacGregor, Coolbaugh's successor, and got the okay to go public with mine development. The resulting program was highly successful, making Henderson a model mine and bringing to it national and international recognition and awards. Jack's advocacy of the program was key to its acceptance.
Jack Laing's good judgment also played a key role in AMAX's great election victory in 1976. That year, Governor Lamm, frustrated by legislative defeats of his attempts to secure a severance tax on minerals, launched a ballot measure that would have taxed only molybdenum. The measure was cleverly designed to substitute the severance tax for the sales tax on groceries. The campaign slogan was "tax moly, not milk."
Governor Lamm was no beginner in this kind of fight, having won a similar referendum to stop the holding of the winter Olympics in Colorado. Naturally, many mining people, particularly within AMAX, felt the proposal was unfair and wanted to lash out at the Governor. Polling showed that Governor Lamm had a high voter approval rating, and AMAX's political people advised against attacking the Governor. Jack supported the political professionals and pollsters, setting a higher tone for the campaign.
AMAX and others in mining fought the election with television advertising that questioned voter trust of government proposals, but never attacked the Governor. The measure was overwhelming rejected by the voters, saving AMAX $11 million per year. Jack Laing's positive approach and good judgment again carried the day.

A Mentor and Counselor
In the late 1960s and early 1970s, AMAX added several lawyers to handle work at Henderson regarding health and safety challenges that came with the new federal Mine Health and Safety Act, new environmental legislation, and expansions such as the newly discovered molybdenum deposits at Mt. Emmons near Crested Butte. Joining the staff were Bob Backus, Dan Hale, Jim Engelking, David Delcour, Art Biddle, Sheryl Outerbridge, and Peter Keppler. Jack spent time with everyone, providing patient guidance to all the young people in the law department.
During the mid-1970s, when world demand for molybdenum exceeded supply, operations at the Climax mine were expanded rapidly. Construction of a new tailing impoundment required massive land acquisition and exchange programs, environmental permitting, relocation of water canals, construction of a new reservoir, and relocation of seven miles of Colorado Highway 91. All permits and legal requirements had been fulfilled, when a new Assistant Attorney General indicated that the State's right-of-way exchange agreement for the highway could not be performed because the Department's Chief Engineer had not obtained proper approvals from the Highway Commission.
The issue was raised during a policy dispute between the Highway Department and the Attorney General's office. Frustrated, one of the new Climax lawyers called Jack Laing for advice. His only question was, "What are you trying to do?" "The mill has to deposit tailing behind the Mayflower toe dam in two years, so highway relocation has to start this summer," was the reply. "Then it seems to me your course is clear," said Jack. Whereupon the new lawyer put aside all thoughts of who was right and who was wrong, and promptly negotiated a new agreement, acceptable to the new Assistant Attorney General.
Over the years, senior officials of AMAX came to Jack for advice on all manner of legal matters, relying on his good judgment for direction. In 1978, on the occasion of Jack's recognition as a fifty-year member of the Colorado Bar Association, Ian MacGregor, Chairman of AMAX, and later famous as Chairman of the British Coal Board under Prime Minister Thatcher, complimented Jack, saying:
Over the last quarter century, I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with you and have developed an enormous respect for your contributions to the legal profession in the State of Colorado. Without your careful, thoughtful and understanding guidance to the company, I know that AMAX would have had infinitely more difficulty in achieving its objective in serving the world in molybdenum markets with continuous developments in Colorado.7
In the years following Jack Laing's switch to a corporate practice in 1960, he found it impossible to drop all of his old Leadville clients. AMAX made it possible for Jack to continue to help people in Leadville. He kept his office in the Bank Annex in Leadville, and he saw clients there and at his office at the mine. He handled much of this work pro bono, or with very small fees. In Jack's office waiting room, I once spotted both the nun who headed St. Vincent's Hospital and the madam who ran Leadville's last bordello. Both of these prominent ladies of Leadville were clients of Jack's. They were having quite a pleasant and animated conversation about some matter of common interest. Only in Leadville!
Jack Laing was humble about his achievements, but a few stories about Jack were preserved by his friends. Veteran lawyers in Leadville always swore that the Statute of Lady Justice fell off the top of the old Leadville courthouse the day he and Ed Wildy won the Graves murder case. A more likely story tells about a young Jack Laing aggressively cross-examining a woman widely known to be a bootlegger during prohibition, hoping to impeach her credibility in a trial on another matter. Jack reasoned that she would lie about bootlegging because her testimony would implicate her in a federal crime under the Volstead Act, and that everyone in town knew she was a bootlegger. Jack asked, "Isn't it true that you have been selling whiskey out at the Pines?" She replied, "Yes, and you've been buying it." The judge asked Jack to approach the bench, saying, "Is that enough cross-examination, my impetuous young friend?"
Another anecdote that could only happen in a place like Leadville has Jack receiving "high grade" as part of a legal fee payment. "High grade" is gold or other valuable minerals stolen from a mine. In the great mining camps like Leadville, the miner is always seen as the underdog when prosecuted for stealing gold, and juries made up of other miners rarely convict. At Cripple Creek, miners and miners unions held such sway with elected judges that gold ore was declared to be real estate, and that it could not be stolen because it was not personal property.
Against this background, Jack won a commercial case of some kind for a prominent jewelry firm in Leadville. That firm had a reputation as a "fence" for high graders. Jack had presented a pretty hefty bill for his services and he expected a complaint from the owner of the jewelry firm. Instead, he was surprised to receive his fee in full, and a very large gold nugget! The veracity of this story is not to be doubted, as the nugget is now on display at the National Mining Museum and Hall of Fame in Leadville, a gift of the Laing family. Again, only in Leadville!
Leadville was famous for its rags-to-riches stories of striking it rich in the mines and dissipating the fortune in riotous living. The legends of the Tabors and the Unsinkable Molly Brown are part of the rich heritage of the place. Jack was proud of his connection to Tom Walsh, the Irish miner who struck it rich in the Camp Bird Mine at Ouray, through Jack's wife, Anna Mae Laing, who was related to Walsh through the Cody family. He also was proud of his representation of Baby Doe Tabor during her last years.
Baby Doe lived as a recluse at the Matchless Mine, just above Leadville. Her feet wrapped in rags, Baby Doe made occasional runs into town to pick up mail and groceries, and to seek advice from Jack. After she froze to death in her lonely, unheated cabin, Jack was appointed to represent the Colorado Historical Society concerning the handling of her estate. Jack recalled in later years that he and the judge spent many hours reading the love letters that had passed between Baby Doe and Horace Tabor, destroying those they thought were indecent. Their approach may shock historians, but Jack confided to me that the letters were outrageous even by latter day (1980s) standards.
The Man
Jack Laing was highly regarded by those who knew him. He practiced the virtues that lawyers today are seeking to recapture. He was punctual, generous, civil, and loyal. He took great pride in being a lawyer, and always dressed the part. A fan of Borsalino hats, he only rarely removed his coat. I only remember seeing Jack dressed in a sport shirt once during all the years I knew him.
Jack was particularly fond of the Brown Palace Hotel, where he held the earliest outstanding credit card. Jack was a generous tipper, and was beloved by the staff for his personal kindness toward them. Popular with the management, when the hotel was oversold he was always put up in a the suite on the ninth floor. Once he invited all the Climax legal staff over for drinks in the Presidential suite. We enjoyed seeing the knotty pine installed for President Eisenhower. Much of the planning for the Henderson Mine took place in the Palace Arms restaurant and the Brown Palace Club. Hugh Burns has reminded me that he never allowed anyone else to buy lunch.
Jack gave generously to his community. He served on the advisory board for the new hospital when it was built in Leadville, and he gave a lot of support to the Leadville schools. He was particularly effective in securing support from Climax for all communities in the area around the mine. He was sincerely interested in the well-being of the communities and the people in them. He never forgot where he came from.
Jack was very much a family man, and was close to his wife of forty-six years, Anna Mae. They had one son, Don, now deceased. Don and his wife Brigetta have two children, Anne and John. The Laings lived for many years at 809 Spruce Street in Leadville, not far from the Mining Museum and Harrison Avenue, Leadville's main street. Jack left Leadville after Anna Mae died in 1985, taking up residence in a retirement home in Denver. He passed away May 21, 1989, at the age of 86.

Samsung warns of 25 percent profits slump, 'sluggish' smartphone and tablet sales
Slowing Galaxy S5 sales and 'increased competition' to blame
KOREAN PHONE MAKER Samsung warned of a 25 percent decline in profit for the second quarter of 2014 on Monday, blaming "sluggish" smartphone and tablet sales.
Just two weeks ago, Samsung CEO Lee Sang-hoon candidly warned that the firm's second quarter "doesn't look too good", and the firm on Monday confirmed that with the release of its profits guidance for the three month period.
Samsung said it expects to bring home an operating profit of 7.2 trillion Won, or around $7.1bn, for the quarter ending June, a 24.5 percent drop compared to this time last year. The company also said that it expects sales for the quarter to come in around 52 trillion Won, a 9.4 percent year-on-year decline.
Samsung had a lot of excuses for this dive in profits. The firm said that increased competition in China and Europe has led to higher inventories of mid-range and low-end smartphones, while increased competition in China has slowed its growth in the region. The firm also said that sales of its tablets were unexpectedly slow during the three months ending June, which it blamed on "longer replacement cycles" compared with smartphones, and the growing popularity of phablet devices.
While the firm has not yet coughed, it's likely that slowing sales of the flagship Galaxy S5 has also had a negative effect on the company's sales.
Analyst outfit Kantar Worldpanel Comtech seems to think so, revealing last month that sales of the Samsung Galaxy S5 are lagging behind the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C in the UK.
Korean brokerage firm KTB Investment and Securities also recently made note of Samsung's slowing smartphone sales, cutting the firms smartphone shipment forecast for the second quarter by 12.5 percent to 77 million, from its previous estimation of 88 million.
Looking to the future, Samsung "cautiously expects a more positive outlook in the third quarter with the coming release of its new smartphone lineup", likely a nod at the rumoured Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy F smartphones. µ

Show Me the Money, Max
Filed under: Track & Field
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 19, 2011 – Alan Abrahamson is one of the world's most respected columnists on Olympic sports, especially in the U.S. So when he wrote on Monday that USA Track & Field "maybe getting something not just right but possibly taking an ambitious step to profoundly reshape the future direction of the sport in the United States and even worldwide," you read on with interest.
The development was this:
USA Track & Field (USATF) has engaged the services of Indianapolis-based Max Siegel Inc. (MSI) in a broad, fully integrated service agreement that will unite USATF's commercial ventures. The move is part of a USATF plan that streamlines its internal staff structure in marketing and communications.
MSI will work with USATF staff to integrate and vastly expand USATF's commercial efforts in marketing, sponsorship, publicity, membership and broadcasting. The company is charged with six goals: to increase sponsor revenue and the stable of USATF's corporate partners; enhance relationships with current USATF sponsors; manage the USATF brand; increase membership; develop and produce custom broadcast and new media content; and manage USATF's broadcast relationships for event coverage.
For the sake of track & field in our country, I hope Abrahamson is right. But I'm from Missouri on this one – with no disrespect intended to Mr. Siegel and his team – since I also know the history of these kinds of endeavors:
• February 1988: From Advertising Age, "The Athletics Congress, the Indianapolis-based governing body for U.S. track and field, plans to develop a national series of televised indoor and outdoor meets starting next year. TAC has hired Advantage International, a Washington sports-management company, to line up corporate sponsors and a TV deal for the TAC Circuit of Track & Field."
• April 2007: From a USATF news release, "Wasserman Media Group has entered into long-term exclusive partnerships with USA Gymnastics, USA Swimming and USA Track & Field to represent the trio in the marketplace for sponsorship, events and marketing opportunities, and develop digital platforms to broaden distribution and original programming."
Both deals were with major players in the media and sponsorship markets; neither amounted to much. And well-thought-out plans along similar lines called "Atlanta and Beyond" and "Atlanta and Beyond II" were developed for USATF by Washington, D.C.-based D.M.C. in 1992 and 1993, and didn't change the underlying weakness in the sport's profile in this country, either.
In the meantime, the best sponsor track & field ever had in this country – Mobil – left in the 1990s after sponsoring its own indoor and outdoor circuit for many years.
I hope that Max Siegel is able to work some magic where others have failed, because the product can be appealing . . . if anyone can find it. To that end, the IAAF has missed again with the release of the 2012 Diamond League schedule. American sports fans know that they can find baseball, basketball and hockey games on almost every day of the week, with college football on Thursdays and Saturdays and pro football on Sundays and Mondays. Track fans, what day is your Diamond League meet on this week . . . if there is one:
• May 11 (Fri.): Doha
• May 19 (Sat.): Shanghai
• May 31 (Thu.): Rome
• Jun. 02 (Sat.): Eugene
• Jun. 07 (Thu.): Oslo
• Jun. 09 (Sat.): New York
• Jul. 06 (Fri.): Paris
• Jul. 13-14 (Fri.-Sat.): London
• Jul. 20 (Fri.): Monaco
• Aug. 17 (Fri.): Stockholm
• Aug. 23 (Thu.): Lausanne
• Aug. 26 (Sun.): Birmingham
• Aug. 30 (Thu.): Zurich
• Sep. 07 (Fri.): Brussels
That's a total of 14 meets covering 15 days on four different days of the week:
• 6 on Fridays;
• 4 on Thursdays;
• 4 on Saturdays;
• 1 on a Sunday.
And, of course, there are month-long breaks for the U.S. Olympic Trials and Olympic Games. Track used to be a game of "catch me if you can." Now, trying to enjoy the sport is more a matter of "catch me if you can find me."
Only two of these meets are in the U.S., of course; we no longer have an indoor circuit and putting on a quality, one-day outdoor meet – I was the meet director for the 2003 and 2004 Home Depot Invitationals at The Home Depot Center in Carson, California – costs from $500,000-750,000 in cash for athletes, facility rent, promotion and advertising, officials and staff, television production and the rest..
I firmly believe that someone will crack the code someday and create a reasonably successful U.S. track circuit. Abrahamson is right to wish Siegel well; we all should. But the bottom line is, as they say, "show me the money." Good luck, Mr. Siegel; you're going to need it.

USA Track & Field's ROI on $4.4 million from the USOC
Filed under: Olympic Games, Swimming, Track & Field
LOS ANGELES, Jun. 8, 2011 – The rightly-celebrated Alan Abrahamson, one of the most-respected journalists covering the Olympic Movement in the United States, filed a lengthy report on June 6 entitled Track and field – going nowhere fast in the United States, which included these gems:
Track and field is going nowhere fast in the United States.
It can, and must, do better — especially because USATF, track and field's governing body, is getting $4.4 million annually in grant money from the U.S. Olympic Committee, the most any governing body is getting, and with that kind of cash comes heavy responsibility.
. . .
[W]hat, exactly, is the USOC getting in return for that $4.4 million? Relay teams that keep dropping the baton at the Olympics and world championships and — what else?
Now, Alan is a longtime friend, but while reading the column, I couldn't help thinking of Mel Brooks as the Indian chief in the 1975 comedy classic, Blazing Saddles:
Nein, nein. Zeist est meshugah!
For those not up on their Yiddish, the translation is "No, no. This is crazy." And so it is.
Yes, USA Track & Field underachieves when it comes to the public profile of the sport in the U.S. Yes, the governing body is still looking for a new chief executive after having fired Doug Logan just weeks after he signed a new contract. Yes, what was once a vibrant U.S. spring track season has been reduced for most professional runners to competing in the U.S. nationals in order to make it to the World Championships.
But the $4.4 million that the U.S. Olympic Committee spends on track & field does earn a return: Olympic medals.
Consider the U.S. track fortunes in the three Olympic Games following the home cooking of Atlanta in 1996:
• 2000: 19 track & field medals (10 gold): 19.6% of the U.S. total of 97.
• 2004: 25 track & field medals (8 gold): 24.3% of the U.S. total of 103.
• 2008: 23 track & field medals (7 gold): 20.9% of the U.S. total of 110.
That's production. Consistent, and – by the way – dominant. Just look at the top of the track & field medal standings in each of those Games:
• 2000: U.S.; 19, Russia, 12; Ethiopia, 8.
• 2004: U.S., 25; Russia, 19; Ethiopia and Kenya, 7.
• 2008: U.S.; 23, Russia, 18; Kenya, 14.
If, as Abrahamson notes, track is the bellwether sport in the Games, then USA Track & Field is holding up its end, producing – somehow – the best track athletes in the world, as did its predecessors in name, The Athletics Congress (TAC) and the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU). The U.S., is, has been and will be for the foreseeable future, the world's leading track & field power, and that's what the USOC is buying with its $4.4 million annual grant.
Not bad, really, especially for a sport with as many hang-ups as track & field in the U.S.
Although not noted in the story, the one party which should feel aggrieved is USA Swimming, which is the biggest American medal machine of all. American swimmers (not including diving, synchronized swimming or water polo) collected 33 medals in 2000, 28 in 2004 and 31 in Beijing in 2008, beating the track team each time and producing 34.0%, 27.2% and 28.2% of all American medals won.
If anything, our swimmers are under-funded, but with NBC's $4.38 billion buy-in for the Olympic Games from 2014-2020, maybe they'll draw even with their land-based compatriots. Anything less . . . that would be meshugah.

Kalderetang Kambing is goat meat stewed in tomato sauce. The adult goat meat, Chevon, is commonly used for this dish. The meat is sautéed with garlic, onions, and tomatoes then stewed in tomato sauce until it becomes tender.
Preparing goat meat requires some extra procedures compared to beef or pork. Since goat meat is gamey, a common practice to eliminate the odor and gamey flavor is to marinate it in vinegar, salt, and ground black pepper mixture for an hour or two before cooking.
Compared to the other Kaldereta dishes (sometimes spelled as Caldereta), Kalderetang Kambing is considered more special. It is commonly served in special occasions such as town fiestas and birthday parties (usually for grown-ups). It also goes well as an appetizer (pulutan) and is best when beer is around.
Try this Kalderetang Kambing recipe.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Last week, I wrote about the divergence that exists between rivals Lowe's (LOW - Get Report) and Home Depot (HD - Get Report).Lowe's, which has been struggling for some time due to (among other things) lack of a merchandising strategy, was coming off a disappointing first quarter, for which management blamed the weather. Meanwhile, Home Depot post better-than-expected first-quarter results and raised guidance.

The examples uses the language model for I18N of the plugin, but does not show how this elements are added to the plugin the language directories.
Looking at profile5.xml it indicates that the language files are to be found in:
But these are the language files for the User:Profile plugin. So basically, the language translations would need to be done on another plugin's language files?
Should this tutorial show the plugin containing its own language files? For example:
and examples of how these files would look like...
Jcasal 21:00, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
Actually, after lots of trial and error, I have found a few other things that needed to be updated, so the changes are now published. Hope they work for others and save you some time doing your first user profile extension plugin.
profile to profile5
I made the changes for plug-in to work as expected.
As before it was not running onUserAfterSave functon, because profile5 property in $data array was not set.
If profile keys stay the same in database, profile plugin wipes out profile5 keys and vice versa.

hi, i copied the files as they are now and installed the plugin :
- the save in the database is ok, - but : - on the profile view, the "someting!" field appears as 'no data entered' (or its real english equivalent, i am ona french install of joomla!) - when editing the profile, from frontend as well as from admin area, the field is empty (not filled with the database data)
It looks like the plugin works fine for recording to database, but not for reading saved data from the database. Any ideas ???

Chauncey Billups' vertical has diminished and his speed in the open court slowed.
That's fine with the Denver Nuggets they just like him for his winning touch.
The Mile High City native led the Detroit Pistons to six straight Eastern Conference finals with his impeccable decision-making abilities and clutch shooting.
That's why the Nuggets acquired Billups, along with Antonio McDyess and Cheikh Samb, from Detroit this week for Allen Iverson.
They like his no-nonsense attitude when it comes to winning.
''I'm coming to work, I'm coming to win,'' Billups said Thursday. ''If guys want to win, they're going to fall in line. That's all I play for that's the only reason I play is to win.''
While Billups is on board, McDyess may soon be bought out of his contract. His agent, Andy Miller, called his chances of returning for a third stint with Denver ''very low to zero.''
''I don't think it has to do with a destination or a city right now,'' Miller said. ''I think it has more to do with his ability to pick and choose his destination ... He really had difficulty with the whole thing.''
Not so with Billups.
He's a celebrity around Denver, a high school prodigy who went on to play at the University of Colorado. Billups couldn't wait to get back for a second stint in Denver.
After all, Billups' first time in town didn't go as he expected he was forced to play shooting guard with Nick Van Exel already running the show and later dislocated his left shoulder, requiring season-ending surgery.
''When I first came back here, I was like the hometown kid coming back,'' Billups said. ''Now I'm a man.ing Billups what he expected out of him make big shots and play huge in big games.
That's all.
Then again, it's nothing that he hasn't already done.
''My game is not a game that's speed or jumping, my game is methodical,'' Billups said. ''It's being a good shooter, making good decisions.''
Not to mention winning.
That's why the Nuggets will heed his advice on the floor.
''He has a championship ring,'' Martin said, grinning.
Billups is looking forward to pushing the ball up the floor, not running a ball-control offense like he did with the Pistons.
Still, he'll miss his teammates in Detroit, even wondering why the team was imploded so early in the season.
''When you get a special group of guys like that, you don't really give up on it that fast,'' he said.
Although he's now in Karl's high-octane system, Billups won't get carried away. He still values possessions too much.
That's why he expressed some concern after catching the Nuggets' loss to Golden State on Wednesday night.
''A lot of times some of the players lack some self discipline out there, as far as bad shot selection and turning the ball over,'' Billups said. ''I think it's really a thin line when you want to run and gun run, run, run. You've still got to try to take care of the ball. You've got to get stops.''
That's exactly what Karl wanted to hear from his new point guard.

Caillou's learning to do new things, and discovering it's okay to have help while he learns. To prove he's ready to help Dad paint the porch, Caillou paints Rosie's dollhouse first - and Gilbert, with paint-dipped paws, does some painting too! Caillou moves from renovation to recreation when Dad and Sarah teach him to play baseball; Dad teaches him to swim; and Clementine goads him into going down the big kids' slide. Mom shows Caillou how to tie his shoes but he get frustrated and stops trying. With courage and practice, he's soon able to do these things on his own. EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVE: Children will learn that it takes practice, patience effort and time to acquire new skills. It may be hard or frustrating or scary at first, but, if they try, they can learn so many things: catching and throwing a ball, swimming, shoe lace tying, using a paint brush, and how to go down the biggest slide in the playground.
There are no upcoming air times for this episode.

May 6, 2016
Dozens showed up in front of the Pitt County courthouse early Sunday evening for a rally.
Event organizer Don Cavellini of the Pitt County Coalition Against Racism expressed his outrage in light of former Assistant District Attorney Faris Dixon's removal from office days after finishing first in the primary for Pitt County's district judge race.
Among the speakers at the rally were Kenneth Battle of New Covenant Church, Leon Johnson of Pitt County Residents for Democracy, Calvin Henderson of the Pitt County Chapter of the NAACP, Michael Adams of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, North of the River Focus Group, and Renee Boston-Hill of the African American Caucus of the North Carolina Democratic Party.
The speakers stressed the importance of voter registration and voting. They backed Dixon who was not present, stating that the 13-year veteran's removal from office has to do with the fact that he would be the first African American Pitt County District Judge. Cavellini said the District Attorney's Office is conducting a smear campaign against Dixon.
The SBI confirmed they received a request from the D.A. to investigate Dixon. There is no update on that investigation.

Reviews by greenmartianman
Great empire building turn-based strategygreenmartianman | Oct. 19, 2013 | Review of Sid Meiers Civilization V - PC
Despite not having any experience with the older Civilization title's, I still found myself enjoying the game a little more than I expected. The game is very accessible for a first time Civilization player like me with the helpful tooltips that pop-up occasionally along with the advisors offering you advices. Sure, I was not min-maxing my resources or building the greatest empire in the world but that did not discourage me from continually playing the game. Still this game is best played with friends. Learn from each others play styles and you might just discover something about your friend that you didn't know before. A lot of replayability and generally being fun makes this game a definite reccomendation from me.
Newbies first roguelike.greenmartianman | Sept. 13, 2013 | Review of Sword of the Stars The Pit Mind Games DLC pack - PC
This game happens to be an introduction to the roguelike genre for me and I have had a good time with the game soo far. The game reminds me of classic RPG's like Deus Ex with the skill system that allows you to build the classes your way and it allows for experimenting interesting skill combinations. The game looks nice and for those people looking for nostalgia should be satisfied with the 32 bit pixel art used by the game. Sound design is a bit lacking though and I usually find myself playing my own music most of the time and muting the game. This game is also a time sink. This can be good if you want to fully explore the game and see what it has to offer but if you are impatient then it can be harder to recommend because crafting recipes are hard to come by and not as obvious to figure out without a wiki.

Ambessa Tea Stories: How to Drink Tea the Irish Way
By Ashley Beck | March 14, 2013
There is a certain hospitality associated with tea. I experienced this kindness on my trip to England; you won't go to visit anyone without being offered a cup of tea or the host putting the kettle on within moments of entering their home. This tradition is quite true in Ireland as well, and although there are a few differences in preferences and tea strength, the warmth and generosity is no less apparent. Read More

Real Black Hat SEO
Posted by k | Posted in Uncategorized | Posted on 28-10-2008
You got your domains; you've developed some easy sort of MFA sites and guess what? Nobody pays you a visit.
Yes, you need some SEO. But as a Black Hat, I won't give you the same build links and get some original on topic content. Of course that's important, but let me tell you some new and still not overused tricks:
In case you still didn't notice, Google Webmaster Tools now tracks the number of your RSS feed subscribers you have. And having a large subscription base can easily shoot your articles rankings up. The magic number seems to be at least 25 for most things; however, if you can get this number well over 50, it won't be very hard to get highly competitive article themes way up in the rankings.
But how do I boost my subscriptions you now ask. No, it's no good to Photoshop your feedburner widget. Instead, let's try some online rss readers. Just create several Gmail accounts use each account to subscribe to your own rss feed. Use as many online readers, aggregators you may find like Netvibes. How do you think Shoemoney got that overnight boost on rss subscribers on the dispute with John Chow?
Feedburner hacked! from Boris Veldhuijzen van Zanten on Vimeo.
Google is using a comprehensive measure of how of your pages bounce rate and takes into account when calculating your overall rankings. If you're pages are bouncing over 80 percent of the time back to the search results, it's highly likely that the rankings will either be demoted or drop off completely. Between 50 and 60 percent seems to be the average that keeps a site ranked and consistent. However, if you can get the site to bounce less than 20 percent, you'll be performing in the top percentile and consistently rank well.
Browse the web for several ways to do this, here's a nice one for Firefox from Jeremiah Grossman.
Homework: discover how Shoemoney does it for Opera… it's on one of the .js files he loads…
The People Flood tactic, has been in use for a very long time now, and is still very effective. What this tricks does is simple: a bunch of people search for your keywords and clicks on your pages.
The best and most effective way to do this is using an iframed Google xss injection on a high traffic site. However nowadays it's very hard to find a Google xss and the ones found stay unpatched for a very short time. But why do you need a xss? Because G now uses a token to track your cookie.
So that leaves you not many choices but to use cheap human labor. Amazon's mechanical turk is one of the options.

CaSE was launched in March 2005, evolving out of its predecessor Save British Science. A press release announcing the name change is available on the left.
SBS was founded in 1986, following the placement of an advertisement in The Times newspaper. The idea came from a small group of university scientists brought together by a common concern about the difficulties they were facing in obtaining the funds for first class research.
The original plan was simply to buy a half-page adverisement in The Times to make the point, and the request for funds was spread via friends and colleagues in other universities. The response was overwhelming. Within a few weeks about 1500 contributors, including over 100 Fellows of the Royal Society and most of the British Nobel prize winners, had sent more than twice the sum needed. The advertisement appeared on 13th January 1986, and the balance of the money raised was used to found the Society, taking as its name the title of the advertisement.
A newsletter was sent out to members the following December, and the first AGM was
held on 30th October 1987, with a distinguished lecture given by Sir James Lighthill, then the provost of UCL. SBS and CaSE have continued to hold distinguished lectures every year, a list of which is available in the 20th Anniversary Booklet, which can be downloaded using the link on the left.
The first full colour newsletter was produced in spring 1994 (an image appears in the Anniverary Booklet). SBS continued to campaign from its office in Oxford until 1998. That year the organisation went professional, taking on full time staff, and moved to its present location in Tavistock Square, London.
CaSE is now an established feature of the science and technology policy scene, supported among universities and the learned societies, and able to attract media attention. We are accepted by Government as an organisation able to speak for a wide section of the science and engineering community in a constructive but also critical and forceful manner. We are free to speak without the restraints felt by learned societies and similar bodies, and it is good for Government to know someone is watching closely.

FLOYDS KNOBS — Jennings County couldn't find a way to break through Floyd Central starting pitcher Morgan Harper for the first four innings in Friday night's Hoosier Hills Conference softball final.
In the bottom of the fourth inning, rain came and delayed the game for over an hour. When play resumed, the Panthers finally gathered momentum, but it wasn't enough as they fell to the Highlanders 3-1.
Jennings coach Kendall Wildey said that it just came down to Floyd Central taking advantage of more opportunities.
"Floyd Central had timed their hits at the right moments," Wildey said. "We left eight runners stranded for the game. We just couldn't get anything going after the initial hit."
Harper allowed eight hits and one run to help the Highlanders (18-4) get the win.
"I have to give Morgan credit," Widley said. "She was pitching balls away from us so we couldn't get any solid contact. It prevented us from hitting the balls in the direction we wanted to hit them."
Panthers starting pitcher Lisa McIntosh didn't have her best night. She surrendered 10 hits and three runs.
"None of my pitches were working for me tonight," McIntosh said. "Floyd Central is a pretty good hitting team, and they were hitting everything I threw at them tonight."
"I didn't think she was as sharp as she normally is from what I saw," Wildey said. "She probably lost focus once they starting gathering hits against her. Her balls that she threw were not dropping down as much. Neither was her curveball. She wasn't getting much movement on her throws as she does most of time."
The Highlanders would score the first run of the game in the second inning when Katelin Dreher led off with a double. She would eventually score off of a Taylor Castleberry RBI-groundout to first. Dreher would knock in an RBI-double of her own to score Harper for a 2-0 lead when the rain starting moving in.
Once play resumed in the bottom of the fourth, Floyd Central managed to score another run when Castleberry scored off of a sacrifice fly.
The best offensive output for Jennings (19-5) came in the fifth. Kyndyl Olds got things going with a double. After advancing on a groundout, McIntosh delivered a single to score Olds to cut the deficit 3-1.
"We didn't do a bad job hitting in that inning," Olds said. "We just have to do a better job at figuring out how we could string the hits more consecutively together."

Foie Gras
What is the latest info on bringing jarred or tinned Foie Gras into the US...Traveling to Dordogne and would like to bring back a small amount but seems that I heard in early 2012 that there are new restrictions.
What is the latest info on bringing jarred or tinned Foie Gras into the US...Traveling to Dordogne and would like to bring back a small amount but seems that I heard in early 2012 that there are new restrictions.
I brought some back last fall, and I was really sorry I did. They ended up letting me keep it, but I had to wait around for a long time while they did I don't know what -- looked up stuff, talked it over, etc. Maybe it depends on who happens to be on duty.
Los Angeles has banned the sale of Foie Gras (although we have no problem with chicken that has been raised in much less humane conditions). I don't believe that affects the ability to bring it with you. From the U.S. Border Patrol website: "Fois Gras - If cooked and in a hermetically sealed container, maybe. " https://help.cbp.gov/app/answers/detail/a_id/944/~/bringing-meat,-poultry-or-pork%2Fswine-products-into-the-u.s.
Maybe I will take a copy of that site with me and ask for the customs agent who will let it through :)
I doubt it will be a problem if it is well marked. I wouldn't bring a lot back just in case. I absolutely loved the Dordogne and could spend a lot more time there. I hope you'll have a car with a GPS because it makes everything very easy. My only mistake was not venturing out in the evenings for dinner and using the Rick Steve's(or whichever guide book you choose) for restaurant choices. Everything is amazing there and the diversity of what you can do in a day is incredible.
I got sent through the "inspection" line last night after arriving back from France and going through customs. I had put spices on my list of foods coming back. The first guy said they were going to check my "spices" but the only thing the inspector asked, and he asked it three times was if I had brought any foie gras with me. I don't know if it was allowed but it was a weird question. He made no mention of my spices. I did notices this morning when I unpacked that someone did in fact go through my suit case and opened the ziplock with my spices in it. They did not reseal the bag. Also my suitcase was not locked in the same manner as I did it.
We've brought back foie gras w/o a problem, but that was several years ago, and as everyone knows, there's been a few changes in air travel, security and inspections since then. We did bring back rillette this Spring with no problem; the inspector was mostly concerned about whether we had any pork products. I'd recommend bringing some back, but I'd suggest a jar rather than a tin. I know about the California ban, but unless you're flying into California that's not a problem, and even then I doubt it is. As to Liz's comments, did you fly into California? And I assume the inspectors' issue with "spices" involved a resemblance to drugs. Otherwise I don't know why they'd care. But it doesn't sound like an unwelcome experience. It all really depends on the inspector you get. On our recent return via Dublin so young man was so incredibly friendly and pleasant, and was pretty much telling us what answers to give. I got the impression he couldn't wait until quitting time when he could go out and have a Guinness.
Liz in Round Rock...Where did you go through customs? I will be going through in Atlanta...I have read that there was not an issue unless there were "fillers"....ie maybe Pork....and I also read that someone had issues with products with the name "Foie Gras" on the label but not if it was listed as an ingredient....Sounds like a crap shoot....I'm going to give it try and but not make a large investment just in case. I will post after I get back. Thanks to all the input.
One thing you could do is do as a ChowHound user did and email the USDA. They will say something along the lines of: Personal use amounts of poultry products packed in hermetically sealed containers and cooked by a commercial to produce products that are shelf-stable without refrigeration, are allowed in passenger baggage. Print the email, bring it with you, show it to a customs official who gives you any grief.
Problem is that the USDA may have one regulation, and the FDA, CDC or some other agency has conflicting policies. It's up to US Customs to sort it all out, so what's allowed one week may be different another week. Whatever you do, make sure you declare it. The more stamps in your passport the more likely you will be fined if caught attempting to get away something;)
I totally agree with Michael, but would add to his statement what's "allowed one week may be different another week": What's allowed by one Custom's inspector might be disallowed by the guy in the next booth. As to declaring, I also totally agree, and never try to hide anything. While the chances of getting caught may be small, the consequences of getting caught are probably pretty significant. I find that when you're totally upfront, Customs inspectors will bend over backwards to let things through, to the extent of even suggesting how you should answer their question. For example, our issues usually involve cheese from France, and we've had inspectors say: "What kind of cheese; you need a knife to cut it, right?" Or: "What's the packaging? A sealed cheese?"
Apparently food MUST be declared. If that's the case then the Global Entry kiosk will not be an option. I've been told that locally produced (US) refrigerated pate is better than canned pate. If that helps you make a decision. I really wouldnt know. I can only afford it when I travel to Budapest (its snack food there). IN the US its way out of my league.
Fois Gras Update: I brought back 1 small can of Fois Gras ( the merchant suggested tinned rather than jarred and I had decide to get pure rather than something with filler) and went through customs in Atlanta. I declared it and was sent through the USDA line ( of 1 person). The agent did not have a clue what it was. I showed him the can and he said as long as the meat is cooked, commercially packaged and does not contain BEEF, they have no problem....Se la vie
Good news Sandy.
At one point it was the bird flu scare that cause the restriction. For other products, it was the mad cow. We were always allowed to bring in canned, but not bottled, foie gras before those diseases. The reason for canned instead of bottled is the higher processing temperature.
Once we brought home foie gras from France, and when we told the agent at Customs he said "Foie what?" So I said, "You know, like pate," and he said fine.
I came in through Dallas/Ft.Worth

There is a perception in the supplement industry that in order for a supplement to be effective, it has to be something that your body can't naturally produce. However, this couldn't be further from the truth; some of the most well-researched and effective supplements, ranging from creatine and amino acids to vitamin D, can be produced by your body barring an exceptional medical condition. The reason for this is because your body often has natural limitations on how much of these substances it can produce. A primary example of this phenomenon is glutathione. Glutathione is a peptide synthesized from three different amino acids, and it can be made by your body in large quantities – so large that it is present in every one of your body's cells. However, the production of glutathione is limited by the amounts of the three amino acids – cysteine, glycine and glutamatic acid – your body possesses. And though glutathione can be produced by entirely natural means, it still has the potential to produce many glutathione benefits.
Glutathione Benefits: Effective Antioxidant
The most powerful of the glutathione benefits, for which most people take glutathione supplements, is the peptide's role as an antioxidant. Glutathione is far from the only antioxidant, but research suggests it is a particularly effective one. Antioxidants are responsible for protecting your body from the detrimental effects of molecules known as free radicals, which can cause permanent damage to essential cells. Unfortunately, the threat of free radicals is quite widespread, as even activities with clear benefits, such as running, lifting weights and other athletic endeavors, can trigger the release of free radicals. Free radicals promote disease and sickness, and research from the November 2009 issue of Antioxidants & Redox Signaling suggests that glutathione is particularly beneficial for addressing the harmful effects of aging, neurological conditions and liver disease. Of course, you should consult a doctor before using glutathione or any other supplements in an attempt to offset disease (1).
Another benefit of glutathione is that it may help regenerate antioxidants as they fend off free radicals, thus increasing your ability to battle cell damage and disease (2). Because conditions as serious as cancer have been linked to free radical activity, the benefit of a supplement such as glutathione is great.
Glutathione Benefits and Chronic Disease
Glutathione may also be helpful for addressing the side effects of chemotherapy; one study found that supplementation of glutathione helped reduce the incidence of chemotherapy side effects and promoted enhanced rates of survival. Glutathione has also been suggested as a potentially effective treatment for conditions including cataracts, high blood pressure and neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's (3). The role of glutathione in protecting cells may also help offset feelings of fatigue and may promote improved function of your immune system.
Glutathione Benefits and Exercise
Glutathione benefits are most evident when paired with exercise, as this strenuous activity produces free radicals. Additionally, glutathione may also have benefits for improving sports performance, such as increasing strength, reducing necessary recovery time, enhancing endurance and promoting the acquisition of lean muscle mass rather than body fat (2).
If this data gives you the impression that glutathione is a highly beneficial supplement, then you've drawn a conclusion supported by a growing body of research. Even with these benefits, though, you should consult a doctor prior to using glutathione supplements and should not use it as a replacement for medical treatments recommended by a licensed medical professional.

Literature and Cognitive Difference
Accompanying the popular recent attention to autism and neurological disorders has been the publication of numerous novels and nonfiction works by and about persons with such disabilities. The list includes Oliver Sacks's scientific tales, Mark Haddon's best-selling novel The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, Jayne Anne Phillips's Lark and Termite, Richard Powers's The Echo Maker, Paul and Judy Karasik's The Ride Together, and others. The emergence of the neurodiversity movement has provided new perspectives and paradigms for scholars in the field.
For this panel I seek essays on fictional and non-fictional texts by or about persons with autism, traumatic brain injury, amnesia, intellectual impairment, and other neurological differences. How do these texts represent memory, identity and consciousness? What innovative formal devices do their authors employ to render the disabled person's point of view? How do texts narrated from outside the disabled person's point of view generate empathy or understanding? I am especially interested in papers on contemporary works, but will consider essays on earlier texts such as The Sound and the Fury and the like, if they address cognitive disability, preferably from a Disability Studies standpoint. Send a 250-word abstract and brief CV to Mark Osteen, firstname.lastname@example.com by May 15, 2013.

I know this issue has been discussed recently in other threads but I just did a search on "wax" and found nothing.
Anyway, I do like hot waxing my chains because it is so clean. However, I agree with Sheldon Brown that wax is likely not as good a lubricant as liquid oil-based lubricants. I assume that the theory is that the liquified wax penetrates into the spaces between the chain plates and between the pins & rollers. When the wax cools, it solidifies providing a lubricant that dirt is unlikely to stick to.
What concerns me is that when the chain is put in tension, the extreme pressure between the pins & rollers extrudes the wax out of this space. While a liquid lube could be wicked back into the space (through capillary action or whatever), once the solid wax is expelled, there is nothing to cause it to re-enter the pin/roller space. That is why I think hot wax is inferior to liquid lube.
I looked at some old posts on T@H on home grown hot wax recipies. Most are based on about 80% parrafin with about 10% of mineral oil & 10% Vaseline. I guess this makes the parrafin "greasier".
Some other posts suggested adding 10% or so a beeswax. One poster recommended against 100% beeswax (don't know why). What is the
I then thought about toilet bowl wax rings. I don't really know what this stuff is made of but the consistency is about half way between parrafin and Vaseline. Wax rings are cheap and I decided to experiment with an old chain. I melted the wax ring in boiling water I dropped a chain in. It seemed that the melting point of the wax ring was slightly above parrafin (it barely liquified in boiling water). I pulled the chain out & let most of the excess drip off. When it cooled, the chain was well coated with the stuff & had a slightly greasy feel to it. I have not yet tried the chain on a bike. It may work better to put the wax & chain into the oven at about 250 degrees F or so to more completely melt the wax & reduce the viscosity.
Does anyone know what wax toilet bowl rings are made of? Is this a silly idea? Am I likely to defeat the purpose of hot waxing because this wax is greasier than parrafin?
Anyway, on my way home tonight, I'll likely pick up some parrafin, Vaseline & mineral oil.
