Well, well well, at a time when many people will be pondering what methods to use to roast their turkeys this Christmas, footballers continue their all year round roasting campaign with even more shocking news coming out of the Man Utd camp.
THE girl "roasted" by Manchester United players at their Christmas party bragged drunkenly afterwards: They said I was great in bed.
The pretty reveller, aged around 19, had just had sex with five or six men, including three United players.
Their jeers and her moans were overheard by a sickened party guest. She said yesterday:
I was upstairs in the hotel gossiping with a friend when I heard cheering and clapping noises coming from one of the rooms.
We could hear the voices of around five or six men - together with the groaning noises of a girl who was clearly having sex.
The men were shrieking like hyenas and shouting, 'Get in there'. My mate and I sat shocked as it was so vile.
After a few minutes the men filed out of the room laughing, and rushed downstairs for more booze.
I recognised three of them as members of the Manchester United squad - one of them a well-known name.
Posh ... hotel where Man U players were involved in roasting
The girl then came staggering out boasting she had just had sex with all the men.
She was clearly very drunk and very pretty, and probably about 19 years old.
I asked if she was OK and she said, 'Yeah, of course. Why wouldn't I be? They said I was a great shag' and then she hobbled down the corridor.
She looked as if she was in a bit of pain. After that me and my mate left. I was shocked by the idea there had been an orgy at the party. It felt so sleazy.
Details of the sordid session at Manchester's plush Great John Street Hotel on Monday night emerged following claims by a 26-year-old that she was raped at the bash.
The girl told police that Northern Ireland international Jonny Evans attacked her after she went upstairs with him following a dance.
Evans, 19, has denied the accusation, telling pals: "I didn't do it."
Cops have heard about grubby antics including beauties being passed around "like pieces of meat".
Many revellers visited a casino and a pub before heading to the hotel.
Nearly 100 girls were there including models, ex-soap stars and well-known faces from Manchester's party circuit. But there were no wives or girlfriends.
Last night the alleged rape victim remained in the Greater Manchester area as police continued to gather evidence and statements from her.
Meanwhile United stars tried to put the party scandal behind them as they visited sick children.
Skipper Neville along with Scholes and Hargreaves cheered up kids at Booth Hall Children's Hospital in Blackley, Manchester.
They handed out presents including one to little Huber Tanny, six.
Giggs and Rooney joined boxer Ricky "The Hitman" Hatton to raise money for charity at Royal Manchester Children's Hospital.
Ricky, a keen fan of rivals Manchester City, wore a blue Santa hat while Wayne wore a red one as they gave a present to Josh Hodgin, 11.
The Old Trafford players make hospital visits every Christmas.
I'm confused by all this, why were some of the girls disgusted? You were invited to a party with no wives or girlfriends allowed, what were you honestly expecting, a civillised tea party? I love the way the Man Utd players think giving presents to children will vindicate them of any wrong doing. The girl said she heard people saying "get in there", what odds on her also hearing the immortal words "you got merked!!!!" Yes, we know you were there Rio.

(Reuters) - Australia piled up the highest ever total in a Twenty20 international on the way to a crushing 85-run victory over Sri Lanka in Pallekele on Tuesday.
Glenn Maxwell smashed 145 not out off 65 balls, including nine sixes and 14 fours, to propel the touring side to a score of 263 for three, beating Sri Lanka's 260 for six against Kenya in 2007.
Australia's world record was set a week after England plundered 444 for three against Pakistan, the largest team total in an ODI.

Travis Head lifted a leg-side full toss from Thisara Perera for six to beat the record after Maxwell, opening in place of the injured Aaron Finch, flayed his maiden T20 international century.
Maxwell's knock was the second highest individual innings in a Twenty20 international, behind only Finch's 156 against England in 2013.
Australia fast bowlers Scott Boland and Mitchell Starc picked up three wickets each as Sri Lanka subsided meekly to 178 for nine, Dinesh Chandimal top-scoring with 58.
The teams meet in the second and final Twenty20 game on Friday in Colombo.

The Technology Integration Matrix, compiled by the Florida Center for Instructional Technology, may give teachers another, more detailed way to assess how they using technology, and with the inclusion of examples, could inspire new ideas to meaningfully use technology as a tool to support curriculum and students in their journey to becoming self-directed, life-long learners.
The matrix is organized into Levels of Technology Use, starting with Entry to growing to the highest level of Transformation, and the Characteristics of the Learning Environment (active, collaborative, constructive, authentic, goal directed). Each of those levels are broken down into a more specific descriptions of the student, teacher, and environment and at each intersection a description is given to frame what is happening with the technology and with the learning activities. Included with each is level are video example and lesson description for each core curriculum subject.
This matrix provides teachers a tool to evaluate how technology is being used in their classrooms with detailed examples of what may be happening in a classroom and of what could be happening in a classroom transitioning from a traditional, teacher-led classroom to a student-centered environment.
What are some ways you are using technology to supporting life-long learning?

It's funny how everyone assumes their childhood is "normal" until they reach an aha moment of Wait, was just that just us? It wasn't until I got older and started hanging out at other people's houses or chatting with friends about what my favorite meals or treats were that I realized maybe my family's menus were a little atypical.
I grew up in a household that looking back was pretty healthy: no soda except for birthdays and sleepovers, if mom bought "chips" it was usually just Goldfish, cereal was always super grainy or fibery (Captain Crunch has literally never been inside my home) fish was on the menu at least 2 – 3 nights a week; and dinner was never complete without a freshly steamed vegetable.
To this day I can recall being in middle school and finding it mind blowing my friend's mother was preparing broccoli with melted cheese. I remember staring at my plate thinking, wait— this comes more ways than just steamed? How insane! Later, as I started developing more of a palette, I also realized that even broccoli that appeared to be "plain" was often prepared in butter, or steamed but seasoned with salt and pepper. This was all truly mind blowing. Where had I been? Where had my family been? Was everyone doing these things?
Well, tonight I found myself standing in Publix with my mind blown yet again.
Jon and I had been planning to have pumpkin soup as our main course for dinner but I knew I'd require a vegetable in order for the meal to really feel complete (old habits die hard). Naturally, I hopped on Pinterest and started looking for something fun that didn't involve brussel sprouts or butternut squash (not hating, just wanted something different). After some serious scrolling, I landed on a picture of roasted broccoli. ROASTED. BROCCOLI.
Again— what??? This recipe turned out to be not only a game changer in the broccoli world but also incredibly addicting!
Broccoli florets
1/8 Teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
1/8 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
¼ Cup Almond Slivers
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
1/8 Teaspoon Salt
1 Lemon (the juice of)
Parmesan Cheese (to taste)
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees
2. Chop the florets in halves or thirds, just so the bites would be manageable. I placed the almonds and broccoli florets in a plastic Ziploc bag and tossed them in 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
3. Place florets onto a baking tray and season with garlic powder, salt, and red pepper flakes. Squeeze lemon over the tray. Bake broccoli in the oven for 20 – 25 minutes until the florets start to deflate and the buds start to turn brown)
4. After the tray has been removed from the oven, sprinkle with parmesan cheese (thinly shaved fresh parm would probably be awesome but I just used the container we have for spaghetti)
This was perfect right out of the oven but if it does start to cool down, try and fight the urge to warm it up in the microwave. We found that while the microwave didn't add a ton of moisture, eating it room temp (and still a little crispy) was actually a better way to go!

(Reuters) Russia's Putin says shrinking labor force to limit economic growth. Quoting,
"This trend will stay for the coming years and will become a serious limit to economic growth," Putin told lawmakers. "
Vladimir Putin, you're right. But why? Why does our disorderly society outperform one structured by a few "masterminds", free to implement supposedly optimal policies without conflict?
Alienation, provoked by the sense of personal impotence, is the cause. You've tried to stem it with patriotism. It fails to stir Russia to growth because it works only for followers. It fails with anyone who has the human potential to participate, even to the minutest degree, in changing society in a positive way.
These people need something else to flourish. In a dynamic society, thinkers comprise a much larger slice than you might think. They are all over the place. It includes all those who contribute, in the minutest way, their personal visions of society. In Russia, these little seeds of thought scatter, without germinating, to the winds. Their alienated owners live stunted lives. In Russia, the soil of change is barren.
In Russia, bad things happen to the best people. No society can waste so much human potential and flourish. No society can idealize a dark past to become a model for the future, and flourish.
Grandeur is part of the problem, not the solution. Jeff Bezos uses a door as his desk. Visible displays of wealth occur everywhere. But particularly in Russia, pride of wealth has displaced pride of innovation. I suggest you introduce the door.
When you look at us, you see a disordered bunch, and wonder, how can a society with so much misdirection have created so much of the 20th century, and continue our dynamism into the present? What is our secret?
It's hidden in plain view. There are so many of us, who are much less than leaders, yet so much more than followers. We each have our spheres, some tiny, some large. We have the opportunity to influence, if just minutely, everything we touch. And we use it. You see chaos in what is really our garden of change. That's our secret.
Having replaced the destructive disorder of the Yeltsin years with sterile concentrations of power, your next challenge is to create the soil of change, replacing alienation with involvement. You can't supply the seed of what is to grow, only the soil. Pick a few weeds, but use no poison.
All the good thing will follow.

Food Ban Insanity
In an Ottawa daycare, a dastardly crime was committed. Someone brought in a cheese sandwich! By accident no less! A two year old gets suspended for 3 days. It's a big news story. Someone will ask to launch a provincial commission, surely. What brought this on? The broad brush of banned foods because of potential food allergies.
Of course, whenever this kind of story hits the news, there are the usual frantic cries from parents who believe their children have life threatening allergies. My child could die, they claim. While sadly there are some children who have legitimate serious allergies, there is increasing evidence that the numbers of actual cases are far less than the claims.
A study by The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) poses some very disturbing questions and uncovered some very troubling facts. They have completed a long term study that supports the notion that there is an unnecessary crisis of a "self diagnosed food allergy" fury.
I've watched as some of the same parents who claim their children are in imminent danger will happily bring their kids past the peanut isle in the grocery store with no problem. I have watched with amusement as they pull into the local donut store before or after picking up their child from daycare. Last time I checked, most donut shops used egg, dairy and nut products.
What the population is most likely also not aware, in many jurisdictions the parent does not have actually prove to the school that their child has a life threatening allergy. No actual clinical and medical diagnosis is required, at all. They can simply claim it and that is good enough. Essentially we have allowed over-exaggerating parents who simply are too easily manipulated by daytime TV doctors or so called health expert gurus, to dictate day to day policy for the rest of us.
When the banning of peanuts, dairy, egg products and other foods are applied with a broad brush in schools and daycares, it is truly a hindrance to the good health of all the other children. What is basically left for children to ingest is sugary juices and some fruit and vegetables. While fruit and vegetables are healthy, they by themselves do not offer the necessary over-all nutrition that children require to grow healthy. Children need calcium products, proteins, fruits, vegetables and grains throughout the day. Forcing children to limit their food choices because of the imaginary fear of a parent who has given their child a self diagnosis, is sheer madness.
What also advances this self diagnosis problem is a subculture of "online-mommy" groups dedicated to the Food Allergy issues. The militant advice is to "advise" their followers that they should claim that ALL their child's food allergies are potentially life threatening. Truth is not a factor in the minds of these activists. Their mantra is that all food allergies can cause death, regardless of actual medical proof or not. That type of online culture propagates a group-think psychosis that their children are actually in danger of life threatening anaphylaxis at any given moment.
While I hate it, I do understand the dilemma of why administrations in school and daycare have no choice but to apply the broad banning of foods. They simply do not have the the resources to challenge the parents with these type of bogus claims. Schools then are left to ban everything, "just to be safe". Again, it's lunacy.
It's high time that daycares and schools require a doctor to provide an actual diagnosis certificate that has been validated by the proper allergy assessment protocols. Only then should any food bans be considered.

ricotta with figs and comb honey and oatmeal bread with dried fruit and pecans
One of the best things about having a 20-something daughter who lives in Brooklyn on the border of Williamsburg and Greenpoint (hipster alert!)–aside from the whole "gainfully-employed, self-supporting, I-moved-out-and-mom-turned-my-room-into-a-kitchen-annex" thing–is that when we come to visit, we have a dizzying array of incredible restaurants to choose from. Truly–along with the pleasure of seeing our totally cool kid–it makes that bumper-to-bumper drive on the Long Island Distressway completely worthwhile. The Brooklyn of my youth–when even entertaining the idea of venturing there would strike fear into the hearts of our parents–has certainly changed and among other things, it's a foodie paradise.
Our latest visit found us brunching at 5 Leaves on Bedford Avenue, a tiny little place on the corner with a casual neighborhood vibe and friendly staff. Mr. Dough had the Big Brekkie with a side of swoon-worthy bacon, Junior Dough the Mushroom Toast and I went for the Moroccan Scramble–eggs, chickpeas, avocado, sourdough and merguez–all delightful. But the highlight was the starter we shared–house made ricotta with comb honey, figs and sprinklings of thyme and sea salt with a fruit-nut bread. Simple, fresh, cozy, flavorful and absolutely memorable. I was immediately inspired to try this at home, boys and girls!
Cheese is one of those things that I've dabbled in on the homefront. I took a short class at Sur la Table, a "Cheese Lover's Romp" through some of Manhattan's iconic cheese shops with Alexandra Leaf at the Institute for Culinary Education (the info cards at Bedford Cheese alone are worth the trip) and enrolled in the Artisan Cheesemaking course on Craftsy (love these classes), but for the most part decided that–despite the grand plans I had for building a cheese cave in my basement a la Murray's–cheese was probably one of those things best left to the experts, mainly because of the time factor. Wait MONTHS for a cheddar to ripen? ME? When I can BUY some? I don't think so. The whining and carrying on waiting for my cheese to reach perfection would have been epic.
Ricotta though, is the cheese for those of us whose inner 5-year-olds need instant gratification. (Okay, there's a TEENSY bit of waiting so you'll have to distract your annoying inner 5-year-old with something shiny in the interim. Like buying fun stuff on Amazon. Not that I'd know anything about that.) It really is easy to make and once you do, you'll never want to go back to store-bought again. Recipes abound on the interwebs, but all of them are pretty much the same. Heat some milk, maybe with some cream, throw in some acid (usually lemon juice or vinegar) or use buttermilk, let it get all curdy, drain and ta da! There you go. Fresh ricotta. A no-brainer, really.
So I was good to go on the cheesy end of this inspired-by equation, but a little stumped by the bread, a whole-grainy, fruity, and NUTTY affair that I did not eat. Why? Because, nuts. My nemesis. I have a lifelong hatred of nuts–it's a texture thing, mainly. I'm militantly anti-nut and avoid them like the plague, unless I can pick them out (which makes me REALLY popular in social situations, as I mutter to myself while searching for microscopic nut bits…and people move ever so slowly away from me). In case of the bread at 5 Leaves, the nuts were too small to pick out so I never did taste what the rest of the Dough clan was raving over, and I was flying blind when it came to my own take on it, which CLEARLY could have been made sans nuts. Why didn't I, you ask? Well…don't (ask that is, because I don't know. The spirit of the "inspired by" challenge, I guess, being true to the original. Or I'm just plain nuts. Ha! Sorry.) After much angsty deliberation, I decided to base my concoction on a recipe for oatmeal blueberry bread from the French Culinary Institute's The Fundamental Techniques of Classic Bread Baking, a recipe that in turn was based on one in Jeffrey Hamelman's Bread.
Nuts or not, all I know is that at day's end, we ended up devouring both the bread (well, in my case, what was left of it after it was de-nutted) and the cheese, and afterwards Mr. Dough and I sat on the sofa like a couple of beached whales, sighing contentedly. How good was it? Well, Mr. Dough, upon tasting the ricotta, actually offered up an effusive compliment WITHOUT BEING NAGGED. This, my friends, is an occurrence that happens with only slightly greater frequency than an appearance of Halley's Comet. And to get something more than a non-committal "It's good, I guess…?" Well. I nearly wept. I also texted a photo to Junior Dough, with the message "Be jealous. Be very jealous." (Okay, it was kinda mean of me.) To which she replied, "I hate you so, so much right now." Hee.
So yeah, I think I done good.
P.S. There is, unfortunately, only one cheese photo here. That's because I spaced out while making it and then only managed to take a few of the finished product before our inner 5-year-olds starting having a tantrum.
Oatmeal Bread with Dried Fruit and Pecans
- 200g Dried Fruit, chopped (I used a mix of white figs, unsulphered Turkish apricots, Medjool dates and a few cranberries)
- 161g Whole Wheat Flour
- 130g Rolled Oats
- 403g Water (I used the reserved water from soaking the fruit. Why throw away all that fruity goodness?)
- 484g Bread Flour
- 136g Milk
- 48g Honey
- 48g Vegetable Oil (I use Safflower)
- 19g Salt
- 4g Instant Yeast (the original recipe calls for 11g of fresh yeast, which, when converted comes to 4.07g of instant. Of course, I measure it out accurately on my sub-gram scale because I'm insane. Don't be like me.)
- 130g Toasted Pecans
- Additional Rolled Oats for coating loaves
- Put dried fruit in a heat-proof bowl, add enough boiling water to cover and let sit for about an hour. Drain, reserving water, and let cool.
- Put whole wheat flour and rolled oats in the bowl of a mixer, add the reserved soaking liquid (adding fresh water to make up the difference, if needed) and stir to combine. Let sit for 30 minutes.
- Add bread flour, milk, honey, oil, salt and yeast to the oat mixture. Using the dough hook of your mixer, blend on low speed until combined, then increase the speed to medium for about 7 minutes (dough should pull away from the side of the bowl).
- Add the soaked, drained fruit and the pecans and mix on low speed until combined (I had to mix by hand for a bit to make sure they were fully incorporated).
- Place the dough in a large bowl or container that's been lightly coated with oil (I use spray). Cover and let rest for about an hour.
- After one hour, uncover the dough and fold, then cover and let rest for another hour.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide into two rounds. Cover with plastic and let rest for 15 minutes.
- Lightly butter or oil two 9-inch loaf pans.
- Uncover the dough rounds and lightly flour your work surface, if needed. Degas each dough round and shape into a loaf.
- Dampen a kitchen towel (non-fuzzy kind) and place on one half of a sheet pan. Place rolled oats on the other half. Take each loaf and roll on the damp towel to moisten, then roll in the oats to cover. Place loaves seam side down in the prepared pans. Cover with plastic (or shower caps!) and proof for about 90 minutes.
- About an hour before baking, place a steam pan in the bottom of your oven and preheat to 450°.
- At baking time, uncover the loaf pans, place in the oven and immediately add about 1 cup of ice to the pan to create steam.
- Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 400° and bake for another 30 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven, transfer to a cooling rack and let cool completely.
Fresh Ricotta with Figs and Comb Honey
- 3 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 3 Tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- fresh figs
- comb honey
- fresh thyme (I used lemon thyme)
- sea salt flakes (such as Maldon), optional
- Directions
- Attached a deep-fry or candy thermometer to a 3-quart saucepan (non-reactive like stainless steel) and add the milk, cream and salt.
- Heat to 190°, stirring occasionally so the milk doesn't scorch.
- As soon as the milk comes up to temperature, remove the pan from the heat and pour in the lemon juice, gently stirring it once or twice. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes.
- Place a few layers of cheesecloth in a strainer (I wet the cheesecloth which makes it kind of non-stick) and place it over a large bowl (the whey drains into this bowl). Gently pour the milk mixture (curds and whey, Miss Muffet!) into the strainer and let it drain. The longer it drains, the firmer the ricotta, but you should allow at least a hour of draining. (I planned on letting it go for two but we got antsy.) Serve at room temperature of transfer it to a container and store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- To serve, spoon ricotta into a serving bowl. Cut fresh figs in quarters and arrange around the ricotta. Break off pieces of the comb honey and place over the top of the cheese. Strip thyme leaves from stems and sprinkle over the cheese. Sprinkle with sea salt, if desired.

Measles cases continue to be reported and confirmed in San Diego County. The cases were first reported in January and are linked to an outbreak at Disneyland. Only one of the local cases was vaccinated for measles.
Video: County Public Health Officer Urges Childhood Measles Vaccination
According to the California Department of Public Health, the measles outbreak started in December 2014 when at least 40 people who visited or worked at Disneyland contracted measles. Cases have spread to at least six other states. (Current measles case information is available at CDPH's measles information page; the information is updated every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.)
(Healthcare Providers: See the Measles/Not Measles Diagnostic Tool from Northern California Kaiser Permanente for helpful diagnostic information.)
Measles Facts
Measles is a very contagious disease caused by a virus. It spreads through the air by breathing, coughing or sneezing. It is so contagious that any child who is exposed to it and is not immune will probably get the disease..
Measles develops seven to 21 days after exposure. Early symptoms include high fever, cough, runny nose, and red eyes. The distinctive red rash usually appears three to five days after early symptoms appear. A person is considered contagious four days before the rash appears. The rash begins on the face and head then proceeds downward and outward to the hands and feet. It fades in the same order it began, from head to feet.
All persons born in 1957 or after should have documentation of at least one dose of MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccine or other evidence of immunity to measles. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends two doses of the vaccine: the first at 12 months of age, and the second between ages 4 - 6.
from measles are more common in children younger than 5 years old and
adults 20 years and older. Complications can include diarrhea, ear
infection and pneumonia. Death can occur from severe complications and
the risk is higher among younger children and adults. There is no
treatment for measles. Bed rest, fluids and fever control are
recommended. People with complications may need treatment for their
specific problem.

What women want from games
While the gender differences concerning game-players in general are small to negligible, anyone can tell you that the "heavier" console and PC titles are enjoyed by men to a much larger extent than women. Journalist Leigh Alexander wrote a piece about why this is, and theorizes that while content has got something to do with it, the big issue is just the fact that "anyone can tell you that". Not earth-shattering news, maybe, but I have never seen someone put it so eloquently before. In Sweden, where it is usually hard to get anyone admit to playing videogames, this seems especially true – while female gamers are hard to find, at least the ones I know have delightfully unpredictable tastes.
But enough rambling from me about things that I haven't got a clue about. World of Goo has gone gold! Congrats Ron and Kyle! Now send me my copy!

What we do
A. Social and Marketing Research
B. Program Evaluation
C. Community Consultation and Community Engagement
D. Social Marketing
A. Social and Marketing ResearchSocial research is more than a science (systemized gathering of knowledge),
it is also an art (a skill based on knowledge and practice)
and a craft (a profession requiring special knowledge, skill, ingenuity, creativity and insight) ...hence the name:
Research is our main game: we offer a wide range of social and marketing research capabilities and expertise, and state-of-the-art research techniques. We undertake both qualitative and quantitative research assignments, including social surveys, focus groups, small group sessions, in-depth interviews, case studies and many other techniques. We have conducted some of the largest and some of the smallest surveys undertaken in this country. Since 1981 we have conducted more than 1,500 research projects. A selection of these projects is provided later.
Social research is about measuring, describing, explaining and predicting social, cultural, environmental and economic phenomena. It often guides the development, implementation and delivery of policies and programs, and assists in the estimation and evaluation of their impacts and outcomes, and plays a crucial role in evidence-based policy-making.
Social research explores:
- social and economic structures;
- social attitudes and intentions;
- values and behaviours; and
- the factors which motivate and constrain individuals and groups in society.
B. Program Evaluation
At Artcraft we work with our clients to gain an understanding of the needs and priorities of their target audiences, contribute to the development of programs and evaluate the impact of their work.
For an evaluation to be seen to be credible, objective and professionally detached, it is important to commission an independent evaluation team with sound research and evaluation methodologies and experience.
C. Community Consultation and Community EngagementThe nature of government, community and not-for-profit organisations at all levels is changing rapidly, including the need to become more accountable in the way they work and the services they provide. For many organisations this process includes a growing desire to connect more effectively with the communities they serve.
There are a great many ways to seek people's views, including many public consultations approaches and many social and market research techniques, and Artcraft Research has extensive skills and experience in these areas. However, all too often, even with the best intentions, traditional community consultation ends up mainly listening to the 'squeaky wheels' and the people immediately involved in or affected by the issues. While the views of these people are clearly extremely valuable, it is also essential to ensure that the views of the broader community are taken into account. To do this, we are firm believers in the role of research-based community consultation, in which as well as inviting 'the usual suspects' painstaking attempts are made using rigorous research-derived recruitment processes to screen and recruit from the general population (or target audience) to ensure inclusion of a broad (and hopefully close to representative) cross-section, including many people who would not normally become involved in consultations.
D. Social Marketing
Social marketing is the art of behaviour change, whether it be a specific target segment (eg, encouraging young people not to take up smoking) or a whole community (getting people to use water more efficiently), using concepts drawn from commercial marketing, and it has both strategic and tactical elements. In most cases, social marketing requires more finesse than traditional marketing campaigns.
Effective social marketing starts with sound research. To understand the target audience for any social marketing campaign, a review of previous research can often help us to get a feel for the beliefs and behaviour of the target segment. Then further research needs to be undertaken to get to really know and understand them, develop and pre-test ideas and concepts, provide accurate baseline measurements against which the campaign can later be monitored, and then regular monitoring, review and adjustment of the campaign. As can be seen in the extensive list of projects in Section 4 below, Artcraft Research has been actively involved in many social marketing campaigns over several decades.

WITH A TITLE LIKE that you're probably expecting some Luddite screed from a hopeless romantic who somehow managed to mislay his ticket for the high-tech express. But this will be nothing of the sort. Like many, perhaps most contributors to this site, I basically live online. Without computers and the Internet I would not be able to earn a living and inform myself. Nor am I against electronic reading devices per se. In fact, I would be very interested in a device that would facilitate my reading of blogs, online newspaper and magazine articles, Wikipedia, reference works, data banks etc. In other words: I would use it to manage the ephemeral substance of which the Internet is made…

Cowboy Festival in Old Town Newhall
"We stepped back in time to the rough-and-tumble days of chaps, saddles and saloons when we attended the annual Cowboy Festival at William S. Hart Park in Old Town Newhall. We were surrounded by the sights and sounds of life on the American Frontier as we strolled the grounds, and watched history come alive all through demonstrations of trick roping, blacksmithing, quilting, cowboy cooking and more. We feasted on tasty treats like homemade peach cobbler cooked in a Dutch oven, authentic BBQ, and real down-home biscuits and gravy. All-in-all it was a fabulous day experiencing the lure and lore of the Old West."

A Ramble House 10-Cent Book (#18)
by Ernest Vincent Wright
In the last year of his life, 1939, author Ernest Vincent Wright decided to write a lipogram, a novel without the letter E. He wrote about the people of a pleasant little town of Branton Hills, where he sensed that the young people were growing listless. How he managed to have the older people of the town rescue the youngsters from the doldrums -- without using the letter E in any word -- is a feat you will find hard to believe. It is possibly the first novel of its kind ever written. This new picture-cover edition is the first new edition of this classic novel in over 40 years. Its cover is by Gavin L. O'Keefe and has many of Knees Calhoon's doodles throughout the text.

Internet entrepreneur Heidi Messer started her females-only poker nights a couple of years ago, as a place where professional women could network and talk deals in a relaxed environment.
What began as a cozy weekly game inside her Manhattan loft soon morphed into one of the most elite poker nights around. Messer's poker game now attracts some of the top names in business, executive leadership, sports and entertainment. Most games now accommodate about 70 players, whittled down from 1,000-plus person waiting list.
Read MoreTalking trading strategy with a poker pro
In an interview, Messer, founder and CEO of Collective-i and LinkShare, told CNBC's "Power Lunch" why poker games are actually conducive to boardroom strategy.
"We're taking a page from men who have long used golf for pleasure and business, but moving from the greens to felt greens," the 45-year-old entrepreneur said. "I think anyone who is good at business has a natural knack for poker."
Poker is "just one of those games that translates beautifully. With poker, like business, you learn patience, how to make conversation and slowly learn about your opponent before going all in and taking risks," Messer said. "You think about what you want, how to accomplish that goal and carefully do what you need to do to get there. Poker helps you rein in emotions and think very clearly and strategically before taking action."
Men are allowed to participate—but only as dealers, or croupiers, to help guide and instruct any novices on the finer points of the game.

There is an increasing trend of people becoming more anxious as of late. This is difficult as the world and life is getting harder and harder. Before you get too overwhelmed, it is important to learn good coping mechanisms.
If you take one of your greatest fears and blow it up, then share it with a friend. This can help. After telling them the story more and more and hearing how silly you sound when you say it, you can sometimes look at your real fear from another perspective.
Control your emotions more with self discipline. Getting your emotions in line is the first step; the anxiety will be soon to follow. When you are having an attack, if you allow negative thoughts to rise up then you will be adding fuel to the fire. Learn how to detach emotions a bit from your life and things will improve.
Begin writing in a diary or journal. Some individuals have stored up stressful thoughts inside their mind and have no idea how to release them. You can free up your mind to focus on the present by dumping your thoughts into your diary or journal.
Don't bottle in all the troubles, talk to someone! Keeping feelings bottled up will make things worse. Like exhaling stale air, releasing your feelings will do wonders for lessening the anxiety you are feeling.
A certain amount of uncertainty is a natural part of every day life. Worrying about what could go wrong won't make life any more enjoyable and it will seriously elevate your anxiety and stress. In fact, it can stop you from enjoying your life. It's important to being to accept life's uncertainties and learn you don't need, nor can you expect instant solutions to life's problems.
Getting plenty of sleep is crucial when trying to fight anxiety. Being deprived of sleep will create menta, as well as physical problems for you and work against your efforts to control anxiety. It should be a common practice to achieve 7-8 hours of sleep each night.
Panic Attack
While it sounds funny, try doing silly thinks such as dancing or gently slapping yourself when you're having a panic attack to distract your thoughts. Distracting negative thoughts is a good thing to do if you are experiencing a panic attack. Do whatever you can, where ever you are, to get rid of those feelings.
Make sure you moderate the amount of nicotine and alcohol that you use. Contrary to popular option, these substances will not relax you. Ultimately, though, the chemicals in alcohol and cigarettes can actually exacerbate your anxiety. Practice healthy habits such as exercise, relaxation techniques, diet and healthy social activities.
Consider trying different types of hot and cold beverages that help you deal with anxiety and stress. Many people swear by chamomile tea and recommend it is a great way to de-stress. Try that kind of tea and see if it helps you de-stress.
If you are feeling anxious as you try to settle down for the night, take action to stop it immediately before it gets worse. Getting out of bed, having a snack, a sip of water, or watching TV can be helpful. However, be sure to keep moving; your anxiety will disappear faster and you can get a better night's sleep.
This article should be instrumental in helping you understand how you can control anxiety. Reach out to others to share the ideas you have learned here, and you can all experience relief from anxiety together. By helping your friends and family you can help them live a better life as well.

From the Satucket Lectionary
When the pagan Anglo-Saxons invaded England, they drove the native Celtic inhabitants north into Scotland and west into Ireland, Wales, and Cornwall. The Anglo-Saxons were subsequently converted to Christianity by Celtic missionaries from the north and west, and Roman and Gallic missionaries from the south and east. As a result, they ended up with two different "flavors" of Christianity. The difference was expressed mainly in the form of a disagreement about the proper method for calculating the date of Easter, a disagreement which we may suspect was a stand-in for other disagreements a little more difficult to articulate. In 663, a council was called to settle the dispute, the Synod of Whitby. It decided in favor of the Roman or continental way of doing things.
Soon after, the Archbishop of Canterbury died, and the English elected a successor, Wighard, and sent him to Rome to be consecrated by the Pope. Wighard died in Rome before he could be consecrated, and the Pope (Vitalian) took it upon himself to choose a man to fill the vacancy. He consecrated Theodore of Tarsus (the native city of the Apostle Paul), a learned monk (not a priest) from the East then living in Rome, 65 years old. This surprising choice turned out to be a very good one. Theodore was (as Bede put it in his Ecclesiastical History) "the first archbishop whom all the English obeyed." Having made a tour of his charge, Theodore filled the vacant bishoprics and in 672 presided over the first council of the entire English Church, at Hertford. He established definite territorial boundaries for the various dioceses, and founded new dioceses where needed. He found the Church of England an unorganized missionary body, and left it a fully ordered province of the universal Church. The body of canon law drawn up under his supervision, and his structure of dioceses and parishes, survived the turmoil of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and are substantially intact today.
He founded a school at Canterbury that trained Christians from both the Celtic and the Roman traditions, and did much to unite the two groups. The school was headed by Adrian, an abbot born in Africa but later resident in Italy, who had been the Pope's first choice for Archbishop, but who had refused and recommended Theodore instead. Adrian was learned in the Scriptures, a good administrator, and fluent in Latin and Greek. The school taught Bible, theology and sacred studies, Latin and Greek (Bede alleges that some of the students knew these languages as well as they knew English), poetry, astronomy, and calendar calculation (of some importance for political reasons, as stated above). Adrian died 9 January 710. Theodore died 19 September 690, being 88 years old.
James Chisholm
15 September 1855
click here for books on James Chisholm
From the Satucket Lectionary
James Chisholm was the rector of St. John's Episcopal Church in Portsmouth, Virginia, in the early 1850's, when a terrible plague of yellow fever struck the city, and which struck and killed him.
From The Grest Pestilence in Virginia, by William S Forrest (1856):
WHO, that knew the Rev. James Chisholm by sight, would have dreamed that that frail body of his held such a lofty spirit! Weak and delicate, with a degree of modesty that almost amounted to bashfulness, as shrinking and retiring as a young girl, thousands would have passed him in the crowd unconscious that they were in the presence of a ripe scholar and an able divine. His look a personification of meekness; and, to the superficial thinker, he would seem to have been one of those who would quietly have retreated to his solitude, far away from the noise and bustle of an excited community. But the disease came — Chisholm's flock nearly all left — and he, too, was preparing to spend a portion of his summer in the mountains but stern duty said ' Stop.' And then it was that this pale, delicate, frail, retiring man came forth to the struggle, and the great fond noble soul, which was, after all, the stature of the man, rose in its God-given strength, and he was here at the bedside of suffering, and there by the fresh-made grave; here pointing the sinner to the cross of Christ, and there carrying food and drink to the needy; now in the pulpit, seizing upon the circumstances of the visitation, to warn men to prepare for death, and then in the hospital whispering peace to the penitent and departing soul. Death came to him, and he met him as one who,
"— Sustained and soothed
By an unfaltering trust, approached the grave;
Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch
About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams."

Electronic Arts has blamed casual players for the sudden drop-off in subscribers to Star Wars: The Old Republic. They're right on the money, but are missing one valuable piece of information.. those casual players were what the game was aiming for in the first place.
As of the first of this month, when EA made their quarterly report to investors, SWTOR is down to 1.3 million active subscribers. That's a drop of 400,000 players in only a month. The trend doesn't appear to be stopping and it's expected that by next quarter's report, EA will be reporting less than a million active subscribers for SWTOR.
But wait.. wasn't Star Wars supposed to be the newest, most awesome, and exciting game to come to MMO since the genre began? Wasn't the whole idea of a massive multi-player online game created so that it could evolve to the perfection of SWTOR (according to one player in a forum)?
Guess not. Either that, or gamers just aren't ready for the Old Republic messiah to lift up the beleaguered MMO field and make it rise to greatness again.
EA Games label head honcho Frank Gibeau says that the drop in 400,000 players was because casual gamers are leaving the game and that means only the "core players who really enjoy the game" are left. Methinks Mr. Gibeau is overestimating the power of his game's use of the Force.
I was invited to and played the beta version of SWTOR back when and attended a couple of press events where developers showed us the "cool stuff" the game would have later on. At the time, I really liked the game and thought that SWTOR was maybe going to be something. Sure, the beta had some problems with balance and playability, but it seemed like they were planning to fix that stuff before launch.
But they didn't.
Star Wars: The Old Republic is a smooth, pretty game that looks great and is relatively easy to pick up on and play. The problem is.. it's too easy to pick up and too easy to play. There's little challenge in most of the game. Worse, SWTOR isn't really much of an MMO or RPG. The role-playing is vague at best and the multi-player seems to just mean that there are a bunch of other players running around you, but little need to team up with them for much of the game's play.
Of course, most MMOs are getting this way. Blaming SWTOR for the industry's general move towards free to play (F2P) paradigms that require the game to be dumbed down to the point that a fifth grader with an XBox can play it has largely destroyed the MMO genre of gaming.
Why would EA bother building a game that's new, innovative, a challenge to play, and deep in story and characterization? Nobody wants that, apparently. I've talked about this before, in "Gamers Are the Problem" last month.
Nearly every MMO out there now is a repetitive grind fest which requires little in the way of thought or strategy and relies instead on the player's willingness to just keep grinding through bad guys and gaining levels.
In my experience, SWTOR is one of the worst offenders in this regard. The game is almost entirely scripted with little room for deviance from the rails set before your character based on class and alignment.
Of course, they aren't the only one. Many gamers in forums like to point to World of Warcraft (WOW) as the prime offender in the "dumbing down" scenario. They may or may not have been first, but they certainly were a beginning trend-setter in this degradation of MMO gaming.
When a game is going to the dumbed-down dogs, it usually phases through the following three changes:
Once any of those three things is introduced to an MMO, the other two will surely follow and the game will be done for.
So are we witnessing the death of MMOs themselves? Are they about to die off and become just another niche gamer market that fewer and fewer quality developers make games for?
To be honest, it's hard to say that's not the case without feeling a little too hopeful. After all, game types come and go and each keep a core set of players, but eventually the crowd moves on to the next big thing. MMOs may have run their course with pop culture and seem to be getting pushed aside in favor of (gulp) social gaming.
You heard right. I'm admitting to something that's been dogging me for some time: social games seem to be taking over the gaming market and displacing a lot of MMO gamers from the big productions we've all gotten used to lusting after in beta and then playing for a year or two once they release only to move on to the next big MMO beta.
Games on platforms like Facebook, smart phones, and so on are gaining a lot of players very rapidly. While some hardcore MMO players might say "good riddance, get rid of the 12 year olds and their dumbing down of my game!" that's missing a vital point: the huge productions like SWTOR, WOW, and others exist (even in their now-lame form) thanks to those 12 year olds with the deep allowances to buy gear or pay for subscriptions.
Once they leave for other things, what's left of the core audience for MMORPGs will not be enough to sustain the games currently on the market. Whatever your favorite is might find itself in trouble and closing its doors for lack of funding – despite your loyalty and monthly fee payments. EVE Online players? LOTRO lovers? WOW hangers on? SWTOR aces? AOC hackers? It might be your game that closes down. No one will be immune.
Unlike the big banks in 2008, there won't be anyone around to bail out the MMO producers and developers when the going gets tough. The attrition will be brutal.
On the other hand, what will be left will be the real survivors, the cream of the crop. Hopefully, things will improve as a result. That is the hope, but most of us can't say it's going to happen without a few lines of worry coming through our expression as we say it.
After all, gaming is constantly changing just as the rest of our popular culture morphs. Eventually, MMO will be the "has been" like the old PC-based box games and the stand-up quarter-fed arcades before them. It'll still be around, but it won't be the same and will eventually be relegated to the "vintage" and "collectibles" aisle.
Therefore they push F2P to bring more casual players??
Hope they keep the subs we adore the game!

After supporting Punjab minister Navjot Singh Sidhu's conviction and jail-term in a 30-year-old road rage case in the Supreme Court, Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh defended his government's stand saying it was "the only legal option available".
Mr Sidhu had allegedly hit a 65-year-old man, Gurnam Singh, on the head during an argument on a road in Patiala on December 27, 1988. Gurnam Singh died of a haemorrhage.
A trial court had discharged Mr Sidhu, but the High Court reversed it and held him guilty of culpable homicide in 2006. He was given three years in jail. In 2007, the Supreme Court suspended Mr Sidhu's sentence and granted him bail after he appealed his conviction by the Punjab and Haryana High Court. The suspended sentence enabled him to contest the Lok Sabha bypolls from Amritsar.
On Thursday, the Punjab government told the top court that Mr Sidhu's conviction should be upheld.
The 55-year-old cricketer-turned-politician had quit the BJP in 2016 and joined the Congress last year.
Captain Singh's government, officials say, had no choice but to oppose its own minister in court. After arguing against Mr Sidhu in the high court, it could not change its stand before the Supreme Court, they said.
Captain Singh, however, hoped that the judge would take into account Mr Sidhu's "contribution to the society and the country" in his final verdict.
"Though the government could not have taken any other stand in the apex court, other than what it had been taken in the trial and high court earlier, Sidhu deserved the court's consideration," said the Chief Minister, who is drawing flak for letting down his own minister.
He added, "Had we done so (defended Mr Sidhu), we would have been accused of lying either now or earlier."
Facing criticism over his alleged dislike for Mr Singh and the way his case was handled by the Punjab government, Captain Singh, according to news agency IANS, said, "Sidhu, whom I have known since he was a child, was a person totally above board, who went out of the way to help people in need."

By Michael Snyder
This is what Prince Turki al-Faisal had in mind when he recently threatened to go after Iran by flooding the oil market--
"Iran is very vulnerable in the oil sector, and it's there that more could be done to squeeze the current government....To put this into perspective, Saudi Arabia has so much [spare] production capacity — nearly 4 million barrels per day — that we could almost instantly replace all of Iran's oil production."
The Saudis plan to put Iran out of business, so that their Sunni revolutionaries have a better chance to finally undo the Shia challenges to Wahabbi rule over all the Muslims in the entire world. In the long run, they actually plan total domination of all Middle Eastern oil and gas, as evidenced by today's news that China oil and gas giant Sinopec partner with Aramco to build the world's largest gas refinery at Yanbu, on the Red Sea. This monster will produce 400,000 barrels a day, starting in 2014, the year that Saudi Arabia takes control of nearly all of the Middle East, thanks to good old Uncle Sam, but will that come soon enough to save the American economy?]
The largest oil exporter in the Middle East has teamed up with the second largest consumer of oil in the world (China) to build a gigantic new oil refinery and the mainstream media in the United States has barely even noticed it. This mammoth new refinery is scheduled to be fully operational in the Red Sea port city of Yanbu by 2014. Over the past several years, China has sought to aggressively expand trade with Saudi Arabia, and China now actually imports more oil from Saudi Arabia than the United States does. In February, China imported 1.39 million barrels of oil per day from Saudi Arabia. That was 39 percent higher than last February. So why is this important? Well, back in 1973 the United States and Saudi Arabia agreed that all oil sold by Saudi Arabia would be denominated in U.S. dollars. This petrodollar system was adopted by almost the entire world and it has had great benefits for the U.S. economy. But if China becomes Saudi Arabia's most important trading partner, then why should Saudi Arabia continue to only sell oil in U.S. dollars? And if the petrodollar system collapses, what is that going to mean for the U.S. economy?
Those are very important questions, and they will be addressed later on in this article. First of all, let's take a closer look at the agreement reached between Saudi Arabia and China recently.
The following is how the deal was described in a recent China Daily article….
In what Riyadh calls "the largest expansion by any oil company in the world", Sinopec's deal on Saturday with Saudi oil giant Aramco will allow a major oil refinery to become operational in the Red Sea port of Yanbu by 2014.
The $8.5 billion joint venture, which covers an area of about 5.2 million square meters, is already under construction. It will process 400,000 barrels of heavy crude oil per day. Aramco will hold a 62.5 percent stake in the plant while Sinopec will own the remaining 37.5 percent.
At a time when the U.S. is actually losing refining capacity, this is a stunning development.
Yet the U.S. press has been largely silent about this.
Very curious.
But China is not just doing deals with Saudi Arabia. China has also been striking deals with several other important oil producing nations. The following comes from a recent article by Gregg Laskoski….
China's investment in oil infrastructure and refining capacity is unparalleled. And more importantly, it executes a consistent strategy of developing world-class refining facilities in partnership with OPEC suppliers. Such relationships mean economic leverage that could soon subordinate U.S. relations with the same countries.
Egypt is building its largest refinery ever with investment from China.
Shortly after the partnership with Egypt was announced, China signed a $23 billion agreement with Nigeria to construct three gasoline refineries and a fuel complex in Nigeria.
Essentially, China is running circles around the United States when it comes to locking up strategic oil supplies worldwide.
And all of these developments could have tremendous implications for the future of the petrodollar system.
If you are not familiar with the petrodollar system, it really is not that complicated. Basically, almost all of the oil in the world is traded in U.S. dollars. The origin of the petrodollar system was detailed in a recent article by Jerry Robinson….
In 1973, a deal was struck between Saudi Arabia and the United States in which every barrel of oil purchased from the Saudis would be denominated in U.S. dollars. Under this new arrangement, any country that sought to purchase oil from Saudi Arabia would be required to first exchange their own national currency for U.S. dollars. In exchange for Saudi Arabia's willingness to denominate their oil sales exclusively in U.S. dollars, the United States offered weapons and protection of their oil fields from neighboring nations, including Israel.
By 1975, all of the OPEC nations had agreed to price their own oil supplies exclusively in U.S. dollars in exchange for weapons and military protection.
This petrodollar system, or more simply known as an "oil for dollars" system, created an immediate artificial demand for U.S. dollars around the globe. And of course, as global oil demand increased, so did the demand for U.S. dollars.
Once you understand the petrodollar system, it becomes much easier to understand why our politicians treat Saudi leaders with kid gloves. The U.S. government does not want to see anything happen that would jeopardize the status quo.
A recent article by Marin Katusa described some more of the benefits that the petrodollar system has had for the U.S. economy….
The "petrodollar" system was a brilliant political and economic move. It forced the world's oil money to flow through the US Federal Reserve, creating ever-growing international demand for both US dollars and US debt, while essentially letting the US pretty much own the world's oil for free, since oil's value is denominated in a currency that America controls and prints. The petrodollar system spread beyond oil: the majority of international trade is done in US dollars. That means that from Russia to China, Brazil to South Korea, every country aims to maximize the US-dollar surplus garnered from its export trade to buy oil.
The US has reaped many rewards. As oil usage increased in the 1980s, demand for the US dollar rose with it, lifting the US economy to new heights. But even without economic success at home the US dollar would have soared, because the petrodollar system created consistent international demand for US dollars, which in turn gained in value. A strong US dollar allowed Americans to buy imported goods at a massive discount – the petrodollar system essentially creating a subsidy for US consumers at the expense of the rest of the world. Here, finally, the US hit on a downside: The availability of cheap imports hit the US manufacturing industry hard, and the disappearance of manufacturing jobs remains one of the biggest challenges in resurrecting the US economy today.
So what happens if the petrodollar system collapses?
Well, for one thing the value of the U.S. dollar would plummet big time.
U.S. consumers would suddenly find that all of those "cheap imported goods" would rise in price dramatically as would the price of gasoline.
If you think the price of gas is high now, you just wait until the petrodollar system collapses.
In addition, there would be much less of a demand for U.S. government debtsince countries would not have so many excess U.S. dollars lying around.
So needless to say, the U.S. government really needs the petrodollar system to continue.
But in the end, it is Saudi Arabia that is holding the cards.
If Saudi Arabia chooses to sell oil in a currency other than the U.S. dollar, most of the rest of the oil producing countries in the Middle East would surely do the same rather quickly.
And we have already seen countries in other parts of the world start to move away from using the U.S. dollar in global trade.
For example, Russia and China have agreed to now use their own national currencies when trading with each other rather than the U.S. dollar.
That got virtually no attention in the U.S. media, but it really was a big deal when it was announced.
A recent article by Graham Summers summarized some of the other moves away from the U.S. dollar in international trade that we have seen recently….
Indeed, officials from China, India, Brazil, Russia, and South Africa (the latest addition to the BRIC acronym, now to be called BRICS) recently met in southern China to discuss expanding the use of their own currencies in foreign trade (yet another move away from the US Dollar).
To recap:
- China and Russia have removed the US Dollar from their trade
- China is rushing its trade agreement with Brazil
- China, Russia, Brazil, India, and now South Africa are moving to trade more in their own currencies (not the US Dollar)
- Saudi Arabia is moving to formalize trade with China and Russia
- Singapore is moving to trade yuan
The trend here is obvious. The US Dollar's reign as the world's reserve currency is ending. The process will take time to unfold. But the Dollar will be finished as reserve currency within the next five years.
Yes, the days of the U.S. dollar being the primary reserve currency of the world are definitely numbered.
It will not happen overnight, but as the U.S. economy continues to get weaker it is inevitable that the rest of the world will continue to question why the U.S. dollar should automatically have such a dominant position in international trade.
Over the next few years, keep a close eye on Saudi Arabia.
When Saudi Arabia announces a move away from the petrodollar system, that will be a major trigger event for the global financial system and it will be a really, really bad sign for the U.S. economy.
The level of prosperity that we are enjoying today would not be possible without the petrodollar system. Once the petrodollar system collapses, a lot of our underlying economic vulnerabilities will be exposed and it will not be pretty.
Tough times are on the horizon. It is imperative that we all get informed and that we all get prepared....
The U.S. may not be edging closer to energy independence, but in the oil markets and its prices, Zioconned Saudi Wahhabi Arabia are king of filth....
Saudi Aramco, Saudi Arabia's oil company, has recently chartered 11 very large crude carriers (VLCCs). Each transports as many as two million barrels of oil.
They were chartered earlier in March with one goal in mind: to dump their cargo with U.S.refiners, and help bring energy prices down by increasing the supply of oil, reported the Financial Times.
In so doing, they ensure that sanctions against Iran do their job, said Marvin Zonis, professor emeritus at the Booth School of Business at the University of Chicago, who's followed Iran more than 40 years.
Zonis said Iran's saber rattling about closing the Strait of Hormuz had prompted traders to inflate the price of oil, which helps offset oil sanctions against Iran for its nuclear program by lining Tehran's coffers with more cash.
Squeezing Iran
A barrel of oil sold for $105.51 on the New York Mercantile Exchange on Thursday — about 33 percent above the October low.
The more oil prices ease, the more Iran will be squeezed, Zonis said.
On Tuesday, Saudi Arabia's oil minister Ali Naimi commented oil prices are unjustifiably high and that his country would boost its production by 25 percent if necessary.
It's part of a multi-pronged attempt to reel in and cool energy prices which have triggered fears of a slowdown in the world economy.
Oil prices acorss the globe dropped by more than $1 on Tuesday following assurances Saudi production will offset Iranian declines in production.
Tankers Give More Controls
By chartering the tankers, Saudi Aramco essentially increased by 50 percent the total number Saudi Arabia owns or controls.
The CIA reports the country had 22 petroleum tankers out of a fleet of 74 cargo ships in 2010.
Last year, the country chartered only one VLCC to the U.S., the Financial Times reported.
With Saudi Arabia as the world's largest producer and exporter of oil, Saudi Aramco's venture into oil transport will only cement the country's influence on oil prices.
"It is hard to exaggerate the control on oil markets that Saudi Arabia has already," Zonis said. "It is the largest single influence on the oil market."
The professor said chartering the tankers only further proves Saudi Arabia's dominance.
The reason is that with proven reserves of 266.7 billion barrels, the Arab kingdom could be the world's biggest oil producer for many more years.
"It certainly confirms that you don't want to mess with Saudi Arabia," Zonis said
The tankers will make their way into the Gulf of Mexico by the end of March or the first week of April, after sailing for 40 days.

When did birth become something that women looked towards fearfully? When did American women start to look outward for confirmation about their body and baby (doctors/midwives) instead of looking within and using their intuition and innate knowledge of their bodies? Why have we been taught to fear our bodies and not understand them as women? […] Continue reading →
