Tokyo, Japan, 2016/06/17 - Dentsu, Inc. announced that its global business headquarters Dentsu Aegis Network Ltd has reached an agreement with the principal shareholders of Magnetix A/S to acquire the company - Magnetix.dk / Dentsu.co.jp. Tokyo: 4324
Dentsu, Inc. (President & CEO: Tadashi Ishii; Head Office: Tokyo; Capital: 74,609.81 million yen) announced today that its global business headquarters Dentsu Aegis Network Ltd has reached an agreement with the principal shareholders of Magnetix A/S (Founder and CEO: Martin Bochineck; Head Office: Copenhagen; hereinafter "Magnetix"), a leading digital agency in Denmark, to acquire the company. The completion of this acquisition is subject to regulatory approval.
The purpose of the acquisition is to strengthen and expand the capabilities provided in the digital and CRM domains by Isobar*, one of the Dentsu Group's nine global network brands. After the acquisition has been completed, Isobar will become the number one agency in the Nordics.

Magnetix counts among its clients major companies in Denmark as well as multinational blue-chip corporations from a variety of industries. Rated Denmark's number one digital agency for brand position and brand strength in 2014 and 2015, the digital and direct marketing solutions it provides are highly regarded by its clients.
Post-acquisition, Magnetix (magnetix.dk) will become part of the Isobar network and will be rebranded "Magnetix - Linked by Isobar." In collaboration with other Group agencies in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden, the newly formed company will work to create synergies and accelerate the Group's growth strategy for the Nordic region.

The Nazis had a perversely high regard for the arts. As early as 1933, Adolf Hitler's goons began a campaign against modern art, closing art schools, expelling modernist art teachers from German universities, and arresting and incarcerating scores of artists. Hitler, after all, was a failed artist who, as a young man, had been denied entry to the prestigious Royal Academy in Vienna--and he was going to get even for that slight.
By the mid-1930s, the Nazis were confiscating art from German museums, galleries, collectors and artists. Then, beginning in 1937, a major exhibit called Entartete Kunst (Degenerate Art), which featured the seized pieces, was presented in Munich and later in Berlin and attracted more than three million visitors. The intention of the show was to ridicule the pieces and to view them as "un-German."
That fateful show is partially re-created in a chilling exhibit now at the Singer Gallery. Left/Right: The Nazi Attack on Modern Art and Its Aftermath is one of the most intelligent and beautiful shows in memory. It should not be missed by anyone even vaguely interested in art--or, for that matter, world history.
Organized by highly regarded art consultant and curator Francine Haber, the Singer show uses scores of prints, paintings and drawings to explore the Nazi campaign against the modernists. The many rare and valuable artworks in this cogent survey were borrowed from a variety of sources, including local collectors Gerda and John Scott, Denver's Herbert Bayer Studio, the Montgomery Gallery of California's Pomona College, and the Denver Art Museum.
Left/Right is the last of three exhibits assembled as part of "The Beautiful and the Banned," a series at the Mizel Family Cultural Arts Center. An exploration of modern photographers oppressed by the Nazis and a traveling show featuring the work of cartoonist Art Speigelman have already been presented as part of the multi-media project, which will continue through May. On April 8, a panel discussion of censorship in contemporary art will be held at the Mizel's Schwayder Theatre. "There are many analogies to Nazi censorship today that range all the way across the political spectrum," notes Haber.
Left/Right begins with a text-panel discussion of the Nazi concept of "entartete kunst." Haber points out that by labeling art as "degenerate," the Nazis were able to create a public mandate for its destruction. "The show the Nazis presented proves that art, to some extent at least, is made by the receivers," she says. "The Nazis were seeing things in the art that's not there."
The first Entartete Kunst artists featured are those associated with the Der Blaue Reiter movement from Bavaria and the Berlin Sezession movement. Both were key to the development of early-twentieth-century German expressionism, the country's chief claim to fame when it comes to modern art. One of the most important early modern artists in Germany was Franz Marc, a Der Blaue Reiter founder whose 1913 woodcut on paper "Geburt der Wolfe (Birth of the Wolf)" incorporates cubism and futurism. The dense composition, all jagged lines and overlapping forms, still looks contemporary today. More simple and traditional, despite its awkwardly stilted sense of perspective, is the 1925 woodcut on paper "Family," a domestic scene by Sezessionist Gerhard Marcks.
Immediately following this small section is a large display featuring photo reproductions of the original Entartete Kunst show. Included is one of the oddest souvenirs imaginable--an original exhibition catalogue safely held in a Plexiglas display case. The catalogue has been promised as a gift to the DAM by its owner, Gerda Scott, who actually attended the show in Berlin.
Opposite the Entartete Kunst display are works by Nordic expressionists and by artists of the Die BrYcke movement, groups that were also significant in the establishment of German expressionism. These artists were often concerned with Nordic romanticism and might not, in that regard, seem to be pointedly anti-Nazi. In fact, Haber points out, because their work invoked a noble German past, they were originally embraced by the regime. Die BrYcke artists were collected by propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels and enjoyed popularity with Nazi youth groups. But they were clearly modernists and were especially open to the influence of non-European sources, especially tribal art--a major Nazi no-no. Not surprisingly, they were eventually declared "degenerate."
The mark of Africa, a popular source for avant-garde art at the beginning of the twentieth century, is clearly evident in the unforgettable "Frauenkopf III (Head of a Woman III)," a gorgeous and totemic 1912 woodcut on paper by Emile Nolde. Using thick black lines against a white paper background, Nolde creates a crude but elegant portrait. Also forsaking subtlety is Ernst Ludwig Kirchner's "Dancer With Raised Skirt," a woodcut on paper from 1909. Whereas Nolde refers to African art, Kirchner looks to Japanese prints for inspiration in this joyous and lyrical piece. (The personal toll of the Nazi campaign against him led Kirchner to commit suicide in 1937.)
Also in the Die BrYcke section is Kathe Kollwitz's marvelous 1923 lithograph "Kopf einer Frau (Head of a Lady)." This traditional figurative work was deemed degenerate simply because Kollwitz was Jewish. Nearby are two prints and a small sculpture by Ernst Barlach, whose work was labeled degenerate because he defended Kollwitz when she was fired from teaching in 1933. The punishment for Barlach's loyalty to his friend and peer was the demolition of his many public sculptures in Germany and the seizing of his studio. His wonderful sense for capturing movement is well expressed by the somewhat prescient "Der Wandernde Tod (Wandering Death)," a 1923 lithograph dominated by a skeleton wearing a cloak and using a walking stick. Though not meant as a commentary on the Nazis--it was created too early--the skeleton does provide an accurate symbol for the Third Reich.
Even artists whose chief goal was capturing the spirit of the modern city managed to tick off the Nazis. In a section devoted to their works, Haber highlights two pieces by George Grosz lent to the Singer by the DAM and never before publicly exhibited. Grosz was a satirist who lampooned German society and was thus an easy Nazi target. In the 1928 ink-on-paper drawing "The City," Grosz places a chubby man walking his small dog on a street crowded with other figures, some represented by their faces only. In the 1934 watercolor "Boy and Girl," he shows a prostitute passing a working man on the sidewalk.
Lyonel Feininger was another artist interested in the city as a subject; however, his intention was not to make social commentary, but to capture the linear beauty of the buildings. In the exquisite little 1911 etching "Sonnenautgand in der Kleinstadt (Sunrise Over a Provincial Town)," Feininger uses various perspectives--a la cubism--to create a scene of a small square surrounded by buildings that look like they might tumble into themselves at any moment.
Though born in America, Feininger spent most of his life in Germany, where he built his art career. Even in the face of the Nazi assault on modern art, he was reluctant to leave his adopted country. But the Nazis had other ideas. Storm troopers were sent to search Feininger's house and seize his paintings; he was officially "accused" of being Jewish; and more than 300 of his works were removed from German museums. Despite having spent more than fifty years in Germany, Feininger returned to the United States in 1937, only months before his work was thrown into the Entartete Kunst exhibition.
Like Feininger, Karl Schmidt-Rotluff used awkward angles suggestive of vertigo in order to capture recognizable images. This distortion of perspective was seen by the Nazis as being akin to deformity and was therefore degenerate. Schmidt-Rotluff's charming "Haus mit Papplo (House With Poplars)," a 1913 woodcut on paper, features a trapezoidal picture of a hillside home partially hidden by the landscape. Like many of the other German expressionists in Left/Right, Schmidt-Rotluff uses black ink against white paper. This same approach, along with a shifting, quasi-cubist sense of three-dimensional space, is seen in Max Pechstein's wonderful 1923 woodcut on paper "Head of a Sailor."
Next up in Haber's exhibit is a small selection of pieces connected with that famous art and architecture school, the Bauhaus. And it's easier to comprehend the reactionary Nazi objection to this kind of work than to the fairly conservative expressionist art featured so far. The Bauhaus artists were abstractionists and were thus further down the modernist road than were the other expressionists. If the Nazis laughed at expressionism, abstraction made them furious. Hitler himself singled out for ridicule such abstract movements as cubism, futurism and dadaism. Wassily Kandinsky, a painting professor at the Bauhaus, was particularly pilloried for his dada excesses. In fact, Kandinsky was not a dadaist, but this was a trifling matter to the non-scholarly Nazis. Kandinsky is represented here by two pieces, most notably "Kleine Weiten (Small Worlds)," an exquisite woodcut on paper from 1922. Made up of a dense tangle of arching and swirling lines, the piece makes it clear why Kandinsky is considered the father of abstract expressionism.
The Bauhaus section also includes the first of many Herbert Bayer pieces in Left/Right. Most of the Bayers show up in the final section of the show, which examines the effect German emigres had on the development of modern art in America. Before we get there, though, Haber shows us a group of Picasso prints, among them both panels of "Sueno y Mentira de Franco (Dream and Lie of Franco)," a pair of etchings from 1937 that anticipate Picasso's famous anti-war masterpiece "Guernica." The Nazis stuck one Picasso in the Entartete Kunst show, while other of his works from German museums were carried off to Switzerland and sold there. (The Nazis might have hated modernism, but they weren't above cashing out important modern paintings for big money.)

In a final section devoted to European emigres, Haber focuses on works that were created in America after the war. By an accident of history, this is where the show incorporates the work of two local artists: Bayer, who spent more than thirty years in Aspen, and Roland Detre, who still lives in Denver. Though viewers may find the inclusion of Bayer old hat--his work is frequently exhibited in town--Haber has taken pains to include several works that have never been exhibited locally. In the 1939 oil on canvas "Clouds Wandering Through Valley," as well as in "Mountain of the Cyclops," another oil from 1954, Bayer melds his Bauhaus approach to abstraction with the newly discovered Colorado landscape.
Left/Right will leave viewers wanting more. But that's not because organizer Haber hasn't covered all the bases. It's because the story being told here is so important, and so relevant to the course of American art, that a small show like this can only begin to scratch the surface.
Left/Right: The Nazi Attack on Modern Art and Its Aftermath, through May 3 at the Singer Gallery, 350 South Dahlia Street, 399-2660.

Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research
Turning the Climate Tide by 2020
The world needs high-speed climate action for an immediate bending-down of the global greenhouse-gas emissions curve, leading experts caution. Aggressive reduction of fossil-fuel usage is the key to averting devastating heat extremes and unmanageable sea level rise, the authors argue in a comment published in the renowned scientific journal Nature this week. In the run-up to the G20 summit of the planet's leading economies, the article sets six milestones for a clean industrial revolution. This call for strong short-term measures complements the longer-term 'carbon law' approach introduced earlier this year by some of the current co-authors, including the Potsdam Institute's Director Hans Joachim Schellnhuber, in the equally eminent journal Science. Thus a full narrative of deep decarbonization emerges. Read More…

Weekend Box Office Report: 'The Conjuring 2' Wards Off 'Warcraft' and 'Now You See Me 2'
The 2016 summer box office hit another speed bump this week as two major releases — a sequel and a potential franchise-starter — opened to disappointing numbers. However, it wasn't all doom and gloom. Despite the poor starts for Warcraft and Now You See Me 2, The Conjuring 2 opened at number one with the kind of debut that proves modestly budgeted horror movies with R ratings still have a place in the blockbuster months.

Sun Valley Gun Club
Rocks Like: Weezer, The Promise Ring, Fountains Of Wayne
Check Out: 'Bitterness/Guilt'
In 2011, Sun Valley Gun Club vocalist/bassist Evan Bailey had written many songs, but had no band with which to realize them the way he wanted. "[Sun Valley] manifested out of the inability of our hardcore band Carry The Torch to find a lead singer," Bailey says. "Our band is '90s alternative rock holding to the lyrical tradition of early 2000's indie rock, with the energy and passion of the '90s punk and hardcore scenes." They will release their first full-length, Into The Valley Sun, this month

"I will continue to seek an agreement to hold an up-or-down vote on his proposal to avoid another debt ceiling debacle."
Washington, D.C. – Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) released the following statement today after Senator McConnell filibustered a bill to give the President the authority to raise the debt ceiling – a bill that Senator McConnell introduced earlier today.
"The Senate should pass Senator McConnell's proposal to give the President the authority to avoid the knock-down, drag-out fight we had over the debt ceiling last year – a fight that caused the first-ever downgrade of this country's credit, and cost our economy billions. Senator McConnell's filibuster prevented us from having this vote today, but I will continue to seek an agreement to hold an up-or-down vote on his proposal to avoid another debt ceiling debacle.
"After leading three hundred and eighty five filibusters in recent years, Senator McConnell took obstruction to new heights by filibustering his own bill. Republicans' obstruction and intransigence turned the last debt ceiling fight into a disaster for the middle-class. We should give American families the security of knowing we will never go through such a harmful ordeal again."

Sam Bush, Jesse Winchester and Magpie Set for The Barns at Wolf Trap, 10/24-26
The Barns at Wolf Trap Welcomes Sam Bush; Jesse Winchester; and Magpie in October 2013. Details below! All Shows at The Barns at Wolf Trap, 1635 Trap Road, Vienna, VA.
Sam Bush
Thursday, October 24, 2013
Often called the "King of Newgrass," Sam Bush is distinguished for his artful mandolin skills and Grammy-winning fusion of bluegrass and rock. Once a child prodigy on the fiddle, he grew to become one of the originators of the newgrass genre-an offshoot of bluegrass that combines jazz, rock, and reggae influences, as well as jam band-style improvisations. Bush has won three Grammy Awards for his collaborative efforts and won the Lifetime Achievement Award for Instrumentalist from the Americana Music Association in 2009. His most recent album, Circles Around Me (2009), peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard bluegrass music chart and was praised as "an excellent collection of material from a practitioner at the top of his game" (PopMatters.com).
Jesse Winchester
Friday, October 25, 2013 at 8 pm
Gifted with a vocal instrument that Rolling Stone called the greatest voice of the 1970s, Memphis native and classic country star Jesse Winchester has been producing hits for more than four decades, including "Yankee Lady" (1970), "Isn't That So" (1972), and "Say What" (1981). His latest release, Love Filling Station (2009), includes a mixture of original compositions and covers in genres spanning from blues and folk to R&B and country. AllMusic.com praised his album as "beautifully crafted, yet never seems overly calculated, as Winchester and his band blend together as if they have been playing this material for years."
Magpie 40th Anniversary
Saturday, October 26, 2013 at 7:30 pm
Through compelling songs that touch on romance, the environment, and the working class, eclectic folk duo Terry Leonino and Greg Artzner continue to find ways to combine Leonino's beautifully subtle voice-able to replicate anything from jazz to blues to folk-with Artzner's versatile array of instruments and vocal harmonies. In 1998 Magpie won the Wammie Award for Traditional Folk Duo of the Year from the Washington Area Music Association. Their recent release, The Civil War: Songs & Stories Untold (2012), consists of battle songs as well as contemporary takes on the effects of war. This Fall they are also releasing a special album that celebrates their 40th anniversary.

THE AFL has cracked down on players using mobile phones on match days as well as demanding to know the identity of people invited into the rooms before games.
It comes a year after an Australian Crime Commission report claimed links of widespread match-fixing and drug-taking across a range of sports.
AFL General Counsel Andrew Dillon yesterday announced a raft of changes, including to its anti-doping code, the appointment of another former Victorian policeman to its now 14-man Integrity Department and a ban on gambling on all Australian Rules competitions by players and officials.
"We are better resourced than we ever before and we are in a better position than we have ever been to manage the risks," Dillon said.
A report by Deloitte in 2011 found annual turnover on AFL betting had topped $900 million and would double within five years.
The AFL stopped short of replicating other sports such as cricket and horse racing by allowing players to keep possession of their phone, although they have been warned they cannot use them from the moment they enter the dressing room until after the final siren.
Jockeys and international and domestic cricketers must hand over their phones before competing.
Dillon warned if players break the new rule, they would not only face serious sanctions, but could also have their phones confiscated at games in the future.
"We don't think (confiscating phones) is necessary, but it is one of those things that if we see it being abused or not complied with, we can change it," Dillon said.
"The rule will be in place and compliance of it will be monitored by the AFL."
Clubs can nominate up 10 officials - including the senior coach - who can use mobiles phones "for official purposes."
That list must be provided to the AFL before matches, with no players allowed to be among the exempt officials.
iPads and laptops can be used, but only for coaching purposes.
The AFL has also moved to monitor supporters and sponsors who attend the dressing rooms before games.
Dillon said the rooms pre-game should be "restricted to players, officials, and properly accredited guests of the clubs."
"The philosophy is that the AFL knows who's accessing (the rooms), so if there are risks, they can be identified and managed," Dillon said.
"That will require a list of people being given to the AFL the day before a game. On the day (of the game) extras can be added if they are signed off by a director, a chairman, a chief executive, a football manager or an integrity officer."
An AFL working party consisting of club representatives, including Richmond chief executive Brendon Gale, Carlton chief executive Greg Swann and North Melbourne director of football Geoff Walsh, worked through the logistics.
Clubs have until tomorrow (Friday) to lodge their response to the new rules, which will take effect this season.
The AFL Players Association and the AFL Coaches Association both supported the changes.
The AFL also yesterday confirmed it had banned injections unless required for medical conditions, as well as announcing it would collect its own samples for "intelligence purposes."
The AFL yesterday appointed Victorian Homicide Squad detective Tony Keane to the role of investigator in the AFL's Integrity Department, a few days after Detective Superintendent Gerard Ryan was named as the league's Special Investigator.

Two more fighters will see their dreams realized this month, as UFC newcomers George Sullivan and Mike Rhodes will both compete for the first time under the bright lights of the Octagon. The bout will take place on the UFC on FOX 10 card, January 25th out of the United Center in Chicago.
Rhodes, a member of the Roufusport MMA camp out of Milwaukee, cut his teeth in the sport via the Resurrection Fighting Alliance (RFA), where he had captured the companies inaugural welterweight championship via a unanimous decision win over Alan Jouban. His one blemish comes from a submission loss to the currently undefeated UFC fighter, Brandon Thatch.
On the other side of the coin, Sullivan has been on an absolute tear as of late, racking up six straight victories in the Cage Fury Fighting Championships (we're apparently running out of names for MMA companies), with four of those victories coming by way of knockout. Sullivan will obviously be looking to extend his win streak to seven, and will more than likely come out swinging. Should be a great addition to the card.
Here's how that card is shaping up:
•Benson Henderson vs. Josh Thomson
•Gabriel Gonzaga vs. Stipe Miocic
•Donald Cerrone vs. Adriano Martins
•Darren Elkins vs. Jeremy Stephens
•Alex Caceres vs. Sergio Pettis
•Yves Jabouin vs. Eddie Wineland
•Chico Camus vs. Yaotzin Meza
•Ramiro Hernandez vs. Hugo Viana
•Daron Cruickshank vs. Mike Rio
•Mike Rhodes vs. George Sullivan

Meet Tom Smith, the Farmer and Businessman Who May Seal Pennsylvania's Transition from Blue to Red
If the Republicans are to re-capture the U.S. Senate in November, they will have to take some seats in blue states. One of the most intriguing pick-up opportunities is in Pennsylvania, where incumbent Democrat Sen. Bob Casey finds himself in a tough fight with a tough man: farmer and businessman Tom Smith.
Tom Smith grew up on a dairy farm in western Pennsylvania's Armstrong County. Dairy farmers get out of bed long before dawn and often work well past sundown. Smith took over the family dairy when he was just 19 years old and his father passed away. While keeping that business thriving, he set about in 1989 to get into the coal-mining business. By the time he sold off his coal interests in 2010, his companies employed more than 100 people.
This hard-working, close-to-the-earth background is one that Smith intends to take to Washington. He has traveled the Keystone State from west to east – he was on a campaign bus between events when I interviewed him – and turned a 20-point deficit in the polls into a true toss-up as Election Day nears. Quinnipiac says that as of October 16 Casey leads by just three points, which is within the margin of error. Smith says his campaign's internal polls show his race and the presidential race tightening, and that Pennsylvania is very much in play. Those same polls show that Romney has a very good chance of being the first Republican presidential candidate since 1988 to capture Pennsylvania's electoral votes.
Added to the polls and the positive trends, Bob Casey's record, says Smith, will haunt him.
"Casey votes with Obama 95% of the time," Smith said. "He voted for the stimulus, he voted for ObamaCare, it just goes on and on. Casey's is a voting record that is going to be very hard to defend to the people of Pennsylvania."
Smith also noted that Casey has contributed to the lack of leadership in the U.S. Senate over the past few years. "I brought forth a plan" for the economy "several weeks ago; my opponent has never come forward with a plan." That, says Smith, is a symptom of a larger problem with Sen. Casey. "The U.S. Senate under Democrat control has not even passed a budget in over three years. The people of Pennsylvania are not happy about that. It's not only not voting on a budget, it's not even coming forward with any plans."
Smith touted his plans, available on his campaign web site, that begin with simplifying the tax code, ending out-of-control federal spending, ending "oppressive regulation that suffocates growth and kills jobs," exploiting more domestic energy sources, and reforming health care and Social Security. His health care reform plan includes allowing interstate insurance competition and tort reform while decreasing mandates and increasing personal health care choices.
"People are concerned bordering on fear for the future for their children and grandchildren," says Smith, on the state of the economy. "People's big concern is the economy and jobs. Deficit spending and national security too." Casey's record, or lack of any record, will be key to beating him.

Keeping the Trading Ideas Flowing
It is one thing to have an opinion on something like tapering, but it is another to come up with a good trade around it. My view is that the Federal Reserve will not announce any tapering at its June 18 and 19 meeting. Importantly, this Friday's payroll report could be a major volatility point -- even more so than usual. Right now, Bloomberg's consensus is +168,000, so even a minor miss to the downside could reverse much of the recent tapering trade. Here are several ideas I'm considering.

Washington, D.C.—Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid released the following statement this afternoon in reaction to President Obama's announcement calling for a bipartisan, bicameral health insurance reform meeting:
"Senate Democrats join with the President in reaffirming our commitment to seeking a bipartisan solution to health reform. We have promoted the pursuit of a bipartisan approach to health reform from day one.
"As we continue our work to fix our broken health care system, Senate Democrats will not relent on our commitment to protecting consumers from insurance company abuses, reducing health care costs, saving Medicare and cutting the deficit."

Here is a famous dessert I love the most. I took the recipe from Naparima Girls' High School cook book. The original needed almonds that I thought would go somewhat bland. I made it with Brazil nuts. I have also replaced walnuts as it's not everyday I come by Brazil nuts. Use which ever you like. I think it would taste better if you use caramelized pecans. The following recipe serves 8 people.
6 ounces butter
1 1/2 cups icing sugar
4 eggs (separated)
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups pineapple slices (diced)
1 cup Brazil nut (chopped)
1 sponge cake, already baked (I use a store bought, lemon sponge, box cake. I think the lemon gives a better flavor than a plain)
2 cups whipped cream
How to Pick Pineapples:
The pineapple comes from the bromeliad family. It is very rare that bromeliads generate some fruit that is safe to eat. The pineapple is the only available edible bromeliad at present. It is a compound fruit. One pineapple is actually made up of a lot of separate flowerets that cultivate together to shape the entire fruit. Each scale on a pineapple is proof of a separate flower. Pineapples end up ripening the moment they are picked. No particular way of storing them will help grow them further. Color is comparatively insignificant in deciding about the ripeness. Pick your pineapple by smell. If it smells fresh, tropical and sweet, it will be a good quality fruit. The more scales on the pineapple, the sweeter and juicier the flavor. After you slice the top, you can plant it. It should breed much like a sweet potato will. This yummy fruit is not just sweet and tropical, it also offers a lot of benefits to our health.
Cut the cake into one inch broad slices.
Cream butter and icing sugar until soft
Include egg yolks one at a time, mixing with a beater after each adding and scraping the sides.
Put in vanilla, pineapple and Brazil nuts.
Beat egg whites until firm but soggy and fold into mixture softly
Put a layer of cake in a dish, then a layer of pineapple-butter batter; go on layering until all the cake and batter are used up, finishing with the pineapple batter.
Cover with foil and freeze for 24 hours.
When you go to use take out and soften for 10 minutes. Decorate with whipped cream, a maraschino cherry and sprig of mint, or candied orange chunks — whatever you like the most.
Variation: drained peaches or ripe mangoes could be replaced for the pineapple if you don't like pine apple.

More of a cream than a lotionThis is a great moisturizer at a great price. It absorbs readily and hydrates my dry skin for most of the day. However, I only apply it first thing in the morning, so that the sour dairy smell is gone before I put on my clothes, and I certainly don't want it on my sheets. My other complaint is that the packaging is all wrong. The lotion is too thick for the pump, so I have to unscrew the top to get to the lotion. St. Ives should repackage this in a tub. — 8 years, 10 months agoteshie | 396 reviews

The end of the concept of "strategic reassurance"?
- By Josh Rogin
Josh Rogin covers national security and foreign policy and writes the daily Web column The Cable. His column appears bi-weekly in the print edition of The Washington Post. He can be reached for comments or tips at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Previously, Josh covered defense and foreign policy as a staff writer for Congressional Quarterly, writing extensively on Iraq, Afghanistan, Guantánamo Bay, U.S.-Asia relations, defense budgeting and appropriations, and the defense lobbying and contracting industries. Prior to that, he covered military modernization, cyber warfare, space, and missile defense for Federal Computer Week Magazine. He has also served as Pentagon Staff Reporter for the Asahi Shimbun, Japan's leading daily newspaper, in its Washington, D.C., bureau, where he reported on U.S.-Japan relations, Chinese military modernization, the North Korean nuclear crisis, and more.
A graduate of George Washington University's Elliott School of International Affairs, Josh lived in Yokohama, Japan, and studied at Tokyo's Sophia University. He speaks conversational Japanese and has reported from the region. He has also worked at the House International Relations Committee, the Embassy of Japan, and the Brookings Institution.
Josh's reporting has been featured on CNN, MSNBC, C-Span, CBS, ABC, NPR, WTOP, and several other outlets. He was a 2008-2009 National Press Foundation's Paul Miller Washington Reporting Fellow, 2009 military reporting fellow with the Knight Center for Specialized Journalism and the 2011 recipient of the InterAction Award for Excellence in International Reporting. He hails from Philadelphia and lives in Washington, D.C.
Multiple sources tell The Cable that the Obama administration will avoid Deputy Secretary of State James Steinberg's idea of "strategic reassurance" with China during the President's trip to Asia next week, as the U.S.-China policy community struggles to sort out the meaning and impact of the concept.
It seems that every Deputy Secretary of State these days should have a catchphrase to sum up the American view of how China's rise should be managed, or more specifically, how the U.S. wants China to act as its rise becomes more and more pronounced.
In 2005, former Deputy Secretary Robert Zoellick announced his idea that China become a "responsible stakeholder," calling for Beijing to become increasingly integrated in international institutions so that they might see it as in their interest act in concert with the international community on a range of issues.
Steinberg, Zoellick's successor, coined his own China paradigm, "strategic reassurance" in a September 24 speech at the Center for a New American Security.
"Strategic reassurance rests on a core, if tacit, bargain. Just as we and our allies must make clear that we are prepared to welcome China's 'arrival'… as a prosperous and successful power, China must reassure the rest of the world that its development and growing global role will not come at the expense of security and well-being of others," Steinberg said, "Bolstering that bargain must be a priority in the U.S.-China relationship. And strategic reassurance must find ways to highlight and reinforce the areas of common interest, while addressing the sources of mistrust directly, whether they be political, military or economic."
Since that day, U.S.-China relationship watchers on both sides of the Pacific have been trying to figure out the impact of Steinberg's speech. Did this signal a softer or tougher line from the Obama administration on pressing China on points of contention? Was "strategic reassurance" meant to replace "responsible stakeholder" as the Obama team's frame on how to think about China?
"It caused a lot of confusion within the China-watching community," said former Pentagon China official Dan Blumenthal, now with the American Enterprise Institute, "It seemed like different administration officials interpreted it differently. Some took it as a new policy on which we remove Chinese-defined irritants and embrace them as a full partner on their terms. Others were talking very soberly about the Chinese need to reassure us about their military intentions."
Steinberg has been traveling to the region and is considered a highly-respected and integral part of the administration's China team.
But inside the administration, there was a feeling that Steinberg had gotten out ahead of the rest of the team by announcing this idea as if it were policy. Several sources told The Cable that Steinberg hadn't cleared his speech either with the National Security Council or down through the State Department's Asia bureaucracy.
"While the speech text was not cleared, the idea had been previously discussed and is still being worked," a White House official told The Cable.
Michael Hammer, spokesman for the National Security Council, said that Steinberg's concept was discussed at the White House and has subsequently come up in discussions between the Chinese and NSC officials. But "we are not going to preview at this point what the President intends to say during his upcoming visit to China," he said.
"I think it remains to be seen whether other parts of the government are going to embrace his concept of strategic reassurance," said Bonnie Glaser, China fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies "This was an instance of Steinberg organizing his speech and then trying to get buy in after the fact. My sense is that the speech was not very well-coordinated, unlike the 'responsible stakeholder' speech that was given by Bob Zoellick."
Michael Green, who was senior director for Asia at the National Security Council during the Bush administration, said Zoellick's China mantra was debated and ultimately approved by the White House at the time.
Green and Glaser both predicted that President Obama won't mention "strategic reassurance" during his trip to Beijing next week or in the joint statement to be issued by him and Chinese President Hu Jintao.
"You probably won't hear as much about it from here on out," said Green.

What do you do when in the space of two short years you've gone from talent show hopefuls to the biggest boyband of a generation? For the four young lads that make up JLS the answer is simple – keep your feet firmly on the ground and keep heading for the stars.
With their aptly-titled second album OUTTA THIS WORLD primed on pop's launch pad and about to rocket their already stellar success to even greater heights – Aston, Marvin, Oritsé and JB are primed and ready to backflip their way into the nation's hearts once more.
Working with a roll call of international pop-R&B production talent - who's collective CVs take in chart juggernauts by the likes of Rihanna, Ne-Yo, Black Eyed Peas and more - the lads have crafted 14 killer tracks ranging from heart-pumping techno-laced stompers to tender acoustic balladry. Simply put, they've taken the blueprint created by their hugely successful debut and blown it out of the water.
"We're still a young band with a lot to prove," says Marvin. "We had to prove ourselves every week on The X Factor, then we had to prove we were proper recording artists with our first album. Now we want to prove that wasn't just a fluke, we're here to stay."
The guys talk excitedly about 'upping their game' and 'evolution' on their new album and they're not wrong. Co-writing all the tracks (bar midsummer chart topper 'The Club Is Alive') the guys display the full range of their talents from the smooth close harmonies of 'Other Side Of The World' (which winningly nods towards 90s soul heroes Babyface and Boyz II Men with the lads sharing lovestruck lead vocals) to kinetic future pop like the take-no-prisoners floor filler 'Superhero'.
Flying to New York to work with red hot chart wizards Stargate (the force behind monster hits for Beyoncé, Flo Rida and more) the union has produced some of the album's most forward-thinking pop nuggets, including the frankly brilliant title track 'Outta This World' - a muscular electro-fuelled heavy hitter that simply screams future single - and band favourite 'Love At War.'
"We were a bit apprehensive meeting Stargate at first - they're used to working with huge megastars and we're not in that league yet," explains Aston. "But it was important for us to prove ourselves. We didn't just want to take beats they'd already worked on, we wanted to start from scratch and make something that really represented where we're at."
One of those tracks is the pumping R&B club stormer 'Work' – in which the lads express their love for the ladies ("we're four young lads and all like different girls. What can I say?" says JB matter of factly) by cheekily name-checking the world's biggest divas including Christina, Rihanna and Lady Gaga. "I think if we're having fun in the studio you can hear that in the tracks, and believe me we always have fun," says Oritsé.
Given their current status as crowned princes of British pop, it's hard to believe how rapid the ascent of JLS has been. It was less than four years ago the lads, all dreaming of their own ways in make it in the music industry, came together thanks to Oritsé's unswerving vision of creating the ultimate boyband.
"When we first got together we wrote a list of over 300 things we wanted to achieve and everytime we met up to rehearse we would go through it and focus on what we would accomplish that week," reveals Oritsé. "We weren't messing around – it was all or nothing."
That combination of raw talent, effortless charm, unfaltering focus, hard graft and just a little bit of luck saw them rapidly ascend from bagging Best Unsigned Act at the Urban Music Awards 2007 to taking their aim at the heart of the mainstream in the country's biggest TV talent marathon the following year. "From the underground to the overground," as Oritsé succinctly puts it.
What followed is, as they say, history – and ticked more than a few boxes on the group's pop phenomenon 'to do' list: Duet with Take That. Make top music industry connections. Sign major label deal. By the time they got to 'Release debut single' and 'Have first number one' in one fell swoop, it's pretty safe to say that JLS had well and truly arrived.
"We knew that first single was really crucial to how people saw us," says Marvin. "Maybe people were expecting a black Westlife or something like that. That's why we came with 'Beat Again' – I think it surprised a few people."
Their success has been staggering. Three UK number one singles. Over 4 times platinum debut album. Two 2009 MOBO Awards. Two 2010 BRIT trophies. All in the first year of their recording careers. For any band that would be astounding. For a band unashamed of the word 'pop' and happy to embrace their boyband credentials, it's unheard of.
"It's been crazy. Earlier this year we were opening for Usher, and I was thinking 'wow his was the first album I ever bought back in the day and now we're on the same stage!'" says Aston. "Just a year before that we were Lemar's opening act. It's moving so fast."
Along the way they've gathered famous supporters from Judi Dench to Jay-Z (his prediction the band would be as big as 'N Sync seems more prophetic every day) and a fanbase that stretches from six to sixty year olds.
"If I had to put my finger on it I think people can see the genuine bond we have between us," says Marvin of the unique connection the band have. "We genuinely are best friends and genuinely love what we do and that's something you can't manufacture. It's real."
And with their new single 'Love You More' the boys have created the kind of universal love letter that's sure to be taken straight to the heart of the masses. If you thought in 'Everybody In Love' the boys had found their signature love ballad, think again. Beginning with a haunting lone piano refrain, 'Love You More' builds and builds to sky-scraping proportions. 'Anthemic' barely does it justice. And what's more, they've decided to give away all their proceeds to this year's Children In Need campaign.
"We didn't think twice about it when the opportunity came up," says JB. "We've all supported different charities since day one - that's why we set up our own JLS Foundation. Just today we spent three hours with ill kids for the Rays of Sunshine charity. It's brilliant to be able to do stuff like that. We've been given an incredible opportunity by the British public and want to give back."
So if you thought a typical day in the life of JLS was all VIP parties, Cristal and girls you'd be wrong. Okay maybe just a little, but these boys are busy. There's the recording sessions, TV appearances, sell out gigs, dance rehearsals, gym training on top of the screaming fans, tabloid rumour mill, paparazzi stakeouts…
"To be honest we try not to think about the fame because then you get above your station," says Aston. "It's best to try not to get sucked into the hype too much. It's about the music and everything else is a bonus."
"The best thing is to feel the public are on your side. After the kind of exposure we had from X Factor, I think people feel they know us and want us to do well," says Marvin. "And that's a great feeling."

It sounded like a union meeting house but really, it's just one of those pubs named after its address.
Pretty simple, really.
And while it's an inviting enough establishment with its brick and banquettes, the decor is just as unpretentious.
There's some animal taxidermy hanging out past the far end of the bar that seemed a little odd, but with all the TV screens glowing full-tilt, it's hardly noticeable.
Local 002's menu appeared equally simple and routine in its pub grubbiness and we weren't really expecting much out of the box.
It was Monday and the deal du jour was a domestic brew with a burger for $10.
I went with half of the deal, a Wild Rose Wraspberry ale ($4) that offered a delightly, vaguely fruity finish.
The Local Salad ($11.13) was our first hint that all was not what the pedestrian-appearing menu seemed to be.
This was a bowl busy with contrasting flavours, from the muted sweetness of green apples to the nuttiness of pecans that were strewn among greens doused with a tangy vinaigrette known on as Local. But of course.
Thrown in with all this were shavings of mild manchego, or sheep cheese.
For an additional $4, we received the prawn treatment for our salad and the little seafood nuggets proved plump and tasty with their garlic infusion.
Our plate of mussels ($15.98) showed up topped with a mass of yam and sweet potato fries drizzled with garlic aioli.
It was an extra that might not be everyone's cup of tea, some of the fries ending up soggy in the intriguingly-described black bean ginger cream sauce.
But to us, they didn't distract and managed to absorb some of the fragrantly delicious sauce, through which we also dragged many of the mussels once liberated from their shells.
The mussels also mingled with shards of carrots and peppers.
Our hosts were clearly serious in breaking the mold.
Lover of Thai food that she is, Mizue couldn't pass up perhaps the most interesting sounding entree, the tavery curry ($16.86).
This was a bowl exuding colour and spicy green chili piquancy bursting from a melange of peas, baby corn, chicken, peppers, mushrooms that was lent some crunch by a liberal sprinkling of cashews.
Mixed with a aromatic cumin seed rice, this was a dish savoured by us both.
One of a few dishes recommended by one of servers was the salmon ($16.83) - another selection that defied expectations.
My fish was blanketed by an Asian slaw of shredded green onions, carrots and other veggies whose flavour was boosted by the always refreshing cilantro.
Beneath it all was a salmon sweetly prepared in a hoisin glaze and as moist as I could have hoped with my medium-rare request.
It was set atop a bed of the robustly-flavourful cumin seed rice of which not a grain remained.
Our hosts - who ensured splendid service throughout - were surprised we were still in the market for dessert, and an order of peanut cheesecake was summoned ($6.01).
The house-made cheesecake slightly drizzled with chocolate was peanutty, rich and a worthy closer.
From almost the moment we'd sat down, we'd been deliciously ambushed.

I far prefer Nosler Partions as a game bullet over any other brand. This doesnt mean others dont work. I must have the worst luck with Remington Cor-Lokt,s. Others swear they are great bullets, deep penatrating and hold togeather well. I have used 4 on mule deer and all but one desintigrated with mere inches of penatration. My findings fall in line with and old adage spoken by more than one proffesional hunter. The adage is "Nothing can be determined as to caliber, bullet weight, or design till a minimum of 30 head of game has been shot with one combination. Only then can useful imformation be obtained". I have not shot 30 head of game with the Cor-Lokt's but I have with Nosler Partions and have never found them wanting. I am sure others have had good luck and vast experence with other brands as well.

- 1¾ cups flour
- ¾ cup self-rising flour
- 1 cup boiling water
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 2 scallions (green onions), washed
- A bit of oil to brush on pancakes
- A bit of salt to sprinkle on pancakes during frying
- Combine the 2 flours in a large bowl. Stir in the oil. Pour in half the boiling water into the flour and begin stirring immediately, then use your hands to combine into a dough. Add the remaining boiling water as needed.
- Cover the dough and let it rest for 2 hours.
- While the dough is resting, wash and dice the spring onions.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead briefly, then cut into thirds and continue kneading until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Roll each of the three sections of dough out into a flat piece approximately 1/2 cm or 1/4 inch thick. (If desired, you can make a thinner pancake, about 1/8-inch thick).
- Brush the pancake with a bit of oil, and sprinkle with spring onion pieces. Roll up the pancake and cut into 7 to 8 pieces. Use the palm of your hand to flatten each piece. Roll out again.
- Heat a bit of oil in a large skillet. Shallow fry the pancakes until both sides are golden brown, being sure to sprinkle with a bit of salt during frying. While cooking, press down on the center with a spatula to make sure the pancake cooks.
- Serve whole or cut into wedges.
- Serve plain or with soy sauce or another dipping sauce if desired.
Kashrut Instructions
INFESTATION: Green onions, also referred to as scallions, have a white base that develops into a bulb. Its long, straight green shoots branch forth from the bulb. Light green or brown thrips may occasionally be found between the green branches where they protrude from the bulb. Less frequently, they can be found on the outside or inside of the long green shoots.
- A vertical cut should be made from the top of the scallion's green shoot to the bottom of the bulb. Examine three scallions from each bunch, paying careful attention to the area between the branches that protrude from the bulb.
- If no insects are found, wash thoroughly under a heavy stream of water or power hose and use.
- If insects are found in a scallion, scallion must be discarded.

text: I'd like to know what about the speeds residents in the Los Angeles, CA area are getting. My UPLOAD speed is around 3mbps while the DOWNLOAD is only 0.22-0.43! I've called several times today and updated my PRL and reset the phone etc. etc. I was told that since a LOT of ppl bought phones over Black Friday and Cyber Monday ... AND since I live in a metropolitan area that the towers are congested. Before I was throttled I'd only checked my speed once using speedtest in September. My Download was 1.5mbps and upload 3mbps. I just prepaid my bill and 0.22 is for 4G service is not acceptable. I remember when I got the service it was really fast probably around 6-8mbps as it didnt take any time to load pages and Netflix full length movies (in HD) streamed in seconds. So, since I can't buy a phone right now and get Straight Talk I'm stuck with a substandard service that is NOT what I paid for. Is there anyone at Metropcs that will listen to customers? What can we do about improving awareness about their false advertising?

Dr. Gonzo takes his last trip: Hunter S. Thompson, dead at age 67
This is the guy who inspired me to get into journalism in the first place. His prose was like condensed napalm blazing from the pages. It was strong stuff. I think I've read almost all his stuff, and I want to get into that which I have missed.
Hunter S. Thompson was recovering from spinal surgery, and the recovery must not have been going well. One could argue that HST had access to any pain meds, legal or illegal, that he wanted, but sometimes pain is absolutely intractable, and worse, it's not taken seriously by a lot of doctors.
If depression had been part of it, I suspect the reelection of George W. Bush might have played a significant role. HST was one of the best chroniclers of Nixon's decline and fall, and it must have galled him that Bush had done things far worse than Nixon and still been reelected. I wish he would have hung on to see how it all played out. Who knows: maybe in 2006 people will be sick and tired enough of the Bush-shit to elect a metric ton of Democrats to the House and Senate, and then it would be time for the mother of all impeachment trials. It would have been great, in that case, if we could hear Dr. Gonzo's take on it all.
In one of my Daria fanfics, I have Daria meeting a certain Dr. Raoul Duke in a Vegas bar and discussing her indecision about her major. I think this sums up why I still write, whether it be in my blog, in Toon Magazine, or in other places.
"Now kid...listen. I know what you are going through. You're not sure whether you want to take the ride and become a journalist. Thing is, being a journalist is like being a shaman. It's thrust upon you by fate. You don't ask to be one. You are and that's it. Most people out there...they don't see the things we do. They can't look at their lives and see just how absurd and fucked up it all is. We can see it. We were born with special eyes and special ears...we see and hear so much and have to write it down on paper.
"You get the call and if you don't answer you are still a journalist whether you study to be one or not. You work a shit job, and you are observing everything around you regardless of what else you are paid to do. Fate's a savage thing. You either take the ride or the ride takes you."
The waitress brought Daria her Coke and limes. Daria took a few chunks and squeezed them into the Coke, stirring the resulting mixture up with her straw.
"I'm not a fatalist, Mr. Duke. I think that we all make choices and we have to live with them. Any other view is superstitious bullshit."
"Trust me. I'm a Doctor of Journalism and I've been doing this crazy shit for almost 40 years. You came out of your mother's womb a journalist and being anything else would betray everything you are. Most native tribes have their shamans. They have to have at least one or the tribe dies. In Western Civilization we have to have journalists or we'd all drown in bullshit. You have to declare a major, otherwise you lose your full scholarship and what you're left with is a king-hell monster student loan you have to repay. That's what you're up against."
"True. But what worth is a degree in journalism, Mr. Duke?...."
"And you think there is a surplus of journalists? Hell, there's a surplus of pretty talking heads. There's a surplus of hacks who grind out copy for tabloids. There's a surplus of people writing fluff pieces for their corporate masters. Journalists, Daria? We're an endangered species. Do you want the assholes to win? Do you want big corporations and power-mad politicians to succeed in fleecing the body politic? If you do, then major in Business or Psychology or whatever the fuck you were thinking about."
"I can't save the world as a journalist, though! That's unrealistic."
"But you can make people aware enough to where they can maybe save themselves."
It's not a real conversation, I never got to meet the man, but it's a measure of how much he has inspired me that I was able to write that prose. Yeah, I changed my major when I went back to College. I wound up following my head rather than my heart. But I still write and I suppose that's partially because of his influence.
I'm sure the reasons for his killing himself will make themselves clear. I don't think a guy like him wouldn't leave this world without one last poison pen letter, targeted at everything he had contempt for. Then again maybe it was just the act of a guy in horrific pain who was failed by his pain meds. Whatever the case...I hope you're free, Dr. Gonzo. I hope you are somewhere that's a measure of home. Peace, dude.

Accurate measurement of core body temperature at the scene of an accident is critical for both diagnosis and treatment/triage decisions for hypothermic patients. Measurement in the lower third of the oesophagus is considered the gold standard of CT reading, but invasive and hardly applicable with a conscious patient. Tympanic membrane sensors for CT reading have been widely tested by may be unreliable in extreme environmental temperatures. Similarly, the Double Sensor device is a non-invasive device and is promising for prehospital use but has not been sufficiently verified under very cold and hot environmental conditions. Furthermore, comparisons of different non-invasive methods with oesophageal measurement in extreme conditions are lacking. The objective of these studies is to compare different techniques of core body temperature measurement with exposure to cold and hot environments.

It all happened in broad day light right under public gaze but the law is yet to catch up with the perpetrators and the master minds behind the 1984 anti-Sikh riots and the 1992 Babri Masjid demolition. Both these events evoked reactions which threatened the very integrity of the country. It did not matter to the political class so long as these disgraceful acts suited their political agenda. governments in power at the time of these incidents have changed but even the opposition governments have failed either by design or otherwise to bring the culprits to book.
No wonder the motivated negligent law enforcement, prompted by political patronage have failed to put an end to this brand of misery to the country. The go soft attitude of the governments in power to such acts of violence and criminality have emboldened the religious, communal, class and other sectarian groups to go ahead with subsequent mayhem which include the 1990 Hyderabad riots, 1992 Mumbai riots, the Godhra incident, post Godhra riots, and the numerous riots in the Northeast and J & K to name a few.
Take the case of leaked Nira Radia taped conversations. The government has filed a report in the Supreme Court that it has been unable to find the source of leak. Are our investigating agencies so very inefficient? Weren't some specific individual in some particular department been authorized to tap and record the conversations? Is he not accountable for maintaining the confidentiality of the taped conversation? How can anyone including the service providers tape telephonic conversations of individuals in a country which runs by the rule of law? Or was the leak made on purpose or for extraneous considerations?
Fingers were pointed at the erstwhile Chief of the Army Staff for leaking a classified letter addressed to the Prime Minister. There was a furore in the Parliament. IB was ordered to probe the matter. What has happened to the IB probe? A PTI report suggested that the letter was leaked by an officer in the cabinet secretariat. The government labeled the PTI report wrong. If a privileged classified communication could be leaked with impunity, the perpetrators can go to any extent. Why are we shying away from naming the officer and punishing him or her for violating the Official Secrets Act? Was the letter leaked by design by someone to tarnish the image of the then chief?
A Latvian aircraft dropped a large consignment of arms in the district of Purulia in West Bengal in Dec 1995. Five days later when the aircraft re-entered the Indian air space, it was intercepted by the Indian Air Force and forced to land at Mumbai. The alleged king pin, Kim Davy escaped from the busy Sahar Airport on landing in full view of those involved in securing the force landed aircraft. The rest of the crew which included Peter Bleach and five other Latvian nationals were arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment. Following intervention by Russia, the Latvian crews were released in 2000. Presidential pardon was granted to Peter Bleach and was released in 2004. Kim Davy a Danish citizen has made a number of allegations implicating the central government, intelligence agencies and a politician.
Till date the motive and the brain behind the arms drop has remained a mystery to the people of India. Who funded this mission and why? Isn't someone trying to disintegrate the country and subvert democracy? Isn't all this happening at the cost of the lives of innocent people of this country? Are our intelligence and investigating agencies so very incompetent that this case couldn't be solved despite five of the crew members of the aircraft involved in this mission being in our custody for a number of years?
Now we have the massive scams CWG, 2G and the Coalgate suggesting crores of public money being pocketed by individual politicians, political parties, businessmen and bureaucrats. Two of the main accused are out on bail enjoying the fruits of the possible plunder. All this at a time when the economy of the country is going through a very hard time and inflation is skyrocketing. The prices of essential commodities affecting the very survival of the poor are beyond their reach. Are we not mocking at the poor and playing Nero at a time of their suffering?
Confronted with Coalgate, the government is on a denial mode. The truth or the moral obligation of a government to protect national wealth doesn't seem to concern them. On the contrary, the party in power is attributing motives to the CAG for posting his report. The scam pertains to a policy issue relating to arbitrary allotment of coal blocks to favoured parties instead of auctioning them thereby causing a huge loss to the national exchequer. Efforts are being made to divert attention by citing a CVC sponsored CBI enquiry as an effort to unravel the truth. This enquiry is not dealing with the policy issues at all and the aim seems to be to mislead people into believing that the scam never took place.
Similar examples are innumerable. We as a nation are watching from the sidelines collective hooliganism sponsored by political parties in the name of some misconceived hatred theories and beliefs with no concern for the integrity of the country or lives and sufferings of the common man. Impropriety on matters relating to violation of individual rights and National Security are being brushed under the carpet possibly to protect some individuals. Loot of public wealth and corruption by politicians, bureaucrats, businessmen and political parties seems to be never ending with practically no disincentive in sight to deter the wrong doers. With ill-gotten wealth lining the pockets of these worthies, the ostentatious behaviour of this lot, their kith and kin are open and visible. The disparity between the poor and the rich of the dishonest variety is glaring. This is dangerous and does not auger well for the future of the nation and the society. How long can this continue? We are, in the process eliminating whatever little respect is still left in the minds of the people for discipline and the rule of law.
Democracy cannot survive in an environment of indiscipline, contempt for the rule of law and lack of respect for law enforcement agencies. In some of the western democracies, an unmanned STOP signboard at a road junction is good enough for every driver to stop the vehicle and proceed even though the road may be empty. Try ignoring the signboard and without an exception the cop will get you from where you don't know. You can be rest assured that you will be punished on the spot. The so called tip doesn't work there.
Collusion of the politician, bureaucracy, businessmen, the law and investigating agencies against the interest of the country and people is nothing short of treason. By involving the bureaucracy and the investigating agencies in wrong doings, what message are we sending to these government servants and agencies? What respect will they have for those who demand such acts of misdeeds of them and for those in authority? What moral authority will the government have to point a finger at these agencies and officials when they commit grave impropriety?
Our parliamentary system of governance has failed the people especially the poor. It is time we revisited our constitution.
