In Bremerton, new registration may be coming for landlords
Citing concerns over dilapidated rentals, the Bremerton City Council is nearing a vote on an ordinance that would tighten registration requirements for landlords and create penalties for those whose properties are found to be substandard.
"We're trying to clean the city up," Councilman Eric Younger said of the proposed ordinance. "We're trying to make all rental property owners be responsible for their properties, which have an effect on everyone else."
Younger said the vast majority of owners take care of their properties and maintain a healthy and safe environment for tenants. But those who don't should be held accountable for the betterment of the city, he said.
More than 1,200 landlords already have business licenses to operate, at a cost of $75 per year, according to city records. The new ordinance also would require them to register each rental with the city, provide a local point of contact if the owner lives elsewhere and file a declaration saying they'll keep up rentals in compliance with state law.
The owner also must join the police department's landlord notification program, which will inform them of police activity at their rental units.
Complaints that come to the city about rental properties will be investigated, and, should violations of any code be found, the owner has 10 days to fix it. Failing that, the city can then order a case before the hearing examiner, who can levy fines as much as $1,000 per violation and $100 per day thereafter under the proposal.
Earlier this year, the City Council passed an ordinance that mandates owners of abandoned homes register with the city, have a local point of contact and ensure their properties are up to code.
Councilman Nick Wofford had mounted a similar effort in 2010, but it came with financial strings attached: $25 per property above the initial $75 business license. That galvanized area landlords to speak out in opposition and spurred Mayor Patty Lent to threaten a veto if it passed. It didn't, going down in a 6-3 vote in December 2010.
Following a city auditor's report that found "substantially more calls" for police, fire department and code enforcement "are from renter occupied dwellings than from owner occupied dwellings," Councilman Younger resurrected the effort.
But Younger backed off any increased fees as part of the initiative, opting solely for a stronger bond between city government and those who rent homes here.
"This is not a revenue generator," he said.
He does believe there will be some fees the city collects if the proposal becomes an ordinance, because penalties likely will be assessed for those who fail to comply.
The proposal will be discussed at the council meeting at 5 p.m. Wednesday at the Norm Dicks Government Center.
If passed, the ordinance would kick in Jan. 1.
This story has been corrected to reflect the accurate amount of money each landlord was to be charged for each additional property under the 2010 city council proposal.

I feel bad because it has taken me so long to review this toy; I even have 2 more from this company! But it has been a busy few weeks for me and I fell behind on my toy reviews. But fear not, my vagina has stories to tell of all the toys I have tried recently. First up is this delightful glass candy cane I sweetened up my vagina with.
It was so nice of Dr. Dildo to send me a gift package right before Christmas of fun things to play with. The first one that caught my eye was the candy cane shaped one. I remember when I was working in a sex store and we got this toy in stock I was a little perplexed. At first I didn't understand why someone would want to buy that thing. Well I proved myself wrong when it came down to toy testing time.
To keep reading click read more!
I really love glass toys, but they are not for everyone. Some people can get over how hard they are and think they are uncomfortable. I am part of the population that likes a hard toy. They are really great for g spot stimulation since you can put a lot of pressure on the area. Glass is also so sleek and smooth it just glides in and out and feels great. Since glass in non-porous it is hypoallergenic and won't harbor any bacteria. Great for someone who is sensitive to certain toy materials. You can even boil it or put it in the dishwasher to sanitize and clean. So simple.
I got a fantastic idea when it was time to test the toy. I came up with idea of trying to DP myself with the candy cane. I looked at the curve in the toy and figured it was worth the try, hey at least it would be fun trying. So I lubed up the candy cane and began my adventure. I used the long end to penetrate my vagina and was planning on the short end going in my booty. I was so close to getting it in! Unfortunately the curve in the candy cane was greater than the distance between my vagina and butt. DP fail. But I still had fun trying.
The toy still did feel great in my vagina and in my butt too. It is a great size if you are just starting out with anal play. I like to use it now to warm up my booty before anal sex. It gives really great stimulation back there. Plus you can use either end of the toy. It's 7 inches long, which is a good size for an internal toy. I definitely have a lot of fun with this sweet treat.
Even though the holiday season is over you should keep this in mind for next year. You could even keep it out for decoration. I think I will do that next year. I would love being able to tell a person what is was when they saw it in my house.

For all your Commercial Battery needs...
Partners with...
With over 30 years experience in the battery industry, we have extensive knowledge of all the battery types on offer in the marketplace including
their advantages, limitations and suitable applications.
Research of the NiMH system started in the 1970s as a means of discovering how to store hydrogen for the nickel hydrogen battery. Today, nickel hydrogen batteries are mainly used for satellite applications. They are bulky, contain high-pressure steel canisters and cost thousands of dollars each.
In the early experimental days of the NiMH battery, the metal hydride alloys were unstable in the cell environment and the desired performance characteristics could not be achieved. As a result, the development of the NiMH slowed down. New hydride alloys were developed in the 1980s that were stable enough for use in a cell. Since the late 1980s, NiMH has steadily improved, mainly in terms of energy density.
Call us on 01460 66366 or email email@example.com or Click Below:
The success of the NiMH has been driven by its high energy density and the use of environmentally friendly metals. The modern NiMH offers up to 40 percent higher energy density compared to Ni-Cd. There is potential for yet higher capacities, but not without some negative side effects.
Both NiMH and Ni-Cd are affected by high self-discharge. The Ni-Cd loses about 10 percent of its capacity within the first 24 hours, after which the self-discharge settles to about 10 percent per month. The self-discharge of the NiMH is about one-and-a-half to two times greater compared to Ni-Cd. Selection of hydride materials that improve hydrogen bonding and reduce corrosion of the alloy constituents reduces the rate of self-discharge, but at the cost of lower energy density.
The NiMH has been replacing the Ni-Cd in markets such as wireless communications and mobile computing. In many parts of the world, the buyer is encouraged to use NiMH rather than Ni-Cd batteries. This is due to environmental concerns about careless disposal of the spent battery.
The question is often asked, Has NiMH improved over the last few years? Experts agree that considerable improvements have been achieved, but the limitations remain. Most of the shortcomings are native to the nickel-based technology and are shared with the Ni-Cd battery. It is widely accepted that NiMH is an interim step to lithium battery technology.
Initially more expensive than the Ni-Cd, the price of the NiMH has dropped and is now almost at par value. This was made possible with high volume production. With a lower demand for Ni-Cd, there will be a tendency for the price to increase.
PMBL can manufacture your NiMH batteries with cells from Varta, GP, Saft, Sanyo, Emmerich and many more.

| 8.7°C Belfast
Two Irish Olympic executives have told Rio police that the head of their national committee who has been arrested in a touting probe was in sole charge of ticketing matters, a top investigator has said.
Olympic Council of Ireland's team leader Kevin Kilty and chief executive Stephen Martin spoke to police for nearly four hours as witnesses in the investigation that has ensnared the OCI's long-time president, Patrick Hickey. Earlier this week Mr Kilty and Mr Martin were described as suspects.
"They co-operated with us in confirming the role of Patrick Hickey as the one who handled ticket operations. All of the actions were decided by him. So the police is putting together this puzzle," Ronaldo Oliveira, one of the chief investigators, said.
The two Olympic executives wore Ireland's team tracksuits as they offered evidence.
"We are very happy to have co-operated. Nothing to say, sorry," Mr Kilty said as he left the police headquarters with Mr Martin and another man.
OCI secretary general Dermot Henihan spoke to investigators on Tuesday but they ruled out his involvement in the scheme, saying there was no evidence that indicated wrongdoing on his part.
On Tuesday, Rio police said they suspected that the highest-ranking members of the OCI plotted with businessmen to help transfer tickets to an unauthorised vendor who would sell them for high fees disguised as hospitality services.
The three officials' passports, phones and laptops were seized in an Olympic Village raid hours before the closing ceremony. In Mr Kilty's room, police found 228 tickets, which the Irishman told police were reserved for athletes but had been left unused.
On Thursday, Mr Oliveira declined to say whether the tickets were being used illegally, adding that they were still investigating.
He said that there was a good chance that Mr Kilty, Mr Martin and Mr Henihan would be given back their passports soon, enabling them to return home.
The alleged scheme unravelled at the beginning of the Games when Kevin Mallon, head of British hospitality provider THG Sports, was arrested in Rio with tickets that were allocated to the Olympic Council of Ireland.
Mr Hickey, 71, was arrested last week in a dawn raid at his hotel and transferred to a hospital with chest pains.
Mr Hickey, a member of the International Olympic Committee's ruling executive board, was in charge of the influential umbrella group for Europe's Olympic bodies.
Now he faces charges of conspiracy, ticket scalping and ambush marketing, with authorities accusing him of being part of a plot to make three million dollars by illegally selling Rio Games tickets above face value.
The strongest evidence police have found are emails exchanged between Mr Hickey and the head of company that was not an authorised vendor discussing opening and closing ceremony tickets to resell.
Mr Hickey is being held in Rio's Bangu prison complex. His lawyer has not responded to repeated requests for comment on the case.

2015. It's almost history and boy was it a year of change (at least for me). The biggest of course was my family moving from the bustle of the San Francisco Peninsula to the slower paced Sierra Nevada high dessert. I'll be honest, it took me a few months to adjust (missing our California friends the most), but I love our new lifestyle. I'm also enjoying renovating our 1940s home (no small task – so lets see how I feel about it next year!). I've already tackled the foyer, thanks to a nudge from the One Room Challenge and will be sure to share other projects we are undertaking in the upcoming months.
Wishing you a very happy, healthy 2016!

Hello all,
I regret to announce that this will be my last post. My journey as a college student has come to an end and I have given to you all the tips and tricks that I have in my tool belt. You will surely develop your own along the way that will help you with your own specific journey. I want to leave you with something that I think will be the most important in your success and that is staying motivated. Some of you are living away from home, some of you are in extracurricular activities, whatever the reason may be STAY FOCUSED! Environment is something that impacts your motivation more than you may think. There are three different types of environment you should be aware of and those include Physical environment (distance, comfort, supplies you have readily available), Social environment (noise, other people), and Online environment (digital distractions, resources). Here are 4 key tips in managing these three things:
- Find a Quiet Place Where You Can Concentrate
- Find a Soundtrack for Your Motivation
- Shut Out Distraction
- Take Intentional Breaks
If you follow these things you should be on the right track to being motivated with your school work! If you are doing these things and still having trouble take a step back and analyze your well-being as this can be a component that affects your motivation in a negative light. Take care of your health and your mind and motivation will follow!

I love having an interactive mode around so I can test things on the fly.
But the message box pulls all kinds of tricks to do its magic. I'm kind of impressed that it works at all.
So I'd like to propose that the message box:
1. Remove or minimize its dependencies on other IDE stacks
2. Present a well-defined API so that other stacks that need to interact with the message box can do so without needing to know the message box internals.
This would include a probable refactor of the put statement and some special-purpose code I had to put into the debugger.
And I'd like to see engine support for the message box where the tricky code can't be eliminated at script level.

For years, Sony has led the way in the audio game, proving to be pivotal pioneers in the headphone market. Recently we've seen a huge increase in demand and production of quality studio monitor headphones, which has lead to new companies entering the competition. The Sony MDR-7500 series were designed with one particular goal in mind – creating headphones that were the only option for both studio and broadcast monitoring; capable of working with for a range of audio mixing applications. As a videographer and editor, I was pleased to have a pair of Sony MDR-7510 Headphones appear at my desk this morning, and couldn't wait to put the hype to test!
Upon taking the MDR-7510 out of the box, I first noticed how incredibly light they were. Weighing only 261g, these headphones are designed for long, continuous use. The lightweight build is due to the plastic exterior of these headphones. They're lightweight but feel anything but flimsy. Instead, Sony has created a sturdy and durable casing that will survive well beyond the usual wear and tear, designed with the consumers priorities in mind. The headphones have a closedback ear cup design with thick around-ear cushions to block out environmental noise while providing lasting comfort. The padded headband is adjustable to provide a snug fit for virtually any head size. There is also a great deal of slack provided by the extra long 3m cable, which facilitates clear signal transfer. Included with the headphones is a gold-plated 3.5mm plug and 1/4" adapter, which offers compatibility with a wide variety of studio applications.
The real magic in these headphones shines through in their performance. To ensure that these headphones deliver accurate sound, Sony has incorporated 50mm drivers with PET diaphragms and neodymium magnets, which give an extended frequency response that brings out the deepest bass and crisp treble. As the MDR-7500 series were designed as a monitoring set, I had to try these out on my recent editing work for the soon to be released Mixdown TV. When playing back unedited footage, the first thing I noticed is the wide range of frequencies that these headphones picked up. I had a lot of unwanted noise in my playback that I hadn't noticed when first filming, and these headphones were able to identify all of the blemishes that could have been avoided during production. Adding to their dynamic range, the sound quality was immaculately clear. As far as an industry standard pair of monitor headphones go, it's difficult to go past the Sony MDR-7510.

Hey DW, sorry i am only getting back to you now. I am not able to see your wardrobe on your profile. list some for me? or what types of frags do you usually prefer?
Hmmm... okay. Well, not being an avid fresh fan, have you tried Geir? It's reasonable priced (last time I checked) and is more of a fresh floriental. Other than that, Iceberg Twice can be obtained for roughly $20 (100ml) - it's more aromatic but still fresh. Also try the men's offerings by Guerlain - Guerlain Homme, Vetiver and Habit Rouge ( Légère or EDC versions). Your budget may prove to be problematic but I'm sure there may be other options, if you get lucky on ebay...
Hi dw1243,
I'm not too sure if I can help you with such a small budget. Could you tell me what fragrances or notes you particularly like?

Aardman's Bullough Warns About Plight of U.K. Animation
Speaking to the BBC and Deadline.com, Aardman Animations' head of TV Miles Bullough warned that the Bristol-based shop may have to produce its beloved plasticine projects in Ireland, Germany or Canada in order to cut costs. Bullough bemoaned the U.K.'s lack of support for TV animation and its production tax laws. He pointed out that although features produced in the U.K. receive a healthy tax break of between 15 to 20 percent, animation houses are left on their own even though they are more labor intensive and create more jobs in the economy.
The veteran animation exec pointed out that popular shows such as Shaun the Sheep and Timmy Time will have to be sent abroad to make up for rising costs of hand-made animation. A recent study by Animation U.K. noted that two in five British animation companies were struggling to make ends meet, while four out of five had to cut costs to survive. It also revealed that 40 percent of the companies had either taken a loss or broken even in the last year.
"Animation is such a labor-intensive undertaking that by retaining jobs in the UK we increase national insurance receipts, tax receipts, expenditure and VAT receipts," Bullough told the BBC. "Do we want to see Bob the Builder driving on the right-hand side of the road? That is what will happen if we don't watch out. And do you want our children thinking that the emergency services number is 911? If we let cheap American products come into the country we are selling our children short."
Bullough told Deadline.Com that Aardman's next big preschool animated series Ploo may have to be outsourced to Ireland or Germany if the the U.K. doesn't change its tax laws. If the preschool show, which is based on charming Blue Nose Island books by children's author Mick Inkpen's (Kipper, Wiggly Pig) moves to Ireland, it will cut about %25 of its production costs. It will be 15 to 20% cheaper to produce the animation in Germany. The BBC has commissioned an initial 52 five-minute episodes of the show.

This scooter is a larger version of the gas powered scooter. The photo shows it skinned with sheet metal. This larger version would be better suited for distance driving on the street than the other on, as it is larger and more powerful.
This scooter can take a much larger motor than the plans suggest. The plans suggest that for flat ground putting, a 1.5 hp motor is adequate. We'd suggest something much larger if you're interested in speed, or if you live in an area that has any amount of hills. You'd feel pretty funny if your scooter slowed to a snail's pace when climbing hills.
The frame is completely angle iron, so it's very easy to build. The scooter plans also call for spring shocks to cushion the ride.
All in all, this scooter would be a great project for adults to cruise to neighbor's houses and down to the corner store.

We're in the middle of a perfect storm.
The Federal Reserve is beginning to unwind its $4.5 trillion balance sheet. The Fed, which was designed to protect big banks and not the American people, has no real understanding of what this will do the economy, because it's never been done before.
Meanwhile, the 10-year U.S. Treasury is closer to the end of its 35-year bull market than to the beginning. The 10-year yield is up roughly 25% since September, and just yesterday, it jumped to a 10-month high, as investors dumped their bonds on mere rumors that China would stop buying American debt. The yield stayed elevated even after China called the report "fake news."
And to top it all off, the Fed continues to raise rates, slowly putting the brakes on the American economy.
None of this inspires much faith in the American economy in the short term. We may even be in for a market pullback within the next few months…
But a pullback doesn't mean a loss of wealth.
In fact, you could be looking at a 127% profit just this year – if you know where to invest…
To Hedge Against Federal Reserve Risk, Invest in Gold
Each one of these factors works in gold's favor.
Of course, any market pullback or correction caused by the Fed's unwinding will increase interest in gold as a safe-haven investment.
Similarly, gold generally moves opposite the 10-year Treasury. As the value of the Treasury goes down (and its interest rate increases), the price of gold will go up.
This principle holds true for the federal funds rate, as well.
Indeed, if you follow gold's price run since the Fed officially began raising interest rates post-recession – in December 2015 – you'll notice a distinct pattern about the yellow metal's price.
In July 2016, for example, you'll see that gold peaked close to $1,370 an ounce – a 29% surge since that December 2015 hike. And in September 2017, the yellow metal topped out around $1,360 – an 18% gain since the December 2016 rate hike.
Forbes predicts that this pattern will send gold to somewhere between $1,460 and $1,600 an ounce by summer.
But we believe that's far too light a forecast.
In fact, we think $3,000 is entirely possible by year's end.
That's a 127% increase in price.
In fact, you could trounce even those amazing gains if you know how to play this incredible gold bull market. Check it out…
These Little-Known Gold Investments Could Have Handed You Up to 7,679% Profits
In an exclusive, free report, see what the gold market's ultimate authority is doing that the markets have never seen before.
He's planning to discuss the stocks he buys with his own money.
You see, in this new bull market, these obscure, often-overlooked stocks have already delivered enough profits to turn $1,000 into as much as $77,000 – or to turn $25,000 into nearly $2 million.
Once you see the profit potential for yourself, your life will never be the same again.

Apple-Pie Eugenics
War Against the Weak
See if you can guess the source of this quote. "It is better for all the world … [if] society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind … Three generations of imbeciles is enough."
If you think that this quote came from a Nazi
document, you're wrong. It's from Oliver Wendell Holmes's 1927 majority
opinion in Buck v. Bell that upheld a
Twenty years later, Holmes's words were thrown back in our face by Nazi defendants in the
That's the conclusion of a new book, War against the Weak: Eugenics and America's Campaign to Create a Master Race written by Edwin Black, who contends that American "corporate philanthropies helped found and fund the Nazi eugenics of Hitler and Mengele."
Eugenics, which literally means "good birth," originally referred to the use of selective breeding to "improve" the human race. Of course, what was meant by "improve" reflected the racism and bigotry of the eugenicists. Blacks, Jews, Eastern and Southern Europeans, the retarded, and even people with brown hair were the targets of the "improvers."
Thus, between 1900 and the mid-sixties, "hundreds of thousands of Americans … were not permitted to continue their families by reproducing." Black compares it to "ethnic cleansing," and he's right.
The tools of American eugenics included forcible
sterilization, commitment to mental institutions, prohibitions against
marriage, and even dissolution of already existing marriages. One
Eventually, American eugenics, with help from the
Carnegie Institution, the Rockefeller Foundation, Margaret Sanger, and
others, found its way to
The Holocaust and other crimes of the Third Reich made eugenics a bad word, and the American connection was quickly swept under the rug. But the attempt to play God "never really stopped."
Today it takes the form of "human genomic science and corporate globalization." Instead of racist declarations, we have "polished PR campaigns" that hold out the promises of biotech: miracle cures and ever-increasing life expectancies.
While the word eugenics is never used, that's what it is. We are intent on eliminating "imperfection" from the gene pool. Even today, children whose "deformities" are discovered in utero are rarely permitted to be born. And as genetic technology improves, the list of those whom Black calls the "never-born" will continue to expand.
If the "abolition of man" is to be stopped, this story must be told. Christians need to pull the truth about eugenics out from underneath the rug and hold it up as a reminder of where playing God leads us. Six decades of denial is enough.

How did you first get involved with OpenStreetMap? Did you ever envision it becoming as successful as it is today? I was in a similar situation to many people who get involved in OpenStreetMap: I had a smartphone and a Bluetooth GPS receiver, and wanted to use them for navigation, particularly for off-road cycling. There was no easy, legal way of doing this, but OpenStreetMap offered a promise, even if in those early days the data wasn't there. I don't know whether I considered where OSM was going at first -- all I was concerned with was whether it would allow me to do what I wanted to do, which was countryside mapping for walking and biking. I did add other features besides the ones I was interested in, and by the time other people started mapping in the same area, it was clear we could do far more with OpenStreetMap than just roads and paths. As an early adopter of OSM, can you tell us what it was like to add and edit data back then? Was there much standardization at all? Starting with an almost blank canvas was lots of fun, and made every mapping trip easy and worthwhile. There was no aerial imagery or other data for the area I was mapping, so I did everything on foot or by bike. The most common features such as road types were already pretty standardised but there were things people just hadn't got around to mapping yet. As an example, there are lots of turning circles in the roads around where I live, but there was no existing tag for these, so I just went ahead and created one. Now there are hundreds of thousands of them in OpenStreetMap. Is your own personal experience what motivated you to write OpenStreetMap: Be your own Cartographer? I've been writing about technology for 15 years, so condensing everything I'd learned about OpenStreetMap into a book seemed an obvious move. While everyone working on OpenStreetMap's software does their best to write and maintain documentation for the bits they're responsible for, having a coherent set of documentation is a lot harder. Also, while online documentation is fine if you're just trying to get a single task done, it's easier to get an overall picture of a project like OpenStreetMap from a book that ties all the pieces together. I hope my book makes it easier both to understand OpenStreetMap as a whole, and to know how to use the data for specific purposes. What do you hope people will get out of your book? The book is aimed at people who have little or no experience of OpenStreetMap, but are interested in creating and using the data. They may just want it for personal use, like many of us, or they could be working in a company that uses proprietary geodata and is looking for a better solution, or they could be in a local government GIS department. I've tried to keep the book light and easy to read -- it's more to show you examples of the kinds of things that are possible with OpenStreetMap, rather than an exhaustive listing of every last option in every piece of software. The printed version is less than 15mm thick (that's half an inch if you're in the US), so it's the sort of book you can carry around and just dip into when you have a few spare minutes. And finally, we'd like to ask the same question we asked Frederik Ramm, Jochen Topf and Steve Chilton. Where do you think OSM will be in another 5 years when it's 2015? The great thing about OpenStreetMap is that it allows people to use the data and tools for things you'd never be able to predict, so I'm not going to try to say what people will be doing with OSM. What I think we will see is better integration between all the different parts of the project. We're already seeing the start of this, with bug trackers appearing in editors so that mappers can find, fix and close bugs in the data from a single application, and we should see other types of quality assurance tools like TagInfo being brought into editors as well. What I hope we'll get better at is making it easy for a fledgling mapping community in other countries to get going. Things like localising the tools and services, and adapting tagging conventions to each country need to be easier, so that mappers spend more time mapping, and less time fiddling with the tools.We wanted to thank Jonathan Bennett for allowing us to interview him and talk to us about his latest book. Be sure to check it out!
Holiday Gift Idea #2 - OpenStreetMap: Be your own Cartographer | MapQuest Developer Blog
OpenStreetMap: Be your own Cartographer by Jonathan Bennett OpenStreetMap: Be your own Cartographer is another must-have for any map lover, whether or not they currently have any knowledge of OpenStreetMap (OSM). It's well written, nicely organized, and is a great introduction (and beyond) to the entire OSM project. The book begins with a brief history of OSM, an introduction to the OSM website, links to internet resources, and everything else to help you hit the ground running. Once you're feeling comfortable enough to begin contributing and becoming a mapper, the book provides you with information on GPS surveying, data tagging, and various mapping/editing techniques. Three popular editors -- Potlatch, JOSM, Merkaartor -- are also covered in depth, helping to choose the right editor for the reader. Developers and mapping specialists will especially appreciate the latter half of the book where Bennett explores ways to publish your own customized maps using the OSM export tool, Kosmos, and Osmarender. Entire chapters are also devoted to accessing raw OSM data and its API, and manipulating OSM data with Osmosis to fit your needs. Overall, OpenStreetMap: Be your own Cartographer, is balanced in a way that isn't too dense and still covers the key highlights of OSM. It should be noted that this book reads easily and new users will benefit tremendously having just read the beginning few sections. Like OpenStreetMap: Using and Enhancing the Free Map of the World, this book is a valuable OSM resource and makes for an excellent gift for everyone this holiday season! MapQuest was fortunate enough to have a moment with Jonathan Bennett and have him speak with us about OpenStreetMap: Be your own Cartographer.

Fifty years ago, the Women's National Book Association – San Francisco was founded by Effie Lee Morris, a groundbreaking librarian and educator. She recognized the power of literacy and education in overcoming racism, inequality, and poverty. To celebrate fifty fabulous years, the WNBA-SF hosted an event at the San Francisco public library in March 2018 with a panel of those who knew and worked with Effie.
Effie's legacy lives on not only with the WNBA-SF, but with the Effie Lee Morris Historical and Research Collection. The collection is housed at the San Francisco Public Library and the annual Effie Lee Morris Children's Literature Lecture Series.
Since founding a platform for women in the world of books, the WNBA-SF has advocated for women's rights. Our community has included New York Times bestselling authors, writing coaches, award-winning editors, literary agents, National Book Critics, librarians, and more.
It is fitting that our last event of the year will showcase member authors at the Holiday Showcase at the Book Passage in Corte Madera. During the event, members will read from their books and join panel discussions on expansive and reaching topics.
A Review of 2018
In 2018, the WNBA-SF hosted many notable events, expanded partnerships, created new member opportunities, and organized plenty of fun. We kicked off 2018 with a collaboration at the SF Writers Conference as an exhibitor. The following members served as presenters: Nina Amir, Linda Lee, Mary E. Knippel, Martha Conway, Kate Farrell, Betsy Graziani Fasbinder, Mary Mackey, Barbara Santos, Helen Sedwick, Mary Volmer, and Marylee MacDonald.
In March, we hosted our marquee event, Pitch-O-Rama. The event focused on connecting writers with agents and acquisition editors. At this sold-out event, an impressive group of publishing professionals provided guidance and insight to 110 attendees. The post-pitch session provided attendees with useful bookselling tips and tools. The panel included Jim Azevedo, Eileen Duhné, Cathy Turney, and WNBA-SF member Brenda Knight.
A Busy October
October is a busy time for our chapter. First, the WNBA-SF hosted the National Reading Group Month event at the Book Passage in San Francisco. This event, co-sponsored with Litquake, hosted writers whose works highlight the idea of pushing boundaries--stories of border crossings, love, courage, and the indomitable human spirit.
Our participation at Litquake included a booth at the first-ever Lit Crawl Book Fair, the world's largest pop-up literary event. Over 10,000 people attend Lit Crawl each year. WNBA-SF board executives were on site to sell books authored by members.
Finally, we launched a partnership with the Mechanics' Institute and organized two events. First, in August we hosted the Epic Reads Event, featuring member writers Mary Mackey and Mary Volmer. Both have authored highly successful historical novels--which are loved by many readers and reviewers. We hosted our second event with the Mechanics' Institute in October with an Author's Lunch, featuring members Eileen Duhne, Brenda Knight, and Sue Wilhite discussing when marketing a book makes sense.
Both of our Mechanics Institutes' events were standing room only, and the Mechanics' Institute Library stated they were "the most successful author lunches of the year." As a result, we were invited to host more member-led events at their marvelous facility.
January 2019
In January 2019, the WNBA-SF will kick off the New Year with our holiday mixer for members and friends. Then we will be gearing up for Pitch-O-Rama 2019, taking place March 23, 2019. Pitch-O-Rama 2019 will deliver on the four P's that lead to publication—polish, pitch, promote, and participate--in a Q&A panel.
Gratitude for Members
Our thriving organization is grateful for another successful year. Members are the heart of our community, and the WNBA-SF is thankful for their participation.
We close the year with Effie's favorite quote from The Little Prince and best wishes to all!
"It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye."

Pests in Schools
It's September and schools everywhere are back in session! Moms and dads are rejoicing, teachers are prepping for a new school year, and kids are thrilled to see their friends and show off their new clothes. However, for a school that has become infested with pests, the start of the beginning of the school year might not be so exciting or seamless. Schools provide pests with many nooks and crannies in which to hide and also offer a safe and warm place to live during the upcoming colder months.
School administrators should especially be on the lookout for the following pests:
- Flies buzzing around a classroom are distracting but, more importantly, flies are notorious for contaminating food.
- Cockroaches are not only creepy, but they can also trigger allergic reactions and asthma attacks in children. They also spread many different kinds of bacteria including E. coli and Salmonella.
- Spiders are typically harmless but they can be bothersome, scream inducing, and can also be a sign of other pest infestations.
- Rodents can fit through very small spaces, sometimes as small as a dime, and can often times carry serious diseases. They can also leave behind gross droppings, make distracting noises, and emit terrible odors.
- Stinging Insects are very active in the early fall and their stings not only hurt small children, but can also cause allergic reactions.
The aforementioned pests don't just target schools. They are also commonly found in office buildings, hotels, nursing homes, apartments, and a variety of other commercial businesses. Luckily, Freedom Pest Control offers commercial pest control services in addition to residential. If your school or place of business has been infested, please call us today at 1-877-PESTS-55 for more information!Tags: fall, infestation, New England, pest control, pest free, pests, schools, Tips

The floodgates holding back anarchy are constantly under strain. The liberal would ease the pressure by diverting some of the water; the conservative would shore up the dykes, the totalitarian would construct a stronger dam. But is anarchy a destructive force? The absence of government may alarm the authoritarian, but is a liberated people really its own worst enemy--or is the true enemy of mankind, as the anarchists claim, the means by which he is governed? Without government the world could manage to end exploitation and war. Anarchy should not be confused with weak, divided or manifold government. As Christie and Meltzer point out, only with the total abolition of government can society develop in freedom.

Urijah Faber may have lost a controversial championship bout against UFC Bantamweight Renan Barao last Saturday at UFC 169.After the fight Faber admitted he suffered an injury only eight-days into his training camp.
Sources transcribed the following from the UFC 169 Post Fight Press Conference:
"Eight days into this camp I tore my hamstring [and] bruised my patella tendon, It was just a minor tear of my hamstring and a deep bruise of my patella tendon, I was doing mitt work like twice a day. I wasn't able to spar. I only sparred once for this camp, but honestly today I felt great coming into the fight. I was worried about that coming in, but things just healed in time."

Beale haunts Blues
BLUES coach Pat Lam can't get away from the Waratahs. Even at home they are seared in his psyche as his children extol the skills of Kurtley Beale.
His kids are huge fans of the versatile Beale and disconcerted the Blues are primed to end his and the Tahs' playoff run tomorrow at Eden Park.
The visitors have been hit by a slew of new injuries this week, including the discovery on arrival in Auckland that halfback Luke Burgess had broken his hand and - air travel permitting - would return home.
Meanwhile the Blues made one change to their starting side, recalling regular halfback Alby Mathewson and bringing the repaired Daniel Braid into the reserves.
It was, said Lam, an easy side to choose because, like the Waratahs, they had few alternatives at this stage of the season. He was getting some domestic grief, though, about nobbling Beale and the Tahs.
"He has X-factor, he's a quality player, my kids like him," Lam said. "Ten or 15, he's going to be a threat. He will run the game for them. He's a dangerous player we need to try to shut down."
Beale will shift into five-eighths tomorrow as the Waratahs deal with injuries to Daniel Halangahu and Berrick Barnes and the late withdrawal of Burgess, while the front row has become a juggling act to plug the absence of Tatafu Polota-Nau and Al Baxter.
"I think there is more responsibility on me to control the game whereas in the last few weeks I have been able to just pop up anywhere and hold on the edges a fair bit but now it is my turn to step up and take control of the game," Beale said.
The Waratahs had a game plan which would still suit his flair although he would have to be more selective in his plays. Even when he played at fullback he would slip into five-eighths so not much would alter.
He needed to guide the forwards round Eden Park and would have the guidance of Tom Carter beside him and that of his captain, Phil Waugh, who missed the side's round-robin match and was leaving the first-class rugby scene this year.
Lam and the Blues were switched on, noting the rise in excitement at reaching the playoffs for the first time since 2007. They had tried to think of all eventualities from the need for dropped goals to coping with extra time.
Left wing Lachie Munro would goalkick again because he thrived on the pressure and had kicked extremely well in tough conditions.
The Blues were not fazed by their lack of information on several possible Waratahs recruits.
"It will come down to the teamwork they use," Lam said. "Our scouting is minimal but it is more about team patterns and structures.
"Our focus really is about us firing shots and really giving it a good crack, that is more important for us."
The Blues' concentration would be on performing the basics well, sorting their set-piece, remembering what they had gleaned from their four recent defeats and doing what was needed to win. There were no bonus points on offer, the target was just outscoring the Waratahs.
The Blues belted the Waratahs 31-17 midway through the series but did not score after halftime while the Waratahs collected 10 points. Both sides have lost men from that match: Isaia Toeava, Rene Ranger and Kurtis Haiu for the Blues while Drew Mitchell, Halangahu, Burgess, Sekope Kepu and Polota-Nau are missing from the Tahs.
"That's in the past, finals footy is a new ball game, we have come here to do a job," said Beale. He thought he was a different player from his initial foray into Super rugby. He hoped so.
"As a youngster I just wanted to score from every play, now I pick and choose my moment. I think that has been my big move."
He and the Tahs wanted to keep their run going for Waugh, who had been a great team man and encouragement throughout his career.
"When you get to finals football anything can happen. The Blues are an exciting team but we are pretty confident we can match them up front," said Beale speaking like a true five-eighths.

Remember that fund-raising drive wherein we offered appearances in a forthcoming webcomic to folks who donated to Save Our Sooj? Well, almost two years later, those appearances begin this week.
Originally called "String Theory," the webcomic was eventually retitled Arpeggio and appeared online a few months back. Why has it taken so long to get the contributors involved? Three reasons:
1. We're doing this webcomic old-school style: one full page per episode, each one scripted, sketched, penciled, inked, lettered and blogged. This takes roughly a week per installment, so we built up a backlog of almost 40 completed episodes before we went live. This way, we avoid the stall-out that often occurs when Life inevitably disrupts the comic-production schedule.
2. I had already scripted over 20 episodes when the Save Our Sooj benefit began. The real-life "characters" got added to the storyline from there on out. I'm now up to over 70 episodes written, with most of the appearances scripted and many of them drawn but not yet posted.
3. We had plenty of technical troubles getting the strip online. Arpeggio premiered months later than we had planned, and it took a few more months beyond that to become a regular feature.
And now, here it is!
Our first SOS contributor, Courtney Landes, takes on the role of a teacher at Meghan's school. Other real-life folks will appear in various characterizations - all fictional, and each a part of Meghan's world. So yeah, stick around. Arpeggio just became even more interesting than before.

Simulation of Shielding Materials against Galactic Cosmic Rays
Li, Xindi
Bayazitoglu, Yildiz
Master of Science
Radiation is one of the most critical hazards for deep space missions. Among the sources of deep space radiation, the Galactic Cosmic Rays, which are composed of high energy ions travelling at relativistic speeds from outside the solar system, are especially difficult to shield. As spacefaring nations have progressed in their exploration activities, there has been increasing interest in longer and deeper space voyages. However, beyond Low Earth Orbit, without the protection afforded by the Earth's magnetic field, long space voyages have increased risks from radiation exposure. Hence more efficient shielding materials are necessary for solving this radiation issue. Space radiation shielding can be examined by either ground-based experiments or simulations. Deterministic or Monte Carlo approaches are the two computational methods to simulate the radiation transport problem. MULASSIS, a Monte Carlo code developed by QinetiQ, BIRA and ESA is based on Geant4 and is used in this thesis. A convergence study is first performed with aluminum as a shielding material in order to determine the number of primary particles to use in the MULASSIS simulations. Dose equivalent analysis is then performed for single shielding materials with updated radiation weighting factors recommended in ICRP 103, including aluminum, polyethylene, boron nitride infused with hydrogen and liquid hydrogen. Dose equivalent depth curves are plotted for each shielding material, and in addition for various multilayer combinations of aluminum and the other materials. Because the biological impact from secondary produced neutrons can be so harmful, a fluence analysis is performed for various elemental components of the GCR radiation spectrum for different shielding materials.

The holiday season is upon us once again and the time has come to investigate some of the festive music available on DVD-Audio, a prominent example of which is the subject of this review.
'Christmas Extraordinaire' is the fourth seasonal disc from Chip Davis and Mannheim Steamroller (the first being released in 1983) and therefore has a lot to live up to, the previous works having long-since been entrenched in the 'Christmas classics' section of many music collections the world over.
If you're not familiar with Chip Davis' work, he's easily summed up as the archetypal one-man-band; he plays as many instruments as he can lay his hands on, composes (although not for this disc), arranges, conducts and produces. Not one single facet of a Mannheim Steamroller disc manages to escape a creative massaging from the man himself.
For this particular disc however, Davis has called upon the assistance of some accomplished musicians; the assembled hoards of the Soli Deo Gloria Consortium, The University of Michigan Men's Glee Club and the voice of Christmas himself, Mr. Johnny Mathis. The album was recorded as a 24-bit 96kHz project at a number of venues including Chicago, Burbank and in the Hill Auditorium, University of Michigan, for presentation as a surround DVD-Audio disc and two-channel HDCD encoded CD.
Which brings us to the first really positive aspect of the whole package; a measly $25 (list price) buys you a double-sided DVD disc and bundled within the same case, a CD too, which inflates the supplementary material score. Every possible listening scenario is therefore taken care of – DVD-Video folks get two-channel Dolby Digital at 224kb/s (an unusual data rate to say the least) together with multi-channel Dolby Digital at 448kb/s and DTS at 1509.75kb/s, whilst those who are DVD-Audio equipped can enjoy a dedicated 96kHz 24-bit PCM two-channel mix or multi-channel MLP of an equivalent resolution. No DVD player in the car or kitchen? Then that's what the CD is for (it would be cynical of me to suggest you could also find an empty Jewel case and give it away as a pre-Christmas gift).
The music itself, and the performances for that matter, are diverse, thanks largely to the way they were selected – via an American Gramaphone web site poll, no less. Chip imparts his unique arranging style to pieces that span the centuries, from the traditional New Year anthem that is 'Auld Lang Syne', written by Scottish poet Robert Burns in the latter half of the eighteenth century, to contemporary classics such as 'Do You Hear What I Hear?' and the inevitable, unavoidable 'White Christmas'. There are more unusual tracks too, including the traditional Spanish carol 'Fum, Fum, Fum' and the lesser-known 'Some Children See Him'.
Perhaps the biggest shocks to the system, especially if you're a staunch traditionalist, are the arrangements of 'Hallelujah' from Handel's 'Messiah' and what is essentially a funk version of 'Faeries' from Tchaikovsky's 'Nutcracker'. However, if you don't enjoy the way they've been spruced-up for this release, you're also likely to be the sort of person who mumbles "bah, humbug" throughout the entire Christmas period because the new arrangements are both inventive and good fun.
Musically 'Christmas Extraordinare' is a strange beast, being a mixture of synthesised and acoustic instruments. What's particularly odd is that tracks such as 'Halleluja' and 'Winter Wonderland' are predominantly electronic, even to the point of imitating 'real' instruments, when later pieces have an obvious and deliberate orchestral leaning. The weirdest thing of all however, is how such an odd-couple concoction results in what really is an outstanding Christmas album. Even my own mother who was, ahem, given a CD copy, went out of her way to commend the disc. If I recall correctly, the word she used was "lovely", which coming from someone who never usually ventures outside the world of grand opera or Elvis Presley (yes, I know) is praise indeed.
The multi-channel mix is lively, but not detrimentally so. Instruments have been spread around to the sides of the room but never become distracting while the centre channel is used sparsely, to the point of being almost completely silent during some tracks. I couldn't help but feel that Johnny Mathis' 'O Tannenbaum' lead vocal would have been more open and distinct had he been positioned dead centre rather than as a phantom L/R image.
The mix has one distracting element however, that being the overly forward cymbals and hi-hat. Across both multi-channel and two-channel versions, they tended to drag my attention away from the remainder of the music and into the front right corner of the room, not just because of their repetitive nature (more electronic samples perhaps?), but primarily down to their relative level; 'Silver Bells' and 'Winter Wonderland' suffering the worst. In comparison, the presentation of 'Away in a Manger' boasts a beautiful, finely balanced mixture of guitars and recorders.
Disc fidelity is, on the whole, excellent, with only a few minor causes for concern. Electronic elements are clearly discernable and it is frighteningly easy to tell them apart from 'real' instruments, such is the fidelity on offer. Chip Davis is credited as playing "recorder and drums", but many of the percussion elements have a definite synthesised character, tom drums especially. If an electronic drum kit wasn't used (and there is no way of telling from the liner notes), then the percussion's artificial tone is one of the few aspects of below-par fidelity that count against the disc as a whole. If it was an electronic drum kit by design, then it's not up to the scrutiny of DVD-Audio and someone should buy Chip a real set of drums for Christmas.
My other quibble is with the sound of the bells at the beginning and end of 'Fum, Fum, Fum' where minor amounts of harmonic distortion can be heard (especially when compared to the pure bells of Silverline's 'Ziroq' disc, for example). This is unlikely to be the result of audible watermarking as the same problems can be identified on the CD-DA disc, just not to the same degree.
Otherwise the DVD-Audio disc holds up really well under close inspection and even the lossy Dolby Digital and DTS versions on the flip side afford a great way to impart some seasonal cheer, albeit with a slight sense of dynamic range compression. The MLP bass is deep and strong, vocal elements clear while orchestral passages impart a sense of depth and space.
Supplementary material is identical on both faces of the disc; it includes two short trailers for the 'Christmas Live' and 'Christmas Angel' DVDs, a selection of DVD music pieces (to showcase the 'Ambience' series of discs), an excerpt from 'Fresh Aire 8' and a passage promoting the 'Home Theatre Demo' DVD-Audio disc previously featured here at High Fidelity Review. Completing the collection are American Gramaphone's 'Comet' system test and a five-minute behind-the-scenes video montage of the disc's production.
'Christmas Extraordinare' is available from a limited number of outlets, although it can be found within the web sites of major on-line retailers such as Amazon.com ($20) or DVD-Empire ($18.74), see side-bar. Alternatively, one can place an order direct from American Gramaphone who also offer a selection of gift packs that encompass both DVD-Audio and CD versions of the disc.
As seasonal albums go, 'Christmas Extraordinaire' is most certainly a winner. Chip Davis, and I'm not exactly sure how, has managed to breathe new life into the majority of the tracks on this disc, resurrecting otherwise tired old stalwarts such as 'White Christmas'. That alone means the disc is worth recommending, but factor in the commendable standard of recording fidelity and the sensible, involving surround mix and what results is a DVD-Audio disc to enjoy for many years to come.

SANTA ANA — All it wanted, and then some.
That's what the boys basketball team from Cantwell-Sacred Heart gave the top-ranked team in the country Friday night. In the first round of play in the CIF-SS Open Division playoffs, the Cardinals played unbeaten Mater Dei as tough as any team this season and even forced overtime with a basket off an inbound play in the final seconds of regulation.
The Monarchs, however, pulled away at the free-throw line in overtime and held on for a 66-59 triumph that improved their overall record to 28-0. Cantwell-Sacred Heart fell to 20-7, but because the division features a consolation bracket as well, it will continue the postseason next week and still has a chance to reach the CIF State Division 4 tournament.
"Obviously, we're disappointed with the outcome," Cardinals coach George Zedan said. "We felt like we had as good a chance as anybody to pull off the upset. But I can't say enough about our kids and their effort and willingness to play hard.
"We still have a lot of season left, and hopefully we can bring a championship to Cantwell."
Senior guard E.J. Mejia led the Cardinals with 18 points, including four 3-pointers. Joey Covarrubias added 13 points — all in the second half — and Andrew Martinez came off the bench to score 12 points, including a pair of 3-pointers.
Covarrubias and Mejia also did a good job of defending McDonald's All-American Stanley Johnson. The Arizona signee scored 17 points but was held to one field goal in the second half. Isaiah Juarez also scored 17 points for the Monarchs, the No. 1 team in the state and country, and M.J. Cage had 15 points and three blocked shots.
Cantwell trailed by eight points entering the fourth quarter and by six with 2:09 left. But it went on a 7-1 run to end the quarter and tied the game at 51-51 with less than 10 seconds to play on a basket by Abraham Rodriguez.
In overtime, a pair of Mejia free throws tied the game again at 53-53, but Mater Dei put the game away at the free-throw line. The Monarchs were 9 or 11 in overtime, including a 5-of-6 effort from Johnson.
Cantwell will face Chaminade in the consolation bracket next week. Mater Dei will play Mayfair.
Mater Dei opened the game looking very much like the nation's No. 1 team and took an early 11-2 lead. Cage scored off an offensive rebound, La'vette Parker sank a 3-pointer and Johnson had an assist on a Juarez basket with 4:40 left.
The Cardinals, however, fought back with the 3-point shot. Mejia closed the first quarter with two in a row to cut the Monarchs' lead to 14-10 and made another with 5:09 left in the second to pull the Cardinals within a point at 18-17. Cantwell took a 19-18 lead on Balsa Dragovic's basket, energizing the Cardinals' fans.
Martinez came off the bench to sink another 3-pointer for the Cardinals — with an assist from Mejia — and Cantwell trailed by only three, 27-24, at halftime.

Critics be damned! The defense secretary knows what's right for America.
Scott Menchin
My favorite Bush administration figure is the president's gnomic futurist, defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld. Rummy thinks outside the box. He talks in aphorisms, adages, and apothegms, rather like a magazine columnist. So I find it hard not to like him.
This article has been reproduced in a new format and may be missing content or contain faulty links. Contact email@example.com to report an issue.
He chaired Rand, the gold standard of national security think tanks. He's vastly preferable to other famous Republican futurists, such as Joan Quigley (Nancy Reagan's astrologer) and Michael Drosnin (who recently briefed the Pentagon on the prophetic intelligence unveiled by his so-called Bible Code). Unlike those sorry phonies, Rumsfeld has demonstrated his skills in real-world positions of power and accountability. He's also capable of talking good sense.
During his 40 years in business and government, Rumsfeld assembled a folksy collection of principles for running a military-industrial complex. Called Rumsfeld's Rules, the document warmed the hearts of upper-level managers when it appeared in The Wall Street Journal just after its author took office. Some of the rules are his own, but many are respectfully quoted from sources he admires, including Winston Churchill, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and, endearingly, his children.
Scott Menchin
Rumsfeld's maxims offer deep insight into why the American republic has survived and thrived. They also explain why this presidency is scaring the world into a tizzy. The administration has Rumsfeld on board, and yet observe how it's trampling his rules:
"Think ahead. Don't let day-to-day operations drive out planning." Bush's look-ahead routine crashed on September 11. Now what's the golden objective? The path ahead leads to war, economic decline, alienation from friends, and endless surveillance.
"If a prospective presidential approach can't be explained clearly enough to be understood well, it probably hasn't been thought through well enough." Americans can live with wars. All we need is an attack by a bad guy and a good, ringing slogan. "Operation Iraqi Freedom" is about preemptive defense, UN credibility, worldwide unilateralism, and Arab democracy – four oxymorons.
"Visit with your predecessors from previous administrations. Try to make original mistakes, rather than needlessly repeating theirs." What year is this, exactly? 1914? 1929? 1964, year of the Tonkin Gulf resolution? The energy crisis of the 1970s? Let's hope it's not 1989, with the US playing the Soviet Union.
"From where you sit, the White House may look as untidy as the inside of a stomach. Don't let that panic you. Things may be going better than they look from the inside." It was Rumsfeld's great insight that September 11 was the harbinger of a new kind of war that could destroy America: nuclear guerrilla war. Faced with potential annihilation, the administration panicked. That's why it's violating Rumsfeld's rules.
"The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function." The threat from weapons of mass destruction is so vast in scope that it has overwhelmed common sense. The new political algebra divides by infinity: Everything equals everything. Job one and job only is to avoid having the nation's capital turned into a sea of ashes. So forget the economy, the UN, NATO, Congress, the multitudes in the streets. The '90s prosperity bubble was a phantom. The terror bubble is the new, bitter reality.
"The price of being close to the president is delivering bad news. You fail him if you don't tell him the truth." The bad news is that Washington could get truck-nuked and there's very little the US, daffy Swedish inspectors, or anyone else can do about it. It might be possible to invent global political and technical structures that would forestall such a fate, but every time someone comes up with a plan, it gets vetoed or abrogated.
"If a problem has no solution, it may not be a problem, but a fact, not to be solved, but to be coped with over time."How are we coping? By killing one part of the Axis of Evil in cold blood, so as to discourage the others. Now, if only Iran and North Korea would start looking discouraged.
"Victory is never final. Defeat is never fatal. It is courage that counts." A nonexistent Washington, DC, is not the end of history. It's not even a worst-case scenario. It's just the usual terminus of Cold War thinking. True defeat would be DC in flames while people who once loved America caper in the streets with glee. When the planet honors Washington's destroyers as liberators, that is defeat.
"If a problem cannot be solved, enlarge it." The problem is that we lack security. We're not achieving it through the UN, NATO, or any other pre-globalized institution. These outfits just don't work in today's circumstances. We need genuinely new, truly practical institutions. But we're not creating them. Instead, we're feverishly demolishing Rumsfeld's rules.
"Know your customers!" World-class futurists with executive skills are rare. Rumsfeld is the best and most able functionary the administration has. But the man is 70 years old. This is just not his century.Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

The Cuban-American congressional delegation from Miami, Florida, held a press conference denouncing the opening of the U.S. embassy in Havana, Cuba, as well as calling the new Cuban embassy in the United States as a " base" for the Cuban Intelligence Service.
Reps. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, Carlos Curbelo, and Mario Diaz-Balart, all Republicans, each took turns of expressing their anger and disappointment over President Obama's apparent acceptance of the 56-years of human rights violations and acts of terrorism committed by the Castro regime.
Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R) spoke out against Obama's normalization of diplomatic relations with communist Cuba, saying that the president has given the regime a "license to spy" on the U.S.
Diaz-Balart stated that Obama's "failed policy of appeasement, appeasing brutal dictators" has threaten U.S. interests, adding that the "Cuban people have not chosen the Castro brothers" as their legitimate representatives.
The Cuban embassy will represent the Cuban Intelligence Service-Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart (R)
Corbel didn't mince his words either, saying that the Obama administration has legitimized Cuba, an "enemy of the United States."
One of the most reckless foreign policy decisions that we have seen in decades in this decision by the Obama administration to legitimize and embrace a government that has been an enemy of the United States. A government that has abused and repressed its own people every single day of its existence. A government that continues sponsoring terrorism around the world, especially here in our hemisphere.-Rep. Carlos Curbelo (R)
Curbelo also stated that the existing and "robust" Cuban spy network in the U.S. now has a base in which to spy from.

Cashew Maple Banana Pudding with Orange-Scented Berries
This four-ingredient vegan pudding makes a perfect protein-packed breakfast. No berries? Top with whatever fruit you have on hand.
This four-ingredient vegan pudding makes a perfect protein-packed breakfast. No berries? Top with whatever fruit you have on hand.
Blending cashews with lemon juice and hot water creates a luscious cream for this plant-based take on comforting stroganoff. Mushrooms are full of umami taste, which gives the sauce full-bodied flavor in a fraction of the time it takes to make the original beef version.
Don't be intimidated by the idea of making your own vegan yogurt at home – it's so much easier than you think! First, make a super-simple spiced cashew milk from raw nuts, then mix in probiotics to kickstart fermentation. As it's fermenting, you'll start to see air bubbles forming on the surface – this means it's working. If it's not tangy enough after 2 days, let it ferment for another 12 hours.
This creamy carrot cashew sauce with roasted broccoli is a healthy substitute that will fill those cheesy potato cravings. Serve it like you would any traditional cheese sauce over a baked potato or as a sauce for potato gratin or whole-grain pasta, or try serving it fondue-style accompanied by your favorite veggies, crackers, pickles or whole-grain crusty bread for dipping.
Meaty and rich in umami flavor, both shiitake and maitake are delectable additions to these Mushroom Cashew Lettuce Wraps.
Instead of a peanut dipping sauce, try our nutty cashew sauce with a kick of heat, sweetened with just a touch of coconut sugar.
This easy skewered chicken with an Asian-inspired cashew sauce will become a staple in your household throughout the summer – you can marinate the chicken the night before and just throw it on the grill when you get home. Try it with a side of brown rice or quinoa sprinkled with chopped cilantro.
According to the Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health, nutrition research has found that people who regularly consume tree nuts such as cashews are less likely to suffer from a heart attack or die from cardiovascular disease. Just be careful not to go overboard – the US Food and Drug Administration suggests keeping daily consumption to 1 ounce (or one handful) of nuts a day.
Keep these chewy bars handy in your purse or desk drawer for an afternoon snack. Dates and dark chocolate make you feel like you're indulging in a sweet treat, but the Kamut and cashews will help you avoid a blood sugar crash.
Make a batch of protein-rich snacks to have on hand to keep your blood sugar and energy levels from dropping throughout the day.
Slather this vegan burger with a clean cashew cream sauce that is high in protein, magnesium and iron, along with verdant chimichurri sauce and sweet peaches.
