Minister's court win intensifies fears for rule of law in Greece
Financial Times
August 9, 2017
Fears for the independence of the Greek judicial system are mounting after the foreign minister won a court order freezing the bank accounts of a leading magazine over a reader's letter describing him as a former "fanatical" Stalinist.
The ruling in favour of Nikos Kotzias has drawn sharp criticism from academics and public figures, who say it violates EU law on freedom of expression. It also highlights broader concern over perceived interference in the justice system by the leftwing Syriza government.
The concerns widened beyond Greece last week when senior eurozone officials warned the government that the continued prosecution of Andreas Georgiou, its former statistics chief, over claims he inflated the size of the country's budget deficit in 2009, threatened to drive a wedge between Athens and its euro area creditors.
The affair comes as Brussels is already locked in stand-offs with Poland and Hungary over the rule of law that have raised questions over the EU's ability to enforce the democratic standards at the core of the European project.

Lessons for the eurozone from Greece's painful crisis years
Financial Times
August 7, 2017
Greece is finally growing again. But it has been arguably the eurozone's greatest failure. Catapulted into a debt crisis with a 15 per cent government spending deficit in 2009, the country suffered eight years of economic contraction. Unemployment is still 23 per cent, youth unemployment 45 per cent. Greece's "Great Depression" has been as deep as that of the US in the early 1930s, but twice as long.
Can Europe learn from the country's painful experience? A first lesson is to reform at the top of the cycle. Greece had to adjust in recession because it failed to do so in its pre-crisis boom. Reforms should always be adopted in times of growth, when people are confident and losers can be compensated. An upswing can buy time to implement reforms, but should not be invoked as evidence that reforms are unnecessary. The eurozone is now in its strongest period of post-crisis recovery. But it should avoid complacency. Reforms are necessary for the long-term viability of the monetary union. We need a stabilisation budget and joint-borrowing capacity; greater risk sharing; and financial union to break the doom loop between banks and government.
After September's election in Germany, and assuming Emmanuel Macron delivers domestic reforms in France, Europe will be at the top of its political cycle. This is the time to push ahead with eurozone reforms. They will require painful concessions: the Germans refuse joint deposit insurance or a fiscal backstop, the French are not keen to surrender control over the national budget and the Italians reject ceilings on bank exposure to sovereign debt. But something must give.
Elstat suspends preliminary Greek GDP estimate after discrepancies
Financial Times
August 7, 2017
Greece's statistical agency will no longer public "flash" estimates of the country's gross domestic product after delays in data collection have led to frequent revisions of official growth figures.
Elstat said on Monday that its second quarter GDP estimate for 2017, which was due to be announced on August 14, would not be made public. Instead it said the provisional estimate, which is calculated using a bigger range of inputs from the economy, would be published on September 1 as scheduled.
The agency said it decided to suspend the flash estimate "in order to explore the availability of the necessary data sources that would help improve the consistency of the flash estimate."
An Elstat official said some data used to calculate the flash estimate was incomplete, making revisions necessary when updated figures arrived.

A legal farce calls Greek reform into question
August 6, 2017
After years of punishing austerity, Greece finally has grounds to hope it will regain its financial independence when its bailout programme ends next summer. The economy has returned to modest growth. Against expectations, Athens has hit its fiscal targets and secured a pledge of further debt relief from creditors. Yet despite the huge efforts made to put the public finances on a more sustainable trajectory, there remain serious doubts over the government's commitment to reform the Greek state, rid institutions of political influence and guarantee the rule of law.
The conviction last week of Andreas Georgiou, the country's former chief statistician, for "violating" his duties during the sovereign debt crisis, is especially worrying. Mr Georgiou has for six years been fighting accusations that, as head of Elstat, the statistical agency, he inflated Greece's 2009 budget deficit, forcing the country to undergo deeper austerity.
No matter that he had been acquitted of these charges a few months earlier, only to have the case reopened. No matter that the EU's statisticians — whose standards he was supposed to be following — have endorsed both the procedures he followed and the figures he produced, describing last week's trial as a "preset farce". Mr Georgiou — a former IMF official and thus part of a hated international technocracy — is a convenient scapegoat for the failures of Greece's political class.

Greece scapegoats a statistician who only did his job
August 4, 2017
In Greece, the lucrative tourism industry is threatened this summer by millions of oversized jellyfish washing ashore on the nation's beaches. An even slimier development is the ongoing persecution of the country's first independent chief statistician, whose tough-minded steps to straighten out Greece's notoriously fraudulent economic data have been repaid with farcical prosecutions by a judicial system rapidly discrediting itself in the world's eyes.
Andreas Georgiou, an American-trained economist who spent two decades working at the International Monetary Fund, was hired as Greece's top statistician in 2010 as the country's debt crisis was spiraling out of control. His goal was to honestly report economic data that for years had been fudged by politicians and officials seeking to minimize their own fateful fiscal mismanagement.
Having done just that, by applying reporting standards widely accepted across Europe, he is now scapegoated as the cause of the painful austerity program imposed on Greece by the IMF and European Union. Four times in recent years, an array of criminal accusations against Mr. Georgiou have been dismissed by prosecutors, only to be revived by judicial authorities amid fury by politicians and media outlets. This month, an Athens appeals court gave Mr. Georgiou a two-year suspended sentence — essentially for reporting accurate information to European authorities during the debt crisis.

By convicting an honest statistician, Greece condemns itself
August 3, 2017
Greek economic data is completely unreliable. That's what I told Andreas Georgiou — as politely as I could — shortly after he had been put in charge of the Greek statistics agency in 2010.
He must not have been surprised at my answer. After all, that was exactly the problem he had been hired to fix by ensuring that the agency broke free of political influence.
And fix it he did, injecting the agency with a stiff dose of independence and markedly improving the data it produced.
His reward? Prosecution and, ultimately, conviction.
On Tuesday, Georgiou was handed a two-year suspended sentence for "breach of duty" during his stint at the head of the statistics agency, Elstat — a travesty that goes beyond the unfair treatment of one statistician to questions about the progress of Greece's economic recovery and the sustainability of the eurozone.

Eurozone officials in warning on Greece statistics trial 'farce'
Financial Times
August 2, 2017
Senior eurozone officials have warned that the continued prosecution in Greece of its former statistics chief is threatening to drive a wedge between Athens and its euro area creditors, only weeks after the country brokered a deal on the next stages of its €86bn bailout.
A suspended sentence handed down this week against Andreas Georgiou has prompted consternation among EU policymakers, reviving what many capitals fear is a series of politically motivated trials intended to restore the economic reputation of previous governments.
The long-running affair is likely to be put on the agenda of eurozone finance ministers in September amid "concern about the conviction across institutions", said a diplomat. The judicial proceedings centre on Mr Georgiou's time in charge of Elstat, the independent statistics agency set up as a condition of the first Greek bailout.
In remarks on Twitter that reflect deep unease in Brussels at Mr Georgiou's conviction, Valdis Dombrovskis, European Commission vice-president, said he was following developments with concern. It was "important that [the] independence of Elstat and people who do their jobs are protected in line with the law", said Mr Dombrovskis, who has responsibility for euro affairs.

Former Greek data chief given suspended sentence
Financial Times
August 1, 2017
An Athens appeal court has handed Greece's former statistics a two-year suspended sentence for "violating" his duties during the country's sovereign debt crisis.
The conviction of Andreas Georgiou came as a surprise as the former chairman of country's statistical agency, Elstat, had been acquitted of the same charges by another appeals court only eight months ago. The case was reopened by Greece's top prosecutor on grounds that a possible misjudgment had occurred.
Mr Georgiou is seen by many in Athens as the victim of a campaign to shift the blame for Greece's financial mismanagement away from the New Democracy government who ran the country in the run-up to the debt crisis and which is blamed for borrowing recklessly on international markets.
The former statistics chief is accused of deliberately inflating the 2009 budget deficit figure from 13.6 per cent to 15.4 per cent of gross domestic product so that Greece would be forced to seek additional bailout aid and prolong harsh austerity policies required by the EU and International Monetary Fund, his former employer.
Greek Court Finds Former Statistics Chief Guilty of Breaching Duties
Wall Street Journal
August 1, 2017
A Greek court found the country's former top statistician guilty of breaching his duties, ruling he should have sought approval before he told European Union authorities of the full extent of Greece's budget deficit at the start of its debt crisis.
The Athens Appeals Court handed Andreas Georgiou, head of Greece's official statistics agency in 2010-2015, a two-year suspended jail sentence on Monday for his handling in 2010 of the revision of Greece's deficit data for previous years.
Mr. Georgiou denies any wrongdoing and has won widespread support from international statisticians, who say he is the victim of unjust persecution.
The EU has repeatedly certified that Mr. Georgiou reported Greece's fiscal data accurately, in contrast with earlier Greek practices that EU bodies have said deliberately hid the scale of the country's deficits.

Greece's former data chief 'violated' his duties, court told
Financial Times
July 31, 2017
An appeals court prosecutor has called for Greece's former statistics chief to be convicted for "violating" his duties during the period when the country was gripped by a worsening sovereign debt crisis.
Andreas Georgiou is accused of failing to hold the correct board meetings when he was chairman of Elstat, the Greek statistical agency, and of secretly endorsing austerity policies backed by the International Monetary Fund, his former employer.
"He neglected his duties by failing to hold the required monthly meeting of the board of directors . . . What did he want? To be the sole arbiter of Greek statistics and the star of the show?" prosecutor Lambros Patsavelis told a packed court in his summing up of the case against Mr Georgiou.
The former Elstat chief, who denies the charges, is facing his second trial over the affair after being acquitted in December by an appeals court. A senior Greek prosecutor ordered the case to be reopened with a different panel of judges, after examining documents from earlier hearings.
Greece's Road to Bailout Exit: 140 Reforms Down, Many More to Go
July 31, 2017
Greece's hard times aren't over.
A return to the bond market last week, the pledge of 8.5 billion euros ($9.5 billion) in new loans from euro-area creditors, the possibility of more money from the International Monetary Fund and a S&P Global Ratings outlook upgrade have coalesced to bolster investor sentiment that Greece has turned a corner.
Trouble is, much depends on the country implementing reforms -- dozens of the 140 measures agreed to are in various stages of application and more than 100 additional actions are needed to access the remaining 26.9 billion euros in funds before the current bailout program ends in August 2018.
While the evidence of belt-tightening is everywhere in Greece, from falling incomes to rising poverty, the country has less to show in terms of structural overhauls. Creditor demands for more measures threaten to become politically explosive as Greek citizens and businesses count the cost of the financial crisis that has thrown their lives into turmoil over the last seven years.

Crisis-Plagued Europe Sees a New Dawn After Greek Market Return
July 27, 2017
Five years after the sovereign debt crisis nearly tore the euro area apart, the currency bloc's biggest problem child appears on the road to recovery as the region continues to tick off boxes underscoring its revival.
Greece sold 3 billion euros ($3.5 billion) of bonds this week for the first time since 2014, when the prospect of Alexis Tsipras's election catapulted borrowing costs to unsustainable levels. The country's return from the wilderness comes as a new French president has raised expectations about deeper economic integration following successive defeats of europhobic parties.
While there are still uncertainties clouding the euro area's outlook, Greece's rebound draws a line under a seven-year crisis, when the fight to preserve the currency union had become a daily routine.
"The euro zone's recovery is real and political risk has receded," said Manolis Galenianos, a professor of economics at the Royal Holloway, University of London. "This is not a facade."

Greece Still Hasn't Turned the Corner
July 26, 2017
Greece returned to the private debt market this week for the first time in years, raising 3 billion euros at a relatively affordable interest rate of 4.6 percent. That's encouraging news -- but it doesn't mean the euro zone's most flattened economy is on course for sustained growth.
The economy is showing signs of life, growing a bit in the first quarter, and the government has gotten a tighter grip on the budget. But Greece's long-term debt position is still dire, and its deeper structural reforms have barely begun. Greece hasn't yet put its problems behind it.
Investors are apparently willing to take an optimistic view of their likelihood of getting repaid. The International Monetary Fund has helped fuel this optimism by approving "in principle" new assistance to Greece, which serves as a seal of approval for its policies and those of its euro-zone official creditors.
Greek bond sale wins rare praise from Germany's Schäuble
Financial Times
July 26, 2017
Two years ago Wolfgang Schäuble said "it would be better" for Greece to leave the eurozone. But in rare praise this week Germany's steely finance minister struck a much warmer note.
"Greece has carried out many reforms and is on a good path," said Mr Schäuble in a media interview — support that shows how far the country has come since the EU's tense five-month stand-off in 2015 with the leftwing government of Alexis Tsipras.
His comments came in the same week that Greece returned successfully to the sovereign debt market with a €3bn bond offering, which was more than twice subscribed. A buoyant Mr Tsipras hailed the issue as "the most significant step towards ending this unpleasant adventure of the memorandum [bailout]." Euclid Tsakalotos, the finance minister, said Greece would hold another two or three bond sales in the coming months with the aim of building a sufficient cash buffer to keep the government afloat after it exits an €86bn bailout in August next year.

Greece stages a welcome return to capital markets
July 25, 2017
It is precisely five years since Mario Draghi declared the European Central Bank ready "to do whatever it takes" to preserve the euro. With the eurozone's recovery in full swing and the ECB starting to edge towards an exit from stimulus, there could be few better ways to mark the anniversary than a successful sovereign bond issue by Greece — the biggest casualty of the single currency area's debt crisis.
The €3bn sale of a 5-year bond — of which about half came from existing investors who swapped their holdings of debt maturing in 2019 — is a tentative first step. It may say as much about investors' desperate search for yield as it does about Greece's rehabilitation with capital markets (a yield of 4.625 per cent on the new bond is less impressive than it seems, given the negative yield on German 5-year debt). Yet it is still a breakthrough to be celebrated.
The last time Athens was able to raise money on the open market was in 2014, shortly before the radical Syriza coalition arrived in government, throwing Greece's bailout programme into disarray. Yet for all the turbulence, investors who bought those bonds — even as recently as February — stand to make a healthy profit.
Yesterday's bond sale is a reflection of the progress Greece has made and a precondition of further progress.
Greece Gets Solid Demand for First Bond Issuance in Three Years
Wall Street Journal
July 25, 2017
Greece got solid demand Tuesday for its first bond issuance in three years, in what the government sees as the first of several moves that will enable the debt-ridden country to wean itself from new bailouts.
Tuesday's deal included an invitation for holders of a bond coming due in 2019 to swap their securities for new ones due in 2022.
Greece sold €3 billion worth of the 2022 bond, Greek government officials and bankers said. About half of that is new money, and half is existing investors in the 2019 bond who switched, according to one of the banks managing the deal.
The new bond matures in August 2022 and will yield 4.625%. The 2019 bond is yielding around 3.2%, so investors will be paid a decent premium for participating in the swap.
Greek bonds have been on a tear of late. Greece paid €102.60 per €100 face value of the 2019 bond. A year ago, the bond was trading below €90.
Greece Raises EU3 Billion in Bond Market Return After 3 Years
July 25, 2017
Greece raised 3 billion euros ($3.5 billion) in its first tapping of the bond market since 2014, with investors piling in on expectations the worst may be over for what was once the epicenter of Europe's debt crisis.
Yield-hungry investors welcomed the new Greek paper, which carried a 4.625 percent yield. The sale by the sub-investment-grade rated country drew 6.5 billion euros in more than 200 offers, said a Greek government official, requesting anonymity because the information is not public. Greece's last five-year bonds in April 2014 priced at 4.95 percent. Greece sold the new bonds along with a tender offer for the notes due 2019.
With the sale, the government of Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras is seeking to chalk out a path for an exit from the current bailout program, which ends in August 2018, while also capping the country's financing needs in 2019 -- expected to be about 19 billion euros. Greece decided to test the markets after it failed to convince creditors to immediately reduce its debt burden and was left out of the European Central Bank's bond-purchase program.
The outcome "was better than we expected," Greek Finance Minister Euclid Tsakalotos said in comments broadcast live on state-run ERT TV. "This is not the end. There will be a second and a third" bond sale to ensure the country exits its bailout program in August 2018, he said.
"Tsipras left behind 'collision economics' a long time ago, and has apparently decided that the best strategy for re-election in 2019 is to exit the bailout program," Nicholas Wall, manager at Old Mutual Global Investors, said in e-mailed comments.

Greece Looks to Turn a Corner After Years of Economic Pain
New York Times
July 24, 2017
Greece, long Europe's economic problem child, is trying to prove that it has made progress in its recovery efforts by announcing plans to sell debt for the first time in years.
The proposed bond sale, the details of which were released on Monday, offered hope that Greece might at last be preparing to wean itself off the international bailouts totaling 326 billion euros, or about $380 billion, that it has relied on since 2010 to stay afloat.
The sale is a pivotal moment in the painfully fought efforts of Greece to recover from troubles stemming from the financial crisis that began on Wall Street nearly a decade ago and that at one point threatened to break up Europe's currency union.
If investor interest is strong, it would be a landmark moment, not only for Greece but also for the eurozone, the 19 countries that use the euro. If Greece struggles to find buyers, however, the debt sale could represent yet another blow for a country that has only recently started to see signs of a turnaround after nearly veering out of the currency union just two summers ago.
Greece names six banks for first bond issue since 2014
July 24, 2017
The Greek government has hired six banks to manage its return to the international bond markets after three years.
Goldman Sachs, Citi, Deutsche Bank, HSBC, BNP Paribas, and Bank of America Merrill Lynch will manage the deal to issue a five-year bond maturing in 2022 – Greece's first since 2014. The new debt is due to launch tomorrow.
Greece's left-wing Syriza government has eyed a return to the debt markets to underscore its economic rehabilitation after it was bought to the brink of a eurozone exit two years ago. The government has managed to secure its latest tranche of bailout cash and is looking to slowly build up its cash buffers ahead of the end of its current rescue programme in August 2018.
On Friday, S&P ratings upgraded its outlook on Greek government debt from stable to "positive" on the back of hopes the country will receive further debt relief from its EU creditors.

Greece on brink of return to sustainable growth, economists believe
Daily Telegraph
July 23, 2017
Greece could be close to returning to sustainable economic growth at last after almost a decade of devastating recessions and crises, economists believe.
The country's government is getting closer to restoring a degree of financial stability through the latest round of talks with the EU and the International Monetary Fund. After several false dawns, UBS's chief economist for the region hopes that only a few more steps could be required to put the troubled economy firmly on the right track.
Gyorgy Kovacs believes that finalising the debt relief plan combined with Greece's inclusion in the European Central Bank's bond-buying programme would be one serious improvement, and that further improvements in economic sentiment, with the liberalisation of capital controls, is another.
"What we have seen is that, compared to the first quarter, there has been a positive turn in the economy. If we add on top of that the closure of the review, hopefully it will bring improved confidence into Greece," he said.
"Hopefully it will allow the end of capital controls, or the easing of those."

To exit (to borrow from the markets) or not to exit: Greece's new dilemma
by Theodore Pelagidis
Brookings Institution
July 21, 2017
Athens desperately needs to sell a 3 billion euro, five-year Greek government bond with a yield of around 4.5-4.7 percent as it strives to convince the markets—as well as domestic voters—that the economy is about to recover after eight years of depression and austerity. So, it is willing to pay much more than the 0.89-1.2 percent that the European Stability Mechanism (ESM) is currently charging as part of Greece's bailout program. Indeed, on July 11, the ESM announced that 7.7 billion out of a total tranche of 8.5 billion euros would flow to the Greek state, of which 6.9 billion euros will cover loan maturities that expire this month. Then, on July 21, the board of the International Monetary Fund approved in principal a conditional loan worth as much as 1.6 billion euros for Greece—just the reassurance requested by many euro-area creditors. Yet Greece's Gordian knot is far from untied and the most recent conditional acceptance by the fund regarding what amounts to a "precautionary stand-by arrangement" won't translate to an immediate disbursement.
The urgent need for a "Grexit" to the global borrowing markets' either amounts to a symbolic government effort to show investors that the economy is recovering or is something political. Despite recent optimism expressed about the likelihood of a Greed re-entry, its timing is far from guaranteed. According to the latest news, the European Commission, the European Central Bank and the IMF—also known as the troika—seem to have reacted by favoring a postponement of a bond issuance by Greece for the next few days, weeks, or even months. But questions remain, as the troika surely knew in advance about the Greek government's intentions.
The IMF is insisting that Greece's debt is hugely unsustainable, especially in the long-term. According to the fund, measures either taken or proposed so far by the Europeans, such as the 15-year interest deferral and maturity extension for some of the European Financial Stability Facility/ESM loans, won't make the country's debt burden sustainable. The IMF's July 20 Debt Sustainability Analysis (DSA) just confirmed this view. Greece is not qualified by any standard to exit its program and re-enter the markets. Among other things, such a move would add new debt to the already colossal burden it currently carries, which is equivalent to around 180 percent of GDP. So, even if Greece successfully borrows with a 4.5 percent interest rate, which will make the debt even more unsustainable, mainly by adding to the government's gross financial needs (GFN).

Greece Approved for $1.8 Billion Conditional Loan From IMF
July 21, 2017
The International Monetary Fund agreed to a new conditional bailout for Greece, ending two years of speculation on whether it would join in another rescue and giving the seal of approval demanded by many of the country's euro-area creditors.
The Washington-based fund said Thursday its executive board approved "in principle" a new loan worth as much as $1.8 billion. The disbursement of funds is contingent on euro-zone countries providing debt relief to Greece.
"As we have said many times, even with full program implementation, Greece will not be able to restore debt sustainability and needs further debt relief from its European partners," IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde said in a statement. "A debt strategy anchored in more realistic assumptions needs to be agreed. I expect a plan to restore debt sustainability to be agreed soon between Greece and its European partners."
IMF officials estimate that, even if Greece carries out promised reforms, the nation's debt will reach about 150 percent of gross domestic product by 2030, and become "explosive" beyond that point. European creditors could bring the debt under control by extending grace periods, lengthening the maturity of the debt or deferring interest payments, the IMF said in a report accompanying the announcement.

Yes, Greece Can
July 19, 2017
Greece's hopes of returning to the debt markets after a three-year absence have been held up by one of its main creditors, the International Monetary Fund.
Under the strict conditions of its bailout, the country's debt burden is still too high to contemplate selling more debt, according to the IMF.
But there is a compromise option, which Greece should pursue.
The Hellenic Republic had been laying the groundwork to issue as much as 4 billion euros ($4.6 billion) in five-year bonds after repaying 6 billion euros of its existing debt this week. But the funds to pay down that debt came from the European Stability Mechanism, so Greece's overall debt hasn't been reduced, simply extended.
The IMF's opposition to issuing new debt doesn't stop Greece from shuffling its debt stack by lengthening maturities.

She says do anything, don't get in my matter, I don't have any brother, husband or family, I m lonely. She cries and rushes to her room.
Nandu tells Shanti that he did big mistake, I have shown big dreams to Preeti and broke it. Shanti says no, you have spoiled her, we should have got her on ground in time, this insult would have not happened. Nandu says I m feeling sad that Preeti's dreams did not come true, till I arrange my own house, I will stay here as Ghar Jamai, if you have no problem then…. She cries and says what problem will I have, stay. He goes. Kaushalya cries and says what shall we do of Preeti. Shanti and Kaushalya cry.

Fox News Responsible For This Messby RonChusid
The Washington Post reports that George Bush may have Fox News to thank for the 2000 election. They don't get into the manner in which Fox's premature call for Bush may have given the presumption of victory, but do look at Fox's effect on influencing voters:
Yes, suggest data collected by two economists who found that the growth of the Fox cable news network in the late 1990s may have significantly boosted the Republican Party's share of the vote in the 2000 election and delivered Florida to Bush.
"Our estimates imply that Fox News convinced 3 to 8 percent of its audience to shift its voting behavior towards the Republican Party, a sizable media persuasion effect," said Stefano DellaVigna of the University of California at Berkely and Ethan Kaplan of Stockholm University.
In Florida alone, they estimate, the Fox effect may have produced more than 10,000 additional votes for Bush — clearly a decisive factor in a state he carried by fewer than 600 votes.

Well, it's always nice when some group of scientist's verify what you already knew. Not that the folks who rejected our ideas will change their minds because some scientific evidence supports it. Those numbers lie (like the GOP?)
The analysis missed one aspect of the Democratic choices. It would have been hard for the test to be designed to look at this too, but the other explanation for the Democrats lack of loyalty to any one station is a lack of respect for the MSM in general. Yes, we are much more likely to get our news from more than one source, and we avoid FOX because we are fully aware that their journalism is lower than muckraking – not just because they provide news differing from our views.
Media Matters for America gives us the low down on how many of their stories contain outright lies and other false information. That's what we need to know about their 'news', not go there to waste time listening to it.
I keep wondering what kind of battle we will have to reign in the conglomerates and move back to independent media over infotainment. Perhaps the web will take care of some of that.
The analysis of choices of media is a bit simplistic. The question of whether someone is a news versus advocacy source (such as Fox) is a major issue.

Toronto, Ontario – Representatives of the Canadian Auto Workers Union (CAW) report that a closed-door meeting with General Motors CEO Rick Wagoner in Detroit did not sway the automaker's decision to close its truck plant in Oshawa, Ontario.
GM plans to close the plant in 2009, eliminating 2,600 jobs, with production relocated to facilities in the United States and Mexico.
"I can't accept the logic of GM's decision to close the Oshawa truck plant," said CAW president Buzz Hargrove. "Only two weeks ago we negotiated a new collective agreement with GM that outlined production continuing in the plant for many years. The market has not changed so much in two weeks to justify this outrageous decision by the company."
Members of the CAW say they will continue their blockade of GM of Canada's head office in Oshawa and will intensify it in the coming days. CAW national and local leadership and staff will meet following the CAW's Collective Bargaining and Political Action Convention this week in Toronto to strategize about the next steps in the union's efforts to have the plant remain open. Last week, J.D. Power and Associates said the Oshawa truck operation had one of the top quality ratings among plants in North and South America.

Aussie Millions Main Event and $250k Challenge in action
Thursday was a big day at the 2013 Aussie Million, as two of the biggest tournaments of the series were both in action: Day 3 of the Aussie Millions Main Event, and the $250k Challenge, the highest buy-in poker tournament in the world this side of the Big One for One Drop.
The $250k Challenge
Thed $250k Challenge tournament is now in its third year and attendance has been fairly consistent: with 20 participants in 2011 and 16 participants in 2012. The $250k Challenge attracted 14 entrants with four players deciding that $250k wasn't enough and rebuying into the tournament after being eliminated, Paul Phua, Andrew Robl, Gus Hansen, and Tony Bloom. Even with just two tables the tournament will award the biggest prize of the Aussie Millions tournament, with $2 million set aside for the winner, and a total of four places being paid:
* 1st place: $2,000,000
* 2nd place: $1,250,000
* 3rd place: $750,000
* 4th place: $500,000
Here is a look at the 16 players who entered the tournament:
1. Philipp Gruissem
2. Igor Kurganov
3. Richard Yong
4. Fabian Quoss
5. Sam Trickett
6. Tobias Reinkemeier
7. Winfred Yu
8. Paul Phua
9. Tony Bloom
10. Erik Seidel
11. Andrew Robl
12. Gus Hansen
13. Antonio Esfandiari
14. Jason Mercier
The Aussie Millions Main Event
At the same time the Aussie Millions Main Event was running, with the remaining players getting in a fairly short session as they played-down from the 68 players that began the day to the 36 players that will return on Day 4. Among the players who survived Day 3 were Phil Ivey, Patrick Antonius and Dan Shak, all three players being members of Team IveyPoker.com. Joining them on Day 4 will be Aussie James Obst, Brandon Adam, Lee Markholt, Jay Tan, Minh Nguyen, and Celina Lin.
Here is a look at the Top 10 Chip Counts heading into Day 4 of the Aussie Millions Main Event:
1. Ray Ellis — 1,044,000
2. Patrik Antonius — 957,000
3. Mervin Chan — 943,000
4. Ang Pangleng — 928,000
5. Jan Collado — 908,000
6. Brandon Adams — 739,000
7. David Yan — 696,000
8. James Obst — 660,000
9. Damian Baldi — 624,000
10. Shoshiro Karita — 608,000
Day 4 will see the field trimmed down to just 6 players and will see the tournament switch to a six-handed format –which will remain in place straight through the final table. So if the field thought today was a short day of play, tomorrow is likely to be extremely long as the remaining players go from 36 to 6.

I reviewed a game I never thought I would in my life.
By Pepsiman 8 Comments
If you've been checking up on my blog on this site since fairly early times, you just might recall that I was invited to beta test Shin Megami Tensei: Imagine, the series' arbitrary free-to-play MMO. I signed up for the program if only out of curiosity, as I'm not out and out opposed to the idea of Shin Megami Tensei MMO. The series has enough charm and unique features that, I think, could warrant a really interesting online game if put in the hands of the right team. Hell, there's even a Persona MMO in Japan for cell phones, of all things, and it still has Social Links! Two hours after firing up the game, though, I was done. Demon recruitment was even more botched than other games that did it poorly since it was random and required nothing more than mashing a talk command and hoping for the best, something which I didn't know I was supposed to do since the game lacked any actual explanation for it at the time. I left disgusted and when I fired up the game about two months ago for laughs for my roommates, I still hated it.
I thought I was done with the game for sure at that point.
But then my roommates started playing it since I was the one to interest them in Shin Megami Tensei in the first place and, lo and behold, against my better judgment, I started forming parties with them on an almost daily basis since their presence made the levelling up process slightly more bearable. It wasn't by a whole lot, but since the game almost punishes you for playing solo, it was certainly better than what had been going on before. Still, I had no real fun with the gameplay itself the entire time; all of the good memories I do have of that game stem from messing and joking around with a surprisingly jovial community. The game that encompasses it is still pretty bad.
All of this has resulted in a review of the game that I just posted here that sums up my sentiments about the time I've had with the game. The tl;dr version: There are way worse games you could be playing, but Imagine does such little justice to both what MMOs and Megami Tensei games are that it isn't worth your attention. I may still be compelled to go back and play a bit more because my roommates are hellbent on masochistically levelling up with my help, but again, if I'm going to have any fun, the gameplay isn't where it's going to be coming from.
The moral of the story: This is probably the most time I've spent playing a game I didn't like, let alone providing a review for it. That should probably be saying something, since this is coming from someone who spent so much time with Cheetahmen II that they started making cheat codes for it. That's a fair indicator of what little sanity I possess today, I'd say.

As part of preparing for the swim, I gathered a 'bag of tricks' with delicious treats that could be used if, and when, my world began to crumble. All of these treats: Moro bars, Chocolate Fish, Jet Planes and L&P (a lemon soda drink "world famous in New Zealand") brought back a flood of gloriously carefree memories of my childhood.
The plan was put good fuel in my "tank" for the majority of the swim using my carbohydrate drinks and only consider the 'bag of tricks' when things were falling apart AND I was close to shore.
7 hours into my swim, cracks began to show and my world was beginning to crumble. FAST. The excitement of the dolphin encounter was now a distant memory.
I could see land, and I knew I was close, really close, but it was difficult for me to gauge exactly just how close. The North Island seemed to take forever to appear just a little bit closer, and that was because it WAS taking forever. Pushing me away from land and out into the Pacific, the water current was nothing short of supernatural.
The water swirled furiously around me, like a washing machine, and I was just an old cotton shirt getting pushed and stretched during the wash cycle. It was relentless. Joe was no longer filming and taking photos. He and Philip were hanging on for dear life as their little inflatable boat got equally punished by the waves.
Breathing on my left exclusively, the choppy waves slapped against my face, and, unable to decipher a rhythm, I couldn't help but inhale the salty seawater. GALLONS of seawater came in through my nose and mouth. Infiltrated with water, my lungs began to rattle when I breathed, making it excruciatingly difficult to get enough oxygen as I swam.
I swam back to the boat. Winds were now gusting 30 knots and I could see Joe and Philip were soaking wet. I wasn't sure how I could continue. Philip told me I was going backwards. "At the last feeding, you were 3 kms from shore. Now you're 4 kms from shore." That meant, for the last 30 minutes I had made absolutely no progress. I could see my goal of finishing slip through my hands, and I was terrified. I was shocked and defeated. "SWIM!" urged Philip. "You're going to miss this last bit of land. You need to just swim!"
I put my head in the water and try concentrating on moving one arm at a time when suddenly the water feels like popcorn popping – mini explosions of water as the cold water surged up from the deep and met the shallower warmer water. This section of water, approximately 52 degrees, felt absolutely freezing. And, at that precise moment, the support beams of my world buckled, and down came the roof.
Again I swim back towards the boat. I was beginning to feel strange. Really strange. My ears were ringing, I was struggling to breathe, and I was concerned I might pass out. The water had been far too rough to continue with my regular feedings, and because I was so close to shore, Philip and Joe just wanted me to swim. But I desperately needed something.
Swimming up the boat, Philip immediately hands me a bottle of L&P. As I pour the soda in my mouth, my tongue tingles with delight. It was the most amazing thing I have ever tasted in my life. Amazing. "I bet that tastes really good, doesn't it girl," encouraged Philip.
I was a hostage and my captor had finally rewarded me for giving away my country's classified information. I imagined myself strapped to a wooden chair in a dark basement, hands bound behind me, mouth taped shut with duct tape, and sweat pouring down my forehead, soaking the blindfold. Lit only by the light filtering through the floorboards above me at this undisclosed, secret location, I was so grateful for the reward. I was relieved to think the pain was over. But it wasn't. Philip reached over the boat and snatched the soda from my frozen grasp.

Doss was drafted and ostracized by fellow soldiers for his pacifist stance but went on to earn respect and adoration for his bravery, selflessness and compassion after he risked his life -- without firing a shot -- to save 75 men in the Battle of Okinawa.

Oh, hi.
I was gone for a minute, but that's because I was busy having–and subsequently, trying not to kill–a baby.
This adorable, healthy little fart factory was born six days late at 7:30pm on November 27th by unplanned c-section.It's been three weeks since Chunker (as I like to damagingly call him) was untimely ripped from my womb, and I am just now finding the time to write about it. I've started–and then abruptly stopped–this entry so many times, mostly due to the following:
- abject laziness
- savage abdominal pain due to major surgery
- a once-every-three-hour feeding schedule
- bloodcurdling infant screams
- fecal explosions
- painful nipples
- leaking nipples
- urine trickling out of the back of a diaper and onto my lap
- sour milk spit-ups
- not showering
- taking a moment to neglect my two cats
- tears (mine)
- shovelling food into my mouth whilst hovering over the sink
- resisting the urge to throat punch every person who insists that breastfeeding is the most natural thing in the world
I feel I must warn you–if you were expecting an entry that gushes about how amazing being a new mom is, how rewarding parenting has been so far, and how absolutely adorable my baby is, you've stumbled across the wrong Mommy Blog.
This newborn shit is no joke.
I'd like to take this moment to assure all three of my subscribers that I don't have postpartum depression. So far, my infant is very much alive and relatively un-drowned in the bathtub. It's just that my life for the past 23 days has been the most sleep-deprived, unglamorous emotional blur, that I am unable to be anything but brutally honest.
So when a dear friend asked me the other day, "So are you loving being a mom?", I couldn't lie to her.
I couldn't reply, "Yes, I am loving every single feces-filled moment!"
I couldn't honestly respond by saying, "Absolutely. This is all so beautiful and natural–I was born to be a mommy!"
I couldn't look my beautiful, innocent friend in the eye and tell her, "I wouldn't trade these sleepless nights for anything in the world!"
Because I would. I would trade them so hard.Instead, I responded to her very simply–and because I'm too exhausted to be anything else but–I also responded to her very honestly.
Without skipping a beat, I looked her right in the eye and replied, "It's okay."
It's okay.
What kind of monster says that? Is there something wrong with me? Why couldn't I say "yes"?
I'm not sure what kind of response my friend was expecting, but if she was taken aback by my lack of enthusiasm, it didn't show (bless her heart). I felt guilty afterwards, wondering if perhaps I should have rehearsed a response that was a little more heartfelt and sentimental, though monumentally less sincere.
Don't get me wrong. There are moments–many, actually–where I am almost unable to handle how much I love this helpless, chubby little human. I will even admit that when it's just him and I alone, his sweet face has brought me to tears many times. Watching him grow and change over the past three weeks has been truly fascinating, and sometimes, I can hardly believe that he is mine.
Especially after a loss, I am so grateful for him. He is my rainbow, and I am so happy that he is here, and that he is healthy.
But I don't love when he screams and there's nothing I can do to make him stop.
I don't love how difficult it's been to simply feed him–a process that I naively thought was going to be the most easy, natural thing in the world. Spoiler alert: IT ISN'T.
I especially don't love the diapers, the spit-ups, the sleepless nights, and take-out for dinner four times a week.
So no, I'm not loving it.
But him–this dependent, squirmy little snore machine, this adorable tiny human that completely relies on me for literally everything 24 hours a day, 7 days a week–him I love.
And it will get better. And easier.
One day he will look at me and smile.
One day he will take his first steps, and say his first words.
And one day, someone will ask me again, are you loving being a mom?, and things won't be so new. I won't be as overwhelmed, sleep-deprived, or as flailing and fumbling as I am now. And while I know none of this will get any easier, I do know feeding will get better, sleep will come, and one day in the not-too-distant future, I will be less frustrated, less stressed, and much more confident.
Until then, kiddo. We'll figure this out together (and with a little help from wine!).

- Own a small business or manage part of a larger business?
- Want to grow your profits as fast as possible?
- Not a business graduate?
- Don't know where to start?
- Too time-poor to research how to do it?
There is a saying, "profit is a business person's applause".
Profit is a tangible way of measuring one's performance as a business owner/manager.
If you are reading this, you probably want more profit or "applause".
But there is an enormous amount of business knowledge and wisdom available to managers on the various aspects to boosting your profit. So much so, that it can be overwhelming.
Because there is far too much information around for a time poor manager to read and digest, so much that could grow the profit of your business gets left undone.
Profit Accelerator Academy (PAA) does the hard work on researching how to grow your profit and breaks it into a clear road-map for building profits. We distill out the enormous amount of available business wisdom into bite sized morsels that are quickly digested and implemented by managers to improve their profits.
Because you can select what you want, when you want it, we call this our Profit Accelerator of profit-building information.
Our Mission is to provide clear road-maps to growing your profits supported by a detailed, simple to follow, Profit Accelerator road-maps to profit. Our focus is to get you implementing these as quickly and as effectively as possible. Until your profits are growing, we have not succeeded!
Multi-track Road to Profit
Because people will learn and absorb information on how to quickly boost profits in different ways, we deliver knowledge to you via different channels so you can pick the one(s) that work for you.
1. Accelerator: a special collection of articles addressing the most common goal of for-profit businesses; how do I make more profit.
2. Knowledgebase: our collection of business wisdom distilled into "bite sized chunks" for easy study and application. You are most likely to use this to answer an immediate problem you have on your road to higher profits. You can Search by keyword or follow one of our Menus that suggest useful topics to read to speed up profit making.
Sample topics are:
- 16 times improvement in your productivity? See how focusing on one simple rule might lead you to this.
- Can my inventory management actually cost me money?
- How can a 1% increase in price give you a 20% improvement in profit?
- Can I really double my profit in 100 days?
- Want a free weekly email with the latest additions to the Knowledgebase? Register for Inside Track here.
3. Masterclass: designed for those who would like the satisfaction of completing a structured series of learning modules on subjects of interest. This is tailored to those who want to systematically expand their knowledge of management.
4. Support: It can be lonely out there being a manager. Often you can't discuss things with your staff and you may not want your boss to know you are a bit shaky on some topic. We have several avenues for you to ask questions of like minds and to build a network:
- Mentoring and Coaching: Would you like an experienced mentor or coach to help you untangle where to go next to improve your business?
- Q&A: use your public forums to float a question and get feedback and advice from others.
- Business networking: this space allows you to form and join groups of like minds to build your own network of business contacts.

I really liked this church design, as it looks very much like my church. However, I had to contact the owner in order to crop the church without any words while not losing the steeple. If it had been spaced further apart, I would have no problem. Very thankful Korin responded quickly, split them up and sent them to me separately. Not sure how other customers have handled it.

Volunteers are an essential aspect of the Catholic Church's mission; here at St. Ignatius, we are extremely grateful for everything our volunteers do for us each year. If you wish to volunteer with us, please look below for further instructions.
NOTE: If you are under 18, please contact Susanna Twining for information about your unique training experience.
The Archdiocese has adopted a new online system for registering all volunteers in the Archdiocese, called Shield the Vulnerable;. If you are not comfortable using the computer, contact Kelly Gibbons at 410-879-0959 for help.
For volunteers in ministries that do not involve substantial contact with children, the process takes about 15 minutes. First, go to www.shieldthevulnerable.com and register as a volunteer for St. Ignatius, Hickory. When asked to select an organization, choose "Catholic Dioceses" and then "Baltimore Archdiocese." When prompted, enter your contact information and create a login-ID and password. In response to the question about "affiliation," choose "volunteer without substantial contact." You are not required to undergo a criminal history screening or complete the safe environment training. Second, you will be given the opportunity to read the newly revised Code of Conduct for Church Personnel in the Archdiocese of Baltimore and Statement of Policy for the Protection of Children and Youth, after which you will be asked a few questions confirming your familiarity with them. That's all!
Providing a safe environment for the children of our parish has always been a high priority for St. Ignatius Parish. Thank you for your service to our Church, and thank you for your cooperation in complying with the child protection requirements. Volunteers in ministries involving children and volunteers between the ages of 14 and 18 are subject to additional requirements. Again, contact Kelly Gibbons at 410-879-0959 for more information.

The Girl With Hirsutism.How do you start something so personal? This feels like it should be entered in a very secure journal, under lock and key. But no. I'm writing this in cyber ink for the whole world to see! Well, how does that old saying go? Go big or go home. And oh boy do I feel like I'm going big. So here goes nothing....
I am the girl with hirsutism. At this present moment in time I do not want to put a name or face to the words. Maybe one day when I have the courage to. But right now, this is all I can manage. For those of you that have stumbled upon this page and are wondering what the fluff hirsutism is, it's excessive body hair, especially in females due to a hormone imbalance. This may not seem like such a great cause for concern for non sufferers, but for females with hirsutism? It's a cause for great mental stress. Especially in this present day where little body hair is air brushed on magazines and women have the freedom of less clothing. Ah yes, the girls that can go on the beach while rocking a bikini or even show off there midriff. How I envy them.
So now to start my story, which hopefully as its written will help other hirsutes. I am 19 years old and I've been living with hirsutism since I started puberty at 10. I'd been shaving my legs since 9, but I believe I was nearly 11 when I first took notice that my body hair was abnormal. I sat next to a boy in primary school who constantly pointed out the hair on my upper lip. I didn't take much notice of it as I'd seen other females with light upper lip hair. I believed my hair was just more noticeable because my hair's so dark and my skin was so white (was? I'm still daz white now!). Then one day in the summer my neighbour came around to play dress up. As young girls are we had no hangups about getting changed in front of one another. So as I pulled off my t-shirt my friend caught sight of my belly. In disgust she squealed 'eeeew! You have a hairy belly!!'. After 'laughing' it off I popped to the loo and took a proper look at myself in the mirror. In that mirror came the first feelings of disgust and humiliation, so I picked up the razor and shaved my midriff and upper lip. Since then it's all been down hill.
I've never told a single soul about my hirsutism. A SINGLE SOUL. Although of course people have noticed. When I was younger I didn't realise you could notice the dots left behind after shaving. It's not a shaving rash its just a black dot from where the root is. Yet when I was wax it's still there? Odd. Anyway I showed off my midriff a little when I was younger before I knew, when I was asked by my sister and grandma if I shaved my belly. It's hard to describe the embarrassment you get when you are asked that question. It goes right to the pit of your stomach. Or sometimes my friends point out the TINIEST blonde hairs on their midriff and ask me if I have any. I just laugh it away and never leave a reply.
Hirsutism hasn't just left me with a dark corse snail trail. Oh no. There's more! I have dark hair on my arms which reach mid bicep, upper lip, chin, cheeks, cheek bones, back, feet and in between my cleavage. The more dark thicker hair is from the hips down. The worst effected area is my inner thighs, behind my legs and my behind. I feel absolutely horrible about myself. I feel like a man! Or better yet, big foot. I want to have to not wake up, pluck my chin and shave my upper lip and cleavage. I want to be able to wear shorts or show my midriff. I don't want to cry over my body any more. I want to feel FEMININE again! So this is where it starts.
I'm going to stop hiding from it. Recently I've been researching about hirsutism and reading other sufferers stories. Every time I've read them they've made me cry in sadness and happiness. Sadness because I know EXACTLY how horrible they feel and happiness because I've realised I'm not the only one. I don't have to join the circus and become the bearded lady like I've always mused! I am going to nip this in the bud. I've been with my bf for 4 years now. How could I hide such a thing like this? From hardly ever letting him touch my bare skin in the affected areas unless I've gotten rid of the hair. Unfortunately waxing is too much for my whole body and shaving only lasts a day, 2 max. And I cant shave for nearly 3 weeks otherwise I get a rash. He must really love me! By the end of my journey I'd like him to be be able to freely touch my skin without me hiding. Like a normal couple! Step 1 in my journey is completed. Accept the fact I have it and share. It's odd how telling anonymous people is easier. I think I might finally tell one person by showing them this website too! That really is a scary thought for me. Now step 2? I am finally going to get over my embarrassment and go to the doctors to get help. I will keep posted once I have and share my next steps. I'm also going to start testing out what works for me and hopefully it will give other sufferers help. We just need to keep in mind that we aren't alone and....it's not our fault. We aren't disgusting, it's just our bodies have a hormone imbalance. That Is going to be my new mantra! If anyone else has decided to take action too keep me posted! :).
-The girl with hirsutism.
Thanks for sharing, I am a man who likes hairy women. Its an odd thing as its not a choice its what I am attracted to. In the same way people are drawn to eye colour, I am attracted to body hair. I often feel that something is wrong with me, but deep down I know this is me as well.
hello friend,
I am sorry you have this condition. Please realize that you are loved by the Most High God and your value isn't based on this condition. No matter what your hormones are doing, you are still precious and valued. The only thing I can suggest is googling hirsutism along with herbs or holistic treatment and see if there is some herb that can control it. I read somewhere that there is an herb that can help. I can't remember. Black cohosh is one of them. Google herbs for hirsutism. If you can afford it I would recommend seeing a holistic nutritionist. There is a machine called biomeridian. It measures the imbalances in the body and recommends specific herbs and supplements to bring it back into balance. Perhaps you can find a nutritionist in your area.
Be blessed my friend. It doesn't have to run your life. People who know you will love you for the right reasons.
feel the same way as you do.
Well yours is blonde, while mine is blonde, what worse can you get?
I'm hoping for a hairlaser removal, what about you?
black cohosh is supposed to help counteract the the hormone that produces the body hair.
i love hairy women,facial hair and all.i thing they are very beautiful and exotic.i know other men that feel the same way.they are not very pen about it because the trend in this country.in the 60's and 70's it was common.these days women can have have tattoos piercings shaved heads.but it is a no no to have a body or facial hair.other women even police it.so now women all look alike, like little girls or like barbies.it is so refreshing to feel and touch body hair than just skin.many women feel like they are the only ones,because other women are so good at covering it up etc.please feel good about yourself. you are very special.
thanks for sharing your story. very good idea to talk with a doctor - there may be some hormonal imbalance that can be addressed via medicine etc.
however.... i have been to some really insensitive doctors that put me in a huge depressive tailspin since this is such a sensitive topic for me. so be aware that may be the case. but if the first one you talk to is a real *sshole, don't despair. there are great doctors out there who are able to deal with this condition in a respectful manner. i now have seen multiple that are great.
keep us posted and kudos for your bravery :)
Hi, I know exactly how you feel. I have been suffering since I was 16. I have been to the doctors and they can't figure out why I'm hairy. My hormone levels where all within normal range. I am a mother to 5 and have been married for a long time I'm 33. I hope you find your answer to your hirsutism. I'm thinking of getting laser hair removal, so my razor doesn't have to be my BFF! Good luck to you and I wish you the best of luck!
I love real people. You are one!

Four hundred years after he wrote them, we still use in everyday speech the many words and phrases Shakespeare coined. He gave us so many, it would be difficult, if not impossible, to list them all here.
But two words he wrote have stopped us dead: prenzie and scamels. What do they mean?
Were they more of his 1,700-plus famous neologisms like accommodation, castigate, frugal, inauspicious, premeditated and sanctimonious?* If so, no one today knows for sure what prenzie and scamels refer to.
Or were they transcription errors? The typesetter or copyist reading from a crabbed, handwritten manuscript and spelling out for the folio something he couldn't quite understand?
Scamels are something – possibly a sea creature or shore bird – collected for food. It's a hapax legomenon – a word that only appears once in the entire canon of Shakespeare's works. In The Tempest, Act II, Sc. II, Caliban says to Trinculo:
I prithee let me bring thee where crabs grow;
And I with my long nails will dig thee pig-nuts,
Show thee a jay's nest, and instruct thee how
To snare the nimble marmoset. I'll bring thee
To clust'ring filberts, and sometimes I'll get thee
Young scamels from the rock.
Could someone have written but smudged 'seagull' and the typesetter not been able to make out the letters correctly? Or written scams – an archaic nickname for limpets? Neither sound very appealling for a meal.

We are very excited to join GoodWeave in the Social Entrepreneurs Challenge!
Along the carpet belt of South Asia, an estimated 250,000 children are exploited and trafficked to make rugs that end up in high-end showrooms.
GoodWeave, an organization we have partnered with for years, is a leader in the movement to end child labor.
Between now and December 5, the Skoll Foundation is offering up to $3 million in matching funds to be divided among participating organizations as part of the Social Entrepreneurs Challenge.
GoodWeave's work is motivated by stories of children like Sanju. Forced to work in a carpet factory for 16 hours a day without breaks, she would still be there if GoodWeave hadn't rescued her and provided ongoing rehabilitation and education. Today, Sanju has been reunited with her parents and they couldn't be more proud that she is the first person in their family to go to school.
GoodWeave believes that children belong in classrooms, not toiling on carpet looms.
Our team goal is to raise $50,000 that could be then matched up to another $50,000 by the Skoll Foundation. These funds could go a long way toward helping to end child labor in the rug industry and maintain the high standards to which we are committed.
Please join GoodWeave in the effort to provide a brighter future for vulnerbale children and end child slavery in the rug industry.
Thanks in advance for helping ALT for Living and GoodWeave RISE to the challenge!
Click here to visit our page and give between October 27th and December 5th!

Tour de El Salvador
Today is our tourism day. We take a break from camp and go with some of our partners to
explore the country! We got up and had breakfast at the missionary hostel and hit the road on our big yellow school bus.
We stopped and took some pictures near three volcanos and loaded back up to head to the beach! At the beach we will eat lunch and get some time to play and relax. After the beach, we are going to a shopping center and then back to the hostel.
Tomorrow we will start our second session of camp with campers ranging from about 8-12 years old. Please be praying for energy and renewed strength for our team as we prepare to start over with new staff and campers. It will be a quick transition as we return to camp at the same time as the second group of campers and staff and start camp as soon as we arrive. We are so excited to work with younger kids and continue to share our philosophy and mission of Christian camping. While we are all indescribably grateful for Pine Cove and all that it has done for each of us, we know that our camp would be nothing apart from God's work in everything. We pray that God would continue to work and have His hand in all that we do and say so that His name will be made known. Thanks for following our trip, keep following our adventure, we aren't done here just yet!
