The Gift of Fear (edition 1998)
by Gavin de Becker (Author)
Work details
The Gift of Fear by Gavin de Becker
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
So much better than I expected, this book surprised me with its critical thinking & clear analysis.
A must read book not just for women, but for anybody who doesn't want to be stalked or harassed. I think most women have encountered overly persistent suitors at some point.
While it has great pointers, the weakness of the book is that it is primarily prevention methods. I don't think it'll help when some violent person is hellbent on hurting you or your family members. Yes, a restraining order is just a piece of paper, but what can you do when the psycho is already so emotionally invested when he ignores warnings from the police to stay away?
The overall message to listen to your intuition is good, but de Becker's ideas about domestic violence are so wrong-headed as to be dangerous, perpetuating the idea that victims deserve their treatment.
The chapters that related to everyday advice were useful, especially the last chapter, and there were several points where the author articulated something I subconsciously knew but had never consciously considered. Some of the anecdotes and stories were also very interesting, and for the most part the book felt educational and genuinely useful.
A substantial amount of content, however, focused on celebrities and celebrity lifestyles, and was big on anecdotes and short on actual advice. The author also constantly touted his security company, which after a while started to grate. I'm sure his company does great work, but in a book that's advertised as a way to empower people into taking their security into their own hands, it seems out of place. There's also a risk of confirmation bias in the stories the author tells, and I'm hesitant to take his word as 100% true--especially when certain parts of the book openly contradict each other, like when he pigeonholes certain traits as risk factors for violence while at the same time saying that people should trust their intuition above any arbitrary list of risk factors.
All things considered, this book is a good reference for those interested in personal safety, but I recommend reading it for general advice rather than as a how-to manual for safety.
A staggering read. Vital for anyone raising children, or whose work regularly brings them in contact with 'the public '. A lot of this is things we all know instinctively, but it is unbelievably useful to see it all pulled together and analysed by a professional with unquestionable resources at his disposal. If you have ever been a victim of unwanted attention or a violent attack you will be amazed to see that it did not 'suddenly come out of nowhere'. Nothing is random. But ultimately, we are all much safer than we might think. The ultimate lesson is: Don't give in to fear, harness it.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0440508835, Paperback)Each hour, 75 women are raped in the United States, and every few seconds, a woman is beaten. Each day, 400 Americans suffer shooting injuries, and another 1,100 face criminals armed with guns. Author Gavin de Becker says victims of violent behavior usually feel a sense of fear before any threat or violence takes place. They may distrust the fear, or it may impel them to some action that saves their lives. A leading expert on predicting violent behavior, de Becker believes we can all learn to recognize these signals of the "universal code of violence," and use them as tools to help us survive. The book teaches how to identify the warning signals of a potential attacker and recommends strategies for dealing with the problem before it becomes life threatening. The case studies are gripping and suspenseful, and include tactics for dealing with similar situations.
People don't just "snap" and become violent, says de Becker, whose clients include federal government agencies, celebrities, police departments, and shelters for battered women. "There is a process as observable, and often as predictable, as water coming to a boil." Learning to predict violence is the cornerstone to preventing it. De Becker is a master of the psychology of violence, and his advice may save your life. --Joan Price A Q&A with Gavin de Becker
Question: In today's world, where terror and tragedy seem omnipresent, the fear of violence never seems more heightened. Is the world a more violent place than it ever has been?
Gavin de Becker : Your question contains much of the answer: today's world, "where terror and tragedy seem omnipresent..." The key word is "seem." When TV news coverage presents so much on these topics, it elevates the perception of terrorism and tragedy way beyond the reality. In every major city, TV news creates forty hours of original production every day, most of it composed and presented to get our attention with fear. Hence an incident on an airplane in which a man fails to do any damage is treated as if the make-shift bomb actually exploded. It didn't. Imagine having a near miss in your car, avoiding what would have been a serious collision--and then talking about every hour for months after the fact. Welcome to TV news.
To the second part of your question, No, the world is not a more violent place than it has ever been, however we live as if it were. The U.S. is the most powerful nation in world history--and also the most afraid.
Question: Your bestselling book The Gift of Fear gives many examples to help readers recognize what you call pre-incident indicators (PINS) of violence. What role does intuition play in recognizing these signals?
Gavin de Becker: Like every creature on earth, we have an extraordinary defense resource: We don't have the sharpest claws and strongest jaws--but we do have the biggest brains, and intuition is the most impressive process of these brains. It might be hard to accept its importance because intuition is often described as emotional, unreasonable, or inexplicable. Husbands chide their wives about "feminine intuition" and don't take it seriously. If intuition is used by a woman to explain some choice she made or a concern she can't let go of, men roll their eyes and write it off. We much prefer logic, the grounded, explainable, unemotional thought process that ends in a supportable conclusion. In fact, Americans worship logic, even when it's wrong, and deny intuition, even when it's right. Men, of course, have their own version of intuition, not so light and inconsequential, they tell themselves, as that feminine stuff. Theirs is more viscerally named a "gut feeling," but whatever name we use, it isn't just a feeling. It is a process more extraordinary and ultimately more logical in the natural order than the most fantastic computer calculation. It is our most complex cognitive process and, at the same time, the simplest.
Intuition connects us to the natural world and to our nature. It carries us to predictions we will later marvel at. "Somehow I knew," we will say about the chance meeting we predicted, or about the unexpected phone call from a distant friend, or the unlikely turnaround in someone's behavior, or about the violence we steered clear of, or, too often, the violence we elected not to steer clear of. The Gift of Fear offers strategies that help us recognize the signals of intuition--and helps us avoid denial, which is the enemy of safety.
Question: Your latest book, Just 2 Seconds, has been called a "masterpiece" of analysis on the art of preventing assassination. It contains an entire compendium of attacks on protected persons across the globe. What motivated you to put together such a definitive reference? What tenets can be applied to one's everyday life?
Gavin de Becker: Most of all, we wrote the book we needed. My co-authors and I had long looked for an extensive collection of attack summaries from which important new insights could be harvested. Unable to find it, we committed to do the work ourselves, eventually collecting more than 1400 cases to analyze. Many new insights and concepts emerged from the study, and the one most applicable to day to day life, even for people who are not living with unusual risks, is to be in the present; pre-sent, as it were. Now is the only time anything ever happens--now is where the action is. All focus on anything outside the Now (the past, memory, the future, fantasy) detracts focus from what's actually happening in your environment. Human being have the capacity to look right at something and not see it, and in studying such a crisp event--the few seconds during which assassinations have occurred--Just 2 Seconds aims to enhance the reader's ability to see the value of the present moment.

A Cooperative Planning Effort
|The Butte Regional Conservation Plan (BRCP) is being coordinated by the Butte County Association of Governments (BCAG) on behalf of:
Western Canal Water District • Richvale Irrigation District
Biggs West-Gridley Water District • Butte Water District
The BRCP is both a federal Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) and a state Natural Community Conservation Plan (NCCP). It is a voluntary plan that will provide streamlined endangered species act and wetlands permitting for transportation projects, land development and other covered activities over the 50 year term of the permits. It will also provide comprehensive species, wetlands and ecosystem conservation and contribute to the recovery of endangered species within the Plan Area.
The BRCP will replace the existing environmental permitting process that is unpredictable, inconsistent, time consuming, costly, and results in ineffective conservation. The BRCP will:

What's New
The next BRCP Stakeholder Committee meeting will be scheduled for later this fa;; 2014, exact date TBD. The purpose of the meeting will be to discuss the updated project schedule, review any
final changes to the formal public draft BRCP not covered in the March 2014 Stakeholder Committee
meeting, and provide detail on the forthcoming 90-day public review period.
The release of the BRCP and EIS/EIR for the 90-day review period has been pushed back to fall 2014. This is due to the need for USFWS regional office to review the document prior to publishing the Notice of Availability in the Federal Register. This process has been taking longer than expected due to staffing shortages at USWFS. The formal public draft BRCP and EIS/EIR were completed and submitted to USFWS in April 2014 for review.

Did you take some time Monday while you were at work to sneak in some online shopping? If you did, you're not alone.
Cyber Monday 2012 is shaping up to be the biggest online shopping day ever. Which is good news for some Omaha businesses who depend on internet sales.
As online shopping grows in popularity, so do the businesses who depend on it, like Picture Pretty Kites.
Helen Gorr runs the business from her home in north central Omaha. She sells and ships kites of all shapes and sizes. Cyber Monday marks the start of a busy holiday season for Gorr.
"You can sit at home in your easy chair in front of your laptop or computer and five days later you have it at your doorstep, or even sooner," says Gorr. "And that can't be beat in my mind."
Across town at Omaha Steaks, Cyber Monday is busy online and on the phone. It's the busiest day of the year so far for the 95-year-old company.
The online giant more than doubles it's workforce during the holidays.
"In 1995, we really went big on the internet," says Todd Simon, owner of Omaha Steaks. "And that's really exploded for us. Today we're getting a very significant percentage of our sales from online. And it's proven to be a very comfortable way for our customers to shop with us."
For many online retailers, Cyber Monday began Sunday with specials. Many sites are still offering specials through the Monday night.

Written by Chris Boyle, firstname.lastname@example.com Friday, 07 February 2014 00:00
For many seniors, as well as a growing segment of younger people, the art of ballroom dance is a timeless way to while away hours while keeping both body and mind fit—and it doesn't hurt that it's a whole lot of fun.
Pearl Bacal of Hickville, co-founder of the Society Tempo Ballroom Dancing Club of Hicksville along with partner Nick Maucus, has been teaching and running dances all over Nassau County for over 25 years. Society Tempo meets every Friday afternoon at Kismet Hall in Hicksville and on a good day can attract as many as 40 participants, who spend the afternoon dancing their feet off in addition to enjoying lunch and refreshments. The event caters primarily to seniors, but Bacal was quick to note that all age groups are welcome.
"It's a hobby for them. A lot of their friends or relatives have maybe passed on and they like to come to our club where they can meet people they have something in common with," Bacal said. "It's wonderful exercise because you're using every muscle in your body and your brain is working the entire time. It provides both mental and physical relaxation, which is very important. It's important for people to remain active as they get older."
Bacal, who was born and raised in Sheepshead Bay in Brooklyn, has had a deep love of dance for as long as she can remember, having come from a family with a strong musical background.
"I have a background in ballet as a child, and my father was a very big tango and waltz person," she said. "I got my training at Dance Educators of America, so I was always up on the latest dances. Teaching dance is something that you enjoy because you're giving to people. It's artistry, and you're molding people into something they can be very satisfied with. It's a wonderful escape."
While ballroom dancing can take many forms and be set to many different kinds of music, there is one important constant to the technique that Bacal said must be adhered to at all times.
"There's lead and follow. The gentleman has to lead the lady to a certain pattern and the lady has to learn to follow. It is very bad for a lady to lead, so the man is always in charge," she said. "But only on the dance floor! Once they get off the floor, all bets are off."
Walter and Alfedia Schoendorf of Merrick have been attending Society Tempo dances for a whopping 30 years, and they attribute the sessions to keeping them both spry and lively on their feet.
"It's wonderful. It's good exercise, you meet nice people, and it doesn't cost you much. It's ideal," Walter said. "Many years ago I never danced, but eventually my wife took me to a group lesson and I enjoyed it very much and we started dancing together all of the time."
Farmingdale residents Frank and Madelyn Bondietti are also long-time members of Society Tempo and attend dances almost every single week.
"We love being members of this club," Frank said. "The social aspect is great and we get plenty of exercise. We enjoy dancing and have gone on a number of cruises where we always dance away."
Dorothy Radler of New Hyde Park has been letting her feet do the talking at Society Tempo with her partner David Rice for quite some time now, and the two say that it's a great way to keep active and meet new people.
"We've been coming for about eight years, and one of the main reasons we come is because it's during the day," she said. "We enjoy the dancing, but more so, we enjoy the socializing. Everybody has been coming here a long while and it's almost like family, which makes is very nice. And it's very good exercise, both for your mind and your body."

"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

Fourth man charged in murder of Highland Park man

A fourth man has been charged in the fatal shooting of a 20-year-old Highland Park man whose body was found off the Edens Expy. in Wilmette.
Officials said Colin Nutter, 20, of Highland Park, was murdered in a car Highwood then dropped near the expressway in Wilmette on June 3. Three Highland Park residents were charged with first-degree murder.
Bond was set at $100,000 this weekend for Francisco Anthony Martinez, 19. Martinez is charged with obstruction of justice for allegedly providing investigators with false information in the Nutter murder investigation, according to court records.
Martinez, of the 2600 block of Sumit, Highland Park may have provided the .40-caliber gun to Benjamin Schenk, 20, Philip Vatamaniuc, 17, and Michael Coffee, 17, to kill Nutter, Assistant State's Attorney Reginald Mathews said.
Martinez's parents kept guns in the house, Mathews said. An investigation is under way to determine whether Martinez gave the .40 caliber handgun to the three men, Mathews said.
"At this point, we don't know if the gun came from (Martinez's) house. It's being tested at the state crime lab," Mathews said.
Schenk, Vatamaniuc and Coffee are known to have spent the night at Martinez's house when Martinez's parents were not home, Mathews said.
The three men allegedly met Nutter in his car to purchase marijuana on June 3, official said.
Officials said Coffee and Vatamaniuc gave statements that Schenk shot Nutter in the head. Schenk and Vatamaniuc then moved Nutter into the trunk of his own vehicle and drove it to the area in Wilmette where officials later found Nutter's body, officials said.
The three men charged with first-degree murder are in custody at Lake County Jail in lieu of $5 million bond. They are each due for arraignment July 2.
Martinez is in custody at Lake County Jail in lieu of $100,000 bond. He is due for bond review July 3.

Nassau County District Attorney Kathleen Rice announced that a retired dispatcher for the Glen Cove Fire Department has been sentenced to one to three years in jail for stealing more than $196,000 over a six-year period from the department's general fund, which he controlled for 20 years, by writing himself hundreds of checks and forging the department's treasurer's signature on more than 100 of them.
George William Gray, 68, of Hendersonville, N.C. had pled guilty to the top count of Larceny in the Second Degree. He was sentenced last week before Judge Jerald Carter to one to three years in jail and was also ordered to pay restitution through a civil judgment order.
Rice said that Gray, who retired in March 2009 after working for the City of Glen Cove for 34 years as a fire dispatcher, served as a volunteer firefighter for the City of Glen Cove Fire Department for 44 years. For approximately 20 of those years, Gray was the chairman of the department's fund drive, whose sole source of funds was volunteer donors. The funds were maintained in an account supervised by Gray and intended for distribution to the department and the four volunteer fire companies that make up the department.
Rice said that between May 10, 2003 and March 6, 2009, Gray wrote approximately 300 checks payable to cash, to himself, and to his personal credit card accounts, including checks to pay for model railroad equipment, gourmet cigars and gambling debts. On more than 100 of the checks, Gray forged the signature of the department's treasurer. The thefts were discovered by the department after Gray's retirement, and referred to the DA's Office by Glen Cove Mayor Ralph Suozzi.
Gray was arrested by DA Investigators on September 28, 2010.
"The years of deceiving and stealing from the Glen Cove Fire Department caught up with this defendant and he will now pay the price," Rice said. "Mr. Gray not only preyed on the generosity of Glen Cove residents who donated to the fire department, but he betrayed the trust of his colleagues."
Assistant District Attorney William Jorgenson of the Public Corruption Bureau is handling the case for the DA's Office. Gray is represented by Peter Bongiorno, Esq.

I don't think you can buy a better quality camera for the money. I have been shooting sports, alongside another photographer that has a 6,000 dollar Nikon Body. There is very little that his camera can do that this one can't. At 9 frames per second, it more than quick enough. The only drawback is the smaller sensor. When I bought the camera, I was choosing between the 7D and 5D. I shoot more sports, so the frames per second mattered to me. I used to be a landscape photographer when I was shooting film. Landscapes and portraiture aren't the same with the smaller sensor. Your wide angle lens now becomes a normal lens, causing you to loose depth of field. I am looking and waiting to buy the 5 D Mark II, hopefully the Mark III will bring the price down. They are both very good cameras, but I think each has it's specialty.
Great Frame rate, Build and noise performance. Love it.
I love this camera so much I have two! I'm a freelance photographer part time and shoot high school sports and local events this camera gives you about eight frames per second, and is fantastic, use with a fast 2.8 lens and you can shoot indoor sports like Basketball or Volleyball. I also use this camera with a fast 600X write speed memory card so there is very little delay between shots.

The Grant County soldiers who gave their life serving in Vietnam will be honored at 5 p.m. on Sept. 27 at the American Legion Post 137 in Williamstown.
The names of Staff Sgt. Carl A. Ballenger, Specialist Johnnie David Knight, Specialist Robert Allen Osborne, Private First Class Edger Lee Tomlinson and Corporal Ernest Howard Wilson, the five Grant County natives who died during the Vietnam War, have been etched in stone in a monument in their honor.
More than 200 people participated in last year's Walk To End Alzheimer's, which generated $19,000 in donations.
Alzheimer's is a type of dementia that causes problems with memory, thinking and behavior. Symptoms usually develop slowly and get worse over time, becoming severe enough to interfere with daily tasks.
Authorities quickly apprehended two male teenagers Sept. 17 who escaped the Northern Kentucky Youth Development Center.
The facility is located in southern Kenton County off Interstate 75 near Crittenden.
The teens escaped shortly after 3 p.m., leading to a slew of law enforcement, including the Grant County Sheriff's Office, Kenton County Police, the Boone County Sheriff's Office and Kentucky State Police, searching the area.
Nearly 200 motorcycles and six vehicles gathered at Grant County Park in Crittenden for a good cause.
The inaugural Northern Kentucky Ride Against Addiction held Sept. 13 raised $7,297 for Transitions, a non-profit charity that provides life-saving treatment to those with substance abuse disorders.
With donations still pouring in, the amount raised will likely increase, said April Swope, organizer of the event.
"Then the word of the Lord came unto me," the old weeping prophet, Jeremiah, penned as he was moved by the Holy Spirit.
He quoted these words many times throughout the book, but there is something about the first time he said it that separates it from all others. It was at a young age that the presence of God bombarded Jeremiah's life, as history would place him in the late teenage years or early 20's.

It wasn't a happy Homecoming for the Grant County High School Braves as the football team fell to Walton-Verona.
The 35-14 defeat was the third consecutive loss for GCHS and drops the team's record to 1-3-1.
The Grant County High School hosted the annual Dry Ridge Toyota Cup soccer tournament. The boys bracket featured the Braves, Conner High School, Gallatin and Powell County. The girls bracket consisted of the Lady Braves, Boone, Lincoln and Spencer County.
In the boys first round Conner beat up on Powell 7-0. The Braves took on Gallatin. The Braves came into play on Saturday with a record of 6-1, riding the crest of six straight wins, including three straight over regional opponents Henry, Owen and district rival Simon Kenton.

WASHINGTON - Virginia Republican legislators have dropped a bitterly contested requirement that women seeking abortions undergo invasive ultrasound imaging, likely dooming the bill.
The Republican-ruled House of Delegates voted 65-32 for an amended bill that requires only an external ultrasound, not the vaginal insertion of a wand-like device that emits ultrasonic waves.
The House amended the bill minutes after Republican Gov. Bob McDonnell came out against mandating the more invasive procedure. McDonnell shifted ground after the proposal drew outrage from women, national ridicule from television comedians and appeals from GOP moderates.
The amended bill now returns to the Senate where its sponsor, Sen. Jill Vogel, said she will strike the legislation. A House version, by Del. Kathy Byron, is pending before a Senate committee.
McDonnell issued a statement Wednesday afternoon saying no Virginia woman should be required to undergo a transvaginal ultrasound.
The social conservative appealed for amendments to the bitterly contested bill to make a transvaginal ultrasound optional for women seeking abortions. In the procedure, a wand-like device is inserted and used to send out sound waves.
"Mandating an invasive procedure in order to give informed consent is not a proper role for the state. No person should be directed to undergo an invasive procedure by the state, without their consent, as a precondition to another medical procedure," McDonnell says.
Instead, McDonnell is asking "that only a transabdominal, or external, ultrasound will be required to satisfy the requirements to determine gestational age."
"The government will have no role in that medical decision," he says.
McDonnell, who has been mentioned often as a potential vice presidential candidate, had originally backed the bill.

Luke 5:18-19
"Some men came carrying a paralytic on a mat and tried to take him into the house to lay him before Jesus. When they could not find a way to do this because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and lowered him on his mat through the tiles into the middle of the crowd, right in front of Jesus." (NIV)
"Just then some men came, carrying on a stretcher a man who was paralyzed. They tried to bring him in and set him down before Him. Since they could not find a way to bring him in because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and lowered him on the stretcher through the roof tiles into the middle of the crowd before Jesus." (HCSB)
These men had great faith in Jesus! They wanted to help their friend and had faith that Jesus could do it! They went so far as climbing up to the roof, making a hole in it and lowering their paralyzed friend down to Jesus!
What faith! Oh that I could have that kind of faith! And Jesus saw their faith by their actions and forgave and healed the paralyzed man (v. 5:20-24).
What priority is your personal faith? Do you seek Jesus first and foremost in your life? What about for your friends, Christians and non-Christians alike? How hard are you willing to work to bring them before our Savior?
Do our actions reflect our faith? Not for earning any favor, but a true, from the depths of our hearts, faith and yearning for Jesus!
Heavenly Father, I have faith that you are the Maker of heaven and earth, that you have provided salvation and a renewed relationship with your creation through Jesus, and that all wounds can be healed through Him. I pray, Lord, that you would fill my heart with a faith that would lead to action and a passionate desire to seek you always, for myself and those around me. In Jesus Christ's name I pray – Amen.

Parents object to vaccine exemption formThe Associated Press | November 29,2012MONTPELIER — Vermont Health Department officials have rewritten rules designed to implement a new law on childhood immunizations, but some parents aren't satisfied with how those changes are being made.
An earlier draft of the rules said when parents want to exempt their child from vaccinations they need to sign a form implying they agree with the Health Department's assessment of the vaccines' risks and benefits. Parents who have expressed skepticism about vaccines say that's compelled speech, and that it violates the First Amendment.
Health Department officials tell lawmakers the rules had been rewritten to address those concerns.
But Jennifer Stella of the Vermont Coalition for Vaccine Choice says school nurses haven't been told about the rewrite.
Deputy Health Commissioner Tracy Dolan says that should be happening soon.MORE IN This Just InVermont hazardous-materials team members were at the Asa Bloomer state office building in... Full StoryHoliday Festival Full StorySpeed blamed Full Story

International and Comparative Law Center
We are part of an ever more globalized and interconnected international community, and it is increasingly likely that all of our graduates will encounter international or foreign law issues no matter what career path they may pursue.
The International and Comparative Law Center works to coordinate the education of Washburn Law students in international and comparative law — helping them to understand not only international law and foreign legal systems, but to deepen their understanding of their own system of law, and to prepare them for a modern legal career. The Center also supports and promotes the work of Washburn faculty members in their research, writing, and conference work, their teaching and other educational activities, as well as in their more practical work in international and comparative law, both at home and abroad, in a wide range of specializations.
Center Co-sponsors Oil and Gas Investment Arbitrations Conference
Professor Freddy Sourgens is part of the organizing team for a conference on "Oil and Gas Investment Arbitrations: Protecting Oil and Gas Projects Against Political Risk", co-sponsored by Washburn University School of Law's Oil and Gas Law Center and International and Comparative Law Center, the University of Houston Law Center, and the International Law Institute, in Houston, October 31, 2014. The conference brings together lawyers practicing in the area of oil and gas and international arbitration, and academics specializing in international arbitration, international law, and oil and gas law.

Professor Martin Joins the Japanese Constitutional Debate
Professor Craig Martin contributed to the increasingly heated debate in Japan this summer regarding Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's efforts to "reinterpret" Article 9, the provision of the Constitution of Japan that renounces war and the use of force. Some of Professor Martin's earlier scholarship examined Article 9 as a model of constitutional constraint, and example of constitutional incorporation of international law principles.
Professor Martin wrote an op-ed article for the Japan Times critical of the Mr. Abe's "reinterpretation" efforts, which was published alongside an article by Mr. Abe himself defending the initiative. Professor Martin also had a lengthy interview on the subject published in the Tokyo Shimbun (in Japanese; pictured left and below). Outside of Japan he was interviewed regarding his views on the subject on South Korean radio (audio in English; 16:16 minute MP3), by the Vietnamese newspaper vnExpress (in Vietnamese; read Google translation), and the Austrian newspaper Der Standard (in German; read Google translation).
Professor Martin will be traveling to Osaka in Japan in August, to teach a course on constitutional law and conduct research, and expects to continue being active as the debate continues to unfold.

Professor Martin shared additional insights on the debate over "reinterpretation" of Japan's constitution in, "Reexamining 'Myths' About Japan's Collective Self-Defense Change – What Critics (and the Japanese Public) Do Understand About Japan's Constitutional Reinterpretation," published September 8, 2014 in The Asia-Pacific Journal: Japan Focus. The article was co-authored with Bryce Wakefield, Assistant Professor of Japanese Politics and International Relations at Leiden University.

Cedar Key's former Mayor Eugene "Gene" Hodges was born into a politically connected family, an heir to knowing how to get things done for the island community and district that he represented in the Florida House from 1972 to 1988. His father, Randolph, was a state senator from 1952-62, a Senate President and later a lobbyist.
The son, a lifelong Democrat, made his mark in politics by being smart and likable. He used his quick wit that way a carpenter uses a wood plane–smoothing and finely shaping the final debate.
Home and business owners in the city of Williston can look for some savings on their fire/homeowners' insurance premiums thanks to the efforts of the Williston Fire Department.
City Manager Scott Lippmann announced Tuesday night that the city's ISO rating, the means by which fire protection is graded, was lowered from six to five. Lippmann added the new evaluation was 4.5 points from being a four, and can be appealed.
What that means is savings to the consumer because the better the fire protection, the less premiums are.
When told he had only five weeks to live, Rodger Howell, 63, sold everything he had and took to the open road with two horses and a dog. His goal: to live every day as if it were his last, visit family and friends and see America.
That was a year ago, and this week Howell passed through Williston on his quest to reach Niagara Falls by Christmas.
A former Tennessee police chief, Howell drives his buggy four days a week and rests three, plus he never travels on Sunday.
He averages 20-25 miles per day and enjoys meeting the people he encounters.
A shooting that left a Williston man dead last Saturday is still under investigation as authorities look to the public for information on who pulled the trigger that killed Leo Rives, 31.
According to the Levy County Sheriff's Office, a 911 call came in around 10:20 p.m. July 5. The caller reported a suspicious vehicle and a possible shooting.
Deputies and officers from the Williston Police Department responded to the scene at the intersection of NE 218 Avenue and NE 35 Street, east of the city.
Longtime Williston resident and city councilman Cal Byrd was named Citizen of the Year by the Junior Woman's Club during the Independence Day celebration last weekend.
The text from the announcement is as follows:
"The Citizen of the Year is a man who has always been around supporting our community in a most steadfast but quiet manner.
"He has never been one to hog the spotlight but now is the time to give this man the very public recognition that he so rightly deserves. Williston's 2014 Citizen of the Year is Cal Byrd.
Earlier this year, perhaps in February, Williston Fire Chief Lamar Stegall and Deputy Chief Danny Wallace noticed some loose panels around the station.
They fixed them, but six weeks later they were loose again and then they noticed buckling.
What has ensued since mid-March is the city's fire and police departments are located on a sink hole and it's critical both departments relocate.
Tuesday night, an hour-long discussion about what needs to be done dominated the regular meeting of the Williston City Council.
An ambulance that was retired from Levy County due to attrition and high mileage is finding a new life in Nigeria.
Earlier this year, the Levy County Department of Public Safety, with approval from the Board of County Commissioners donated a decommissioned ambulance after a request from Missionary Alex Abiola.
Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM) officials remind beachgoers to check the surf conditions at public beaches. Understanding the beach warning flags will help to keep you and your family safe as you enjoy the waters. When red flags are flying, swimming in Florida's coastal waters can be dangerous.
It's not clear whether the free "Bronson Fire Rescue" hats clinched the deal but shortly after being presented with the head gear the Bronson Town Council voted unanimously to elevate Dennis Russell from interim fire chief to fire chief, making his title permanent.
Russell, who took over the interim post in March, has essentially managed the department since the departure of former Fire Chief Jeff DeMaggio.

My recent journey from Cape Town South Africa to Austin Texas may have taken 42 hours – slightly longer than expected – but Delta Airlines gets two thumbs up from this passenger.
Yes there was some absolute chaos after the short 2 hour flight from Cape Town to Johannesburg… Apon arriving in the City of Gold, we were informed that our international flight was to be delayed by 12 hours. After waiting in line for 3 hours we were taken to a nearby hotel and given a free meal as well as the nice accommodation. The only shocker was that after a few hours sleep the front desk rang all the passengers at 3am – saying we needed to get to the airport – hence the above photo taken at 4.26am at Johannesburg international!
Anyway, we made the 17 hour flight to Atlanta, then luckily I was the last standby passenger to get on the evening flight back to Austin.
Then this week – above and beyond Delta Airlines just credited me with 10,000 flight miles for the inconvenience. That – I must say – is sensational work on their side. Thanks Delta you little beautiiiies.

Profile nitrogen testing
By David G. Hallauer
Meadowlark District Extension agent, crops and soils/horticulture
As with phosphorous, potassium and other nutrients, high yields also remove a sizeable nitrogen load. In most cases, there is some level of residual nitrogen left in the soil profile that allows us to attain high yields, even in the absence of higher nitrogen rates. Combine high yields with areas of denitrification this year and testing for profile nitrogen may be in order.
Since nitrogen is a mobile nutrient in the soil profile, nitrate testing requires soil sampling to a 24 inch depth. Shallower depths can be used, but may inaccurately portray soil nitrate levels available for the next crop. Sampling isn't as simple as the zero to six inch sampling method common for P, K, Zn, and others, but can result in excellent nitrogen rate information for the following crop.
Profile nitrogen testing can also be a valuable tool during drought years when the crop doesn't take up a lot of nitrogen. For more information about soil testing, contact your district office.
Pruning shrubs
After an October with some cool, damp weather, November has thus far provided some great weather for outdoor work. One such job you might be considering is pruning back shrubs.
It would probably be best to find something else to work on! Light pruning and/or the removal of dead wood is actually fine this time of year. We can get by with these activities, particularly dead wood removal, at just about any time of the year. Severe pruning, however, should be avoided until spring. Pruning of spring-blooming shrubs should be avoided until even later. Even light pruning, now or in the spring before bloom, will reduce flowers on shrubs like lilac and forsythia. Wait on these spring-bloomers until after flowering.
Shrubs also differ in how severely they can be cut back. Trim junipers lightly since they do not break bud from within the plant. You'll lose shape of those plants if you don't. If juniper shape has gotten away from you, they should be removed.
Certain shrubs can be pruned back severely during the spring. Rejuvenation is the most severe type of pruning and may be used on multi-stem shrubs that have become too large with too many old branches to justify saving the younger canes. All stems are cut back to 3- to 5-inch stubs. This works well for spirea, forsythia, pyracantha, ninebark, Russian almond, little leaf mock orange, shrub roses and flowering quince. As long as you wait until spring, pruning will be very effective.
