Counter Intuition, False Dichotomies, Seig Heil for the Siloed Manufactured Causes/Consents
by Paul Haeder / December 21st, 2017
A change in Quantity also entails a change in Quality.
― Friedrich Engels
No one can define or measure justice, democracy, security, freedom, truth, or love. No one can define or measure any value. But if no one speaks up for them, if systems aren't designed to produce them, if we don't speak about them and point toward their presence or absence, they will cease to exist.
― Donella H. Meadows, Thinking in Systems: A Primer
If it seems self-serving and pedestrian to chronicle my own slice of heaven called Working as a Precariat USA, then so be it. I have read so much lately on climate science, on the science around the toxic earth, around the political-billionaire-millionaire miscreants, both male and female (Trump commuted this Kosher Millionaire Rabbi, in jail for bank fraud, 27 years, today, so expect other chosen people of the white collar criminal variety to be pardoned, let go, praised), and the on-going Scarlet Letter Outing of Men, therefore, coming down out of the ether of punditry and mainstream-and-not-so-liberal-media to get my own ground-truthing framed in what is dog-eat-dog predatory capitalism turbo charged seems like sanity to me.
I could get all British Lit on my reader by quoting John Donne, since inherently I am an entrenched systems thinker, a giver in the Ishmael sense, and understand the principles tied to cooperative evolution:
No man is an island,
Entire of itself,
Every man is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manor of thy friend's
Or of thine own were:
Any man's death diminishes me,
Because I am involved in mankind,
And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls;
It tolls for thee.
— John Donne
And I could get all deep ecology on you, and cite a simple but profound set of laws tied to the notion of biomimicry by Janine Benyus:
9 Basic Principles of Biomimicry
Nature runs on sunlight.
Nature uses only the energy it needs.
Nature fits form to function.
Nature recycles everything.
Nature rewards cooperation.
Nature banks on diversity.
Nature demands local expertise.
Nature curbs excesses from within.
Nature taps the power of limits.
But my own little world coming into the Year 2018 (year of the dog) centers around my identity, or part of it, as assigned to me by Capitalists: my age, my gender, my sexuality, my race, my upbringing, my education, my wallet, my political affiliations, my religion, my abilities, my disabilities, my blind-spots, my enlightened self, my weight-height-strength, my IQ's, my credit report, my military record, my criminal record, my work record, my health record, my belief system, and, well, my Google rating. There is no room in Capitalism for holism, seeing and talking about the "philosophy-ethos-spiritual me"!
There's so much more to us, most human beings, even deplorables, yet, in USA and the Matrix, it all boils down to what you do for a living, and what do you show materially from that living.
I am still seething from a sacking, almost two months ago, which I have chronicled here and here and here, and part of that sacking was my questioning vaccine safety. My stories have gone viral, in a sense, tied to the educated and safety seekers looking at the vaccination movement. I am clumped into the realm of a large swath of people and organizations looking at the injuries, incapacitation and deaths caused by the forces of genetics in one's self and vaccines. I am also connected vis-à-vis WWW to those groups doubting the legality and ethics of forcing people to get shot-up with drugs, from the US Air Force pilots protesting the so-called anthrax vaccine, to nurses against the latest flu shot, and those parents and advocates who do not want to be forced to have children pumped up with untested vaccines – 19 or more by age five (32 by age 15!). Many kids are getting shot up without parental (informed) consent. CDC's dictum:
The CDC has just launched a program that will calculate a catch-up schedule for children who were not vaccinated on schedule. A 5-year-old child who was not previously vaccinated would be required to receive 19 vaccines in one month, including 6 doses of aluminum-containing injections! This catch-up schedule was NOT tested for safety to determine the immediate or long-term risk of neurological or immunological damage.
Let me back up. What happened to me, in a nutshell, is my right to free speech, my right to a safe, open and embracing classroom environment, and my right to be heard in regard to a complaint made by Planned Parenthood were ripped from my hands and vocal chords, so to speak, and ripped from myself as a human trying to do good as a social worker and make a living.
I was in a class, at Planned Parenthood of the Great Northwest in the city of Seattle, two bastions (sic) of liberalism and supposed respect for diverse opinions. I've lived and worked there, Puget Sound, Seattle, and I have chronicled that sometimes nauseating place and the select citizens I call "unpeople" here at DV and other places. It is not the nirvana of liberalism, and it's a place overcrowded, full of citizens who are homeless, and more precarious than success stories, with the rich and the Amazon and Bill Gates groupies high on their own flatulence. That's another story.
Mine now, as I go to interview after interview since my termination, to get back in the saddle, to get a job to survive, goes like this: I was told I could not finish day two of this almost mindless 16-hour class (we practiced saying vulva and penis in a circle while passing around stuffed animals!), because of the supposed crime of not believing all the news fit to print from the PR/propaganda engines of Big Pharma, Western Medicine and the vaccination makers (I was so much more contrite and reserved in my statements in the classroom of 45 people, four men and 41 women, than maybe the reader can imagine, but it's true . . . and I have coworker witnesses to attest to it).
I was also told (not directly, but through my employer, a non-profit in Portland) by three Planned Parenthood teachers (sic) that my broaching of Chinese traditional medicine and native American and other cultural systems of healing in a brief aside solicited by the teachers was not just NOT allowed but inflammatory and dangerous to the other students. Finally, these three PP people (and I suppose several supervisors behind the scenes) labeled me as a disruptive force to the learning environment, which is obscene since I was the picture of comportment and low-key engagement!
I expected some decency from my bosses to get my story and my coworkers' stories, but instead, I was railroaded out of the job. I did not work for Planned Parenthood, it must be stressed. Imagine the conflict of interest tied to Planned Parenthood making millions off of giving boys and girls and young adults the HPV vaccine, Gardasil, marketed by Merck. Planned Parenthood's $350 million yearly budget is fed through Big Pharma donations and, of course, taxpayer grants/funding. The sex ed classes Planned Parenthood delivers to my clients and to social workers is funded by public coffers. Planned Parenthood also has an international division, and teamed up with Bill and Melinda, Big Pharma and those killer philanthropists who want the great white hope of their messed up lives to be the every glowing smile of Third World victims of structural violence, agricultural rape, mass drug/vaccine experiments, and a new form of Facebook happy meal eugenics. Planned Parenthood also has a political arm, lobbying for their own special interests, some worthy, other nefarious.
Even though I never got into a vaccine debate with Planned Parenthood, really, truthfully, the trainers took a couple of off-the-record anonymous comments written down by me around not appreciating Planned Parenthood taking the side of pharmaceutical hook-line-and-sinker as proof of my heresy and radical view. Hell, how hard is it to surf the internet and find peer-reviewed and millions of anecdotal stories about vaccine injuries and incapacitation and death, tied to the HPV vaccine? There are huge issues tied to the rotten lies of the vaccine makers and distributors here:

This is the world we are in a nutshell – liberals attacking independent thinkers, radicals on the left like me. The Politically Corrective forces of the liberal class and the big businesses like those outfits run like Planned Parenthood have the power to tell my Portland, Oregon, bosses I am dismissed from a mandatory training, and then, my job as social worker ends in termination with a sham of an investigation.
It's easy to be resentful of the powers that be, in this case, Democratic Party females who wanted me shut up, shut down, out of social work!
Two and two put together, in a simple sense, is that my few words voiced in a calm, respectful manner at a Planned Parenthood course (repeat, tax payer funded training) on the Fundamentals of Sex (sex ed) precipitated a termination, and now a bruise on my reputation is growing like a hematoma of gigantic proportions. Does anyone think finding a job, a replacement job, is easy now that I was terminated and now that I have voiced all of this on the worldwide net?
Readers must know the particular nature of employment in the Portland, Oregon, area, which is now becoming Califi-cadia, and the fact many people from bigger cities, back east, too, have been coming out here for the evergreens, rivers, snowboarding, beer and (back a few years), more millionaire-affordable-friendly homes and income rentals. The competition for rare jobs with my background, and for someone like me – radical and dissident — is steep.
I know a lot of writers who are more or less safe economically or job wise that could never understand and maybe empathize with my predicament. "Damaged goods, and why have you stagnated in this lowly field with so much going for you in your thirties and forties? Graduate degrees and writing awards. What's up with that? It must be something about you – your big mouth, something." Variations on that theme.
Now in the scheme of things, I am reminded daily, I am not a head of a family in Yemen, or journalist in Myanmar, or working as a teacher in Mexico, or plying my trade as social worker in Honduras, or living the dissident's life as a Palestinian activist in Gaza, so I should count my lucky stars.
All of that goes without saying, for sure, and in the global scheme of things, this is merely a bump in my life inside the United States of Israel's financial and surveillance hall of mirrors (read Robert Fisk's smart take on the United States of Israel rather than the cartoon prophecies above linked)
Yet, for me to have any traction on my thinking about how screwed up America is, from the towers of the three men who own half of all USA wealth, to the drone shops helping immolate wedding parties and sleeping babies, to the absurdity of the duopoly political class, to the ever-eviscerating communities from shore to shining shore, I have to go personal, in the now, as the idiocy and injustices unfold for me, from my pennyante perspective. I understand how to make those allusions and comparisons to my brothers and sisters in arms in much more dire circumstances.
This bizarre situation at a Planned Parenthood training demonstrates the power of the forces of stupidity and lock step thinking running certain parts of America's grand illusion kabuki show; and for me, a rare male in the business of social worker, this has been a reckoning with an upside-down world of social services run by women, some of whom are as uncaring and dictatorial and unethical as their male counterparts who they dis all the time.
Here I am, on a second lawyer listening to me and contemplating the veracity of some wrongful termination suit, looking at whistle-blower laws, and positing possible gender-age-religious discrimination. The first legal outfit I dealt with is a non-profit and stated they were spread too thin to handle my case.
"If only you were disabled, African-American, a veteran, homosexual, and living with PTSD and a speech impediment." In so many words, that was the prognosis.
The new lawyer says, "Look, you were terminated for being 'argumentative' and 'aggressive.' For a white heterosexual man, that's a no-no. But, if you were a woman, and were 'combative', they'd see that as passionate and demonstrable of being a great advocate for her clients, as an honorable thing showing you are willing to be there fully supporting clients. They'd say 'aggressive' for a woman would be justified and more akin to being smart, focused, confident and ready to take on challenges and advocate for your clients and a worthy way to make real changes for the female gender. And, one man's arguing is another woman's opining. "
This coming from a female lawyer . . .
The world according to the felons running the show, whether it's political, private capital, big business, and big non-profit and big government, well, my mother told me at a young age, 16: "Your mouth and your passion and your sense of justice and your anti-authority character and constant questioning will get you fired . . . expect a lonely path to old age and a rocky series of rites of passage . . . make family important, friendships key, and follow that vision quest and obsession with putting nature right. As long as you continue understanding why you are where you are, why there are no laurels awaiting you, and why the powers that be do not want you in the same room, then you are possibly more realized and actualized than most."
Something along those lines, Mona from British Columbia used to say, but alas, the story is never ending, and the gifts that capitalism and elitism and Empire just keep on giving are those that really give it to us. Daily and second-by-second-by-nanosecond.
As the daily diet of perversions and accusations of perversion, sexual harassment, sexual assault, and all things in between rape and coming on to a woman, it is a wonder anyone can think straight about what it means to be men and women working toward justice, toward universal human rights.
I've read over at the World Socialist Website stories about how the #MeToo movement is a witch hunt, and while perusing the comments sections, I am feeling as if I am living in the 1950s, or in the Trump-Billy Bush-Howard Stern locker-room with the outward misogyny:
All of this is being ignored in the campaign over sexual harassment. Class divisions are covered up beneath the claim that all women, regardless of their income, share the same "experience" of being oppressed by men, who, particularly if they are white, enjoy the benefits of the "privileged."
The sexual harassment campaign is right-wing, antidemocratic and politically reactionary. It has nothing to do with the interests of the workers, men or women.
Some of WSWS writer Joseph Kishore's points are well taken, like there has to be a delineation between something said versus something done, and that there has to be a fair airing of accusations, fairness, and of course, innocence before guilt and a fair answering to allegations. But, are there more important things in the world than a Saturday Night Live comic groping women at state fairs as his role as senator? Isn't this what we have succumbed to, this cult of celebrity? And, are we really all crocodile teary about millionaires and multi-multi millionaires losing jobs in entertainment (who could count a Charlie Rose as a journalist, or a classical conductor as anything more than entertainer?).
Lost in the entire defense, of course, is that having these creeps masturbate in front of you is a crime, really, public exposure, to say the least. How many of my clients, homeless, living in shit cities with no public restrooms or toilets, get arrested for public urination, and if seen by someone who complains, it's three times and you are labeled a sex offender.
Lost in this millionaires' game of exposing genitals and spreading semen, is that who in hell would want their nieces, daughters, wives and sons and brothers put to this test: capitalist men in power, or some form of power stretched down the line far from the corridors of the political and arts and entertainment domains, exposing themselves in front of loved ones? Who wants some actor or director or editor grabbing their loved ones and friends, or mauling girls and women in public or private against their wills? Is this the nature of some of these so-called leftists rebuffing the calling out of the perverts? Any manner of stupidity tied to lecherous behavior in the workplace, and this power dynamic of keeping a job or getting one or a better position based on some male actor's or journalist's or CEO's demented sexual game or worse, sexual assault, should be called out and dealt with.
Is there presumed innocence? Come on, in an at-will state, in a world of precarity, we are all guilty, hence the mandatory background-credit-work history-drug-medical history checks, even before employment.
The fact that these conservative money-grubbing outfits like PBS or NBC or Uber or Walmart are sacking people before a fair trial or investigation, it does speak to the power of Capitalism. All of that is unethical, and unfair, but I see no massive wave of people defending the rights of the worker, the rights of maids and hotel workers and fast-food workers and restaurant servers or anyone working in you-name-the-field to not only not have to live with sexual harassment and quid pro quo but also with unlivable wages, precarious jobs, wage theft, and lack of say in the workplace.
But here, again, blaming the victims, as if women or men ever had the rights and backing to confront bad bosses and bad decisions and harassment and workplace dangers and on and on, but we have the "well if women are going to be Playboy bunnies, then all women are game . . . ."
Kim Kardashian is famous for one thing – her opulent and well-televised derriere. Miley Cyrus has a music video where she swings around buck naked on a wrecking ball, Beyonce is applauded for her "daring feminine rights" song, during which she and her backup singers dress like strippers and dance around poles, the Russian group, Pussy Riot, who have done performances in which they use raw chicken parts to simulate masturbation, were invited to visit the US Congress and were given a standing ovation when they did so, rappers make millions with music videos where women are denigrated and used as props to dance around showing their behinds to the camera, hundreds of women in the US have participated in so-called "slut riots" where they stalk down major thoroughfares in their undergarments just to prove they can and they are lauded for their "daring bravery", and tens of thousands of Americans routinely enroll their daughters in beauty pageants each year, where they will be judged on their physical attributes.
And yet, anonymous decades-old allegations with vague references to some sort of "something offensive" (not offensive enough for the accuser to have taken action when the "something" occurred, however), are horrifying and can wipe out careers overnight.
This is absurd, and we are also not in some revolutionary moment, some civil rights for women movement stitched into Hollywood's obvious depravities on many levels.
The stinking world I live and work in is all about political correctiveness, about demeaning HR folk, about top-heavy administrations, about supervisors who could care less about turnover of employees, who are there to berate or control. Daily, the stupidity of people in my profession – social services – belies a compliant field and brow-beater middling people in positions of authority.
They will fawn over Obama or Hillary. Imagine, calling black youth "super predators" (Clinton, Trump). Imagine, bragging about being a good killer and laughing about using "drones on any of my daughters' boyfriends that get out of line" (Obama). Imagine Madeline Albright saying a million dead Iraqis as a result of US-imposed sanctions was just the business (as usual) of the United States, LLC (collateral damage in keeping with the USA's economic security). Imagine the bayonet rape of Libya both figuratively and literally with Qaddafi and the smirk from Mrs. Clinton!
I get canned – kicked out of "liberal" Planned Parenthood's Seattle offices and then fired from a female-run and largely female-staffed non-profit that pays marketing firms to PR their reputation as caring leaders in mental health services?
I just mentioned briefly a vaccine and alternative forms of medicine.
As brief as three sentences written and thirty spoken words.
Sacked, frog-marched out of work, and my young clients, left hanging, many in crisis.
We live in an upside-down world, where this Obama gets laughs and giggles joking about using drones on his daughters' boyfriends if they get out of line, yet, if the great pretender Obama were to mention the bust and butt of Beyonce after her Super Bowl performance, Obama would have been derided, chided or worse, censored.
Maybe!
I think I started this post around what it means to be a man, a father, a son, a grandson, and, partner/significant other/husband.
Man, in the 1980's, I was teaching Robert Bly, Iron John, and got attacked on all sides of the issues around mentoring boys into men, around the general thesis Bly was impregnating that book with. He talked about the inner boy in a screwed up family may "keep on being shamed, invaded, disappointed, and paralyzed for years and years." Bly talked about how boys and men in the USA feel like victims in that messed up family. Bly was attempting to close the door to that victimhood. He talked about the inner warrior to defend "their soul houses" from invasions. It was that warrior, for both men and women, people lambasted Bly, yet, come one, look at today, 2017, 13 years after the book was published. Talk about bad people!
BAD PEOPLE
A man told me once that all the bad people
Were needed. Maybe not all, but your fingernails
You need; they are really claws, and we know
Claws. The sharks—what about them?
They make other fish swim faster. The hard-faced men
In black coats who chase you for hours
In dreams—that's the only way to get you
To the shore. Sometimes those hard women
Who abandon you get you to say, "You."
A lazy part of us is like a tumbleweed.
It doesn't move on its own. Sometimes it takes
A lot of Depression to get tumbleweeds moving.
Then they blow across three or four States.
This man told me that things work together.
Bad handwriting sometimes leads to new ideas;
And a careless god—who refuses to let people
Eat from the Tree of Knowledge—can lead
To books, and eventually to us. We write
Poems with lies in them, but they help a little."
― Robert Bly, Morning Poems
What is it about American Men, about this country's 70-plus approval of all soldiers, all military, all mercenaries in our armies and navies and air forces and marines? What is it about this country's women either defending Hillary as the best role model for girls, or those women who voted in the Moore-Jones election, for Moore, of course?
What is it about white women and loving Trump, those that do, and those who love Hillary? They have no inner warriors.
What is it about the white males holding the purse strings, many of them Jewish, as the Jewish web sites and newspapers and columnists continue to glower over. Reading the Israeli and the Jewish voices in print, I am seeing how an untenable Zionism and Judaism is, more concerted and extreme in xenophobia than the ultra-Christians in this country.
I end with this interesting look at father-son:
The changing times are evident in the debate about a current piece of legislation that could be the biggest change to labor law since the days when Marcus's father was working as a carpenter. The Employee Free Choice Act, which was introduced in both the House and the Senate in March, would change labor law from the 1930s in order to make it easier for unions to organize workers.
Today, as in the '30s, there are a number of influential Jewish union leaders supporting the legislation. But unlike in the '30s, a few Jewish voices have surfaced as among the most influential opponents of the legislation. Marcus is frequently mentioned among the leading voices opposing the free choice act. In a famous phone call discussing the legislation with other business executives, he said, "This is how a civilization disappears." That echoed the words of another child of poor Jewish immigrants, Sheldon Adelson, the casino magnate and Jewish philanthropist who told The Wall Street Journal that EFCA is "one of the two fundamental threats to society," along with Islamism.
Marcus also has worked closely with the lobbyist leading the anti-EFCA charge, Rick Berman, who has waded into Jewish communal waters to make his argument that the current unions have no connection with the old ones to which Berman's father belonged.
Many on both sides of the current legislation say that a traditional sympathy for labor that existed in the Jewish community has given way to antipathy in a number of very prominent quarters, with sometimes complicated consequences. Amy Dean, who is active in both the labor world and the Jewish community, says she often encounters people "who have this very warm spot for the labor movement, but it's sort of romantic and historical. They have these warm feelings for the role of the garment unions, but they think it's not a modern movement that they want to embrace. We have a huge dissonance within the Jewish community about the labor movement."
For Berman, this dissonance has appeared in his own family: His son David Berman, a founder of the rock bands Pavement and the Silver Jews, has vociferously attacked his father's stance on labor unions.
"Jews should always identify with the disadvantaged," the younger Berman (David) wrote to the Forward. "You cannot 'graduate' to a life of self-interest and exploitation."
Berman, Marcus and Adelson appear to have played a role in halting EFCA's progress through Congress. While passage looked like a sure thing earlier this year, when Barack Obama took office, the bill's prospects have dimmed as a number of key senators have announced their opposition to it. It is perhaps fitting that the senator whose opposition represented a turning point was Pennsylvania Republican-turned-Democrat Arlen Specter, the child of Jewish immigrant parents. People such as Specter and Marcus do not see the issue of EFCA in Jewish terms, but they acknowledge that they are frequently contending with history when they take up the current legislation or any other labor issues.
This meant that rabbis would often mediate labor disputes between Jewish workers and bosses, and many of the most prominent Jewish business owners at the time — names like Macy and Gimbels — worked closely with unions. Back in 1935, when the National Labor Relations Act was passed, the influential, and heavily Jewish, garment unions in New York City rallied working men and women to provide crucial popular support for the legislation. Historians note that Jews had hardly any presence in groups that opposed the legislation; they were often barred from entering the national business associations.
Since that time, of course, the Jewish community has largely followed the route of Marcus out of the tenements and into the business class. The 2001 National Jewish Population Survey found that 36% of Jewish households reported income above $75,000 — twice the percentage in the population at large.
Nowhere is the dissonance on these points more evident than in the rather personal battle being waged by Berman, the leading lobbyist against unions and EFCA in Washington.
Berman has long been a lightning rod for criticism, thanks to the work that his firm, Berman and Company, has done on behalf of such corporate interests as the tobacco and alcohol industries. Berman's recent work against unions — his firm has spent $25 million on advertisements against EFCA — has won him enemies not only within the labor movement, but also within his own rather prominent family.
In January of this year, his son David announced in an Internet post that he was leaving his latest music project, the Silver Jews. He took the opportunity to launch an attack on his lobbyist father.
"My father is a despicable man," the younger Berman wrote in the January 22 post on the message board of his record label, Drag City. The first specific charge that Berman levied against his father was that he is a "union buster." In an e-mail interview with the Forward, David Berman said that his father — and his father's generation — had become disconnected from the hardship of their grandparents. Both of Rick Berman's grandfathers worked in the New York garment industry.
"My grandparents are good people, raised by good Jews," the younger Berman wrote to the Forward, "but their children are just living lives of meaningless acquisition. Within two generations, all memory of injustice is forgotten."
What is lost in all of this sadism created by both parties, all the movers and shakers with millions stuffed in pockets, the billionaires like the following have set up empires of shame with their billions upon billions. Like Bill Gates, Michael Bloomberg ($35.5 billion), Mark Zuckerbeg ($33.4 billion), Sheldon Adelson ($31.4 billion), and Shari Arison, like Google co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page ($29.2 and $29.7 billion); investors George Soros ($24.2 billion), Carl Icahn ($23.5 billion) and Len Blavatnik ($20.2 billion), and Dell Computer Founder Michael Dell ($19.2 billion); like Larry Ellison ($54.2 billion), Russ Weiner, the founder and CEO of Rockstar energy drinks, Jerry Reinsdorf, the owner of the Chicago Bulls and the Chicago White Sox sports franchises, and Ken Grossman, a co-founder of the Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. Weiner is the son of prominent conservative radio talk show host Michael Savage (born Michael Weiner); like Seth Klarman, an investor in the Times of Israel, is also on the list, with a net worth of $1.5 billion.
Within two generations of those death camps, David Berman states, his family and tribal line have become despicable in many cases, taking advantage of power, tax dodges, military-pharmacy-finance-computing-legal-retail larceny on a very global scale.
Those sins of the father, ugh?
Sylvia Plath, 1932 – 1963
You do not do, you do not do
Any more, black shoe
In which I have lived like a foot
For thirty years, poor and white,
Barely daring to breathe or Achoo.
Daddy, I have had to kill you.
You died before I had time—
Marble-heavy, a bag full of God,
Ghastly statue with one gray toe
Big as a Frisco seal
And a head in the freakish Atlantic
Where it pours bean green over blue
In the waters off beautiful Nauset.
I used to pray to recover you.
Ach, du.
In the German tongue, in the Polish town
Scraped flat by the roller
Of wars, wars, wars.
But the name of the town is common.
My Polack friend
Says there are a dozen or two.
So I never could tell where you
Put your foot, your root,
I never could talk to you.
The tongue stuck in my jaw.
It stuck in a barb wire snare.
Ich, ich, ich, ich,
I could hardly speak.
I thought every German was you.
And the language obscene
An engine, an engine
Chuffing me off like a Jew.
A Jew to Dachau, Auschwitz, Belsen.
I began to talk like a Jew.
I think I may well be a Jew.
The snows of the Tyrol, the clear beer of Vienna
Are not very pure or true.
With my gipsy ancestress and my weird luck
And my Taroc pack and my Taroc pack
I may be a bit of a Jew.
I have always been scared of you,
With your Luftwaffe, your gobbledygoo.
And your neat mustache
And your Aryan eye, bright blue.
Panzer-man, panzer-man, O You—
Not God but a swastika
So black no sky could squeak through.
Every woman adores a Fascist,
The boot in the face, the brute
Brute heart of a brute like you.
You stand at the blackboard, daddy,
In the picture I have of you,
A cleft in your chin instead of your foot
But no less a devil for that, no not
Any less the black man who
Bit my pretty red heart in two.
I was ten when they buried you.
At twenty I tried to die
And get back, back, back to you.
I thought even the bones would do.
But they pulled me out of the sack,
And they stuck me together with glue.
And then I knew what to do.
I made a model of you,
A man in black with a Meinkampf look
And a love of the rack and the screw.
And I said I do, I do.
So daddy, I'm finally through.
The black telephone's off at the root,
The voices just can't worm through.
If I've killed one man, I've killed two—
The vampire who said he was you
And drank my blood for a year,
Seven years, if you want to know.
Daddy, you can lie back now.
There's a stake in your fat black heart
And the villagers never liked you.
They are dancing and stamping on you.
They always knew it was you.
Daddy, daddy, you bastard, I'm through.

Clients in the Bainbridge area looking for one of the highest-performance window films in the industry come to Precision Audio for Llumar CTX Ceramic Tint. This fantastic film does more than just change the way your vehicle looks; it can make your car or truck more comfortable and improve its resale value. Read on to find out why this is our choice for the best window tint film for your car or truck.
Most people think that a window film only reduces the amount of light that can enter your vehicle. While this is true, modern films are designed to reject IR and UV energy to make your vehicle both safer and more comfortable. CTX film provides more than 99% UV rejection to keep your leather and fabrics from fading and reduce your risk of accelerated skin aging and wrinkles. Total solar energy rejection for Llumar CTX Ceramic Tint films varies between 43% and 60% to ease the load on your air conditioning system and help keep your vehicle cool.
Window tint will enhance your privacy and help conceal any valuable contents in your vehicle. Even if a thief does attempt to smash a window, the strong adhesive in CTX film will hold the glass pieces together and make it much harder to get into the vehicle. In the unlikely event you are in a severe car accident, this same adhesive will help prevent injuries to you and your vehicle's occupants.
Some window films use metallic substances to block light. These films look great, but the metal layers reduce cellphone signal reception, decrease GPS navigation system accuracy and can cause satellite radio systems to drop out more often. CTX films are constructed using nano-ceramic technology that does not affect radio signal transmission. Even your keyless entry system will continue to work just as it did before.
When we tint your windows with Llumar CTX film, you can be confident that you have made a sound investment in your vehicle's style and performance.

Year 9's Hermione tells us more about the Championships in Worcester.
On Sunday 13th March Stratford-on-Avon Boat Club took part in the West Midlands Regional Championships at Worcester.
The team had been training 4 times a week, on water and on the ergos through the winter. Everyone knew how important this race was and wanted the chance to go through and compete against some of the best crews in the country.
The trial was a 'Heads Race' over 2.5k – which means the boats are set off at regular intervals so you are racing against the clock.
It was a tough race with stiff competition, but the girls pushed hard and delivered on the day, winning Gold!
The Junior Inter-Regional Regatta is on Saturday 23rd April at the National Water Sports Centre at Nottingham, where 12 teams from across England and Wales will compete.

Seat Belt Laws
by Richard Banta | May 5, 2017 | Uncategorized |
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, motor vehicle accidents are a major cause of death for both males and females from birth to 54 years of age. More than half of all fatal injuries in auto accidents are due to an unrestrained driver or passenger being ejected from the vehicle.
Seat Belt Law Exemptions
Except for New Hampshire, which requires seat belt use only by anyone under the age of 18, every state has some type of seat belt law. However, there are certain exemptions that may apply even in those states with strict mandatory seat belt use laws.
Some states allow passengers to ride in the cargo area or "bed" of a pickup truck without any type of restraint, including seat belts.
Other exemptions may apply to vehicles that are designed for "off road" use.
Vehicles that are considered "classics" where seat belts were not originally installed.
Custom vehicles that are on display at car shows.
Existing seat belt laws may be summarized as follows:
Drivers must be restrained by seat belts unless they are covered by an exemption similar to those listed in the preceding paragraph. The majority of traffic citations issued for seat belt law violations are to drivers who were not wearing a seat belt.
Every state and territory has some type of child restraint law. While there is variation from state to state in the types of restraint and the age at which a "child" becomes an "adult," infants and toddlers are usually required to be secured in child safety seats and older children must be restrained by seat belts.
Front Seat Passengers
Front seat passengers are generally subject to the same seat belt requirements as the driver. Child passengers must be restrained by child seats until they reach the state traffic law definition of an adult.
Backseat Passengers
Laws regarding the restraint of back seat passengers vary considerably between the individual states. In general, if a seat belt was installed in the back seat by an automobile's manufacturer, use of seat belts by backseat passengers should be considered mandatory.
Seat Belts and Law Enforcement
Enforcement of seat belt laws is a matter that is left to the individual states. Such enforcement can be classified as either primary orsecondary enforcement.
In primary enforcement, a police officer may stop a vehicle and issue a traffic offense ticket to the driver for the sole reason that the occupants of a vehicle are not using seat belts or are not otherwise properly restrained. It has been reported that states with primary enforcement of seat belt laws have a lower fatality/serious injury rate per passenger mile than those with less strict enforcement.
2. Secondary enforcement allows a police officer to issue a seat belt ticket only if a traffic stop is made for another legitimate reason. As an example, if an officer stops a vehicle for making an improper turn and observes an occupant who is not wearing a seatbelt the officer may issue a traffic citation. However, an officer may not stop a vehicle for the sole reason that an occupant appears to be improperly restrained.
In summary, even in those states with less strict enforcement laws or policies the mandatory use of seat belts is credited with reducing the number or fatal or serious automobile accident injuries. Although some may balk at mandatory seat belt laws as being an intrusion on the rights of the individual, the reduction in the number of accidental deaths and injuries is sufficient to override such concerns.

Recession sending more students to community colleges
College freshman Elizabeth Hebert's choice of a four-year school suddenly got too expensive. George Haseltine already has a business degree, but he concluded after several layoffs that he needed more training to get work. So, in the middle of this school year, both landed at New Hampshire Technical Institute, which — like other community colleges across the country — has suddenly grown a lot more crowded, reports the Associated Press. The two-year schools are reporting unprecedented enrollment increases this semester, driven by students from traditional colleges seeking more bang for their buck and by laid-off older workers. But community colleges aren't exactly cheering in this down economy: Tuition doesn't come close to covering costs, and the state funds used to make up the difference are drying up. Final figures aren't in for this semester, but a national group representing community colleges says the average increase from last spring to this spring is dramatic–a range of 4 percent to 19 percent. The figure is 20 percent in Maine and South Carolina. One school in Idaho has more than twice the number of students this spring over last…


As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever. These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum. Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it? When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you? What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before? It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him. And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father. From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God. Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil? He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve.
This sixth chapter of John's gospel with its seventy-one verses is the longest chapter in this marvelous book telling of the life and ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ.1 Someone has called John's gospel the most wonderful book in the world, and perhaps this is its most wonderful chapter. It would have been more helpful if we could have taken the whole chapter at once, but there is so much in it that it is impossible to do this in thirty-five or forty minutes, so we have had to break it up. But I hope that this will not result in our losing sight of the setting.
Jesus had fed the multitude, and the next day people came to Him hinting that they would like to get another meal in the same way. They said, "What sign do you show? Our fathers did eat manna in the wilderness. We heard you did this yesterday. Are you prepared to do the same thing today?" But Jesus took the occasion to show them that there was something far more important than providing food for the body. We are told, "Man [does] not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God" (Mat_4:4). This was true even of the Son of Man who came to give His life a ransom for the world. And in this chapter He expresses the mystery of His incarnation.
This has no reference to what is called the sacrament of the Lord's Supper. It had not been instituted at this time. But He referred to His sacrificial death when His blood was separated from His body and His blood shed for sinners, and men must eat His flesh and drink His blood, that is, they must appropriate the value of His atoning work in order to avail themselves of God's salvation. Eating the flesh of the Son of God and drinking His blood are figurative expressions, and they mean laying hold of these precious truths by faith and making them our own.
Eating is appropriating faith. Have you all done that? Have you received the Lord Jesus Christ in that way? Have you trusted Him for salvation? Do you recognize that His death was for you, that the shedding of His blood was that your sins might be put away? As you contemplate that cross-an empty cross now, He who hung suspended on the nails is now seated at God's right hand- and as you look from that empty cross to the throne of God can you say, "Lord Jesus, Your blood was shed for me. I believe in You as my Savior"? This is to eat His flesh and drink His blood. It is not simply a momentary thing.
It is not that just at one particular time in our lives when troubled and convicted of sin we receive Him by faith, but it is living day by day in communion with Him, appropriating all that Christ is and all that He has done. This is indeed to feed upon the living Bread. And we do that as we meditate upon the Word of God. I do not know of any other way by which we may feed upon the living Bread. Those of us who have acquainted ourselves with the Word in the times of good health find that memory will bring up the words when we are sick, and thus we feed that which we have already learned. How important then when we are able to read the Word when we are strong and well that we give ourselves to the extensive study of this Book, to meditate upon it, to build us up and nurture us, as Scripture puts it, in the words of faith and sound teaching. We need this in order to enter into and enjoy communion with our Lord.
In Joh_6:57 He says, "As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me." That is communion. The Lord Jesus Christ as a Man here in this world lived in daily communion with the Father, and it is wonderful to think that He studied His Bible just as He calls upon us to search the Scriptures. We read in Psalm 16 how the blessed Lord was speaking to the Father and He said, "My goodness extendeth not to thee; but to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight" (Psa_16:2-3). There He was, as Man on earth, looking up to the Father, not pleading His own merit, save on behalf of others, and yet living in daily communion with God.
The prophet Isaiah (chap. 50) gives a wonderful illustration of His living by faith. There He says in Isa_50:2, "Wherefore, when I came, was there no man? when I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? or have I no power to deliver? behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stinketh, because there is no water, and dieth for thirst." Who is speaking here? The eternal God, the Creator and Upholder of all things. But which person of the Godhead? Our blessed Lord Jesus Christ, God the Son, for look at the next verses (Isa_50:4-6), where He speaks as Man. In Isa_50:2-3 He speaks as God. But now we hear Him saying, "The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned" (Isa_50:4).
This is the same One who said, "I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering" (Isa_50:3). He took the place of a learner that He should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary. I like Leeser's Jewish translation here which reads, "That I should know how to comfort the weary with the Word." Think of it! The Lord Jesus here on earth studying the Bible day by day in order that He should know how to speak a word in season to weary souls for their own comfort and help.
Then He adds, "Morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned." Three times we read in Scripture of the pierced or opened ear. There is that wonderful type of the bondservant who had served out his time and was now ready to go out free. But we are told in the book of Exodus, "If the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free" (Exo_21:5), then he was to take him to the side of the door and pierce the servant's ear with an awl. Thus he became a perpetual servant. When one of his little ones would look at that ear and say, "Mother, why has father such an ugly hole in his ear?" She would say, "Oh, don't call that ugly! That tells how much he loves you and me! You see, he was a bondman and could have gone out free, but he would not leave us, so his ears were pierced with an awl." This is a picture of our blessed Lord in glory with the print of the nails still in His hands, the scars that tell of His unchanging love for His Father and His church. Yes, He is the Servant with the pierced ear.
Then again He says in Psa_40:6, "Mine ears hast thou opened," and in the New Testament that is changed to, "Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me" (Heb_10:5). It meant this-when the Lord Jesus was one with the Father before the incarnation, He never had to take orders from anyone. He did not need the servant's ear. But when He became a Man, He took the servant's place and received instructions from the Father day by day. "For I came… not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me" (Joh_6:38). And here in Isa_50:5 He says, "The Lord GOD hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back." Oh, we get so rebellious. God begins to show what He would have us do, and we become rebellious.
It was never so with Him, for He lived in daily, hourly, momentary communion with the Father and delighted in the will of God. See what it brought Him. He says, "I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting" (Isa_50:6). Think of it! The One who could say, "I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering" (Isa_50:3). Now He says, "I hid not my face from shame and spitting." So we see Him in the two natures of God and Man. And as Man here on earth He lived in communion with the Father. "And I live by the Father." So he who appropriates Him by faith day by day, even he shall live by Him. Paul expresses this when he says, "I [have been] crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live, yet not I, but Christ liveth in me" (Gal_2:20 a). That was eating Christ-that was making Christ his own and part of himself, as it were. "Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me" (Gal_2:20 b).
We become in large measure like the food we eat. Someone has said, "What we eat, we are." One who is really feeding on Christ will become like Him. Such a person will manifest His purity, goodness, tenderness, compassion, His kind interest in others. You take a professing Christian who is hard and bitter and critical of others, and you know he hasn't been feeding on Christ for a long time. That tells the story. You take a Christian who is drifting into worldliness and carelessness, who is becoming vain and haughty and self-centered-he has not been feeding on Christ. The Word says, "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus" (Php_2:5). That is the humble mind, the lowly mind. It is the mind that thinks of others, and says, "Never mind me." This is not natural to us, but it is developed in us as we feed upon our blessed Lord. And this is to be our portion forever. So He continues, "This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever" (Joh_6:58).
But when the people heard this, it troubled them. Many had gone with Him that far and had recognized in Him a wonderful prophet. They were asking themselves, "Is not this the Messiah?" They were listening to His teachings and following Him, but when He spoke of eating His flesh and drinking His blood, when He opened up this wonderful truth of His atonement, it began to trouble them. They were looking for a great world ruler who would deliver them from the Romans and make them the first nation in the world. They were not prepared for what He talked of-dying, giving His life for the world.
Jesus knew what they were saying and said, "Doth this offend you? Does this cause you to stumble because I have told you that I have come down from heaven and become Man? Because I tell you that I am going to die that man might be saved. Does this make you stumble? I will tell you something more-some day I am going to ascend, as Man, into heaven." You see, when men resist the truth the Lord Jesus makes it harder for them, but when they will receive the truth, then He makes it very simple.
So, now, He makes it far more difficult than before: "What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?" (Joh_6:62). "Oh," they would say, "we can't believe that, that Jesus, as Man, should ascend up into heaven." Yet that is just what took place in God's due time. God raised Him from the dead, and He was taken up. Four times in the first chapter of the book of Acts we get that phrase. And He sits now at the right hand of God. Some people believe that a great change took place in Christ's body as He was taken up after His death. They think of Him as some strange mysterious spirit without a material human body, but you remember He Himself said, "Handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have" (Luk_24:39). There was a physical form. He had poured out His blood for our redemption, but He is there in heaven in a body-in the same body that hung upon the cross. He is the Man Christ Jesus at God's right hand today. When we see Him we shall look up into the face of a Man, we shall grasp the hand of a Man, but we shall recognize a nail print in that hand. He will bear it through eternity.
"What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?" Could you believe that? But, He says, "It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh proflteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life" (Joh_6:63). It is only as we receive His words in faith that we can lay hold of eternal truth. The flesh, unless moved upon by divine grace, will not understand. His words are foolishness unto the natural man, because they are supernaturally discerned. But these words are spirit and truth. When you open your heart to receive them, a new life is created, and you are able to take them in.
"But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not." He knew what was going on in the hearts of men. He knew whenever anyone made a profession that wasn't real. He knows today. The Son of God knows whether you are genuine or not. Your friends may not know. Those you are close to may not know, but He knows whether you have really put your trust in Him, the Bread of God that comes down from heaven. Let us seek to be real before Him. Let us not rely on mere profession, it will not avail in that day. There must be reality. "And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father" (Joh_6:65). And does that then shut anybody out? Does it make it impossible for some men to come? Does it mean then that there are some that God has decreed may come and some that may not? No. "Him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out" (Joh_6:37). All may come if they will, but apart from the drawing of the Father none would come.
Well, this seemed like "strong meat" for many, and we read, "From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him" (Joh_6:66). They had kept company with Him up to that time. They hoped from day to day that He would put Himself at the head of the Jews, that He would lead them on to glorious victories, but now their hopes were dashed. They didn't understand His words about dying and ascending to heaven. This is not the Messiah that they were looking for. Then Jesus turned to the Twelve whom He had officially selected and asked, "Will ye also go away?" (Joh_6:67). They had seen Him in prayer. They had listened to His teaching and apparently had received His Word in their hearts. They knew His power. Alas, even of them there was one who had a devil.
"Will ye also go away?" or, "Do you desire to go away also? Are you ready to leave Me? Have I told you more than you are ready to receive? Do you want to go away?" And then Peter speaks up-and we think of him as being so rash and speaking up out of place, and yet so many times he speaks up in such earnestness and faith that our hearts rejoice. How ready he was to speak out in Caesarea Philippi. And then he answered and said, "Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life" (Joh_6:68). As much as to say, "There is no one that we can go to. We can't turn to the sages of old or to the scribes. They cannot give us what You have given. "Thou hast the words of eternal life." Oh, hear it, dear friends! No one but Jesus can give us the knowledge of God. As you trust Him, as you receive Him and feed upon this living Bread, you shall have life eternal.
But now Jesus looks compassionately upon the Twelve, knows of the Eleven that are genuine, and knows of the one that is not real. And He says, "Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil [or, is sold out to Satan]?" (Joh_6:70). What privileges and opportunities they had, and yet one of them had never opened his heart to the truth. What a terrible thing! Dear friends, I wonder if there is anyone like that here today. You profess to be a Christian, and yet all through the years Jesus has never been to you a Savior from sin. You have never definitely united your soul to Him. You have never bowed before God as a repentant sinner. Oh, I beg of you, before your doom is sealed, and you have to share the fate of Judas, I beg of you, come to His feet, confessing your sin and guilt. Judas never came. Judas never received the Word. So at last he went to his own place in everlasting darkness.
"He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve" (Joh_6:71). Judas was one of those who kept company with Him so intimately through the years, but he will be separated from Him for eternity. Oh, God, give us to be geuine, to feed upon the living Bread that comes down from heaven.

9/11 Memorial Visit Brings Back Memories for Lower Manhattan Residents
By Ben Fractenberg |&nbspSeptember 1, 2011 6:34am
@fractenberg
GROUND ZERO — The first thing Michael Ketring did after a plane hit on 9/11 10 years ago was sprint out of One World Financial Center to his six-year-old daughter's elementary school on Chambers Street.
"When the second plane hit, everyone just ran into the school and grabbed their children," said Ketring, 56, who works as general counsel for the Downtown Alliance and is part of Community Board 1.
Now 10 years later, he took a tour of the 9/11 Memorial Wednesday, stepping inside the Ground Zero site for the first time since the attack.
"It's odd to be here," said Ketring, staring into the rectangular pit where the north tower once stood.
"But, at the same time, it's kind of comforting to see the memorial coming together."
Michael Ketring, 56, visits the 9/11 Memorial for the first time since working at Ground Zero during the attack.

Ketring and his daughter walked northward away from the chaos, away from their Pearl Street home.
His wife was uptown, frantically trying to get in touch with him while cell phone service was down. She had no idea if her husband or daughter were still alive.
"She was tormented all day," Ketring said.
Finally, a stranger let Ketring use her landline and he was able to get in touch with his wife.
Along with him Wednesday were other Community Board members and New York State Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver.
"We have emerged strong, more resilient, more unified than ever," said Silver. "The recovery is not just about building, it's about the people downtown."
The memorial is set to open this September 11th.
Water will rush down into the footprints of the fallen towers.
People will sit on the grass beneath the rising One World Trade Center and listen to the waterfall, drowning out the noise of construction going on around them.

Enjoy an intimate ocean experience on any one of these cool Maui kayak tours.
One of the best ways to get really close to the island's marine wildlife is by enjoying one of our Maui kayak tours. You are led by a knowledgeable, patient, and personable guide as you paddle along quietly through one of three spectacular coastal sites. You'll glide above dazzling coral reefs, slip off the side outfitted with snorkel gear, and take time to explore the calm waters—vibrant with life. We have three Maui kayak tours to choose from: one shows you the life on the South side, and two of them bring you into West Maui waters!
Makena and Turtle Town on the south side of the island are wonderful ocean areas to visit by kayak. The Hawaiian green sea turtle, an endangered species, is frequently encountered there. They'll glide by, taking time to breathe, as you do the same. It is amazing to simply float there and watch the turtles swim. Let the water buoy you up as the multi-colored fish of the coral reefs flip their fins and zoom past you.
Honolua Bay is home to all kinds of marine species, including manta rays. If you are very lucky, you may have a chance to see one as it moves with power and grace, flying its way through the Pacific. Once in the water at Honolua, you are sure to see peacock groupers, yellow tang, milletseed butterflyfish, and the sand-creating parrotfish (they chomp off bits of coral and don't digest it all). These animals are brilliantly colored and naturally long living; some reef fish can live until they are at least seventy years old! You will love these moments exploring their home on the West side of Maui.
If you want to see something amazing a bit further down the West coast, choose to explore Olowalu with our Maui kayak tours. Experience incomparable views of the West Maui (Kahalawai) Mountains from the ocean, and let the water hold you for your own personal, magical tour of this unique coral habitat. At times, manta rays can be seen as they cruise this region. The Olowalu reef system is fantastic, expansive, and full of life, and you're bound to fall in love with it.

A Moscow court has imposed a two-year prison sentence on the leader of a hacker group that some reports have suggested was connected with the arrest of two top officials of Russia's national security service.

Vladimir Anikeyev was sentenced Thursday on a conviction of hacking the accounts of several prominent Russians, including the spokeswoman for Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev.
The trial was conducted behind closed doors. Details of the proceedings were unclear.
Anikeyev headed a hacker group called Shaltai-Boltai (Humpty-Dumpty). He was arrested last November, but the arrest became known only after Russian news media reported that two officials of the Federal Security Service's cybercrime unit had been arrested on treason charges.
Some news reports suggested the officials had connections to the hacker group or had tried to control it.

Kaufman, Hall & Associates, LLC (Kaufman Hall), a leading healthcare and higher education management consulting and advisory services firm, has entered into a definitive agreement for Claro Healthcare, a premier healthcare consulting firm, to join Kaufman Hall.
For more than 30 years, Kaufman Hall has provided leading hospitals and health systems with world-class management consulting on strategic financial planning, treasury and capital markets, mergers and acquisitions, and performance improvement. Claro Healthcare is the leading clinical documentation, hospital operations, and mid-revenue cycle improvement platform, blending technology, professional services, and domain expertise to deliver significant return on investment to providers across financial, quality, and compliance metrics.
R. Wesley Champion, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Kaufman Hall, noted that the combination will support Kaufman Hall's efforts to help healthcare organizations pursue financial, operational, and quality improvement.
"Healthcare providers are under growing pressure to achieve and demonstrate excellence in all facets of operations, including revenue management and quality outcomes—in the face of rising expenses, declining margins, and changing payment models," Champion said. "Together, the complementary services and cultures of Kaufman Hall and Claro Healthcare will position us to jointly deliver a whole new level of integrated improvement services to healthcare providers, who are more challenged than ever to achieve the financial, operational, and quality performance necessary to carry out their missions of community health."
Venanzio Arquilla, Chairman and Managing Director, Claro Healthcare, said the arrangement will allow both companies to draw on their complementary expertise and experience to better serve their clients.
"We are excited about the opportunity to collaborate with Kaufman Hall, especially given its strong reputation and sought-after service offerings," Arquilla said. "Kaufman Hall possesses a deep foundation in helping organizations benchmark performance against their peers. This arrangement will be a strong cultural fit for both of our organizations, given our shared technical and collaborative approach to consulting—and our likeminded commitment to always finding the best solutions for our clients."
Jason Shideler, Managing Director on the Health Care team of Madison Dearborn Partners—Kaufman Hall's majority investor—cited the combination's potential to provide healthcare organizations with unmatched integrated operational improvement services.
"Claro Healthcare is well-regarded as the industry leader in Clinical Documentation Improvement," Shideler said. "This combination provides Kaufman Hall with significant expertise in revenue cycle and greater scale to its current performance improvement practice, which is a key area of focus given the broader economic environment for hospitals and health systems."
Claro Healthcare will retain its brand and be referred to as "Claro Healthcare, a Kaufman Hall company." The deal is expected to close in mid to late October.
TripleTree is Claro Healthcare's exclusive financial advisor in connection with the transaction. McDermott Will & Emery LLP is legal counsel to Claro Healthcare. Kirkland & Ellis LLP is legal counsel to Kaufman Hall.
