DECCMA Bangladesh provides contributions to the design of a new adaptation project funded by GEF and UNDP
10th July 2018 9th July 2018 katharinevincent
by Saiful Alam
DECCMA Bangladesh team members were invited to participate in a consultation to formulate a project addressing climate change risks in selected Agro-Ecological Zones (AEZs) in Bangladesh. The project is likely to be funded to the tune of $8 million by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and will benefit five pilot areas in Bangladesh: Chittagong, Chittagong Hill Tracts, dryland, floodplain and haor (wetland ecosystem).
The stakeholder consultation was organized by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) on 5 July 2018 at Pan Pacific Sonargoan Hotel, Dhaka. Dr. S. M. Munjurul Hannan Khan, Additional Secretary, MoEFCC presided over the consultation meeting. Mr Abdullah Al Mohsin Chowdhury, Secretary-in Charge, MoEFCC and Dr. Sultan Ahmed, Director-General, Department of Environment (DoE) contributed as Chief Guest and moderator respectively.
DECCMA, Bangladesh members Dr. Md. Munsur Rahman, Dr. Mohammed Abed Hossain and Saiful Alam attended the meeting, and provided comments on the approach and methods proposed. They also shared feedback on possible adaptation measures, informed by DECCMA's adaptation research in the Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna delta.
Summing up the findings from the consultation, Mr Abdullah Al Mohsin Chowdhury, Secretary-in Charge, MoEFCC, proposed taking into account DECCMA's adaptation inventories so as to not unnecessarily re-invent the wheel. Dr. Sultan Ahmed, DG, DoE, further suggested referring to DECCMA's findings on hotspots of climate change risk in Bangladesh.
DECCMA Bangladesh PI leads seminar on how sediment load affects the nature of the Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna delta
16th April 2018 8th April 2018 katharinevincent
by Institute of Water and Flood Management
DECCMA PI Professor Munsur Rahman led a seminar on 'Recent sediment flux and its implications for river and delta management in the Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna system' on 3rd April at the Institute of Water and Flood Management (IWFM) at the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology.
Sediment flux is the mechanism that creates the nature of a delta, and thus is essential for river and delta management. The physical sustainability of the river and delta environment is very sensitive to the volume of water and sediment that arrives from rivers upstream. In most of the planning documents in Bangladesh, the total sediment flux is assumed to be a constant value of around 1 billion tones per year. Recent models shows that, under climate change, there is likely to be an increase in sediment flux. However, this contradicts historical time series data, that shows a decreasing trend of sedimentation.

Studies on the total sediment load in the Ganges and the Brahmaputra show that the quantity transferred along the bed of the river is decreasing more rapidly than the sediment that is suspended within the water. A reduction in sediment within the system reduces the scope for offsetting future sea level rise, and thus has implications for subsidence and loss of land.
Recognising the importance of sediment quantity and flows in thus essential to manage the delta. The seminar concluded by emphasising the need for discussion and negotiation on sediment flux and water sharing to reduce the effect of dams upstream within Bangladesh and neighbouring countries. Along with the faculty members of IWFM guests from relevant organisations were also present, including Bangladesh Water Development Board, the Directorate of Bangladesh Haor and Wetland Division, Local Government Engineering Department, Centre for Environmental and Geographic Information Systems and the Bangladesh Export Processing Zones Authority.
DECCMA and HI-AWARE jointly convene stakeholder workshop with WARPO to disseminate Bangladesh research findings
9th April 2018 3rd April 2018 katharinevincent
A joint stakeholder workshop was arranged by DECCMA and HI-AWARE to present Bangladesh research findings. The meeting took place at the Water Resources Planning Organisation (WARPO) in Dhaka on 17th January 2018. Attendees included the Ministry of Water Resources, Ministry of Forest and the Environment, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Planning, Housing Authority, Local Government Division, and UNDP.
DECCMA Bangladesh Principal Investigator, Professor Munsur Rahman, and Co-Principal Investigator, Professor Mashfiqus Salehin, made a joint keynote presentation on 'Adaptation and Migration in GBM Delta, Bangladesh'. HI-AWARE Bangladesh Principal Investigator, Md. Abu Syed, made a keynote presentation on 'Climate resilience and adaptation in Teesta sub-Basin of Brahmaputra Basin'.
Stakeholders provided inputs to highlight their particular areas of interest in DECCMA findings. Among the key themes were an understanding of the reasons for migration, quantifying negative and positive impacts, and projections for the future-to add to those already outlined in the Delta Plan 2100. There was also interest in modelling the impact of climate change on the economy, as is being undertaken within DECCMA, led by the Bc3 Basque Centre for Climate Change, and supporting the use of models at local (upazila) level.
"Life is cruel here" Stories from forced migrants in Chittagong, Bangladesh
5th January 2018 katharinevincent
"Life is cruel here" Stories from forced migrants in Chittagong, Bangladesh, has now been published. The story is based on experiences of migrants told to the DECCMA Bangladesh research team as they were undertaking surveys of migrants in receiving areas.

Prizegiving for the enumerators of Bangladesh's 1500 household survey
18th December 2017 13th December 2017 katharinevincent
Certificates were awarded to 18 young researchers who acted as enumerators in DECCMA's survey of migration and adaptation in 1500 households in Dhaka and Chittagong – two of the most influential cities in Bangladesh and the destination of many migrants.
The certificate award ceremony took place at the end of October at the Institute for Water and Flood Management at the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology. It coincided with a Bangladesh Country Team meeting, that brought together more than 80 researchers from the various partner organisations, including RMMRU, BIDS, TARA, CEGIS and SANEM.
Certificates were awarded at the Bangladesh Country Team meeting
There were different categories of prize. One was for best supervisor of the DECCMA receiving area survey, two were available for best enumerators (one each for Dhaka and Chittagong) and two for the best photography. Mr Md. Masum Ebne Haque and Muhammad Sehab Uddin got the prize for their valuable photos. Mr Md. Ataur Rahman and Ms Nahida Akter was selected as the best enumerators and Mr Robi Ray was selected for the best field supervisor. Congratulations to all!
DECCMA team discusses the forthcoming Bangladesh Delta Plan with the country's Planning Commission
20th November 2017 10th November 2017 katharinevincent
The Bangladesh Delta Plan 2100 (BDP) takes an adaptive management approach and the strategy is based on eight hotspots in the country, one of which is covered within the DECCMA study area. In a meeting with Professor Shamsul Alam, Member Secretary of the Global Economic Department in the Planning commission, the DECCMA Bangladesh team highlighted how project findings can inform the plan.
DECCMA Bangladesh PI Professor Munsur Rahman presents Professor Shamsul of the Planning Commission with the latest project publications
DECCMA's research is helping to build deeper understanding of the cross sectoral adaptation that will be required in future. Dr Michele Leone, who oversees DECCMA for the International Development Research Centre, outlined the inventory of adaptations and findings of autonomous adaptations in the household survey would inform the implementation the Bangladesh Delta Plan.
DECCMA Bangladesh Deputy PI, Dr Mashfiqus Salehin, added that the focus of DECCMA on migration has created significant insights who migrates, where, and with what consequences, and that the findings will be integrated into a model that will project changes in the delta in the context of climate change.
Referring to the linkages between adaptation and economic growth, Professor Alam said that the Bangladesh Delta Plan makes significant progress compared to earlier water sector plans, by forging linkages between adaptation and economic development and growth in the country. Professor Alam reiterated that for improved adaptation we need improved knowledge through multi-disciplinary research and innovations, and welcomed a Ganges Brahmaputra Meghna Delta Brief from the team, which summarises research findings to date.
Bringing together research to inform disaster risk reduction in Bangladesh

by Saiful Alam, DECCMA Bangladesh RiU focal point, BUET
Ensuring university research feeds into policy and practice is key to reducing disaster risk reduction. DECCMA is building evidence on how climate change is affecting deltas, how people are adapting to these changes, and the role of migration.
In Bangladesh the Institute for Water and Flood Management (IWFM) at the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology is participating in a platform to bring together research and knowledge generated by universities to strengthen capacity for improved water management and disaster risk reduction. This sits under the project "Research on Disaster Prevention / Mitigation measures against Flood and Storm Surges in Bangladesh" (SATREPS).
As part of its efforts to disseminate research findings, IWFM organized a University Networking workshop in August 2017 to present five training modules developed under the SATREPS project with the aim of building capacity at the field level. The five modules discussed topics relating to flood management and disaster risk reduction:
Evolution of flood management policy and planning
Evaluating resilience against flood disaster
Learning from experience of NGOs in disaster management
Review of measures for river flood management in Bangladesh
Flash flood risk management using information and communication technologies in Bangladesh
The workshop was attended by researchers from 19 universities in Bangladesh and further afield. DECCMA Bangladesh PI, Prof. Munsur Rahman, outlined findings from DECCMA. He also called for joint action-oriented research with emphasis on governance to reduce disaster risk among vulnerable delta populations.
Following from this successful workshop, another will be planned to further disseminate DECCMA research findings on vulnerability hotspots and adaptation. This will likely take place at Potuakahi University of Science and Technology, and further details will be available on the DECCMA website when a date has been finalised.
Migration and adaptation: a case study from the Khulna-Jessore region
10th October 2017 3rd October 2017 Carolin Bothe-Tews
by Nazia Bushra, Research Assistant, Refugee and Migratory Movement Research Unit (RMMRU)
Khulna stands on the banks of the Rupsha and the Bhairab rivers, located in southwest Bangladesh, and it is the geographical mid-point between the ports of Jessore and Mongla. It is also the second largest seaport of the country.
In the coming years, the Khulna-Jessore regions are going to become increasingly vulnerable to the effects of climate change. Khulna is already prone to salinity intrusion and cyclones. Less fresh water now flows in the adjacent rivers and saltwater intrudes here from the Bay of Bengal. Also, the local shrimp aquaculture is affected by viruses and other harmful factors related to high salinity and the increase in water temperature.
In the case of Jessore, the increased salinity, floods, and storms are all major drivers of human migration from this locale. In order to obtain accurate data on the magnitude of migration and adaptation status of these two regions, we conducted a household survey of the 8 mouzas of these two cities. During the household listing survey, we found that people are suffering here from livelihood crises and related economic challenges. A large portion of household members that we interviewed were educated, which might explain their tendency to migrate to other regions and abroad. However, some of them are adapting to the present situation by adopting new technologies. They cultivate saline-resistant rice varieties (e.g. IRRI-11, 23, 54) and vegetables (e.g. water-melon, pumpkin etc.) but most cultivation takes place only during the rainy season; in dry season they usually buy vegetables and crops from neighbouring areas.
In Khulna, some of the most challenging environmental situations are found in Amurkata and Paikgachha. The communication system, mobile networks and food accessibility are all hampered by logistical issues. Environmental problems such as salinity of drinking water, low diversity of crop varieties, waterlogging, and cyclone-induced tidal surges are pervasive in this area. Local NGO's such as ASA, BRAC, JJS, NOBOJUG etc. are trying to provide fresh water to these areas and the government is also constructing some cyclone shelters. Because of the prevalence of cyclones, most of the houses are made up of mud and conventional golpata, and electricity is relatively scarce among these types of dwellings.
In Jessore, Bahadurpur village has two areas named Mathpara and Hotatpara which received many migrants from neighbouring areas during times of flood and other natural disasters. These displaced persons are economically vulnerable as they try to adapt to life here. They face unemployment, job insecurity and the lack of other basic facilities, such as a scarcity of clean water. The unhygienic sanitation conditions, combined with the other difficulties, have led to a high incidence of diseases.
The challenges of living with climate change in Noakhali and Laxmipur Districts
26th September 2017 26th September 2017 Carolin Bothe-Tews
by Aysha Akter Akhi
It is a nice opportunity to work with RMMRU on the DECCMA project. For the purpose of completing this work, I got a chance to visit the Noakhali-Laxmipur region of Bangladesh. This visit enabled me to talk with the people of this remote area. I visited 7 Mouzas in Noakhali and Laxmipur district. The people of these areas are mostly affected by the consequences of climate change. Cyclone, flood, river erosion, scarcity of rain, heavy rainfalls are frequent in these areas. Among 7 Mouzas, I found that the Char Elahi Mouza of Companigonj of Noakhali district is the most vulnerable.
I went to Char Lengta of Char Elahi which is very close to the Meghna River. People who live on the bank of the river are at serious risk. Because of environmental factors like river erosion, many people have lost their houses, lands, and other belongings. They live in bamboo or tin-metaljhupri houses.
Economic difficulties mean that attaining regular meals is difficult for many people here. Some have responded to these difficulties by becoming migrants. Many are living in the homes of friends and family places, while some have taken shelter in Mosques and Primary Schools. The usual occupations for many of these people are fishing and cultivation, but at present they have no land to cultivate and there has been a drastic reduction in fish populations in the river. Many are not provided with basic human rights, like food and shelter.
For these reasons, people in Char Elahi have a lot of complains against their local representative. They claim that not a single person is ready to hear them or even to talk with them, and that help is far away. When I went to talk with those people, they thought that perhaps I would do some help or provide financial aid to them. Alas! there was nothing I could to for them except listen to their sorrows and sufferings. I observed their lives and their needs very closely. They fight with nature early and late with great courage.
The lives of littoral people in Rehania
by Tamanna Nazneen
Rehania is a coastal village in Bangladesh on Hatiya Island, Noakhali. Cyclone, coastal flood and water salinity are some of the common natural hazards in Rehania. Recently, a research survey led by DECCMA (Deltas, Vulnerability and Climate Change: Migration and Adaptation), under RMMRU (Refugee and Migratory Movements Research Unit), has been held in this area. For this reason, I had the great opportunity of going to Hatiya and observing the lifestyle of the people in the Rehania village.
Most of the people of Rehania are the victim of natural hazards like floods, river erosion and cyclones. They migrated here from other coastal areas of Noakhali, Lakshmipur, Bhola and Sandhwip (Chittagong). They lost everything from river erosion and cyclones. The Government re-housed them on the two sides of river dam and gave them a small amount of land per family but it was inadequate.
There is a lack of effective livelihoods. At first, people earned their livelihood by farming and fishing but the farming lands in the surrounding areas are also affected by flooding, more than three times per year. Flood water is very saline here and as a result the farming land has become saline. During the dry season, a white layer of salt is visible on the land so farming becomes difficult. Farmers grow Aaush paddy (a variation of paddy which grows in the summer and is harvested during the monsoon), chilli and ground nut but in most cases crops are destroyed because of flood and water salinity.
Due to global warming, sea levels are rising and salinity of the sea is entering up stream through rivers and feeder canals resulting in most of the farmers changing their livelihood. In recent years, they earn their livelihood by fishing and doing other jobs through migration. Seasonal migration is an important livelihood strategy to these families. More than 70% of their incomes are derived from outside the village. Most of the seasonal migrants work in brickfields in Chittagong under a contract and after a working season return home with their wages, of which a significant amount is spent buying fishing nets and boats (in share). They also send some remittances for their family. Fishing is their monsoon season job and during dry season they always migrate for other work (in brickfields).
In Rehania, many women are self-employed doing animal husbandry. They lease cattle and tend. In exchange, they get some money and can sell milk after giving a specific portion to the cattle owner. When we went to Rehania village for the survey and wanted to interview them, at first, they thought we were government workers who had come to them for reporting about their life conditions, so that they could get their desired governmental help for materials for building more sustainable houses and a sanitary latrine. They were eager to take effective training about cultivation methods of flood prone areas and also wanted a subsidy for agriculture, saline water tolerant crop seeds and fishing materials.
When they came to know about our research and its aim, they became tamed, but most of them spread their helping hand and cordially responded to our questionnaire. Though their life is afflicted with lots of pain, they never give up their smiles and hospitality. Whenever we went to any respondent's house, they treated us with green coconuts, ground nuts, mangoes and whatever they had. We were amazed with their cordial behaviour and realised again the hospitable nature of the Bangladeshi people.
We were also amazed with the children of Rehania. They were very interesting and curiously stared at us with our tablets and questionnaire papers. They wanted to follow us around but we insisted that they did not and instead go to their school. Whenever it was possible we offered them chocolates, biscuits and juice to have with us. They also gave us red hibiscus flowers. This flower is available in every house and roadside.
Natural disasters are a part of their life. They always have to face it and struggle against it just like other littoral people. Naturally, they are brave and have adaptational capacities in such a hostile environment. They know how to keep their house safe from cyclones by planting banana and coconut trees around their houses. For a better livelihood they migrate to other places and try to send remittances. They are optimistic about their life. They just want some help from the government to make their livelihood more sustainable. The days may be hard, but their hopes and aspirations are never tamed. The always-smiling face is the symbol of their life spirit.

University of Colorado receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. announced Tuesday that he will forego his final season of college football to enter the NFL Draft.
Shenault made the announcement on Twitter and was scheduled to appear at a news conference in Boulder later in the day with athletic director Rick George. First-year Colorado coach Mel Tucker is on the road recruiting and was not available, a school spokesman said in a news release.
"First and foremost, I want to thank all of my friends, family and all those who helped me get where I am today," Shenault said in the news release. "I took in a lot of wisdom and knowledge from all of you and used it to make me a better man on and off the field.
"I'm blessed to be in the position I am today and I know my dad would be proud of the foundation I left as I pursue my dream of playing at the next level and declaring for the 2020 NFL Draft."
Shenault's father died in a vehicle-pedestrian collision in 2009.
Shenault, 6-foot-2 and 220 pounds, had 56 catches for 764 yards and four touchdowns and ran for 161 yards and two TDs this past season. Of his receiving yards, 460 came after the catch and 232 after initial contact by a defender. Of his rushing yards, 128 came after contact.

— H U N C H O🤷🏾♂ (@Viska2live) December 3, 2019
Shenault led the nation in receptions per game in 2018 with 9.6. He caught 86 passes for 1,011 yards and six touchdowns in nine games. He also ran for 118 yards and five touchdowns on 17 carries. He missed three games with an injury.
Shenault finishes his CU career eighth on the school's all-time list in receptions (149), 11th in receiving yards (1,943), 25th in yards from scrimmage (2,223) and 35th in all-purpose yards (2,332).
"Laviska Shenault represented our relentless culture and was one of the most dynamic, dominant and versatile players that I have ever coached," Tucker said. "He embodies the true 'show me, don't tell me' competitive spirit. I look forward to watching him develop and compete at the elite level and thank him for his contributions on and off the field."
Shenault is the 10th CU player to declare early for the NFL Draft. The previous nine were all selected, with four going in the first two rounds.
The 2020 NFL Draft is April 23-25 in Las Vegas.

The selectors have faced some criticism over his exclusion from the squad despite him piling runs throughout the year.
Sarfaraz Khan's father, Naushad Khan, while speaking to Indian Express, recalled a heartfelt discussion as Sarfaraz had momentarily compared himself to that of Arjun Tendulkar. The young batter believed Arjun Tendulkar had all sorts of resources.
"Abbu, Arjun kitna naseebwala hai na? (Arjun is so lucky). He is Sachin sir's son and has cars, iPads, everything," Sarfaraz had remarked as he compared himself with Arjun. Naushad Khan was clearly short of words as he didn't reply to his child's innocent remark.
However, just moments after drawing the comparison, Sarfaraz hugged his father and said, "I'm more fortunate than him. You can devote the entire day to me. His father is not able to give him any time."
Sarfaraz was clearly not as blessed as Arjun as he had to struggle a lot to reach the position where he is today. His father, Naushad Khan, would do odd jobs to make ends meet and support his son in his cricket journey.
Sarfaraz Khan is termed a superstar of the Indian domestic circuit and has three consecutive blockbuster domestic seasons with the bat. He has scored 12 tons including one triple and two double-hundreds but all in vain as he's still waiting for his debut India call.

Just after getting ignored for the 17-member squad for the first two Tests against Australia, Sarfaraz smashed one more hundred in the Ranji Trophy game against Delhi putting even more pressure on the national selectors to include him in India's test squad.

Soapbox on a bad night in Blackburn: Rovers reap rewards
March 21, 2012 March 21, 2012 by Colin Randall
Sixer by Jake
How we wanted to rub the nose of Tim Farron, president of the Lib Dems, a possible party leader of the future and a passionate supporter of Blackburn Rovers, into something messy*. Pete Sixsmith explains why we couldn't …
Many Sunderland fans are anxiously looking at the bottom of the Premier League table, not because our club is anywhere near it but because there is the worrying possibility that three Lancashire clubs could go down. To make it worse, they could well be replaced by teams from those footballing hotbeds of Hampshire and Berkshire plus the possibility of the Pie and Mash boys regaining their Premier League place.
So we can look upon last night as the players' gift to the fans. They know that we like a day out at Blackburn. We get plenty of tickets, it's not far to go and, for the Durham Branch at least, there is an opportunity to sample the waters in that finest of English towns, Skipton.
Three pints of splendid ales in the Narrow Boat preceded this disappointing game at Ewood Park. Had I dashed through from work in the car and grabbed a pie in the ground, I may not have been as tolerant of this disjointed and jaded display.
Saturday was another high energy game, a real tussle between two evenly matched sides. The mental strength and awareness of professional footballers has to be intense and with our players, even more so. We play a tight game which relies on us seizing the game from the outset and putting our opponents on the back foot.
That is what we did at Everton, at home to Liverpool, at the Sports Direct Arena and against Arsenal in the cup; when we are unable to do that, as at West Brom and at home to Middlesbrough, we can struggle. Add Blackburn (a) to that list.

Quite simply, we never got going. Blackburn had done their homework on us and seized control of the midfield from the start. Hoilet created a chance from nothing in the first two minutes and we struggled to get into the game. Kyrgiakos settled in well with Turner and although we were not in any real trouble after the initial Rovers flurry, we were never able to control the vital midfield areas.
The fact that their assistant manager is Eric Black might have helped them. He would know these players, their strengths and weaknesses, and he used his knowledge well. Their central midfield never allowed Vaughan and Gardner to run the game and both were disappointing, making a number of wayward passes and being caught in possession far too easily by a Blackburn side that have clearly bought in to Steve Kean's philosophy, if not that of the Indian chicken men.
They had two and sometimes three men on McClean and it wasn't until the second half that he began to influence the game. Bendtner played deep (and did very well – although I am sure that there are many who will disagree with me) and tried to spread the ball and bring in his strike partner. Alas, Fraizer Campbell looked like a forward running on empty now the euphoria of his return has worn off.
Rovers knew that this was a game that they had to win and that it was winnable. They worked very hard, making full use of their strengths. In Hoilet, they have a good payer, but for me, the Frenchman Sreven N'Zonzi was their man of the match. He is tall, strong and reads the game well. He may be one to look at for next season.
Both goals were avoidable. Mignolet showed that he is human, when he came for Pedersen's long throw and missed it, allowing Hoilet to turn the ball in, while Yakubu was left unmarked when he headed in the clincher. These two will play a major part in keeping Rovers up. Yakubu looks a tad overweight, but he is a predator of the kind that we do not have. I don't imagine that he would have missed the relatively easy chance that Ji scorned with the score at 1-0.
Not a great performance and one or two players must be worried for their places as Sessegnon and Cattermole prepare to return to the fray. I am sure the manager will have learnt a lot about some of them and will already be drawing up his plans for Everton and for next season.
Hopefully, that will include another visit to Blackburn via Skipton. I think that they will drag themselves clear, particularly if we beat QPR and they can take something from Bolton on Saturday.
Tony Benn would have shown more respect; ask Jake
* Our Tim – or maybe it's his researcher – is not blessed with the most highly developed sense of courtesy. The Lib Dems' press office promptly passed our request for a "Who are You?" interview, plus the questions, to the researcher together with one simple request: an early response even if the answer was No, so time would be left to find a substitute (I anticipated the rebuff and did so anyway: thanks Mike Delap from the Wild Blackburn Rover site). Result? Silence. I called this "staggering discourtesy" in an e-mail absolving the press officer, who tried his best to help even after starting a holiday. If only Sunderland had produced a performance enabling us to gloat in the general direction of the Farron office. No one is under any obligation to accept an invitation to be interviewed by Salut! Sunderland. But contrast what I have just described with the exchange I had yesterday with a Man City supporter; it took him no more than four hours to reply that he was too busy but hoped to be able to help out next season. The Hon Member of Parliament for Westmorland and Lonsdale has a lesson to learn.

Martin's Musings from Blackburn: from high intensity to weary underachievement
The Sunderland v QPR 'Who are You?': still bowled over by Stan
12 thoughts on "Soapbox on a bad night in Blackburn: Rovers reap rewards"
I seem to keep making the same point about Bendtner. The manager has to work with the players at his disposal until the end of the season. Bendtner is not ideal. He is not an out and out goalscorer but he is doing a job for the side. Wickham and Ji don't seem quite ready yet and I wonder if Ji ever will. He seem to struggle when he comes on and apart from the goal on New Year's Day has contributed little. Sess has been a miss but hopefully will be back rested and eager tomorrow.
Bendtner won't be with us after the ManUre game but until then he is one of ours. I can't agree that he is lazy – he looks languid but he creates spaces for others and holds the ball well.
Jeremy dismisses Kyriagos but he was signed on loan as cover and that is what he has provided. His option of "playing the Frenchman" if we have another defensive crisis isn't an option is it? The Greek is and unlike Alan Stubbs when he wore the red and white, I'm sure he'll give his all. We should be behind the team with a top half finish and an F.A. Cup semi within reach – not slagging them off.
Bendtner just isn't any use to us at all. He is so slow it's untrue, not to mention lazy.
I'll be pleased to see him gone at the end of the season. I'm sure he'll enjoy seeing Arsene again as well.
Oh the conundrum that is Bendtner. He should change his name to Marmite – you either love him or hate him. For me, any player that scores against the Mags goes straight on to the "love" list. However, I concede both your points Beth, he's slow and his playing style makes him look disinterested. The majority of fans will probably be glad to see the back of him but if he were to score winning goals in 3 more FA Cup ties how would we feel then?
"Jeremy could watch a Kyriagos blinder and still say he was a plonker."
Well firstly M. Salut I really doubt whether SK has "a blinder" in him. Certainly I've never seen him be anything above moderate, ever. It puzzled me as to how he ended up at Liverpool and then continued to get a regular game, as he is so incredibly poor, and consistently so. My heart sank when he arrived on loan and my fears were only tempered by the knowledge that Turner, Bramble, Brown, O'Shea and Kilgallon were all ahead of him in the pecking order. He did look "ill at ease" when the ball was anywhere near him. His nervousnous was surpassed by mine as an onlooker.
Pete is playing the kindly judge to Jeremy's Judge Jeffreys. I thought Kyriagos was ill at ease. For me, Turner shines for us at this level only when someone stronger – Brown or O'Shea – is alongside him. But it is just possible, if mischievous, to speculate that having been totally against signing him in the first place, Jeremy could watch a Kyriagos blinder and still say he was a plonker.
I have seen better centre halves than Kyrgiakos on display in fixtures between Melton Mowbray Building Society and HMP Ashwell 2nds.
He is a truly awful footballer, cast from similar material to the likes of Whitley and Hall. I suspect that he only makes a living from sport due to his resemblance to Sebastien Chabal. If we suffer a further central defensive crisis before the end of the season I would prefer the Frenchman to this particular Greek tragedy.
Pete Sixsmith
Both did well enough. Bridge looks a calm and controlled player and may well be a possible signing for next season. Kyriagos needed the game and also did ok – but nowhere near as assured as O'Shea.
Ian_SAfc
how did Kyriagos and Bridge do ?
As a Lib Dem, he would be too busy crawling up the a*** of the shysters and chancers who allegedly govern this country. Plus, he wouldn't give you an opinion without seeing if Cameron or the appalling Clegg agreed with it.
Rant over!!!
Point taken, Ian, but I don't think we switched off. Give Blackburn some credit – they did to us what we have done to the likes of Liverpool, Arsenal and Newcastle recently in that they never allowed us to settle.
It will be interesting to see how Everton do at Arsenal tonight.
Difficult to see from Row 3 at the opposite end, Phil. Point taken – wish we had done!!
I think we do well against the big boys and when we see a club like WBA or Blackburn we think, "ok, we;ve worked hard, now we can relax a bit against these lot."
And we pay the price.
You cannot treat any team in the PL with any less than your best otherwise you'll lose.
I thought that MON would have rested players like Bendtner and Campbell, Gardner etc and put on some players who are wanting to impress. I don't know how Vaughn did but I would have thought he'd be up for it 100%. Maybe he was (I didn;t see the match, just heard it on the radio.)
I think for QPR we'll be back to 100% and win.
But, big teams like Man U etc don't switch off. That's not the mentality.
"Bendtner played deep (and did very well – although I am sure that there are many who will disagree with me)"
Not I PS. He seemed to be the one player who, having received the ball, could control it and then pass it to another player in a red & white shirt.
"Mignolet showed that he is human, when he came for Pedersen's long throw and missed it, allowing Hoilet to turn the ball in".
I'm sorry but that is just not correct!
He came for the ball and punched it hard enough for it to reach the edge of our penalty area where it, unfortunately, landed at Hoilet's feet and he placed a good shot into the net.
My immediate thought, though, was why was he unmarked with no one, seemingly, attempting to close him down, once the danger became clear.
Maybe, I should have just stayed in bed instead of setting the alarm for 2.45am and then enduring a performance in which it seemed players seemed incapable of passing a ball (Campbell, in particular, was guilty of this) and the energy levels were so reduced as to only permit one outcome.

Digging into the Past: The Fowler Clark Farm
July 24, 2015 Digging into the Past: The Fowler Clark Farm
Back in December, guest blogger Dr. John Steinberg of the Fiske Center for Archeological Research at UMass Boston wrote about his survey work at the Fowler Clark Farm in Mattapan which HBI recently acquired. Using ground penetrating radar (GPR), the UMass team surveyed all of the open space at the farm to determine if there were any likely areas that had been undisturbed since the house was built (circa 1786) where archaeological artifacts might be found. Today Dr. Steinberg reports on his team?s findings.
After dragging two geophysical instruments across all the open space at the Fowler-Clark farm in Mattapan last year and analyzing the resulting data, we determined that most of the front and back yards at the Fowler-Clark lot were very disturbed by earlier occupants of the site. Upon a detailed analysis of the data, two areas stood out as having potential preservation, so our team from UMass Boston Fiske Center for Archaeological Research returned to the site this spring to excavate two shovel test pits. The shovel test pits revealed that there are, in fact, two small, very deep layers that are preserved, potentially from the earliest occupations.
The first targeted excavation (TE#2) is right in the front of the barn/Carriage house. The cobblestone driveway actually goes over part of it. The area is just at the end of the GPR line that the UMass Boston graduate students are about to traverse in Figure 1. In the raw data you can see the outline of the stone driveway (blue box in Figure 2) over the preserved surface in both A-A? and B-B?. The preserved surface in TE#2 (Figure 4) turned out to be an ash layer with the top of that ash layer about 70 cm (25 in) below the ground surface (Figure 5). There was almost nothing of interest in the fill layer above the ash layer.
Figure 1) UMass Boston graduate students pulling the GPR with 500 MHz antenna. At the end of thiS transect (A=A?) they will be on top of TE #2.
In the raw data you can see the outline of the stone driveway (blue box in Figure 2) over the preserved surface in both A-A? and B-B?. The preserved surface in TE#2 (Figure 4) turned out to be an ash layer with the top of that ash layer about 70 cm (25 in) below the ground surface (Figure 5). There was almost nothing of interest in the fill layer above the ash layer.
Figure 2) Examples of raw data (sometimes called radargrams) from the GPR. Strong
reflectors produce a distinct series of black and white lines. The purple box in A-A?
outlines a preserved surface.
The second (TE#3) is in the front yard by the corner of Hosmer and Norfolk Streets. The preserved layer can be seen in the raw data in transect F-F? (Figure 2 denoted by the red arrows). This find is a little more exciting as this is potentially a preserved surface from the first European occupants of the site. About 90 cm (35+ inches) down, (Figure 6) we identified a rich organic layer (Figure 7). Again there were almost no artifacts above this layer. What this means is that the original surface of the land in the front yard (or ?A? horizon) used to be almost 3 feet lower than it is today. How, why and when the grade of the front yard was raised so significantly is anyone?s guess.
Both of these layers are interesting, considering the poor state of preservation of this yard. Using GPR technology in combination with excavation allows us to see more and disturb less than with archaeology alone.

JEFFREY WEEN ASSOCIATES v. Jeffrey Meyer, Defendant.
JEFFREY S. WEEN & ASSOCIATES, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. Lora LABOVSKY, et al., Defendants-Respondents. Jeffrey Meyer, Defendant.
ELLERIN, P.J., ROSENBERGER, NARDELLI, LERNER and ANDRIAS, JJ. Gerald Slotnik, for Plaintiff-Appellant. Bruce H. Lederman, for Defendants-Respondents. Defendants-Respondents, Pro Se.
Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Elliott Wilk, J.), entered June 5, 1998, which, inter alia, dismissed plaintiff's complaint and replies to defendants' counterclaims, unanimously affirmed, without costs.
After having been ordered to appear personally at an adjourned conference because counsel was unable to answer questions related to discovery issues, plaintiff's principal, Jeffrey Ween, did not attend the conference but instead sent counsel, who submitted a letter of engagement by Ween. Upon questioning by the court, it was disclosed that, contrary to the allegations in his letter, Ween was available since his trial had been resolved, but that Ween nonetheless chose to remain in his office, purportedly because he was not prepared to respond to certain interrogatories. After the court dismissed the complaint, it granted counsel's request for a brief recess in order to secure Ween's presence. Ween still refused to come to court, claiming that he was not prepared to defend on the counterclaims. Under the circumstances, plaintiff's principal's conduct was willful, contumacious and in bad faith and warranted the drastic remedy of striking plaintiff's pleadings (cf., Bd. of Mgrs. of the Landmark Condominium v. 117 Tulip Ave. Assocs., 247 A.D.2d 569, 669 N.Y.S.2d 54).
We have considered plaintiff's remaining contention and find it to be unavailing.
MEMORANDUM DECISION.


"Why Churches Buy Three Sounds Systems"
SHOWTIME MUSIC COMMERCIAL SOUND DIVISION, INC.
Harry Gillum, Rocky Gallo, and William Knight are acoustic consultants based in West Virginia, where they specialize in the design and installation of small and large sound reinforcement systems for, churches, stadiums, arenas, nightclubs, D.J.'s, and any facility where sound reinforcement is required. We have done extensive design work, and reinforcement for indoor and outdoor applications as well. We have received certification from NSCA (National Sound Contractors Association) NAMM (National Association of Music Merchants) from 1991-2007 and have worked in professional audio since 1970. We are full-time consultants with over 1000 installations. The client list includes numerous churches, clubs, and performance facilities. We have earned over 26 certifications in system design and engineering and attend training seminars each year.
Why Churches Buy So Many Sound Systems, and How You Can Buy Only One, requires research.
It is our goal to design and install your FINAL sound system. That's because most churches are concerned about purchasing sound systems that they do it three or four times before they finally end up with one that meets their needs! In order to discover the final needs, we have an extensive interview completed with the venue before we ever quote a design or price. Questions and answers result in a great sound system. Anything less is considered substandard. We ask that you do the research only one time, disclose your needs, and request that the sound contractor provide the products and services that will meet your individual needs. This equates to become your final sound system. Should price be your only consideration, then we are not the company for you, however, if performance is number one, then you should consider our services.
Often the first system is purchased when the church is constructed, often a member offers his services since he knows something about sound, played in a band, has been a D.J. in the past and thus he becomes the professional or the best advisor the church has to work with. The church depends on him to design a system to meet the needs of the church or venue. This individual only wants to save the church money, which in the long run cost thousands of dollars due to lack of knowledge. This person prints up a list of the equipment he has the best knowledge of and sends it along as a specification for bid, yet he has NO knowledge of the total needs of the venue. Often he leaves the facility in a year or two and the system never meets the needs and the church starts over again. At this point, most members are saying, why change the sound system, we just bought a new one last year? Well, the truth is the first one never worked and now we are going to start this process over again. The venue or church never knew that sound professionals existed to provide such services. And seldom do they know where to seek such advice. In simple terms, anyone or business that has a business license for $ 15.00 can be in the sound business. There are no requirements that the business owner is trained in total sound design and installation. Just a simple business license permits them to sell you equipment.
Why are the first systems replaced?
Some of the most common problems are feedback (howling), poor speech intelligibility, muddy music caused by too much reverberation, the system can't be heard on the platform, dead spots, hot spots, and just plain unpleasant sound quality. Now the church researches system number two. There are several variations on system number two. Often, members of the praise and worship team make exploratory visits to their friendly musical instrument store, where everyone either is, or has been, or knows someone who is or has been a roadie for a band. All of these folks know how to put together a sound system, however, they lack system design training. They do not understand that each venue requires a different level of service and performance. Most just want to make a sale of the goods on hand.
The second system starts with someone in the congregation who is knowledgeable in sound and because he's a friend or a friend of a friend, he's asked to design the next system. The church depends on this individual because he has been exposed to live music in the past. Now the second time around, the designer (member) is chosen because he's someone's friend or a member who wants to help, but only because he has some level of knowledge with sound. System number two is purchased and installed, and rarely works any better than the first. Now twice as much money has been spent, and attendance is sagging because of the poor sound. The pastor, choir, children's church still has poor communication with the congregation. The praise and worship team sounds more like noise than inspiration. Desperate measures are called for. If they're lucky, the church comes to the realization at this point that they'd better find someone who really knows what they're doing, a proven expert with a track record. This is when Showtime Music becomes a part of the church. Someone insists on bringing in a professional to meet with the pastor, leaders of the praise and worship team, as well as the technical teams, and will study the worship space, and measure its acoustics. Someone who will have to be paid to design the system because they don't work on commission, or markup from the sale of the system. Like our company, we would prefer you purchase your systems from someone else if you cannot let our company design YOUR SYSTEM around your individual needs.
It Does Not To Be So Complicated? After all, isn't all we're talking about nothing more than a simple PA system? Why can't the church just buy a mixer and some loudspeakers at a local electronics shop (or a music store) and hang them on the wall?
That's what they did in the smaller church they just moved out of, and it worked fine! There are several major reasons. First, as the size of the worship space gets larger, the demands placed on the sound system grow exponentially. In a small space, the choir and praise band are much less likely to need amplification to carry to the congregation, and there is rarely enough reverberation to make it hard to understand the spoken word. The larger space, the more reverberation there will be to muddle both the spoken word and the praise band. Echoes from rear walls, balcony faces, sidewalls, and ceilings can make things even worse. It takes a very skillful sound system design to overcome these problems. It can be done and done well, but it isn't easy. The sound must be very carefully controlled, focused only on listeners with as little as possible spilling onto walls and ceilings. This takes the right type of loudspeakers in the right place and very carefully aiming. Loudspeakers designed for bar bands or for touring sound are rarely the right choice here. Often, the church ends up with a system designed by the local converted band member that knows what to offer. WRONG!! Have it designed correctly the first time and save thousands of dollars in the future. Let a sound professional with a proven track record become part of your sound system design.
NOW, the role of sound has become dedicated to praise and worship. Music is used to inspire, to lift the spirit, and to bring the unchurched into the fold. Choirs which used to sing with only an organ or piano are now accompanied in many churches by a rhythm section with guitar, bass, drums, and other instruments needed from the praise team. For churches that incorporate a contemporary style of worship, the sound system must make the choir much louder to balance with drums and electronic instruments, and the various musicians must be able to hear each other well to play together. Again, careful control of sound is critical if this is to be accomplished without feedback. The acoustic design of the worship space is fundamentally important for both of these concerns. Often there is so much reverberation in a church that the praise band has turned to mush before the sound system is even turned on. Everyone on the stage wants to be heard and plays too loud. Careful sound system design and enough money CAN provide good speech intelligibility in almost any space. But there is NOTHING that can be done with a sound system to improve the sound of the praise band unless the sound system contractor can train the praise team to understand the correct way to play and be disciplined for the service. If the praise team cannot understand the principals of dynamics, then the contractor has failed in his training program for the church. Our goal requires training on-site at least twice. If the venue is not prepared to bring the musicians together to learn, there is NO reason to spend the money on a new sound system.
An acoustic consultant is an expert who you hire to design your church's acoustics and your sound system. Some consultants specialize in acoustics, while others specialize in sound system design. Many of the larger firms have people who do both. A sound consultant's job is to interview your church and make a decision for your design based on your needs alone. Showtime Music studies acoustics, physics, and engineering the total application for your venue alone. The sound system consultant needs a solid understanding of acoustics, and electronics, as well as ongoing education, to keep up with advances. Your engineer will help choose the room finishes for the ceiling, walls, and floors in order to provide the room with good acoustics, which are best for your congregation's style of worship. Which (if any) floors should be carpeted? Should there be pew cushions? Where should the choir, the praise band, and the organ be located? The acoustic consultant will also work with your architect to make sure the church has a quiet HVAC system; elevator motors, door latches, and the like are some of the key concerns. Organ companies and music stores are notoriously bad at providing advice on the design of acoustics and sound systems. A true consultant is independent of stores, contractors, and manufacturers. We do not make our make living on the profit or commission from sales of equipment and the labor to install it. We design our equipment around your room, and if we require changes in the HVAC system or interior design, we will suggest these changes well in advance. Put simply, you need experts, with impartial advice. You need to be confident that we are technically correct, and are advising you in your best interests.
Your team must first understand the locate a sound contractor to design and install your last sound system. It is the goal of Showtime Music to d provide a designed system for your church's goals and worship service. We have only one goal, do it right the first time. If the price is the main issue for the church, we would prefer to not be involved. We design a sound system around your needs, and the price for the service is to provide you with the tools to meet your goals. If you or your church wants a budget system, we do not want to be a part of your wish list, we will be happy to design your future system to meet your goals. We understand that often the goals may take 1-5 years and we will design a system and installation to meet your goals. We ask that you not purchase a system based on price...we say wait and do it right for the last time.
Some suggestions for all venues and churches to consider: This is a list a several items to consider when bringing the sound system in the house: Work with the architect to get the acoustics right for the intended uses, and to prevent noise from both inside (HVAC systems, air flow pressure, motor noise, transformers, door latches, footsteps in the hall, etc.) and outside the building highway traffic, farm equipment, air crafts, and other such outside noise that may present itself during service.
Some suggestions to consider during your construction process: Work with the electrical engineer for the project to get a conduit for sound system wiring. We ask you to use PVC conduit and no metal for sound system wiring. Clean technical power and grounding so that everyday operation of the system is not troubled by hums and buzzes. Work with the mechanical engineer for the project to make sure that HVAC systems are quiet and that the air noise is less than 70db. This is the normal level we speak. If the HVAC system produces 15DB of noise, we must increase the overall volume by 15DB to compensate. This all comes with a price tag.
Work with the architect to find good ways to conceal loudspeakers, either by building them into ceilings and walls or by turning them into architectural elements which don't look like loudspeakers or are acceptable in the venue. Keep in mind that speakers are not invisible and they are required to produce sound for the service. The sound system you choose may not be pretty but you want one that does the job. This is what we provide based on our discussion with your sound committee. Showtime Music will only suggest and provide the correct equipment to satisfy your service needs.
Work with the architect and the congregation on both the shape and layout of the worship space, so that, for example; choirs are in a location where they can be miked without feedback, and so that the relationship between the choir, praise band, organ, and congregation allows the choir to be heard without being overpowered by the praise band or the organ. If the choir requires mics in front of the organ speakers and or pipes, you must understand, this will not work. This will require a strong understanding of what you can expect and how the system will work.
Design a sound system that provides both good intelligibility for the spoken word, clean dynamic sound for the musical elements of praise and worship, and is well balanced throughout the congregation. Not just a loud system. A great designed system is not loud, it is clear and heard in all seating areas.
Design system elements which provide good sound to those on the platform. There are many options today including in-ear monitors, wired, and wireless. We also have systems that offer onstage monitors for the first 16 channels of the mixing board to reduce the overall stage volume. This helps to reduce the overall volume level at the first few pews as well as the slap back from the stage that creates noise instead of music.
Review architectural, electrical and mechanical drawings before they go out to bid to make sure that things worked out at the design stage actually show up satisfactorily on the drawings. Require the contractor to provide additional information as to how the system will work. You may have to purchase these prints and you should expect a charge of 8-10% of the total bid contract if you require prints. The contractor should provide the wiring prints, equipment list, as well as the operation of the system. Do not insult the contractor by asking for the prints for free. If the contractor has completed the correct design prints, they have spent 50-200 hours on design work and they should be paid for the service. We offer a total design print at a cost of 20% of the total bid. Should your venue want to bid the design, we suggest that each designer/contractor meet with you and discuss your individual needs to avoid such conflict. Each contractor will design the system to work differently. Showtime Music offers consulting and design services for additional fees.
The congregation must work through budget issues. Sound systems nearly always cost more than the congregation expects or is prepared to pay. Some parts of the system can usually be deferred and purchased later, but it's usually necessary to dedicate more money to the sound system that was originally planned. These are sometimes hard decisions, and it's important to be working with someone you trust in working through them. The most important part of the sound and video system is for the members to be able to hear and see the service. Often, since these areas seem to have little value, the church wants to cut the budget, say we do not need this, and yet they have little or no knowledge of the required services needed. This is when the sound committee must step up to the plate and say...This is what we need.
Document the system thoroughly with drawings, specification, make and model, specific equipment list so that it can be competitively purchased from a good local contractor. If you ask for this information, you must be prepared to pay for the prints. The average cost is about 8-20% of the total bid. This is no different than calling a designer and asking them to design your church. There is always a fee involved for such services.
Help you find a good contractor to install the system, and help you either bid or negotiate the purchase with that contractor. The best possible position is to have a contractor that you fill good about there design to meet your goals and start a plan to complete your project. Most all sound and video contractors will have a bid within 6-10% of each other. Do not be afraid to accept the more expensive bid if you feel you will receive additional training and support. If you must hire training and support after the installation expects to pay up to $ 120.00 per hour if you must contact additional help from your local contractor. Price is not always the best deal. Service after the sale should be considered number one.
Coordinate with the contractor during the installation process to make sure things are done right, and work through the conflicts with other building elements which inevitably develop in any major construction project. No project is ever completed without flaws, however, if you make the changes during the installation process and discuss the changes with the contractor, you will have a less than flawless installation.
Once the system is installed and tested, only then can you discuss the points of the installation and how the system works.
How does a church find a good consultant? Strange as it may seem, there is no good list of consultants qualified to design sound and video systems for churches. Ask for references and a list of other churches completed by the contractor. Do not be afraid to ask for your sound committee to make arrangements to go to other churches that the contractor has installed quality systems in so you may hear their systems as well. Most of the better consultants are centered in a handful of the larger cities and work nationally. It's much more important for you to have a local sound contractor than to have an out of town consultant. The consultant will need to travel to your church only a few times to provide the services you need, but you'll want the contractor to be there for you long after the job is done to provide support and to help you expand the system as you grow. Buying a sound system can be a daunting task for any church, but be encouraged. If you'll follow the advice offered here, you really CAN get it right the first time!

For just the second time in the last three years, Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez will spend the holiday season looking for a new head football coach. He must also consider whether he'll accept the seniors invitation to coach the Badgers in the New Years Day Outback Bowl after Gary Andersen said he's leaving Wisconsin after just two seasons on the job.
Andersen has accepted the head coaching position at Oregon State, replacing Mike Riley who left the school to take over at Nebraska. Oregon State plans to introduce Andersen at a news conference on Friday. Anderson told Alvarez he was leaving Madison for family reasons.
Alvarez certainly didn't see this coming. But what's somewhat concerning is that Wisconsin has all of a sudden become a stepping stone job. Alvarez will be looking to change that with his next coaching hire.
Brookfield East standout Alec James is a big key in Wisconsin's incoming football recruiting class, but the coaching change from Bret Bielema to Gary Anderson left some doubt as to whether James would stick with the Badgers.
Nothing is official until the papers are signed next week, but it appears James will be a Badger after reaffirming his commitment to the UW this week.
After Bielema left, James had re-opened recruiting talks and was considering Oregon and Michigan State. But it's the Badgers that appear to have won the recruiting battle for James.
When Wisconsin took care of Nebraska 70-31 in the Big Ten title game December 1st, little did we know what the 2013 Rose Bowl would like for the Badgers. Three days after punching a third straight ticket to Pasadena, Wisconsin found themselves without a coach as Bret Bielema bolted Madison for Arkansas. With no coach to lead the program, the King of the Rose Bowl, Barry Alvarez, stepped up to the plate and will lead the Badgers against #6 Stanford today in the 99th edition of the Rose Bowl.
Madison today. Because of a 2-week waiting period from the time the job was posted, Anderson can't be officially hired as the new head football coach of the Wisconsin Badgers until Thursday.
Because of a large winter storm that is going to hit the state on Thursday, Anderson may not be introduced as the Badgers new coach until possibly Friday.
Anderson led his Aggies to a 11-2 season, including a season ending 41-15 rout of Toledo on Saturday in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl in Boise, Idaho.
Wisconsin radio voice Mike Lucas said, Andersen's background as a defensive coach likely appealed to athletic director Barry Alvarez, a former defensive coordinator and linebackers coach himself.
Following is my conversation this morning with Mike Lucas about the Gary Anderson decision.
Gary Anderson to replace Bret Bielema as the next head coach of the Wisconsin Badgers.
Anderson is reportedly informing his staff of his decision to leave on Tuesday night.
Anderson led his 18th ranked Aggies to a WAC Championship and a 11-2 finish overall. They beat Toledo 41-15 on Saturday in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl in Boise, Idaho.
Wisconsin faced Utah State earlier this season, pulling out a 16-14 win over the Aggies in September at Camp Randall Stadium.
extend an offer to a head-coaching candidate in the next couple of weeks.
During his monthly radio show on the Badger Sports Network, Alvarez said, "If things break right I'd like to have someone offered the job, that I feel comfortable with, before Christmas.
Earlier in the day on Tuesday, UW officials announced Alvarez will receive additional compensation of $118,500 for coaching UW in the Rose Bowl. The funds will come from the $1-million contract buyout of Bielema. The buyout is being picked up by the University of Arkansas.
Alvarez would also be eligible for a $50,000 bonus if the Badgers win the Rose Bowl.
announcing that he would coach the team in the Rose Bowl against Stanford on New Years Day.
Many of the players on the team that want Alvarez to coach this one game, were watching Alvarez win Rose Bowls in Madison years ago as the Badgers coach. Alvarez coached 16 seasons in Madison and won three Rose Bowls.


Be sure to arrive on or before 2 PM to catch the full performance!
Iwami Kagura is one of about 3,000 types of Kagura folk dance which is rooted in Shinto rituals. Originating from Shimane Prefecture of Western Japan, Iwami Kagura is a collection of 33 Japanese mythological tales (or episodes), known for its festive elements and enjoyed by the general public.
Japan Performing Arts (JPA) will perform the "Orochi" episode (or "Serpents") of Iwami Kagura. The performance will include a brief history and explanation of Iwami Kagura, the costumes and props, and maneuvering techniques used to make the 55-feet Orochi appear life-like. At the end of the performance, audience members will be invited to try on the Orochi costume.
Live music with traditional Japanese instruments will accompany the performance.
JPA is excited to be performing at Governors Island for the first time and at the historic House 403, a brick house constructed in 1904 and famous for the meeting that took place between Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev after the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Measures to address gender-specific health issues are essential due to fundamental, biological differences between the sexes. Studies have increasingly stressed the importance of customizing approaches directed at women's health issues according to stages in the female life cycle. In Korea, however, gender-specific studies on issues affecting Korean women in relation to stages in their life cycle are lacking. Accordingly, the Korean Study of Women's Health-Related Issues (K-Stori) was designed to investigate life cycle-specific health issues among women, covering health status, awareness, and risk perceptions.
K-Stori was conducted as a nationwide cross-sectional survey targeting Korean women aged 14-79 years. Per each stage in the female life cycle (adolescence, childbearing age, pregnancy & postpartum, menopause, and older adult stage), 3000 women (total 15,000) were recruited by stratified multistage random sampling for geographic area based on the 2010 Resident Registration Population in Korea. Specialized questionnaires per each stage (total of five) were developed in consultation with multidisciplinary experts and by reflecting upon current interests into health among the general population of women in Korea. This survey was conducted from April 1 to June 31, 2016, at which time investigators from a professional research agency went door-to-door to recruit residents and conducted in-person interviews.
The study's findings may help with elucidating health issues and unmet needs specific to each stage in the life cycle of Korean women that have yet to be identified in present surveys.


Last Friday, the FBI issued an urgent official warning about a Russian botnet that uses VPNFilter malware to launch a widespread hacking campaign, which is compromising hundreds of thousands of routers and other networked devices in homes or small businesses around the world. The government agency advised owners to reboot their devices in an effort to disrupt the malicious software.
The FBI said the threat actors used VPNFilter malware to target their victims. VPNFilter is capable of various actions, including information gathering, exploitation of connected devices, such as computers, and blocking network traffic. It targets routers produced by multiple different manufacturers and network-attacked storage devices by at least one manufacturer; and is capable of rendering them inoperable. The malware can also likely gather information passing through the router. Its detection can be difficult because of "its use of encryption and misattributable networks".
Cybersecurity experts say VPNFilter has infected some 500,0000 devices globally. Experts at Talos, the security arm of Cisco, performed an analysis, which also detected the attack's presence in at least 54 different countries. Talos warned that the code of this malware overlaps with versions of the BlackEnergy malware, the same malware behind multiple large-scale attacks that previously targeted devices in Ukraine.
Talos cautioned that they had not finished their report yet, but "felt it was best" to publish its current findings "so that affected parties can take the appropriate action to defend themselves".
VPNFilter has been quietly spreading since at least 2016, according to researchers. Device manufacturers include Linksys, MikroTik, Netgear and TP-Link.
U.S. intelligence officials say that the VPNFilter botnet was set up by a hacking group known in different iterations, including APT28 and the Sofacy Group. The group was involved in the operation to hack into the Democratic Party during the 2016 U.S. election campaign.

PD Allen lives in a cabin in a remote section of the Porcupine Mountains in Michigan's Upper Peninsula with a fey spirit that answers to the human name of Elizabeth. Their cabin is equipped with a hand pump to draw water. Electricity is provided by a bicycle hooked to a small generator.
He spends his days hunting, fishing and foraging. He travels around the Up a great deal, gathering folklore and exploring various mysteries. He also practices shamanism, and can sometimes be seen traveling through the wilderness, flying from treetop to treetop. Occasionally he assumes the form of a black panther, a large red fox or a hawk.
On clear nights when there is a full moon, locals say you can hear him playing his fiddle high up in the mountains. The Indians say he plays for the little Manitou, which come out to dance and caper.
At least once per week, he travels twenty-five miles on foot to the nearest cybercafe – Walt's Bait and Cybercafe. There he updates his blog – Of Our Own Design.

Driving Change: Too little too late?
Workshop by a House Committee goes in the right direction, just not in time
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – News 6 has been pushing to get results for the past seven months by putting pressure on lawmakers to change Florida's ineffective driving and texting law. The persistence has paid off and political leaders are finally listening.
Just not in time.
For the immediate future, Floridians will be able to continue to text while driving and police officers won't be able to do much about it. Politicians attempted to change the law this session: four anti-texting bills were introduced for 2017, but only one, Senate Bill 144, got any traction.
Of the four committees assigned to hear the bill and vote yay or nay, SB 144 only made it through two of them. On the House side, things were even worse: neither of the two bills were heard by any committees.
The House Government Accountability Committee held a workshop Monday inviting law enforcement, advocates, and the public for input on changing Florida's texting and driving law. The common theme from most of the people submitting testimony: push the law from a secondary offense to a primary offense.
"The theory of general deterrent states that when a driver's discomfort or concern for being stopped outweighs the desire to disobey the law then they comply with the law," said former Winter Park Police Chief Brett Railey. "The law that we currently have on the books is toothless and an officer cannot pro-actively take action to stop someone texting and driving. It always has to be re-active after they've already done their damage."
Though the Committee is powerless for the short-term to push forward any legislation before the session ends in May, members said they were hopeful.
"I think that this workshop today is a good sign that the leadership is interested in tackling this issue," said freshman Rep.Carlos Guillermo Smith (D-Orlando.)
But Smith added "There's not really any time for us to be able to get this done."
Keyna Cory, with the FL Dnt Txt + Drive Coalition, told lawmakers "Between the AAA and AARP, we have millions of people that are asking you to please make a change in the law. Move our texting while driving from a secondary to a primary offense."
Cory's group represents about forty organizations who said they think it's time to change the law.
Speaking in support of the Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles Department, Chief Mark Brown of the Florida Highway Patrol said "Distracted driving causes traffic crashes, regardless of what they're doing." Brown added "Whether they're trying to get directions somewhere while they're operating a motor vehicle, traveling down the highway, it's a distraction. It takes away their thoughts."
Demetrius Branca, whose son Anthony was killed by a distracted driver while riding his motorcycle in November of 2014, told the Committee "there are people dying in our streets every day."
After the meeting, he told News 6 that in his opinion, getting behind the wheel of your car is both a responsibility and a privilege.
"Anytime that you pick up your phone, and look at your phone while you are driving a moving vehicle, what you're essentially saying is that what's happening on your phone is more important than the lives of the people in the car with you," Branca said. "And I would really ask people 'is that what you really want to say?'"

Alle Chutney is one more popular chutney. In konkani, Alle means ginger. This chutney is a coconut based one which has a good flavor induced by the addition of fresh ginger. This chutney is commonly paired with Udidu- maida polo.
I got this recipe in a cook book written by Jaya V Shenoy.
Now grind grated coconut, roasted red chillies, tamarind, green chilli, ginger and salt along with little water, to get a paste (not too fine).
For Seasoning- Heat oil and then add mustard seeds. Once it starts to splutter, add curry leaves and turn off the heat. Add this to the chutney. Alle Chutney is ready!!
Serve it along with idli, dosa. Above measurement serves three people.
Note: My mother makes ginger chutney only with grated coconut, green chillies and ginger. They are ground together and it has no seasoning. Generally she serves it with idli.
