Banks, UN set standards on channelling investments for sustainable development
31 January 2017 Nearly 20 leading global banks and investors, totalling $6.6 trillion in assets, have launched a United Nations-backed global framework aimed at channelling the money they manage towards clean, low carbon and inclusive projects.
The Principles for Positive Impact Finance – a first of its kind set of criteria for investments to be considered sustainable – provide financiers and investors with a global framework applicable across their different business lines, including retail and wholesale lending, corporate and investment lending and asset management.
"Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) – the global action plan to end poverty, combat climate change and protect the environment – is expected to cost $5 to $7 trillion every year through 2030," said the head of the UN Environment Finance Initiative, Eric Usher, in a press release.
The UN Environment Finance Initiative is a partnership between the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) and the global financial sector created in the wake of the 1992 UN Conference on Environment and Development, widely known as the Earth Summit, with a mission to promote sustainable finance. Over 200 financial institutions, including banks, insurers and fund managers, work with UN Environment to understand today's environmental challenges, why they matter to finance, and how to actively participate in addressing them.
"The Positive Impact Principles are a game changer, which will help to channel the hundreds of trillions of dollars managed by banks and investors towards clean, low carbon and inclusive projects," Mr. Usher said.
The Principles provide guidance for financiers and investors to analyse, monitor and disclose the social, environmental and economic impacts of the financial products and services they deliver.
"With global challenges such as climate change, population growth and resource scarcity accelerating, there is an increased urgency for the finance sector both to adapt and to help bring about the necessary changes in our economic and business models," said Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Société Générale, Séverin Cabannes.
"The Principles for Positive Impact Finance provide an ambitious yet practical framework by which we can take the broader angle view we need to meet the deeply complex and interconnected challenges of our time," he added.
The Principles were developed by the Positive Impact Working Group, a group of UN Environment Finance Initiative banking and investment members, as part of the implementation of the roadmap outlined in the Positive Impact Manifesto released in October 2015.
Currently, the Positive Impact Working Group includes: Australian Ethical, Banco Itaú, BNP Paribas, BMCE Bank of Africa, Caisse des Dépôts Group, Desjardins Group, First Rand, Hermes Investment Management, ING, Mirova, NedBank, Pax World, Piraeus Bank, SEB, Société Générale, Standard Bank, Triodos Bank, Westpac and YES Bank.

UN agriculture chief calls for stronger water management, improved access for small farmers
20 January 2017 The head of the United Nations agricultural agency today urged the international community to promote more efficient use of water and to take steps to secure water access, especially for poor family farmers.
Addressing the annual Global Forum for Food and Agriculture now underway in Berlin, the Director-General of the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO), José Graziano da Silva, said that growing water scarcity is one of the leading challenges to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
"Agriculture and food systems bring all of these global goals together and provide opportunities for a transformational change," Mr. Graziano da Silva told participants at the Summit, being held this year around the theme of water and agriculture.
One of the 17 SDGs aims to improve water access for all people, and water is a theme of other goals related to poverty, hunger and malnutrition, and climate change.
In his speech, Mr. Graziano de Silva noted that as the world population is expected to exceed nine billion by 2050, and with millions of family farmers already lacking access to freshwater, conflicts over water resources will increase.
"It is time to act. Improved management of natural resources translates into better livelihoods now and in the future," the FAO Director-General urged.
Last December, the UN agency he heads launched a global framework for coping with water scarcity in agriculture. It aims to support the development and implementation of policies and programmes for sustainable use of water in farming.

Ground-breaking UN-supported digital tool to enhance green finance
20 January 2017 The United Nations environment agency and a the leading Chinese online financial service provider today rolled out an innovative programme at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland, aiming to stimulate the advancement of digital technologies in green finance.
The ground-breaking imitative, the 'Green Digital Finance Alliance,' is a partnership between the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) and Ant Financial Services Group (Ant Financial), China's leading online and mobile financial services provider.
"The Green Digital Finance Alliance is a unique partnership ensuring that we can align tomorrow's fintech-powered (financial technology) global financial system with sustainable development, said Erik Solheim, Executive Director of UN Environment.
Financing sustainable development, as one of the greatest challenges at the moment, requires ambition, innovation, and commitment, underpinned by effective collaboration.
"UN Environment is honoured to partner with Ant Financial in making green finance an integral part of the daily life of every individual and business," he added.
The new initiative is committed to driving environmental risks, opportunities, incentives and choices into the decision-making across the financing value chain. And these can be achieved through market innovation, collaborative action and increased public awareness of sustainable development and green lifestyle choices.
"Ant Financial is a strong believer in green finance. Several of our products and services have been contributing to sustainable development," said Eric Jing, Chief Executive Officer of Ant Financial.
One such innovation is Ant Financial's app, which provides users with a carbon account, in addition to their credit and saving accounts. Ant's 450 million users in China are now able to benchmark their carbon footprint and to earn "green energy" credits for reducing their footprint.
Moreover, Ant Financial has integrated this function into a social media experience, as well as committing to a complementary, tree-planting carbon offset programme. As of today, 72 million users are participating in the app.
"Leveraging mobile Internet, cloud computing and big data, we can encourage our hundreds of millions of users to participate in a green lifestyle," said Mr. Jing, adding that "we hope that the Green Digital Finance Alliance will contribute to shaping and accelerating this development."

UN agency eyes recycling wastewater for large-scale farming
19 January 2017 With agricultural land thirsty and water increasingly scarce, the United Nations agricultural agency is today hosting an international event to discuss the use of municipal liquid waste for farming.
"Properly managed, wastewater can be used safely to support crop production – directly through irrigation or indirectly by recharging aquifers – but doing so requires diligent management of health risks through adequate treatment or appropriate use," the Food and Agricultural Organization said in a press release.
Sound management of wastewater in agricultural production is the focus of a discussion by a group of experts today in Berlin, Germany, at the opening day of the annual Global Forum for Food and Agriculture. The Forum – this year organized around agriculture and water – has been convened by FAO, along with the United Nations University, the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), and the Leibniz Research Alliance.
"Although more detailed data on the practice is lacking, we can say that, globally, only a small proportion of treated wastewater is being used for agriculture, most of it municipal wastewater," said Marlos De Souza, a senior officer with FAO's Land and Water Division.
The use of water recycling is already being used by some small farmers and has shown successful results near cities where wastewater is widely available and inexpensive.
An increasing number of countries are now exploring its use on a larger scale. Among these Egypt, Jordan, Mexico, Spain and the United States.
Participants at the Berlin event will also discuss how to manage risks. The biggest concern is proper treatment of the wastewater, often contains microbes and pathogens, chemical pollution, antibiotic residues, and other threats to the health of farmers, food chain workers, and consumers.

2016 was the hottest year ever recorded – UN weather agency
18 January 2017 The world has just witnessed the hottest year on record, surpassing the exceptionally high temperatures of 2015, the United Nations weather agency reported today, highlighting new records in indicators of human-caused climate change, as well as loss of Artic sea ice.
The globally averaged temperature in 2016 was about 1.1 degree Celsius higher than the pre-industrial period, according to a consolidated analysis by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), continuing the trend in which 16 of the 17 hottest years on record will have been during this century (1998 is the outlier).
"2016 was an extreme year for the global climate and stands out as the hottest year on record," said WMO Secretary-General Petteri Taalas, stressing that "temperatures only tell part of the story."
In a news release, he emphasises that "long-term indicators of human-caused climate change reached new heights in 2016, as carbon dioxide and methane concentrations surged to new records," adding that carbon dioxide, as well as methane concentrations contribute to climate change.
Carbon dioxide remains in the atmosphere for thousands of years, trapping heat and causing the earth to warm further. The lifespan of carbon dioxide in the oceans is even longer. It is also the single most important greenhouse gas emitted by human activities. According to the WMO, carbon dioxide is responsible for 85 per cent of the warming effect on the Earth's climate over the past decade.
Rising sea levels as Greenland glacier melts
Rising temperatures and concentrations of major greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are not the only record-breaking indicators of climate change, also Arctic sea ice remains at very low levels.
"We have also broken sea ice minimum records in the Arctic and Antarctic," Mr. Taalas noted. "Greenland glacier melt – one of the contributors to sea level rise – started early and fast. Arctic sea ice was the lowest on record both at the start of the melt season in March and at the height of the normal refreezing period in October and November," he explained.
Based on WMO consolidated analyses Mr. Taalas also concludes that the "Arctic is warming twice as fast the global average," and adds "the persistent loss of sea ice is driving weather, climate and ocean circulation patterns in other parts of the world."
Extreme weather causing huge socio-economic disruption and losses
Throughout 2016, there were many extreme weather events which caused huge socio-economic disruption and losses.
"The one degree change means that the amount of disasters related to weather and hydrology have been increasing," said Mr Taalas recently in an interview with UN News, adding that "it will have a negative impact on the economies of the countries, and it will also impact the lives and wellbeing of all humans."
WMO has linked weather-related events to conclusions by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), which recently reported 19.2 million new displacements due to weather, water, climate and geophysical hazards in 113 countries in 2015. That number is more than twice the number of people displaced due to human-related conflict and violence.
Record ocean heat contributed to widespread coral reef bleaching, including in the Great Barrier Reef, which has seen up to 50 per cent of its coral die in certain parts.

Climate change will lead to annual coral bleaching, UN-supported study predicts
5 January 2017 If current trends continue and the world fails to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, nearly all of the world's coral reefs will suffer severe bleaching – the gravest threat to one of the Earth's most important ecosystems – on annual basis, the United Nations environment agency today reported.
The finding is part of a study funded by the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) and partners, which reviewed new climate change projections to predict which corals will be affected first and at what rate. The report is published in the journal Nature Scientific Reports .
Researchers found that the reefs in Taiwan and the Turks and Caicos archipelago will be among the first to experience annual bleaching, followed by reefs off the coast of Bahrain, in Chile and in French Polynesia.
Calling the predictions "a treasure trove" for environmentalists, the head of the UN agency, Erik Solheim said the projects allow conservationists and governments to prioritize the protection reef protection.
"The projections show us where we still have time to act before it's too late," Mr. Solheim said.
On average, the reefs will start to undergo annual bleaching starting in 2014, according to the study. Without the required minimum of five years to regenerate, the annual occurrences will have a deadly effect on the corals and disrupt the ecosystems which they support.
However, if Governments act on emission reduction pledges made in the Paris Agreement, which calls on countries to combat climate change and limit global temperature rise to below 2 degrees Celsius, the corals would have another 11 years to adapt to the warming seas.
Between 2014 and 2016, the world witnessed the longest global bleaching event recorded. Among the casualties was the Great Barrier Reef, with 90 per cent of it bleached and 20 per cent of the reef's coral killed.

A committee set up to hammer out the details of a new civilian commission that will oversee the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department arrived at several key recommendations Friday on who should serve on the panel and how the body will get access to internal department records.
The working group will recommend that all current and former employees of the Sheriff's Department be barred from serving on the commission. The committee will also ask the Board of Supervisors to place a measure on the ballot that could give the oversight commission power to subpoena documents from the sheriff.
The recommendations are both measures that had been sought by activists who pushed the supervisors to create a civilian commission.
The working group was divided 4-3 on both measures, with some current and former law enforcement officials on the commission -- including Sheriff's Department Executive Officer Neal Tyler -- opposing them.
Proponents of the ban on former Sheriff's Department employees argued it was needed in light of the criminal charges brought against high-ranking former sheriff's officials and the climate of distrust of law enforcement in certain sectors of the community. The panel will also recommend that current, but not former, members of other law enforcement agencies be excluded.
Just this week, a federal grand jury indicted former Undersheriff Paul Tanaka, once the agency's second highest-ranking figure, on conspiracy and obstruction of justice charges for allegedly concealing the whereabouts of a jail inmate who was working as an FBI informant.
"My personal view is I think it should be even stronger but I think this is a minimum," said former public interest attorney Hernan Vera, who proposed the exclusion on former sheriff's employees. "The reason I wrote it this way as to former members of the Sheriff's Department is those members may have actually known some of the people who are being investigated, have specific knowledge. I think that that is a direct conflict."
May 15, 7:25 p.m.: An earlier version of this post said described Hernan Vera as a public interest attorney. He is a former public interest attorney.
Les Robbins, executive director of the Assn. for Los Angeles County Deputy Sheriffs, called the exclusion "blatantly discriminatory."
"I think it's prejudiced," he said. "If Mr. Vera would like to also exclude from this list of potential applicants attorneys who make their living suing cops and firefighters and governments, I might have a compromise with you."
Others argued that members of the commission must avoid even the appearance of a conflict.
"We just have to look all around the country right now at what a powder keg we're dealing with and how important it is with this group that they have the full public confidence," said working group chair Dean Hansell, a former state and federal prosecutor.
The issue of subpoena power has been an ongoing point of contention. The county's inspector general for the Sheriff's Department, Max Huntsman, has complained that he has been unable to get access to records needed to complete his investigations. Sheriff Jim McDonnell, who supported creation of a civilian commission, has expressed reservations about the legality of releasing personnel records and other confidential documents.
"We don't know what this commission is going to be comprised of in terms of people with open minds and deep reasoning skills," Tyler said. "In a worst case, the commission could be comprised of people that the sheriff feels it would be ill-advised to have subpoena power."
The group also voted to recommend that the commission have nine members, all appointed by county supervisors -- one picked by each of the five supervisors and the remainder by a vote of the full board. Advocates had pushed for some members of the commission to be selected by community groups.
Advocates celebrated the working group's recommendation to call for a vote on subpoena power and to exclude former sheriff's employees.
"I think it's kind of a new day as far as what's going on in Los Angeles County," said Steve Rogers, an activist with the advocacy group Dignity and Power Now.
The supervisors voted in December to create a civilian oversight panel for the Sheriff's Department, in the wake of a series of scandals and federal investigations into the agency, which operates the nation's largest local jail system. They tasked a working group with recommending how it should be structured.
The group's final report is expected in June.

Received my 'movement orders' on Monday and entrained that night at 8.30pm after dining with Yates and Iforde. Had a very good night in the train. Before starting each individual had to draw his iron rations. These consisted of about 1lb of small biscuits and a small tin containing tea and sugar all done up in a linen bag. I learnt to appreciate the value of iron rations more fully in future months, but I don't suppose I was the only one who, on his first introduction to them, thoughts them a tiresome addition to his kit, and left them in the carriage at the end of his first train journey! A large proportion of those issued at the Base must have gone into the mouths of the French urchins who all along the line received us with the cry 'Biscuit - Souvenir'.
Passed Bologne in the early morning and paused for breakfast and wash at Calais about 10.30am. The breakfast was provided by a Y.M.C.A. or Church Army hut and served by two ladies to whom I felt extraordinarily grateful: the wash was provided by an individual who might have been a tramp - but who was dressing in khaki and who presided over a boiler on the platform. He dispensed hot water into whatever receptacle one could provide for oneself. Reached Hazebrouck about 1.30pm and there to my great joy found Colquhoun, also en route to the 2nd E. Bn (Entrenching Battalion). We proceeded in another train in a most leisurely fashion to Poperinge (about 8 miles West of Ypres) where we detrained about 6.30pm and then walked the four miles or so to Camp. The Camp was in an open and muddy field near Ouderdom, S.E. of Poperinge. No warning had been given of our arrival but we were in time to partake of a most filling dinner and were then made extremely comfortable for the night in a tent provided with camp beds and such like luxuries - being my first experience of even the 'back of the front' it no doubt seemed more noisy then it really was but the guns of both sides were in action all the evening and the flashes kept an almost constant glare in the sky to the East.
The previous evening the Battalion had been forced to abandon its camp just across the road and shells were again falling in the same place when we arrived. In fact, one officer was knocked over when going out with a party. Tonight things have been quieter. The country round here is very flat and though perfectly dry now one can imagine what the mud in winter must be like. The roads of course are frightfully cut up by traffic and must become quagmires directly it rains. It is surprising how much of the land still remains cultivated and farming operations are in full swing all around us. Though this is well within the zone of shell fire. All the buildings are the worse for wear and Pop shows many signs of warfare. we are just at the back of the Ypres Salient and of course very heavy fighting has taken place all over this district.
I did not have long to wait before I experienced the mud which in reality was far worse than anything I imagined. Considering the vast amount of traffic and the fact that all our camps were pitched on arable land - very little of the locality being devoted to pasture - it was not surprising that both roads and camps were knee deep in slush. Duck boards formed the only means of cross country communication and when the supply of these failed, movement became almost impossible. My ideas of destruction adjusted themselves before many months. (Added 1918 by AJT - Poperinge in 1916 had suffered from few shells, but was a thriving thickly populated and healthy town compared to what it was afterwards, and even after another 18 months of war, when I last saw it, it was in a good state of repair compared to many places further South.)
Today (Wednesday 5th) we have had nothing to do and this afternoon walked into Pop. to do a little shopping and get exercise. We there ran into Duncan who used to be at Dunree. He has been out nine months with a T.M. Battn (Trench Mortar Battalion). (He looks well after it too) and now wears the M.C. (Military Cross, granted in recognition of acts of extreme bravery). Of this Battn I have as yet seen but little, but the C.O. Major Tuson, 16th Lancers, seems a very good sort, as also the Adjt Neilson, a Scottish Rifleman. The others are a mixture of all regiments; English, Scotch and Irish.
These Entrenching Battalions were Army Troops and were subsequently replaced by units of the Labour Corps - their duty was to construct trenches, assist in the construction of railways or roads, and any other odd job that might be required. Occasionally the work could be done by day, but as a rule it was done at night. The working parties setting out in time to reach their work after dusk. They usually got back to camp about 2 or 3 am and after a drink of hot soup, the men turned in and remained undisturbed till noon - there was one short inspection parade - otherwise nothing except their night work. The Battalion was composed of reinforcement officers and men, temporarily loaned, before joining their own units. Some remained with an Entrenching Battn for months, others got away after only a few days. The CO's view that both officers and men were reinforcements for their regiments and therefore ought to be preserved from unnecessary risk until the regiment got possession of them was correct enough, but it led to very bad training in my opinion - for any shelling of a road or vicinity of a works rendezvous could be taken as an excuse by a windy officer for withdrawing his working party. That would easily give raw troops an exaggerated idea of the danger and lower their morale. It was always a bad thing to let oneself of one's men think that one could not go any where or don anything that one intended.
On the 13th I wrote - Last Thursday there was a great evening hate and we hurriedly decamped to a new ground about a mile back (near Reninghelst) which was being prepared for us but which we did not mean to occupy for another two or three days. By the time we were there the strafe was over, but our own guns kept busy all night.
Our new camp is in a grass field felt and low lying, and therefore, frightfully muddy now that there have been two wet days. However, it may be pleasant enough in summer, for the moment it is uncomfortable as there is no mess but a tent becomes boring when it is one's only accommodation. On Friday, (7th) Maurice (his brother, a Captain in Army Service Corps, killed 1917) turned up in a motor and took me into Poperinge. He lives just the other side of the town and has most comfortable quarters in huts. (His camp, the HQ of the Guards Div Train was in a farm on the East die of the Pop - Proven Road near the junction of that road with the one from Waton). I was then proceeding down country with a draft of 10 Bn KOYLI joining their unit - two other drafts also going at the same time. We put up for the night at Hazebrouck and were most comfortable in the 'rest billets' - an empty hospital, where we got a hot bath. Next day got as far as Abbeville vis Bethune and S'Pol. There the men spent a night in railway carriages. I spent it at an hotel near the station. On Sunday (9th) reached my railhead - Mericourt I'Abbi and marched out to Albert - about 7 miles. I handed over the draft. The courtly down there is much prettier than Flanders - undulating and rather open - as usual, will tilled. The town of Albert is a pitiful sight, the church and centre of the town absolutely laid flat, the remainder much damaged. (In comparison with the damage suffered during 1918, Albert was at this time really intact. The church itself and buildings near it were of course destroyed, but when I passed through it in September 1918, it would have been difficult to find the site of the church 0 the whole town was then flat very literally. In 1916 and for long afterwards, the famous Angle was still leaning outwards form the shattered tower and the prophecy that when it fell the War would cease almost came true).
Beyond, i.e. East of Albert, the ground rises to the now famous plateau on which stood Pozieres - La Boiselle - Ovillers and many other villages of the Somme battlefield. On this Sunday evening there was nothing very war-like about the scene except for a few straggling lines of white chalk marking the position of our communication trenches.
I got a lift back to Mericourt but was too late for a train so the R.T.O. a Captain Hamilton took pity on me and gave me dinner at his Mess where there was a very hospitable party of six. (Mericourt was already becoming a busy railhead and even then a big ammunition dump had been formed in preparation for the July offension).
Slept in a railway carriage and began my return journey at 8am Monday. Breakfasted at Amiens and then had to get out again at Abbeville about noon and found there was no train until 4am next morning. After lunch went for a walk along the Somme canal as it was a lovely day, and in various ways killed time until about 9.30 when I returned to the station. Remainder of the night most uncomfortable, no rest house being provided, only a luggage dump in the R.T.O.'s office (where on could recline on the top of valises, coats, boxes and other odd property of other people's, but when sleep was almost impossible owing to noise and constant arrivals and departures There was no Officers' Club in Abbeville at this time, but an excellent one was opened later).
A friendly TCO did his best and I had a good time on his train between 4.30am and noon when we got out at Hazebrouck. At S Omer I discovered that Geoffrey Baker (OKS) was in the next carriage. He is now a fully fledged RAMC (Royal Army Medical Corps) and just came out from home. At that moment the Huns began to shell the town so we adjourned to a bunk hole (the RTO's) till it was over (It was a very mild strafe really but neither of us were then very used to the fame or we shouldn't have wasted so much time). We then went up to his mess for dinner. They do things in great style and seem most comfortable. I stayed the night in a vacant hut and then got a lift out to Ouderdom in a motor after breakfast. Arrived in camp just before the rain. I t the soaked all day until a gale sprang up in the night which continues today (Thursday). Wish my trip had lasted a day longer!

Stephen Murray became famous in financial circles for seemingly always knowing the right investments to put his money into. This is a skill that you can't learn in college. You either have this ability or you don't. Murray is the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of CCMP Capital.
This is a company that he helped to create. He was the driving force behind its success. It was because of Murray's superb leadership that CCMP Capital was able to overcome some early setbacks to eventually become one of the leaders in a very competitive industry.
Stephen Murray has had a great deal of experience working for some of the most successful and respected financial institutions on the planet. Chemical Bank and JP Morgan Chase are two of his former employers. It was while working for these companies in the 1990s that Murray started to make a name for himself.
He would often stay late and work on weekends to put himself ahead of his fellow employees when it came time to get a promotion. He had a great deal of ambition and he knew from an early age that he was destined to be a very successful person. However, he knew that the power he craved was not going to be given to him. He had to work hard for it. Learn more about Stephen Murray CCMP Capital: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/01/realestate/west-village-townhouse-for-17-million.html?_r=0
Murray devised many methods of maximizing profit and minimizing waste at all of the companies that he worked for. Needless to say, this put him in good favor with his bosses and all of the people in power. His superiors started to invite Murray into meetings where big decisions were made.
He would be privy to decisions that only a few people at the company would be aware of. Many of his bosses would mentor him and give him investment tips that he would later use when he was at the helm of his own company.
Making the decision to leave a steady job to start his own company was not an easy one for Murray. However, being the CEO of a financial firm was something that Stephen Murray CCMP Capital had dreamed about for a long time.
He now had the experience and financial backing to make his dream turn into a reality. He also had the support of many people who were involved in the venture with him. Murray was a very easy choice when it came time for them to choose a CEO.

Sunday, Monday, Happy Days
· I'm thinking of taking steroids to improve my hitting power for the Pretty Damn Lame baseball league. Right now, I have infield-fly-rule power. If I 'roid up, I might be able to attain routine-flyball-to-left power.
· I'm a little concerned about the abruptness of the plot line in Sunday's episode of 'Entourage' in which Vincent Chase's agent, Ari Gold (played by the hilarious Jeremy Piven) invokes the nuclear option and breaks away from his agency to try to form a new one. It feels like it was too much happening in such a short time frame, and perhaps they should have allowed it to build for a few more episodes.
Hopefully, the producers wanted to rush through that part so that they could get to some funnier stuff in upcoming episodes. I hope people don't refer to Sunday's episode as the point when the show 'jumped the shark.'
· Biloxi, MS Mayor A.J. Holloway described Hurricane Katrina as "our tsunami." Get some fucking perspective, you stupid hick. The December tsunami in the Indian Ocean killed OVER 200,000 PEOPLE, while less than 100 people have died as a result of Katrina.
It's tragic when anyone dies (except maybe right wing wackos), and the death toll from Katrina could rise, but let's not be ridiculous Let's leave all the stupid, hyperbolic statements to me.

After our beyond beautiful week in the Bahamas that included volleyball in the pool, a lot of Rice'n'Peas, making friends with a starfish and even feeding sharks we flew back into Miami. At this point we were supposed to jump back in the car and head back to Orlando however we couldn't resist the bright lights and ended up staying another three nights. On our last full day in Miami, prior to the Bahamas, we made some friends at Nikki Beach and they kindly had us stay in their insanely cool penthouse in the heart of Miami city. These photographs were taken on their balcony where you can literally see the whole expanse of the land of loud music, loud cars and loud outfits.
This dress is from MYO fashion who as you will know if you read my last post about losing my Crop Top virginity (if you haven't click here) kindly sent me some fabulous pieces from their summer collection that are all still available on their online shop. This dress was the piece I wanted the most simply because I love the print so much. It reminds me of Japanese cartoon drawings and has an urban vibe while still being an explosion of colour. The fit of the dress is figure hugging which is fun when going out at night but not overwhelming because it has a high neckline and isn't too short. Bear in mind I am 5'10 and it still finishes just above the knee. I wore it here with some plain black courts and a pop of bright pink lipstick. Next time I wear it in London I think I will scrape my hair back and wear big black platforms for a more dangerous and exciting look that suits the punkiness of the dress.
When I told MYO fashion how excited I was about this dress in particular they told me that it constantly sells out whenever they sell it in America so it seemed suitable that for my first go in it I was in the big ol' U.S. of A.

In my "day job", I spend a considerable amount of time driving. Thus, I spend a considerable time listening to the radio. For part of the day, that means listening to some "talk radio".
Most of my readers know that I'm a liberal. I'm a Democrat. But, I listen to conservative talk radio.
I think Glenn Beck can be hilarious and enjoyable to listen to. I admire Rush Limbaugh's analysis of the political scene; and I think Todd Schnitt is much more moderate in his rants than sometimes expected. And yeah, I do still YELL at the radio when they say stuff I totally disagree with. I do draw the line at listening to Michael Savage–he's a loon.
I suppose you could equate my listening to these right-wing conservatives as "liberal re-con" or getting inside the mind of "the enemy". And surprisingly, sometimes…just sometimes…I agree with or understand their viewpoints. It keeps me open and informed.
All of these radio hosts with their considerable talent "on loan from God" are brought to me daily on my radio through area radio station, WBUV News Radio 104.9. WBUV's website alerted me to an interesting tool I would like to tell you about.
If you listen to "talk radio", read political blogs or watch the evening news, you may be aware that voters for the 2008 Presidential Primaries are frustrated with both political parties' roster of available candidates. The statements rise often: "I'm just not sure who to vote for" or "I don't want to vote for any of them" or "I just don't see a clear choice."
So, how do you make a choice between Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and John Edwards? Is John McCain really going to be better than Mike Huckabee? Is Mitt Romney more conservative for me than Rudy Giuliani?
Now, you can match your stance on the issues with the candidates by using the Presidential Calculator from VA JOE.COM
VA JOE aims to be your source for all things military. They are building a community of military servicemembers, veterans and retirees from all branches of the armed forces, along with their spouses and families.
UPDATE: November 2015; VAJOE changed its domain to AllMilitary.Com…Both sites are no longer active.
The Presidential Calculator gives you a list of 24 top issues in the 2008 campaign. The issues range from Abortion Rights and Assault Weapons Ban to The Fair Tax and Internet Neutrality. You pick your stand on each issue and gauge its importance to you. If you are unsure of your stance, you can read a very well written, yet brief summary of the issue and objective views "for" or "against" the topic. Then you have the calculator match you to the candidate that best supports and defends your interests.
You shouldn't let the calculator TELL you who to vote for; but it does give you the percentages of what candidates best suit you. From there, you can do further research on the candidate.
I took the calculator test knowing full well that MY candidate would be certainly confirmed by the answers I plugged in. I was shocked to find that The Calculator had another candidate in mind. My candidate only matched 77% with my concerns. You can bet that I did some further reading on my choices, although I'm still not sure I agree with the Calculator's results. I can also tell you that my wife's original choice was not who the Calculator chose, either. But, her Calculator match was certainly a surprise for us. (Don't worry…it's liberal; wayyyyyy liberal)
On February 5, 2008, 24 states go to the polls to pick their parties' candidate for the General Election. I encourage you to try out The Presidential Calculator and then do your research. Pick a candidate that best suits your convictions and your vision of where you want America to be. You may think there is no "clear choice", but it is your duty to make the most clear and informed choice.
And hey…if you'd like; come back here after you use The Calculator and let me know who you were going to vote for, what the Calculator showed you, and if it affects your choice.
UPDATE: November 2015; Since VAJOE is no longer in service; I suggest "ISIDEWITH". Another great calculator, that asks great issue questions, and lets you modify issue stances to a more personal view, just click on "View Other Stances" or "More Stances".
"Getting Political" is a semi-regular feature of "On The Road With Dave". While Dave is no political pundit by any stretch of the imagination; "Getting Political" allows him to stretch that imagination.

Supplies used:
Bazzill, white
Patterned paper from My Mind's Eye - the Abbey Road collection
Tiny Alphabet letters from Making Memories
"always" is from a Doodlebug Headlines set
"play" are mixed letters from sets where I only had a few letters left. Random manufacturers.
Prima flowers & leaves
How to:
1. Cut your photos into desired size & shape.
2. Cut the dotted paper (Whirlybird/Blossom) into shape by tracing the outline of the Whirlybird/Friends Forever-paper. Place it at the back. Rough up the edges with scissors, edge scrapers or sanding block, for instance.
3. Cut and tear the other papers into desired size and shape. (I'm sorry I can't give you any measurements. I used odd sized photos and just cut the papers where I thought it looked good. No measuring at att here.)
Rough up all the edges.
4. Line up the photos where you want them and draw some thin lines with an eraseable pencil, to see what parts of the pattern would be lying under the photos. Cut out the shapes and designs you want to be on top.
I use my amazing Making Memories craft knife to this kind of work. It's precise and very comfortable to hold, even if you cut a lot. :)
5. Use a edge punch or craft knife to create a nice border strip of one of the patterned papers. Place it under the photos.
6. Fit the photos in under the cut out parts, and glue it all down.
7. Add the title, and date/place. Embellish as desired.
8. Glue down all the patterned papers to the Bazzill, and rough up the edges.
8. You're done! Hope you like it. :)

Glumetza Dosing
For those who are beginning treatment for type 2 diabetes with Glumetza, dosing guidelines recommend 1000 mg once a day. For those who are already taking insulin, the recommended dosage is 500 mg, taken once daily. Depending on your response to the medication, your daily Glumetza dosing may be gradually increased up to 2000 mg.
The dosing of Glumetza® (metformin hydrochloride extended-release) your healthcare provider prescribes will vary, depending on a number of factors, including:
- How well your diabetes is controlled
- Other medical conditions you may have
- Other medications you are currently taking.
As is always the case, do not adjust your dose unless your healthcare provider specifically instructs you do to so.
The recommended starting dose of Glumetza for the treatment of type 2 diabetes is Glumetza 1000 mg, taken once daily with your evening meal. Your healthcare provider may slowly increase your dose (by 500 mg per week), if necessary, up to 2000 mg once daily. Increasing the dose slowly helps to avoid intestinal side effects, such as diarrhea and gas. If a single daily dose of Glumetza 2000 mg does not adequately control your blood sugar, your healthcare provider may decide to have you take Glumetza 1000 mg twice a day instead.
The starting dose of Glumetza for people taking insulin is typically 500 mg, taken once a day. The maximum total daily dose for people taking insulin is Glumetza 2000 mg. Usually, when adding Glumetza to insulin, you should continue with your normal insulin dose.

Low-extremity osteoarthritis (OA) patients who use opioids or antidepressants have a greater risk of repeated falls, researchers found.
Compared to those not taking any analgesics, knee OA patients who used opioids had a 22% increased risk of recurrent falls in the following year (adjusted RR 1.22, 95% CI 1.04-1.45, P=0.02).
This is the first study to examine the risk of recurrent falls with arthritis analgesics, reported Wei-Hsuan Lo-Ciganic, PhD, of the University of Arizona College of Pharmacy, and colleagues in Osteoarthritis and Cartilage.
The researchers also found that OA patients using antidepressants had a 25% higher probability of falling two or more times (adjusted RR 1.25, 95% CI 1.10-1.41, P<0.0001).
"Recurrent falls may be more clinically meaningful than a single fall, since multiple falls may signal physical and cognitive deficits, as well as increased risk for subsequent falls and mobility decline in older adults," they wrote.
The researchers studied 4,231 patients from the Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI), a longitudinal cohort study. The study recruited people from 45 to 79 years old with or at risk of knee OA in four U.S. cities from 2004 to 2006. Participants consisted primarily of women (58.4%) with an average age of 61.3±9.2 years and an average body mass index of 28.5±4.8.
The study followed the analgesic and nutraceutical use in OAI participants for 36 months and recurrent falls for 48 months. Because OA patients commonly take multiple pain medications, the researchers classified participants into six exclusive groups, ranked by the analgesic potency and central nervous system effects of the agents they used:
- Opioids, oral or transdermal
- Antidepressants in absence of opioids
- Other prescription pain medication including NSAIDs, salicylates, or triptans in absence of opioids or antidepressants
- Over-the-counter NSAIDs or acetaminophen in absence of prescription drugs
- Nutraceuticals like chondroitin, glucosamine, methylsulfonylmethane, or S-adenosylmethionine
- No pain medication
After adjusting for relevant confounders such as pain severity and depression, the authors observed that participants who used opioids or antidepressants had significantly increased rates of recurrent falls in the following year.
"Our findings were generally consistent with prior reports that suggest opioids and antidepressants increase risk for falls in older adults," they said. "Clinical management of OA pain with opioids or antidepressants in older patients at risk of falls warrants caution."
Lo-Ciganic and colleagues were not surprised at these results, since opioids can cause drowsiness, dizziness, and cognitive impairment and antidepressants may contribute to impaired alertness and neuromuscular function, sedation, insomnia and confusion.
Opioids and a higher number of combination medications were associated with severe pain, as the researchers expected. "Notably, participants in the opioids and antidepressants groups had higher proportions of concurrent use of other psychotropic medications (e.g., benzodiazepines), exposing them to cumulatively higher risks of falls," they wrote.
Over the 36-month period, opioid use increased from 2.7% to 3.6%, while the use of other prescription pain medications decreased from 16.7% to 11.9%. Women used opioids and antidepressants more than men. Patients taking opioids had higher comorbidity burden, more significant depression symptoms, and poor self-reported health.
The investigators also observed that half of the participants took prescription or over-the counter NSAIDs or acetaminophen, the recommended initial analgesic for OA pain. They suggested that a trend toward fewer non-opioid drugs might reflect increased awareness about NSAIDs' adverse gastrointestinal, renal, and cardiovascular effects or the removal of rofecoxib and valdecoxib from the U.S. market.
They noted, too, that one-third of patients consumed nutraceuticals, despite the lack of medical guidelines supporting their use.
Strengths of this study included its prospective design, its large sample size, and its ability to adjust for confounders like pain severity and depression.
Limitations included the fact that recurrent falls were self-reported retrospectively. "The true rate may be underestimated, compared with rates ascertained by more frequent prospective monitoring," the authors said. Because the study collected medication data annually, it did not capture changes or discontinuation in medication between assessments. The researchers also did not have any information to determine relationships between drug doses and recurrent falls.
More than 80% of the opioid group participants used multiple pain medications, as the authors had expected. "Given the overall infrequent opioid use (<5%) in our sample, we do not have sufficient power to stratify our analyses by those on opioid monotherapy versus [those] on opioids with other analgesics," they noted.
The OAI is a public-private partnership funded by the National Institutes of Health. One of the study's researchers, C. Kent Kwoh, MD, received grant funding from Abbvie and EMD Serono. No other authors reported conflicts of interest.

BapCod is a prototype code that solves Mixed Integer Programs (MIP) by application of a Dantzig-Wolfe reformulation technique. The reformulated problem is solved using a branch-and-price (column generation) algorithm. The specificity of this prototype is to offer a "black-box" implementation of the method:
- the input is the set of constraints and variables of the MIP in its natural/ compact formulation;
- the user specifies which of these constraints and variables define the subsystems on which the decomposition is based (it is handy to test different decompositions);
- the reformulation is automatically generated by the code, without any input from the user to define master columns, their reduced cost, pricing problem, or Lagrangian bound;
- a default column generation procedure is implemented that relies on an underlying MIP solver to handle master and subproblem but the user can upload a specific subproblem solver;
- a branching scheme that preserves the pricing problem structure is offered by default; it runs based on priorities and directives specified by the user on the original variables;
- default primal heuristics and preprocessing features are under developments.

Editor's Note: Any reference to TheStreet Ratings and its underlying recommendation does not reflect the opinion of TheStreet, Inc. or any of its contributors including Jim Cramer or Stephanie Link. NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HPQ) has been reiterated by TheStreet Ratings as a hold with a ratings score of C+. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its solid stock price performance, impressive record of earnings per share growth and compelling growth in net income. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including poor profit margins and weak operating cash flow.
- EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Jim Cramer's Protégé, Dave Peltier, only buys Stocks Under $10 that he thinks could potentially double. See what he's trading today with a 14-day FREE pass.
- Powered by its strong earnings growth of 120.91% and other important driving factors, this stock has surged by 72.66% over the past year, outperforming the rise in the S&P 500 Index during the same period. Regarding the stock's future course, our hold rating indicates that we do not recommend additional investment in this stock despite its gains in the past year.
- HEWLETT-PACKARD CO reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past year. We feel that this trend should continue. This trend suggests that the performance of the business is improving. During the past fiscal year, HEWLETT-PACKARD CO turned its bottom line around by earning $2.62 versus -$6.45 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($3.66 versus $2.62).
- The company's current return on equity greatly increased when compared to its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a signal of significant strength within the corporation. Compared to other companies in the Computers & Peripherals industry and the overall market on the basis of return on equity, HEWLETT-PACKARD CO has underperformed in comparison with the industry average, but has exceeded that of the S&P 500.
- The gross profit margin for HEWLETT-PACKARD CO is currently lower than what is desirable, coming in at 25.74%. It has decreased from the same quarter the previous year. Along with this, the net profit margin of 4.85% significantly trails the industry average.
- Net operating cash flow has decreased to $2,816.00 million or 30.62% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, when comparing the cash generation rate to the industry average, the firm's growth is significantly lower.

"Road to Nowhere" is a rock song written by David Byrne for the 1985 Talking Heads album Little Creatures. It also appeared on Best of Talking Heads, Sand in the Vaseline: Popular Favorites, the Once in a Lifetime box set and the Brick box set. The song was released as a single in 1985 and reached number 25 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks and number 6 in the British, German and South African[1] singles charts. It also made number 8 on the Dutch Top 40.
"I wanted to write a song that presented a resigned, even joyful look at doom," recalls David Byrne in the liner notes of Once in a Lifetime: The Best of Talking Heads. "At our deaths and at the apocalypse… (always looming, folks). I think it succeeded. The front bit, the white gospel choir, is kind of tacked on, 'cause I didn't think the rest of the song was enough… I mean, it was only two chords. So, out of embarrassment, or shame, I wrote an intro section that had a couple more in it."
The video for the song was directed by Byrne and Stephen R. Johnson and features the band and various objects revolving, as if in their own "road to nowhere". It was nominated for "Best Video of the Year" at the MTV Video Music Awards 1986. Some parts were shot in the back yard and pool of actor Stephen Tobolowsky, who was co-writing Byrne's film True Stories at the time.[2] Director Johnson re-used some of the effects techniques in award-winning videos for Peter Gabriel the following year: "Sledgehammer" and "Big Time".

Why the TSA Lawsuit Against Whole Body Imagers Concerns Everyone
TSA declares sorority book could be a BOMB...
The Rutherford Institute has filed a lawsuit against the TSA over its unregulated use of whole body imagers, which have been likened to virtual strip searches, in the nation's airports. Security experts have described whole body scanners as the equivalent of "a physically invasive strip-search."
As far back as 2010 The Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) said that the program is "unlawful, invasive, and ineffective." and violated our Fourth Amendment. But our injustice system found in the governments favor. How many lawsuits will it take to force our government to abide by the Constitution?
"We are the unwitting victims of a system so corrupt that those who stand up for the rule of law and aspire to transparency in government are in the minority." said John Whitehead.
"This corruption is so vast it spans all branches of government, from the power-hungry agencies under the executive branch and the corporate puppets within the legislative branch to a judiciary that is, more often that not, elitist and biased towards government entities and corporations. The whole body imaging scanners are a perfect example of this collusion between corporate lobbyists and government officials," Whitehead said.

Representative William Tong applauds the decision of Germany-based Henkel Corp. to relocate its Laundry & Home Care and Beauty Care headquarters across the country from Arizona to Stamford where the company plans on expanding in a $50 million project that will create up to 266 new jobs in the state.
Rep.

"To confront gun violence in our city, we need to do this together," Tong said. For more, read the Stamford Advocate.
Rep. William Tong joins Vice President Joe Biden, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy and officials from throughout the nation to discuss ways to keep communities safer by reducing gun violence. "In our own state, we have been working hard to reduce the violence, and I believe this conference will help our efforts," Tong says.
The Hartford Courant features a Dan Haar column praising the CT 500 Project for creating 500,000 new private sector jobs over the next 25 years.

TENS Units
By Kia Soden
Having never used a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator (TENS Unit) before, I was a bit hesitant to try it out. After a long run, my hamstrings became overwhelmingly tight. On this run I decided to push a little longer and faster than I normally would. Immediately after, my legs were very sore and I was in a lot of pain. With every step, my legs felt tighter and tighter. This has happened many times before, and I decided it was time to find a permanent solution. (TENS Units)
When I got home, I began researching the idea of using a natural pain therapy versus over-the-counter pain medications. Interestingly enough, TENS Units kept appearing in my results. The thought of an electrical muscle simulator sending electrical pulses throughout my body seemed a bit extreme and unnecessary for my muscular pain. After doing some more research on TENS Units and what they could do to help with pain relief, I found that a company called HealthmateForever produced the best reviewed TENS Unit. (TENS Units)
They also provided extensive knowledge about thousands of years of Traditional Chinese Medicine on their site to support the science that goes into every TENS Unit they make. I went ahead and purchased an NK6GL Model TENS Unit and after the first use I was able to tell an immediate difference in the pain throughout my legs. My muscles felt more relaxed, and I no longer had trouble completing the simple task of just walking. I completely forgot about the pain I was in just a day prior. The Healthmate Forever TENS Unit is a pain therapy system that really helps relax the muscle to take the pain away. I then went on another jog knowing confidently that I had found my golden ticket to muscle recovery and pain relief. (TENS Units)
A Natural Pain Therapy System Allows for No Compromises
As an exercise physiologist with a bachelor's degree in exercise and movement science, fitness is extremely important to me. Weightlifting, rock climbing, running, and practicing yoga are huge hobbies of mine and though I try to sufficiently rest, I am a believer of pushing my body past its limits to obtain strength and skill to excel at my hobbies. (TENS Units)
Unfortunately, my determination also comes with muscle soreness and overuse injuries. In the past, these discomforts have inhibited me from continuing my hobbies for weeks at a time. When I had an injury I would focus on stretching and resting the problem area with the help of harmful pain medications. For a majority of the time, it would take days until I was fully healed. Any hobbies that included movement were off-limits for a while. (TENS Units)
Using the Healthmate Forever TENS Unit, I was able to shorten the recovery time and fully relax each target muscle as I please while never sacrificing my natural way of living and active lifestyle. On the days I run or do other strenuous work, I place the Healthmate Forever TENS Unit on the back of my thigh with the leg massaging setting with instant relief. Not only were my leg muscles fully relaxed, but the massage mode helped remove the tightness in my muscles. The pain of walking and going upstairs disappeared and after a second use of the TENS Unit, I was able to run longer and faster than the previous run. I am so happy that the Healthmate Forever TENS Unit works so well and truly allows me to practice my hobbies without the fear of hurting myself. (TENS Units)

Is this the moment we've been waiting for?
Is Bitcoin's price about to turn from its recent negative trend (going dowwwwn) to a new bull-market to retest December's all-time-high of $20,000!?
Today, the Bitcoin price spiked through a few significant resistance points on the four hour chart, including breaking above the Ichimoku cloud as shown in dark red — a significant indicator used by traders to time buy opportunities.
Todays gain of 10% is significant. We've seen that a few times over the past few weeks.
But the difference today is that the price is pushing against a very significant long-term trendline as shown:
If Bitcoin breaks through that downtrend resistance, traders will take that very seriously as a potential signal that a new breakout phase has begun.
And then today's 10% spike might soon blossom into strong price action in the coming days.
Targets for traders would include the 200 day moving average line (currently sitting at $9,543), and also the next horizontal resistance area (around $11,536):
But I dunno though…
Will December's price crash soon become a fading memory..?
Or will a Government somewhere spook the market again by 'banning Bitcoin' (as if we haven't heard that rumour enough times already).
If you're a seasoned crypto investor pro, good luck making maximum gains.
If you're a crypto newbie and would like education, a friendly community and the best Bitcoin app this side of Saturn, register for an account today and you could buy Bitcoin within just a few short hours from now (or even less).
Our new verification process happens instantly for many European customers.
If you're in the UK, you can make an instant bank transfer (up to £7,500) to your Wirex currency account and exchange as much of the balance as you wish, at any moment you choose, whenever the price chart looks good to you.
You can also exchange it back from Bitcoin to traditional currency again (like GBP, USD or EUR).
It's an addictive hobby. And one proving to be very lucrative for the people who time the market well… or store their Bitcoin as a longer-term investment.
Bitcoins price rose about 1500% during 2017!
Compared to just 15% for the S&P500 (major US stocks).
Rumour has it that we'll be including Litecoin exchange and wallet on our platform within just a few weeks too.
Litecoin went up 5X more than even Bitcoin!
Bet you didn't hear that on the nightly news…
Wirex offers you choice.
We share a lot of price action updates inside the members community area if you're interested.
Never invest more than you can afford to lose. Do your own research. And welcome to the best blockchain personal finance platform… you know, like I said before… this side of Saturn.

An urban nation
In the past, it was easy to tell where the city ended and countryside began. In the course of the 20th century, the difference between urban and rural became increasingly blurred. Cities have transformed into urban regions with a wide variety of spaces and functions. People have also become much more mobile and have adopted much more complex lifestyles in their work and leisure time.
In order to define and delineate urban areas, Eurostat and the OECD use a harmonised definition that makes a distinction between 'cities' (municipalities of more than 50,000 residents) and 'commuting zones' (municipalities with a significant commuting relationship to the urban cores). Almost three quarters of the Dutch population live in urban areas, making the Netherlands one of the most urbanised countries in Europe.
Most of the jobs in the Netherlands can be found in the urban areas. These also have the highest share of knowledge workers and attract the most foreign immigrants. The high population density and concentration of human activity in cities has disadvantages as well, for example, in terms of air pollution and waste.
Source data
This graphic is based on data provided by LISA (data on employment), Statistics Netherlands (CBS) and the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM). The classifications of 'City', 'Commuting zone' and 'Rural area' are based on the definition by the OECD (2012).

Awfully Good Movies: Jaws 3-D (Video)
Jaws 3-D (1983)
Director: Joe Alves
Stars: Dennis Quaid, Louis Gossett Jr., Bruce the Shark
This week, everyone's favorite amnesiac fish Dory is gonna "just keep swimming" to find her lost family in FINDING DORY, so let us mark the occasion with a movie starring everyone's favorite killer fish... JAWS 3-D! Yep, Universal not only had the balls to make yet another sequel to Steven Spielberg's legendary blockbuster, but also filmed it...in glorious 3D! (The red-and-blue type of 3D that made you dizzy, mind you, not the AVATAR-type 3D.) But when you take away the 3D, does this tale of a killer shark who manages to destroy SeaWorld even more than the movie BLACKFISH hold up to its predecessor? Well, don't worry...y'all know who I am, know how I earn a livin'. I'll catch that 3-D shark for ya...the head, the tail, the whole damn thing. Just as long as I don't have to review JAWS: THE REVENGE...because fuck that movie, for real.
And if you liked this episode of Awfully Good Movies, come on down here and chum on some these latest episodes...
|Extra Tidbit:
|Originally, JAWS producers David Brown and Richard Zanuck were going to make the third flick a JAWS spoof called JAWS 3, PEOPLE 0. The guys behind ANIMAL HOUSE wrote a script for it, Joe Dante was gonna direct it, and Spielberg himself thought it was a great idea. But Universal killed the project and made this flick instead, which was directed by JAWS 1 & 2 production designer Joe Alves in his only directorial effort.
