There is a growing recognition of parasites as a significant factor in the successful conservation of endangered species. Determining parasite infection and load in free-ranging populations traditionally is done via necropsy or coproscopy. For studies of wild animals, fecal sample collection can result in bias because the individual identity of animals is unknown and multiple samples may be collected from the same individual, yet treated as unrelated samples. We studied parasite load in wild giant pandas (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) across six mountain ranges in China. Genetic identification was used to determine the exact number of individuals sampled. The parasite fauna consisted of five species, dominated by Baylisascaris shroederi. The pattern of statistical difference between mountains was artificially inflated when animal identity was not included in the model. Our results suggest that caution should be exercised in inferring patterns from comparative parasitologic studies when samples cannot be attributed to specific individuals. Using noninvasive genetic sampling to avoid such bias should form a standard tool in the management of endangered species and their parasites.

Scrutinizing hiring practices for FCPA violations
By Jaclyn Jaeger2016-03-15T14:30:00+00:00
The Securities and Exchange Commission and Department of Justice have been warning companies to proceed with caution when hiring the relatives of foreign government officials, lest they run afoul of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
Hiring a relative or friend of a government official does not, in itself, constitute an FCPA violation. What the SEC and the Justice Department will take issue with is when the intent of that employment is an indirect method of providing something of value to a government official to obtain or retain business.
"Perhaps in the past people didn't think of internships or jobs as a thing of value that could trigger an FCPA investigation," says Kristy Grant-Hart, managing director of Spark Compliance Consulting and former chief compliance officer of United International Pictures. Current FCPA investigations and enforcement actions suggest otherwise and, more importantly, that any industry could put themselves at risk.|
Compliance officers looking for a real-world example of hiring practices that will trigger an FCPA investigation and enforcement action don't have to look any further than Qualcomm. The wireless telecommunications maker this month agreed to a $7.5 million settlement with the SEC to resolve charges that it violated the FCPA by offering and providing full-time employment and paid internships to family members of Chinese government officials to obtain business.
In one example, Qualcomm agreed to hire an intern at the request of the director general of a Chinese agency. Human resources department e-mails described the intern as a "must place" and described the hiring as "quite important from a customer relationship perspective," according to the SEC order.
In another example, Qualcomm provided the son of a foreign official an internship and later permanent employment, even though his initial job interview resulted in a "no hire" decision because he was not a "skills match" and did not "meet the minimum requirements for moving forward with an offer," the SEC order stated. "Those who interviewed him agreed 'he would be a drain on teams he would join.'"
"Companies must effectively design and implement internal controls across all business operations to prevent FCPA violations, including its hiring practices."
Michele Wein Layne, Director, Los Angeles Office, SEC
That should have been the end of it, but a director in human resources at the direction of the executive vice president of Qualcomm's Global Business Operations, advocated for the hire: "We're operating under a different paradigm here than a normal 'no hire' decision tree."
The Qualcomm resolution marks the second time in less than a year that a company has resolved charges for FCPA violations related to the hiring of foreign government officials' relatives. In August 2015, the Bank of New York Mellon reached a $14.8 million settlement with the SEC for providing internships to three family members of two senior government officials affiliated with a Middle Eastern sovereign wealth fund with which BNY Mellon was seeking to maintain and expand its business.
"BNY Mellon provided the internships without following its standard hiring procedures for interns, and the interns were not qualified for BNY Mellon's existing internship programs," the SEC stated.
Compliance lessons
?The overall message that both the Qualcomm and BNY Mellon enforcement actions impart is not that companies shouldn't provide internships or employment to relatives of government officials. Rather, the message is that, if they are going to do so, those hires require enhanced scrutiny, oversight, and monitoring.
Enhance internal controls. According to a recent SEC statement, companies must effectively design and implement internal controls across all business operations to prevent FCPA violations, including hiring practices.To avoid a finding of corrupt intent, companies should conduct proper due diligence on all new hires, including querying them as to their relationship and affiliation with foreign government officials.
"Many companies have questionnaires that specifically ask that questions, 'Are you a government official? Are you related to a government official?' They give examples of what a government official is," says Sharie Brown, a partner at law firm Troutman Sanders and former compliance officer at Mobil Oil.
SEC ON QUALCOMM HIRING PRACTICES
Below is an excerpt from the SEC order, describing Qualcomm's hiring practices of the relatives of Chinese officials.
Qualcomm provided or offered full-time employment and paid internships to family members and other referrals of foreign officials at SOE 1, SOE 2 and Agency—often at the request of these foreign officials. Qualcomm referred to some of these individuals as "must place" or "special" hires.
Qualcomm offered employment to certain foreign officials' family members and referrals despite concerns, in some cases, that the individuals did not satisfy Qualcomm's hiring standards. Certain hires also had previously failed to obtain employment with Qualcomm through the standard hiring process. And in some cases, new positions were created for these hires.
Qualcomm provided or offered full-time employment and paid internships to family members and other referrals of foreign officials with the purpose of trying to influence those officials to take actions that would assist Qualcomm in obtaining or retaining business in China.
In one case, the Deputy General Manager of a subsidiary of SOE 2 asked Qualcomm employees in 2010 to find an internship at Qualcomm for her daughter. As one Qualcomm employee noted, "We received a request from the GM of [the telecom company's subsidiary] to help find an internship position for her daughter (currently studying in the U.S.) within QC. I discussed this with [high level official] and determined that it would be important for us to support given our cooperation with [the subsidiary]." Qualcomm employees understood that the daughter's "parents are [SOE 2 subsidiary] Dept. GM level and gave us great help for Q.C. new business development." Because "[the regional branch] is our strategic partner in China and plays an important role in leading all [the telecom company] adopting Qualcomm's technologies," Qualcomm employees believed that the internship "would be important for us to support given our cooperation with [the subsidiary]." Specifically, the internship "would be good because we are doing quite a bit with [the subsidiary], e.g., QChat and Rev. B."
In another case, between 2006 and 2010, Qualcomm provided the son of an executive responsible for network planning, construction, and maintenance at SOE 1, with: (1) support from a $75,000 research grant to an American university where he was studying, allowing him to retain his position in a PhD program and renew his student visa; (2) a Qualcomm internship; (3) subsequent permanent employment despite interviewers concluding that he did not meet Qualcomm's hiring standards for the position; and (4) a business trip to China followed by leave to visit his parents over the Chinese New Year, despite other employees expressing concern regarding his qualifications for the assignment. The EVP also personally provided this employee with a $70,000 loan to buy a home.
Source: Securities and Exchange Commission
For its part, Qualcomm said it has since taken steps to enhance its existing internal controls. In a statement, the company said it "now closely monitors to determine if a candidate has any relationship with an employee of a government agency or state-owned entity, and applies a stricter standard of scrutiny in an effort to avoid potential FCPA risks in the future."
Train those with hiring authority. Compliance officers should train human resources and any other employee with hiring authority on red flags related to hiring practices that would trigger FCPA exposure.
In Qualcomm's case, for example, most employees who worked in human resources did not receive FCPA training. "As a result, when Qualcomm offered paid internships or full-time employment to family members or referrals of Chinese foreign officials, it did not evaluate or attempt to mitigate the potential FCPA risks associated with such hires," the SEC order on Qualcomm stated.
FCPA risks to watch out for, like those cited in the Qualcomm and BNY Mellon enforcement actions, include requests for special treatment of applicants with associations to a foreign government official or a candidate's lack of qualifications. "In both cases, the candidates did not meet the baseline requirements for the particular positions," says Brown.
Document hiring decisions. The company should provide and maintain a job description at the outset, explaining the basic skills, abilities, and experience required to perform the job. "You need to be able to show that the person you hired was as qualified, if not more qualified, than the other applicants," says Jeremy Levin, a partner at law firm Baker Botts.
Compliance and HR departments should pay particular attention to potential hires that come by referral from a client or another person important to your business. "Instantly, that should raise a red flag," says Levin. "There has to be an authentic business purpose for making a hire—and that business purpose can't be that you're trying to get business."
More on the way?
?More enforcement actions, particularly in the financial services industry, may be on the way. Barclays this month became the latest bank to disclose in a securities filing that it is cooperating with the Justice Department and SEC "in relation to an investigation into certain of its hiring practices in Asia."
Just days earlier, HSBC similarly disclosed that the SEC is investigating the bank's "hiring practices of candidates referred by, or related to, government officials or employees of state-owned enterprises in Asia-Pacific." In a third example, JPMorgan said in a securities filing in 2013 that the SEC was seeking information and documents relating to the bank's "employment of certain former employees in Hong Kong and its business relationships with certain clients." That investigation remains ongoing.
In the aftermath of the Qualcomm and BNY Mellon enforcement actions, compliance and HR will need to jointly revisit their hiring policies to ensure they provide for adequate due diligence and keep the proper documentation necessary to refute any allegations of wrongdoing.
Compliance takeaways from Barclays' $6.3M FCPA settlement
Barclays joins a growing list of financial institutions to pay a penalty for violations of the books and records and internal accounting controls provisions of the FCPA due to questionable hiring practices.

Deutsche Bank has become the latest financial institution to pay a penalty for violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act over questionable hiring practices, showcasing a litany of compliance failures.

"He got angry and spit on our display, most of which got on to some of our pamphlets and little bit on me."
Who puts on a better Thanksgiving spread- capitalists or socialists? While we know the super-obvious answer to that question, many college students do not, so fans of the free-market at Portland State University thought they'd illustrate with tables demonstrating each.
We were having an argument over capitalism and the guy was fervently for socialism, so when I pointed out his inconsistencies and the flaws in his argument, he got angry and spit on our display, most of which got on to some of our pamphlets and little bit on me. I figured that it was a good sign that we were doing the right thing.
However, they also opened up a lot of eyes and spread the word about their organization said Mentrum, who is the coordinator for the school's chapter of Turning Point USA.
We got several new people interested in our group and signed up to join. We had some very thoughtful and civil discussions with several people who disagreed with us, and we really only had three short negative encounters, so I would consider that to be a general success.
We can all be thankful for displays of honesty and open minds on campus. They are increasingly rare.

The Biggest Bread Soup in the World
March 24, 2022 Dan Lewis Uncategorized 0
Pictured above is Tjörnin, a lake (well, it's really a pond, but it's called a lake) in the Icelandic capital of Reykjavík. If you've been to Reykjavík, you've probably been past Tjörnin; not only is the lake extraordinarily picturesque, but it's also in a great location — city hall and many of Reykjavík's museums overlook it. That's not an accident; as the Guide to Iceland explains, "as the city's central feature, urban development was focused around the lake," first by housing wool and fabric workshops, and later becoming the municipal hub it is today.
But along the way, Tjörnin became a home for something else: a lot of birds, as seen below.
And to make that a year-round phenomenon, Tjörnin may be the world's only lake with a hot tub.
Iceland, 2008
In the early days of Reykjavík, Tjörnin was a prime hunting ground for those on a duck hunt. But in 1919, according to Iceland Magazine, authorities banned hunting. As a result, "the bird population has increased, with more species nesting at the pond" and today, the city takes steps to foster that experience; "the city exterminator removes the eggs of seagulls and destroys the nests of seagulls who attempt to settle at the pond, since seagulls prey on smaller birds and their nests," per the magazine.
As a result, modern-day Tjörnin attracts a lot of different species of birds — the Guide to Iceland linked above claims that "over forty different bird species including Arctic Tern, Eider Ducks, Gadwalls. Greylag Geese, Seagulls, Scaup and Mallard Ducks" are usually around, and "quite often, one will also see Whooper Swans crowding together on the pond surface." To laypeople, that may not mean anything, but to birders, it's a big deal; fans of bird-spotting come from all over the North Atlantic to visit Tjörnin in hopes of seeing a bird they've never seen before. There are so many people that come to feed the birds that one children's poem described the lake as "stærsta brauðsúpa í heimi," which translates to "the biggest bread soup in the world."
But in normal conditions, that can't happen year-round. Tjörnin, like any other pond or lake in Iceland, freezes over for part of the winter. And the forty species of birds that would visit aren't going to bother if they can't go for a swim and grab a bite to eat. That'd be bad for tourism and bad for the birds (maybe — they'd probably find another place to hang out), so authorities came up with a solution. During the winter, in the northeast corner of Tjörnin, "the city uses hot water to maintain the temperature of the water here above freezing," per Iceland Magazine. As a result, you'll see this:
Lots of ice everywhere — except for one little carveout. And in that carveout come the birds. (If you want more images from other angles, click here or here.)
And in fact, if you really want to feed the birds, it may be better for you to come to Tjörnin during the winter. Not only will they all be gathered in one place, but it may be more bird-friendly anyway. In 2013, Reykjavík officials put out an advisory, asking residents (and visitors by extension) to not feed the birds in the summer months. Per a local news report, feeding the birds during those months "puts ducklings at an increased risk from preying seagulls," and the baby ducks are "particularly vulnerable during the months of June and July when egg hatching and chick raising is at its peak." The bread attracts seagulls who, while they're in the area, may grab a duckling to round out their meal.
Bonus fact: In the United Kingdom, there's a royal officeholder called the Marker of the Swans, whose role is to organize a swan event on the Thames each year and, in general, to advise organizations on issues surrounding swan welfare. (It's a pretty niche role.) And in 2018, he had reason to intervene in a public engagement campaign. A group led by a pet food company — and working with swan conservatories, so it isn't all that crazy that this happened — started an effort to get people to stop feeding bread to swans, as it isn't all that nutritious and swans deserve better diets. All well and good, sure, but the swans didn't really like the idea. The Queen's Swan Marker, David Barber, told the press that he was "receiving reports of underweight cygnets and adult birds, and a number of swans from large flocks have begun to wander into roads in search of food" and asked people to resume tossing bread ("provided it is not moldy") to their avian neighbors.

Naval Academy Researcher Uses Microscopy and Characterization Suite
By Paul Menser, for CAES Communications
It was a homecoming of sorts when Dr. Elizabeth Getto came to the Center for Advanced Energy Studies (CAES) to make use of its Microscopy and Characterization Suite (MaCS).
A mechanical engineering instructor at the U.S. Naval Academy, Getto, 29, was born in Idaho Falls, the daughter of an instructor at the Naval Reactors Facility. The family left when she was 1, but the die was cast. Getto earned her master's and doctorate degrees in nuclear engineering from the University of Michigan, and when the Naval Academy put out word that they were looking for instructors, she answered the call, taking an assistant professorship in August 2016.
Through the Nuclear Science User Facilities (NSUF), Getto is conducting a rapid turnaround experiment (RTE) at CAES to study the effects of radiation and welding on oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) steels, commonly used in reactor vessels. The work is also being funded in part by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA).
"The materials challenge is the biggest one for advanced reactors," Getto said. Ultimately, the research will help engineers understand how long a reactor can be run before adverse conditions in the cladding need to be addressed.
RTEs are short-term projects of six to nine months with tightly focused goals. Getto is using the focused ion beam at Michigan, an NSUF partner facility, and the MaCS at CAES for characterization. The advantage of working through NSUF is that the funding is taken care of, allowing her to focus on the research.
"As a new professor at an undergraduate institution, $50,000 means an awful lot to me," Getto said. It also signals a relationship between the Naval Academy and NSUF that she hopes to see expand. The USNA has about nine faculty and 45 people on staff overall focused on nuclear research, plus a wealth of materials. In Getto's research, the focus is on MA 956 ODS alloy, a friction welded iron-based superalloy in relatively short supply.
While she plans to publish, perhaps the biggest impact of her research could be the involvement of Naval Academy midshipmen, who will be working with the results of her microcharacterization work on the transmission electron microscope at CAES. In the next year, she hopes to have midshipmen using the TEM themselves.
Coming from a Navy family, Getto has had first-hand view of nuclear continuity that goes back to the early 1950s and the era of Admiral Hyman Rickover (Getto teaches in Rickover Hall). This gives the Navy a special leadership position in the nuclear research community, she said.
"The next generation has some new ideas," she said. "We're much more willing to reach across the aisle to environmentalists, and more open to new technologies. It's one thing for a professor to say, 'Nuclear energy is the solution,' but to get buy-in from midshipmen at the Academy is another matter."
Getto's work has recently been used to set the standard for ion irradiation techniques at recent best practices workshops. While at the University of Michigan, she received many awards for her research, including first place in the 2016 Innovations in Fuel Cycle Research Award: Advanced Fuels Division and the 2016 American Nuclear Society Materials Science and Technology Division's Student Literary Award.

Says Bill Nelson "skipped 45 percent of the hearings on national security."

Fact-checking Gov. Rick Scott's attack on Sen. Bill Nelson for skipping security hearings
Gov. Rick Scott portrays U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson as an "empty chair" who often skips meetings on the important topic of security.
"Nelson skipped 45 percent of the hearings on national security," said a TV ad from Scott's campaign. "National security! Bill Nelson doesn't write laws — he doesn't even show up."
The ad refers to Nelson's tenure on the Senate Armed Services Committee. Nelson is defending his seat in a close battle with Scott.
Attacks for missed hearings are common. But these attacks omit several caveats about committee attendance.
"I have never been one that put much stock in the 'attendance' statistics to measure a senator's work" on the Senate Armed Services Committee, said Arnold Punaro, who served as the committee's Democratic staff director from 1983 to 1997.
Senate Armed Committee meetings
Scott's campaign published a spreadsheet showing that between 2001 and 2018, Nelson missed 45 percent (or 284 out of 636) of Senate Armed Service Committee hearings. (He wasn't on the committee in 2011-12.) The campaign said it counted full committee hearings and subcommittees on which Nelson served and was expected to attend.
Nelson's attendance varied with each two-year congressional session, ranging from 44 percent in 2005-06 to 76 percent for the current 2017-18 session.
Scott's campaign pulled attendance records from the Senate Armed Services Committee website and the Government Printing Office. However, attendance isn't published for closed or classified hearings.
Since there aren't public attendance records for all types of hearings, that means we don't get the full picture of Nelson's service on the committee.
Dan McLaughlin, Nelson's spokesman, said by his count Nelson attended 104 of 126 Armed Services hearings, informal meetings, sessions and briefings — including more than two dozen that were closed or classified — in 2017-18.
stated on January 10, 2021 in an interview on Fox
"Republicans have no way to communicate" after tech companies cut off Parler.
PolitiFact can't verify the Nelson campaign's figures since that includes meetings that lack a public attendance record.
The limits of sheer attendance
Experts on Congress agreed that a straight-up attendance record doesn't tell us much.
"A hearing about a national security threat, for example, is much more significant than routine budget hearings the (committee) holds every fiscal year," said Georgetown University professor Joshua Huder, who studies Congress.
It is common for senators, who serve on multiple committees and subcommittees, to miss hearings. Sometimes, multiple committees will hold hearings at the same time, forcing the senator to split their time or prioritize one hearing over another.
Roll Call, a Washington publication that regularly covers Congress, wrote in 2014 that unless the senator wields the gavel, he or she may only show up for five minutes, or when it is their turn to ask questions
"The results include guffaw-inducing scenes where even senior lawmakers enter the wrong hearing room, misidentify a witness and question the wrong person on the other side of the dais," Roll Call wrote.
Scott said Nelson "skipped 45 percent of the hearings on national security."
The Scott campaign's data for Nelson's 16 years on the Senate Armed Services Committee shows he missed 284 hearings out of 636.
However, this omits that for some types of hearings there is no publicly available attendance record. This count is not perfect.
We rate this statement Mostly True.

REPORT: Ontario's GDP recovered since recession, but wellbeing has room for improvement
Ontario Trillium Foundation (CNW Group/Ontario Trillium Foundation)
"A Profile of Wellbeing" notes that living standards, economic, food and housing insecurity and precarity of work are major issues for many Ontarians
TORONTO, Dec. 13, 2016 /CNW/ - In Canada, Ontario was hit hardest by the recession in 2008, and while Gross Domestic Product in the province has recovered since then, a new series of reports released today by the Ontario Trillium Foundation, called A Profile of Wellbeing in Ontario, point out that there is room to improve, and the Foundation believes its impactful strategic investments will help.
To help answer the question, "How are we really doing?", the Ontario Trillium Foundation - an agency of the Government of Ontario and one of Canada's largest granting foundations - commissioned the Canadian Index of Wellbeing to produce five detailed reports of community wellbeing for the North, West, East, and Central regions, and for the city of Toronto.
"As a public agency, the Ontario Trillium Foundation wants to ensure we are directing our resources to where there is the most need, so that we can have the greatest impact. We wanted to take an evidence-based approach, so that we could demonstrate the value of our investments. Using an index like the Canadian Index of Wellbeing allows us to make granting decisions that will make the biggest positive change to individuals and to communities. Being able to track how we are really doing in Ontario is the first step towards leaving a lasting effect on the public benefit sector," said Andrea Cohen Barrack, CEO Ontario Trillium Foundation, about the importance of the reports.
The CIW uses research to determine whether Canadians are making progress towards sustainable wellbeing in eight inter-connected domains, or categories - Health, Living Standards, Community Vitality, Environment, Leisure and Culture, Education, Time Use, and Democratic Engagement.
The United Nations and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development agree - the true measure of a country's progress must include the wellbeing of its citizens. The CIW shifts the focus from solely on the economy and Gross Domestic Product to include other critical domains of people's lives.
"The Canadian Index of Wellbeing came about because too much emphasis was being placed on economic growth and not enough on wellbeing. Gross Domestic Product only measures economic productivity and does not measure social progress. There's a global movement now looking beyond GDP, and that has helped foster the development of the CIW. We've created an Index that measures aspects of people's lives that really do matter to them," explained Bryan Smale, Director of the Canadian Index of Wellbeing at the University of Waterloo.
The Ontario Regional Reports contain information about crime rates, access to physicians, greenhouse gas emissions, stress rates, and commute times.
That is why OTF used the Index in the creation of our Action Areas - the areas in which OTF focuses its investments. As OTF accumulates more data, these reports in tandem with other sources will help establish the best measure for OTF's accumulated impact over the next decade.
"The Ontario Trillium Foundation deserves credit for having the vision to recognize that using a framework like the CIW to monitor progress in key areas was important to incorporate as part of its vision. Having this data will accelerate the work the Foundation can do. It will bring OTF closer to addressing issues of concern to people at a more localized level," said Smale.

A New Divan
Doireann Ní Ghríofa reads "The Crimson Shades"
Click here to watch a video of Doireann Ní Ghríofa reading "The Crimson Shades". This poem is the English version by Doireann Ní Ghríofa of an original poem written for "A New Divan" by the Emirati poet Nujoom Alghanem, inspired by the book of Suleika in Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's "West-Eastern Divan" (published 1819).
Click here to read the poem.
In 1819, the great German poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe published his West-Eastern Divan, a celebration through poetry of friendship between 'East' and 'West'. 200 years later, the world has radically moved on, but the need for a renewed initiative for dialogue and friendship between cultures has never been greater. With this in mind, Gingko has published a new, annotated translation of the original West-Eastern Divan, but also A New Divan - a new, multilingual poetry anthology for our times.

I remember back in 1994, Howard Stern decided to run for governor of New York as a Libertarian. But then everything went wrong. He won the primary overwhelmingly, but he refused to file paperwork with the government regarding the election. Then he didn't work with the Libertarian Party. I even recall him complaining on air that he was going to take a huge pay cut. In the end, he didn't run. And I always thought at the time that his real reason was that he knew he wasn't going to win. And should he win, he wasn't interested in the job. I think the same thing is true of our very own President Trump.
The thing about President Trump is that it is clear that he's very upset with how this whole presidency is getting in the way of his life. And it's understandable. Could his life have been any better than it was before he became President Trump? Think about it. The Apprentice had two seasons left — max. And you know that just about every newspaper editor in America was looking forward to a headline like this, "NBC to Trump: 'You're Fired!'" Really, it would have been crushing to his ego.
The best thing that could have happened to him is if he lost the general election. Because he got everything he was going to from the race itself: performance after performance in front of screaming fans. If he had lost, he would have shouted, "Voter fraud!" And his supporters would have bought it. In fact, it would have become a whole new spoke of the conspiracy theory wheel. But instead, Donald J Trump because President Trump, and it all went really badly. And don't forget: if he doesn't manage to win re-election, he's just a loser. It'll be hard to claim that it was voter fraud when the same system gave him four years in the White House.
I ran across an interesting little article over at New York, Fox News Tweets That Trump Was at the White House When He Was Actually at His Golf Course. Out of context, the fact that President Trump plays so much golf is no big deal. I've always had a problem with these complaints — even when leveled against presidents I didn't like. People have a right to a little R&R — even presidents. The problem is that Trump was one of the loudest voices complaining that Obama was always golfing.
A really stupid website called "The Obama Golf Counter" claims that Obama golfed on 306 days of his presidency. To put this into perspective, Dwight Eisenhower played about 800 rounds in his 8 years. But that still comes to 10 percent of his days including some golfing.
But Trump? According to Slate, in his first 9 weeks, President Trump has played golf at least 12 times. That's almost 20 percent of his days. And this is part of his first 100 days — you know: the action packed period when the president supposedly gets so much done.
On Sunday, the president spent an hour at Trump National. He didn't play golf, obviously. The White House claimed he had three meetings during that time. But based upon pictures, it looks like he spent the whole time with a couple of buds watching golf on television.
And that takes us back to the New York article, which was based on a tweet announcing the following, "News Alert: @POTUS spending weekend working at the White House." That was on a day he spent almost six hours golfing, if you consider the travel time. But I don't care how much he golfs. The world is doubtless safer when he is golfing. I bring it up only to point out that President Trump is not interested in his job.
I've often said that anyone would have to be crazy to want to be president. But I understand why Hillary Clinton wanted to be president: she's spent almost her whole life in politics. She cares about policy and wants to accomplish things. Now I think that Trump cares about things too. I think his instincts on a lot of things are liberal. But he doesn't care about them enough to have a vision. So he's there to just push whatever the Republican establishment offers him.
Remember when Trump was all against the Republican establishment? Remember what screw-ups they were? He made a lot of sense. But the grand total of the energy he was willing to expend fighting them was to call them names while in front of an audience.
That's what Trumpcare was all about. It wasn't anything close to what Trump promised. He didn't even get to the point of realizing that Obamacare was the most conservative healthcare reform that works. Why should he have to do unpleasant things now when he didn't before? He wants his old job, but with the addition of being called President Trump.
There are a lot of kinds of non-politicians who run for a major office. There's Al Franken who might not have held elected office, but was very involved in Democratic politics and who lived and breathed politics. He has gone on to be a great Senator. There's Arnold Schwarzenegger who was at least somewhat interested in politics and did try to do a good job as Governor of California. I think most people fall into the broad category of people who at least try to do the job.
Trump is not such a man. People talk about impeachment. People talk about the Twenty-Fifth Amendment. But I think it is much more likely that President Trump will just step down. He'll come up with an excuse, "The system itself is broken and the president just doesn't have the power to make America great again." Regardless, he wanted the title: President Trump. He never wanted the job.
He doesn't want the job — but he wants the money. The Trump brand was fading fast before the election. Now it's back in business. So I doubt he quits. He'd be a fool to run again, though — unless we're in the middle of a rah-rah war.
Going into this 'Presidency' I was thinking a lot about Al Franken. My longest time bonding with AF's humor was during a desperate drive from CA to NJ…during which I listened to a book-on-tape of "Why Not Me" (a humorous look at a self-named Franken character running for and becoming the POTUS). The stories of sharing coke and hookers with his brother and friends are almost uncountable….and the pace and rhythm of the work, somewhat plodding……but it appropriately leads to the anti-climax….he didn't really want the job.
I think this book is one of the reasons you probably wont ever see Al make a run. But I think he's a great guy, an exceptionally effective legislator and someone I wish were in the driving seat.
Given the current circumstances though, damn I am glad to see him where he is.
I think of this office holding being like wedding a rich old maid……you like the things it comes with, but you try not to spend any time at home.
Can we cancel the whole presidential library thing, this time around?
Oh, God, a Trump library. Every video of clips should be set to the "Benny Hill" music.
If they did that, I'd be there on opening day!
For those of us who are aware that Trump isn't really in to doing all that Presidential stuff, it's no surprise that he'd want to hand off the actual work to someone else. It was assumed that Mike Pence would be called upon to fill that roll. Now it's starting to look like the de facto POTUS is Jared Kushner.
For the record, I didn't vote for him either.

New G.V. "Sonny" Montgomery Advisement and Career Services Center dedicated at MSU-Meridian
Contact: James Carskadon
MERIDIAN, Miss.—A new advisement and career services center at the Mississippi State University-Meridian campus now honors the late U.S. Rep. G.V. "Sonny" Montgomery, a Meridian native and MSU alumnus.
Officials dedicated the G.V. "Sonny" Montgomery Advisement and Career Services Center during a formal ceremony Friday [May 19] at MSU-Meridian's College Park Campus. The facility, which opened in 2016 in the space that formerly housed the Barnes and Noble bookstore, provides students a centralized location to guide them through college at MSU-Meridian and into a career.
"This gift significantly impacts the success of our Partnership Pathways initiative with local community colleges while also promoting retention of current students," MSU-Meridian Administrative Director and Head of Campus Terry Dale Cruse said. "The Sonny Montgomery Advisement and Career Services Center serves as a hub for recruiting students to the Meridian Campus, encouraging them to reach graduation, and connecting them to meaningful jobs after degree completion."
The center is supported by MSU and the G.V. "Sonny" Montgomery Foundation, which was established more than a decade ago to support and encourage Montgomery's greatest interests.
"The Montgomery Foundation is excited to be able to partner with MSU-Meridian," Montgomery Foundation Board President and Executive Director Brad Crawford said. "Congressman Montgomery believed education is important, and this center represents his commitment to education, MSU and MSU-Meridian. This partnership is a natural fit."
The center serves as a "front door" for the College Park campus. Academic advisers can assist students interested in MSU-Meridian's Partnership Pathways agreements with local community colleges, designed to help students complete a four-year degree program after transitioning from a two-year college. Career Center personnel can help students find employment and internship opportunities, prepare resumes and improve job interview skills.
The Montgomery Foundation has continued its namesake's support of America's veterans. During his 15 terms in Congress, Montgomery was known as "Mr. Veteran" because of his unwavering support for military service members. The Montgomery G.I. Bill he established preserved the strength of the all-volunteer military force by providing education benefits for active duty National Guard and Reserve members.
The foundation has donated approximately $620,000 to Mississippi State, building upon gifts Montgomery made to the university for student scholarships before his death in 2006. Led by the G.V. "Sonny" Montgomery Center for America's Veterans, MSU has become one of America's most veteran-friendly universities. The lobby of MSU's Center for America's Veterans at Nusz Hall was dedicated to Montgomery last November. In addition to MSU, the Montgomery Foundation has supported several veteran-related causes and leadership programs in the Meridian area. For more on the foundation, visit www.sonnymontgomery.org.
MSU-Meridian serves the region of East Mississippi and West Alabama by providing highly educated and strongly motivated leaders in the fields of education, business, social services, the humanities, health care and technology. For more, visit www.meridian.msstate.edu.
MSU is Mississippi's leading university, available online at www.msstate.edu.

There's an interesting new feature in Lightroom 4.1 Release Candidate 2 – the ability to adjust 32 bit HDR images in Lightroom.
I confess I'm not that big a fan of HDR and I don't play with it often, but this picture is a good example of when I might use it. The component frames were taken last month in the Lake District near "our" village, Rosthwaite. These have been my favourite trees since I came across them early on a misty Christmas morning 5 years ago and on my recent visit, as you can see, there was a huge contrast range and the clouds were extraordinarily bright. It was an obvious HDR scene.
I do these because there's always a risk that during the culling phase of my workflow I'll mistakenly decide that a frame is badly-exposed or badly-composed, so the green reminds me that it is intended to be part of an HDR or panorama.
But until today I didn't do anything else with the pictures – I don't want to have folk thinking I'm getting into HDR!
So, what's the new Lightroom workflow?
Choose the menu command Edit In > Merge to HDR Pro in Photoshop.
As well as overall and local white balance, I changed some Basic panel values and produced the final picture below.
It does make me wonder. I did so little to this picture in Photoshop other than run the HDR Pro dialog, so how far are we away from doing the HDR process entirely within Lightroom….
Why you would do this is less clear to me, because you would lose the flexibility to process it as a 32-bit image in Photoshop (DNG means it would be sent to Photoshop as 16 bit).
But for a long time I've done something similar with JPEGs from a point and shoot camera and from my iPad. Converting these files to DNG distinguishes the original photos from derivative JPEGs which I might have generated for email, web etc. So packaging these HDR-merged TIF files as DNGs would also mark them out as pseudo-originals, and would also permit Lightroom to update their embedded previews.
I'd like to continue this thread. Shall I email directly? Creating tiffs, leaves RAW in PV2012 DNG. The tiffs become derivatives. CS5 plays with the derivatives, but these were PV2012 creations – so the best there is currently!!The tonal range etc will not be lost – but the HDR tone mapping in LR4 when re-imported will now be on tiffs – not so good. CS6 has a use then. ugh. one off or monthly? ugh again.
Up to you, Chris, happy to say more or less anything here. Did you see this and the linked articles?
So are you asking whether to subscribe to Photoshop or upgrade? If you can upgrade, it looks like upgrading is cheaper than subscribing. First time purchasers would have a cashflow advantage from subscribing, but pay the same over the long run. On the other hand, stop paying the monthly fee and it's goodbye Photoshop.
This is one of only three reasons I still use PS. I'm on LR 4.1, but PS 5. If I do all my tonal, colour & crop corrections in LR, then send to CS5 I'm not loosing anything am I? I don't need the newer ACR tools as I have them already. Correct? I can't see anything in CS6 to make me want to buy it.
For this HDR, Edit > Merge to HDR in Photoshop would do the raw conversion in PS CS5 and ACR6, using PV2010. If you wanted to apply PV2012 adjustment to the component frames before merging, then you'd have to export them as TIF files, then launch Merge to HDR inside PS CS5. Hard to believe there's much difference with HDR though. With panorama stitching, I think there would be.


Eagle Creek Recovery is a full service, live-in facility. The idea is to detach the resident from the outside environment that supported the addictive behavior. Housing is shared rooms in a dormitory atmosphere.
As a live-in resident, all meals are furnished 3 times a day. Many of our residents arrive malnourished after living a live of addiction and sometimes giving up food for the addiction. Full quality meals are a part of our program.
As a group treatment facility, all participants are expected to attend classes, church services and community service events. Occasionally medical attention or personal appointments may be necessary. The budget of each participant includes the transportation both as a group and in some cases individually.
There are several classes dealing with life and moving back into society as a productive part of the world. Some of the classes are subscriptions based, others require study material and/or printed items. The provision of these materials are a part of the process.
In a few cases attendees arrive with literally the clothes on their back. At this time Eagle Creek does whatever is necessary to benefit those putting forth the effort to change their lives. Both funds and donations of items are used to provide the most basic of needs for those attending and lift their sense of self pride.
Eagle Creek operates with a minimal staff that is supported by the center itself. This is a budget issue obviously. Most of the management staff is funded through Shreveport Community Church and volunteers. Oversight staff and internal support are usually volunteers that have previously gone through the program, providing the best environment for those moving away from addictions.
We take the responsibility of managing your donations seriously. The location operates with minimal management salaries and staff to service the needs of our clients. We are also blessed with many community leaders that volunteer to assist from time to time. With a vigilant focus on assisting and providing for our those that go through the program, you are assured that your contribution are used as intended to assist the clients in living an addiction free life.
Quinton Light is a U.S. Army veteran where he served for seven years. He ended up spending time in prison but was divinely delivered from a 19-year drug addiction with no withdrawals. Since then, Quinton has been involved in prison ministry, Biblical counseling and drug counseling. He has been married to his amazing wife, Jan, for 11 years. Quinton was invited to join the staff of Eagle Creek Recovery Center in April of 2016. His years of personal experience with addiction and recovery are a tremendous asset to the Center. He went from selfish to selfless because of his encounter with the deliverer – Jesus!
A retired Chaplain, Lieutenant Colonel with 28 years of military service and a collective Pastoral service of 44 years. He is an Associate Pastor at Shreveport Community Church and serves as Marriage and Family Relationship Consultant. Reverend Ewing is a member of The Assemblies Of God fellowship of believers.
Susan has been involved with Eagle Creek Recovery Center in some capacity since its beginning. She began by working with the children of the support group members, then became an administrative assistant to the Founder, next she was moved to Office Manager (which includes processing payments, scholarships etc.), and she is currently Office Manager and Events Coordinator for Eagle Creek Recovery Center. She has also been on staff at Shreveport Community Church for over 30 years. Susan has been a part of many areas of ministry within Shreveport Community Church, some of which include Early Childhood Ministry Director, Director of the Children's cast for Songs of the Season – a large production that brings Christmas to our city, Winner's Circle Summer Camp – an outreach to the disadvantaged children of our city, and she has assisted with various events and outreaches. In her spare time Susan loves teaching elementary spirit groups at Evangel Christian Academy.
Your donations can change the life of a man that would have no way out of an addictive life.
At the banquet you will learn more about the history of Eagle Creek. You will be able to meet and see actual success stories of some who have attended and changed their life. Plus you will recieve a fabulous meal as you learn more about what it means to be a part of helping others grow. Your meal ticket contributes and your added donations all go to the support of Eagle Creek and what it does to change lives.
Your monetary donations go directly to the operation costs of the center. Upon arrival at the center, all residents are housed, fed, transported, taught in a comfortable housing facility. Eagle Creek Recovery Center faces all the usual operating expenses of a facility of this type including utilities, food, bedding, maintenance and transportation costs. The average expense of a single resident to go through the recovery course is in excess of $6,000.
Call us or go to the Golf Classic page to join the fun.
Got a vehicle that you would be willing to donate? One of the processes of leading men back into a productive life is to get them back into a active society. Clients take part in several public service activities during the week. Residents also attend an inspirational service every morning, on Tuesday night and on Sundays. Transport size vehicles are a necessity, but any vehicle that might be marketed for support funds would be equally of value to the center.


I must admit. It didn't go deep enough into how to get maximized effect from your articles.
When people write articles. They write about whatever the topic maybe. But some of the things, when writing the articles, content for your websites or whatever it may be.
Think about including what they call LSI Keywords into it.
LSI Keywords are essentially keywords related to the keyword that you search for on search engines such as Google. Basically, they are keywords that are semantically linked to your main keyword.
So, according to Google. Incorporating more LSI Keywords into your page/ articles will help you get ranked higher.
Why?? Because in a sense, they are all relevant to the main Keyword/phrase.
I'm going to use an example here.
I use a FREE tool called LSI Graph.
With LSI Graph, you can type in a term and get the relevant LSI Keywords/phrases that go with your main keyword.
SO, my main topic is SEO.
When I type in SEO, these are the results I got below.
As you can see, while writing about SEO, it's important to use these key LSI Keywords/Phrases into my articles.
Using these LSI Keywords will help you learn SEO and getting your website on search engines.
Here, you can optimize for free.
These are top website optimization techniques used every day by top SEO Consultants.
As you can clearly see. I used a handful of those LSI Keywords and can even incorporate those keywords/phrases into my main keyword tag.
So, when Google comes through. They see what the website is about and they get a full understanding of what the article is about and how to rank it due to relevancy.
SEO isn't hard to learn. Just as anything out there, it takes the time to learn SEO.
SEO is like a game of chess. Some chess matches take a very long time to play, complete with strategies on being your opponent, Google.
If you don't have time. Then perhaps, maybe hire a top SEO Consultant to help you get going.
Who knows, those are my thoughts for today.
LSI keywords is a must for any article or website.

ISAT PRESENTS
Why Study in Thailand
ISAT PRESENTS Education Systems Why Study in Thailand Frequently Asked Questions Rules & Regulations
The American Curriculum
In the United States each individual state is responsible for its own curriculum and educational process. This means that the curriculum offered will vary from one American overseas school to the next. The curriculum continually evolves and it is based on learning standards and benchmarks. International American schools generally have higher standards than the public system schools within the US and they have to be accredited by one of four national non-governmental agencies. To gain accreditation, the school's curriculum must be in line with the standards determined by the organisation (e.g. the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, WASC and New England Association of Schools and Colleges NEASC).
In Thailand, schooling for children under an American state curriculum may begin at the age of five or less in pre-schools or kindergartens. Learning at these ages is less academically based and is more intended to introduce children to a school's social environment, although all schools will offer some degree of alphabetic and numerical teaching. Elementary, Middle School and High School education covers children from the ages of 6 to 18 years old and most schools will require students take exit examinations in core subject areas to enable students to graduate with an American based high school diploma. Student may also take external exams, such as Advanced Placements (AP) which strengthen university applications. Depending upon the specific admissions requirements of each college or university, the majority of overseas students looking to be offered a placement at a US college must also complete the external SATs or other college entrance examinations to whatever level the university prescribes.
In line with schools within the United States, schools in Thailand offering an American based curriculum will balance academic life with a rich and diverse array of community activities including sport, the arts, scholastic based clubs and a number of tutoring and mentoring enterprises.
The British Curriculum
In Britain, education is currently compulsory for all children between the ages of 5 and 16 with clear provision made for students aged 3-5 and 16-18. Children are placed in year groups based on their age on 31 August. Progress between Year Groups is usually automatic, although students may be out of their age group for exceptional reasons. Year Groups are clustered into Key Stages and a defined curriculum is produced for each Key Stage. Throughout each Key Stage there are clear assessments and examinations to monitor and track each child's academic progress.
Students study the International version of the General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) over the two years of Key Stage 4, from the age of 14. Most students study a compulsory core of English, Mathematics and Science plus a number of optional subjects. The norm is for students to take 8 or 9 IGCSE courses. The IGCSE examinations are a formal assessment of a child's ability in each of the subjects they have studied. These are the final years of their compulsory high school education. The route however for students wishing to go to university is to continue into Key Stage 5, also known as Sixth Form, to follow two-year Advanced Level courses. GCSE and IGCSE are internationally recognised academic standards and used, alongside Advanced Levels, as part of the academic selection process for entry into the top universities around the World.
The table below outlines the way in which the school and the curriculum are divided.

The International Baccalaureate (IB) Curriculum
Each year, the IB is taught in over 3,500 schools in over 140 countries with over one million children. Parents who choose the IB curriculum for their children can be assured that all schools offering any of the 3 IB programmes (Primary Years, Middle Years or Diploma) must be authorized to do so directly from the IB organisation. As the curriculum is devised by educators rather than governments, it can also be said to be a truly international education and free from political and economic influences. Quality is assured by the IB, as IB schools will undergo an evaluation for each of the IB programmes every 5 years.
Parents choose to send their children to IB curriculum schools for a wide number of reasons including the relevance of the programmes to all students regardless of home country or mother tongue. The IB is widely regarded as having a holistic approach and globally aware characteristics. The programmes emphasize not only learning knowledge, but also challenge students to develop skills and positive attitudes, and to take responsible action. IB teachers are all trained by the IB, providing a consistent, high-quality education in all IB schools. All of which in turn make it the curriculum of choice for many international families.
The 3 IB programmes cover learning for students aged 3 - 18 years old and each programme can be studied individually or as a continuum. A school that offers at least one of the 3 programmes is called an IB World School. A school may offer one, two or all three of the IB programmes.
Learning in the Primary and Middle Years Programmes focuses on the development of the whole child as an inquirer, both in the classroom and in the world outside. Students learn higher level questioning skills, and the learning is driven by their natural curiosity. The programmes provide frameworks that encourage students to embrace and understand the connections between traditional subjects and the real world, and become critical and reflective thinkers. The IB Diploma Programme is for students aged 16-18 years old. It is an academically challenging and balanced programme, with final examinations as well as assessments, that prepares students for success both at university and in life beyond. The IB Diploma is respected by universities around the world for its depth and breadth of learning, the consistency of the value of the grades, and for the additional elements of Creativity, Action & Service and Theory of Knowledge, all of which make IB applicants stand out positively during the university admissions process.
Other National Curriculums (Australian, Canadian, French, German, Japanese, Indian, Singaporean etc.)
In addition to British, American and IB schools, Bangkok also boasts a number of other national curriculum schools. These schools offer education following their home country's curriculum and usually teach in their home country's language. These schools are especially suited to families whose overseas stay is relatively short, or whose children plan to attend university in their home country. Frequently these schools are subsidised by the home country government. The advantage of attending a national curriculum school in Thailand is that students can follow the education they are used to while still gaining experience of living overseas, and they will be able to return to their home country with minimum disruption.

without my help? Yes, indeed they are. It is my belief that everyone has the ability to connect and communicate with The Divine but just because an individual has the ability does not mean that they use the ability. When someone sits across the table from me and asks me to read for them, they decided not to utilize their ability and access mine instead. Why do people do this? Well, the reasons are as numerous as the individuals: sometimes they may feel that their connection to Divine Source is weak, sometimes they may feel that their connection is clouded and sometimes the individual doesn't believe that they possess the ability. Regardless of the reason – at that point in time they sought out my guidance. Should there be no expectation of an equal exchange between the two of us?
I know there are those who believe that any ability born of spirituality should be free. They believe that if it originates from The Divine Source – it shouldn't cost anyone anything and while I can understand their point of view – I don't resonate with it when it comes to readings. I believe that because I (or any other Reader) am providing a service for my clients then they will compensate me for the time that I spend with them. I do not charge a price for my ability. Consider for a moment, the days when there was no concept of currency in the form of cash/money and the people bartered for what they required. I'm sure we can all recall the village mid-wife, cunning woman or medicine woman. These women would make "house calls" when their services were needed. She would go to a dwelling and deliver a baby, treat a wound or cure an illness and in return the family would give her a meal, a loaf of bread, a blanket, or some wool. She was compensated for the service she provided and no one debated n whether it should be done without an equal exchange. True, at that time in our history it wasn't cash but in 2013 people don't trade like they used to. They pay with currency. Now, this is not to say that if I were offered a service or item I'd turn it down, on the contrary – I would welcome it however I am required to pay my rent with money.
My husband recently sent me an email from work, which included some information he found on a site about Qi-gong, a Chinese meditative practice. On this site there was information addressing this exact topic of paying for healing or spiritual teachings. The idea expressed on this site was that healing or spiritual services are priceless. You cannot put a set price on either. They could cost millions or next to nothing. The decision of price is between the one giving and the one receiving. Both parities have the privilege to accept or reject it. I tend to agree with this point of view.
I have also come to the understanding that there is more than money that I gain from reading for others. I find meaning in the work I do. I find meaning in the connections I make with my clients. This service I provide isn't a technique that I was taught or skill that I learned. It is a relationship that I nurtured. It is a relationship between God Herself and me. My service recognizes that I work with other human beings. These people aren't just clients or customers or even "problems". Each of the people I interact with is a sacred being. He or she is connected to Divine Source just as much as I am and when I read for them I am also reading for myself. I receive meaning in my work through this service and it means more to me than a profit ever could.
My opinion is that it's subjective and should be left to the individual providing the service without judgment from anyone. I know other people see it differently. We're carving out our own path, guided by our own guidance so who other than yourself has the answer? It's got to be a personal choice. We're getting better at allowing others to take their own path without judgment, I *think* ...little by little I see big changes. Everyone's doing what they think is best and likes to feel understood, but it can be hard to be understanding when others don't agree lol! You could always hand them one of Byron Katie's "Judge Your Neighbor" worksheets - kidding!!! Whatever we decide, we can learn to be confident enough in our decision that the opinion of others has no depreciating effect. It may even add to our growth and excitement!
Both choices to charge and not to charge are totally valid & equally upright. I sometimes wonder what's at the root of this idea that all spiritual work must be done freely. What is at the root? This is a talent/craft/art worthy of gifting or commissioning at the artist's discretion, just as it is with any gift we spend time pursuing from carpentry to tarot : ) Each uses a physical manifestation or 'tool' of an inward inspiration.
These abilities are something we all possess in varying degrees. Anyone may spend time developing and honing the skill, but most do not for one reason or another. That's what makes a good community - everyone doing their part whether spiritual or otherwise. We can make use of each others talents and function as a unit more effectively if we follow our own excitement and see each gift as a worthy trade. A body needs many parts, including the spiritual, each with their own skills & needs. A grand give & take.
If we're requested to give our time and skills (whether labeled 'spiritual' or otherwise) to another, there is no more ill gotten gain in requesting compensation than a painter receiving commission for her time, skill and resulting art.

BEER DISTRIBUTOR SUES MASS. OVER RECORD FINE
by corps | Mar 14, 2016 | News
And you thought the fines issued by the Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission was tough! According to the Boston Globe, the Massachusetts Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission assessed a $2.6 MILLION fine last week against Craft Brewers Guild for paying kickbacks to retailers for shelf placement of its products. This practice of course is prohibited within the alcoholic beverage industry, but is common within the retail industry. The TABC may have to consider expanding its investigations to this issue when wine can be sold in grocery stores beginning July 1, 2016….If you find yourself having been issued a fine by the TABC, contact ELKS LAW for assistance. www.ElksLaw.com

By Dan Adams
Craft Brewers Guild, the Everett beer distributor that illegally paid Boston bars to stock its products, has sued Massachusetts regulators, questioning the process that resulted in the company paying a record $2.6 million fine last week.
The beer distributor filed suit in Suffolk Superior Court Thursday to get the findings of the state Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission overturned or reconsidered, or its penalty reduced. The ABCC found Craft Brewers Guild spent around "$120,000 to pay kickbacks," in some cases through shell companies, to a dozen Boston-area bars "in a pervasive illegal enterprise."
In February, the ABCC gave the company the option of shutting down for 90 days or paying a fine. An ABCC spokesman Friday said Craft Brewers Guild has paid the $2.6 million.
The lawsuit alleges a state attorney failed to pass along key documents to the three ABCC commissioners who decided the case. Craft Brewers Guild also said the ABCC erred in calculating the fine.
Craft Brewers Guild also argued that competing wholesalers engaged "in the exact same conduct" yet were not similarly charged. The ABCC recently said it is investigating other allegations of so-called pay-to-play practices. Craft Brewers Guild also asserted that changes to the state's alcohol laws made years ago by courts and the Legislature had rendered the ban on pay-to-play invalid.
State authorities said a distributor violated a rule against inducements for retailers to stock its products over those of competitors.
"Craft [Brewers Guild] challenges the ABCC decision as unsupported by evidence and asserts certain portions of the state liquor law are invalid," the company said in a statement. "Further, the lawsuit challenges the size and scope of the penalty as unreasonable and unwarranted."
An ABCC spokesman declined to comment, saying the commission had not yet seen the lawsuit.
Craft Brewers Guild has said it does not dispute the ABCC allegations, and acknowledged as much in its lawsuit.
"Through the investigatory process, the [ABCC] identified certain trade practices as problematic," the suit said. "Craft immediately ceased all such practices."
Craft Brewers Guild is owned by the Sheehan Family Cos., which is based in Massachusetts and operates 19 beer distributors in 13 states. The Globe reported last week that another Sheehan subsidiary had plied retailers in New York with gifts such as TVs and draft systems.
Paying for product placement is common in retail, but the practice was banned in the alcohol industry by most states decades ago, to keep large national brands from dominating local markets.
Critics have long complained the practice is rampant in the US beer industry but seldom punished. The ABCC's harsh penalty for Craft Brewers Guild is its first-ever enforcement of the pay-to-play ban, and officials said it was intended to send a message to the industry.
