The Brussels blackmail scheme, and the ensuing forced parliamentary vote on the ESM and Fiscal Pact obviously has been too much. Even CDU faction leader Kauder yesterday had to admit in an interview with Süddeutsche Zeitung, that the vote last Friday almost did not take place, because many CDU parliamentarians were so angry about being left in the dark about what had been decided at the EU "summit" the night before. Today, just as one indication, the CDU spokesman for European policy Michael Stübgen, told Reuters, speaking of the upcoming decisions on bailouts for Spanish banks: "I think we are getting towards the end of what the Parliament and the Bundesrat are willing to accept." And anger is growing in the FDP faction, because of the unclear conditions on assistance for Cyprus, or rather its banks.
On July 5, Prof. Hans-Werner Sinn, president of the Munich IFO Institute and 172 German economists, so far, issued an "Appeal" to their fellow citizens, against the yawning pit of further bank bailouts. Among the first signers were such "heavyweights" as Prof. Klaus Zimmermann, former head of the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW) and Freiburg economist Prof. Bernd Raffelhüschen. Dortmund Statistics Prof. Walter Krämer and Prof. Sinn put together the appeal after the Brussels summit. Krämer said they both got so angry about the decisions that they decided to act, and that the "famous straw that broke the camel's back," was the planned banking union.
The appeal does not call for Glass-Steagall, but focuses very effectively on the bailout of the banks. It is crafted in an unusually non-academic way, directly addressed to fellow-citizens, who are called upon to mobilize their political representatives. Merkel was "forced" into the Brussels decisions, they say in the beginning. In unheard-of language among German academics, the appeal says that the planned banking union will only "help Wall Street, the City of London — also some investors in Germany — and a bunch of domestic and foreign banks." They "thus can continue their business at the expense of citizens in other countries, who have little to do with this."
The step into the banking union means "collective liability for the debts of the eurosystem." "Bank debts are almost three times as large as the sovereign debt and, in the five crisis countries, are in the range of several trillion euros." Taxpayers, pensioners, and depositors of the still solid countries "cannot be held liable for covering these losses." "Banks must be allowed to fail. If the debtors cannot pay back, there is only one group which should shoulder these burdens and also is able to do so: The creditors themselves, since they embarked on the investment risk consciously, and it is they alone, who have the necessary wealth."
This intervention, in an already completely nervous situation after the Brussels summit fiasco and before the upcoming Constitutional Court hearing on July 10, has triggered a huge debate, with other economists lining up against it, Finance Minister Wolfgang Schäuble attacking it as baseless "scaremongering," the Greens denouncing the professors as "cracker-barrel" economists, and Sarah Wagenknecht of "Die Linke" supporting it, along with people from other parties. Spiegel carried a headline last night, wondering about all the "new alliances" pro and con, with the (hypocritical) headline "Finally Ideas Count, Instead of Ideologies."
The tremendous anger and ferment against the EU policies of growing bailouts, without any clear rules or limitations, can no longer be swept under the carpet. The worst thing that leading politicians can do now, writes Süddeutsche Zeitung Economics Editor Marc Beise today, is to attack opponents of the ESM and banking union and try to suppress the debate, as Schäuble is doing, because the euro has been "a project of the elite" for so long, and any politician who tries to suppress discussion instead of defending his view, is making "a gigantic mistake."
Among those who want to suppress discussion are Dennis Snower, of the Kiel Institute for World Economy, and Beatrice di Weber Mauro (one of the wise (wo)men, the government's top economic advisors, until 2012, now on the board of UBS), who were able to muster a group of 15 (!) economists against this appeal. They defend a European banking union, based on a centralized banking restructuring and recapitalization fund, with the ESM playing the lead role, and strengthened European deposit insurance. And all of this supposedly with almost no cost to the taxpayer!
The government, and in particular Finance Minister Schäuble was not amused at all, attacking the economists for their "alarmism." He denied flat-out, that the ESM and its follow-up decisions in Brussels mean the take-over of liabilities of European banks.
Other institutions, such as the German government's Advisory Council "Sachverständigenrat" came out rejecting the ESM's direct bailout of banks, due to inefficient control mechanisms, also rejecting a "hasty banking union." Their recommendation is, however, equally stupid: a debt redemption pact,— and they announce a legal paper on that subject to be published soon.
Speaking of a banking union: Now, Deutsche Bank is officially being investigated by the BaFin for its possible role in manipulating the LIBOR.
The genie cannot be put back into the bottle. The system is dead, and that's what people realize. The next step now is to put the Glass-Steagall question squarely on the table in Germany. The debate in the U.K., ironically, is now helping to push this forward. With Helga Zepp-LaRouche and Jacques Cheminade's webcast tomorrow on the real growth perspective and the international Appeal for Glass-Steagall available on the website, the BüSo is taking crucial leadership on the right steps which have to be taken now, along with allies internationally.

Simao seeks home comforts
Simao feels it is imperative Atletico Madrid take a positive result from their home date with Liverpool.
By Francisco Acedo
Last Updated: 22/04/10 11:03am
Simao feels it is imperative Atletico Madrid take a positive result from their home date with Liverpool.
The Spaniards welcome the Reds to Vicente Calderon on Thursday in the first leg of their Europa League semi-final.
Both sides feel they are equipped to go on and take the crown, but know they will need to be at their best to safely negotiate a route through the last four.
The tie could rest on who produces the best performance in front of their own supporters, with Simao fully aware that Atletico need to make the most of the advantage they hold heading into the first meeting.
"These games against Liverpool will not be easy and I expect two tough matches between two evenly matched sides," the Portuguese playmaker told skysports.com.
"I think the tie will be settled on the smallest details.
"For us the main objective is to score at home and to give ourselves a chance in England.
"The tie will ultimately be settled at Anfield, but we need to make sure we arrive there with an opportunity to progress."
Simao believes neither side will be able to spring a surprise on their rivals, as they are two of the biggest clubs on the continent, and appreciates that both will be desperate to put their domestic failings behind them in the pursuit of European glory.
He added: "The key to this match will be to force the play and to dominate possession, only then will we get the chance to test (Jose) Reina.
"Atletico and Liverpool are two teams that need no introduction and the surprise factor is discarded at the semi-final stage.
"I don't think Liverpool's problems in the league will make any difference either, because we have suffered the same thing.
"We have not been able to transfer our form in the cups into the Primera Liga and that is disappointing for our supporters.
"Our fans dream of titles and it is vital we give our all over the course of these 180 minutes to make sure we reach the final."

Juan Mata and Robin van Persie make David Moyes feel at home again
Manchester United 2 Cardiff City 0
It was hard to escape the impression of the cavalry coming to the rescue at Old Trafford last night. Juan Mata made an enterprising debut that offered a tantalising glimpse of things to come, Robin van Persie scored within six minutes of his first start for seven weeks and Wayne Rooney flickered with intent on his own long-awaited return to action after injury.
United were not brilliant by any means against Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's spirited, if limited, Cardiff City, but they won relatively comfortably and perhaps that is the point. Without Van Persie, Rooney and a player of Mata's craft and cleverness, the Barclays Premier League champions have found the going painfully tough in recent weeks.

Loony Lehmann and the curse of Hertha
It's that time of year again when any self-respecting columnist suddenly feels an innate urge to look back at the past 365 days of domestic football and make sweeping generalisations, saying it was a great year or a terrible year or a thrilling year or a boring year.
As usual, the year was all of this - and more. It was also quite often puzzling.
There surely weren't too many people 12 months ago who predicted that Hertha would almost win the title and then make history by producing what is the most abysmal pre-winter break performance by a proper Bundesliga club ever.
And while there will have been quite a few people who predicted that Jens Lehmann would make headlines with the odd bizarre stunt, I doubt they had any idea how bizarre those stunts would be.
Just take the already legendary and oft-discussed but still mysterious incident from Stuttgart's game with Unirea Urziceni, when Lehmann left the pitch ten minutes from time to hide, if that's the word, behind an advertising hoarding to do whatever it was he felt needed to be done there.
I'm sure you've all seen the clips on YouTube and have debated them one way or another. What I missed in most every debate I have seen or heard is how utterly inexplicable Lehmann's act was and is.
I mean, the fact remains that he still hasn't said what he was doing there. A week before Christmas, Lehmann appeared on television and sort of hinted (no matter what you've read, it wasn't more than a hint) that he had been readjusting his jockstrap.
Now, if you've ever worn such a thing - and I have, though not at football - you know that you don't have to leave the field of play, climb over an ad board and cower down in order to adjust a jockstrap. This is not a chastity belt or whatever sophisticated, complicated gadget could be covering that region of the body. And even if you're not the most dexterous person, which I hope is a rare weakness among goalkeepers, all you have to do is call for a timeout which a referee has to grant you if there's something wrong with your kit.
The same, of course, goes for the other, more widespread explanation that's been brought forth, namely that Lehmann was simply relieving himself. "Simply"? What is simple about leaving the pitch without notifying the referee, which constitutes a bookable offence, and then going down on your haunches in plain view of tens of thousands of people, not to mention cameras?
The simple thing would have been to ask the referee for what in tennis is called a "toilet break". Since a game cannot be started or restarted without both keepers between the sticks, Lehmann would have been granted such a break instantly.
Finally, there was always the option of doing it the time-honoured way, namely on the job. Many sportsmen, from rugby players to cyclists, handle urinary urgencies thus - and a football goalkeeper has the added advantage of being able to wait until action has switched to the other end. What's more, he can cover up what he's doing by kneeling down and pretending to tie his shoelaces. No problem whatsover.
Take former Argentina keeper Sergio Goycochea, who urinated on the pitch prior to the penalty shoot-out against Yugoslavia at the 1990 World Cup. (And when Argentina then won this game, turned an emergency into a habit. "I did it before every shoot-out", the keeper told the Guardian in 2007. "It was my lucky charm.") So why did Lehmann have to leave the pitch and draw all this attention to what should have been no big deal? It remains a mystery.
As much of a mystery, some might say, as Hertha Berlin's most recent fate. After the first half of the season, the team's record stands at one win, three draws and 13 losses for a grand total of six points. Almost everybody says this is the worst showing since poor Tasmania Berlin managed only one win and one draw in their first 17 games, back when The Beatles released We Can Work It Out.
But I'm afraid we can't let Hertha off the hook that easily. Yes, Tasmania were as awful as awful can be. But the only reason they were in the Bundesliga at all in their annus horribilis, 1965-66, is because none other than Hertha had their license revoked (for illegal payments to players) and the German FA wanted Berlin represented in the Bundesliga for political reasons. SV Spandau had the good sense to decline the offer of taking Hertha's place, but Tasmania - who would've never have won promotion on the pitch - said yes and suffered accordingly.
If we only look at the records of teams that truly belonged among the best in the country because they had earned the right to be there on the pitch, then Hertha are, so far, the worst we've ever seen. The only team that comes close was, strangely, also from Berlin. In 1974-75, Tennis Borussia won two, drew one and lost 14 in the first half of the season. (Good for seven points under the new rules, five under the old. Their goal difference was better than Hertha's, though.)
At first glance, Hertha's performance seems inexplicable, given that this is a side that challenged for the 2008-09 title until the last week of the season, which was just seven months ago. Even the loss of their two best strikers, Marko Pantelic and Andriy Voronin, can't explain such a drastic turnaround. So maybe Hertha are jinxed, cursed for a wrongdoing we have yet to discover?
No. Even teams that are cursed don't have games like Hertha did against Hamburg in October. That, you may recall, was the day when the team scored an own goal, then lost their third keeper of the season to injury, then conceded two goals within 87 seconds when the new man between the sticks twice cleared a situation outside the penalty area with his head, only to be lobbed twice, from 30 and 40 yards, respectively.
Such mishaps can only be explained by a force stronger than curses. And those among us who've watched a few episodes of Lost know what force that is. It's the numbers.
Some of you may remember the column about Hertha in March. It mentioned that Hertha frustrated opponents by (often) winning for no apparent reason. Well, this season Hertha are frustrated because they (often) lose for no apparent reason. If you don't mind a baseball analogy, if there's a .275 hitter who suddenly bats over .400 from April to July, it doesn't mean he's the new Ted Williams. It means he'll bat only .150 the rest of the season.
To transfer this line of thinking to football, if you take Hertha's results in the whole of 2009, from January to December, you end up with 38 points from 34 games - a mid- to lower-table finish and acceptable for the kind of squad they have.
By the same token, if your run in 2009 has been below par, don't worry - the numbers will even out and 2010 is going to be cracking. If, however, your 2009 performance was excellent ... well, you don't really believe that numbers nonsense, do you? Happy New Year!

One-fifth of species face extinction: study
A major report on the world's threatened wildlife says around 50 species of mammals, birds and amphibians are moving closer to extinction every year.
The study, known as the Red List of Threatened Species, has been published by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and released during a biodiversity conference in Japan.
The list provides the most comprehensive evidence yet about the pressure modern humanity is putting on the natural world.
Around 25,000 species have been assessed and one-fifth of them are threatened with extinction.
It shows amphibians are declining at the fastest rate, while birds are doing best.
But for the first time there is evidence that on a global scale, conservation projects are making a discernible difference.
Conservationists say the key is to learn from this and put more money into programs which can return depleted species to their former health.
Dr Simon Stuart from the International Union for Conservation of Nature says a number of species are recovering.
"In Africa, we found that 10 per cent of the near-threatened and threatened species either have stable or increasing populations," he said.
"A great example is the white rhinoceros. So we can show for sure that when we focus conservation efforts and really address the threats and put enough money into it, then you see positive results."
The Federal Government has released a 10-point biodiversity plan to protect Australia's most vulnerable plants and animals, delivering a range of targets for 2015, including adding another 600,000 square kilometres of land and water as conservation zones.
But Alexia Wellbelove from Humane Society International says the targets are not ambitious enough and the Government needs to commit more if the goals are to be achieved.
"Without a significant increase in funding, the strategy won't be able to be achieved with the current lack of funding for biodiversity," she said.
"We really aren't going to get progress made on this issue so what Humane Society International is calling for is significant increase in funds.
"We need specific government officials responsible for delivering this strategy and we look forward to receiving more detail on this."

SEAL BEACH >> Police officers are seeking the public's help in finding whomever spray-painted swastikas and other graffiti on a spa's window and along a nearby sidewalk.
The vandals also busted two side windows at Massage Envy at 12340 Seal Beach Blvd., Seal Beach police Sgt. Phil Gonshak said.
Damages to the spa's property totaled more than $1,500, but no one entered the business and nothing was stolen, Gonshak said.
"It was a big surprise; this area is very usually safe," said April Dinh, who works at Happy Nails and Spa, which is adjacent to Massage Envy.
Massage Envy, which provides therapeutic massage and spa services to members and guests, is located in The Shops at Rossmoor, an outdoor retail center.
"We have no history of threats or violence to this business, so we are considering it a random incident," Gonshak said.
Massage Envy employees had wrapped up a Halloween party shortly before 10 p.m. Saturday, and the crime occurred between then and 9 a.m. Sunday, he said.
Two swastikas and the phrase "happy ending" were spray-painted on a sidewalk in front of the spa. Another swastika and the phrase "White PPiDS" was marked on the spa's front window.
"At this point, we have no idea what that means," said Gonshak, referring to "White PPiDS."
He said he suspected it had something to do with white supremacy.
Authorities said the incident does not meet the California Penal Code requirements of a hate crime because it did not target a protected class, such as gender, religion, race and sexual orientation.
The vandalism was discovered by Massage Envy employees on Sunday when they were arrived to work.
The Seal Beach location is owned by a local franchisee whose management team is assisting police in their investigation, according to a statement from Massage Envy's corporate office in Scottsdale, Ariz.
Massage Envy employees at the Seal Beach location refused comment and referred calls to the corporate office.
The spa was closed Sunday for the investigation and normal operating hours resumed Monday.
Anyone with information about this incident can call Seal Beach Police Department at 562-799-4100, Ext. 1109.

When we found out that former '80s mainstay C. Thomas Howell would have a role in Marc Webb's upcoming reboot of the "Spider-Man" franchise, the Interwebs were all in wondering just what role he would be playing, and if it would be the career-changer that he was probably hoping for. Probably not, as it turns out.
According to EW, Howell's rep claims the actor will be playing someone named "Ray" in the movie. Yeah, not exactly a whole lot to go on there. I'm guessing it's a cameo, or a small background role, or else the "rep" might have been a little more forthcoming in order to hype up his client's return to A-list moviemaking and all. EW speculates that the character could be "Ray Cooper, the supposedly deceased father of Spidey's current comic book girlfriend Carlie."
Anyways, so there you have it. C. Thomas Howell will be playing "Ray" in the Spidey reboot. Mystery (sorta) solved.
Marc Webb's film, starring Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker and Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy, reboots July 3, 2012.

By now, you've probably dissected yesterday's trade between the Padres and Reds, the biggest of the offseason. And you might have banged your head against the wall a few times.
The Padres shipped starter Mat Latos to the Reds for starter Edwin Volquez, first baseman Yonder Alonso, catcher Yasmani Grandal and pitcher Brad Boxberger.
That's quite a haul for the Padres, who now have Alonso and Triple-A first baseman Anthony Rizzo, acquired from the Red Sox in December 2010 as part of the Adrian Gonzalez trade.
it must be nice to have enough minor league depth to pull off that kind of a deal. Think the Orioles could have offered a similar package for Latos? Think the Orioles have someone like Latos that could bring them that package?
Latos has his faults - he regressed a bit this year and his maturity has come into question - but he's made 31 starts in each of the last two seasons. He was 14-10 with a 2.92 ERA, 50 walks and 189 strikeouts in 184 2/3 innings and placed eighth in the National League's Cy Young voting in 2010. He went 9-14 with a 3.47 ERA, 62 walks and 185 strikeouts in 194 1/3 innings this year.
Latos is only 24 and isn't arbitration-eligible until 2013. He's also a former 11th-round draft pick.
Drafting and development. It can pay dividends if done properly.
In return for Latos, the Padres get a starter, first baseman, catching prospect and pitcher who can start or relieve and is projected by some to be a future closer. Alonso, Grandal and Boxberger are former first-round picks.
The Orioles simply can't compete at this point.
There's talk that the Padres could deal Rizzo or flip Alonso, who isn't suited to play the outfield at Petco Park. The Cubs reportedly could be a match, which would take them out of the Prince Fielder sweepstakes.
The market for Fielder could be growing smaller. Intrigued?
Anyway, according to another report, the Padres might make a run at Cubs starter Matt Garza.
The Orioles could use a starter like Garza, but what the heck do they have to offer if some of their best bargaining chips are off the table?
Building depth takes time. It's just unfortunate that the Orioles aren't farther along in the process.

"I like men who are very cool but who are also so brilliant that they are almost insane. Sean Penn, Gary Oldman, Bob Dylan, Tom Waits - men who would be flipping burgers if they hadn't found an outlet for their brilliant mind-sets. I also like men who have hands with big masculine veins that you can squish and move."
"Surfing is such an amazing concept. You're taking on Nature with a little stick and saying, 'I'm gonna ride you!' And a lot of times Nature says, 'No you're not!' and crashes you to the bottom."
"I was an acidhead and a pot smoker. There was this one time some friends and I were ditching off campus at lunch. We didn't make it back in time, and school officials found us smoking weed in a van around the corner. I was so stoned that when they started taking names and I said mine was April June. It didn't even dawn on me that that was just two months put together."
"The best sex is being with somebody who you know that you know that you know that you know that you know loves you. You know?"
"The thing I was attracted to as a little girl was Kirk, Bones and Spock, and their utter loyalty. There's nothing more powerful than that."
"I firmly believe in what Stephen Hawking says - that if we don't get off this planet, we're going to go berserk. We have to have more space. And maybe that'll mean that we multiply and just destroy another planet. But you know what? That's mankind. Get used to it. We're not going to change."

The corporation is fundamentally different from other types of
businesses. Instead of having a distinct owner, a corporation is owned by at least
one shareholder and run by the shareholders and at least one director. Because
the corporation itself is considered a legally separate entity from the
shareholders, the shareholders generally cannot be held personally responsible
for the actions of the corporation. The other big advantage is that the
corporate structure generally makes it easier to raise money. However, it is
much more expensive and complicated to set up and manage a corporation. The
other disadvantage is that corporate profits currently are generally taxed
twice: once at the corporate level and once at the personal level (there
is currently legislation in Congress that could affect this—check with an
accountant for latest laws). Because this type of structure has so many
implications, it is strongly recommended you consult an attorney and an
accountant before incorporating.
There are two types of corporations, the regular C-Corporation and the
S-Corporation. Unlike a C-Corporation where earnings are currently generally
taxed at both the corporate and individual levels, earnings at an S-Corporation
flow through to the individual and are only taxed at the individual shareholder
level. In other words, if, as the owner of the business, you are the only
shareholder, all earnings your S-Corporation makes will be taxed at your
personal income tax rate. You can avoid being doubly taxed. On the downside,
S-Corporations are limited to a smaller number of shareholders. If you want a
structure that better supports large numbers of shareholders, you're
better off organizing as a C-Corporation. It is strongly recommended that you
consult an attorney or tax advisor before organizing an S-Corporation.

The shelter I work with has some boy with boy pairs, and I know two boys can definitely get along, but I have heard that it takes a bit longer than with girl to boy pairs. Also, be very prepared for all of their first meetings, because the first time I introduced my two boys, they got in a scuffle (only person that got wounded though was my BF haha). I know there are lots of tips online for bonding bunnies, and I would def. read all of those so that you are prepared!!
Good luck !
My advice is goooo slowwww! Introduce in only a very neutral territory. Even the bathtub (with a towel on the bottom) if you have to.
Check out the bonding tips page of this site. http://www.binkybunny.com/BUNNYINFO...fault.aspx
Keep us updated!

'Above all, this is a strong recording of a talented organist and a fine instrument. Do not listen expecting to hear Wagner's music performed like a symphony orchestra. With the vast recorded output of Wagner's works, even the most orchestral-inspired organs fail to capture the sounds of symphony orchestras. But the works on this record are most enjoyable on their own terms as part of a living tradition of organ transcription and performance, and not as imitations of the original.' American Record Guide July 2014
Released for the Wagner bicentenary in May 2013, the first disc by a British organist entirely devoted to Wagner, and a major contribution to the small discography of Wagner transcriptions for a solo instrument.

The Mentalist returned from its Presidential Debate induced hiatus with only a slight dip in viewership. It's still too early to tell if audiences enjoy the writing or if they're just disarmed by Simon Baker's dashing smile. Maybe they've just discovered a great new drinking game. Everytime Baker's accent slips back to his Aussie roots, take a drink. Anytime he's not wearing a vest, take two.
NBC continued its no-show status in the top ten. The much hyped Crusoe floundered in its less-than-coveted Friday night spot, failing to make even the lowest spot in the top ten. If you missed it, you didn't miss much. Think Pirates of the Carribean with less special effects and a Friday that spends more time running across the screen than Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible 3.

Dina Plapler, vice president for development at the Health Center, was recently rummaging through items at a yard sale when she came across a UConn newspaper – The Connecticut Campus – dated April 11, 1930. UConn was then known as Connecticut Agricultural College and the paper was a sort of amalgam of what is now the Daily Campus and UConn Today – written by both students and faculty.
Dina said she thought I'd find it interesting and sent it my way – she was right. As much as anything, it's fascinating to see how far we've come in 82 years – not all that long, as universities go – growing from a small agricultural school to one of the best public research universities in the nation.
In April 1930, Herbert Hoover was President of the United States, the stock market had crashed only a few months before – heralding the onset of the Great Depression – World War I had only ended 12 years earlier, our current president would not be born for another three decades, and women had only been able to vote for 10 years.
Actually, the fact that women were attending the college was apparently still a fresh issue in people's minds: under the headline "Admitting Women to Storrs School Makes Period of Growth," a history professor recalls a battle on the floor of the state legislature in the 1890s, after the college first began admitting women. After recalling that a legislator had decried the idea of women at the college, the professor went on to write of the response:
"But the very next day, John L. Saxe of Waterbury, pointed out before the House how fitting and necessary it was that the farmer's wife should be able to help the farmer" – remember, it's an agricultural school in the 1890s – "in his work. 'Surely', he added 'no one will attempt to degrade womanhood, when she stands side by side with her husband whom she has chosen to support.' Following this statement the House roared in laughter."
I suppose that's a little amusing. The story is accompanied by an old photo (even then) of female students working outdoors with a caption reading: "Equality Seekers."
Women took courses for the first time in Storrs in 1891, and the college saw its first female graduates in 1893. Today, of course, women make up a little more than half of our student population.
Another headline reads: "Efficiency is Aim of New College Policy by Dr. Works" (its then-president). This is a good example of "the more things change, the more they stay the same." The UConn of 2012 is fresh off an engagement with McKinsey and Co. designed to save tens of millions over a period of years – in the name of efficiency.
The paper's editorial also complains that students are not using their time wisely enough during breaks – choosing to stay up late "prowling around the countryside" instead of devoting themselves to their studies. This also has a familiar ring to it.
In lighter news, in recent years, it wasn't all that unusual to walk around campus and see the occasional student sporting an animal tail hanging out of the back of their pants. As odd as that was, it turns out this sort of thing was not novel: as part of "Junior Week," running from May 8 to 10, 1930, the paper notes that "five freshman co-eds were to be seen walking around the campus and through the various buildings backwards with yellow ribbons and streamers flowing down their back and around their heads, arms and feet." They were apparently being initiated into what was known as "The Exalted Order of Ground Hogs." The names of those being inducted into this unfortunately-named organization were then noted for posterity.
The most amusing content – actually a trigger for eye-rolling – is the "risqué" jokes listed on the humor page. They include the following (note that students of the time called themselves "Aggies"):
Aggie – Do you believe in the hereafter?
Co-ed – Why, certainly.
Aggie – Well, how about a little necking; that's what I'm here after.
Co-ed – Isn't the moon beautiful?
Aggie – I'm in no position to say.
Finally, a note of pride: though a small agricultural school, the Connecticut Agricultural College was already home to distinction – front-page stories note that the Registrar was departing for a fellowship at Stanford University and a faculty member had been awarded a University of Chicago fellowship. These are two of the great schools we interact and collaborate with now. My takeaway: UConn has always been home to great faculty.
I would urge the students, faculty, and staff of today's UConn to make it a point to go to the Homer Babbidge Library to peruse their vast collection of historic papers, such as this one. It's a look into a distant past that helps us truly appreciate how far we've come and who we are today.

Who will replace Gary Kirsten?
This particular Indian team now is starting to find that they are quite enjoying the habit of winning - Kirsten
Gary Kirsten commands the kind of respect few Indian coaches did in the past. Manning the cricket team is a lot tougher job than handling finance ministry in India. Mr. Pranab Mukherjee might agree to this. However, the South African maverick has managed to perform his duties with maximum ease and greater results. His departure after the 2011 World Cup is inevitable as Gary wants to spend time with his family back in South Africa. Fair enough!
Since joining the Indian camp in 2007-08, the former Proteas opener helped the team to achieve the elusive number one position in Test cricket. You can still argue Gary got the best of the Indian team for the desired result.
He didn't come with a plan. He offered what worked for the Indians. And yeah...he lacked the Chappell-like love-affair with spotlight - much to the benefit of the playing group.
I remember Sehwag singing praise that, "It was Gary who gave me tremendous confidence. He told me, you are such a talented player. Even if you are out for three ducks, you will be there in the team. You should not put yourself under pressure. He asked me to play freely." Kirsten didn't do anything extraordinary, just brought the best out of the players.
Gary did with Sehwag what Sir Alex Ferguson did with Wayne Rooney - give them the licence to kill and they were on a killing spree. He did better than anyone else. More than a coach, Gary is a technically superior strategist who doesn't pause to innovate. Importantly he is not old school.
After Chappell, we needed a coach not a player or a manager to mind the team and Kirsten simply brought out the talent - which was already there. Like form...consistency has always been our major problem and loosing Gary will just add to it.
So, who will be next?
It appears that former New Zealand captain Stephen Fleming, who is also working with MS Dhoni at Chennai Super Kings, may succeed Gary Kirsten. Fleming has been with CSK from the very beginning - first as their opener and later their coach. He shares a very good relationship with Dhoni and importantly N Srinivasan - who will be heading the BCCI in some time.
Like Gary, Stephen is also very pragmatic in his approach and Chennai winning the third edition of the IPL speaks aloud in his CV. Another name that comes up with great promise is Andy Flower. He is 'the one' responsible for England's resurgence.
I don't mind either of them taking the baton from Gary. Who do you think should make it to the Indian dressing room?

Wu-Tang's Shaolin Style in RZA's Kung-Fu Movie
Tarantino, Roth, and RZA connect for a kung fu flick.
The official trailer to RZA's new film, The Man With The Iron Fists is finally here, primarily starring RZA, Lucy Liu, Russell Crowe and Jamie Chung. The trailer promises extreme amounts of gratuitous violence and sex, as one would expect from any Quentin Tarantino produced and Eli Roth written feature. IMDB lists Pam Grier in the cast, so expect a cameo from her, and we can always hope (and pray…) for some other kind of Wu affiliated cameo. As for the soundtrack, it will feature new material from Kanye West, The Black Keys, Wiz Khalifa and the legendary Wu-Tang Clan. The trailer says it best in reference to the talented assassins running around the screen; "They put the F.U. in Kung Fu". Bong bong!

What Went Wrong for Javier Hernandez at Manchester United?November 20, 2013
When a smiling and unknown Mexican turned up at Old Trafford, there was no welcoming committee in place from the United faithful.
Initially, the young boy appeared not to fit into the immediate United jigsaw. He became the first player from his country to play for the Red Devils, and on the surface seemed no more than a fringe-player signing, much like Manucho had been a year or so before.
After extensive monitoring, United had been on Javier Hernandez's trail as far back as 2009. It was without doubt one of the most incredible pieces of scouting an English club has done in the modern era.
At £6 million, "Little Pea" has delivered an outstanding goal return for United, with 54 goals in 125 club appearances, and with a stunning 35 goals in 57 international games, Hernandez is indeed one of the hottest strikers on the planet.
So why does it appear that his time in Manchester might be coming to an end?
A rogue retweet hinted toward Chicharito's state of mind, as rumours surfaced of a possible exit for the player, as reported in the Daily Mail. Hernandez publicly displayed a tweet that quotes his international colleague Carlos Vela as saying on Sky Sports:
"If he plays regularly he will score, so I don't totally understand why a player of his quality has not played more games. If he doesn't play regularly he will need to think about leaving. You always want to succeed at the biggest clubs - but if he is not given the chance there will be big teams in England and Europe wanting him."
The fact he has not deleted the tweet from his account suggests it was not an innocent posting error.
There is no doubting Hernandez's unique skill set. The player has lightning reflexes and betters Wayne Rooney in terms of point-blank finishing. There is also no doubt that his general game has improved. In his first season, there were clear inconsistencies in what he could naturally do, but he has worked on these weaknesses and is now a more rounded player.
However, the question remains: Is Chicharito really good enough for Manchester United?
Chicharito's story is similar to those of Mark Robins and Giuseppe Rossi, both of whom were diminutive strikers who could finish with aplomb. The Mexican has far and away outshone the basic achievements of these two players, but both found it hard to break through and be the players they should have been for United, because of the system the club prefers to play.
Being a finisher has never been enough to play for Manchester United. Andy Cole showed how you could come to the club as a predatory striker and become a player that others could play off and thrive. After three years in Manchester, Hernandez is not that type of player.
What Hernandez is, though, is a goal machine. If you feed him, then he will score. His goals-to-games ratio is currently the highest in Premier League history, beating the likes of Thierry Henry, Alan Shearer and Didier Drogba. However, for a long period of time, "just" being a goalscorer has not been enough to be first choice at United.
Robin van Persie is the archetypal Manchester United striker. He is a player that both scores and has the ability to assist. Hernandez struggles with the latter, and it is this reason that loses him kudos when choosing a first team.
Not since Ruud van Nistelrooy has United relied on a predatory striker to run their front line. Wayne Rooney and Danny Welbeck also fit the mandate more than "Chico," as they offer something across the whole forward line.
Hernandez is purely the "super sub" who will be rotated in and out. This very fact must greatly worry the Mexican.
The rhetorical question in Chicharito's situation is: Can he ever really be a United first-teamer?
The answer would appear to be no.
However, he is the type of player United need to retain. You cannot find many strikers with a goal ratio as good as his, but everything depends on if he is prepared to be David Moyes' "modern day Ole Gunnar Solskjaer."
I think Javier Hernandez's only failing is that he might have chosen the wrong club, and I say that in a subjective tone. United have been very lucky to find such a fantastic goalscorer, but many great players in the past have struggled to carve their niches at the club. Old Trafford used to be referred to as the "Strikers' Graveyard" after a notable number of failures in the forward positions. Unfortunately, Hernandez might fall foul as well, even with the stellar goal return.
I hope Chicharito signs a new deal, but there is no guarantee that will happen. However, if the player wants to be a major football club's prime striker, he may find that he will have to do this away from "The Theatre of Dreams."

I often used to imagine him sitting in a big office in 32 Smith Square – now, ironically Europe House and London home of the EU – and stroking a white cat sitting on his lap.
These days he's taken seriously as an opinion pollster. And the message he delivered to the Conservative Home spring conference was no laughing matter for the Tory activists in his audience.
And he delivered the results of his latest opinion poll with all the menace of Blofeld. And the activists sat in stunned silence as he revealed what he called "the gruesome details".
The poll, carried out in samples of 1,000 in 26 of the closest Labour-Conservative marginal constituencies, shows a bigger Labour lead than any of the recent opinion polls in newspapers.
Asked how they would vote in a general election in their own constituency, 41% said Labour, 29% Conservative, 8% Liberal Democrat and 18% UKIP.
The ConHome members had just tucked into a tasty lunch of fish and chips in paper cones followed by a chocolate mousse when they had to digest these alarming figures for the Tories.
The 6.5% swing to Labour in the Ashcroft poll was enough to oust 83 Conservative MPs, he said. And when I interviewed him later for Sky News, he said it was enough to give Labour a Commons majority.
The hard-to-swallow findings of the poll came only a couple of hours after George Osborne gave the activists something to chew over in a speech on the lessons for the Tories from the local government elections.
His rallying call to the party was "listen, respond and deliver" and there were five lessons from Thursday's elections for the Conservatives, he said.
1. The economy: Making sure the recovery was for all;
2. Immigration, jobs and welfare: Delivering policies that work;
3. Europe: "People feel cheated by the political class," he said. "We should stop complaining that the public don't believe us."
4. The North: The Tories must be the voice against Labour. UKIP's successes in the north showed people felt ignored by Labour;
5. Work hard: "Harder than this party has worked for a generation".
In the promised Q&A, the Chancellor only took three questions, one from me, one from James Landale of the BBC and one from the veteran Tory grassroots campaigner John Strafford. But Strafford's was a belter.
"You say you're going to listen to UKIP voters and respond to them," Strafford began. "But what will you say to them when the UKIP voter says they oppose HS2, they are in favour of grammar schools, they want foreign aid cut, they want EU immigration controlled, they want to scrap subsidies on wind farms and solar panels, they are uncomfortable about gay marriage and they think the Help to Buy scheme is barmy?"
There was laughter from some members of the audience, but Osborne's face bore a pained expression. Then, when he attempted to defend Help to Buy, another audience member shouted "Build more homes!"
So after my helpful question about calls from Tory MPs for a pact with UKIP, the Chancellor "made his excuses and left", as they used to say in the Sunday red tops.
His excuse was that he had to catch the midday train to Newark to go campaigning for the by-election on June 5 in which the Conservatives are defending a 16,000 majority.
Despite his noticeably new svelte figure, brought about by the 5:2 fad diet, we're told, George Osborne is no Daniel Craig, or any other James Bond. (I tell people Daniel Craig is my cousin, but he isn't really.)
But for the Chancellor, listening to the menacing words of the man Tory staffers call Blofeld would have been sheer torture.

thanks Walt,
its an easy plane to build, sanding the wings and rounding corners are the time consumers and even then its not bad, 100 grit cuts this stuff fast, 200 and 400 smooths it out quick.
hey i12flyrc,
probably not...I just dont feel comfortable under handing...never have..did alot of hand launch glider flying and thats what I am used to. I posted that video that was like my second flight and I misjudged throttle power and angle, sense then I have had no problems getting it in the air.
Vic, sure I'll get one up, there is no thrust tube or elaborate ducting on this plane, the fan just mounts in the center rear of the lower box and blows straight out through the rear splitter, but that doesnt mean someone wanting to "hotrod" this design with better ducting/thrust tube and 5s lipos couldnt.
here are the butt pics
PS, you'll notice I have'nt planked out the small section behind the exit or just behind the tail mount, I'll do those after the the pushrods are in.
Last edited by sloperjoe; Jul 03, 2012 at 06:23 PM.
now I made the splitter out of regular 6mm depron because I wanted the stiffness, this part is one of the most critical parts on this design it adds an extreme amount of strength along with the verticle stab, it also locks in the tail incidence and makes the tail section rock solid so its not all noodley. before this part is added just the slightest side push on the tail will flex the tail boom, adding the verticle stab stiffens it some, but adding the stiffener/splitter hardens it solid. eyeball this part well while mounting, it must be very straight, if its in crooked it may induce side thrust. I draw centerline reference marks on the fuse parts to aide in alignment while building. hopefully mine is in straight
just got back from the tall grass test glide site, the glides went very well, the CG on this one is different, need to put a ruler on it and get an accurate #. my guess is anyone who builds this plane should plan on test gliding for best balance. subtle differences in the tail incidence caused by cutting the parts even just a little off can change where it will like to fly.
my daughter videoed some of the test glides, after the best CG point was found I threw the Phantom several more times to confirm it was where I wanted it...I like it, and it appears I did glue the tail feathers on straight...lucked out again eh..
Happy 4th O July Walt,
yeah they were all within an 1/8th inch of each other, it was also just a tad on the breezy side but not bad, I like to get a nice level glide set and no stall when speed bleeds off, just a nice soft floaty level touchdown. less fiddle'in with trims this way.
I have the servos and control surfaces all set up, and the fan unit is mounted, she is ready to fly But its the 4th and time for some Bar-B-Q'in and fireworks, not to mention its way too breezy today...must be 15mph breeze and by the way the trees are moving I would guess gusts of 18-20 going through intermittently. so the maiden will need to wait another day
in the mean time here are some install pics on the servo set up and motor install.

Hi Joe, happy 4th of July to you and your family!! We had our cookout at the field today, lots of planes, lots of flying, lots of fun,, then took a break in the flying to grill out, eat and then back to fly some more!!!! A great day(especially since all my stuff came back home in tact!). You'll have to keep us updated on the maiden flight, of course with pics and vids.. I got some vids today, but need to edit them as the files are BIG... So well see... Have a great day!!! W.
PS.... Don't get glue on that table or you'll be a dead man!!!!!!
Hey Joe,
Great job on the build! It looks great and flies just like a parkflyer should. Did I read this thread right? People are flying using the Detrum 70mm fan/esc combo all day long on 5S with no problems? 56amp draw on a 5S pack won't fry the 60amp rated ESC but will the motors hold up for long? The reason I ask is that I have a pair of these 70mm detrums going in my Mig-29. At 4S they're giving me 84oz of static thrust with a combined amp draw of 68amps, but I would be jazzed if I could fly it on 5S
thank you very much Kim,
I do have a paypal account firstname.lastname@example.com
and no there is no exhaust ducting on this design, just did this one as a simple park jet to fit the 70mm Detrum combo, a thrust tube and better intake ducting would probably improve the performance but also add weight... so it was a trade off, I wanted to keep the AUW as low as possible for flying at the schoolyard down the road.
hey Vic,
I personally have not gone 5s on a 70mm Detrum unit (dont really need that kind of umph for where I fly), Lt599 has and several others have that I've read about while researching for the thrust ratings on these units before buying one...it appears the motors and ESC's hold up just fine. I didnt see anything where someone stated they fried one on 5s...I can say if 5s doesn't fry em, it'll sure blast the air out.
Well, I just don't know, I'd do a lot of testing before I stuck it in a plane and tried 5s... My luck with going a cell larger on EDF setups have ended in burnt up motors, twice!(they weren't the Detrum units though) So like I said, I'd do a lot of testing with bench running.. The ones I've tried this on have lasted 2 or 3 flights and then scorch! And I do use a lot of throttle management on my planes... Vic, keep us posted if you try this... W
just want to clarify my earlier statement...I have NOT gone 5s with these units... I cannot say definitively that its ok to do so...I just havent found anything that is in writing or posted anywhere that running 5s is detrimental to the motor...however I would have to go with Walt on this one, do some testing...but if you have the urge to run one on 5s in a plane let us know how it holds up...by that I mean at the very least ten runs or so...just two or three flights does'nt mean its "good to go"...at least ten with no signs of excessive heat in the motor or ESC...if you already have a bunch of flights on a 5s 70mm Detrum unit post here what you know.... I am curious to know myself.
well.....just got back from a nice TALL grassy field and the attempt at maiden...all I can say is sometimes the best laid plans just go kaput during the real thing...it would appear my glide testing method was somehow flawed....the CG appears to be exactly where the plans show they are marked, I made 6 attempts moving the battery forward gradually with tail heavy results...luckily I had nice tall cushy grass to keep the Phantom from any damage. attempt #6 was almost but needed to have the battery shifted forward a little more, but it was velcroed with a more rearward position so I didnt attempt any further flight, that and the cam batts went gunny sack...so on returning home I stuck a pencil on the original Phantoms balance point and moving the batts forward came to the spot I concluded they needed to be in relation to attempt #6 batt position... so it would seem I actually did mark the correct CG on the plans after all, anyhow it is still early and I will re-velcro and take it back over to the field in a little while and see if I cant get this baby flying. so stay tuned..
oh by the way all the video was useless to watch, had the angle wrong on my forehead....you could hear it...just couldnt see anything... I will try to get my daughter to go with me later to be sure it gets recorded. good or bad...

"Could my GP have prevented my burst bowel?"
About: Manchester PCT Manchester PCT Manchester M14 7LU Manchester Royal Infirmary / Gastroenterology Manchester Royal Infirmary Gastroenterology M13 9WL Manchester Royal Infirmary / General surgery Manchester Royal Infirmary General surgery M13 9WL
Posted by beano (as ),
From February – September 2008, I had been in very bad pain. It was abdominal pain, so I went to my GP on numerous occasions, to be told that it sounds like IBS and was prescribed Mebevourine and Fybogel, but still no investigation. So September 26th 2008, I was rushed to hospital for me to have an emergency operation as my bowel had burst (peritonitis) and had to have my stomach flushed with 12 litres of water and was on life support and was then taken to the intensive care unit for 2 months. Through this I now have a stoma, and I do believe my doctor could of done a lot more, as another 2 hours I would of died. But as I am here to live the tale, I am very lucky and so are my children.
