Handbook of Public Administration (1989) pp. 225-251 Published by Marcel Dekker
Herbert Simon and Charles Lindblom are the most influential proponents. Decision-making is an interdisciplinary field: political science, public administration, economics, statistics, social psychology, etc. The pre-world war II period From its origin, the decision-making literature was preoccupied with the feasibility of rationality in the context of conflicting political values. Classical public administration introduced POSDCORB (planning, organizing, staffing, directing, coordinating, reporting, budgeting) as an acronym for the work of the chief executive (Gulick and Urwick 1937) and was of prescriptive nature. The first th have an interest in the actual process of decision making was Barnard (1938). He marked a transition between classical and behavioural apporaches to organizational decision making. The 1945-1970 period A. Simon and Bounded Rationality In "Administrative Behavior" (1947), Simon declared efficiency as the primary objective of the administration. His main question is how to achieve efficiency under the limits of human cognition and the consequent limits on individuals and organizations to behave rationally. This research on "bounded rationality" has become the so-called Carnegie School. While individuals fall short of achieving rationality, organizations can achieve it by means of specialization, selective attention and limitation of the values to be considered. Behavior falls chort of rationality in at least 3 ways: (1) knowledge of the consequences of choice is always incomplete (2) individuals' valuation of future consequences is imperfect; (3) only a few and not all possible alternatives are considered. Simon distinguished between value statement (i.e. statements of ends that express the popular will and belong to the political realm) and factual statements, which identify the empirical relationship between a desired end and the most efficient means to achieve it and belong to the realm of administration. However, every value is only a means to attain some higher value. "Rationality has to do with the construction of means-ends chains of this kind" (Simon 1947: 62). Later, March and Simon (1958) distinguish between optimal and satisfactory alternatives. In the first case (model of economic rationality), all possible alternatives are judged on a set of criteria and the optimal alternative is the one that scores best. Satisfactory alternatives (model of 'intended rationality') in contrast meet or exceed a set of minimal criteria, but it might not be the best alternative that exists. This leads to the well-known distinction between maximizing and 'satisficing' behavior. B. Lindblom and disjointed incrementalism Incrementalism by Lindblom (also called the method of successive limited comparisons, the branch method or disjointed incrementalism) also questions comprehensive rationality and stresses the limits of human cognition. The selection of value goals and means is seen to be interdependent, because goals are selected on the basis of what is attainable. Like Simon, ends become means to still more remote ends. But Lindblom says more clearly that it is not possible to distinguish ends and means. Valuas cannot be specified in the abstract, because inividuals disagree about them (there are even contradictions in one's own value set). It is only in the concrete decision situation that values are clarified and chosen and traded off against one another, because what is desired depends on the specific situation (e.g. existing level of unemployment and inflation). The number of alternatives that are compared is limited and some outcomes are neglected. The alternatives considered are the ones that are similar to the status quo and that are only incrementally different from each other. In a normative perspective, good policy decisions are those which achieve a broad political consensus ('partisan mutual adjustement', Lindblom 1965). Given humans limitations, Lindblom claimed the incremental process to be superior. These normative aspects of the theory, in particular, have been questioned. Policy decision, according to Lindblom, are (1) serial (most policy problems are treated several times and cannot be solved once and for all), (2) remedial (as they always address a problem), (3) marginal, as they differ little from the status quo and from one another. C. Wildavsky and budgetary decision making Incrementalism has dominated research on budgeting decisions with computer simulations. Disciples of Simon, too, have applied their 'process models' modeling sequences of decisions. The 1970s Brought a lot of criticisms of Lindblom's theory, not only of its normative but also of its descriptive claims. The impossibility of planned rational decisions and large or fundamental change was criticized by Ethioni and Dror, who both proposed their own descriptive and normative models (mixed-scanning and normative optimum model, respectively). The 1980s Research on incrementalism and bounded rationality continues, but reaches disparate results as to the quality of the decisions and predictions. One of the guiding questions in decision making research is the role knowledge, intelligence or information and analysis play in organizational decision making. In 1967, Wilensky identified hierarchy (conductive to concealment), specialization (conductive to rivalry and parochialism) and centralization (out of touch) to impair a smooth flow of information. With the eyplosion in the amount of information, the role of the expert has gained importance. In spite of many shortcomings concerning the use of information, the rational model remains the ideal in the literature.

Syria Forces Shell Rebel Stronghold of Homs, Six Reported Killed
Syrian Observatory for Human also reports fierce clashes between security forces and army defectors on the outskirts of Aleppo, in Syria's north.
Syrian troops on Sunday shelled the dissident province of Homs for the second consecutive day, reported opposition activists.
Mortar shells have been fired on the districts of al-Khalidiya and al-Bayada in Homs since early Sunday, said the opposition Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. At least six people were reported killed, and several houses were destroyed in the bombardment.
Fierce clashes were, meanwhile, reported between security forces and army defectors on the outskirts of Aleppo, in Syria's north, added the London-based observatory. The city's police station was bombed overnight, said the group, reporting no casualty figures.
The violence came one day after the United Nations Security Council voted to authorize the deployment of an advance team of 30 unarmed military personnel in Syria to monitor a fragile ceasefire, which went into effect on Thursday.
The truce, marred by violations, is part of an international plan to end a 13-month conflict in Syria, which the UN estimates to have killed more than 9,000 people.

CLEVELAND — The Cavaliers against the Sacramento Kings in a best-of-seven series would be a classic — for all the wrong reasons.
On a Wednesday night when it was a shame someone had to win, the Kings emerged with a 97-94 victory.
The approximate 7,000 fans who actually showed up — paid attendance was announced as 12,331 — got to see a game for the (dark) ages.
When it was (finally) over, the Kings (12-20) had improved their road record to 2-13 against the hapless Cavs (7-26), who are now 3-11 when they have home-court disadvantage.
More photos below.
Cleveland's record also fell to 2-9 in games decided by four points or less, an indication the players may not be the only ones coming up short in crunch time.
"We can't take a play off," said coach Byron Scott, who had Shaun Livingston, Dion Waiters, Alonzo Gee, Luke Walton and Tristan Thompson on the floor to start the fourth quarter. "We can't take a quarter off. We can't take a half a quarter off. We just can't do that."
Try as it might, Cleveland did not completely secure defeat until the bitter end, as Sacramento's Aaron Brooks missed the second of two free throws with 2.0 seconds left.
The Cavs out of timeouts, Kyrie Irving, who committed all three of his turnovers in the final 3:50, drew iron on a 60-foot heave. The only conclusion more fitting in this game would have been for the shot to go in, because it came after the buzzer and wouldn't have counted.
"They competed," Scott said of his players. "They played hard. The only problem is I don't think we played hard enough, long enough."
Cleveland led 90-89 when Irving (22 points, five rebounds, six assists) hit two free throws with 1:12 left, but Sacramento's John Salmons, who had seven points, five fouls and three turnovers in 32 minutes, answered with a 3-pointer from the corner.
Irving then slipped in the key and threw the ball away with 38.1 seconds to go, a mistake from which the Cavs never recovered.
Brooks followed by blowing by the Cleveland point guard for the second time in the final minutes to put the Kings up 94-90 with 18.2 ticks on the clock.
A short Irving jumper made it a two-point game with 12.3 seconds left, with Jimmer Fredette hitting two free throws for the Kings and Waiters scoring off a rebound with 3.2 ticks on the clock to set up the game-ending sequence.
A talented power forward named (Jason) Thompson led the Kings with 19 points and 10 rebounds, while 6-foot-11, 270-pound DeMarcus Cousins, who has been suspended twice by the league this season and once by the Kings, had 18 points, 16 boards and six assists.
Cousins' numbers across the board could have been substantially bigger, but in keeping with the overall caliber of decision-making in this game, the Kings often went minutes without letting their 22-year-old center touch the ball.
As it was, the bigger and stronger Kings still outscored the Anderson Varejao-less Cavs 52-36 in the paint.
"It doesn't help when you don't have Andy," Scott said. "Most of the teams we've played who are physical, he's the one equalizer down there."
On the offensive end, the Cavs shot .391 from the field (34-for-87) and went 5-for-21 from long range.
Coming off the bench for the first time in his career — and not totally happy about it — Waiters had a stretch where he shot the ball every time he touched it.
The rookie had 20 points, but they weren't a pretty 20. He was 3-for-10 from the field at one point, got most of his eight field goals (in 19 attempts) on layups and continued his season-long trend of taking lame-brain jumpers with a ton of time on the shot clock.
"I'm just here to do whatever the team needs me to do," the disgruntled 21-year-old said. "That's what it was tonight. Coach made a change and I just have to go out there and play."
Fellow No. 4 overall draft pick Tristan Thompson, who did manage 13 rebounds, was an even-worse 4-for-12 from the field, with all his misses coming within 6 feet of the basket.
C.J. Miles, who started in place of Waiters, had 12 points — all in the first half — on 4-for-13 shooting and, as is so often the case, did absolutely nothing else.
That was in sharp contrast to Luke Walton, who was so good, bad and ugly he went, on more than one occasion, from being the best player on the court to the worst in a matter of seconds.
Walton blocked a shot, took a couple charges and threw a bounce pass between his legs, but he also attempted seven shots and made just two of them.
In many ways, though, the 10th-year pro was ideal for a game between two bad teams that are perfect match for one another.
"It's just a learning process," Irving said. "(The Kings) did a great job of executing in the fourth quarter and got stops when they needed to."

More than 350 potential sites for new homes, jobs and development opportunities have been submitted to Bedford Borough Council.
The council launched the Local Plan earlier this year which will help to shape the futire growth of the borough up to 2032.
Suggestions were invited by the council for parts of the borough that could be used for new developments and as a result more than 350 sites have been submitted.
Officials are now in the process of collating the information received and have published for information all the sites which the council has been asked to consider.
At this stage, no decisions have been made as to which sites should be included in the Local Plan. Once the sites have been chosen, they will be subject to public consultation.
Sites include Bedford St John's old station site and goods yard; land south of the junction of Paula Radcliffe Way and Clapham Road, Bedford.
Villages listed include: Biddenham, Bletsoe, Bolnhurst and Keysoe, Bromham, Cardington, Carlton, Clapham, Colmworth, Cople, Dean and Shelton, Great Barford, Great Denham, Harrold, Kempston Rural, Knotting and Souldrop, Little Staughton, Milton Ernest, Oakley, Odell, Pavenham, Ravensden, Renhold, Riseley, Roxton, Sharnbrook, Stagsden, Staploe and Duloe, Stevington, Stewartby, Thurleigh, Turvey, Wilden, Willington, Wilstead, Wootton.
For the detailed list of sites visit: www.bedford.gov.uk/localplan2032
Councillor Sarah-Jayne Holland said: "The council has received a large number of proposals for sites to be allocated for development in the Local Plan 2032 from landowners, individuals and others. It is vital that growth is managed sustainably, and that development supports sustainable communities. That's why decisions on the extent, the nature and location of development to be planned for are so important, and why these proposals which have been submitted to the council need to be considered carefully."

What can we say, other than: It's about time! After defying gravity for weeks, and ignoring numerous warning signs I've pointed out on this page, stocks have gotten rapped on the knuckles over the past few sessions. The Dow plunged 214 points on Tuesday, wiping out all its gains dating back to February 3.
There's a lesson in that, too. As a little gem of Wall Street wisdom puts it, "Stocks take the stairs up, but the elevator down." The market chewed through 41 sessions to win the ground it has just given back over the past five. Far better to sell a few days—even a few weeks—early, than a few days too late.
But we're not doing any selling now. That would be slamming the barn door shut after the horse had already bolted.
As of this afternoon's close, stocks are deeply oversold on a short-term basis. Trading volume in declining NYSE stocks has swamped that in advancers by a 2:1 margin over the past 10 days.
Yes, it's possible for the ratio to go to even greater extremes. (We saw 3:1 during the panic last August.) Chances are, though, we're close to a tradable bottom. I look for the market to bounce back to the area of its April 2 highs by late this month.
Still, I advise you to buy judiciously and selectively at this point. While a few market sectors offer excellent value at current levels, many others are still overpriced. It will probably take another summer thunderstorm (similar to those of 2010 and 2011) to wash out the excess and give us a strong market-wide buy signal.
What should you be accumulating now? Oils. Oils. Oils. Did I make myself clear? Oils.
The emerging economies of the world are devouring more and more oil each year. More automobiles are now sold in China than in the United States. Hundreds of millions of people in China, India and Brazil are never going to ride bicycles to work again.
In other words, while there may be violent short-term swings in the price of crude, the long-term trend, in "real" (inflation-adjusted) dollars, points in only one direction: up. Well-managed oil producers that keep a handle on their operating costs will continue to reap enormous profits.
I've been loading up on Royal Dutch Shell (NYSE:RDS.B[1]) in recent days. Starting with the June payment, Shell will increase its dividend to 86 cents per share quarterly. That works out to a yield of just over 5% at today's closing price.
In this risky, scary world, it's almost impossible to nail down a 5% yield on a business as safe (pretty much inflation-proof and recession-proof) as Shell. I plan to make RDS.B one of my "monster" stock positions, eventually rivaling McDonald's (NYSE:MCD[2]) in size.
I'm also building a large stake in France's Total (NYSE:TOT[3]). News from the company's Elgin platform in the North Sea is mildly encouraging; the gas flare has gone out, substantially reducing the risk of an explosion. Current yield: 6.2%.
By the way, I understand that if you own TOT in a (taxable) individual or joint account, the French government imposes only a 15% withholding tax on your dividends. Unfortunately, I own the stock in a trust account, so—for some reason known only to lawyers—I have to pay 25% tax. In the end, though, I expect that the capital gains I earn from TOT will dwarf any dividend slippage from the withholding tax.
Besides Royal Dutch and Total, I'm bulking up on Occidental Petroleum (NYSE:OXY[4]), too—the third oil stock in our model portfolio. OXY features a more modest dividend yield (only 2.4% at last glance).
However, this outfit is one of the world's most efficient finders and producers of crude, with an astounding 27.7% net profit margin (after taxes) in 2011. If it's long-term growth you're after, very few large-cap oils are likely to match OXY.
From here, I think the stock can generate a total return (dividends plus capital appreciation) of 30% in the next 12 months, and a double over the next three to four years.

Prime Minister David Cameron urged the British press to quickly set up a new press regulator created in an agreement arising from the phone-hacking scandal. Under the deal announced Monday, the newspaper industry lost its power to veto appointments to the body that replaces the Press Complaints Commission, discredited because it didn\'t investigate phone hacking by leading newspapers, The Guardian reported Tuesday. \"It is a neat solution,\" Cameron said of the proposal. \"It is not a panacea.\" Cameron, quoting Labor Party lawmaker Gerald Kaufman, said it\'s \"closing time in the last chance saloon. This replaces a failed regulatory system with one that will work because it has some real independence at its heart and is going to be properly overseen without allowing Parliament to endlessly interfere.\" He said the new royal charter sets up the body to recognize the regulator but it remains a voluntary choice for the industry to decide whether to set up the system of independent regulation. If newspapers refuse to cooperate with the regulator, or set up a panel unacceptable to the new recognition committee, the publications could be more liable for damages if they recklessly publish inaccurate stories, The Guardian said. The prime minister\'s office said smaller, Web-based news providers, social networking sites and blogs would not be required to cooperate with the new regulatory system. This is a political deal between the [political] parties and Hacked Off,\" an advocacy group for those whose phones were hacked, one newspaper group executive said. \"It is not a deal with the newspapers.\" In a statement, Associated Newspapers, News International, Telegraph Media Group and Northern & Shell said they would seek \"high-level legal advice\" before deciding whether to join the new watchdog. \"No representative of the newspaper and magazine industry had any involvement in, or indeed any knowledge of, the cross-party talks on press regulation that took place on Sunday night,\" the statement said. Associated Newspapers, News International and Telegraph Media Group had been considering a possible boycott of the regulator and establishing their own body if they think press freedoms are threatened, The Guardian said.

Love and prayers,
Donna & Sam
Please accept my deep regrets for your loss. You don't know me but I wanted to share what helped me when I lost my whole family to this enemy death that always brings pain and grief. I found comfort and hope in what Jehovah Gods word the Bible says at John11:11 and Mark5:39 that they're just asleep and Jesus also states at John5:28,29 that I'll see them again and this helps me get through each day because I miss them so much. I truly hope this has helped in some way because this is my purpose in sharing this with you. Please know I share your grief and you're in my thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely, Gloria Mosley

New Costco Coming to Cumming!
Posted by Sherry and Maria Team on Thursday, June 13th, 2013 at 6:24pm.
Yes, the rumor is true. A new Costco store is coming to Cumming, GA. This 152,000 square foot store will be located at the intersection of Marketplace Blvd and Bald Ridge Marina Rd. They have already begun developing the land. The new store is due to open by Thanksgiving this year! If you're a Costco fan and live in Forsyth, you will love having this store closer than the Alpharetta store on Windward. Everyone I've talked to is really excited about having a Costco nearby.
Did you know you can follow Costco on Facebook? I do and asked them for the bag of rawhides they had run out of. They actually answered me and the next time I went to Costco, the bones were back! I was happy but not as happy as Dakota, my dog.
Now we just need a Whole Foods, Trader Joes or something of that sort and we won't have to leave the county!
Look for more store openings soon at The Collection (formerly known as The Avenue Forsyth). The new owners are talking to both retail stores and more exciting new restaurants. We'll keep you posted on what we hear.
Also, did you hear about the new steak house going in at Vickery? The west side of Forsyth is really growing up too! There are a few new stores in Vickery and we're looking forward to more that will be coming as well as this new restaurant. The Vickery area is also getting a new Atlanta Fitness and this one will include a lap pool and basketball court in addition to the incredible fitness facility they always provide.
So on top of the new home construction springing up everywhere, we are getting some new retail growth as well. This is good for the tax base of Forsyth County in addition to convenience for residents.
Here's to an exciting 2013 and many more to come!
Are you excited about any of the new restaurants or stores coming to the North Atlanta area? Let us know about any new developments you've heard about below; we'd love to hear from you!
Planning to sell your home in Alpharetta, Cumming, Johns Creek, Milton, Roswell or surrounding areas of North Atlanta Georgia? Contact the Sherry and Maria Team today to schedule an in-home consultation. We are Cumming, Georgia real estate specialists with both sellers and buyers agents and we will help to make this experience the best it can be.

ExtraHop, a company that provides wire data analytics for IT operations, announced today that it has raised $41 million in a third round of funding led by Technology Crossover Ventures.
The term "wire data" doesn't mean much to most of us. But for those working in IT operations, it's essential. Wire data refers to all of the information passing between networked components. Understanding what that data means helps IT folks quickly isolate problems on their network.
ExtraHop says it will use the new funding to continue building its wire data analytics solution as well as expand into new markets. The company claims it grew its revenue by 150 percent last year, and its customers include Morgan Stanley, Lockheed Martin, and Purdue Pharma.
Seattle, Washington-based ExtraHop has now raised a total of $61.6 million. Its other investors include Meritech Capital Partners, Madrona Venture Group, Sujal Patel, and others.

Neverending Television
60 Minutes, 1968
In this age of twitter, blogs and always-breaking cable news, it's easy to forget that the pressures on long-form journalism are actually old problems. When legendary CBS producer Don Hewitt launched 60 Minutes four decades ago, he was on a mission to give more attention to stories that had previously been crunched and dumbed down to fit into the networks' evening news. But from the first seconds of its signature ticking stopwatch to the last ramblings of Andy Rooney, 60 Minutes consistently sets the standard for enterprising, in-depth TV journalism. And whether they're showing off hidden camera footage or brandishing documentary evidence of government malfeasance, no segment would be complete without the well-lit in-depth interviews that have made correspondents like Morley Safer and Lesley Stahl as famous as the news stories they've covered.

BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. - Sigma Autosport announced today that Massimiliano (Max) Papis, one of the top stars in the CART FedEx Championship Series, has signed a contract to drive the ...
BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. - Sigma Autosport announced today that Massimiliano (Max) Papis, one of the top stars in the CART FedEx Championship Series, has signed a contract to drive the #22 Champ Car in 2002.
Papis, 32, of Como, Italy, who now resides in Miami Beach, Fla., is not only a "fan favorite," but also a top contender in the FedEx Championship with the Sigma Autosport Champ Car.
"Since I was a little kid I dreamed about racing and winning, but I also imagined how and what tools were necessary to accomplish my goal," said Papis. "If today I can consider myself among an elite group of drivers that compete in one of the most prestigious world championships, it's because I was able to follow my path with will and dedication, believing in myself, my values and always working for the team.
Dedication is one of the key elements at Sigma Autosport and Papis agrees.
"I am glad to have found in Tom Wieringa and his organization a very similar mentality that I have," said Papis. "Sigma is a very young team with a lot of desire to be at the top of the game."
The 2002 Sigma technical package will be the same as the one Papis successfully raced with in 2001.
After a great partnership in 2001, I'm glad to continue my relation with Ford-Cosworth and Lola Cars," explained Papis. "In 1999, I gave Ford's XF engine the debut win and I'm ready to deliver Sigma's first triumph in 2002."
Sigma owner Tom Wieringa said he looks forward to working with Papis this season.
"We are very happy to have Max come on board with Sigma," said Wieringa. "Having Max on the team, coupled with other recent enhancements positions us a chance to win the CART title. His background, and talent will help the team through this promising season."
Papis began his racing career in go-karts in 1982. He then progressed to the Italian Formula 3 series, and Formula 3000. In 1994, Papis was 5th in the international Formula 3000 series and drove for the Footwork-hart Formula 1 team in 1995. After moving to the IMSA World Sports Car series with Ferrari in 1996, Papis began his CART career that same year with Arciero-Wells Racing.
Papis is coming off an excellent 2001 season in CART, with a win from the pole at Portland, and a well-judged win at Laguna Seca. He ended the season championship 6th overall. Papis is one of only five drivers to score multiple victories and in his last six super speedway races; he led 427 laps, more than double that of any other driver. Overall, he has three victories and two poles in his CART career, nine podium finishes and was named to the inaugural CART All-Star Team in 1999 after a "breakout" season ended with a brilliant fifth place in the championship.
Two weeks ago, Papis set a new track record at the Daytona International Speedway, in Daytona, Fla., while testing for the Rolex 24-Hours endurance race. Papis will participate at the event with Doran Racing on Feb. 1-3.
Sigma Autosport, based in suburban Chicago, begins its second season in the CART FedEx Championship. Sigma was one of the top new teams in CART for 2001.

Lake Park man sentenced for bad checks
Kelly Albert Sansburn, 36, of 2019 Second St., Lake Park, has been sentenced in Becker County District Court for felony issuance of a dishonored check and possession of a counterfeit check.
According to court records:
On Jan. 11, 2008, he wrote a check for $4,448 to Seaberg Yamaha without sufficient funds in his account. Payment was never received.
On that charge, he was sentenced Wednesday by District Judge Peter Irvine to 17 months in prison, execution of sentence stayed five years.
He was placed on supervised probation for five years. He must serve 120 days in jail and pay a $500 fine plus court fees and $800 restitution.
He must also follow the recommendations of the Recovery Works program.
The counterfeit check charge was filed because of three checks totaling $1,975 written to L&M Fleet. Sansburn had changed the account number slightly and changed the routing number on the checks, from TCF Bank in Minneapolis.
He was sentenced to concurrent jail time and a stayed prison sentence on that charge, granted credit for time served, and fined $500 plus court fees and ordered to pay $1,975 restitution.

Hello, is its possible to hide the mainmenu at some pages?
Hi designkolchose,
Yes, its possible. Kindly post the pages that you want the main menu hidden.
Is there a shortcode or something?
e.g. there is a page http://www.mydomain/test/ and I want that there is NO Mainmenu on this page! How can I do this to hide the mainmenu just on this page?
Hi designkolchose,
You would be needing firebug and a custom code snippet. This can be done via css and not by shortcode. This is the custom code snippet:
.page-id-no .menu-main-menu-container {
display: none;
just inspect your page using firebug and check the page-id-no of that specific page and replace the no with the right number.
Wohooo…. its works!
thanks a lot Ismael !!!!

BBW: 133 BOOK BOXED SET – Lovely Romance And
Today's Free Kindle eBook: BBW: 133 BOOK BOXED SET – Lovely Romance And Hot Shifter, BBW, Billionaire, Historical, BWWM Short Stories
:: READ Absolutely FREE With KINDLE UNLIMITED
Kendra was happy to finally get out of her hometown. She was going on a trip to a great ski resort that was on the other side of the country. Being out of the backwoods Kentucky area was almost a relief to her, and she wondered if maybe there was something else that she could do. She was happy to finally get the freedom that she needed, and it was certainly something that she wanted more than anything else.
Cindy Hewes arrived at work, tugging at her snugly fitting business dress. It was time for another day of the same old thing. She sighed, and laboriously trudged to her cubicle. It was the furthest workspace from the door, so she had to move past almost everyone on her floor before arriving at her desk. This wouldn't be a big deal for most people, but Cindy was a big girl who happened to be very well-endowed, and walking through narrow rows of chairs and people got pretty awkward sometimes.
Jack ran down the hall, not sure what he should do. He was really angry that anybody would dare to question his decisions about his own company, especially somebody who he thought that he could trust. They had been friends for so long that he didn't think that Zoe would ever dare to make him feel as if he were making a mistake with his own company. He couldn't get over the fact that she had produced his ego so severely, and she didn't seem to care how he felt about it and just spoke her opinion anyway.
For young Maya, she knew that her life was destined to be one that was going to be hard. She knew that at the age of 19, since she didn't have a husband or anyone who would take her, she would have to do this in order to pay off her debts. Of course, being a geisha at a brothel was not something that she expected, and she always thought that maybe one day, one day in the future, she would be able to get out of this.
To say that Carrie was excited to see her best friend again after about five years was something of a bit of an understatement. She practically ran off the plane and to the airport terminal when she heard that she would be able to go back and see her best friend Terry. She missed the man, and when she got out of the baggage claim, she saw him there. He was a beautiful white man, with black hair, big blue eyes, and a warm smile. Carrie loved this, and she could feel the flush start to form on her face. Her ebony skin helped mask the blush, but she could feel her nervous habits start to become a bit more apparent.

Rig safety ballot call rejected
BP Amoco has rejected a call to ballot workers on proposals to replace stand-by vessels around North Sea oil platforms with helicopters.
Unions had insisted that a vote was the only way to establish staff views.
The two sides have met for three hours in Aberdeen, during which management said they were not prepared to hold a ballot.
A spokesman said the company was committed to the fullest possible consultation with staff and the results would be fed back to the workforce.
A number of MPs, the IUOOC and the Emergency Response and Rescue Vessel Association (Errva) have come together to oppose the BP Amoco's move.
Helicopters were "complementary" to the work of rescue vessels, which must remain the hub of the service to protect lives offshore, according to the association.
BP Amoco plans to locate four dedicated emergency response helicopters offshore, each with a 10-minute response time.
Two other helicopters based onshore would have a one-hour response time. The platforms would also have fast rescue craft launched by crane.
BP Amoco operates more than 50 fixed platforms in 38 fields throughout the North Sea.

I had hoped to move on to other topics today but several commenters have raised some questions that I will respond to today and tomorrow. One is why some of the people in the Mavi Marmara resisted when those in the other boats, such as the Rachel Corrie, did not and were taken captive without violence. Thus, it is implied, the people who tried to repel the boarders were responsible for the ugly turn of events.
One of the people on the Mavi Marmara who did offer resistance was a former US marine named Ken O'Keefe whose first-person testimony as to what happened and why he did it is worth reading in full. Here is a part of it:
I remember being asked during the TJP Human Shield Action to Iraq if I was a pacifist, I responded with a quote from Gandhi by saying I am not a passive anything. To the contrary I believe in action, and I also believe in self-defence, 100 per cent, without reservation. I would be incapable of standing by while a tyrant murders my family, and the attack on the Mavi Marmara was like an attack on my Palestinian family. I am proud to have stood shoulder to shoulder with those who refused to let a rogue Israeli military exert their will without a fight.
And yes, we fought.
When I was asked, in the event of an Israeli attack on the Mavi Marmara, would I use the camera, or would I defend the ship? I enthusiastically committed to defence of the ship. Although I am also a huge supporter of non-violence, in fact I believe non-violence must always be the first option. Nonetheless I joined the defence of the Mavi Mamara understanding that violence could be used against us and that we may very well be compelled to use violence in self defence.
I said this straight to Israeli agents, probably of Mossad or Shin Bet, and I say it again now, on the morning of the attack I was directly involved in the disarming of two Israeli Commandos. This was a forcible, non-negotiable, separation of weapons from commandos who had already murdered two brothers that I had seen that day. One brother with a bullet entering dead center in his forehead, in what appeared to be an execution.
I knew the commandos were murdering when I removed a 9mm pistol from one of them. I had that gun in my hands and as an ex-US Marine with training in the use of guns it was completely within my power to use that gun on the commando who may have been the murderer of one of my brothers. But that is not what I, nor any other defender of the ship did. I took that weapon away, removed the bullets, proper lead bullets, separated them from the weapon and hid the gun. I did this in the hopes that we would repel the attack and submit this weapon as evidence in a criminal trial against Israeli authorities for mass murder. I also helped to physically separate one commando from his assault rifle, which another brother apparently threw into the sea.
I and hundreds of others know the truth that makes a mockery of the brave and moral Israeli military. We had in our full possession, three completely disarmed and helpless commandos. These boys were at our mercy, they were out of reach of their fellow murderers, inside the ship and surrounded by 100 or more men. I looked into the eyes of all three of these boys and I can tell you they had the fear of God in them. They looked at us as if we were them, and I have no doubt they did not believe there was any way they would survive that day. They looked like frightened children in the face of an abusive father.
But they did not face an enemy as ruthless as they. Instead the woman provided basic first aid, and ultimately they were released, battered and bruised for sure, but alive. Able to live another day. Able to feel the sun over head and the embrace of loved ones. Unlike those they murdered. Despite mourning the loss of our brothers, feeling rage towards these boys, we let them go.
Unarmed resistance was undoubtedly ill-advised in the face of heavily armed commandos. As the cliché goes, you don't take a knife to a gunfight. But to blame the people on the boat for the violence is like asking why some people resist being robbed even when confronted with an armed assailant. The strong sense of injustice felt by victims of a crime, coupled with the instinct to defend oneself and protect one's property is strong and can overcome the desire for self-preservation. No one would accept a defense that an assailant should be exonerated from the charge of murder because he was forced to kill because the victim defended himself or herself from attack.
In response to the suggestion that Israel's deadly reaction was justified because they were provoked by this attempt to break the siege of Gaza, I will quote Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous Letter from Birmingham Jail written in response to those white clergymen concerned that the actions of the civil rights movement were provoking violence. In it he said, "In your statement you assert that our actions, even though peaceful, must be condemned because they precipitate violence. But is this a logical assertion? Isn't this like condemning a robbed man because his possession of money precipitated the evil act of robbery? … Society must protect the robbed and punish the robber."
What some seem to be arguing is that people must immediately agree to any Israeli demand, whatever it is and whenever and wherever it occurs, otherwise they are deemed responsible for any ensuing violence. Why does Israel or the US have this unique privilege of expecting immediate and unconditional surrender? Right now Iran and North Korea have every right to feel they are under threat of attack because of the relentless belligerent language emanating from Washington. They have every right to suspect that the CIA is funding and fomenting internal resistance and opposition to their governments. Does this give them the right to board any boats in international waters beyond their maritime boundary and search them simply because they have suspicions that they might contain material to be delivered to their opponents? Should the people in such boats immediately capitulate to those demands and agree to have their boats taken for search and inspection and confiscation of the goods? If the people resisted and were killed, would we claim that the Iranians and North Koreans were justified in killing them?
Robert Fisk draws another parallel, comparing Israel's actions with those of the Somali pirates now threatening all shipping off the coast of their country, and the determined effort of Israeli propaganda to paint all the aid activists as militant jihadis.
In the next post, I will examine the issues of legality and morality.

The Eel River Task Force, a recently-formed coalition of stakeholders including public agencies, tribes, conservation groups, and others, met at Benbow last Wednesday, Jan. 23 to finalize its charter, discuss the role of public participation, and hear presentations on water quality issues in the Eel River watershed.
ERTF has been criticized by some observers and by at least one of its members, the Eel River Recovery Project, for holding closed meetings at which the public and media were not welcome. (See related story about ERRP in this issue.)
But last Wednesday, reporters for KMUD Radio and local newspapers were admitted to the meeting at the Benbow RV Resort Village Hall without incident, as were approximately three dozen members of the public.
ERTF was first convened by Darren Mierau, the manager of California Trout's North Coast region in July, 2012. "The Eel River has suffered from a lack of cohesive attention," Mierau explained to the public. "I saw the need to bring stakeholders together" to work collaboratively on salmonid restoration.
The 21 charter members of the task force include four federal agencies, four California state agencies, three county agencies, two tribes, and six non-governmental organizations involved in salmonid restoration, as well as the Potter Valley Irrigation District and Pacific Gas and Electric.
The ERTF has been meeting monthly since last July, rotating the meetings among Fortuna, Garberville, and Willits. Last Wednesday was the second meeting in the Garberville area.
At the first meetings, ERTF members discussed a charter drafted by Mierau and determined that the task force should begin by focusing on monitoring with a "broad ecosystem approach."
Various facets of monitoring were the subjects of the November and December meetings. Mierau said he hoped there would be more time for discussion and brainstorming among the members.
"There are a lot of people doing a lot of good work," he said, adding that he hoped the group "can stay focused on dominant issues that can be worked on in collaboration."
Mierau listed ERTF's accomplishments so far as a nearly completed charter, a nearly completed listserve and website, an "excellent" information exchange among members, and a monitoring goals subcommittee made up of representatives from National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW, formerly the Department of Fish and Game), and himself representing CalTrout.
David Fuller, a trained facilitator with the Bureau of Land Management, has agreed to facilitate future meetings, which was one of the members' requests, but was unable to attend Wednesday's meeting.
During the past month members responded to a written survey about public participation. Ten members said any interested party should be able to attend meetings, eight members felt the meetings should be open to charter members only, and the remaining three selected "other" or no opinion.
Written comments emphasized the collaborative nature of the task force and pointed out that participants had all volunteered to take part.
One suggestion was to allow a "limited open forum time" at the beginning of the meeting during which the public could address the task force.
A written comment asked why ERRP was not allowed to present the results of its monitoring project at the December meeting. Mierau said that was his decision and that results of monitoring were not the agendized topic.
Some members of the group pointed out that the ERTF has no mandate and cannot make decisions, but rather is intended to share information. A representative of ERRP argued that the draft charter states that the group will make recommendations. "This group by its make-up has weight," he said, even though it may have no legal standing.
A representative from the Wiyot tribe countered that he had no authority to accept recommendations for his tribe, and added that recommendations won't be made without consensus, and that the exchange of information alone is valuable.
Informally the group agreed that each of the charter member organizations would have one vote no matter how many representatives come to meetings for discussion.
They also agreed that while consensus is the goal, if consensus can't be reached, a simple majority could be used to make a decision. While one speaker objected that a simple majority would be "divisive," another person said, "If we're that close to 50-50, it's a flag that we need to do more work."
On the subject of public participation, the group generally and informally agreed to make all meetings open to the public, to include a time for public comment on the agenda but to reserve most of the meeting time for presentations and discussion among charter members. Closed sessions could be called as necessary, and no one would be allowed to record or video the proceedings, although detailed meeting notes would be provided to the public.
The latter two points caused some comment from members of the public who wanted to be able to record the meetings for the benefit of people unable to attend and to create an unassailably accurate record of the proceedings.
Representatives of public agencies balked at this. Several said they would not be comfortable participating if they knew every word they spoke would be available to the public. One agency person said, "I'm an engineer, not a manager," and several people agreed that they could not make decisions on behalf of their organizations so it was unreasonable to record their statements.
"The alternative is that any one of us could invite everyone else to their office and have a private conversation, with no public information at all," one member said. This appeared to settle the question among the task force membership.
While no formal decision was made, Mierau agreed to make some revisions to the draft charter and send it around to the membership again before the next meeting. He also said detailed meeting notes would be available by that time.
With the process issues completed for the day, the meeting moved on to presentations.
Brad Job of the Bureau of Land Management spoke about changing water balances and water quality implications in Northwest California. Because of a variety of human impacts in the last 150 years, the hydrologic balance has changed dramatically, with more water being lost from the region than comes in.
While only precipitation - on the North Coast this means rain and fog - brings water into an ecosystem, it can be lost in various ways, such as flowing out to sea, evaporating from surface water, being transpired into the atmosphere from trees, and being caught by vegetation.
Job gave many examples of how human impacts have increased the outflow of water, including logging, clearing land, diverting streamflows to ponds, adding pollutants of many kinds, and climate change generally.
In the last part of his presentation, Job discussed the role of marijuana cultivation on public lands and displayed some ugly pictures of cartel grows that are releasing large amounts of different types of pollutants into streams and groundwater.
But he noted that "Operation Greensweep" techniques are ineffective. Job sees legalization as the key to reducing the impact of cannabis cultivation. "If marijuana was legal, the NRCS (National Resources Conservations District) would come in to tell you to the teaspoon how much fertilizer you need to maximize your crop and minimize pollution," he said.
Segueing from Job's talk, Scott Bauer, staff environmental scientist for CDFW, gave a presentation on studies his agency is conducting on the impact of quasi-legal large scale medical marijuana grows on private lands.
CDFW has documented a wide spectrum of impacts, including erosion and sedimentation of streams, pollution, water diversion, improper construction of ponds and roads leading to failure, illegal logging, clearing of native vegetation, and contaminated soil dumped in streams.
As the price of pot drops, growers plant more to maintain their income, so grow scenes are increasing in size and number.
Currently CDFW has embarked upon new case studies in Salmon Creek and Redwood Creek, tributaries of the South Fork Eel River in Southern Humboldt.
Bauer showed aerial photos with green dots representing greenhouses and red dots for outdoor grows that indicate an increase in both number and size of large outdoor grows in both watersheds.
The only parts of these watersheds that don't have high numbers of grows are the remaining intact ranches, Bauer said.
CDFW's statistical models show that all these operations combined will use 20 to 30 percent of the summer stream flows in the watershed.
Like Job, who pointed out that any type of agriculture is illegal on public land, Bauer emphasized that CDFW is not interested in the type of agriculture but the impacts that are causing harm to wildlife and habitat.
The final presentation was an overview of California water rights law by Matthew McCarthy of the State Water Resources Board. McCarthy was in Sacramento and made his presentation remotely through a live conference call and Power Point.
He described the difference between riparian rights, which are granted to owners of properties on the boundaries of streams, a range of appropriative rights that allow landowners to divert water from a source to non-riparian parcels, and rights granted through permits and licenses for projects that create "beneficial use."
California water rights law is extremely complex, which was illustrated by the discussion about seasonal water storage that followed the presentation.
While riparian rights are granted automatically to anyone whose land borders a stream, the water cannot be "stored in time of plenty for use in time of need," according to the law.
A landowner in this situation who wants to store water in the winter to benefit the fish during the dry season would have to apply for "registration," a special consideration given to landowners who want to use some of their water for wildlife habitat restoration.
But if the watershed is considered "fully appropriated," that is, the State Water Resources Board has determined that no more water can be taken for human use, then the registration will not be approved.
On the positive side - and to the surprise of many in the room, including some CDFW personnel - McCarthy said that no rivers or streams in Humboldt County and only one creek in Mendocino County have been deemed "fully appropriated" by the Water Resources Board.
On the negative side, the fact that a river or stream has not been designated "fully appropriated" does not mean there is actual water available for use.
As the meeting was scheduled to end at 2 p.m. and some of the task force members had long distances to drive, the meeting was adjourned at the end of this discussion.
The ERTF will meet in Willits in February at a time and place to be announced. Mierau has tentatively scheduled topics for the next four meetings, with the February meeting to focus on Total Minimum Daily Loads (TMDLs), the March meeting in Fortuna will look at deltas and estuaries, the meeting in Garberville in April will center on monitoring, and the May meeting in Willits will tackle the Potter Valley Project controversy.

Hinners, Hetletved survive in Executive Championship
BEMIDJI - Stepping off the No. 14 green after halving the hole with a par, Scott Hinners of Bemidji felt confident that his ticket to the Birchmont Executive division championship match had been punched.
After winning No. 11, No. 12 and No. 13 and tying No. 14, Hinners owned a 4 up lead over defending Executive champion Joe Burgess of Woodbury with four holes to play.
"I thought the match was over and I slapped Joe on the back," Hinners said. "But Joe looked at me and said 'We're still playing'.
"That gesture on my part was the kiss of death."
Burgess won the next three holes, one with a birdie and two with pars, and extended the match to No. 18. But his good fortune ran out when he hooked his drive into the pond and eventually conceded the hole.
Hinners did advance to today's Executive championship match and at 10:20 a.m. he will square off with Lee Hetletved of Grand Forks, who rallied to defeat Todd Witkowski of Zeeland, Mich., in 19 holes in Friday's semifinal.
Burgess had honors on the No. 18 tee box and when the drive found the water, Hinners thought that momentum had switched.
"After that shot all I wanted to do was put the drive into the fairway and hit the green with my second shot," Hinners said.
He accomplished that game plan as his drive split the fairway 131 yards from the flag and his approach nestled onto the carpet.
Burgess, who lost a stroke because he found the water, was over the green in three and failed to get down. He conceded the hole and the match before Hinners had to putt.
"I felt elation after the match because I have progressed each day and I have made it to the championship match," Hinners said. "In my 27 years of playing I have never made it this far and I think my inexperience showed. I was also playing the defending champion who had that experience.
"My plan on Saturday is to play my regular game, pretend it's Saturday morning (with his buddies) and see what happens when we get off the 18th green," he added.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24 (UPI) -- The Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota and the Pew Center on the States released an influenza pandemic database.
In an effort to better inform public health planners about the potential of an influenza pandemic, CIDRAP and the Pew Center on the States, a division of the Pew Charitable Trusts, released a Web-based resource called Pandemic Practices.
With more than 130 peer-reviewed promising practices from four countries, 22 states and 33 counties, the Web site brings together best practices as a resource to help communities save time and resources and enable public health professionals to build on their own pandemic plans by learning from each other.
"The federal government has a national plan in place for a flu epidemic," said Jim O'Hara, managing director of Health and Human Services Policy at The Pew Charitable Trusts, in a statement. "But that plan will be useless unless states and local communities are ready and able to handle a public health emergency on the ground.
"Communities across the country are facing the challenge of translating broad requirements into local action, often with limited resources. This database is an excellent tool to help public health officials inform their own pandemic planning and may save valuable time and resources that would be spent crafting strategies from scratch."
Officials estimate that the seasonal flu hospitalizes more than 200,000 and kills approximately 36,000 Americans. Additionally, in a recent report on the potential financial impact of an influenza pandemic, there could be up to $4.4 trillion global cost.
"It is crucial that states, counties and cities continually enhance their preparedness for pandemic influenza," said Michael Osterholm CIDRAP director. "This online database represents an important step by providing concrete, peer-reviewed materials to further public health preparedness."

One More River
I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THE QUESTIONS MOST ASKED of me by Jews are "how" questions. I am recognized as a Buddhist. I am also-and have become much more open about this part in the last few years-an observant Jew. No only more open, but also more observant. Because I am a Buddhist. Because I have a meditation practice. So the questions now are: "How did that happen?" "What is your practice?" "Do you pray?" "To whom?" "Why?" "Do you also do metta (lovingkindness) practice?" "When do you do what?" "Why?" "What are your'observances,'and why do you do them?" "How do you deal with the patriarchal tone of Jewish prayers?" 'What is your relationship to the Torah?" 'To Buddhist scripture?" Most of all, "How can you be a Buddhist and a Jew?" And, 'Can I?"
The answer to the "how" questions requires that I tell my personal story. Certainly not my story as a prescription for anyone else, but to explain how my Buddhism has made me more passionately alive as a Jew. And how my re newed Judaism has made me a better Buddhist teacher.
When I realized the degree of personal exposure that telling my story would require, I became alarmed that I was going to rock the boat. I had been quietly enjoying a privat life as a Jew and some new, pleasant recognition as a Buddhist teacher. I had been accepting invitations for som years to teach Jewish groups, and although I had worried initially that they would be hostile about my Buddhism, they weren't. They invited me back. Then I worried about the Buddhists.
"What if the Buddhists get mad at me for not renouncing Judaism?"
Clearly, this was my issue, not anyone else's. No one is mad at me. I've been announcing myself, regularly, at Buddhist teachers' meetings, and it causes no ripple at all. I feel anticipatory alarm, I tell my truth, and it is completely a nonevent.
Recently I was one of twenty-six teachers meeting with the Dalai Lama in Dharamsala, India, to discuss how we are teaching Buddhism in the West. As part of the preparation for our meeting, we each answered the question, "What is the greatest current spiritual challenge in your practice and teaching?"
I thought, "Okay, this is it! These are major teachers in all lineages, these are people I respect and who I hope will respect me." And I said my truth: "I am a Jew. These days I spend a lot of my time teaching Buddhist meditation to Jews. It gives me special pleasure to teach Jews, and sometimes special problems. I feel it's my calling, though, something I'm supposed to do. And I'm worried that someone here will think I'm doing something wrong. Someone will say, 'You're not a real Buddhist!"'
It was another nonevent. I think-I hope-that was the "One Last River to Cross." I never did ask the Dalai Lama if what I am doing is okay. It had become, for me, a nonquestion by the time we got to our meetings with him. My particular group discussed "Lay and Monastic Practice in the West," and I did say, "I am a Jew, and monasticism is not part of Jewish tradition." I'm not entirely sure of the context in which I made that remark. It may not have been completely relevant to the discussion. Perhaps it was prompted by my desire to make sure I made my declaration publicly, in Dharamsala to the Dalai Lama, just in case that might emerge later as "one more river."
The three-hour return taxi ride from Dharamsala to Pathankot was occasionally hair-raising. Indian taxis are truly dangerous. Accidents, fatal ones, are common. I was sitting in front with the driver, trying to maintain some composure in the face of many last-minute reprieves. As we passed through one particular section of narrow mountain road, there were a few swerves that brought the taxi very close to the edge.
My friend Jack Komfield was sitting with Steve Smith and Heinz Roiger in the backseat.
Jack said, "I hope you are saying protection mantras, Sylvia."
I said, "Of course I am."
He said, "Are they Jewish mantras or Buddhist mantras?"
I said, "Both."
Jack laughed. "Good."
I Am a Jew and I Am a Buddhist
I AM A JEW BECAUSE MY PARPNTS WERE MILD-MANNERED, cheerful best friends who loved me enormously, and they were Jews. It's my karma. It's good karma. My parents' love included respect, admiration, high expectations, and a tremendous amount of permission. I can't remember ever being scolded.
I am a prayerful, devout Jew because I am a Buddhist. As the meditation practice that I learned from my Buddhist teachers made me less fearful and allowed me to fall in love with life, I discovered that the prayer language of "thank-you" that I knew from my childhood returned, spontaneously and to my great delight. From the very first day of my very first Buddhist meditation retreat, from the very first time I heard the Buddha's elegant and succinct teachings about the possibility of the end of suffering-not the end of pain, but the end of suffering-I was captivated, I was thrilled, and I was reassured. The idea that it was possible, in the middle of this very life, fully engaged in life, to live contentedly and compassionately was completely compelling. I felt better even before I was better.
It took me a long time, even after I had begun to teach Buddhist meditation, to get ready to say, "I am a Buddhist." I often hesitated. I circumlocuted. I said, when pressed to identify myself, "I am a Dharma teacher," or "I teach Buddhist psychology," or "I am a Buddhist meditation teacher." To say, "I am a Buddhist" seemed too much like taking a plunge that I didn't need to take.

TORONTO -- A group of Toronto-area men are accused of orchestrating a series of violent gang sex assaults against four victims they met at a local church, police alleged Thursday.
The victims three women and one teenaged girl met their alleged attackers through a Korean community church in the Greater Toronto Area, the name of which is protected under a publication ban, Toronto Police Det. Deborah Harper said.
Between the Fall of 2009 and February of this year, six men are accused of sexually assaulting the four victims.
"Different victims were assaulted at different times," Harper said, adding some of the victims were assaulted together.
Other than to say they met through the church, Harper said she couldn't definitively say how the men allegedly got to know the victims whether they may have befriended them or gotten to know them through particular roles they played in the church.
Over the last week, Hyung Jun Ha, 26, of Toronto, Jong Il Lee, 33, of Orangeville, and Sang Cheol Lee, 37, of Toronto, were arrested on various counts of gang sexual assault, forcible confinement, threatening death, administer drug for sex, assault and making child pornography in relation to the teenaged victim.
Canada-wide warrants were issued for Jin Hyun Kim, 33, Yoon Hyun Cho, 26, and Jung Jay Lee, 26, all of Toronto, who are wanted on the same charges, Harper said.
Harper wouldn't comment on what form of child pornography the men allegedly made, nor would she say whether the other three victims, though not minors, were subjected to the same thing, be it still photography, video or otherwise, to document their alleged abuse.
Asked whether police believe there may be other alleged victims, Harper said, "I'm hoping this is the end of it, but again, we're not closing that door."
Jong Il Lee was charged with seven counts of gang sexual assault, six counts of forcible confinement, seven counts of threatening death, six counts of administer drug for sex, one count of making child pornography, two counts of assault and one count of choking, police said.
Ha and Sang Cheol Lee were each charged with five counts of gang sexual assault, four counts of forcible confinement, four counts of threatening death, four counts of administer drug for sex, one count of making child pornography and one count of assault, police said.
Anyone with information was asked to contact police at 416-808-7474 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-8477, 222tips.com, or by texting TOR and your tip to CRIMES.

DENVER -- David Jones scored two goals, including the game-winner in overtime, to lift the Colorado Avalanche to a 4-3 victory over the Vancouver Canucks at Pepsi Center.
Vancouver captain Henrik Sedin was called for interference 59 seconds into the extra session. As the ensuing power play was winding down, Tomas Fleischmann kept control of the puck in the left circle and dished to the middle for Jones. A sprawling Roberto Luongo got a skate on Jones' first bid, but the Avalanche forward buried his own rebound at 2:52.
John-Michael Liles and Milan Hejduk both registered a power-play goal and two assists for Colorado, which has won three of its last four games. Craig Anderson made 40 saves.
"We battled back and I don't think we started quite as quick as we wanted to," Liles said. "But we got to our game in the second half of the first period. We picked it up and we battled back. That's a tough team to play. We got some timely goals tonight, which was huge."
Alexander Edler, Ryan Kesler and Sergei Shirokov scored for the Western Conference-leading Canucks, who have lost four of six. Luongo stopped 26 shots.
"I don't think we played our best game but at the same time, we rarely give up three power-play goals and that's what happened tonight," Sedin said.
After Edler and Liles traded power-play goals in the first period, the Canucks struck again with the man advantage when Kesler got his stick on Christian Ehrhoff's one-timer from the point midway through the contest.
Less than a minute later, Luongo denied Kevin Porter on a penalty shot to preserve the lead, but Jones tied it at 12:46 of the second period.
Shirokov's first NHL goal gave Vancouver a 3-2 lead with 1:45 remaining in the frame. Hejduk, though, pulled Colorado even 63 seconds later.
Vancouver outshot Colorado 12-5 over the final 20 minutes of regulation.
Game Notes
Colorado notched its first victory over Vancouver in five meetings this season...Paul Stastny had two assists for the Avalanche...The Canucks wrapped up a five-game road trip...Colorado finished 3-for-5 on the power play, while Vancouver was 2-3...The Canucks fell to 11-2-1 against the Northwest Division.

As if she didn't already have enough troubles to deal with, German chancellor Angela Merkel's miseries deepened last week with the resignation of one of her leading political allies, President Horst Köhler.
Köhler, 67, gave Merkel less than two hours' notice before going on live television to announce his decision, which was apparently driven by his anger over the hefty criticism he had received for appearing to advocate gunboat diplomacy over Germany's military participation in Afghanistan.
As a former head of the International Monetary Fund, Köhler was the man to whom Merkel had turned in recent months for advice over the financial crisis and whose "authoritative voice", as she put it, she had greatly valued. His departure was a huge blow to the chancellor, coming only days after the resignation of another Christian Democrat (CDU) heavyweight, Roland Koch, the deputy of the party.The fact that both men have in effect deserted Merkel at a time of political and economic instability and without adequate explanation has only helped nurture the view of an increasingly rudderless Berlin leadership.
To add insult to injury, Merkel's favoured candidate as Köhler's successor, the popular labour minister Ursula von der Leyen, was brushed aside by the powerful male, conservative element within the party. Support for the CDU and its sister party, the Christian Social Union (CSU), has sunk to a four-year low of 30%. The slump in popularity follows a string of accusations of mismanagement by Merkel's centre-right coalition, among them its handling of the EU's plan to shore up the beleaguered euro, Merkel's indecision over aid to Greece, defeat in the regional election in North Rhine Westphalia and the chancellor's decision to forge ahead with a ban on certain types of naked short-selling last month. More bad news is likely to follow today when coalition leaders meet to discuss how they can slash billions from budgets to help plug a record deficit.
Merkel must be longing for refuge away from the slings and arrows being hurled at her in Berlin to enjoy her hobbies of opera and hill walking. But she may instead find herself fighting for the future of her government.

The Shlomo Carlebach musical Soul Doctor: Journey of a Rock-Star Rabbi, which tells the true story of the father of popular Jewish music, will open at Broadway's Circle in the Square Theatre this summer. The musical, which had a previous run at New York Theatre Workshop last summer, will begin previews on July 17, with an official opening set for August 15. Eric Anderson will star as the title character.
Written and directed by Daniel Wise and featuring music by Carlebach, Nina Simone and lyrics by David Schechter, Soul Doctor tells the story of beloved yet controversial father of popular Jewish music, rabbi Shlomo Carlebach, and his friendship with Nina Simone. Beginning with his childhood escape from Nazi Germany, the show follows Carlebach's surprising journey as he becomes a rabbinical prodigy in America, discovers gospel and soul music through his friendship with Simone, and has a meteoric rise as a "Rock Star Rabbi." In the '60s he performed with the likes of Bob Dylan, Jefferson Airplane and the Grateful Dead. However stardom had a price, and Carlebach had to make peace with his family, faith and personal demons.
The New York Theatre Workshop production starred Anderson (South Pacific) and Erica Ash (Baby It's You!) as Carlebach and Simone, respectively. The cast also featured Meredith Kaye Clarke (Wicked), Ryan Strand (Jersey Boys), Kenny Morris, Rachel Stern, Dionne Figgins, Ryan Duncan and Julia Osborne. The production ran from July 31, 2012 through August 19.
Soul Doctor will feature scenic design by Neil Patel, costume design by Maggie Morgan, lighting design by Jeff Croiter and sound design by John Shivers and David Patridge.
