|BAE's upside-down flag.
It's a simple enough question, and one which is asked sufficiently frequently to have its own page on BAE Systems' frequently asked questions (FAQs) website section.
But, judging from the shocking ineptitude of their answer, I imagine people will be continuing to ask with frequency for years to come.
I remember, back when I used to leave the house sometimes, I'd see bad adverts – usually on billboards – and then write about them. One such advert I never got around to discussing was a BAE billboard that towered over the teeming masses at Waterloo Station in London town. It was a giant union flag (upside-down, mind you) with a short strapline about how great, and (I guess) British, BAE Systems is.
It was a bad advert – vague, pompous, loaded with all kinds of unnecessary baggage. Flags will do that to your adverts. Especially huge brazen ones the like of which are only normally seen accompanying royal celebrations or far-right rallies. (Or both.)
But what alternative is available to BAE? They can hardly depict children in far-off countries being blown to bits by the cluster bombs they once had no qualms manufacturing. It would be the equivalent of Ronald McDonald showing you a clogged artery or, I don't know, tobacco companies showing you a cancerous lung. (Oh, wait...)
But the economy is more important than anything else, and we know this because BAE isn't legally obliged to show shrapnel-ravaged corpses in its advertising properties. It is allowed to claim ownership of the national flag, however, because of its importance in its contribution to UK employment, trade and international diplomacy.
But, leaving all that aside, let's copy-edit that terrible FAQ answer into something actually resembling an answer to that damned pesky frequently asked question. And let's do so making the ridiculous assumption that the brief is to tell something close to the truth.
BAE says:
"Like all companies we have to prioritise where we do business."
I say:
[Nothing. That sentence is utterly meaningless and could happily be discarded.]
BAE says:"In setting these priorities we take into account a wide range of commercial, legal and reputational factors."
I say: We'd rather not tell you which countries we sell to.BAE says:
"BAE Systems will only pursue business opportunities when we are satisfied that our strict policies and governance systems can be complied with."
I say:
But we'll sell to pretty much anyone we're allowed to.
BAE says:"The sale of export equipment, whether it is the sale of weapon systems, platforms, equipment, and/or services is highly regulated."
I say: It's tough being an international arms-dealer these days.BAE says:
"BAE Systems works closely with and maintains a regular dialogue with governments in our home markets in relation to all our export sales."
I say:
Especially when Australia, India, Saudi Arabia, the UK and the US spend such little time invading people.
BAE says:"All export licence applications are considered by governments on a case-by-case basis and take into account the proposed customer country, the type of product or service to be exported, and its future use."
I say: The government frequently tries to piss on our chips.BAE says:
"Our applications comply with trade regulations and the requirements for end-user undertakings."
I say:
But even they cannot deny that murder is good for business.
BAE says:"Our Responsible Trading Principles help us make informed decisions about the business opportunities we pursue and help employees apply our values in their decision-making."
I say: We do what we want, as far as they'll let us.BAE says:
"See more on export controls." [Linked.]
I say:
Now piss off.
That's it.
So, my rewritten FAQ answer in its entirety goes... (all together now)
We'd rather not tell you which countries we sell to, but we'll sell to pretty much anyone we're allowed to.
It's tough being an international arms-dealer these days. Especially when Australia, India, Saudi Arabia, the UK and the US spend such little time invading people.
The government frequently tries to piss on our chips - but even they cannot deny that murder is good for business. We do what we want, as far as they'll let us.
Now piss off.
For anyone actually wanting to know which countries BAE sells to, reportedly: Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Zimbabwe, Indonesia, Tanzania. Anyone who'll buy, pretty much; countries with dubious regimes, often using BAE's products to persecute minority populations and... well, what do you expect people to use murder weapons for? Defence???
In future I suggest such answers are filed under an FEQs section – for frequently evaded questions. And one can file this blog under an FRLs section in tribute to everyone's favourite far-right Hungarian political party's "frequently refuted lies".
Now that's copywriting.

The bulk of summer produce is coming to an end- and although I am stoked at the thought of cooler weather, comfort casseroles, and soups to warm my soul- there is something about these roasted veggies that have my brain and my belly in good company. At the grocery store last week I saw some amazing looking zucchini and summer squash- I couldn't pass the opportunity to grab up a few while thoughts ran through my mind of how I was going to use them. Sure, sautéing them up in a frying pan as a side dish would be just as wonderful as any other way, but, sometimes I just want something different.
I think my Fireman appreciates this.

I came across a recipe for roasted veggie tacos on none other than Pinterest, and couldn't think of a better way to utilize this gorgeous looking produce as the main 'meat' for my tacos.
I roasted the zucchini and squash with tomatoes, garlic, fresh corn on the cob, and sweet peppers, and tossed them together with a little extra protein- chickpeas. You could most definitely sub out the chickpeas with black, red, or white beans.. or even pair them with a none vegetable protein here, like chicken or lean shredded beef. All would be equally as yummy.. and as I'm typing this I'm dreaming of the Costa Rican inspired Supper Club that we enjoyed this weekend- the shredded beef Jacqueline made (recipes to come!) would be perfectly paired with these roasted veggies. Yumm.
Something new to try before this summer comes to a close.
I made a simple avocado cream sauce as the recipe called to do, with a few of my own changes of course- ripe avocado, plain, non-fat Greek yogurt, lime juice, and a little cilantro- and hello, beautiful. You are delicious. Finished off with a touch of (pasteurized) Feta cheese and you are good to go with a satisfying meal. I ended up eating the leftover roasted vegetables the next day for lunch sans tortilla. I wrapped my veggies in a couple romaine lettuce leaves for a super lean lettuce wrap- I almost prefer this way of wrapping rather than the tortilla.
It could just be me and my new-found fickle tastebuds (thank you babies.) You be the judge of how you think they are served best.
I would suggest using the corn over the flour tortilla so the veggies don't to get lost in translations with the use of a hefty carbohydrate. The corn is a bit lighter in my taste.
Although summer produce is on it's way out the door- this is a must try. Easy and oh-so-tasty way to get in your veggies, and to practice going 'meatless once a week'. If you've never practiced Meatless Monday, here is your chance.
As for me..I've already enjoyed this meal x 2 days. So therefore I am currently dreaming of chili. Something about chili and football season make it as though the world is just right- circulating around me and me alone (not really.) I'll for sure be missing my summer grocery scene, but bring on the comfies and a steaming bowl of your best chili.
I'm so ready for fall.

- 1 medium summer squash, diced
- 3/4 cup diced red onion
- 1 ear sweet corn, removed from the cob
- 1 (4-ounce) container cherry tomatoes, cut in half
- 1 medium red pepper, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 (15-ounce) can reduced sodium chickpeas, rinsed and drained

- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- The juice of one lime
- Chopped cilantro
- 1/4 cup reduced fat crumbled Feta cheese
- 8 white corn tortillas (such as La Tortilla Factory)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine all vegetables and toss gently with olive oil, salt, cumin, and garlic. Roast vegetables until tender and slightly browned, about 30 minutes.
While vegetables are roasting, whip together the avocado, yogurt, cilantro, and lime juice.
Heat chickpeas in the microwave on HIGH, 2 minutes. Combine with roasted vegetables for serving.
To assemble tacos, warm tortillas (in the microwave wrapped in a damp towel) and evenly distribute the chickpea-roasted vegetable mixture and avocado cream among the 8 tortillas. Sprinkle each taco with 1 tablespoon Feta cheese.

Military Commission To Recommend Women For Combat Roles
Women soldiers should be allowed to serve in combat alongside male soldiers, a military commission is set to recommend in March. Presently, women soldiers are not allowed to be assigned to combat roles out of concerns they have weaker physical abilities, yet women can be attached to units that do fight in combat. Therefore, military experts say, women are already technically fighting in combat through that "loophole." But because women soldiers are not recognized for doing so, the experts continue, they are falling behind in their military careers. According to the investigatory commission, which was established by Congress and the White House, the military has been concerned that "women in combat impede mission effectiveness because they cannot handle the same equipment or tolerate the same physical stress as men." Yet experts say those concerns were based on more traditional modes of warfare where physical strength perhaps was more important. More modern warfare, some experts say, places less emphasis on physical strength and in any case, the women who have fought in combat through the "loophole" have done so quite capably.According to The Christian Science Monitor, within the military, opinions are mixed about whether the Pentagon should change the rules. According to figures dating back to 1997, the majority of men in the military said women should not serve in combat and that opinion only became more prevalent with rank. However, those views predate the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, so it remains to be seen how views might change today. Military women, however, were less likely to support combat exclusions.
Personally, I believe military women — who comprise 14 percent of the armed forces — should be able to serve in whatever role they seek. There is no doubt in my mind that there are some military women who are stronger and more physically fit than some of their male counterparts and nothing but plain ol' sexism is keeping them from combat roles. But considering the giant hullaballoo around abolishing "don't ask, don't tell" and allowing gays to serve openly in the military, I'm not holding my breath. [Christian Science Monitor]

If this were Spinal Tap, LeBron James would be running his amp at eleven. After his performance this week there's no doubt James is in the discussion for MVP ahead of anyone else. At the same time, Derrick Rose and the Bulls are keeping pace with the blistering Heat.
Game of the Week
Feb 29 – Chicago Bulls 96, San Antonio Spurs 89
Derrick Rose poured in 29 points as the Bulls won their 11th out of 13 games, while also becoming only the second team to win at San Antonio this season. The Spurs may be old, but at 24-11 they're no joke. This was a solid road win for Chi-town.
The West defeated the East 152-149 in the All-Star game in Orlando last weekend. Kobe Bryant broke his nose on a play via a hand to the face from Dwayne Wade. Bloodied and all, Bryant scored 27, breaking Michael Jordan's career All-Star game scoring record. Kevin Durant won the MVP with 36 points, even though LeBron James had 36 and Wade finished with a triple double.
Kevin Love won the 3-point contest, while Jeremy Evans won the dunk contest.
Named after Jeremy Lin, ice cream giant Ben & Jerry's had to apologize after releasing a 'Taste The Linsanity' flavor that involved fortune cookies.
The Miami Heat keep rolling; they've won nine in a row. While Chicago is on a four game win streak, watch out for Indiana as well, who have won five straight.
LeBron James became the first player in the history of the league to post 38 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists and 5 steals without committing a turnover Thursday night against Portland. The MVP race is looking more like a straight-out duel between James and Kevin Durant, with James having the edge.
On Feb 29 against the Cavs, Jeremy Lin led the Knicks to a win with 19 points and 13 assists.
The Wizards have now lost six straight and are only three games ahead of the 4-29 Bobcats.
Big Move
Trade rumors currently swirling that the Celtics are willing to deal Rajon Rondo…Some believe the Maverick's will be a major player in acquiring the Nets' Deron Williams in the coming months…The Magic still might deal Dwight Howard before the March 15 deadline. Some say they are interested in Golden State's Monta Ellis.
Keep An Eye On…
Michael Jordan – An outwardly spoken Charles Barkley (I know, hard to believe) criticized Jordan's ability in running the Charlotte Bobcats, saying that he's surrounded himself with too many 'yes' men, and that he needs to hire people that will have the guts to disagree with him. Jordan's Bobcats are currently the worst team in the NBA, and possibly might be the worst in the history of the league before it's said and done.
Best Records In The East
Miami 28-7
Chicago 29-8
Indiana 22-12
Orlando 23-14

If you are not already an Indiana resident, he says that you are expected to get an Indiana driver's license and registration for your car (if you have one). The Indiana Democratic Party disagrees, saying that this is the Republican SoS's way of discouraging college students from voting in Indiana. The Marion County (Indianapolis) Election Board simply says that college students can choose to vote, & the U.S. House Committee on Administration held hearings in 2008 on policies, press releases, & other actions that have been used to decrease student voting in specific states & districts.

Recycling computer saves our natural resources and prevents water and air pollution, as well as emissions of greenhouse gas that are caused by manufacturing materials. For example, one million recycle computers save energy equivalent to the electricity used by thousands of homes in a year.

I watched ITV1's Diana's Last Summer last night in the expectation - following a Daily Telegraph piece on Tuesday - that red-top editors would be admitting guilt over the accident in which she died. Well, one did.
Phil Hall, then editor of the News of the World, talked of "a circle of culpability" which involved readers, photographers and newspapers (meaning editors). "I felt huge responsibility for what happened and I think everyone in the media did," he said.
Everyone? It was clear that the photographers who were interviewed refuse to accept any blame. They stuck to the line that it was all the driver's fault (for being drunk and driving too fast). They were not chasing and, even if they were, they were a long way behind. And why were Diana and her companion, Dodi Fayed, so worried about being pictured anyway? We're not guilty. The paparazzi are misunderstood.
Hall was much more honest, but he is an ex-editor after all, and it's easy for former editors to own up.
The Sun's then editor, Stuart Higgins, was quoted in the Telegraph as saying: "I have often questioned my role, the paper's role and the media's role generally in her death and the events leading up to it." But he couldn't bring himself to accept blame for the accident. "In the end I believe it was just a terrible accident, caused by a drunken driver and possibly because of the lack of the high level of police and security protection that she had enjoyed previously."
Piers Morgan, the disgraced former Daily Mirror editor who has made a habit of offering disingenuous apologies for past misdemeanours, said: "Everyone working on national newspapers, in the first few days after she died, felt a collective sense that the paparazzi were out of control in relation to Diana.
She was the biggest celebrity we have ever seen and it got completely out of hand." Though her death was a "ghastly accident", he conceded: "We in the media were culpable in allowing the paparazzi to become ridiculously over the top."
Classic Morgan, of course. But I don't think any of these "admissions" really add up to an acceptance of blame. There is a continuing belief that the press and its agents, the paparazzi, were innocent on the night.

Crostyx Juniors secured their best set of results for the Essex Mini League so far on Sunday, winning ten of their 12 matches played.
Under-10 Girls
The Crostyx Under-10 girls are a young side and full of potential and commitment.
This was very evident in their match against Southend & Thurrock.
Inspirational Kiera Murphy was aided by Alice Kilby and Lottie Gillett in midfield and when Southend & Thurrock managed to get through Maddie and Tabitha in defence.
As the game wore on chances fell to Sophie Mackenzie and Sunni but they were unable to breakthrough before some great work from Bebe created panic in the D as the ball span loose Tabitha forced in a home goal. Final score 1-0.
The Under-10 girls' second game saw Crostyx take on a strong Tower Hamlets side and Crostyx never letter them settle from the first whistle.
Kate and Freya harried and hassled and it was only some wayward passing that let Crostyx down.
It looked like it was heading for a draw but a free hit taken by Gillett found Murphy out wide, who in a move straight from the training ground opened up the Tower Hamlets defence before she found Bebe who was the most determined of all the players close to the ball as she ensured the ball was slotted home for a 1-0 Crostyx victory.
Hopes were high as the Under-10 girls took to the third and final game of the day against the inform Hertford.
Despite plenty of toil and effort, in truth Crostyx were blown away by a bigger, older, wiser team who punished them on the break and always looked favourites after an early goal.
Crostyx could never get into the match and ended up losing 4-0.
Coach Nick Gillett said: "Overall the players will be stronger for the experience and they will look forward to the next fixutres to build on their experience."
Under-12 Girls
The Under-12 girls had a fantastic set of results on Sunday playing three and winning three in the Essex Mini League.
Crostyx Under-12 girls' first opposition were Southend & Thurrock.
Crostyx had a squad of nine so the rotation of fresh legs worked well. Siena Crossley, Safia Sheikh, Immogen Murphy and Zaynab Dar with spells in the defence, Helene Standring and Ruby James pairing up well in the midfield and Lucy Leel and Clara Johnston linking superbly in attack.
The girls opened the scoring with a superb solo effort from Leel shooting from the top of the D to score, the second goal came from Johnston after some excellent link up play with Standring.
Southend & Thurrock pushed forward until the very end and with a couple of minutes to go the score was level at 2-2.
Leel made a quick break and managed to score to lead at 3-2 but Southend 7 Thurrock continued to push forward. Talia Blanco made some class saves to ensure three points for the girls.
The Crostyx girls second game was against Tower Hamlets and as the defence absorbed the pressure the goals flew in. There were seven goals in total including Leel (2), Johnston (2), Standring (2) and James.
The third and final match of the tournament was against the toughest opposition of the day - Hertford.
Hertford broke early and slipped a goal into the corner of the Crostyx goal. The girls did well and absorbed a lot of pressure at the beginning of the match. Talia Blanco kept the girls in the match.
With good defending by Siena Crossley, Safia Sheikh and newcomer Zaynab Dar the girls eventually broke through a well-drilled Hertford side. There were goals from Leel (2) Murphy, Johnston and James.
The Under-10 Boys drew one and won two of their matches while the Under-12 boys won all of their three games.

Current performance may be lower or higher than the quoted past performance, which cannot guarantee future results. Share price, principal value, and return will vary, and you may have a gain or loss when you sell your shares. To obtain the most recent month-end performance, visit putnam.com.
Performance assumes reinvestment of distributions and does not account for taxes. Returns before sales charge do not reflect the current maximum sales charges as indicated below. Had the sales charge been reflected, returns would be lower. Returns at public offering price (after sales charge) for class A and class M shares reflect the current maximum initial sales charges of 5.75% and 3.50% for equity funds and Putnam Absolute Return 500 Fund and 700 Fund, and 4.00% and 3.25% for income funds (1.00% and 0.75% for Putnam Floating Rate Income Fund, Putnam Absolute Return 100 Fund and 300 Fund, and Putnam Short-Term Municipal Income Fund), respectively. Class B share returns reflect the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC), which is 5% in the first year, declining to 1% in the sixth year, and is eliminated thereafter (except for Putnam Floating Rate Income Fund, Putnam Absolute Return 100 Fund and 300 Fund, and Putnam Short-Term Municipal Income Fund, which is 1% in the first year, declining to 0.5% in the second year, and is eliminated thereafter). Class C shares reflect a 1% CDSC the first year that is eliminated thereafter. Performance for class B, C, M, R, T1, and Y shares prior to their inception is derived from the historical performance of class A shares, adjusted for the applicable sales charge (or CDSC) and, except for class Y shares, the higher operating expenses for such shares (with the exception of Putnam Tax-Free High Yield Fund and Putnam AMT-Free Municipal Fund, which are based on the historical performance of class B shares). Class R5/R6 shares, available to qualified employee-benefit plans only, are sold without an initial sales charge and have no CDSC. Class Y shares are generally only available for corporate and institutional clients and have no initial sales charge. Performance for Class R5/R6 shares before their inception are derived from the historical performance of class Y shares, which have not been adjusted for the lower expenses; had they, returns would have been higher. Class A, M, and T1 shares of Putnam money market funds have no initial sales charge. For a portion of the period, some funds had expenses limitations or had been sold on a limited basis with limited assets and expenses, without which returns would be lower.
** FundVisualizer comparison based on Putnam fund versus the largest fund in its Morningstar category.
The Morningstar RatingTM for funds, or "star rating", is calculated for managed products (including mutual funds, variable annuity and variable life subaccounts, exchange-traded funds, closed-end funds, and separate accounts) with at least a three-year history. Exchange-traded funds and open-ended mutual funds are considered a single population for comparative purposes. It is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a managed product's monthly excess performance, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of products in each product category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating for a managed product is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. The weights are: 100% three-year rating for 36-59 months of total returns, 60% five-year rating/40% three-year rating for 60-119 months of total returns, and 50% 10-year rating/30% five-year rating/20% three-year rating for 120 or more months of total returns. While the 10-year overall star rating formula seems to give the most weight to the 10-year period, the most recent three-year period actually has the greatest impact because it is included in all three rating periods.
The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index of common stock performance. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is an unmanaged index of U.S. investment-grade fixed income securities. You cannot invest directly in an index.
Consider these risks before investing: Stock and bond prices may fall or fail to rise over time for several reasons, including general financial market conditions, factors related to a specific issuer or industry and, with respect to bond prices, changing market perceptions of the risk of default and changes in government intervention. These factors may also lead to increased volatility and reduced liquidity in the bond markets. Growth stocks may be more susceptible to earnings disappointments, and value stocks may fail to rebound. Bond investments are subject to interest-rate risk (the risk of bond prices falling if interest rates rise) and credit risk (the risk of an issuer defaulting on interest or principal payments). Default risk is generally higher for non-qualified mortgages. Interest-rate risk is greater for longer-term bonds, and credit risk is greater for below-investment-grade bonds. Risks associated with derivatives include increased investment exposure (which may be considered leverage) and, in the case of over-the-counter instruments, the potential inability to terminate or sell derivatives positions and the potential failure of the other party to the instrument to meet its obligations. You can lose money by investing in the fund.

Buyer Power and Vertically Differentiated Retailers
We consider a model of vertical competition where retailers purchase an upstream input from a monopolist and are able to differentiate from each other in terms of quality. Our primary focus is to study the price, quality and welfare effects of introducing a large retailer, such as Costco or a Wal-Mart Supercenter, which is able to obtain lower wholesale prices (i.e., countervailing buyer power). We obtain two main results. First, the store with no buyer power (a "traditional retailer") responds to the presence of the large retailer by increasing its quality, a finding that is consistent with recent efforts by traditional retailers to enhance consumers' shopping experience. Second, the presence of a large retailer causes consumer welfare to increase through two different channels: a) the upstream discount obtained by the large retailer is partially passed on to the retail price, and b) a greater quality offered by the traditional retailer. Contrary to conventional wisdom, at low levels of countervailing power, most of the consumer welfare gains accrue to consumers with the highest willingness to pay for quality, due to the latter channel.

Buddhist monks are planning to open a meditation cave under Nottingham.
The cave below the Buddhist centre on Derby Terrace would be a place for people to be completely alone, said a spokesperson for the monks.
There are about 450 man-made sandstone caves in Nottingham dating back to the medieval period.
The caves have been used as dungeons, beer cellars, tanneries and air-raid shelters but there are no records of them being used for meditation before.
Venerable Edo Shonin and Venerable William Van Gordon opened the Bodhayati Vihara Buddhist centre near The Park in May.
The pair said the centre was home… Read the rest of this article…
Shirley Lancaster: Looking after our minds should be as natural as brushing our teeth. The government's Action for Happiness suggests daily habits – doing good to others, taking exercise and nurturing relationships – can improve our mental health, just as five-a-day fruit and veg portions improve our physical health.
The psychiatrist Dr Norman Rosenthal, best known for describing seasonal affective disorder, believes meditation is an essential daily habit. Addressing a seminar on Meditation and Mental Health in London this month – organised by Meditatio, the outreach programme of the World Community for Christian Meditation – Rosenthal said he wouldn't leave the house without it.

Mindfulness, he says, is about being present in the moment, being aware of our thoughts and feelings – so that instead of being overwhelmed by them we are better able to manage them. Using meditation and other techniques such … Read more »

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 1/9/2014 (1083 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
With school bells set to call Canadian youth back to campus, the wise words of celluloid hero Will Hunting are still ringing in my ears.
"You dropped a 150 grand on a f... education you coulda got for a dollar fifty in late charges at the public library."
That movie line was fiction, spoken and written by Harvard grad Matt Damon, but sadly that's the financial picture facing students today.
This I know as a university educator, as the mother of a high-school grad wondering where to learn, and as a researcher of "knowledge production" in the post-secondary millennial marketplace.
What's the price of knowledge today? When I started university years ago, my $540 tuition and $150 for books was easy to pay for with a summer job, which then allowed me to devote the academic year to full-time study.
That is not the case now. Faced with rising tuition and lifetime debt, students today squeeze class and study between shifts flipping burgers and serving drinks.
Statistics Canada reports between 1991 and 2005, undergrad arts tuition increased by 135 per cent from $1,714 a year to $5,366 a year. For 2011/12, undergrad tuition fees went up 4.3 per cent while inflation was up only 2.7 per cent in the same period. Costs of professional and graduate programs increased substantially more. Student debt hovers around $15 billion nationally.
The Canadian Federation of Students reports 55 per cent of students graduate with debt and 20 per cent owe between $10,000 and $30,000.
Today, upwards of 52 per cent of university operating budgets are made up of student tuition, where as in 1990, it was a mere 14 per cent.
It's not professors who have eaten the budget. The median salary of a tenured university professor in Manitoba is $98,900 and national salary increases are 2.8 per cent, a mere 0.1 per cent above the rate of inflation, yet workload has increased substantially as enrolments have increased 49 per cent in the past decade.
Universities, meanwhile, have come to rely on tuition as income, with institutions competing to attract what were once students and are now called "basic income units."
Is this the price of knowledge? There appears to be something wrong with the state of education.
Operating under financial constraints, universities have become focused on interests outside academic ones. They build buildings, they engage in massive marketing campaigns, they woo the elite for private donations and increasingly rely on third-party funding. Universities have become corporate. They look like marketing machines in competition with others creating and trying to sell programs at the best rate of return.
Governments seem to act solely as regulatory agents creating performance indicators and ensuring accountability.
It appears knowledge has become a commodity that is sold and exchanged, regulated and accounted for.
Under this arrangement, universities are often referred to as credential marts and increasingly mirror commercialized entities.
Noted scholar, fellow and tutor John Newman in his book The Idea of A University in 1854 suggested the idea of the university was intellectual formation. We have not come a long way on this front. It seems today this is defined as marketized, corporatized, demand-driven knowledge transfer instead of the intellectual, analytical and practical knowledge Newman suggested.
The optimism that education was to help society progress, be a key component of social change, social growth and social transformation as well as assisting people to develop their human potential is supplanted by a reality of unstable work, spending years paying off debt, and constant struggle and stress.
It is not a question of who is to blame for this but a question of what we should consider an appropriate way to acquire knowledge and what the institutions that provide that service should look like. I'll ponder this as I go to the library to return an overdue book.

Carlos Delgado and JJ Putz are both on the bench due to bone spurns, and now Jose Reyes will be joining them. He will not start tonight's game thanks to an injured ankle a stiff calf.
This could be a blessing in disguise as Reyes will get a chance to rest without being embarassed about a much-discussed benching following his poor base running over the past few games. No one on the Mets has said a benching had been a possibility, but it's been chirped about a lot around the talk radio circuit.
Jerry Manuel said he didn't think Reyes' trot to second after what he thought might have been a homer in yesterday's game was a lack of hustle. You'd think that the guy who notably yanked Reyes from the first game he managed last year after Willie Randolph was fired would have no problem benching Reyes. This way, he doesn't have to.
Hopefully, Reyes will take this opportunity to reflect on his base running and maybe clear his mind a little. He's practically played every game this season. A rest seems warranted, but only if it's for a day or two. The Mets can ill afford to have three important players riding the pine at one time.

A quick guide to running a disc image without having to hassle with burning it to a CD or DVD; handy trick to know if you're out of blank media.
These days the number of software programs we own keeps rising and rising, and we don't always have enough blank media on hand to burn images to disc to run. Some also don't want to hassle with the time and effort of burning images to a CD or DVD and want the convenience of being able to load the images as if they were physical discs.
Enter DAEMON Tools Lite. It's one of a number of virtual CD/DVD-ROM drive programs that allows you to an emulate a physical drive so that you don't have to burn an image to a disc. It emulates a drive so that all you have to do is load the image, sit back, and let DAEMON Tools do the rest.
DAEMON Tools is also useful for making backup image copies of your software so that you can store them all on your HDD and eliminate the clutter of stacks of CDs and DVDs.
So how does it work?
1. Install DAEMON Tools Lite
Be sure to select "Free License" during installation, and at no point do you need to pay for the software.
2. Open DAEMON Tools Lite
3. Add a DT Virtual Drive
Select the "Add DT Virtual Drive" button as pictured below.
4. Insert Disc Image
Drag and drop the disc image onto the virtual drive you've created. You should see an AutoPlay dialog box appear, much liek you woulkd if you had inserted the physical CD or DVD.
That's it your done. Now you dont have to buy blank CDs or DVDs to burn your favorite programs.
Stay tuned.

World Archives Project: As World Memory Project Turns Three, New Goal Is Set
by Anne Merrill
The World Memory Project celebrated its third anniversary in May. In honor of this milestone, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and Ancestry.com have set a new goal for the project: 3 million records indexed by the end of 2014.
"We are very pleased with how much the project has accomplished in its first three years," said project director Neath Guthrie, "and we are grateful to all of the contributors who have indexed nearly 2.5 million records. But our objective is to make as many records searchable to Holocaust survivors and their family members as possible, while the wartime generation is still with us."
The Museum's collection contains millions of pages of documents, each one of which could contain a valuable piece of information for a survivor or victim's loved ones.
We can only reach this goal through your continued support and enthusiasm, which was expressed so well by one contributor who wrote, "I truly enjoy keying the archives from the Holocaust. I so believe that these people deserve a voice and I feel that I am helping to provide that voice, so many years after they have died. It gives me a real sense of fulfillment."
Thank you to all who participated in the daily challenge during the week of the project's third anniversary, and please encourage your friends and neighbors to join us in this important endeavor.

Baked Guinness Corned Beef Recipe
Corned beef was something I hadn't really tried until until I met the boyfriend. It's not that I didn't think I would like it, but rather that it was a dish my family just never had cooked. I have to admit that the idea of boiling meat seemed odd to me at first, however when I tried my first boiled corned beef dinner I was sold and it became I meal we frequented year round. In fact, I was sold so much that when I wanted to try a different recipe for corned beef, the idea of baking it actually seemed foreign. Funny how that works, huh?
The boyfriend was really not sold on the idea of trying a baked corned beef, that is until he actually tasted it. At that point he was too busy stuffing his mouth to complain. 😉 We decided for St. Patrick's Day last year to try a different method and bake the corned beef as we were making colcannon (an Irish sort of mashed potatoes with bacon and cabbage or kale – follow the link for the recipe) and it seemed a bit redundant to boil potatoes and cabbage with the beef.
The nice thing about this recipe is that it is easy and pretty much set it and forget it. Even though it contains a good amount of beer, we really didn't think it tasted very strong at the end, but rather just deepened the flavor of the broth in a good way like a rich beef broth. Actually, we thought the broth was so good that we boiled it down a bit while the beef sat to make a slightly thickened juice that was wonderful over the beef, colcannon and perfect to dunk our fresh bread in. The main thing to be sure of is that you cover the meat with liquid whether you use all beer or half beer and water and allow the meat to cook until it's tender. Corned beef is not an overly tender cut, so it requires a hefty cooking time. We also made this with both cuts of corned beef (flat and point) and both turned out excellently. I cooked them at the same time and just layered them in the dutch oven.
This delicious corned beef is baked in the oven with Guinness, brown sugar and other seasonings that results in a tender beef and flavorful broth.
3-4 lb corned beef brisket
Brown sugar, light or dark is fine
Corned beef seasoning packet or about 1 Tablespoon pickling spice
1 large onion cut in half-moon slices
Garlic, 1-2 cloves cut in half or 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
1-2 bottles Guinness beer and/or water or beef broth
- Preheat oven to 300°F.
- Rinse beef thoroughly under cold water and pat dry.
- Place beef in dutch oven and cover with a thick layer of brown sugar.
- Add in seasoning packet or pickling spice, garlic and onion.
- Pour beer gently over and around beef, trying to not disturb the brown sugar too much. You may need a second bottle of beer, or use broth or water to completely cover the beef. It is very important to make sure the beef is covered or it may end up bitter tasting.
- Place lid on dutch oven and bake 3-6 hours, flipping meat once halfway through, until tender.
- Once tender, remove beef from broth, cover with foil and allow to rest about 10 minutes.
- While resting and then slicing beef, you can reduce the leftover broth on the stove top over medium-high heat for a wonderful sauce to go with your corned beef dinner or to cook potatoes, carrots, cabbage etc. in. Just remember to stir now and then.
- Serve and enjoy.
Afraid of the beer taste being too strong? Simply replace part of the beer with water or even beef broth.

Pornhub Expects a Notable Surge in 'Leprechaun Porn' Viewing Today
Happy St. Patrick's Day, weirdos.
Add "leprechaun porn" to the list of phrases you did not expect to read today.
According to Pornhub, the number of searches for "leprechaun" porn increases by about 8,000 percent on St. Patrick's Day. On a percentage basis, the increase in leprechaun porn searches is greater than the boost in searches for "Irish," "Irish Creampie," and "Celtic."
It's unclear how often people search for leprechaun porn on a daily basis. The 8,000 percent jump could be small in absolute value terms if hardly anyone ever searches for leprechaun porn on a regular day. Most people are likely still searching for "mom" or "teen" today. But that doesn't make these statistics any less amusing.
The rise of leprechaun porn on St. Patrick's Day might seem strange as hell, but it's not without precedent. During Christmas time, Pornhub users have a proclivity for "Santa" porn. The chart below breaks down which Pornhub search terms become popular on St. Patrick's Day.

The 'Glee' star honors his late co-star with a cover of Travis McCoy's 'Bilionaire', the song that they performed with Kevin McHale in the second season of the FOX hit series.
Chord Overstreet dedicated a song to Cory Monteith at his show at The Roxy in Los Angeles on Saturday, July 20. The 24-year-old singer covered Travis McCoy's "Billionaire" and recalled, "I sang this with Kevin McHale and Cory Monteith." The three stars performed the song in the second season of "Glee". "I love you Cory!" Overstreet added.
After the show that was attended by "Glee" castmates McHale, Dianna Agron and Jenna Ushkowitz, Overstreet talked about Monteith in an interview with E! News. "He was the greatest dude you'd ever met," Overstreet told the site. "Never met anyone who said anything bad about him."
"Everybody loved him... I spent more time with him than I have with anyone in my family in the last three or four years... We're a family," he added. Overstreet also admitted he felt sad that Monteith wasn't able to see his performance. "If he's out there watching, I would want him to look down and give me a high five," Overstreet said.
Overstreet is not the first "Glee" star who paid tribute to Monteith. Last week, Matthew Morrison played "What I Did for Love", which was taken from the Broadway classic "A Chorus Line", and dedicated it to the late 31-year-old star.
Monteith died in Canada earlier this month after taking a lethal combination of heroin and alcohol. FOX has decided to delay the start of production on season 5 of their hit series until the beginning of August.

Dario, the operator was the most helpful, genuine host you could hope for!! Without asking he was waiting at the bus station for us, help us with our bags and took us to our apartment! We then managed to get lost in the same afternoon, and luckily he had given us his mobile number. We contact him, and without hesitation, he came and found us!! We then needed to move hostel and he again took us to the new spot and arranged the place without any effort. We thank Dario greatly for his efforts!! A++

We were appalled with this hostel, and we NEVER EVER return nor recommend the place to anyone. we ended up having to SHARE a single bed with two of us, because the bed WE PAID FOR was covered in about 13 guys stuff as they had clearly taken over the room, this was AFTER we were told that the three of us staying there were SEPARATED JUST REVOULTING. So we were not happy, the stairs were impossibly hard to climb, steep, narrow and twisted. DISGUSTING HOSTEL

"The "swirled in style" save the date postcard was a great option for our wedding - simple, clean and direct. The customer service designer was awesome to work with and made the card exactly what I envisioned. I just wish that the card was printed on a thicker card stock, but it doesn't impact the card quality."
"I love the quality of the cards and the envelopes. The size of the cards are almost 4 1/2 x 5 1/2. A perfect size to realize that it's something important in your mailbox. It looks great on my refrigerator with a magnet and in my curio on display. I highly recommend the black and gold border."
"Very beautiful & sophisticated. Timeless & classic design. Beautiful colours that match similar real flowers. The font is great & easy to read. Highly recommend."
"Fell in love all over again! Our save the dates came out perfect. Perfect quality, services, & pricing! Would definitely recommend to everyone!"

Uma Thurman's man hunt
Uma Thurman is on the hunt for a new man, insisting that she is still "out there and available if anyone's interested"
She told Grazia magazine: "As one who adores the male species, I feel compassionately towards them. I've studied them carefully like a hunter watches its prey. I love all the guys out there."
When you're a rich, beautiful, famous blonde actress, I have a hard time believing it's too difficult to find a man. Uma probably has to hunt for men about as much as Samuel Jackson has to hunt for self tanner. It's like I was telling her the other night in bed, "Babe, you have too much dignity to go slumming after a man. Ok? Good. Now go ahead and re-grease the vibrating donkey."


text: House Of Cardinals, a House Of Cards parody that would have otherwise merely been a middling "Wouldn't it be funny if…?" joke has, due to the grace and glory of the Internet, been transubstantiated into a surprisingly professional trailer. Tony Pasqualini stars as Francis Underwood, an ambitious cardinal who views Benedict XVI's resignation as the perfect opportunity to set his sights on the big hat. Intrigue and egregious fourth-wall-breaking ensue. Most of the gags are what you would expect from a spoof set in Vatican City (namely, celibacy jokes and a suggestively placed altar boy), but the video is surprisingly well put together for a project with such a wafer-thin premise.

Islamabad, Sept. 9 (ANI): Pakistan's senior political and religious leaders will begin a daylong conference in Islamabad Monday to share their proposals for a national security policy that will also include the option to hold talks with the Taliban militants.
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, who has convened the All Parties Conference (APC), will deliver speech and will listen to the views of the political leaders, mostly from opposition parties.
Head of the country's superior intelligence agency Inter- Services Intelligence, Lt. Gen. Zaheeer-ul-Islam will brief the conference on the overall security situation and is likely to respond to questions from the participants.
According to Xinhua, the Army Chief General Ashfaq Pervaiz Kayani will also attend the meeting.
Interior Minister Nisar Ali Khan said the conference is aimed at making efforts to bring peace to the country and the political leadership is fully extending its cooperation.
He expressed the hope that a consensus resolution will be adopted at the end of the conference, which will give a roadmap to the government as to how it should move forward to overcome terrorism and establish peace in the country.
The conference will discuss the possibility of talks with the Taliban and the government wants to get backing for the move.
The conference will also devise a comprehensive strategy for overcoming terrorism that has claimed over 40,000 lives, mostly civilians, in 12 years.
All major political parties have accepted the invitation to participate in the conference, the Interior Minister told a news conference ahead of the meeting.
The meeting is a rare opportunity for all political parties to come up with a joint approach to deal with the issue of terrorism which has badly affected the normal life in Pakistan and its economy.
Officials said that the country had suffered losses of nearly 70 billion U.S. dollars due to terrorism and foreign investors are unwilling to come to Pakistan. (ANI)

National Court Reporters Association
Advertising Policy
Effective November 1993
(Latest Revision March 2011)
A. No advertisement submitted for publication in any NCRA publication may be false, misleading, deceptive, in poor taste or contrary to the purposes and objectives of NCRA. NCRA has the right to refuse advertising from any vendor whose activities are contrary to the purposes and objectives of NCRA or whose activities violate the NCRA Code of Professional Ethics.
B. Although the NCRA certifications and their abbreviations are personal certifications, the phrase "includes RPRs" or "includes Registered Professional Reporters" may be used by a court reporting entity in its advertisements, if a majority of the reporters employed by or independently contracted for by said firm or entity hold said certification. This policy shall equally apply to other NCRA designations.
C. Only designations currently conferred by NCRA, as well as designations for a court reporter that are officially recognized by the state in which the court reporter is licensed to practice, may be used to refer to the services or skills of a court reporter in an advertisement appearing in an NCRA publication. This Advertising Policy is not intended to prohibit or restrict the use of academic degrees or other professional designations unrelated to court reporting skills or services in advertisements appearing in NCRA publications.

E. NCRA will not publish advertisements that indicate a preference in terms of race, color, sex, national origin, age, disability, pregnancy, marital status, religion, sexual orientation, or political affiliation.
F. A copy of this Advertising Policy and the NCRA Code of Professional Ethics shall be given to each person or entity that submits an advertisement for publication in an NCRA publication. The person or firm submitting the advertisement must (1) certify that such advertisement complies with the above requirements; and (2) agree to provide, upon request, satisfactory proof that the above requirements are satisfied. The person or firm must also agree to be bound by and follow the NCRA Code of Professional Ethics.
G. NCRA retains the right to reject any advertisement submitted for publication in an NCRA publication if, in its judgment, such advertisement does not meet all the requirements specified in this Advertising Policy. or if the activities of the person or firm submitting such advertisement are contrary to the purposes and objectives of NCRA or violate the NCRA Code of Professional Ethics.
