The scars from riots in 47 American cities in the late 1960s remain visible today not only in the physical landscape of a few stubbornly poor cities, but in a philosophy and jurisprudence of criminal law that has instantiated the disparate fates of racial minorities in the criminal justice system. The riots took place in the midst of profound social and economic restructuring of the nation's cities, and at the outset of an epidemic of rising rates of crime and disorder that framed both a new political order and a profound transformation of American criminal law and criminal procedure. Within the decade, a political and legal mobilization – fueled by racial and cultural conflict – led to an abrupt reversal in the substance and philosophy of criminal law. The ceding of rights to criminal defendants and the increasing regulation of police in the early 1960s gave way through a series of cascading court decisions and new laws to a punitive regime that, over three decades, has expanded the authority of police, curtailed the procedural rights of criminal defendants, and supported policies that have sustained a widening racial gap in incarceration. A new body of criminal laws, though facially race-neutral, have had profound racial consequences that are durable and sustainable even in a low crime era. Part I of this paper discusses the antecedents, contexts and dynamics of this turn in criminal law, focusing on the racial dynamics that exploded in a wave of riots. Part II examines the development of the new legal order, analyzing the reversal in law through a series of court decisions over two decades. Part III examines how the use of race-neutral laws to achieve crime control in the absence of complementary models of social regulation has produced disparate racial impacts that have become endogenous to the political order. Part IV discusses the challenges to legal and institutional reform to restore racial equality in criminal justice. The American experience is a cautionary tale of the limits and dangers of criminal law to manage diversity and social conflict.


Last week we got a look at a near production model cabinet for the upcoming Batman Arcade game by Specular Interactive and Raw Thrills. As discussed in that post, this new game will allow players to fill in the role of Batman (not the Ben Affleck version I might add 😛 ) with a focus on the vehicular technology behind the character. For all of the instances that Batman has had in video games over the years, the use of the Batmobile was usually not given full attention so this title will make up for that. This week we get three screenshots from the game, courtesy of Specular Interactive.
A street battle in the "Tumbler".
This shot reveals that you will get a chance to blow stuff up in the air with the Batwing. Not sure if this sequence is on or off-rails and whether the player will also be able to choose from various different Batwing models. I cannot think of an instance in any recent coin-op arcade game that combines elements of both driving and flying into the play (catching air off a jump doesn't count).
Batman will make its way into arcades this November.
That's not The Batwing, it's Just "The Bat".

'Up Till Now' that rare, entertaining celebrity biography
Michael Merschel
LOS ANGELES — William Shatner is a man in a hurry.
He has just signed an astounding 260 books in 25 minutes, leaving the assembled publicists slack-jawed with awe. Having agreed to an interview about his new autobiography, he is planted inside Jackie Collins' cavernous tour bus, the quietest available spot on the busy floor of the recent Book Expo America.
"Let's get this done," he says, to kick things off.
If he's rushed, it's understandable. For one thing, promoting "Up Till Now" today has interrupted a day on horseback with his wife. For another, "Up Till Now," Thomas Dunne Books ($25.95) is that rare celebrity autobiography that's as entertaining as it is self-revealing, a genuinely fun read. He bristles at the suggestion that anyone should have expected less.
"Well, I wrote my book because I was asked to, and I'm busy," he says. "And I thought, 'I have to very carefully delineate my time'" But he decided, "This is a good opportunity to write something that was in effect a legacy for my children and grandchildren and give them a taste of what my life was about."
And what a life the 77-year-old has had. He grew up Jewish in a Catholic section of Montreal, where he earned the nickname "Toughie." He rose from the Canadian National Repertory Theater to Broadway to Hollywood and some of the most memorable roles in TV history. Along the way he has paddled a canoe from Montreal to New York, been fondled by Koko the gorilla, killed a bear with an arrow, and arranged to sell his kidney stone for $75,000 for charity.
Shatner says he dictated stories "that I saw as tiny mirrors of incidences in my life" to co-writer David Fisher, who did the book's first draft. On the second draft the actor "tried to find some meaning behind the series of incidences."
What kind of meaning? He says he became aware of the ripple effect of small choices one makes. He writes in the book, for example, how his decision to record the 1968 album "The Transformed Man," with its unearthly version of "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds," became the favorite of an advertising copywriter decades later. That led to his commercials for Priceline.com and his 2004 album "Has Been" — "which I look at with great pride" — which was staged by the Milwaukee Ballet, which he shot as a documentary, "Gonzo Ballet."
His life, or at least his book, is like that.
"I became aware of these unconscious decisions you make all your life, which lead to very conscious results," he says. "The lesson I've tried to learn from looking at my life was trying to be more conscious of spending the time with you instead of my wife on horseback."
Really, Mr. Shatner, we're sorry.
"Not at all," he says, smiling. "You'd think if there's anybody, Dallas would understand."
The need to be working constantly is also a thread in the book. For much of his career, he had a simple definition for success: having $1,800 in the bank. Is that what drives him to take on so many projects?
"Well, I think that's gone. This isn't my bus," he says, looking around Collins' studio apartment on wheels. "But I could buy it, I suppose."
But if his track record indicates he'll rarely say no to a project, he doesn't see himself as a hustler.
"The way I see it, from my point of view, it isn't hustling. It's, the opportunity is there. And why not avail oneself of it? Like a guy says, 'Would you like to write a book?' And I say, 'OK, I'll write the book.' A guy says, 'I'd like to give you a lot of money if you'll stand with me and have a picture taken.' Click, it's over. A lot of money goes to some kids who could use it. Well, I'm not hustling for that."
(Although in this case, Shatner was researching the offer to make sure it wouldn't damage his reputation.)
"But if I'm passing a kidney stone, and the guy's going to throw it out, and someone wants to buy it, I'll bargain with him for how much it's worth, and give the money to charity. I'm not hustling."
Although his book is poignant at times — he writes openly about his failings as a husband with his first two wives and extensively about the alcoholism and drowning death of his third — the book is punctuated with great storytelling. And certainly, as many have written, he has an ability to laugh at himself. And have fun. And that's the point, he says.
"I don't have much time left," he says. "So if I'm hustling at all it's because ... it's the football hustle. 'Let's move at a double pace because the yards are giving out. Double time now because there isn't that much time.' You may interpret it as a hustle. I'm thinking, 'let's get some stuff — let's get it all done.'"
One thing he does not have time for: Elaborating on the ill will expressed toward him by other Star Trek cast members, for example in "Up Till Now," Shatner acknowledges having been self-absorbed as he was playing Captain Kirk. But without mentioning anyone by name, he says that part of the book is "getting more attention than it deserves," and any problem anyone has with his behavior in that long-ago era is theirs, not his.
"I don't know what's the matter with somebody who holds a grudge for 40 years," he says. "I don't even know what the grudge is about. It certainly hasn't occupied my time. My reverence is the fact that I have a great friend in Leonard Nimoy that started there. And I cherish that more than most things."
And with that, it's time to head back to his wife, Elizabeth, and his horses, which they are preparing for an arena competition the next day.
"So I was on two horses this morning, came down here, and I'm gonna go back there right now and get on some more," he says.
Sounds like time well spent.

Pre-existing conditions latest flashpoint in Nelson-Scott battle
Democrats say Trump administration, with Florida's help, trying to hobble Obamacare.

Gov. Rick Scott would not directly say Wednesday whether he supports a Trump administration move that critics say could wipe away health care protections for pre-existing conditions — a cornerstone of Obamacare — while saying he believes such protections are needed.
"I believe that if you have a pre-existing condition, you need to still be able to get health care, so it's very important to me," Scott told reporters in Tallahassee.
"I think everybody ought to be able to get health care insurance. I do believe that you've got to start working to fix the law and that law caused our premiums to skyrocket. But I don't believe in grand bargains, I believe in incrementally trying to make change. We've got a lot more competition … We've got to reward people for caring for themselves."
Democrats have seized on the issue after the Justice Department withdrew its defense of the Affordable Care Act in a Texas court case attacking the law; Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi joined the state to the case in February.
Earlier this week, Scott said he didn't know enough about the suit to comment.
Now Florida joined the lawsuit at the direction of @PamBondi ... The staff of @FLGovScott said Friday that Scott did not ask, concur or encourage Bondi to join the Texas lawsuit seeking to strike down the ACA.....
— Gary Fineout (@fineout) June 13, 2018
"By joining this lawsuit, the state of Florida is actively working to hurt Americans with preexisting conditions," reads a letter Florida Democrats in Washington sent to Scott on Wednesday. "And, as representatives of the people of Florida, we urge you to withdraw from this dangerous suit immediately – and instead adopt additional consumer protections that will protect those with preexisting conditions."
Sen. Bill Nelson, whom Scott is challenging for re-election, spoke about the issue on the Senate floor on Wednesday.
"So this lawsuit by these attorneys general is nothing more than another political attack on our nation's health care law," the Democrat said. "In my state of Florida, Florida's governor, and the other 19 states that joined that lawsuit, they are the ones that are behind this, and they need to be held accountable that they're trying to get rid of the protections for health insurance if you have a preexisting condition. It's not enough to say that the Trump administration is taking deliberate steps to make health care more expensive."
Nelson is making defending the Affordable Care Act a focal point of his campaign, while Scott has dropped his avid criticism of the law.

I am doing a post-Thanksgiving dinner (yet still in a Thanksgiving spirit) for a group of friends. I promised my daughter to make her favorite pumpkin lasagna (pumpkin or butternut squash, bacon, Italian sausage, sage, tomato, bechamel, nutmeg and parmesan). I would like to add an interesting side dish and salad, but have a hard time finding a good pairing, because lasagna is so complex and loaded with flavors. What do you recommend?
Appetizer - small bites of something wìth a sharp or slightly bitter edge...maybe eggplant, endive, olive or artichoke (little or no bread bc the main dish is strong on grain).
Salad - something in the French style, served after the main, as a palate cleanser and transition to coffee or dessert. Watercress or arugula with oranges and onions in a classic vinaigrette.
I'd either go super simple - maybe blanched green bean salad and a fresh green salad with minimal toppings, maybe sliced almonds?
I was thinking something with pears, apples and blue cheese. Thank you!


We interviewed Playerunknown himself this week at PAX Aus.
[UPDATE] We had our interview with Brendan Greene this week at PAX Aus. Below are some of our breakouts, while we'll have more to come in the days ahead.
Playerunknown's Battlegrounds is one of the biggest games on the planet right now. The Hunger Games-style action game has sold more than 13 million copies and continues to break Steam records for concurrent players and more. Its success is even more notable given that PUBG is an unfinished game, available on Steam Early Access for $30.
GameSpot has an interview with the team around the game coming up this week. We plan to ask about the state of the game, what's coming up next, the soon-to-launch Xbox One version, and more. But we also want YOU to submit questions. Post them in the comments, and we'll select some to put directly to the team.
Ask whatever you want, but there is no guarantee that your question will be selected. We'll choose them based on newsworthiness, originality, humour, and other criteria. Go ahead! We'll look at questions up until Friday, October 27, so send away!
Our interview, with the select community questions, will run sometime in the next 10 days or so. Keep checking back with GameSpot for the latest!

112 W. 25 St. - new Extell site in Chelsea
Thread: 112 W. 25 St. - new Extell site in Chelsea
July 3rd, 2007, 09:46 PM #1
Watch for something to happen here eventually.
Extell buys Chelsea garage, flea market site
July 3, 5:22 pm
One of the last remnants of the old Chelsea Flea Market seems likely to shutter following Extell Development's purchase of a three-story garage at 112 West 25th Street. Extell paid $42.7 million for the building, according to public records.
The property, which is a car garage during the week, has been cleared out on weekends for the Antiques Garage since 1994. The space is given over to vendors on Saturdays and Sundays as part of the larger Chelsea Flea Market, which relocated to Hell's Kitchen a few years ago.
The Chelsea Flea Market had been based on Sixth Avenue between 25th and 26th streets for nearly three decades. The Antiques Garage currently operates under the umbrella of the Hell's Kitchen Flea Market, and a shuttle runs between the two sites.
Calls to the Hell's Kitchen Flea Market about the sale of the Antiques Garage building were not returned.
The site Extell purchased, which extends through to 24th Street, can support a commercial building or hotel of up to 167,450 square feet, which puts the price per buildable square foot at $255.
IR Parking is the garage's operator, and sources at the company said its lease on the space is set to expire in a little more than a year.
Calls to Extell about the firm's development plans were not returned.

Harry Bell was born in May 1925 and grew up in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. He graduated high school in May 1943 and by September he was in the Army. Bell had previously tried to join the Navy but he is colorblind so the Navy rejected him. He had chosen the Navy because his father had been in the Navy during World War 1 and he had a brother serving in the Navy during World War 2. Growing up in Hattiesburg was very interesting. He was a member of the YMCA which had a camp set up near Black Creek. The camp was very religious and very regimented. The camp offered a number of projects for the boys to do. One of those jobs was hunting snakes. That was the job Bell chose and he really enjoyed it. Bell went almost directly from high school to the Army. His ACT scores were high enough that after he was drafted he was placed in the Army Specialized Training Program and sent to Auburn University. He was there for about three months before his ASTP class was broken up and he was reassigned to the 106th Infantry Division, then at Camp Atterbury, Indiana. When he arrived at Camp Atterbury he was assigned to the 422nd Infantry Regiment, 2nd Battalion, Company F. Bell took basic field training at Camp Atterbury. It was incredibly hot during that time. After training the men would go to the base canteen for a cold beer. When their training was complete they were put on a troop train which took them to Camp Miles Standish in Boston, Massachusetts. There, they boarded the HMS Aquitania. The bunks on every level of the ship were stacked three high. Bell was assigned to F deck, which was right next to the ship's boilers. It was a miserable trip. Being down in the bilge, Bell was seasick for the entire trip. They were only allowed to go up on deck for an hour per day and that had to be done in shifts. There is no way all of the 10,000 men aboard ship could be up on deck at the same time. The Aquitania was a fast ship and the trip did not last long. About halfway across someone spotted a submarine. The troops aboard were all crowded up on deck.
Harry Bell and the rest of Company F, 2nd Battalion, 422nd Infantry Regiment [Annotator's Note: 106th Infantry Division] went ashore in Glasgow, Scotland. The company was then taken by train to the little village of Kingston, England. In Kingston there was a large manor house that was unoccupied at the time and there were Quonset huts set up in the field next to it. Bell's company remained there training for about a month before they were sent to Southampton where they boarded a small coastal freighter which took them across the English Channel to France. They went ashore in France and set up their tents in a muddy field. Shortly after their arrival they were put on trucks which took them up through France and Belgium to the town of St. Vith. Bell's division was stretched out between the 99th Infantry Division on one side and the 28th Infantry Division on the other. The section of the line they were covering was 12 miles long. There were a lot of gaps. They [Annotator's Note: the Germans] came through the Losheim Gap in the north between the 106th Division and the 99th Division. In the south they broke through between the 106th Division and the 28th Division. They then swung around and surrounded them. At first Bell's unit got orders to hold at all costs. Then they were told to break out and head for St. Vith. They spent the next several days on the move. At one point they were put in a tree line and told to dig in. The ground was so rocky that they were not able to dig foxholes. The next day they continued their move toward St. Vith. As they were moving through a meadow down in a valley, they were approached by a German carrying a white flag. The German told them that they had the choice of being shelled by the German 88mm guns or they could surrender. The officers decided that it was best to surrender. The Germans and their guns were behind Bell's unit. They stripped their guns down and threw the parts in different directions then gave up. They were marched to the town of Bleialf where Bell spent the night in a hog pen. The next day they were marched to the town of Prüm. There they were put in boxcars. The trains moved during the day then stopped in different rail yards at night. At night the British flew their bombing missions and one of the box cars was hit and everyone in it was killed. The trip from Bleialf to the railhead in Prüm was done at night. The prisoners were all exhausted. They had not eaten in days and some of the men fell out. Bell is not sure what happened to them but he did hear rifle shots as they left the area. They were taken to the railhead in Hanau where they transferred into trucks and were taken to the town of Bad Orb.
When Harry Bell and the other prisoners arrived [Annotator's Note: at Stalag IX-B in Bad Orb, Germany] they were assigned to barracks. The barracks were very uncomfortable. There was only one stove in the center of a barracks housing 200 men. They bunks in the barracks were three high and covered with straw. There were no mattresses but there were lice. There was no way to get rid of the lice. They could not take baths. The only restroom facilities they had was a hole in the floor in a section of the barracks. During the day they were able to use the slit trenches outside. The men all had diarrhea. Each of the prisoners had a can of some sort that their food was placed in. Bell had a rusty bucket. For breakfast they got a cup of ersatz tea which was nothing more than stained water with an artificial sweetener. For lunch they got a soup of boiled sugar beat tops. At night they received a ten inch long loaf of German bread that was shared by eight men. The men were very democratic about the way they divided the bread. They rotated who would cut the bread and that person who did the cutting got the shavings. They did get two Red Cross boxes. The first was shared between four men and the second was shared between eight men. The boxes were meant for one man. Some men got the C ration, some got cigarettes. There was a lot of trading going on. Bell did not smoke so he traded his cigarettes for bread. One man got so desperate that he slipped out one night. He snuck past the guard, got into the mess hall, and loaded up on food to bring back to the barracks. On his way out the guard caught him. The man had a cleaver and he killed the guard. The next morning the Germans found out about it. All 2,000 of the prisoners were lined up on the parade ground. They were ordered to count off and every tenth solder was called out. The Germans demanded that the prisoners produce the man who did it or the Germans would shoot every tenth man. The Germans had machine guns set up in front of the prisoners. Finally, someone was produced. He was taken away and they never heard anything more about him. Some guys were in very bad shape and died. When that happened they could not be buried because the ground was frozen. The corpses would be wrapped in blankets. They hoped to be able to bury them when the ground softened in the spring but that never happened. Eventually, they began to hear the rumble of artillery fire and knew someone was fighting there. As the fighting got closer all of the guards left except one, a 67 year old cripple. Not long after the guards left a tank burst through the gates. The tankers started throwing chocolate bars into the crowds of prisoners. It took about three days for transportation to be arranged for the newly liberated prisoners. They were loaded onto trucks and driven to the Frankfurt Airport where they boarded C-47s [Annotator's Note: Douglas C-47 Skytrain transport aircraft] and flown to Camp Lucky Strike. The staff at Camp Lucky Strike was ready and waiting for them. They were able to eat as much as they wanted, 24 hours a day. They started putting weight back on. Some of them had gone down to 90 pounds. They were deloused and given new uniforms. After two weeks at Camp Lucky Strike they were put on the SS America and shipped back to the United States. It was a very pleasant journey back. They landed in New York and were put directly onto troop trains and sent south to Camp Shelby. Someone had notified Bell's family that his train would be in Hattiesburg at a certain time and they went out to see him. When the train reached Hattiesburg it passed right on through without stopping and went to Camp Shelby. They were processed and sent home. Bell stayed home for a month just enjoying life. When he reported back to camp he was sent to Miami for R and R for a month. From there he was sent to Fort Benning where he finished out the war.
Harry Bell served in Company F, 422nd Infantry Regiment [Annotator's Note: 106th Infantry Division] as a mortar gunner. As such, he carried the plate while the assistant gunner carried the tube. Each of the squad members carried eight rounds for the mortar. Leaving the United States was quite an experience for Bell. He had read about France and Germany and had heard of the Hurtgen Forest but seeing it was different. When they arrived in the Ardennes, they unloaded from the trucks, grabbed their equipment, and relieved the 2nd Infantry Division. The men of the 2nd Division had constructed log bunkers and that is where they spent their nights. During the day they went out patrolling. They had lookouts out in front of the lines watching for the Germans. One night they got a call in the middle of the night from the lookouts notifying them that a German patrol had been spotted and requesting mortar fire. Bell's mortars fired the requested rounds after which they heard nothing more from the Germans, or the outpost. The next day Bell and several others went on a patrol to the area where their lookouts were located and found them all dead. They do not know whether the Germans threw grenades into the position or if one of their own grenades accidentally went off. The first thing Bell knew about the start of the Battle of the Bulge was a massive artillery barrage followed by the sky being lit up by flares. Bell did not know it but the Germans had gone around them. They never hit them from the front but took the road on either side of them. Bell's unit reported enemy tanks moving up and down the line but the reply from higher up said that the noise they were hearing was German trucks with loudspeakers on them. It turned out that Bell's group was pinned between German panzer divisions. When Bell's unit got word to fall back to St. Vith they were hoping that they were heading there to make a stand. They only took their backpacks and clothes with them. They were told that they would be relieved so when they started getting tired some of the men threw away their packs and overcoats. Bell kept his overcoat because he was cold. They had not been issued any heavy clothing. They only had their uniforms, an overcoat, a helmet, and a rifle. Bell carried a .45 [Annotator's Note: M1911 .45 caliber pistol] because he also carried the base plate. The first night they stopped and were told to dig in. Bell found a trench that had been dug by the 2nd Infantry Division and slept in it. Prior to becoming a POW [Annotator's Note: prisoner of war], the only thing Bell saw was incoming artillery fire. He never saw any Germans troops or vehicles.
Harry Bell could not believe that they were surrendering. They had not fired a shot since leaving the front lines. The only weapons they had were their personal weapons and the mortars. They were told they were surrendering and were instructed to get rid of their weapons. After they were captured and were being escorted back to the railhead, one of the German guards, a soldier with a bandaged head wound, asked Bell how old he was. When bell replied that he was 18 years old, the German said that America must be giving up since they are sending children over to fight. Bell then asked the German how old he was and the man replied that he was 17. Bell just sighed. When Bell surrendered it was just his platoon and the executive officer of the company [Annotator's Note: Company F, 2nd Battalion, 422nd Infantry Regiment, 106th Infantry Division]. After they surrendered to a lone German soldier they were led to an area where there were many other German troops. They were not mistreated but they were searched. They were not fed or allowed to rest. Bell managed to keep his wrist watch hidden. The prisoners were allowed to keep their helmet liners and caps but not the helmet itself. Bell does not recall much about being loaded onto the train cars at the rail head but does recall being packed in very tightly. The prisoners took turns sitting down and looking out of the window. They were packed in the train cars from the time they were captured on 19 December [Annotator's Note: 19 December 1944] and until they arrive at the prison camp on Christmas Day. At Hanau they were allowed to get off and have a drink of water.
Harry Bell ended up in IX-B [Annotator's Note: Stalag IX-B in Bad Orb, Germany]. In the camp was a man who Bell believes was a German in an American uniform who acted as the go between dealing with the Germans in the camp. The man spoke broken English and claimed that he was from Philadelphia. Although there were a lot of Germans in the Philadelphia area, Bell knew better. The man would give them information but never enough to get their hopes up. They did not know the way things were really going until they heard the artillery fire. They began hearing the artillery fire about two days before they were liberated. Bell had been listed as missing in action as of 1 February [Annotator's Note: Bell had been captured on 19 December 1944 but not officially listed as missing in action until 1 February 1945]. He had written home to tell his family that he was alive but the mail never got through to them. The Red Cross did a good job trying to get things to them but most of the boxes were confiscated. To entertain themselves the prisoners would talk about food and all of the ways it could be prepared. They also talked about their favorite meal. For Bell, it was a stack of pancakes with a hole in the center with a fried egg in it. Another prisoner, a guy from Northern Mississippi, said he would do anything for a roasted possum. They also talked about their homes, and the need for cigarettes, drinks, and food. The only exercise they got was what they took themselves out on the parade grounds. Some of the prisoners saved their watches or money and would trade with the German guards for cigarettes and food. To keep their spirits up, they talked about religion. There was also a Catholic chaplain in the camp and he held mass every day. Bell is a Methodist but still went to the chaplain's services every day. He attended church regularly before the war but his experiences during the war have reinforced his beliefs even more. Bell was sleeping on the floor of his barracks when the tank busted through the gate. He was so weak he could barely go outside to see them.
[Annotator's Note: Harry Bell served in the Army as a mortar gunner in Company F, 2nd Battalion, 422nd Infantry Regiment, 106th Infantry Division. He was captured by German troops on 19 December 1944 and spent the rest of the war as a POW in Stalag IX-B in Bad Orb, Germany.] The day the first Americans showed up at the camp was a huge relief for the prisoners. Shortly after the liberating forces arrived, however, they left. It was about three days before transportation could be arranged to get the newly liberated prisoners to Frankfurt. Knowing he was a free man was indescribable. They all had faith that they would be liberated. When they were they were bubbling over with thanks. Bell does not know what happened to the one German guard who remained after the other guards evacuated the camp. Bell does not see any resemblance between life in Stalag IX-B and the play Stalag 17. The prisoners were all separated by rank. The officers were sent to one camp, the NCOs [Annotator's Note: non-commissioned officers], were sent to another, and the enlisted men to another. Bell was in a camp for enlisted men. The Germans went through the camps and pulled out any prisoner with a Jewish sounding name and sent them to work camps. The healthier of the POWs [Annotator's Note: prisoners of war] were sent to work camps too. One of Bell's friends, Malcolm Borax [Annotator's Note: unsure of spelling] from Boston, was one of those taken by the Germans. Bell does not think he survived the war.
When Harry Bell steamed into New York Harbor one of the first things he saw was the Statue of Liberty. When he saw it he knew he was home. He had seen it when he shipped out and saw it again when he came home. Seeing the statue filled him with elation. Shortly after arriving in New York they were sent back down south. Bell was able to go home to Hattiesburg for a month. While he was on leave he bought a new uniform and stood in a friend's wedding. After the war in Europe ended, Bell was tasked with interviewing men who were about to get out to urge them to stay in. Bell told the guys he interviewed that the Army would be a good life if they stuck with it. Some of the men did and some did not. Bell did not stay. When Bell went to college at Auburn after the war they wanted him to take ROTC [Annotator's Note: Reserve Officer Training Corps]. He refused and is glad that he did. All of his friends who stayed in the Army ended up serving during the Korean War. Going to school at Auburn was a happy time for Bell. When he got out of the service he wanted to stay in Mississippi to go to school but everywhere was so overcrowded. He decided to write to Auburn since he had taken courses there while he was in the Army and he was told that a spot would be made for him. Bell studied electrical engineering in college and that was the career he went into after school. Bell used his GI Bill benefits to go to school. He also had a bad foot and was considered partially disabled. He was completely covered for college and did not have to rely on any money from home. Bell graduated from Auburn as an electrical engineer when he was 24 years old.
After graduating from college, Harry Bell interviewed with a number of business who were then hiring engineers. Bell went to work for the Mississippi Power Company and stayed with them until retiring in 1988. In 1983, Bell's wife started a business that he helped with. He does run into some problems as he was trained as an engineer and he's now doing accounting. When Bell left Camp Lucky Strike in France he was taken to England where he boarded the SS America. The trip home was so pleasant that he does not remember much about it. He does remember eating all the way through France, England, during the voyage home, and after he got to Camp Shelby. He also made his family take him out to eat. He ordered a stack of pancakes with a fried egg in the middle [Annotator's Note: see segment titled Bad Orb Stalag IXb]. Bell was sent around by his company to interview manufacturing organizations that produced electrical equipment. He started in the United States with Westinghouse and GE [Annotator's Note: General Electric]. Their primary focus was large items like generators and turbines, items that could produce electricity that could power large buildings. Then they went to England. In England the electric system is run by the government and there was only one type of machine that they used which was built by C. A. Parsons. Bell's group was to take notes then return to the United States and tell the chief executive whether or not they thought they should buy electrical equipment from foreign businesses. Westinghouse and GE pushed for them to buy American. After leaving England they went to Sweden. The principle thing there was power transformers and the way they built them. During the trip the manufacturers did the best they could to wine and dine Bell and his group so they lived high on the hog. Bell was put up in a fancy guest house. He had a big room big a big wide bed and every morning the maid arrived and brought him breakfast in bed. He really enjoyed that. From Sweden they went to Germany. Like elsewhere in Europe, the people in Germany lived a different kind of life then in America. They went to lunch with representatives from a German firm and Bell was surprised that they were served schnapps with their meal and were drinking in the middle of the day. From Germany they went to France to look at their power transfer and electric air brake switches. Bell was familiar with their processes but they were different. They returned to the United States and filed their reports. Bell's opinion was that the products and methods in Europe were very good but he would not recommend any of them over General Electric or Westinghouse.
After they left France, Harry Bell's wife joined him and they toured Switzerland and Germany. They flew into Frankfurt, rented a car, and drove to Hanau where they spent the night. The next morning they drove to Bad Orb. Bell had to stop and ask a young girl for directions to the former prison camp. The girl referred him to the police. The police officer on duty could not speak English so he called his lieutenant who came down and talked to them in perfect English. The lieutenant offered to bring them to the camp. They walked around the camp. After the war the camp had been turned into a children's school. Bell spoke to the head of the children's school and asked the woman about the bodies of the soldiers that were under the barracks. She told him that the bodies were removed to a cemetery right outside of the camp and buried there. That night, Bell and his wife went to dinner with the police lieutenant. It turned out that he had also been a prisoner of war. He learned to speak English in a POW [Annotator's Note: prisoner of war] camp. The man worked under a supply sergeant selling items on the black market. When they got back to the police station the lieutenant explained that he had gotten his job at the police station because of his experiences in the prisoner of war camp. It was quite an experience for Bell. Seeing the camp again did not bother him. He was interested in seeing if it was still the same as it was when he was there.
After the war, Harry Bell kept up with several guys he served with but those contacts slowly faded away except for his best friend, a guy from Pennsylvania. Bell still corresponds with him. Bell's friend was in the headquarters section of the same company Bell served in [Annotator's Note: Company F, 2nd Battalion, 422nd Infantry Regiment, 106th Infantry Division]. They got separated when they were captured and Bell did not see him again until they got to Camp Lucky Strike after they were liberated. They had been friends since before going overseas. Bell's friend now lives in Indiana and is not in the best of health. Bell is disabled but can get around with the help of a walker. Bell believes that the war narrowed his focus. He started out taking basic courses like chemistry and math. Being in the prison camp changed him. When he got out he knew exactly what he wanted to do. He wanted to be an engineer and he wanted to work in Mississippi. Bell had bad dreams and physical problems with his stomach after the war but he does not like to talk about it. After the war he could not eat greens because it reminded him of the sugar beats they were fed in the POW [Annotator's Note: prisoner of war] camp. After he got home he did not talk about the war. His sole focus was on education. It was not until some people from a junior college contacted him asking if he would allow them to interview him that Bell started to open up about his experiences. It took so long for bell to open up because he did not want to think about it. He still does not know why he agreed to do that interview or why he agreed to do this one. [Annotator's Note: Interview ends with Bell asking the interviewer for a DVD copy of this interview for him to pass along to his children but he does not want them to watch it until after his death.] Bell has four sons, all of who live within two and a half hours of him. They stayed close to home.

It's that time of year again. Award season. The one time of year we get to celebrate films by awarding them with self glorifying statues. To me this is my Super Bowl. I like to be able to predict the winner and see how many I can get right. Lately it has been easier than usual. The award shows stick with the safe bets instead of awarding what is truly great. For the most part they are all good movies but sometimes the less inspired choice wins.

Pour the milk into the bowl of a standing mixer, and sprinkle in the sugar and yeast. Stir to combine and then let sit for about 5 minutes to let the yeast begin to come alive. Whisk in the egg, egg yolk, melted butter, vanilla and orange zest.
Fit your mixer with the dough hook, add 5 cups of the all-purpose flour and the nutmeg and mix on medium-low speed until the dough begins to come together. Slowly add enough of the remaining cup of flour so that the dough comes together into a soft, slightly sticky ball. Depending on the humidity in the air, this might take the entire remaining cup or only a bit of it. What you're looking for is a soft, smooth ball of dough that clings to the dough hook, does not stick to the sides of the bowl, but does stick slightly to the bottom of the bowl. If you stop the mixer and touch the dough, it should feel slightly sticky, but not so wet as to be confused with cookie dough.
Once the dough has come together, sprinkle in the salt. Let the mixer knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes. The dough should look very soft and smooth.
Butter a large bowl and dump the dough into the bowl. Butter a piece plastic wrap (or spray with non-stick spray) and use it to cover the bowl. Let the dough rise at room temperature for 1-2 hours, until doubled in size.
Add the lemon juice to a medium size saucepan. Peel, core, and dice the apples into pieces about the size of a pea. As you chop the apples, add them to the saucepan and toss them around in the lemon juice to prevent them from browning.
Add the rest of the filling ingredients to the saucepan. Stir to mix and set over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until the apples are soft and the liquid in the pan is thick and syrupy, about 15-20 minutes.
Scrape the filling into a bowl and let cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally.
Cover two large baking sheets with parchment paper and set nearby.
Dump the dough out onto a clean work surface and roll it into a square that's approximatly 16 inches. Spread the apple filling over the dough and roll the whole thing up into a very loose log.
Using a dough scrapper or the edge of a metal spatula, chop the dough from one end of the log to the other into pieces that are no bigger than 1-inch wide.
Push the pieces of dough into a sloppy mound in the center of your workspace and continue to chop the dough every which way, so that you have a gooey pile of small pieces of dough and apple filling.
Use your hands to scoop up a palm sized portion of dough and apples. Gently press the dough together in your hands and lay it down on one of the parchment covered baking sheet. Continue with the rest of the dough, leaving at least 4 inches in between fritters on the baking sheets. This is a messy job – so have fun with it!
Spray a couple of sheets of plastic wrap with non-stick spray and cover the fritters. Let rise at room temperature for 1-2 hours, until nearly doubled in bulk. OR – place the sheets of fritters in the refrigerator to rise for up to 12 hours.
Put the powdered and salt in a medium size bowl and add 3/4 cup maple syrup and the vanilla and almond extracts. Stir until smooth. Add more maple syrup if necessary to create a consistency similar to cream. Cover and set aside.
If the dough has been rising in the refrigerator, let the sheets of apple fritters sit out on the counter for about 1 hour to allow the dough to come to room temperature.
Pour enough vegetable oil into a large, deep saucepan to come up the sides 3 or 4 inches. Heat the oil to 350 – 370 degrees. Cover a baking sheet or serving platter with a few sheets of paper towels and set it near the stovetop.
Cut the parchment around two of the fritters so that it extends around the fritter by a couple of inches. Using a spatula, lower the fritters into the hot oil one at a time, parchment and all. Using metal tongs, gently lift the edge of the parchment paper, flipping the fritter over in the hot oil, and lifting the paper away.
Cooke the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until they are a deep golden brown. Do your best to keep the oil temperature between 350 and 360 degrees. Using a slotted spoon or spatula, transfer the fritters to the paper towel lined platter.
Within 1-2 minutes of the fritters coming out of the hot oil, drizzle the tops with a generous amount of maple glaze.
Apple fritters are best served soon after frying.

Parental Leave Toolkit
Becoming a parent is a life-altering responsibility, and for many, the thought of taking time away from a hard-earned career can be daunting. With this in mind, Alcoa has developed a simple, inclusive and innovative way to bridge the gap between work and family life and make parents feel valued, even while they're outside the workplace.
As part of our ongoing effort to set the gold standard for inclusive workplaces, we surveyed employees who were pregnant, on parental leave, or had recently returned and found there was still more to do to engage and support.
19% of supervisors were not staying in touch, resulting in feelings of isolation and anxiety
Biggest challenges were childcare, time management, guilt and confidence
85% thought a quarterly networking/support forum would be beneficial
Most wanted to receive communications on business/team updates, company news, careers bulletin.
The Parental Leave Initiative addresses these findings and assist managers and employees to align their expectations before, during and after parental leave.
Managers are now provided with a comprehensive toolkit to guide them through each stage, including 'staying in touch' checklists, targeted advice from HR and access to a 'Return to Work' database to share best practice across sites about flexible options.
At the heart of the initiative is the 'Mums' n Bubs', which acts as an information exchange and support network for soon-to-be, new and returning Mums. The quarterly forum is sponsored by the Managing Director who welcomes attendees and presents updates and insights into the ever-changing business environment, and it's a great opportunity to new Mums to feel connected and 'wanted' by the business, as well as share parenting and return to work tips.
Since 2014, Alcoa of Australia has achieved a 100 percent success rate of women returning to work after maternity leave.
Narelle MacFarlane
At Alcoa, we believe we have a responsibility to provide an inclusive, safe and supportive environment for every employee driven by our value to Care for People. We need every single heart and mind actively participating in what we do — encouraging us to think in new and different ways. By creating an inclusive workplace culture, and being committed to diversity and development, we give employees the best opportunity to succeed professionally at our company. As the CEO of Alcoa Corporation, I am honored to add my name to the signatories of the CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion pledge.

Reliving the moments: The best tennis match of 2017
Roger Federer Rafael Nadal
It is no doubt that men's tennis as a sport needs a lot of changes. The average viewing age of an ATP tennismatch is 61—up from 56 in 2006—and the frantic efforts by the ATP including the introduction of next-gen ATP finals that went to the extent of reducing the games in a set is a testament to the declining popularity of the traditional tennis format. In times like these, it was essential that something or someone make us realize that the old saying—"old is gold"—has a validity in these changing times. It was fitting then that that "something" turned out to be the Australian Open final of 2017 and those "someone" were none other than the very two people that took the very sport of tennis to its peak—their rivalry transcending the realm of tennis—and had now somehow come back from the dead ends of their careers to give us one final show.
There is no doubt that anyone who would have said at the start of the 2017 season that the first grand slam final of 2017 would be contested between a 35-year-old man—who hadnot won a grand slam for more than 5 yearsand was returning to the tour after taking a break of 6 months—and a 30-year-old—who had suffered enough due to his rugged style of play, hadnot won a hard court tournament since 2014day of rest---would hold up. But we were not to be disappointed as we weretreated to arguably the greatest final since Australian Open 2012.
oger came out all guns blazing as he took theopening set 6-4breaking in the 7th game using the combination of histopspin neo backhand and aggressive net play.Federer won a whopping93 percent of first serve pointsin the set and Rafa was left searching for answers. But being the fighter Rafa is, he rallied back to take a double break lead in the second set and though Federer broke back once, the Spaniardsecured the set 6-3.The culprit for the second set loss was Federer's winning percentage on the first serve dropped to 56 percent. The most important moment of the match came in the third set came whenFederer saved 3 break pointsin the opening game of the third set-all with aces out wide Federer eventually won theset 6-1 hitting an incredible 18 winners.Nadal took thefourth 6-3with the key stat being the 13 unforced errors coming of Roger's racquet---majority of them from the forehand side. Roger went off the court and took a medical timeout at the end of the 4th set. Many thought that the hope of an 18th Grand Slam for Roger would remain a dream givenhis poor record (1-5) in matches that went to a deciding setagainst the likes of Rafa and Novak in key matches. The demonsof losing to Rafa in 2008 Wimbledon final and 2009 Australian Openseemed to be getting the better of Roger ashe went down 1-3 in the 5thset having already squandered three break points in the previous Rafa service games. It was then that something clicked for Roger. He later confessed that he closed his eyes and said to himself to go for it. And go for it he did, as he hit aflurry of beautiful backhands in the 6th gameand when Rafa missed a forehand at break point it seemed as if Roger had finally broken free from the seemingly impenetrable jail of Rafa's game. Rafa saved 3 break points in the next game but when Roger won a 26 stroke gruesome rally—the best of the tournament—the gates were closed for Rafa. As Roger closed out the match with a forehand winner—a shot that was unsuccessfully challenged by Rafa—tears of joy rolled down Federer's cheeks and he jumped like a teenager who had won his first tournament. Roger Federer had not only defeated his arch nemesis in a historic final, he had made merealize that time travel was a possibilitybecause I felt like I was taken back to a time when I was a 10-year-old kid,watching the end of the 2007 Wimbledon final—the last time Roger defeated Rafa in a Grand Slam Final.
The match had enormous consequences with regard to the remainder of the tennis season in 2017. Not only did Roger went on to win 7 titles in the year—including a record-breaking 8th Wimbledon crown—he also went on to defeat Nadal in their next 3 head to head meetings. Nadal too went on to finish the year as world no.1 marked by his victories at the French Open and US Open. It can only be hoped that the 2017 Australian Open final was not their final meeting in a Grand Slam Final because when Roger and Rafa play against each other it is not just another tennis match but an equivalent of a magic show in the eyes of us tennis fans.

MPP McNaughton: Training and skilled trades promotion 'nice fit'
Louis Pin
Published on: October 23, 2019 | Last Updated: October 23, 2019 1:25 PM EDT
Labour Minister Monte McNaughton Postmedia file
Local MPP Monte McNaughton is calling his recent promotion a "nice fit" after the roughly 17 months already under his belt as a member of Premier Doug Ford's provincial government.
McNaughton's job description changed Monday along with two other members of provincial parliament. The former minister of labour will now oversee training and skills development as well, adding hundreds of staffers and a little more than $1 billion to his portfolio.
The Lambton-Kent-Middlesex MPP oversaw the creation and continuation of roughly $144-billion worth of projects as minister of infrastructure, his first role under Ford's government. On Wednesday, McNaughton said it's up to government, labour and business leaders to ensure Ontario "has the skilled trades to build those projects."
"With demographic shifts, new technological advancements and a disruptive global economy, we need a new approach to skilled trades and development," McNaughton said. "Those are the three (factors) we're looking at."
Ford's provincial government has made skilled trades a priority to the point where colleges and universities are being financially encouraged to offer more skilled-based, experience-based training. Part of that includes giving young people the option to go into the skilled trades, something McNaughton called a "bottom-up" approach.
"I have a close friend who's an insulator in Mt. Brydges," McNaughton said. "He makes more than $100,000 a year with benefits. Those are the stories we want to (promote). The opportunities are out there."
A dearth of young skilled tradespeople in the region has prompted local governments and school boards to launch initiatives like in Strathroy-Caradoc, which recently offered an after-school boat-building initiative to get young people interested in carpentry.
Another solution is to encourage more women to consider the construction trades, McNaughton said. That's a solution already supported by the Canadian government to the tune of $10 million over three years through the Women in Construction Fund. While places such as Newfoundland and Labrador have begun to see more women enlist in the trades, McNaughton said, Ontario still lags behind.
The long-term goal is to better prepare young workers in Southwestern Ontario for a volatile job market, one that saw thousands of manufacturing jobs disappear after the 2008 recession. Many of those who lost their jobs following 2008 in places such as Chatham and St. Thomas did not have post-secondary training and found it harder to find a job tailored to their education and experiences.
"Growing up in these communities, I know — every town used to have at least one manufacturing facility," the Newbury native added. "I saw first hand what happened during that global recession."

Sting trade Martin to Steelheads, claim Myskiw off waivers	 Coloured fentanyl powder seized after collision


Head lice are the bane of many parents existence because they are difficult to see and also difficult to remove. This process is made even more stressful by many schools' no-nit policies. These policies make it so that your child cannot return to school until he or she is completely lice and nit free.
Existing since the beginning of human history, head lice are highly adaptive and motivated to ensuring the continuation of their species. They have found ways to cope with being immune to those things that would once harm them. This makes it very frustrating for parents to try to find a safe and effective solution for getting rid of head lice and nits.
But before you can hope to find a treatment, you must first understand the insect with which you are dealing. By understanding head lice and their behavior, you will be able to take the necessary steps to ensure that your child remains lice-free.
Head lice are tiny brown tinted parasitic bugs that reside and live off of the blood on the head of a human host. Head lice crawl quickly and they are very difficult to remove from the hair without they assistance of a product specifically designed to treat head lice. These small insects cannot fly or jump. Head lice use small claws to crawl from head to head and hair to hair.
Head lice usually spread from person to person through direct head-to-head contact, but it is still a possibility that someone can get head lice from another source. Head lice can live in bedding, brushes, towels, clothing, hats, car interior, and furniture temporarily. But, head lice can only live for 48 hours of of the head and nits can live for up to 10 days off of the head, so it is not as common to become infested by lice this way. It is still highly recommended that you take precautions to prevent lice by teaching children to not share personal items with others.
When lice make their home on a human head, they start to feed of of the scalp secretions and lay eggs (nits). Nits are smaller than a mature louse and they are stuck to the shaft of the hair with a glue-like substance that makes the difficult to remove. The nits can only be removed when a product is used to dissolve or loosen the glue that is holding them to the hair. When the nits hatch, nymphs will come out from their shells looking to feed from the head. Nymphs cannot reproduce until about 1 week later. The nymphs then become fully grown after feeding and turn into mature lice. They can now reproduce and the lice life cycle can continue for about a month, or until the adult louse dies.
Understanding the behavior of head lice is important, but so is finding the right treatment for your child.
Will Over-the-counter Lice Treatments Get Rid of Lice?
When a parents come across head lice on their child, they will usually go to the closest store to buy the first lice treatment they see. The issue with many over-the-counter lice treatments is they are usually not effective at getting rid of lice. Nowadays, research has shown that head lice have become resistant to the chemicals and pesticides that are contained in these over-the-counter lice treatments. The new stronger strain of lice is known as Super Lice. These insects cannot be treated with over the counter lice killing methods.
Parents must be aware of these new resistant lice and must to be prepared to battle this insect with a new lice treatment method.
Since the emergence of super lice, companies have been dedicated to creating new methods to treat them that doesn't involve conventional chemicals and pesticides. ClearLice is a company that created a natural head lice treatment method that works to get rid of lice without the use of dangerous chemicals.

Q: Simplest way to create simple monochromatic button I need to create simple monochromatic button, just black frame with black text (I know, with 1bit it will be ugly) on white background. Is there any method which doesn't need paintEvent to be re-implemented?

A: The best way is using your own style sheet.
A basic example could be the following one. In this example, we set a style with white background, black border and black text. The opposite when the user presses the button.
Depending on your requirements, you could set the style for states like disabled, checked or hover.

Obama and the Ideals of Catholic Social Thought
by Rev. Robert Sirico • May 15, 2009
Phil Lawler over at Catholic Culture has written a brief and insightful piece that addresses a question frequently asked, "Is Catholic Social Teaching Inherently Liberal?" It is worth a read. Excerpt:
The Church clearly teaches that the moral duty of all believers to help those in need, to exercise the "preferential option for the poor." But is it self-evident that the effort to fight poverty should be waged through impersonal government programs, supported by mandatory taxation, rather than by the freewill offerings of charitable donors? Is it self-evident that the federal government should supervise these anti-poverty programs, although the principle of subsidiarity would seem to militate in favor of local solutions to local problems and individual approaches to needy individuals? Is there a prima facie case for allowing the Church's own charitable efforts to be subsumed into the tax-subsidized programs, so that "Catholic Charities" is for all practical purposes a government agency?
These questions are rarely raised when parish "justice and peace" committees meet. The conservative Catholics who make make these arguments are generally not members of those committees; they are already too busy with their work on the pro-life committees! So liberal Catholics eventually come to take it for granted that what seems so obvious to them must be equally obvious to their fellow Catholics. They are genuinely surprised to learn that some faithful Catholics are not enthralled by the promise of an Obama presidency, even apart from issues involving the dignity of life.
Rev. Robert Sirico
Rev. Robert A. Sirico received his Master of Divinity degree from the Catholic University of America, following undergraduate study at the University of Southern California and the University of London. During his studies and early ministry, he experienced a growing concern over the lack of training religious studies students receive in fundamental economic principles, leaving them poorly equipped to understand and address today's social problems. As a result of these concerns, Fr. Sirico co-founded the Acton Institute with Kris Alan Mauren in 1990. As president of the Acton Institute, Fr. Sirico lectures at colleges, universities, and business organizations throughout the U.S. and abroad. His writings on religious, political, economic, and social matters are published in a variety of journals, including: the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, Forbes, the London Financial Times, the Washington Times, the Detroit News, and National Review. Fr. Sirico is often called upon by members of the broadcast media for statements regarding economics, civil rights, and issues of religious concern, and has provided commentary for CNN, ABC, the BBC, NPR, and CBS' 60 Minutes, among others. In April of 1999, Fr. Sirico was awarded an honorary doctorate in Christian Ethics from the Franciscan University of Steubenville, and in May of 2001, Universidad Francisco Marroquin awarded him an honorary doctorate in Social Sciences. He is a member of the prestigious Mont Pèlerin Society, the American Academy of Religion, and the Philadelphia Society, and is on the Board of Advisors of the Civic Institute in Prague. Father Sirico also served on the Michigan Civil Rights Commission from 1994 to 1998. He is also currently serving on the pastoral staff of Sacred Heart of Jesus parish in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Fr. Sirico's pastoral ministry has included a chaplaincy to AIDS patients at the National Institute of Health and the recent founding of a new community, St. Philip Neri House in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Malay Mail Online: Already The Greatest Woman Player Ever?
http://www.themalaymailonline.com/opinion/peter-long/article/already-the-greatest-woman-chess-player-ever
The Third Time Was As Unlucky!
Three old friends and candidates for FIDE General Secretary from Asia united in their love for chess had all in their time tried to remove "the Evil Emperor" so as to save FIDE! ( L-R: Panupand Vijjuprbha (Thailand) - General Secretary for Bessel Kok 2006, Ignatius Leong (Singapore) - General Secretary for Kasparov 2014) and Abdul Hamid Majid - (Malaysia) - General Secretary for Karpov 2010).
Malay Mail Online: So, What Is Chess Talent?
http://www.themalaymailonline.com/opinion/peter-long/article/so-what-is-chess-talent
Malay Mail Online: So Where Do You Get Your Chess News?
http://www.themalaymailonline.com/opinion/peter-long/article/so-where-do-you-get-your-chess-news
All Must Go!
In my column for the Malay Mail Online "A country (federation) with no chessplayers?" I had already pointed out that the Malaysian Chess Federation (MCF), amongst other things, had no sponsors and a website that is has never been updated while also observing that it had a committee that served only to hold office for what ever personal reasons.
There has been a reaction on the ground to what was said but so far no tangible action resulting and while I don't expect anything to change, perhaps I should explain it in a different way.
What Malaysian chess is today can be argued to be a poorer reflection of what FIDE (World Chess Federation) is rapidly becoming, because on one hand we now have a rent seeking model in place and on the other hand the real stakeholders, parents and players, choose to tolerate a situation which all but ensures they will suffer.
Let me list the main problems:
1. Tan Sri Ramli Ngah Talib is the MCF President but has so little interest in the game that he has not even until today bothered to learn the moves, provided zero leadership, the only visible efforts on his part are to play the politics needed to keep himself in office! Not only has he not made any effort to get sponsorship but has survived three successive Deputy Presidents he invited to come on board and who put money in for him to spend. Yet Tan Sri has showed no interest in accepting funds for development such as offered by the Kasparov Chess Foundation and is even letting well supported projects for chess in schools agreed with the likes of MARA die a natural death.
2. His sidekick, the man who needs him to remain MCF president so as to keep his own position and so remain relevant, is Gregory Lau. With no funds from a MCF with Tan Sri at the helm, he has successfully (if clumsily) developed a system to keep himself in the money. One part involves controlling all selection and international representation so as to charge commitment fees to players and leverage administrative charges from parents, all which go direct to his pocket. Greg has also been caught on more than one occasion charging players for official places and who knows what his dealings are with organisers as the MCF representative? Till today he has not returned RM 1,000 to me from playing in the Khanty-Mansiysk Olympiad much less the RM 5,000 advance for the Istanbul Olympiad and I have also had my sponsor cheated into paying for a room given free as Head of Delegation at a World Youth Championship, (Don't even go to the issue of his keeping FIDE fees paid to MCF for licences). The other part is in having a monopoly on organising of National events where questions are constantly raised as to where the entry fees go to... and it goes on and on.
3. Despite the Kuala Lumpur Chess Association being a member in good standing we do not get any communications from the Malaysian Chess Federation, of course as said before, the MCF website since launch has never been updated and so I have no doubt this is not personal and that all suffer largely the same and that includes emails and phone calls to Greg constantly ignored although he is all sweetness and light when he needs something from you.
4. While FIDE has lowered the entry level into its rating system to 1000 (when I first played chess it was 2200!) and now also includes Rapid and Blitz chess and so ensures we have a universal international system that caters for all levels, being integrated from beginner to World Champion, MCF continues to promote and prioritise its national rating system, the cost which is not only transferred back to players but a system which lacks expert administration. This is to me very serious as firstly events complying to international standards so as to qualify to be rated helps raise the level of local organising and secondly a list that is published globally monthly ensures benchmarks together with needed currency and integrity especially given it is a basis for internationsl selection.
5. MCF has in a year lost one Deputy President and one Vice President, also its Secretary and its Treasurer - these were clearly the only honourable people there - and no one knows who is now acting for them in these positions if indeed it matters given Tan Sri and Greg seem to be able to do anything they like. Given who the rest of the MCF committee members are, one cannot expect they would bother to question the embarrassment brought to Malaysia by their actions in Tromso, after all they contribute nothing except to show up for the occasional committee meeting. But now some are suddenly buzzing around because again there is a chance to go for a trip under the national flag - so we have the usual machinations by and between officials and parents going on as to who goes and plays in the World U-16 Olympiad. Of course for them and too many others, the stage at even any local event together with requisite photo opportunity is always a very important part of their job.
6. Is it so difficult to have development plans - for grassroots, states, young talent, national team, etc. and to have fundraising, marketing and promotional activities? Is it because that is real work and those in MCF are not up to it? Are we also the only National Sport body without an office of our own and a single employee? Perhaps we should start with addressing this.
Quite a few people have told me there is no alternative, some in MCF even going so far as to excuse them keeping their position and doing nothing by claiming there is no one else?
What a joke! Such arrogance! I have long advocated that all must go, that means all of us, those in MCF and others outside of the same generation. So as to create space and opportunity for a younger generation to step forward, and they will, don't need or have the right to worry who they are!
Yes, mistakes will be made, they may or may not seek advice from some who could help and sometimes will even fall on their faces, and so what? It does not matter, vested interests should not prevail. After all given what the current MCF and those who openly aspire to be part of it have or can contribute, really any idiot will do, and I have a great deal of confidence that we have not idiots but very capable 20 and 30 years olds who will do much better.
They deserve a Malaysian chess that is theirs to shape and to own.
Malay Mail Online: Looking Forward To Two Local International Opens In December
http://www.themalaymailonline.com/opinion/peter-long/article/looking-forward-to-two-local-international-opens-in-december
Two Big Losses to Chess
This year we had our own Laurence How pass away due to complications arising from a mercifully short battle with cancer (http://www.thefidetrainer.com/2014/03/r-i-p-laurence-how.html) and sadly now Evelyn Koshnitsky too has left us at 99 years of age.
Evelyn, Mrs K, as I and many others called her, had not been well the last few years but until the end she remained alert and engaged in the game she had literally lived her life for.
My connection to her was primarily on two special occasions and both involved Laurence!
The first was when Mrs K brought a team of girls for a tour of Malaysia, I think it was the late 70's and while this was a time when very few girls played chess so there was hardly any locally at all to match them and so we put up a National Junior Boys team which was anyway well beaten!
In 1985 I finally made the trip to Adelaide where Mrs K lived and so naturally led the organising of women's chess in Australia from there and this was for the Asian Girls Championships.
Again it was Laurence who found the money and it was at this event that Malaysia had its finest moment with my student Audrey Wong winning our first ever major Asian title and I remember especially well the two adjourned games won in the first two rounds against the two favourites!
Till today I have wonderful memories of that trip, the backyard BBQs, Alan Goldsmith holding forth at the Adelaide Chess Centre, long discussions with Gary K., watching cricket with our host family, and of course Anne Slavotinik picking up and driving us to her house where her new found student cooking skills were on display!
For the reader to understand and appreciate what Mr K did, perhaps the following blog post will provide a perspective: http://swatchless.wordpress.com/2009/08/17/computers-women-and-things-like-that/
http://www.fide.com/component/content/article/15-chess-news/8322-obituary-gm-zaw-win-lay.html
I will be the Chief Arbiter at the Myanmar Open from 23-30 November 2014 and I am very happy that with the sudden passing away of Zaw Win Lay, his country's first and only Grandmaster, the event has now been renamed after him.
He was a very fine player in his time, very well respected and a big inspiration to Myanmar chess players.
A few years back I had even looked to employ Zaw as a training-analysis partner for young talents at Polgar Chess Asia but it did not work out because the gentle man missed his country and life there too much.
A pity as he would have helped make a difference with some of the young talents breaking into the national team today.
Rest in peace Zaw, your contributions to chess everywhere will never be forgotten in your country and by all of us who came into contact with you, and much more importantly that any of your many achievements, you were a good man.
