Jim Cramer: Washington Pulls the Rug Out
It's indisputable that we were about to take off in this domestic economy after a slow recovery from the recession.
The twin trends of a return to a slow climb in the value of housing as well as the renaissance of industry courtesy cheap natural gas were enough to get things rolling. The lack of new construction, the age of the average car -- 11 years -- the need to be able to get out of your in-laws' house and buy housing of your own, something that had actually been put on hold, all of these had created what looked to be a sustainable recovery, despite the problems in Europe that were clearly worsening.
You don't get fantastic numbers for companies as varied as PetSmart (PETM), Cisco (CISCO), Home Depot (HD), Kors (KORS), TJX (TJX), as well as Boeing (BA), Ford (F) (domestic), Dow Chemical (DOW) (domestic) and pretty much every consumer packaged goods, aerospace, telecom and health play if things aren't improving. Yes, we can complain about the earnings, but the retail, restaurant, housing and auto industries were all doing incredibly well as recently as October and the question was going to be, I believe, how much longer can the Fed stay accommodative in 2013 if these trends pick up. It's really only the companies that have moved aggressively into Europe and those that depend on Asia for marginal growth that have been really hurting and we have had enough hopeful signs in China for me to believe that 2013 could be a good year for the companies depending on the Peoples Republic of China for its recovery.
All of these trends meant that the most important statistic, the one that is most correlative to the stock market -- employment -- was going to turn up in 2013. That was going to be the elixir that made it worthwhile to be bold and buy aggressively.
Suddenly, all of that is out the window. Suddenly, none of it matters. Once again, Washington has pulled the rug right from underneath us and every one of those positives is now either being overlooked or simply don't matter because they are about to change for the worse.
That's what we saw yesterday with that awful press conference where the president made it pretty clear that there is no hope for anything to happen quickly to resolve what 2013 is going to look like and we are going to see sharp increases in taxes and sharp declines in spending that can trump all of the good news we have been seeing. There's simply no need to hire and plenty of reason to fire until we get there and the smartest executives are going to be like Dave Cote from Honeywell (HON) and not hire to respond to the regular retirement quota that occurs naturally at big American companies.

Today at Ethika Politika, I review The Ox-Herder and the Good Shepherd: Finding Christ on the Buddha's Path by Addison Hodges Hart:
Addison Hodges Hart, a retired pastor and university chaplain, offers in The Ox-Herder and the Good Shepherd a wonderful exercise in comparative religion, examining the common ground that can be found in spiritual practice between Christianity and Buddhism. Hart focuses on the ten ox-herding icons of Zen, originating in China by the master Kakuan and accompanied by his verse and prose commentary. Hart, then, adds his own Christian perspective on the spiritual journey depicted and described by Kakuan, highlighting in the end his emphasis that outer acts of compassion require a prior, inner transformation.
One such person who was inspired by an inner, spiritual conversion not only to "outer acts of compassion" but also to build a freer and more virtuous society was the Indian Emperor Ashoka.
Lord Acton writes in his address "The History of Freedom in Antiquity,"
But in all that I have been able to cite from classical literature, three things are wanting: Representative Government, the emancipation of the slaves, and liberty of conscience. There were, it is true, deliberative assemblies, chosen by the people; and confederate cities, of which, both in Asia and in Europe there were so many Leagues, sent their delegates, to sit in federal councils. But government by an elected parliament was, even in theory, a thing unknown. It is congruous with the nature of Polytheism to admit some measure of toleration. And Socrates, when he avowed that he must obey God rather than the Athenians, and the Stoics, when they set the wise man above the [civil] law, were very near giving utterance to the principle. But it was first proclaimed, and established by enactment, not in polytheistic and philosophical Greece, but in India, by Asoka, the earliest of the Buddhist kings, 250 years before the Birth of Christ.
Tantalizingly, this is all that Acton says about Ashoka (="Asoka"). Who was he? Why does Acton single him out? (more…)

New Ulm doctor charged with stealing pain medication
NEW ULM – Dr. David Christopher Miller, a physician with the Physicians Group of New Ulm and a consulting doctor for the New Ulm Evaluation Center, has been charged with stealing the pain medication Oxycontin from a vulnerable adult.
Three felony controlled substance charges were filed in Brown County Distict Court this week.
According to the criminal complaint, Miller allegedly took the medication from a patient, and tried to mask the theft by replacing the pills with over-the-counter drugs.
The incident was initially brought to the New Ulm Police Department when staff at an unnamed assisted living facility noticed the pills in the prescription bottles were different from those delivered. When New Ulm investigators contacted the family of the vulnerable adult, they were informed that the family thought it was unusual that Miller made house calls to assist in the medication sorting.
Miller, 59, was apprehended at the assisted living facility on Feb. 11 by NUPD and taken to jail. He has since been admitted to detox in Albert Lea, according the Brown County Jail administrator.
During the investigation, police set up hidden surveillance cameras and recorded Miller stealing the pills during his meeting with the patient. The meeting took approximately 12 minutes. The pills were later recovered in Miller's coat pocket.
Sixty pills were delivered to the patient, according to the complaint. A police officer removed 56 pills from Miller and took them as evidence. Miller admitted to the officer that he had consumed three of the pills, according to the complaint.
A Brown County official with direct involvement with Brown County's detox center confirmed Miller has worked at the facility as a consulting doctor from New Ulm Medical Center. The responsibilities cover consulting with officials at the detox center on how to handle medical or health problems with new client admissions.
Miller has previously reported and received disciplinary action over multiple forms of substance abuse by the Minnesota Board of Medical Practice.
The Board filed a Corrective Action against Miller on July 16, 1994. At that time, he was confirmed to have sought treatment at The Terraces in Ephrata, Pa. for depression and alcohol/chemical dependency. In addition to alcohol, he used cannabis several times weekly and took five to 30 Percocet tablets daily under the guise of obtaining "samples." The order says he later wrote prescriptions for himself under false patient names and abused other drugs like tranquilizers, barbiturates, amphetamines and hallucinogens.
He was ordered to abstain from controlled substances and to undergo treatment. but he violated the terms two months later by writing prescriptions to himself for Precodan and Percocet. He received a Disciplinary Action by the Board on March 11, 1995 and had his medical license restricted. His license was reinstated without conditions on Sept. 9, 2000 after following the terms of his Disciplinary Action.
Miller's profile with the New Ulm Medical Center's website lists one of his special interests as addiction medicine.
New Ulm Medical Center released this statement: "New Ulm Medical Center is aware of the charges pending against Dr. David Christopher Miller, a physician with the Physician's Group of New Ulm who is on the medical staff at NUMC. At this point, we are still gathering information on the charges and any follow-up by NUMC will be handled internally and confidentially."
Police are investigating to see if there were any other victims or further thefts of medications at the hospital.

Best interest standards do not correlate with the reality of physicians' decision making in life and death choices
- Department of Pediatrics, CHU Sainte-Justine, Montreal, Canada

Department of Pediatrics, CHU Sainte-Justine, 3175, Côte-Ste-Catherine, Montreal, QC H3T 1C5, Canada; antoine.payot{at}umontreal.ca
Implications for nursing practice and research
■ Clinicians appear to take decisions relating to resuscitation and non-resuscitation that do not always adhere to the best interest standard used in clinical ethical guidelines.
■ Discrepancies between best interest valuation and the respect of families' requests not to resuscitate shows that shared decision making is lacking in most cases.
■ There is a need for a shared decision making process with all patients and surrogates.
■ Further research is needed to explore decision making in this context.
The best interests standard is widely used in clinical ethical guidelines to frame emergency medicine practice in the absence of guidance by patients or their family. It is at the heart of the beneficence …

Mural to be painted in IM downtown in June
IRON MOUNTAIN -The Iron Mountain Downtown Development Authority/Main Street (DDA/MS) has been awarded a grant of $4,000 from the State of Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs (MCACA).
The grant was awarded the MCACA peer review process and was one of the 233 applications to compete for the MCACA fiscal year 2012 funding.
"We are thrilled about this collaborative effort between the MCACA and the DDA/MS to help support our Power of Words community mural project," noted DDA/MS Manager Jonathan Ringel.
Organizations receiving a MCACA grant award are required to match those funds with other public and private dollars. Local support of the project includes Rocconi Ace Hardware, Blackstone Pizza Co., Superior Aviation and the Dickinson Area Community Foundation.
"The Iron Mountain DDA/MS also receives significant volunteer support from the community and appreciates the help of local art students, art teachers and artists from the community including Darlene O'Connor and Joan Game.
The Power of Words project is will result in the painting of a mural on the alley wall of the Blackstone Pizza Co. building on East Hughitt Street designed by artist Mia Tavonatti, an Iron Mountain native.
The community will be invited into the creative process through an online vote to determine the "One Word" that will become the theme for the mural, and numerous grants will be awarded by the Svelata Foundation to local artists and students who will participate in the painting of the mural under the direction of Mia Tavonatti. Public participation is strongly encouraged.
The MCACA peer review process allows for each grant application to be competitively considered by a panel of in-state and out-of-state arts and cultural professionals.
This ensures the taxpayers who support this project through legislative appropriations, and all other visitors or residents in Michigan will have access to the highest quality arts and cultural experience, Ringel added.

Malaga make knockout stages
Malaga, in their maiden campaign, and Porto became the first teams to progress through to the last 16 of the Champions League on Tuesday night.
- Related Content
Both Malaga and Porto boasted 100% records from their opening three games, and although neither side were able to win tonight, respective away draws against AC Milan and Dynamo Kiev were enough to secure top-two berths for both clubs.
Group C pacesetters Malaga took the lead at the San Siro through Eliseu's 40th-minute goal but were pegged back by Alexandre Pato's 73rd-minute effort - the Brazilian's first Milan goal since last December and the first the Spanish side had conceded in the Champions League.
Also in Group C, Anderlecht moved into third place, a point behind Milan, with a 1-0 home win over Zenit St Petersburg, Dieumerci Mbokani scoring the only goal in the 17th minute.
Porto, meanwhile, moved on to 10 points in Group A following a goalless draw away to Dynamo Kiev.
The Portuguese outfit look set to be joined in the last 16 by Paris St Germain, who remained just one point behind following a Zlatan Ibrahimovic-inspired 4-0 thrashing of Dinamo Zagreb.
Ibrahimovic did not manage to get on the scoresheet but was involved in all four goals scored by Alex, Blaise Matuidi, Jeremy Menez and Guillaume Hoarau as PSG moved five points clear of third-placed Kiev with two games remaining.
Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid shared the points at the Bernabeu with the Spanish giants twice fighting back from deficits thanks to Pepe (34) and Germany international Mesut Ozil (89). Dortmund had taken the lead through goals from Marco Reus (28) and an own goal from Alvaro Arbeloa (45).
Closing the gap on the top two were Olympiacos, who moved onto six points - one behind Arsenal - after claiming a second successive victory over Montpellier.
After earning a stoppage-time win in France a fortnight ago, Olympiacos again left it late before snatching victory tonight with two goals in the last 10 minutes from Leandro Greco and Kostas Mitroglou.
Those strikes came after Younes Belhanda's second-half penalty for Montpelier had cancelled out Paulo Machado's early opener for the the Greek side.

The morning started out about as beautiful as it could have for a day on Lake Superior. The water was calm with no wind, the temperature was warm and the coolers were full of food, beverages and ice, lots of ice for cooling down any fish we caught.
Then the signal went off at 6 a.m. sharp and the 2013 version of the Marquette Bay Classic was under way. It didn't take long for the 54 teams of anglers to fan out in their boats from Marquette's Upper and Lower harbors.
A short time later boats starting racing back to the dock to get their early catches tallied for the catch-and-release trout and salmon categories.
Seeing those boats fly back into the harbor raised the hopes of the crew on Reel Mission, the team I was on. Our heightened anticipation was soothed soon after a beautiful sunrise when a salmon hit and was boated, then another followed suit.
Those two were weighed in and released alive back into Lake Superior, and we were on the board. Alas, the action slowed for us with only a couple small lakers landed, but the day was a rousing success nonetheless.
That seemed to be the way it was for all the teams in the classic, especially those that pulled in some nice trout and salmon and fished their way into the prize money.
A fine example of this is team Searcher, captained by Burt Harris with his wife Barb, John Granato and his son Michael Granato rounding out the team.
The team was having an average day on the water until near the end of the tournament, when the younger Granato hauled in what proved to be the biggest fish of the classic – the 27.26 pound lake trout shown in the photo accompanying this column.
That's a dandy laker for the near-shore waters off of Marquette, and turned out to be worth $1,000 for team Searcher seeing it was the biggest lake trout registered. In addition, the large fish pushed Harris and his crew into third place in the catch-and-keep trout category, bringing in another $250 for the team.
Sponsored by the South Shore Fishing Association, the tournament committee made some changes this year that were well received by participants.
Included was a change from the $2,500 "wild card" prize, which included combining a team's largest salmon with its largest trout for a single prize, to separate categories for the largest trout and largest salmon with each paying out $1,000.
There were also five places in each of the four main categories, as opposed to having only the top three places win cash as in the past.
Ironically, there were only four teams that entered the catch-and-release trout category, so the fifth place went unclaimed. This was a little frustrating to our team, seeing that we caught a couple lake trout not far out from Marquette and didn't bother entering them in either trout category because we figured there were so many other teams entering lake trout. We won't make that mistake next year.
Another shift this year was going to separate weigh-in locations for live-release and catch-and-keep categories, which kept the boat traffic flowing better. Tournament officials also waited to weigh fish in the catch-and-keep category so all the boat crews would have time to make it over to the fish dock and watch as all the fish-laden coolers were hauled up for the final weigh-ins.
All-in-all it was a beautiful day on Lake Superior with a good crew and an upbeat atmosphere surrounding the activities.
We didn't even care that much that Reel Mission didn't get into the prize money, especially the member of the crew who won a canoe in the raffle held at the captain's meeting the night before the classic.

Cycloteuthids are mesopelagic squids of moderate size, the largest reaches about 60 cm ML, with a cosmopolitan distribution in tropical and subtropical waters (Nesis, 1982). In Cycloteuthis the mantle and fins are drawn-out into a slender tail. A tail is lacking in Discoteuthis and the large, oval (disc-like) combined fins extend virtually the full length of the mantle. Very little is known about the biology of any species in the family.

I remember your mom very well. I always thought she was so pretty and nice. That picture of her in her uniform is about the way I remember her. This was a very nice blog entry, Rita.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you, Jan. She was a very special lady. She worked so hard all her life. Glad you have good memories of her.Delete

I just wanted to say a few words about my Nana. I remember playing hide and seek in her house, and she taught me how to make "ants on a log". She had a beautiful garden which I would spend hours admiring. To this day, everytime I look at my flowers, I think of her. I remember her as being kind and very loveing. Nana, I miss you very much and I love you more than I can express. I know that you are still with mom and I, and that someday we will see you again. ♥ ♥ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you, Jessica.Delete
Rita, this is really sweet! Your mom sounds like she was a very special person. Thank you for sharing these memories with us. TinaReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks, Tina. I debated for quite a bit if I should post about this but it turned out okay. I don't like to be negative on the blog.Delete
Remembering our Ladies is never being negative. Please don't refrain from doing so. I never heard any of these memories before.ReplyDeleteReplies
There are plenty more where that came from.Delete
I loved reading your memories of your mom. thanks for sharing them.ReplyDelete

I remember your mom, too, Rita. She was always willing to drive us to the East High games, and would always say, "sometime soon, you girls will be driving yourselves to the games." Turns out, she was absolutely correct, which is another story...ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes. We have many stories don't we old friend.Delete
Seems to me as if you are remembering her just fine! I think recalling one memory leads to another and another. Cherish each one! Thanks for sharing. I'm now thinking about my dearly departed mother, too! I think we will always miss our moms no matter how old we get.ReplyDeleteReplies

Stage Fright
Running a wild 167 miles from Arizona to Utah in North America's first self-supported stage race
The men's lead pack traverses sand dunes near sunset near stage 3, the longest stage of the Grand to Grand Ultra. Photo courtesy of Grand to Grand Ultra.
This story originally appeared in our January of 2013 issue
Running up a steep sand dune feels like scrambling up a slick snow bank: You plant one foot and it slides back, so you quickly plant the other and it slides too, and when both feet slip uncontrollably you flop forward on your hands. You might eventually give up running or walking and resort to crawling, which is what I did under a starry sky in the Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park near Kanab, Utah.
Sand caked my hand-held water bottles and sweaty limbs. Sand seeped into my socks despite the full-cover gaiters on my shoes. Sand scratched my eyes as I strained to spot the small orange flags marking the course.
Ahead and behind, spread out over miles, dozens of other runners shared this journey as part of the inaugural 167-mile, seven-day, self-supported Grand to Grand Ultra, the first race of its kind in North America. But at around 10 p.m. on this September night, I felt very alone—and very tired. In three days, I had put 95 hard desert miles on my legs.
My shoulders ached from a pack that held my food and gear, and I still had another 12 miles to go before reaching camp, and 60 miles more in the four days to come.
An hour earlier, when I reached the dunes in the twilight glow, they spread for miles like smooth, salmon-hued mounds of meringue that curved and formed fin-like ridges. Their softness and bareness stood in stark contrast to the brushy, rocky landscape of prickly cacti, gnarled piñon and barbed sagebrush that we had spent the first two days running through. The beauty and my accomplishment filled me with happiness that bordered on euphoria. Predictably, a comedown was imminent. Energy and spirits plunged after dark.
Footprints from the frontrunners blemished the dunes' surfaces but showed the way—until they forked and faded to black. Two roads diverged in a pink dune … Lightheaded, I tried to remember the Frost poem that my sixth-grade son had to memorize for school. One foot in front of the other crowded out all thoughts.
A couple of miles later, the dunes flattened and transitioned to a sandy road. I could run again. I could see more clearly. In fact, I could see the faint glow of something ahead on the ground. It looked like a dim headlamp. Worried that another runner had dropped his or her source of light, I approached to pick it up.
The glow, it turned out, was the reflection of the light from my headlamp in a pea-sized eye. The eye was in a triangle-shaped head. And the head belonged to the coiled body of a large snake.
I shrieked, jumped back and sprinted down the road—as fast as one can sprint in ankle-deep sand, that is. The near-venomous encounter gave me enough of an adrenaline jolt to catch the lead woman about a mile later.
Several days earlier, before the race began on September 23, 60 runners from all over the globe showed up in Kanab, a.k.a. "Utah's Little Hollywood." Our arrival seemed like the biggest thing to hit the two-stoplight town since Clint Eastwood, Sidney Poitier and other stars visited to film their Westerns.
The name "Grand to Grand" comes from the event's starting point, at the north rim of the Grand Canyon, and its finish line, near the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in Utah. Kanab sits roughly in the middle, near the Arizona-Utah border.
Dozens of local volunteers rolled out the welcome wagon, donning Stetson hats and Wrangler shirts to host a chuckwagon-style pre-race dinner. The close-knit Mormon community is trying to open itself up and become a destination for adventure seekers visiting what's known as the geologically exquisite "Grand Circle" formed by Southern Utah's national parks and the Grand Canyon.
I first met the other racers on a bus ride from the Las Vegas airport. The participants represented 15 different countries, and some wore patches on their shirts from Morocco's seven-day Marathon des Sables or Racing the Planet's 4Desert series. Stories buzzed around the bus about the dreaded salt flats in Chile's Atacama crossing and a near-fatal stretch in a multi-day race in Namibia, as if it's normal to travel the globe to run 250K (155-mile) self-supported stage races.
When they queried about my background, I'd say, "Northern California. … Nope, never done a multi-day race. … Nope, never done a 100-miler."
I had never embarked on a week of trail running anything like this: back-to-back long runs, with the course divided into six stages of 31 miles, 29, 47 (followed by a rest day), 25, 26 and 9. Carrying all my food and gear on my back, ascending more than 18,000 feet on rolling hills and steep buttes at high altitude. Sweating through hot days, shivering on cold nights. Sharing a tent with strangers. Marveling at the Southwest's multi-hued, layered rock formations. And running on sand—lots of sand.

Did you mean?Try your search again
Could you suggest me some nice bed and breakfast in Paris?
Sorry to hear this site is shutting down.
I had an incredible summer honeymoon in Switzerland thanks entirely to commenters on this forum. I'm really grateful.
This question is very broad but I thought I might get lucky again!
Hoping for a may/June family holiday this year.
Traveling with a three year old and a one year old.
Beach, hotel, pools, nature, good food, a nice little town nearby.
We really want it to be child friendly with food and drink readily available but not too big a complex.
Also considering Italy and Greece, I'll post over there too.
Many thanks if you have any thoughts!
What would be the best way to go from Chinon to Chambord Chateau? I will only have an afternoon.
I will be ending a tour of southern France on a Thursday - end of Sept 2017. The tour will include: Pont du Gard, Arles, Les Baux, and Nice. I will have 7 days (following Thursday night) to get back to Paris for return flight.
What would be a good trip? I have not seen Monaco, Antibes, Cannes, Marseilles, Aix en Provence, Vaison la Romaine. I would not mind going to Orange again. Prefer TGV rail over driving, but could rent a car for short trips.
I'm keen to visit Villers Bretanneux while in Paris. I can catch a train to Amiens but need to be able to get to VB for a visit,then go to the Australian war memorial about a mile away. Any suggestions. I don't want to pay the E300 for a full tour of the Somme region. Driving isn't an option
Hello Paris experts ;-)
We'll be attending the U2 show in Paris on July 25 and want to add a couple of extra days in and around the city.
I don't yet know where we'll be staying.
Our boys - who will be 9 and 11 by then - will be joining us. In fact it was their idea go along to a show and then our oldest one decided he wanted to see the Eiffeltower ... And what's a mum to do then but to buy tickets for the Stade de France then ... anything to keep the young ones happy (and now I can 'blame' them for the trip ;-) ).
We'll likely arrive there around noon on friday 21st and leave for home again on wednesday 26th.
Do any of you have a suggestion as on what kids might enjoy doing. The Eiffeltower is a must. Besides that: they don't mind a museum (as long as it doesn't take an entire day), they like history and they're not fussy about walking.
I've read something about the sewers tour ... do you think that's worth doing with kids?
As always: thanks for your input!
Mon ami et moi prévoyons d'aller à Paris dans quelques semaines. Mais parce qu'il est froid, nous voulons prendre le métro. Mais est-il sûr après tous les événements de cette année?
Je souhaite une réponse rapide.
Je vous remercie à l'avance!
Traveling to Paris (3 days) and then to Caen (2days). Using the train system. Looking to stay close/walking distance or central point to stations. What station that would be? and any tips of what/where to stay (hotel wise) On a budget but safe area please. Thank you for your help.
We will be spending a few days in Carcassonne in May-June and have things pretty well sorted out. However, it would be nice to hear from you if you have any suggestions for things we should not miss. Also, restaurant recommendations would be welcome for Carcassonne, Narbonne, Beziers and/or Collioure.
Thanks - this could well be my last question before VT gets the deep six.
I will be in Paris this early Feb and would like to go to a scenic spot similar to the Alps. Perhaps Jungfrau Switzerland or somewhere nearer Paris or Geneva? I only have 2 days though. Our free time will be Friday the whole day until Sunday morning. We need to leave by Sunday morning (either from Paris or Geneva). Any suggestions?

Dave Ramsey says kids should work for car
Dear Dave, My husband and I are on track to be debt-free by the end of the year. We have two vehicles, and his employer will give him a company car in a couple of weeks. Our son is about to turn 16, and he really likes our truck. Should we sell the truck or keep it for him? �Tracey in Chicago, Ill. Dave Says: I think you should keep the truck with your son in mind. You could give him ownership, but make sure you keep it in your name until he turns 18. Now, I wouldn�t just give him the truck. I think he should have to work and earn some money to put toward something of this magnitude. Someone needs to walk the dogs, cut the grass, and even babysit once in a while. There�s absolutely nothing wrong with a young man of his age taking on those kinds of responsibilities. Just handing a kid the keys to a vehicle will cause nothing but problems later. Make him do some work and earn that ride! Brought to you by: American Profile - Inspirational Stories & American History

"To lose one parent, Mr Worthing, may be regarded as misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness."
—Oscar Wilde, The Importance of Being Earnest
A very British crisis needs a very British epigraph. The BBC has lost not one, but two directors general in the space of three months. The first, Mark Thompson, left the Corporation under what seemed like orderly circumstances to take up a post as chief executive of The New York Times, a job he officially starts on Monday. The circumstances of the second departure are far messier. George Entwistle, who had been in the job barely more than a month, did "the honorable thing" on Friday and resigned after two editorial mistakes made by the formerly well regarded BBC program Newsnight made his position untenable.
Entwistle's resignation on Saturday was directly linked to a report broadcast by Newsnight on November 2 that misidentified a public figure allegedly involved in a child abuse scandal. The report, connected to an already broiling scandal, did not make things any worse, theoretically, for Thompson. But the BBC he left is now facing a very serious challenge to its future and independence.
The turmoil at the BBC started with a revelation involving a now-dead TV presenter and public figure, Jimmy Savile, who is accused of molesting possibly hundreds of children. US commentators have tried to explain Savile to the domestic audience, but there really is no parallel here. (For those who really want to understand the deep roots of the scandal, you can do no better than to read Andrew O'Hagan's essay in the London Review of Books.) The allegations against Savile were being investigated by Newsnight last year, but its editor, Peter Rippon, decided not to run the investigation on the grounds that the evidence was not sound enough. Subsequently, rival broadcaster ITV pulled together a documentary carrying the allegations against Savile, making the BBC's decision not to run the original piece seem both flawed and possibly compromised. Just as Entwistle succeeded Thompson as director general, the story of how the BBC had shelved its piece broke.
Two internal inquiries were ordered, and the speculation over what had happened at the BBC ran rife on social media, across newspapers, websites, and on the BBC itself. The Corporation is public property in the UK, and with it can come both a strong sense of pride and institutional love, but also a visceral and inclusive criticism and calls for heads to roll.
The most preposterous and fitting denouement to the whole horrible affair happened when, in an attempt to prove itself institutionally robust, Newsnight commissioned a second piece into another child abuse scandal. The show broadcast its investigation on November 2, conducted with the London-based Bureau for Investigative Journalism. Including details about an alleged pedophile, the report led to the misidentification of a former member of a Conservative government as being involved in a North Wales care-home scandal after the central witness interviewed misidentified his abuser. Failing to conduct a sufficiently thorough cross-checking of the victim's evidence, or even to show him a picture of the former politician, were basic journalistic errors. To make matters worse, the Bureau's editorial head, Iain Overton, had foreshadowed the "exclusive" by tweeting about it earlier in the day. So in scrambling to address the perception that it was timid in breaking stories about pedophilia, Newsnight's overcompensation has led to a potentially ruinous situation of the BBC creating false rumors.
There are two separate issues in play with all this that have become toxically intertwined. One is the existence of an endemic culture of child abuse in a number of British institutions, and the other is about the editorial independence and journalistic future of the BBC.
The Corporation currently has no director general, no head of audio, and no head of television. Head of news Helen Boaden played a key role in the Savile affair, as she knew of the original program and her department was involved in discussing it with editors. Boaden was also reportedly asked before the scandal broke to move to head of audio from head of news, something she refused to do. So effectively the Corporation also has no head of news, Boaden being "quarantined" by the Savile inquiries. Entwistle was struck by a hurricane of circumstances without the institutional shelter and support someone who runs a 25,000-strong organization would normally expect.
The calls for thorough reform and change at the BBC, which have been often repeated in the past few weeks, not least by the chairman of the BBC's own governing trust, Lord Chris Patten, are frequent and alarming in their imprecision. Part of what makes journalism good is accountability; part of what makes it fail is clouded judgment and ill-judged reactions to external pressures. Creating a culture that supports both within a newsroom is not something easily imposed from outside. It requires not just the articulation of a vision but also its rigorous daily application in practice. Good journalists and great news organizations make occasional mistakes.
The original error from the point of view of the original scandal was the decision of a news program not to run what now seems a good story. The critical and fatal error was to run a story the BBC should never have allowed on air.
Breaking a big story is like pulling the pin on a grenade. It takes judgment and courage, or stupidity, to toss significant facts into the public domain. Until it detonates, its collateral damage is unknowable—and once it does, the consequences are unpredictable. Editors are paid almost entirely for knowing when to pull the pin and what to do at the point of impact. Big stories that are mishandled have terrible consequences for peoples' lives, and we see this played out in the aftermath of the Savile affair. Nowhere is more keenly aware of this than the news department of the BBC. To understand the BBC's journalistic reflex, the culture and atmosphere of enterprise reporting at the corporation, one must really understand what happened during the summer of 2003—a far bigger crisis, with much more serious consequences.
That May, BBC journalist Andrew Gilligan went on the air on the Radio 4 morning program Today to discuss allegations he had from a source that the UK Government had inflated claims about the existence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq in order to justify the March 2003 invasion of the country. The allegation was repeated twice more by other BBC journalists in subsequent days.
Who was the source of the story? Speculation was rife among journalists and was allegedly fed by briefings from government. This led to the outing of a respected government scientist, Dr. David Kelly. Kelly was a weapons expert and someone who often briefed journalists, although on this occasion not with direct authority.
At a foreign affairs Parliamentary select committee meeting in a sweltering room on July 15, 2003, Kelly was grilled by members of Parliament in a hearing that was broadcast live. The transcript makes for uncomfortable reading—two days later, on July 17, Kelly went on a short walk from his home into nearby woods and took his own life. For those who covered the story, it is unlikely they will ever forget hearing the first report of Kelly's death.
The subsequent inquiry into the suicide of David Kelly, led by Lord Brian Hutton, cleared the government of wrongdoing and underhanded tactics in revealing the source and heavily criticized the BBC's "defective" editorial processes. For many at the BBC, and for some of us who had closely observed and reported the events, the complete exoneration of the government seemed breathtaking, but the immediate and lasting effect was to immortalize the BBC's culpability in journalism and process.
The Hutton Inquiry resulted in the resignation of BBC director general Greg Dyke and chairman Gavyn Davies, a major reshuffle in its news department, and a cloud that has shadowed its journalism since. Mark Thompson was the man brought in to steady the ship, and part of his reshuffle of the BBC's news and current affairs division saw the rise of a more risk-averse approach. Ironically, some of the most able journalists at the BBC at the time, including head of news Richard Sambrook and deputy head of news Mark Damazer, are no longer at the Corporation. The oral history of firestorms, mistakes made, and lessons learned is a really vital part of institutional strength in news. When those who hold it leave, you lose something elemental about your culture.
BBC management is unusual in that it is held to almost constant public account in a way that no other organization is. It is loved and criticized like no other institution in the UK with the possible exception of the National Health service and the monarchy. If you grew up in Britain, the BBC is part of your cultural identity. To see it at its best is to behold something really extraordinary—for instance, creating new technological, editorial, and cultural standards around the coverage of the Olympics and Paralympics that genuinely have an impact on perception, public conversation, and national culture. To see it floundering in crisis, ricocheting from one poor decision to the next, is dismaying.
But this is the cycle of the BBC. A less bureaucratic, expansionist BBC was created under Dyke after the process-driven genius of predecessor John Birt (who won few popularity contests but introduced the idea of the Internet and made the organization financially secure). The Dyke era misjudged the importance of political expedience, and the Thompson era was the sweeping up operation demanded at the time. Now, the resulting timidity and second-guessing of news looks set to be swept aside by another cyclical correction. Maybe Entwistle would have done that, but now we will never know.
In 1986, Michael Leapman wrote a book called The Last Days of the Beeb after a series of similar political and editorial crises. He diagnosed a directionless, underconfident institution and prescribed the remedy of fragmentation. Twenty-six years later, we will hear the same thing said. The BBC indeed needs to reorganize more effectively for journalism, management, and editorial direction that fits the digital age. It needs to discover a journalistic locus that will be supported by the public but fills a void the market is undoubtedly incapable of doing at the moment.
As for Mark Thompson's first day at The New York Times, the issue of his suitability for the job follows him into the management suite. The CEO of the NYT is similar to that of the director general of the BBC in that expectations for the role far exceed the likelihood of their achievement. One comforting note for the highly anxious editorial floor at the NYT is that Thompson has nothing to do with the editorial management of the paper. Rather, he will be focusing on finding new revenues and building a global strategy for the brand. Thompson has been accused of allowing these aspects of his work at the BBC to take precedence over whipping journalists into better shape.
Whilst it might come as a shock to the New York publishing industry to hear it, running the NYT is a tough gig, particularly as it is unclear what the actual task is, but as we have seen in the past month, it is not as tough as running the BBC.

After three years of preparations the First Winter Youth Olympic Games (Innsbruck 2012 Youth Olympic Games) officially kicked off on 13 January 2012 in the majestic city of Innsbruck located in the heart of the Austrian Alps.
The city of Innsbruck is no stranger to the Olympics or young people having hosted the Winter Olympic Games in 1964 and 1976, and being the seat of major universities.
UNEP, a long standing partner of the International Olympic Committee, is actively participating in Innsbruck 2012, as part of the Culture and Education Programme (CEP) of the Games.
UNEP is conducting multi-faceted set of activities to promote environmental awareness and action by engaging the young athletes participating at the games and others (athlete's family and the general public).
One of the pillars of the UNEP Sport and Environment Programme is using the popularity of sport as a tool to promote environmental awareness and respect for the environment among the public, especially young people. To that end, several sport personalities have been lending their voices in support of the environment sustainability agenda through the UNEP/ IOC message board outside the UNEP booth intended to share with the participate what the Rio+20 conference is all about, and also collect as many messages as possible in the lead up to the conference.
Several high profile personalities visited the UNEP booth and participated in a discussion on environment sustainability issues. Some of the people and messages include:
Pal Schmitt, President of the Republic of Hungary emphasized the importance of environmental sustainability by linking his message to young people to the Olympic motto r "Faster, Higher, Stronger" while adding a fourth motto "Greener".
Alexander Popov - Olympic medalist in swimming 1992, 1996 and 2000 noting Sochi being the host of the Olympic winter games in 2014, educating young people and environmental considerations should be high on the agenda.
Ms Nawal El Moutawakel - IOC executive board member and Olympic medalist 1984 noted that Rio+20 will definitely be a great opportunity for all of us to assess our mutual actions and promises to current and future generations as well as the Planet.
Ms. Anita Defrantz, Chairperson of the Women and Sport Commission and Olympic medalist 1976 added her voice by saying women hold up half the sky – we must all work to protect it.
His Royal Highness Prince Willem-Alexander, Chairman of the United Nations Secretary-General's Advisory Board on Water and Sanitation (UNSGAB) brought with him the Dutch athletes and shared his view on the need to provide everyone with safe drink water and sanitation.
A member of the Canadian team expressed her desire to see environment sustainability to be at the central part of the Youth Games and said "Let´s see sustainability and environmental action into the Youth Olympics! It is important for our future!"
You start now, they will follow. Be an example to a greener world that is part of Fair Play also.
The spirit of Bob Marely was also injected into the sustainability message: "One love, one heart. Let´s get together and feel alright" while drawing a parallel and ending it by saying One Planet. Let´s protect it!
Innsbruck also offered an opportunity to present and share with the young athletes and young people from the local schools the UNEP long-term strategy for engaging young people in environmental activities through environmental awareness, information exchange and capacity building to foster a generation of environmentally conscious citizens, capable of positive action.
Several athletes as well as people from public expressed interested in receiving UNEP´s flagship youth magazine.
UNEP together with the a former Norwegian Olympic Gold Medalist Stine Lise Hattestad Bratsberg run a hands on workshop to raise awareness on the impact of hazardous chemicals and wastes to human health and the environment. The workshop is based on Safe Planet: the United Nations Campaign for Responsibility on Hazardous and Wastes and attracted several people.
Stine is one of the public figures volunteered to have her body tested and pledged to make her chemical body burden test public, and raise awareness of the need for action on the threats posed by hazardous chemicals and wastes. Her test showed she has 31 different chemicals in her body not good for her health. They include Brominated flame retadants (BDE) from computers, telephones, clothes; Persistens Fluor Compunds (PFC) from ski wax; Polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) from fish (Baltic Sea); and Pestecides, Mirex from blanckets, carpet, madras.
Many of the participants were very surprised to learn about the findings and interested to know more about persistent organic pollutants (POPs) – a group of toxic chemicals that remain intact in the environment for long periods of time, enter the food chain and bio‐accumulate and bio‐concentrate in the fatty tissues of humans and wildlife, and spread widely throughout the world through evaporation and rainfall.
The workshop highlighted the need for everyone to work together - be it Governments, business and industry, civil society groups like women, youth and consumers - for a safe and sustainable planet free from toxic chemicals and waste. Stine will continue to spread the message by engaging athletes in the Safe Planet Athlete Initiative also.
The Youth Games being hosted in the Alpine region of Austria, UNEP is using this opportunity to educate young people on the endless opportunities and ecological values mountains provide in supporting and sustaining our lives be it being the major sources of fresh water, food, hydroelectricity, timber, and minerals. They are also home and a refuge to many plant and animal species.
One of UNEP´s be a champion for the environment posters that links global warming and snowboarding "if global warming turns the mountains to summer, where am I supposed to snowboard?" became a big attraction to showcase the link between sport and mountain ecosystems. As one member of the Austrian women hockey team puts it, although I play ice hockey indoors, if I want to do skiing, swimming in lakes, or hiking, climbing, rafting, canyoning, I really need an environment that is conducive to that. If our mountains are affected by global warming or other effects then I will not be able to do practice the sports I enjoy or the recreational values I get from them.
The UNEP booth also displaying the green economy panel and many people were interested to know the work we do on the green economy. We had a lengthy discussion with the team from Spain who were interested how a green economy can create jobs for young people.

Jaime Hernandez: This year the U.S. Mint introduced Special Mint Sets which contained an example of every circulating coin in a special Satin Finish. It appears that the U.S. Mint was more focused on producing high quality Satin Finish coins than for circulating coins. As a result, 2005 circulation strike Lincoln Cents were made of poor quality that even examples in MS65 or MS66 quality were difficult to come by in circulation.
Examples in MS67 were very scarce with a few hundred examples turning up despite lots of searching. In MS68 they are truly scarce with less than a dozen examples known and none being finer.

Lot's of established artists have written music for others. Some good stuff was given away. What's ever more interesting, is that the songs given away, ended up sounding so much like the artist they were written for. For instance:
Paul writing Wings of a Nightingale for The Everly Brothers. Even Pauls demo sounds like an EB tune.
Jeff Lynn's You Got It, for Roy Orbison..... That sounds like one of Roy's songs right after the first listen.
Stevie Wonder has given lot's away, so has Prince. How many more can you come up with?

Its very... very nice
I think its called new technique because the processing of it came about in the late 60s for European market.
It has much more flavour and a very nice malty sweetness. I highly suggest all to try some.
The tea comes out mid brown....and is almost oolong like if it weren't for that lingering peony freshness that just remains in tact accompanied by a deeper honey sweetness. A simple flavour profile that makes it a great everyday tea at any time. It has a dried mushroom smell when you stick your nose in the bag, pleasant earth autumn leaves on a forest floor vibe. One of my favourite teas last christmas.
I'm terrible at explaining taste but grab some...I cant imagine anyone not finding it enjoyable.
My second favourite white next to white Assam. Although I'd go so far to say its not really white tea at all.
The stuff I had looked a lot darker then the DTH grade.
