Mogoeng Thomas Reetsang Mogoeng (born 14 January 1961) is the current Chief Justice of South Africa, in office since 8 September 2011.[1][2][3]
Early life[edit]
Mogoeng was born on 14 January 1961 in Goo-Mokgatha (Koffiekraal) village near Zeerust in the North West Province.[3] His father was a miner and his mother a domestic worker.[4] Mogoeng became politically active at high school, from which he was briefly suspended for organising a memorial to the victims of the Soweto uprising.[4]
Mogoeng received a B.Juris in 1983 from the University of Zululand and a Bachelor of Laws in 1985 from the University of Natal.[1] There he had been active in the Azanian Students' Movement during a time of grave repression by the SADF.[4] From 1985 he worked for the government of Bophuthatswana as a High Court prosecutor in Mahikeng;[1] though working for a bantustan was stigmatised, Mogoeng was obliged to do so for five years to repay his government bursary.[4] He obtained a Master of Laws by correspondence from the University of South Africa in 1989.[1]
Mogoeng left Bophuthatswana's civil service the following year to begin practice as an advocate.[1] After a short period at the Johannesburg Bar, Mogoeng returned to Mahikeng, where he practiced for six years.[2] He was the chair of Lawyers for Human Rights' Bophuthatswana chapter and a part-time lecturer at the University of Bophuthatswana (now North-West University).[1][4]
Judicial career[edit]
In 1997, Mogoeng was appointed to the North West High Court[5] – though he had felt initially that he was too inexperienced to be made a judge.[4] He became a judge of the Labour Appeal Court in 2000 and the Judge President of the North West High Court in 2002.[1]
In October 2009, in President Jacob Zuma's first raft of judicial appointments, Mogoeng was elevated to the highest court in South Africa, its Constitutional Court.[1] He was appointed simultaneously with Chris Jafta, Sisi Khampepe and Johan Froneman.[3]
Nomination as Chief Justice[edit]
Less than two years later, in mid-2011, Mogoeng was nominated for appointment as Chief Justice. Mogoeng's nomination was extremely controversial, drawing strong criticism from across the political spectrum, including from within President Zuma's own Tripartite Alliance, as well as from the press, local and international civic organizations, legal academics and bar councils.[6][7]
Mogoeng was one of the Constitutional Court's most junior members, having been appointed to it less than two years earlier, and having been a relative unknown at one of the smallest High Court divisions prior to that.[3][8] Besides his general lack of reported judgments, critics noted that he had failed to recuse himself in S v Dube,[9] a case where his wife had appeared as the state prosecutor.[6][7]
In addition, Mogoeng was nominated ahead of the expected appointee, Dikgang Moseneke, who had served the Constitutional Court for nine years and as Deputy Chief Justice for six.[7][10] Moseneke had already been overlooked once before, when Sandile Ngcobo was appointed Chief Justice, and his second snubbing was attributed to his Pan Africanist Congress background and remarks at a social occasion distancing himself from the ruling African National Congress (ANC).[11] Mogoeng's own meteoric rise under the Zuma administration raised concerns about his independence.[8][12][13] His nomination ahead of Moseneke reminded many of the notorious supersession by L. C. Steyn, a National Party favourite, of Oliver Schreiner.[8][14] Finally, whereas Moseneke had been active in the struggle against apartheid, COSATU said it was concerning that Mogoeng had been a prosecutor for a bantustan.[15][16]
But the most widespread concerns were about Mogoeng's judgments in rape and gender-violence cases.[6][15][16][17][18][19] The Nobel Women's Initiative accused Mogoeng of invoking dangerous myths about rape and of victim-blaming.[20] Of the many judgments cited by critics in which Mogoeng had been lenient on rapists and domestic assailants, three were emphasised. In State v Sebaeng, Mogoeng reduced the sentence of a child rapist on the basis that he had been non-violent and indeed "tender" in raping the victim.[21] The 2005 case of State v Moipolai involved the rape of a pregnant woman by her long-term boyfriend. Despite several aggravating factors, Mogoeng reduced the man's sentence from ten years' imprisonment to five because the rape was, he said, not as serious as if a stranger had committed it.[22] Finally, in State v Mathebe, Mogoeng reduced the sentence, from two years' imprisonment to a fine of R4,000, of a man who had tied his girlfriend to his car and dragged her 50 meters along a dirt road. Mogoeng's explanation was that the man had been "provoked". When these three judgments were raised in a BBC interview, Mogoeng compared his judgments in sexual-assault cases to a game of football, saying it would be wrong to call Manchester United a bad team because it loses three matches in a season.[23]
Legal academic Pierre de Vos said Mogoeng was clearly the most conservative member of the Constitutional Court.[13][24] He pointed to Mogoeng's ambivalence over gay rights – in Le Roux v Dey[25] Mogoeng dissented, without giving reasons, from paragraphs which said it was not defamatory to call someone gay – and to his dissenting judgment in The Citizen v Robert McBride,[26] which would severely restrict freedom of expression.
Interview and appointment[edit]
Moseneke, as the country's Acting Chief Justice pending a permanent appointment, chaired the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) when it interviewed Mogoeng to determine his suitability. Mogoeng seemed prickly throughout, having to apologize to Moseneke for lashing out at one of his questions.[27] In response, one commissioner told Mogoeng he seemed "arrogant" and unsuited to the position.[28] Commentators said that Mogoeng's conduct at the interview heightened concerns about his judicial temperament.[29] Mogoeng's own view was that he had been "rock solid" at his interview.[4]
Mogoeng's appointment was recommended by the JSC and confirmed by President Zuma on 8 September 2011.[30] The JSC's decision to appoint Mogoeng, despite his many critics, coupled with the partisan conduct of the JSC's political appointees during his interview, suggested to some that the JSC had been captured by political interests.[29][31][32]
Record as Chief Justice[edit]
Criticism of Mogoeng's suitability, and of his close ties with the Zuma administration, continued well after his appointment.[11] But in his public addresses he has, in the view of commentators, been "outspoken" and "forthright".[33] He has regularly championed judicial independence and deplored interference by the executive.[34][35][36][37] He has also publicly criticised Minister of Justice Michael Masutha for failing to ensure that the judiciary is autonomous and adequately funded.[38] In June 2015, it emerged that Mogoeng had been the target of two smear campaigns – apparently showing that Mogoeng had, through his outspokenness, "made enemies" in the establishment.[33] The following month, Mogoeng called a meeting of senior judges who released an exceptional press statement "reject[ing]" criticisms of the judiciary made by Gwede Mantashe and Blade Nzimande in the wake of the ANC government's allowing Omar al-Bashir to leave South Africa in contravention of a court order.[39][40] Mogoeng was widely praised for his "efforts to protect the independence of the judiciary".[41]
In 2012, Mogoeng upheld a constitutional challenge by Mario Oriani-Ambrosini, of the minority Inkatha Freedom Party, to rules of Parliament that allowed an individual MP to introduce a Bill only if he or she first obtained the majority's approval.[42] Mogoeng also held against the government in the high-profile litigation in Helen Suzman Foundation v President.[43] His majority judgment struck down several sections of the South African Police Service Amendment Act of 2012 (the so-called Hawks Act) on the basis that they did not constitute an "adequately independent" anti-corruption unit.[44] (Other members of the Court would, however, have gone further, and struck down other sections which Mogoeng upheld.) Mogoeng's Court also found against the government in Democratic Alliance v President (per Yacoob ADCJ), setting aside President Zuma's highly controversial appointment of Menzi Simelane as National Director of Public Prosecutions.[45] Finally, in October 2014 his Court handed down judgment in National Commissioner of the SAPS v SALC (per Majiedt AJ) and ordered the South African Police Service to investigate allegations of torture in Zimbabwe committed by and against Zimbabwean nationals.[46] This judgment was hailed as a victory for universal jurisdiction.[47] In its wake, one influential columnist said that those who had expected the Constitutional Court to take a pro-executive turn under Mogoeng had been proved wrong.[48]
In F v Minister of Safety and Security Mogoeng strongly deplored sexual violence and held the state liable to compensate a young girl who had been raped by an off-duty policeman.[49] And in 2013 he was praised for his "unexpected progressiveness" at the hearing of Teddy Bear Clinic v Minister of Justice, where his questions from the bench showed "he was clearly moved by the notion that consensual sexual behaviour between minors should not be criminalised".[28] This judgment (per Khampepe J), together with those Mogoeng himself wrote after becoming Chief Justice, were said to show that his "jurisprudence has not been as conservative as some critics thought" it would be.[28] In DE v RH, in which the Court unanimously abrogated the action for adultery, Mogoeng wrote separately to emphasise that the law cannot be used to enforce marital ethics.[50]
Religious views[edit]
Mogoeng is a lay preacher in the Pentecostal Winners' Chapel.[51] He attributed the criticism over his nomination and appointment to his Christian faith.[52] But in Mogoeng's view, stated at his JSC interview, God wanted him to be Chief Justice.[53]
Concern about Mogoeng's religious conservatism did not abate during his tenure. In March 2012 he was publicly criticised for requesting judges to attend a leadership conference hosted by Christian evangelist John C. Maxwell, raising concerns about the separation of church and judiciary.[51] And in May 2014 he gave a speech at Stellenbosch University arguing that religion should infuse the law to a greater extent, "starting with the Constitution".[54] He quoted from the Bible, compared the three branches of government to the Holy Trinity and railed against social evils like "fornication". Mogoeng's speech sparked a media furore, in response to which he sought to offer clarification. The resulting press conference seemed to confirm rather than allay the media's fears.[55][56][57]
Mogoeng's religious convictions have also found their way into his judgments: in McBride, for example, he railed against the use of "foul language" and South Africa's "being denuded of moral standards", and cited the Bible.[26]
Head of the JSC[edit]
Transformation row[edit]
The Judicial Service Commission has attracted criticism under Mogoeng's stewardship, in part because of its attitude to the racial "transformation" of the judiciary. For example, the JSC was criticised for its "brutal" treatment of High Court judge Clive Plasket when he was interviewed for promotion to the Supreme Court of Appeal.[58] Bellicose JSC members seemed to have selectively attacked Plasket[59] – "improperly castigating" him,[60] using him as a punch-bag "to release some pent-up frustration",[58] and depicting him as racist despite his well-known anti-apartheid activism. He was ultimately not appointed, in favour of two candidates whom many South African lawyers regarded as obviously inferior.[58][60] The JSC has repeatedly struggled to fill vacancies because insufficient candidates have applied; in the view of many, this is because few are willing to subject themselves to the selection process[61] - though this problem predates Mogoeng's tenure.[62]
In April 2013 Izak Smuts, one of the JSC's senior members, resigned because of the its "disturbing" appointment record which "has left a trail of wasted forensic talent in its wake".[63] He cited the examples of Plasket, Geoff Budlender, Azhar Cachalia, Jeremy Gauntlett and Willem van der Linde. Smuts also published a discussion document which criticised the JSC's overemphasis on race, and neglect of merit, which tacitly barred white males from appointment and turned JSC interviews into a "charade".[64] In response, senior members of the JSC said that racial transformation was indeed "highest on the agenda", and that, since Smuts did not seem to agree, he "was correct" to resign.[65][66]
Shortly after Smuts's resignation the Helen Suzman Foundation took the JSC to court over its allegedly "irrational" refusal to appoint certain candidates.[67] An earlier decision of the JSC – taken in April 2011, shortly before Mogoeng became its head – had already been declared unlawful on this basis by the Supreme Court of Appeal.[68] Soon after the Foundation's court application, Chief Justice Mogoeng gave a speech at an Advocates for Transformation event in which he said a "deliberate attempt is being made to delegitimize the JSC" through "scare tactics" and blamed this on "a well coordinated network of individuals and entities" – possibly apartheid agents, Mogoeng implied – "pretending to be working in isolation from each other".[69] Mogoeng called on his audience to defend "genuine transformation" and oppose "this illegitimate neo-political campaign to have certain people appointed". This now "infamous"[70] speech was criticised for departing from the requirements of judicial impartiality and seeming to betray a racial bias.[71][72] Paul Hoffman SC sought to have Mogoeng impeached on the basis that he had brought the judiciary into disrepute,[73] but this complaint was itself widely criticised as "ill-considered"[74] and "weak on the law"[75] and was dismissed by the Judicial Conduct Committee.[76] A year later, when Hoffman and Smuts appeared in an unrelated case before the Constitutional Court (coincidentally involving the Helen Suzman Foundation), Mogoeng strongly criticised the conduct of their client's case and upheld a rare punitive costs order against him.[43] One commentator described this as a "discredit" to the Court's usual approach.[77]
In September 2014, the Helen Suzman Foundation's interlocutory application to have the record of the JSC's deliberations made public was dismissed by the Western Cape High Court.[78]
Skweyiya vacancy[edit]
After the retirement of Justice Thembile Skweyiya in May 2014, Mogoeng stated that he wanted to appoint a female judge in his place.[79][80] The vacancy was then left open for over a year, as a series of female acting appointments were made instead, apparently to provide a test run. This dilatoriness in making a permanent appointment was criticised by commentators, who said it was corrosive of judicial independence and inconsistent with the South African Constitution.[81][82] The stated reason for the delay, namely the need to find competent female candidates, was said to be "patronising" and unconvincing.[79][82] The JSC finally acted to fill the vacancy fourteen months after it arose.[83]

Barnes & Noble - Christina UrbanThe third spin-off in the long-running Law & Order franchise (after Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and Law & Order: Criminal Intent), Trial by Jury lasted only 12 episodes during its 2005 broadcast run. Whether that short life was due to L&O overload, creator Dick Wolf's decision to deviate from the original formula, or some other factor, it remains a solid and superbly cast procedural. Rather than following its predecessors by showing the police investigation before moving on to the eventual trial, Trial by Jury focuses strictly on judicial procedure, along with the preparation and strategies necessary to make the case. Former Frasier star Bebe Neuwirth plays Tracey Kibre, and ex-Third Watch cast member Amy Carlson portrays Kelly Gaffney, two assistant district attorneys taking on Manhattan's worst. Assisting them with fact finding is Investigator Hector Salazar (Oz's Kirk Acevedo), and the mother ship's Jerry Orbach as Detective Lennie Briscoe. Unfortunately, Orbach was in failing health (he died in December 2004) and was able to appear in only two episodes. Replacing him for the remainder of the series was Gilmore Girls' Scott Cohen as Detective Chris Ravell. Rounding out the cast is Fred Dalton Thompson, Law & Order's hard-nosed D.A., Arthur Branch. The DVD is an especially welcome addition to the L&O library: Extras include the excellent SVU episode, "Night," which crossed over to TBJ in "Day," as well as deleted scenes and featurettes. The best news, though, is that the box set offers the series' very last episode, "Eros in the Upper Eighties," which never aired on NBC.

Not as good as the original or SVU but the epsiodes are well written and it was an intersting twist to the old law & order story. I would recommend this to any Law & Order fan

Montana Boarding, Wheres your Diamond in the Ruff?
Whats up yall, been living in MT since 06'. Love riding and checking out new areas.
I recommend checking out Cooke City, after the New Year.
What area or runs, do you love to shred?
Bridger Bowl is sick :thumbsup:
I've also been to Whitefish (aka Big Mountain), which was fun because it was somewhere different, but I personally wouldn't go back unless I lived right by it.
Always wanted to check out Big Sky too.
My brighton pass is good for 10 days at Big Sky, definitely thinking about road trippin it up there is this season. Looks like a fun mountain.
Live about 7 min from the lift at Big Sky. Very nice mountain (not biased of course). Great snow quality, trees and steeps. No lift lines except tram. Lacking in cliff bands and other natural terrain features in-bounds. I also get Moonlight pass but I don't venture over there much. My son spends all day in moonlight park. Big sky park is average IMO. Of course I'm no expert.
I haven't hit Bridger yet. On my list though. I do drive to Jackson sometimes. About 3 hr on good day.
People say Big Sky is hard to get to. I kind of disagree. Yes you may or may not have to take a connection flight into Bozeman. However, the drive is less than an hour and a straight shot from airport. Airport was recently expanded and is quite nice.
103 Attachment(s)
I'm looking at a Bozeman trip in late February this year. I've seen some ridiculously inexpensive lodging - even for large groups of people - just outside of town...
Could try to coordinate a meet-up or a forum trip?
o yea, runs. I can't get enough of trees and steeps under challenger. Honestly could spend all day just riding that lift. Look to left midway up for small cliff/rock drops. If your man enough there are Steep pillows off andesite snakepit stay left. Make sure conditions are good.
Look right off the triple to see how long the tram line is on powder day. If too long do the bowel then go to challenger. If short, hurry up and skate over there cause it may not be that way for long.
You can lap the tram by doing Otterslide then gullies. Need to traverse left to the tram before you hit the bowl. Otherwise you have to take long cat track back to triple.
Ok, I'll get in trouble if I say much more.
Ha, funny you mentioned that...I was just checking out flights from SLC > Bozeman/Ennis Big Sky. Cheapest was $440! :laugh: This is at the end of feb too.
I figure it would be a really nice drive though, only 5+ hours, definitely sure to see some good scenery along the way.
Red lodge is my mountain since i live on the eastern side.since i just started snowboarding,i stayed mostly there but will venture back out to Big sky,BB,and moonlight. I hope to make it to either Discover or Loss Trail this season
I'll be at Big Sky for the first time the second week of April this 2012. Assuming it will still be really good snow conditions then? Have a conference scheduled there at the lodge so I'm super stoked.

Historical Traveler Reviews Candlewood Suites San Diego
Good hotel in Mission Valley area
We stayed at this property for three nights in January. Very well located for all San Diego attractions/sights. Front desk staff very helpful. Full breakfast selection was welcome - especially for busy tourists. Room was clean and spacious - but a bit institutional. I was also not prepared for exterior entrances to all the rooms. I might have chosen a different property if I had known that in advance (just my personal security level). Room was quiet even though we faced the freeway - the hotel is up a hill behind another property. We booked directly with the hotel for $80 per night. I wouldn't rate this a motel property but not a full service 'nice' hotel either. However, we were looking for a reasonably priced property with more than motel amenities and this seemed to be it in this area in San Diego. In general, I would rate this property higher than a Days Inn but lower than a Hampton Inn/Sheraton Four Points.
Good price and convenient location but spartan
My family and I (we have two young children) stayed here the weekend of January 15, 2005. We paid $80 per night for a queen executive suite. It's smaller than the queen deluxe but actually has a door to the bedroom. The room was spacious and clean and the staff was friendly and helpful. The location was conveniently on Hotel Circle if not scenic. My main complaint was the spartaness of the decor and thin walls. I could hear the bed squeaking above me at 4am (we travelled from the east coast so I was on east coast time). Not pleasant. The suite was so spare it was institutional. It's been a long time since I stayed in a room so barren. We stayed the Hawthorn Suites in Warren MI over Thanksgiving and the decor and facilities were much nicer. The room was smaller and it was about $20 a night more expensive. The morale is you get what you pay for. They also charged me $20 for the crib, which I thought was tacky. Our rate did include breakfast but it wasn't particularly appealing to anyone in our family so we never ate it. Next time I'll spend a few bucks more for something at less spare.
Excellent staff
The staff at Hawthorn Suites in San Diego were great. They were courteous, helpful and informative. The Hawthorn Suites is a great place to stay. The suite has a separate bedroom, small kitchen area, and living room. It was spacious and quiet. A full breakfast buffet is included every morning and in the afternoon there is a complimentary cocktail hour from Sunday to Thursday. I highly recommend this hotel.
Great Quality -- Family-Friendly Prices!
My family and I stayed at the Hawthorn Suites in early July, 2004, for $80 per night for a one-bedroom suite -- a king sleeping room with a fold-out double in the sitting room. The rooms were extremely clean and more than large enough for our family of four. It was really nice having a separate room for the kids after a long day at SeaWorld, the Zoo and Wild Animal Park and the beaches. Located off I-8 on Hotel Circle South, the Hawthorn Suites are both quite AND convenient! The continental breakfast was great as was the afternoon "social" -- but both would have been even better if you were allowed to take breakfast and/or drinks back to your room. After all, you have a kitchen -- refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher.... We also appreciated the coin-operated laundry and small "pantry" with items to purchase at the hotel. We'll definitely stay at the Hawthorn Suites again!
Not that good and won't stay
June 5-8, 2004
Booked it based on reviews. Won't stay there again. Hotel was very old, but room was huge and TV was new. Customer service was fine. Breakfast was good. We had terrible and noisy neighbors. Did not have good experience with this hotel. I was not relaxed at all.
TV Trouble in SD
We stayed a week May 23-28, 2004. The room was fine and the service just as good.
The hotel has an excellent location for reaching downtown and the parks nearby.
One thing they need to work on is improving the TV channels. We had our kids with us and with no PBS or Disney channels, TV viewing was a problem.
Quiet a trip!
Well, let me first say that we booked at this hotel because we had hyatt points and our stay was free. My family was finishing out the last part of our California vacation (Disneyland) in San Diego. Our plan was to go to Legoland and the Zoo and maybe a few beaches. This hotel was very centrally located in San Diego for all the sightseeing as well as restaurants and shopping. The first 1 bedroom suite that they gave us had a terrible smell so we requested a different room which they promptly gave us. The suite was clean, spacious and very quiet. The complementary breakfast included scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, biscuits, toast, muffins, waffles, cereal, fruit, juice, coffee.
While we were at the Hawthorn Suites, our daughter had a febrile seizure and was transported via EMT to Children's Hospital (5 minutes away). The staff was very attentive to all of our needs and very quickly changed our bed linens when our baby projectile vomited all over them. While our stay in San Diego was not exactly what we expected (our baby is doing fine, thankfully), the Hawthorn Suites was a very nice place for our family of 4.
Terrible Service
I booked a 2-room suite at Hawthorn Suites in San Diego through Orbitz for one night six weeks before my stay. My family and I arrived around 5pm and were told by the lone clerk that someone else had cancelled our reservation (not us) and that there were no rooms available in the hotel. The clerk had to call his manager on the phone to find out what to do. Then over the course of 1/2 hour he called hotels in the area trying to locate another room. Then he told us that there was a suite down the street at Holiday Inn, but 10 minutes later when we got to Holiday Inn, they had just given their last room out. The clerk at Hawthorn had not reserved the room that he had found for us, and it had been given away! Luckily the person ahead of us in line gave up her room to us, so now Holiday Inn was trying to get Hawthorn to fax over information so that Hawthorn would be billed the ~$100 extra that the Holiday Inn room cost over our reservation at Hawthorn - this took another hour or so. (And we weren't going to have a suite like we were supposed to.) Well, it turned out that Holiday Inn and Hawthorn did not have a billing agreement, so HI could not bill Hawthorn. Needless to say, I took the room I could get anyway and I was highly dissatisfied with Hawthorn. Their operation is totally incompetent!
Great hotel
great hotel!! Rooms are huge. Excellent hot breakfast. staff were very helpful. Good location no road noise at all or any noise for that matter. Would definately stay there again.
Very Spacious
The rooms were huge! Very nice hotel with great view. Very quite, back behind other hotel off the freeway. Great central location. Better than average breakfast with eggs, bacon, etc. buffet. Reasonably priced especially for the size of the rooms. No pool, but spa. Highly recommend this hotel when you are in San Diego!

Trip to San Diego to watch some baseball
... access to a paseo type walkway that went all the way around the bay. It was an awesome place to take Zoe for walks and to ride our bikes. (This was the first trip we took our bikes with our new bike rack.) We went to games on both Saturday and Sunday. Jamie and Ryane have a suite so watching baseball at Petco Park is first class. We went home on ...
Race Around Day
... thoughts of sleeping in the car was in our thoughts again. We drive a little further and see a sign saying "campers campground" so we head off the highway and follow the sign. We drive around 4km and were headed into no-man's land so we decided to turn around. We head down the opposite side to what looks like a service road and get to another campground. We pull over and Aaron asks a couple out of the window whether this campground requires permits and ...

The Irrawaddy magazine was sold on Tuesday in Burma for the first time since the once-banned journal was founded more than 20 years ago.
The May issue of the magazine, which ran a cover story on Burma's relationship with China and the US, went on sale in Rangoon and Mandalay.
The Irrawaddy was first published in 1993, fast becoming a journal of note for Burma watchers with its focus on promoting press freedom and independent media. But restrictions imposed by the former military junta meant it could not be published inside Burma.
After President Thein Sein's quasi-civilian administration came to office in 2011, Irrawaddy publisher and founder Aung Zaw, along with other members of staff, were allowed to visit Burma, with the magazine even opening up a Rangoon bureau in October 2012. The first copies of The Irrawaddy were distributed inside Burma without charge in December 2012 and March 2013.
Interested readers can purchase The Irrawaddy for 2,800 kyat (US $3.50) at well-known book shops in Rangoon and Mandalay. It aims to expand its network of distributors, sending copies of the magazine to shopping centers such as City Mart and to the capital, Naypyidaw.
"There are many people in the market who are quite interested in The Irrawaddy," said Chan Myae Aung, The Irrawaddy's marketing manager.
Kyaw Zwa Moe, the editor of The Irrawaddy magazine, said from now on it will publish the magazine on a monthly basis, featuring sections including news and analysis on Burma's political, economic, social issues, opinions, lifestyle and cartoons.
"The May issue pays special attention to the sectarian violence in Meikhtila city in Mandalay Division. The cover story was an analysis on the situation of relations between Burma and China, what kinds of policies they have practiced on each other and future prospects of their relations," explained Kyaw Zaw Moe.
The Irrawaddy was founded in 1993 by a group of Burmese journalists living in exile in Thailand. It is a leading source of reliable news, information, and analysis on Burma and the Southeast Asian region. Its website receives more than five million monthly readers from around the world.
Congrats. Keep up your promise to speak for the oppressed. Speak for humanity, speak for truth. May god help you move forward.
Amen to that. Well done, like a dream come true.
Best wishes and good luck for the next 20 years.
Keep up the good work, and thank you for being there.
Congratulations Irrawaddy. My best to you.
Congratulations to the Editor and Journalists of the Irrawaddy News. Keep up the pressure with the truth in Burma or Myanmar. Three Cheers for Freedom of The Press!
Congratulation to you for being back in Burma!That is a great symbolic part of the new Burma.
Congratulations! Now I hope during the next 20 years all your reporters are safe. It's still a very dangerous job there.
Congratulations Irrawaddy!
"And then my heart with pleasure fills and dances with the daffodils"
I hope that the world journalistic body recognizes your efforts and rewards you.
Congratulation! It's your victory day, The Irrawaddy Magazine and its owner/editor. Your perseverance, hard-working, and all sufferings throughout the past 20 years has finally paid.
A very big applaud by people all over the world!
Before all the news magazines produced in Myanmar ,Irrawaddy magazine is the first one I regularly read and always will read in future too
A step forward, stay strong, stay grounded and press on.
That's the mighty "Irrawaddy". Continue to be true to yourself. Don't be cowed by anybody. Engage political leaders, civic society leaders, radicals, extremist and philanthropists there and write about them fearlessly, as always.
Dear Irrawaddy, Well Done !! 20 long years of Hardship and now at the Newsstand in Burma. As the Global Community know Burma on account of U Thant , Now the World know Burma on account of "The Irrawaddy" . Your Action speaks louder than words. Please accept my salutation.
Let me congratulation to Irrawaddy for it highest achievement started from zero to hero.
I hope Irrawaddy will maintain standard of Journalism and help Burmese peoples most needed general knowledge and world current affair by given truth story and news from across the world.
Let me suggest you about using word of Rohingya ethnic for illegal Bengali Migrants from Rakhine state.
I do understand about why Irrawaddy has using Rohingya name for illegal Bengali Migrants on Irrawaddy website. However, Irrawaddy must use illegal Bengali migrants' word and should not use Rohingya. I hope Irrawaddy will respect Burmese peoples wish and their feeling.

Layoffs in November
December 31, 2001
In November, there were 2,699 mass layoff actions as measured by new filings for unemployment benefits. Each action involved at least 50 workers from one establishment and the number laid off totaled 293,074.
Over the January-November 2001 period, the total number of events, at 18,920, and initial claims, at 2,228,945, were substantially higher than in January-November 2000, at 13,061 and 1,508,849, respectively.
After the events of September 11, BLS added a new code for reason for layoff, 'non-natural disaster,' for use in the quarterly reporting of extended mass layoffs (those lasting more than 30 days). In the 10 weeks following the September 11 attacks (the weeks ending September 15 through November 17), employers reported 350 extended mass layoff events involving 103,781 workers separated as a direct or indirect effect of the attacks.
These data are products of the Mass Layoff Statistics program. Mass layoffs data for October and November 2001 are preliminary and subject to revision. For more information, see news release USDL 01-496, Mass Layoffs in November 2001.

Perhaps the best pairing to result from spring training is that of baseball and St. Patrick's Day. Depending upon one's interests, a major league spring training game can be enhanced by a tasty spring training St. Patrick's Day brew, a pre- or post-game event, or the sight of two teams sporting bright green jerseys.

LEVI'S FIT KIT: Levi Strauss & Co. today plans to begin to test a new high-tech fitting system at its store in New York's SoHo neighborhood. The store will be the first of five Levi's locations to sport an Intellifit booth, which scans a fully clothed person in 10 seconds and calculates his or her measurements. The booth will then recommend which sizes of what styles of Levi's jeans will fit the shopper in question. In April and May, the company plans to move the test to its stores in Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles and San Francisco.
BETSEY ADDS ON: Designer Betsey Johnson signed a licensing agreement with Cejon Accessories to produce a collection of shrugs, ponchos, scarves, hats and gloves launching for spring 2005 retailing.

The National Osteoporosis Foundation estimates that half of all women over the age of 50 will eventually develop osteoporosis and that 80 percent of Americans with osteoporosis are women.
Women also sustain 75-80 percent of all hip fractures. For older people, a hip fracture often marks the end of independent living and admission into a nursing home.
Osteoporosis is a threat to an aging woman's ability to live an independent, self-directed life.
Osteoporosis has been considered a "women's disease," but 20-25 percent of all hip fractures occur in men. As the U.S. population ages, more senior men are expected to become affected by osteoporosis.
Deborah Kado, MD, MS, and Elizabeth Barrett-Connor, both professors at UC San Diego School of Medicine, are co-investigators on a seven-year nationwide study of osteoporosis in older men, known as MrOS. Funded through 2018 by the National Institutes of Health, MrOS examines the risk factors for osteoporosis, fractures and prostate cancer in 5,995 men, aged 65 and older.

The pigment epithelium has two types of processes: (1) relatively slender, fringe-like villi projecting between the outer segments of the photoreceptors, and (2) broad, rampart-like cytoplasmic sheets encompassing the tips of the outer segments. The latter processes play an important role in the normal cohesion between neuroretina and pigment epithelium. In addition, they are capable of phagocytosing the tips of outer segments by protruding inward from all sides. This leads to the formation of pigment epithelial inclusions termed "phagosomes." The phagosomes disintegrate in the pigment epithelium, which results in a change of their morphology. A classification for these morphologically different pigment epithelial inclusions is proposed.

Jean Marc Mormeck Returns on June 26th, at Cruiser
By Per Ake Persson
42-year old Jean Marc Mormeck (36-5) will return to action and have a fight lined up on June 26 in d´Asnieres (France). Mormeck was last seen in 2012 fighting Wladimir Klitschko and was blown away in four after a poor performance but for his comeback Jean Marc will drop down to cruiser where he held both the WBA and WBC titles. He retired after losing to David Haye in 2007 but returned as a heavyweight in 2009 where he won four straight before getting a shot at Klitschko. As for his comeback opponent, the French Federation have turned down Georgian Shalva Jomardashvili based on his poor recent record with six losses in his last ten fights, five inside the distance.
[QUOTE=Evil_Meat;14565318]I like Mormeck but after the O'Neil Bell fights he really hasn't shown much and I think he must be almost 40 now.[/QUOTE] Um, if you read the first three words of this post it says he's 42Comment by cleming on 05-18-2014
He is truly a nice dude and has been a terrific cruiserweight. I don't expect much from his comeback though, but I wish him the best. I can imagine how frustrated he is about the Klitschko non-fight and I understand…Comment by Andre Wardttke on 05-18-2014

OSCARS Q&A: 'The Artist's Jean Dujardin On His Doubts About The Black-And-White Silent Film And The Joy Of Taking Risks
It's easy to pass off Jean Dujardin's swath through awards season as the stuff manufactured by Weinstein machines. Hardly so. When SAG awarded its best acting prize to the unknown French actor Stateside over Hollywood fave George Clooney, it was clear that the status quo voted with their hearts. The Academy felt the same way, bestowing upon him his first Best Actor Oscar nomination. While Clooney morphs his dramatic essence from Michael Clayton through The Descendants, Dujardin — a Clooney-type in his homeland — trumps with his bygone set of dancing and mime skills. Dujardin admits he was daunted by challenges of portraying Hollywood silent film actor George Valentin — a composite of Douglas Fairbanks and Gene Kelly, topped off by the French actor's uncanny Clark Gable mug. But he's just being modest: Check out his previous collaboration with The Artist helmer Michel Hazanavicius, the 0SS 117 franchise, and it's obvious that the actor's physical talents were already there, the local comedy a mere warm-up before his graduation to silent black-and-white shtick. He spoke with AwardsLine's Anthony D'Alessandro via a translator about his awards-season run.
AWARDSLINE: I understand you were hesitant before committing to The Artist because it was a silent movie. What worried you?
DUJARDIN: The unknown. I didn't know King Vidor's movies and I was worried that Michel would ask me to uphold the entire film. I didn't want to do a sub-category of Chaplin. Chaplin is unique, but there's only one. Michel said "No, I want to make a love story." And he told that with the camera. But there was a short week of doubt of "What am I getting myself into?" Then I regretted ever thinking like that because I never think of the completed film, rather the adventure of what I'm about to live.
AWARDSLINE: 0SS 117 is another Hollywood homage, but to 1960s spy cinema like the 007 films. Did you feel pressure to uphold that film?
DUJARDIN: No because I was chosen before Michel committed. I had a huge hit with the producers prior, and they offered my part from the script and then they presented me lots of different directions and I met Michel.
AWARDSLINE: You're one of the highest paid actors in France [Dujardin's salary per film is estimated at $3 million].
DUJARDIN: I don't think so [laughter], but I make a good living.
AWARDSLINE: Was there any concern that if The Artist tanked at the box office, it would tarnish your possibilities of securing future roles? Was there a risk career-wise of taking this film on?
DUJARDIN: No, I never think in those terms, otherwise I couldn't be doing this as a profession. As an actor and director, you have to take risks, even though I don't like saying that word. You can make a mistake. In many cases for an actor it's a comfortable position to be in. But it's harder to fail as a director. Nonetheless, Michel is condemned to only making masterpieces because it would have been very arrogant to make a movie like this if it hadn't been a success. But you can't think of these things before you commit. You have to remain fresh and have the desire to make something.
AWARDSLINE: Harvey Weinstein is known for taking actors and directors under his wing. Has he been a godfather to you in your career? Has he made suggestions to you as far as what genres or projects you should tackle as an actor?
DUJARDIN: At the moment Harvey is doing what he does best — we made the movie and now he's selling it. Without Harvey it would be hard to reach the audiences here.
AWARDSLINE: Is campaigning for the César Awards similar to the Oscars?
DUJARDIN: [Laughing] Not at all in any way, shape or form! Let me tell you how it (the Césars) works: You send out the screeners to the Academy, voters watch the film at their house, they fill out their ballots and there's one ceremony and that's it. No Q&As. You just look at the movie, you watch and then vote.
AWARDSLINE: Since getting awards traction, have you received any interesting film offers, now that you're signed to a major Hollywood agency?
DUJARDIN: Nothing concrete in Hollywood for the moment, but I'm in no rush. I'm living this adventure now because I don't like having too many projects in the pipeline. I like to focus on what's at hand. I don't like to shoot too many movies since I like to do them well. Next up for me is a spy thriller, Mobius, which starts shooting in April.
AWARDSLINE: Given how global you've become as a star, are they changing that script around to sell you to wider audience outside France?
DUJARDIN: That's not my style at all. I give myself over to another director and as an actor I make myself fully available. I don't represent myself as a star, but an actor who wants to make movies.

hope he wins
Re: last answer
Sorry Jean, you are now a star.
So very handsome.
He's refreshing!
A class act. He deserves a win.
He makes my heart JUMP. I hope he wins, want to see his acceptance speech… What a breath of fresh air.
He's a cool dude. I like him and not just because he was great in The Artist. He's very talented, funny ( did you see him on Leno?) and suave. I hope he wins.
I adore him — hope he wins the Oscar and look forward to his future work (although probably not 'Les Infidèles' :) doesn't look like my thing…)

Join the conversation after every Eagles game with the Daily News. Send reactions by email to firstname.lastname@example.com ; use the hashtag #eaglesaftermath on Twitter; or visit the Daily News Facebook page. Here is a sampling after Monday night's loss to the Saints.
IF THERE was ever a team that deserves to have the season end it is this Eagles team. They have absolutely zero chance of winning more than a game or so, nor should they even bother trying. The offense is pathetic with the exception of McCoy but he can not do it all and Foles will do better to learn his trade next camp so as not to have him killed with the obvious lack of an offensive line. The defense is a long way from being successful and the special teams stink. The next coach (before Reid is dismissed) to go should be Bobby April - he has shown no ability above the high school level to coach in the NFL.


text:
"Mike's doing good," Derek Dooley said following Friday's practice. "He's our second tight end. He's getting better every day. He's kind of a solid guy. He doesn't wow you at anything but he's getting better at everything. He's blocking a lot better and he can make some plays in the passing game, so we're glad he's here."
Rivera is glad he's here, too. He believes he has made tremendous strides since preseason camp began two weeks ago.
"I feel I'm doing great right now," he said. "Fall camp is now over and I'm starting to get in the football season groove - fully in shape, head's in the playbook and the ball's starting to roll.
"It's really different from fall camp because fall camp was getting in shape and trying to learn things. Now I've done all of that."
Jumping from high school football to major college ball is a tough adjustment. Rivera says the jump from juco ball to college ball is no piece of cake, either.
"The biggest adjustment has been the speed," he said. "The SEC speed is real hard to adjust to (because of so many) big, fast guys. Now that I've gotten used to that, it's a matter of staying in shape, staying healthy and physically doing everything I can to make plays."
Tennessee uses its tight ends in a variety of ways. Rivera says he was utilized much the same at College of the Canyons, however.
"Similar. Very similar ways," he said. "Junior college had me split out in the slot, tight end position, fullback going in motion - and I'm doing all of the same things here.... There's always similarities. Football's football. It's different (in some ways) but I'm in the groove now."
There is one significant difference between Tennessee's attack and the one he played in last fall.
"I'm going from a spread offense to more of a power pro-style offense here," he said. "It's a little more banging (blocking) but I got used to it."
Head coach Derek Dooley has made no secret of his fondness for two-tight end sets. Naturally, that makes Vol tight ends very happy.
"It sounds really good," Rivera said. "The two-tight end system is great. Luke is teaching me a lot, and we're trying to go out there and make plays together."
Stocker caught 29 passes last fall and led all SEC tight ends with a 13.4 yards-per-catch average. Rivera couldn't have a better role model.
"He's teaching me techniques, teaching me tricks," Rivera said. "You can just go down the line, and he's taught me it. He's taught me a lot. He's a real good mentor."
The biggest lesson Rivera learned from Stocker was visual, not verbal.
"I watch his work ethic when he's in and I'm out," Rivera said. "I'm a player while I'm off the field, and his work ethic is really good. He doesn't take a play off. He always grinds, so I like to study him."
Minus a quarterback who threw for 2,800 yards (Jonathan Crompton), a tailback who rushed for 1,345 yards (Montario Hardesty) and all five starters from the 2009 offensive line, Tennessee's offense projects to be mediocre this season. Rivera isn't buying it. He has too much faith in offensive coordinator Jim Chaney.
"This offense is great," Rivera said. "Coach Chaney is The Man."

Cathy5 Stars Out Of 5Great Little Book!September 29, 2014CathyQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5My sister gave me a copy of this and I LOVE it! I needed something "short and sweet" to remind me that GOD IS STILL HERE!! It's a very quick read and, no, it's not "counseling" or an in depth study. Just compact information to pick you up when you feel you've slipped into the pit! As always, Max is the BEST!!!
sonlynwilLaHabra, CaAge: 45-54Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5AwesomeMarch 6, 2014sonlynwilLaHabra, CaAge: 45-54Gender: femaleMany times in life we just need enough to give us some fuel to get us going. That's what this book is; fuel. In this book we are reminded that several individuals throughout biblical history had major challenges; Daniel, Jonah and not to mention Paul. Yet, God was always there. As humans we don't expect to suffer and "an easy fix" is what we would be most comfortable with. God just wants us to trust him, and when we do, " we will get through it" The author even reminds us that it won't be painless. Even Christ suffered a cruel death on the cross, and the victory - he arose! I plan to purchase several copies for some special people in my life.
happy2beHisARAge: 55-65Gender: female1 Stars Out Of 5Wish I had passed on thisOctober 18, 2013happy2beHisARAge: 55-65Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 2Meets Expectations: 1I have a friend who is going through some very difficult times at the moment so I bought this with her in mind. I was so disappointed I almost threw the book away. However, since my sister goes to church with Max, I will give it to her. Maybe she can find a use for it.
There was no depth to this at all for me. It was almost like patting someone on the back and saying, "Well, things well be better tomorrow!" without offering any help for today - rather like what Jesus said in the Bible about the person being hungry and all you do is say, "Have a good day!" How is that supposed to help? This book is NOT helpful in my opinion! I have already written two poems for this woman that have helped much more than this book would help.
My suggestion would be to look elsewhere for something to help in trying times because this is not it - and I feel certain Max can do better than this. It may just be that condensing the larger book down to this smaller version was akin to "losing something in the translation": it lost too much in the shortening. Maybe you want the full version. You definitely do not want this mini version.
