Comedy hour comes early today, courtesy of Japan's PM Shinzo Abe who just started speaking on the topic of "reshaping the world" at Davos. Like we said: pure comedy.
Comedy hour comes early today, courtesy of Japan's PM Shinzo Abe who just started speaking on the topic of "reshaping the world" at Davos. Like we said: pure comedy.
Did Abe set off the radiation detectors on the way in?
"Imagine a vast sea of riquidity...irradiated riquidity."
Did he just say arsequake?
Majority of the time when people post it sounds like… HI :D I'm really retarded, and thank you for taking the time to notice me.
I was looking for a smart-ass response to this idiocy that would include a clip from the early '70s Firesign Theater "Kamikaze" tract.
What did I find?
This, from Tim Knight..
I am dying… about ready to roll on the floor and laughing my A off. :-D
Please tell me there will be a word cloud printed in Japanses
Fat finger.. incorrect paste..
You guys are like vultures… I couldn't fix the link fast enough. :-D
oh.. and I really hate JPM, too.
I saw your first link and thought it was a joke I didn't get.
Crap.. it must be the long term effects of all of the drugs..
It was a Cheech and Chong skit I was thinking of..
I was not able to locate a fidelity MP3, but here is an imitation..
..good enough for youse guys.
Majority of us don't want to listen to him...
but he speaks to Davos attendees, pointing to re-shaping the world...
no, guess shouldn't listen to him...
unless you're PTB.
Chosen and delivered. Next, Hinde.....!
Oh, sheeples, sheeples (ooops, grasshoopers, grasshoopers...)
the bald one asked some good questions: visit to shrine & endgame for abenomics.
he finished by saying that Abe's making a new Japan.
That one is true, Japan will be quite a bit different going forward. But not in a good way.
More like in a Medieval way, you mean. Though I gotta say, medieval Japan made some great blades.
That's funny, because I don't hear a thing when I read the posts.
"Raise taxes... and uh... eliminate waste"
Has the idea of encasing the entire country in concrete been table to help stop the radiation as well as stopping Abe from putting in place his plan of re establishing Japan as a militarized empire looking for new war crime merit badges?
Those cute J-girls need to be transported to safety before pouring the concrete. I myself could find use for a few Japanese 'comfort women'. I doubt Koreans object.
And it's a glowing vision at that.
Wow. What a speech.
The libertarians, Doug Casey and the Globalists must be delighted. What a turbo-capitalist offensive. Almost every sentence in this speech was an attack on the social security and well being of the average people. Corporations will pay even less taxes. Even the 1.2 trn$ pension fund will be transferred to Wall St. casino ("investors"). Energy markets will be fully privatized. And the healthcare sector will be opened for Wallstreet, too. Incredible. I'm wondering what the Japanese media will report about this incredible speech and criminal plan.
Abenomics obviously is the ultimate and final wealth transfer from the productive people to the international banksters before the system will collapse.
No wonder why this person is hailed by the international media.
I envision a country filled with untreatable cancer patients, and mutants roaming the land. And the world is ruled by damned dirty apes!...So solly...wong movie.
I am Abe Shithole and I approved this message.
I envision a country filled with untreatable cancer patients...
Be more clever
Japan is stuck between a Meltdown and soft place.
I have never seen a country I used to think so highly of sink so fast.
Welcome to the 21st century.
Exactly. Read a Tom Clancy or Michael Crichton novel from the early 80s and you will have trouble "suspending belief".
They rose quickly by selling cheap consumer goods to the ascendent US middle class. Same as CHina has done more recently.
Turns out not to have been a great long-term move. whodathunkit.
I think that part of the plan worked well, I think they just wasted their golden age on consumption, and then borrowed to consume more instead of securing resources or building a soverign wealth fund.
$1 trillion pension fund for how many people? If its only 5 million, then at 5% return they could each have $10,000 per year to live on. If 50 million, $1000 per year could be pretty lean.
I think they made the mistake of letting a for-profit buy a crap US nuke plant design from GE, then made the mistake of trusting the crap GE siting plan, then made the mistake of trusting the crap GE design to last longer than it's design life, then made the mistake of trusting France that Plutonium MOX is a safe fuel in a crap GE reactor in a crap site that's older than its design life then... I'm just sayin....
Plus they're completely screwed up for entrusting an Israeli company, MAGNA BSP, to be in charge of the Fukushima Daiichi NPP security aspects.
Perhaps all the mishaps are simply their very ways in repaying their bad karmas... just saying
"I have never seen a country I used to think so highly of sink so fast."
For a minute there I thought you were referring to the U.S.S.A
Glowing kids, Glowing food, Glowing water.
That's our vision.
Everything is GLOWING!
Thank you and have a great day!
Why is that a problem just for Japan? What part of the Pacific Ocean off Japan is going to stay over there and not come to our own shores?
Folks around here don't understand a lot of really important shit, and it worries me.
There goes Tokyo
History shows again and again
How nature points out the folly of men
Abe reminds me of that Geico commercial with the guy riding the motorcycle. He's covered in fiat notes and there's a trail of it behind him.
Abe could definitely use some polonium-210 on his sushi.
what a cock-head is our abe-san
in the true spirit of Homer S, I just kept pressing the damn send button...d'oh
Hello Kitty....o its only ABE....I wonder if he travels with a yen printer
I lould like some ladioactive flied lice.
Hello Kitty has been replaced by Hello Cancer
Most of those kids are all dead now. It's being kept out of the papers, but the massive school consolidation efforts are very telling on how many kids are left in Japan. So the Chinese don't need to go to war with Japan.
They only need to wait three more years.
The generational implosion due to arrive in Japan over the next 20 years is likely going to become the racial equivalent of an extinction event.
I believe some pretty crazy shit, but massive numbers of dead children in Japan seems a bridge too far. Source?
FWIW, I did find a good article on school consolidation in Japan due to the declining birth rate -http://www.nippon.com/en/column/l00018/.
Those Japanese kids are better off dead now. They are doomed when they are taught texbooks containing rewritten history. They will grow up believing they are the victim and be as aggreessive as their parents . They will die in the inevitable wars with their neighbor countries.
Wonder if his credit card works????
Abe is never at a loss for optimistic speech. Reminds me of someone else on the other side of the Pacific.
Do they actually BELIEVE this shit?
You think that's funny? Rick Perry was just "live from Davos" on CNN.

I'm starting to feel like society has some seriously unrealistic expectations for what a full-term pregnant woman looks like. Maybe it's celebs? Happy to show of their "cute" little bumps but when the end is in site they go into hiding. And who can blame em? At a time when you're feeling just a tad insecure that you've ballooned to size of a small village it seems like everyone has the right to comment on your size. "Ooo, coming any day?" I suddenly feel like applausing Demi Moore for boldly gracing the cover of Vanity Fair naked at seven months pregnant and proudly showing off her bump (although i'll be frank, i'm really not a massive fan of naked pregnant bellies, I much prefer them under some clothing. But you get my point). With just over two months to go I was starting to wonder that come 9 months I would resemble one of the contestants from The World's Strongest Man, hauling one of those Atlas balls around with me. But then I had my latest docs appointment where I was told i'm measuring right on track for 29 weeks. And with that I happily scoffed a whole giant bar of Cadburys milk chocolate with Dime and stuck two fingers up to the rest of the world.
Ah the ramblings of a hormonal, emotional pregnant lady. At least you don't have to live me :-)

BREWERY: Lakewood Brewing Co., Garland
STYLE: Milk stout, also known as sweet stout; these are stouts brewed with lactose (or another unfermentable sugar), which lends sweet notes and body to the beer.
THE PITCH: Four-month-old Lakewood Brewing Co. is the latest local craft brewery to offer its beer bottled as well as on tap. The Temptress is a delicious, year-round offering that's perfect for the holidays. It's rich and smooth, with lots of chocolate, roasted malt and burnt-sugar flavors, and dried fig notes. At 9 percent alcohol by volume, it's high in alcohol — even for a milk stout — but the potency is well-hidden. The addition of lactose lends a lovely creaminess, and the low carbonation makes it smooth and easy to drink.
FUN FACTS: Lakewood Brewing Co. is simultaneously releasing its lager in bottles to retail stores. The brewery also finished a limited production of a special milk stout aged in bourbon barrels, which will be available on tap only at select craft beer bars.
Lakewood Brewing Co. offers brewery tours every Saturday afternoon from noon to 3 p.m. The tour is $10 (cash only), and includes four glasses of beer and a souvenir glass. Live music and gourmet food trucks are on site, too. For information — or to see a video of the first bottling of The Temptress — visit lakewoodbrewing company.com.
SERVE IT: Serve it chilled to about 55 F, with beef, blue cheese, chocolate or chocolate desserts and on its own as a dessert.
GET SOME: Sold in four-packs of 12-ounce bottles for $9.59 to $10.99 at Sigel's (Greenville and Fitzhugh locations), Spec's on Walnut Hill Lane, Whole Foods Market (Lakewood and Park Lane locations), Kindred Spirits in Lakewood, The Bottle Shop on Greenville Avenue, AD Beer and Wine in Garland, Star Liquor in the Colony, Lone Star Beverage in Carrolton, S&K Beverages in Plano and Kegs & Barrels in Plano.
Beer Buzz appears every other week.

An injury may have ended his season prematurely but the big guy is more concerned about his little buddy in Saskatoon than testing his knee in Winnipeg's training camp.
Dan Goodspeed was shocked to hear that Blue Bombers running back Graeme Bell had been attacked by a man with a baseball bat in Saskatoon last weekend. Because he knew they were friends, Bombers GM Brendan Taman called Goodspeed at his Tampa, Fla., home to let him know.
"Brendan called because he knew we were close and I really appreciated that," Goodspeed said from Tampa yesterday. "I took him under my wing a little bit and I had been talking to him lots in the off-season and know how hard he had been working. I talked to his folks and it looks like he's getting better and they are optimistic about his future."
Bell was released from hospital on Tuesday and the attacker has turned himself into police.
"Let's hope he gets what he deserves," Goodspeed said.
Goodspeed deserved a better fate last year. The 6-foot-6, 313-pound import tackle suffered a torn ACL in mid-July just when he was starting to enjoy his best CFL season.
"Yeah, I was real frustrated," Goodspeed admitted. "We were ready to go into first place in the East (with a win over Montreal) and we were winning when I got hurt."
But Goodspeed went under the knife and has since been given a clean bill of health.
"The off-season's been a little long," he said. "Actually, it's been too long since I've banged heads with someone. About two months ago, I was ready to go to camp."
And there will be no trepidations about that knee when he does return to the gridiron early next month.
"The surgery went well and the rehab went well," said Goodspeed, who turns 30 on Sunday. "I've been doing a lot of football moves for the past three months. And there has been no pain, no swelling. In fact, it's stronger than my other knee now."
The ex-NFLer is expected to be the only starting import on the re-tooled offensive line this year.
"Our O-line is coming together nicely," Goodspeed said. "I think it will be the strength of our team."
Bombers acquired OL Alexandre Gauthier from Calgary and Matt O'Meara from Saskatchewan, and signed OL Andrew Greene (Saskatchewan) as a free agent -- all Canadians. They will join such non-import returnees as Obby Khan, Matt Sheridan, Val St. Germain and Aaron Fiaconni and import Jermese Jones.
"I'm excited," Goodspeed said. "I'm well-rested coming into this year and hopefully, I can make a difference."
Goodspeed was also encouraged by Winnipeg's turnaround under head coach Doug Berry as the Bombers finished 9-9 and qualified for the playoffs, losing the Eastern semifinal to Toronto.
"We've got a good core of players coming back and we can do even better," Goodspeed said. "I can't wait. Times a-tickin'"
HASHMARKS: The Bombers announced that they will host a number of pre-game parties at the south end of the stadium 90 minutes prior to home games ... Bombers GM Brendan Taman is scouting kickers in the U.S. this weekend.

But what's their strategy here?Early on, BlackBerry cornered the enterprise market with unparalleled security features. Windows Mobile gained and then lost the field service sector by partnering with rugged device manufacturers. Then Apple forced its way into the enterprise from the top down, with a smartphone that was so slick that it was irresistible to top execs. Android, it seems, is riding the consumerization wave of personal phones being used for business-related tasks, with or without the blessing of IT administrators. With Ice Cream Sandwich, Google just made it a little bit easier for IT departments to say "yes" to their Android users. OS 4.0 includes:

Sox hope Drew can return Tuesday
Sox hope Drew can return Tuesday
"Very hopeful," said Drew. "I think we can control it. I was kind of thinking, 'Let's don't worry about the picture, let's just give it a couple of days and see how it feels.' But I think for the peace of mind for everybody, especially [manager] Terry [Francona], we've been very limited in the outfield with [Mike] Cameron and [Jacoby] Ellsbury and everybody on the DL, [Jeremy] Hermida on the DL, so they just kind of want some sure answers to make sure it's not going to be lingering for a week and a half, two weeks."
Though Cameron is back on the active roster, he didn't play Saturday because Francona has been trying to give him a rest when it makes sense. With Saturday being a day game after a night game, this was one of those occasions.
The Red Sox went with Daniel Nava in left, Darnell McDonald in center and Bill Hall in right.
Drew limped off the field in the third inning Friday, after making an inning-ending catch on a Manny Ramirez liner.
"It was just a little tight before the game [Friday]," said Drew. "Been a little tight, but nothing major. Just one of those plays where it was kind of a perfect storm scenario. I had to lean in, the leg came forward and the hamstring grabbed really good. I don't think I've done an extreme amount of damage."
The Red Sox hope Drew can return by Tuesday night's series opener against the Rockies in Denver.

French interior minister advises ban on Dieudonné shows
Bordeaux became the first French city to ban performances by the antisemitic comedian Dieudonné yesterday, following advice given by France's interior minister to local officials.
In a statement released to municipal leaders across France, Interior Minister Manuel Valls wrote: "The fight against racism and antisemitism is a main concern for the government and demands energetic action."
He added: "Respect for freedom of expression does not prevent, in exceptional circumstances, the banning of an activity if the measure is aimed only at preventing a breach of public order".
Bordeaux's mayor, and former French prime minister Alain Juppé took the lead, immediately cancelling the Dieudonné's scheduled appearance in the city on January 26.
The comic's offensive performances have been subject to global scrutiny in the last few weeks, following footballer Nicolas Anelka's quenelle gesture, which he made during West Bromwich's game against West Ham.
Anelka later claimed he had made the gesture in tribute to his friend Dieudonné, who regularly uses the Nazi-style salute in his performances.
Last night, in answer to Mr Valls's statement, Dieudonné's lawyer said the comedian planned to take legal action against attempts to cancel his shows.

Antananarivo (AFP) Nov 18, 2010
Madagascar troops who staged a mutiny and claimed they seized power on the island were considering their next move Thursday after the government warned of reprisals against them, their leader told AFP.
"We are in a meeting to decide what we're going to do," General Noel Rakotonandrasana, a former armed forces minister who played a key role in the March 2009 coup that brought Andry Rajoelina to power, told AFP by telephone.
On Wednesday Rakotonandrasan declared that government institutions had been suspended and a military council was in charge of the country.
Prime Minister Camille Vital told AFP the mutineers numbered no more than 20 and a military source warned the government was preparing to get tough with them.
"If the negotiations fail the regime is going to take a much tougher stance. There won't be any en masse pardon. Orders have been given," the source said, asking not to be identified.
There were no signs of a military presence or unusual activity in the capital Thursday with traffic on the streets and shops open for business as normal.
Pedestrians and vehicles were moving normally through the street in front of the barracks where the mutineers are holed up, with just one sentinel standing guard at the entrance to the barracks.
Rajoelina, speaking Wednesday evening insisted that "the government will assume its responsibilities and consequently take action."
The mutiny took place on a public holiday as residents voted in a referendum on a new constitution organised by Rajoelina. This is the first poll since the March 2009 coup.
In the capital Antananarivo those who took part in the referendum voted overwhelmingly in favour of the new law, according to provisional results announced Thursday by the electoral agency, but turnout was only 40 percent.
The yes vote is likely to dominate everywhere as the opposition parties, led by the island's three former presidents Marc Ravalomanana, Didier Ratsiraka et Albert Zafy have called for a boycott rather than a no vote.
Despite the call by the mutineers "overall everything went off normally" during polling, Gisele Dama Ranampy, a member of the electoral agency, told AFP.
Dama Ranampy said the first result trends on a national level will only be available in two or three days' time because some upcountry areas are very remote. Official results will take even longer, she said.
It marks the first phase of a process agreed to by Rajoelina and around 100 small political movements to lift the island out of political stalemate. The process has however been rejected by the opposition and criticised by the international community as not being sufficiently representative.
The main opposition groups say the country needs a broader consensus.
The international community, on which the Madagascan economy is highly reliant, has made its scepticism clear.
"The political structures and processes created by the de-facto government remain insufficiently democratic and consensual," US Deputy Assistant Secretary for African Affairs Karl Wycoff said during a visit earlier this month.

Rebel troops claim Madagascar government suspended

Dissident Madagascan soldiers claimed Wednesday they had taken power of the island as it voted in a constitutional referendum, but leader Andry Rajoelina vowed a swift crackdown. General Noel Rakotonandrasana, who played a key role in Rajoelina's army-backed coup in March 2009, declared that government institutions had been suspended and a military council was in charge.

A cancer-stricken 13-year-old braved the rain on Friday, arriving at an outdoor event via ambulance and on a stretcher so that she could meet cast members from her favorite television show, A&E's "Duck Dynasty."
Alan Robertson, the famed family's eldest son, was joined by parents Phil and Miss Kay and Uncle Si in laying hands on and praying for Skye Loustalot, a teenager who is battling osteosarcoma, a form of bone cancer.
Skye attended the family's appearance at the "Bay of the Holy Spirit Jubilee," a faith-based family event in Fairhope, Ala. During the event, Alan, a pastor who viewers just started seeing on the screen during the show's latest season, led the family's prayer.
"I pray that you'll bless her with healing and restoration. I pray for her family tonight, Father," Robertson said as tears filled Skye's eyes. "I pray you'll lift them up in a very powerful way. Give her courage."
Skye, who is a big Robertson clan fan, said she "loved" meeting the family.
A few weeks before the meet-and-greet, Skye underwent surgery to remove a tumor on her abdomen, AL.com reported.
Watch the prayer below:
The Robertsons were already well aware of the teen's cancer battle before Friday's event. The family recorded a video for Skye weeks ago after learning that she had her leg amputated in September, AL.com reported.
Contact with one of television's most famous families was made through the USA Children's and Women's Hospital's Mapp Child & Family Life Program. Medical professionals contacted the organizer of the "Bay of the Holy Spirit Jubilee" in an effort to try and get the cast to raise Skye's spirits.
In addition to the video message, the Robertsons made good on their promise to meet Skye in person.
The teen shared her excitement on Facebook following the event.
"Had so much fun with my family at the duck dynasty event it was a blast!!" she wrote. "Thank you mom and dad for standing out in the rain for me I know you guys got soaked and y'all were freezing but I know you did it for me I love y'all and thanks to my sister to and both my brothers I love all of y'all I'm so glad I got to hold si's hand it was so amazing!!!!!"

GPS Tracking App Helps Locate Graves in Arlington National Cemetery23 May 2013
With Memorial Day just around the corner, here's a post about how GPS tracking technology is helping memorialize and pay respects to the military at one of our nation's most hallowed grounds — Arlington National Cemetery.
GPS is an incredibly useful tool. And GPS tracking apps are breaking new ground with the release of a new web application called ANC Explorer by Arlington National Cemetery.
The app provides family members, loved one, veterans and the public the ability to locate graves, in addition to the capability to see photographs, both front and back, of headstones and monuments. It then allows users to get directions to the monument or headstone locations. The app also provides visitors with information on special events at the cemetery and the ability to leave feedback concerning their experience.
There are already plans to include additional features such as restroom and water fountain locations as well as event and emergency notifications.
The new app is the result of an attempt to improve the accountability of the institution after reports of inaccurately marked gravesites, poor record keeping and outright mismanagement at the cemetery were disclosed.
Each headstone of the 259,978 gravesites in Arlington National Cemetery was photographed by the Army and compared with existing records along with other historical data in an effort to verify the validity of the information and provide absolute accuracy of the data.
"Having access to all this information provides two distinct advantages. First, it helps those in the cemetery really increase their understanding of the history and be more aware of the memorials around them. Second, if you're not able to visit the cemetery in person, you can actually experience some of it through the website," said Ryan Heitz, GISi federal program manager for the Army.
ANC Explorer also has several practical applications for the actual business operations of the national cemetery. It provides fast access for staff members to add new information so records can be up-to-date at all times. It also helps to avoid maintenance scheduling that conflict with other maintenance projects or in areas where funerals and other events are being conducted at the same time.
"There isn't a national cemetery that is as technologically advanced as Arlington – both in day-to-day operations and how it connects to its families and visitors," said Kathryn A. Condon, executive director of the Army National Military Cemeteries in a statement calling the ANC Explorer app another milestone in the cemetery's transformation.
ANC Explorer is one of 10 winners receiving 2012 GCN Awards for IT Achievement for the powerful way it connects citizens with government and fills the never-ending demand for tools that share information and tactics.
This free app is available through several mediums. Apple users can download it through the iTunes store, Android users can download the app via Google Play, and BlackBerry users can access it at BlackBerry App World. It's also available on theArlington National Cemetery website.

Delighted dad of quads looking forward to 5,000 nappy changes
THE overwhelmed parents of Ireland's newest set of quadruplets have stocked up on more than 5,000 nappies.
Grace and James Slattery are "still coming to terms" with the arrival of three new daughters Amelia, Mollie Rose, Lily Grace May, and son, Lucas James.
The couple, who could not afford IVF treatment, had been trying to conceive for four years.
And after four heartbreaking miscarriages, they decided to give it one final attempt.
Even though doctors gave the couple from Caherconlish, Co Limerick, the good news at their first scan that there were four heartbeats, it was made clear all four babies may not survive.
Proud father James said: "From day one we were told, that with our (miscarriage) history, it didn't look likely that we would end up with four babies – that (the pregnancy) might not actually go all the way, and that we might not have been able to carry (the babies). But, 'supermum' did her thing, and here we are today with four babies."
James (33), who has a 13-year-old son from a previous relationship, added: "We went from (a family) of three to seven in four minutes.
"It's incredible. We'll roll with it and keep going, there's nothing else we can do. We're looking forward to it."
James, who works at Tait House community enterprise centre in Limerick city, said they expect to go through thousands of nappies during the next few months.
"We've a batch of nappies for six months, which Grace's brother helped us get – five-and-a-half-thousand nappies for six months."
And he broke down in tears as he described how first quad Amelia arrived into the world at Dublin's Rotunda on Monday.
He added: "After Amelia, then came Lily Grace, and then Mollie and then Lucas arrived. Lily Grace and Amelia were rushed straight up to the neo-natal unit upstairs, so we got to spend a little time with Lucas and Mollie downstairs, which was brilliant. Grace got to give Lucas a kiss, so that was a lovely moment.
"It was beautiful. It was something else."
James said Amelia was on a ventilator but that doctors hoped she would be able to shortly rejoin her three siblings who are sleeping "together".
"So far so good, please God it stays that way," he added.

WESTMINSTER – A Westminster police corporal and a California Highway Patrol officer helped rescue a man from hanging himself from an overpass on the San Diego (405) Freeway Monday.
Westminster police received several 911 calls just after 12:30 p.m. about a man in his 30s standing on the freeway's Springdale Street overpass, Westminster police said.
The corporal and the CHP officer arrived a few minutes later to see the man outside of a six-foot-high fence of the overpass, police said. When the man spotted the officers, he jumped off the overpass with the noose around his neck, police said.
The two officers, with help from a civilian, reached through the fence
and pulled the man up enough to keep the noose from suffocating him, police said.
Additional officers later arrived and got the man out of the noose and held on to him until Orange County Fire Authority firefighters reached him with a ladder and brought him down to safety, police said.
The man was taken to a hospital.

For some months now Russia has been in the grip of "a wave of strikes." These movements have been of a dual nature: 1) active resistance by cessation of work on the part of industrial workers; 2) passive resistance by the peasants, who cannot buy manufactured goods until prices fall.
The dangers of the situation to Sovietism (it is no longer possible to speak of Communism in Russia), are well appreciated by the Government, or more precisely by the Polit-Buro, the holy of holies in the Communist Party.

Letter: Don't cut band director
As a 2009 Willmar graduate, I am very concerned about the budget cuts in the Willmar public school system. A major concern of mine is the potential removal of Mr. Bryan Mara's position as band director.
One of the things the high school prides itself on is its musical excellence. If one of the two band directors is removed, that excellence will rapidly decline. With his arrival in 2005, a great many changes came to the music department. A few of the most notable were the growth and improvement of our pep band, the resurrection of a competitive marching band program (after a 15-year hiatus), and overall renewed vigor and further musical growth within the student body.
His position is vital within the department. Not only does he provide fresh ideas, but he helps to bear the considerable work load. With the sheer number of students participating in band, a second director is necessary.
The program is split into three bands of different levels. While one instructor directs and teaches the band as a whole, the other is able to give lessons and more localized help to small sections. Without this extension of learning, the program would suffer irreparably. A single director with three full bands is madness. There is only so much he can do to reach and help them, and then they are on their own.
Without the support of Mr. Mara, Willmar's musical excellence and musical pride would deteriorate. I know well that, for many students and alumni of Willmar Senior High, it is the music department that we cherish most about this school. It is a part of my past that I am surpassingly fond of. I would hate to see it so tarnished.

FOXBORO, Mass., Oct. 29 (UPI) -- The New England Patriots activated linebacker Tedy Bruschi Saturday from the physically unable to perform list.
He will be available to play Sunday against Buffalo.
The Patriots had to activate the nine-year veteran prior to 4:00 p.m. EDT Saturday if they wanted him to play this week.
Bruschi, 32, returned to practice last Wednesday after he was given full medical clearance -- following his recovery from the stroke he suffered on Feb. 16. He underwent heart surgery and has seen a number of doctors to gather information for a possible comeback.
He said after practice earlier this week that he felt no pain or discomfort and hopes to start this Sunday night.
Coach Bill Belichick said Bruschi was behind his teammates in the rotation because he has not played this year -- and it is more likely he will see action on early downs and on the punt team.

text: Is it poison ivy or shingles, warts or skin cancer? Why wait a month or more to get into a dermatologist's office to find out? One of our most common activities is the diagnosis and treatment of skin conditions such as infections, unusual moles, warts, acne, contact dermatitis and eczema. The most common surgery we do is the removal of skin lesions. We also do shave biopsies, skin punch biopsies and excisions, and have technology such as cryosurgery and LEEP to destroy skin lesions with little or no scarring. In addition, we have ELOS light-based therapies for the treatment of unwanted skin pigmentation, wrinkles, spider veins and hair. We even offer Levulan and light treatments, which have been shown to be the most effective and best tolerated treatments for diffuse, sun-damaged skin and acne. Our interest is not skin deep and we understand the cutaneous manifestations of systemic disease. Finally, we understand the psychological importance and hormonal connections often found in individuals with skin conditions. We may start with the skin, but we go much deeper.

Clayton Keith Dovel TSA agent stole Ipads | DFW Airport | theft from passengers Bedford, Texas
*Consumer Comment: Actual photo
Dovel works in the terminal, but unlike the security checkpoints where passengers are screened, the 35-year-old TSA employee works in an out-of-sight position in what's called the "Resolution Room" where checked luggage is screened by hand.
That's where police say they think Dovel took iPads that travelers packed away.
"For me, it was like zero chance of me thinking I'd get the iPad back," said Borna Mojra, an architecture student at the University of Texas at Arlington.
It was a long shot, but eight months after his new, 64 gigabyte iPad was stolen, D/FW Airport Police say they found Dovel with it at work.
They also found him with seven other iPads.
Another theft victim actually led police to Dovel. [continued below]....
The theft has shaken Mojra's trust in the TSA.
"If they're the guys who are protecting us and they're not, who am I going to trust next?" he asked.
In a statement, the TSA said Dovel is on administrative leave until the agency can sort out what happened.
"The action of one individual in no way reflects on the outstanding job our more than 50,000 security officers do every day," the TSA added.
It's uncertain how many cases Dovel's arrest might solve, or whether the TSA will let him return to a trusted position.
No one came to the door at Dovel's Bedford home on Tuesday afternoon. There's no listed phone number for him or his wife.
Mojra said he hopes to get his iPad back next week, once investigators release it.
Theft continues to be a common crime at D/FW, but police have been successful lately in catching crooks at the sprawling airport.

No. 38 is probably Rachel Koppit as her sister Zelda is No 9 on page 2.
On this photograph by the way, I was in touch on social media with Pat Roper who still says that she is Number 5, she remembers having her hair cut for a wedding that week. She also remembers standing towards the back of the group.
Two more names that I cannot find listed throughout these photos, nor can I find the faces. Josephine (Josie) Lee, who I know for sure was at LHR as she was best mates with my cousin Cassie Turner. Linda Brazier, who I can't place at LHR, but I assumed after Laindon Park, she would have been there. Can anyone confirm?
The identity of No 24 was supplied by Ann Spooner.
I've been looking at the photos on the Markhams Chase recent posting. On there Josie Beasley has a clear unmistakable expression when having a photo taken. Although her hair is fuller on this picture and is not swept behind her ears as it was in her younger photos I think because of the way she is looking at the camera it is her after all at No 5. The pose is a bit like butter wouldn't melt in her mouth but she had a sharp attitude and was a lively character. However, Pat Roper also had this kind of hairstyle and I remember it was one of her attractive features. Both were very nice girls and I wish one of them would give us all the final confirmation on where they were on the photograph.
No. 25 is Christine Rivers
At last, another one identified for real, I've been looking on here for Sandra Honey for nearly two years, she is well hidden behind Mavis. I'm glad Lesley has come on here to clear up all the unsolved ones, probably helpful that she marked her original photograph up at the time. Thanks as well for pinpointing Kathy Imber, my original placing for her was based on her being near Dawn Gilchrist on the photo. All we need now is Pat Roper to come back to finally get Josie sorted out.
Sandra Honey is no 19
I am afraid I do not remember the name of no 11, but it is not Cathy Imber, she is On page 5 no 8. Thanks Nina for agreeing with me on Josie Beasley No 5
No. 5. I notice that Pat Roper only thinks this might be herself. I'm pretty sure it is Josie Beasley.
No 35 is Margaret Wells and I think no 26 is Veronica Bridges.
Could No.6 be Marion Green? It looks like her.
Number 38 is Greselda Koppit, who's father ran a taylors shop just over the railway bridge in High Road Langdon Hills.
Further to my comment at No. 20 - I think Wendy's surname was Yates.
No 36 is Linda Francis, she lived next door but one too me.
Hi,no 9 is Janet Hughes.
OK, if 38 is one of the Koppit family, is it Rachel or sister Zelda? does anyone know on this one please? Could be there was another sister, I am not sure.
38 - could it be one of the Koppit girls?
20. I used to be friends with this girl and cannot for the life of me remember her full name. I am sure it was Wendy. She lived on the corner of Elgar Close/Kathleen Ferrier Cres. I had moved to Elgar close from Devonshire Rd. Next door to her lived Alan Eames (Named elsewhere in the photos)
No 4 Rose Cooper. No 8 Pauline Bardot. No 9 is a twin to No 30 on photo 4 Catherine & Margaret ??
11 Kathy Imber
I'm No 31 Caroline Franklin (née Brown). I was there from Sept 58 until July 62.
Hello Pat, I am like you, I can see the faces but the names take a while to come back. Or you remember some names but cant see the person on the photo! I was in Mr Rees's class for most of my time there, through to the fifth year. In my class were the boys - Malcolm Scott, Martin Brown, Martin Graves, Geoff Heather - girls Vanessa Crew, Mary Baker, Janet Smithers, Jacqui Sheppard, loads of others, they are all on here. I do remember you with that mascara though. And Anne Edwards with her heels.
No 30 is Edna Crowe, No 36 Linda Francis? No39 Marion Caulfield.
Hi Richard thanks for the comment :-) It's so frustrating looking at all these faces I remember all of them, but not there names. What class were you in and can you remember names? I have so many old pictures of my friends, but sadly none are at school. I'm still living in Lee Chapel north would have loved to go back to Langdon Hills but it's not the same. I think the Council have ruined it. .
15 Dawn Gilchrist
Nice to see Pat Roper on this site, although we were not in the same class, we were in the same year through LHR. Sad to read of Pat's house being demolished after purchase by Basildon Development Corporation for no apparent reason. It was fortunate that when our family moved away in 1963 and also sold out to BDC our house No1 Nichol Road is still standing and has reverted to private ownership. Nice also to hear that Anne Edwards is ok (what a pretty pair of girls you were ):))
No 39 is Marion ?
I think no 5 is me Pat Roper :-))
13 Enid Walden
No.3 is Sylvia Andrews.
No. 31. Caroline?
No 14 is 100% Marian Irish, believe me, we were courting at the time of this photo. In fact she is my x wife.
Editor: Thanks Les I was becoming giddy.
14 looks like Marion English
A little bit of confirmation about. No. 14. Marian Irish used to live in a plotland bungalow called 'Herandi' in Bourne Avenue before it was made up. (Very close to where I used to live). Her parents were Eileen and Frederick Irish. I have an electorial register from that time and checked on there for confirmation.
Editor: Thanks Nina
No 14. I still claim her name is Marian Irish. She used to live in Bourne Avenue, very close to me.
No.14 is definitely Marion English
Does everyone realise if you click on NEXT, it shows the next section. I cannot help a lot with names as not at LHR until 1959/60 but I already see many familiar names on page one. Great job Ian.

Lebanese Gov't Collapses
Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri is in Washington to meet with President Obama, but he may want to hurry on home: His government collapsed on Wednesday, as 11 Hezbollah ministers resigned their posts. The collapse came after reports that the U.N. tribunal investigating the murder of Rafik Hariri, Saad Hariri's father and a former prime minister of Lebanon, could indict members of Hezbollah. Some are now fearful that the collapse could lead to an outbreak of sectarian violence.

The Basic Parameters of Fleet Design
You also have a variety of target types, from Draconian-controlled salvage fleets and resource mines, to player-controlled fleets, to player bases (and eventually Draconian bases). Each of these calls for different offense tactics and therefore different combinations of ships and weapons.
And finally, what you can do will depend on what you've actually researched and upgraded. You may find guides for the absolute best ways to build a floating fortress using level 4 maelstrom rockets and depleted uranium - but if you're months of play away from being able to make them, it won't do you any good in the present.
With all that said, here are some key tips to keep in mind.
Choosing ShipsStart by deciding what ships will be in your new fleet. How many of what hulls can your dock support? For example, a level 6 dock can launch a fleet of two battle barges and three marauders, or three barges and two longships, or three barges, one marauder, and one skirmisher. Aside from size and the amount of weapons and armor they can have on them, there are four less-obvious differences between the hull types:
- larger ships travel slower than smaller ships,
- larger ships take more damage to destroy,
- larger ships take longer to repair, and
- larger ships can hold more cargo.
Choosing Weapons
In general, a ship is more effective when all of its weapons are the same type, or at least have similar range. But remember that you're not just choosing weapons for an individual ship, you're also choosing for the fleet that the ship is for. To have a wide variety of weaponry in the same fleet, put different kinds of weapons on different ships in the fleet. The key questions are: what is the purpose of the fleet, and what will each ship be doing?
Weapons Against BasesIf you're planning to hit player bases, you're looking for range and damage over other considerations. Defensive turrets in bases are stationary with fixed ranges. In general, you don't need to fire quickly while maneuvering, your targets are often well inland, you might be trying to avoid turrets, and you want each shot to make a dent because you only have five minutes per attack. Mortars (diplomats and peacemakers) are good choices (or were at the time of this article). They shoot slowly, but have a very long range and do a lot of damage per shot.
Ideally you want all long-range weapons on all five ships, but then there's the problem of getting past any fleets defending the target base. To account for that, your best bet is to bring additional fleets that are designed for fleet-to-fleet battles, and to try to keep the base-attack fleet out of those battles. Failing that, it's good to have something short-range on hand, like rippers or hydras.
Weapons for Fleet Battles
Firing speed and/or number of bullets also become important. The faster you can sink an opponent ship, the less time they have to damage your ships.
Each weapon comes with a rating for accuracy, but it's for hitting stationary targets. Weapons with 100% accuracy will precisely hit the spot where a ship was at the time the shot was fired - but if it has a slow fire rate, the bullet will trace a nice-looking arc through the air, very slowly, and not land until after a moving ship has passed the target spot. However, if another enemy ship is following the first one, that one will take those hits. Accuracy is not necessarily related to how effective the weapon will be in a fleet battle - key to fleet battle tactics is maneuvering your opponents into being where your bullets are going to land, regardless of what shot the bullets and what the initial targets were.
Finally, for battles against high-level Draconian fleets (level 7 salvages and up, level 9 mines and up), ideally you want all short-range weapons, preferably on marauders or better. Their big ships are all long-range-only, so the key tactic is to get your ships right next to them without dying, at which point the Draconians are sitting ducks.
Special Modifications from the Advanced LabFrom longships up, there are slots available for special mods like improvements to specific weapons, improved armor against specific weapons, and improvements to ship movement and enemy evasion. These are researched in the Advanced Lab. By themselves, specials don't add to ship weight - a ship with specials but no weapons or armor will only have its base hull weight. Instead, specials add a percentage of additional weight to the ship's weapons and armor. For example, if the ship weapons add up to 1000 tons on their own, and a special adds 10% weight to weapons, the weapons will weigh 1100 tons with the special added.
Choosing Armor
The downside is that more armor means longer repair time. Ship health regenerates at one armor point per second. If your ship is intended for battle tactics like kiting, where you destroy the enemy while taking little to no damage, try to limit the armor to 300 so you can instant-repair for free. (330 if you have a master fixer officer in the Great Hall.)

it again would be special. As for the other six entries, the opportunity to
score their first graded stakes win would be even more special.
to the Saratoga Special, a juvenile race unlike any other. Inaugurated in 1901, it has been around so long that Regret is still remembered for winning
here prior to moving on and claiming one of the most memorable Kentucky Derby wins of
all time. She became the first ever filly to wear the roses in 1915 and that
was special. Following her triumph she became the first of many that
proved another special win was on the horizon.
Next came Morvich in 1921-22, then Bold Forbes in 1975-76, and Swale in 1983-84. Later in 1984 the Saratoga Special became the first graded stakes win for Chief's
Crown, the original winner of the Breeders' Cup Juvenile later that fall. But, the legendary names don't stop there. Other Saratoga Special winners that come
to mind are Native Dancer, quite possibly the best horse to fall short of a Triple Crown. (2nd to Dark Star in the 1953 Kentucky Derby). Other Saratoga /
Triple Crown winners include Summer Squall and Union Rags while the 1997
winner Favorite Trick is often remembered as one of the toughest 2-yr-olds and
BC Juvenile Champs.
are just a few examples of the rare talents that emerged victorious in the Saratoga Special and other major races. While these legendary winners deserve to be mentioned, let's now move on to 2013.
aren't many instances in horse racing where a single start and maiden win will earn you lower odds than a graded stakes winner but the Juvenile
season is always an exception. Wired Bryan, the winner of the G2 Sanford Stakes
here at Saratoga is your third choice on the morning line at 7-2. Meanwhile, Corfu,
trained by Todd Pletcher, is your favorite at 5-2 and Candy Dandy, trained by
Steve Asmussen, is the second choice at 3-1.
horses slide in front of Wired Bryan with only 1 career win in one career start
but both of these colts have high expectations. One thing about Corfu that
grabs your attention right away is his daddy, Malibu Moon, sire of the 2013
Kentucky Derby winner Orb. Now, put Johnny V in the irons along with TP calling the
shots and maybe that will help you understand why Corfu was so highly regarded
by the Saratoga odds maker.
This may be surprising but to date, neither John Velazquez nor Todd Pletcher
have ever won the Saratoga Special. What, there's actually a graded stakes race in New York that neither has won? Wow, maybe 2013 will be the year that they team up to
cross this one off their list. Or, maybe Pletcher will score it alone as he also has
Danza going with Javier Castellano aboard.
for Candy Dandy his sire Candy Ride (ARG) isn't so bad either. Winner of the
2003 G2 American Handicap at Hollywood Park and the G1 Pacific Classic at Del
Mar, Candy Ride has a very nice resume. It's hard to say if Candy Dandy can
follow in his footsteps but Rosie Napravnik will begin that quest on Saturday
in search of her very first Saratoga Special as well. Steve on the hand, he will be going for
his fourth (Kantharos '10, Kodiak Kowboy '07, Cuvee '03).
But let's not forget who they're up against; Wired Bryan,
best named horse in the business. Okay, that may be a little much but if we
stick to racing and not the name game, he still won in convincing fashion last
time out.
With Shaun Bridgmohan aboard Wired Bryan broke clean in the
6 horse G2 Sanford. They settled in 2nd before making the move onto
the lead by the ½ mile mark in the 6f sprint over a fast dirt track. Once they
landed on the lead that's where they remained with ease as Wired Bryan
eventually drew off to win by 5 ¼ in 1:11.06.
No other horse in that field will be back to see him again
in the Saratoga Special but one horse that may have more than a decent
chance is Lunarwarfare. Trained by Michael Yates and owned by Shadybrook Farms, this son of War Pass, 2007 BC Juvenile winner, ships in from Gulfstream Park
last time out. So far, so fast as his debut on 7/14 ended when he crossed the
wire in 51.39 through 4.5 furlongs. The best way to sum that performance up is:
Track Record. That was fast alright so it will be interesting to see just how
far down the betting public will send him from his ML odds of 6-1.
So, there are 4 solid contenders not to
mention the other 3 that have gone unmentioned. Is there anything Special here? The field for Sunday's G2 Saratoga Special
G2 Saratoga Special | 6 1/2 Furlongs | Purse $200,000 | Post 5:45 EDT
Finally, before I go, one last shout out (or repeat) to our new Hall of Fame rider Calvin Borel...........
Meet Bryan Brinkmeyer – Chicago, IL
Growing up across the river from the Bluegrass State I was able to spend a lot of summer days at Ellis Park, Henderson, KY.
In the spring of 2000, I made my inaugural Kentucky Derby appearance and the tradition continues because there is no other city in the racing world like Louisville, KY on Derby Day.
Although the story of a Kentucky Derby winner is legendary, a champions trail is what The Kentucky Derby Post is all about. The coverage begins when Juvenile season starts and continues until the field is set, the picks are in and the roses are awarded.

Learn how to help your work meet overall business objectives, and, at the same time, create long-term value for your clients that leads to long-lasting relationships.
For most independent consultants, the key to long-term success and building long-term client relationships requires more than just delivering the projects they've asked you to complete, or advising them on strategic direction and execution. It requires consultants to create long-term value for clients that aren't simply measured by how well or how efficiently we complete our assignment, but rather how your work helped to meet overall business objectives. Establishing business value propositions involves four steps: Defining exactly what the value is, communicating the value, integrating it and then measuring it. Here's what that looks like:
The goal of defining business value is to set up a ROI structure upon which all stakeholders agree, a cost-benefit analysis is a good place to start here. It should be expressed in terms that are relevant and resonate with the business. If it can't be communicated in terms of revenue, make sure any savings are translated to budgeted dollars. From this, you should be able to derive KPIs that you can use going forward. Consistently meeting them for your clients will contribute to your credibility as an expert in your space. In this step, remember to keep it simple and be conservative.
Strong communicators follow the rule: Tell them what you are going to tell them, tell them, and then tell them what you told them. The key here is making sure that value is recognized and that all stakeholders are able to clearly see it. Typically, everyone is busy focusing on getting the work done and may forget this important step. Be your own best PR person. When clients don't want to pay for an outside consultant, or they set out to take on the projects themselves to save money, it's likely the work doesn't get done as planned, or the project doesn't have a connection to the overall business objectives. Team members are more focused on getting it finished, as opposed to achieving the desired results. However, as the outside consultant who was able to attain the desired results, you should be touting the win.
It's also important that communications must be on-going and consistent throughout the project. Make it clear from the beginning that you will work with the client to establish a cost benefit analysis and progress will be evaluated against the value statement to manage any changes. You can also leverage the value you create to show how you helped support existing investments and how your work can provide continued optimization of your client's services thus enabling even more business value.
Creating long-term value for clients is achieved when it's well-defined, communicated and integrated into processes, methodologies or work plans that you deliver. Building and enabling repeatable, consistent work and flow creates a high-level of value for your clients. When the project is completed, the value of integration should be communicated to highlight how it has supported all business goals.
At this point, business value should be projected and you're delivering work as promised. If not, you can begin to assess any gaps and close them before they become problematic. Stay engaged with the client to finish the project well, measuring and communicating progress through to the end. Be sure to celebrate successes with your client and draw up next steps to enhance or expand on the foundation you've built.
Don't miss opportunities to create long-term value. Being able to speak confidently and clearly articulate business value if it's ever called into question, will help to establish you as a trusted business partner, drive growth and ensure successful long-term relationships.
Contracts should clearly articulate services to be performed, timelines for completion, and payment terms and conditions. Here are 6 best practices for drafting the right contract for your independent consulting services.
When it comes to consulting, your reputation can be everything—so why risk it? Here's how to keep your record clean and your clients satisfied.

High-voltage isolators are rated for 15 kV
Post a comment
Carrollton, Tex. TT electronics OPTEK Technology has developed a series of axial optical isolators using plastic optical fiber. Providing a solution to isolate high-voltage input/output circuits over varying distances, key applications for the OPI1270 series include industrial, medical, and office equipment, as well as electrical isolation circuits in harsh environments.
The OPI1270 axial fiber-optic isolators are constructed using a visible red LED emitter and a phototransistor detector in separate opaque molded plastic modules, linked by a shrouded optical cable that shields the optical signal from dust and other contaminations. The isolators are connected by a flexible optical cable in standard isolation distances of 18 mm (0.71 inch), 26 mm (1.02 inch), 32 mm (1.26 inch), 40 mm (1.57 inch), 66 mm (2.60 inch) or 80 mm (3.15 inch). Custom cable lengths are also available and the emitter's design does not require the sensor housings to be in precise optical alignment, said OPTEK.
The OPI1270 series isolators are rated for 15 kV and carry a power dissipation rating of 100 mW. The AlInGaP LED (emitter) emits red light with a peak wavelength of 645 nm. The phototransistor (sensor) exhibits a maximum collector current of 50 mA (VCE=10V, EE=0). Collector-emitter breakdown voltage is 33 V (min.), and emitter-collector breakdown voltage is 5.5 V (min.) (both measured at 100 uA, EE=0). The operating temperature range is -20°C to +75°C. The isolator series conforms to UL Standard 1577 (File #E58730).
The isolators are compatible with high temperature soldering processes of 260°C and are RoHS compliant. Custom specifications, including electrical specifications as well as special connectors or cabling configurations, are available.
Pricing: Approximately $3.22 each in quantities of 10,000.
Availability: Production quantity delivery, if stock is not available, is six to eight weeks.

I received a copy of 101 Kids Activities for my review. My opinions are 100% my own!
I long for Summer every single year and then once it's here I feel like I start planning for Fall almost weeks into vacation. It's a little crazy. I believe it all stems from the fact that for me Fall is kind of like my new year. It gives me a clean slate at school and new slew of students to work with, which is a challenge and a blessing all at once. There is one thing that I undeniably love about Fall though and that's APPLES. I've created everything from muffins to cupcakes to pies that include apples in them. This time I was absolutely inspired by the fabulous book 101 Kids Activities from Holly Homer & Rachel Miller. They have an Edible Playdough recipe that got me thinking about my love of Fall. We created an Apple Cinnamon Playdough that is edible and smells amazing!

This peer reviewed article was published by the Indiana University Business school in "Business Horizons".
The article explores mistake proofing techniques in healthcare. We pay particular attention to the Collaborative Care Unit at ThedaCare where we describe both Jidoka and poka-yoke. Both concepts involve stopping the process.Jidoka involves stopping the line in order to solve problems. Poka-yoke stops the process in order to restore the process to it's proper running parameters,or to remove the causes of defects.
John Grout gives us some fascinating real life examples of how health care organizations have implemented error proofing techniques. We hope this gives you some new ideas on improving safety at your institution.
