Out of Hell: Jason Swears He's Not Sexist
Out of Hell: Jason Swears He's Not Sexist
This week Gordon Ramsay asked Jason to hang up his chef's coat and leave Hell's Kitchen. Jason's obnoxious attitude towards females has bothered me since day one so I wasn't too upset to see him sent home. However, it was incredibly interesting to speak with him after the fact. He felt relieved to be out of Ramsay's hellish kitchen and continues to work at a restaurant off the strip in Vegas. To see what he had to say when we chatted — he swears he's NOT sexist —
PartySugar: How did it feel to be eliminated?
Jason: It felt crappy to be eliminated. It feels good to be out.
PS: Is Gordon really as big of a jerk as he seems?
Jason: It may very well be an act for television, but it sure doesn't feel like it. It's not like the guy is hugging you or shaking your hand after the dinner service. But the prize is worth a lot more. Gordon has to really consider the winner because he will be cooking in his kitchen, not just someone else's restaurant. I think he was harder on us than he was for any other crew. He told us not to look at it as a competition, but to look at is as a real job. That was the worst kitchen I've ever worked in. There is no way I would put up with any of that if it was just a job.
PS: Do you think men are superior to woman?
Jason: Slightly. It's not as bad as they portrayed it on the show. I don't know why everyone has to hate me. People should have taken it as a joke, I was just having fun. It's television. Everyone thinks they know me, but I'm not that bad. I'm sure there are good female chefs out there; it's just that, honestly, I have never run into one in any kitchen.
PS: Why did you give up? What made you want to quit?
Jason: Frustration. I was tired of looking bad. Lack of sleep, I was tired of being tired. There are all these things that happened that you didn't see. I felt relieved to be kicked off. I wouldn't do it again. I was constantly being singled out and really didn't know what I was getting into.
PS: Who are you rooting for?
Jason: As sexist as you think I am, I'm actually rooting for Christina. She seems more professional and quiet than any of the girls. Corey is too stuck on herself. It's girls who act like Corey — girls who use what they got, their bodies — that make guys like me be sexist.

Planning for a Job in Helping People
Link updated July 2, 1999.
Getting Job Ideas from Job Descriptions
Link updated July 2, 1999
Thinking "Prepared" for a Promotion
Link added June 17, 1999. soon to come.
There are lots of employment sites on the Web, lots of lists of openings and their job descriptions. There are few places to teach you how to turn these "objective, generalized, ritualized" job descriptions into something that grabs you as a place to grow your future: "Hey, here's a real one; you could live with this!"
That's why you study sociology. Well, some might call it human services, or psychology, or social work, or urban anthropology, or even communication theory, if you wander across the campus to where those language and literature people live, but they all stole it from sociology. (Osgood on Interdisciplinary Integration) Sociology is the study of people and their relationships, with each other, within groups, and within their social institutions. And guess what you'll have to deal with on a job? People in their relationships with each other, across departments or sections, and within the work hierarchy and the work organizational structure. See? Sociology. But don't forget to check out all those other fields, too, to see what great ideas you can "steal" from them.
This first piece of the process text on planning a job is going to focus on helping jobs. That's because the eighties took us pretty far from the caring and community we thought we had fought for and won during the terrible sixties. Today, there is left little regard for cooperative work, and considerable competition in a "supervised" workplace. That tends to depress those of us who wanted a caring, cooperative work place in which we could "help" others. Not by giving the bank's money away to those who need it; but by finding time at work to help those who need support in learning, in coping, in moving on to new areas, and by receiving recognition from our work places for having made that effort. Instead, supervision has become more regimented, more ritualized, more objectified, with bureaucratic rules limiting our realization of human kindness at work.
It doesn't have to be that way. The disciplines who study jobs in all their facets need to remind us that a gentler, kinder workplace comes of gentler, kinder people helping each other to be gentler, kinder. That begins with our teaching you to look for job descriptions that seem to offer latitude for cooperation, and then to ask questions at interviews about ways to enhance cooperation.
A corrections officer recently told us that he looked to new college-trained recruits to come into the corrections department with a new attitude of trying to understand the convicted felons they supervised, with new techniques for working "with" them to provide support networks and maintain job success. Now, it doesn't say that in the job description. But, if your objective is to be a helping person, you'll want to learn to ask questions that will reveal that kind of supervisor.
So one of the first tasks in planning for a job is to think about what questions you'll want answered. Sometimes you'll ask an interviewer. But sometimes you'll want to visit other similar officers, talk to people who work, or who did work there, hang out where you can see what it's like.
And if you've put together a set of questions that matter to you, you can talk to your friends about how well their jobs permit the kind of work climate you're looking for. Ask them for help in figuring out if any questions would have revealed to them ahead of time things they don't like now about their work place.
Job Title: Program and Project Directors

Salary Range: $40,000 - $48,000 Depending On Experience
Essential qualifications:
Not a beginning position; program directors and coordinators. But don't skip such descriptions because you don't yet qualify. Time now to start asking the questions on what will you need when you are ready.
Approximate salary range is for hot new field like computer training. Less attractive traditional fields likely to pay less.
Computer skills are important. But what computer skills??? Time to actually try asking some of these people, the real ones who are going to hire you, "What exactly are you going to want me to be able to do or to supervise with the computer?" Careful how you ask that. Some of them don't know diddly squat even though they don't want anyone to find that out. Puffed up bull frogs. Ask simple questions that almost anyone could answer until you see that the person seems to have some knowledge. Then ask your real questions.
So are supervisory skills, which come about in school from leadership (link to file on leadership and how to show it) activities, etc.
Title: Project Associate

Non-Profit Providing Computer Assistance
Salary Range: $25,000 - $32,000, Depending On Experience;

Project Associates job description.
Essential qualifications:
Highly desirable skills:
Now, don't forget that all these questions give you clues about what else to look for when you're scanning job announcements. Maybe you should develop a portfolio of job descriptions, skills, and questions as a guide for whenever you want to check out the job market.
Remember that the most obviously announced jobs are going to have huge clusters of applicants. Try to use job descriptions to help you think up ways to apply to companies or workplaces that had never put such a spin on their jobs. You might be able to create just the job you want.

The Amazing Race has been a staple of many of my evenings for more than a decade. In fact, it's been the staple of about 10 million viewers every season since 2001. As one of the most popular reality shows in history, it has amassed thirteen Primetime Emmy Awards, including every award from 2003 to 2012 for "Outstanding Reality-Competition Program" (except in 2010 when Top Chef won). I love the show so much, my wife and I even created a charitable event based on the show called the Kiwanis Great Race. As a great non-political and fun family show, it had me scratching my head last week when it took a decisively anti-American U-Turn.
Greg Gutfeld, the Libertarian host of Fox News' The Five, explains the controversy best…
[vsw id="G88TXwF3go8″ source="youtube" width="425″ height="344″ autoplay="no"]
It's almost unthinkable that the show's producers — as well as the network executives — would believe a segment glorifying socialism in song, dance and propaganda as part of one of the show's challenges was acceptable; but to make the twisted metal of the downed American B-52 where two American soldiers died and another two were taken as POWs the site of U-Turn on the race was unconscionable. The only word that can be used to describe the episode is anti-American.
Interestingly enough, it was the only Democrat host on The Five to make this issue his personal pet project. Each day on the show Bob Beckel would air his outrage that neither CBS or the producers of The Amazing Race had written an apology. It was an issue that transcended party politics.
[vsw id="IqCXTyrpoLg" source="youtube" width="425″ height="344″ autoplay="no"]
Then, on Thursday Vietnam War veteran and American Legion National Commander James Koutz sent a letter to CBS, asking that the network apologize for "its disgraceful slap-in-the face administered to American war heroes."
Perhaps it was the fact that Fox News wasn't going to let up, or that there was a growing outrage amongst America's veterans, but whatever it was, CBS and The Amazing Race finally issued a formal apology on their Facebook page and during last night's episode of show.
After the apology was issued, Bob Beckel Tweeted, "Thank you to everyone who put n CBS. We got the apology more importantly we got together as Americans for the right reason. Go vets."
And James Koutz stated, "America is a forgiving country. When you make a mistake, you own up to it. The American Legion applauds CBS and 'The Amazing Race' for its apology."
Clearly, the Beckel-Koutz duo won this leg of the race.
The bottom line is that the mea culpa was the right thing to do. The Amazing Race turned what could have been a hazardous road block into just a simple speed bump. Otherwise known as the best U-Turn of the season.

After starting at quarterback for the Avon Orioles as a sophomore, Brandon Peters (6-4, 195) has established himself as a prospect who will be a key target for schools coming through Indianapolis over the next two years.
Today, his recruitment hit a big milestone when he earned his first offer, one from the Virginia Tech Hokies after camping with them.
"It feels pretty good," he said of the offer. "It's a big accomplishment for me."
While in Blacksburg, Peters had an opportunity to work with Hokie quarterback coach Scott Loeffler, a man whose knowledge of the position stood out to the young signal caller.
"He's definitely someone that you can learn from and he really knows what he is talking about. He no doubt will make you better."
While his recruitment is young, Virginia Tech has put themselves in position to be there in the end with Peters.
"It was a pretty nice camp and the facilities are pretty nice. The coaches that I met were all cool. Overall, it was a pretty good visit."
Next for Peters is a visit to Iowa. He is also hearing from a number of other schools including Kentucky, Indiana, Purdue, Cincinnati, Illinois, Tennessee, all of whom he says he camped with.

Massachusetts Chooses Scott Brown and Party That Created Economic Crisis, Deficit, and Supports Insurance Companies
Politics BlackState.com
19 January 2010
In one of the most shocking political events akin to a Democrat winning the Senate in say Mississippi, a Republican named Scott Brown has won the senate seat vacated by the death of Democratic icon Ted Kennedy. The citizens of Massachusetts voted for a Republican party that brought forth the economic crisis and the Great Recession, a Republican party that created the spending deficit (Clinton left office government surplus Bush left office deficit ľ even before TARP). Democratic activist nationwide are shocked by the defeat. Most blame the poor campaign of Martha Coakley. Democrats are nonetheless hopeful due to the fact that a 19 seat majority remains in the Senate and a substantial majority remains in the House.

Living Into Focus
Choosing What Matters in an Age of Distractions
By Arthur Boers
Book Excerpt: Introduction
The stress of seventh grade started me sleepwalking. Staying balanced in life has been a challenge ever since.
More than once my parents, reading or watching TV hours after I had gone to bed, looked up to find a barefooted twelve-year-old with pillow-mussed hair heading determinedly toward the back door in search of something outside. They got up, caught me by the arm, argued with me, turned me around, and insisted I return to bed. The next morning I would invariably recall a frustrated nightmare of my parents not allowing me to go where I knew that I urgently must.
When we consulted our family physician, he said my nocturnal strolling was likely a sign of stress. But, really, seventh-grade stress?
I had that year transferred from a private church school to a public junior high. The new school divided the seventh grade into sections—7-1,7-2, 7-3—and it was no secret that these were academic distinctions. Administrators, unsure how to interpret my private school grades, took the middle road and placed me in 7-2.
I was unhappy. I wanted to be recognized as an academic achiever, and, besides, my best friend was in 7-1. I strove and studied all semester with the hope of being promoted. I worked hard every day. I prepared for everything, even the simplest spelling test. I did hours of homework each evening and on Saturdays. Thank goodness my strict Calvinist family forbade homework on Sundays, or I would never have known any break at all.
Stress has been my steady companion ever since. Along the way people have called me "workaholic" and "Type A." I am a responsible oldest child, firmly raised in a Protestant work ethic, son of a businessman and employer who expected employees to give their all. I took seriously all those hard-earned lessons that grandparents and parents told me about the challenges of living through the deprivations of the Depression, scarcities in Nazi-occupied Netherlands, and hardships of immigration to Canada with nothing but a trunk of possessions to call one's own. Not surprisingly, I have also struggled along the way with melancholy, depression, exhaustion, and occasional burnout.
Yet such strains are no longer the domain for driven overachievers alone. Our culture has a prevailing sense of being too busy, having too much to do, without enough time for things that matter and priorities that really count. Feeling worried and burdened is an unhappy reality that many of us experience, and we encounter it unrelentingly. Stressing out in seventh grade may have made me an oddball; but I'm not alone anymore.
I meet a lot of folks who are unhappy, stressed, depressed, eating poorly, and not getting enough exercise. Some weeks I feel that at least half the people who are important to me—friends and family alike—are on various medications, just to cope with life's daily realities. And this in a culture that boasts of being the most affluent and most knowledgeable in the history of the world. The simple fact, as philosopher Albert Borgmann reminds us, is "that people regularly make choices that are counterproductive to the happiness they want."1 Study after study shows that numerous daily realities contribute to declining happiness and growing depression:

Ball State could use eminent domain to develop a property near its campus, turning attention to a little used but highly contentious power held by public institutions.
With summer approaching, Maria Shine Stewart explores ways to cultivate kinder campus spaces all year long through the three "n's": noticing, navigating, nurturing.
Kentucky's restrictions on university debt, at a time when many public universities are turning to bonds in lieu of state funding for capital projects, further hinder construction at state institutions.

Directed by VITTORIO DE SICA
Screenplay by CESARE ZAVATTINI
It is a small and simple thing, this last film by the late Vittorio De Sica. Clara (Florinda Bolkan) is a poor, feverishly depressed and angry woman, the sole support of a numerous, ne'er-do-well family. One day she collapses in the heat and clamor of the factory, where she works at the hardest but best-paying job. The doctor at the clinic to which she reluctantly reports diagnoses her fever as something more than a metaphor; it is a symptom of tuberculosis. Over the objections of husband and in-laws, she goes to the...

Real shrug off Anelka reports
Nicolas Anelka: "Perhaps too much is expected of me"
Real Madrid have dismissed reports that their new signing Nicolas Anelka may quit football because he is not happy.
Real president Lorenzo Sanz said: "We've spoken to Anelka and he's denied saying anything of the sort.
"There's no alarm at the club. I knew there was no truth in these reports because they came from an English newspaper," he added.
"Nicolas is 20 years old and it's absurd to think he might be ready to give up football."
'I should be happy'
The troubled French international, who joined Real less than a month ago, had been quoted on Monday as saying that he was ready to walk away from the game.
"If I continue not enjoying myself out on the pitch, then maybe it is time to stop playing football," he told the London Evening Standard newspaper.
"It would be better to do that. Perhaps too much is expected of me.
"I am only 20 and I should be enjoying myself out there on the pitch. But that is not happening, and I am very sad about that," he said.
Anelka, who had a torrid relationship with the English press, claimed he will also no longer speak to the Spanish media if they continue to hound him.
Criticism of colleagues
His tempestuous nature caused bust-ups with his Highbury team-mates, most notably Dutchman Marc Overmars, who he claimed never passed him the ball. The Frenchman has already started on the wrong foot at the Bernabeu.
He has still not scored for Real and to make matters worse the "enfant terrible" has levelled the same criticism at Spanish internationals Raul and Fernando Morientes.
"They know each other really well. They are not great players, but players who always give each other the ball," he said.

There was one glorious bit of byplay between NHL commissioner Gary Bettman and International Ice Hockey Federation president Rene Fasel Tuesday during an otherwise predictable press conference with NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr that primarily focused on the NHL's plans for international hockey moving forward.
According to Bettman, "in the not too distant future, the NHL and the NHLPA will be in a position to talk about other international initiatives that we're discussing, including bringing back the World Cup.
"We see international competition on the horizon. It's really just a question of what the format will be."
But Bettman didn't say if reviving the World Cup – which has been on hiatus since 2004 – would preclude any future NHL Olympic participation. The World Cup - a joint NHL/NHLPA initiative - was introduced in 1996 as a successor to the Canada Cup. It has only been played twice, largely because the NHL believed that too many best-on-best competitions was putting too great a strain on the league's elite players.
If the NHL decides to go forward with a World Cup – possibly as early as the fall of 2015, to avoid conflicting with the 2016 Summer Games – would that mean no Olympics for 2018 in Pyeonchang, South Korea? Bettman didn't address it specifically, nor did deputy commissioner Bill Daly, who commented: "What I'd say is there are a lot of possibilities."
Fasel is of course an unabashed supporter of the NHL's Olympic participation and waxed on eloquently about what Olympic success means.
"There is nothing like an Olympic gold medal in the life of an athlete," said Fasel. "Nothing."
To which Bettman, sitting beside him at the podium interjected: "Except for winning the Stanley Cup."
Fasel: "As I said, the Olympic gold medal, you cannot replace it … Look at the faces here next Sunday when the players will get the Olympic gold medal. So different."
Bettman and Fasel are old sparring partners so the fact of them agreeing to disagree was not unusual.
Even though the NHL has been involved in the last five Olympic Games, none of the negotiations have ever gone particularly smoothly or well. The NHL's participation in Sochi wasn't confirmed until this past summer because of complicated negotiations with the International Olympic Committee and the IIHF over who pays for transportation, insurance and other costs associated with the event.
Bettman reiterated a point made Daly in a Globe And Mail interview last week – that ideally, they'd like to have a decision about 2018 within the next six months if possible.
"I believe my colleague Mr. Daly was quoted earlier in the week that he had hoped, as do I, that it could be done in six months," said Bettman. "We don't see why it couldn't be done in that time frame.
"Frankly, if we are going to continue to participate, having as long a runway as possible to use the advantages would be a good thing. And if we're not going to participate, given the various national federations an opportunity to adjust to that, giving them enough time as possible would be good. But as much as we'd like to, you're dealing with a guesstimate on a timetable because there are constituencies that not each of us control that we have to rely on others to determine.
"We are here because we think it's great to be here today for this tournament. What comes next we'll all have to figure out, as we've done each of the other times that the NHL players have participated."
Fasel and Bettman spend the better part of 20 minutes, dancing around the issue, sometimes in comical and amusing style.
Bettman wasn't budging off the company line – that no decision will be made about the NHL's participation until after the 2014 Olympics is completed and the process can be reviewed. Fasel unequivocally supports of the Olympics, but also knows from past experience that pressing Bettman for a commitment at this stage of the proceedings is fruitless, so he doesn't bother.
Besides, said Fasel, it wouldn't be the same if he and Bettman came to an easy, early agreement.
"I love to bargain with these people after every Olympics," said Fasel. "It would be boring if we decided the next 10 or 20 years with the NHL. It's so nice to be with Gary in New York and fight and have some discussions."

Actor and director Ben Affleck will be the next Batman in the upcoming Man of Steel sequel that will unite Superman and Batman.
Warner Bros. (TWX) made the announcement on Thursday that Affleck will succeed Christian Bale as the new caped crusader according to The Associated Press. He will star alongside Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, and Laurence Fishburne in Zack Snyder's upcoming Superman film.
Snyder said that Ben Affleck has the experience to play a character who's "older and wiser than Clark Kent," but still retains the charm of a billionaire. This won't be Ben Affleck's first time playing a superhero as he played the title character in 2003's Daredevil.
The Batman and Superman franchises are more popular than ever with The Dark Knight Rises making over $1 billion in the box office last year and Man of Steel raking in $650 million this summer. The new Superman film is scheduled for a July 17, 2015 release.

'Sunny gave her a homemade card and they spoke briefly on the phone,' the actress opened up about the Mother's Day treat she received from her stepdaughter.
Sandra Bullock has maintained a close relationship with her six-year-old stepdaughter, despite splitting from her dad Jesse James - the child even sent the actress a Mother's Day card. "The Blind Side" star walked out on TV mechanic James in March after his infidelities were revealed in the press. She has since filed for divorce and is now planning a future as a single mum after adopting a son named Louis in January.
But Bullock is determined to remain in little Sunny's life after playing stepmum to the girl during her five-year marriage to James. And the actress enjoyed a special Mother's Day treat from Sunny last Sunday, May 9 - when Americans celebrated the holiday.
A source tells OK! magazine, "Sunny gave her a homemade card and they spoke briefly on the phone." Bullock and her estranged husband won full custody of Sunny from the child's mother, former porn star Janine Lindemulder, in 2009.

Nation's Top Highway Official Tours York's I-83 Construction Project; Praises Economic and Safety Benefits
Reconstruction of a 1.7 mile section of Interstate 83 in York will help drivers more easily and safely move through the heavily-traveled corridor and help boost the region's economy, Federal Highway Administrator Mary E. Peters said today.
"Our goal is to deliver transportation improvements that will help this fast-growing region of Pennsylvania keep its economy on the move," said Peters.
Peters visited the construction site for a first-hand view and an update on its progress from Pennsylvania Department of Transportation officials.
The $58 million project includes reconstruction of the interchange between I-83 and Leader Heights Road and new ramps between I-83 and Business 83, all of which will improve access to the southern part of York that is home to growing residential and commercial areas. The project will also shift I-83's current alignment to the east, straightening out existing sharp curves that are the source of numerous accidents.
The project will ease congestion on this section of I-83, Peters said. She noted that the highway carries approximately 55,000 vehicles per day, making it one of the busiest highways in South Central Pennsylvania. It is also a major commercial route, connecting Northeast Pennsylvania, York and Harrisburg with major port and shipping facilities on the East Coast.
"President Bush and I know that the improvements we're making today will help the thousands of drivers and businesses that rely upon I-83 get where they need to go safely and on time," said Peters.
Peters praised the extensive public involvement in planning the project. Responding to community and environmental needs, sound walls are being installed to minimize traffic noise. In addition, some of the structures will use context sensitive design, such as the southbound abutments with white rose decorations that signifies travelers are entering the White Rose City.

Editor's note: This piece is by Candace Page, a Burlington freelance writer. In This State is a syndicated weekly column about Vermont's innovators, people, ideas and places. Details are at www.maplecornermedia.com.
ST. ALBANS – The 115-horsepower engine on Gould Susslin's G3 power boat whined as he threw it into reverse. "Got to clear the weeds," he said, as the boat bobbed on the olive-green water of St. Albans Bay.
Although water levels were at a record high for July, a thicket of Eurasian milfoil swayed a foot below the surface.
"Some places, the weeds are so thick you can't take a boat in there," Susslin said over the engine noise. The boat glided to another part of the shore where algae hazed the water column.
"The algae blooms are just getting started. They'll be here by August," he said.
Susslin turned the boat toward deeper water, away from the floating evidence that — despite decades of promises and millions of dollars spent — water quality in this corner of Lake Champlain has not improved.
That's true of other parts of Champlain as well, but St. Albans Bay is perhaps the lake's most discouraging poster child.
Attempts to stem pollution – primarily phosphorus, the algae- and weed-feeding fertilizer found in sewage, farm runoff and stormwater — began here more than 40 years ago. Residents and government have tried out their best ideas to keep the bay swimmable all summer long.
It has not been enough.
Rain and snowmelt continue to wash excessive amounts of phosphorus into the bay. So much phosphorus has accumulated in sediments beneath the water that even if all land-based runoff were halted, noxious algae blooms would likely remain a regular part of summer life.
Later this year, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will issue new proposed targets for phosphorus reductions in St. Albans Bay and throughout the lake. An action plan designed to reach the targets will accompany them.
Promises, promises
Gould Susslin has heard it all before.
He is 85 now, retired from his dentistry practice. He speaks in a voice thinned by age and sports the bronze skin of a man who spends his sunshine hours in a boat or on a golf course.
He and his wife, Bev, bought their home on Hathaway Point Road as a summer cottage in the early 1960s before moving there year-round in the 1980s. Their four sons and three daughters spent their childhood summers here, playing in the water with the eight kids who lived next door.
"It was like running a summer camp," Susslin recalled last week as his wife pulled out photographs of a gaggle of children diving from a raft.
Through all those years, 50 of them, he has been prominent among the campaigners for a cleaner bay.
He helped found the first St. Albans Bay Watershed Association and served as its president in the 1960s, when the bay's most critical problem was pollution from the city sewage plant.
He lobbied for improvements to the sewage plant and saw them carried out. He helped arrange copper sulfate treatments in the 1970s that temporarily killed weeds and algae. He and the association supported a decade-long federal-state effort that installed manure pits and anti-pollution practices on 60 percent of the farms in the bay watershed.
"There was no significant improvement after all that work. A study confirmed it," Susslin said.
Nevertheless, he still serves on the watershed association board, writes lobbying letters to Vermont's congressmen and supports the bottle-and-can collection that helps fund the group's work.
He understands there are no instant solutions to the problems of St. Albans Bay, a 2.6-mile-long inlet that drains a 50-square-mile watershed.
Stormwater runs off the streets of St. Albans City and from suburban development in St. Albans Town and Georgia. More than half the land in the watershed is devoted to agriculture. Nutrient-rich runoff from barnyards, tile drains and the exposed earth of cornfields pours into brooks feeding the bay.
Consultants have written a two-part prescription for cleaner water quality here: Make substantial progress in further limiting polluted runoff, then dredge (or seal off with alum treatments) some of the bay's most phosphorus-rich sediments.
It's an expensive plan, requiring tougher land use regulation and millions of dollars.
"Bottles and cans won't do it," Susslin said.
Tired of waiting
State officials urge lake advocates to avoid finger-pointing at any particular polluters. Their mantra is, "We're all in this together," and that city residents, suburbanites, farmers and shoreline homeowners all should share the cost of cleanup.
In his old age, and sixth decade of waiting for a cleaner bay, Susslin has dispensed with tact. He points the finger, at farmers, at government, at politicians who promise more than they can deliver.
"It's dairy agriculture," Susslin said, of St. Albans Bay's pollution. "What happens on a dairy farm is their business. What comes off the farm into the lake is everybody's business. … You've got to get agriculture to behave itself, and nobody wants to do that."
He is irked that the state won't allow weed harvesting until July 15, after fish have spawned. He's critical of government for allowing some summer camps to be converted to year-round use without improved septic systems.
He's unhappy that effective political organizing by advocates for polluted Missisquoi Bay has, in his view, led to less attention for St. Albans Bay in government circles. He's impatient with Gov. Peter Shumlin, who has promised action on Lake Champlain, "but we haven't seen very much."
(Natural Resources Secretary Deb Markowitz said last week her agency has launched a St. Albans Bay initiative to work with local residents to set priorities for action. The new federal phosphorus targets for St. Albans Bay will likely require more storm water controls, further stripping of phosphorus from sewage effluent and tougher mandates for farmers, she said.)
Susslin was skeptical. "I wonder how far she is going to get with that," he said. "it hasn't happened in the past."
As he sat on his porch, with its view of water through the trees, he was joined by his friend Steve Cushing, current president of the watershed association.
"One year Gould bottled up some of the algae in jars and sent it to the congressional delegation," Cushing said over coffee. "He told them, "Open this up and take a whiff, then you'll have sympathy with our cause.'"
"He's nothing if not persistent," Bev Susslin added.
Her husband pulled out a photo taken one summer of the water off their shore. The surface glowed a solid neon-green, looking more like the cloth on a billiard table than a place to swim – the sure sign of a blue-green algae bloom. It is not water in which one would allow one's children or grandchildren to swim.
It explains why Susslin isn't ready to retire from the fray.
"You've got to keep trying.," he said. "St. Albans Bay is a nice place. It's too bad to see it go."

Extra Man Of Steel Still Arrives
It's behind you, Supes...
Some people are rubbish at playing hide and seek. Take Henry Cavill in Man Of Steel, for example. In the picture above you can clearly see he's looking for a squad of US army types, but seems oblivious to their presence.
Okay, so this is not really an example of Kryptonian hijinks. This actually comes from a dramatic moment in the movie where Clark Kent/Superman – though no one is calling him at this point – is confronted by the might of the army. What happens? You'll have to wait and see.
Man Of Stee**l, **which launched a rather effective new trailer this week (check it out below), finds Christopher Nolan, David Goyer and director Zack Snyder taking on a new iteration of the Superman origin story.
Cavill is the man in tights this time around with Russell Crowe as alien pop Jor-El, Kevin Costner as adoptive human dad Jonathan Kent, Diane Lane as Martha Kent, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Michael Shannon as the driven, shouty General Zod and Antje Traue as Faora, his equally troubling second in command.
Man Of Steel flies into cinemas on June 14.

Norman Rockwell: Artist and Illustrator
by Thomas S. Buechner
No current Talk conversations about this book.
The definitive biography and collection of the best of Norman Rockwell's art and illustrations. Rockwell was one of my favorite artists and illustrators; he was unmatched in his craftsmanship and ability to tell a complete story with his art. This book contains 614 illustrations, including 111 in color. Most of Rockwell's illustrations depicted ordinary people in everyday situations, but he was always able to mine fresh gold from these old themes, and he was not afraid to dip into the realm of political comment.

A QUICK-THINKING legal advisor has been praised by a judge for foiling an escape attempt from a York court.
Mark Ainsley was in the dock at York and Selby Magistrates' Court on Christmas Eve, on charges of affray and a public order offence, when he climbed over the security barrier surrounding the dock, dropped several feet to the ground and tried to run out of the court.
The court heard Ainsley, 24, formerly of Wilberforce Avenue, York, ran into an interior corridor at the courtroom, where he was tackled to the ground and prevented from leaving by Julian Cundiff before being arrested and remanded into custody.
Yesterday, Ainsley appeared before York Crown Court by video link from Hull Prison, where the court heard he had 20 previous convictions for 41 offences, including burglary, assault and ABH.
Kevin Blount, for Ainsley, said the incident was an impulsive act when he realised he would spend the first Christmas of his ten-month-old son's life in custody.
Mr Blount said: "It was not a pre-planned or organised attempt, but an impulse.
"It was Christmas Eve, the first Christmas for the child, and it is in those circumstances, on impulse, he jumped the dock. He fell some distance, and injured his wrist in doing so, and was apprehended a matter of minutes after."
The court heard the public order offence saw Ainsley pick up a tyre iron in self defence, while nobody was injured in the affray charge except Ainsley himself, and Judge Shaun Spencer QC said the offences had arisen from an abusive relationship, when his partner's family "were summoned to protect her".
Mr Spencer said early guilty pleas meant Ainsley's sentences for each offence would be reduced, and praised Mr Cundiff's actions and quick thinking in preventing Ainsley from leaving the court.
He said: "Mr Cundiff will receive the court's commendation for his actions and I ask that his conduct be brought to the attention of the Chief Constable and to the High Sheriff of North Yorkshire and to the authority of the city of York."
Mr Cundiff said: "I'm very honoured to have that, having worked in the courts since 1980 to have commendation from a judge is a great honour. I have never heard of anything like that.
"I just put my arms round him and just kept him on the floor like a bear hug until G4 and our security staff arrived. It was only 30 seconds to a minute. He was then taken back to the cells and I just straightened my tie and resumed with court duty."
Ainsley was sentenced to two months in prison for threatening behaviour, eight months for affray and four months in prison for escape from lawful custody.

Norwegian mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik told a panel of judges Thursday that his solitary confinement in prison had deeply damaged him and made him even more radical in his neo-Nazi beliefs.
Dressed in a black suit, the right-wing extremist who killed 77 people in a 2011 bomb attack and shooting spoke coherently and without emotion as he addressed the panel considering if his isolation is inhumane.
"I have been damaged by the isolation ... (and) radicalization has been a consequence of it," a stone-faced Breivik said. "I have not been a little hurt, I have been very damaged."
Breivik, 37, was speaking during a hearing at the high-security...

Goodness gracious, Thanksgiving was a disaster for the New York Jets. Mark Sanchez needs to be benched immediately, and there is no doubt about that. Jets Nation would love to see Tim Tebow take over, but he is not the best option.
While Tim Tebow is a dynamic player and entertaining to watch, Greg McElroy is the New York Jets' best choice at starting quarterback. Yes, Greg McElroy, and no, this is not a joke. It is a risk worth taking and could potentially work out very well. McElroy may not strike fans as their ideal quarterback, but he has what it takes to win, and the Jets need to try something new.
McElroy is an intelligent player, which balances out Mark Sanchez's constant struggles in decision making. He may not have the strongest arm, but he is very accurate. His play may remind Jets fans a little bit of Chad Pennington except more mobile and aggressive and less fragile. Greg McElroy's quick release, vision and ability to avoid turnovers make him more qualified to start that Sanchez and Tebow at this point. The question should not be if, but when.
Also, what does McElroy have to lose? Absolutely nothing. Sanchez has already embarrassed himself and continues to play like a rookie in his fourth season. He is on his way to being one of the biggest draft busts in Jets history. As for Tebow, he has become nothing but a method for selling tickets and gaining publicity and it has reached the point where he is useless because the Jets have not stuck to their plan of giving him 15 snaps per game and have not given him a chance to show what he has when Sanchez crumbles.
If McElroy fails, there is no loss. It would just be an experiment that does not work well. He does not bring the hype that the other two quarterbacks bring and has not contributed in any way to the circus environment. What he said on the Birmingham radio show back in January was a simple account of what he experienced, not trash talking the team. He seems to be the only player on the team that is fully aware of what is going on and understands something needs to change.
The Jets' third-string quarterback is intelligent, honest, skilled, and can win. All of that is what the Jets need right now in a quarterback. All of this "Tebow Time" talk needs to stop. It is now McElroy's time to shine.

Hello Everyone
You all know me thro my first FF on Maneet ' GEETIKA (Link given below)
Now, I have another story...inspired by Tamil movie... "Rhythm". imagining Maneet in it in a different way. There are hundreds of Maneet FFs in IF and I am sorry if my FF story line matches with any one...if it does, its mere due to a coincidence.
Please note that this FF will be my second priority till I finish my first FF GEETIKA.
Giving a simple prologue. Please read and comment if I can go ahead.
No body knows what comes next...what lays ahead
We expect a lot out of LIFE but life always gives us surprises...some time sweet, some time bitter, Some times cruel.
LIFE doesn't have one definition...it has millions...and every definition is apt for it.
It's strange as you never know what happens next moment of LIFE...It makes you laugh sometimes...makes you cry many a times...hurts you and at times brings you to a situation where you don't know the difference between life and death...But LIFE goes on...
At Delhi Airport...
Dev: Shona...Rothe Rothe vidha karogi?
Geet: Aur main kya karoon? Have you come across any newly wedded couple separated before even they get to start their new life together?
Shona...Do you think I want to leave you like this and go? I have got some emergency in office and hence I have been asked to visit our Katmandu branch...Its just a matter of two to three days...and I am here right on the New year's eve to celebrate a new year and a new beginning with my beautiful wife.
Maanna padega...my wife is lucky for me...This is the first ever time I am going to board a flight and also, this visit to Katmandu will prove to be a turning point in my career.
Ab hans bhi do na please (Please smile now)
Geet blushes
Dev smiles and kisses her forehead... I will never disappoint you both
On the other side of Airport...
Maan: Jaan...is it necessary to attend your friend's wedding that's happening all the way in Katmandu? She is going to arrange for a reception in Delhi anyways...
Neha: Jaanu...try to understand...She is my close friend and none of our friends have agreed to attend this wedding as its happening in Katmandu...Agar main bhi nahin gayi tho bechari bura maanjayegi (If I too didnt attend the wedding, then she will get upset). And she will not attend our wedding which his going to happen in next 2 weeks.
Main Yun jaaongi aur yun aajaongi (I will go and come back soon)...dont worry jaanu... smile now.
Maan smiles and kisses her forehead.
The flight was scheduled to depart on time...and announcement made...
Dev still looking at Geet
Neha still looking at Maan
Geet: Eise kya dek rahe hain Dev?
Dev: Bas Apni shona ko aakhri baar dekh raha hoon...Mera matlab hain,2 din ke liye jee bhar loo.
(I am looking at my sweet heart for the last time...I mean, to fill my heart for 2 long days)
Maan: Eise kya dek rahi ho Jaan?
Neha: Bas Apni Jaanu ko aakhri baar dekh rahi hoon...Mera matlab hain, 2 din ke liye jee bhar loo.
(I am looking at my sweet heart for the last time...I mean, to fill my heart for 2 long days)
Both Dev and Neha board the flight.
The flight lands in Katmandu Airport...
Dev He calls Geet Immediately after landing...
Geet cries non stop
Shona...please don't cry and make my life even more difficult...its just a matter of 2 more days...I promise to be with you before the New Year eve begins.
Neha on the way to the wedding venue calls her family and Maan to inform about her safe arrival...
Jaan...please come back...I am not liking to be here without you.
Jaanu...I promise to be there with you before the New Year eve begins
Dev gets busy with his office work...Frequent Calls/SMS from Geet...
Dev replies back to one of the SMS and replies... "sweetheart...this is the hundredth SMS in last 2 hours"
Neha is fully involved in her friend's wedding...Frequent Calls/SMS from Maan...
Neha replies back to one of the SMS and replies... "Jaanu...enough...I guess that was the hundredth one" and blushes...
Two days were normal for any other human being but for these two love-pairs...it was worse than two hundred years...least did they know what comes next...
Dev and Neha board the same flight again from Katmandu to Delhi...The flight scheduled for early in morning hours of 31st of Dec.
Their journey comes to a disastrous end in the mid air just before landing in Delhi Airport...YES...A PLANE CRASH which mercilessly took away all the lives of its passengers and flight board team.
LIFE never takes pity on anyone...it doesn't spare any one...
What happens to Geet? She is all waiting for a new start of her newly married life with her Dear Husband.
What happens to Maan? He was preparing himself for the most happening turning point of his life...his wedding with Neha.
(Authour's note: I think about the families and friends during such event than the person who dies...what goes on to their mind? )
Where do they stand 3-4 years later...lets see.

28 Year old Business Entrepreneur, MD of Khurana Constructions. Born Rich. He has anything and everything that Money can buy. But still missing the true happiness in his life. A Tough personality by nature. He was a different person all together...soft, caring and loving nature... but one tragic incident in his life that happened almost 3-4 years back and it changed him completely. All he loves now is to be involved with his office work and that's the only way he can keep his mind busy.
Maan lost his parents at a very young age. His Daadi is the one who took care of him and his brother Vicky and sister Anvesha. Daadi has been his strong pillar of support throughout his life.
Vicky: 23 years old. Just completed his MBA and is willing to do something challenging on his own.
Anvesha: 20 years old. Undergraduate. She has been the youngest and most pampered kid.
24 years old. Young widow of Dev Sharma. Has been into Middle Class bracket through out her life. A jovial and fun loving girl...till the time she lost her husband in a tragic flight accident 3-4 years ago. Geet and Dev fell in love and got married, much against the wishes of both their families.
That one accident in her life has taken away everything...everything what belonged to her. Her husband...her family relations...but she is still alive and trying to be happy for the sake of her daughter...Komal the one and only reason for Geet to stay alive.
She never went back to her family nor Dev's family nor they bothered to support her when she needed them the most.

The USA TODAY Developer Team is excited to announce to launch of our Articles API, which offers developers a more robust way to construct feeds of USA TODAY story content.
Using the API, you can construct feeds in several ways, including pulling editorially-prioritized content by section, using basic search or tag search, or calling feeds from one of the USA TODAY communities. In fact, we are the biggest user of this API. It has proved vital to powering many of our programs behind the scenes, such as our iPad and Google Chrome applications.
Before building the Articles API, we used a tangle of systems and databases to offer feeds to partners. We realized we needed a better solution and built a database that consolidates stories as well as an API Engine that could deliver the stories in various formats. The database contains all web stories going back to 2004, as well as blog posts, newspaper stories, and even wire feeds.
The API engine is modular and extensible, and it will grow as new requirements emerge. It has three types of modules: Retrievers, Formatters and Encoders. The retrievers pull data from the database in different ways. For example:
Our new Articles API uses just a portion of the power of our API engine to provide stories in RSS format. If this proves popular, we hope to provide other types of feeds from the API. For example, we could provide an mrss feed that would include photos and videos, or even a full text feed that would allow developers to display our full stories in new ways.
Head over to our Developer Portal to read our documentation and sign up for a key. Please let us know what you like or dislike by posting in our forum or sending us an e-mail. We welcome your feedback. Happy coding!

Some web sites require you to fill out a registration form before you can use the site. Web-based e-mail sites, social networking sites, shopping sites, and government sites such as unemployment offices require you to fill out registration forms.
The registration form will mostly be made up of text boxes like the ones you've already used in this lesson. Remember, to use a text box, click in it first, then type in the requested information.
Most forms will ask you to choose a user name. Your user name is a made-up name that you will use on the web site in order to protect your privacy. The web site will recognize you by your user name rather than your real name. No two people can have the same user name and sometimes it's difficult to find a user name that isn't already being used. Some people use a nickname, others use a combination of their first name, last initial, and maybe the last two digits of the year they were born. Be creative. User names cannot contain periods or spaces. Capitalization is optional.
You will also need to choose a password. Passwords usually have to be between 5 and 15 digits long. You can use letters, numbers, and some punctuation marks, but no spaces. You can use capital letters in your password, but remember: If you have a capital letter in your password, you will have to capitalize it every time you type your password in, or the password won't work. When you type your password, it will show up on screen as a series of asterisks (********). This is so no one can look over your shoulder and read it. The registration form will require you to type your password twice, to make sure it's spelled the way you want it.
The form might also ask you to choose and answer a security question; that is, a question that only you know the answer to. The security question is for backup; if you ever forget your password, you can click on a link that says "I forgot my password!" and access your account by answering the question correctly.
Some web sites won't complete your registration unless you agree to their terms of use. Usually, you do that by reading the terms of use and then clicking on a button that says "I Agree" or something similar.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 16/1/2014 (1284 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Appearing on CBC's "Dragons' Den" turned out to be a sweet deal for a Manitoba-based honey business.
Wendell Estate Honey, located in the Russell area, continues to thrive after accepting an offer from one of the "dragons," Jim Treliving, a year ago.
"It's an incredible advantage," said Martin Neuhofer, who handles marketing for Wendell Estate Honey. "Literally within minutes, we had a national presence, and we still have that."
Neuhofer was in Brandon on Thursday to speak at the Brandon Chamber of Commerce luncheon. He spoke about his experience on the national television show, how it boosted morale at the company and opened up doors with distributers.
"It's nerve-racking. It's 35 minutes of tough questioning," he said. "They edit it down to seven if you're lucky, which I was."
At least 200 hopefuls auditioned in Winnipeg, Neuhofer said. Only two were chosen to make the trip to Toronto. To step it up a notch, Neuhofer brought in live bees and wore an orange beekeeper suit for his pitch on "Dragons' Den."
"It's only a 50/50 chance that you get aired," he said. "This is what we wanted … that's why I went there. So if I go there and go through all this rigamarole and don't get aired, well then it's a waste. So what do you do to make it interesting?"
Wendell Honey was founded in the early 1940s by John Wendell. The farm has grown to house more than 3,500 beehives, now run by Tim and Isabel Wendell.
Just a few years ago, the farm decided to launch a new product, offering raw, unpasteurized, artisan honey in an elegant jar for the retail market. Previously the farm only produced in bulk.
Neuhofer presented the business plan to the Dragons, and the show aired Jan. 13, 2013.
After receiving a sample, Treliving said, "This is absolutely dynamite. We had this as kids at home."
Both Kevin O'Leary and Arlene Dickinson made offers to Neuhofer, but were asking for 50 per cent and 45 per cent of the business, respectively.
Treliving offered $200,000 for 25 per cent of the business, adding, "I know where Russell is, so I know how to get there."
Treliving, chairman and owner of Boston Pizza International, was born in Virden.
Honey orders began to come in immediately after the show aired, and Neuhofer said whenever the show is replayed, they see a noticeable spike in sales.
Neuhofer said the deal and appearance on "Dragons' Den" allowed the company to take a major short cut into the market.
"We produce an excellent product because we are in this rural area, because we're isolated, we have no pollution … all that provides us with a good crop," he said. "But we are as far away from any market as it possibly gets. So that is a really expensive endeavour to overcome … 'Dragons' Den' short-cutted that, like overnight."
The company is distributing honey across Canada, in China, and is currently working on breaking into Japan. Neuhofer said they hope to expand into the United States market as well, and is heading to Chicago for a meeting soon.
Neuhofer ended his talk with an inspiring message, comparing a business' success to the activity of a beehive.
"It takes a lot of people to succeed and we are mindful of that," he said. "You know, sometimes entrepreneurship is presented like one strong person, but that's nonsense in my opinion. The community builds this. We couldn't do this without the people helping us. You gotta share, you gotta work together."
Neuhofer said they hope to offer the honey for sale in Brandon soon, but in the meantime it can be ordered online at wendellestate.ca.

If you rebuild with --enable-cassert, does the crash get more reproducible? (Personally I would never consider developing any backend C code without that turned on.) It sounds like a use-of- already-freed-memory bug, and if so --enable-cassert will help you find it by clobbering memory blocks immediately during pfree. > Below is the basic outline of my code. I think you've forgotten that SPI_connect() and SPI_finish change memory contexts. The stuff you allocated in your startup step goes away as soon as you SPI_finish, leaving dangling pointers that SRF_RETURN_DONE tries to clean up. I'm also pretty uncomfortable with the fact that you're returning out of your function while still connected to SPI. That would certainly cause problems for anything else trying to use SPI in the same query. You would probably be better off using the return-a-tuplestore mechanism that plpgsql uses for set-valued results. That way you could connect to SPI, issue your query, push the tuples into the tuplestore, disconnect from SPI, and be done with only one pass through the function. This would be a tad inefficient with a huge number of tuples of course ... but you could convert the operation to use a SPI cursor and thereby avoid duplicate storage of the tuples. We didn't have tuplestores at the time the SPI API was designed. I wonder whether we shouldn't extend SPI to have an option to return tuples into a caller-provided tuplestore, instead of a SPI_tuptable. regards, tom lane

Then came the self-evolved answer, "Why, I have been asleep!"
The self-evolved feelings and impulses of a black-eyed nymph like Gnulemah were not likely to be orthodox.
Also his self-evolved translation of the duties of friendship is the last word on that subject.
Once it was said that they were moved by spirits, then by vortexes, now by self-evolved forces.
The universe is not self-existent, nor self-evolved, neither has it any inherent power of self-perpetuation.
For he (Raven gave him that credit) honestly believed in his self-evolved God.
1640s, "to unfold, open out, expand," from Latin evolvere "to unroll," especially of books; figuratively "to make clear, disclose; to produce, develop," from ex- "out" (see ex-) + volvere "to roll" (see volvox). Meaning "to develop by natural processes to a higher state" is from 1832. Related: Evolved; evolving.

Sean is one of the more highly recruited among the seven with offers from schools throughout the nation.
"I have eight offers," said Sean, a quarterback/safety prospect. "I have offers from Purdue, Northern Illinois, Mississippi State, Kansas State, Central Michigan, New Mexico, Minnesota and Iowa State."
As of now, the 6-2.5, 190-pounder is still considering all his options as far as favorite schools are concerned.
"I am pretty open right now. I haven't really been doing a lot of narrowing," he reported. "I've been looking at each school, but not too much. I'm trying to focus on the season."
But he and a few of his teammates will take some time off this summer to visit several of the schools that are showing interest in them. Sean's already taken unofficial visits to Purdue, Northern Illinois, Iowa, Illinois, Michigan State, Ohio State and Penn State this spring with plans to attend one-day camps at Michigan, Ohio State, Iowa and Mississippi State this summer.
Sean gave his thoughts about Mississippi State, the one school from the south that has extended an offer.
"I don't know too much about Mississippi State," he said. "I'm really looking forward to taking a visit. Me, my coach and a couple of the other guys are planning on going down there sometime this summer. We are going to their one day (Senior Day) camp."
Mississippi State is one of only two schools - the other is Northern Illinois - that is recruiting Sean as a quarterback, the position he prefers playing on the next level. This past season he passed for 700 yards and 12 touchdowns, while rushing for 450 yards and 10 touchdowns.
Will Sean be impressed with what he sees at Mississippi State enough to put them on his short list of favorites when he begins the process of narrowing his list? Keep it right here to find out.

text: Sexual chemistry - the secret to This Morning's success! Holly Willoughby, Phillip Schofield, Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes tell RadioTimes.com how it feels to have won at the NTAs for the third year in a row Comments Written By Ellie Walker-Arnott 1:24 PM, 24 January 2013 Last night's National Television Awards saw ITV's The Morning pick up the Daytime award for the third year in a row. After they'd collected their award, RadioTimes.com caught up with the stars of the show, Holly Willoughby, Phillip Schofield, Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford, backstage... So how does it feel to have got an NTA award hat trick? Holly Willoughby told us: "We were surprised the first year, we were surprised and overwhelmed the second year, the third year we were surpised and shocked and actually I kind of feel like I'm having an out of body experience." "It's lovely," said Phillip Schofield. "A bit of a shock, I thought Jeremy had got it in the bag this year." Eamonn Holmes revealed that the win came as a suprise: "I don't think we really expected to win it. It was a great competition in that catergory… Come Dine with Me, genius of a programme, The Chase, superb show, and Jeremy Kyle, the man is a televisual genius and probably deserved it… but we got it! Sorry Jezza!" Why do the presenters think the public are voting for This Morning year after year? "This morning is like your favourite magazine on the telly," said Ruth. "You kind of know what you're going to get but you're not absolutely sure because it's different every day." "I think it's the unpredictability," agreed Eamonn, "the mix, the shock factor, it's the chemistry between the hosts, which is just amazing… that sexual chemistry!" Phillip Schofield said: "We have a ball. We genuinely love each other, which is terrific, and we get on. And more and more people are coming on the show because they want to come on and because they trust us with their story." Watch our exclusive videos below: Like this? Share it.

Welcome to the Ifa Lethu Website
Through the initiatives and intervention of former Australian diplomats, Di Johnstone and Bruce Haigh, and the Australian High Commission in South Africa, the Ifa Lethu Foundation was launched in November 2005 by the then National Minister of Arts and Culture, Minister Pallo Z. Jordan. At that time its major objective was to respond to challenges in the heritage sector in South Africa. These challenges included the location of the country's heritage such as art and art objects outside the country, the lack of available skills in this sector, and the failure to use heritage to empower communities. To date (2015), the Foundation has repatriated over 500 artistic works from across the globe, which form "The Ifa Lethu Heritage Collection". This has travelled the world in exhibitions showing how human endeavour can overcome even the severest struggles of a nation and assist in efforts such as social cohesion.
Lessons learned in the Foundation's early years have led to development programmes aimed primarily at youth, which develop creative skills, provide business knowledge, and encourage creative entrepreneurship-with the ultimate aim of creating able youth leadership. During the period 2010 – 2015, these programmes spread to rural areas to upskill creative practitioners to export level and to create business ventures in poverty-stricken areas in KZN, Limpopo and Mpumalanga. To date more than 2400 youth, women crafters and girls, have benefitted from these development programmes, gone on to start their own business ventures, and/or have been employed, particularly in our unique fossil casting programme by heritage institutions, the private sector and institutions of higher learning.
