has always striven to keep up with the latest improvements
in mobile recording equipment and over the last 20 years
has constantly updated sound recording gear and particularly
microphones. To maintain the best sound quality available
one piece of equipment that has been a consistent part
of our recording equipment from the very beginning,
the Soundfield
The Soundfield
has been around for about 25 years in various guises
and is arguably one of the most versatile microphones
in the world. The first Soundfield
microphone was developed by the National Research
Development Corporation and Calrec Audio based on the
work of mathematician Michael Gerzon and formed the
heart of an incredibly accurate surround sound system
known as Ambisonics.
basics of ambisonics is that the Soundfield microphone
contains 4 separate capsules arranged in such a way
that the engineer can record the whole sound environment
around the microphone, above, below and behind as
well as infront. Not only can the mic be set to any
of the conventional pick up patterns but it has the
advantage that the direct/ambient sound balance and
stereo width can be adjusted from the control unit
without having to physically move the microphone.
But there is much more to it than that! With ambisonics
the entire sound environment can be recreated
back in the studio.
recording gear has developed over the years so the
recording format has changed from analogue tape to
digital tape and now direct to disc recording. Digital
editing on a software platform has made huge advances
and at the heart of our mobile recording equipment
we have two Pentium 4 2.8 GiG laptops configured solely
for audio recording with Steinberg Nuendo software
giving us the finest recording standard available
up to 96K at 32bit . Often just recording in stereo
to two tracks on the computer gives a fantastic result.
larger projects involving orchestras may require the
use of more microphones and we have
built up a huge list of quality condenser mics over
the years with models by AKG, Neuman, Sure, Sennheiser,
Rode and recent additions by ADK, Audio
Technica and recently Hebden Sound.
in the studio everything is monitored on a pair of Rogers
LS3/5A speakers developed as nearfield monitors
by the BBC.

Design brief
Four Brothers Distilling Company
My three brothers and I own and operate the smallest legal distillery in the United States. We focus on very small batch production of handmade whiskies, crafted using the finest grains, water, and distilling techniques. While our distillery is based in the Catskills (Upstate New York), the majority of our customers are in New York City. We are looking for a logo that captures both our country/artisanal and urban NYC roots. We are whiskey fanatics, and we also want our logo to communicate our passion for our products.
Food & Drink
None specified
We want the logo to work well on an artisanal whiskey sampler box similar to the one in the attached image. The logo will also need to work well on each of the individual tubes.
Our target customers (mostly men, ages 25 and up) need to see the logo and immediately understand our authenticity and premium quality.
While the logo will be used on the box and tubes, it will also be used on our website and all of our merchandise.
We are developing a luxury line of products that we hope to turn into a lifestyle brand.
We want to balance whiskey roots artisanal premium and metro high-energy youthful premium -- we don't want this to feel stodgy, like an old man in a leather chair smoking a cigar.
We are four literal brothers, four dudes who are comfortable everywhere from the slums of Jakarta to the fashion runways of Milan to Ironman triathlons to the mountains of Kathmandu. We are the city. We are the country. We are the New Face of Whiskey.
There must be a way to balance all of these components in a compelling logo -- the same way that we will take whiskey and make it youthful, fun, and exciting.
The slogan we are developing is: "Life, liberty and the pursuit of the world's best whiskey." This does not need to be used, it is just an idea that captures our attitude.

The world of Formula One racing is being torn in two. On one side are forces like Renault and the FIA who want to see F1 moving towards more environmentally conscious means of propulsion. On the other are parties like Ferrari, the race promoters and Bernie Ecclestone that are more concerned about abandoning the elements that make grands prix the spectacle that they are.
The FIA recently approved a new engine formula that will see the sport switching from its current V8 engines to V6 turbos, which will also cut the rev limiter from 18,000 rpm down to 15,000. As a result, the commercial side of the sport is growing concerned that the screeching noise that has become associated with F1 racing will mean lower ticket sales. And ticket sales are the only way for local racers promoters to raise the millions demanded by Bernie Ecclestone for the right to host a grand prix.
In fact, according to ESPN, some of the race promoters are threatening to jump ship and hold IndyCar racers instead. With the series once again reunited and new engine suppliers expected to move in, Indy is hoping it can retake its place as the next viable alternative to F1.
For his part, Ecclestone can hardly blame them, and says that if the new engine regulations result in a drop in ticket sales, he could hardly hold the race promoters at fault. So what recourse would he have? Sue the FIA for loss of revenue. At this point, it could prove little more than saber-rattling – particularly since this isn't the first time the sport has gone with turbocharged V6 engines – but then again, F1 is a bigger spectacle these days than it was in the past.

Al Gore Discovers an Inconvenient Truth About Facebook
Posted By Robert Gorell On October 9, 2007 @ 11:02 am In Social Media,Web / Tech,humor | 10 Comments
Our international readers may not realize that former U.S. Vice President-turned-environmental-activist Al Gore is at once laughed at and lauded for statements about his role in "creating the Internet [1]" — a gem of a sound bite, especially when taken out of context. Well, he may want to take it back. If this screenshot is any indication, he'd have been better off inventing "Web 2.0″; at least then, he might be able to conjure up a Facebook app that could convince the American public that he's not running for President in '08. (Besides, this particular application, a news aggregator, hasn't exactly been kind with the headlines.)
Poor Al. Not only has he endured the pain of winning the popular vote, then losing the 2000 presidential election in a landmark court case — now this?
Recently, Wired Magazine editor — and bestselling author of The Long Tail — Chris Anderson elaborated [2] on Tim O'Reilly's Facebook application research [3], which found that "87% of the usage goes to only 84 applications! Only 45 applications [out of approximately 5,000] have more than 100,000 active users."
[4]Although it's unclear whether the "Election '08″ app is one of the popular ones, it's not doing much to boost Gore's imaginary campaign. Still, he's still coming in at #4 for the Democrats, according to last month's CNN poll (see thumbnail image). Not bad for someone who's not running!
So, what gives? Is all this social networking stuff better left to "the kids" (and I don't mean Al Gore's kids)? Robert Scoble doesn't think so [5].
[Hat tip to Miguel Senquiz at Flavorpill.net [6] for nabbing the Facebook screenshot.]

Pitchfork Music Festival
This year, the hipster fete in Union Park raked in its biggest names yet—Björk, R. Kelly and M.I.A. With Riot Fest rocketing in size and popularity, and the proliferation of three-day EDM tentpoles, Pitchfork remains the summer music festival for people who hate summer music festivals. There's even a spin-off in France now, which you can expect to take the trophy in Time Out Paris' awards. Pitchfork also launched a new film website, The Dissolve, in 2013. How about a film fest, guys?

My dad met Ross Myers at a show, and he came to visit when we unveiled Roger's 1932. He came back in with this 1936 Ford he'd started and said he wanted to do it for the Ridler. He bought it when he was nine for $25, so I knew we had the right guy. It had been in the works for three years at another shop, and I know he had to have $400,000 in it, so we get it in primer and I told him I'd like to keep the roof, quarters, decklid, and engine and throw the rest away, and he said, 'Sounds good, let's do it.' He challenged us, and we went to the moon on that thing. Chip would say it, too.
When he saw it at Autorama, I asked him what he thought. He crawled under it and everything and said, 'I'm gonna cut my hands off, I don't want to compete with this thing.' You can only stretch, and lengthen, and chop a 1936 Ford so many ways—it's already been done. So we did all that necessary stuff on the body, but we're more mechanical here than cosmetic, so we really focused on the chassis and drivetrain. I wanted it where when people looked at it, they couldn't compare it to anything else they've seen.
I'd like to do a version of that car to drive because the styling on the outside, the proportions, are right on the money. It drives, but if you go 10 miles, it'd cost you $400,000 to fix it because everything's so dialed up on it. A lot of people ask me if I'd do another Ridler car. The guys I have now, the equipment I have now, we could do a better job and get more creative, but it takes a special [customer] to do that. I won it once, and that's fine with me.
That's probably the nicest car we've built from a standpoint of quality, function, and style. We built the 1932 Ford for Roger Ritzow and his wife, and ran it on a Power Tour. I'd seen a 1956 Chrysler and thought it was neat, and kept it in the back of my head. We found one, and he came to look at it and said, 'The only thing I want is 1,000 horsepower at the wheels.' So we went into the whole R5 Dodge and turbo thing we already knew from the Blowfish. Roger wanted a lot of technology in the car and was willing to pay for it. It was for his wife, Nancy, so he let us go crazy, and we turned it loose. The chassis is sick, like the Ridler car, but this one was built to drive. He put 5,000 miles on it the first year and took it to a track day at Road America with his Ferrari buddies. They clocked it at 143 down the front straight, 5,200 pounds, and even though it was heavy, with 1,000 hp and Viper suspension and brakes, it was a real high-function car. That's one of the best ones we've done, for sure.
George [Poteet] dreamed that up because he's so into the history. Brian Stinger in Indianapolis is a big Miller guy, and he started on it. It was through fabrication and was becoming one of those deals that was taking forever, so George had Brian get it to our shop so we could finish it. It came to me in bare steel. All the designing was done, so all we did was execute the build, paint, and body. Brian had a neat concept there—as if Miller had a shop truck at the time, this might have been it, obviously fancied up. It's a neat little truck. It isn't much to drive since you can't hardly fit in it, but it has a lot of neat details. George had it at one of his barbecues at his place, and a guy who he knew commented on how much he liked it, and George knew the guy didn't have a lot of money so he joked, 'That truck ain't worth 50 grand.' So this guy goes and gets two other guys together and they get 50 grand together and come back to him. And George is the type of guy that if he said it, he meant it. So they give him 50 grand for a car he had probably $500,000 in. He couldn't go back on his word. So they go to Barrett-Jackson and sell it for $250,000. George knew what they were doing, but he didn't worry about it. He's an amazing guy, I'll tell you that.
I've been getting a lot of jobs from recommendations. Hal Wing has a collection of about 60 cars but he'd never been to a Goodguys event or anything like that. He's more of a Pebble Beach guy and has a bunch of high-end Porsches. He had a brand-new Mercedes G55 and crashed it, but he bought it back from the insurance company and wanted to put the drivetrain in something. His Porsche guy said, 'I can only think of one guy that can pull that off,' so I got the job from that. He let me pick the car, so I got the 1954 Buick and we got the G-wagon and tore it all apart. There were six months of wiring to get everything to function—you cannot believe the amount of wiring in this thing. If you went end to end, it'd probably reach from here to California. It's crazy the stuff that Mercedes does. We did SEMA and a few shows, and he drove it a little bit, but he died about six months ago of a heart attack.
Rad Rides has built many more cars than we have the space to show in this story, which is too bad since most of them are really cool and range from mild to wild, race to show, and everything in between. And economy be damned, the shop is always busy. You've seen the Torino he built for Poteet in this magazine (Sept. 2012) in bare metal, and that car just got paint. The shop also did a 1933 Ford land-speed car for Mark and Dennis Mariani that is picking away at the Bonneville record book as we speak. With a 10,000-plusrpm and a 250ci engine, Troy describes it as a hummingbird. Also seen in the background of past HOT ROD photos is a 1956 Buick the shop is building for a guy in Iowa with a twin-turbo Nailhead, and the wild third-gen Camaro we've also shown you before.
Like we said, there's always something going on at Rad Rides, and if you keep reading HOT ROD, you're sure to see them on a regular basis.

Looking for talent
We are always on the hunt of talent, whether it be Offsiders, Drivers or Office staff with very specific talents.
It is always our goal to hire employees that have that drive to succeed
- That success may be always impressing our clients with your handling and/or loading skills
- The success of showing your employers that you are excelling where you are and capable of taking on more responsibility
- The success of being the best at what you do in your field
- Or simply the success of just doing the very best that you possibly can at all times
If you strive for any of these points then you are a prime candidate to work with us. One thing we will say is past experience with a reputable company does give you a head start.
Excellent working conditions
One thing that Corey has always excelled at is providing a reliable and guaranteed income for all of his employees, in a industry where work is up and down, and companies treat their workers like they are completely expendable, Complete Removals will continue to work hard to provide satisfying jobs for our most important resource, you.
In the New Year 2010 our employment conditions will improve once again. We will be introducing the following
- Overtime pay for our removalists
- A FREE hot or cold breakfast for our removalists in the morning before they leave for work
- A rewards program for time served with excellent performance
- Flexible working hours. We are ok if you cannot work full time, we just need to know in Advance what you can and can't do.
Tips - Because of our low price and quality service we get abnormal amounts of tips from Happy Clients, you as the removalists are the ones who benefit from that because you get to keep them.
Gratitude and pride - More important than anything. We provide an excellent service to people at a time when they are worried about moving home and expecting some catastrophe. Once you have shown them that we have it under control they will show you a lot of gratitude and frequently comment on being impressed.

(09/10/12) - Despite tougher state laws, the National Safety Council says more than 100,000 car crashes are caused each year while a driver is texting and driving.
AT&T is warning its customers that no text is worth dying for. The company is launching its "It Can Wait" Public Awareness Campaign, and asking drivers to place a "no text on board" sticker on their car as a reminder of the promise they made not to text and drive.
Customers will receive the sticker when they walk into an AT&T store.
The no texting and driving pledge is part of the national campaign that kicks off Sept. 19.
The company is calling on the nation to share this pledge with others through Facebook and Twitter.
Representatives are challenging everyone to make a lifelong commitment.
AT&T is also asking all app makers to come up with a no texting and driving solution, something similar to the one employees offer.
"There's a drive mode app that is a great app that we use and basically what it does is, the way that the app works is, it utilizes technology to know that if you turn this app on while you're traveling in your vehicle, it sends a response to the person trying to contact to you to let them know that you're in travel status and that they will contact you once they're completed with their drive," said Gavin Goetz, who is helping with the campaign.
Saginaw Valley State University students are also teaming up with AT&T.
SVSU senior Erica Newman knows all too well the dangers of texting while driving.
"Recently my roommate actually got into an accident. A person that was texting and driving rear ended her when she was at a stop light, so there was really nowhere that she could go to escape. She was just waiting for them to hit her," Newman said.
Even though her friend survived, there are many drivers who don't.
Saginaw County Sheriff Bill Federspiel is placing the sticker on his car as a reminder of how dangerous it is to text behind the wheel.
"I've seen some things that I have never seen before until texting became very popular over the last several years - not only with older adults have got into the praise of texting all the time, but with younger drivers," he said. "Not only is it important for us to be mindful of what we do and make sure that we're not distracted, but there's other distractions that come from the outside that we can't control."
Michigan's driving and texting ban went into effect two years ago. First time offenders face a $100 fine.

Paddington House of Pancakes
YsquareC posted ysquarec.blogspot.com 37 ReviewsSuperb
Pancake: I thought zucchini is raw veggies that goes well with sandwich. I rarely see dishes prepared with cooked zucchini, not to mention pancakes. (ok, the savoury pancake is already a great shock ). One side of the pancake was bake to crust while the other side remain soft and cloudy. The zucchini was not overcook. The veggies remain it's moist with tender juicy filling. Onion sauce: Consuming the plain zucchini pancake is already a bless, but when both the pancake and onion sauce WOW! Exquisite! The oily saute do not moist the crunchy grill like layer of the pancake, but give an extra smoothing texture to the pancake. Need not to explain, the slightly salty sauce is the origin of the savoury taste for the pancake. Salmon: One of the best, or probably the best salmon I ever taste in my life! The fillet was not marinated, but it is reasonably fresh (of course you can't compare the freshness with a freshly slaughted Salmon sashimi~). It was also not over cook or still raw (I had some bad experience of raw and non fresh grill Salmon before -___-), very juicy, slightly oily with a crusty outer layer+skin, *muack* just the way I like my Salmon to be ^ ^ Mash Potato: No surprise in the mash potatoes. I think more milk can be add to enhance it texture and flavour.No comment on the mashed pea and sour cream topping, just decent I would say. Overall: 9.5/10 (A very new concept of specialty restaurant that focus on pancake. Rare, fun, excited, good experience) Taste bud indulgence: 10/10 (PHOP really amazed me, I like the surprises and unexpected taste bud experience, would like to come back to try more ^ ^) Purse saver: 8/10 (I know specialty restaurant will rank at higher price, but out of Asia, pancakes are just some normal daily meal, part of their life! Don't you think we deserve to charge lesser? Although geography constrain the receipt to be norm in Malaysia, but pancakes flour is very cheap in Malaysia! *>.<* ) Atmosphere: 9/10 (Warm with a classy touch, good place to hang out. The dim ligh in the shop is more romantic than the tables located outside)

The UN Special Envoy for Haiti has released updated numbers on international aid pledges from last March's donor conference, showing just a minor increase since the last update in early April. Although many donors claimed they were waiting for the new government to take power before releasing aid disbursements, the recent analysis shows that so far at least, little new aid money has been forthcoming from Haiti's largest donors. In a statement released today, the Special Envoy reported that 37.8 percent ($1.74 billion) of the $4.6 billion in aid pledges had been disbursed through June, up from just 37.2 percent ($1.71 billion) through March. The United States has disbursed just $120 million of the over $900 million appropriated for Haiti, a disbursement rate of just 13.7 percent. This is lower than what had previously been reported.
In an accompanying report, looking at aid to Haiti both before and after the earthquake, Dr. Paul Farmer writes:
After the earthquake, the international community pledged significant financial resources for both the relief and recovery efforts. Yet many of us have been frustrated with the transition between the two phases. Over the past year, donors have disbursed over $1.74 billion for recovery activities, but over half—$2.84 billion—of what was pledged for 2010 and 2011 remains in donors' hands. And yet disbursing funds is only part of the aid picture. We know from our shared experiences in Haiti and elsewhere that the way aid is channelled matters a great deal, and determines its impact on the lives of the Haitian people. For example, with over 99 percent of relief funding circumventing Haitian public institutions, the already challenging task of moving from relief to recovery—which requires government leadership, above all—becomes almost impossible. …
We have heard from the Haitian people time and again that creating jobs and supporting the government to ensure access to basic services are essential to restoring dignity. And we have learned that in order to make progress in these two areas we need to directly invest in Haitian people and their public and private institutions. The Haitian proverb sak vide pa kanpe—"an empty sack cannot stand"—applies here. To revitalize Haitian institutions, we must channel money through them.
As we've previously described, State Department cables Wikileaked last year revealed a State offensive against unfavorable media coverage of the U.S. role in the aid effort, with Hillary Clinton instructing all embassies to "push back" against "inaccurate and unfavorable international media coverage of America's role and intentions in Haiti."
A newly released cable, made available through Wikileaks' partnership with Haiti Liberté and The Nation, reveals in detail how such "push back" worked, in one case at least.
Diligently following up on Secretary Clinton's instructions, the U.S. Embassy in Doha, Qatar noticed that "On Sunday, January 17, Al Jazeera's English (AJE) news channel, headquartered in Doha, began running inaccurate coverage of U.S. and international relief efforts in Haiti." In response, the Embassy took actions resulting in a State Department spokesperson appearing on Aljazeera English in Washington "within hours"; called Aljazeera English Director Tony Burman ahead of another call by Judith A. McHale, Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs, and made sure Burman "understood the serious concerns that the Undersecretary would convey"; and, after said "flakking" took place, monitored Aljazeera coverage, which it noted with satisfaction became "less and less" "inaccurate and confrontational", "evolv[ing] markedly" "with reporting focused on the work being done by U.S. military forces - particularly airdrops - and 50 orphans who had been sent to the United States on an expedited basis." The coverage now included more context, the Embassy noted, including regarding logistical obstacles to U.S. efforts at aid distribution.
Heavy rains dumped up to six inches of rain across Port-au-Prince and throughout much of Haiti Monday night. Continued rain is predicted through Thursday. The storms left 23 dead, injured many and left thousands more displaced. A damage assessment by the Département de la protection civile and the IOM found that 32 of 187 camps were flooded and that nearly 500 families were affected in Cite Soleil, one of the worst hit areas. Some camps were under up to four feet of water. The assessment also noted an increase in the number of cases of cholera, and that "latrines have been reported to overflow in some camps." The deadly storm comes just a week into the Atlantic hurricane season and less than a week after the UN's Nigel Fisher proclaimed that Haiti was better prepared than last year. Following the storm, Jacqueline Charles of the Miami Herald spoke with Elise Young of ActionAid:
ActionAid called for better coordination between the U.S. Agency for International Development, the Haitian government and nongovernmental organizations to prevent further disaster this hurricane season. The new devastation, ActionAid said, highlights the need for newly elected President Michel Martelly to immediately implement a long-term housing strategy for Haitians, hundreds of thousands of whom remain under flimsy tents and tarps nearly 17 months after a catastrophic earthquake. "Disaster mitigation must be prioritized not only in Port-au-Prince, but in vulnerable communities throughout the country that are at risk of severe flooding,'' Elise Young, an analyst with ActionAid, told The Miami Herald.
Mellicker said that reality makes "this year much more complex because of the migration patterns to unrepaired homes that are either red or yellow.'' A home designated as red is one that should be demolished and the yellow label means in need of repair. A controversial USAID-commissioned report said that 64 percent of red homes have been reoccupied in the Greater Port-au-Prince area.
It is now officially hurricane season. Rains have picked up over the previous weeks and this is already causing a surge in the number of new cholera cases. The most recent data from the MSPP (Ministere de la Sante Publique et da la Population) show that there have been over 320,000 cases, 170,000 hospitalizations and that 5,337 people have died as a result of the disease. In a statement on June 1, the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) noted that:
During the last days the MSPP and PAHO/WHO have observed an increase in the number of alerts of cholera cases, mainly in the Departments of South-East, Grand-Anse, South, Center and West. New cholera cases have been reported in IDP camps.
The current cholera outbreak in the Carrefour area is far worse than the one registered in November. At that time, there were a maximum of 900 reported cases of cholera per week. Now, over 300 new cases are registered every single day. However, the number of casualties is far lower than we saw in November as people are able to get help faster.
A draft report produced for USAID has been circulating online and has generated controversy as a result of its estimates of the death toll numbers from last year's devastating earthquake in Haiti which don't match up with previously published figures. While media outlets have latched onto this sensational story and tied it in to the discussion over continued assistance to Haiti, there are other aspects of the paper that appear much more relevant to the current situation of relief efforts in Haiti.
To begin with, the report – even if its results are only partially reliable – makes it clear that there are an extremely large number of people living in damaged and dangerous housing. According to the report, many people have returned to housing once slated for destruction, a phenomenon we have written about previously.
As Timothy Schwartz, the lead author of the study, writes:
It means that as many as 570,178 people (114,493 residential groups or families) are living in 84,951 homes that may collapse in foul weather or in the event of another tremor. That's yellow buildings. For Red buildings it means that 465,996* people (100,430 residential groups) are living in 73,846 buildings that might collapse at any moment. Discussing the growing problem of people returning to unsafe yellow and red buildings, Dr. Miyamoto emphasized the gravity of the situation,
"Occupied yellow and red houses are extremely dangerous since many are a collapse hazard. People occupy these houses despite communications and warnings from MTPTC engineers since they have nowhere to go but the camps. People do not want to stay in these tents. Security is poor and they are exposed to diseases. I see little children sleeping next to the heavily cracked walls every day."
As we previously mentioned, last week the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO), the independent government agency tasked with evaluating the performance of the federal government in selected areas, released their assessment of U.S. efforts in Haiti. The report – which bears the less-than-optimistic title "Haiti Reconstruction: U.S. Efforts Have Begun, Expanded Oversight Still to be Implemented" – offers more a description of the general framework of the relief effort than a critical examination of its results to date. For those not aware of where and how hundreds of millions of dollars of federal funding are being channeled in Haiti, the report has a number of useful pie charts, flow charts and bar graphs that provide a clearer picture of where U.S. funds are being spent, and where they aren't. Although the report offers no examination of whether the programs implemented by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) are actually effective, it does shine a light on some of the structural problems affecting the international relief mission.
The four broad sectors receiving U.S. funding are 1) Infrastructure and Energy (46% of total funds); 2) Governance and Rule of Law (16%); Health and other basic services (13%); and Food and Economic Security (7%). The breakdown of spending within each sector provides evidence of misplaced priorities. For instance, while significant funds are being channeled towards improving Haiti's energy infrastructure, roads and permanent housing, only a comparatively small amount of allocations are going to rubble removal ($25 million), although the continued presence of rubble throughout Port-au-Prince remains the biggest obstacle to the reconstruction of Haiti's devastated capital city.
Though the U.S. has allocated over $98 million to health care, only $10 million is being channeled to education (or approximately 1% of total U.S. spending on Haiti's reconstruction). Haiti's education sector was in crisis well before the earthquake – with over 60% of students dropping out of school before the sixth grade and the literacy rate hovering around 50%. There are now heaps of rubble where many schools stood and the vast majority of the hundreds of thousands of children in tent camps have no access to any form of education. Given the crucial role that education must play in Haiti's reconstruction, it's difficult to understand why this "sub-sector" is receiving so little funding.
The U.S. Government Accountability Office released a report last week noting, among other things, that the Interim Haiti Reconstruction Commission (IHRC) is still not operational, although it still has several months to do so before its mandate ends:
although the commission's mandate ends in October 2011, IHRC is not fully operational due to delays in staffing the commission and defining the role of its Performance and Anticorruption Office--which IHRC officials cited as key to establishing the commission as a model of good governance.
although the commission's mandate ends in October 2011, IHRC is not fully operational due to delays in staffing the commission and defining the role of its Performance and Anticorruption Office--which IHRC officials cited as key to establishing the commission as a model of good governance.
The GAO goes on to note a significant disconnect between what the Haitian government has identified as priorities, and what IHRC has green-lighted:
although the Haitian government identified nearly equal 18-month funding requirements for debris removal and agriculture, IHRC has approved about 7 times more funding for agriculture projects.
although the Haitian government identified nearly equal 18-month funding requirements for debris removal and agriculture, IHRC has approved about 7 times more funding for agriculture projects.
This is perhaps not surprising considering the IHRC's problems in ensuring involvement of Haitian partners in decision-making.
The debris removal, of course, is necessary in part to clear space for new shelters, and getting displaced persons out of IDP camps, where cholera – abetted by a severe lack of adequate sanitation – can be a serious danger. (Deutsche Presse-Agentur reported this weekend on a new milestone in post-quake tragedy: 5,200 cholera deaths and 300,000 infections over the past seven months.) Yet just 20 percent of the rubble has been removed, according to various officials. USAID has not made rubble removal much of a priority either, according to the USAID Office of the Inspector General.
An editorial in the New York Times today describes the findings of a UN report that shows the cholera outbreak "may have originated" at a MINUSTAH camp, and says "The fact that the disease is still spreading is a reminder of how much more help Haiti needs and the consequences of continued neglect."
The editorial concludes:
Even as relief agencies are winding down their presence in Haiti, about 680,000 people are still living in camps and waiting for permanent shelter. Life in this setting is precarious, without adequate access to latrines and safe drinking water.
The United Nations' overall appeal to respond to the epidemic, for $175 million, is 48 percent financed. Haiti's continuing health emergency may have been overlooked in a crush of world events, but while the sick and dying are waiting for the world to respond, the disease is not.

The editorial was, unfortunately, all too well-timed, as the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) and the Pan-American Health Organization issued a new warning today of expected "(fresh) outbreaks of cholera in the West, including Port-au-Prince, South and Southeast Departments" accompanying heavy rains and possible flooding.
As we have recently noted, the ongoing cholera epidemic – which now seems to be entering a deadly resurgence, and could kill as many as 11,000 people this year, is closely linked to inadequate sanitation in the IDP camps. This is a theme also addressed in OCHA's warning today: "More water means more cholera and the sanitation in the country is still very weak," Reuters reported OCHA spokesperson Emmanuelle Schneider as saying.
Poor sanitation, a lack of suitable transitional housing, and the poorly funded cholera appeal are all markers of the international community's failings to come through for the people of Haiti. Now, members of the U.S. Congress are demanding answers. Yesterday, the House passed, by voice vote, bill HR 1016, which, the Miami Herald reports, requires the Obama administration to send to Congress
a report to assess the overall progress of relief, recovery, and reconstruction of Haiti and requires the president to assess within six months the effectiveness of U.S. assistance to Haiti.
a report to assess the overall progress of relief, recovery, and reconstruction of Haiti and requires the president to assess within six months the effectiveness of U.S. assistance to Haiti.
…according to the Rep. Frederica Wilson (D – FL), who added an amendment to the bill regarding deportees.
Also covering the bill's passage, AP's Jim Abrams reported that:
Earlier we reported on an Inspector General report that is extremely critical of USAID/OFDA and their grantees' efforts in providing housing to displaced Haitians. The audit, however, also raised a separate issue, based on the fact that "USAID/OFDA's mandate is to save lives, alleviate suffering, and reduce the economic impact of the recent earthquake in Haiti."
The audit reported that:
As part of the audit, the audit team visited a camp where USAID/OFDA was funding the construction of 800 shelters. There we met a resident who was dying of breast cancer. The woman's entire right breast was an open wound, and she was suffering great pain. Concerned for the welfare of this person, the audit team alerted grantee officials that the woman needed immediate medical help. The audit team members asked whether the grantee could use their knowledge of local community resources to seek help. However, the auditors were told that many people were sick in Haiti and that helping one person would lead to others asking for help.
The audit team informed USAID/OFDA of the situation, but was told by a USAID/OFDA official in Haiti that USAID could not do anything and that the issue should be taken up with the grantee.
An audit by the USAID Office of the Inspector General (OIG) that looked at USAID efforts to provide transitional housing in Haiti was published a few weeks ago and has yet to receive any attention from the media. The report, however, is extremely damning in its assessment of US government efforts to provide housing and represents the first real attempt at accountability in the failure to adequately provide housing for those displaced by the earthquake.
The audit looks at progress on 16 grants, totaling $139 million that were awarded from January 2010 through June 2010. The biggest recipients of these funds were CHF International, Catholic Relief Services, World Vision and GOAL Ireland. The full list of grantees is available in the report.
The audit found that USAID/OFDA grantees completed just 6 percent of planned transitional shelters by the onset of last year's hurricane season (June 2010). By November 2010, just 22 percent of shelters had been completed. The audit notes that grantees will not be able to complete all the shelters they had planned due to "rising costs and unrealistic initial cost estimates." There is also a 65 percent shortfall in the efforts to repair "14,375 homes minimally damaged in the earthquake."
The inspector general made a series of recommendations to USAID, however they note that, "No management decisions have been reached on Recommendations 1, 3, 5, 6, and 7." There are only seven recommendations.

Three oil companies are set to begin exploration in Somaliland, making it possible that the break-away state will drill its first well as early as 2014, oil minister Hussein Abdi Dualeh says.
Australia-based Jacka Resources, London-listed Ophir Energy, and Genel Energy, which is headed by former BP chief executive Tony Hayward, will all start extensive exploration activities by early next year.
"There was very low activity for years and now three groups are starting a major exploration programme all at once. 2013 is going to be a big year for us, ushering in the biggest exploration programme that this country has seen in the past 21 years," Mr Dualeh told This is Africa in a telephone interview. "By 2014 we are hoping to drill our first exploratory well," he added.
Somaliland, which declared independence from Somalia in 1991 when the central government collapsed, is not internationally recognised as a country, despite operating its own political system, government institutions, and currency. However, investors have been attracted by the country's geology and a string of hydrocarbon discoveries across East Africa.
"The geology is very similar to that of Yemen, and Yemen has proven reserves of between 7bn and 9bn barrels, depending on who you listen to," Mr Dualeh explains. "We have early indications that there are working petroleum systems present in Somaliland, it's just a matter of finding commercial quality."
The three oil groups operate seven blocks between them through the country's central and south-western regions. This is the first foray into Africa for Anglo-Turkish Genel Energy, which announced in August that it had the rights to two blocks in Somaliland, amongst others in Morocco and Côte d'Ivoire. "This is their first entrance into the African continent and they are starting big. They are investing almost $30m dollars [in Somaliland] next year," Mr Dualeh says, adding that the group's delegation, headed by the former BP boss Tony Hayward, will be visiting the country on November 6.
A spokesperson for Genel declined to comment on capital expenditure in Somaliland, but said that it will invest $400m in its African activity over three years.
Somaliland is looking to give out its remaining onshore and offshore blocks and is in negotiation with unnamed groups, while still courting new investors. "We have not yet closed any deals, but we are in talks with some," Mr Dualeh says. "We are looking for viable oil and gas companies that have a proven track record and the technical and financial capacity to deliver."
In the mining sector, unnamed private equity firms backed by Chinese, Korean and Indian investors are also developing coal, manganese and iron ore projects, he says: "We have several licenses that have been issued there are good prospects to start mining iron ore in the coming year."
Firms operating in unrecognized states encounter difficulties in the insurance sector. However, investors do not see a lot of above ground risk, Mr Dualeh argues. "We fully control the territory and have a working government. We've been a planning, governing country for 21 years, and we have gone through four democratically elected governments. We have very good access to markets, and a very conducive environment for investment."
East Africa is experiencing a resource bonanza. In March this year, Tullow Oil hit oil in the north-western Turkana region of Kenya, while global oil and gas producer BG Group announced a huge gas find inTanzania. Hydrocarbon fields have been discovered across Uganda and Mozambique. Somaliland's semi-autonomous neighbour Puntland has also been accelerating oil exploration. The Canadian firm Africa Oil began drilling two wells in January – Somalia's first in 21 years.

"So star bucks?" Billie said. Frank bowed down to him. "Yes master!" He said and laughed, he stood up and kissed Billie's cheek.. Billie smiled "Come on!" They both laughed. Someone snapped a photo of Frank kissing Billie's cheek. They turned to see someone running. Billie helped frank up. "That was hilarious!" Billie said intrigued. "Frank walk behind me dancing like weirdo." He commanded. Frank did it the whole way to star bucks.
When they got home that night they were so hyper. They had had several cups of coffee. Mike had his arms crossed and looked like he was crying. "Frank you promised!" He said. Frank was confused. Mike threw his phone to him and stormed off. Frank flipped it over. There was a picture of him kissing Billie and kneeling. "Oh no…Billie do you like mike?" Frank asked. Billie looked at his feet and blushed.
"Go talk to him…he really likes you too. Trust me Billie." Frank kissed his lips. "I won't be able to do that though, so go before I keep you for myself!" Frank ordered and Pushed Billie. "Uh…Thanks Frank." Frank nodded and grabbed his bag. "See you round Billie,"
Billie nodded "See ya Frankie." He smiled.
Frank found himself showing up by the old Starbucks. He walked clear over town. He saw Ray's car. He pulled the hoody down so you couldn't tell it was him. He walked down to the bar and ordered a cup. When he saw at the booth he glanced around. Ray and Mikey were talking about him.
M- I know…Gerard's not looking good Ray!
R- Mikey…I see him like that again I will personally kill Frank. Gerard's getting into his old habits. I won't see it again!
Frank leaped up and ran to Mikey, he taped his shoulder. "Hi." He squeaked. Mikey looked puzzled. "Uh hey kid…you want an autograph or something. Frank was confused. He remembered the hoody. He pulled the hoody down. Mikey leaped up and hugged him.
He held tight onto Mikey "I've missed you all so, so, so, much." Frank said breaking down. He was crying. Ray sat there with his arms crossed "Frank, your such an idiot." He said. Frank let go looking at Ray. He stood there waiting. Ray stood up and walked over and punched him. "I hope you will show up to practice, but then again, I can't let you hurt Gerard. So if you come, you stay, if not, I will personally dump your stuff into the river! Got it Iero?" He spat. Frank stood there, he couldn't speak. He finally got his words out "Mikey, tell Gerard I love him, and I'm never coming home." He walked out of the star bucks. Mikey ran out to find deserted streets. He sucked down to his knees. He had a feeling what Frank was going to do.
He called Gerard. He was fully awake near the end of the first sentence. He was grabbing his bag in 3 seconds. He had a notebook in his hand. He ran across Belleview for frank ending behind Frank's old house when he herd soft sobbing. He climbed the latter to the tree house and busted in to find a sobbing Frank with earphones in his ears. He softly kissed hi lips. Frank's eyes flew open and he backed away from the blurry shape saying for him to kill him or to leave. He took one ear phone out. "Please leave" Frank whispered still looking at the blurry shape, still not knowing who it was. "Please Frankie, I can't let go." The shape said. Frank recognized the voice and held him so close he thought they would become one. "You have to let me go gee, I can't stand to hurt you." Frank whispers. Gerard looked at him and chuckled "You have absolutely no idea how much it hurts to know you were gone and no one knew where you were! You could have been lying underneath 6 feet, or high, or well, you get my point! I thought you were going to do something stupid. If I lose you, I lose all will to live." Gerard whispered into his ear. Frank held tighter and lightly kissed his lips. "I don't believe I'm worth so much…but I can't take a chance, lets go home." Frank said.
When we got to our apartment I couldn't believe it hadn't been cleaned. Ray was sleeping on the couch, Mikey was wrapped around there and they were both sweaty and topless. I and Gerard didn't want to find out if they were completely naked though. Bob was in his chair smirking at us. He chuckled "I can't believe the midget came back." He teased and hugged Frank. Frank looked up into his blue eyes and said "I was always a sucker for blue yes." Bob pushed him off and he laughed so load Mikey woke up and blushed. Gerard shook his head and leaned in "Slut."

At 1pm Turkish-time today Pope Benedict XVI arrived at Ankara, Turkey's Esemboğa International Airport, for his historic visit. The Pontiff was greeted by Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and, after a brief welcome, traveled by motorcade to the Ataturk Mausoleum.
Touching down amid a large cordon of security, the Pope's plane was met by the Prime Minister. Erdogan was previously going to miss Benedict's arrival, due to a NATO meeting in Latvia, but in the last few days adjusted his schedule and delayed his departure.
The two heads of state shook hands and processed from the plane on a red carpet.
"I want to express happiness to see you and your delegation in our country," Erdogan told the Pope. He described the Pope's visit as "very meaningful."
"I really wanted to come to Turkey because Turkey has become a bridge ... between the religions," Benedict reportedly told the Prime Minister through an interpreter.
"It is a democratic, Islamic country and a bridge," the Pope said. "I wanted to come to Turkey since becoming pope because I love this culture."
"I want to reiterate the solidarity between the cultures," Benedict said. "This is our duty."
After a brief, private meeting between the two, the Pontiff was ushered to a bulletproof car, for travel to the mausoleum of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the "Father of Turkey" who was the founder and first president of the modern Turkish Republic.
Pope Benedict stood briefly in prayer at the grave of Ataturk before proceeding to a small podium to sign the mausoleum's ceremonial guest book.
The Holy Father wrote in the book, "In this land, a meeting point of different religions and cultures, and bridge between Asia and Europe, I gladly make my own the words of the Founder of the Turkish Republic: 'Peace at Home, peace in the World'."
The Pope's trip, which was initially designed as one of primarily eccumenical importance - highlighted by the Holy Father's visit with the spiritual head of the Orthodox Church - has since taken on a more interreligious and intercultural tone. Many in the largely Islamic country have protested the arrival of the Pontiff, due to a speech he gave earlier this year in Germany which was widely misinterpreted as a direct attack on Islam.
Several Islamic radicals have staged protests in advance of the Pope's arrival and security has been heightened to protect the Pontiff.
According to the Associated Press, Turkish police monitored the highway leading to Ankara from the airport. And snipers were positioned atop buildings and hilltops. In wooded areas along the route, soldiers in camouflage fatigues set up observation points and sniffer dogs passed along bridges.
Before departing for Ankara, the Pontiff said in Rome that he was embarking on a "trip of dialogue, brotherhood and reconciliation at this difficult moment in history."
After departing from the Ataturk Mausoleum the Pope met privately with the President of Turkey, at the Presidential Palace.
Before the day is over, Pope Benedict will also visit with the President of Religious Affairs for the country and with members of the Diplomatic Corps to Turkey.
At 1pm Turkish-time today Pope Benedict XVI arrived at Ankara, Turkey's Esemboğa International Airport, for his historic visit. The Pontiff was greeted by Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and, after a brief welcome, traveled by motorcade to the Ataturk Mausoleum.

PLAYERS: David Otunga
David Otunga talked about life before WWE during an interview with BodyBuilding.com. "I earned my Bachelor's Degree in psychology from University of Illinois, and following that I managed a cognitive neuroscience lab at Columbia University. After that I went to Harvard for law school … and then reality TV came calling, so I starred in VH1′s "I Love NY 2." Otunga also spoke on growing up very different than the way he is now. "I didn't always look like I do today. Growing up as a kid in Elgin, IL I was short, chubby, I had thick glasses and – to make things worse – I did pretty well in school … Kids used to make fun of my all the time … Everyone just seemed so athletic and so buff, and I just wasn't … Around my Freshman year I decided to start taking the gym seriously." While on the road with WWE, Otunga still finds time to work out at least five times every week. "Luckily, I'm able to find a gym everywhere we go – that's my first priority.

Disaster Exercise Management, Part 2: Leading Practices
Using leading practices to maximize the training benefit and preparedness opportunity of your next emergency exercise
Avoid Down-Time Using Supplemental Activities
For large-scale exercises involving a diverse group of participants (multiple departments, companies, agencies, functional groups, etc.) there are bound to be time periods in which one or more groups are idle while waiting on completion of activities by others. Case in point would be incident commanders who wait while a HAZMAT team cleans up a tanker truck spill. Indeed there are many other examples. Such idle periods usually offer little or no training benefit. A challenge then for the exercise director is to fill in these periods with activities having real training value. Of course, another option is to let the idle participants engage in their regular duties, but this is not always a viable option.
Such "fill in" training activities can be quite varied, and even unrelated to the exercise disaster. For example, HAZMAT "clean up" teams could be given a 1-hour training course on hazmat procedures and use of new operations support software while they wait on the search and rescue phase of the exercise to finish. A key to spotting such opportunities is a detailed time line of activities that identifies participants who will be idle at various points in the exercise.
Make Performance Measurement a Centerpiece of the Exercise
In a prior article, the topic of performance measurements was covered at length (Performance Measurement for Disaster Exercises, by W.F. Comtois, March 2005). As noted in the referenced article, performance measurements are on the critical path to providing actionable feedback and valuable lessons to the exercise participants. First and foremost, the objectives of the exercise must be served by the performance measurements, which no doubt will include providing valuable feedback to participants. An exercise without a good set of performance measures will deprive its participants of the best possible learning experience and on-lookers of an unambiguous assessment of preparedness.
Utilize Innovative Observation Techniques
Observers can play a central role in not just collecting data for performance evaluation but also in real-time monitoring of the exercise's progress. Without observers, it might not be possible to measure performance or provide substantive feedback to participants. And with respect to real-time monitoring of the exercise, the observers can be the "eyes and ears" of the exercise director or command center.
When deciding what exactly to observe, be forewarned of the temptation to throw in everything but the kitchen sink. Such overly zealous observation plans can quickly flood the exercise director and participants with a sea of hard-to-decipher data. Instead, observation specifications should be backed out of what performance measurements will be used and what aspects of the exercise need to be monitored in real-time and recorded for future reference. Selection of the human observer(s) should be done in accordance with these requirements and with proper care to ensure adequate skills for the observation tasks at hand.
Technology can be a powerful tool for the observer. In situations where the human observer is stationed in the field, mobile computing devices with "smart" recording tools can guide them through the observation recording process and capture these observations in standardized electronic forms. Such observation aids can reduce human error, ensure consistent comparisons across observation stations, and directly store observations in standardized electronic forms that are compliant with governmental requirements. And in some cases, human observers might be replaced with remote recording devices such as webcams.
Reuse and Repeat
An important step in running exercises more frequently and efficiently is to reuse various elements of prior exercises. Reuse cuts down on work and cost of future exercises, and in turn can reduce time to prepare for an exercise. Items to reuse can be rather varied - for example, observation procedures, equipment and facilities are just a few. The antithesis of reuse is "build it from the ground up each time".

I still have a random bird in my apartment, but we're learning to co-exist a little better today. Yesterday, I emailed Aaron at least 20 times complaining about the non-stop chirping, seeds all over the floor, and threatening to put the bird in the basement. Today, I'm calling him "Yellow" (very imaginative), playing him the Lady Gaga station on Pandora, and feeding him lettuce. Yellow LOVES lettuce (I read that it's okay to give them produce…someone correct me if I'm wrong!), but he prefers to sing to his own tune. It's a tune that keeps me from being able to form a complete thought.
And while Yellow is loving the romaine leaves, I've found myself in a bit of a salad rut recently. I'm bored with romaine and baby spinach, and I already plow through kale at an absurd rate. Seriously – I can eat an entire head of kale on my own, especially when it's in chip form, and still want more at my next meal.
Then I remembered the brussels sprouts I picked up at TJ's over the weekend. No, not the crazy-looking ones still on the stalk (has anyone else seen these?), but the ones that actually fit in the refrigerator.
I thought about using my go-to method for vegetables and roasting them, but brussels sprouts are actually quite delicious raw, when you remove the bitter ends and slice them really thin.
I added in a few raisins and roasted sunflower seeds to create a nice combination of sweet and salty, and then dressed it all with a mix of lemon, agave, and olive oil. It's almost too simple to be called a recipe, but it's a great alternative to the more common romaine or spinach salads.
And it's perfect when you only have a few minutes to throw something together. Or when you take in a stray bird and then can't get past the incessant
screeching singing to make anything more complicated.
Oh right, that's just me.
- 1 C. Brussels Sprouts, thinly sliced
- 1-2 Tbs. Raisins (dried cranberries would also work)
- 1-2 Tbs. Roasted, Lightly Salted Sunflower Seeds
- Juice of ½ a Lemon
- ½ Tbs. Olive Oil
- ½ Tbs. Agave (or Honey/Maple Syrup)
- In a bowl, toss together the sliced brussels sprouts, raisins, and sunflower seeds.
- To make the dressing, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, and agave.
- Pour dressing over greens and toss to coat.
What are you enjoying for lunch today?
