Dangerous Uncertainty in Pakistan
Junaid S. Ahmad
With relations between Pakistan's civilian government and military incredibly tense, speculation is ripe in the local and international media that the threat of a military takeover looms large. The military is allegedly buoyed by the support of the Supreme Court and the country's business and political elite. It seems that the days of Asif Ali Zardari's Pakistan People's Party (PPP)-led coalition government are numbered.
The tensions reached their tipping point on January 11th when Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani alleged that the Pakistan Army and its intelligence agency, Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), were unlawfully interfering in a controversial court case involving the government. This essentially amounted to accusing the heads of the army of defying the constitution and the democratically elected government. The military was quick to retort that there would be "very serious ramifications" and "grievous consequences" if the government continued its confrontational posturing.
Later that day, the Prime Minister again found himself on the receiving end of the ire of the army when he sacked the Defense Secretary, retired General Nareem Khalid Lodhi. The Defense Secretary is a pivotal position since the person acts as the liaison between the military and the government. Mr. Lodhi was also a very close confidante of Pakistan's Chief of Armed Services, General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani.
Mr. Lodhi's dismissal stemmed from his support of the military in the "memogate" case. This court case revolves around the scandal that emerged from a memo written to the US Joint Chiefs of Staff in the aftermath of the illegal raid by American forces at Osama Bin Laden's hideout in the city of Abbottabad. The memo sought the help of the US government in order to topple the military leadership and to replace it with personnel that would be compliant with the wishes of the US. While the authenticity of the memo remains moot, its implications for the already volatile political landscape of Pakistan were explosive. Since the memo was made public, the government has been under severe fire, leading to a petition filed in the Supreme Court regarding the matter.
A clash of institutions followed where the PPP government tried to deal with the crisis internally, via a parliamentary committee to investigate the matter, but was sidestepped by the Supreme Court which decided to take matters into their own hands. The leader of the opposition party, Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N), filed a petition to the Supreme Court, which in turn claimed jurisdiction over the matter. The court enjoys the full support of the army leadership, as both Kayani and Lieutenant-General Ahmed Pasha, the Director-General of ISI, have filed briefs with the Supreme Court that support the court's jurisdiction. The military's indignation is not only rooted in their belief that the memo is treasonous but that it will severely dent the morale of the armed forces.
Hypocritical military
The ire of the military seems hypocritical since the military itself has for decades been in cahoots with Washington. It has been involved in proxy wars in Asia, especially in the Middle East, in exchange for the backing of the US. This US support has allowed the military to maintain its hegemonic position in Pakistani politics, as the US lent its full support to several military coups and dictatorships.
The Supreme Court's confrontation with the government started well before the memo case, however. The Court, in recent weeks, has demanded that the government petition Switzerland regarding the reopening of corruption cases potentially implicating President Zardari. This National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) case, as it is known, is another cause for concern for the civilian government. The Supreme Court delivered a historic judgment in the case which withdrew immunity of thousands of politicians, including President Zardari. This effectively enables the courts to entertain corruption proceedings regarding government officials and politicians. The courts and the government have been at loggerheads over the government's repeated assertion that the President enjoys constitutional immunity.
The Supreme Court made its intentions clear when it severely chastised Prime Minister Gilani regarding his failure to reopen the Swiss case. It also warned that he could be stripped of his title as Prime Minister if he continued to defy the Court. The Court went as far as to say that because Gilani has knowingly disobeyed the court and put his "party over the constitution", "prima facie … he may not be an honest person on account of this not being honest to the oath of office."
While Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Iftikthar Muhammad Chaudhry has vocally proclaimed that the days of the Supreme Court rubberstamping the actions of the army are over, it seems that the Court has, intentionally or unintentionally, been providing judicial cover for another possible military take-over.
There is no denying that the NRO was an all-out unconstitutional and undemocratic document. It was the product of the Bush administration's desperate attempt to broker a deal between then-President Musharraf and the PPP in order to ensure the reelection of the US-friendly Musharraf. However, the Court's persistent pursuit of the NRO case is contradictory. While it has been more than happy to implicate politicians, and rightfully so, it has made no attempt to prosecute those in the military and bureaucracy who doctored the 1999 coup that brought Musharraf to power.
American pressure
The failure of the government to combat economic woes, exacerbated by IMF-imposed austerity measures and the 'AfPak' war, has strengthened the military's hand significantly. However, the PPP government's ineptitude is not the only reason for the military's latest intervention in Pakistani politics. Increased American pressure on Pakistan to "do more", coupled with mass opposition to US foreign policy, has pushed the army to make sure it exercises untrammeled control over Pakistan's relations with Washington.
The Pakistani elite also fear that the current government lacks the legitimacy and the ability to institute economic restructuring needed to win the confidence of the IMF and foreign investors. Furthermore, the Pakistani elite seem to be exasperated by the PPP government's monopoly over corruption and patronage. This is a chronic disposition amongst Pakistan's oligarchs, who feel that when a government is "too corrupt" its appetites need to be tamed and other elites need to retrieve their 'fair share' of the pie.
The PPP, it should be remembered, did not wholeheartedly back the mass protests against the dictatorship of President Musharraf, as its former slain leader Benazir Bhutto felt that the feelings of discontent would escape the party's control and be directed against the Pakistani elite. This prompted the PPP to instead approach President Bush directly in order to convince him that the PPP would be a more suitable ally in the 'War on Terror.'
Both the civilian government and the military high command are eager for cordial relations with the US. The alliance has been the bedrock of the geopolitical and class strategy of Pakistani rulers for the past six decades. These interests, however, have been undercut due to the mass antagonism to US imperialism. The increasingly deteriorating ties between the civilian government and the army have also acted as a roadblock for a united foreign policy from the Pakistani establishment.
Since coming to power, the PPP government has bent over backwards to please Washington, proving it is more pliant to US demands than the military or any other political party. However, it seems that the American government has not returned the favor. While it pays lip-service to the need for a democratic government, it continues to privilege the military as a key player in Pakistani politics, prompting the US to talk exclusively to the military top brass in major strategic discussions.
While US Secretary of State Hilary Clinton stated that the Obama administration was concerned with the political developments unfolding in Pakistan and voiced support for a "democratically elected civilian government" in Pakistan, it is doing nothing to stem the tide against the government. The writing is on the wall as the courts and military, under the garb of constitutionality, push for the need for a transition to a supposedly "more representative government."
Drone war
As Pakistan swims in perennial uncertainty, the US is launching drone strikes in Pakistan's tribal areas. This resumption of attacks comes after the NATO attack on a Pakistani military check-post in November, taking 26 lives. Following the uproar in Pakistan, the Pentagon conceded to the fact that errors were made, yet remained unapologetic about the attack – claiming it was justified under "self-defense". The failure of the Obama administration to specify who was being targeted with the drone strikes brings home the fact that this is "business as usual" and that Pakistani sovereignty was subservient to the routine predatory interests of the US.
The drone attacks came after the New York Times published a report that claimed that the Taliban and Al-Qaeda, among other insurgent groups, had been bolstered by the halt in American drone strikes. The article concluded that that the break provided an opportunity for a coalition between the Taliban and sympathetic militias based in Pakistan's tribal areas. Furthermore, it was claimed that the hiatus opened the door for a peace deal between the Taliban and the Pakistani government.
This article – and the larger imperial discourse it feeds into – acted as the perfect pretext for the US military-security establishment to push forward their bellicose agenda over and above those in the Obama administration, who were attempting to rebuild some trust with Islamabad.
While American security interests continue to justify the drone attacks as an efficient way of removing "terrorists", the horrific human cost of the strikes is lost on the corporate media. The lack of any sense of morality or empathy is perfectly encapsulated in the impersonal nature of the attacks. Hundreds, if not thousands, of innocent villagers have lost their lives due to these assaults. The rate and intensity of the attacks can be gleaned from the report by the pro-US "Long War" website, which conservatively estimates that US forces carried out more than 180 drone missile strikes in Pakistan in 2010 and 2011.
Whether Obama has brought "change" to America is uncertain. But he certainly brought change to Pakistan – for the worse.

Where I've Been and Independence Update!
Wowza! I've been off the blog for over a week – it's been a mad house around here! What with the teething and growing and friends over for dinner and getting all set for the holidays, plus prepping to do my student teaching! Yikes!
So there's nothing in the Plant Something, and only eggs in the Harvest Something category. Does any one know if it is too late to put garlic in the ground? We've wanted to do this, but have kept putting it off and now it might be too late??
We did pick up our hog (well, only half a hog this fall) last week. We split it with Dave the Dentist, and so maybe that counts as Want Not/Prep & Storage or Build Community Food Systems?? Since we didn't harvest anything new, there was nothing to Preserve. Wait, no, I take that back. We did boil a turkey carcass to death, so we preserved some turkey stock (which is delicious!).
Waste Not – well, compost and recycling, of course, and we are still mucking about with the pallets Rick brought home for the new bins we want to make. Rick brought home a piece of drywall that was to be cast off at work (they're remodeling his office), to replace a damaged piece in our basement junk room. Also, found a couple of cute uses for scrap fabric that have been transformed into Christmas gifts.
Eat the Food – ah, food. The one category that never fails me. I always eat! So this week, we are making green bean casserole from beans we froze, and chardonnay glazed carrots from the sweet carrots of the late summer/early fall. And mashed potatoes from the spuds stored down in the basement. Yum. Yes, we are hosting Thanksgiving dinner. I plan to break out the home-made dill pickles and watermelon rind pickles for snacks while the turkey roasts.
Rinse and drain cranberries. In a large sauce pan, add cranberries, sugar, orange peel and water. Over medium-high heat, bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let simmer 15 minutes. Add rosemary sprigs and simmer 5-10 minutes more. Remove from heat, and stir in orange juice. Let cool, cover and refrigerate for up to a week. To serve, bring to room temperature and remove rosemary, garnish with a fresh rosemary sprig.
So that catches up the Independence Days. Happy Thanksgiving Day to you!
Welcome back! I'm a regular garlic planter and here in KS it (generally) would be too late to plant garlic. That being said, if you have a micro-climate spot of your garden/yard that tends to be warmer (lots of sunshine and somewhat protected from winds) you could give it a try. Just be sure to mulch w/ straw whenever the temp is below 38 degrees or so. Ideally, garlic should be able to get to a height of 5 or so inches before the mulch has to stay on permanently for the cold/snowy months. Good luck on all your endeavors!

New Rokinon 14mm lens is world's first Autofocus 14mm RF mount prime
Rokinon has announced the new 14mm F2.8 Full Frame Ultra-Wide lens. Made for Canon RF mount, this lens claims to be the world's first RF-compatible autofocus prime.
According to the press release, the lens has a 113.9-degree ultra-wide-angle view, which is said to be the widest for any autofocus prime lens made for the Canon R series mirrorless cameras. Additionally, Rokinon promises that the AF 14mm will offer "high performance, value, and affordability."
Right now, Canon R series cameras are forced to use an EF/EFS with a costly mount adapter to be able to use an autofocusing ultra-wide-angle prime lens. Often times, all this becomes heavy for a mirrorless camera. The new Autofocus 14mm has a shorter length of the flange back to reduce its length and weight. The drop in size should allow for faster and quieter AF performance.

In a journey that started with us leaving Nottingham over seven months ago, it's been the topic that's closest to everyone's lips.
Buenos Aires we didn't tell them that!
We went to watch a game in Argentina and they are so fanatical that away supporters aren't allowed in the grounds. It's bedlam even without them!
Strange then that the country has only recently fallen in love with its star asset, Lionel Messi. Talk to any Argentinean and they will deny this, but in 2012 (the year he won the FIFA Ballon d'Or for the third time in a row) he came only third in their sports personality of the year competition behind a taekwondo fighter!
The nation loves Tevez, but he's not on the plane. If it starts badly for them you'll, no doubt, hear calls for him. We happened to be in Uruguay when the group draw was made. The local gauchos at the estancia where we were staying had a right chuckle over their chorizo when England were drawn in the group described as 'grupo de la muerte' (group of death).
As a lad from Arnold, I wondered how a nation of just three million could have won the World Cup twice and have such a great team now. I don't wonder anymore.
On every corner of every street from Montevideo to Punta del Diablo is a gang of kids kicking a ball around. The Uruguayan's we met have a likeable, quiet confidence in their nation.
Their team having a real possibility of being drawn against Brazil in the latter stages, a rematch of the last World Cup final at the Maracanã in 1950 – which the underdogs won and the hosts have never lived down. Will history be repeated?
Mmm… I'm not penciling that in on my World Cup predictions but they are playing with a real flare and feature one of Nottingham's only links to the World Cup; recently departed Forest player Gonzalo Jara.
As we arrived in Peru and Bolivia we hit two countries that are to be starved of competition football as the tournament rattles away at their borders. To the Peruvians – particularly – it's the same as a World Cup being held in England but Scotland not qualifying (oh yeah – that happen once upon a time too).
Despite their absence, from La Paz to Lima they have been madly gearing up with every restaurant and bar seemingly installing new flat screen TVs and World Cup trimmings, even a cardboard Maradonna at one!
And so to answer the question on everyone's lips. Are we going to Brazil? …Yes we are!
In fact, we arrived in Brazil a few days ago to an onslaught of marketing and hostels brimming with fans making their way around the sights before the tournament starts, lots of Australians, Americans and loads of travelling fans from the other South American representatives – Colombia.
Strangely though the Brazilians we've met seem a little laid back about it all – exactly the impression we have of them back home. I'm sure they'll get more excitable as kick off approaches though. Our first game is in Cuiaba – deep in the Brazilian Pantanal.
It's going to be 35 degrees, ridiculously humid and full of bonkers Chileans and boozed up Aussies. The stadium is apparently now finished, which is good news!
But due to the lack of accommodation in the city we are camping in someone's back garden – apparently there's a swimming pool though. Oh the joys of the World Cup!

Harvard Experts Compare Wireless to Tobacco
Skeptical?
Check out what Harvard Doctors state.
The Harvard Edmund J. Safra Center for Ethics just published an expose on how our federal government has ignored wireless health risks.
In Captured Agency: How the Federal Communications Commission is Dominated by the Industries it Presumably Regulates investigative reporter Norm Alster details how "consumer safety, health, and privacy, along with consumer wallets, have all been overlooked, sacrificed, or raided due to unchecked industry influence".
On The FCC, "Remarkably, it has not changed course despite the IARC classification of cell phones as possibly carcinogenic, despite the recent studies showing triple the glioma risk for heavy users, despite the floodtide of research showing biological effects, and despite even the recent defection of core industry booster Alex Lerchl. "
"It is the refusal of both industry and the FCC to even acknowledge this cascade of warning signs that seems most incriminating. Of course, industry behavior goes well beyond pushing for the FCC's willful ignorance and inaction. Industry behavior also includes self-serving public relations and hyper aggressive legal action. It can also involve undermining the credibility of and cutting off the funding for researchers who do not endorse cellular safety…."
"It is these hardball tactics that recall 20th century Big Tobacco tactics."

"You could compare it to passive smoking"
Dr. Franz Adlkofer at the Harvard Law Center for Ethics Lecture in 2011 discusses how he was unjustly accused of scientific fraud for his REFLEX study findings that cell phone radiation damages DNA. In this lecture he describes the institutional corruption and Industry involvement that led to accusations that his work was fraudulent.
He was later exonerated and the accusations entirely dismissed by an ethics panel after an investigation showed that these accusations were unfounded. Listen to him describe the results of his research here in 2010.
Please watch the video of his lecture at Harvard here . Please note he is introduced by top Harvard law professor Lawrence Lessig. Dr. Adkofer compares the biological impact to tobacco at one hour 22 minutes (1:22:00). You can hear him talk about wireless routers right after. Watch the video of his lecture at Harvard.
Harvard Law Professor Lawrence Lessig is pro-bono representing Berkeley in their Cell Phone Right to Know Case after the Wireless Industry sued the city.

Retired World Health Organization Director States Wireless Has Health Effects
Retired World Health Organization General-Director Dr. Gro Harlem Brundtland
"Wireless Technology has Health Effects There is no Doubt "
On Friday the 14th of August 2015, retired World Health Organization General-Director and Prime Minister of Norway, Dr. Gro Harlem Brundtland was interviewed by the Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten. One of the issues raised in the interview was her current thoughts on wireless radiation. Her statement was crystal clear.
Why are so many retired officials speaking out on this?
The former CDC Director Dr. Christopher Portier also spoke out on this two months ago.
He presented "The Precautionary Principle Should be Invoked for RF-EMF" at a conference.
Dr Portier was Director of the National Center for Environmental Health and the US Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry at CDC. Prior to his work at CDC, Dr. Portier was the Associate Director of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences at NIH and Associate Director of the National Toxicology Program. Dr. Portier served as the CDC expert on the 31-member IARC expert working group that declared radiofrequency wireless radiation "possibly carcinogenic" to humans in 2011. Read More

Breaking: 8/12/2015 Federal complaint seeks injunctive relief for violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act and damages for breach of contract and negligence.
Parents Call For the Removal of the Wi-Fi System at Massachusetts School.
Please Download the Filed Complaint HERE.
After more robust School Wi-Fi was installed in Spring 2013, a 12 year old boy started to experience troubling symptoms, which he reported to his parents when he came home from school. These included severe headaches, itchy skin, and rashes. The school nurse indicated that various children in the same classes were reporting increased headaches, dizziness, nausea and chest pressure. The symptoms were present whenever he was at school.
Key Points in the Complaint:
The child was diagnosed with Electrical Hypersensitivity (EHS) after several tests. The complaint cites the symptoms of EHS from wireless exposure as "severe headaches, fatigue, stress, sleep disturbances, skin symptoms such as prickling, burning sensations and rashes, muscle aches, nausea, nose bleeds, dizziness and heart palpitations. Parents brought the issue to the schools attention.
The school instructed the nurse that legally they are not obligated to be concerned about Wi-Fi radiation even though other children were having similar symptoms.
According to the the United States Access Board "Measures taken to improve indoor environmental quality, such as reducing air pollution, noise and electromagnetic fields in buildings, will increase their accessibility for people with asthma and/or electromagnetic sensitivities, as well as provide a more healthful environment for all building occupants."
The complaint states that the school has failed to provide reasonable accommodations for the child as required by the ADA.
"According to the Americans with Disabilities Act and other disability laws, public and commercial buildings are required to provide reasonable accommodations for those disabled by chemical and/or electromagnetic sensitivities."
The parents offered to pay themselves for non-disruptive accommodations such as hardwiring the internet with ethernet connections and the school declined.
The school insisted that the Wi-Fi system complies with Federal Communication Commission ("FCC") radiofrequency radiation guidelines adopted in 1996 despite the EPA clarifying that such regulations do not apply to long-term Wi-Fi exposures in schools.
The Fay Board of Trustees received four letters from scientific experts in electromagnetic fields.
"I must, as a public health physician, advise minimizing these exposures as much as possible. Indications are that cell phones and wireless technologies may turn out to be a serious public health issue, comparable to tobacco, asbestos, DDT, PCBs, pesticides and lead paint, or possibly worse given the ubiquitous nature of the exposures."
-Dr. Carpentar, Director, Institute for Health and the Environment, University of Albany
Compliance with FCC guidelines, thus, unfortunately, is not in any way an assurance of safety today, as the guidelines are fundamentally flawed. Until the guidelines and
advisories in the U.S. are updated, the intelligent thing for your Board of Trustees to do is to exercise the Precautionary Principle and hard wire all internet connections.
- Dr. Martin Blank, Columbia University
"We know that the heart is sensitive to and can be adversely affected by the same frequency used for Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz) at levels a fraction of federal guidelines (less than1%) and at levels that have been recorded in two Ontario schools with Wi-Fi technology. "
-Dr. Stephen T. Sinatra, Cardiologist. M.D., F.A.C.C, F.A.C.N., C.N.S
"Radiation of the kind emitted by WiFi transmitters impacts attention, memory, perception, learningcapacity, energy, emotions andsocial skills. Thereisalsodiminished reactiontime, decreased motor function, increased distraction, hyperactivity, and inability to focus on complex and long-term tasks. In some situations, children experience cardiac difficulties. "

Boston Parents Newspaper: Is School Wi-Fi Safe?
Putting EMF exposure on your radar of potential health risks.
by Brian Spero
See the article online at Boston Parents HERE
A primary responsibility of being a parent is diligently protecting the safety and well-being of your children. We spend a lot of time teaching our kids techniques for navigating dangerous situations, scrutinizing the individuals and institutions we temporarily entrust them to, showing them how to eat right, looking after their personal hygiene and so on. When it comes to a rising new concern that could potentially contribute to a host of health complications, we owe it to ourselves, and our kids, to listen and learn.
Electromagnetic fields (EMF) are a form of radiation or invisible area of energy associated with the modern use of electrical power. Common sources of EMF radiation include power lines, computers, cell phones and wireless Internet (Wi-Fi) networks. While most of us over the years have probably heard rumblings of the possibilities of negative health effects attributed to high levels of exposure to EMFs, little definitive word has reached the mainstream stamping it as a legitimate concern. But in a world in which experts estimate we encounter 100 million times the exposure to artificial EMF radiation than our grandparents did, there's never been a more critical time to take a closer look.
A Voice of Warning
One person who has been fighting to get the word out about pervasive negative health implications relating to EMFs and Wi-Fi in schools is Camilla Rees. An investment banker by trade, Rees realized she has a particular sensitivity to EMFs about seven years ago. Since then, she's dedicated herself to learning as much as possible about the science and research regarding EMF exposure and relating the facts in everyday terms people can understand, founding electromagnetichealth.org along the way.
"It's hard once you know something that is very important happening to society to turn a blind eye to it," says Rees, who feels certain EMF radiation poses a threat. "You have to ethically move to educate people, raise awareness and try to move things in the right direction." And with institutions ranging from daycare centers and grammar schools all the way up to colleges and universities racing to remain on the cutting edge by upgrading to campus-wide, industrial strength Wi-Fi, there's a growing number of concerned individuals desperate to get to the truth.
What We Know About EMFs
According to Rees, the first thing to understand about this complex and often controversial topic is radio frequency radiation is biologically active. "We know for certain, it's absolutely unquestionable," she says, citing more than 20,000 studies.
"We think of ourselves as solid beings, but we're actually electromagnetic," Rees explains. "And when there's an energy source that's more powerful than the delicate balance in our bodies, it causes disruptions. So as a result, you're going to see every system potentially being affected."
From cancer risks and behavioral changes to cardiovascular irregularities and sleep disorders, Rees offers a laundry list of related concerns that includes many of the most prevalent medical conditions plaguing our society. "Chronic illnesses have skyrocketed since the mid-1990s when all this technology started to proliferate," says Rees.
Martha Herbert, an assistant professor of neurology at Harvard Medical School and a pediatric neurologist and neuroscientist at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, contributed an article to the Autism Notebook Spring 2015 edition, titled "Connections in Our Environment: Sizing up Electromagnetic Fields," in which she details documented parallel issues that occur in cases of EMF exposure and autism. "There is a whole series of problems at the cellular, sub-cellular and metabolic levels and immune levels that have been identified in autism. And interestingly, for every single one of those problems, there's literature about how EMFs can create those kinds of problems," says Herbert. "The argument I made is not that it proves EMF causes autism, but that EMF can certainly contribute to degrading the physiological integrity of the system at the cellular and molecular level."
She sees this type of radio frequency radiation as yet another element encountered in modern life, along with toxic chemicals, air pollution, stress, poor sleep and pro-inflammatory foods, which serve to degrade our health.
Why Is Wi-Fi in Schools Worse?
One might wonder why should I worry more about Wi-Fi in schools when radio frequency radiation today is pretty much everywhere? Rees would answer the growing levels of EMF exposure in everyday life is, in fact, a reality all of us will sooner or later need to confront. However, its persistent presence in schools, among children at the developmental stages who are most vulnerable to all forms of toxic exposures, is the first ingredient in a recipe for a perfect storm.
The second lies in the fact that industrial-strength Wi-Fi routers schools typically use are much more powerful than the ones you find at home. "These 5GHz routers are designed to go through cement, brick and to cover the campus, too," says Rees, adding they're also higher wattage and configured to be able to serve hundreds of users simultaneously.
Finally, there's what Rees describes as the continuous exposures and cumulative, chronic effect of being bathed in EMF radiation eight hours a day, five days a week, 10 months a year. "This beautifully balanced body we have is being pushed by this outside energy source that's perceived as a stressor. Your body needs to rebalance, it needs to rest and repair," she says.
Rees points to studies confirming students and teachers experiencing signs of chronic electro-sensitivity ranging from fatigue, headaches and irritability to visual disruption, depression, dizziness and nausea. Says Rees, "There's just a lot of cognitive and physical fatigue and therefore it impairs learning. How can someone really learn or teach in an environment where their head feels fuzzy and foggy and their reflexes are slow?"
Herbert says high levels of EMF exposure make us all, but especially children, less resilient and more vulnerable. "(Kids) don't need any more extra stressors in their system. When they're more stressed, they will probably be less attentive, more likely to have behavioral outbursts, learn less well and possibly get sicker depending on their vulnerabilities," she says. "But no matter what resilience you have, it's still eating away at your resources. Nobody is immune from EMF."
Why Isn't More Being Done?
Rees contends in many cases schools across the country are in denial about the negative effects of EMFs. She says they're relying on the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) to give them the green light, which it recently did in what Rees describes as a woefully inadequate report. She wrote a scathing critique of it, maintaining that the report was poorly researched and dismissive of the facts.
"Everybody has been sold a bill of goods," says Rees. "There's been so much publicity and promotion and propaganda about how exciting technology is and how it's so good for learning. But a lot of that isn't true. And a lot of that is just marketing." Herbert agrees, pointing to the increasing learning troubles children today exhibit in schools. "We think we're putting in all these Wi-Fi devices so they can learn better, but you're giving with one hand and taking away with the other," she says.
Rees believes schools don't want to go against the grain or admit they might have been wrong, especially when they just raised money to put in Wi-Fi and have to go back to donors acknowledging it was a bad choice. However, she says there are many countries around the world and a growing movement here in the U.S. taking steps to protect children from EMF radiation. From a hard-won ordinance recently passed in Berkeley, California, demanding electronics retailers warn customers of potential health risks associated with cell phone radiation to groups of parents organizing locally across the nation, voices of concern are starting to be heard.
Rees urges parents to band together and request schools do a thorough evaluation of the research and look at what the science is really saying. "There's a hunger for the truth on this issue," says Rees enthusiastically.
In the meantime, Herbert believes it's crucial to take steps to combat the effects of intense, prolonged EMF exposure. "All of these things are wearing us down and unless you take measures to reduce what's wearing you down and increase the protections of what you're doing, you're getting unnecessary exposures." As a proactive approach, she advises families to eat healthy diets of fresh fruits and vegetables, turn off cell phones and Wi-Fi when not in use and unplug all non-essential electronic appliances before going to bed.
Herbert says in many cases children experiencing symptoms have made impressive turnarounds after detoxifying from EMF exposure. "When you give the cells a break from the unremitting stress, they can actually bound back and have better functioning, better behavior, better learning and a lot less setbacks and meltdowns."
Rees says turning off cell phones in the schools and connecting computers to the Internet through Ethernet cables would be a major step forward, even if it might present some initial design challenges. "Not only is it safer – it's a faster connection, it's more pure," she says. "There's absolutely no reason to have these kinds of transmitters blanketing people with radiation."
10 Elements of an Electromagnetically Clean and Conscious School
Read on for Rees' top 10 tips for schools serious about reducing EMF exposure. A more detailed list can be found at tinyurl.com/o57jpph.
1. Use hard-wired cable or fiber optic communications networks, replacing over-the-air Wi-Fi transmissions.
2. Install workstations with Ethernet connections available throughout the school for laptop Internet access.
3. Teach students and school personnel to disable Wi-Fi functionality on laptops and personal devices and remove wireless "smart boards."
4. Institute a "No Cell Phone" policy on campus, including personal hotspot devices.
5. Hard-wire computer peripherals such as mice, keyboards, speakers, monitors and other accessories.
6. Hard-wire printers and disable Wi-Fi function.
7. Disallow iPads or other tablets for students unless they accommodate an Ethernet connection and provide the ability to disable the wireless.
8. Train school personnel to be alert for signs of chronic electro-sensitivity symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, fatigue, irritability, heart irregularities and concentration problems.
9. Educate parents about the advisability of hard-wiring computers and Internet connections and limiting mobile phone use in the home.
10. Assess via antennasearch.com and with a radio frequency (RF) meter any external RF radiation sources, such as from antennas or towers, within a mile of the school.

Necessity has been a priceless spur which has helped men to perform miracles against incredible odds.
Without this tremendous passion for power, influence, and advantage which money gives, how could nature develop the highest type of man? Without this infinite longing, whence would come the discipline which industry, perseverance, tact, sagacity, and frugality give?
If you would attract good fortune, you must get rid of doubt. As long as that stands between you and your ambition, it will be a bar that will cut you off. You must have faith. No man can make a fortune while he is convinced that he can't.

The World's Most Outrageous 'Travel Hacker'… Evil, or Evil Genius?
by Gary Leff on March 17, 2015
Lucky at One Mile at a Time writes about Justin Ross Lee today, a character in frequent flyer circles who much amuses me.
Lucky likes 'JRL',
I know Justin Ross Lee pretty well, and while the "act" is no doubt pretty extreme, he's actually a nice guy underneath it all. He genuinely gets enjoyment out of making people laugh & smile…
I'll concede that I've met him only once, at the first Frequent Traveler University event New York at the Sheraton LaGuardia in April 2011. So I don't know him well enough to understand the man, I can only judge his public persona.
I think he's a smart guy who never grew up and who turned that into a persona for himself that isn't who I would want to be. He's a train wreck reality star without the television gig.
The occasion for the post is a really funny video showing JRL buying refundable tickets to use the American Airlines Flagship Lounge at New York JFK as his office, declaring a starter pistol from Target as a firearm in his checked luggage, and printing business cards for companies he doesn't work for to get their hotel corporate rates.
I think he's a character, sort of the class clown who never grew up but spent a lot of hours on frequent flyer forums learning the tricks and he just doesn't have the 'filter' most of us have — he has the nerve to push each 'scheme' to the extreme and desperately wants attention.
So far, so good — I think it would be a terrible thing if everyone was like him, which I suppose is an indictment from a Kantian standpoint. But he gets away with it and it's his schtick.
That said I don't think he's at all the guy he portrays himself to be and I don't think he's as successful at his 'travel hacking' either. He gets first class award tickets — that's not a feat worthy of the gossip pages. His business is 'haberdashery' but his line of pocket squares doesn't actually make many sales.
A shameless New York self-promoter and velvet-rope gadfly — who snootily brags about copping freebies while flying only first class and sporting custom-made clothes — is flat broke, according to court papers.
In bankruptcy documents filed in Manhattan last month, social hustler Justin Ross Lee, who regularly boasts about his luxe lifestyle to his 5,000 Facebook fans, claimed that his aptly named "Pretentious Pockets'' silk-pocket-square business is a dismal failure, raking in just $12,250 to date.
And that's left Lee with a measly $100 in the bank, nearly $160,000 in debt and unable to cover the rent on his $2,700-a-month apartment in Murray Hill's white-glove Anthem building, court documents say.
..The preppy party boy — who crows that he never buys "off-the-rack clothing'' and struts around town in custom monogrammed shirts, custom-made suits and Hermes belts — was cut off by Barneys New York for a nearly $5,000 credit-card bill he couldn't pay, documents show.
He owes more than $700 to his swanky Manhattan gym, Club H Fitness, too.
Citibank, to whom Lee also owes $80,000 in credit-card bills, recently sued him for breach of contract, according to the filing.
Financial troubles notwithstanding, he managed a spot on Millionaire Matchmaker — and wound up set up with a porn star who apparently lied about her age.
In the video Justin says, "If 49% of the people love you and 51% of the people hate you, you're doing something right."
Do you love him or hate him?
This reminds me of that blog post by the Dutch girl who faked a trip to Thailand on social media…it's all about perception. Of you follow his posts, you'd think he was a successful entrepreneur who jetsets in style…clearly not the case
LOL Millionaire Matchmaker. Most are Millionaire wannabes. Some dont have a regular job and little money. Many years ago a guy who worked for me always bought from Nieman Marcus. When he left we would get at least a few calls per year from debt collectors looking for him. That continued for years 🙂

I am trying to figure out why anyone would spend 2 seconds thinking about an utter failure.
thewhitezone says:
I was about to say Who gives an F? And then remembered where I am posting this. So instead I will say Who gives a flying F… see what I did there
TonyM says:
um, um, um, I just don't know how to feel now. But I do like the peanut trick!
shake yo'a$$!
Very interesting. That bankruptcy filing was from August 2011, but that YouTube video is recent. When I watched it, a super majority of those newspaper articles are of his face superimposed on the actual person. The most obvious is with the Cathay Pacific cabin crew—that is not him, his face was pasted on top of the actual person.
The video is hilarious, though. Especially with the chick showing her boobs in 1st Class, where's the uncut edition?
@ ED
I've been a JRL fan for years and enjoy following his "shtick". I can assure you that pic of him with the Cathay Pacific cabin crew is real, not not "superimposed". Take a look. And the next photo is of him in the cockpit wearing the same outfit… As for a 5 year old bankruptcy filing, Yesterday's news.

italdesign says:
Count me in as a fan of the video. He is to "normal people" what churners and MS'ers are to butt-in-seat flyers.
elteetrav says:
This is the post of the day that you should remove. Please STOP giving this guy publicity.
Eddy says:
Interesting. I'd be careful about refunding too many tickets.

This guy is the modern day Jerry Rubin. The Who said "We won't get fooled again", but I guess Justin is of a different age, appealing to a way younger clientele.
Jana says:
In answer to your question – I neither love or hate him. I simply ignore him as unworthy of my emotions.
A. S. says:
The part where he prints business cards in different companies' names is outright fraud. I'm surprised these companies don't care enough to go after him. Or the hotels he's swindling.
Mickey in PDX says:
I am with "toomanybooks" above, I really don't want to waste anytime or emotion in 'love or hate', just to forget this person.
He's more tolerable than Dan Blizerian
@Keith
The Cathay Pacific cabin crew with JRL is a superimposed picture. It is someone else. Look closer. In fact, in the video, that same picture is close enough to see a mismatched neckline. Simple Photoshop technique.
I still think that video is pretty funny, though. He should try to vouch Kevin Trudeau out of the slammer too.
AA might get pretty PO'd if they find their aircraft and lounge as part of his promotion. He blurred the AA on the craft, but he forgot the tail.
He might be a nice guy away from a camera but the problem is that his persona hangs over him. I can't see any hotel believing that he actually works for one of these companies, his FQT-profile will be noted for sure. So if someone with such a high profile checks into your hotel and claims he works for Raytheon, yet has nothing to do but bullshit around for 4 days… I don't know. Are these hotels to scared to go after him because they fear bashing in the media? As for the companies, that's another story. If he indeed falsly claims he works for Raytheon 'Missile Defense Systems' that would be a sensitive issue. Maybe sensitive enough to revoke his Global Entry that he is bragging about. The year old bankruptcy case… not a big deal in my eyes. In America companies shed themselves of liabilities all the time, heck every major airline did that.
jfhscott says:
Little more than a Donald Trump wannabe.
Gary Leff says:
@AS with IBM it may not be fraud, it sounds like he may have joined their free partner program (he mentions what he does with them)
Is that the guy from Millionaire Matchmaker???

Supreme Court Says Amazon Doesn't Have to Pay Employees for Security Check Time
By Matt Holden
The Supreme Court ruled that warehouse workers who fill orders for Amazon don't have to be paid for time spent waiting to pass through security checks at the end of their shifts.
The decision was unanimous, and is considered a victory for the growing number of retailers and other companies that routinely screen workers to prevent employee theft. The justices said federal law does not require companies to pay employees for the extra time because it is unrelated to their primary job duties.
Some workers at Amazon contractor Integrity Staffing Solutions Inc. claim they wait up to 25 minutes to clear security before they can go home.
The Supreme Court reversed a ruling from the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which said the screenings should be compensated because they were performed for the employer's benefit and were integral to the workers' jobs.
"Integrity Staffing did not employ its workers to undergo security screenings, but to retrieve products from warehouse shelves and package those products for shipment to Amazon customers," Justice Clarence Thomas said.
"Data shows that employees typically walk through security with little or no wait, and Amazon has a global process that ensures the time employees spend waiting in security is less than 90 seconds," said Amazon spokeswoman Kelly Cheeseman.
Matt Holden is an Associate Content Editor for 1105 Media, Inc. He received his MFA and BA in journalism from Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana. He currently writes and edits for Occupational Health & Safety magazine, and Security Today.

In a country of billion people, you need to be a special cricketer with remarkable talent to represent the Indian cricket team. Not everyone is lucky to don the blue jersey and walk into the cricketing field. Over the years, a considerable number of people have bagged the honour of being cricketers. While some fulfilled it, others couldn't sustain it for long.
Here we go through a series of international cricketers who may have potentially played their last game for India.
The left handed batsman is probably one of India's greatest match winners of all time. Over the years, Yuvraj Singh has found it tough to break into the current Indian team inspite of numerous opportunities. Ever since his prolonged illness in the form of cancer, the six hitting machine has never been a permanent member of the Indian team. Moreover, his fitness and reflexes have also been under par.
Yuvraj Singh didn't find much interest among the franchisees in this year's IPL. Bought for a base price of Rs 2 crores, his batting average of 8.25 in 8 games was enough to prove his uselessness. With no performances to show in domestic cricket and India promoting fresh legs, the 36 year old may have well played his last game in the Indian jersey.
Often known for being the man of the finals, Gautam Gambhir will go down as one of the best openers in Indian cricket. No Indian fan will forget his innings in the 2007 WT20 final or the 2011 World Cup final. However, the post 2011 period didn't suffice well in the case of Gambhir. The controversial left handed batsman lost his form and eventually got dropped from the Indian side.
He did get opportunities later on but couldn't make it count. On the other hand, the likes of Dhawan, Rohit and Vijay cemented their spots. Gambhir soon went out of favour amongst the selectors. In this year's IPL too, Gambhir resigned from captaincy midway following a dismal start and was immediately sacked from the playing XI as well. At the age of 36 and with no international cricket since two years, it is safe to say that Gambhir is done.
The Turbanator has been doing commentary in the ongoing Indian tour of England. A hint that he may have already given up on his international career. Harbhajan Singh is renowned as India's greatest off spinner till date. Having accounted for more than 700 wickets across all formats, Bhajji is the second highest Indian wicket taker of all time.
While he was considered to be the leading spinner till early 2012, the emergence of Ashwin and Jadeja in the Indian ranks led to his exclusion. The spinner made a surprising comeback in 2015 following brilliant performances in the IPL. However, it didn't last long for him. The 38 year old will look back proudly at his international career even though he had his fair bit of controversies.
Hailing from Baroda, the all rounder created an enigma when he was first brought into the Indian squad. He slammed his second ball in international cricket for a six off Mohammed Asif. He was also a part of the 2011 World Cup winning campaign for India. While Yusuf Pathan outlived his days in the Indian team, he continued to be a relevant figure in the IPL.
Known for his fierce hitting at the lower order, Yusuf also doubled up as a spinner and was an exceptional fielder too. However, his inconsistency ended up being a major reason behind his ouster. He was never considered for the Indian team after 2012. As he turns 36 later this year, the chances of him making a comeback into the international team are as much unlikely as Kapil Dev coming out of retirement.
Before MS Dhoni came into the scene, before Dinesh Karthik's arrival, there was Parthiv Patel. As his appearance may suggest, he isn't a youngster but a veteran for around 17 years now. The wicketkeeper batsman has been an in and out feature in the Indian team even after Dhoni retired from Tests. However an injury to Saha earlier in the South African tour gave him the perfect opportunity to cement his spot in the side.
An average of 14 and a couple of dropped catches meant that he wouldn't be the ideal choice for a wicketkeeper. Also with India moving forward to Rishabh Pant in the ongoing England tour, Parthiv Patel is likely to never return to the international circuit. The 33 year old is still going strong in domestic cricket and that's something he will look forward to.
The term 'Mishra jee' became quite famous during the WT20 2014. The leg spinner was at his splendid best and won consecutive man of the match awards at the start of the tournament. However due to abundant resources in the spin department, he couldn't hold onto his place for long. He holds the record of taking the most wickets in a bilateral series, having taken 18 wickets against Zimbabwe in the 2013 tour.
While he put up some really strong performances in the 2015 home series against South Africa, he failed to seal his place amongst the top 2 spinners. He made his debut as early as 2003 but the pair of Harbhajan-Kumble were invincible at that point of time. However, inspite of never being the first choice spinner, he still managed to grab 150 wickets across all formats. He's going to turn 36 later this year and with fitness issues bound to happen, his future in international cricket is all but over.
Known for his stylish batting and insane striking, Robin Uthappa rose in the Indian ranks quickly. He was selected in a star studded batting lineup during the 2007 World Cup. The right hander also played a brilliant role in India's WT20 winning campaign. However, inconsistency with the bat and Raina's growing stature eventually led to his decline as a lower order batsman.
He continued to perform well in the Indian Premier League and even won the Orange Cap in 2014. However, he failed to get enough chances to prove his mettle in the national team. Uthappa played his last game for India in 2015 during the Zimbabwe tour. While he's still 32, the selectors have certainly moved on from him and are reluctant to include youngsters.

Hey Vector, could I get a mirror for the gamerip on Berseria? Been trying to log into FF Shrine for a few weeks now, but to no avail.
I got an outside contribution to the Hoot Archive, and it's so well done, I had to upload it to you guys.
Without further ado, enjoy ~550 X68000 sets made to work with the latest Hoot version.
Hoot is a closed source Windows chip tune player, that everyone seems to love because everyone is on Windows anyway.
I'm not sure anybody really loves Hoot, especially given how finicky it can be, but it's currently the only way to listen to the music of hundreds of (mostly Japanese) computer games...without playing them, of course. It also supports using MIDI synthesizers like the Roland MT-32 (emulated or physical), if the game supported them.
For these computer systems, it works like M1 does for arcade games, using the sound data taken directly from the files with little or no modification. In this sense, it usually enables more accurate archival and curation than seen in other emulated music formats, with less potential points of failure between original product and what is done to reproduce that sound in another environment. But that isn't a guarantee, and it can be a pain to use.
As an example, if you just want to hear the basic music from the X68000 Wolf Team game Granada, the VGM set is fine for your needs. But if you wanted to hear the MT-32 version of the soundtrack, Hoot would be your best option (unless you wanted an official hardware recording).
Nevermind I just got that behind me.

Q: Kronecker Delta and Constants I have a small question and I hope I make this clear.
Would one distribute the Kronecker Delta as follows?
$\sum_{j}^n\     ( C + x_j ) \delta_{ij}$
$= \sum_{j}^n\     ( C\delta_{ij} + x_j\delta_{ij} ) $
$= C +  \sum_{j}^n\     x_j\delta_{ij} ) $
I believe the answer to be only :  $ \ \ x_i $

Q: Automatically filter SQLAlchemy Query on certain fields We are working on implementing SQLAlchemy ORM in our existing app. We used to use SQLAlchemy Core but introduced some much additional complexity on top that we ended up rewriting most of the Core components, which was hard to maintain and not scalable.
We are now implementing SQLAlchemy ORM and do not want to make the same mistakes. Currently we are stuck on what the best design pattern is to automatically filter each Query on certain Base attributes. I will elaborate with a minimum working example below.
Assume that we have the following Base class and Entity model, where client_id is assumed to be a valid client ID that is set on each record that is committed to the database. This is the part that works as expected, when we retrieve all records, client_ids are reflected properly.
from sqlalchemy import Column, Integer, String
from sqlalchemy.orm import declarative_base

class Base:
    __abstract__ = True

    client_id = Column('client_id', Integer)  # assume the client_id has a valid ID for the logged in user at the time a model was initiated and the record stored in the database

base = declarative_base(cls=Base, constructor=None)

class Entity(Base):
    __tablename__ = 'entity'

    name = Column(String, nullable=False)

To filter records for a valid client, we would do something like
session.query(Entity).filter(client_id=1)

In essence, this works. However, we do not want to bother our programmers with having to filter each resultset on the client_id, since that should happen on each and every query. If our programmers have to do this manually on each query this would also introduce a security issue if this is forgotten and the reviewer didn't pick it up.
What is the best pattern to achieve automatic filtering of the results on a client_id, so that we can do:
session.query(Entity)

and it would behave exactly as if we specified the filter ourselves?
We have considered overwriting the query method on the session, e.g. as such (pseudo)
def query(...):
   return session.query(Entity).filter(client_id=id)

We also considered adding a query method to each data model, as such:
class Base:
   ... # identical to above

   def query(...):
       return session.query(self).filter(self.client_id=id)

However both of these solutions don't feel right, as in (1) we have to overwrite Session and in (2) we have to call query on a model instead of a session, which feels like it is not in line with SQLAlchemy best practice.
Are there any patterns we can consider that will enable us to do this without overriding SQLAlchemy components so as to improve maintainability?

Bold colour, dresses that go swish and those that make you want to twirl; the simplicity of whites and pieces that feel like they were made just for you, this is the feeling of a Sacha Drake Summer.
When I was asked if I would do a personal blog featuring some of Sacha Drake's pieces from the latest Spring/Summer collection, I immediately rounded up the girls who make magic happen, (thank you Quince and Mulberry Studios and Alannah Pritchard Make up) and had some serious fun.
The beauty of Sacha Drake is that as a designer she is obsessed with getting it right for all women, with no hint of compromise when it comes to style and quality, and for her loyal customers, the only difficulty is in the choosing.
Who can resist the colours of the Up Up and Away Maxi Dress? Makes me want to run away with a one way ticket to paradise!
Is it the fit that is irresistible? Not on it's own. But combine that with Summer's navy and white palette in the most covetable midi skirt length? Resisting the Garden Row Midi Skirt is futile.
Summer isn't Summer without crisp fresh whites and the Chalk Portrait Top and Skirt is style in it's purist form; whether you pair it with Summer's sandals, or give it an unexpected edge and take a sneakers with everything approach, this is the ultimate modern "set".
And then theres that runway skirt! Sorry girls, a very special piece designed just for the runway to celebrate 10 years with Brisbane's Mercedes Benz Fashion Festival earlier this year. I'll be honest, I'm not sure if the most satisfying moment was the agreement for me to wear it as part of the shoot or the fact that it fit me!
Sacha Drake's Spring/Summer Collection is filled with irresistible pieces.


This mission will be the very first you can undertake from the Irishman aptly named Irish. You were turned on to him a little earlier in the game when you helped out the wily old swindler named Nigel Dickens. After learning Irish's name, you can find him to begin undertaking his missions, this one being the first. Go to the I on your map in between Cholla Springs and Armadillo. When you arrive, you'll witness a cutscene. Two men are assaulting Irish, holding a knife to him while they attempt to drown him in a horse's water container. When you turn the corner and enter the barn where this madness is happening, it appears that you arrived just in the nick of time. Unfortunately, the Europeans who are assaulting Irish aren't too thrilled that you've showed up. And they plan to do something about it.
Don't lay back and watch this cutscene without a controller in your hand, because it's cut in half by a realtime event, and you need to be ready. After having enough of your presence, the two bandits will unhand Irish and assault you, and you'll need to defend yourself. Worry about the guy with the knife last -- take out the dude on the left first, since he pulls out a revolver, and is capable of doing a lot more damage. Once he's felled, you can then focus on taking out his blade-brandishing friend. With both enemies dead, the previous cutscene will continue. Irish seems amiable enough, thanking you for saving his life. John will bring up that rumor has it that Irish can procure a machinegun for him. Irish says that he can, and that's it's a fine government-issue weapon. And just like that, the two men walk out of the barn in order to begin their adventure.
Your ride to your destination will be an uneventful one. What's strange about this journey, however, is how quickly Irish insists on riding his steed. You can keep up easily, but be aware that Irish likes to take strange shortcuts that can throw you off and set you back from his maddening pace. He doesn't always stick to the roads (quite the contrary), so be ready to turn and follow him over more undesirable terrain at a moment's notice. Nonetheless, he and John will conduct a rather humorous conversation as you go, which will certainly keep you both occupied and amused.
Ultimately, you'll arrive at your destination, a small cabin occupied by a few ruffians along the coast of the quaint Lake Don Julio. Don't be confused -- these thugs are hostile, and are the ones keeping an eye on the military-grade machinegun (presumably). Irish has no interest in storming their little compound, however, so while he'll support you with sniper fire from afar, don't expect him to rush the location with you. The gunfight you're about to find yourself in will be conducted solo, so be prepared with your favorite weapon ready. Then, head on down towards the cabin to get things started.
If you have a rifle on you, it's good to get it out, stand atop the ridge, and initiate hostilities from up there. You have a much better shot than your opposition, so the further away you stay from these guys, the better off you're ultimately going to be. You'll have to kill roughly six or eight foes here, so try to thin their ranks by killing three or four from afar. Then, when you're prepared, rush forward and deal the killing blows to the rest of the enemies around you. Your HUD is a valuable tool here, since foes will be represented by red dots. Since there's so much cover to use outside of the cabin, you may lose your marks. That's where the HUD will come in to play, since it will help you identify enemy locations before any of your foes can flip the script on you.
With the threat fully nullified, all that's left to do is to enter the cabin itself to find the machinegun you're seeking out. There's an outhouse-like building, much smaller than the cabin, located further down the property. You can ignore it completely, since there's nothing at all of interest within it. Instead, focus solely on the cabin. When you go to enter it from the side entrance, however, expect a last bandit holdout to emerge from the door and open fire on you with a repeater. Return the favor quickly, nullifying the threat before too much damage can be dealt. Then, head inside the cabin, which is conspicuously vacant. Did Irish lie to you, or was the machinegun moved? It's hard to tell right now, but one thing's for certain -- you gotta keep looking, because it's not here.


Glish is a band comfortable in their own skin; forged out of the blistering New Orleans punk scene, they are afraid of nothing and no one having shared the stage with bands such as Coliseum, Merchandise, and Kayo Dot. Glish bring their unique brand of nu-gaze, dream-pop to the masses with powerful live performances and records that mesmerize. Their most recent effort and debut full-length (s/t) is masterful, with wide praise and recognition as a record to be revered. "Glish have probably made the best shoegaze record of the year, and they've made it seem totally effortless." said James Rettig of Stereogum (2014). We could not love them more.

WorldCom Creditors to Form Representative Committee

By Chris Nolter | July 29, 2002 at 12:00 AM
WorldCom Inc.'s unsecured creditors will convene today at a New York hotel to forge an official committee that will represent their interests in the largest Chapter 11 filing ever. It could be a long day. Unsecured creditors' committees often have seven to 15 members. WorldCom has thousands of unsecured creditors with widely disparate agendas and competing claims for the company's assets. Ensuring representation for all those viewpoints on one panel will be a monumental task. The players include vendors and suppliers whose bills were vaporized in the bankruptcy filing, bondholders who purchased notes at par and would lose money if they receive less than face value, distressed players who bought at pennies to the dollar and the many banks that extended the company unsecured loans. One source from the distressed market compared the varied collection of creditors to an abstract expressionist painting. Bondholders have the largest chunk of WorldCom's more than $40 billion in debt and are broken into three groups. The WorldCom holding company has notes worth $24 billion. MCI subsidiary investors have $2.6 billion in bonds and $750 million in preferred trust stock. The Intermedia Corp. subsidiary has about $1.2 billion in bonds and $574 million in preferred stock. The three groups have pledged to cooperate in the proceedings, but bond market sources say fault lines are visible. The MCI bondholders have claimed structural seniority over the other bondholders, because the most profitable assets are held by the subsidiary. They would be repaid ahead of the other bond groups. The Intermedia subsidiary has a $5.7 billion inter-company note that WorldCom owes it. A distressed player says the Intermedia bondholders will claim the note gives them higher standing than the main group of WorldCom bondholders. The source adds that investors who bought WorldCom notes in a May 2001 offering may fight for priority over the other holding company bondholders. They could argue that because WorldCom's accounting problems began before the sale, they invested on the basis of fraudulent financial reports. Sources suggest that the mix of par and distressed investors may also lead to conflict. The par bondholders would lean toward the highest recovery; the distressed investors might be tempted by a lower but quicker return on their money. A distressed debt source says that many of the institutions holding WorldCom's $28 billion in bond debt may be large institutions unable to sell when the bottom dropped out. "The total collapse occurred so fast," the source says. "I suspect a big slug of these holders are the original buyers." David Rosner of New York's Kasowitz, Benson, Torres & Friedman who represents the MCI Group subsidiary bondholders, says his clients include a mix of par holders and distressed investors, but could not comment on the other groups. Lawyers for the WorldCom holding company and Intermedia bondholders did not return calls. Even among the distressed crowd there will be competing interests, depending on when the investors bought into WorldCom. Daniel Arbess, head of the special situations investing at Triton Partners, says there have been three waves of distressed investing in the notes. The first phase followed the resignation of former chief executive officer Bernard Ebbers on April 29, when the bonds dropped to around 40 cents on the dollar. Arbess says many investors purchased bonds then, thinking that a new credit facility would solve liquidity problems. The second stage immediately followed the June 25 announcement of $3.8 billion in accounting errors. Bonds dropped to the low teens, and later rebounded to the high teens when the new president and chief executive officer John Sidgmore said he was optimistic the company could stave off bankruptcy. Arbess would not discuss details of Triton's investments, but said the firm was active in the second phase. The third stage began when portfolio managers began to realize a Chapter 11 filing was unavoidable. Prices of WorldCom bonds have dropped back to the low teens, while the MCI notes have recovered to their levels before the accounting fraud was announced. "With these various interests in the cap structure and multiple entry points one can expect to see a very lively discussion at the formation of the creditors committee, and as the committee's work moves forward," Arbess says. "The committee advisers will have their hands full balancing these interests." Then there are the banks, who are on the hook for billions in unsecured loans. The institutions may have an interest in seeing WorldCom emerge from bankruptcy, because if the company becomes viable it could be a valuable client once again. Court filings state that Verizon Communications Inc.'s $121 million claim is the largest trade debt. The other regional Bells, who charge WorldCom to use their lines to complete calls, also have significant stakes. Trade debt aside, the Bells have another interest in the bankruptcy proceedings. If there were an asset sale, they would be potential buyers for either the entire company or some of its operations, like the MCI long-distance business. As earnings reports roll in, other WorldCom suppliers have disclosed their exposure to the company. Earlier this week, business and technology services company Electronic Data Systems Corp. announced a $100 million write-down from prebankruptcy receivables and other WorldCom-related charges. The final say over the committee's composition lies with the U.S. Trustee for the second district, Carolyn Schwartz, who is also working on the Enron Corp. bankruptcy. The Enron unsecured committee originally numbered 15: five banks, five bondholders or their representatives, three energy companies, one surety company and a retired employee. One of the banks, an energy company, and the retiree have since dropped off the committee. Rosner says he is unsure what form the committee would take. He suggested there could be multiple committees; one for the WorldCom holding company and one for MCI, which owns many of WorldCom's most profitable assets, for example. A source from the bond market said that the committee could even include distressed bondholders, because they have such a large stake in the company. Copyright �2002 TDD, LLC. All rights reserved.
