Circumcising young boys on religious grounds amounts to grievous bodily harm, a German court ruled Tuesday in a landmark decision.
The regional court in Cologne, western Germany, ruled that the "fundamental right of the child to bodily integrity outweighed the fundamental rights of the parents", a judgement that is expected to set a legal precedent.

Circumcision is Associated with Adult Difficulty in Identifying and Expressing Feelings
This preliminary study investigates what role early trauma might have in alexithymia (difficulty in identifying and expressing feelings) acquisition for adults by controlling for male circumcision. Three hundred self-selected men were administered the Toronto Twenty-Item Alexithymia Scale checklist and a personal history questionnaire. The circumcised men had age-adjusted alexithymia scores 19.9 percent higher than the intact men; were 1.57 times more likely to have high alexithymia scores; were 2.30 times less likely to have low alexithymia scores; had higher prevalence of two of the three alexithymia factors (difficulty identifying feelings and difficulty describing feelings); and were 4.53 times more likely to use an erectile dysfunction drug. Alexithymia in this population of adult men is statistically significant for having experienced circumcision trauma and for erectile dysfunction drug use.

Circumcision Associated with Sexual Difficulties in Men and Women
A new national survey in Denmark, where about 5% of men are circumcised, examined associations of circumcision with a range of sexual measures in both sexes. Circumcised men were more likely to report frequent orgasm difficulties, and women with circumcised spouses more often reported incomplete sexual needs fulfillment and frequent sexual function difficulties overall, notably orgasm difficulties, and painful sexual intercourse. Thorough examination of these matters in areas where male circumcision is more common is warranted.

Circumcision is Associated with Premature Ejaculation
Premature ejaculation (PE) is common. However, it has been underreported and undertreated. The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of PE and to investigate possible associated factors of PE. This cross-sectional study was conducted at a primary care clinic over a 3-month period in 2008. Men aged 18-70 years attending the clinic were recruited, and they completed self-administered questionnaires. A total of 207 men were recruited with a response rate of 93.2%. Their mean age was 46.0 years. The prevalence of PE was 40.6%. No significant association was found between age and PE. Multivariate analysis showed that erectile dysfunction, circumcision, and sexual intercourse =5 times in 4 weeks were predictors of PE. These associations need further confirmation.

+1First of all, not one single study has found any foals with post circumcision stress disorder. Second, there are far more likely causes for each of those problems. Circumcised stallions are likely to be more religious, which means they are likely to not have had sex prior to marriage, which would account with both struggles pleasing their mares and experiencing either orgasm difficulties or PE. The fact that the first is a Denmark study, where circumcision is much less common adds to the impact religion would have on it.
It is very unlikely that circumcision has anything to do with these results in reality. - Ken 2012/06/27 02:45:10Disagree+5It is an interesting ruling and there is an argument to be made. Unfortunately, the German courts are not an appropriate venue for this decision. This ruling has a significant impact on Jews and Muslims living in Germany. Since Jews and many Muslims are Semitic people and Germany has a history of radical anti-semiticism, this ruling by a German court is not acceptable regardless of the merits of the arguments.
That is exactly what it is - I am reasonable sure that most of these people who are so self righteous about circumcision have no problem with abortion.
+1No it is not Circumcision is as far as all Europeans are concerned a barbaric custom and it is after al the responsibility of the law to look after the well being of its people you will find this issue popping up in al civilised countries. There is nothing antiemetic about protecting an individual child physical integrity. The same rule apply in Female genital mutilation.
I happen to share the opinion that circumcision is a senseless custom. But WW II was not that long ago. During WW II most Europeans cooperated with German attempts to exterminate the Jews. It is impossible for me not to suspect that this is another attempt by the Europeans to eliminate the practice of Judaism....and when a German court makes the ruling, my suspicion increases.
+1Perhaps you should have a look at the following site then. http://www.jewishcircumcision...
these are Jews speaking about the practice. -
No matter how many Jews speak out against the practice, a German court ruling against a Jewish religious practice is not significant. An Israeli court ruling that circumcision was barbaric would be news and is likely to change world opinion.
+1There are actions happening in the UN that are talking about this point. it has nothing to do with religion. It is a simple mater of advanced societies starting to put their foot down in attempting to stamp out genital mutilation. And that is what it is. Every person has a right to keep the body parts they were born with that is natural justice. Nothing more. and those jews are speaking about the practice that is right and the Germans are speaking about human rights,Perhaps we should hear from the infants that end up resenting having their genitals mutilated shortly after birth. Or we could all pray for them so that god undoes the damage.
The topic here is a ruling by a German court not UN activity. A German court does not have standing to rule on Jewish religious practices and therefore does not have standing to establish precedent on this topic....Neither does any other European court except perhaps the Netherlands or Britain.
+1Wait a minute! I am sure that the USA is a country that will eventually do the decent thing. Freedom of religion is one thing, but then there is the really important issue which is freedom from religion. Do you mean to say that the courts in the USA don't have the power to protect children from religious harm? The state is not a religious organisation and therefore should not make rulings on religious grounds. Circumcision is in fact a form of mutilation and children have a natural right to expect to be protected from harmful religious actions by any decent state until they are adults, unless they happen to live in the Middle East where both male and female genital mutilation runs rampant.
Again this topic is about the ruling of a single German Court. US courts do not rely on German precedents. These courts have not been asked to rule on this topic. Until those courts rule, it is rather pointless to speculate on how they will rule.
The German ruling is easily understood. After all German courts have precedents which say there is no place in Germany for Jews and therefore it is acceptable to confiscate their property and kill them. Similarly German precedents indicate it is humane to sterilize Gypsies and other minorities.
A German court ruling on this topic is not likely to help those who wish to suggest that circumcision is barbaric. The more you argue that German courts can creates such a precedent the less I agree with you. If you really believe what you are arguing, it would be best to make sure this German ruling is not publicized rather than vice versa. -
+1The question was is infant circumcision assault. Well it is the percentage of Jews in Germany is nothing compared to the number of Muslims that live there. Germans and for that matter all of Europe Asia china and Russia don't mutilate their boys penises, they see it as a disgusting thing to do to a child. The subject has come to the fore because the increase in Muslims is degusting the majority of the population who don't believe any one has the right to mutilate children. It is as simple as that. While you are at it try reading up on what happened in Europe from a perspective other then that of the US propaganda machine. Every country has in its history thing they should be ashamed of. Perhaps you should d ask why the US has a policy of denying that it is responsible for the malformed children being born in Vietnam that are being born to this day.
The question is not about circumcision. It is about a German court ruling on religious circumcision. I might reach a different conclusion if this ruling had been an anomaly in German law, but Germany has a number of laws which make it difficult for Jews and Muslims to practice their faith in Germany. For example, there are laws which make it illegal to prepare kosher (and the Muslim equivalent) meat.
I might reach a different conclusion, if this ruling had been a anomaly in German history. But there are still a few individuals who managed to survive Hitler's final solution. The German law appears intent on harassing Muslims and Jews into converting to Christianity, becoming atheists, or hiding their faith. Thus modern German law appears a variation the Nazi Final Solution.
If you wish to debate the morality of circumcising male babies, you will need to find a venue that doesn't include German courts. -
+1The interesting part is that the ruling did not concern a jewish child but a Muslim child. I supose that litle point sliped by you while you were rigorously investigating that on which you are comenting.
"A court in Cologne has ruled that circumcision, performed for religious reasons on male children below an age where they can meaningfully consent to the operation, amounts to an unwarranted and irreparable interference with their bodily integrity. Furthermore, it interferes with the right of a child "to decide for himself later on to what religion he wishes to belong".
The ruling, in a case involving a four-year-old Muslim boy who was injured in a botched procedure, has been strongly criticised by both Muslim and Jewish groups in Germany and beyond." -
You obviously don't read. My posts mention both Muslims and Jews. The word antisemitism is very precise and means against Semitic people. The Arabs and the Jews are both Semitic people.
A specific circumcision may be improperly performed and thus be mutilation of a child, Just as a single appendectomy may be botched. Commonly such cases are considered malpractice and the injured party receives monetary compensation. A botched appendectomy, however, cannot be generalized to reach the conclusion that all appendectomies are mutilation. There is nothing antisemitic about a judge ruling a specific circumcision was mutilation. Generalizing the facts in this case to all circumcisions is antisemitic within the context of German courts. The same ruling in a different context, e.g., an Israeli court, would be significant in other jurisdictions. -
+1I did but did not change what I said because I was a bit lazy. Mutilation has nothing to do with religion to mutilate something you have to vandalise it. And I don't see how anyone can say otherwise in the case if circumcision. a person is having their body altered to what another person would like to see on the speculation that they would get rewarded for this by some super being in the sky. That is just not in the realm of reason and no judge unless corrupted could have ruled otherwise. as for trying to convert Muslims and Jews to Christianity, Germany is not a particularly Christian country.
Western condemnation of female circumcision without discussing male is irrational. It is possible there is a basic human right to bodily integrity as you suggest. Protecting this right, however, is far from my top human right priority. During the last century, Germany attempted to murder an entire ethnic population. There have been other more recent attempts at ethnic cleansing within Europe, Africa, and Asia.
Permitting Germany to complete it attempt at ethnic cleansing under the guise of human rights would sends an extremely inconsistent message to less mature nations and leaders. As a result, German courts do not have the moral authority to suggest a semitic religious practice goes against basic human rights.
So if you want to build a case against circumcision. you will need to find a country which has welcomed those targeted for ethnic cleansing. This makes Israeli courts the ideal venue to establish such a human right. -
+1What the hell are you talking about? You don't kill people by denying them the right to mutilate their kids in your country, as a mater of fact circumcision can kil kids and does. By the way are they also trying to kill of the Muslims which are the religion of the child that was mutilated? Israeli courts would hardly fall into the realm of the upholders of human rights. That country seems to be working along the same moratilty that Her Hitler did only they are doing it to their indigenous population. It seems that they learned some thing during the war. In any case what your top priority is is neither here nor there, what is right and what is wrong is what this is realy about.
m -
Ethnic cleansing is "the planned deliberate removal from a specific territory, persons of a particular ethnic group, by force or intimidation, in order to render that area ethnically homogenous."
Since the Germans used circumcision as a means to identify Jews, outlawing circumcision is by German definition outlawing Jews. The distinction between using the police rather than the SS to enforce the law is a distinction without a difference. -
+1So if we were to expand on your reasoning if a Jew was to drive according to the road rules of Israel refusing to abide by the rules of Germany, imposing the local law upon him would be ethnic cleansing? Anyway since the Germans according to you have plans for reopening the death camps it stands to reason that they encourage Jews to mutilate their infants genitals not only is the practice an unhealthy and painful affront to these little children. It also makes them easier to find when the time for the new final solution is at hand. I don't believe the Germans have any such agenda however your reasoning is amusing to work with.
You are deliberately not following....so this is my last time. The world will not accept any opinion from a German court which says an Jewish religious practice is immoral because the evil committed by Germany against Jews was too egregious.
If you attempt to use a German court to build the case against circumcision, you will be a laughing stock in the world's legal community and are likely to establish that parents have the human right to circumcise their children.
So continue your arguments but I don't care. -
+1I know exactly what you are saying and you are talking utter nonsense. The Germans are just one of many European countries that are contemplating this move. Besides the German court is not looking for approval they made a decision regarding the genital mutilation of a Muslim child according to the law of the land as it exists now. Their law was not changed it was merely interpreted. When it boils right down to it the same laws exist in all developed democracies already, they are just not being upheld as they should for political reasons. The question was however whether I agree with the courts decision that infant circumcision is assault and Yes I agree that it is definitely assault.
So you are oblivious to men and boys forced to drop their pants to see if they were circumcised and those that were got loaded in the cattle cars. We should just forget that, we should forget the holocaust and Germany. This is anti-semitism pure and simple.
- Dodgerfan 2012/06/27 02:26:44
You are correct. But there was no answer to choose from other than yes or no and in order to give a response I had to use one or the other. I merely gave the reason for circumcision at infancy versus adulthood.
If personal freedom is given to a newborn or child then it would not receive immunizations, education, proper nutrition, guidance, etc. These things are naturally placed in the responsibility of the parent(s).
But do parents have the right to kill the child? Nature says that if the adult of any species has that right then that species will cease to exist. However, there is an inborn trait among parent(s) to protect and nourish their offspring. But, like any other good thing in life, there are perverts who ruin it for the rest. -
+1I disagree with your logic. Unlike health food, education, and other substances needed for survival, circumcision is a permanent and drastic measure taken that causes excruciating pain for a child. When it's done, you can't reverse it. There are often severe complications of the surgery, and many infants die of it. It is an unnecessary risk it seems.
So how many infants die of not being circumcised? 0. The less children that die, the better. I would never risk my child's life getting some dumb cosmetic surgery that they do not consent to. Also, the majority of those 2.1 million boys (which is probably an overstatement) are not circumcised.
It is not cosmetic it is religious in nature. I am circumcised and I am very happy I was done at infancy rather then needing to do it when I would remember.
Then you should not have been circumcised. The bible specifically states that no one is to be circumcised anymore.

A Heart of Gold
Janie, my spunky little girl with a heart of gold, has been asking me to pray for "the little boys and girls in India". She wants me to pray that they would have "mommies and daddies that would love them and take care of them". We've been talking about adoption a lot, and Janie's compassion has been revealing itself.
The other day, I thought we needed to sponsor another child through World Vision. I asked Janie to come and help me find a little girl from India that we could sponsor. After we picked out Ismika, a little 4 year old girl, Janie wanted to know when she was going to arrive at our house. I had to explain to Janie that we weren't adopting a girl yet, only sponsoring her. Needless to say Janie was sad and then proceeded to beg me to bring home a little girl from India. I have a lot to learn from my sweet little Janie.

Horse & Carts
There is always one problem that I run into with every personal project that I have ever worked on. It's a cart before the horse kind of situation. The scenario goes like this...
I can't entice users to use the finished product unless I have good data but, I can't have good data unless I have users.
and if I actually had a cart and a horse, it would visually look a lot like this...
So you might be wondering how I've solved this issue. I have 2 lessons that I've learned thus far, which I thought I would share.
First, figure out where and how you are going to get the data before you put all the work into the project. It can be pretty defeating realizing you have a product with no good way to entice users.
Secondly, don't build a product and then try to figure out how your going to get the data needed to get the users.
Hopefully you noticed that both those lessons are the same. What I'm saying is that figuring out how to get the data you need requires ingenuity. Sometimes building the product is the easy part. Figuring out the problem of having data without the userbase is the hard part and ultimately means the success or failure of the product.

Gold Rush Fever
I keep asking the same questions over and over again. Why are there so many weather, mail, calendar and to-do apps? Why do people keep coming out with the newer, "better" versions of these apps? Why isn't anyone trying to build innovative apps? I believe I might have come up with two answers to these questions.
The first answer relates specifically to mail, to-do and calendar apps. People are looking for their app to do something that the app could never actually do. People expect to actually get to-do items done if they just had a better, easier way to manage their lives. They expect that they'll respond to more emails if they just had a better, cleaner interface. Unfortunately, these apps don't get things done for you.
If you watch Twitter long enough you'll find that nobody is ever satisfied with the current product. They jump ship for the next and more beautiful to-do app, only to find that they are (still) unable to check off their to-dos and respond to their emails. The issue is that people expect those apps to do a job they can never do, and developers keep trying to build the next holy grail of apps. Which leads me to my second answer.
Because of the ever elusive satisfaction of the customer, app developer/designers see this as a way to make some cold hard cash. What they think is that they of all people have discovered the true interface for making mail easy. It's like the California gold rush of 1848. People have gold rush fever because it appears that there is money in creating something better than what is already out there.
The truth is, the odds are extremely high that you will fail when hundreds have already mined the same ideas for the gold. The entreprenuerial app environment is risky any way you look at it, so you might as well increase your odds by thinking of something innovative that nobody else is doing. We do not need another mail app. We don't need another to-do app. We most certainly don't need another weather app.

Icon Font Creation Flow
Finally! My post about my icon font workflow is ready for public consumption. This particular post is meant to be a generic overview of how I go about creating icon fonts. I in no way claim that this is the perfect way to do it, but after slogging through this myself it's the best way that I know how to do it at this point.
1. Illustrator - The first step in this long process is to create the icon in Illustrator. After creating the icon in Illustrator I then copy and paste the shape into Glyphs. For more information about how I do this, I pretty much follow the steps as outlined in this Github article.
2. Glyphs - Before I paste in my shape from Illustrator I set up the new font in Glyphs similar to the process mentioned in this Github article. The main concept is that you want to retain the shape from Illustrator when pasting and you also want to make sure the grid spacing is a relatively larger number. I played around with this number and settled on 19. I'm sure if I messed around with it more I could find the perfect number, but that's what I'm using at this point.
3. Export - After I've made sure that all of my nodes are on grid cross-sections in Glyphs I save and export the font using the settings in the aforementioned Github article. I'm not giving much detail right now because I don't really spend a whole lot of time on the font before this initial export.
4. FontFace - After exporting from Glyphs I open up the font-face kit generator and upload my .otf file. What I have done to make this process a little simpler is I've created my own local .html file that will reference the font generated. This is critical because of the need to test the fonts in an extremely controlled CSS environment.
The environment has to be controlled because any and all CSS can affect the visual output of the icon font. Having this kind of control allows me to make sure that the font looks good and crisp in every browser. Since I use this method for implementation of the icon font, my local file mimics these HTML/CSS settings.
5. Preview - Once I've generated my font I open up my local font testing file in Safari (preview on non-retina display only because you won't see the sub-pixel nuances) and see how it looks. Usually, it looks terrible and blurry. My first inclination was to turn on CSS font aliasing, but DO NOT do that. Font aliasing is only a fix for Chrome and Safari and your font will look horrible in other browsers.
Also, remember that whatever CSS you've applied to the preview is usually necessary to use when you implement the font for real. For example, if you are tweaking the font with a text-align center on it, you can get it to look right, but if you then use the font without text-align: center there's a potential of the font being blurry. If you find that a font is rendering blurry when you insert it into a real application the most likely cause is that some kind of CSS is messing it up.
6. Photoshop - After I've seen that my font looks like a big blurry mess I take a screenshot (do this on a non-retina display) and paste it into Photoshop. What I'm trying to do here is see where edges are crisp and where they are not. I usually zoom in as close as possible to get an idea of what looks bad. I also measure the dimensions of everything to make sure everything is correct.
7. Glyphs - From my inspection of the font in Photoshop I now bump the edges that are blurry a couple points in the opposite direction of the blur. In Glyphs this can oftentimes make the icon itself look a little strange, that's ok because we're only concerned with how it looks in the browser.
8. Rinse & Repeat - After tweaking in Glyphs, I now repeat steps 3-7 as many times as it takes for all the edges to look ultra crisp. I've gotten good enough at this process that it's pretty quick now. I usually have to repeat steps 3-7 about 7 or 8 times, but it might take you a little while longer at first.
9. Browser Tweaking - Once Safari looks super good, I check the font in the other browsers. Chrome renders like Safari, so no worries there, but I have had issues with Firefox. Usually, one of the borders is a little off. If this is the case I will do step 3-7 again. What happens is that sub-pixels in the font don't always render the same in each browser. You can actually tweek the sub-pixels for the offending browsers, but still retain the crispness in the other other browsers.
Note: Windows - Using the technique above will get you pixel-perfect icons on OS X browsers, but won't on Windows. Windows renders fonts a lot differently than OS X and eliminates one pixel off the dimensions of the icon. While that doesn't sound ideal, it actually looks really good and consistent. I've tried a bunch of other ways and methods, but they all result in big blurry messes for FF on OS X and all the browsers on Windows.

CSS Select Nerdery
I just got excited in a super nerdy kind of way. Select boxes are a pain in the rear to style and usually involve graphics and Javascript to make it look super good. Well, I'm here to tell you that I just styled up a select box with zero graphics and zero Javascript. This HTML/CSS combo works in IE8/9, Safari, Chrome, Firefox and Opera.
I've put the HTML and CSS on jsFiddle and you can see it here http://jsfiddle.net/teevio/uvvcx/. There's really not a whole lot to the html and in this example I was using an icon font for the graphical element, which you can see in the image on the left but won't show up on jsFiddle.
The main concept is that the select wrapper handles all the graphical styling. Since Firefox, Opera and IE don't let you change the "arrow" part of the select, the select box is made extra wide and the wrapper hides the overflow. To get the entire select box clickable, the :after pseudo element is used and then positioned underneath the select box.

The Conversation
Stewie SUCKED big ballzz
At least Stewie was there racing. Where was u ? Home sucking ur thumb..
@mx 91, Funny, you were probably one of the goons predicting a runaway series after last week.
See me... I am flexing my internet muscles...
Barcia looks like a troll.
I tell you who Barcia looks like with that goatee, Mike Vallely...famous pro-skater who also likes to play rough.
I am having a hardtime being able to like Barcia. Great rider obviously, but a little ragged both on and off the track... He has that " I am too cool" attitude that most folks dont like.....A lot of the riders already dislike him from what I can tell....
Actually, I was at home rooting for RD and RV. I don't like stewart, hes a crybaby
That move stewie put on JT$ was patented stewart. What an IDIOT!
any half brain IDIOT could ride better than stewart
Yea,, JS prolly shoulnt have jumped that,, but Emig did say that JT did come up short, and JS was already committed.. So, I dodnt think its totally JS's fault..
OH MY I was not gonna leave a commwnt but B-WARNS you can take the cake and eat it too What a jerk thing to say! How much money have you won racing? I know I made quite a bit.......I love some of the idiot postings here they make my day!!!!!! Thank you B-WARNS....... I give you the award for the stupidest coment I have ever saw yet, Congrats to you an award you deserv
Rider dont like Barcia? The only ones who doesnt are the ones who he keeps beating. My son talked to him at Red Bud for probably 30 solid minutes, no joke. He has never met my son before, they are close to the same age, my son is 17. And he was a s cool as can be, the whole time. they just B.S.ed like a couple teenage guys. No race banter or nothing. Just tlked and laughed and all. Then my son said something like, well, better let you get ready, you have to race today, then Barcia kinda realized what he had to do that day I guess. And snapped back to reality. But he is just a normal teenager. Who rides aggressive and hard. Its fun to watch. Stewie made a dumb mistake, period. No excuses, but he wont apologize or admit the misstake, its one reason he lost fans. But he lost a ton of points, but its still early in the season, misstakes will be made after this too.
it was both stewie's and JT's fault. JT bobbled in that section and slowed down which resulted in stewie landing on him. Stewart was in his race mode in which he doesn't think to much (he's focused). Oh well. we'll see what happens this week. Go barcia! lol. yes he very agressive but it fun to watch him. Dean wilson is just a *****. face it. i was watching the "how was your weeked" on transworld and it looked like he was teary eyed.
Now what does Davey, Jason & Mattis have to say about how Great Stewart is??? Rememember guys it's a long season! Stewart is a great rider and the sport is lucky to have him. But he also is a time bomb, he makes really pour decisions and he is very lucky he is not hurt yet. Now tell me again guys how Stewart has all the momentum and somebody better stop the run away train!!!!!
Both of the Stewarts were out of control on Saturday. Malcom took everyone wide on the first turn of the heat race becasue he came in too hot and couldn't turn his bike. Then he did the same thing on the same turn in the main and then during the race he crossed another ridrs line and took him out.
Big Stewie takes out most of the contenders at the start of the main and then lands on a rider. What a couple of self centered goons. Only thinking about themselves not caring about the other riders who are trying to make a living racing.
JS made a dumb move plain and simple. JT had the line, he was ahead of JS. I mean no one out there should just pull over for JS or any of the other riders. This was very reminiscent of the incident at Unadilla with JS and RC. Yeah JS was committed to the lines in both incidents, but he was not the lead rider. You cannot commit to something that you aren't sure is available to you. JS got up and going before CR and was coming through the pack nicely. Yeah maybe he wouldn't have made it up to the podium but he could have definitely salvaged some points and been right there with RV points wise. If JS could have ridden patiently who knows what would have happened, he was coming through the pack a lot faster than anyone else.CR rode smart and consistent laps to make it back to sixth. Another thing that I noticed and haven't heard any talk of yet was when RV was lapping JS. When RD lapped him he pulled right out of his way, but when RV went to pass him in the rhythm section JS cut across the track and into his line. The CBS coverage immediately returned to the front runners. Emig mentions RV making a mistake, but nothing more. I saw it took a bit for RV to get around him, but like I said CBS didn't show it. Was this more dirty riding by JS or what? Just asking not trying to start anything
thats funny ass hole. did stewart tell you to say that
I dont think JS cut over on Villopoto and RV is my guy.....It looked like it on TV, but JS was about 5 bike lenghts in front of him and RV was already out of shape coming out of the turn, i watched it a couple times....I think JS did a great job at moving out of the way for all the riders and he didnt cross over on RV....he was nursing a damaged bike and collecting as many points as he could....Not sure why folks make little things into a big deal...
malcolm on the other hand was pretty scary to watch, he was all over the track and riding WAY over his head......his collision with PJ , Now that was a dumb decision......1st race and he is trying to go for the win on the 1st lap.....
YZFSEAN...since when is taking people wide in the first turn out of control? So by your logic then Josh Hansen is ALWAYS out of control because he always takes everyone wide, even lappers. Oh and Barcia and Wilson must have been out of control because I saw a lot of them taking each other wide...RV2 did his fair share of block passing...ur comment is stupid...btw does DUNGEY STILL RULE? (can't even win when 7, 22, and 2 are way back and the leader crashes...no love
i will race you...if you think any idiot can do this...mxvsatvreflex, let's go...hahaha
CANARD!!!!!!!! Yes! I knew he had it in him.......more to come. Roczen finishing 7th is quite a premeire class showing, he's going to S.D. with some steam now! Musquin has got to be thinking some of his thunder is being stolen.
Motocross/Supercross is one tough sport.My personal rules in the first turn or anywhere ilf my handlebars are in front of yours I am gonna defend my position. As I have said in other posts it is racing may the last one standing win! I have not yet saw the Houston race. I can and have felt the pain of crshing while way out front. It hurts your pride more than the pain. I will say it again it is really hard to work your way from the back of the pack to the front, yes it is even scary when the people in front of you are much slower and you have no Idea what they are gonna do. Lets Race it is not over yet. Trey now wants another win because winning is a great feeeling!!! I think we have 11 races left and a lot can happen with this talent there is.
Good luck to everyone out there on the track. This is one heck of a Supercros season and exactly what we need for the sport to grow.
Barcia is the future... He will do well.. As for liking him or not.. He is uber aggressive.. reminds me of a certain Bradshaw... Only difference,, Barcia manages to laugh more.. Ha,ha... He kicked ass in Bercy!!! Only for that he deserves a medal!!! Freaked out the oh so stupid french crowd... Ha,ha!
bd200... Cool he talked to your son and acted as a normal teenager... Wait till he is a couple of years older.. And way more money on his account.. And success! Let's see if he will still be as accessible as now..
I reckon Barcia will reak havoc on the track.. That's why I like him.. Ha,ha... And he too will not have to apologise... And will develop an attitude.. Ride faster to beat me.. And for the rest... up yours! Ha,ha! Go, "bam,bam" Barcia!
Carlsbad.. Roczen, Musquin... Barcia... Baggett, Wilson.. Are the future stars of SX-MX... Can't wait to to see them in the 450 class... Seems that all the great future stars are being bred in the east coast?
Barcia is a rough rider for sure, I don't mind it when its needed but he does not seem to even try to pass clean he just slams ya!!
YSFSEAN RD can't can't win em all.... OR any thins year. LOL
@yzsean... the difference is that Hansen is in control! Malcolm came into the turn too fast and could not turn his bike.
I dont see anything wrong with Barcia riding aggresive, everybody wants to win... he just wants it the most
Why are people complaining about barcia riding rough, the kid is a true racer. He wants to win obviously and he is doing whatever it takes. Wilson didn't like being hit by barcia, but you know what hes on the same track so just return the favor. Racing is Racing
anyone know what happened to darren durham?? he had a bit of a wild ride in the heat but still finished 3rd. why the dns in the main???
This isn't play riding at a trail-park that also has an mx track; this is the pinnacle of the sport. If they bang elbows, bars, or radiator shrouds it's irrelevant. This is racing, not jeopardy. Last I checked winning is the goal and there can only one. With 19 other riders wanting the same thing there is bound to be some spilled milk.
Wilson speaks like a three year old who bit his tongue, but in his "how was your weekend" interview w/ TWMX he said he was "Barcia's *****." He then went on to say that he will train with Hanny to learn to ride more aggressively. Sounds like they Wilson wants to win.
The Stewart's rode like they were the fastest one's out there, the reality was they weren't. JS7 is the fastest on any given race day, evident by the lap times and the numerous sections he can quad while all others triple-single. But, like any human has his limits; bad start=bad finish. However, saying you can beat him, especially when you aren't even the fastest at your local races, is far too comical. You're a local grommet who doesn't even see the blue flag in the night program, know your place.
All you haters kill me... Wilson is a baby because he wants to have a good clean race??? The Stewarts are idiots because they crashed doing things you could never dream of doin??? Seems there are some people here that need to think then speak!
JS broke the cardinal rule , don't follow the guy in front of you in case he screws up , all these people hatin on him are just jealous of his success I love the kid he's fast and exciting to watch and great for the sport and it looks like his brother has potential as for calling him "stupid" this just goes to the intelligence of the person making the coment I really don't think a rider that has already won the supercross championship once and makes millions doing what we would all love to be doing can be all that stupid however making a comment like that about him sure make the comment maker look STUPID ! Stop being morons !
I don't get all this bashing of riders. Yea I have my favorites and riders I don't like (i.e. hansen) but I wont bash them. Last weeks races, both 250 and 450 were very entertaining. Little Stewart was a little out of control, but so was Roczen and no one bashed him. Agressive riding is fun to watch (dirty riding is not). Just my opinion.
First thing is wilson and barcia have a past from last year. In that past wilson was on the taken out list. barcia is fast but does make enemies. kid was faster no doubt that night but too much hitting could cost him a chance at a championship in the way of a broken bike or retaliation. stewart is the same guy. fast as hell but no respect for other riders. its them against the world and thats alot of people to go through. malcom is a rookie. he rode like it. that pass was clean .larson did the same thing wharton did later. hit the outside berm so hard and bounce in not thinking that the door was left wide open. canard deserves the attention fellas. not another impatient stewart.
wow , what a waste of time for the most part.I'll be sure not to come here again. I'd rather follow a nazi commy liberal post c-ya.
To Didierlotsyeng, I think all those guys are great & your comment regarding them being the future couldn't be more correct. I however, think some of those guys need more time in the 250's to mature but, Roczen is a unique case. DeCoster wants results in SX and Roczen could be the next "Bradshaw" to blow up the scene. I would prefer he stay in 250's for 3 more years to mature and collect some titles for KTM and establish the brand in SX. Barcia has already done some 250 SX so, if he wins 250E championship, defend title or switch coasts and then move up. After his injury, I would keep Musquin in 250's for 3 yrs as well (I know it sounds like blasphemy leaving a 2-time world champ in the regionals for so long but, this is SX, not MX).
Has anyone else noticed that all the comment sections on racer x and even transworld are just a bunch of faggy ass people talking crap about other riders and speculating on what they think is going on when really it doesnt matter....i mean come on no one posting on this website has the right to talk crap about any rider and say someone sucks are what ever..until you can stand toe to toe with any ama pro and beat him in a race then you cant talk shit, i mean shit i'm starting to think that race fans are getting as bad as fans of pop stars and movie stars....maybe thats what come when people who dont know shit about riding or have never REALLY rode a bike become fans of the sport....so if you dont have anything relavent to say then dont post on here....this is really about the sport of supercross not about how doenst like who or who you think is an asshole it dont really matter cuz at the end of the season theres only one winner and that sure as shit isnt going to be any one the of the dumb asses posting on racerx and that real
Carlsbad .. Makes sense... I also believe putting on the laps on the lites series helps to prepare a rider optimally...
But man... For a fan.. I can not wait to see them ride in the big class...
Roczen is very, very young... And with DeCoster's guidance.. He will do fine.
Barcia.. Would be a smart move to go to the west coast and win it in 2012 before jumping on the 450 in 2013... He would at least euql JS's record in the lites class...
Musquin.. He will have to learn at least 2 yrs in SX.. But you know the french... Might be impatient.. Ha,ha
Barcia is a rough rider, but I dont see him as dirty. But sometimes he could probably make a pass clean and he will rub a guy sometimes. But man, is he fun to watch. just hope he doesnt get hurt being that way. Roczen is a young guy, I just hope that he doesnt get moved along too fast. this kid has a very bright future, and lets hope he doesnt get thrown to the lions too quickly. Move him slowly. the future looks good with guys like him, Barcia, Tomac, and Trttle, he looked pretty decent for his first pro race too.
bd200.. Spot on!! Future looks great! I reckon with DeCoster and KTM's plans long term.. Roczen will not be moved too quickly.. Only concern.. He has a tendency to over do it.. For now.. He seems to be spared from major injuries..
Barcia is a crowd pleaser.. Ha,ha.. Great to watch! Someone to watch is Baggett as well.. Somehow Kawa seems to be good on discovering young and up and coming riders!!
With Roczen, Musquin and soon Herlings, KTM is STACKED for 250 MX in the U.S. These guys are no joke and with KTMs position in M.X.G.P. it's very possible this trend of bringing over top G.P. talent will continue. I think that this program will bear fruit for KTM in the U.S. but, they must remain patient in 450 SX. Short is a podium finisher in MX & Alessi can be a contender outdoors. It's important someone at KTM realize they need the 450 outdoors and be prepared with at least one for #800 because in hindsight, he (and they by extension) would have been better served riding the 450. It will come eventually, they have a focused company (motorcycles are their main product), Red Bull's deep pockets, DeCoster running the show in U.S. and phenomonal talent. All ingredients for success.
Carlsbad.. Makes sense.. KTM having at least 1x 450 in the MX season.. But.. Sadly there is a but.. KTM seems bent on the 350... IN the GP scene for the last 2 years, the machine has been performing more than adequate.. Of course.. KTM made sure they hired the biggest talents.. Paying them very good salaries.. Even in the enduro series.. They have convinced Knight (David) to ride the 350...
Unless they (KTM) flop big times with the 350.. The 450 will make it's appearance...
But for now.. KTM believes that the 350 is the way to go.. A ike nearly as light as a 250... And with the powerband similar to a 450... Or coming close...
And.. KTM has invested heavily in the 350.. Hiring a Everts for the big bucks to help develop the bike...
I would not be surprised, in the near future.. KTM will hire more talent.. For now.. Shorts is doing an excellent job.. Allessi.. Am waiting how he will do in the outdoors.
And honestly... Even from the production point of view.. Rode the 350 at one of the open days KTM held... I like it...

Image of the Day: England Drought Sparks Warning
The severe drought suffered in most of England is sparking widespread fears of disaster to farming and wildlife. "A longer term drought, lasting until Christmas and perhaps beyond, now looks more likely, and we are working with businesses, farmers and water companies to plan ahead to meet the challenges of a continued drought," said Trevor Bishop, head of water resources at the Environment Agency. The drought is so extensive that other parts of England could impose restrictions on water for homes and businesses that already exist in some parts of the country.

I have watched many Jaina monks: they continuously think about food. They believe in fasting, they do fasting, but they are continuously thinking about food – what to eat, what not to eat, how to eat, when to eat – their whole psychology is based on food. Food becomes too much of a problem. Hence, I don't insist on fasting, I insist on love – and fasting comes as a shadow. If you are tremendously in love, one day you will find you don't want to eat today. The love is so much, and you don't want to destroy it. You are flowing so high, you don't want to stuff yourself and bring yourself low…you don't want to move on earth today. And the fasting comes naturally – you don't think about it, you don't take a vow about it, you don't take a decision about it: suddenly you feel that higher food is available and the lower is not needed…and the fasting happens. Then fasting is beautiful.
The second chakra is related to the fifth. The second chakra is political – domination, domination over others – and the fifth chakra is spiritual power – domination over oneself. With the second chakra you try to overpower people, with the fifth you try to overpower yourself. With the second you try to conquer others, with the fifth you try to conquer yourself. With the second you become a politician, with the fifth you become a priest. And priests and politicians have always remained together: there is a conspiracy between the priest and the politician. The kings and the priests, the politicians and the popes – they are joined together. They may not be aware, but this is the basic cause behind it: the politician needs the support of the priest, and the priest feels somehow in tune with the politician, because both hanker for power – one over others, the other over oneself, but the goal is power.
Remember it. I would not like you to become a politician and I would not like you to become a priest either. In fact there is no need to dominate others and there is no need to dominate oneself. Domination as such should be dropped: one should simply be. The very idea to dominate is egoistic – whether you dominate others or yourself makes no difference. Have you not observed it? – a person who feels that he has great self-control becomes a great egoist. He goes on declaring that he has tremendous control over himself. His ego is strengthened – there is danger.
Domination as such has to be dropped. You should not become a priest. Become religious – don't become a priest. To become religious is one thing, to become a priest is another. The priest by and by starts declaring that he not only has power over himself, he has power over God. The priest by and by starts declaring that he has power over spiritual forces, psychic forces, occult, esoteric…he becomes more and more obsessed with inner powers. But all power is an ego-trip.
Be aware of the second, and be aware of the fifth too: there are pitfalls, there are dangerous possibilities. And once a person becomes a priest he stops; his growth is no more going on. Once you have become a priest you are no more religious; your whole energy has become stagnant. The religious person is always flowing: from first to second, from second to third, from third to fourth, he is always flowing. Up to the seventh he knows no stopping – there is no station on the way. And with the seventh he also does not stop, because with the seventh he disappears…there is nobody to stop.

Well 2009 has been quite the year for us.
We left our old church so Doug could pastor in our current church.
We sold our house.
We said goodbye to some very dear friends and moved 13 hours away.
We moved into our first rental house in town.
We made friends.
The boys changed schools and made new friends.
We moved into our second rental house in town.
Olivia turned from a toddler into a preschooler.
God provided for our needs in more ways than I can possibly mention... everything from complete strangers giving us money that we used to pay our bills to friends fixing our van for free.
We are blessed.
It has been a crazy year... I am kind of hoping for a slightly more boring 2010 :)
Happy New Year everyone!
Yeah, I have no idea where it comes from

Every Olympics, major favorites come into the Games expecting to dominate, win multiple gold medals and bring glory to their home countries, but leave either empty-handed or with far less than they had hoped for upon arrival. Who will be the victims of the 2012 London Olympic Games?
Here is a projection of the biggest disappointments of the London Olympics.
Yelena Isinbayeva, Russian Pole Vaulter
Michael Steele/Getty Images
Isinbayeva, the two-time Olympic champion (2004, 2008), is considered the gold medal favorite in pole vaulting.
But the 30-year-old, who retired in 2009, and has not come close to matching her previous records in 2012. America's Jenn Suhr, the silver medalist in Beijing, is definitely ready to upset her and take the gold.
Kohei Uchimura, Japanese Gymnast
Ronald Martinez/Getty Images
Uchimura was the 2008 Olympic silver medalist and is the first winner of three all-around world titles in history.
Nonetheless, he does not have a specialty event (which leaves little margin for error), and the Olympics are known for making gymnasts freeze on one particular event. U.S. parallel bars champion Daniel Layva and Bronx native John Orozco are waiting in the wings as gold medal threats.
Jordyn Weiber, U.S. Gymnast
Ronald Martinez/Getty Images
Weiber is part of an incredibly talented American team in women's gymnastics and will be a top threat for gold in London.
She is the all-around favorite after winning the all-around event in 2011, but her charismatic compatriot, 16-year-old Gabby Douglas, won the U.S. trials this year and could be in line for a huge upset win.
Helen Glover and Heather Stanning, British Rowers
Srdjan Stevanovic/Getty Images
Glover and Stanning, two of the top rowers for a dominant women's team from Great Britain, are big-time gold medal threats on their home territory.
But New Zealand's Juliette Haigh and Rebecca Scown have beaten the British duo by a nose each of the last two years and could upset them again in the Olympics.
Chris Hoy, British Cyclist
Michael Steele/Getty Images
Hoy is the defending champion and a gold medal favorite on home ground after winning three gold medals in Beijing, which earned him an honorary knighthood.
However, he may be upset by Frenchman Gregory Bauge, who upset Hoy at the World Championships in Melbourne and has been the sport's best in 2012.
Anna Meares, Australian Cycling
Dino Panato/Getty Images
Meares, the top Australian cycling contender, has set numerous records and will be the favorite for her sport in London.
But her career has been filled with ups and downs and she might have trouble with the Olympic pressure.
Pau Gasol, Spanish Basketball Player
David Ramos/Getty Images
Gasol is the leader of the Spanish team, which is expected to challenge the United States for Olympic gold. That is a tremendous burden to take on for his home country.
Unfortunately for him, Gasol is bound for disappointment because Spain lost to the US in their preliminary exhibition and do not have the firepower to actually put the Americans away in a gold medal game.
That said, they can certainly make it interesting!
Spanish Soccer Team
Alex Grimm/Getty Images
After the two-time defending champion Argentine National Team did not make the Olympics, Spain instantly became the prohibitive favorite.
The Spanish team is deep and stars Javi Martinez and Thiago will lead the way; but Brazil will provide stiff competition and Great Britain—which will field a strong club and be playing on home turf—could be in line for a big upset.
Andy Murray, British Tennis Player
Clive Brunskill/Getty Images
With Rafael Nadal injured, Roger Federer tired and Novak Djokovic in a funk, Murray will be the favorite to win the tennis event on his home turf.
However, Murray is always under tremendous pressure on home ground, and if his performance at Wimbledon this year is any indication, he could definitely crack under the strain.
Brendan Hansen, U.S. Swimmer
Jamie Squire/Getty Images
Hansen is one of the best two-breaststroke swimmers in the world. He is the United States' best threat in his specialty and one of the top draws on America's swimming team.
Unfortunately, his rival, Japan's Kosuke Kitajima, has dominated him in the Olympics, winning gold medals in 2004 and 2008. Hansen says this year will be different, but seeing is believing.
Tyson Gay, U.S. Runner
Julian Finney/Getty Images
Gay, America's best track and field sprinter, is often presented as the best threat to Usain Bolt's dominance.
But, aside from the DN Galan meet, Gay has never challenged Bolt and is unlikely to do so in London. He may not even medal, considering challenges from Asafa Powell, Yohan Blake and Nesta Carter.
Allyson Felix, American Runner
Christian Petersen/Getty Images
Allyson Felix, the three-time world champion, is considered the favorite for the Olympic gold because of her dominance in the sport over the last decade.
However, her rival, Veronica Campbell-Brown, has won two Olympic gold medals, which suggests she has the edge in Olympic competition. The two are set up for a very tough battle of wills in this year's Games.
Alison-Emanuel, Brazilian Beach Volleyball
Emanuel Rego and Alison Cerutti are dominant players in the sport, winning nine total medals since 1996. They will be expected to be the team to beat in London.
But the U.S. team of Phil Dalhausser and Todd Rogers has actually been more dominant over the last five years. They are quietly the most likely team to pull off the upset and take the gold in London.
Tom Daley, British Diver
Clive Rose/Getty Images
Daley, the 18-year-old British diving sensation, is expected to challenge Qiu Bo for the diving medals and become one of England's homegrown heroes.
The problem: Daley placed fifth in the 2011 World Championships and is not in Bo's league. He is competing on home ground, but British fans should be prepared for disappointment.
Kobe Bryant, U.S. Basketball Player
David Ramos/Getty Images
Bryant was the undisputed leader of the 2008 "Redeem Team," which restored American basketball glory at the Olympic Games after a disastrous showing in Athens in 2004.
But now Bryant is much older, well past his prime and in danger of being eclipsed by other players. He may want to be the center of the action, but it's time to let some of his glory pass on to younger, hungry NBA stars.
LeBron James, US Basketball Player
David Ramos/Getty Images
James, the newly crowned NBA champion, considers himself the leader of the Dream Team in London. The U.S. should win gold, but James will have to share the spotlight with other players, including Carmelo Anthony, who are desperate for glory and attention.
And don't forget Kobe Bryant, Andre Iguodala and other veterans waiting for the spotlight.. James may shine through, but if he's lost in the shuffle it will be a major disappointment.
American Basketball Team
David Ramos/Getty Images
Oh, they will win the gold medal. This isn't Athens, the 2012 U.S. squad has enough talent and chemistry to get the job done.
But injuries and lack of roster depth have robbed this team of potential dominance, and when the Olympics are done, comparisons to the 1992 Dream Team will be laughable.
American Boxing Team
Courtesy of Bio.com
America's boxing teams used to be the nation's best contingent at the Olympic Games. Greats like Muhammad Ali and Floyd Mayweather paved the way to Hall of Fame professional careers by winning Olympic Gold.
But the U.S. boxing team was embarrassed in Beijing in 2008 and things don't look much better this time around; there is not a single U.S. amateur who looks like a future professional champion at the London Games. Things could get ugly and disappointing very, very quickly.
Michael Phelps, U.S. Swimmer
Al Bello/Getty Images
Phelps is the greatest living Olympian, and quite possibly, the greatest Olympian of all time. But he is aging, does not seem completely locked into this year's Olympics after cleaning house in Beijing back in 2008, and has recently suffered a string of losses to fellow American star Ryan Lochte.
Phelps could definitely star in London, but he could just as easily cede the spotlight to Lochte, Cesar Cielo and Nathan Adrian.

Chill Out With GABA This Holiday Season, and Also Prevent Diabetes?
Chill Out With GABA This Holiday Season, and Also Prevent Diabetes?
Before we know it, the holiday season will be upon us. While most of us look forward to reconnecting with friends and loved ones—or even the excitement in the air from holiday music and specials—it's also a time of year when anxiety abounds.
Holidays are filled with stress. There's shopping to get done in crowded stores, long lines at the airport, and family members (you know the ones) who add a bit of unwelcome drama at holiday gatherings. There's no question about it, the holidays can take a toll on our health—physically and emotionally.
One of the best natural antidotes for holiday stress (or any stress, year-round) is gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). GABA is an amino acid produced naturally in the brain. In addition to functioning as a neurotransmitter, fostering communication between nerve cells, GABA reduces stress by toning down "excitatory" stimuli in the brain. Plus, it boosts dopamine and serotonin levels, which helps create an overall sense of calm.
Now, new research suggests GABA may also help prevent type 2 diabetes. Researchers at UCLA found that when mice were given GABA it helped to inhibit both glucose intolerance and insulin resistance—the two prime hallmarks of diabetes. In addition, the animal studies showed it has the potential to slow the progression of type 2 diabetes, even after its onset.
Now it's your turn: Have you used GABA to reduce stress?

Camisea Gas Arrives Peru's President Alejandro Toledo inaugurated in August the $2.69 billion Camisea gas project. The pipeline from the rainforest and over the Andes to export terminals on the Pacific Coast promises to make Peru a net energy exporter as early as 2007. Toledo says Camisea will add one percentage point to Peru's GDP over its 33-year-life while gas exports contribute another percentage point to GDP for 18 years. Camisea has reserves of 1 trillion cubic feet of gas and 600 million barrels of associated gas liquids. Citigroup is financial advisor. Protests from environmentalists and Indian rights advocates led US government agencies to withhold support, but the Inter-American Development Bank has helped finance Camisea.

Dart Wars is world conquest game played with darts.
Players choose their homeland by throwing a dart on it, then they place 3 troops on it. A turn consists of each player throwing 3 darts and then moving a troop for each dart if the move is possible.
Troops can move from country to country through a common border (be it physical country border or square tile border). When a player arrives in a country where nobody has ever come, he earns a new troop which he places in this country.
When a troop arrives in a zone (earth or water) already occupied by an enemy troop, combat erupts. The conflict takes place on the target, the player whose dart is closer to the center is the winner and converts the other troop in one of his.
The game's purpose is to conquer your opponents' homelands, clearing all their troops present there. The winner is the last player to have protected his country.
When a player loses his homeland, he becomes the slave of his conqueror and carries on playing with his troops present in other parts of the world but has to obey his master.
This game won a prize at the 2005 International Contest of Boardgames Creators of Boulogne (France), and will be available at ESSEN 2006.
To have the best results in the sticking of the darts on the map, the map has to be hung quite high on the wall. A good height consists in putting the center of the small red and white target at the level of the players' eyes. In that configuration, the trajectory of the darts is optimum and they stick very well.

One wonders how useful it will be this time, that is, whether Ministers will actually respond to questions asked. SA Talking Point has been around for ages: http://www.talkingpoint.sa.gov.au/index.php Early this year, concerned SA citizens (and others) trying to find out more about the SA Internet Censorship Bill tried to use the forum and were 'promised' participation from Ministers and answers. They're still waiting to see any helpful posts from Ministers, notwithstanding numerous questions asked. Extract from SA Talking Point archives: Topic: Classifications Amendment Bill 2000 Sub Topic: New Forum re Classification Amendment Bill Article: From: Michael Armitage, Member, 13-03-2001 "In response to Peter M.'s plea to discuss this Bill on talkingpoint, as Minister for Information Economy I have asked the Attorney General to do just this some time ago, and he has agreed to have a forum with a Moderator from his office. I shall chase his office today in the hope that it can be arranged asap. (By the way, it is a weeny bit irking that we are being blamed for not engaging in this sort of discussion on talkingpoint, when we get little or no acknowledgement for being the first [and as far as I know the ONLY] Government to have anything like this site, which at least promotes the opportunity!!!! It may be that we aren't perfect, but we ARE giving it a go!!) I am eager to see the input to the forum when it begins. Michael Armitage, Minister for Information Economy" Many citizens who "had a go" at getting answers from Ministers via the forum are still waiting to receive answers. Irene

Global Rescue provides worldwide advisory, field rescue and evacuation services, in both medical and security emergencies.
Current Articles | RSS Feed
Founder and CEO of Global Rescue, Dan Richards, spends more than 100 days on the road each year. The Boston based crisis response company has a growing list of clients, ranging from individuals and their families to the employees of large corporations and government entities. The global nature of these clients means his schedule is relentless.
Here Dan talks to USA Today about how he keeps business travel safe and comfortable:
Dan Richards is a globe-trotting CEO. But he learned one of his most important tips for the road when he was a college student trekking through Tunisia.
Richards was driving bare-chested in the desert one day in 1994 when he got pulled over. Apparently the policeman disapproved of Richards driving around with no shirt and was going to arrest him. "I almost ended up in a bad spot for no other reason than being ignorant of the local customs," says Richards, 38.
Richards apologized and avoided a trip to jail. But he learned a critical lesson. "Be aware of what the local culture is," he says. "Do not stick out in any way. Leave your San Francisco Giants hat at home."

EnergySolutions confirms ABC4 Report
Sep 04, 2009
SALT LAKE CITY (ABC 4 News) - EnergySolutions is now confirming what ABC 4 News first reported. It is in nuclear waste settlement talks with the state and that a proposal to pay Utah to bring foreign waste here is still on the table. This latest development led Vanessa Pierce, the director of the Healthy Environment Alliance of Utah to suggest that, as far as Utah is concerned, this is a case of waste not want not. Vanessa Pierce, Heal Utah: "Any proposal that would turn Utah into the world's nuclear dumping ground is a bad proposal." Pierce called ABC 4 Friday morning. She had just heard about our story - the one detailing talks between EnergySolutions and the state of Utah. These talks are believed to be about allowing more than 15-hundred tons of processed Italian low level nuclear waste into Utah. Pierce: "I can understand our country being responsible for our waste but I don't think we should fill up our own nuclear waste repositories with waste from other countries." Friday morning, EnergySolutions also released this statement confirming what ABC 4 reported. "We believe that it is in the best interest of the state, the citizens of Utah and EnergySolutions to settle this matter and we hope the state considers this proposal." This proposal would likely settle the state's nuke waste lawsuit with EnergySolutions and, reportedly, give the state 50 percent of the company's net revenue for disposing of foreign waste. This would bring Utah an estimated 100 million dollars a year for ten years. Pierce: "If Governor Herbert is responsible in opening this new nuclear Pandora's box we have real questions about whether he will be the strong leader that we need." But Pierce talks it a step further, all but questioning Herbert's waste-osterone. "There is no reason for Governor Herbert to consider this deal right now.
