According to Walter Haut, Walt Whitmore had "practically kidnapped" Mac Brazel (Pflock)
Chapter 7: Brazels Final Curtain Call
By Timothy Printy Ó 1999 Updated June 2002
On the morning of the 8th (or evening of the 7th), it appears that Walt Whitmore Sr. was on his way to pick up "Mac" Brazel for an exclusive interview. Mac found the debris and Walt was probably upset at Frank Joyce for not getting a scoop before anybody else earlier in the day. Who knows if it was the 7th or the 8th but if it were the 7th, Whitmore would have to have shown up pretty late to miss the exit of Jesse Marcel and Sheridan Cavitt. In any case, Whitmore took poor Brazel back into town. At this point, Brazel had made numerous trips to and from his ranch all over a bunch of debris he had picked up. It did not look like he would be getting his $3000 reward (if he even considered this) and it seemed like he was wasting time.
Brazel was then taken on the 8th to the Roswell Daily Record for an interview. According to pro-crash authors, this interview had been scripted by the military. However, the authors all get the date for the interview WRONG! In UFO Crash at Roswell, Randle and Schmitt say the date is July 9. In the follow-up book, Truth about the UFO crash at Roswell, they get the date right on one page (69) but then proceed to get it wrong again and say it was the 9th on another (208). The Crash at Corona authors are worse and state the interview was on the 10th. This is amazing since the story appeared in the July 9th edition of the Roswell Daily Record! This is the same interview discussed in Chapter two, "Harassed Rancher Who Located Saucer Sorry He Told About it."
Jason Kellahin and R.D. Adair covered the interview. Both tell their versions of the story in The Truth About the UFO Crash at Roswell and both tell (surprise) conflicting stories. According to Adair, he flew into Roswell from El Paso based on orders from New York. He states that he had the pilot fly over the crash site and that there were two sites. Adair states, " We could make out a lot of stuff... looked like burnt places... You could tell that something had been there Apparently the way it cut into [the ground], whatever hit the ground wasn't wood or something soft. It looked like it was metal" (Randle and Schmitt Truth 95). It seems that Adair probably has gotten his memories mixed up because, as I have pointed out by testimony of Jesse Marcel Sr. and Bessie Brazel, there was no gouge in the ground. Adair made several additional claims that seem to be in contradiction with known facts and reports by others:
Adairs recollections are not accurate and are, more than likely, of another event like an airplane crash. Kellahins story is also not in keeping with the facts. According to Kellahin, he and Adair drove down from Albuquerque and then stopped by the Brazel homestead to see the army picking up debris. The army was very cooperative with Kellahin and he recalls see Brazel, his wife and their son at the site. Kellahin describes the debris as follows: "You couldn't have picked it up and identified it. You have to have known [what it was]. It looked more like a kite than anything else" (Randle and Schmitt Truth 94). Kellahin adds that they took photographs of the debris but there are no such photographs on record. He also recollects following Mac and the military back to Roswell, where the interview was conducted. Kellahins memories, like Adairs, are less than accurate and it is highly unlikely that he could have made the detour to the Foster Ranch from Albuquerque and gotten to Roswell in time for the interview. Kellahin may be mixing up his memories with bits and pieces of the story told to him by Brazel. In any case, both mens recollections do not appear to be very accurate.
What happened to Mac during the 7th and 8th is not clear but it appears that he was always in the company of Walt Whitmore Sr. This is mentioned in the Roswell Daily Record article, "Brazel was brought here late yesterday be W. E. Whitmore" (Brookesmith 158). The authors disagree with just about everything in this article because they claim Mac had been taken to RAAF, where he was programmed to tell his story. However, when was Mac given the time for such programming? All of the authors claim that Whitmore picked him up and the earliest this could have been was the evening of the 7th. It is also known that Brazel spent at least two nights with the Whitmores. Walt Jr. told Karl Pflock that he recalled, "...having breakfast with him at least twice" (Pflock 90). This makes the earliest date that he left the Whitmores as the morning of the 10th! Walter Haut confirms the fact that Whitmore had Brazel with him for some time:
...Walt Whitmore had practically kidnapped him (Brazel). Walt was an old, old time newspaperman. You never could quite tell whether everything he was saying was all the truth...I think the rumor was that Walt was moving him from place to place. This was a big...its a much more interesting story when you move a man from place to place...To my knowledge. I did not know he had been on base. (Randle and Schmitt UFO 143)
Confirming Whitmores desire to keep Brazel to himself is Jason Kellahin, who stated, "Whitmore did his best to maneuver Brazel away from the rest of the press" (Pflock 264).
Clearly, there was absolutely no time for the military to explain to Brazel what to say during the interview at the Roswell Daily Record. There are conflicting reports of who brought Mac into the newspaper office. According to Paul McEvoy, the newspapers editor, the military escorted him in. This is in contradiction with the newspaper article (This makes McEvoy part of the conspiracy since he did not make sure the article was correct). However, the time factor comes into play. Brazel states everything like he had been there and describes most of the debris seen in the Fort Worth pictures, which he had not seen at this point. In order to do this, the military would have to produce identical debris to that in the Fort Worth photographs for Mac to examine and agree to describe. We already know that RAAF did not have these reflectors on base. Additionally, Loretta Proctors recollection of Mac describing purple flower tape and Bessie Brazels descriptions of the same type of tape are an identical match to parts of the article. The description is too close to their recollections and, if one removes the extraordinary properties given by Marcel, is very close to Jesses general description of metal foil and small wooden beams. Also, many of the details described by Brazel on the evening of the 8th had already been put out on the newswires that afternoon. Sheriff Wilcox seemed to be quoted in many of these and they confirm details in Brazels tale. Could it be that Wilcox was part of the cover-up as well? Randle and Schmitt explain that young Dee Proctor is not mentioned for protection purposes. Why does Mac endanger his family then? According to the authors they were not even present and did not need to be mentioned. The reason they were mentioned is because Brazel was telling the truth about what he had found.
The only part of the article the authors want to believe is a closing line by Mac, which the investigators claim, is Mac telling everyone not to believe the story he just gave. At the very end of the article, Mac says, " If I find anything else besides a bomb they are going to have a hard time getting me to say anything about it" (Brookesmith 158). What does this mean? The authors determine that Mac is saying he is lying. Nothing could be farther from the truth when one examines the events surrounding the past day and a half. Mac had to go to Roswell, drive back home, and now had to come back to Roswell. Mac normally did not make such long drives and was probably tired. According to Jason Kellahin, Mac was upset because, "He was not happy about the attention he was getting and the people traipsing around the place" (Pflock 263). Bessie claims her father said, "They made one hell of a hullabaloo out of nothing" (Pflock 278). Finally, there is the following quote by the July 9, 1947 edition of the Carlsbad, New Mexico newspaper, Daily-Current Argus, where it says that he "was amazed at the fuss made over his discovery" (Klass UFOs 280). Certainly, Mac was very tired and upset about the whole thing and was sorry he got involved. He just wanted to go back home to his ranch.
However, Whitmore was not through with Brazel. He decided he needed to make a taping of an interview with him. Frank Joyce and Judd Roberts were involved in some way. Apparently, the tape was not very convincing to be broadcast and it was never retained. However, Frank recalls talking to Mac all alone after the interview at the paper. Was this the evening of the 8th? Franks recollections seem to change with the interviewers. In UFO Crash at Roswell, Joyce states, " there were several military officers waiting in the lobby of the station. They didn't say anything and didn't accompany Brazel into the control room" (Randle and Schmitt UFO 133). However, in Crash at Corona, he contradicts himself:
The next significant thing occurred in the evening. I got a call from [Mac] Brazel. He said, "We havent got this story right." I invited him over to the station; he arrived not long after sunset. HE WAS ALONE (my emphasis added), but I had the feeling that we were being watched. (Friedman and Berlinner 76)
Was he alone or did the military escort him? Only Joyce can say for sure. Joyce also adds that Brazel made a reference to little green men by saying, "No, they werent green" (Friedman and Berlinner 77). Amazingly, the term "little green men" was not used to describe aliens in 1947. There are very few references to aliens being the drivers of these "flying discs" at the time. The term "little green men" did not come into the American lexicon until after 1947 (The first recorded incident involving little green men and a UFO was on August 14, 1947 in Villa Santina, Italy by a man named Rapuzzi Jummanis). Karl Pflock states that Joyce was just quoting something Walt Whitmore Sr. said before he died. Walt supposedly told Joyce that the aliens were not green. Frank appears to be mixing up stories and is confusing the issue. Joyces version of events becomes extremely questionable and Pflock doubts this interview even occurred.
At this point, Brazels whereabouts become questionable but it seems that he spent a few days on base. According to Edwin Easley, Mac was in the guesthouse at RAAF for some time. Easley did not elaborate on when or for how long. However, Bill Brazel recently stated, "If I recall correctly, he was released after three days" (Rodden 30). Bill also adds that he was not released until he had received a "head-to-foot army physical" (Berlitz and Moore 85). Bill, who was living in Albuquerque at the time, had read about his father in the paper (although he confuses some details such as mentioning a photo of his dad was in the paper) on July 9th. Bill wanted to go find out what was going on and felt his dad needed his help. So, Bill drove down to the Foster Ranch but found nobody there. It is not until the 15th that Mac shows back up. If one looks at the three days Bill states that Mac was with the military, then Mac did not arrive on RAAF until the weekend. This is a far cry from the story told by the pro-crash advocates, who are convinced that the military held Brazel for almost a week.
With Mac safe at home, we find that Bill went back to Albuquerque. However, Bill returned to the ranch a few months later in November of 1947. While on the ranch, Bill begins looking around for debris left by the crashed saucer. He manages to collect quite a bit of small scraps and describes them as:
Some wooden-like particles I picked up. These were like balsa wood in weight, but a bit darker in color and much harder. You know the thing about wood is that the harder it gets, the heavier it is. Mahogany, for example is quite heavy. This stuff, on the other hand, weighed nothing, yet you couldn't scratch it with your fingernail like ordinary balsa, and you couldn't break it either. It was pliable, but wouldn't break. Of course all I had was a few splinters. It never occurred to me to try to burn it so I don't know if it would burn or not...Something on the order of tinfoil except that this stuff wouldn't tear and was actually a bit darker in color than tinfoil - more like leadfoil, except very thin and extremely lightweight. The odd thing about this foil was that you could wrinkle it and lay it back down and it immediately resumed its original shape. It was quite pliable, yet you couldn't crease or bend it like ordinary metal...Then there was some thread-like material. It looked like silk and there were several pieces of it. It was not large enough to call it string, but yet not so small as sewing thread either. To all appearances it was silk, except that it wasn't silk. Whatever it was, it too was a very strong material. You could take it in two hands and try to snap it, but it wouldn't snap at all. Nor did it have strands or fibers like silk thread would have. This was more like a wire - all one piece or substance. In fact, I suppose it could have been a sort of wire - that thought never occurred to me before. (Berlitz and Moore 87-88)
This was some extraordinary stuff and later authors tried to link his material with modern day equivalents. For instance, Randle and Schmitt wanted Brazel to compare the string to fiber optics. In their book, UFO Crash at Roswell, it does sound like he is describing the wire as such. However, he is only quoted as saying, "Now there's this plastic, fiber optics. It could have been that" (Randle and Schmitt UFO 52). Randle and Schmitt write the rest of the description. It appears that based on this one statement, Randle and Schmitt want it to sound like he shown a light down one end of the wire. Brazel did not state this in earlier interviews and it appears that the authors are trying to lead him into stating this.
Bill kept his little shoebox full of pieces and even showed the neighbors on one occasion. Then nine-year old Sallye Tadolini recalls:
...What Bill showed us was a piece of what I still think was fabric. It was something like aluminum foil, something like satin, something like well-tanned leather in its toughness, yet was not precisely like any of those materials... It was about the thickness of very fine kidskin glove leather and a dull metallic grayish silver, one side slightly darker than the other. I do not remember it having any design or embossing on it...Bill passed it, and we felt of it. I did a lot of sewing, so the feel made a great impression on me. It felt like no fabric I have touched before or since. It was very silky or satiny, with the same texture on both sides. Yet when I crumpled it in my hands the feel was like that you notice when you crumble a leather glove in your hand. When it was released, it sprang back into its original shape, quickly flattening out with no wrinkles I remember some of the others stretching it between their hands and "popping" it but I do not think anyone tried to cut or tear it. (Pflock 285)
Bill then began talking. While in Corona, he seemed to be talking a lot about his little collection and the military heard about it. According to Brazels recollections, a "Captain Armstrong" came out with his group and they asked him to hand over the materials he had in his possession. The problem with Bills story is that there was no Captain Armstrong at RAAF between 1947 and 1949. Despite searches of records, nobody has been able to locate the individual.
Bills story seems to include some exaggerations and faded memories. He even mentions talking to some guy in Alaska telling stories about crashed saucers. However, looking at the general description of the debris, we find that Bill is confirming much of the descriptions by Bessie, Mac, and Jesse Marcel Sr. There were materials that consisted of indestructible wood or wood-like small beams (although nobody explains how they broke into all those pieces), string, and a metal foil that seemed to have exotic properties (although nobody can explain how it was also in many pieces).
The last person to talk about concerning this portion of the Roswell "story" is a man by the name of Tommy Tyree. He started working at the ranch after the incident and had spoken to Mac Brazel many times. At one point, he told people that Mac said it was a Japanese Balloon bomb. However, when Schmitt and Randle showed up for the interview, they state this story changed and he felt Brazel found something unusual. Tyree does not explain any more than that but there is no mention of a huge gouge by Tyree. All Tyree mentions is that one day, he and Brazel saw a piece in a hole but did not bother to pick it up because Brazel did not want to deal with that matter anymore. All Tyree does is confirm that some metal like debris was still sitting around the ranch and that there was no gouge in the earth.
In conclusion, it appears that Mac was not abducted by the military at all and his story was an accurate description of what he had discovered. Mac probably did spend time at RAAF because, after tiring of dealing with a dead story, Whitmore turned him over to the base. The base, not knowing what to do may have put him up in the guesthouse. After the weekend, Mac was driven home by the some of the staff. The doctor, to ensure nothing wrong happened to him, may even have exposed him to a quick check while he was on base. That is just a guess and it appears that Mac was not exposed to any form of conditioning. He may have been told that the materials were part of a top-secret project but nobody really knows. As Bill Brazel gathered his scraps, one can only surmise that he eventually threw them away. There are no facts behind his tale of Captain Armstrong. The military could have come out but this is unlikely considering the debris Bill had found. Amazingly, Bill never kept one scrap hidden for the future. Certainly, he could have done that without the military being aware of it. Sallye Tadolinis story mimics Bill Brazels description from The Roswell Incident. She was nine at the time and it seems that her memories are being contaminated by the descriptions Brazel and Marcel gave over a decade before her affidavit.
The materials were there and nobody denies that something was found on the Foster Ranch. However, what turned out to be the culprit would polarize the debate even more and it would split opinions in many UFOlogical circles.

Last week, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie's administration announced that every medical marijuana purchase will be taxed. State Treasury spokesman Andrew Pratt explained that the state's 7% sales tax will apply to every purchase made at a dispensary by a doctor-recommended medical marijuana patient.
Some dispensaries, including Montclair's Greenleaf Compassion Center, the first collective to get the green light to open in the state, had been holding off on opening their doors until the sales tax issue was settled. Now that Christie's administration has made their plan clear, many medical marijuana advocates and lawmakers are surprised.
Four out of the five primary sponsors of the state's medical marijuana bill say they were never consulted about their intent regarding taxing the drug. State Assemblyman Reed Gusciora spent five years gathering support for the bill before it was enacted in 2010 said that he was never consulted and that taxing marijuana was never the goal.
"If you use medical marijuana as a pharmaceutical, then you shouldn't be taxed for it… You don't punish a person who's terminally ill and needs the drug," Gusciora explained.
Executive Director of the Coalition for Medical Marijuana-New Jersey Ken Wolski shared Gusciora's sentiments. He told the press, "It's clearly unfair… If you want money from marijuana, you need to legalize it for recreational purposes, not tax people who are sick."
Another sponsor, State Senator Nicholas Scutari, explained that he had been a part of brief, informal discussions about whether medical marijuana would be taxed. Scutari, however, understood that because the bill did not specifically grant a tax exemption for medical marijuana, it was likely that a sales tax would be imposed.
None of the other primary sponsors of the bill remember being consulted about the sales tax, but that isn't stopping the Christie administration from claiming that taxation was part of the deal all along. Christie spokesman Michael Drewniak told the press, "It's been made clear to us by that sponsors that they intended that."
So far, 318 patients in New Jersey have been approved to use medical marijuana. 138 more are currently going through the screening and application process.

I am looking up both Warbonnet and Hennessy Hammocks here on Bpl. There is a lot of mention of Warbonnet in the forums, including a few reviews. BPL, on the other hand has a lot of reviews, articles and staff picks, mostly on Hennesy, a couple others, but not a mention that I can find on Warbonnet. What am I missing ?
Josh has one. They seem real popular with those on the east side of the country. I've seen a couple.
I meant to say that BPL staff members have not reviewed or talked about this hammock, whereas there is a lot about Hennessy.
There may not be many hammock reviews here on bpl, but many on hammock forums.net. Warbonnet has it's own sub-forum in the vendor section. The WBBB was my favorite GE hammock until I came back to ground.
Edited by BER on 10/19/2010 22:51:12 MDT.
BackpackGearTest has several reviews.
Katharina,I should do a complete "reader review", but I've just never gotten around to it.I've owned both the HH ULB and the WBBB (actually 2 of each), and I sold the HH's after using the WBBB. In my opinion the WBBB is far superior because: it's lighter, it has a side entry, storage shelf, and it has a far superior tarp (even though you have to buy it separately with the WBBB, I still would want a better tarp than the one that came with my HH ULB's).As one experienced hanger said to me, "The HH is a very nice hammock to start with, but once you know what you want, you'll find it in a WBBB."
If you compare the two hammocks that are capable of carrying the same load, the Hennessy Hyperlight is lighter than the equivalent Warbonnet and this is BPL after all. Somebody at Hammock Forums claimed that since both hammocks are made of similar materials, they actually are capable of holding the same weight, but that's not correct. The method of assembly makes a difference. You have to accept the manufacturer's rating.If you buy the tarp that converts to a rain cape, the Hennessy gets a lot lighter because the dual use eliminates some rain gear. I find the Hennessy snake skins very convenient. I've had to setup in the rain and they enabled me to have a dry hammock without any trouble.I'm not sure what the big deal with the side entry is. Frankly, I prefer the stability of the bottom entry, but Hennessy offers a side zipper option on most models now for those who want it.
haha thats a laugh, calling the Hyperlight and the Blackbird "equivalent"for one thing - of course the HH is lighter, its 25% smaller"You have to accept the manufacturer's rating."no, i dont.
those ratings are way more cover your ars then they are failure limits. Construction of gather end hammocks has little to do with the strength of the hammock. Folded, channel (when sewn right), wiped, all are relying on the strength of bunched fabric so the difference in strength of each method is minimal, with channel being different since it is the thread that bears the weight not the fabric, or really the thread that holds the fabric together allowing it to bear weight.I am 300# and can use a single layer 1.9oz hammock with great comfort and little worry of failure. No manufacturer out there will rate a single layer at 300#, 240-260 is what i have seen. When i start making hammocks i won't be rating my single 1.9 at 300# either but the point is the rating is going to be conservative to cover that ars.-Tim
"You have to accept the manufacturer's rating."no, i dont.Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that you personally have to accept those ratings when you use a product. I meant it's what the law will make you accept should you seek redress for failure of a product. In any event, I think it reasonable to use the numbers that the manufacturer is willing to accept responsibility for when comparing products rather than what some individuals are willing to risk when using the product.Regarding equivalence:Perhaps equivalence is a bad choice of words. If you need the extra space, or simply find it offers some utility for you, then feel free to to say you prefer the BB because the Hennessy is too small for you. For me, I have no more need for the larger BB than I would for a two man tent when I'm hiking alone. It is simply extra weight. So both hammocks offer me equivalent utility and one is lighter.

keith, im just givin ya a poke in the ribs. i had a HH ulba and like it a lot, specially after my zipper mod. i just think the size of the hyperlight is too tight even for me, so i got the super roomy BB. i own 3, in fact. :)
Love my Warbonnet Blackbird! I should post a review. I got to the point where I couldn't tolerate the rocks & roots anymore. So, after much research I settled on the most comfortable nights sleep I could find. I found it in the Blackbird. What about the weght? Who cares! This hammock makes me able to carry twice as much the next day. So, thanks to being a long time member of this forum, I save weight on everything else and enjoy my sleep.

"If you compare the two hammocks that are capable of carrying the same load, the Hennessy Hyperlight is lighter than the equivalent Warbonnet and this is BPL after all."This was in response to my comment that the WBBB is lighter. Technically, the WBBB does weigh a fraction more. In the interest of getting the facts right:- the HHULB (rated for 200lbs) is 1lb 15oz;- the WBBB 1.1 (rated for 185lbs) is .5 oz heavier;- the WBBB 1.7 (rated for 240lbs) is 5.5 oz heavier.BUT, the HHULB is smaller inside, and the tarp provides much less coverage. And once you upgrade the HH tarp (which I think is necessary if you expect any rain heavier than a drizzle), the WBBB IS lighter.I've owned 2 HHULB and 2 WBBB, and comparing them side by side I like the WBBB better - just an opinion. But the fact is that the WBBB wins on the weight/feature ratio (I guess that is opinion also, depending on what features you find valuable).
"- the HHULB (rated for 200lbs) is 1lb 15oz;"The Ultralight backpacker is not the lightest Hennessy model. That would be the HH Hyper-light backpacker which weighs 1 lb. 10 oz. Also rated for 200 lb.I've had it in some downpours, like last weekend in the WV Cranberry wilderness when it rained hard, hailed and rained some more. The hammock stayed bone dry inside. Small as that asym tarp is, when it's properly set, the rain would have to be blowing sideways or up even to get into the hammock. I don't see that happening in the forest unless you're imprudent enough to hang on a ridge or at the very edge of the woods.Anyway, I've enjoyed reading the praises of the BB. If I've learned anything from these forums, its that there sure isn't just one way to enjoy backpacking. Happy hiking.
You're right - I was thinking the ULB was the lightest (forgot about the Hyperlight).And you're also right about: "If I've learned anything from these forums, its that there sure isn't just one way to enjoy backpacking."
WBBB is way more comfortable! I have both.
I know this is an old thread and I don't get on here much, but i'll comment anyway.HH lists the hyperlight as 26oz. The single 1.1 blackbird with line/strap suspension is 20 oz plus my asym-diamond fly (7.5)puts it at 27.5ozSo it looks like the HH is 1.5 oz lighter...that's what HH wants you to think...BUT if you read their hammocks catalogue page, you will see that since their tree straps are "complimentary" they aren't included in the listed weight. They're just trying to make all their stuff "appear" lighter than it actually is (IMO). HH doesn't even list the weight of their straps anywhere on their website as far as i can tell, so a customer couldn't even calculate the actual weight if they wanted to. (aside from buying it and weighing it)....shady yes, lighter no.i'm guessing their straps weigh at least a couple oz, perhaps they're trying to keep it a secret, i don't know. My guess is that the Hyperlight and it's "complimentary" straps weigh at least as much if not a hair more than my setup. It's probably fair to assume they are very very close in weight even though the BB is good up to 6'6" (i've got a happy 6'8" customer), while the hyperlight is rated to nowhere near that, so if you want extra head/foot room at no weight penalty over the hyperlight, consider the BB.As far as weight limits go, i try to post my weight limits as to what someone will find comfortable. The single layer 1.1 will hold a 600# individual, but i'm not going to rate it at 600#. A 200# individual will experience the same stretch factors in both hammocks (both are 30d ripstop nylon and will have very similar stretch characteristics). If someone is at the upper limit of the hyperlight and finds it comfortable, they will find the single 1.1 Blackbird will support them just as well.
+1 for the Warbonnet. Been sleeping in it for years. Gave up the Hennessy and NEVER looked back!-------M
I'm not sure why the WBBB is not reviewed by BPL. The only reason I can come up with is that they consider any solo shelter over a pound, "heavy". Thats fine, however I would argue that the WBBB meets the second criteria of BPL, "Be More". It allows me to be more of a hiker, allowing me the energy the next day to hike more, travel more, and have more fun. IMHO.
Plus the HH have been out for 12 years. Not true for Brandon at WB. Plus the HH is a full system. Easier to review. Without getting into netting/no netting, which tarp. etc..And besides Carol Crocker, I think hammocks are still a black art to those at BPL.

UCI clears Astana to ride Tour… of Luxembourg
Now they just need to get clearance for Dauphine Libere, Tour de Suisse and the TdF
Previous News
Next News
The immediate future of the seemingly cash-strapped Astana cycling team has been secured for at least one more race, but the situation over the team's finances seems to be far from resolved.
The team's backers the Kazakh Cycling Federation provided the necessary guarantees through it's financial backers to satisfy cycle sport's governing body the Union Cycliste International (UCI) who cleared Astana to ride the Tour of Luxembourg which started today (Wednesday). Astana rider Gregory Rast duly celebrated still having a job by winning the prologue – his teammates Assan Bazayev and Andreas Kloden came 4th and 6th repectively.
However, the UCI clearance is only for one race and, their spokesman Enrico Carpani, told the Associated Press news agency, the organisation will continue to monitor the situation closely.
While the UCI would not want to suspend the team currently eighth in the world rankings and with two legendary Tour winners, Lance Armstrong and Alberto Contador in its ranks, the history of opaque, complex or simply not there team financing of cycling teams often leading to unpaid riders and support staff forced it to impose the system of financial guarantees that a team has to provide in order to get a ProTour licence. While Astana's most famous rider, Armstrong, does not draw a salary from the team the word is that those that do have not been receiving regular payments.
During the Giro all but one of Astana's riders (Andrey Zeits – the lone Kazakh on the squad) took to wearing a team strip with the names of non-paying sponsors faded out.
As we've noted before, the Kazakh economy which relies on the export of minerals and other raw materials has been badly hit by the world economic downturn leading to a significant drop in income for the state holding company which supports the Kazakh Cycling Federation. Even if, as seems likely, they manage to limp along until the Tour de France it seems highly unlikely that their support will continue into next season or that they would be in a position to provide the necessary guarantees. Given the nature of the world wide recession Kazakh finances are unlikely to suddenly improve any time soon.
The nightmare scenario for the team, it's fans and the world media is that Astana manages to limp along for most of June, they plan to race the Dauphine Libere and the Tour de Suisse but then falls over just before the Tour leaving no time to put alternative financing in place.
Bruno might think this 'so two souzand und six' but I can reveal the new Astana team car, funded by exporting superior potassium.

Christopher Heine | May 16, 2012 | Comments
Deals space still looks up for grabs.
While Facebook Offers has been available to brands nationwide for less than two weeks, marketers are already assessing how the free-to-use deals platform might compete against Groupon.
Chris Awad, a director for New York-based local marketing start-up eBoxed, says Facebook Offers will be attractive to SMBs that want low-risk social commerce opportunities. He's run a handful of Facebook Offers for restaurant and day spa clients in recent weeks. The results, he said, have been fairly encouraging so far.
"[It's] very easy to see that Groupon will have to come up with something strategic to combat Facebook Offers," Awad said. "For now, Facebook seems like the easy go-to option."
Kip Cassino, executive VP at local markets research firm Borrell Associates, believes Facebook will eventually pivot and make retailers pay to run Offers. "I think they will charge merchants," he said. "It doesn't make natural sense [otherwise]."
Facebook is hardly the only powerful player treading on Groupon's turf. For instance, there's major credit firm American Express, which is running "Link > Like > Love" deals via Facebook, Foursquare, and Twitter. The credit giant has promoted the program in its broadcast TV commercials during recent weeks.
Janice Diner, CEO of Horizon Studios and a ClickZ social commerce columnist, pointed to how Amex might implement its deals offering into its mobile app. As smart phones and other mobile devices continue to proliferate, deals-on-the-go could help determine which firms win out, she suggested.
"It will be interesting to see how Amex integrates the new local 'My Offer' [feature] in its mobile app," Diner commented.
Deals Competition Heightens
For Groupon, the deals space's leader with more than 150 million subscribers, the competition has gone beyond second-place LivingSocial and is getting fiercer. While the deals space entails hundreds of brands, the greatest challenge could come from Facebook.
The Menlo Park, CA-based company, for the time being, appears committed to letting merchants use its Facebook Offers for free, under the idea that enough of them will buy ads to further distribute the deals on the social site, effectively monetizing the feature. At no cost, the Offers can be rolled through the news feeds of brand fans at the same frequency as regular posts. Conversely, Groupon and other deals players like LivingSocial and Google Offers take up to 50 percent of the sales cut when consumers redeem vouchers.
At the same time, things seems to be looking up for the sometimes beleaguered Groupon. On Monday, the Chicago-based company announced $559 million in Q1 2012 revenue, up 89 percent compared to the same period last year.
Regardless of whether Groupon or another player like Facebook prevails, it appears there will be a ton of cash at stake going forward. Researcher BIA Kelsey estimates consumer sales will reach a $4.2 billion for the deals niche by 2015. And Borrell Associates forecasts online deals - when taking into account consumer sales and the money spent on promoting the offers - will reach $14 billion this year.
Cassino from Borrell Associates said he's not sure if any of the existing deals platforms will still be viable in three to five years because of a disruptive technology climate.
"The whole thing is evolving," he said. "I think what we will probably see in a few years will look completely different."

Evenski notes that the company remains committed to providing filmmakers a wide range of products. "Filmmakers continue to shoot film, and express a strong desire to have a creative choice for telling stories," Evenski said. "So much of the history of Hollywood and its movies is recorded on KODAK Film. We expect that to continue well into the future."
Productions on the horizon to be shot on Kodak motion picture film also include Star Trek into Darkness, Man of Steel, The Lone Ranger, Sundance-winner Fruitvale Station, The Butler, Noah, Robopocalypse, Cinderella and the remaining three Hunger Games installments, among many others.

Message from the Minister
I am pleased to provide Canadians with the Government of Canada's Annual Report on the administration of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA 1999), for the reporting period April 2001 to March 2002. The goal of the Act, which came into force on March 31, 2000, is to contribute to sustainable development through pollution prevention, and to protect the environment, human life and health from the risks associated with toxic substances, pollutants, and wastes. This reporting period's achievements underscore the value and effectiveness of CEPA 1999 in helping Environment Canada meet its environmental and human health commitments, and I am pleased to share these achievements with you.
In 2000-2001, the first year of implementing CEPA 1999, Environment Canada demonstrated early successes, such as international actions and the completion of a long-term agenda for cleaner vehicles and fuels. During that period, the Department's attention was focused on laying the foundation for the future, by putting in place the policies and guidelines that would enable us to access the full range of CEPA 1999 tools.
This second year of implementation, 2001-2002, clearly demonstrated that we are meeting our environmental protection goals, and that CEPA 1999 is a powerful law for use in the attainment of those goals. The report illustrates the progress we have made in meeting CEPA 1999's new requirements and timelines for assessing the risk of substances in Canada. Extensive research and monitoring studies continued to address departmental priorities, such as endocrine-disrupting substances and air quality. Environment Canada is well on its way to categorizing all 23 000 substances in Canadian commerce. In fact, this year we published ecological data for 12 000 of those substances.
The report highlights the many measures we have taken to manage toxic substances and other substances of concern. Some of CEPA 1999's new tools were used for the first time during this reporting period, including environmental protection alternative measures for enforcement. I am pleased to advise you that during the 2001-2002 reporting period, five regulations were proposed in the Canada Gazette, Part I; five were finalized and published in the Canada Gazette, Part II; and nine others were in earlier stages of development.
This report also emphasizes the importance of collaboration with other countries, all government jurisdictions, industry and non-governmental organizations. We have made significant progress toward meeting our commitments under the Ozone Annex to the Canada-United States Air Quality Agreement, and partnerships in the scientific community allow us to pool our resources and advance our research agenda. The federal government and the provinces have joined together in implementing Canada-wide Standards that will improve the quality of our air and protect Canadians from toxic substances. Through commitments made by industry, the implementation of voluntary approaches - such as environmental performance agreements as alternatives to regulation - will bring efficient and significant environmental results.
For further information on actions being taken under CEPA 1999, and to find ways to become part of the solution, I encourage all Canadians to consult the CEPA Environmental Registry on Environment Canada's Web site.
The Honourable David Anderson, M.P., P.C.
Minister of the Environment

'America Never Came': Tiananmen Student Leaders on Massacre 25 Years Ago, Abuses Today
"If China remains a dictatorship it could be even more bloody than the 20th century," warns one of Tiananmen's most wanted.
May 30, 2014 - 6:17 pm
WASHINGTON — Leaders of the Tiananmen Square protest movement 25 years ago told members of Congress today they were crushed that America didn't step in to help back then, but they're more troubled about what the U.S. government isn't doing as human rights abuses in China increase to a rate not seen since that era.
No Democrats showed up on the dais for the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Africa, Global Health, Global Human Rights, and International Organizations hearing, at which Chairman Chris Smith (R-N.J.) raised a range of concerns including persecution of anyone who tries to mark the massacre in China, the "mass extermination of girls" through the one-child policy, and unabated forced abortions.
Beijing, he noted, has gone to "astounding lengths to erase the memory of the Tiananmen demonstration."
"We still have no account by the government of those who died, those who disappeared, those who were arrested, those who were executed," Smith said. "China lost an idealistic generation of future leaders."
The Tiananmen protest leaders, including the quintet sitting at the witness table, are among "the best and the greatest and the most courageous the world has ever seen."
But China is in the midst of a "severe crackdown," the congressman noted, with 2013 being the worst year since the 1990s in terms of the arrest of dissidents.
"It remains the torture capital of the world," Smith said.
Rep. Randy Weber (R-Texas) declared that the communist regime "must not be allowed to last."
"The spirit of courage and freedom will outlast steel tanks and cowardice," he said in reference to the People's Liberation Army tanks that mowed down student demonstrators in the square.
Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-Calif.), once a speechwriter for President Reagan, maintained that "had he been president of the United States when this happened, this would be a different world and China would be a different place."
Rohrabacher called it a "disgrace" that the administration of George H.W. Bush "did not make the leadership of the Communist Party pay."
"Today there would not only be democracy in China but the world would be a safer, more peaceful place," he said.
Major Yan Xiong was dubbed one of the "most wanted" student leaders after the Tiananmen protests. He recalled rushing toward the square after hearing that troops had marched into the Forbidden City; he ran into walls of people forming human chains, trying to keep their countrymen away from the slaughter. Xiong got through and witnessed "horrific" scenes.
"Soldiers with helmets and AK-47s were randomly shooting at protesters as they chanted slogans and tried to hold their ground. My friend and I crept forward, the sound of bullets, shooting, crying, and tanks blended together," he told the committee.
Xiong found a phone booth, called his wife and asked her to go to the Beijing University radio station to "tell the truth" about the massacre unfolding. "I continued to relay new information to the radio station until the early hours of morning."
He was captured after ending up on the most-wanted list and spent nearly two years in prison before coming to the U.S. in 1992 — just in time for his first Fourth of July.
"I saw then the meaning of freedom – the freedom of expression, freedom of religion, and freedom from fear that all Americans enjoy. Since the time of my baptism as a Christian, I also found the freedom that knowing God provides," Xiong said. "As a commissioned officer in the United States Army I serve to protect these freedoms. As an Army Chaplain my job is to assist my commander to ensure that all members of the Army family receive the religious support they need to freely exercise their faith, according to the Constitution."
Xiong beamed when he spoke about his love for his adopted country and for the Army. "I'm so proud to be a U.S. citizen, to serve my country 20 years now," he said, adding that "the real Creator is not the Communist Party; it is the Creator of the people."
Zhou Fengsuo, co-founder of the rights group Humanitarian China, called it "the greatest honor of my life that Chinese government … designated me as No. 5 on the list."
"I did not deserve that honor, for there are many others that worked harder and fought more bravely," he added. Zhou was responsible for building networks that provided medical support to the protesters in the square, and was among the last students to leave.

Posts Tagged 'Representative Linda Sanchez'
Proposed Legislation To Expand Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) Coverage to Home Health Care and Domestic Services Workers
California representative Linda Sanchez has introduced legislation that would expand overtime protections of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) to home care workers providing health care and domestic services to the elderly and disabled. For 35 years, home care workers have been exempt from FLSA overtime protections, which requires overtime in the amount of time-and-a-half of the hourly rate to non-exempt workers for time worked over 40 hours in a week.
Rep. Sanchez says the new protections are needed to attract more home care workers to the field in light of the increasing demand for their services. The number of Americans who need long-term care is expected to reach 27 million by the year 2050—over double the number in 2000—as more Americans age and prefer to be cared for in their own homes instead of more-expensive nursing homes.
Call your member of Congress to offer your support for this legislation.

Trib Talk live chat replay: Why do Hispanics have harder time getting mortgages?
Published August 13, 2013 11:01 am
This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2013, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
The American dream of owning a home appears to be harder to achieve for many Hispanics living in Salt Lake County. A new study shows 27 percent of Hispanics applying for a home mortgage were denied a loan; for whites, the rejection rate was 14 percent. The gap remains even for Hispanics in the highest income brackets. Hispanics also account for nearly 23 percent of high-interest loans. Why the disparities?
Trib Talk's Jennifer Napier-Pearce spoke with reporter Paul Beebe, the University of Utah's James Wood and Realtor Fredy Martinez about the study and what it will take to improve the odds for prospective Hispanic home buyers. Watch the replay above.

Star Entertainment
Twins demand that Mavado pay respect... Claim their concepts are used in his songs, but no credit given
CURTIS CAMPBELL, STAR Writer
Dancehall duo Twin of Twins have released a statement accusing fellow dancehall act Mavado of using their material without giving them props.
The Twins also said the We The Best/Young Money Records artiste is disloyal and needs to make amends with his former friends Flexx and Kibaki in order to reclaim his dominance in dancehall.
Twin of Twins claim that Mavado has been making songs borrowing concepts from their Stir It Up series without giving them any credit for conceptualising the ideas.
"Mavado always a plagiarise and a pirate Twin of Twins material and doesn't give any kind of respect, but him deh behind close doors a slander wi and a deal wid wi wicked. I am saying how is it worthy to use our material, but not worthy to acknowledge wi," Twin of Twins said.
The duo is of the view that Mavado's single Dem Alone was inspired by their line in Stir It Up Volume 6, which specifically said, "Nuff a dem nuh like wi but a dem lonely because a dem alone''. The line was used as a part of their Bogle tribute impersonation material following his tragic death in 2005.
They also singled out Mavado's 'not on my team' catch phrase on his single House Cleaning among others, which they claimed were inspired by their work.
The duo also made it clear that they don't have a personal issue with Mavado. They also expressed disappointment in the artiste for making disparaging comments about Bounty Killer and alienating Flex and Kibaki since achieving international success.
"Him sey money nuh change him but that is far from the truth. A Bob Marley sey it best, nobody nuh really change, it just tek money fi yu really see a who dem because deh bredda deh worse dan a cambio when it come to change ... A Flexx and dem man deh a carry dem from nothing."
"Kibaki dem carry him through the worse of time and dem man deh lock the door as dem feel like sey dem reach the top. Yu cyah live suh, yu a deal wid Killer wicked and a the clout wey Killer put pon yu name make yu who yu are today, and mi nuh fraid fi tell yu dat youth ... yu switch," Twin of Twins said.
The duo also told THE WEEKEND STAR that other artistes have used their ideas and are just as inconsiderate as Mavado. They also disclosed that since releasing the statement about their issue, they haven't heard from Mavado personally, but were told that he has been making more disparaging comments.
"This is not only about Mavado. It's about all these people we do so much for, either by directly helping their careers by including them in our material or by just being the creator of the material they pirate to keep themselves going. Then these same people find it hard to acknowledge us for it and can even turn around and hate us to the point where they refuse to work the same shows with us, deliberately stopping our income when we do so much to add to theirs."
They are currently in the United States where they are negotiating a deal with MTV for an upcoming project. They are also promoting a new social commentary dancehall single called Tessanne Tell Dem.
"We nah look nuh hype off a Mavado, wi career hot enough. Wi just a seh nuh man nuh fi deh behind closed doors a fight di ting den waan used wi style, wah can guh suh? Dah year yah name128# send on mi credit," the duo told THE WEEKEND STAR.
Attempts to get a comment from Mavado's camp proved futile, as emails sent to the artiste's manager went unanswered.

Last month I wrote about saving money by shopping for second-hand clothes. Today, in a nearby business park, our neighborhood used-clothing shop had a warehouse sale. Everything was a buck (except coats, which were two bucks). Better yet, there was an all-you-can-stuff bin — for $2, you could fill a garbage bag with all sorts of less-than-desirable clothes.
I bought a nice shirt and a nice pair of slacks for $1 a piece. I also filled a $2 bag, including a nice pair of denim pants in just my size. (Most of the all-you-can-stuff clothes are substandard, though: ugly or damaged. I will use these for lounging around the house or for working in the yard.)
Not bad for $4 and half an hour.
