|Irish Coffee: Making the most of Paul Pierce's minutes
|10.03.12 at 6:29 pm ET
Generally, what happens in preseason games has little bearing on the NBA's regular season, but keep an eye on how Celtics coach Doc Rivers manages Paul Pierce's minutes over the next couple weeks.
"We're going to try some things with Paul in the preseason," said Rivers, "and just see how that goes."
Last season, Rivers instituted Kevin Garnett's 5-5-5 plan, playing his center in five-minute increments. While Garnett's time on the floor each game barely changed (31.3 in 2010-11 vs. 31.1 in 2011-12), his minutes were less taxing, and that paid dividends in the playoffs, when he enjoyed perhaps his greatest stretch in a Celtics uniform.
The plan is to execute the same plan for Garnett and a similar one for Pierce this season, although both the Celtics captain and Rivers admitted playing that duo on the same 5-5-5 schedule might not benefit the team.
'Doc is the coach around here," said Pierce. "I trust his judgment and everything he does. We've been together a long time. I'm giving myself to the team. Whatever's going to be best for the team, that's what it's gotta be. I think with me and Doc, we'll figure things out, because if I'm on fire the first five minutes I can't come out. Simple as that."
'I'm all for it," countered Rivers. "Paul is a gym rat. Paul is a guy I've never really worried about with minutes, but I'm going to watch his minutes. Obviously, if we can keep [Rajon] Rondo's minutes down, we will. And Paul's minutes down. It doesn't mean we will. It would be nice. I like our bench.'
That last addendum could be the difference this season. Despite approaching his mid-30's, Pierce's minutes per game haven't changed much the past three seasons (34.0, 34.7 and 34.0, respectively), and that can largely be attributed to having Marquis Daniels, Sasha Pavlovic and an ailing Mickael Pietrus behind him.
|Irish Coffee: Where do walking wounded Celtics stand?
|10.02.12 at 5:54 pm ET
"Knock on wood," as Paul Pierce said, because the Celtics haven't been this healthy during training camp the past three seasons. In 2010, Kevin Garnett returned from his season-ending knee surgery the spring before. A year later, Kendrick Perkins sat with an ACL tear. Last season, a foot injury kept Pierce from playing opening night.
"The key for us if we're going to win another championship is going to be our health," said Pierce. "You have to be good; you have to be lucky. Sometimes those are things you can't control. Since our first year we won it, we haven't been lucky enough to be healthy, so hopefully we're healthy this year and we can make another run at it.'
Role players like Tony Allen, Leon Powe, the O'Neal brothers, Delonte West, Mickael Pietrus or even Ray Allen last season have also kept the C's doctors busy the past few years. Youth doesn't guarantee health, but it certainly helps. At least they're not keeping a trainer's table warm for the Jermaine O'Neals of the league anymore.
Ironically, the youngest members of the Celtics — Avery Bradley and Jared Sullinger — are two of the biggest question marks among a handful of health concerns, so let's see where the C's walking wounded stand.
|Irish Coffee: Top 10 Celtics Media Day moments
|10.01.12 at 5:36 pm ET
Considering the Celtics have been unofficially practicing together since early September, Friday's Media Day at the team's practice facility in Waltham seemed less like a welcome home party than years past and more like an interruption of a team's quest for the franchise's 18th NBA championship already in progress. That attitude is reflected in the top 10 moments from this year's Celtics Media Day compared to the same post last season.
10. Chris Wilcox on missing the playoffs again: "I was fresh out of surgery when they made it to the playoffs. The whole time, I was just trying to see whatever I could do. I was like, 'Doc, there's no way I could come back?' And he was like, 'Don't even think about it.' So, it was just motivation, because I can't watch basketball and not play it. … I'm out trying to walk on treadmills and doing all these different kind of things, just trying to get back, because I wanted to be around basketball. I've never been to the playoffs before. That was going to be my first experience, and then that had to happen, so it was tough."
9. Jared Sullinger on dropping to the Celtics: "Everybody was knocking me for the back problems and all this crazy stuff, but I could care less. Like I told everybody, if I dropped to the Celtics at 21, and I could go back and redo everything — and me not getting hurt — I'll get hurt again and slide all the way back down to 21, just so I could be with the Boston Celtics. I'd redo it, because it's a great organization, great vets, great team."
8. Courtney Lee on the Celtics' championship tradition: "Every organization I've been with, winning has always been the key, but here you believe — you feel it, you see it. We're not even starting training camp yet, and we had our whole team here Sept. 4, and everybody was dedicated to getting better. The motto of it was to win a championship. The first day I got here, on the fourth, all Rondo was talking about is a championship and getting back and winning. Once you hear that from your star players, you don't want to let them down, so that motivates you to get on the same page, and that's all it's about: Winning."

|Why Kris Joseph deserves the 15th Celtics roster spot (Part Two)
|08.13.12 at 8:00 am ET
This is Part Two of a two-part series on Kris Joseph. If you missed Part One on Sunday, click here.
It's one thing to have the skill set and a 6-foot-7, 215-pound frame. It's another to produce on the court.
'Our first game when he was a junior, we were playing DeMatha (Hyattsville, Md.)," said Perrow. "They were ranked top five in the country if not top two or three, and we were unranked. We were decent. DeMatha started out the game with a tremendous flow of points on a combination of dunks and other things. Kris was un-rattled.
"He led us to seven or eight straight points and calmed the team down. We knew then we had something special. That's the way he's always been. If you ever see him screaming or yelling, you know something's good, because he's never all that emotional. He plays with a poker face. He was the calm on our team.'
Same goes for Syracuse. Joseph averaged a team-high 13.4 points to go along with 4.7 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.4 steals for a balanced Orange squad that resided atop the Division I rankings for much of his senior year before, coincidentally, Celtics first-round picks Fab Melo (academic suspension) and Jared Sullinger (19 points, 7 rebounds) effectively ended his season in a 77-70 loss to Ohio State in the NCAA Tournament's Elite Eight ("We don't bring it up," said Joseph of Sullinger. "We did once, but we haven't brought it up again."). There's a reason the Orange were 10.5 points better with Joseph on the floor this past season than with him on the bench.
"He had a stretch toward the middle part of the season, when we needed something big, he got it done," said Autry. "It was efficient. That's always the thing that impressed me about him. He never took a lot of shots. He was always efficient. Against West Virginia, there was a stretch we got him in a post-up, and he made a step-through move, then came down and nailed a 3, and then grabbed a tough rebound.
"There's certain things he does that, in my mind, I'd say, 'He's a pro.'" And soon enough, he was.
|Why Kris Joseph deserves the 15th Celtics roster spot (Part One)
|08.12.12 at 8:00 am ET
Montreal manufactures hockey players, and business is good. Except if you're Kris Joseph.
So, when the late second-round Celtics pick in this summer's NBA draft arrived stateside as a 17-year-old high school junior in search of a basketball education, the jet lag lasted a little longer than usual.
'He was pretty lazy,' admitted Clinton Perrow, who coached Joseph for two prep seasons at Archbishop Carroll (Washington, D.C.) from 2006-08. 'A lot of things came to him without a whole lot of effort. Early on, he didn't see the need for conditioning because the game came so easily for him.'
Still, no coach questioned Joseph's potential. Not as an inexperienced junior. Not as ESPNU's No. 50 overall senior recruit in the Class of 2008. Not during a collegiate career that culminated in a Wooden Award finalist bid in his fourth and final season at Syracuse. And not when he fell all the way to the Celtics at No. 52 in the draft.
'When you see him, you know he's a player,' said Curtis Malone, president of the D.C. Assault AAU program that recruited Joseph in 2006. 'And we didn't have to see him much to say, 'We've gotta get this guy on our team.' There were so many moments that made you say, 'Wow, this kid is really, really good.' He's a talent.'
Six years later, Joseph joins undrafted rookies Dionte Christmas and Jamar Smith in a three-man battle for the final two spots on the C's 15-man roster. And he still may not have realized that full potential.
"He hadn't played lot of high-level ball until his last two years of high school, so once he puts everything together this kid has so much talent that the upside is huge for him," said Syracuse assistant Adrian Autry, who served as Joseph's positional coach this past season and faced him as a high school assistant at Paul VI (Fairfax, Va.). "He played basketball, but not at that level and not every day. Hockey is the sport in Canada, so once he got into that type of environment where he was playing at a high level and playing every day, he was very impressive."
Joseph's skill set, for the most part, hasn't changed all that much since he made the 600-mile mission from Montreal to Washington, D.C. How seriously he approaches his craft, however, has evolved dramatically.
"After summer league, I had to take a little time off, just for my body," said Joseph during an appearance last week at the Boston Celtics Shamrock Foundation's Summer Soiree. "Two summer leagues was kind of grueling, but it was a great experience overall. I've just been working out, trying to maintain my body. I've been making sure I've been eating the right things and doing things the right way, just so I can work out. This is a job, so you've got to make sure you do things the right way, especially with your body."
In a way, when Celtics training camp commences at September's end, Joseph's story is only just beginning.

text: PARAMUS, New Jersey, August 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Ceragon Networks Ltd. (NASDAQ: CRNT), the #1 wireless backhaul specialist today reported results for the second quarter which ended June 30, 2012. Revenues for the second quarter of 2012 reached $119.1 million, up 8% from $110.4 million for the second quarter of 2011, and up 1% from $117.8 million in the first quarter of 2012. Net loss in accordance with US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) for the second quarter of 2012 was $(1.0) million or $(0.03) per basic share and diluted share, compared to net loss of $(17.4) million in the second quarter of 2011, or $(0.48) per basic share and diluted share. On a non-GAAP basis, net income for the second quarter, excluding (a) $1.3 million of equity-based compensation expenses, (b) $0.9 million amortization of intangible assets, (c) $1.6 million inventory step up related to the Nera acquisition and (d) $0.2 million of changes in pre-acquisition indirect tax positions, was $3.0 million, or $0.08 per basic share and diluted share. Non-GAAP net loss for the second quarter of 2011 was $(1.6) million, or $(0.04) per basic share and diluted share (please refer to the accompanying financial tables for reconciliation of GAAP financial information to non-GAAP). Gross margin on a GAAP basis in the second quarter of 2012 was 31.9% of revenues. Gross margin on a non-GAAP basis was 33.8% of revenues. Operating loss on a GAAP basis in the second quarter of 2012 was $(0.2) million. On a non-GAAP basis operating profit was $3.8 million. Cash and cash investments at the end of the quarter were $44.8 million. Negative cash flow from operations in the quarter relates mainly to additional working capital requirements associated with more sales to Tier 1 operators in Latin America and Africa that have longer payment terms and practices. "We continued to grow in Q2, achieving all-time record revenues, better gross margin and improved profitability," said Ira Palti, President and CEO of Ceragon. "Record bookings resulted in a book-to-bill ratio well above one. Our success in securing several large orders from Tier 1 operators expands our working capital needs. We believe this represents a temporary timing issue, which we have addressed by drawing down on our unused credit facilities. "Ceragon has a comprehensive portfolio of solutions with the most advanced technology, we are gaining share in key growth regions, and we are executing very well. Therefore, we expect to be able to continue to grow revenues and improve profitability and cash flow, even in light of growing macro headwinds," concluded Mr. Palti.

The 24-year-old joined the Addicks for £4.75 million from Wimbledon with a reputation as one of the brightest young English footballers outside the Premiership.
He was bought to help the club who were ninth in the top flight last season push for a European spot this time around.
However, neither the team nor the new striker have looked like doing that.
Both have struggled to find their best form and before Tuesday's 1-0 Worthington Cup win at West Brom, Euell had failed to score for his new club in seven appearances.
But even after getting a hard time from some of the fans, the striker has not lost confidence in his own ability.
"Everyone was saying it must have been a massive relief to get the penalty and score my first goal against West Brom - a real weight off my shoulders," said the former England Under-21 international who will face Middlesbrough tomorrow.
"But I knew it was going to happen sooner or later and I was not worrying about it too much. I was just trying to play my best. It has been a matter of trying to find my feet at Charlton and I know that once I get a settled position I will be able to play well and get the chance to score goals.
"Some people will have me as a midfielder because I played there for Wimbledon in the Premier League but if they saw me last season they would think of me as a striker.
"My preferred position is playing up front and Alan Curbishley knows that, but he said he would play me in midfield in emergencies."
Unfortunately for both men, Charlton have had a few emergencies in the shape of injuries to key midfield players this season.
As a result, Euell has had to play there and up front, sometimes in the same game.
That uncertainty has affected Euell's performances.
He said: "I have had to jump from the First Division to the Premier League and it's not just a case of me getting to know the other players, they have been getting to know me too.
"People probably had high expectations for me because of the amount of money I cost and that is understandable. But I have been playing in different positions and, as a team, we did not start the season too well.
"But we have been getting stronger and in the next month or so I expect us to get on a good run. The longer I have been here the more settled I have become.
"Curbishley was after me for quite a long time and I'm very happy with the move.
"I know there is a lot of competition for places here and that is what it is all about. I want to play up front and I am prepared to fight it out to get one of the positions."
Charlton will be without midfielder Graham Stuart and defender Steve Brown because of suspensions tomorrow.
Meanwhile, Charlton defender Eddie Youds has returned to full training almost two years after suffering a serious knee injury.
The 31-year-old tore his cruciate ligament at Huddersfield in December 1999 but hopes to make a return to first-team action next month.

text: Some veterans at the Cole Land Transportation Museum got to hear just how much young people appreciate them.The museum invites middle and high school students from across the state to speak with veterans. Then the youngsters write an essay entitled "What freedom means to me after interviewing a veteran."The top three winners are chosen in the two categories: middle school and high school.They were invited to the museum on Wednesday for a special ceremony, to accept their awards and read their prize winning essays.The kids say they learned a lot. "When I came in, I really thought I knew what freedom was," Said middle school student Nathaniel Lombardi, who took home 2nd place in his catagory. "I didn't think I could learn anything more, but he really opened my eyes to learn the true meaning of freedom." "We're gonna be the ones that have to stand up and protect it in the future, and we need to be thankful for people who have already done it," Added the winner in the high school catagory Hillary Hoyt.The award winners received certificates and savings bonds.Raymond Perkins is one of the veterans. He'll be 90 soon, and says he's spoken to hundreds of students. He says it's important to pass on his stories, and he gets inspiration from them too.

Biola tries their hardest to keep students fed with a dining hall/food court area, a cafe, a coffee house, and a grab and go style shop. There's a fair amount of variety, certainly more than you could find at most schools. But with so many appealing restaurants in the area, it's easy for students to be lured away from campus by the aromatic scents and five star reviews. Los Angelos is a great culinary city, and the food quality reverberates throughout the metropolitan area all the way to La Mirada and its neighbors. Students are tempted to go out every night of the week, but usually settle for one or two meals out on the weekend. Moving off campus can be liberating and an ultimate sign of independence for students. Some of them don't just move off of Biola's campus, but out of La Mirada altogether. They usually settle in a nearby area like Norwalk, Fullerton, or Buena Park, to give a few examples. Is it worth it? Well, all three areas are within a 15 minute drive of campus, which is very manageable. As for apartment costs, Norwalk is a couple hundred cheaper on average, Buena Park is about a hundred dollars less expensive per month, and Fullerton is around the same cost as La Mirada. Depending on where you look, you could easily find a cheaper and better apartment in one of these areas.
We currently have 68 apartments near Biola University available for rent. If you're not sure how much an apartment will cost, the table below shows the average price by size.

The REVIT WEEK is a 6-day intensive project-based workshop and training course on using the Building Information Modelling (BIM)* tool: REVIT ARCHITECTURE.
This workshop and practical training course aims at making a hands-on training on using the BIM tool. The learning process will include a project-based practice, where each participant will be guided through a step-by step training to build up and make full detailed drawings for a sample editable medium-scale architectural project.
The aim of this workshop and training is to make participants able to use the benefits of the tools from the conceptual design stage to final stage, create colour fill, 3D perspective, rendering, detailed drawings, quantities surveying and estimation, documentation, printing and limited walkthrough animation.
BIM is beyond 3D modelling for visualization. The user creates a virtual building, with all its properties, making a virtual "real" building, where any data can be easily extracted from it such as plans, elevations, sections, schedules… etc. BIM also enables the user to communicate the model with other applications, such as structural analysis, green building analysis, heat load calculation, etc…
The workshop includes both the – commonly classified – Basic and Advanced Levels of REVIT as follows:
1. BIM, working with one model using different views, understanding Revit elements. Hierarchy, Recent files screen, application menu, project browser, navigation, properties palette, selection and modify basics, options.
2. Starting a project, new project, template importance, project settings, open, save, levels, grids and columns.
3. Modelling basics.
4. Snaps, drawing walls, locating walls, modify tools, adding doors, widows, constrains and components.
5. Link , import and group.
6. Import DWG files, import DWG topography, import tips, group, REVIT links and managing links formats.

The film depicts the rape of a woman and the murder of her samurai husband through the widely differing accounts of four witnesses, including the bandit/rapist, the wife, the dead man (speaking through a medium), and lastly the woodcutter, the one witness that seems the most objective and least biased. The stories are mutually contradictory and even the final version can be seen as motivated by factors of ego and face. The actors kept approaching Kurosawa wanting to know the truth, and he claimed the point of the film was to be an exploration of multiple realities rather than an exposition of a particular truth. Later film and TV uses of the "Rashomon effect" focus on revealing "the truth" in a now conventional technique that presents the final version of a story as the truth, an approach that only matches Kurosawa's film on the surface.
Due to its emphasis on the subjectivity of truth and the uncertainty of factual accuracy, Rashomon has been read by some as an allegory of the defeat of Japan at the end of World War II. James F. Davidson's article "Memory of Defeat in Japan: A Reappraisal of Rashomon" in the December 1954 issue of the Antioch Review is an early analysis of the World War II defeat elements.[12] Another allegorical interpretation of the film is mentioned briefly in a 1995 article "Japan: An Ambivalent Nation, an Ambivalent Cinema" by David M. Desser.[13] Here, the film is seen as an allegory of the atomic bomb and Japanese defeat. It also briefly mentions James Goodwin's view on the influence of post-war events on the film. However, "In a Grove" (the short story that the film is based on) was published already in 1922, so any postwar allegory would have been the result of Kurosawa's editing rather than the story about the conflicting accounts.
Symbolism runs rampant throughout the film and much has been written on the subject. Bucking tradition, Miyagawa directly filmed the sun through the leaves of the trees, as if to show the light of truth becoming obscured.

Magnetoelectric coupling, efficiency, and voltage gain effect in piezoelectric-piezomagnetic laminate composites

The magnetoelectric (ME) effect of piezoelectric-magnetostrictive laminate composites, which is a product tensor, has been studied. Based on piezoelectric and piezomagnetic constituent equations, the longitudinal-mode vibration and equivalent circuits have been derived. The effective magnetoelectric coupling coefficient, voltage-gain, and output efficiency have been determined. Our results show: (i) that there is an extreme high voltage gain effect of >260 under resonance drive: the induced ME voltage is much higher than the input voltage to the coils for magnetic excitation; (ii) that there is an optimum ratio of the piezoelectric to piezomagnetic layer thicknesses, which results in maximum effective magnetoelectric coupling; and (iii) that the maximum output efficiency of magnetoelectric laminate at resonance drive is ∼98%, if eddy currents are neglected. This high ME voltage gain effect offers potential for power transformer applications.

For a while now, I've wanted to make a competitive strategy game about picking up chicks. It seemed strange that it hadn't been done before. Everyone understands the concept, many people have done it personally. It should be a no-brainer as a game, I thought. Unfortunately, it's a design challenge that's been kicking my ass for months now.
Last October, I had no computer because I was studying in Hong Kong. All I had was access to the crappy school computers. I figured I'd use the time to write out a design. Even better, I was also spending lots of time in bars and clubs at the time. I'd see some behaviour pattern at night, and write it into the design the next day. It's not often that you get to personally witness your game in real life while you're designing it.
I've recently finished coding a playable prototype. In later posts I hope to discuss it. First, I want to explain a bit of the journey that this game has taken me on.
Many of these design challenges are direct reflections of why I think the idea has so much potential in the first place. Social interaction presents us with a strategic space of unparalleled depth, diversity, and intensity, far beyond any other real-life type of competition I can think of. I definitely think that different designers could extract many completely different and fascinating games from the social competition idea.
This for part 1 of this little series, I'll start us off with why designing a realistic social competition game is hard. Some of these difficulties were obvious at the beginning, but some only appeared while I was trying to execute my design.
More below the fold…
1. Every effect in the game is invisible. In real life, information flows through a competitive social system mostly through subtle signals in body language or voice inflection. Even better, most of this information is broadcast unintentionally. While not strictly invisible, these signals are far too subtle to be useful as a way of communicating game information to the player.
I can't put a character onscreen and have them actually act out their emotional state with body language and facial cues. I don't have the development resources, and computerized facial animation isn't advanced enough to communicate the information. Even if I could get the body language cues right, it would be hard to read them, just as it is in real life.
This means I could either make the characters emote in really exaggerated ways, as in The Sims, or come up with some kind of abstract way of communicating information. Exaggerated gestures weren't an option because they can't communicate enough shades of meaning. This means that for the social game to work, I needed to come up with completely abstract ways of communicating everything about the social situation, which are clear and intuitive. Combined with difficult #2, this is really hard.
2. The game is totally non-geometric. Most games have some geometric element to them. Spatial geometry is understood by everyone, very flexible as a design element, and can give rise to a massive array of different moves and gamestates. But in social competition, physical geometry is only a small part of the game.
Oddly enough, the only non-geometric games I can think of are card games. The closest analogue to the Player League I'm familiar with would be Magic: The Gathering. Oddly enough, it shares some characteristics with real social competition. Both are heavily information-incomplete, both have no geometric element, both involve a buildup of assets, and both, in some sense, are about changing the rules of the game.
3. Everyone has a different view of how social interaction works, and none of them are fully correct. This is a major problem because it forces me to make a choice between a hyper-simple, cliched view of social competition or a more hard and realistic model that is also incredibly complex, counterintuitive, and misses many real parts of social interaction.
If I choose a complex, realistic model, the game will be hard to understand. A simple model would rob the game of its soul and, to me, constitute a failure of the design. Simplified models have already been done before as well. See The Sims.
4. There are no rules. There's simply nothing I can count on. Every rule gets broken sometimes in a social situation, and most of them are broken often.
For example, in a war game, if a soldier gets shot, it's obvious that something bad will happen to him. Everyone understands this.
But if a guy is talking to a girl and he says, "I hate you. I think you are absolutely disgusting," what happens? It could come off as anything – an insult, a joke, an odd non-sequitir, or a challenge. Her response will depend on her emotional state, her type of socialization, her reputation, his reputation, the exact inflection and body language with which he is speaking, the current conversational threads, who is watching, the social norms of the group they are in, and about a million other factors. Any one of these factors could swing her response anywhere between an angry slap, to a bored dismissal, to an intense feeling of attraction.
This makes it very hard to come up with a traditional-like set of game rules that players can learn and manipulate.
5. Astronomical information overload. Information overload is a constant problem.
In part four I listed some factors affecting a girl's response to an insult. The first thing you'll notice is that there are a lot of them.
The second thing you'll notice is that none of them are linear quantities. Each, in turn, would require at least a paragraph to explain. Some, like the girl's upbringing, would require a book-length treatment to get a handle on.
The third thing you'll notice is that there is no party who has access to all this information. You can't tell what the other person is thinking or what their social position is except from vague, subtle signals.
Even more fun, you often can't really explain your own emotional state or social upbringing because you're looking out from the inside. Doing game-like analysis on this stuff at this level is essentially impossible. The game designer is challenged with coming up with some comprehensible representation of all this information. It can't be too hard to learn, but is also can't seem contrived.
6. Heavy emphasis on emotional abilities instead of abstract thought ability or intellectual knowledge. Social success in real life isn't built on high level intellectual knowledge as much as it is on emotional control and projection. Often (but not always, since there are no rules), it doesn't matter what a person says, only that they say it in the right way.
So how do we translate this into a game? Can the game include some interface that game-izes the challenge of getting your voice inflection right? But in real life, getting your inflection on-target is almost incidental as long as you're in the right emotional state. So how do we make a game about controlling your own emotions? They have no physical form, no rules of interaction, no clear delineations between them, and they are often as hard to read from the inside as from the outside.
7. There is no clear winning state. Some people might think that getting the girl's phone number, or getting a date, or sleeping with her are the goals. But people go into social interactions with all sorts of different goals.
Sometimes they are consciously aware of their goal, sometimes not, and sometimes they think they have a certain goal when they are really chasing something else.
Usually a person's social goal can be boiled down to achieving a certain emotional state. This means that quantifying success means quantifying a person's emotional state. Even weirder is that often, the moment a person achieves a social goal, they stop wanting it, and may even be repulsed by it. How do we incorporate this important part of social behaviour into the game?
8. Effort is self-defeating. In most challenges, trying harder will increase a person's chances of success. In social interaction, the exact opposite is often true. The perception that a person is making effort – not 'being themselves' – reduces others' opinions of them. Often, the best strategy is to make no effort at all, or at least maintain the appearance of making no effort. This is one of the most important parts of a competitive social interaction, but how do we incorporate this into a game? And how do we communicate it to a player?

To his followers, Velupillai Prabhakaran, 54, was the heart of a battle to establish a breakaway state for Sri Lanka's ethnic Tamil minority.
But his many detractors saw him as the brutal ruler of a suicide cult who repeatedly sabotaged peace deals in his pursuit of power.
Over more than a quarter century of civil war, Prabhakaran's Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam assassinated top politicians including former Indian prime minister Rajiv Gandhi, and fought the Sri Lankan government to a near-standstill.
At the height of his power, the portly rebel leader with the bushy moustache and Browning pistol ruled as a virtual dictator over a shadow state of hundreds of thousands of people across northern Sri Lanka.
His guerrilla force was armed with heavy artillery, a rudimentary air force that once bombed Colombo's airport and a navy that consisted of attack craft, boats laden with explosives, crude submarines and huge smuggling ships that plied the Indian Ocean.
The rebels reportedly earned as much as $300 million a year from their arms and drug smuggling. Prabhakaran rarely appeared in public, preferring to communicate in a "state of the nation" address every November.
He alienated his strongest allies in India by sending a female suicide bomber to kill Mr Gandhi in 1991.
Then during negotiations that followed a 2002 ceasefire, he rejected a deal that would have given the rebels broad autonomy over the north and east.
It fell short of total independence but was widely seen as the best deal he could ever get.

Ejstes made his debut with Dungen, an ambitious album that was released in 2001 by his friend Stefan Kéry's label, Subliminal Sounds. The record received enough attention from the underground community to attract the Dolores/Virgin label, and Ejstes found himself back in the studio to record a series of three Dungen singles, one of which appeared on the soundtrack for The Jungle Book 2. Dungen's breakthrough international album, Ta Det Lugnt, was then released by Subliminal Sounds in 2004, followed by a second release (this one accompanied by a bonus disc) by the American label Kemado in July 2005. Although Ejstes handled many of the album's instrumental passages himself, he also pieced together a lineup (including guitarist Reine Fiske, bassist Mattias Gustavsson, and drummer Fredrik Björling) to help him during the recording process. The Dungen collective then hit the road in support of Ta Det Lugnt, whose psychedelic sound had won the band a number of fans in America.
A follow-up effort, Tio Bitar, arrived in 2007, focusing on well-crafted songs as well as Dungen's traditional jams, and 4 appeared the following year. Featuring a newfound emphasis on piano, the album also included percussion from a new drummer, Johan Holmegard. The group toured in support of the album and played several dates with Fleet Foxes before returning home to work on Skit I Allt, which was released in 2010. Following a five-year gap, their seventh album, Allas Sak, which loosely translates to "anyone's thing," arrived in September of 2015. In between Skit I Allt and Allas Sak, the band was asked to write and record a score for the 1926 film The Adventures of Prince Achmed. The all-instrumental piece was produced by Mathias Glavå, mixed and edited by hand on to analog tape, and finally released by Mexican Summer in late 2016 as Häxan. ~ James Christopher Monger

- I had planned to lead a "rainbow" type hike through Toro on Saturday. Apparently it is a bit much because none of my rainbow type pals have committed to the hike yet. Planned route includes portions of Toyon Loop, Black Mountain, Simas to Airplane, Harper Canyon (for Ross' Basket), Ollason, a detour for an attempt on "Its High Time", and Gilson Gap trail back to the main entrance.
If you know there is an issue with a cache along that route and want a "cache medic" type visit then reply to this post.
I plan to check all caches along the route and will post a report after the hike for condition of those caches.
Anyone who is feeling very energetic is also welcome to tag along for a guided tour with a guy who has already done the SImas to Airplane once. (i.e. guaranteed find and guaranteed not to get hopelessly lost in the brambles) By "very energetic" I mean able to maintain a steady pace up Black Mountain trail and still finish a dozen miles worth of geo-caching in about eight hours.

From the beginning it had the air of a portentous day. The clouds loomed overhead, and great tracts of British countryside were pounded by rain and drowned by floodwaters. There was even talk that lightning might strike London. But over a little corner of the city that has forever been the All England, the sun shone on a Scot who has often struggled to win the hearts of the nation – until now, perhaps.
On Murray Mount, the ground was a slippery sludge yesterday afternoon, bringing a touch of Glastonbury Festival thrills to proceedings. But fears it would turn into Murray Island proved unwarranted. Shortly after 3pm, the leaden clouds parted; blue sky was visible. The fans, whether waving Union Flags or Saltires, were feeling positive. Federer had won his semi-final, and the statistically minded told each other that our man has a better record against Roger than Novak Djokovic, having won eight of their 15 matches.
But first there was the small matter of Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, the man who stood between Andy Murray and the Wimbledon final. Fortunately for those on the Mount, he now has the unenviable statistic of being the first man to lose to a Briton in a Wimbledon semi-final for 74 years.
The fans up on the hill, and all around Centre Court, were with Murray for every heartbeat. At 5.45pm, a good omen came. The Brit, Marray, had won. Yes, that's "M-a" at the start. Jonathan Marray and his Danish doubles partner Frederick Nielsen had beaten the American Bryan brothers in their semi. Now all that history had to do was change a single letter.
And so it came to pass. After two hours and 47 minutes, Murray won, only dropping the one set and sparing the crowds the usual roller-coaster ride. No heartbreak today.
After all the heart-pounding action, it fell to the cold eye of technology to decide the match. The line judge called Murray's winner out. The computer said otherwise, but only after an agonising few seconds. In the final, not in the final, in the final… But even then the crowd showed few signs of nerves; they seemed to believe.
As terse as his interviews can be, the crowds love Murray. And so do the great and good of politics, who last night were effusive in their praise for the 25-year-old. "An amazing achievement after 74 years of hurt," wrote Labour leader Ed Miliband on Twitter. Not to be outdone, the Prime Minister tweeted: "It is great news that we have our first home-grown men's finalist for over 70 years."
Alex Salmond, the Scottish First Minister, reclaimed his man: "He has played brilliantly right through the tournament and given the whole country a lift with his performances," he posted on Twitter.
It was a day when the Scot was very much a Brit, though judging by previous years, he may still become a Scot again in the headlines if tomorrow doesn't go his way. In the final, Murray faces perhaps the finest player ever to grace the green grass of Wimbledon. Even though their head-to-head record tips in Murray's favour, Federer has six Wimbledon titles. He has been in more finals than any man in the championships' long history. He has beaten Murray in their two previous Grand Slam finals, at the US and Australian Opens. And he is the bookies' favourite. But he has never played a Brit in the Wimbledon final. Then again, neither has anyone since Bunny Austin's day.
"It's nice to be in the final," said Murray as he reflected on his afternoon. And what of the prospect of winning, he was asked afterwards. "It would be very nice." Even after a day like that, Murray's not one for hyperbole.

WTF Is It?!? Fruit Salad
I've literally eaten nothing but pizza this week, so for lunch today I gotta have some green. I plan to make a fruit salad from the cornucopia pictured above, courtesy of one of my local roadside markets. You'll of course recognize the watermelon, apples, and mangos, but wanna take a shot at the other deliriously colorful comestibles?
Winner (and you have to name them all) wins a dinner date with moi (if you think you can stand it), for more pizza, naturally.

This is most recent syllabus. Your final syllabus will be given during your first day of class
Note: This course is an "optional course" of the Food & Sustainability Studies curriculum. It may be taken individually. You do not have to be enrolled in the Food Studies Program to take this course. However, priority will be given to students participating directly in the Food & Sustainability Studies Program during initial enrollments.
Course Description
This course will address food related issues from an anthropological perspective. It will examine the role food plays in shaping group and personal identities with a particular focus on Italy and the States. Through ethnographic research in different settings around Perugia, you will explore how local food "traditions" change over time and space, and how culinary knowledge is used by people in different ways. The course will focus on food as material and immaterial heritage through an analysis of food museums and eco-museums. Furthermore, it will explore the role of food in Italian families, applying a gendered perspective in order to understand the changing attitudes and roles of men and women towards food and cooking. You will study food as a site of cultural transmission, but also of dissent and resistance.
The course will incorporate a variety of learning experiences: mini-ethnographic projects on food producers and workers in Umbria, a field trip to artisan food producers. Through these class exercises, you will become active participants and engage in ethnographic research in the classroom and in the local community.
Course Objectives
In this course, you will:
- increase your understanding of how individual food behaviors are shaped by the foodways of your society;
- learn to approach cultural differences with an unbiased framework;
- increase your knowledge of Italian culture through the examination of the food practices of individuals and communities;
- be able to recognize the cultural, political, and economic value of food; and
- recognize the efforts behind organizations and museums that promote and develop food-related cultural events.
Narrating Food Culture Project Description
In this course, you will collaborate with SapereFood, an online magazine dedicated to sharing the Umbrian agricultural traditions and food producers' narratives with consumers. You will conduct on-site visits and participate in tastings of local products, which will serve as the basis for an anthro-journalism article you will write. The collection of student articles will then be published in the "Umbra Diaries" section of the SapereFood webpage. At the end of the semester, you will present your project to the Umbra community.

"We still remain optimistic, we're still keeping an open mind," said police superintendent Gary Knowles. "But we are planning for all outcomes, and as part of this process we're planning for the possible loss of life as a result of what's occurred underground."
Army specialists were equipping a robot usually used for bomb disposal with a camera and a mile and a half of fibre optic cable.
A massive explosion ripped through the Pike River Mine on the South Island on Friday. A build-up of methane gas is suspected and has stopped rescuers going in for fear of another explosion.
Specialist drillers were close to finishing a 500ft-long, six-inch-wide shaft to determine the air quality where the miners are believed to be trapped.
John Dow, chairman of Pike River Coal, the mine's owner, said: "Once we're through, it won't be long before we know what the atmosphere is like."
Two workers stumbled out of the mine just after the explosion but there has been no contact with the missing men. A phone line deep inside the mine has rung unanswered.
One of the two, Daniel Rockhouse, 24, described the explosion as being like a huge shotgun blast.
He said it smashed him into a wall and he was knocked out. When he came to, he staggered to a nearby compressed air line to breathe in fresh air and gain some strength.
"I got up and there was thick white smoke everywhere — worse than a fire. I knew straight away that it was carbon monoxide," said Mr Rockhouse, whose brother Ben remains underground. "I couldn't see anything, and it was dead quiet. I yelled, Help, somebody help me!' But no one came."
He found the unconscious body of Russell Smith, the other survivor, and began dragging him, until he came to. They reached the surface nearly two hours after the explosion.
"It wasn't just a bang, finish, it just kept coming so I crouched down as low as I could and tried to get behind this metal door, to stop getting pelted with all this debris," Mr Smith said.
"I remember struggling for breath. I thought at the time it was gas, but it was dust — I just couldn't breathe. And that's the last I remember," he said.

Eve Of Ides(2013)
A Book by David Blixt
The night before his assassination at the hands of conspirators, Julius Caesar attended a feast. With him were Brutus, Cassius, and Antony. During the meal, Caesar was asked what he thought was the best way to die. Caesar answered, 'What does it matter, so long as it's quick?' Based on history and the works of Shakespeare, Eve Of Ides reveals the unexplored relationship between the main players of the age - Caesar, Brutus, and Antony. History was never so alive.

AA/KK - Early Stages of STT
I feel like whenever I pick up AA/KK early on in a STT, I'm not getting as much value as I should be. I would raise 2.5/4.5xBB depending on the situation. Normally I would just pick up the blinds or pick up limpers' chips.
One senerio I can't stand and I feel happens way to often is me betting with AA/KK the standard 3x and having 1-2 callers. Then one of them hits a set and I have to pay them off.
Any advice on playing monsters early on in a STT?
One idea is to open shove - especially first hand - you won't usually get many chips (although you sometimes get a call) but what you do get is an instant image that you can use later to your advantage.
If you are lucky your next hand is a monster and you open shove again; if the third is another premium you'll be amazed the calls you get from QTo type junk. Of course, the poker gods then give the donkey a flush...
I can't see a lot of alternatives. In the early stages you can't limp because that will create a limp chain and your hand is vulnerable.
Just play these hands strongly but don't overplay them, against one or two players it will be good most of the time.
I'm of course aware that an overshove from a player at microstakes can be AT on T62 board or a set, it's hard but don't get discouraged, they are still good hands
Yea, AA-KK early is not usually gonna get you a lot of chips. I bet 3-4 BB, more depending on how many limpers are in, and I will pretty much re raise any re raise to me. You have to be willing to fold depending on the flop, say you raise 3x bb get 1-2 callers, and the flop is 3 hearts, or or a pair, and one callers comes out strong, I am laying my cards down here. Especially KK against an A flop with a caller showing strength. I will always c-bet if I am first, but if I get played back at with a dangerous flop, I am done putting chips in. (depending whether or not you have a read on him, you might want to push an idiot).
There is nothing wrong with taking the blinds. I find I am mainly winning small pots with these hands early tour, and losing big pots.
And fwiw, I never push all in if I am first to bet with these hands. I want to make a 3-4 bb bet, and if I get some callers, and the flop is good for me, I can try to milk it, but I can still get out with most of my stack if the flop doesent like me, or push others out with a c bet.
Anyone stupid enough to give us action based on a bet like this was probably going to give us action with a more reasonable sized bet too. And making a play like this on the basis that it sets us up for a huge payout on monsters in the near future is flawed too because we're simply not going to catch that magic combination anywhere near enough times for it to work.
The simple fact is that people usually play conservative at the start of a SnG and, unfortunately, that means we often won't get the action we want on our big pairs. There's not a lot we can do about it and I certainly don't think it's a problem so big that we need to go making crazy plays to "fix" it. Play them rationally, don't get hung up on it if you don't win a big pot and you'll be fine in the long run IMO.
re: Poker & AA/KK - Early Stages of STT
You can play them according to the situation the table gives you. If the table is semi-loose you should maybe just try to shoot em all in and hope that one is holding ak or aq or aj thinking that you are holding a small pair trying to pick it up there. If the table is a tight one then you already know the types of hands the people are going to be holding and a large raise preflop is still necessary just in case they are holding a drawing hand or a pair. You need to maximize the amount you get in the middle before the flop, but be willing to get away from it if the texture of the board is bright. If you have kings in late position and there is a raise in early position and one or two callers in between them and you, chances are there are two of the 4 aces right there. Reraise and try to get HU against someone. If you get a caller they probably have a decent pair and then you wait to see what happens next. Poker is a game of situations and choices. Make the right moves based on what you know that your opponent does, try not to guess too much.
In this situation of course you have more odds to win and you probably win but since it one of the first stages of the game and the blinds are low then you should increase 4-5 times BB.
If it's one of the first 3 hands of the game, I will push all my chips in. Every so often in this situation you will get a call from A 10. Usually you get no action from your all in bet, but this early in the game you probably win the blinds with only a 3x blinds bet.
After that I will choose either the standard 3x blind bet (most times) or the call/check slow play limp in (only occasionally).
No matter what you do, if u somehow do win a monster pot early on with AA, think yourself lucky instead of skillful, Lol!
A play like this will become less and less effective (if we can call it effective to begin with) as we go up in stakes too.
I agree with Oz`s answer here. I play lower limits so I will NEVER limp these hands early tour unless it is a bit into the STT and I in CO or button, and have some kind of read on my table and all have folded to me. And even then not usually. All in will get the maniacs to call with ATC more than a 3-5 BB bet will (I am pretty much always raising around this amount here), your AT will call a 3-5 BB more than an all in, pushing all in early tour makes no sense to me. Exception is I raise and am re raised say 1/2 villains stack, I RR all in, or call his all in. And above you stated that 3 BB will usually win you the blinds, which is a fine outcome in any case, so why push all in if you achieve the same result with a normal raise?
re: Poker & AA/KK - Early Stages of STT
Play it according to what the table does.Don't do anything foolish or reckless.Just play your hand smart to get the most return on your hand.Just because you have good cards doesn't mean your going to win the hand.Just play smart and don't make the mistakes that would enable you to lose the hand.
I know that many don't make this type of call, but I usually go all in after few seconds of thinking and usually got called by someone with small pair or connectors, so if you get called you have good possibilities to win big and play t/a after that.
That's just me.
I really think it depends on the buyin of the tourn.
Im gonna assume this is a lo lim or freeroll buyin.
If it was a higher buyin where I know ppl are gonna fold but maybe call with a premium hand or a nice drawing hand very early in a tourn yeah I can see Pups advice of a shove with aa to play the odds but not really with kk.
In this instance in a early freeroll or lo lim buyin -its gonna matter in what position u get this premium hand and how many ppl are left in the hand.
If its a lo lim buyin or freeroll in early position I wouldnt shove with these hands because ur just gonna get like the whole table calling lolol especially on the 1st hand and ur pocket pair go down toooo much in value.
in early position id play it cautiously and just raise it like ur doing. And play accordingly.
But if I get the whole table getting stupid and going all in and ur in early position and u have only like 100 or 150 of ur 1500 on the table, id ditch it believe it or not. if this is a deep stack tourn even with aa or kk there is no way in the world im going all in with such early blinds.
Omg, fold aa or kk in early position with a lot of all ins? yeah.. . . . yeah, fold it.
If ur on this forum- im assuming ur getting serious about learning poker. so im gonna assume there are gonna be better instances where u can just outplay a lot of the regular freerollers and low buyin players.
u will have better opportunities than calling most of the table on a pair, even a pair of aces or kings. Thats why I would agree with jho against shoving preflop early.
Just too many opportunities to beat them. U just dont want ur whole stack on the table and have 82 beats u with 2 pair or a set lololol. id fold it.
But from late position and almost every1 gone in the hand, I can see a shove with aa. But I still would advise against it because ur gonna have chances to outplay them. Sure theyll get lucky on u, but u should be ok.
But I wouldnt get too overworked about freerolls, because the payouts are just soooo awful. On fulltilt its like what 45 out of 7500? What is that? Less than 1% cash? So the odds are drastically set against u.
if ur playing on full tilt id suggest the satellites to the ferguson and the daily dollar freerolls and the daily buck tourn because the payouts are better.
Overall=dont get so worked up over the bumps along the road just enjoy the drive. Hope I helped.
Ever huh? I dont get ur reasoning.
If u have aa in early position and 4+ players go all preflop ur a 40% fav or worse. the more ppl go all in, the worse it gets. its not a cash game situation where u can just rebuy.
40% or worse is not acceptable to me for so early in an sng or tourn where the experience level isnt that high to begin with.
but if ur happy with less than a coin flip, than so be it. thats u.
aa is just a pair, nothing more. i have no idea how ppl get carried away with it.
Its early on and the blinds are nill. Id relax.
that is true and a very valid point, greatness. ur laughing all the way to 1st unless something goes wrong.
and we all know nothing goes wrong in nl holdem especially with such a large lead, right? hmmmmm. lolololol
but the point is how ur getting there to the winners circle.
are u willing to risk it all early to get a commanding lead, especially if the field is weak?
ull get there only 3-4 times outta ten. what about the other 6-7?
nope, nope nope, with a weak field like was mentioned in a low lim sng there is no way im going all in with aa early with half/+ the table going all in. never, ever. it doesnt make sense to me. theres just too much poker to be played to risk on 1 hand on just a pair.
on a flip side because i dont like to be yea or nay on issues but look at it from different angles -u can make a point that 3-4 times out of 10 isnt bad for ur roi in sngs, so i can see what ozexorcist is coming from when they disagree with me.
but dont get mad when ur precious pair gets cracked with trash. lololololol
But either way i really dont think about it as being right or wrong. its more like what suits ur personality, expectations and desires. i will simply agree or disagree with some1 and state why. i believe it is more important to be involved and thinking about the hands and poker strategy, than simply yea or nay on an issue.
on a side note,
I still disagree with u ozexorcist on that stud8 issue. told me in a earlier posting that an ace with 2 wheel cards is an awesome starting hand and should be capped and not played cautiously although the cards u need to hit are dead and ur staring against someone's made hi hand in stud8. I still dont agree with u. lololololol .
Everyone starts with 500, blinds 25-50 with 10 ante.
You are BB, and everyone goes all-in in front of you.
Now if you fold you have over 90% chance to win the grand price.
Sure, go ahead and fold in that obscure and manufactured situation. I've assumed we're talking about regular STTs.
Someone smarter than me can do the math on this one but I'm pretty sure you'll find you've got a massive positive expectation, both in chip and $EV terms, if you're getting in preflop with AA against four opponents or whatever nonsense situation you've come up with.
Let's say it is four opponents and you're only 40% to win outright. That means there's 5*1500 = 7500 in the pot or thereabouts, of which you've contributed about 1500. 60% of the time you lose 1500, get knocked out, lose your 11.1% $ equity in the tournament and start another game. 40% of the time you scoop 7500 in chips and get yourself what, something around 50% $ equity in the tournament?
Your chip EV alone is (0.6*-1500)+(0.4*7500) = +2100. Like I said, someone smarter than me will have to do the $EV / equity calculation but I'm pretty certain it'll be attractive. Plus who cares if we get knocked out - we have bankrolls and bankroll management as padding for the times when we get it in with the best hand and lose. This is one of those rare situations when we know we have the best hand when the money goes in.
You're obviously welcome to your opinion and you can play your aces whatever way you like. I think the arguments for getting the money in are pretty compelling though, I think folding aces in a spot like this would be a massive money-gobbling leak in your game and I suspect a lot of others will agree.
I'm certain you're confusing me with someone else on the Stud8 issue BTW, probably c9 or skoldpadda. I know sod all about Stud8 and wouldn't bother giving actual advice on it. I think I might've tried to clarify when someone had obviously misconstrued what one of those two had said.
re: Poker & AA/KK - Early Stages of STT
I play them like any other strong hand. I try to keep with consistent raises, so my opponents can never make sense of what I'm playing with. A lot of times, I see people make the mistake of raising to an absurd amount, that completely gives their hand away. They then flip over their cards, and blatantly say they weren't sure how to play them. This has the complete opposite effect of what your main goal should be which is to acquire as many chips as possible, throughout the tournament.
I think 3-4x is an appropriate raise. If you feel you're beat, just lay them down. But it's better to take that risk, than to throw them in the muck pile after only stealing a very small amount from the blinds.
Good luck with however you decide to play them! I know you'll make the right decision when the time calls for one.
If there are more than 2 ppl going all in in front of you you should fold aces or kings without even thinking
OMG. Is there really this much bad advice on playing AA/KK preflop during the early stages of an STT?
Look, with AA/KK preflop the only reason you're betting is for VALUE. You're raising preflop because you want others to call. Especially with hands worse than yours so you can get paid off for your monsters. The idea of wanting to raise so players will fold bad hands is just dumb. Sure, we want to thin the field a bit so our hand has more potential to win, but we get paid off by these hands more often than not. Unless their is a strong tell-tale sign that we're 100% beat, you should be betting out on every street to extract the maximum number of chips you can.
If you're scared about someone hitting a set, which will happen about 1:11 times, then gosh..just fold. Heck, just fold every single pair you get because the odds of someone hitting a flush is the same. Heck, you might might as well just fold every hand. Or bet yet, just sit out because you will lose postflop at one point or another, no matter what hand you hold. The difference is, bigger hands have more potential to more and more often. SO, 10:11 times, you're taking it down and 1 time, someone is hitting a set. It's the nature of the game. If you're scared to get in with the best hand PF almost 99.9% of the time...just stop playing.
The idea of shoving all in with AA or KK during the early stages is...DUMB. Seriously, it might work a few times but majority of the time, you pick up the blinds. Nice...shove a 1.5K stack to pick up 45 chips...woot. You keep playing like that and passing up those opportunities to build a stack. Heck, even if you raise 3x BB, get one caller, and they fold on the flop...you're still extracting more than you would if you open shoved most of the time.
OP, it's like this: you have a big hand preflop, raise it up and get value for it. If you don't get any callers, then you don't. Nothing to be concerned about because if they have nothing worth calling a raise with when you're holding AA, they're probably not calling anything there no matter what your hand is. However, there will be many times when you do get callers and action when you have big hands. So, the only you can do is try to get as much out of it as you can when they do bite.

Horse passport system to be overhauled by Defra in wake of horsemeat scandal
NewsMonday 25 February 2013
The changes have come about after the whole debacle surrounding the horsemeat scandal.
The current EU laws require all horses to be issued with passports, which record whether they have received medication which would make them unsafe to eat.
There has, however, been a large amount of evidence showing that the current passport system in the UK, is easily open to fraud and abuse.
"For the system to work, it must have the understanding and confidence of horse owners, veterinarians and the general public," said David Mountford MRCVS. "We need to change the system, but we also need to re-establish its integrity with greater compliance and appropriate enforcement."
As there is little scope to change the EU Regulation requiring horse passports soon, all parties agreed the focus must be on changes to its implementation to deliver the widest possible benefit to the equine sector.
World Horse Welfare reported that this will be an enormous task as it will require fundamental behaviour change among the country's 500,000 horse owners as well as for Local Authorities, veterinary surgeons and dozens of Passport Issuing Organisations (PIOs). It was agreed to jointly develop proposals over the next six months for rapid implementation.
It was also agreed upon that a reinvigorated central database of all the horses in the UK was a necessity for any effective system of horse identification to work.
"The need for the UK to have one central database where horses can be identified and located is immensely important to the equine industry which contributes £7 billion per year to the economy," said Andrew Finding of the British Equestrian Federation, the National Governing Body for Equestrian sport. "I am pleased the Government agrees that an effective IT system is necessary to underpin a more effective passport system."
In a further development that could protect the welfare of thousands of vulnerable horses each year, the Secretary of State agreed to Ministerial support for negotiations to amend the Tripartite Agreement which permits the free movement of horses without health certification between the UK, Ireland and France. Since the agreement, which originally applied only to sport horses, was extended to cover all horses in 2005, movements of lower value horses and ponies between the three countries increased dramatically. This has created a number of welfare problems for the vulnerable horses being transported, opened the door to infectious disease and appeared to make horse trading an attractive cover for criminal activity. The sector council had been pressing for the agreement to revert to its original scope to apply only to racing, Thoroughbred breeding and elite sport horses – a position the Government supports.
Roly Owers of World Horse Welfare, a charity that had long pressed for restrictions to the agreement extended in 2005, called the promise of Ministerial involvement "proportionate to the risk this current free-for-all poses to horse welfare and health, and will no doubt remove the attraction of horse dealing to criminals. There is no benefit to this destructive, reckless trade, and so much protection we should be offering to these poor horses."
