Somaliland: Africa's Best Kept Secret
Issue 285
Ghana's 'DAILY GUIDE ' newspaper coverage of the "Somaliland and the African Union in the Horn of Africa" symposium at the Kofi Anan International Peacekeeping Training Centre (KAIPTC) in Accra.
Accra, June 28, 2007 – AS THE African Union (AU) girds its loins for a heated debate next week on how soon it should take the continent to get unionized into a United State of Africa, one fact that many people may be unaware of is that a couple of her states are also scheming for individual recognition and acceptance into the comity of nations.
One such nation, Somaliland, is leaving no stone unturned in a bid to get the much desired international recognition as a de jure state.
During a special symposium at the Kofi Anan International Peacekeeping Training Centre (KAIPTC) in Accra yesterday, participants were taken through series of convincing actualities on how the world is unduly delaying in not recognizing the de facto state in the Horn of Africa.
Making a case for his country, the Somaliland Foreign Minister, Hon. Abdillahi Duale said his country was not seeking to secede from Somalia, but to undo what he described as an ill-advised union between Somaliland and Somalia, a thing that took place shortly after both countries attained independence in 1960.
The 'marriage of convenience' however hit the rocks in 1991 and Somaliland, after opting out of the union, had since stayed on its own as a de facto state.
According to him, the 'divorce' was dictated by an imbalance between the two former colonies, a growing repression of the Gen. Siyad Barre's dictatorial regime, and the devastation caused by the protracted civil war in Somalia.
"Since that time, Somaliland has forged a stable, peaceful, democratic country, while Somalis remains mired in internecine chaos," he noted, stressing that his country needed to be recognized for the sake of regional integration.
Hon. Duale further argued that at a time Somaliland opted out of the 1960 union, 97 per cent of those who turned up in a referendum gave their consent for a pullout, leading to a proclamation by a 'Grand Conference of the Northern Peoples'.
He contended that the decision of the 3.5 million Somaliland people was not unique in any way in that it was a simple step akin to what happened to Egypt, Gambia and Senegal.
"We are looking for a positive demonstration and interest in our issue, and we want the AU to recognize us and we insist that the Somaliland issue be looked at," the Somaliland Foreign Minister observed, adding that there was the danger of slipping back into chaos and poverty if recognition and acceptance were delayed.
Contributing, Dr. Iqbal Jhazbhay, an analyst and lecturer at the University of South Africa stated it was a historic opportunity for Ghana to host the 9th AU Summit, and a democratic mouthpiece on the continent to share in the sub-regional experiences along the lines of NEPAD.
Describing Somaliland as a rare mixture of tradition and modernity, Dr Jhazbhay revealed that the country currently had its own flag, currency, reserve bank, budget and international passport, contending that between 1991 and now, she had held two parliamentary and local government elections, and survived without any foreign assistance.
Dr. Jhazbhay further assured that engaging with Somaliland would neither open any Pandora's Box nor create problems for the AU.
"Somaliland qualifies for statehood. The AU will be doing justice to justice if it comes up with a sub-committee to look into her issue and come up with recommendations for a way forward. There are only two ways out, and the better option is the path of dialogue."
The Ethiopian Foreign Minister, Hon. Seyoun Mesfin averred it would be wrong to play the ostrich by pretending that the Somaliland issue was not worth considering, and called on the two nations to dialogue the issue and refrain from war, saying Ethiopia's role in the matter should not be construed as double standards.
The theme of the symposium was: 'The African Union and Somaliland in the Horn of Africa.' Present at the seminar were Major-General J.K. Attipoe, Commandant of KAIPTC and Dr. Kwesi Aning, Head of CPMRD.
For now, Ambassadors and Foreign Ministers on the continent are locked up in marathon meetings ahead of the 9th African Union Summit slated for July 1-3, 2007 in Accra.

We have asked dog owners of the Hudson Valley and Catskills to tell us why their dog is dynamic. Here's a response:
My name is Sophia Ryan and my dog's name is Alvin. He's a Labradoodle. He was a rescue dog from Yorktown Heights. He was very skinny when we got him and we thought that he might die from the worms if we didn't bring him home and help him.
Well, that was over a year and a half ago. Alvin is almost 2 now. He's doing great. He put on some muscle and loves fetching and jumping.
Alvin has gone beyond the call of duty by barking when we had some creepy people in our neighborhood. Alvin is also a great companion for me. He never bites and loves to be pet and hugged. I never thought a dog could be so much fun and just like a family member. My parents also love Alvin. He's the best pet ever!!

Name this airplane, aviation buffs
This is a Northwest Airlines jet (obviously). The challenge: Name the aircraft type.
Keep reading for the answer (but you know, don't you, aviation buffs?).
This is a Northwest Airlines jet (obviously). The challenge: Name the aircraft type.
Keep reading for the answer (but you know, don't you, aviation buffs?).
The U.S. Supreme Court, in a ruling Wednesday, has affirmed a basic truth about the airline industry – it's almost impossible for a consumer to sue an airline successfully.
The case involved S. Binyomin Ginsberg, a "platinum" member of Northwest Airlines' WorldPerks frequent-flier program until Northwest revoked his membership in 2009. He claimed that the airline breached an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.
The Supreme Court said that Airline Deregulation Act of 1978 preempts such claims. Previous decisions have held much the same.
As a syllabus for the court's Wednesday ruling stated, "The ADA pre-empts a state-law claim for breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing if it seeks to enlarge the contractual obligations that the parties voluntarily adopt."
A federal district court had ruled along the same lines as the Supreme Court decision. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals had reversed the district court, saying Ginberg's claims were "'too tenuously connected to airline regulation to trigger" the pre-emption provisions of the 1978 law.
Why was he kicked out? Here's the explanation from Wednesday's opinion:
Respondent became a member of Northwest's WorldPerks program in 1999, and as a result of extensive travel on Northwest flights, he achieved "Platinum Elite" status (the highest level available) in 2005.
In 2008, however, Northwest terminated respondent's membership, apparently in reliance on a provision of the WorldPerks agreement that provided that "[a]buse of the . . . program (including . . . improper conduct as determined by [Northwest] in its sole judgment[ )] . . . may result in cancellation of the member's account."
According to respondent, a Northwest representative telephoned him in June 2008 and informed him that his "Platinum Elite" status was being revoked because he had "'abused'" the program. In a letter sent about two weeks later, Northwest wrote:
"[Y]ou have contacted our office 24 times since December 3, 2007 regarding travel problems, including 9 incidents of your bag arriving late at the luggage carousel. . .
. . . . . " Since December 3, 2007, you have continually asked for compensation over and above our guidelines. We have awarded you $1,925.00 in travel credit vouchers, 78,500 WorldPerks bonus miles, a voucher extension for your son, and $491.00 in cash reimbursements. . . .
"Due to our past generosity, we must respectfully advise that we will no longer be awarding you compensation each time you contact us."
Northwest merged with Delta Air Lines in 2008, and the WorldPerks program was merged with Delta's SkyMiles program. Ginsberg alleged that Delta was cutting costs by getting rid of frequent-flier members like him.
The syllabus that accompanied the opinion offered some alternatives to Ginsberg's position:
"Petitioners claim that the refusal to pre-empt all implied covenant claims, regardless of state law, will lead to a patchwork of rules that will frustrate the ADA's deregulatory aim. But airlines can avoid such a result if they contract out of covenants where permitted by state law. Nor are participants in frequent flyer programs left without protection. They can avoid an airline with a poor reputation and possibly enroll in a more favorable rival program. Moreover, the Department of Transportation has the authority to investigate complaints about frequent flyer programs. Finally, respondent might have been able to vindicate his claim of ill treatment by Northwest had he appealed his breach of contract claim."
Delta Air Lines will park its last Douglas DC-9 airplanes as of Jan. 6, ending a long, long history for the airplanes. Delta's DC-9s came as part of its 2008 marriage with Northwest Airlines, which loved the airplane.
Northwest in the early 1990s decided it would be more profitable to update its aging DC-9s than spend the money to buy all-new ones. Although less fuel efficient than newer airplanes, the DC-9s were otherwise cheap, and a lot cheaper than buying replacement airplanes.
In fact, Northwest bought up DC-9s from other airlines as those airlines were modernizing their fleets, adding to its own DC-9s. A bunch of Northwest's DC-9s came in its 1986 merger with Republic Airlines.
Northwest's total of DC-9s hit 180 in 1997 before it began retiring some of its oldest DC-9s. On Dec. 31, 2007, the last year before the Delta merger, Northwest still had 94 of the airplanes, which at that time averaged 35.6 years old.
Since then, Delta has been paring down the DC-9 fleet, which stood at 16 as of Sept. 30, 2013.
"The DC-9 has been a workhorse in our domestic fleet while providing a reliable customer experience," said Nat Pieper, Delta's vice president of fleet strategy. "The aircraft's retirement paves the way for newer, more efficient aircraft."
One of the new airplanes is the Boeing 717, which is really a 1990s-era update of the original 1960s design of the DC-9. Delta is picking up 88 Boeing 717s from Southwest Airlines. Southwest acquired the airplanes in its 2011 merger with AirTran Airways and then decided the 717 didn't fit into its plans.
Delta for 28 years had operated DC-9s, with the first DC-9 entering Delta's fleet in 1965. The airplane had been gone from Delta's fleet since 1993, though, until Delta's merger with Northwest Airlines.
Here are the fleet totals for the DC-9, starting with Northwest's numbers in 1995 and then converting to Delta's numbers after the 2008 merger:
|Average age
The DC-9 was superseded by the McDonnell Douglas MD-80 models, which proved very popular. American Airlines at one time operated 300 of the various MD-80 models, and still had 179 in its fleet as of Sept. 30. McDonnell Douglas then offered an updated version of the Dash-80, the MD-90, which did not sell so well.
McDonnell Douglas had a small version of the MD-80/MD-90 family under design, the MD-95, before it merged in 1997 with Boeing. Boeing subsequently renamed the MD-95 as the Boeing 717.
So much for the family tree.
Ignore the above headline. We don't really know when American Airlines and parent AMR will exit bankruptcy proceedings and close their merger with US Airways Group.
But if the past is any guide, it looks like they'll finish up by the end of August.
We looked at nine bankruptcies of major U.S. airlines going back more than two decades, and those carriers – with one exception – averaged 12½ days between the time their bankruptcy judge confirmed their plans of reorganization and their emergence from bankruptcy.
AA/AMR has its confirmation hearing scheduled for Aug. 15 before U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Sean Lane. Assuming that creditors approve the plan, we would expect him to confirm the plan at that hearing. That would mean an exit on Aug. 27 or 28 if the average of 12 or 13 days holds true..
The big exception was Trans World Airlines' first bankruptcy that began Jan. 31, 1992. The judge confirmed TWA's plan on Aug. 11, 1993, but the airline didn't emerge until 84 days later on Nov. 3, 1993. If AMR and American suffered the same delay, that'd take the exit date to Nov. 7.
Other things have to happen as well. The U.S. Department of Justice is still reviewing the merger proposal for antitrust issues. European regulators are looking at the proposal. US Airways shareholders vote on the merger July 12.
But assuming all those events happen before the Aug. 15 hearing, the new American Airlines Group Inc. will be flying by Labor Day.

Okay, there's going to be a merger between American Airlines and US Airways. I know it, they know it, you know it. The only question is when. It's like a pregnancy: Show us the baby, already.
Let's say on Wednesday the AMR and US Airways boards of directors approve the deal. That means the hoopla will be rolled out on Thursday, probably.
The next question then becomes how long it will take to get the governmental clearances so that the two carriers can actually merge.
As a guideline, we've put together a chart that shows the date that other carriers announced their mergers, the date that they merged and how that would translate if the US Airways-American merger took as long.
As you can see, the last US Airways merger, with America West Airlines in 2005, took only 131 days from announcement to merger. On the other hand, the Southwest Airlines-AirTran merger of 2011 took 218 days – just over seven months.
In any case, here's our extrapolation:

Five Rich Men to Watch at Ira Sohn
The Super Bowl of investor conferences is set to begin later today.
Several top hedge-fund managers and investors will gather at Lincoln Center this afternoon for the Ira Sohn conference to discuss some of their top stock picks, investment ideas and other hot themes on Wall Street.
The annual confab, which raises money to benefit the treatment of pediatric cancer and other childhood illnesses, has been home to plenty of memorable moments over the years, including the attack on Lehman Brothers by Greenlight Capital's David Einhorn in a presentation called "Accounting Ingenuity."
This year's guests include Einhorn as well as several other prominent Wall Streeters. While Ira Sohn offers the entire roster on its website, MoneyBeat offers a breakdown of the five biggest financial machers we'll be watching closely. Take a gander, and make sure to stay tuned later in the day as we'll be live blogging all the action.
David Einhorn
It was the Ira Sohn conference in 2008 that Einhorn shot to fame with a blistering critique of Lehman Brothers just months before the bank collapsed. The head of Greenlight Capital, Einhorn has unusual influence on stocks – whether he is buying or selling short. Some investors call it "being Einhorned." It was he who made the first dent in the Great Herbalife Fight when he asked a few questions on a conference call last year, causing many to expect he'd present a short thesis at the 2012 Ira Sohn conference. That sent Herbalife shares tumbling 20% in a day. Instead, he targeted Martin Marietta Materials and U.S. Steel. Since then, he's also touted Taco Bell parent Yum Brands and his investment in Apple
Bill Ackman
An investor who rarely shies from making a big splash, Ackman of Pershing Square Capital Management late last year accused Herbalife of operating an illegal pyramid scheme and made a $1 billion bet that the stock would fall. Herbalife in turn has called Ackman's allegations malicious and has accused him of trying to manipulate its stock, a charge he has denied. The battle also has inspired some high-profile defenders, with billionaire investors Daniel Loeb and Carl Icahn disclosing that they have gone long on the stock. On the eve of Ira Sohn, Icahn disclosed he bought another $26.3 million of Herbalife shares, which boosted his stake in the company to 16.5%, to go along with controlling a pair of board seats. Ackman will likely have plenty to say about Herbalife. His firm's other major investments include J.C. Penney and Procter & Gamble.
Jeffery Gundlach
Gundlach, one of the world's biggest bond fund managers, recently made waves by saying now is not the time to bet on higher interest rates. The CEO of DoubleLine Capital, a Los Angeles firm with $59 billion under management, said economic growth is too soft to allow the Fed to consider cutting back its $85 billion-a-month bond-purchase program known as "quantitative easing." The bond guru, who made his name managing mortgage-backed securities, talked of shorting Apple last year, a call that proved several months early but has since looked better and better. He was also a victim last year of a $10 million burglary in which he lost several high-end paintings and a 2010 red Porsche Carrera 4S .
Kyle Bass
The hedge-fund manager, who runs Dallas-based Hayman Capital Management LP, is known for making $500 million by betting against subprime mortgages as the housing market crashed. Recently he has joined a score of investors who have handsomely reaped the benefits from wagers against the Japanese yen.
Paul Singer
The head of Elliott Management has made his name on distressed-debt investments and particularly sovereign bets, including a long-time fight over Argentina's bonds. But his hedge fund firm has also become one of the most influential activists in technology investing. As well, it launched one of the biggest activist fights ever, over the future of Hess.

More than 20,000 people took Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings' online pledge against domestic violence this weekend as part of the mayor's push at Dallas high school football games.
W.H. Adamson High School in North Oak Cliff maintained its early lead and registered the winning number of pledges with 8,216, according to a press release. That's close to six times the number of students who go to school there, so let's give them the benefit of the doubt and assume that's because teachers, parents and fans really got on board.
And as promised, Adamson will get to play a game at AT&T Stadium next year.
Woodrow Wilson High School in Old East Dallas came in second with 7,140 pledges. The rest of the 20-some high schools participating weren't quite as prolific - Thomson Jefferson High School came up with just over 2,000 pledges for third place.
"I am so proud of the young men in our community for taking a stand against domestic violence," Mayor Mike Rawlings said in the release. "Thank you to all of the schools for agreeing to take part in this important effort and to the Dallas Cowboys for generously hosting one of Adamson's games next season."
You might ask whether a simple online pledge can really be effective in stopping abuse. Well, experts say it certainly doesn't hurt and research shows there is value in asking people to reflect on their actions.
"When it feels like people are committing to something, they do think about their behaviors," Katie Ray-Jones, president of the National Domestic Violence Hotline, told me recently.
"It's a great way to create awareness," she said.

Next I decided to email Jeff Bezos, Amazon CEO, at email@example.com. He had no interest in helping me at all and I received
back a generic message. I have attempted to contact the buyer numerous times, offering to send him a pre-paid return shipping label at no expense to him to send the item back since he received a full refund, but he has never responded to any of my emails.
Amazon treats their individual seller poorly, and they like to take advantage of teenagers.

Kidney Stone in Ureter
Kidney stones are made of salts and minerals in the urine that stick together to form small "pebbles." They are usually painless while they remain in the kidney. But they can cause severe pain when small pieces leave the kidney and travel through the narrow tubes (ureters) to the bladder.
Symptoms of a kidney stone include severe pain in the flank, which is felt just below the rib cage and above the waist, usually on only one side of the back. The pain may spread to the lower abdomen, groin, and genital area. Other symptoms include blood in the urine (hematuria), painful or frequent urination (dysuria), and nausea and vomiting.

County and state health departments investigating possible 'cancer cluster' in Town of Lloyd
HIGHLAND — County and state health officials are investigating whether a potential "cancer cluster" exists in the Town of Lloyd after three children have been diagnosed with childhood leukemia within the past 18 months.
Town Supervisor Paul Hansut referred the cases to the county health department about a month ago. According to county sources, Ulster County Health Commissioner Carol Smith reviewed the request and found it credible enough to forward to the state health department, which has not yet taken any action.
There's been a long-standing fear in towns like Lloyd that soil and water may be contaminated by years of reliance on toxic weed and pest control chemicals on existing and former orchards.

AMC Announces July 4 'Walking Dead' Marathon, Two New Documentaries
All four seasons will air back to back over the Fourth of July Weekend, followed by the debuts of two behind-the-scenes documentaries.
All four seasons will air back to back over the Fourth of July Weekend, followed by the debuts of two behind-the-scenes documentaries.
Spinoff Online has the exclusive first look at the poster for the horror anthology V/H/S/2, created by The Walking Dead and Fear Agent artist Tony Moore.
To mark the start of production this week in Atlanta, AMC has debuted the first image from the upcoming fourth-season premiere of The Walking Dead.
AMC has released the first clip from Sunday's Season 3 premiere of The Walking Dead, featuring Rick and the other survivors determined after weeks on the road to find "some place to hold up for a few weeks."
A new minute-long trailer for the third season of The Walking Dead suggests Rick and the other survivors have been on the road for some time following their escape from the Greene farm in the Season 2 finale.
With exactly a month until the Oct. 14 premiere, AMC has released a new 30-second trailer and a half-dozen more images for Season 3 of the hit drama.
AMC has released the new cast banner for the upcoming third season of The Walking Dead. The hit drama returns Oct. 14 with the first of 16 new episodes.
AMC has released the official Comic-Con International poster for The Walking Dead that touts the hit drama's convention presence while revealing new images of Andrew Lincoln as Rick Grimes, Danai Gurira as Michonne and David Morrissey as The Governor.
AMC announced this morning that it has already renewed The Walking Dead for a third season.
The actor, best known as probie firefighter Damien Keefe on FX's Rescue Me, will play a new character who doesn't appear in the acclaimed horror comic by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore and Charlie Adlard.
A poster has debuted featuring Andrew Lincoln running toward Hershel's farm, the central setting for much of the second season of the AMC drama. The Walking Dead returns with a 90-minute premiere on Oct. 16.
Comic artist Tony Moore, co-creator of The Walking Dead, has created a suitably gory poster for the horror-comedy Tucker & Dale Vs. Evil.

Howl's Moving Castle
by Diana Wynne Jones
Howl's Moving Castle Chapter 11 Summary
In Which Howl Goes to a Strange Country in Search of a Spell
- The nothingness on the other side of the black knob is only an inch thick.
- Once they pass through this veil, they find themselves in a rainy neighborhood of new houses.
- All signs point to this being an ordinary neighborhood in Wales in our world.
- Howl disguises their clothes to blend in and leads them into a yellow brick house.
- A little girl throws herself at Howl, calling him "Uncle Howell" (11.8).
- Howl introduces Sophie and Michael to his sister, Megan Parry, and his little niece Mari.
- Megan is not exactly friendly to Howl—clearly there's a lot of tension between them—but she does agree that Neil did recently lose a homework assignment, now that Howl mentions it.
- Howl goes to his nephew Neil's room.
- Yep, that spell is actually Neil's homework assignment from his English teacher, Miss Angorian.
- All he found was a sheet full of funny writing, which Neil gave to Miss Angorian to show he tried to do his assignment.
- Howl decides to go see Miss Angorian.
- But first Howl's sister starts laying into him about what a waste of space he is. (This family stuff gets pretty ugly, actually—family drama is the worst.)
- Howl drives Sophie and Michael over to see Miss Angorian.
- She's young and pretty, and Sophie fears that Howl has pretty much immediately forgotten about Lettie at the sight of her.
- Howl asks about Neil's sheet of funny writing.
- Miss Angorian hands it to him: it's a spell for making things bigger.
- The weird thing is, Miss Angorian recognizes it as a spell.
- Howl swears that he's just using it for academic research… and he also asks if Miss Angorian wants to grab some dinner that night. (Nod nod, wink wink.)
- She says no very stiffly: she's still engaged to Ben Sullivan, even if he has disappeared.
- Miss Angorian reads out the second verse of John Donne's "Song" since Howl asked, and when she does, Howl goes deathly pale and says that they have to go.
- It turns out that the Witch of the Waste's curse has caught up with Howl at last.
- On Midsummer's Day, when he's ten thousand days old, the Witch is going to get him.

Feeding Frenzy: Why Giants Are Fighting for Areva's Power Business
The battle shaping up over Areva's transmission division shows just how big a part of the world's energy future lies in a crucial, if boring, corner of the business.
To recap: General Electric, Toshiba, and Alstom are all trying to land the electricity-transmission unit of Areva, the French nuclear powerhouse. The bidders are offering between 3.5 billion and 4.2 billion euros, according to press reports.
The deal is a creature of the French state, Bloomberg notes—Paris ordered Areva to sell the unit to raise cash to bolster its bread-and-butter nuclear business. Areva bought the business in 2004 from Alstom, when Paris ordered the engineering group to offload assets to stave off bankruptcy. In five years, the value of the business has increased about four-fold.
Areva's transmission business makes the nuts-and-bolts gear for electricity transmission and distribution, and is one of the three global giants, alongside Siemens and ABB.
That's the main reason GE, Toshiba, and Alstom want in the game: Transmission is literally the backbone of the world's electricity future, and Areva's unit is one of the truly big boys. The division accounted for 38% of Areva's sales last year.
This summer, investment bank HSBC noted that the staid-but-crucial business of making transmission gear was poised for the fastest growth in the power business over the next five years—which is why the bank listed ABB and Siemens as some of its favorite stocks.
The appealing part of the business is that it offers a way for big companies to play all sides of the coming power revolution. The International Energy Agency said yesterday that the world demand for electricity will increase 76% over the next two decades.
Developing countries need more basic transmission lines to end "electricity poverty"? Done. Rich countries such as the U.S. need more transmission to prevent brownouts and blackouts? Done.
Renewable-energy takes off in earnest around the world, requiring an overhauled transmission grid that can handle intermittent power? Done. The much-ballyhooed "smart grid" becomes reality, changing the entire nature of the electricity business? Done.
So far, Areva has only said that it has received the three bids. A decision on who wins the battle isn't expected until next week, at the earliest. Stay tuned.

"Recently moved so order these pretty address labels. Was very pleased with them. The labels I ordered are simple, elegant, modern, traditional but everyday useful. Delivery was very quick, arrived 3 days after I ordered. Will be ordering from Tiny Prints again in the near future."
"These labels came quickly and packaging was protected great. They were very easy to order , instructions were clear! Nice quality labels and was perfect for a New Home Gift!"
"These labels are just what I was looking for to notify our family and friends of our new address. My husband and I have one son who is 13 months old, so the family in the image does represent our family. They arrived earlier than expected."
"I just moved to Florida so I thought this would be perfect for sending mail home.. and it is! It's a way for me to share Florida with everyone back at home."

For MRAs, Valentine's Day is "a socially coerced day of hyper-entitlement for a generation of princess leeches."
Happy Valentine's Day Boycott Day! Every year on Valentine's Day, MRAs around the world unite in a sacred ritual: the annual Valentine's Day Blaming of the Ladies parade.
For, you see, Valentine's Day is little more than a plot by the ladies to extract fancy chocolate and diamonds and other pricey romantic goods from the world's men. That's why, for the past I'm-not-going-to-look-up-the-number of years, the lady hating radio personality Marc Rudov has been trying to get other men to boycott the holiday to show the ladies of the world what's what.
And plenty of manosphere dudes, from MRAs to MGTOWers, are happy to join in. I've highlighted some of their silliness in previous Valentine's Day posts here, here and here. But, though I mentioned it, I never really did full justice to the denunciation of V-day that a certain Paul Elam posted on A Voice for Men a couple of years back.
Let's take a look, shall we?
Elam starts off with a brief statement of his overall thesis:
Valentines Day is to be avoided for what it is; a socially coerced day of hyper-entitlement for a generation of princess leeches.
See card above. (Pretty good, huh? I ACTUALLY FOUND A VALENTINE'S DAY CARD FEATURING A LADY LEECH!!)
[I]f you think loving someone means your wallet comes out while her purse remains closed then you will delighted to know that A Voice for Men will be selling monogrammed knee pads in the near future. All we need is the circumference of your knees and what sort of flooring is in your bedroom. We expect an endorsement from Joe Biden.
Actually, I just checked the A Voice for Men store, and the promised knee-pads are nowhere to be found. Though the John The Other mugs, sporting "JtO's signature chainsaw," look lovely! (And what better symbol of AVFM's steadfast stance against violence than a lumberjacking tool also famous for its use in cinematic massacres!)
It's not long before Elam turns his attention to that infamous slogan of a certain jeweler which MRAs seem to think originated as a feminist bumper sticker: "Every Kiss Begins With Kay."
It would be better to say that every blowjob begins with Kay. After all, those full, moist lips they are promising you on the ad can go in quite a few places, and likely will if the tennis bracelet has enough carats.
That's right fellas: Forget the old "Whitman's Sampler" box of chocolates and wilted roses bought at the grocery store on the way home from work because you forgot it was Valentine's Day. These days. each and every woman in America expects a diamond-encrusted tennis bracelet picked out by a dude who has no idea what sort of jewelry she likes. (Reward: One blowjob, the only one you will get all year.)
But underneath all this is something actually a little darker. Not all men are getting blowjobs and other forms of sex for the presents on Valentines Day so much as they are getting a reprieve from constant nagging and criticism, if they happen to get the right present. Nobody wants to talk about it, but Valentines Day, for far too many men, is actually Lighten Up and Don't be such an Insufferable Bitch Day, but only if you get the present right.
Ah, the Blaming of the Ladies parade is in full swing! Next up, the Entitled Bitches Who Are Sort of Like Winos float, sponsored by A Voice for Men.
It is not just a matter of entitlement, but one of self esteem. And as most readers of this site already know, anyone who depends someone else making a trip to Zales or FTD in order to feel good about themselves has serious fucking issues. Feeding that on Valentines Day is like handle a bottle of Jack Daniels to your local sot.
He is only going to come back looking for more, and he won't quit till his liver gives out.
All this talk of winos gets Elam thinking about the good old days, when he worked with substance abusers, and evidently spent much of his time trying to get them to blame women for all of their problems.
I used to counsel groups of men. It was a tough job getting them to be honest about women because of fears that putting reality on the table would drive women away. But with time almost all of them came to admit their constant frustrations with the pressures to to keep pleasing their women, especially where it concerns materialism. …
Almost without exception the men who were the most frustrated with financial pressures were also men who had entered those relationships wallet first, making sure Princess felt like a princess every minute of the day.
In other words, they went fishing with stink bait and caught bottom dwellers. And then they ended up silently stewing over it.
They got exactly what they paid for and nothing less.
What a wonderful counselor you must have been, Paul. So much empathy. So much insight. So much caring.
So, gentlemen, if you want your kisses to begin with Kay, please allow me to suggest a prostitute, or at least a woman that admits that is what she is. They may not actually kiss you, but I am thinking their skills in the fellatio department are considerably more developed. And when they are done they will go away!
How cool is that?
For Elam, every kiss begins with rage.

You're a really kitty now!
LOL yup! Mads and her friends the shoes have taken over the gravatars.
LOL I'm more likely to have vintage vegetables in my fridge. Chocolate just doesn't stay put that long.
Come to think of it, vintage vegetables would be just the Valentine's gift for these MRAs.

If a memory page is not used by a process, the kernel will swap it out
to the swap files or partitions, so the physical RAM can be used by
other (or the same) process.
If the swap space becomes full, then the kernel indeed can reclaim the
memory from a process. It does so by killing a process, at random (or
following some heuristics).

Understanding the Problem
Our ocean is under siege. From everyday trash like plastic bags, food wrappers and drink bottles, to larger items like car batteries, kitchen appliances and fishing nets, our debris is entering the sea at an alarming rate. Our ocean has become a dumping ground.
Marine debris is not only unsightly, it's dangerous to sea life, hazardous to human health, and costly to our economies. Marine animals can become entangled in debris or mistake small particles of trash for food – often with fatal results. Divers, swimmers and beachgoers can be directly harmed by encounters with debris or its toxins. And, the costs of plastic debris to marine ecosystems are estimated at 13 billion dollars a year.
Join us and take action against marine debris.
Working Toward Solutions
Project AWARE fights for the prevention and reduction of marine debris. Through our Partnerships Against Trash, we work with governments, NGOs and businesses to affect change on a global scale. In order to achieve a long-term solution, we must influence policy at local, national and international levels and prevent trash from entering the ocean in the first place.
Global change is empowered by grassroots movement. We need you – ocean enthusiasts and the scuba diving community – to help by taking action in your local communities!
Through Dive Against Debris, Project AWARE supporters remove undersea litter collected while diving and report results. Trash removed during Dive Against Debris makes the ocean safer for marine life, and more importantly, information reported helps inform policy change. With your help, Project AWARE can use the information you report through Dive Against Debris to convince individuals, governments and businesses to act against marine debris.
Together, we can work towards a clean, healthy ocean planet. Dive Against Debris today.

On Sumatra's Tranquil Side
One of Indonesia's least-known provinces, Bengkulu is stepped in history. Separated from the rest of Sumatra by the imposing Bukit Barisan mountain range, the region had its own language and script until being absorbed into the mighty Majapahit kingdom in the 13th century. Colonized by the British in 1685, the city became an important exporter of pepper under British Governor Sir Stamford Raffles in the 19h century. Bengkulu was also home-in-exile to Indonesia's first president, Sukarno, from 1938 to 1941. The city's long isolation has preserved its historic charm, and an altogether slower pace of life.
Located on Jl Raya Jati in the city's Sawah Lebar district, Hotel Santika Bengkulu is ideally situated for exploring the city's attractions, including the imposing and well-preserved Fort Marlborough, Sukarno's house, and the beautiful sunsets of Bengkulu's main beach, Pantai Panjang. For those looking to escape the city, the Bukit Barisan range beckons, just a short drive away.
At Santika Hotels & Resorts we combine local traditions with a natural touch to bring our guests the very best in Indonesian hospitality. At Santika, you can always be sure of a warm welcome. That's why we call ourselves your "home away from home"

Steeped in the tradition of a classic blues stylist, One Roof Blues has its roots firmly grounded with a Mississippi Delta sound. What initially began as a husband-wife acoustic duo, with Dave and Taylor Larocco, quickly became popular throughout Durango and the 4 Corners area. The sultry tone of Taylor's vocals blend seamlessly with the swampy bottleneck slide of Dave's 1934 National Resonator guitar.
By the summer of 2013, the popularity of Dave and Taylor's music quickly rose with the demand for their performances at private parties, weddings, and local watering holes. In the effort to expand their sound, the One Roof Blues duo invited additional band members, Randy Hays (harmonica), Jeff Kane (upright bass), and Mike Owens (drums). Since then, the One Roof Blues band has been playing regularly in the Four Corners area.

Winners & Losers in Wells Fargo's Bid for Wachovia
The stock market: The Wachovia-Wells Fargo deal announcement buoyed the Dow Jones Industrial Average by over 200 points despite news about the highest report of job losses in the U.S. since 2003. The fact that Wells Fargo isn't proposing government intervention also seemed to boost spirits.
Wachovia shareholders: Temporarily, at least, the announcement gives them faith that Wachovia isn't completely down-and-out. Some shareholders resented Wachovia being forced into a shotgun marriage with Citigroup even as the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. admitted that the bank did not fail. Wells Fargo is offering a 79% premium to Wachovia's last closing stock price and buying the whole bank. Under the Citigroup deal, Citigroup would have acquired the retail operations, the private bank and the corporate lending and investment banking businesses, but it would have left the "stub" of Wachovia Securities, the retail brokerage, and the asset management business for a much weaker post-Citi Wachovia.
The FDIC: The regulator would have been expected to backstop billions of dollars in Wachovia losses under the Citigroup agreement. Citigroup estimated that Wachovia had about $312 billion of toxic assets, only $42 billion of which Citigroup would have claimed as losses. That would have left the FDIC apparently responsible for well over $250 billion of risk, according to Citigroup's math. That's a cost the regulator can ill afford, considering that many bank failures are expected. The FDIC has only a $42.5 billion fund and recently asked for an emergency line of funding from Treasury.
The FDIC: Yes, it's both a winner and a loser. Wells Fargo is challenging the FDIC's authority by jumping a deal that the regulator itself brokered. That calls into question not only the FDIC's power, but also the FDIC's judgment in hurrying the sale of a bank that wasn't near failure. The FDIC forced a sale of Wachovia to Citigroup at $2.16 billion when it turned out Wells Fargo was willing to pay $15.4 billion with just a few more days of due diligence. And with a Wells Fargo deal, the regulator loses a valuable cash injection. Citigroup promised the FDIC $12 billion in warrants and preferred shares of Citigroup stock in return for limiting Citigroup's own potential losses on the deal to $42 billion. The FDIC, with its fund running low, would have liked a cash infusion of that size.
Citigroup: An acquisition of Wachovia would have made Citigroup one of the three largest retail banks in the country, with 9.8% of deposits, and would have made Citigroup one of the largest banks in the world with over $1 trillion of deposits. Citigroup, while a behemoth, had a retail branch system that was only one-third the size of Wachovia's. But if Wells Fargo succeeds, Citigroup will be lagging far, far behind the other members of the Big Three — Bank of America and J.P. Morgan. In a weird way, however, if Citigroup loses out here, it could actually be winning. If Wachovia goes to Wells Fargo, Citigroup has that much fewer toxic assets to worry about and doesn't have to spend time and energy soothing investors about its risk exposures. The bank is also still in the midst of a restructuring that would have been continuing as the bank integrated Wachovia. It's in Citigroup's interest, and the nation's, to make sure there's not too much on its plate.
Citigroup stockholders: How many beatings can an investor take? After years of dismal performance, Citigroup's stock is trading at less than half of its $52-week high of $48.95. Any investor who bought Citigroup stock in the hopes that the Wachovia deal would promise growth has to be holding his stomach right now.
Math: Citigroup and Wells Fargo both took a look at Wachovia's financials, and came to to radically different conclusions. Citigroup conservatively estimated $312 billion in toxic Wachovia assets, of which it limited its exposure to $42 billion in losses. Wells Fargo, on the other hand, expects only $74 billion in losses, and didn't identify a bigger pool beyond that? Why didn't Wells Fargo believe there was a $312 billion pool of toxic assets? If nothing else, the world needs to know why two reasonable minds can disagree so widely on writedowns and losses and the extent of Wachovia's portfolio troubles.
Trust in the financial system: As a very smart Deal Journal commenter pointed out today, banks aren't going to show up to the FDIC's midnight auctions if the bidding doesn't result in concrete deals. Having a giant merger like this jumped — or even potentially jumped — increases uncertainty. It also openly challenges the ability of federal regulators to find workable solutions and makes investors wonder who, if anyone, is in charge.

The National League Division Series are now set and the American League Divisional Series will be set after tonight's wild card play in game.
Obviously the series we are most interested in is the one featuring the St. Louis Cardinals and Pittsburgh Pirates. The Cardinals enter the NLDS as the top seeded team which gives them home field advantage throughout the playoffs and an extra couple of days rest to prepare. The Pirates won the wild card play in game against the Cincinnati Reds last night in a game that was in my opinion very poorly managed by Reds manager Dusty Baker in just about every aspect. The Reds did not look ready to play and started a pitcher who was very clearly not physically ready to start a game. The Pirates had an easy time of it as they disposed of the Reds 6 to 2.
The Cardinals and Pirates have played each other quite a bit this season and the Pirates have gotten the better of the Cardinals for the most part with the Cardinals faring a little better at home but not much. The Pirates did use their most consistent pitcher in winning last night's game so we will not be seeing Fransisco Liriano until Sundaybut the Pirates have other good pitchers and the Cardinals bats have not done well against them this year. The Cardinals will come into tomorrow night's game with a well rested pitching staff and their ace Adam Wainright on the mound. The Cardinals offense has played very well the last week and a half and they will need to continue their hot hitting tomorrow night. I think there is still a hole in the offense because of the injury to Allen Craig but they have begun to play better without him as Matt Adams has played much better as of late. The Pirates are starting a pitcher with no post season experience and have very few players on their roster with any postseason experience so I think the key is for the Cardinals to strike early keeping the home crowd into it throughout the game and putting as much pressure on the Pirates as possible. I also think it is imperative the Cardinals win both tomorrow night's game and Friday's game and head into Sunday's game in Pittsburgh up 2 games to 0. The Cardinals have never played well in Pittsburgh and having a two game advantage puts the Pirates in a position of having to win the next three games and that isn't easy to do. The Cardinals also need to get good starting pitching and avoid putting undue pressure on the bullpen which has performed admirably this year but there is a problem closing out games as Edward Mujica has struggled big time the last few weeks. If the game is still up for grabs in the ninth inning then that concerns me. The Cardinals can win this series but it's not going to be easy and they will need to play better against the Pirates than they have throughout most of this year.
The other NLDS matchup finds the Los Angeles Dodgers in Atlanta to play the Braves with game 1 of that series being tomorrow as well. The Dodgers are a team of two halves as they looked like they were destined for last place during the first half of the season before turning things around in a major way after the all start break and easily winning the NL West. The Dodgers have two of the best pitchers in baseball with Clayton Kershaw and Zach Greinke but they are having a hard time keeping outfielders healthy as they have already announced that Matt Kemp will not play during the postseason and Andre Ethier is doubtful at this point. The Dodgers were swept by the Braves in Atlanta earlier this year and I think split their games in LA. I have to go with the Braves in this series as they have played consistently well all season and their lineup is much healthier at this point. Their starting pitching doesn't exactly inspire awe but they get the job done and that's all that matters.
The Cleveland Indians and Tampa Bay Rays play their wild card play in game tonight for the right to go to Boston and play the Red Sox on Friday. The Rays have already played one game this week as they defeated the Texas Rangers 6 to 2 in the wild card tie breaker game on Monday night. Both teams are young and well managed but the Indians are the hotter team right now. They also have home field advantage. I could see this game going either way but I have to give the edge to the Indians at this point. It really doesn't matter though because I don't see either team getting past the Red Sox.
The more intriguing ALDS matchup begins in Oakland on Friday as the A's play the Detroit Tigers. The A's have been either in first place or just a game or two out of first place for most of this season and are a good young baseball team. They are a fun team to watch. The Tigers have been in first place for almost all of this season but have struggled at times going on a couple of long losing streaks. Most of the Tigers players were also in the World Series last year and Jim Leyland is an incredible manager. They also have a slight edge in pitching in my opinion which could give them the edge they need. I can very easily see this series going the full five games with either team coming out on top. I have to give the edge to the Tigers though.
We'll be back on Friday with a look ahead to a jam packed weekend of sports action. Keep the conversation going by following me on Twitter at KDEBlog. Thanks for checking out this blog and please take time to look at all the other excellent blogs on this site.

The Edge of Hip: Vice, the Brand
By VANESSA GRIGORIADIS
Published: September 28, 2003
YOU see a lot of strange things at fashion shows, but models chugging cans of Pabst Blue Ribbon is not usually one of them. Two weeks ago, however, at the show put on by Vice, a Lafayette Street boutique, a series of gaunt men and women in $200 overalls and $80 T-shirts applied their bee-stung lips to cans of beer and then gleefully tossed the remainder of the brew -- sometimes nearly half the can -- on the whimpering audience. In the front row, a slender woman with a fuchsia streak in her hair raised an umbrella.
After the show, a sendup of Fashion Week, the wet 20- and 30-something crowd gathered in a parking lot next to the store, gripping plastic cups of beer pumped from a keg and eating barbecued hot dogs served by waitresses on pink roller skates.
In many ways, Vice, which is less known for retail lines than for publishing a free glossy magazine found at downtown boutiques like Seize sur Vingt and record stores like Other Music, embodies the apex of hipsterdom 2003. What that has meant this year is a trailer-park sensibility, embraced with and without irony, that has taken hold among postcollegiate society in the Silver Lake district of Los Angeles, in Brooklyn and on the Lower East Side of Manhattan.
The fashion aesthetic is epitomized by vintage shirts with high school football logos and the foam-front trucker hat. In entertainment, the touchstones are the Southern rock revivalists Kings of Leon and testosterone-charged skateboarder-influenced shows like ''Jackass'' and ''Punk'd.'' In contrast to older and gentler downtown style guides like Paper magazine, Vice shuns the Nirvana generation's wounded sense of responsibility, instead embracing a frat-boy crudity and ethnic stereotypes. Think of it as a lad magazine for the Williamsburg set.
''Of all the magazines that are out there, I think that's the one that nails hipster culture on the head,'' said Robert Lanham, author of ''The Hipster Handbook,'' a recent satire in the spirit of ''The Official Preppy Handbook.''
As Jimmy Kimmel, a comedian on ABC-TV, put it: ''People throw the term 'politically incorrect' around a lot, and normally it's a lot of bluster, but Vice truly is un-p.c. Their brand of humor is what I would do if there were no 'standards and practices' on TV.''
The magazine has its detractors, especially among women, and the retail store (which has three branches) is accused by online bloggers of commercializing hipsterdom. But so far the stores and the magazine have proven successful. The Cassandra Report, a trend survey issued by Youth Intelligence, part of the Creative Artists Agency, recently queried 300 ''trendsetters'' who ranked Vice as one of the top three magazines among people 19 to 30.
Founded in 1994 in Montreal by three out-of-work friends -- Gavin McInnes, now 33, Suroosh Alvi, 34, and Shane Smith, 33 -- Vice acquired a $10 million cash injection from a dot-com company (now defunct) and moved its operations to Manhattan, opening retail stores in SoHo, Los Angeles and Toronto.
The founders, who recently started British and Australian editions of the magazine, say their business plan is to use Vice's credibility with young people to form partnerships with record labels and clothing lines, something that is already under way.
At Vice stores the merchandise is a mix of high fashion and kitsch, including $1,000 Evisu men's suits and women's underpants with ''I Don't Have AIDS . . . Yet'' in blue script on the front. (Plans include opening another store in Tokyo and a pub in London.) The American edition of ''The Vice Guide to Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll'' has just been published by Warner Books with cover endorsements from Rolling Stone (''Hot Book'') and Entertainment Weekly ('' 'It' Read'').
Atlantic Records is financing a Vice Records label, which has signed the Streets and issued a compilation of downtown cult bands like Interpol and Le Tigre. Showtime has ordered a ''Vice'' cable pilot, to star David Cross of ''Mr. Show'' fame. And Vice has five movies in production, the founders say, including one starring Casey Affleck and another written by Mr. Smith and Spike Jonze, the director of ''Adaptation'' and ''Being John Malkovich.''
''Spike is the one guy in Hollywood who's one of us,'' Mr. Smith said. ''He's not going to make a wack film. He's going to make a cool film with us.''
All of which raises a question: if Vice spreads its brand of fashion, journalism and entertainment across the map, how hip can it remain? Will they still love it on Lafayette Street if it's at the mall in Massapequa? By definition, hip taste is embraced by hipsters because the masses don't get it -- and can't buy it. (Nor should a hipster ever admit to being one; Mr. McInnes says hipsters are ''spoiled rotten.'')
Mr. McInnes, who has a full beard and a tattoo across his back that reads ''Destruction'' and who serves as the unofficial spokesman for Vice magazine, dismisses the notion of selling out.
''The term 'sell out' is juvenile and naïve,'' he wrote in an e-mail message from the company's unkempt offices in a graffiti-lined warehouse in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
Mr. Smith called the appeal of the trailer-park aesthetic purveyed by Vice the latest twist on bohemia's old nostalgie de la boue.

Antiproliferative Activity of β-Hydroxy-β-Arylalkanoic Acids
AbstractArticle describes the synthesis of fifteen β-hydroxy-β-arylalkanoic acids byReformatsky reaction using the 1-ethoxyethyl-2-bromoalkanoates, aromatic or cycloalkylketones or aromatic aldehydes. The short survey of previously reported synthetic proceduresfor title compounds, is given. The majority of obtained compounds exert antiproliferativeactivity in vitro toward human: HeLa, Fem-X cells, K562, and LS174 cells, having IC50values from 62.20 to 205 μM. The most active compound is 3-OH-2,2-di-Me-3-(4-biphenylyl)-butanoic acid, having the IC50 value 62.20 μM toward HeLa cells. Sevenexamined compounds did not affect proliferation of healthy human blood peripheralmononuclear cells (PBMC and PBMC PHA), IC50 > 300 μM. The preliminary QSARresults show that estimated lipophilicity of compounds influences their antiproliferativeactivity in the first place. The ability of dehydration, and the spatial arrangement ofhydrophobic portion, HBD and HBA in molecules are has almost equal importance aslipophilicity.
