Iraq: 5 dead, 17 wounded
Tuz, Iraq
5 dead, 17 wounded
The IED explosion happened in the morning, 1200yards from where I was walking to get a breakfast falafel at the police station. The boom was deep, not like fireworks from the sky, but a percussion from the ground, the earth wounded for a moment, insulted. I could not control an 'oof' as air was punched lightly out of me. Gunfire followed, the Iraqi Police firing into the air to disperse crowds and let them know they're there — security?
Iraqi police and American MP's had been up all night in preparation for a Shiite Pilgrimage called Ashura. Boom. Not allowed to be practiced under Saddam, the devout whip and cut themselves in observance, faces covered in blood, white shirts crimson with the owner's blood, of the very devout, when things go right.
The explosion was near a Mosque on the route. I had walked that route at 3am with soldiers, either we missed it or it was planted after us, I like to think it was planted after we passed, can take only 1.3min to place, Iraqi police are known to sleep at their posts. Some of the devout are now dead in a deep disruption of earth, air and peace; many are covered in blood, not by their own hands, maybe not their own blood.
The devout bleed, the devout weep.
Back at the station, wearing my armor because I still want to get breakfast, Iraqi Police, knowing I'm there to take photos, "Want photo?" one asks, making a contorted dead face, "go hospital, many photo," he is smiling, I don't know why.
I'm sorry, I wish I had seen the bomb on our patrol, it was near a bridge, it was dark, I remember the bridge, I feared walking under it, bridges are where bad things happen, I didn't look for bombs, it's not my job, I don't know what to look for, I am not trained, I was told to stay near walls, or in the middle of the patrol of soldiers, if the patrol leader holds his hand down in a certain way we were to get on one knee, I did not look for things out of place, I concentrated on not stepping in sewage water seeping from canals, I did not use a flashlight because I didn't want to be seen by a sniper, instead I fiddled with my recorder, I increased the ISO of my camera, I did not look at the side of the road unless an angry stray dog was threatening, the soldier near me aiming his pistol at it just in case, they protect me, I did not see a bomb, I wish I did, I'm sorry, I'm here to observe but It was dark, I did not see, it may not have been there yet.
Iraq: Soldiers' Wishes

Iraq: Christmas Eve
Christmas eve in a Muslim land.
Embedded with the Chaplin… yes, sounds strange to me too.
Here he is walking to service:
http://jakewarga.com/audio/ChaplinWalk_Warga.mp3
Two schools: Christmas on the battlefield is best ignored, or fully embraced. Our convoy of MRAPs (Mine Resistant something something's) and HMMWVs (HighMobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle… aka: Humvees) drove from base to a joint forces outpost to deliver cheer — in this case a large plasma TV for Xbox tournaments. They were glad to see the Chaplin, he came with some promised bibles, they were very happy to see the TV (Tele-vision). Two frozen turkeys started thawing as well.
"Shotgun Santa" (1:31 mp3):
/news/wp-content/uploads/hv/2010/Santa_Shotgun_131.mp3
Wandering around base I found Santa with a shotgun defending a stash of presents sent from the states by organizations and school children who would pee just seeing this Clause. Everyone was peeing themselves laughing, I recorded him: "Merry Christmas Mother F…" He does the gun loading move for the F part. I too get stockings in the spirit of the season for there were far more stockings than troops in this section.
I miss my Grandmother, inside is what she used to get me for Christmas — everything from the pharmacy:
Road and Track magazine
Tin of tobacco chew
Toothbrushes and paste
Oh, how silly I thought. Then I picked-out the toothpaste because I was low. Then the tissues because the desert/pollution sinuses I've gone through so many packs already. I keep a pack of handy wipes because they're so handy and I'm running out, the dust, oh the dust. Sox sure I'm on my feet most of the day. Lastly, I started reading an article in Road and Track about GPS navigators.
A card was at the bottom, drawn by a child, for a class project, tree penned in green, time was spent, an American flag, not colored within the lines, and a penciled letter cut and glued:
Thank You so much for serving for our country and keeping us safe. I appreciate you trying to keep everyone in America safe. Have a great Christmas. I hope you get to have a little celebration of Christmas. May we have peace on earth. From: Julia, Franklyn Elementary.
No, seriously
The other stocking of gifts I gave to an interpreter smoking outside his CHU (Container Housing Unit), just down from mine. In the spirit of giving.
"Merry Christ…" I started. "A gift" I ended. He was very happy, and so was I in the spirit of giving.

Iraq: Palace Plasma
Tikrit, Iraq
Woke up in a palace today, stared-up at huge golden chandeliers dangling from the ornate ceiling of a former palace. Mahmoon Palace or "Birthday" palace. Where Saddam's birthday was celebrated. Less glamorous at eye-level: I lay on a dusty cot, and my neighbor in a public storage-like plywood cubicles was playing Alvin and the chipmunks Christmas. They had little warning that a reporter was coming, they were told I wanted to cover Christmas stories, I came to the Middle East to avoid it.
The famous balcony, where Saddam fired off his famous gun.
Troops posing outside the Palace bandstand
It's kind of sad the disrepair here.
Large plasma TV, Xbox, PS2's, internet terminals. Soldiers play war games, up to 4 at a time, executing their training in play. Boredom is the greatest threat here, complacency is its danger. They are very good warriors, I rarely see their screens turn red with electronic blood.
"People of Wal-Mart" website went viral in the banquet room, for that's what this huge room was, ultimate of class and luxury, marble marble everywhere. We gathered around to look at the website: "Aw, no way!"s and "Shit, is that a dude? Fuck that!"s and "Hell no!"s, everywhere. One of those came from my lips.
Nice soldier, Joe, likes metal, from California as well. He tells others "man, we grew-up an hour from each other" but light-years. He turned 21 the day before, old enough at last but not a drop to drink. I asked him why he joined: "The health benefits, my wife is on expensive anti-seizure meds." He loves to talk about weapons–a grenade launcher, I forget the caliber, is his favorite. Weapons weapons everywhere. Not guns, weapons. He pretended to defend me as I got a haircut. Has a 6mo old daughter, took her to Disneyland recently. Old enough.
It takes a while for soldiers to open-up to reporters. I know what they've been told about us, but I'm not supposed to know, so I won't say. I needed an opening. A horror movie was thrown on late last night, a break from the gory video games to just gore. The man who I call dad in my life, his name came up, director of photography "hey, that's my dad" I said. One mouth fell open. I said I too used to work on horror movies, more looks my way. I was in at last.
It's "hum-vee" not "hummer". The former is driven, the latter drives.
Comforts of home. It's not REAL mountain-dew, it's called "squiggly-dew" because it's in Arabic and, the greatest complaint: it uses real sugar cane instead of high-fructose corn syrup. The Sergeant showed me the stash of a yummy caned coffee drink for us old-timers. Pallets of bottled water water everywhere. Tap water comes from the Tigris, never open your mouth while showering, don't taste history.

HV079- Sacred Places
079 Sacred Places: Maps to Heaven
Host: Alex Chadwick of Conservation Sound
"Sacred Places" (52:00 mp3):
https://hearingvoices.com/news/wp-content/uploads/hours/079SacredPlaces.mp3
The spirits of personal shrines and collective spaces:
"The Geography of Heaven" (24:15) Alex Chadwick & Carolyn Jensen
Our show host maps get directions to Heaven, in the holy Hindu city of Vrindavan, India. A three story series:
"The Streets of a Holy Hindu City" are reminders that the Hindu faith is everywhere in Vrindavan — countless temples line the streets and pilgrims march in devotion. There is also stark, third-world poverty and suffering. But for the faithful, the city is a manifestation of heaven, here on Earth.
"Pilgrims on the Path of Krishna", among the stones of ancient temples and bathing pools, march and chant praise to Krishna and his consort, Radha. They touch the holy water of the Yamuna River and walk barefoot down the same paths they believe Krishna himself once trod.
"The Embodiment of Earthly Divinity", the focus of many worshippers in Vrindavan, is the Sri Radha Raman Temple, where a black stone statue of Krishna sits enshrined and wrapped in saffron robes. Many consider the small stone statue to be Krishna himself.
Produced by Carolyn Jensen, for Radio Expeditions, a co-production of the National Geographic Society and NPR News. The editor was Jessica Goldstein; the engineer, Flawn Williams. Photo-gallery at NPR.
"Sacred Spaces" (16:49) Barrett Golding
Finding four places of faith around Montana: a Soiux Sundance, in a Buddhist woman's home, a Methodist prairie church, and a sculptor's ranch.
"Incantations" (3:36) Judith Sloan / Ear Say
The producers gather sounds from the streets of their own backyard, the 112 square miles of the borough of Queens, New York, home to the largest mix of immigrants and refugees in the United States. These are people praying in different neighborhoods, in churches, mosques, synagogues, in apartments, at public gatherings and in private moments who come from Togo, China, Haiti, Nigeria, Queens, Romania, even North Carolina. Part of: Crossing the BLVD: strangers, neighbors, aliens in a new America.
"Lost in Ritual" (3:10) Hammad Ahmed
The producer is in Harvard Square with his aunts, looking for a "side-room": That's their word for a place to pray. Five times daily, even when they're away from home, they perform "namaaz" (nah-MAHZ), their prayer service. They find the direction of Mecca, and a space that, temporarily at least, is sacred. Hammad Ahmed's piece, was produced for the Say It This Way podcast. A brief glossary for the uninitiated: "qibla" = the direction Muslims face while praying (i.e. towards Mecca), "namaaz" = any of the five daily prayers, "hijab" = Muslim headscarf, "sajdah" = lying prostrate during prayer, "side-room" = a private-or-not-private space that Muslims occupy for prayer when away from home.
"Temple in Taiwan" (1:51) Dmae Roberts
A woman's song on the streets of Taipei, Taiwan, leads the producer to the outskirts of town, to climb the rock steps of the White Temple. There, high in the clouds, one hundred voices are singing a salutation to the Buddha.
Iraq: Life Support Area
["Iraq: Christmas 2009": observations, images and sounds from Iraq, Christmas 2009, a series of posts by Jake Warga.]
Oh the things I've seen.
I shall never complain about long lay-overs again.
I have flown in a C-17 transport.
I shall never complain again of uncomfortable seats again.
I have ridden in the belly of a Stryker.
What do you get when you stick a public radio guy with a Fox TV crew in the back of a Black Hawk for a multiple re-fuel hop up to Northern Iraq?
A bumpy ride.
I saw an injured dove in Baghdad trying to be nursed back to health on a blast wall away from cats. It had a saucer of water and feed, don't know who put it there. I saw a dead dove come evening.
I got a serious cold sleeping in a 20-man tent during a thunder storm, closest I've come to being attacked.
I am now with these 3rd Infantry Division.
3rd Infantry Division
shoulder sleeve insignia
I have yet to meet someone who wants to be here. I have met some wonderful people.
For lunch the other day I had crab legs, the desert bar is endless, burger king is everywhere. Where else in Arabia can I eat bacon and watch Fox TV on flat screens throughout a mess hall?
Ugandans hired by KBR guard entrances to buildings on bases, the Peruvians have the evening shift. They look at my passport, I don't think they know what they're looking for.
A papier-mâché Mount Rushmore and Statue of Liberty are in the DFAC (Dining FACility). Pakistanis do the dishes. You're not allowed to bring bags into facilities or wear a hat, but you are required to have a weapon. I am unarmed. I know now the difference between an M16 rifle and an M4 Carbine. Both are 5.56 Caliber, I don't know what that means but I was given a pamphlet.
The military is run by acronyms. I'm staying in an LSA (Life Support Area).
It's almost encouraged to have a bad hair cut, in this I feel at home.
I go next to JCC in Tikrit with PSD (Joint Coordination Center…Personal Security Detail), I feel important, I may be a fool. I spend Christmas Embedded with the Chaplin…why not. Here's what soldiers want for Christmas (4:07):

Black hawk gunner
Dust goes to one lung, trash burns go to the other.
Met a soldier young enough to be my daughter, I become a grandfather when she tells me about her 5yo back home. Everyone dresses the same, it's confusing, uniformity, conformity, camouflaged in green in a land where there is only brown.
With love from the war on terror. Pictures at Flickr.
Keffiyeh for sale in Dubai
Iraq: From Dubai
Last night I flew in a C-17 military transport.
Today I rode through the red-zone of Baghdad in the belly of a blast-proof stryker.
Tonight I fly in a helicoptor to Northern Iraq, possibly in a Blackhawk.
A ride in a bullet proof suburban.
I hope I don't get a fuel bill for my transportation.
I'm eating in dining halls where you can't bring bags or wear hats, but you are REQUIRED to have a weapon (I have only my wit).
Had crab legs for lunch, lean times.
Got a cold sleeping in a tent last night in a thunder storm.
I can hear prayer to call, earlier I heard gunfire, but I'm surrounded by concrete walls… just like in Israel.
I'm learning that the success of a soldier is not measured in bravery, but patience.

Interviewing 3.0
Virtuoso Voices has compiled interviewing tips from pubradio personalities Bob Edwards, Susan Stamberg, Kurt Andersen, Lisa Mullins, John Diliberto, Lynn Neary and others. It's all in a 25-page Interviewing 3.0 pdf (296KB).
David Schulman's (of MITOW) thots on interviewing "feng shui" are revalations. Below are some excerpts from "Interviewing Performing Artists… and Others: A Practical Guide"…
Bob Edwards (The Bob Edwards Show):
Think of it as a conversation and not an interview. If you do an interview, it will likely SOUND like an interview. How do you talk to a friend over a beer? First you LISTEN—and you react to what you've heard. If someone tells me something really interesting, I'll simply say, "Really?" or "No!" Those are little words of encouragement that signal the speaker to continue—and to expand on previous remarks. If your guest is truly confusing, try "Huh?"
Indulge yourself. Ask the question you've always wanted to ask. "What's that lyric about?"
Susan Stamberg (NPR):
Listening to answers is more important than asking the question.
Best question is often the simplest: WHY?
John Diliberto (Echoes:
Don't be afraid to ask the hard question. They aren't your friends and you don't have to worry that they won't like you or walk out. Although occasionally they do.
Don't be afraid to ask the obvious question. I got this from listening to Terry Gross, who, besides being a probing interviewer, also knows where the good stories are and isn't afraid to query into known terrain, because a good story is still a good story, even if it's been heard before. Chances are, most people still don't know it. Then find a different angle on that story.

Invertebrates Kill Each Other With Sheep and Old Women - Worms 3 iOS Ryview
Worms 3, by Team17.
Recommendation: It's a solid game and it's a great port to the iOS, but at $4.99, I'm not sure it's worth it unless you're in love with the franchise. If you're on the fence, wait for it to go on sale.
Worms 3 is definitely a Worms game (it's practically the iOS port of Worms Revolution, but with a few tweaks). For those of you unfamiliar with the franchise, Worms is about blowing each other up with various explosives and firearms.

And sheep. (picture from Worms Reloaded)
And it's pretty fun in the process, I might add. But I was admittedly a little hesitant to transition into the iOS version. Playing on the PC, all the menus are easy to use and the game feels very open. A game like this requires quite a bit of space just to view the weapons, not to mention getting a feel for the stage and trying to plan your attacks. Even the console version is a bit of a stretch for me, but for the most part I feel like consoled versions still have enough buttons and a big enough screen to do Worms justice.
But I've had bad luck with some iOS games when you're required to move using a false d-pad before. And getting the grandiose scale also seemed out of reach. I can happily say, however, that this entry did Worms justice.
The controls work quite well. You move right or left using the d-pad, and aiming weapons is performed by up and down on the d-pad. Given that the game is generally only two dimensional in movement, this works fairly well. I wasn't a fan of the game's lack of description on the subject if you just straight into a quick match, but after going back through things properly it became obvious that the campaign contained a fully fledged tutorial. And a pretty good one, at that.
Body Count: Because we have to remind you that you're a lunatic every now and then
The game plays just like other Worms titles. You have an arsenal to pick from, and your goal is to kill your enemies before they kill you. I will say, however, that this entry in the series, like most of them, feels the same as the rest. The weapons don't really change, the stages always look pretty much the same. The transition into 3D was a big deal for the franchise, but this 2D game feels like the rest of them.
Luckily, there are a few nuances that help boost this game in my head. First off, the very fact that it's a successful port onto the iOS is a pretty strong plus. I recently played the port of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, and that was just the classic game. But it was on my iPad, so I loved it. Am I a sucker? Maybe. But I think when a games is put onto a nice, mobile platform, that's a good move (assuming it works).
Secondly, there are upgrade cards in this game, and those are not present in any other Worms game I've played (although, to be fair, it's been a long time since I played the other versions). These had various boosts, such as low gravity or resisting fall damage. They do a very good job of actually altering the gameplay quite a bit. Those kept the game from being a carbon copy of the other games in the series. Honestly, the cards livened things up enough to make me coming back for several more games than I would have if it was just a mobile version of Worms.
Let's be honest, most of the cards are "Help Me Blow Shit Up Faster", but that's also the unofficial name of the game...
If you're new to the franchise, I think this would be a fine place to start. As I mentioned, the tutorial is really good and this is a fantastic game to play by yourself or with friends (it offers online play as well as pass and play). If you're a Worms veteran, this is a pretty strong game in the series and it works well on mobile devices.
Unfortunately, it's currently $4.99. This is still very worth it if you're not sure about the franchise but you want to try it out cheaply. If you fall in love with it, you can buy some of the classic Worms titles for the Xbox 360 in a $10 bundle. But if you're on the fence, I'd wait until it goes on sale.

To meet this goal, internal audit has to boost its performance throughout each stage of the audit cycle. The guidelines below can help you improve the risk assessment, planning, execution, and reporting stages of the audit cycle.
When it comes to assessing risks, internal auditors need to look beyond the functions traditionally considered within the typical audit scope, such as cash controls and accounts payable, and examine risks in other functions that are strategically important to the organization.
Both functions can expose an organization to significant risk. However, many organizations fail to integrate risk assessment and monitoring into their strategic planning processes, and often don't consider the concept of "culture risk." Instead, the focus remains on traditional risk areas. "Internal audit shops that don't pay attention to these are missing the boat," he says.
To be sure, approaching departments you've never audited comes with a learning curve. One starting point is to review industry information that's available publicly, usually through online searches. Internal audit also needs to simply ask executive management and the board about their concerns.
It can be tempting to rush through the planning stage and jump right into an audit. Rick Franklin, internal audit managing director with Protiviti, recommends allocating enough time to define the audit scope with as much accuracy as reasonably possible. That way, everyone involved knows what to expect and the way in which resources will be deployed. During the planning stage it's also important to reach an agreement with management on the audit's estimated time frame.
As part of the planning process, determine how you can leverage work done by other assurance areas, like compliance. Minimizing duplication reduces cycle time, Redlinger notes.
While reviewing past audit work can provide context, keep in mind that business environments change. For instance, say a process that had been manual was automated. Rather than assess the old manual process, the audit should check that the automated system is configured and operating correctly.
To be sure, audits can twist and turn as new information is discovered. As you find exceptions, share them with the group to determine if the new data warrant a delay.
"If an auditor feels additional research is needed, that's important," Franklin says. At the same time, internal audit needs to concentrate on material areas and stay true to the audit's initial objectives. "Avoid scope creep that can't truly be justified," he adds.
Developing Agility: One way internal audit can improve all phases of the audit cycle is by becoming more agile, Williams says. The concept goes beyond flexibility and requires a willingness and ability to "go in one direction, realize the path is not worth your time, and then pivot to a different direction," Williams says. The goal is to identify and focus on the risks and concerns that are strategic to the business, and through which internal audit can provide value. That requires continually assessing which risks are most significant and dedicating resources to them.
Today's software and systems are poised to play a growing role within the internal audit function, and particularly within fieldwork. Yet, internal audit's use of data analytics is in its early stages, especially in North America, according to Protiviti's 2018 Internal Audit Capabilities and Needs Survey. Less than two-thirds of respondents in North America use data analytics, versus 76 percent of respondents in Europe and Asia-Pacific.
"The world of data analytics and predictive indexing is exploding, and the opportunities to re-engineer how internal audit works is amazing," says Larry Harrington, vice president of internal audit with Raytheon Company.
New technology can allow for more comprehensive testing in less time and with less travel, Harrington says. In addition, by automating routine tasks, technology will free up auditors to take on more complex work. And, using technology to move from paper-based to electronic processes will boost efficiency, as information is more easily shared and searched.
More important, the use of data analysis, data mining and data extraction solutions will change the audit process itself.
"It's not just putting analytics as an add-on to what you're already doing," Williams says.
For instance, rather than manually pull, examine, and reconcile one set of information against another, software analytics allows internal auditors to efficiently review transactions, identify anomalies, and assess risk. That will help internal audit focus its efforts and resources, he adds.
As technology plays a greater role in the audit cycle, some organizations will shift to continuous auditing. They'll use technology to assess and analyze patterns and trends in data, identify exceptions and test controls in close to real-time. They'll be able to more quickly determine the reasons for the exceptions than they can with periodic audits. As a result, they can offer more timely insight to mitigate the risks in the future.
This doesn't mean computers will take over the audit process. Williams notes that auditing remains "a principles-based profession." Auditors still need to adhere to professional standards, and then use technology to enhance their work throughout the audit cycle.
Two issues are key during the reporting phase, according to Franklin.
One is how internal audit communicates. Internal audit needs to understand its audience and tailor its communication accordingly. For example, the conversation with a plant supervisor could focus on day-to-day operations, whereas a discussion with a board member likely would encompass more strategic risks.
The other issue is timeliness. To add the most value, the conclusions and recommendations for mitigating risks need to be issued in a timely manner. One way to achieve this is for auditors to start crafting their observations while the field work is underway, rather than waiting until it's concluded. Their thoughts are fresh, they can get near real-time feedback from the business units, and they can identify items that require follow up.
For instance, during status meetings, the audit team can initiate discussions on items that might be reportable, highlight their concerns, and check for inaccuracies.
"It allows the process to take hold earlier," Franklin says. By accelerating the delivery of meaningful feedback, decision-makers can act more quickly, he adds.

Home Headlines Agrigold Magazine launched
Agrigold Magazine launched
The WeComm Agri-media and Consultancy Limited has launched the first ever agribusiness magazine in Ghana dubbed the "Agrigold Magazine".
The main objective of the magazine which would be published twice a year and has an online news portal version, – www.agrigoldmagazine.com – to simplify the message of agriculture to all stakeholders in order to drive growth in the industry.
A Deputy Minister for the Ministry of Food and Agriculture, Alhaji Mohammed Hardi Tufeirua, who launched the magazine in Accra said Agrigold Magazine would play an important role in the implementation of the government's flagship programme, Planting for Food and Jobs and thus contribute to make Ghana food and nutritionally secure by 2030.
He said the magazine brigaded the information gap among players in the agriculture sector by highlighting all that was needed to successfully engage in the sector such as the necessary technology, machines, input and most importantly information.
"I have gone through Agrigold and it contains a lot and every farmer and person who wants to do business or have a career in agriculture needs to be aware of this magazine – there has never been a magazine of this sought which is seeking to talk about agriculture and provide information", he said.
According to the Deputy Minister, a lot of things are happening in Ghana particular in the agriculture sector and every Ghanaian must participate in it participate.
"The name of magazine suggests there is Gold in agriculture and every one should participate in it – because there is a lot of benefits from Agriculture", he added.
He further stated the government was in full support of the publication of the magazine and would do everything needed to sustain the project.
On his part, the General Manger of WeComm Agri-media and Consultancy Limited, Mr Edwin Narter said aim of the magazine and the news portal was to help Ghanaians tap into the hidden worth in agriculture by presenting to them opportunities in sector in the way they can easily understand.
"Indeed, there is gold in Agriculture and Agrigold is the beginning towards harnessing this Gold", he said.
"This magazine seeks to inform, educate and inspire the general public primary in the field of agri-business by sharing very interesting live style articles of a woman or man in the business in a very simple language taking away all the technical terms in the business", he added.
He said the magazine also recognize successful agrobusiness or agrobusiness icons adding that the first edition which was just launched highlighted the role Prof Irene Susana Egyir the first dean in the School of Agriculture, University of Ghana has played in the development of Agriculture in Ghana
In a remark, the Chief Executive Officer of Newage Agric Solutions Limited, Mr William Kotey said the magazine and news portal would help make agribusiness attractive to all Ghanaians, particularly the teaming unemployed youth.
He said the Agrigold would provide information that would help train people interested in farming who might not have any experience in the field adding that the news portal also gave people the opportunity to ask question.
"We are hoping that the interest that this would bring to agriculture would be sustain and indeed we are hoping that more would participate in agriculture", he added.

If you were old enough to vote in 2004, then you probably remember the refrain "I'm moving to Canada!" It was every disenchanted liberal's threat after George W. Bush's reelection. Wags even made a "United States of Canada" map, attaching the Democratic states of the coasts and Upper Midwest to their friendly northern neighbor.
The sentiment was understandable. American liberals have longingly observed for decades that most industrialized nations are consistently ahead of the U.S. in adopting their preferred policies: universal health coverage, guaranteed paid sick leave, public child-care services, gun control, mass transit, and a price on pollution.
Saying we should be more like Europe may sound faintly un-American to some, and can prompt objections that our culture is nothing like that of, say, France or Sweden. But saying we should be more like Canada? Those affable, English-speaking folks right across the border? Like us, they are a nation of immigrants, a former British colony, and when they say "football" they don't mean soccer.
And so Canada has become the American liberal's lodestar. "Why can't we have a rational policy, more like Canada's?" goes the lament, which can be applied to almost any issue. But there is one glaring, and growing, exception: energy and climate change.
Since the Conservative Party won a majority in Parliament in 2011, the federal government has eviscerated conservationists, indigenous nations, European commissioners, and just about anyone opposing unfettered oil production as unpatriotic radicals. It has muzzled climate change scientists, killed funding for environmental science of every stripe, and in a recent pair of unprecedented omnibus bills, systematically dismantled the country's most significant long-cherished environmental laws.
As Grist's John Upton has noted, Canada ranks near the very bottom of the Climate Change Performance Index, below China and Russia and closer to Iran than to the U.S. It withdrew from the Kyoto Protocol. Prime Minister Stephen Harper has even taken the unusual measure of issuing a statement praising the new Australian government's intention to repeal its carbon tax.
The Prime Minister's OfficeCanadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper loves the oil industry. He's not so interested in the climate.
Meanwhile, Harper's government is waging war on environmental science and advocacy. His environment minister calls the existence of Arctic warming "debatable." The CBC reports, "In the past few years, the federal government has cut funding to hundreds of renowned research institutes and programs. Ottawa has dismissed more than 2,000 federal scientists and researchers and has drastically cut or ended programs that monitored smoke stack emissions, food inspections, oil spills, water quality and climate change." Opponents of oil-sands development and pipeline construction are being bullied by xenophobic attacks from the government.
So when it comes to climate and energy, Canada looks not like Western Europe, but more like its bloated, backward neighbor to the south. But why?
Canadian political observers agree that if the government were to attempt a significant shift rightward on many other major issues — privatizing the Canadian national healthcare system, for example — the public outcry would be swift and severe. So why has the Harper government felt emboldened on climate?
It's not because Canadians reject the well-established science of climate change. According to a Canada 2020/Université de Montréal national survey from October 2013, 81 percent of Canadians believe there is "solid evidence" the Earth is warming, as opposed to 61 percent of Americans. Majorities of Canadians also say global warming is caused by human activity and they are concerned about it. On every climate-related question, they are to the left of the U.S. public. And while Canada's government has enthusiastically promoted the Keystone XL pipeline to move oil from the tar sands to the Gulf of Mexico, only 56 percent of Canadians support it, according to the Pew Research Center. That's lower than the 65 percent of Americans who favor Keystone, even though the U.S. government is the one that might block the proposal.
The Canadian government is out of step with its constituents for one main reason: money, and the current prime minister's faith in oil to produce it. The tar sands are located in Alberta, an interior western province north of Montana. As you might expect, this is a more conservative region than the coasts, and it forms Harper's power base. His riding (Canadian for district) is there. Harper and his cronies are believers in the economic power of natural-resource exploitation, and they are especially eager to deliver the goods to his home base.
Energy exploration has been a fixation of Harper's throughout his career. He switched parties because he opposed the Liberal Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau's energy policy, and he has been promoting drilling ever since. "Our prime minister's dad was an oil executive for the Canadian branch of ExxonMobil," notes Keith Stewart, an energy analyst at Greenpeace Canada. "His first big speech outside Canada was in the U.K., on how Canada is an emerging 'energy superpower' and the future is in the tar sands. For him this isn't just one issue among many, it's the core piece of his economic strategy. Oil is our largest single export, the largest recipient of direct foreign investment. It plays a larger economic role than it has in the U.S." In 2010, energy accounted for 22.5 percent of Canada's merchandise exports.
Until recent years, the difficulty of extracting tar-sands oil made it economically infeasible. It requires about five times as much energy to extract as conventional oil. But because global oil demand has been outstripping supply, resulting in higher oil prices, it is now profitable to process oil from the tar sands. But it is still difficult to get it to market. That's why the Canadian government is trying to build pipelines to both its east and west coasts as well as Keystone XL. "They see themselves as very focused on the economy, and oil and gas as a driver of economic growth, and that strong environmental regulations are an impediment to that growth," says P.J. Partington, a federal policy analyst at the Pembina Institute, a Canadian environmental advocacy organization.
Combine that sense of powerlessness with the world's third-largest proven oil reserves, and you get a lot of people thinking there is not too much downside and plenty of upside to tar-sands development. Of course, there is no reason Canada's economy must depend on despoiling the Earth. Most Canadian electricity comes from hydropower. Canada has wind, sun, and a world-class education system that can foster technology companies, especially if the Canadian government stops cutting back on scientific research.

The recent escalation of, first the war of words and then physical encounters in the Aegean Sea and off Cyprus, necessitates a new appraisal of Turkey's policy towards its neighbours and of its liabilities vis-à-vis the European Union and NATO.
Ankara's bellicose rhetoric and actions are direct consequences of a foreign policy choice, even if this choice is intended to feed the nationalist wave at home ahead next year's elections. Elections or not, rulers in Ankara have made a choice to challenge past alliances and partnerships as well as the responsibilities deriving from them. They have decided to go it alone in a very difficult and risky international environment fuelled by overconfidence, reassured by the West's appeasement policy and Russia's courting. Taking full advantage of and playing with country's geographical location they seem resolute to take their share of fossil fuels thought to exist in the Aegean seabed and off Cyprus. The energy hunger of Turkey is a strong drive.
Let us briefly assess the West's stand vis-à-vis Turkey. Westerners are keen to stick with President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan for four major reasons: to continue to sell goods, in particular arms and to bid for juicy engineering projects for which there is a lack of local expertise; to keep Turkey in NATO so to avoid pushing it into Putin's lap; to reward Erdoğan for his abandoning of EU membership and in the short-run, to ensure that Turkey continues to block the mass movement of refugees, migrants and now ex-jihadists towards Europe.
Consequently Western declarations and reports are systematically self-censored, over-cautious and helpless. But they, in turn, constantly hearten Ankara, which redoubles its bellicose rhetoric and actions. The latest examples are the gross avoidance of condemning Turkish attack on the Kurdish enclave of Afrin in northern Syria, as well as Turkish threats against Cyprus and Greece.
In view of these circumstances one needs to re-evaluate the policy options at hand, especially those that are taken for granted. I would briefly examine two of these policy myths: the leverage deriving from Turkey's EU prospects and the leverage based on the re-unification talks in Cyprus.
Turkey's EU prospects are stone dead. Until the official end of the present status of "negotiating country" that may happen in April, the two sides will continue to pretend things are proceeding normally.
In Europe, there is no government, nor public opinion in favour of Turkey's EU membership.
In Turkey, according to a recent study, 73 and 67 percent of Turks have unfavourable views of the EU and NATO respectively. Turkey under Erdoğan's iron fist is being de-Westernised at an accelerated pace, forcibly reversing the two-century-old trend, and leaving no room for any Western bond in the future.
More critically, the end of Turkey's EU membership bid cancels and supersedes the achievements of last 20 years in terms of good bilateral relations with EU member states. The bellicose rhetoric and actions of the last years against a number of EU countries, EU politicians and citizens are strong signals of the Turkish centrifugal drive.
Turkey's contractual obligations towards its neighbours deriving from EU membership prospects were not limited to diplomatic relations. Today two infrastructure projects that have a direct bearing on EU countries and which require due impact assessment are proceeding without it. These are the Akkuyu nuclear power plant project, close to Cyprus and situated in an area prone to earthquakes, and the so-called Istanbul Channel, a second artificial Bosphorus that is considered by specialists as potentially fatal for the whole Black Sea region, including the rivers feeding it.
With EU prospects gone, the stakes are open for all options. Naturally and in view of the above, no one should bet on EU and/or NATO ties to ease tensions with neighbours, particularly Cyprus and Greece, or to call upon Ankara to be in conformity with the acquis communautaire in terms of environmental protection and disaster prevention.
The sole leverage lies with a possible European/Western economic embargo if invasion and/or annexation of an EU territory becomes a fact. All other deeds will go unchecked and unnoticed by the West until countries are directly or indirectly affected, for instance by the so-called Istanbul Channel which has the potential to destroy the existing ecological equilibrium as far as the source of the Danube in Germany, by emptying the Black Sea.
The second assumption is the never-ending Cyprus reunification talks. Although reunification is an ideal solution to work out existing problems one should understand that with the shifting nature of the Ankara regime it seems more remote than ever. There is a simple, but fundamental reason for this: a non-democratic regime cannot tolerate an obviously democratic solution such as a federation!
Finally one should never forget that the whole rationale of Erdoğan's regime is based on power politics, exactly like its role model Russia, ready to resort to blackmail, threats, muscle-flexing, lawlessness, inside the country and elsewhere, as long as it can.
Of course this overblown might will not succeed in the long term but would seriously disrupt the status quo ante with neighbours and lead to unpredictable damage, like in Afrin today or with two Greek military border guards taken hostage in Thrace or the confrontational stance off Cyprus for fossil fuel inspection.


James Trussart guitars are instantly recognisable. Their classic guitar shapes are made, either partially or completely, out of heavily worked-on steel. Trussart Steelcasters are highly prized instruments. They can be seen in the hands of countless professional artists. Trussart guitars often feature highly engraved sections on both body and headstock. These are coupled with perforated metal and other pieces of metallic hardware. The necks (and often the main part of the bodies) are made of wood for a feel that is familiar to all guitarists.
James Trussart makes solid, semi-acoustic and resonator guitars, all with an element of metal involved in the construction. These are boutique, aspirational guitars. They inspire a lot of discussion due to their attention-grabbing appearance. Trussart hand-builds his guitars in Los Angeles. The metal bodies are distressed to achieve that distinctive look. The metallic construction affects the sound too. Trussarts are known for having a very precise attack and a huge amount of sustain.
We love these guitars and believe them to be modern classics. Browse our full selection of Trussart guitars online. You can also contact your local guitarguitar store to find out more about these unique, high end guitars.
Question: Who plays James Trussart guitars?
James Trussart guitars are played by Bob Dylan, Billy Gibbons, James Hetfield, Hams Zimmer, Warren Ellis (Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds), and Reeves Gabrels (The Cure, David Bowie).
Question: How do Trussart relic their metal bodies?
Some steps of the process are an industry secret! But part of the process involves leaving the metal bodies exposed to the weather and outside elements for a period of weeks. They are allowed to rust, before a treatment to stop the corrosion is used. After that, a sanding process is carried out with a final clear coat applied to seal the finish.
Question: What type of pickups do Trussart use on their guitars?
James Trussart normally use Arcane Inc. pickups on their guitars. Arcane make a variety of different pickup models.

Meet BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee (BCBST). It is the largest health plan in Tennessee, serving more than 3.4 million members. Dr. JD Hickey is CEO, and one of AHIP's new board members. He recently spoke with us about his career journey and his health plan's goals and values.
With dual medical and law degrees, how has your background influenced your work as CEO of BCBST?
Hickey: There's a saying about being a jack of all trades but master of none… I don't think you'd want me scrubbing in for surgery or leading a jury trial.
But really, our team is full of experts who love to dig into the details of everything from contracts and regulations to clinical quality metrics. My background understanding of both landscapes helps me support our people, which is one of my most important roles.
How did you make the decision to become involved as a member of the AHIP Board?
Hickey: Our company has been active with AHIP for a long time, so there was never any question about whether I'd want to deepen my own participation by serving as a board member. I see it as an extension of serving our BlueCross members.
AHIP advocates effectively on behalf of millions of Americans, both those with commercial health coverage and those in Medicare Advantage or managed Medicaid plans. It's our collective job to make sure people have access to affordable coverage and quality care.
And I trust that under Marilyn's [Tavenner] leadership, the AHIP team will continue their unparalleled record of positive impact.
What does the future of health care look like for patients, health plans, and providers?
Hickey: That's a great question, and I believe AHIP can play a role in driving positive answers. The potential for change in health care over the next three-five years could be even bigger than what we saw after the passage of the Affordable Care Act.
Our experience in Tennessee has shown there's plenty of opportunity for improvement, especially in the unstable individual market. But we've also seen how change can be disruptive. Whenever possible, we want to minimize disruption as much as we can for our state and for our members.
Health plans have become accustomed to change as an everyday reality, and I'm confident we will step up to help lead a stable transition.
What are some new initiatives or projects you're leading at BCBST?
Hickey: We continue to make great strides in our clinical quality programs – we're all very proud of achieving 4-Star ratings for our Medicare Advantage, Commercial PPO and Medicaid plans – and continued improvement is a top priority. A big part of that is accelerating our efforts to bring more and more providers into value-based reimbursement contracts. Changing the incentive structure to reward positive outcomes is the right thing to do for our members, and we can see that it's working.
Improving population health through philanthropic investments is another key effort. The BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee Health Foundation is actually one of the largest private foundations in the state and it's the only one focused on health. That presents a tremendous opportunity for impact. One important example is our work to combat the misuse and abuse of prescription opioids.
Looking internally, I'm proud of our culture of inclusion, which helps us better understand and serve our increasingly diverse membership. We're also putting a lot of effort into our career development programs to ensure we grow and retain top talent.
BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee's focus is on people and relationships. Why is this so important to the organization?
Hickey: Our mission is peace of mind through better health. That's something we can only deliver on because of our great people who treat every customer, colleague and business partner with empathy and respect.
Our employees live and work alongside the people we serve, so we understand their values and aspirations and struggles. Being of and for Tennessee is at our core, and it's why so many individuals and companies trust us to manage their health coverage.


The Kessler Second Shooter is a motion control slider system, with the ability to control up to 3 axes (slide, pan, tilt) with the full setup. It attaches onto any of the existing Kessler sliders, and with MagPak batteries, you can perform moves that are manual, programmed, timelapse, and stop-motion, all in the field and away from power outlets.
My company Wilkinson Visual was working on a pair of videos to promote tourism in Southwest Colorado, as well as a 3-part interview video for a local non-profit business, so these projects presented my team and I with the perfect opportunities to use and test the Kessler Second Shooter in a real production environment.
First of all, the Second Shooter Bundle "Complete," includes a lot of parts. It was a bit overwhelming at first, but building the kit for the first time was actually pretty easy. I've used the Kessler CineDrive a few times, which is sort of like the bigger brother of the Second Shooter, so my experiences with that made it easier for me to work with the components, as some are similar.
Setup and teardown gets easier and quicker with practice, and with just a little bit of studying, you quickly figure out what size gears you need for what– which is good because the informational material online for the Second Shooter I felt was a little lacking. Their video features are scattered, and the manual itself could be a bit better. It's great for going through menu settings, but when it came to the physical setup and pulley sizes, I found it to not tell me the information I was looking for. It's a good thing that the controller and setup was so intuitive, otherwise I would have had a hard time on the first few setups!
I set it up once at home, doing manual moves, just plugged into AC power and freaking the dog out. Each axis made a fair amount of noise during these manual moves, so I was apprehensive at first about using it during an interview session. Once I set up a programmed move though, it ran whisper quiet! Awesome.
The following morning my buddy Jakob and I took it out for a timelapse. All of the kit we needed to bring to pull this off added up fast. Driving right to the location would have been fine, but we had about a mile hike, mostly uphill, to get to a good vantage point on private property. Two tripods, the weighty head unit, batteries, slider motor, slider, cameras and lenses made up our kit.
I set up a static timelapse on a separate tripod as a safety shot, just in case I couldn't get the Second Shooter working. The so-so experiences with the CineDrive and the older Oracle controller have taught me to have a backup plan, but in any case I was hopeful that the Second Shooter might be a bit easier and intuitive than both of those.
And you know what? It was! I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to setup and run a 3-axis timelapse move! Getting the slider mounted onto two tripods on a hill was the trickiest part, but once that was balanced out, we plugged everything together and ran a few test moves to check the weight bearing as well as the frame options. I found this out later, but the Second Shooter can actually control 6-axes when two controllers are linked via "Bridge Mode" via an update that occurred after I already took the Second Shooter out for testing. You can learn more about that feature here.
One thing in particular that I liked about this kit were the batteries. I don't know how, but they are actually compact and lightweight– WAY smaller than the battery pack needed for the CineDrive. Big thumbs up for that. They connect magnetically to the slider motor mount, and then the controller magnetizes itself to the battery. Pretty sweet.
While that particular timelapse didn't turn out so great, we returned to the location a few nights later for a starlapse. After running all night, the battery was only around 50% when I was done. You can see the timelapse at 1:24 of the video below.
It's too bad we got some pretty bad flaring in the camera lens– there was a bright gas station in the center of town that absolutely ruined the original move we were planning to do. We set it up looking more east than originally planned, but the client still liked it. Here's a still frame from a timelapse we ran facing the other direction, again just as a safety shot.
The Second Shooter can plug directly into a camera's remote port, in this case it was a 5DmIII, so we were able to set up a shoot-move-shoot control, and even set parameters for photos to be taken both before and after the programmed move.
Even though I used the Second Shooter for timelapses first, my primary purpose for having this kit was to use it as a second camera angle for a series of interviews. A local non-profit business needed to shoot 4 interviews over 2 days, so I had lined up a small team to make that happen, with the Second Shooter running the B-camera.
The second angle was a safety shot, and will likely end up as only one or two quick cuts in the final edit, but it was nice to have a backup just in case something went wrong with our A-camera videos.
Mounted with a GH4, I set the Second Shooter's controller to a programmed move that would do a full slide and a short pan, to create a subtle orbit effect. I set it to "loop" and then it ran on its own for the duration of the interview, while making hardly any noise. In this short excerpt below, you'll see the A-camera angle, and then it cuts to the B-camera on the Second Shooter.
Speaking of the controller, I'm kind of torn as to whether or not I like it. With just a simple set of buttons and very basic display screen, it feels a bit dated. Don't get me wrong, it was actually much easier to use than the Kessler KoS app for the CineDrive, and so intuitive that I never had to reference the manual when operating the controller. I just think that for a motion control system where you're dropping some dough, you might get something a bit more visually appealing. I'm probably just spoiled from iPads and really good looking, free, functional apps for my phone, so this is just me being picky about aesthetics.
A little bird did tell me that Kessler is working on a wifi solution that will allow the Second Shooter to be controlled and programmed via the KoS app. No word on what kind of physical product or price that might come in at, but it is under development.
So back to the video shoot– Again, the noise wasn't noticeable. I can't the same for the Edelkrone or the Red Rock Micro One Man Crew, where with those if you get too close to the mics, you can totally hear the motor noise.
One thing I did keep an eye on were the control cables– they dangle and coil a little bit, so I was worried they might catch on part of a tripod or snag somewhere. I ended up just using a little gaffer's tape to secure the direction of the cables to keep them in check.
The Kessler Second Shooter is an awesome kit for timelapse photographers who are looking for easy to setup, reliable, repeatable, motion timelapses. It's also a slick piece of kit for a second angle on video shoots, proving a quiet, looping, motion to interview shots. If you plan to pick up a Second Shooter, Kessler has recently released a starter guide on their website which will be hugely helpful for new owners.
We give the Kessler Second Shooter four out of five stars for being a fantastic solution for motion control moves for both timelapses and video shoots.
Thanks to Jakob Skogheim and Jennifer Meunier for the BTS photos!

Q: Is it possible to get values with C# from a dynamically added row with Javascript? I have a table and rows are added by users by clicking in a button. I do this with Javascript.
But then I have to get the values with C# and add then to database. C# is mandatory.
How can I do this?

A: Use AJAX to get/send the values from and to the server.

A: Probably the best way to do this would be to use AJAX. Since you're already using JavaScript, it would be a simple matter of adding the service call at the finalization stage of the action to implement the database changes directly.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa479042.aspx

A: you can do it by using jquery & ajax
if you dont want you can put all new values in new rows in a hidden field (with a proper structure) and read hidden field value in server side

San Francisco — A former front desk clerk at the Ramada Inn in South San Francisco who sexually assaulted a maid last year will now stand trial.
As of Friday, three days of jury trial and the second day of jury selection had been completed.
According to the district attorney, Navjit Singh, 25, approached the victim while she was cleaning a room in September 2011. Singh put his hand down her shirt, pushed her onto a bed and lay on top of her and began to pull off her clothing.
When the victim began to scream, the defendant got up and began to apologize.
At that point, the defendant returned to the front desk and the victim went to tell another maid about the incident. According to the DA, the victim did not want to tell a hotel manager about what happened because she was afraid of losing her job or being deported because she had an expired tourist visa from El Salvador.

Shalosh is the third release by guitarist Jon Madof's power trio Rashanim. One of the leading lights of the Radical Jewish Culture movement, Madof works with his electrifying trio to update traditional Yiddish and Hassidic melodies with the infectious rhythms of surf music and the throttling, riff-driven frenzy of indie rock.
Not all impetuous energy and testosterone, the trio explores a range of emotions with maturity and restraint, providing sonic space even in the densest passages. Resonating with cinematic atmosphere, a number of pieces are purely acoustic, delivered with subtly nuanced dynamics. Winding their way throughout the album, these compositions weave a broad aural canvas for the trio to work with.
Unlike their previous album, the stellar Masada Rock (Tzadik, 2005), which featured interpretations of John Zorn's Masada songbook, this release finds them exploring all original material (and one traditional tune), ripe with pop song tunefulness.
Although Madof is the ensemble's principal composer, bassist Shanir Ezra Blumenkranz and drummer Mathias Künzli play far more than support roles in his excursions. Their interplay is tight and in the pocket. Blumenkranz makes a number of arresting statements on a highly manipulated electric bass, using a ring modulator to excellent effect on "Yosefa." His psychedelic, pitch-bend fuzz solo on "Ein Gedi" perfectly complements Madof's wigged-out, Hendrixian wah-wah meltdown. Künzli demonstrates a keen wit, easily navigating the snappy drive of "Cracow Niggun," with its slippery dynamics and sudden tempo shifts.
Madof makes his solo statements with a rich, searing tone and an occasional torque of the wah-wah pedal. His bright, clean timbre on the surf-oriented themes is rich with slap-back reverb and deep echo; "Atbash" even conjures a long forgotten spy theme. His swirling statements on "Kavanah" build from melancholy blues digressions to anthemic opulence on the gradually intensifying forward momentum of "Kavanah."
From the brisk surf rock of "Yosefa" and "Atbash" to the lacerating, metal-tinged power-chord riffing of "Ein Gedi," the slashing, feedback-drenched "Jacob and Esau," and the gorgeously reserved acoustic meditations of "Da'At," "Jerusalem" and "Ar Aare," Rashanim veers far and wide, covering a range of styles and moods. One of the year's most entertaining releases, rich with memorable melodies and haunting themes, Shalosh is not to be missed.
Track Listing: Ein Gedi; Yosefa; Atbash; Da'At; Cracow Niggun; Kavanah; Jacob and Esau; Jerusalem; Ur Ur Lauter Georg; Ar Aare.
