The writing is on the wall for this to be Drew VerHagen's last start in a Tigers uniform. The 28-year-old righthander has struggled in previous chances — he has given up 11 runs on 16 hits in 8 2⁄3 innings in two starts this year, and has a career 9.35 ERA as a starter — and he has already been designated for assignment once this year. With several prospects coming up the pipeline, including the near-ready Kyle Funkhouser and Beau Burrows, VerHagen's days in Detroit were always numbered.
This is especially true when considering the way the Tigers have set their rotation following Spencer Turnbull's return from injury. They could have called up a starter for Tuesday's doubleheader, and have not been shy about throwing Ryan Carpenter into such situations this season. Instead, they opted to use VerHagen on Tuesday, even when needing a starter to fill Jordan Zimmermann's spot in the rotation on Friday.
(They may still yet use Carpenter on Friday, but Kyle Funkhouser will be on full rest at that point. You know, just to get your hopes up.)
It's difficult to say whether this will be VerHagen's final appearance as a Tiger, or even his final start. He will be able to opt for free agency if designated for assignment again, but has shown flashes of being a competent reliever through his six big league seasons. Even as recently as last year, VerHagen looked like someone who could be a competent piece out of the 'pen. The Tigers have also brought him and others (Carpenter once again gets a mention here) back multiple times even when their performance doesn't warrant many more looks.
Chicago White Sox (49-61) at Detroit Tigers (32-76)
Time/Place: 1:10 p.m., 7:10 p.m., Comerica Park
SB Nation site: South Side Sox
Media: Fox Sports Detroit, ESPN+, fuboTV, MLB.TV, Tigers Radio Network
Game 1 Pitching Matchup: RHP Dylan Cease (1-4, 6.43 ERA) vs. LHP Daniel Norris (3-8, 4.67 ERA)
Cease 28.0 21.8 11.3 5.21 0.2
Norris 111.2 19.9 6.1 4.44 1.7
Dylan Cease hasn't been all that impressive through his first five major league starts. He has allowed at least three runs in all five outings, and has surrendered four earned runs or more in each of his past four starts. The White Sox have only won one of those games, a 7-5 win over the Tigers in Cease's big league debut, naturally. They haven't given him much help, though, with just four total runs scored across his last four outings.
It's far too early to write Cease off, of course. The 23-year-old has worked just 28 big league innings so far, and has struck out 27 hitters along the way. His command is still spotty — something that plagued him in the minors too — but he still has all the natural talent in the world. This includes a double-plus fastball that has averaged 96 miles per hour and reached triple digits at the major league level. His changeup has been the swing-and-miss pitch so far, but the slider and curveball have drawn better reviews from scouts.
As a result, Cease is a bad matchup for the Tigers offense (yes, even worse than most). He fanned six Tigers in five innings back in July, and generated 13 swinging strikes on 101 pitches. The Tigers have been baseball's worst offense against right-handed pitching, and have the third-lowest walk rate. Even though they took four walks against Cease last time out, the overall numbers don't bode well against the hard-throwing righty.
Game 2 Pitching Matchup: LHP Hector Santiago (1-0, 6.75 ERA) vs. RHP Drew VerHagen (1-2, 11.66 ERA)
Santiago 8.0 15.8 13.2 5.21 0.0
VerHagen 14.2 15.5 17.9 7.37 -0.3
Yes, Hector Santiago is still pitching. After throwing 102 innings for the White Sox last year (nope, don't remember that at all), Santiago has spent most of 2019 at the Triple-A level. He signed with the New York Mets in January, and spent a month with their Triple-A affiliate before being called up to throw eight innings out of the Mets' bullpen in May and June. This includes two appearances against the Tigers back (nope, don't remember those either), both of which were scoreless. Santiago gave up runs in five of his next six outings, however, and was released.
The White Sox picked up their old friend in June and stuck him in their Triple-A rotation, where things have not gone too well. Santiago has allowed a 5.84 ERA in 37 innings, surrendering a .358 on-base percentage and .938 OPS along the way. His strikeout and walk numbers are strong, but he, like others, has struggled with the baseball; Santiago allowed nine home runs in those seven starts, a rate of 2.19 per nine innings.
In terms of raw stuff, Santiago's fastball is down to 91-92 miles per hour. He still uses a changeup as his main secondary offering, and mixes in the occasional slider and curveball. His screwball is no more, unfortunately — he hasn't really thrown one in several years now, per Brooks Baseball — though with a career usage rate of just 1.51 percent, it was never much of a thing at any point.
Key matchup: The Tigers vs. scoring runs
Do that, Tigers.
The Tigers split the doubleheader and snap their losing streak.

Tambov, the centre of Tambovskaya oblast, is situated in the central part of the Tambov plain on the left bank of the river Tsna (the Volga basin) where the river Studenets flows into it. The distance to Moscow is 480 km southeast. It is a junction of railway lines (to Michurinsk, Rtishevo - Saratov, Balashov - Kamyshin) and highways. The climate is moderately continental. The average temperature of January is -11 degreed, of July +20 degrees centigrade. Precipitations make about 500 mm a year. Tambov has its own airport. The population is 310,6 thousand people.
In 1636 (the foundation year of Tambov) the voevode Roman Boborykin received the order to erect a fortress on the river Tsna opposite the mouth of the river Tambov. However, this place appeared to be inconvenient and the city was built 20 miles down the river Tsna. The name of the river of the Mordovian and ancient Finnish origin.
In 1647 the system of complex fortifications (the Tambov wall) was built. In the middle of the 18th century Tambov loses its military value and develops as a centre of agrarian district. Since 1719 Tambov is the centre of the Tambov province, since 1780 - Tambov is the centre of Tambov region ruled by governor-general. In 1796 it became the centre of the Tambov province. In the 18th century Tambov was the large cultural centre.
In 1870 the Ryazan-Ural railroad was laid through Tambov. The city became the large centre of grain trade; there appeared enterprises for processing of agricultural production, and also small metal working plants.
In 1960s the intensive industrial development of Tambov began.
Today Tambov is the industrial centre with the developed chemical machine-building ("Tambovpolymermash', "Tambovapparat", "Galvanotechnica", etc.); electrotechnical machine-building (plants "Revtrud" and "Elektropribor") producing accessories and spare parts to automobiles and tractors, press-forging equipment ("Tambovmash"), etc. There are enterprises of the chemical industry: "Pigment" Production Association (manufacture of aniline dyes), the asbestine, mechanical rubber goods and chemical plants. Besides there are enterprises of the light (sewing, shoe), food-processing industries and manuf acture of building materials in Tambov.
Culture, science, education.
One can see the Scientific and Research Institute of Chemicals for Polymeric Materials, Scientific and Research Institute of Organic Semiproducts and Dyes, Scientific and Research Institute of general mechanical rubber engineering, Institute of chemical machine-building, of pedagogics and culture. The Drama, Puppet theatre and the Philharmonic society are also can be found here. There is a number of museums. For example, the Museum of local lore, the Picture gallery (Russian and West-European painting), the Museum - Manor of the Chicherins.
Architecture, sights.
A lot of sights are there in Tambov. They are the Pokrovskaya Church (1763-69), the Kazan Church (1791), the former Archiereysky house (1791), the Summer Church (1818), the Spaso-Preobrazhensky Cathedral (laid in 1694), the main post office (1786), the former Theological Seminary (1785-1805), grammar schools (1825), the Public library (1842) and others.

Why This Is The Best Calendar Watch Of 2016 (According To The GPHG) And One Of The Best Watches Ever! The MB&F Legacy Machine Perpetual (Archive)
by Ian Skellern
When it comes to watches – as with so much else in my life – I'm conflicted.
I am attracted to horology for its rich history and (unfortunately ever-declining) use of traditional skills and crafts.
There's something appealing to me about the fact that there is little difference between the mechanics of a modern wristwatch and the pocket watches Abraham-Louis Breguet and his contemporaries were making 200 years ago.
In fact, just as many of the best watchmakers today learnt their craft by repairing and restoring watches and clocks that are hundreds of years old, by the same token I think that the best watchmakers from centuries ago would have little problem repairing and restoring most of today's watches and clocks . . . at least those that are silicon-free.
Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.
But I also think that it is both lazy and detrimental in the long term for today's brands to be so complacent when it comes to simply repeating what was done (read "invented") in the past, instead just touting new case materials, metal alloys, or even colors as "innovations."
Evolution and revolution
I'm all for evolution, especially continual evolution in watchmaking. And that's certainly worked well for Rolex. However, from time to time we need revolution as well as evolution, and the former is severely lacking.
We often see brands harping on about some "revolutionary" new improvement or technology, but most tend to be more effective as "improved marketing messages" than leading to truly better chronometric or functional performance.
MB&F Legacy Machine Perpetual in platinum
And for all of the brand's claims of being a disruptive force in the staid world of watchmaking, MB&F hasn't really rocked the boat very much at all when it comes to "real" watchmaking.
Watch design, yes, but MB&F's watchmaking has tended to serve the requirements of its wild case architecture rather than contributing anything new to traditional watchmaking. And, to be fair, the brand has never claimed to offer anything more than (very) contemporary design based on traditional watchmaking.
MB&F's Horological and Legacy Machines have been visually sensational with interesting movement architecture, but the brand has been more like an enthusiastic yoga teacher, seeing how far and in how many positions traditional watchmaking can be cajoled rather than adding anything horologically substantial to the field.
MB&F creates better-looking mousetraps, but doesn't really invent better mousetraps (and, in general, neither does anyone else).
Until . . .
Inventing a better mousetrap
With Legacy Machine Perpetual MB&F, in collaboration with Irish watchmaker Stephen McDonnell, has not simply reinterpreted the perpetual calendar complication, one of the most time-honored (and complicated) of traditional complications. It has reinvented it to offer trouble-free use and fantastic aesthetics.
McDonnell is an Irish watchmaker/movement designer that has been a Friend of MB&F since the beginning when he was instrumental in finalizing the development and construction of Horological Machine No. 1.
MB&F Legacy Machine Perpetual in red gold
While LM Perpetual looks to all intents and purposes like one of the least radical timepieces created in the brand's ten-year history, make no mistake: it is revolution not evolution.
Whereas in previous MB&F Machines (and most watches in general), the movements are developed to serve the requirements of the designs, for Legacy Machine Perpetual it was the movement itself that dictated the design.

The problem with perpetual calendars
The main problem with the vast majority of perpetual calendar watches is that the mechanisms are so easily damaged. And with such a complex complication, the slightest problem usually requires a long and expensive trip back to Switzerland for repair.
In the watch world, perpetual calendars are with good reason often referred to as "boomerang" watches because they keep coming back to brands again and again for service or repair.
Problems with perpetual calendars generally occur when the time or calendar indications are adjusted (or attempted to be adjusted) while the mechanism is in the process of changing display, which is usually a few hours around midnight.
This is because traditional perpetual calendars, which keep track of how many days there are in each month, including the 29th day in February in (most) leap years, work from a default month length of 31 days and simply fast forward through the surplus days in shorter months (around midnight on the last day).
So in a month with 30 days, at changeover the mechanism will briefly show "31" as it moves toward the first of the next month. In February, it will pass from 28 to 29 to 30 to 31 before arriving at March 1. And any manipulation of the time or date during that changeover can have serious and expensive consequences.
What McDonnell came up with was a system that takes a default month length of 28 days, which adds days as required. So each and every month will have its exact number of days. At the end of the month, it will immediately change to the first of the next without passing through obsolete dates.
To ensure sure that nothing can go wrong even in the short period of time in which the mechanism is changing, McDonnell incorporated a fail-safe system that deactivates the date correctors whenever there is a risk of damage so that the user cannot mistakenly damage the movement.
To control the complexity of tracking and displaying the exact number of days in each month and leap years in the Legacy Machine Perpetuel, McDonnell invented a "mechanical processor" to replace the grand levier (big lever) mechanism that is at the heart of traditional perpetual calendar mechanisms.
A close look at Legacy Machine Perpetual's complication, which is located above the blue (platinum model) main plate of the movement
Complication on full display
And getting rid of the grand levier, which occupies a significant amount of space around the center of the perpetual calendar complication, offers two more advantages over the traditional perpetual calendar:
1. It allows a quick adjustment of the years independently of the months, unlike traditional perpetual calendars where the user must change the years in the four-year leap year cycle by setting through up to 47 months.
2. It allows dispensing with a full dial. With the traditional perpetual calendar system, any supports for a dial or subdials within the perimeter of the complication would block the movement of the grand levier, so stand-alone subdials were not an option with traditional perpetual calendars.
Oscillating on high above the dial is the atypical suspended balance that, together with the round case, defines the MB&F Legacy Machine collection. But because the perpetual calendar complication fills all of the space on the dial side, the escapement that the balance wheel regulates is on the back of the movement, adding animation to the view through the display back.
The escapement (indicated) is visible through the display back of the MB&F Legacy Machine Perpetual
The whole perpetual calendar complication is then visible on top of the movement mainplate, covered only by the absolutely minimalist subdial rings for the calendar indications. Those subdial rings appear to float above the movement underneath thanks to cleverly designed, concealed supports.
World's longest balance staff
The very first thing that McDonnell and the MB&F team had to verify before any work started on developing the complication and movement itself was that what is quite possibly the world's longest balance staff − which connects the balance wheel above the dial to the escapement under the movement − was a horologically sensible and reliable option. Luckily, it proved to work just fine.
The movement of MB&F's Legacy Machine Perpetual is as beautifully hand-finished as we have come to expect from the brand
It should be pointed out, if not stressed, that Legacy Machine Perpetuel features a fully integrated movement. Unlike the vast majority of perpetual calendars, which are modules fitted to existing movements, the movement of LM Perpetuel was developed from the ground up just for this specific model.
To put that in context: the development of even a relatively simple movement by a large, deep-pocketed brand is a big deal.
A very big deal.
A small brand developing its own movement (even a simple movement) is a major undertaking requiring scarce resources, time, people, and money.
For a niche brand − especially one as small as MB&F − developing a complication such as a perpetual calendar is virtually unheard of. Especially when we are not just talking about a perpetual calendar module, but a completely integrated movement.
And then add to the mix that MB&F has not "simply" developed its own variation on the traditional perpetual calendar, but one with a completely new type of mechanism: one never done before and one with no guarantee that the initial dream would evolve into a beautiful, fully functioning watch, and you may get some idea of the magnitude of the project.
But the gamble paid off.
Dial side it's different
While LM Perpetual shares most of the design codes with previous Legacy Machines, including a round case, a high domed crystal, and that prominent suspended balance, it differs in that busy complication-filled dial.
On the dial side, Legacy Machines to date have been the exact opposite of LM Perpetual in that there was absolutely nothing − except the regulator − displayed above the movement's mainplate (which looks similar to a full dial), except the absolute minimum necessary for the indications.
Dial side, Legacy Machines were known for their "empty space."
Anticlockwise from top left: LM1, LM2, LM Perpetual and LM101
Now here comes Legacy Machine Perpetual with not just a couple of animated mechanisms above the mainplate, but a complete complication.
This radical − and such a change dial side is radical − approach would not normally work because . . . you may remember that I began this article saying that I was "conflicted" in many ways. Well, I don't think I'm alone in liking MB&F because it is so different, but I am quickly upset if it actually does something differently.
The reason that I think that Legacy Machine Perpetual gets away with a 180-degree change in dial direction is that it is such a beautiful and seriously groundbreaking complication. What a shame it would be to hide it under a dial.
Especially as legibility, which is a problem for many too-busy perpetual calendar displays, is quite good thanks to those high-contrast blued hands over the white subdial rings.
My guess is that there are likely to be future versions of Legacy Machine Perpetual with full dials, and I have no doubt that they will look resplendent.
But personally I like Legacy Machine Perpetual just the way it is.
The reward for MB&F with Legacy Machine Perpetual is not just that it has one more great watch to add to the brand's already extensive portfolio, nor that the experience is likely to lead to future horological revolutions, but that MB&F now joins the ranks of the few elite brands with both the creativity and capability to offer something truly new in horology.
MB&F used to describe itself as being based on tradition, but not constrained by tradition. Legacy Machine Perpetual is proof positive that that statement now applies to the watchmaking as much as the watch design.
MB&F Legacy Machine Perpetual on the wrist
Legacy Machine Perpetual is one of those rare timepieces that makes all that came before it look obsolete.

"Hey Bobo, this one you're excited like this share the news nau." My colleague turned to me.
"Maxine and I are going to the AMVCA tomorrow." I told her.
A customer walked in just then.
"I'm just looking around," he said doing just that.
I walked to him, standing a few paces away.
I was still walking on clouds, my smile wide. My mind was on my exchange with Osime and my date with Max.
"Do you like what you do?" He turned to me and asked.
I was thrown. I took a moment to process what his question might mean, my smile masking the cogs spinning in my head.
"I actually do sir." If he was a mystery shopper – someone from the office or sent by the office to check on us – I wouldn't let him leave thinking otherwise.
He nodded, as if checking off a box in his mind.
That sounded rehearsed. But then it kind of was. Thank you Hollywood.
"… but the second time you were patient with me when I tried to give you a hard time. That was about a month ago. I didn't renew my data plan in order to roll over my unused data. I was out of the country at the time and, while one part of me understood there was nothing you could do about it, I took my frustration out on you. You just stood there and smiled, apologised and then activated another plan." He stopped in front of some Samsung phones, and I was preparing to turn it down when he reached in his coat pocket and pulled out a business card.
The disappointment hit my stomach with a thud that surprised me.
"Yes sir," I picked the card from between his index and middle fingers.
He turned and walked back into the departure hall of the airport.
I read the name on the card. Ikem Nsirim.
No, not today! What is this life sef? You cannot just sleep and wake up, no, your body must show you who is boss.
These thoughts and more ran through my mind as I lay in bed on Saturday morning.
When I felt that funny sensation in the part of my nose/mouth connect I can only refer to as the back of my nose, I decided to self medicate to forestall the cold it promised to bring.
The tablet of Actifed I swallowed with tepid water swam down my throat and knocked me out.
Even as the shutters in my brain and behind my eyes wound down, I let myself smile because I had gotten a jump on things, so I was good. I would wake up the next day and it would be a memory.
The first sign was the small irritation I felt that morning when I swallowed. I hacked to clear my throat, and that was when the coughing started.
I rolled out of bed and padded to the kitchen in search of water. It turned out I used the last satchet of not-cold water the night before. I turned to the fridge.
Heading back to the room I caught a glimpse of the navy blue Tuxedo from Sly's wedding where I set it out for my date with Max.
I dialled her number and she picked on the first ring.
She wanted to come over and play nurse, but I wouldn't let her. She could easily pick catch whatever I had. Besides, I couldn't let her miss the AMVCA.
I'll find someone on twitter to give them to.
No jor. I'll be fine, I promise. You know what? If I still feel this poorly tomorrow I'll let you bring a bowl of peppersoup and then you can nurse me back to full strength.
I spent that day at home sipping cough medicine and chewing Strepsil.
By the next morning I wasn't feeling so bad, and when Max came by that afternoon with a small cooler of chicken peppersoup, my voice was beginning to return. My throat was still scratchy when I talked, and if I talked for long I started to cough.
By midday on Monday I called Mr. Nsirim and as soon as I said my name he asked how I would like to work for him. He had a lounge he was just setting up and needed a manager.
"See you then." He hung up before I could say anything else.
I called Max and told her.
The office was around the international airport so I didn't have to miss work. I took an early break, hoping the interview would be short and I'd be back before the midday rush of customers.
I got there with five minutes to spare. The receptionist was expecting me.
"The MD will see you shortly," she said after a brief exchange with someone over the phone.
I sat in the waiting area And counted down the clock.
She led me through a door to her right, down a short corridor and paused to knock on a door marked 'Conference Room'.
I walked onto plush carpeting that swallowed the sound of my footsteps. There was an oval table in the middle of the room with four people sitting on the one side facing me. Mr. Nsirim was in the middle with two other men flanking him. To his extreme left was the only lady in the room. She had locs that were intricately woven atop her head to resemble a mohawk. She also had on round glasses.
I hesitated, my heart caught in my chest. Recent pain mixing with trepidation, making breathing difficult.
"Please have a seat," Mr. Nsirim waved me to one of two seats facing them. He introduced the people in the room and I smiled and nodded at them without hearing their names.
For a second I thought the lady in the room was Cynthia, but she wasn't.
According to Mr. Nsirim, it was not an interview, just an informal chat and an opportunity for the other managers to meet me.
I smiled a lot and answered questions on various subjects.
The interview lasted a little over thirty minutes.
Back at the office my phone rang.
"I'm sorry, I don't quite follow." I was perplexed.
"'Can you help me win a bet' were your first words to me." She hung up.
Sandra you have no idea just how potentially bad this is.
I've been OK, thanks for asking. Missed you last week though, welcome back.
Chei!! This is super bad!
Omo…na bad thing be dis o.
Bobo got me checking in and out of the blog waiting for your post na wa o.
How did you not recognize her.. The cold or the Maxine?.. Chai! ….. mess up…… KARMA na goat.
I'm sorry Chisom. I was unwell, and not a lot happened so no gist to write.
See, you'll get an idea why not in a few days.
Haha this does not sound good. I can't keep up with your women biko. What was the deal with Cynthia again?
Cynthia and I were friends with benefits, but I got stupid and caught feelings… She set me straight sha.
I love the way you write these stories. You've got me sitting here waiting for the next post.


Hey VivaBellas, are you daydreaming on your desk or your bed? Or maybe taking time to plan ahead for 2011? Well, if you are, let's do a quick check: do you have any of your hands rested on your chin, on one side of your face or maybe both sides while doing so? Or maybe you're so comfortable that you're about to fall asleep on one of your hands even?
Well, if you've got this habit of resting your face on your hands or should I say propping your face with your hands, then one advice I have for you moving on to 2011 is, kick this habit in the new year. Why? Well, whatever you're doing is causing that part of your face to be inevitably pressed and in the long run, may affect the face shape or worst, cause wrinkles to form or lines to deepen.
And I said MAY only because I'm speaking from my own experience. Like the first top left picture, I had this habit of resting my left hand on my left cheek while thinking in the past and guess what. I noticed that I have some fine lines near the nasolabial groove on that side of the face. There could be other factors contributing to those lines but I'm pretty sure my hand had a part in it.
So tell me, do you have this habit?
Share: do you wash your hands for skin's sake? How to care for your hands as if they're your face UV protection for our hands & arms Share: can you use your eye cream on your face?
On your water bottle? Haha…sounds like what my boy does. And that's when he's really bored.
Yup, true too. Spots and blemishes added to the list.
Forget lines – sorry about yours, though. I'll get a blemish if I blink wrong, much less lay a hand or FINGER on my face!
Ah? You mean the blemishes are breaking out for no good reason?
I've eliminated a lot of possible blemish-instigators: tartar-fighting toothpaste, dairy, changed my makeup remover, experimented with stopping vitamins B6 & B12 (no difference). Changed my foundation, moisturizers and cleanser – many times – scrubs and masks, the entire routine. And I continue to break out. Do I have stress in my life? – sure, all the big & little things any wife, daughter & mother would have! I do have small pores that are easily clogged. And the humidity here plays a role, too. sigh.
Could be hormonal…have you tried taking probiotics? I find that helped me tremendously when I was in a situation like yours.
Yes i notice i have this habit too! i think not only will the shape be affected, seems like pimple might pop up too! Will try to kick this bad habit in 2011!
Also, it could be because you tend to sleep more on that side, no? Same theory like your post on face flatter on one side due to sleep position.
Yes, you're right that sleep position can contribute. I've stopped sleeping on my sides although in the past, I did. So it could be a combination of factors.
Second what Fernleafify says… sigh. Your sleeping post made me realise why I always had a more "sculpted" right cheekbone than the left. Because I ALWAYS sleep on my left, so it looks flatter (i.e. the hollow to contour the cheekbones is more prominent on the left side).
So hands off! Bacteria on hands a big no-no too.
Maybe you can massage your face back. Try the Tanaka face massage.
I know that it is an extremely horrible habit and I was gonna do a post on it….but did not know about blemishes part….knew that it can cause lines n sagging of the skin asymmetrically though…and yeah breakouts due to oil and dirt transfer from the fingers….
I guess it depends how you're touching your face too. I know my hands did not cause blemishes even though I cup my cheeks or rest my face on them.
It's not a good habit. It causes not just skin problems, but can cause teeth enamel damage. I had to stop resting my head on my hand/knee (I have weird sitting positions) because whenever I rested my chin, the lower jaw would harshly touch the upper jaw and would grind my teeth. It's not something you might notice quickly, but it's still a concern. Especially if you have weak enamel.
I have weak enamel, and had this bad habit for a very very long time. The result is that although I'm finishing my last year of teens, I already have teeth that are similar to that of a 40-50 year old due to wear.
Oh teeth enamel damage? Geez…never realized that! Thank you for sharing this…I don't think many of us thought of the link.
It might not even be an issue to people with a stronger enamel. But it still gives a bit of additional wear.
I do this often when seated down waiting for my bus to arrive or when i'm catching up on sleep in the bus/train. I really should put a stop to propping my face as well as sleeping in the bus/train.
Yes, make this your 2011 beauty goal!
Resting on office desk when no one is looking is also a bad habit from 2 perspectives.
Thank you, sesame, for the tip on probiotics. I'll start by looking at your posts on this.
I'm now taking an all-in-one supplement that has probiotics so I can do away with this. But if you are looking for one suitable one to take, this might work for you if it's available at where you live. I found probiotics to be my savior for my acne issue.
Haha…I now learn to keep my hands under my chin so that'll help to keep them on my face.
I do this from time to time, but since I have extremely sweaty palms, I notice almost immediately. I normally just shift my hand to a limp wrist and support my face from underneath the jaw. I can't imagine what wrinkles that would cause or the fact that the support would be unwelcome in that area. It's slightly uncomfortable, though. Alas!
Under the jaw should be fine…I've shifted my hands to under my chin. Anyway, as long as the pressure is not hard, then nothing much to worry about.
Oh ya…now that you've mentioned, it's true too cos we apply hand cream a lot and they're usually quite rich in texture.
do you think doing this excessively over time could make one side of your face swell?
So what do we do if our face is showing signs of deformation. Such. As lines or creases in the face. How.Do.We.get rid.of.it.now.suggest a.cream. I sometimes use preparation h. Which. Shrinks the skin a bit.

März 27 -- 2000 Forbo in full swing
Forbo in full swing
Eglisau, March 27, 2000
The Forbo Group recorded 1999 gross sales of CHF 1'874 million (previous year: 1'832 ). Floor coverings increased sales by 2.1% to CHF 1'088 million (previous year: CHF 1'066 million), while sales of industry specialties were up 2.6% at 786 Mio (previous year: CHF 766 Mio). Group profit rose by 12.3% to CHF 86.1 million. After deduction of specific provisions for strategic renewal of CHF 70 million (after tax), the resulting group profit is CHF 16.1 million.
Success in core businesses
Forbo increased 1999 gross sales to CHF 1'874 million (previous year: 1'832 million) as a result of improved trading conditions in the second half year. Floor coverings recorded a sales increase of 2.1% to CHF 1'088 million (previous year: CHF 1'066 million). Sales of the industry specialties division were up 2.6% at 786 Mio (previous year: CHF 766 Mio).
The core product linoleum accounted for 40.7% of floor covering sales. Forbo - world market leader in this field with a market share of about 60% - increased 1999 sales by 4.0% to CHF 443.1 million, among others as a result of the successful launch of new product ranges in different markets, such as in the USA. The plastic floor covering market is suffering from over-capacities and price erosion. With CHF 370.7 million, sales were only 1.2% lower than in the previous year thanks to the focused coverage of selected customer segments.
The dynamic development of the two core products of the industry specialties division, i.e. belting and adhesives, continued. Belting sales rose by 8% to CHF 339.5 million in spite of essential price pressure. Forbo's market leadership could be strengthened with the introduction of new products and the expansion in new, attractive segments. Adhesives benefited from picking-up demand in key markets. Sales rose by 6.9% to CHF 223.7 million.
Group profits
Trading conditions improved in the second half of 1999 after the relatively weak first half year. The combined effect of this development, cost saving programs and the emphasis on core products boosted group profit by 12.3% to CHF 86.1 million over the previous year. The group profit is CHF 16.1 million after deduction of specific provisions of CHF 70 million (after tax) for the group's strategic renewal. The provisions have not been touched so far. The group will inform stakeholders in detail when provisions are being used.
Positive Cash Flow Development
The group cash flow is CHF 191.6 million, CHF 13.6 million or 7.6% higher than in the previous year. As a result of this improvement and focused investment activity, the positive free cash flow after capital costs was CHF 35.3 million. This is an increase of CHF 55.3 million against the previous year. Consequently the net debt could be reduced by CHF 39.6 million to CHF 205.1 million against 1998.
Forbo has a solid financial basis with 46% shareholders' equity in the balance sheet sum. "Our strength is based on solid financing and a high level of liquidity", says Gerold Zenger, Chief Financial Officer. "This is the financial basis for the further expansion of the group's activities".
Dividend unchanged
The annual profit of Forbo Holding AG is CHF 33.5 million (previous year: CHF 33.0 million). The Board of Directors proposes a dividend of CHF 22.- per registered share, as in the previous year. The dividend distribution is CHF 32.4 million, related to the same number of shares as in 1998.
Besides, the Shareholders' Meeting will propose the nomination of Michael Pieper, Chief Executive Officer of the Franke Group, to the Board of Directors.
The company's renewal announced in December 1999 and its new organization will leverage Forbo's strategic outlook. All positions of the Executive Board have been filled. In the year 2000 the focus will be on the strategic business units that account for roughly 80% of group sales. "Our goal is sustainable sales and profit growth. We have taken strategic action to focus business activities, enhance market orientation and expand core businesses. We will seek to achieve a significant increase in sales by means of internal growth and targeted acquisitions", Werner Kummer, Chief Executive Officer, said. "For the year 2000, we are expecting another improvement in group profits which should actually exceed the budgeted sales increase of 4 - 5%. This means that we should be coming closer to our mid-term goals already in this year.
Forbo is a global company committed to the development, production and marketing of products and systems for floor coverings and industrial specialties. It employs some 7 000 people worldwide and has an international network of 29 production companies in 12 countries and 71 marketing organizations in 25 countries.

EMBARRASSING TO IMAGINE – FAILING THE WILL OF ALLAH
January 6, 2014 4207924	1 Comment
EMBARRASSING TO IMAGINE
FAILING THE WILL OF ALLAH
Fearing Failure
Humility of appearance
Your father expects things from you. You are afraid to fail him. Your mother expects other things. You are handicapped not to fail. Your sisters, your brothers! Your friends! Everyone. But all these you can perhaps forgo, but can you forgo Allah? I think the acutest embarrassment is in thinking that you might fail Allah.
For Allah
It is not fear of hell, it is not fear of Fire that matters. It matters to feel that Allah gave us a challenge in life and we failed him. It would be acute shame to be there somewhere and to be told that you never did what was expected of you. And there is the ultimate matter, failing yourself.

A TURK GIRL IN LAHORE – ONE WHO RODE LIONS
January 6, 2014 4207924	3 Comments
A TURK GIRL IN LAHORE
ONE WHO RODE LIONS
Sister of Governor Ayaz al-Najm
Daughter of Lion
History moves with a momentum all its own. A Turk boy slave bought in Ghazni by Sultan Mahmud Ghaznavi grew up with talents surpassing many of the royals of his times. Sultan Masood sent him as a chaperone, with his son Prince Majdud to administer Lahore. In a short period Ayaz had made Lahore a city of Culture. Everything which went in the Muslim world came here. Intellectuals, poets, artists, calligraphers, wood carvers, carpenters, architects, lace makers , in fact Baiqai list 200 types of professionals who came to make Lahore, Lahore.
A lady, we do not know her name, but we are told that she was either a sister or a cousin of Ayaz was invited also to come to Lahore. It was she who gave the ladies touch to the cultural developments here. Sultan Mahmud was very much in love with her but his courtiers had advised him not to marry her. History does not tell us if the marriage took place or not. At that time the environment of Lahore was full of lions. The Lahore Fort of Mahmudabad also had a collection of lions and lion tamers. It is said that this Turk girl used to ride a lion on her way to the court and as she would pass the street, people would cheer her up. It was a Royal custom of the times. People would shout SHER DE BACHI, that is daughter of lion. This phrase is such a stereotype in our culture, that even today, any brave girl is referred as Sher de Bachi.
Sher de Bachi
Today Lahore boasts of all types of women population. From the extreme conservative to the extreme modern, we have all of therm here. Where Saudi Arabia does not allow women to drive cars (very anti-Islamic), we have women of Lahore driving motor cycles, including police women. Not many but they are there. Lahore girls have been not only flying aeroplanes, but also teaching flying to pilot learners. They are in the fore-front of the women revolution of Pakistan. Indeed they are Sher de Bachis in all ways.
COW RIOTS IN LAHORE 1845 – BUTCHERING THE BUTCHERS OF LAHORE
COW RIOTS IN LAHORE 1845
BUTCHERING THE BUTCHERS OF LAHORE
Mohalla Kasab Delhi Gate area
Butchers of Lahore
The KOOKA sect was formed by one Baluk Ram in the year 1845. A carpenter named Ram singh inherited the position. They were interested in going back to the Pristine qualities of their religion. The Sikhs and the Hindus joined hands in this tirade and in 1845 a number of Butcher shops were raided in Lahore and some Butchers put to death. The aim that there should be no dispLay of beef meat at Butchers shop as it was against their principles. The British were in a quandary as what to do. Full control of Lahore was not in their hands yet. The young puppet Dallip Singh was being groomed for complete take over. The Cow riots as they were called were becoming more and more destructive.
An ultimatum was issued to the KOOKAS to mend their ways and they kept quiet for some time. But it was a mum before a storm. By 1871 the riots had spread to Amritsar, and a group of 12 Kooka assassins butchered again a group of Muslim Butchers. The British were in no mood to accept the challenge to their authority, and the Kookas were ruthlessly pursued and captured by them. Out of perhaps a following of fifty thousand Kookas, 300 kookas weree taken into custody, and quickly executed by the authorities. Everybody believed that it was an excess but that excess unless controlled would have left a scar on the reigning policy of thew British. Anybody disturbing the status quo was a risk to their rule.
Rennell Taylor ICS Commissioner Amritsar
The people who think that there is no Two nation theory, should wake up to the fact, that even in Lahore, there were separate Mohallas of the Hindus and the Muslims, and nobody dared to traverse the domain of others. And this division was always there. The theme of the Hindu mohallas was very different from the Muslim ones. The 'SHARM' or 'HAIYA' we talk of was alien to the Hindus living here, and strangely it is reported by many people of that time, that literally the Hindu girls were naked from the top and wearing flimsy dress from the bottom. It was indeed a threat to the culture of the Muslims. And this invasion of the undressed person is something we see in our media today, and forget that it was always so. Sex was one of the way to reach the Divine reality in that religion. In the Muslim area the approach was totally different. That is why Quaid e Azam gave us the famous saying about the two nation theory, which we will repeat later on of the people.
SULTAN MAHMUD AND AYAZ ABU-NAJM – THE CALUMNY OF IRANIAN SOURCES
SULTAN MAHMUD AND AYAZ ABU-NAJM
THE CALUMNY OF IRANIAN SOURCES
Sacred turned profane by propaganda
Newly constructed mausoleum of Ayaz
Sultan Mahmud Ghaznavi was a puritan Muslim. He is termed a Hanafi, termed also as a Karramite, and even a Shafite in the school of Islamic thought, but essentially he was a kind of Muslim, whose only reference was the Quran itself. This was resented by many.
In 1005, a band of slaves were brought to the market in Ghazni. There was a sick Turk boy in the lot, and Sultan Mahmud felt great compassion for him. Not only was the boy bought, but sent for care and education under his supervision. The boy Ayaz Abu-Najm was son of Ademaq, and very adept at things. Very soon he acquired great proficiency in everything and became an asset for Sultan Mahmud.
It was after the death of Sultan Mahmud, that his son, Sultan Masud also patronized Ayaz, and recognizing his great skill, sent him as a chaperon (could a characterless person have been chosen for this) to his own son, Prince Majdud to Lahore. The Prince was a young child of eight years,, and it was Ayaz who governed Lahore. Within a short span of time, he made Lahore, Lahore, and to this day his contributions stand up in time. The fact is that many sources count Ayaz as the founder of Lahore itself.
There was a sister of Ayaz Abu-Najm (some historians think she was a cousin), and Sultan Mahmud was in love with her. He consulted his courtiers on the possibility of marrying a slave girl and the courtiers advised against this union. The history of Baihaqi is lost in many volumes, otherwise we would have learnt more about this girl. There is a great possibility that Sultan Mahmud may have married the sister of Ayaz Abu-Najm. This girl used to ride a lion in Lahore and is remembered as SHER DE BACHI to this day. A figurine of hers is in the collection of Chughtai Museum. More about her later.
Sultan Mahmud Ghaznavi
The Iranians resented the advancement of Islamic values made under Sultan Mahmud. The Caliph of Islam had himself patronized Sultan Mahmud and bestowed many titles on him. The world had rejoiced at his victories. Not being able to speak for 500 or 600 years, the Iranians could restrain themselves no longer, and innovated the calumny of a homosexual relation between Sultan Mahmud and Ayaz Abu-Najm. A more ridiculous thing cannot be imagined by any sane mind. The character of both was without blemish, and this kind of accusation, to be made after five or six centuries is fit for laughter only.
The character of Ayaz Abu-Najm was so much without blemish, that he is loved to this day in Lahore. A mausoleum destroyed by the Sikhs, where only a grave was left, was repaired by some persons on a private scale, and today his 'barsi' death anniversary is commemorated by a dedicated group of people. If there had been a blemish in his life, today after a 1000 years, people would not have loved him as much as they do today.
BAHADUR SHAH OF MOCHI GATE – THE FIRST ANTIQUE DEALER OF LAHORE
January 3, 2014 4207924	26 Comments
BAHADUR SHAH OF MOCHI GATE
THE FIRST ANTIQUE DEALER OF LAHORE
An amazing man in history
Bahadur Shah
History itself has a short memory. What is known as fact in one age, becomes a mere legend in another. Every day we get things. Only the great events are left to remember. And then those events have interpretations.
My uncle used to talk about Bahadur Shah of Mochi Gate Lahore all the time. He had a shop, and he had a thought. He knew how to collect things and he needed to sell them. My uncle used to tell me that England as well as Europe are full of things supplied by Bahadur Shah. And the record is easy, for his seal 'Bahadur Shah Mochi Gate' is on back of many of those things.
There were two ancient astrolabes in our house. And somehow Bahadur Shah got wind of them. He persuaded my grandfather Kareem Baksh Mimar to give both to him. They perhaps lie now in some foreign collection, unknown as to the source of them. As Kareem Baksh belonged to the family of Ustad Ahmad Mimar Lahori, what to say was the background of both the astrolabes?
We even now have miniatures with the seal of Bahadur Shah on them. A photograph of his exists in international archives. He is worth remembering. He was a man of vision. A 7th century rarest mathematical manuscript of Euclid was with him and lies now in a foreign collection. Another famous manuscript with five Behzad and Behzad School miniatures was with him too. Then the same was bought by Jalal ud din and Elahi Baksh publishers of Kashmeeri Bazaar Lahore. It went places till it is said to have reached the collection of Mian Fayyaz, the famous UBL banker, who became a collector in Lahore. People are remembered by what they did. Dealing in historical artifacts, Bahadur Shah stands forgotten with time. This is homage to the memory of a man long gone from the history of Lahore.

Q: Choosing View or Activity in Android programming? I am creating an interface like Powerpoint.
a Powerpoint document has several presentation pages.
I want to display a page to edit and the others as a list on the left.
Should I create each page as an Activity, or a View?
It would be thankful if you clear my confusion.

A: It would be easiest to display the list of pages in an Activity Fragment on the left and the current selection as an Activity Fragment on the right. You can reload the right Fragment with different contents whenever the user selects a different page to display. You don't need to create a separate Activity Fragment for each page—that would be a lot of overhead for no good reason. Depending on what kind of data you have for a "page", the right-hand Fragment might contain a single custom View or it may require a complex view hierarchy.
See the guide topic on Fragments for a tutorial introduction.

A: Each page is an Activity. A View class is an object on screen - an edit box, a check box, an image, etc., or a set of elements on screen. An Activity is code that manipulates data and view object to provide some functionality, its your workflow. If you think in terms of the MVC pattern, Views are the views in MVC. Activities are the controller.

A: My advice is to use ViewPager and Fragments together.

Editing TNT USA v. TrafiExpress
== Citation == '''TNT USA Inc. v. TrafiExpress, S.A. de C.V.,''' 434 F. Supp. 2d 1322 (S.D. Fla. 2006) ([http://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=6490563518234862957&q=%22434+F.Supp.2d+1322&hl=en&as_sdt=2002 full-text]). == Factual Background == Plaintiffs were the Dutch company TNT and its U.S. affiliate that provided global parcel delivery services under the [[trademark]] TNT. Defendants included TNT U.S.'s sole affiliate in Mexico that used the TNT [[mark]] on its [[website]] to promote its business. Due to alleged [[breach of contract|breaches]], including shipping packages to the U.S. using TNT's U.S. competitors, TNT ended its [[agreement]] with defendants. However, the Mexican defendants continued to use the TNT [[mark]]s on their [[website]], which they used to attract customers in the U.S. and elsewhere. == Trial Court Proceedings == Plaintiffs sued for [[trademark infringement]] and [[breach of contract]], among other claims. Defendants [[moved to dismiss]] for lack of [[subject matter jurisdiction]], claiming that the [[Lanham Act]] did not reach [[extraterritorially]], and that the court was an [[inconvenient forum]]. The court denied defendants' [[motion to dismiss]], finding that the [[Lanham Act]] could be applied [[extraterritorially]] because: (1) defendants included a U.S. citizen who controlled the Mexican defendants' U.S. activities and defendants made extensive use of TNT's Miami hub to conduct substantial business in the United States, and (2) defendants exerted a significant effect on U.S. commerce through misuse of the TNT [[mark]] in U.S. commerce and through their continued identification of themselves on the [[website]] as a TNT agent. In addition, defendants' use of their [[website]] to solicit American customers "strengthen[ed] plaintiffs' overall case" for [[extraterritorial]] application of the [[Lanham Act]]. The court also denied defendants' [[motion to transfer]] under the doctrine of [[forum non conveniens]]. Because plaintiff TNT U.S. was an American company, plaintiffs' choice of [[forum]] was entitled to a "high level of deference." Moreover, one of the defendants was American and the Mexican defendants all had substantial contacts with the U.S. Further, there were no evidentiary problems as the [[written agreement]] and termination letter were in English and defendants' [[website]] could be viewed equally well in either country. Lastly, the court noted that it would be applying mostly American law. Thus, the court held that the Southern District of Florida was the proper [[forum]]. == Source == * This page uses content from Finnegan's [http://www.finnegan.com/publications/updatenewsletters/ITCSLanding.aspx Internet Trademark Case Summaries.] This [http://www.finnegan.com/publications/updatenewsletters/pubdetail.aspx?pub=12565 entry] is available under the [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/legalcode Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike License 3.0 (Unported) (CC-BY-SA).] [[Category:Case]] [[Category:Case-U.S.-Federal]] [[Category:Case-U.S.-Trademark]] [[Category:Case-U.S.-Contract]] [[Category:Trademark]] [[Category:Contract]] [[Category:Jurisdiction]] [[Category:Case-U.S.-Jurisdiction]] [[Category:2006]]

In the summer of 2012 I entered the house for the first time as the official owner. Before purchasing it I had done an inspection of the structural integrity of the house, so I knew that there was some restoration work to be done. However, the work turned out to be a lot more than I had expected. Naively, at the moment of signing the contract it looked like a good deal to me, but later on I realized that I should have gotten a big discount instead.


Playgroups have often been a lifeline for parents and carers, providing social interaction not just for children but carers too. However, a national curriculum and research into the field has been slow coming. Whilst we now have a national curriculum, research into their benefits has lagged. Professor Edwards is going to change that.
Edwards brings a depth of understanding to early learning education, having worked as an early learning teacher prior to returning to university for further study and a PhD in early learning curriculum. Now professor of education at the Learning Sciences Institute of Australia (LSIA) at the Australian Catholic University, she recently received a grant from the Australian Research Council (Linkage Project) to study the importance of play in learning within a playgroup environment.
Linkage grants are designed to promote the forming of partnerships between universities and industry or community organisations. In this instance, LSIA has formed a partnership with Playgroup Victoria, who have also provided additional funding for the research project.
The research will focus on playgroups in schools, a relatively new concept that's expanded rapidly with over 400 in Victoria. Whilst the research will initially focus on Victoria, Edwards hopes to expand it nationally.
The research has a broad remit, looking at play in the 21st century, as well as the rise of digital technologies and the increased emphasis on formal learning at an ever younger age. Edwards says that play is a child's way of processing meaning. They explore ideas, manipulate materials, and engage with other people, digital technologies and media. Play is the opportunity to engage in conversation and make inferences.

You can create a timeless office space and have a little fun by playing with the proportions of your black and whites. By using a lot more black you can create a more masculine space. For example pair a black wooden surface and a few antique objects. For something a little more feminine, keep the majority of the space light and bright, think polished hi-gloss white and lots of great textures.
Accessories like black blankets are not only cozy – but more forgiving as well. Want to spend hours dreaming? Think crisp white sheets. This color is more serene and calming which will let you sink into a cloud of no responsibility. Strong or soft no option is wrong, just remember to contrast the rest of the space carefully. Try not to overdo the black as it can become very loud and strong (unless this is your desired look). For a never ending supply of original and local sheepskins, plush throws, and down cushions head over to L'atelier st. George.
Ahhhh Spring, we are so glad you made it! After a long and cold winter (bundled up in far too many layers), we are very excited to make room for things that are lighter and brighter. We have been keeping an eye on fashion and décor trends for this spring and wanted to share our favorite ones with you. Yes, we will always love our neutrals, but it looks like something bolder is on the horizon. Keep reading to find out!
A classic can never really go out of style and blue is definitely back for spring. Taking hints from the sea, you may want to start incorporating some color with a deep, sophisticated indigo blue. If you are looking to invest in a this trend why not try a beautiful throw, dinnerware or toss! Feeling bold? There are even furniture pieces in statement colors. For those who are more comfortable, try adding pattern! On the runway, we saw nautical stripes as well as pinstripes from head to toe. Perhaps it is too much to deck out your entire living room with but you can definitely swap in a few new solid blue wool toss cushions from Ferm Living!
Yes, you read that right – khaki is in (one of my personal favorites)! Although its muddy disposition makes it appear a neutral, we love the many ways you can rock this utilitarian color. Who can tire of the classic parka or cargo pants? All you have to do is Google a few fashion bloggers or articles online to see the many ways fashion designers are sporting this color on their runways for spring 2017. Want to try and bring this masculine color to your home? How about a sheet set layered with neutrals from Litchfield or paint one accent color in your room? Try one of these variations from Cloverdale Paint's Artisan collection: CA142 Bay Leaf, CA166 Deep Forest, CA165 Sea Stone or for a fresh approach, CA164 Wreath.
Pantone's 2017 Color Of The Year is Greenery – a fresh, spring-like color that evokes a sense of hope and rejuvenation. Although some may think that we have taken a leap back to the 60s, the color can act as a neutral. Don't believe me? Take a look outside and notice that the fresh greens in nature are a neutral that pairs with just about every color. Pantone has also created a few palettes to prove this point! What better time to start incorporating Greenery than at the start of spring. For those who are brave enough, go ahead and use it on a focal wall. If its jus a a bold pop of color added to your space, why not look for a few accessories like a vase? Better yet, add some real greenery to bring life into your room! Plants will always be on trend no matter what the season is.

CIA, NSA Missed Warning Signs of Snowden Betrayal
Security failure caused 'massive' national security damage
Edward Snowden / AP
Both the CIA and National Security Agency missed warning signs that renegade contractor Edward Snowden was a disgruntled worker who would eventually steal 1.5 million secret documents, according to a congressional study made public Thursday.
Snowden, who fled to Moscow after publicizing some of the documents through left-wing journalists, also "has had, and continues to have contact with Russian intelligence services" and voiced admiration for China during his brief career at the CIA and then NSA.
A declassified and redacted report by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence concluded that Snowden's actions resulted in the Obama's administration's most damaging intelligence failure.
"The American people can now get a fuller account of Edward Snowden's crimes and the reckless disregard he has shown for U.S. national security, including the safety of American servicemen and women," said Rep. Devin Nunes (R., Calif.), the intelligence committee chairman. "It will take a long time to mitigate the damage he caused, and I look forward to the day when he returns to the United States to face justice."
Rep. Adam Schiff (D., Calif), the committee's ranking member, added that "Snowden and his defenders claim that he is a whistleblower, but he isn't, as the committee's review shows. Most of the material he stole had nothing to do with Americans' privacy, and its compromise has been of great value to America's adversaries and those who mean to do America harm."
The report concluded that intelligence documents disclosed by Snowden "caused massive damage to national security." All examples of the damage, however, were blacked out in the report.
On Twitter, Snowden stated in response to the report: "Was I a pain in the ass to work with? Perhaps; many technologists are. But this report establishes no worse."
"Bottom line: this report's core claims are made without evidence, and are often contrary to both common sense and the public record," he said.
The report is dated Sept. 15 and was originally classified "top secret." Markings indicate the report dealt with signals intelligence—sensitive data collected electronically by NSA around the world.
"In June 2013, former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden perpetrated the largest and most damaging release of classified information in U.S. intelligence history," the report said.
The findings were based on a two-year committee probe that did not include interviews with Snowden, who is currently facing U.S. espionage charges.
Contrary to some media portrayals, the House report indicates Snowden was a disgruntled employee who argued with his superiors, ultimately fleeing NSA's Kunia facility in Hawaii in May 2013. He then began disclosing documents in what he asserted was a bid to expose improper NSA surveillance.
The committee's findings "demonstrate that the public narrative popularized by Snowden and his allies is rife with falsehoods, exaggerations and crucial omissions, a pattern that began before he stole 1.5 million sensitive documents," the report said.
Snowden compromised secrets that once protected American troops overseas and secrets that were used in countering terrorism along with dealing with threats from states such as China and Russia.
Some of the disclosures "resulted in the loss of intelligence streams that had saved American lives," the report said.
The Pentagon identified 13 high-risk areas of potential damage from future intelligence disclosures, including several that related to defense capabilities. "If the Russian or Chinese governments have access to this information, American troops will be at greater risk in any future conflict," the report said.
Snowden was described as a "serial exaggerator and fabricator" who intentionally lied about his past in order to promote himself to senior positions and gain greater access to secrets.
However, the report includes new disclosures that security officials at both CIA and NSA failed to recognize that Snowden was likely to betray the government's trust and disclose significant U.S. intelligence capabilities that have been lost or restricted as a result.
For example, NSA security officials failed to conduct a routine check of Snowden's educational background. Had they done so, NSA would have learned that Snowden had dropped out of high school in his sophomore year, yet falsely stated on his resume he had graduated from "Maryland High School" in 2001. There is no high school in Maryland with that name.
Snowden also was granted a "top secret" security clearance in 2005 despite an associate warning security investigators he should not be given access to secrets.
Snowden was hired as a computer technician by a CIA contractor and converted to CIA employment in 2006 after obtaining a security clearance. While at CIA, he complained of harassment by a supervisor.
He was posted overseas, but was relieved of his position after altering CIA software improperly and disobeying orders.
Snowden then applied for work at NSA and was hired by an NSA contractor in 2009. However, the report revealed that CIA failed to update a security database with derogatory information about Snowden. As a result, NSA failed to learn of his problems at CIA before hiring him.
The Office of Personnel Management updated Snowden's security clearance in 2011 with an investigation later found to have been incomplete.
"Among other flaws, the investigation never attempted to verify Snowden's CIA employment or speak to his CIA supervisors, nor did it attempt to independently verify Snowden's self-report of a past security violation—areas where further information could have alerted NSA to CIA's concerns," the report said.
Investigators also failed to check job references on Snowden beyond those he offered: his mother and girlfriend.
While working for NSA in Hawaii, Snowden was described by coworkers as "arrogant" and "squirrelly." They said he was chronically late for work, and would claim he overslept as a result of staying up late to play video games.
Coworkers said Snowden expressed few political views, but voiced sympathies for China based on meetings with Chinese hackers.
Snowden, according to the report, once claimed "the United States caused problems for China but China never caused problems for the United States."
Another NSA coworker said Snowden defended Wikileaks' collaborator Army Pvt. Bradley Manning, who stole tens of thousands of State Department and Pentagon documents while posted in Iraq.
The report also disclosed the methods used by Snowden to break into NSA's classified computer networks and download large numbers of documents.
The secrets were stolen from NSANet, the agency's internal computer network, and from an intelligence community-wide system called the Joint Warfighter Information Computer System. The 1.5 million documents, if printed out, would form a pile more than 3 miles high.
As a computer systems administrator, Snowden used downloading tools called scraping software, specifically a program called "wget" and "DownThemAll!" that allowed large numbers of files to be downloaded over slow networks.
NSA failed to use monitoring tools that could have detected the illegal document downloading, the report said.
Snowden also used a desktop computer in Hawaii, a loophole that allowed him to avoid security scrutiny while stealing documents.
The document theft began in the summer of 2012 at the same time Snowden sought full-time NSA employment. According to the report, Snowden was able to cheat on a test he was given in pursuit of full-time NSA position by accessing the test answers on an NSA network.
He was offered a post in NSA's hacking intelligence unit, the Tailored Access Operations office. However, Snowden's demand for a higher salary derailed the job offer.
Snowden contacted leftwing journalist Glenn Greenwald and filmmaker Laura Poitras in December 2012 and January 2013, respectively, and provided both with documents.
By late 2013, Snowden went to work for intelligence contractor Booz Allen Hamilton in an NSA office that battled cyber attacks from Russia and China. While working there, Snowden stole additional documents from the NSA National Threat Operation Center—information that would be valuable to governments in Russia and China.
Snowden boarded a flight for Hong Kong on May 19, 2013. The first disclosures from Greenwald were published on June 5, 2013.
The report said Snowden did not use legal whistleblower protections to raise his objections to NSA surveillance.
In a heavily redacted section on foreign influence, the report quoted a Russian official as saying Snowden shared intelligence with the Russian government.
Intelligence agencies conducted limited damage assessments of the Snowden case, and have not investigated his motive or whether he worked as an agent of a foreign intelligence service.
The disclosures of NSA documents to date represent what the report called the "tip of the iceberg" of more damaging disclosures, the report said.
The cost of mitigating the damage could reach $1 billion.
Security reforms also have not been fully implemented by NSA and other agencies to prevent future insiders from compromising secrets.
"The committee remains concerned that NSA, like the [intelligence community] as a whole, have not done enough to reduce the chances of future insider threats like Snowden," the report concludes.

Study looks at economic, traffic benefits for I-290 improvements in Chicago
Proposed improvements for a 13-mile stretch of I-290 between I-94 and the I-88/294 interchange in Chicago […]
Proposed improvements for a 13-mile stretch of I-290 between I-94 and the I-88/294 interchange in Chicago would create more than 22,000 jobs, reduce traffic congestion, and enhance access to jobs, acccording to a
new study by the Illinois Economic Policy Institute (ILEPI).
The $2.7 billion project, which combines transit and pedestrian improvements alongside bridge and roadway upgrades, is projected by the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) to provide amongst the best economic, equity, and traffic impacts of any project in the region by 2050, according to a press release from ILEPI.
"The I-290 corridor is vital multi-modal infrastructure that's needed to connect the western suburbs and southern Cook County with the City of Chicago, but it has far exceeded its design life and become one of the most congested and dangerous thoroughfares in the region," ILEPI Transportation Director and study author Mary Tyler said in a statement. "That said, its proposed modernization represents one of the region's greatest opportunities to create jobs, reduce traffic burdens, and alleviate the economic access burdens facing disadvantaged communities."
ILEPI says as much as 90% of the project's existing pavement structure is original and exceeds the normal roadway design life of 25-30 years. Of its 44 bridges, 34% are considered "structurally deficient" and 86% are "functionally obsolete," according to Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) data. According to CMAP, vehicle traffic on the stretch has increased by more than 16% since 1984.
The proposed I-290 reconstruction project incorporates not only bridge and highway upgrades—including a new High Occupancy Toll lane (HOT3+) to support Express Bus service and promote carpooling—but also wider sidewalks, pedestrian safety islands, high visibility crosswalks, lighting, and signals to better facilitate pedestrian/bicycle traffic and transit riders.
A concurrent CTA project would upgrade Blue Line transit facilities, including reconstruction of the entire Forest Park Branch as well as stations from UIC-Halsted to Forest Park and six substations.
By 2050, CMAP projects the project will reduce travel times by 25-56%, while increasing the number of jobs within 45 minutes of each household in the region by more than 17,000.
The study examined the potential overall economic impact of the project, concluding that it would create nearly 22,000 new jobs paying an average of almost $80,000 per year, while growing the economy by more than $2.6 billion and boosting local, state, and federal tax revenues by more than $450 million.
