SURE, THE FINANCIAL CRISIS AND economic downturn have taken up much of decision makers' brainpower for months now. But believe it or not, there are other issues still relevant to the commercial real estate industry. One of them is sustainable building.
Green Building Council, prove that out. Of the more than 250 industry professionals who participated in the online poll, nearly 87% said that the greening of their portfolio is a high priority for their firms. (For more about the respondents, see sidebar.) That number is higher than last year's results, when 81.5% said that going green was a leading agenda item. The results of the survey were released this month at USGBC's Greenbuild 2008 Conference & Expo in Boston.
and tenants alike, the industry is still in the early stages of actual implementation. Companies aren't spending a lot of money on it, and portfolios are still, for the most part, under-greened.

Investment advisor and best-selling author, Terry Savage, "puts her money where her mouth is" and shares a personal story about why she's a fan of reverse mortgages. Savage explains how she helped her father get a reverse mortgage 15 years ago. He lived in that same home until his passing at the age of 95. She helped him pay his insurance, property taxes and occasional special assessment along the way, and reminded him that he could not be forced to move out as long as he continued to pay taxes, insurance, and maintained the home, and otherwise complied with the loan terms. She urged him "to not worry, live longer – and beat the odds!" He did!
This touching article tells about how her father was able to live in dignity as long as possible. It's the way a reverse mortgage should work.

This was the first year I made it to Burning Man. The days before the trip I was, well, burning bright with anticipation. The car was packed, but it had no sunroof (the glass plate having been blown off when it a loose bolt gave way on Highway 101 :-). I had a plastic bag and a roll of duct tape to replace it. That and a lot of water, some food, lots of dollar bills, and my Ranger gear. I was prepared for the Black Rock Desert!

Weekly Bird: Canada Goose
Mayntz September 17, 2018 Bird of the Week No Comments
The Canada goose is a bird that seems overly familiar, and because of that, too many people disregard all that is fascinating about these waterfowl. But there is much more to enjoy about these bold and persistent geese than many people realize!
Canada Geese in Flight – Photo by Don DeBold
Canada Goose Fun Facts
Despite its name, the Canada goose (Branta canadensis) is not found only in Canada. This bird's range extends throughout the United States and well into northern Mexico, as well as southwestern Greenland. They have also been introduced and are now widespread in Scandinavia, the United Kingdom, and western Europe. Naturally migrating Canada geese are also found in eastern Siberia and China, and these birds have been introduced as a game bird in New Zealand.
There are at least seven recognized subspecies of Canada goose, and the cackling goose (one of the smallest subspecies) was split into its own species in 2004. Some ornithologists believe there may be up to 100 or even more subspecies of Canada goose, though that large number is not widely accepted as yet.
In general, Canada goose subspecies are smaller overall in the north than they are in the south, and western populations tend to have darker plumage. There is a great deal of variation, however, but all the birds have the distinctive white chin strap, heavy brown body, black neck, and white abdomen that help identify the species.
These are largely herbivorous birds and they eat a wide range of plant material, including seeds, grain, grasses, berries, buds, nuts, roots, algae and more. They graze while on land, and will "dabble" in the water, tipping their butts up to stretch for food underneath the water.
Canada geese are monogamous birds, and a mated pair will keep that bond for life, raising new broods of goslings each breeding season.
In migration, Canada geese typically fly at an altitude of 3,000 feet, but have been recorded as high as 29,000 feet in altitude.
While these geese are known for their characteristic V-shaped flight formation, the same bird does not always stay in the lead position. Birds switch that position regularly, as it takes greater energy to fly at the head of the formation and the lead bird will tire more quickly than the rest of the flock.
Adult Canada geese are very vocal and have a loud honk, but young goslings have many other vocalizations, including peeps and trills. Goslings even start communicating with their parents before the eggs hatch! Adult females have lower voices than adult males.
Unfortunately, because these birds can be aggressive and territorial, they are often considered a pest species and may be culled, particularly in urban or suburban areas where large flocks of Canada geese create unsightly messes, beg incessantly for handouts, and take over parks and ponds.
Canada geese can live 10-25 years. There are a few reports of wild, banded geese reaching ages over 30 years, while one record of a captive Canada goose notes it was over 40 years old.
Adding the Canada Goose to Your Life List
These are very easy geese to see, particularly during the summer in urban and suburban areas. Visit parks, golf courses, or planned communities that have significant ponds and cultivated lawns, and you're likely to see a flock of Canada geese. They are also common in agricultural fields after grain harvests. In winter, they may congregate in large numbers near open freshwater sources. You can even spot them easily in the air thanks to their loud honks and V-shaped or diagonal line flight formations.

Biography of a Criminal: Fariba Kamalabadi
Posted by :James Howden On : May 15, 2015
Category: At First Glance
Tags:7Bahais7Years, Baha'i community, BIHE, criminal minds, Evin Prison, Fariba Kamalabadi, Iran, Iran Presswatch, irony, true crime
How's this for a life of crime? Dad's a doctor who loses his job for practising medicine while Baha'i (that's known as a 'PMWB' offence, which went from a misdemeanour to a felony after the Iranian Revolution in 1979). He was imprisoned and tortured, though it probably did nothing to straighten him out. (You know how these people are!) His daughter Fariba seemed to think that, just because she had outstanding high school marks, her brazen attempt to go to university was somehow her RIGHT. The ruling authorities of the Islamic Republic, fortunately, were able to nip that nefarious plan in the bud. Ms. Kamalabadi, however, was incorrigible, embarking in her 30s on an extended, clearly delusional attempt at higher education from an underground university, the notorious "Baha'i Institute for Higher Education" (BIHE). She had a lengthy criminal record with a wide range of what are euphemistically called "volunteer activities" and was imprisoned several times. Finally, when her propensity for repeated, remorseless involvement with a gang of six other reprobates continued – why, these people were helping that illegal Baha'i element to learn, marry and other of their supposed "human rights" – she was among the seven who were finally rounded up and removed, dangers as they clearly were to law-abiding Iranian citizens, from decent society…
*Coughs*. That's enough of that. Irony is hard. Sarcasm kills…
Pre-incarceration photo, likely much changed now — except for that resolute chin.
[This is the second of my stubborn efforts to get to know more of the seven innocent Baha'is in Iran, who are the focus for the international #7Bahais7Years campaign, and so here's a taste of the remarkable life of that "arch-criminal" Fariba Kamalabadi, 52. Again, thanks to intrepid Baha'i social networkers Danny and Pej, who have fed me with a steady diet of sad yet still ennobling information about this tragic, heroic and underreported story of the Quietly Magnificent Seven, prisoners of conscience in Iran for a week of years. This won't take long; be sure not to miss her own description of her "crime" below.]
Fariba Kamalabadi spent eight years, starting in her 30s, to get an undergraduate degree in developmental psychology. She has three kids, the youngest of whom missed having her mother with her for all of her teenaged years. That might be the one getting married, the one whose mother was unable to attend her wedding/then allowed to/then refused/then permitted if the wedding was in Evin Prison with maximum 10 attendees/then refused even that somber wedding chamber. Ms. Kamalabadi has physically deteriorated under the primitive conditions in her small cell, yet remains serene and strives to be of service – can you believe it? – to her neighbours in prison. I recommend reading more of her story; my favourite part was how she and her friend Mahvash Sabet counselled and befriended the drug addicts and other hard cases that they were, at one point, thrown in with.
She couldn't be at her daughter's wedding, but you ought to read the letter she wrote to be read at the ceremony. This part — her "confession" — knocked me out:
"What are they afraid of? Are they afraid of a mother who has to spend twenty years of her life in prison only having committed the crime of believing in the Baha'i Faith…? My crime is the most beautiful crime in the whole world….My crime is to worship the One God, and to acknowledge the truth of all God's religions. My crime is to work to bring about the principle of the unity of mankind, and universal peace. My crime is to cultivate a longing to serve humanity in my mind, and a love for all human beings in my heart. My crime is to make efforts to revive our sacred country, Iran, and to promote its honor and exaltation…"
Man oh man, no wonder they lock these people up!

Drug treated…slow malaria
Drug treated bed nets to slow malaria
Added March 11th 2019, 11:20 PM
For decades, one of the strongest weapons against malaria has been a one-two punch: low-tech mosquito bed nets to physically block biting, treated with deadly insecticides to kill the mosquitoes.
With widespread use of this combination, malaria deaths have dropped significantly -- though nearly 445,000 people died from the disease in 2016 alone. But now the threat is again worsening, as the ever-adaptable pest has become resistant to insecticides.
Researchers found that they could use the same drug -- atovaquone -- used to treat the malaria parasite when a person gets sick, coat mosquito bed nets with it, and let mosquitoes ingest the anti-malarial drug. The medication "cures" the mosquito, so it can't spread the disease.
How did they get the medicine into the mosquitoes? The researchers developed computer models that explored how adding atovaquone to the bed nets and its ability to cure individual mosquitoes affected malaria prevalence in the human population as a whole. The' modeling factored in various external conditions, such as the current malaria prevalence, bed net coverage, and level of insecticide resistance.
They found that mosquitoes that sat on the surfaces for six minutes -- a typical resting time on bed nets -- would absorb the medicine needed to kill the malaria parasite in them. Similar transmission-blocking effects are achieved using other cytochrome b inhibitors, which demonstrates that parasite mitochondrial function is a suitable target for killing parasites. Incorporating these effects into a model of malaria transmission dynamics predicts that impregnating mosquito nets with Plasmodium inhibitors would substantially mitigate the global health effects of insecticide resistance.
The method could be more effective and less harmful to the people and environment in malaria hotspots. It has several advantages over the current techniques, the author said.
"The mosquito should not develop resistance to the compounds because we're just killing the parasite that's inside it," she said. "And atovaquone is already a licensed drug, so we know it's safe for humans."

When I was in high school, NBC bought the rights to air Jurassic Park, and for weeks leading up, they told everyone it was their "dino duty" to tune in that Sunday night and watch.
Nobody ever got boiled in a deep fat fryer for that. Decades later, I still wonder why.
My novel comes out two months from today. As I get the word out, I'm anxious I might commit some marketing atrocity.
The Killbug Eulogies: part of this complete breakfast!
Writing books, for all the mysticism surrounding it, is mostly showing up to work and putting your time in. The selling of books, on the other hand, is striking the earth and hoping something valuable wells up. If it doesn't, am I having bad luck, or am I looking in the wrong place entirely? I may not have enough experience to know for sure.
A book is a product. You have to package and promote it like every other thing on the internet's digital shelves. If you don't do this, all the work is for nothing.
Work that starts when you sit down to create a goofy story you hope will distract and entertain. Somewhere in the fourth edit, you discover things about yourself, like how you are both stronger and more damaged than you imagined. The jokes you tell are sad in ways you hadn't noticed, your tragedies have a witty insolence that makes them a joy. When you share these stories, you are delighted to find that some people get it: they've experienced the same wonder, the same life-fatigue, the same desire to twist and break the frustrating bits of reality. This connection becomes the purpose of what you've been doing all along.
But you realize if you want to get the book out there (and have the resources to write a sequel), you have to knock on a lot of doors and ask a lot of favors.
The conundrum: you can try to have a human moment with someone, or you can sell them something, but you can't do both, right?
You kinda have to do both.
Look, I know this isn't the rift in time and space I am making it out to be. If books don't look for readers, readers will never find the books they are looking for. Everybody knows this. But I still feel like a T-rex with dino duty in his teeth.
Here's my solution: I'm going to try to "art" myself out of embarrassment. The Killbug Eulogies is about a deep-space mission to a eradicate a hive of six-foot praying mantises in the far corner of the galaxy, so I'd like to do a promotion in the form of a news article covering the outset of the venture: who is involved, where and why they are shipping out, in what cartoonishly gruesome ways they can expect to die. Everything you'd need to know about the plot and characters. Plus the impish graphics and photos I like to use on this blog.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has undertaken a massive project to create a smart grid by implementing smart devices into existing infrastructure. The DOE has calculated that the current grid is made up of 10,000 generating units that boast a generation capacity that exceeds 1 million megawatts, and is routed through more than 300,000 miles of transmission lines.
The sheer size and significance of the existing grid shows the grandeur of the refurbishment project to take place, according to Electric Light and Power.
However, utilities and technology providers are expected to use much of the same infrastructure, and integrate new technologies into the current system. In order for these configurations to mesh, the news source states, protocols that define the structure and transfer of information between systems must be developed.
Currently, utilities are drafting protocols that will provide interoperability between different vendors, essentially allowing different systems to speak the same language. While internet protocol suites have been developed and are widely used, they provide only lower level interoperability in the network and transports levels. New protocols will enable vendors to plug into an existing infrastructure through standardized components, the media outlet stated.
The need for interoperability has led utilities in North America to adopt the Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3), which is frequently used in substation automation. DNP3 supports two-way communication that allow control centers to remotely monitor the processes of intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) and other functions. The protocol also defines an acceptable security model that promotes message authentication and encryption between the sender and receiver.
New protocols are being developed all over the world. In Brazil, the IEEE 2030 protocol will soon be launched when utiltiies and smart grid experts convene to discuss the state of the country's smart grid.
"This is the world's first end-to-end, system-of-systems, foundational standard that has been created from the ground up to inform smart grid interconnection and interoperability," Dr. Claudio Lima, Vice-Chair of the IEEE P2030/TF3 Smart Grid Architecture work group, said. "There is no such standard in the world that covers smart grid from a systemic and interoperability perspective."
As the smart grid begins to roll out at home and abroad, utilities will need the expertise of industry professionals to integrate into the new grid in the most efficient way.
SUBNET Solutions Inc. provides that support, with software developed to promote interoperability between current IEDs, and offers utilities remote access control of infrastructure and substation automation.

There's no other antelope like a wildebeest. The antics of the territorial bulls during breeding season have earned them the name the "clowns of the savanna.
The oryx is a large antelope of striking appearance with long, spearlike horns. It has a thick, horselike neck with a short mane and a compact, muscular body.
Living in the grasslands, scrub, and open woodlands of sub-Saharan Africa, the lion is the second largest cat in the world. Unlike other cats, lions are very social animals.
A Lechwe is a medium-sized antelope, well adapted to wetlands. Lechwes are grazers feeding mainly on semi-aquatic grasses, but also sour-grasses & herbs.
Rhinos are large herbivorous mammals, identified by their horned snouts. Rhinos were recently on the brink of extinction up until recent conservation efforts in SA.
Roan antelope are one of the largest species of antelope. Similar in appearance to sable antelope. Sable antelope males are darker, being black rather than dark brown.
The sable is a barrel-chested antelope with a short neck and a long face. It resembles the larger roan antelope. Among its distinctive features are its long horns.

#Secure: Gordon Brown brings Safe Schools project to Pakistan
Written by UK Asian
Former British Prime Minister and UN education envoy Gordon Brown this week unveiled a new pilot project in Pakistan aimed at securing the country's schools against terror attacks.
The project, a collaboration between the Pakistani government and UNICEF among other organizations, will use technology to help schools assess risk levels and preparedness of schools.
It is hoped that the technology will help prepare schools against atrocities such the Peshawar school attack in December which left more than 140 children dead.
The technology for the project - part of the global Safe Schools initiative - has been donated by Predictify.me, a US company that specializes in predictive analysis for commercial businesses.
Each participating school will receive a report providing a designation on the degree of risk, specific recommendations for improving the school's set-up to become safer and recommendations for community preparedness measures and ongoing risk forecasts.
In the past five years, hundreds of schools have been destroyed by militants in the strife-torn Khyber Pakhtukhwa province in north eastern Pakistan.
If successful, the programme has ambitions to be scaled up to cover all 200,000 schools in Pakistan through the national Safe Schools Initiative.
Mr Brown said he had seen how children had become "the silent, tragic victims of conflict" on a recent visit to South Sudan, as well as others to Nigeria, Pakistan and the DRC.
There have been more than 10,000 attacks on schools around the world in the past five years – the highest level recorded in four decades.
Add to that is the fact that 28 million boys and girls are not in school due to conflicts and emergencies.
Mr Brown also urged the international community to invest in making schools in conflict-affected regions safer by signing up to the Global Humanitarian Fund for Education in Emergencies.
"Today I am making a plea from the heart to the conscience of the world that we now wake up to the suffering faced by millions of children," Mr. Brown said during a press conference at UN Headquarters in New York on Wednesday.
"It is time for us to end the shameful breaches of international law that violate the rights of millions of children by calling a halt to the militarisation of schools, stopping the now-growing abduction of school pupils as weapons of war and insisting – even in conflict zones – that properly resourced 'safe schools' enable children to enjoy their education in peace", he added.

Gallery: Craig Anderson By Bosko
Bosko presents his favourite Craig Anderson frames, and tells the story of how they met.
By Ben Bugden Dec 12 2014 11:38AM
The Tracks style issue is on stands now and within its freshly inked pages you'll find quite a few shots of Mr. Craig Anderson. If there was ever a magazine that Craig deserved to feature in it is this one. There are few surfers with such an aesthetically pleasing way of riding a wave and we had to pick his brain about his approach and get an insight into his technique. To find out more you'll have to pick up the issue, but in the meantime we contacted one of Ando's biggest supporters and fellow Newcastle resident, Peter 'Bosko' Boskovic to get his view on Craig and his rise to the top of the freesurfing world.
Bosko On Ando
I went to check the surf one day at Merewether. I sat there for a minute watching when I saw this goofy footer who was surfing super silky. I waited to watch a few more waves before I could comment on the kid, but soon I asked the local boys in the carpark who he was.
"Who's that kid? Fuck, he surfs like Machado", I asked.
"Oh that's Craig, Craig Anderson," they replied.
"Craig who? Where's he from?"
"You guys are fucking with me … really?"
"Serious, he's from here. He just moved from South Africa with his family and lives here now."
I waited for him to come out of the water in order to get to know more. He was such a polite kid, really good manners and appreciative, a Skinny runt with chicken legs. He had no sponsors in Australia, but was with Quiksilver in South Africa, however the sponsorship must not have rolled over when he left for Australia.
After a brief talk we exchanged phone numbers. I really felt for this kid and his family and wanted to do what I could to help him achieve his dreams – to make a living doing what he does best. He had so much potential … just in the style and grace of his surfing, which is very rare to find. So that's how it started with Craig and I.
His dad Rod was often in touch. He needed reassurance that this was the right thing for Craig to be doing. "Is he wasting his time with this surfing thing or should he just get a job", Rob would ask. I reassured him and asked that he give Craig time and he would make it. This was extra pressure on me now, so I had to make sure I got this kid working hard so he would make it. I think I wanted it more than anyone because I had reassured Rod he would make it, and I didn't want to let him down.
Before long a trip to South Africa for Waves magazine (R.I.P) popped up. I fought hard to persuade the editor to get Craig on this trip, in order to surf, but also to revisit his homeland and see his grand parents and friends after years of absence.
Then there was this great concept that Waves had created called the Black Knight Awards. We needed seven freesurfers to be a part of this year-long project. At the end one surfer would be crowned the Black Knight.
The editor had me very involved in the process. They already had six guys picked and I fought for Craig to be number seven. The editor said no and that he wasn't good enough. After pleading and begging him to get Craig on, he said, "If the kid doesn't perform you're sacked!"
Ryan Hipwood won the Black Knight Award, but the Waves Magazine award was won by Craig. The editor and the staff loved him.
From then on Craig learnt to be pro active. He has his own act, knows how to promote himself in a cool manner without going over the top. Everyone wants a piece of him now because his profile is so huge. He has created this for himself with hard work. He also has a few close friends that keep him in touch with reality, making sure he doesn't get a big head and float away.
I'm very proud of him because he picked up the gauntlet and has never dropped it, he works very hard at what he wants to achieve and I love those ethics.
The one thing that really satisfies me is proving wrong the knockers who said he wouldn't make it. In your faces!

Cotton On Storm Watch
Tropical Storm Fred has cotton farmers looking for the extra spin cycle button to dry things out.
The storm also struck economists with a mild case of supply fears, leading cotton prices to reach levels not seen in 10 years.
Add this to the mix: Prior to the fears of Fred, the USDA threw a curveball and cut yield and production expectations for this growing season.
In the report, they placed U.S. production for 2021 at 17.25M bales. Although lower than earlier estimates, that's still an 18% increase over last year.
It's not often that both supply and prices are expected to be higher, but last year's ending stocks were low, thanks to decreased 2020 production and strong demand.
That demand has continued to strengthen in 2021 across the globe, so when the market doubted how big this year's crop would be, prices jumped.
How high? The USDA expects farmers to see a price of 80 cents per pound, which is 13 cents higher than last year.

Open Books Open Minds - Exit West by Mohsin Hamid
The Open Books--Open Minds book of the year 2018/19
Discussion Questions for 'Exit West' from PBS NewsHour-New York Times book club, "Now Read This."
Readers Guide from Penguin Random House
by Mohsin Hamid
Open Books--Open Minds Common Book
"From the internationally bestselling author of The Reluctant Fundamentalist and How to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia, a love story that unfolds in a world being irrevocably transformed by migration. In a country teetering on the brink of civil war, two young people meet--sensual, fiercely independent Nadia and gentle, restrained Saeed. They embark on a furtive love affair, thrust into premature intimacy by the unrest roiling their city. When it explodes, turning familiar streets into a patchwork of checkpoints and bomb blasts, they begin to hear whispers about doors--doors that can whisk people far away, if perilously and for a price. As violence and the threat of violence escalate, Nadia and Saeed decide that they no longer have a choice. Leaving their homeland and their old lives behind, they find a door and step through. Exit West is an epic compressed into a slender page-turner--both completely of our time and for all time, Mohsin Hamid's most ambitious and electrifying novel yet"-- The Publisher.

Selected Book Reviews
El Akkad, Omar. "Mohsin Hamid's Exit West, reviewed: A masterpiece of humility and restraint," The Globe and Mail, 17 March 2017.
"At the novel's core is something more fundamental than the whims of politics – an exploration of human needs so universal, they elevate Exit West from a product of our time to something timeless."
Gilbert, Sophie. "Exit West and the Edge of Dystopia," The Atlantic. 8 March 2017.
"Hamid's novel is both timely—a tale about refugees playing out against a global migrant crisis—and impossibly prescient. When it comes to the future, he posits, we will all be migrants, whether we hop from country to country or stay in one place until the day we die."
McNamara, James. "Flee or die." Spectator, 13 May 2017, p. 34.
"At a time when expressing the hope that refugee kids don't starve to death in camps marks one out as a 'luvvie snowflake', it's good to have a writer grab us by the lapels and shout: 'Look, we all know mass global displacement is a bit complex, but we can't just tell everyone running from war to fuck off.'
Mohsin Hamid does that (albeit more subtly) in his stunning novel,"
Nguyen, Viet Thanh. "A Refugee Crisis in a World of Open Doors," New York Times 10 March 2017.
'"Exit West" does not lead to utopia, but to a near future and the dim shapes of strangers that we can see through a distant doorway. All we have to do is step through it and meet them."
Sandhu, Sukhdev. "Exit West by Mohsin Hamid – magical vision of the refugee crisis". The Guardian, 12 March 2017.
"Exit West is animated – confused, some may think – by constant motion between genre, between psychological and political space, and between a recent past, an intensified present and a near future. It's a motion that mirrors that of a planet where millions are trying to slip away 'from once fertile plains cracking with dryness, from seaside villages gasping beneath tidal surges, from overcrowded cities and murderous battlefields'."
Swirsky, Rebecca. "Doors of perception." New Statesman, 28 Apr. 2017, p. 49.
"Mohsin Hamid's fourth novel opens as it means to go on. The twentysomething Saeed invites Nadia, a fellow student ... for coffee. Discovering that she doesn't pray, he lowers his voice to question why she wears a flowing black robe. Nadia's reply is simple. "So men don't fuck with me." Her response sets the tone for their ensuing relationship and presents in micro Exit West's premise: that people are hybrid beings with contradictory identities subject to flux."

Meet the taxpayer-funded nonprofit pushing for Medicaid expansion, more state spending
Idaho Freedom Foundation staff
Jannus Inc. is, by many accounts, one of the largest and most influential non-profit social services organizations in Idaho.
With an annual budget of more than $15 million, Jannus operates two dozen programs that, according to executive director Karan Tucker, "promote community health, inform public policy and create economic opportunity."
Jannus does much of its work quietly in communities across Idaho, but has not been afraid to step to the front of controversy as it did when it became the sole social services group to run the federal refugee resettlement program.
In an interview with the Idaho Statesman in December, Tucker was asked with what she and Jannus struggled. Her answer, "Being able to tell our story. ... We've not been good about being able to articulate the impact that a lot of these programs are making. And that's primarily due to a lack of resources. We focus so much of our funding on the actual direct service that we haven't found a way to fund good marketing outreach."
Given that more than $11.3 million, or 75 percent, of Jannus' annual budget is supported by federal taxpayers and a good deal more in state taxes, IdahoReporter.com sought out Tucker to help her tell their story. Call it a kind of reverse marketing outreach.
After an email exchange over three days, Tucker's response was, to paraphrase, Thanks, but no thanks. Her reason, she said, was, "With many competing priorities, we do not have the resources available at this time to respond to your questions in appropriate detail."
She did not elaborate on the priorities with which we were competing, nor did she explain what kind of resources, exactly, she needed to answer our questions. These were questions, 10 of them, Idaho Reporter emailed to her in advance to give her time to consider her responses.
Instead, she offered to IR a statement that stressed the need for Jannus' services and the group's efficiency and economy in delivering them. In closing, Tucker applauded the 15,000 people served by their "120 dedicated employees working throughout the state, contributing to our shared way of life and changing lives for the better."
Jannus, formerly known as the Mountain States Group, has been in Idaho for more than 40 years. Since 2000, its budget has grown and fluctuated from about $10 million to $15 million a year.
Though the group is a non-profit 501(c)(3), with all of the restrictions on political activity that come with it, Jannus is in the business of soliciting taxpayer and private funding to grow government programs.
Jannus offers a welter of federal programs it calls Agency for New Americans, which includes social services, education, child care and savings account services for refugees. Over $4 million in funding comprises more than 35 percent of all the federal funding Jannus received in fiscal 2016, according to the group's financial filings.
Tucker told the Idaho Statesman the backlash against the refugees and Jannus' work to serve them had her employees "rattled." She declined to answer the Idaho Reporter's question as to why employees were upset or to discuss refugee resettlement in Idaho in the context of President Trump's recent executive order on immigration.
"For months, we were subjected to rhetoric at odds with the values of inclusion, social justice and compassion — the values at the very core of Jannus," Tucker told the Idaho Statesman.
According to its financials, Jannus gets another $2.8 million a year in federal funding to run Idaho's child and adults care food program. And the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services directs almost another $2 million to Jannus for the state's Early Head Start program.
In fiscal 2016, Jannus had seven contracts with the State Department of Health and Welfare, valued at $1.2 million a year, according to department spokesman Tom Shanahan. He said, all but about $100,000 of that total comes from federal funding.
Jannus is allied with the Idaho Center for Fiscal Policy, which bills itself as a non-partisan non-profit, though it approaches its policy analysis of education and health issues from a liberal, big-government perspective.
To that end, Jannus partners with in Idaho Voices for Children and Idaho AfterSchool Network, which advocate on a broad range of children's issues.
Lauren Necochea, director of Idaho Voices, has been a staunch advocate for Idaho to expand Medicaid. Last week, Necochea testified before the state House and Senate Health & Welfare Committee. She asserted that converting Medicaid to a block grant program, something conservatives have long proposed, could leave "Idahoans at the back of the line."
(You can find a complete list of Jannus programs here.)
When asked by the Statesman to name the Jannus program she is most proud of, Tucker said it was the state's trust in awarding them the contract for the state's suicide prevention hotline.
State taxpayers fund roughly $225,000 and federal taxpayers another $150,000 a year for Jannus to run that program, now in its fourth year.
IdahoReporter.com wanted to ask Tucker why the suicide prevention hotline stands out to her, but, well, she didn't respond.

Our site is a digital art site, so the images tend to be quite large. We're adding a new feature for illustrated stories and using the above script to move through the images in each story.
One of my problems (the main one), is that when the Next button is clicked, the next slide loads at the bottom of the image. What I need it to do, is when Next is clicked, move to the next slide but jump to the top of the page. I have tried in vain to force it to the top with bookmarks and <a href> tags in HTML. I can get it to work in Mozilla that way, but not IE - which is what most of our users are browsing with.
My other issue is I am wondering if a different button can be used for Previous & Next. A gif or jpg?

Every media organization has had to, at one time or another, discipline staff who crossed an ethical line. If a reporter loses his or her cool and becomes offensive in the course of their work, they must be held accountable to some set of professional standards. Ideally the standards would be a set of objective criteria that focused on verifiable breaches of honesty or civility. A credible news organization must never tolerate a reporter lying or engaging in personal attacks. I repeat, a "credible" news organization…
Unfortunately, there is a disturbing lack of oversight in this regard. Often offenders are excused without consequence or, conversely, punishment is meted out to an innocent party. For example, NPR terminated their relationship with a couple of executives who were victims of false allegations in a video produced by James O'Keefe, the criminally convicted, right-wing activist best known for deceptively edited videos.
This past week presented a revealing lesson in contrast as to how different media enterprises deal differently with anchors and other editorial personnel who fail the test of principles that ought to govern all journalists.
CNN was put to the test this week when Roland Martin posted a Tweet that appeared to advocate violence against gays. Martin pointed out that it was not meant seriously and wasn't even directed at gays, but at the sport of soccer. Nevertheless, CNN acted quickly to suspend Martin indefinitely.
By contrast, Fox News contributor Liz Trotta delivered a commentary on Sunday berating women in the military for complaining that they get raped too much (Trotta did not define what an "acceptable" amount of rape is). The news that triggered this revolting commentary was a Pentagon report that rape and sexual assault had increased 64%, a statistic that Trotta cavalierly dismissed. She further asserted that servicewomen should "expect" to be raped because they work closely with men. Fox News has had no comment on this matter despite fierce criticism from women's groups and veterans offended by the assertion that male soldiers are innately animals and female soldiers should quietly accept assault as a part of military life.
These two examples illustrate the differences between a news enterprise that attempts to act responsibly and one that disregards such restraints in order to forge ahead with a sensationalistic approach and to pander to the scandal-lust of their viewers. CNN has faced this dilemma in the past by meting out punishments for ethical infractions to Lou Dobbs, Rick Sanchez, Octavia Nasr, Susan Roesgen, Peter Arnett, and Eason Jordan. MSNBC has done the same to Keith Olbermann, David Shuster, Mark Halperin, Markos Moulitsas, and Pat Buchanan. Some of these chastisements were warranted (Dobbs, Buchanan), and some were executions of petulant grudges (Markos), and CNN still inexplicably employs miscreants like Erick Erickson and Dana Loesch. So CNN and MSNBC should not necessarily be held up as models of morality. But at least there is some evidence of an internal criteria for ethical behavior of some sort.
Fox News, however, has yet to make any news staffer pay a price for professional indiscretions, despite the fact that things got so bad at Fox they had to distribute a memo asserting a "Zero Tolerance Policy" that warned of "letters to personnel files, suspensions, and other possible actions up to and including termination." The memo was issued after numerous, embarrassing on-air blunders by Fox reporters and producers. But rather than undergoing discipline, Fox News bent over backwards to reward reporters who behaved badly. In fact, while other networks were firing such violators, Fox seems to be on a mission to recruit them. For instance: Juan Williams, Don Imus, Doug McKelway, and Lou Dobbs were all put on the Fox payroll after having been terminated for cause at other networks. Even Glenn Beck who, while no longer hosting his own program, appears regularly with Bill O'Reilly and others.
Fox maintains a clubby environment for recalcitrant reporters, and there remains a full stable of them on the air. Here is a selection of some of the more obviously repulsive people that Fox News should have fired for their absence of morality and professionalism, but to date have not even had their wrists slapped. And make no mistake, the job security enjoyed by these weasels is not due to carelessness on the part of Fox News. Controversy, hostility, and rabid right-wing advocacy are the hallmarks of Fox's business model. It's how they cultivate and reward the loyalty of their audience. What other explanation could justify this:
Todd Starnes: Unsurprisingly, Fox News has smeared the Occupy Movement from its inception. They have disparaged them as everything from unfocused to unclean to un-American. But it took Starnes, the host of Fox News & Commentary on Fox Radio, to equate them to mass murderers by asking, "What should be done with the domestic terrorists who are occupying our cities and college campuses?" By comparing Occupiers to the likes of Timothy McVeigh, Starnes is engaging in rhetorical terrorism and insulting hundreds of thousands of concerned Americans.
Cody Willard: This Fox Business reporter brazenly exposed his bias when he attended a Tea Party rally and feverishly barked at the camera this call to arms against the U.S. government, "Guys, when are we going to wake up and start fighting the fascism that seems to be permeating this country?"
Andrew Napolitano: The "Judge" is a notorious 9/11 Truther who believes that the attack on the World Trade Center towers was an inside job, orchestrated by agents of the United States government. That's a position considered so crazy by Fox Newsers that it was instrumental in their campaign to get Van Jones fired from his post as a green jobs adviser to President Obama. But, in typical Foxian hypocrisy, it has no impact on the employment of Napolitano. [Note: The entire primetime schedule of the Fox Business Network, including Napolitano, Eric Bolling and David Asman, was recently canceled. But it was due to poor ratings, not content. And all remain active Fox News contributors.]
Bill Sammon: The Fox News Washington managing editor was recorded admitting to a friendly audience on a conservative cruise that he would go on air and "mischievously" cast Obama as a socialist even though he didn't believe it himself. In other words, he lied to defame the President and rile up his gullible viewers. That would be cause for termination at most news networks, but probably earned Sammon a bonus at Fox.
Eric Bolling: Hoping to sustain Fox's leadership in inappropriate Nazi references, Bolling accused President Obama of engaging in class warfare that was "forged in Marxist Germany." And if that wasn't asinine enough, he sided with Iran against the U.S. by accusing the American hikers who were held in an Iranian prison of being spies and said that Iran should have kept them.
Bill O'Reilly: Dr. George Tiller, a family physician in Kansas, was murdered by an anti-abortion extremist who may have been incited to violence by rhetoric like this from O'Reilly: "Now, we have bad news to report that Tiller the baby killer out in Kansas, acquitted. Acquitted today of murdering babies." O'Reilly regards the acquittal of a doctor for performing legal medical services "bad news," and the services themselves "murder." But he never took any responsibility for fanning the flames of violent incivility that led to the actual murder of Dr. Tiller.
Col. Ralph Peters (Ret): In a rant that argued that the United States should fight back against our enemies with the same tactics they use against us, Peters turned the media into military targets: "Although it seems unthinkable now, future wars may require censorship, news blackouts and, ultimately, military attacks on the partisan media. And like Bolling, Peters also took the side of our foes by suggesting, without evidence, that a missing American soldier was a deserter and that "the Taliban can save us a lot of legal hassles and legal bills," presumably by killing him.
Michael Scheuer: This former CIA analyst was concerned that the American people were not sufficiently afraid of future terrorist attacks. He regards that absence of fear as dangerous complacency. But he has a solution: "The only chance we have as a country right now is for Osama bin Laden to deploy and detonate a major weapon in the United States."
Roger Ailes: The CEO of Fox News proves that a fish stinks from its head. In response to NPR's firing of Juan Willimas for bigoted remarks about Muslims, Ailes let loose a tirade wherein he viciously attacked the NPR executives saying that… "They are, of course, Nazis. They have a kind of Nazi attitude. They are the left wing of Nazism."
Liz Trotta: Ending up where we began, this abhorrent attempt at comedy simply could not be left off of this list. What started out as a verbal stumble became a call for assassination when Trotta said, "Now we have what some are reading as a suggestion that somebody knock off Osama, umm, Obama. Well, both if we could."
It's difficult to believe that anyone could retain a job in the media after making statements like those above. These were not mistakes or misunderstandings. They are not out of context. They were considered, deliberate expressions of opinion that represented the reporter's views at the time. Yet all of these people are still employed and active at Fox News.
To be fair, there is an example of Fox News firing reporters who crossed a line that even Fox could not abide. Steve Wilson and Jane Akre investigated a story that detailed the health risks posed by the use of recombinant bovine growth hormone (rBGH), a milk additive manufactured by chemical giant Monsanto. Fox objected to the story's negative portrayal of a major advertiser and ordered the reporters to make modifications that they knew were false. When the reporters refused they were fired. In the subsequent litigation Fox argued in court that the network had a right to determine the content of their stories, and even to lie, and that employees who declined to comply could be terminated as insubordinate.
So while Fox News has no problem with their analysts advocating terrorism against Americans, they draw the line when it comes to suppressing their Constitutional right to lie. Fox has taken great care to set their priorities and to draw their ethical lines in sand that is always under the prevailing tide.
[Update] This week racist Pat Buchanan was sacked by MSNBC and radio schlock jocks John & Ken were suspended for calling Whitney Houston a "crack ho". But Liz Trotta, Eric Bolling, et al are still happily working at Fox.

BWAAAAAAAAA!!!! You big crybaby. Grow the hell up. Go back to school and learn what context and comprehension.
Come back when you know what the hell your talking about.

"Go back to school and learn what context and comprehension."
Ummm…oh, never mind. Do you have an example of my not knowing what I'm talking about, or do you just enjoy whining?
Sammy on 2/16/2012
People who don't know "your" from "you're" should not lecture others on comprehension. Or school.

Mark, you forgot habitual liar sean kkklannity. That idiot should have been fired years ago.

Obviously it's you who should go back to school and do some learning. It's you're, not your, dimwit.
Oh crap. I stole your comment without realizing it.

There's a tacit assumption that runs throughout the article, and it's that Fox News Channel is a television news service, or is engaged in television's version of journalism.
I'm not under that assumption myself, and so therefore it doesn't surprise me that News Corp would not fire or reprimand anyone in their employ for doing anything that would otherwise be considered reprehensible or unethical by a journalistic standard.
As a matter of fact, News Corp not acting in this manner, just seems to confirm they are not at all truly in the business of news or television journalism, rather than confirm they are lax or sloppy or even unethical in that business.
Fox News Channel is exclusively engaged in political advocacy, under the guise of being a news organization… it is no different than a lobbying firm being sensitive to the reputation of lobbyists, and so therefore deciding to call themselves "media" so as to better get their foot in the door.
By the way, Fox News Channel routinely airs commentary from lobbyists without ever identifying them as such (they're usually identified as "analysts" of some sort), they are routinely and constantly lobbying the American people via the television and on behalf of certain industries and all things Republican, and so that further proves they are not even in the news or television journalism business.
As far their political advocacy goes, it is mostly just manifest suspicion and hatred of all things done or proposed by the Obama administration, in an effort to undermine the American people's faith as much as possible, in that decisively democratically elected administration.
Likewise anything and everything done by the Democratic delegation in Congress.
Where's anything journalistic in that?
It's political advocacy, pure and simple… and as far as the people listed not being reprimanded or fired, for the slander and insults and hatred they hurl daily and hourly while on the job at Fox News Channel, I say that is their job, and as such, the very reasons cited for which they would otherwise be fired if in the business of journalism, they instead are probably all in line for raises and promotions News Corp and Fox News Channel.
I can't argue with any of that, except to say that, as long as they have "news" in their name, they need to be challenged on those grounds. If they changed their name to GOP-TV it would be whole different thing.
Benny on 2/16/2012
Not only "news"…don't forget the "fair and balanced" and the "we report,you decide" little things.
Eykis on 2/17/2012
Dem,
I read News Corpse but generally do not comment.
That is one of the absolutely best descriptions of Faux Noise that I've read……….thank you for the truth, your expressed it very well.
Richard on 2/18/2012
I try to listen to many different stations to make sure I am getting the most accurate news available. There are times when Hannity and others state their opinion that I don't agree with, but it's just an opinion. He is not a journalist reporting on hard news. It's an opinion show. Just as Hardball with Chris Matthews and Al Sharpton's show, which, i might add, is far more biased. They are alwasy bashing republicans. Is that right? I guess it is if you think they are wrong. Before you whine about Fox News. listen to the shows You think are telling the truth. The vitriol and hatred they spew is far worse than anything I've ever heard Fox News say. People always hear what they want. Listen to the letters O'Reilly reads at the end of his show. Half will say he loves a candidate, the other half claims he hates the same candidate.Don't judge based on a part of a story you read on Media Matters or Huffington Post. It's obvious who they always root for.
Did you even read this article?
Nothing I've said above is directed merely to people with whom I disagree. The examples above are not of positions on issues that I disagree with. They are offensive remarks that demonize people or advocate violence. There's a huge difference.
But the larger point I am making is that, when lines of decency and civility are crossed (something both sides are capable of), the other networks have taken steps to punish the offender. Fox News either ignores or rewards them. That is the point.

dont watch fox if you think their bogus…it's that easy! tune into msnbc.

Great article Now thats what I call "Fair and Blanced" you decide

All you have to do is read what what written by Obama's team as he ran for his first term. Then you will find what the underdog does to win, and since it is a given that the liberal media is the largest institution dispensing the so called facts of any matter you choose to discuss (they love the Obamster), it is no wonder dissenting opinions are castigated to the fullest extent possible. No media outlet or pundit of either side may at any time claim the high ground. That is not their intent . Their intent is only to sway opinion to those people out there who do not have the brains to sift the wheat from the chaff.

The Ugly History of Forced Sterilization
A former nurse at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center has alleged that hysterectomies are being performed on detainees without informed consent. The problem of medical care within prison environments is always a difficult one, as it's not clear that meaningful consent can ever be assured under such vulnerable conditions. (Does the prisoner fear punishment or worse if they don't go along with the procedure?) Yet, denying potentially lifesaving medical interventions is also clearly an egregious abuse of power. The only clear solution to this problem is to take ten giant steps back on the process of incarcerating (or "detaining") people who do not present an imminent threat to others, starting with those being held for nonviolent offenses.
The possibility that detained women are being given unnecessary hysterectomies particularly raises the hackles because of the United States' history of forced sterilizations. An estimated 70,000 people were sterilized in the United States between roughly 1907 and the mid-1980s. This was usually based on a determination that they were "diseased" in some way, including by being mentally or physically handicapped, and that therefore the powers that be were justified in preventing them from having children. Not surprisingly, racial and ethnic minorities, people living in poverty, and women deemed promiscuous were particular targets.
The best book I know of on the policies and beliefs that enabled this disturbing practice is Thomas Leonard's book on the history of eugenics, Illiberal Reformers: Race, Eugenics, and American Economics in the Progressive Era. Eugenics is often confused with Darwinism, but in fact is almost the opposite. Darwinian natural selection is a scientific theory that predicts that genetic traits that are more supportive of survival and reproduction than others will be more likely to be passed on. Eugenics is a political belief that as societies become wealthier, they will need to take an active role in discouraging the survival of "deficient" people in order to prevent the reproduction of mental and physical weaknesses. The view that western European ancestry was a genetic trait worth protecting was a shockingly popular motivation behind a great number of policy decisions in the early 20th century, including minimum wage (to disemploy minorities and lower classes), restrictions on women's work (to prevent white women from working instead of raising children), and—most germane to this latest ICE scandal—immigration quotas and controls (designed to keep out people from Asia and the "undesirable" parts of Europe, including Italy, Poland, Hungary, Russia, Greece, and pretty much anywhere with a sizable Jewish population).
And when I say eugenics was popular, I mean popular. Eugenics was a fashionable belief considered to be based on the latest science. U.S. Presidents (including Teddy Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, and Woodrow Wilson), Supreme Court Justices, prominent intellectuals, progressive activists, and industrialists alike believed in and even advocated for some form of eugenics. It was a matter that crossed the political aisle, uniting conservatives and progressives in a stunning display of illiberality. There are disturbing quotes throughout the book, but perhaps one of the most shocking comes from novelist D.H. Lawrence, who wrote in a personal letter,
"If I had my way, I would build a lethal chamber as big as the Crystal Palace, with a military band playing softly, and a Cinematograph working brightly, and then I'd go out in back streets and main streets and bring them all in, all the sick, the halt, and the maimed; I would lead them gently, and they would smile at me" (p. 114).
Further, dissent wasn't easy. Leonard recounts one geneticist having an offer to join the Harvard faculty pulled because he came out against eugenics (p. 111-12). The economist Irving Fisher compared denying the truth of eugenics to denying that the earth orbits the sun (p. 113). Notice that all these example are from just a few pages of Leonard's book, which is slim but stuffed with evidence.
The history of forced sterilization is a cautionary tale for so many reasons. But an underappreciated lesson to take from this episode in history is that even a comfortable, popular belief can over time come to be recognized as deeply flawed, even inhumane. Many otherwise intelligent people were carried away by bad science, bigotry, or a combination of the two. This is an important reminder of the fallibility of scientific consensus and the dangers of using science to justify social control. I can't think of a single instance where the judgment of history came down on the side of those who were treating any group of people as less worthy of rights, dignity, and respect because the "science" said so.
It's unfortunately easy to neglect basic human rights in the area of immigration policy. People who are in a country but lack access to whatever rights and judicial protections otherwise enable people to defend themselves from political abuse are always vulnerable. This means that even if these hysterectomies are coming from a single bad actor, this is exactly the environment where we would expect that person to be able to do damage.
In addition to Leonard's book, here is another set of useful readings if you'd like to learn more about the history of eugenics. I would also highly recommend Sandra Peart and Daniel Levy's Escape from Democracy: The Role of Experts and the Public in Economic Policy, in which the eugenics movement is offered as one of many examples of the disastrous results of expert-driven social control.
