(Updating Issue Bulletin No. 148, "S.565: Pushing the Federal Housing Administration Toward Bankruptcy," June 12,1989, and BacAgrounder No. 528, "How Congress Can Defuse the Federal Housing Administration Time Bomb," July 29,1986.)
The General Accounting Office (GAO) audit of the Federal Housing Administration released late last month shocked even the most pessimistic observers of FHA's deeply troubled operations. Ile audit shows that FHA lost a staggering $4.2 billion last year, and the government's equity in FHA, essentially the reserves to back $303 billion of insurance in force, fell to a minus $2.9 billion. The GAO report shows clearly that the FHA has been suffering from some of the worst management in government, and that its basic programs are fundamentally flawed. Urgent action is needed and Housing and Urban Development Secretary Jack Kemp last week outlined the first steps that should be taken. But his proposals are only first steps: more sweeping reform is required. Continuing Losses Likely. The GAO report makes clear that FHA!s problems have fallen squarely into the lap of the taxpayer, who will be called upon yet again to bail out another badly managed federal credit program. The FHA is the fourth major federal credit program since 1987 to lose more than $4 billion; the Farm Credit Administration, the Federal Savings and Loan Administration, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation all have done as badly or worse. FHA losses likely will worsen, notes the GAO audit, and even if Congress and HUD institute fundamental reform at FHA, the taxpayer still will have to pick up the tab for much of the financial collapse that already has occurred. Noting that the amount of insurance written by FRA has soared in the past few years, and that these insured mortgages have reached the point where losses normally are the greatest, the GAO audit contends that mortgage "...defaults are likely to continue at a relatively high level, at least in the near term." And, according to the audit, uncertainties regarding the ultimate outcome of investigations into fraud, embezzlement, and other illegal acts suggest that "...the losses may be greater than those reported in the financial statements."
Warnings Ignored. Most lawmakers, faced with another federal financial fiasco, express shock at the GAO report. But they have had plenty of warning. Over the past several years, numerous GAO audits and Inspector General reports pointed to persistent financial problems at FHA, and a 1986 Heritage Foundation study warned of the impending collapse.1 All warnings were ignored by Capitol Hill and the housing industry alike. Indeed, the National Association of Realtors, a real estate trade associatip, charged that the Heritage study "grossly exceeds the bounds of thoughtful analysis." The Senate, meanwhile, is considering a bill by Alan Cranston, the California Democrat, and Alfonse D'Amato, the New York Republican (S.565) that would make the FHA situation even worse and increase the agency's losses? Despite the fact that low downpayments are the single greatest contributor to high FHA default rates and losses - almost 40 percent of the 1982 FHA mortgages with downpayments of less than 3 percent have gone into default - the Cranston-D'Amato bill would allow even lower downpayments. Since FHA already permits the equivalent of loans in excess of 100 percent of the value of the property, by allowing borrowers to finance both the mortgage insurance premium and some settlement costs, a reduced downpayment would cause FHA losses to skyrocket. When home prices increase only modestly or not at all, FHA borrowers already find it in their financial interest simply to walk away from their property, as they have been doing by the tens of thousands, and leave FHA with the costs of disposition. Reducing the downpayment would make owners even more likely to default. Variable Rationale. Some lawmakers also want to increase the size of the mortgage that FHA can insure, from the current $101,250 to a variable cap that could be in excess of $200,000 in some communities. Their rationale for this proposal changes from day to day, but none of their reasons make much sense. The purpose of raising the limit at first was said to be to enhance housing affordability in some of the high cost areas of the country. When asked if that meant the rich should be subsidized to afford expensive housing, supporters shifted the rationale to one of enhancing FHA solvency, arguing that the increase in business would bring in more premiums. But the problem with this is that it would also mean more losses in the future - losses that likely would exceed the volume of new premium income and so worsen FHXs plight. An independent consultant to FRA explains that the higher loan values could lead to greater losses because much of the new business probably would be in the form of risky low downpayment mortgages. Given FHA's staggering losses, this seems hardly the time to take a chance of adding greater risk to the agency's portfolio.

Pushing the Federal Housing Administration Toward Bankruptcy," Heritage Foundation Issue Bulled?4 No. 148, June 12,1989. With the FHA in bad and deteriorating shape, Congress and the Bush Administration must work together to enact reforms to restore solvency. Ile recommendations of the President's 4 - Commission on Privatization, which examined FHA in 1988, along with Heritage Foundation and GAO suggestions, are a basis for a genuine reform effort. Among these recommendations: 1) Overhaul FHA's system of management, accounting, and financial controls so that those responsible for the program can identify problems take prompt action. 2) Refocus FHA insurance on the first-time homebuyer of modest income so that FHA can devote its limited resources where it is needed the most instead of spreading itself thinly across several markets, often in competition with the private sector. 3) Terminate immediately the FHA insurance programs for vacation homes, investor properties, and refinancings. These programs have led to substantial losses while drawing funds away from FHA's primary mission. 4) Require a downpayment of no less than 5 percent of the cost of the property. Loans with downpayments of 5 percent or more have much lower default rates than those with 3 percent or less and also entail lower losses to FHA because of the larger equity cushion. 5) Make a sustained commitment to rebuild the FHA reserves to 4 percent of the agency's insurance in force, through a combination of higher premiums and better underwriting. Early this month, HUD Secretary Kemp recommended a package of bold reforms, including a substantial overhaul of FHA's accounting and financial control systems, termination of some of the most abusive practices and programs, and a series Of Proposals to end FHA insurance on mortgages used to acquire vacation homes and investor properties. This is a good start and deserves congressional support. But as the GAO report makes clear, much more needs to be done.

With a blazing fastball that approached 100 mph and a work ethic like no other, Nolan Ryan dominated hitters for an unparalleled 27 seasons on his way to an all-time record 5,714 strikeouts. During four decades of prominence, he totaled 324 victories and a host of major league records. Most notable of his milestones are a mystifying seven no-hitters and 12 one-hitters. The eight-time All-Star fanned a record 383 batters in 1973, and his career strikeouts encompassed 1,176 different players. This great Hall of Fame player will always be amoung one of the most collected.
Collecting baseball cards and other sports cards is a fun way for the whole family to build lasting memories. Kids, parents and grandparents can all have fun together colleting sports cards.
Baseball Cards and Sports Cards collecting tips: The key factor to remember when building your baseball cards, football cards, other sports cards and non-spots card collections is that the condition of the baseball cards, football cards, or other cards is very important to it's value and the selling price. Baseball cards in lower condition bring far less than those same sports card in top shape. Make sure to protect your sports cards with the proper card supplies every time. If you ever think of selling baseball cards, football cards, or other sports cards your top condition cards will always get better prices than sports cards that are not in top condition regardless if they are old sports cards or new sports cards when you put them up for sale.
There is no right or wrong baseball cards to collect. Many people like Topps baseball cards or Upper Deck baseball cards but there have been many manufacturers over the years and even the ones that are no longer in business anymore like Fleer or Pinnacle are collected by many fans. Some buy only brand new sports cards while other buy only old vintage baseball cards. Price, value or what a price guide says a sports card is worth should not be the only or even the main factor in what you buy. The way to have the most fun with the hobby is to collect what you like and how you like and not what someone else says they think you should.
Many hobbiests like to buy baseball cards by the pack or box and get a thrill out of hitting their favorite player or that hard to find card insert, autograph or relic card. Others like to collect baseball card team sets or cards of their home town players and yet others buy factory sets or build sets by hand. Collecting baseball cards, football cards, basketball cards, or any other types of sports trading cards can be a life long hobby that's fun for the whole family. So above all enjoy your hobby.

Detailed Description:
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and bipolar disorder (BD) affect approximately 2.5% and 1%, respectively, of the adult population in the UK. They represent a major clinical and economic burden on society. Genetic and environmental risk factors (such as life events for BD); have been identified for each disorder. Despite the highly different symptom presentations for ADHD and BD, it has recently become clear that they share a cognitive characteristic, observed in high response time variability (RTV). This has led to the question of whether the increased RTV, which reflects short-term fluctuations in performance, is a non-specific marker for psychopathology or whether the causes for the higher RTV could differ across disorders. RTV has been identified as a possible early marker of psychopathology; therefore a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms could lead to improved diagnosis and prevention of negative consequences. Further, it will give insight into the comorbidity observed between ADHD and BD. This study will use cognitive-electrophysiological methods to investigate the causes for RTV and its association with other cognitive and neurophysiological impairments observed in each disorder (aim 1). The second question will address whether, within each disorder, current cognitive functioning relates to the patients' current social functioning (aim 2). Adverse life events and other psychosocial risk factors can contribute to high variability in the level of social functioning observed, within and between individuals, in each disorder; yet our understanding of the association between current social functioning and cognitive functioning is limited. Finally the study will explore if any cognitive differences detected by electrophysiological investigation are associated with any candidate gene markers for either disorder (aim 3).

Renewable Energies and Low-Carbon Society: Application of CGE Model to Toyohashi City in Japan
Reducing CO2 emissions is the most significant target in the global environmental issue. One of strongest measures for CO2 reduction may be introduction of renewable energies including wind and solar powers. Moreover smart grid is attracting attention as a new power supply system for CO2 reduction as well. Integration of renewable energies, smart grid and eco-friendly vehicles could significantly reduce CO2 emissions leading to the Low-Carbon Society. However economic assessment has not been implemented for such an attractive social form without a few exceptional studies. Thus this article aims to examine the economic performance of Low-Carbon Society taking Toyohashi city in Japan as a study region. The methodology applied in this article is a static CGE model. In this model, renewable energies, smart grid and eco-friendly vehicles are incorporated in addition to the standard structure of a CGE model. Toyohashi city will be evaluated from the viewpoint of reductions in CO2 emissions and fossil fuel consumption, and welfare level by employing the equivalent variation.

Florastor is designed to promote the natural flora†2 we all have and help our bodies function naturally so runners can stay active and avoid intestinal disturbance.
San Bruno, CA (PRWEB) April 15, 2014
A lot of factors go into a good run — the weather, proper attire, and personal safety, just to name to few. One of the last things runners want to worry about is their gut. In fact, 81 percent of distance runners experience some type of intestinal disturbance while exercising.1 They want to feel "nothing" — no intestinal upset — exactly the idea behind yeast-based, Florastor.
"Athletes, and runners in particular, can especially appreciate the impact a healthy gut can make on a run," said Marc Rohman, Executive Vice President & General Manager, Biocodex North America. "Florastor is designed to promote the natural flora†2 we all have and help our bodies function naturally so runners can stay active and avoid intestinal disturbance."
Florastor, a yeast-based probiotic, not only helps maintain digestive health,†2 but also supports a healthy immune system,†3 to help keep you feeling great throughout the race season — and beyond.
Why Florastor is Different
Unlike many bacterial-based probiotics like yogurt, yeast-based Florastor doesn't need refrigeration, making it a convenient travel companion for runners on the go. It also contains 250 mg of Saccharomyces boulardii lyo, found naturally on the skin of the tropical fruits lychee and mangosteen — and is not compromised when using antibiotics.†4 Florastor is an all-natural, vegetarian, and gluten-free capsule.
FlorastorKids comes in a powder packet and is appropriate for children two months and older.†5 The powder contains 250 mg of the same probiotic yeast strain as Florastor and can be dissolved in most drinks or soft foods.
Top Tummy Tips for Runners
Consider these five tips to help you avoid possible digestive issues as a runner:
● Drink More Water: Sports drinks (e.g., Gatorade) can be essential to most runners, but water is the ultimate health drink, helping with digestion and brain and muscle performance. Unlike sports drinks, water has zero calories and doesn't put stress on the insulin system. Water carries nutrients to cells, regulates body temperature, flushes toxins, aids with digestion and helps with brain and muscle performance.
● Take Probiotics Daily: When the body is stressed from a hectic lifestyle, diet or the effects of medication, probiotics can help maintain a healthy balance of good bacteria†2 in the intestinal tract.
● Plan Restroom Breaks: Postponing a trip to the restroom during your run can cause significant abdominal discomfort, so be sure to plan ahead.
● Eat Light: While training for your race or just consistently running, we're more likely to gobble down foods high in fat and calories. So give your stomach a break by eating light, especially in the days you're planning on training or racing.
● Revel in Rest Days: Shuttling from one marathon to another can become a source of stress. Allow some unstructured "nothing time" to promote healthy balance and improve overall well-being.

Two fishermen were burnt to death in an explosion last Saturday at Aboadze, near the Volta River Authority's sub-station on the Takoradi-Accra main road.
The two fishermen, DAILY GUIDE gathered, were about to convey premix fuel to the beach at Aboadze when the unfortunate incident happened at about 10am.
The two were burnt beyond recognition and their charred bodies were taken to the morgue at the Effia- Nkwanta Regional Hospital in Sekondi pending autopsy.
Residents of the area were said to have used several buckets of water to put out the fire before the arrival of personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS).
An eyewitness identified the two as Agya Yaw, 20 and Agya Aboanda, a JHS 2 student in the area.
According to a source, the two fishermen were preparing to go fishing on that fateful Saturday morning when the incident happened.
The source indicated that the two fishermen entered a kitchen where they had kept their premix fuel to use a tube to draw some of the fuel into a container to be used to power their vessels.
Unfortunately, the tube could not draw the fuel so they decided to pour some of the fuel into a basin and in the process it exploded, burning the two beyond recognition.
An eye witness said that she gathered that the two had finished cooking rice on a coal-pot in the kitchen and that the coal-pot was far away from where the fuel was kept.
She, however, believed that there might have been some charcoal with fire in the coal-pot, which might have caused the explosion.
"A few minutes after the two fishermen entered the kitchen, the residents heard a loud blast and saw the kitchen go up in flames," the eye-witness added.
She said the residents raised an alarm when they heard the unusual sound and saw the thick smoke coming out from the kitchen.
She pointed out that most of the inhabitants of the area rushed to the scene with buckets of water to put out the fire.
She indicated that the fire tenders that came later found it difficult to get access to the place.
A police source disclosed that the fire did not spread to any of the rooms and assured members of the family that the police would unravel the actual cause of the incident.
The police added that investigations were ongoing.

802.11g WPA Security
is there any way to get wpa security through ndiswrapper? is wep security available?
i'm not just talking free, either. if free doesn't exist, does commercial exist?
You can use WPA with WPA Supplicant and it does support ndiswrapper. I haven't tried it myself yet, but I will eventually.
question, though.
i saw the following:
Supported wireless cards/drivers
* Host AP driver for Prism2/2.5/3 (development snapshot/v0.2.x/v0.3.x; WPA and WPA2)
* Linuxant DriverLoader with Windows NDIS driver supporting WPA (WPA, but not WPA2)
* Agere Systems Inc. Linux Driver (Hermes-I/Hermes-II chipset) (WPA, but not WPA2)
* madwifi (Atheros ar521x)
* ATMEL AT76C5XXx
* Linux ndiswrapper
* Broadcom wl.o driver
* Intel ipw2100
* Intel ipw2200
* Wired Ethernet drivers
* BSD net80211 layer (e.g., Atheros driver) (FreeBSD 6-CURRENT)
* Windows NDIS drivers (Windows; at least XP and 2000, others not tested)
how can i translate these into actual wireless products?
for example, i have 3 802.11g wireless adapters:
netgear WG111
US Robotics ???
i'll fill in the ??? when i get home.
do any of these "fit the bill" above?
how can i research what products "fit the bill?"
at the end of the day, we ought to translate the above into actual end products b/c that is what newbies like me will understand.
it looks like the netgear wg111 is supported in some fashion...
i guess i have to figure out what driver to use on linux.
that's for another day, though.

I have been on this rig for about 2 weeks now and have gotten into a dangerous routine. The saying on the ship is, "You eat until your tired, and you sleep until your hungry." Something that will not be very good for my Everest Base Camp trek. To make matters worse, I had worked out too hard and temporarily hurt my knee, it feels like arthritus would feel but I will give it a rest and see how it is in a couple of days.
I now have 7 days left on my hitch and 6 days out here on the West Setia. I have done 4 jobs out here with a tool that I did not previously have a lot of experience. So it is good for learning and I am now by myself to do one last run in 2-3 days. I am excited to get home and see Chelsea, see Matt in Nepal, and check Mt. Everest off the bucket list. On that note, Matt and I originally wanted to do the whole hike to the top of Mt. Everest, but seeing as 33% of people die on the mountain to conditions and things not their fault we decided against it… Everest Base Camp will do.
I have taken many pictures out here and I would love to share them with you. As you can see the living quarters are quite nice, there are a few TV rooms, and a Service engineer room that has two phones and two computers for calling home and checking emails. (Or writing blogs =) I unlucked out, and my bunk is the one in the upper left. The guy underneath of me told me a few days ago, that he says his prayers every night that I don't fall through. LOL. That would not be good.
Only in Africa would they have Acid Bugs...

A book I read a long time ago suddenly seems more interesting than it has for many years. Back in 1985 I was a Labour Party activist. I had other things on my mind at the time and it wasn"t a huge part of my life in the way that it was for some of the other activists I met. But I went to meetings. I was briefly a secretary of a ward branch (sounds a lot more important than it actually was). I used to go out leafletting and canvassing. And this being the eighties, I was also involved in internal party debates. Continue reading

The Lure of Sussex by R.Thurston Hopkins
Thurston Hopkins became famous in the forties and fifties as a photographer on the Picture Post. But I can confirm that before this in 1928 he was the author of a small guide book to Sussex. It has to be said that he was better at taking pictures than writing.
But he is good if slightly irritating company in this book describing his travels around Sussex. The nineteen twenties were the only time a book like this could have been written. The car and the railways enabled him to get to most of the county easily enough but they weren't yet advanced enough for Sussex to become London's backyard. Sussex would soon become first an extension of Bloomsbury and then a dormitory which it is still today. But it was still a largely rural environment at the time this book was written.

The End Of Steel Making In Britain
History is the story of real people's lives and I am now old enough for the early part of my life to count as history – and that sometimes gives current news stories a poignant context. In the late eighties I was working in a medium sized engineering company which used a lot of steel. One of my workmates was then in his sixties and was an absolutely incorrigible old Tory while also being an absolute font of knowledge about engineering. He was also tremendously interested in metallurgy and was very interested indeed in the British steel industry. As such he was very keen indeed in one of the Thatcher government's more minor projects, the sale of the nationalised British Steel. Continue reading

Promoting This Blog
I have been doing this blog for many years now. I started off in I think 2008 on Blogger and have been putting up posts reasonably regularly ever since. I have never thought for a minute that it would ever be more than a very minority interest. It certainly isn't the kind of thing that can develop into a business opportunity. Relatively few people read history books. Even if they did it takes about 6 to 16 hours to read a history book, and another couple of hours to write a review. And they aren't very high value items. The numbers just don't stack up for it to be any more than a source of pocket money. If that in fact. Continue reading

The Passion by Streetwise Opera and the Sixteen
There isn't much really good evidence that Jesus actually existed. In fact, it is pretty much dependent on the account in the Bible. Without that, he really doesn't count as an historical figure. But I am inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt. The main reason for this is that the Bible story of his execution rings true to me. The incidental details just seem to be how things really happen rather than how someone making a story up would describe them. Continue reading

Flowstate Review
I have had a lot of success with a free web based app called The Most Dangerous Writing App. It is pretty good for the price, and in fact does the job it sets out to do pretty well. It is taking a little while to get used to it, but I am finding that it is both increasing the amount of writing I am getting done and the quality. Writing against the clock isn't ideal for every writing task of course, and it is totally bloody useless for editing. But for getting a quick draft out it is superb. And to my surprise it is also forcing me to use shorter and easier to read sentences. And it is even improving my typing speed. Continue reading

Why Help Disabled People In The First Place?
A current news story has got me thinking about disability benefits. We live in a society where we collectively support disabled people with cash payments, infrastructure and favourable social treatment. This is something that we don't think much about, but it is quite intriguing because historically this is something that has only been done since the 20th century. And I am not sure we are always clear why we do it. Continue reading

The Reconquest of Africa – Gibbons Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire Chapter 41 Part 1
One of the problems of reading history is that we get a very distorted view of it. We are looking at the past down the wrong end of a telescope. A good example is the Vandal kingdom of North Africa. This seems like a very ephemeral kind of thing from our point of view. In fact the Vandal Kingdom lasted for over 50 years and it must have seemed pretty well established to people living in it. It was possible to have been born in it and to have lived to a pretty mature age without knowing any different. Continue reading

HBR The Byzantine Military Revolution
If you are a regular follower you'll know that most of my output is an extended review in great detail of Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. This episode fits in with that review but I have stepped out of the frame of the book briefly. I have reached the reign of Justinian, and I want to go into a bit more detail about the changes in the military set up in the Empire at around this time. Gibbon covers it well enough and his account is okay, but I think it is important enough to warrant going into a bit more depth. So I have dug into Gibbons source, the historian and soldier Procopius, and also into Edward Luttwak's book on Byzantine strategy which I have reviewed previously. Edward Luttwak is a Romanian born strategic thinker and consultant to the American defence department. I am not sure how he got his Anglo Saxon forename, but I do know he has been into the sources of information about what made the Byzantine Empire tick in a lot of detail.
With these three guides I hope we can have an illuminating journey.
So why do I say the Byzantines had a military revolution, and what prompted it? Continue reading

A vulnerable man with learning difficulties has been left "traumatised" after being punched and held at knife-point during an armed robbery in South Lanarkshire.
The 32-year-old man was standing at a bus stop near Calderwood Square, East Kilbride on Friday at around 11pm when he was approached by two men. They then threatened him with a blade, punched him and robbed items from him before making off towards Maxwellton Road.
Emergency services took the victim to Hairmyres Hospital and he was released after treatment.
Detective Constable Stuart Burnside, from Cambuslang CID, said: "These despicable individuals preyed on a vulnerable man who clearly could not stand up for himself and has been left absolutely traumatised by what happened.
"This type of abhorrent behaviour will not be tolerated and extensive inquiries are under way to find these criminals and hold them to account for their cowardly actions. I would appeal to anyone who was in the surrounding area late on Friday night, who may have witnessed the incident or may have seen two men matching the above descriptions, to please get in touch."

The Learning Disability Alliance Scotland has produced a "Respect Diary" which is a simple system for people with learning disabilities to keep a record of incidents that they are concerned about. Many people hesitate to record small incidents but they can lead on to many. This diary can record these and then be used as evidence to involve authorities in more action later on. This can be downloaded here.
Another shocking story of everyday hate crime against people with learning disabilities in Scotland. Ivor Miller was waiting at a Glasgow street corner when a pack of hate filled young men and women started to taunt and punch him. A chase began which ended with Mr Miller falling out of a 2nd floor window. This dedicated hunt left Mr Miller in fear of his life and the gang waiting outside pubs he was hiding in until they could start the chase. On Tuesday, despite the judge calling the gang a "pack of animals" only one was sentenced to a custodial sentence, 3 others were give 150 hours community service and a fifth had their sentence deferred.
What led to Mr Millier sustaining serious fractures of his legs and back was an admitted catalogue of violence and abuse. However since only Mr Miller and his assailants were present in the 2nd floor flat where he had sought to hide and Mr Miller couldn't remember exactly what happened, the prosecution refused to press serious charges against his attackers. This case shows how the law lets down people with learning disabilities - where they cannot remember exactly what happened or are too scared to talk, then their attackers get away with lighter sentences.
However this case demonstrates another aspect that worries many people with learning disability. Mr Miller ran into 2 pubs to seek help and sanctuary. He got it in neither. In the 2nd pub, the Hootenanny, a barmaid threw him out of the pub into the hands of his pursuers even after he pleaded for her help. This case clearly demonstrates the need for "Keep Safe" places, a campaign being run by the I Am Me project to get more public spaces to know what to do when people with learning disabilities come into them seeking help and safety.
Sue Graham is 42 years old and has a learning disability. At the start of June, she was crossing a bridge in a quiet part of Edinburgh on her way to catch a bus. 3 young boys, probably not older than 12, approached her from the other side of the bridge, they stopped in front of her and called her an offensive name. Sue didn't know what to do. She said afterwards "I could have run away but they would have caught me. I just stood there."
The older boy asked her for money. "After a minute, I just gave them everything I had and they went away," Sue told us afterwards. She was distressed and had to walk 2 miles to the meeting – her bus fares were part of what was stolen.
Disability Hate Crimes are common for people with learning disabilities. So common that they are rarely reported and even less is done about them. Sue never reported her incident. "It wasn't much money", she said.
The middle of August sees the start of Police Scotland's Tackling Hate Crime Awareness month. Each week will feature a different type of Hate Crime, starting with disability, then moving on to gender, race and sexual orientation. Police Scotland want to take this seriously and so they should! Figures published earlier this year show a 270% increase in the reporting of disability hate crime in the last year alone.
Disability hate crime has unfortunately been with us for a long time. The EHRC report, Hidden In Sight reports that in 2007, Laura Milne, a young woman with learning disabilities living in Aberdeen was murdered by 3 people. She was repeatedly slashed across the throat with a kitchen knife. One of her three attackers, Debbie Buchan had bullied her in school and then joined in another attack on Laura with a golf club. It is likely there were many more unrecorded incidents of bullying that Laura had to endure before her death but no one ever reported them.
Earlier this year, Katharine Quaramby, author of "Scapegoat, Why We Are Failing Disabled People" carried out a small survey of people who had been the subject of hate crime attacks. She found that a sizeable number were linked to accusations of the victims being scroungers or faking to get extra benefits. It may be that the focus on "benefit scroungers" in the media and by some politicians has contributed to the rise. Her study is too small to have many answers but it does indicate that we need to understand the motivation of why disability hate crimes are carried out so we can deal with it better.
The Learning Disability Alliance Scotland is working alongside other voluntary organisations and Police Scotland to find new ways of tackling disability hate crimes. These include Keep Safe spaces – shops and offices - where people feeling threatened on the street can go in to for shelter and training for Police call centres to improve their work with disabled people.
And we are also launching this week our new wristband – "Disability Hate Crime – See It, Report It – Call 101." Available in yellow and black, they are free to all our member organisations.
We think it really important that more people call 101 to report these incidents. That's what Sue should have done. No one thought when Laura was first bullied by Debbie Buchan that it would end only a few years later with Buchan joining in her killing. Reporting even the smallest disability hate crime is the first step to making sure this kind of attack never happens again.
Hate crimes against the disabled have more than tripled in five years and prosecutors have warned the rise could be the tip of the iceberg. Reports of aggravation of prejudice relating to disability have risen by 270% from 48 in 2010/11 to 177 last year, official figures from the Crown Office have revealed. There was a 20% increase since 2013/14 alone.
The report states: "There is a broad consensus that this type of crime continues to be under reported compared to other forms of hate crime. Both Police Scotland and COPFS (Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service) are engaged in a variety of activities aimed at increasing the level of awareness, especially amongst disability communities, that hate crime is unacceptable and should not be tolerated."
The number of charges reported in all hate crime categories with the exception of disability fell in 2014/15 compared to the previous year. Racial crime remains the most commonly reported hate crime, with 3,785 charges reported in 2014/15, but this is the lowest number reported since 2003/04.

Testimonials and Video
Read the testimonials and watch the Video of what our EDGE graduates have to say.
I had a completely different review planned. Then Hurricane Harvey hit. In August of 2017, I took the Edge. Atypically, I took the course without having done any of the earlier ones such as first circle. Despite my limited knowledge, I was able to learn and survive.
The class was a fantastic experience; however that is not what this is about. Shortly after I completed the class, Hurricane Harvey came barreling towards my home. Severe flooding, tornado's, and no access to traditional food sources resulted. Thanks to the training I had received in the Edge, and especially thanks to the mindset developed there, I was able to manage my family's survival situation with ease.
I credit our safety during this disaster to Mark and his teachings, as well as the overall experience of the Edge. Thank you, Mark. We are safely managing this disaster thanks to you. ~Ryan F.
Dear LWA,
"I just wanted to drop you a note of thanks & gratitude. As you know THE EDGE was a 50th birthday present from my family. Singularly, this was the best gift I ever received. Your camp was outstanding and exceeded my expectations. Your curriculum and intensive training got me well prepared for my solo overnight adventure. I would recommend this camp to anyone young & old alike, male or female." All the best. ~ Dr. Dean G. Professor Columbia University
Just a note to say Thank You for the outstanding experience I had at THE EDGE. I was blown away at how well you've thought out and deliberately constructed the adventure. I went in with the expectation of expanding and testing my outdoor skill set and came out fully changed in my perspective on life." ~All my best, Bill
Dear Mark,
"I am awfully glad I had the opportunity to spend that time with you. It has helped me connect in a more profound way to nature around me. I look at it differently and slow down so that I can be more present to it – for some reason I am now better able to blot out much of the extraneous stimuli of modern life. Also, and equally important, I have an entirely more practical and nuanced understanding of survival in the wild – no longer driven to conquer it, far less afraid of it, and far more confident in my ability to make the appropriate decisions. Far more in awe of nature too! " Cheers! ~ Hugh M.
"Hey Mark, I hope this email finds you well. I wanted to thank you again for an amazing experience in the edge camp. Rick and I had a great time learning about the wild and how to survive with nothing!" ~Darren D.

My Nonprofit Reviews

Review for The Heart Connection, Des Moines, IA, USA
My son's first experience with Heart Connection was shortly after his cancer diagnosis. He attended Oncology Camp and was able to interact other children in various phases of treatment. Later my daughter attended Sibling Camp where the focus was on her, rather than on her brother. We are grateful that Heart Connection has been a significant part of our lives for the past 16 years.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
the faces of the children who attend their summer camps. Those at the oncology camp realize that they are not limited in what they can do.
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
watching the children gain confidence after attending camp.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
enthusiastic about the kids.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
continue serving children with cancer and their families by providing backpacks full of educational materials shortly after diagnosis, hosting Young Survivors' conferences, and sponsoring its flagship programs - summer camps.
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

Catalog for Easter Yearling Sale in Australia Will Be Larger
Close to 600 yearlings will be offered at the William Inglis & Son auction.
Close to 600 yearlings will be offered at the William Inglis & Son auction.
The William Inglis & Son June sale in Australia ended Friday afternoon with a gross revenue of Aust$7,107,150 for the 491 horses sold.
Top price on day two of the Australian broodmare sale, conducted in Victoria by Inglis, was Aust$140,000 for the nicely bred mare Tyrani.
The Australian auction spotlight turned to the Melbourne Inglis broodmare sale on Wednesday with the great mare grab continuing on from Magic Millions last week.
The Australian select broodmare sale concluded at Newmarket Tuesday with 474 lots achieving an average price of Aust$53,668 and a total aggregate of Aust $25,438,650.
At the Inglis Australian Easter Sale, on Wednesday 19 April, a son of Redoute's Choice from the mare Deja Slew (by Slew O' Gold) broke the all-time Australian yearling record when he reached a bid of AUS$3 million (US$2.4 million).
On Monday in Melbourne, the Inglis premier yearling sale opened with a record. It was day two of the auction, early in the coolish morning, but the bidding was on fire.
The 2006 Inglis premier yearling sale in Melbourne, which opened on Sunday in Australia, continued the global trend of buyers willing to spend on well-topped, muscular yearlings.

Fantasy Art:
I've always loved art and reading. As a kid I would diligently draw pictures of what I read (mostly aviation, spaceships, and history) but in 7th grade I read my first fantasy book "The Hobbit". After that my drawings became filled with mythical creatures and strange lands. This was reinforced in collage when I started playing D&D (imagine that) and drawing my characters, but life intervened and because I had been earning money in the education market since high school my art career moved that way and with the slow passage of time many things were forgotten. Then 5 years ago I discovered Sci/Fi Fantasy conventions and was blown away by the artwork. All my enthusiasm about fantasy art came rushing back and I knew I would be doing a lot of this kind of art weather it made me a living or not. All this Sci/Fi Fantasy work has been done since then and we first began mailing out to many of the U.S. conventions in 2003. It's turning out to be a grand adventure.

Catalyst's Snowflake Paper Mill has been sold and officials of the Town of Snowflake are pleased with the outcome. It was announced last week that Hackman Capital and its affiliates have purchased the assets of the closed Snowflake facility and the shares of Apache Railway for $13,460,000 and other non-monetary consideration. The buyer intends to continue to operate the Apache Railway as a going concern, and the transaction is supported by the Town of Snowflake and various local interests.
The winning bid was made at the auction held Dec. 17 under U.S. Court-approved sale and investor solicitation procedures. The sale is expected to complete in the first quarter of 2013. In addition, the sale ensures that any environmental damages discovered at the site will be cleaned up as required under state and federal law and the permits issued by the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ).
Town Manager Paul Watson said that the town is very pleased with the outcome of the sale. "This has been a very stressful process. I would really like to thank the mayor and the town council of Snowflake for their fore-sight in this matter and taking the steps necessary in this ordeal. This was in no way an easy task and there were concerns about becoming involved in private enterprise. They have had to take some criticisms for what they did, and I really appreciate them taking the heat on this," stated Watson.
He explained that Hackman Capital was the bidder the town supported because officials of the firm were the most willing to listen to the concerns of the community. "We were in discussions with them either directly or indirectly all the way up to the auction," said Watson, adding that the auction, held in New York City, took 12 to 13 hours to complete.
The attorney representing the Town of Snowflake was present at the auction and entered a statement in the record that the town would rescind its motion to request that the railway be pulled from the bankruptcy proceedings and would not seek to block the sale of Catalyst's holdings if Hackman Capital was the winning bidder.
"We are pleased that this transaction has progressed efficiently and that the community's interests have been considered through the process and in the successful bid," said Catalyst President and Chief Executive Officer Kevin J. Clarke. "While paper manufacturing is part of Snowflake's past, this transaction puts the asset on a path to a new future that can continue to bring value to the region."
Watson explained that Hackman Capital is working with a railway operator to negotiate the next steps on the railway. The buildings and equipment used as part of the paper mill operation will be scrapped, but Watson has heard that there is discussion of other industry having interest in the site due to the existing infrastructure.

A funny hashtag has begun trending on Twitter – #poopboat. That is a fitting hashtag for the Carnival Triumph. It may be a fitting title for the company as well when they tweet something like this:
Of course the bathrobes for the Carnival Triumph are complimentary.

I doubt the bathrobes are white anymore. I think the passengers on this ship would gladly give the poop stained bathrobes back to the poopboat.

Complaint Review: Tire Kingdom

Tire Kingdom Brake Job Rock Hill South Carolina
About a year ago my brakes went out on my 1998 ford explorer I took it to Tire Kingdom. After inspecting my vehicle they to me I needed brake pads, rear drum, rotors front and rear , calipers front and rear, alignment, balancing 2 new tires. All this for a total of 1607.00. I couldn't afford that out of pocket, but desperately need my car. I went to the bank and took out a high interest loan to pay for the repairs, as I was in desperate need of my vehicle. I gave them the check, and about 45 mins later they were done.It ended up costing me around 2 thousand when all was said and done.
Recently I have taken an interest in cars, and seem to learn at a rapid rate. I started priceing all the parts out myself to see how much it would have cost myself to have done the same job. When I got to the rear drums for my 98 Exploer I learned that they no longer installed drum brakes on any explorer after 1995, therefore I didn't have what they said they replace. Digging deeper I realized performing all of these task would take longer than 45 mins.
I also remember a few months later I was having issue with the steering my 1996 Chevy Astro. I took it to tire kingdom again. This time when I arrived they remembered me. While I was waiting the manager remarked to his employee, that he needed to get to me quickly, that I was a "big customer". At the time I took it as a compliment. They looked at my car and said it would be another 900 for the tire rod end, which I more recently priced at 19 bucks. I did declined the 900 dollar bill and junked the car for 400, thinking I wouldn't get anything for it with a 900 repair needed. I am extremely upset with myself for doing this, now knowing I could have replaced the 19 dollard part myself and sold it easily for at least a thousand because it was in great condition.
Needless to say, they will NEVER recieve my business again. I plead to anyone taking a car to Tire Kingdom, or any service shop to check your specific vehicles specs. I would also suggest marking any item they claim needed to raplace before work is done, and recheck for marks after work is completed.

Isaacs' New Film Screening in Aspen
Feb 08, 2005
Tennis Anyone…?, starring Jason Isaacs (aka Lucius Malfoy) will be screening Feb 10th at the Comedy Arts Film Festival in Aspen, CO, Martyne of the Unofficial Jason Isaacs Page tells us. The movie will show on Feb 10 and Feb 12. Isaacs plays Johnnie Green. Click below for the film's summary.
This directing debut from Donal Logue tells the story of Danny Macklin and Gary Morgan, two mid-level actors on the fringes of Hollywood success who both love tennis. As his career and personal life begin falling apart, Danny becomes a regular on the celebrity charity tennis circuit, with Gary as his partner. They regularly compete both on and off the court with Johnnie Green, a phenomenally successful actor who finds joy in belittling and sabotaging Danny.
Logue, star of the hit sitcom Grounded for Life and indie fave The Tao of Steve, makes the transition from actor to director with confidence and ease. He brings out the best in his cast, including a deliciously nasty performance by Jason Isaacs as the venomous Green and Paul Rudd's turn as a porn star. Intimately familiar with both tennis and Hollywood, Logue avoids stereotypes, bringing a subtle, authentic humor to this story of revenge, male friendship and discovering one's true talents.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Neighbor Ride Inc, Columbia, MD, USA
Transportation is a huge challenge for the elderly and Neighbor Ride definitely helps to address this challenge. Two to three times a month, I drive people to doctor's appointments, the grocery store, religious services or any place they want to go. Most of these people had been able to drive but no longer can--something that is not easy for them to get used to. Neighbor Ride allows people to remain in their home connected to their community. I find it immensely satisfying to volunteer for this organization.
More Feedback

Saints have signed Chelsea left-back Ryan Bertrand on a season-long loan.
The 24-year-old passed a medical today after agreeing to move to St Mary's, becoming the third arrival of the summer.
The Daily Echo understands that Saints also possess an option to sign Bertrand permanently next summer.
Bertrand, who has been capped twice by the senior England team and who started in Chelsea's 2012 Champions League final victory against Bayern Munich, is seen as an ideal replacement for Luke Shaw, after he moved to Manchester United in a £27m deal this summer.
The defender has made 57 appearances for Chelsea's first-team, since emerging from their youth ranks after being plucked from Gillingham, but loans have dominated his time there.
He has had spells at Bournemouth, Oldham, Norwich, Reading, Nottingham Forest and, most recently, Aston Villa, where he spent the second half of last season.
He joins midfielder Graziano Pelle and striker Dusan Tadic in signing for Saints this summer.
