Doug Wilson has a wide sphere of influence, culled from a long career as a producer and director with ABCs Wide World of Sports. From 1961 through 1998, Wilson helped to produce 10 Olympic Games telecasts and become known as the premier director in figure skating. No wonder he counts Dick Button and Peggy Fleming among his friends. Button says of him, Doug Wilson has an elephantine memory.

Zoe Saldana chats with FabTV about the award she'll be receiving at L.A.'s Women in Film Crystal & Lucy gala - sponsored by MaxMara - as well as the close ties between fashion and Hollywood. Hear Saldana gush about MaxMara's dedication to the arts at Milan Fashion Week in the video.

2010 Fall Milan Fashion Week: Alluring, Artsy, Awesome
And like that, Milan Fashion Week is over. Va bene. When I wasn't cooing over D&G Alpine sizzlers, I was witnessing an array of Italian design. Whether sexy, eclectic, or downright beautiful, Milan offers it all. Noteworthy trends were pared down (Marni, Dolce & Gabbana), all shades of brown, patchwork, and lace. Colors spanned the Pantone rainbow — with jolts of red, yellow, and blue. There's so much more to discuss, let's open the roundtable . . .

Which Ashley Greene Milan Fashion Week Look Is Most Fab?
What does a day in the life of Twilight's Ashley Greene entail? How about jet-setting off to Milan Fashion Week to live la dolce vita from the front row? While out and about in Milan, the cutie showed off three amazing looks. For Gucci's runway show, Ashley donned a streamlined LBD with standout cobalt trimming and a cutout back. For Giorgio Armani, she showed a pretty purple and pink-trimmed silk dress complete with a matching clutch and patent pink sandals. However, it was her Dolce & Gabbana multicolored, long-sleeved frock that left me smitten. But that's just me — which tickled your fancy?

This is the main restaurant at the port, and a good one. After 6pm, buy your fish fresh off the boat and have them grill it for you. The 2nd floor overlooks the whole port and is a great place to relax and a have a beer.

The association is an NGO set up to provide trekking information and to train and register guides. Association President, Abdeslam Mouden, speaks fluent English and has a wealth of local know-ledge and guide experience.
Casa's biggest open space is the Parc de la Ligue Arabe . It's a good place for games and walks, and has a choice of small cafés and the Yasmina amusement park , with plenty of small-scale rides and fun-fair atmosphere.
In July, the festival, run in association with the Institut Royal de la Culture Amazigh, aims to promote and protect Amazigh (Berber) culture. Its program includes musical performances as well as lectures and workshops.
A bit out of the way, this family-run place is a perennial favourite with locals and tourists alike, and known for its couscous royal. Late, lazy lunches are the best, with the front terrace catching the afternoon sun.
The most convenient way to arrive is with CTM , as its station is bang in the centre of town near the post office. It has buses to Marrakesh (Dh65, five hours, three daily) and Casablanca (Dh135, 8½ hours, one daily).
This government-backed arts-and-crafts centre is a good place to see the range of local crafts and watch the artisans at work. There's no haggling, as prices are fixed, but they are also much higher than in the souqs.
The smartest restaurant in town, the Marhaba specialises in fish and does it very well. The main room is very large, but there's a cosier terrace at the back with fishing nets and plastic lobsters. There's no alcohol.
Along the road to Cap Spartel, the stables are set in the midst of forested hills, a pleasant place to explore on horseback. All riders must be accompanied by a guide, which is included in the price of the horse hire.
Located 200m beyond the Hôtel Asgaour. Offers advice on treks to Imlil, east to Tourcht, north to Imi-n-Taddert, to Anammer and Tiz n'Oucheg in the Aït Oucheg Valley, and from the Yaggour Plateau into the Zat Valley.
25km from Taza, the Gouffre du Friouato is well signposted, up a very steep road. This deep cavern is the main attraction of the Jebel Tazzeka circuit and it's well worth coming up here to look into its gaping mouth.
The CTM station runs a service twice daily to Fez (Dh95, seven hours) via Er-Rachidia (Dh15, 1¼ hours), Marrakesh (Dh135, 11½ hours), Midelt (Dh59, five hours), Meknès (Dh125, 6½ hours) and Rissani (Dh5, 20 minutes).
The Hourria serves a good selection of Moroccan favourites and Western snacks, with a calm dining room and a terrace on the edge of a public garden. There's plenty of fresh fish, including a commendable fish tajine.
Al-Massira Airport , 28km southeast of Agadir, is mainly served by European charter flights. There are banks with exchange booths and ATMs, car-hire offices, a tourist information office and a couple of restaurants.
Although the name suggests that pizzas are the speciality here, you could do far worse than load up on a filling plate of rotisserie chicken with rice and chips. An unassuming place, it's popular with female diners.
The bus station is about 400m northeast of the medina, an easy walk during the day but better in a petit taxi (Dh10) if you're arriving/leaving late at night. The left-luggage office (Dh7 per item) is open 24 hours.

California Fish and Wildlife warden Jamie Dostal snapped this photo of the mountain lion that was found in a Santa Barbara backyard Monday. The photo was taken after wildlife officials brought the animal, a male weighing 80-100 pounds, to the Los Padres National Forest. Wardens are waiting for tranquilizer drugs to wear off so they can release the animal into the wild.

There are several examples. Louisiana uses a nonpartisan blanket primary where everyone is on the ballot and the top two finishers meet in a runoff election. Some states, such as Nebraska, use a nonpartisan primary for its legislature but not for other offices.
Last year, eight elected officials (Bibb County's solicitor-general, probate judge, district attorney, sheriff, superior court clerk, civil court judge and tax commissioner) asked for local legislation to make their offices nonpartisan. There is no need for any of those positions to be partisan. The sheriff has to arrest Republicans and Democrats. The tax commissioner doesn't collect money based on party affiliation, and certainly, judges could care less about party when handing down sentences.
So why do we do it? Why do we have party affiliation attached to the above positions and school board seats? In fact, for local positions is there ever a need to be partisan? We think not.


text: I'm about to listen. Love Wayne Madden's work. Serious question however. If Wayne is telling the truth and constantly exposing the bastards for who they are and for what they're really doing... ...then how is he still alive? Don't you think they'd rather easily and quickly silence the few who KNOW the truth behind the scenes and DARE to expose it? I simply always wonder if we're not being played like fiddles. Like I say, I like Wayne's work quite a bit. Thoughts?

So yesterday was apparently Blue Monday, the most depressing day of the year. The weather is cold, your overloaded with stuff to do at work, your new years resolutions have already gone to shit, your broke because you only get paid at the end of the month, because you went crazy on new years and because you were so damn tired of the amount of cash that went on presents for xmas for everyone that you spent whatever you did have left on yourself in the January sales! But hold on- we are at the beginning of a year, why the doom and gloom?!
Plus, it's a Tuesday. There's something about Tuesday's I like, I'm not entirely sure why. It's not quite the 'URGH' feeling of a Monday morning crawling out of bed to work and a definite sign that your weekend is over, but it's still very early in the week, with lots of awaited optimism. Even today at work everyone seemed lots more cheery and I only started the job yesterday…
So for the rest of this month I will be posting 10 of the newest, most innovative beauty products and trends that are very 2012 to cheer you up, brighten your hair/nails/faces and get you through the January blues. And partly because I feel guilty to myself (yes myself, lol) because my new year's resolution was to dedicate more time to my blog, and share all the interesting things I do with you guys, because in fact, I always try and do so many interesting things that by the time I get home, I'm snoring before my head hits the pillow (I don't snore I promise)
As for new years resolutions, fuck them, I say you should never wait for the 1st of January to improve yourself. Make one every day.

History in Flight
Rare warbirds star in a California airshow.
- By Linda Shiner
- AirSpaceMag.com, May 11, 2010
Frank Mormillo/ Planes of Fame Air Museum
With more than 100 historic aircraft, the Planes of Fame Air Museum in Chino, California, exhibits one of the most significant collections of airplanes in the country. This weekend the exhibits will come to life as the museum stages its annual airshow. Nearly 30 "planes of fame," as well as aircraft from neighbors and nearby museums, will fly on May 15 and 16 in what one Air & Space writer once called "the world's most spectacular aerial display of rare warbirds from all generations." How rare? The museum owns the only original, airworthy Japanese Zero fighter and one of the few Russian-built MiG-15s flying anywhere. The MiG (above right) will perform with the museum's North American F-86 Sabre in a tribute to the veterans of the Korean War, the conflict that pitted the two aircraft against each other.
The museum owns a second MiG-15 and two MiG-17s, so that, according to founder Ed Maloney, if another museum needs a pair of MiGs and has aircraft to trade, the Planes of Fame Museum may be interested. "We also have a MiG-21F, but it won't fly this weekend," says Maloney. "It's too fast for our airport."
Click through the gallery at right to see more aircraft that will be flying this weekend.

Aside from closing my eyes and just dreaming about flying any one of these beauties, the only thought that comes to mind is : Wish I could be there. Anybody who is going,
enjoy it for all of us who can't make it. Someday I AM
gong to Chino. PP

Your show looks amazing and a friend and I would like to drive over from Phoenix next year to see it. Unfortunately we did not discover it until today or we would have come this time around. Would it be possible for you to email me when you know the dates of the 2011 show. EDITORS' REPLY: You need to contact the organizers of the show for that information.
Posted by Laura Taylor on May 15,2010 | 11:58 PM
The Planes of Fame airshow is usually the third weekend of May. This years show was outstanding as usual. The museum is worth visiting any time of the year if you are a fan of WWII era planes. They also have other interesting displays of pre-WWII and post-WWII aircraft, and holds special events the first Saturday of each month.

"Obama to campaign to ensure health law's success." The Obamacare Web site doesn't work. Hundreds of thousands of insured Americans are seeing their plans summarily terminated. Millions more face the same prospect next year.
President Obama is furiously fending off those "winter of discontent" stories, and it's not even winter yet. The news about the health-care law that is supposed to be his greatest achievement is almost uniformly downbeat.
Barack Obama's presidency has become a feast of failures whose proliferation protects their author from close scrutiny of any one of them.
Near the end of his new book, "Days of Fire," my friend and former colleague Peter Baker recounts a moment in the White House Situation Room in 2008 when President George W. Bush was uncharacteristically reflective.
Among the many rules I grew up with, two stand out. The first was never call someone a liar, which was considered the worst possible character indictment one could issue. The accuser had best be prepared to fight or be fleet of foot.
Every disaster has its moment of clarity. Physicist Richard Feynman dunks an O-ring into ice water and everyone understands instantly why the shuttle Challenger exploded.
Bill Clinton, the nation's politician in chief, is on a roll on behalf of his friend Terry McAuliffe, the front-runner in next week's election for governor of Virginia.
The young senator from Texas, after just nine months on the job, had managed to drag down his Republican Party to historic unpopularity. But as Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.
Liberals constantly lecture, more in theatrical sorrow than in actual anger, about their eagerness to compromise with Republicans, just not with Republicans who are — liberal moderation expresses itself immoderately — hostage-taking terroristic anarchistic jihadist suicide bombers. But Maine's...
Seeing our government and our creditworthiness held hostage to the demands of a right-wing minority is infuriating. It's also heartbreaking.

Elgin, IL
This company sent adriver who lied to my wife about the price that we had agreed on and took an extra $100. I called the company and complained and the owner said he would send me a check. He never did. I called back repeatedly for months and they said they would send it now. They never did. This company sucks and is a bunch of crooks.
Kate D.
Hanover Park, IL
I have not used the limo service but if you ever consider using their auto repair shop, run fast. Horrible experience, unprofessional, employees and managers don't communicate, had to call several times to relay the same information. I was actually afraid to post a review until my car was safely off the lot (the lot they moved my car to without permission) because they were threatening to move mine to a junkyard.
Lesley B.
Scottsdale, AZ
DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY EVER!!!! They came recommended to me by very influential clients & businessmen in the Chicago land area so I had not a worry in the world - BIG MISTAKE! I used them for a very important event, but only 4 people in my party so obviously I requested a TOWN CAR. The driver shows up in a FULL STRETCH limo. I had 3 destinations to go to that night, about 2-3 miles apart in the SAME TOWN. Driver had to ask my party for directions, he had no clue where he was going which was annoying the entire drive. I requested the service for the 2 hour minimum and then would see if I needed to call on a need to know basis - DID NOT WANT A DRIVER ON CALL FOR 6 HOURS - it was not necessary or requested. I was quoted $45 per hour and would not be charged for the STRETCH LIMO - YEAH RIGHT. By the end of my night, my total was $390 PLUS TIP!!!!! THIS COMPANY LIES AND IS VERY UNPROFESSIONAL.. We attempted to speak with the owner, manager, ANYONE to try and rectify the situation. My husband & I even went into their Schaumburg office on the way to the airport, being promised the owner ARTHUR B. would be there and have no problem refunding some of our expense.
Needless to say, you know we walked with NOTHING!!! The guy behind the desk claimed to not even speak English nor acknowledge knowing anything we were talking about. OH and the best....no owner is named Arthur there and when we asked who the owner was, they claimed "We don't know!!!!"
And I also want to add if anyone from this horrible company ever reads this, you will not BELIEVE the business you are going to lose. Those WEALTHY influential businessmen who recommended you to me - you just LOST all their business. In this tough economy, that is a shame. Karma is alive!!!

'"I'm not sure about the expectation that we should put too much on the young kid, but he played well," said Nolan, who coaches Girgensons in the Latvian national program. "I've known the kid for about three years now and have watched him play. He does this all the time. It's one of those things with maturity and his body matures, he's going to get better. The one thing you can't teach somebody is to give them that work ethic that he has."'
Sabres rookie Zemgus Girgensons ends goal drought, knows he needs to score more
'"I need to bury some chances," Girgensons said before the game. "So I hope it could be a turnaround with what I had here, just kind of flash back."'
Sabres play better, but still can't win
'"Our game was there," Sabres captain Steve Ott said. "We see this progress that we've been talking about. It's not transitioning into wins at this time, but you can't let it burden yourselves. You have to keep grabbing the possibilities out of each and every game."'
Road trip to Montreal is always welcome by veteran Sabres' players
'"The atmosphere never lets you down," forward Cody McCormick said. "It's always going. There's a real buzz to it."'
Ex-Sabre Peters now fighting the pain
'"My day-to-day life is very good compared to the guys in the stories you hear, the guys that filed for the suit," the 33-year-old said. "I don't think I'm at that point yet, but some of them have 30 years on me."'
Sabres outplay Canadiens most of night, still lose tight game
'"That's a tough one," Sabres center Tyler Ennis said. "I think we outplayed them for 55 minutes. For those five minutes, you let down, you turn a couple over, a first-place team is going put them in the back of the net."'
Sabres' Jamie McBain playing again, likes Ted Nolan's straightforward approach
'"He asked me why he was out," Nolan said. "There was no specific reason why. It was just one of those try to find out who's who on this team. He was just one of those guys that had the least amount of problems at the beginning. We had to fix the other guys."'
A miserable season for the Sabres
'"We want to forget our record even if it is not easy, said former Islanders forward. We believe that it is possible to recover. Ted Nolan has established a good gaming system "'
"It's a defeat that hurts" Tyler Ennis
'"I think we played well for 55minutes, but there was a slight easing in the second."'

'"He played well," said Nolan of 19-year-old Girgensons. "I've known the kid now for three years and have watched him play, he does this all the time. It's one of those things that comes with maturity, he'll get better and better. "Those are the building blocks with which we're going to turn this organization around. It's through people like that, with some strong character and will to get better."'
Montreal 3, Buffalo 2
'"I could've come up with one of those saves. It wasn't good enough tonight. All three were one-timers, but I think I could have stopped one of those goals," said Enroth.'
Canadiens win fifth straight in 3-2 triumph over Sabres
'"All in all, I thought our game was there," Sabres captain Steve Ott said. "We see this progress that we've been talking about. It's not transitioning into wins at this point right now but you have to keep grabbing the positives out of each and every game. "They're one of the top teams in the last 10 games and we were hanging in there with them."'
Sabres fall to the Canadiens in Montreal
'In the final frame the Sabres kept it close as a brilliant individual effort by Zemgus Girgensons against two defenders resulted in a goal to make it a one goal game, but it wasn't enough as the Canadiens held off heavy pressure at the end for a 3-2 final score.'

Dec. 1, 2008: Hearing on Bangladesh: Religious Freedom, Extremism, Security, and the Upcoming National Elections
Thursday, Dec. 4, 10 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. * Rayburn House Office Building, Room 2325
The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom is holding a public hearing to focus attention on Bangladesh's upcoming national elections.
Bangladesh's last national elections, in October 2001, were followed by numerous reports of violence against members of religious minority communities, particularly Hindus.
Elections previously scheduled for January 2007 were postponed amid allegations that they would not be free and fair. Since January 2007, Bangladesh has been administered by a military-backed caretaker government, a state of emergency has restricted political rights, and there have been serious human rights violations such as extrajudicial killings and torture.
This hearing will explore the prospects for free, fair, and peaceful elections in Bangladesh, the development of a stable democracy, the threat to democratic values posed by religious extremism, and strategies for the U.S. government to promote democracy and respect for human rights, including freedom of religion or belief.
Confirmed speakers include Rep. Joseph Crowley (D-NY).
Confirmed witnesses include:
Panel I: The U.S. government's promotion of democracy, respect for human rights, and free, fair, and credible elections in Bangladesh
Panel II: The role of U.S.-funded institutions in promoting free, fair, and credible elections
Panel III: Legal, social, and political challenges to human rights under the caretaker government, including freedom of religion or belief; Islamic extremism; recommendations for the U.S. and Bangladeshi governments

Ask Us: Renewing License/Curriculum Development
By Joseph Autilio
Executive Director of the Massachusetts Board of Registration
12 Hours to Renew
Q. Must I do 12 hours of continuing education for each two-year license term that I have missed?
A. No. Regardless of how long your license as an agent has been expired, you can make it current and "active" by paying the appropriate fee and doing 12 hours of continuing education offered by one of the Board approved providers. The 12 hours are not multiplied by the number of two year license terms since your license expired. Remember, you need a current "active" license to work. If you want to renew your license without doing continuing education, the Board must, by law, renew your license as "inactive," prohibiting you from working as a real estate agent, with only one exception—you can earn referral fees for the referrals that you make to licensed "active" real estate brokers.
Curriculum Development
Q. Does the Real Estate Board have input on continuing education materials for agents?
A. Yes, the Real Estate Board creates the subjectmatter curriculum for the 12-hour continuing education requirement under the relevant law with the assistance of its Education Sub-Committee. The Education Sub Committee's mission is to review submissions to the continuing education curriculum consisting of two-hour subject matter area topics.
The Board's Education Sub-Committee consists of seven members appointed by the Board for one year terms. They are educators, members of the realty profession, a Board representative, and occasionally representatives of government and the public. They review the two-hour continuing education curriculum submissions and make recommendations to the Board concerning approval or suggestions for further followup. They also make suggested revisions to the existing curriculum, given changes in the relevant licensing law, regulations, and practice in the marketplace. The final decision on the curriculum is made by the Board.
The work of the Education Sub-Committee is invaluable to ensuring relevant and high-quality offerings to the licensed real estate agents in the Commonwealth. If you are interested in serving on the Board's Education Sub-Committee, please send a resumé and cover letter expressing your interest to my attention here at the Board. Also, if you would like to submit a two-hour subject matter area topic for the continuing education curriculum, visit the Board's web page,

Just hours after the worst earthquake in a generation plunged Japan into crisis, the nation's mafia sprang into action. So began the yakuza relief effort
Saturday, 9 April 2011
On 12 march, around midnight, less than a day after a devastating earthquake tore through the Tohoku region of Japan, causing a tsunami that killed thousands and left many more homeless, 25 trucks bearing 50 tonnes of supplies arrived in front of the City Hall in Hitachinaka, in the east-coast Ibaraki prefecture.
A hundred men in long-sleeves shirts and coats immediately began unloading the boxes. These men weren't the Red Cross. They were members of Japan's third-largest organised crime group, the Inagawa-kai. They had all taken great care to cover up their affiliation. Sleeves were rolled down to hide the ornate tattoos that characterise so many of Japan's yakuza members; those who were missing fingers all wore gloves. They were not wearing their gang badges with the bushels of rice and Mount Fuji in the background that are part of the Inagawa-kai symbol. Their corporate emblem – and all yakuza groups have them – was not on display. Some members of the yakuza even have the logo tattooed on their chests. Needless to say, no one was bare-chested that night.
They came under the cover of the night because they didn't want their donations to become a public affairs issue. Since 30 September, 2009, when the head of Japan's National Police Agency (NPA), the courageous Ando Takaharu, declared war on organised crime, life for these criminal groups has been hard. No one wants to be associated with them, and the Inagawa-kai was well aware that any high-profile operation, even one with charitable intent, could invite harsh police crackdowns.
Hitachinaka City Hall employees understood who they were. One of them recorded a video of the delivery, and they didn't refuse the supplies; it was no time to turn down aid. The main roads in Hitachinaka had been uprooted and split in half, electrical wires knocked down, sewage pipes exploded, the town's historical museum collapsed, over a thousand houses were damaged and by the 13 March, over 9,000 people were scattered in 68 shelters across the city.
The video, which I have seen, shows the gangsters unloading boxes of blankets, water, instant ramen noodles, bean sprouts, flashlights, batteries, paper nappies, toilet rolls: all the essentials of daily life in front of the still-standing City Hall. They were noisy, but fast and efficient. When they were done, they nodded to the city officials who watched on, and left. Another group would come back to the Tohoku region the next day.
The Japanese have been here before. After the great Kobe earthquake in 1995, the Yamaguchi-gumi, the largest of the yakuza groups, which has its fortress-like headquarters in the city, gathered supplies from all around the country and brought them to the stricken residents, dispensing hot food from their offices, patrolling the streets to keep down looting. The mobsters were lauded for being faster and more efficient than the government relief effort – goodwill on which they have been capitalising for over a decade.
The aid delivery to Hitachinaka was not an isolated incident. In the hours after the 11 March quake, major organised crime groups across Japan opened their offices to people who could not return home or find a way to go home. In Tokyo, a yakuza group called the Sumiyoshi-kai, which has its offices in the Ginza entertainment district, opened offices all over the city-state to those who needed it; one yakuza boss even extending invitations to members of the foreign community, non-Japanese residents. According to police and group sources, in the wake of the disaster, the Sumiyoshi-kai has collected over a million dollars from senior members and is distributing goods to Miyagi, Ibaraki, and Fukushima prefectures via front companies and associated members. In some areas, offices have become temporary shelters.
Yes, the yakuza has offices. In fact, if you want to know the addresses of the headquarters of the 22 major designated crime groups with a total membership of over 80,000 people, all you have to do is look on the NPA website.
Yakuza make their money from extortion, blackmail, construction, real estate, collection services, financial market manipulation, protection rackets, fraud and a labyrinth of front companies including labour dispatch services, database servers, and private detective agencies. Tokyo alone has over 800 front companies. The police know who they are and where they are. And so do most people in Japan.
A 24-year-old gas station attendant in Hitachinaka city, still living in a shelter as of 19 March, tells me he knew that the blankets and instant ramen he received came from organised crime.
"Not all the yakuza are bad guys," he says. "It wasn't like they stuck around claiming credit for their work. They're not demanding the blankets be paid back with interest. Maybe some of them are really like Kiryu." Kiryu is the fictional hero of the long-running Sega video game, known as Ryu Ga Gotoku in Japan and Yakuza 1-4 in the West.
The yakuza – real-life yakuza, not the avatars or movie characters – are composed primarily of Korean-Japanese nationals and burakumin, Japan's equivalent of India's outcaste class (see box). They are also home to Japan's delinquents and many members are recruited from motorcycle gangs. Japan has a very modest state drug rehabilitation programme, and it is still not uncommon for parents of addicts to turn over care of their wayward children to a local yakuza boss, who promises to cure them. The unwritten rules of the yakuza world dictate that once you are placed in the care of a yakuza boss, you cannot go to the funeral of your own parents; the mob "father figure" (oyabun) is your only parent.
Despite the folklore surrounding groups, the modern-day yakuza are entrepreneurs, rather than the tattooed, nine-fingered thugs in white suits wielding samurai swords of popular imagination; think Goldman Sachs, with guns. A 2007 report by the NPA warned that the yakuza have even moved into securities trading and infected hundreds of Japan's listed companies, a "disease that will shake the foundations of the economy". The yakuza are innovative, powerful and disciplined, and their influence in Japan spreads further than the official line would have you believe.
I first learnt about Japan's yakuza when I started reporting on organised crime for the Yomiuri Shimbun, Japan's largest newspaper, in 1994. Like everyone else who joined the paper, I learnt the basics of reporting on the police beat, in my case, in Saitama, a rough Tokyo suburb. Over time, I became good friends with the cops who police the yakuza, and then later, some of the yakuza themselves, including Naoya Kaneko, a Sumiyoshi-kai gang boss. In the good old days, the cops and yakuza had semi-friendly relations – sometimes even dropping by the yakuza offices to chat with their organisational counterparts. It was Kaneko who first explained to me that while the yakuza are criminals, they also have rules.
In fact, most yakuza groups post a simple code of ethics posted on the walls of their offices for all to see. Below are the standards and practices for one yakuza group based in Tokyo:
1. It is forbidden to use any form of drugs or deal in them.
2. Theft, robbery, sex crimes, or any activity not in harmony with the noble way is forbidden.
3. It is forbidden to associate with any member expelled from the group.
4. All unnecessary contact with the authorities (the police) is forbidden.
5. Anyone breaking these rules is subject to discipline by the ruling council.
6. Younger members should respect older members; older members should respect younger members, nurture them, and get along for the mutual prosperity of all.
7. Engrave these rules in your heart and follow the noble path (ninkyodo).
"Ninkyodo", the so-called noble path, is a macho form of humanitarianism. According to scholars of the yakuza, it is a philosophy, originating from China, that espouses that every man has a duty to help those who are suffering and oppressed, even when it may mean risking his own life. The yakuza simplify it often as "help the weak, fight the strong". Yakuza groups refer to themselves as ninkyo dantai or "humanitarian groups".
This should not be taken at face value. Last year, I interviewed the late Igari Toshiro, a former prosecutor and anti-yakuza lawyer on the subject of the groups' so-called creed. "In reality, the yakuza prey on the weak and bow down to the strong," he told me. "In the old days, there was an understanding that yakuza were supposed to live in the shadows and not prey on ordinary citizens, but that hasn't been true for decades. However, sometimes some members live up to the ideals they espouse. If you're going to claim to be a humanitarian group, sometimes you have to do humanitarian work. Otherwise, you lose all credibility." (I spoke with Toshiro on 8 August, 2010 about yakuza and how they've changed over the years. It was the last time I saw him alive. He was found dead in his room in Manila a few weeks later. Before he left for Manila, he had told his editor, "I've been sticking my nose into some dangerous business. I'd like to make sure my last book can be published posthumously," and finished all the paperwork. He didn't survive to see it published. After reading it, I find it hard to imagine that there are many yakuza who would have been happy to see the book published.)
In truth, the measure of a yakuza boss is not how honourable he is, it's how much cash he brings in, a fact that might help explain the mobsters' motives for providing aid. A senior member of one organised crime group in eastern Japan acknowledges this. He says: "It's usually about money. Earthquakes and disasters are one of the few times that yakuza can do what they're supposed to do: help other people. We can do it because we're not bound by red tape. It's as simple as putting up the money, ordering the soldiers to buy supplies, put them on trucks, and carry them to areas where they're needed. Certainly some members are looking at this as a chance to gain goodwill and local support when the reconstruction begins. In my case, I just want to give back to the community where I was born. That's the spirit of the yakuza. That's the ideal. Other people have other motives."
Whatever their mixed motives, right now the yakuza are apparently helping the weak and the suffering, bringing warm blankets to those who are cold, feeding the hungry and getting water to the thirsty. The Sumiyoshi-kai and the Inagawa-kai in total have sent over 200 tons of supplies to devastated areas according to police sources and raised several million dollars from their own members to facilitate the aid. The Matsuba-kai, the Kyokuto-kai (both in Tokyo), and even smaller groups like the Aizukotestu-kai (in Kyoto) are all chipping in.
The Yamaguchi-gumi, under heavy police scrutiny, has done most of its work via civilian allies, called kyoseisha. The current acting leader of one faction, an old-school yakuza boss called Tadashi Irie, has been instrumental in organising support. According to sources close to the Yamaguchi-gumi group, members have been distributing cushions, first-aid kits, shoes, socks, food and garbage bags to stricken areas. In all, 800 members have been mobilised.
One Yamaguchi-gumi leader, based in Osaka, chartered several trucks and sent all 200 of his subordinates into disaster-stricken areas with supplies, allegedly even setting up temporary bathing facilities in Miyagi Prefecture and making sure victims received hot meals, according to Osaka Police Department sources.
One member of the Sumiyoshi-kai group I spoke to, a full-time gangster in the Saitama prefecture specialising in extortion, explains the efforts simply:
"In times like this, the usual societal divisions are meaningless. There aren't yakuza and civilians or foreigners and Japanese. We're all Japanese now. We all live here. Down the road, there is money to be made, for sure.
"Right now, it's about saving lives and helping each other out. Ninety-five per cent of all yakuza are human garbage. Maybe 5 per cent uphold the rules. Right now we're all doing our best. It's one of the few times we can be better than we normally are."
Even a senior police officer from Ibaraki agrees, speaking under conditions of anonymity. "I have to hand it to the yakuza. They have been on the ground from day one providing aid where others don't or cannot do it. Laws can be like a two-edged sword and sometimes they hamper relief efforts. Sometimes, outlaws are faster than the law. This is one of those times."
Other police officers see another side. One Osaka detective in the organised crime control division explains, "There's an aspect of this which is girikake (fundraising). The yakuza do this for funerals and other events. They ask all the lower members of the franchise to chip in funds and thus collect large chunks of cash. They've been doing it this time, as well.
"It's a great cover for collecting huge funds right from under our noses. I don't think all the payments they are collecting are going to aid relief. Maybe 10 per cent or more is staying in the headquarters accounts or in the pockets of some bosses." Veteran yakuza writer, Suzuki Tomohiko, is also a little more sceptical of the groups' motives.
"Certainly there are guys at the lower levels acting out of perceived duty. But when you consider that the yakuza take in about 5 per cent of the profits made in Japan's construction industry, you can also see why they're sending aid.
"They're paving the way for a share of the reconstruction loot. It would be foolish to imagine that some of them are not acting out of ulterior motives," Tomohiko admonishes, but then adds the following.
"When you're cold and hungry, I don't think you really care about the motivation behind the people who are providing you warmth, food and comfort. That's a secondary concern.
"Yakuza are people as well, with families, friends and relatives in the stricken areas. For once, they're living up to the code of honour they espouse. Let's hope that continues."
Why are the Yakuza so powerful in Japan?
There are a number of theories tracing the yakuza back to the feudal period of Japan and some groups, like Kyoto's Aizukotestu, date back to 1868. However, it was really following the Second World War that they gained power. In those years, joining the mob appealed particularly to disenfranchised returning soldiers; burakumin, the country's 'outcaste' class; orphans; and the many Korean-Japanese who had been brought into Japan as slave labour.
Today, of the estimated 80,000 members, almost half are led by Korean-Japanese. During the lawless period after Japan's 1945 defeat, the Korean-Japanese, who had been oppressed by the Imperial Japanese government, made inroads into the underworld. US occupying forces designated them "third party nationals", treating them differently than the defeated Japanese. This gave them access to US military supplies and enabled them to run the black markets.
In some ways, the 20th-century rebirth of the yakuza in Japan was a response to the domination of the black markets by the Koreans. The Koreans had formed their own small gangs, which would rob and pillage from other Japanese and then sell the same goods the next day on the black market. By April of 1946, the occupying authorities (General Headquarters, or GHQ) decreed that all those residing in Japan must follow Japanese law. But the Japanese police found their efforts to crack down on the yakuza hampered by GHQ's decision to decentralise the police.
At the same time, Japanese gangs who were fighting over black market turf with the Koreans began reviving the old yakuza structure, and incorporated many Korean-Japanese into their ranks: rather than wage direct war, they began a successful policy of assimilation. In some cases, the police actually backed the Japanese yakuza groups in an effort to restore order and limit the power and breadth of the Korean gangs.
In postwar Tokyo, the Kyokutokai, a yakuza federation of merchants and black market dealers, used their own Japanese-Korean members to recruit from the Korean side, eventually gaining partial control of city. Over in western Japan, the Yamaguchi-gumi played both sides, promising both to restore order and suppress the violent Korean gangs.
While the Yamaguchi-gumi was consolidating power in Tokyo with the aid of Korean-Japanese, the legendary Korean gangster, Machii Hisayuki, exploited GHQ's fears of a communist takeover to build his own criminal organisation; some of this is documented in Robert Whiting's seminal book, Tokyo Underworld.
In 1948, Machii created the Toseikai in Ginza, Japan's largest entertainment district. The group took over the gambling dens, the bars, the cabaret clubs, and the sex trade. By 1964, it had 1,500 members.
The following year, the Mainichi newspaper ran an exposé in which it referred to the Toseikai as "one of the most terrifying and influential underworld organisations in Japan". The Japanese police launched a full-scale crackdown on the group, and they disbanded, only to later re-form under a different name.
The yakuza reputation for keeping disputes between themselves and not harming citizens has protected them from the ire of the public and the attentions of the police. They have been considered "necessary evil" and a "second police force". Yet, they are still considered outlaws.
That ambiguity was supposed to have ended in 1992, when the government introduced the toughest anti-mob legislation in a generation. But, incredibly, the state still hasn't made membership of Japan's 22 designated crime groups illegal, or given the police the anti-mob tools long considered crucial in other countries: wiretapping, plea bargaining and witness protection.
It seems unlikely that the necessary tools to dismantle the yakuza will be given to the Japanese police anytime soon. In many ways, the yakuza are stronger than ever.

Mgadla, P.T. (Research and Development Unit, University of Botswana, NaN, 1997)[more][less]
Abstract: This paper is about the introduction of western education by Missionaries in Africa. These European Missionaries left their homes for religius reasons, to convert the "heathens" to the christian religion. Convertion to christian religion faced many hurdles like language barriers, cultural beliefs and that the people to be converted were illiterate. The converts to be had to be taught how to read and write to be able to interpret the bible. The education offered by Missionaries was tended to be scriptural in nature because the intended converts were supposed to read and understandthe great book of God - the Bible. Emphasis was on religious studies. Missionaries targeted African leaders such as Chiefs in their endeavor to convert and also to introduce western education. Once the leaders were convinced and converted in the new religion and education, they would influence the dissemination of the new faith to their groups or tribes. Western education was introduced in the manner such as described above among Batswana. The Missionaries who introduced western education and christianity were members of the London Missiory Society (LMS) formed in 1795 and these were Dr. Robert Moffat and Dr. Livingstone.

Yet another movie I won't be able to appreciate because Tumblr likes it. Way too much. Annoyingly so. So much that it's become a trained reaction to respond to the very mention of the film with a middle finger and an unfollow.
I don't know what to put here right now.

Investing in Seattle's Economic Strengths
Seattle's economic competitiveness is bolstered by a strong entrepreneurial ethic, robust manufacturing and maritime base and leading businesses in innovative and creative sectors. These key economic sectors are the foundation from which we derive our growth in jobs and income.
- Manufacturing and Maritime: OED is partnering with King County to develop a regional program to incentivize new, sustainable investment in our industrial sector.
- With King County, we are creating a countywide inventory of industrial firms in the form of a web-based GIS mapping system in order to provide better customer service and facilitate collaborative partnerships.
- OED is cataloging the regulatory issues and constraints that most directly impact the growth of manufacturing and maritime firms.
- Healthcare and Life Sciences: The Mayor has convened stakeholders to identify priorities. Work has begun on the following issues:
- Re-examination of the hazardous materials code to allow for greater flexibility in the development of laboratories in South Lake Union without compromising public safety standards.
- Mapping of opportunities for collaboration among global health organizations and new business opportunities in the global health sector for non-global health companies.
- Construction of a new Seattle City Light substation to accommodate current and future growth in South Lake Union.
- Evaluation of zoning changes in South Lake Union with a focus on additional housing development and to meet the demands of innovative companies.
- Content Technology Initiative: This initiative connects film, music, and interactive media with local technology creators to position Seattle as a leader in digital media.
- Organized monthly networking events attended by over 2,600 business leaders in the content technology industries resulting in at least 20 new business ventures started.
- Established the Seattle Music Commission, which already has several creative economy initiatives underway.
- Recruited 10 new civic partners to the City of Music Initiative.
- Developed capacity of the UmojaFEST P.E.A.C.E. Center to better connect African American youth to entrepreneurial opportunities in the creative economy.
- Energy Efficiency Innovation: Seattle possesses the public, private, and research strengths to capture a large share of demand for new energy efficiency technologies, projected to grow from $300 billion in 2004 to $700 billion in 2030. Collaboration to take advantage of this opportunity has accelerated over the last year.
- Prosperity Partnership completed a regional business plan for developing Seattle's energy efficiency sector, which has been endorsed by the Brookings Institution.
- Supported the launch of the 2030 District, a coalition of downtown building owners committed to creating a high performance building district that will drive significant reduction (ranging from 10% to 60%) in energy and water usage and greenhouse gas emissions in existing and new buildings in Seattle's commercial center by 2030.
- OED, Seattle City Light, the University of Washington, and Microsoft are collaborating in the development of a pilot project to demonstrate and evaluate information technology solutions for achieving energy savings and load balancing across a broad landscape of building types.
- Restaurant / Retail / Hospitality: The Mayor and Seattle's Convention and Visitors Bureau have convened stakeholders to identify several priorities including public safety, parking, public transit, streetscape improvements, and the activation of public spaces. Work has begun on the following issues:
- Formation of the Seattle Tourism Improvement Area to increase leisure tourism to Seattle by advertising and promoting our city as a premier vacation destination in external markets.
- Submitted an extended liquor service hours proposal as part of the Nightlife Initiative to give businesses greater flexibility to adapt to the market demands of residents and visitors.
- Successfully petitioned the Washington State Liquor Control Board to approve changes that make it easier to open and operate sidewalk cafés that activate public spaces in commercial districts.
- Neighborhood Business Districts: Seattle is envied for the authenticity and vibrancy of its neighborhoods. The City has prioritized helping neighborhoods organize strategically to strengthen their commercial districts.
- The Only in Seattle initiative has invested $1 million and provided staff expertise to help 18 neighborhoods execute strategies for business attraction and retention, marketing and promotion, cleanliness and safety, physical improvements, and organizational capacity building.
- 13 of these neighborhoods are participating in the Only in Seattle marketing campaign that promotes shopping and dining locally and finding the unique hidden gems in our neighborhood business districts. www.onlyinseattle.org
- The City invested $300,000 to assist the business community during the South Park bridge closure, including supporting the Latino businesses along 14th Ave. S. to form a business association and investing in marketing the business district as a unique Seattle neighborhood.
- Partnered with the Alliance for Pioneer Square to develop and execute "Pioneer Square 2015: A Strategy for Seattle's First Neighborhood." Major accomplishments include:
- Passage of the South Downtown rezone legislation to increase residential density.
- Investment of $100,000 to help the Alliance for Pioneer Square develop a retail attraction and retention program and organize promotions and events to draw shoppers to the neighborhood.
- Launch of the community's historic "Trails to Treasure" walking tour assisted by an $85,000 grant from the Neighborhood Matching Fund.
- Partnered with arts organizations on "Storefronts Seattle"- a series of temporary galleries and studios in vacant spaces in Pioneer Square and the Chinatown/ID. The program has showcased more than two dozen local artists since its inception late last year.
- Manufacturing: Solicit "pioneer" industrial development projects that result in increased economic benefit and improved environmental performance within our Manufacturing and Industrial Centers.

After treatment for pancreatic cancer ends, talk with your doctor about developing a follow-up care plan. This plan may include regular physical examinations and/or medical tests to monitor your recovery for the coming months and years.
ASCO offers cancer treatment summary forms to help keep track of the cancer treatment you received and develop a survivorship care plan once treatment is completed.
For people who have had surgery, follow-up visits every three to six months with the oncologist are typically recommended. Blood tests, including monitoring liver function and the tumor marker CA 19-9, may be done during these visits. CT scans are not needed regularly, but they may be used depending on a person's symptoms and any changes found during the physical examination or with the blood work. PET scans may be used to look for a recurrence after treatment.
People recovering from pancreatic cancer are encouraged to follow established guidelines for good health, such as maintaining a healthy weight, not smoking, eating a balanced diet, and having recommended cancer screening tests. Talk with your doctor to develop a plan that is best for your needs. Moderate physical activity can help rebuild your strength and energy level. Your doctor can help you create an appropriate exercise plan based upon your needs, physical abilities, and fitness level. Learn more about the next steps to take in survivorship, including making positive lifestyle changes.
Find out more about common terms used after cancer treatment is complete.

They fit the Stewmac Humbucker Kits perfectly and look very nice too!! Another Quality Stewmac Product!!
Epiphone MIK(orea) LP Bridge 2-5/64", Neck 1-15/16. I posted a review that said 2-5/64 was the way to go for a MIK LP. I later found the neck pup was different as another reviewer cautioned. Again, finish is fine. If your gold plating is worn, the 32 bucks for a pair of these is well worth it. They make your gold hardware baby eye candy again.
The 2-5/64 spread covers fit the pups on my Korean made LP Ultra. Don't know about pups on the MIC LPs. I haven't measured one yet. Plating is fine. They come with a protective cover you peel off.
Very high quality. Good plating and finish. The covers fit my Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates and '59 PUPs like a glove. The holes lined up perfectly. However, measure carefully to get the correct pole spacing for each before ordering. The neck and bridge are sometimes different.
Great fit, easy to wax pot and solder. Really dresses up that bridge humbucker nicely.
Bought a neck and bridge, and plan to send them back immediately. The quality of the plating is fine, but they don't fit Golden Age or DiMarzio pickups in the neck or the bridge.
Sorry to report these covers do not fit Gibson humbucker pickups. They may be good for imports, but not for major non import brands.
Just over a year ago, I ordered all new electronics for my les Paul with stew mac's golden age overwound humbuckers. The holes in the gold covers, at least, don't line up with their own p'ups. It's okay if you don't look too closely at it, but it's very disappointing for this usually great company.
My customer was snagging the high E string in the uncovered spool of the neck pickup on this Les Paul Standard. The Gold Humbucker Pickup Covers solved the problem and together with the tobacco sunburst, the pickups made the instrument even more handsome.
I purchased the Gold with no holes cover to go with a Stewmac Humbucker I wound, and had absolutely no issues. Looks Great and fits Snug, and like most Stewmac items was delivered in record time.
