Richmond crawls out of Cairns after bank job goes awry
- From: Herald Sun
- July 16, 2012
RICHMOND might say it wasn't the venue, but it can't be ignored.
For roughly $500,000, which is about what the Tigers receive for playing a "home" game in Cairns, the Tigers gave up four points, for surely they would have won had it been played at the MCG.
Tigers coach Damien Hardwick said he felt like "God was conspiring against us".
No, it was a humid Cairns, a lack of depth, and a lack of conviction, leadership and strategy in the final moments that conspired against Richmond.
Only Dire Straits ever thought you could get Money for Nothing.
Certainly, the Tigers pocket the cash, and they need it as they wipe out millions in debt, but they gave up plenty for it.
What price? Finals?

A potential Essendon versus Richmond elimination final at the 'G? Or Richmond versus St Kilda?
Ironically, it was one of the game's highest-paid players, Karmichael Hunt, who kicked the winner.
The code-jumper probably made front pages in newspapers north of this border and, indeed, made the front page of the sports liftout in the Sunday Herald Sun.
Everyone loves a fairytale and this time it was the ice-cool Hunt, the bloke who many said would never make it.
The Tigers might be accused of compromising victory on two fronts, but they won't apologise.
Playing in Cairns, they say, is a sound financial decision, as was the decision to suspend Dustin Martin for mixing alcohol and sleeping tablets and missing training.
With Martin playing, they probably win.
With more money they can eradicate debt and begin investing more in their football department which, like the Martin decision, has long-term advantages.
Today, they seem very long-term.
Saturday night's defeat is not the end of the campaign, but a loss to the previously winless Gold Coast tells us Richmond doesn't deserve to play finals.
A defeat to North Melbourne at MCG on Sunday might officially end it.
Yes, the loss to Gold Coast was depressing for all involved with Richmond and, as usual, it prompted fury from fans.
It is the realisation yet again their team is not good enough.
For roughly $500,000, which is about what the Tigers receive for playing a "home" game in Cairns, the Tigers gave up four points, for surely they would have won had it been played at the MCG.
Good sides don't cough up two goals in less than a minute. And for that the finger can pointed at everyone.
Players made skill errors. They didn't play safe football. And when momentum was lost, they didn't act accordingly.
Down-the-ground footage would tell us more about how the defensive set-up failed.
What we saw was Brandon Matera cross back into the corridor for Karmichael Hunt to mark.
Hunt's opponent appeared to be Bachar Houli, who charged towards the boundary line to cut off a potential Matera grubber.
The Tigers had pushed players into defence from the centre bounce, but they didn't push to help cover Hunt, or the space around him.
It wasn't Houli's fault alone, for he would have believed his teammates would cover him.
They didn't. Hunt goaled. And the scene post-match, as players swarmed on Hunt and the coach's box erupted, was priceless viewing.
There was euphoria and pride on one hand and utter desolation and disbelief on the other.
It was football's moment of the season.
It was a fairytale and everyone, other than Tigers, couldn't help but smile.
What if it happened to Murphy?
Of all the discussion surrounding Chris Judd's arm-bender on Leigh Adams, former coach Terry Wallace asked a most pertinent question.
''What if the Kangaroos players did the same to Marc Murphy?'' he asked on SEN.
When Kangas forward Drew Petrie was basically told of the different hypothetical circumstance, in view that Murphy had just returned from a shoulder operation, he responded with: ''Well said.''
The Kangaroos didn't want to lend their thoughts to the argument, and they really couldn't, not after the shinboner of the century, Glenn Archer, last week complained about the disappearance of the cone of silence among players.
That said; we know the Kangaroos are angry.
The immediate response from Jamie MacMillan, Robbie Tarrant and the skipper Andrew Swallow was obvious enough.
Judd, the one-time golden boy, has made another error and he will be punished with suspension.
His actions just like the pressure point exercise, is not acceptable.
He is not an unintelligent man, Judd. He knows if you bend an arm backward and high it will inflict pain. Who knows, another inch or two, he could've broken Adam's arm from the socket.
Adams could not defend himself and Judd took advantage of that.
At worst, it was ruthless and calculated move to hurt Adams. At best, he grabbed Adams to restrict movement and went too far.
There is not a specific charge for Judd's action, other than wide-ranging term of misconduct, and it's likely to end up at the tribunal.
If Judd is penalised by the match review panel, which does not require any testimony from him, you can expect him to front the media as soon as possible afterwards to explain his actions.
At the moment, too many people are refraining from criticising Judd because of his standing in the game.
He is a champ, no doubt, but most would agree it was a shameful and cheap shot.
He is said to be shattered by what happened. He should be.
It was a serious misjudgement and his reputation has taken a significant hit.
IT seems Jason Akermanis cannot let the past go.
His dislike for what happened at the Western Bulldogs and some of the people involved is well documented, and
now Luke Darcy, who Akermanis played one season with at the Bulldogs (2007), is in the gun.
On Saturday night, and before venturing to a Chinese restaurant for dinner, Aker heaped vile via his Twitter account.
The topic was Darcy and Aker let fly:
''@JAkermanis Is thinking. One of the worse blokes I have dealt with. He think arrrmmm is a word. Absolute flog! F...wit would be kind. Crap bloke.''
And followed up with: ''I actually did say to Darcy's face that he is a tool, f..wit and a p...k! All my team mates just laughed and clapped. Don't know why!''
Banter between Akermanis and some Twitter punters introduced long-time teammate Brad Johnson to the discussion.
Andrew Sertori tweeted to Aker: ''I know u dont like darcy but brad johnson is just as bad if u ask me, bloody annoying"
Akermanis replied: ''you are right.''
Then this from Tigerwhite1977: ''Brad Johnson always struck me as selfish, especially as he reached the end.
Your thoughts?"
Akermanis: ''Pretty much spot on.''
Perhaps mindful that Twitter is not just about dumping on people, Akermanis tried to level the ledger.
''There are lots of players in the AFL I like. Not enough characters to List them all. Dale Morris, Nick Maxwell for starters,'' he wrote.
B: Grant Birchall, Darren Glass, Brent Reilly
HB: Heath Shaw, Ted Richards, Beau Waters
C: Dane Swan, Jobe Watson, Trent Cotchin.
HF: Dayne Beams, Lance Franklin, Lewis Jetta
F: Nick Riewoldt, Matthew Pavlich, Cyril Rioli
Foll: Dean Cox, Scott Thompson, Gary Ablett
Inter: Sam Jacobs, Scott Pendlebury, Sam Mitchell, Joel Selwood
Apologies go to Hayes, Wells, Deledio, Stanton, Dangerfield, Betts, Josh Kennedy, Milne, McPharlin, Gibson, Jack and Walker among others.
I like to put players in their positions, and only Dayne Beams on a forward flank is the debatable player ''out of position'' seeing as he is more midfield/forward than in his regular position of high half-forward.
Debate also would surround the selection of Cyril Rioli, but unlike others I don't tend to use stats as my base. Rioli kicks goals and assists goals with his moderate amount of touches.
His defensive work is first class, if not the best in the league as a small forward.
It's why I had him ahead of Eddie Betts and Stephen Milne.
The rest, I'd argue, choose themselves.
1. The Swans.
Once again, when the Swans win we try to find excuses for the opposition. No more. The Swans are real and a serious premiership threat. They share the ball, support each other, handball instinctively and cleanly, have multiple goalkickers, a stern defence, and Mumford rolling into form. We mentioned their array of goalkickers in this column four weeks ago, and yesterday they had another 11 in disposing of the Eagles. It's a pity their home finals will be played at the Olympic venue and not at the SCG.
2. Karmichael Hunt.
Still got a smile when I watched it again last night. An elite sportsman, he completed an elite job. His teammate Campbell Brown liked it. ''Amazing game tonight. Great to have a win. @karmichaelhunt has ice running through his veins. Never in doubt,'' he tweeted. Kangaroos Hamish McIntosh looked for pointers. ''Ah so that's how you do it Karmicheal, #teachmehowtokickafterthesiren,'' he tweeted. Had a close look again and Hunt's coolness was extraordinary, as was his celebration as his teammates quickly climbed all over him . #momentoftheyear
3. Chris Tarrant.
The move forward worked for Collingwood and it was helped by Ben Reid and Nathan Brown who were able to hold down the key positions at the back. Was it coincidence Dawes was able to play his best game for two months with Tarrant joining him and Travis Cloke in the forward line? For three seasons that role went to Leigh Brown, and maybe Tarrant will be used in that role from herein. His leading up the ground and the need to play an opponent on him opened up the forward line and helped keep the area one-on-one.
4. Drew Petrie.
Turned Michael Jamison inside out, and then kicked goals on Henderson. Clearly his best game of the season; and his haul of seven goals was his best since kicking seven against the Western Bulldogs in Round 13, 2007. My only issue with Petrie is his inconsistency. He couldn't find it in a dangerous spot against West Coast in Hobart (zero goals) and kicks seven the week after. He has had a solid year and has 36 goals, but needs to play more like Friday night if the Kangas are to make finals and then make an impression in them.
5. Michael Walters.
The kid obviously has talent, but didn't have the aptitude, so coach Ross Lyon told him to reset it in the WAFL. It might've had something to do with Lyon's ''big bum'' theory, which he used on Clancee Pearce in the off-season. If Walters' 14-possessions and three goals is the type of football we'll get from him, the penance has been paid.
6. Cats visiting Adelaide.
The arrival of Scott, Bartel and Selwood tells us one thing: The Cats haven't got Travis Boak over the line. Why would they go to Adelaide if they had him? I like it because media folk can stop accusing Boak of living a lie. He's told Port Adelaide and his teammates he hasn't made up his mind and I believe him. The Cats played a big card yesterday by jumping on a plane and making a heart-felt plea. Port Adelaide, meanwhile, remain confident. At the moment I'm favouring he stays.
7. Cotchin v Ablett.
The best players going head-to-head is a welcome return to football as taggers take a back seat. Cotchin v Ablett was the sub plot in the enthralling finish, but the win goes to Cotchin. He had 38 touches to Ablett's 33, and only played 72 per cent of the game. Ablett won clearances and tackles, but Cotchin for a period seemed to carry his whole team.
8. Good umpiring.
In the dying minutes on Saturday night, Collingwood's Dale Thomas ducked his head into Joel Corey and the umpire called played on. It was a brilliant decision because Thomas clearly initiated the contact. It's a start anyway because there were other examples in other games of players ducking their heads and play-on was called.
9. Scott Gumbleton.
The football world loves a fighter, and this weekend there was two of them: Karmichael Hunt and Scott Gumbleton. The Bombers big man's last game was Round 18, 2010, and there were fears he would not get back on the park. He kicked three goals, the first resulting in a celebration akin to a first-gamer kicking his first goal. The issue is: Does he stay in the side? The Dons have Hurley and Crameri to come back, they like to play Ryder forward and as second ruck, they have Bellchambers and Hille in the ruck, and Fletcher, Hooker and Carlisle in defence. If Gumbleton can kick goals, maybe Hurley goes back to defence.
10. Richo.
Matthew Richardson loves the players' perspective and it's why he never overly criticises. He is the goodness in a world of football media angst. He can, however, jumble his words -- he's not alone there -- and it's why I was pleased he was able to deliver the following to describe Steve Johnson's banana attempt at goal. ''That was drop punt country,'' Richo said. Bet he doesn't try that again.
Honorable mentions: Lenny Hayes, Ahmed Saad's soccer skills, Heath Shaw, Leigh Adams' work ethic, Matthew Wright's arrival, Ben Howlett yet again, Colin Sylvia's resurgence, Chris Mayne's courage, same with Trent McKenzie, and Collingwood.
1. Knees.
Carlton's Michael Jamison decided to drop the knees on Drew Petrie and for that he deserves a period on the sidelines. It was a weak act because he tried to hurt a bloke on the deck. It was an act of yesteryear and for those who can remember, or who have watched the Sensational Seventies, it was common place. Brisbane's Daniel Merrett might escape report because it was awkward/reckless and he had knees and arms into the back of Nick Riewoldt. Still, it wasn't great to look at.
2. Stefan Martin.
Kudos for a wonderful game, which included 19 touches, 26 hit outs, seven marks, five clearances, two goals and being a general around the ground. But why can't we see more it? He has played just five games this year because of injury and poor form, and then he goes bang and is close to Melbourne's best player. Melbourne's problems stem from players like Martin. He has the talent to dominate games, but does it every so often, leaving people to ask why. Maybe he's suited to be the sole ruckman, like we have seen with other big men this year, namely Jacobs and Maric.
3. Carlton.
Blues fans would feel sick to the guts after that insipid effort, which followed the previous week's spirited effort against Collingwood. The same intensity wasn't there at the ball, or in their want to defend. Too many easy goals for the Kangaroos and too many times the midfield did not push back to defend. And it's going to get worse because Judd and Jamison will surely miss this weekend, and that's on top of Andrew Walker going down with a leg injury.
4. Ricky Nixon's life.
To borrow a line and I will get pilloried for it, but Nixon's situation is a sad one and he needs whatever help he needs. I recently did a charity event with him, Eddie McGuire, Sam Newman and Andrew Demetriou -- it was in my home town of Bendigo -- and Nixon had organised the lot. He spoke of getting his life back on track, but said he had found it difficult. This latest bust reads badly for him and the full story will emerge in the coming days. Five charges, though, suggests life is far from under control.
5. Channel 7.
The Chris Judd story was the story of the night, which probably robbed the Kangaroos of their limelight, and Channel Seven didn't handle it accordingly. The commentary treated is as some magical act by Judd and did some chuckling, and while other media outlets grabbed Leigh Adams post-match, the footy network didn't go near him. They generally do big footy stories well -- remember Malthouse and Milne? – but they missed the significance of this one. The sports world was talking about it that night and the next day.
6. The Bulldogs.
Another game, another hideous result. This time by 72 points. The Bulldogs' season has fallen apart. They have lost their past four games by 254 points and six weeks ago it was 92 points against the Swans. The Hawks munched them without Buddy Franklin. The game style, while sound in theory, is not working with the group, and the rebuild under Brendan McCartney will take longer than most thought. They have Carlton, St Kilda and North Melbourne ahead so life is not getting any easier.
7. Bad umpiring.
My promise not to talk about umpires is well broken. So, when Jack Riewoldt grabbed Michael Warnock in the goal square, while Luke McGuane took the mark, why didn't the umpire pay a free kick? If it was a defender doing the same to a forward it would have definitely been paid a free kick. Then in the final quarter, Riewoldt was bodied off the marking contest and was paid a free kick for in the back, and duly kicked the goal. Commentator Dermott Brereton said Riewoldt went down ''like he was shot''. Warnock, meanwhile, was in a bear hug. Terrible decisions.
8. Tom Hawkins' kicking.
It's a broken record, but the Tomahawk is too hit and miss with his goalkicking. He kicked some rippers from distance at Gold Coast the week before and then shanks two against Collingwood in the first quarter. He might not have made the difference if he kicked them, but it has to help. His former captain Cameron Ling acknowledged the problem. ''It's the next step he has to take,'' Ling said, meaning if Hawkins wants to be regarded as a great footballer he needs to kick the goals.
9. Shocking Sunday.
Three games for a collective losing margin of 243 points. That's not good. At least next week is, according to Fox Footy, Christmas in July. All top eight teams play each other, kicking off with Friday night when Geelong takes on Essendon at Etihad.
10. Tom Waterhouse.
He's still on my bloody TV.

Cumberland Farms settles with state over underground storage tanksStaff Report | March 01,2013MONTPELIER - Cumberland Farms will pay the state $150,000 in civil penalties for multiple violations related to monitoring of its underground gasoline storage tanks at 10 of its Vermont convenience stores, the Vermont Attorney General's office announced Friday.
Most of the 39 violations relate to Cumberland Farms' failure to conduct and maintain documentation of release detection monitoring of tanks and associated piping at a number of its stores, and failure to report to the Agency of Natural resources and investigate incidents involving release detection monitoring system alarms.
The Agency of Natural Resources discovered the violations during regular inspections of Cumberland Farms' facilities located in Barre, Fairlee, Lyndon, Montpelier, Morrisville, Northfield, Newport, St. Johnsbury, and Woodstock conducted between 2005 and 2010.
Under the court-approved settlement, Cumberland Farms admits 39 violations of the state's underground storage tank rules, will pay the state a civil penalty of $150,000, and will implement a compliance plan designed to ensure that all of its facilities remain in compliance with the law.MORE IN This Just In

Finally, I was able to ski during July, not to mention that I came from Portland Oregon, I could have skied at Timberline during July?
I booked a flight from Sydney to Cooma via Aeropelican, they flew a 19 seats twin propeller JetStreamer 21 aircraft. My inbound flight was delayed for over 3 hours due to the fact of early morning fog and Aeropelican only had one aircraft for the route. My outbound flight was a bit bumpy because of the weather condition. Either way, I did not meet other skier on board, I was wondering where are the skiers. Anyway, the other alternative from Sydney to Thredbo was via Greyhound AU for AUD120 each way, it took 7.5 hours each way too. My flight costed AUD150 each way, and AUD 120 round trip for the shuttle to and from Cooma airport to the Thredbo village. Flight duration is 60 minutes as advertised, the shuttle took over one hour each way, and the scenic way was worth the drive. I am not going to mention the cost of lodging and meal, they are disgustingly expensive, more than the most place in North America.
When the shuttle bus stopped at the Koscuiszko national park gate, it hit me that why everything was so expensive, because the village is located inside a national park. Overnight, I heard a loud sound similar to ocean surf, it was the snow gun working overnight. Wow, no wonder the lift tickets were expensive too.
I followed the shuttle bus driver's advice to get on the lift by 8:30am, there was not much waiting at the Valley Terminal, so it was a breeze to go up on the Koscuiszko express to reach the eagles nest.
I took the Supertrail down, under some shadow area, ice has already formed. I ventured around the mountain to gunbarrel in Friday Flat until the snow was gone on some small trails. That was it.
I think it worth to ski at Thredbo once for your life time, but it did not deserve my return trip.

FCC Says It Won't Lift Prohibition on LightSquared Operations
The Federal Communications Commission said it won't lift a prohibition on commercial services by billionaire Philip Falcone's LightSquared Inc.
The commission's determination follows a recommendation from other federal agencies that LightSquared causes interference to global-positioning systems, Tammy Sun, an FCC spokeswoman, said today in an e-mailed statement. The FCC statement came after an Obama administration adviser found that the GPS interference couldn't be mitigated.
LightSquared's proposed deployment would disrupt navigation gear including equipment used by aircraft, Lawrence Strickling, administrator of the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, said in a letter today to the FCC. The FCC has final say over whether Reston, Virginia-based LightSquared may begin commercial operations.

There are three projective invariants of a set of six points in general position in space. It is well known that these invariants cannot be recovered from one image, however an invariant relationship does exist between space invariants and image invariants. This invariant relationship is first derived for a single image. Then this invariant relationship is used to derive the space invariants, when multiple images are available. This paper establishes that the minimum number of images for computing these invariants is three, and the computation of invariants of six points from three images can have as many as three solutions. Algorithms are presented for computing these invariants in closed form. The accuracy and stability with respect to image noise, selection of the triplets of images and distance between viewing positions are studied both through real and simulated images. Applications of these invariants are also presented. Both the results of Faugeras (1992) and Hartley et al. (1992) for projective reconstruction and Sturm's method (1869) for epipolar geometry determination from two uncalibrated images with at least seven points are extended to the case of three uncalibrated images with only six points

This application note discusses the use of the BioTek Precision XS Liquid Handler and the Epoch Microplate Spectrophotometer to validate automation and monochromator detection of a Freshness Assay. In addition, the Epoch 2 has been verified to produce equivalent calculated results for the assay. Challenge test data using a variety of sample matrices and experimental conditions suggest that the combination of BioTek instrumentation and the Freshness Assay offer an effective screening and analytical tool for diverse seafood freshness testing requirements, typical of many food quality control or research environments.

CITRA, Fla. (AP) - The Florida Highway Patrol's investigation into the central Florida school bush crash that killed one student and injured 11 more could take up to 30 days to complete.
FHP spokesman Patrick Riordan says the probe is still in its "infancy stage" and that officials "want to conduct a thorough and lawful investigation into the incident and are not going to rush."
There were 21 students on the bus when authorities say 30-year-old Reinaldo Gonzalez's tractor-trailer rear-ended it Tuesday. Both vehicles caught fire.
A preliminary FHP report says Gonzalez told investigators he was on his cell phone just before the crash. Gonzalez has not been charged.
The girl killed was identified as 13-year-old middle school student Frances M. Schee.

We tripped over this sweet little yarn shop and did our part to support the local economy.
We wanted to take our stir crazy pups for a hike in the mountains. The road was closed to the destination we were hoping for so we just drove around until we found a little street with a big open field. After that, we found a small yarn shop and then got a recommendation for a really nice restaurant where we had dinner.

We've been working on integrating WordPress Multiuser with our Shibboleth authentication process here at Johns Hopkins University for the last four months, off and on. I've combed through the plugin, line by line, and understand how it works rather well at this point.
For some reason, even though
shibboleth_authenticate_user() is passing back a valid
WP_User object, which gets passed back to
shibboleth_authenticate(), which passes it back to the
authenticate filter, the user still gets dropped back at wp-login.php and is asked to enter a WordPress username and password.

I'm courious if there is any recommendation to configure fresh Ubuntu Server (date, hosts, networking) before "apt-get upgrade" or there is no difference?
Update everything first. Some upgrades will often ask you if you want to replace your configuration files with their new default configurations, and that can be a headache to decide.
Save yourself the trouble; update first, then configure. The only exception should be choosing a custom update mirror :)

Moving Forward: Six Steps to Forgiving Yourself and Breaking Free from the Past (Paperback)
I can never forgive myself, she said. Every time I think about it, I get sick to my stomach.
I knew that feeling. I had felt it due to my own failures and shortcomings. I also knew I could help her, because I know that sometimes the hardest person to forgive is yourself.
The partial truth about us is hard to accept: We hurt those we love. We fail to step in when others need us most. We do wrong and we need forgiveness. From others and from God, but also from ourselves.
But the "full" truth about us is liberating and freeing: while we are more deeply flawed than we can imagine, we also are far more valuable and cherished than we can comprehend. To reach the place of self-forgiveness, we must embrace this truth. The gift of God's acceptance frees us from self-blame, guilt, and shame.
In this practical, inspiring book, Dr. Everett Worthington identifies six steps to forgiving yourself:
. Receive God's forgiveness
. Repair relationships
. Rethink ruminations
. REACH emotional self-forgiveness
. Rebuild self-acceptance
. Resolve to live virtuously
Weaving his own story of struggling with his brother's suicide and his overwhelming feelings of regret, together with psychological insight, scientific research, and biblical truth, Dr. Worthington opens a clear path to freedom from self-condemnation to self-acceptance and most importantly, to the full life that Christ promises.
About the Author
Everett L. Worthington Jr. (Ph.D., University of Missouri) is professor of psychology at Virginia Commonwealth University. He is a licensed clinical psychologist and former executive director of the Templeton Foundation's A Campaign for Forgiveness Research. Worthington has studied forgiveness since the 1980s and has published more than two hundred articles and papers on forgiveness, marriage and family, psychotherapy and virtue in a wide variety of journals and magazines. He was the founding editor ofMarriage and Family: A Christian Journal and sits on the editorial boards of several professional journals. He has appeared on Good Morning America, CNN and The 700 Club and been featured in award-winning documentary movies on forgiveness such as The Power of Forgiveness and The Big Question. He is the author of seventeen books including Handbook of Forgiveness, Hope-Focused Marriage Counseling and Forgiving and Reconciling.
Praise For…
Praise for Moving Forward
"A compassionate and very personal examination of the hows and whys of self-forgiveness. Blending the sensitivity of a counselor with the rigor of a scientist is no easy accomplishment, and that is what has made Everett Worthington the most sought-after expert on forgiveness for nearly two decades. Read this book and learn how to move forward in your own journey of self-forgiveness."
—Robert Emmons, editor-in-chief of The Journal of Positive Psychology, author of Gratitude Works! and Thanks! How Practicing Gratitude Can Make You Happier
"Why do we see the need to forgive others while overlooking the importance of forgiving ourselves? Everett Worthington knows from hard experience that both are necessary, but neither is easy. Now you can benefit from his years of research—as well as life-tested application—in taking the only path that will free you from shame and self-condemnation."
—Dr. Tim Clinton, president of the American Association of Christian Counselors, executive director of the Center for Counseling and Family Studies at Liberty University
"Researcher-clinician Everett Worthington, the world's leading expert on the science and practice of forgiveness, now points the way to self-forgiveness. For those of us who are painfully aware of our flaws—and that's most of us—this grace-filled book shows how to lighten the burden of self-blame and guilt, how to discover and embrace God's love, and how to experience healing."
—David G. Myers, Hope College social psychologist, author of A Friendly Letter to Skeptics and Atheists
"Who doesn't know the feeling of being stuck in a rut or weighed down with self-condemnation? This book is for all of us who are honest enough to confess our need to make peace with ourselves. Dr. Worthington has suffered through darkness and now uses the story of his personal pain to light the way for all of us. Read Moving Forward and join him on the inspiring journey of self-forgiveness and true peace."
—Les Parrott, PhD, author of Shoulda Coulda Woulda

5 Ways to Make Your Own Fabric Labels
Whether you craft for gifts, to sell at craft fairs, or run a small business, a beautiful fabric label can add the perfect finishing touch. Fabric labels are important for brand recognition and often the only way to identify who made the product. You should proudly display your name or logo on all products you make.
It is amazingly easy to make a small run of your own fabric labels. I have found 5 great tutorials for making fabric labels. A few material substitutions and any of these tutorials can help you make eco-friendly fabric labels. With each tutorial I will give material recommendations and tips for making them greener.
- Allyson Hill shows us how to make sophisticated DIY fabric labels using an ink-jet printer and printable fabric roll. Make it greener: Use the 100% Silk Habotai PhotoFabric Roll,instead of the cotton poplin the author used. Try dipping label edges in watered-down EcoGlue to prevent fraying.
- Sew Take A Hike offers a Washable Label Tutorial using printable fabric with tips for making labels colorfast and washable. Make it greener: Try making your own printable fabric with 100% organic cotton with the HP Making Printable Fabric tutorial. Check out Near Sea Naturals Pre-cut & Clearance section for great deals on sustainable fabrics. The tutorial recommends cotton fabric. To make natural fabrics, like cotton and silk, colorfast HP and a few of the above tutorials recommend using Bubble Jet Set 2000. They say it is 85% water and contains ingredients found in regular laundry detergent, but they still recommend good ventilation and rubber gloves. If the labels are going on a product that is not washable, then I recommend skipping this step.
- Patchwork Pottery shows how to make fabric labels with iron-on transfer paper. Make it greener: Using iron-on transfers for your labels allows you greater flexibility with the material. Try using 100% organic cotton bias tape or twill tape from Near Sea Naturals available in a variety of widths.
- Carina's Craftblog has a cute label tutorial using a self-inking DIY stamp. Using your own stamp is a great way to print your logo on a variety of substrates. You can have a stamp made with your logo or even your own handwriting at most office supply stores. Make it greener: Order a Green Line Eco-friendly self-inking stamp made from post-consumer recycled plastic with water-based inks. At a minimum look for a water-based fabric ink pad or ink that you can apply to the stamp with a brayer. Also, skip the fusible web altogether. Machine stitch or hand-sew your labels in place.
- My personal favorite for ingenuity and simplicity is Make Something's tutorial for typewriter fabric labels. If you have a typewriter this is definitely worth a try. Make it greener: Use remnant fabric from your stash. If you have to buy new fabric, choose 100% organic cotton.

55 Responses to 5 Ways to Make Your Own Fabric Labels
I love this blog! I do have a question/comment on the 3rd technique. I am currently making my labels with transfer paper and I was actually searching a more sustainable eco-friendly way. This transfer foil is really plastic and when you heat it you can smell the chemicals in the glueing/melting process. So if anyone has better products to suggest… I will be more than happy to hear it.

Vintage Wednesday #17
Today for Vintage Wednesday I'd like to share another favorite dress of mine. This is one of my favorite dresses to wear in the winter because of the shockingly bright colors. The end of winter is always so dull and grey, so I say why not dress up as bright as possible? I always get a ton of compliments when I wear this dress, but at the same time I get just as many "what is she wearing?!" stares. I love it. I have to admit that sometimes I get a small thrill from turning heads with my outfits. Not in a conceited, 'ohhhh people are looking at me' way. I mean in a, 'wow this pattern has made an impact on someone today' way. I always enjoy when people come up to me and tell me what my dress reminds them of/makes them think about.
I think the dress may be handmade as it doesn't have a label on the inside.
I decided to pair the dress with my new vintage hat and a pink coat that I thirfted many years back.
Then I went on a super secret adventure down a long hallway.
And I wore some accessories.
You know what makes this dress even more amazing?
It has a flower petal collar! I love it!
During the photo shoot NES started to misbehave...
But then he just started being cute.
I hope you've enjoyed this addition of Vintage Wednesday! Check back next week for more vintage fun!
The Breakdown:
Dress: Thrifted
Coat: Thrifted
Pink Shoes: Thrifted
Hat & Belt: Ebay
Scarf & Necklace: Thrifted
Earrings: Express
P.S. The patch on the coat is a giraffe. I tried to iron the coat once and didn't realize that it was a flammable material. Instead of ironing it I managed to burn a hole in it. So I put a patch over the burn mark.

I was reading an article on Linux Journal about Memcached and it mentions Netbooting multiple servers off a single root image:
LiveJournal's Web nodes are all diskless, Netbooting off a common yet redundant NFS root image. Not only is this cheaper, but it requires significantly less maintenance.
How does this work with logging? Does each node write to the same place? What about configuring static ip addresses? If machine A writes to the disk, does machine B pick it up? When he says "web node" does he mean just the web server? I'm assuming this means the web application as well (PHP/Perl), correct?
Is this even a good idea (with mostly using RAM)?
Can this same thing be done with iSCISI?

Off-Campus Housing:
Generally, West Campus has really some nice places. ACC owns a lot of things right next to campus, but be warned; the properties may be super nice, but the biggest complaint is that the staff is completely incompetent. A lot of the people who work there are ill-trained students, and there's always some kind of problem. Either the elevator is out for the week, there's no hot water, or in our case there was a ridiculous noise that we couldn't get rid of without calling maintenance 3 different times.Another downside is the price; most rooms run $800-$1000 even if you're sharing with someone else. Despite that, off-campus housing gives you the privacy of your own bathroom or sharing with only one person. You can often get your own room and get a washer-dryer far away from the thievery in on-campus laundry rooms.
Off-Campus Dining:
There's a lot of places to eat on the Drag, and you can always take the 801 further up Guad if you get tired of the food right near campus. Some of the restaurants can get pretty expensive, but when you're a student, you can get the Hooked App to get discounts on tons of food.
Depending on each major and department, the administration can be good or bad. My experience with guidance counselors has been a horrible mess because we use general ones who don't know anything about our class requirements, but other majors have counselors who cater to them specifically. Everything you could need has an office and the administration is fairly organized, and there really is a department for everything.Side note, the UT Health Center is pretty bad. My friends and I have all had bad experiences there where we were misdiagnosed or the staff was just unhelpful.
Good luck getting ANY money out of UT. When people do get scholarships, they're usually less than $1000. Even the ones that they try to encourage you to apply for with have some term or something that wasn't revealed until it was too late to do anything about it - there goes your money.
Party Scene:
If you're a girl, you can pretty much walk onto West Campus and get into a party--there's always something going on. Alcohol is easy to come by and can sometimes be pushy. I don't party during the week, but a lot of people show up to class Hungover on a Tuesday. Goes to show there's something pretty much every night.
Campus Food:
The food that they serve when you visit the school is always better than what you get to eat while you're here. The buffet options are J2 and Kinsolving, both of which offer some decent options. Unfortunately, the quality of the food varies, so a good item one day could be bad the next. Cypress Bend and Littlefield Patio are higher quality, but they're ridiculously expensive. You might as well walk the few blocks over to West Campus if you're going to spend the money.
Campus Housing:
I don't live on campus, but I have plenty of friends who do and I occasionally eat at the dining halls. The Honors Quad is the nicest--even though you have a community bath, the people there tend be really clean and quiet. Kinsolving, Duren, and Whitis (the "north" campus) are great for students in Communication and Engineering because all of the buildings are right there and they're all decent. Kinsolving is girls-only, but they do offer a shared bath option which is an upgrade from community showers! Jester is where you'll stay for Orientation; it has the most perks, but also the biggest flaws. The rooms are tiny, it's always loud, and it's usually pretty disgusting. However, it's in the middle of literally everything, you can roll out of bed and get to class in five minutes, and it's the biggest, which means a lot more chances to meet new people.
Off-Campus Housing:
I have yet to experience off-campus housing, but from what I have heard and seen I can say that most people enjoy the added freedom, though its distance from campus and cost sometimes affects overall enjoyment.
Off-Campus Dining:
The location of most off-campus dining is definitely on "The Drag," that is Guadalupe Street which runs along campus. On the Drag, one can find foods from any country and style, ranging from a Japanese Tea Shop to a Diner Styled Restaurant. Some of the most well known places on the Drag that people usually check out are Austin's Pizza, Noodles & Company, and Kirby Lane.
Despite being in the center of one of the liveliest cities in Texas, campus administration is not overly strict nor too lenient. The campus makes sure to enforce rules that are easier to manage and also will make a greater impact on students though also makes sure to allow students have liberties regarding social events and demonstrations.
Overall, the financial aid process was quite smooth, both in having it delivered and securing it. There are sometimes some confusion when going through the process though, due to that confirmation is through a special online venue, though after a while one becomes adjusted to it. The financial aid office is also quite friendly and help in any issue one has.
Party Scene:
Even though UT is known as a party school, I personally have not gone to any except for one on 6th street during Halloween. I have heard though, that some parties found in and around campus are quite fun, with a variety of themes and with much socializing. Apart from that I cannot say much.
Campus Food:
The food on campus is pretty good overall, having a variety of meals during all three courses. Some small issues though is that some of the menus are at times repetitive, serving the same thing on a weekly basis, some of the food is a bit overpriced in some areas, and if one wants to have a completely new meal they have to walk to another one of the dining halls across campus.
Campus Housing:
Living on campus is quite a fun experience. The dorms are large enough for one to be comfortably in, the food is great, the housing services are attentive, and the social atmosphere is wonderful.
Off-Campus Dining:
I'm the kind of person that sticks to my favorites when it comes to fast food. I'm just glad they have a Chipotle nearby.
I haven't had a run-in with anyone or anything so I think things are fine...either that or I'm just boring.
I really don't like that all I could really take out were loans. I feel like it'll be a lot to pay off later... Once you have the loans, it's a bit easier.
Campus Food:
It's generally good, but I don't have enough Bevo Bucks to buy fast food. I can't really get money to buy things that I want or need, so eating the same campus food gets more than a bit tiring. They change it up sometimes, though, so I guess it's alright.
Campus Housing:
It's a nice place, I suppose. Pretty good housing, even if it's a bit small. Then again, I used to have a room to myself.
Off-Campus Housing:
Super expensive in West Campus for the quality you get. You can't beat the proximity to campus, though!
Off-Campus Dining:
A ton of options, it's hard to choose what's for dinner!
It's fine. Not too strict, not too lenient. Just be smart, people.
Let's be real. UT is so stingy when it comes to scholarship. Plus if you have parents that support you even a little, you can FORGET any sort of financial aid.
Party Scene:
Yep. The best. A little distracting if you live in West Campus!
Campus Food:
Sorry, but I'm really picky about food. Campus food is not great.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Most students agree that they have loved their time here at UT, and they wouldn't want to be anywhere else. College is the best time of your life, and I can't think of a better place to spend it than at the University of Texas. Students get a great education while having an awesome college town with everything at their disposal. Don't try to graduate early. Enjoy your time at UT—go cheer on the Longhorns at all the home games for all sports: football, basketball, baseball, intramurals. See the amenities that the Forty Acres has to offer—the Harry Ransom Center, go to our libraries and see our more than eight million volumes. Go to Gregory Gym and the Rec Center—you have a free gym membership for four years or more—use it.
I came to UT convinced that I was going to transfer to a school in California in the spring. I spent two days here before school started and I never wanted to leave, even to go home and visit my parents and high school friends! I couldn't leave because I was always afraid that I would miss something because there was always something exciting going on. If you are worried about the fact that UT is so big, don't. All you have to do is find your niche, and everything else should fall into place. You can find it within your dorm, apartment, organization, fraternity, sorority, or classmates. Although, at times, it may seem overwhelming, UT is not nearly as big as it sounds. All you have to do is make friends, which you will, and the campus will seem infinitely smaller. Come join us!

I would also choose something along your lines. Maybe my choice would be GP-100 4" in .357 - well adequate IMO. I do not have one and so SP-101 is casual truck revo.
Equally I might put in my 4" M28-2 or M629-6 but neither is a gun I want to receive spoiling externally.

Refugee Integration for Sustainable Peace
As many readers of this space are aware, Global Action has long taken an interest in mentoring women (and men) interested in careers in international security.
That interest has resulted in some satisfying partnerships, including with the New York and West Coast (US) Chapters of Women and International Security. In addition, we have been privileged to welcome cadets from West Point as interns and in conjunction with graduation projects that help them extend their military training to some of the more difficult challenges we face as a society.
Earlier this spring, Cadets Binkowski, Murphy (not pictured) and Sampson came to our office to talk about the problem of integrating refugees into US communities. What are the common pitfalls? Where are the successful integration models? What can the military do (if anything) to help ease transitions, reassure the wary and prepare communities to receive their newest members?
All three cadets, under the guidance of Colonel Diane Ryan, have had extensive training in psychology and social relations. Their display (pictured above) offered several important recommendations for how to integrate newcomers who have faced violence and other challenges in a way that promotes, rather than undermines, stable and peaceful communities. Perhaps their best recommendation was the simplest — ensure adequate time for dialogue to enhance preparation and "ownership" by host communities. The better prepared communities are to receive refugees, the smoother the transition is likely to be.
Exploring New Trends in Peacekeeping and Atrocity Prevention with BGIA
As part of our ongoing collaboration with the Bard Globalization and International Affairs Program, GAPW recently organized a discussion forum for BGIA students and alumni. The event focused on issues raised in our new publication from Springer, "Perspectives on Peacekeeping and Atrocity Prevention: Expanding Stakeholders and Regional Arrangements," featuring an introduction by UN Special Adviser for the Prevention of Genocide, Adama Dieng.
The BGIA discussion was highlighted by presentations from Dr. Trudy Fraser and Melina Lito, Esq., both of whom contributed fine articles to the Springer collection. Dr. Fraser, who also served as principle editor, gave an overview of recent controversial shifts in coercive mandates for UN peacekeepers, while Ms. Lito focused on the critically significant matter of increasing accountability for abuses committed by peacekeepers and other UN personnel.
We have other launch plans for this book in 2016, including in Brazil and the UK, but we were especially pleased to hold this initial discussion at BGIA. Under the direction of James Ketterer and Rachel Meyer, BGIA has created an innovative learning experience that is attracting attention worldwide. Internships are an integral part of the BGIA experience and we have been fortunate to have had three BGIA interns over the past year. Our expectation is that we will be able to welcome many more.

Swords into Ploughshares: The Peace Angel Project
December 2015
One of our very favorite art concepts is Lin Evola's Peace Angel Project. Lin and her work are long known to Global Action. In fact, her art adorns some issues of the Arms Trade Treaty Monitor that we produced in 2012 and 2013 in association with Reaching Critical Will.
Among its many extraordinary features is the premise of the art and its chosen materials: The project serves as a reminder of the worldwide epidemic of violence and our responsibility to create a better world by using the melted down stainless core of decommissioned missiles and other weapons to create powerful images of peace and unity.
Lin's work is now being featured in a show entitled "World on Fire" at Studio Vendome in New York City where we were honored to be present for her opening. "As our world continues to be faced with horrific acts against humanity, the Peace Angel Project mission has never been more important," said Evola. "As we move into the holiday season, it is my hope that this artwork will serve as an inspiration to tap into the best of the human condition, by rising above violence and standing for peace."
We know that Lin will have many more opporunities to share her stunning art and, surely as important, the deep messages of peace that her works embody. We hope to be with her every step of the way.

Ensuring Appropriate Security in the Forthcoming Global Development Agenda
GAPW was pleased to collaborate with Instituto Mora in Mexico City and a number of regional and international experts to produce a volume that seeks to examine and assess how security arrangements at national and international levels impact prospects for sustainable development.
This volume offers a variety of perspectives and regional analyses on the many links between security and development, with texts by UN policy professionals, academics, and implementation specialists who have contributed ideas on how to create more peaceful, inclusive societies in support of the robust, post-2015 sustainable development framework soon to be adopted at the United Nations.
Around the world, illicit and trafficked weapons are jeopardizing community and national development, and perhaps nowhere more so than in Mexico and Central America. Despite improvements in government transparency and respect for human rights, new regional security and judicial arrangements, and hightened attention to security issues at the UN at a time when post-2015 goals are soon to be adopted, weapons and related security challenges — including trafficking in narcotics and the persistence of "femicide" — continue to undermine hope for development in the Central American region.
Sustainable Development Goals Post-2015: Ensuring a Security Development Linkage in the Forthcoming Global Agenda, addresses a number of fundamental questions: How should security be pursued in the post-2015 agenda? To what extent do UN member states understand their responsibilities with respect to Goal 16, the so-called "peace goal?" What is missing from current discussions regarding what we see as an essential security -development nexus?
We are currently working on book launch events for fall 2015 in New York and Mexico City. We also plan to take the book and its analyses to El Salvador which is enduring a particularly painful period of gang and street-level violence that threatens to completely undermine development progress and prospects in that country.

UNITAR Workshop on the Protection of Civilians: Challenges in Meeting a Core UN Expectation
Global Action was honored recently to join a diverse group of UN stakeholders in a UNITAR-sponsored training for diplomats on the Protection of Civilians.
Global Action has long taken note of the many changes in policies governing UN peacekeeping operations. Along with our Fellows and affiliates, we have offered caution regarding the trend towards more robust, coercive peacekeeping mandates – most containing the worthy objective of Protecting Civilians — that are insufficiently clear in their objectives, overload peacekeepers with responsibilities ranging from protecting UN country teams to rebuilding national judiciaries, and increasingly distort the last vestiges of peacekeeper neutrality. As GAPW Fellow David Curran has noted often, peacekeepers face increasing dangers amidst complex deployments where there is simply "no peace to keep."
There are other dangers to peacekeeping credibility, including the over-reliance on peacekeeping operations as a substitute for robust, preventive, diplomatic and development engagements. The UN's annual ceremony in May honoring fallen peacekeepers is a particularly moving affair. However, the growing number of casualties cited underscores growing threats to peacekeepers placed in highly volatile contexts and asked to work wonders to protect both civilians and UN operations through an increasingly complex mix of coercive and non-coercive measures.
And then there is the growing concern that some of those entrusted with the task of protecting civilians from abuse are themselves guilty of abuse. We simply and completely must uphold the values we seek to protect. Most UN peacekeepers understand that abuse by some jeopardizes all members of UN country teams, puts all of UN operations at risk. The scandals emanating now from Central African Republic and the unresolved abuses in Darfur stain a larger area than that occupied by the perpetrators. If we fail to meet the POC expectations that we have ourselves established, people will needlessly suffer. The reputation of the UN will needlessly suffer as well.

Fresh Perspectives on Peacekeeping and Atrocity Prevention
Global Action has long taken note of the many changes affecting current policies governing UN peacekeeping operations. Along with many of our Fellows and affiliates, we have often cautioned about more robust, coercive peacekeeping mandates that are insufficiently clear in their objectives, overload peacekeepers with responsibilities ranging from protecting UN country teams to rebuilding national judiciaries, and increasingly distort the last vestiges of peacekeeper neutrality. As co-editor David Curran notes in his own chapter, peacekeepers face increasing dangers amidst complex deployments where there is simply "no peace to keep."
This volume, which includes an introduction by UN Undersecretary-General Adama Dieng, explores aspects of this new peacekeeping terrain, identifying both new stakeholders and emerging dangers. One such danger is related to the over-reliance of peacekeeping operations as a substitute for robust, preventive, diplomatic and development capacities. The UN's annual ceremony last month honoring fallen peacekeepers was a moving affair, but the growing number of casualties cited underscored growing threats to peacekeepers placed in highly volatile contexts and asked to work wonders through a complex mix of coercive and non-coercive measures.
While four editors are listed on the cover, completion of this book would not have been possible without our Peace and Security Fellow, Dr. Trudy Fraser. Trudy, now a new mother, is also a skilled writer, analyst and editor. More than anyone, Trudy shaped this text and helped us overcome editorial and logistical difficulties that almost always shadow projects of this sort. The result is a volume that poses provocative questions, suggests new tools and stakeholders, and reminds policymakers that our primary task is to prevent violence rather than finding new and clever ways to respond to violence once it is already raging.
We believe that this volume (and its many recommendations to scholars and policymakers) will make a significant contribution to our understanding of new trends in peacekeeping operations and atrocity crime prevention, all while enhancing our prevention and protection responsibilities.

A Compelling Voice for the Prevention of Genocide Has Gone Silent
Many of us in the Global Action family were deeply saddened by the loss on Friday, May 22 of Professor Sheri Rosenberg. Sheri taught for many years at the Cardozo School of Law and was a mainstay in efforts around the United Nations to address threats of mass atrocities. She was also much revered by students in her Human Rights and Genocide Law Clinic, some of whom were fortunate to accompany her on trips to Rwanda and other areas impacted by mass violence.
Like many in our line of work, Sheri shared her gifts with others beyond the public glare. Among those gifts were financial contributions she made to our office allowing us to bring interns and fellows to New York to participate in genocide prevention (and related) discussions and activities.
She was also a devoted mother to her children and worried often about how her evolving sickness would impact them.
Sheri opened the resources and facilities of Cardozo to scholars and practitioners alike. She had many collaborators, including GAPW, having allowed us to cooperate with her in publishing "Healing the Wounds: Speech, Identity and Reconciliation in Rwanda and Beyond."
Sheri deeply wished to cultivate a strong and identifiable voice to influence the structures and norms needed to effectively prevent genocide and other mass atrocities — to make a better world for her own children and, indeed, for children everywhere.
Mission accomplished, dear Sheri.

A Shock for the Ages
The news from Nepal this weekend could hardly be more dire. As aftershocks continue to buffer the regions around Katmandu, the remaining fine lines separating survival and death disappear for many.
For Global Action, there are many reasons to pause and mourn, including friends working in Nepal's disarmament, development, health and religious sectors. We have experienced large earthquakes elsewhere. There is simply no way to prepare for devastation that seemingly comes out of nowhere and undermines what little remains of our confidence in a predictable world.
But even more, one of our board members and most trusted advisors, Christina Madden just returned from an extended visit to Nepal. Christina, who serves as Executive Director of Himalayan Health Care, had just concluded a long trek with medical personnel and others committed to the health and economic well-being of Nepal's many underserved rural communities. Her tales of hope from those places were compelling and inspiring.
Even before the full benefit of her experiences had sunk in, this shock for the ages.
Global Action will do what we can to support Himalayan Health Care in its efforts to leverage medical care and economic opportunity. The needs now are on a scale that could never have been imagined just a few short days ago.

Respecting Indigenous Youth and Elders
The Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues returned to the United Nations this week. Under the leadership of Megan Davis of Australia (Chair) the Forum examined its own working methods, issued calls for more state attention to the promotion of indigenous rights, urged creation of indicators to more effectively measure social and economic progress of indigenous peoples, and discussed strategies to address disturbing statistics regarding self-harm and suicide by indigenous youth.
Linking Security and Development in the Post-2015 Agenda
On March 12, 2015 GAPW was joined by Ms. Maritza Chan of the Permanent Mission of Costa Rica to the United Nations and students and faculty of Instituto Mora in Mexico,DF for a webinar that explored the ways in which insecurity from illicit weapons, narcotics trafficking and an under-developed security sector threatens the full implementation of development priorities.
The webinar was the first in a series of events to promote "Linking Security and Development in the post-2015 Agenda," soon to be released by Instituto Mora. The book owes its existence to the steady guidance provided by Mora's Dr. Lucatello Simone. With its blending of Latin American and outside authors, the book attempts to link policy communities committed to peacemaking on the one hand and those who will lead the implementation of post-2015 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) on the other.
Among the book's recommendations is the call for more policy attention on the preventive dimensions of the SDGs, including the prevention of pandemics such as Ebola, the restriction of flows on illicit weapons before they find their way into the hands of non-state actors or rogue elements, and preserving inclusive access to precious national resources before such resources become a pretext for violence. In these and other instances, more prevention and less reaction from policymakers to the many problems that inhibit development objectives would, the authors believe, be time well spent.

DynCorp Settlement With Army Corps Faces Added Inquiry
The inspector general for Afghanistan is investigating a contract settlement between the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and DynCorp International Inc., citing "questionable actions" by personnel involved in the negotiations.
John Sopko, the special inspector general for Afghanistan reconstruction, informed Lieutenant General Thomas Bostick, the Army Corps' commander, of his inquiry in a letter today. Sopko didn't specify whether the actions he questioned involved government personnel, company officials or both. The office is an independent agency created by Congress to oversee U.S. spending in Afghanistan.
Sopko said in an October report that the Army Corps freed DynCorp, one of the largest U.S. contractors in Afghanistan, of responsibility for construction at an Afghan Army garrison while long-standing deficiencies remained.
The Corps was asked to justify a settlement Sopko's office said involved a $73 million payment to DynCorp, which is owned by affiliates of New York-based Cerberus Capital Management LP.
DynCorp oversaw the construction at Camp Pamir in Afghanistan's Kunduz province. The project was part of a U.S. effort to train and house the Afghan Army, which is growing this year to 195,000 personnel.
Corps official James Balocki said in a Dec. 4 memo to Sopko's office that the agency has begun its own review of the settlement.
Site Conditions
"We acknowledge the nature of the settlement raises a number of concerns which involve highly technical factors pertaining to site conditions and related geotechnical issues," as well as contract requirements, he said. "Our findings to date are incomplete, however, we continue to examine the facts."
At this time the Corps "does not have sufficient information to determine whether the settlement was fair and reasonable," he said.
Corps spokesman Eugene Pawlik didn't immediately return a phone call or e-mail seeking comment.
Ashley Burke, a spokeswoman for Falls Church, Virginia-based DynCorp, said in an e-mailed statement that the company experienced a $26 million loss on the project after receiving $70 million for its work.
"We have not seen the letter and therefore cannot comment on it, but it is interesting to note that SIGAR's report was finalized and reached conclusions about the settlement before any investigation was initiated," Burke wrote, referring to the special inspector general for Afghanistan reconstruction.
"Despite SIGAR's suggestion in the report that the settlement 'appears to be on unfavorable terms to the U.S. government,' on the contrary, DynCorp International received only a partial payment for its work," Burke wrote.
DynCorp turned over responsibility for the site in 2011, and the current occupants have been accountable for maintenance and care of the facilities since then, Burke said in October in response to the original report.

Good recipe! I never had crab in stuffing before so it was something I had to get use to. If I made the recipe again, I would not include the crab.
This is a great recipe. I used some crawfish I had left over after a boil, instead of shrimp, and of course added some Cajun seasonings. The pan was clean by the end of the meal..the company just kept picking....

A new video by a YouTuber named Tori Locklear that has gone viral over the past few days is just the perfect material for Willam's Beatdown (and a new episode comes out later today… check back here for that).
Tori Locklear is one of the many people on YouTube who like to offer beauty tips and tutorials, despite their limited knowledge or lack of any formal training. For Locklear, this video was supposed to be about how to curl your hair… but things didn't go as planned.
Thankfully, regardless of what happened, she decided to share the video and that's what YouTube is all about. It goes without question that the video would have never receive the attention it has had the procedure gone as planned. Watch the video below to find out what happened. One person who commented on the video wrote this awesome play-by-play of Locklear's reaction: "1:09 shock and denial, 1:11 pain, 1:24 anger and bargaining, 1:26 depression, and? 1:42 acceptance." Enjoy!

Locals say FEMA trailers remain a necessity
Published: Tuesday, June 10, 2008 at 3:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, June 10, 2008 at 1:17 p.m.
GHEENS -- After Hurricane Rita tore through her home of two decades, bursting windows, blowing doors off hinges and tearing away part of the roof, Angelle Plaisance had nowhere to call home but a FEMA trailer.
Plaisance -- who shares the space with her husband, Jamie, sons, Joby and Jacob, and dog, Maggie -- has spent nearly three years crawling through the cramped spaces of this temporary home, which is neatly parked in front of her former home.
"Ive got a bedroom, two bunk beds and a bitty old bathroom," she said. "Its small compared to what we was in. But, hey, we make do."
These lifelong Gheens residents are among 99 families in Lafourche Parish still living in trailers provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency after the 2005 hurricanes.
And they were among the lucky ones who escaped displacement from their hometowns.
That could change when the Lafourche Parish Council meets today to consider a proposed Sept. 1 deadline to have the travel trailers removed.
In Terrebonne, 254 FEMA trailers remain, but parish officials have not discussed deadlines for their removal.
"We both grew up here. Were 41 years old," Plaisance said of herself and her husband. "You dont just want to pick up and go, and my kids insist theyre not moving out of Gheens."
If the council passes the proposal,
the Plaisances and others in FEMA trailers risk being forced out but are eligible to retain a temporary trailer if they can prove its needed.
Lafourche Parish President Charlotte Randolph, who proposed the deadline, said the initiative is not intended as a crackdown on all FEMA trailers.
Its purpose, she said, is to remove uninhabited trailers that could be blown through neighborhoods in heavy winds and to ensure that locals have safe housing.
"This is one of those issues where you have to approach it sensitively," she said. "We certainly dont want to put anybody on the street if its still an absolute necessity to live in a trailer."
To Plaisance, the FEMA trailer has been a lifesaver, one she isnt certain shell no longer need.
Her old house, she said, is in such disrepair its beyond the familys means to repair it.
She is uncertain if and when a Road Home grant will give them a permanent home. The agency has refused the family a grant because no one can find a title to the home.
"We want to get something, but I dont know how long thats going to take," she said.
Theyre willing to relocate to a nearby apartment or lease a home with FEMAs aid. But the couple says their search has proved futile in a thriving housing market where rent is rising and too few units are available.
No landlord has been willing to rent to the family out of concerns that FEMAs payments will be delayed, Plaisance said.
But if other parishes are an indication, the Plaisances may have little reason to worry over the potential loss of their trailer.
People living in these temporary quarters have been treated fairly in areas that have undergone similar trailer purges, FEMA spokesman Andrew Thomas said.
"The parishes that set these deadlines -- every one has gone to the families and talked to them and kind of got a feel for what their plan is and how far along they are on it," he said. "You dont want to take somebody whos very close to repairing their homes, it just throws another wrench in the gears."
Of the parishs 99 FEMA trailers, 19 are stationed at trailer parks. The other 80 sit on private land, Thomas said.
