What does all this mean?  It seems like an internal NS error, but I am not sure where to look for any clues on what it is.  How can I fix it?
Thanks.

Last week Courtney and I pitched the work of the "KIWIS" team to the Creative Media Production year two students. The purpose (of ours, and the other 3rd year pitches) was to recruit second year students to our team, as part of next semesters vertically-streamed classes.
Our pitch was very well received, with everyone loving our characters 'Kori' and 'Moemoe'. I dedicated a significant part of our pitch to showcasing our models and rigs which our modeller Tom Zhang and our Rigger Kyle Phan put hours upon hours of work into. I'm really hoping the effort we've put into having these characters be both likeable and functional will be what draws new members to our team.
Over the mid year break I'll be working on some of the set pieces in ZBrush, including Kori's tree-house! So expect to see a few WIP posts for those pop up.
First post on the new website - I'm setting it up as a part of my 300 level portfolio class, but it's a long overdue part of my online presence and I'll be keeping it updated with all of my new work.
I'm currently working on "Kiwi's Can Fly" as part of my 300 level classes. It's a series of simple animated shorts about a Kiwi named Kori who longs to fly. We're currently in pre-production, so mostly scripts and stuff - but we have some great looking development models which I'll share once they're completed. The show is being created for TVNZ's new kids platform HeiHei.
I've set up some contact avenues on my about page, twitter, linkedin, artstation etc. so give that a look if you're trying to get in touch.


Captain Lee thinks his crew needs to be less focused on their social and love lives.
OK, I'm back. Sorry about missing last week, but I ran into some technical difficulties in New York and wasn't able to get my work done on time. But, I'm back on the grid now. Would someone please tell me who got on board and stole my crew, because I'm not sure I recognize these people at all! Did someone get on board and loosen up the lug nuts, because it sure seems like the wheels are coming off for sure.
The guests are just the best. We have romance in the air, but it shouldn't affect my crew. Where are their heads? Never mind, I withdraw that question. Everyone, save for a couple, seem more preoccupied with their social, and love life than the task at hand. Which, by the way, is running a successful charter yacht to the highest standards. Instead they are running around worrying more about getting laid than anything else. I feel I could write a novel about everything that has transpired this week, not simply a blog. So we might as well jump right in.
Lauren, I must say I was shocked at how rude you were to Kate. You interrupt a conversation that she is having with Nico and demand that he stop this conversation because, "You and he need to have a conversation…NOW." Really? I agree with Kate, who in the world do you think you are? You are a deckie, and a junior deckhand at that, and you're interrupting a chief stew, a department head, because what you have is much more important than a serious safety issue. You better get over yourself girl or things won't be going well in your future, I assure you. You were the one that left the pizza trail up the stairs to the wheelhouse; right after you demanded Kelley make you a grilled cheese sandwich. On a lighter note, I did love your line when you called Emily a "cheeky sod." I thought that was funny. A bit of advice, if you can't behave better than that when you drink, you might want to rethink how much you consume before you go barking orders at anyone.
Nico, how do you take orders from and junior deckhand, turn your back on a department head, and just walk away. Rude behavior as well. I expected better from you. Especially when all she is trying to do is find out how we had a serious safety situation on board and you were the one who found it. Where are your priorities? And let's see, you seem to think that I have it out for the deck crew. Don't you think that someone needs to check on you guys, because you obviously are not getting it done properly? I would prefer that I not spend my time baby-sitting you guys, but then that would require that you do your jobs properly. So when the guests notice it, it's time for me to step in. In all fairness, you guys nailed the docking, and you did a fine job in pulling the anchor. And with exception of how you dealt with Kate, good job on catching the potential disaster with the panini maker as well.
So now on to Kelley. I feel that this week for you falls under the category of "What were you thinking?" I do think that Emily should have been more forthright in letting you know that she wasn't interested in you in a romantic way. That being said, I do think that when you found out she was going out with Ben, you did take it out on whoever was close. The Sierra and Kyle thing was not your concern. Their personal lives are not management's concern until it affects their work. It didn't affect Kyle's work, and it was his problem to deal with. It was not your place to have a confrontation with Sierra in Kyle's defense. He can put his big boy pants on and handle that himself. And while we are at it, since when does management blatantly state in front of his crew, "All I want to do tonight is get drunk?" Right, that won't embarrass you or the boat, will it? As far as the date Em had with Ben, get over it. Should she have been more up front with you, yeah, but that didn't happen and she went out with Ben. Message delivered, maybe not how you liked it, but delivered nonetheless. Deal with it. This is the real world and you are going to have to learn to handle rejection and criticism much better than you displayed in this episode or you're in for a lot of frustrating times my friend.
Oh, and Kate didn't throw you under the bus in front of me, your deck crew did, mainly Lauren. You owned up to the panini maker being your fault, way to step up, but most of the drama that was caused was by you. Not exactly the way I like to see my bosun act. I think you need to stop trying to be your crew's best friend and boss at the same time. Never works and you may find that out the hard way I fear. But for me, I think you will bring it around, I still have faith.
Kate, I think you should have quit while you were ahead with playing cupid. You seemed to have hit a home run with Em and Ben, but I feel the Kyle and Sierra thing was a total disaster. I have to disagree with you on one point too. I think Em should have told Kelley that she had no romantic interest in him at all. Had she, the evening out would probably went a lot smoother. And if I were not so terrified of you, I would probably tell you that. I thought you and the girls did a great job on charter, but I hope you didn't shoot yourself in the foot with Em and Ben getting together. You may find yourself getting tag teamed if they start spending more time paying attention to each other than their respective jobs. Oh, and good job getting Nico to play Elvis, since he is the most handsome man. And that qualifies him for the job. Well done. I also thought your advice to Kelley was spot on as well. It's going to get interesting I fear, and I'm fearless. Another good charter for you.
Moving on to Emily. I was glad to see you and Ben enjoy each other's company. I thought it quite nice. I do wish you had told Kelley ahead of time like you did Lauren and Nico. I thought he could have used that information more than they could. Now I hope you and Ben can keep things in perspective so your respective roles on the yacht aren't compromised. All in all, I thought you had a good week as well.
Hey there, Ben. Wow, I don't think I have ever seen you display shyness. I thought it was quite becoming on you. You really were smitten with Emily. I have never seen you take out the trash for anyone. Wow. I hope, as I told Em, that it doesn't interfere with the way you both perform your duties on board. What always never ceases to amaze me about you is your insane ability to pull outstanding dishes out of your head and create wonderful dinning experiences just from your own knowledge of your craft. Always impresses me when you do that. The guests loved it all and you had a good week sir.
And last but not least, Sierra. I only have a couple of things I noticed. I do think you should have rejected Kate's advice about going with Kyle, but if you were going to do it, then either tell him it's not a date, just platonic friends going to spend time, or pay attention to him, not your phone. That was just plain rude. I also didn't think it was in your best interest to confront Kelley. You were in a no-win situation with that one. It wasn't Kelley's business, but you brought him into the mix when you brought it up to him. Obviously Kyle speaking to him was enough to stoke that fire. I felt you didn't owe Kelley any explanation; Kyle, yes, Kelley, no.
So on that note, I don't think I left anyone out. I don't really feel this was a very good week for the crew of Valor. As I stated in the beginning of this blog, most of the crew could have spent more time worrying about their jobs and not their social lives, and it would have been time well spent. And if the previews are any indication of what I have coming over the horizon, I don't see things getting much better anytime soon. On that note, thanks for watching and may you have the wind at your back, and calm water beneath your keel. Until next time.


General Description: The fine wiry leaves of this incredible desert plant create such a sculptural look they are coveted by modern landscape designers. Its dense rosette of foliage is stemless but very mature specimens develop a stout trunk-like base, though this is rarely seen in cultivated landscapes.
The Dasylirion Longissimum is a slow growing durable evergreen shrub. Small plants are relatively inexpensive, but larger ones are a fortune because they usually don't grow more than one centimetre per year in their country of origin.
It is also great in xeriscapes and large succulent and cactus gardens. Very pretty when lighted from below. Dasylirion longissimum is fire-resistant and unloved by deer and rodents.
Exposure: They thrive best in full sun, but can be grown with some shade and humidity, but may become leggy. Like most arid species, Dasylirion Longissimum needs full sun and very well drained soil. It is extremely heat tolerant.
Blooming season: They may go years without blooming, then send up the tall flower stalk in summer. The bloom looks a lot like a giant torch or poker. The flower stem becomes woody with age and the flowers are replaced by dry brown fruits. These can be left to add architectural beauty to the landscape or cut and used in dry arrangements. Bloom time late winter/early spring.
Special notes: The leaves are flexible, unpinned and create movement in even the slightest breeze. These plants are dioecious, and require both male and female plants to set seed. Flowering occurs in winter.

It's a new year and here we are the first day of January 2015. This month of every year just might be the healthiest month of the year. Isn't this when 80% of us make those resolutions to be healthier, to change for the better, promises to work out more or eat cleaner?
Ask any gym staff member when their busiest time of the year is, it will without a doubt be January! If only we could keep our promises to ourselves and loved ones on all these New Year's Resolutions!
So it seems apropos that January is also Adopt a Rescue Bird Month, as there are many companion birds that need — and deserve — a new, healthier start in life.
Unfortunately, there are far too many pet birds relinquished to adoption organizations, and, compared to cats and dogs, their longer lifespans puts parrots at an even greater risk of losing their homes due to life changes, death (out living their loved one), divorce, abuse, etc. Is the adoption option best for you and your family?
While you work on improving yourself this month, consider improving the wellbeing of a bird in need. Here are some reasons to consider the adoption option if you are thinking about welcoming a feathered friend into your heart and home.
Although, we realize adoption of an older bird who may or may not have aggressive behavior, health and or hormonal issues just like adopting a child it should be considered a forever commitment so do your research and expect the good with the bad just like with any relationship.
Reason #1: Because you would be giving a parrot in need a loving, caring home for rest of their life.
Reason #2: Because a lot of birds in rescues or adoption organizations are in the 2nd and 3rd decades of life which is their sexual maturity will give you a better idea of what all parrots will go through during this age.
Those who have never experienced this Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde personality in the spring will get full training for any and all companion parrots they purchase or rescue.
Most customers of ours have both, a parrot they have raised from baby and one or two they have rescued, so this experience and education gives them insight and knowledge on what to expect when their once "cuddly" baby becomes 'of age'.
Reason #3: Each person or family have good reasons why they buy a specific species, in my experience the number one reason is because they are known for being the best talkers. So in adopting an older companion parrot that already talks or mimics sounds, songs or speech is the only way to guarantee your bird will talk. When buying a baby there are no guarantees this bird will ever say a word.
Wanting a parrots that talks, however, should not be your sole reason for the adoption or wanting one in your life as a companion. Yes it's an added bonus as this chatter will keep you company and its an opportunity to interact with an already established vocabulary but investing in this as your sole reason could be potentially a disappointment.
Reason #4: A reputable parrot rescue will match you and your family with the appropriate species you are qualified to adopt. As they have had the bird and have cared for it they better understand his personality and quirks so this will better match your personality, living situation, skill level and expectations.
Most reputable organization will have an application process which will also allow them to get to know you and your needs or wants so that they can assess which species would be right for you and which ones are NOT.
Reason #5: An upstanding adoption organization or rescue will have most of the birds' health issues if any under control by the time he/she is ready for adoption. The good news is that this is the bulk of the expense when adopting a parrot that may have been neglected, fed a poor or the wrong diet, or in unsanitary conditions.
Reputable rescues will also have these birds well on their way to good health and converted nutritionally before you take them home. They will have exposed the birds to fruits, vegetables and a variety of nutritionally balanced diet for that particular species in which you will be taught to continue.
If you are able to open your home to a rescued bird forever we encourage you this month to reach out to your local parrot rescues and start the process in bringing one of these enchanting, intelligent, playful animals home.
If this is not an option for you and your family there are other ways you can help rescue organizations even if you can't adopt there are openings to volunteer your time, donate supplies, food or through monetary contributions. Every rescue has a "Wish List".
Please make a conscientious well-researched decision as adopting and or buying a companion parrot is a long time commitment that should be taken seriously, not experimentally.

Charles-François-Alexandre Cardevac de Gouy de Havrincourt (nascut prop de Noyon, 16 de març del 1699 - mort a Espirà de l'Aglí (Rosselló), 1 de març del 1783), eclesiàstic, fou bisbe d'Elna-Perpinyà de 1743 a 1783.

Biografia
Charles-François-Alexandre Cardevac de Gouy, anomenat també abbé de Havrincourt, procedia d'un llinatge molt antic, potser d'origen bretó però establert a l'Artois des del començament del . Nasqué al castell de Bouchy, a la diòcesi de Noyon (Picardia).

Es llicencià en drets civil i canònic, i va ser vicari general de la diòcesi de Noyon i posteriorment de l'arquebisbat de Cambrai, l'any 1743 va ser nomenat canceller de la universitat de Perpinyà, «Inquisidor de la Fe» i bisbe d'Elna-Perpinyà. Confirmat el 16 de desembre i consagrat en febrer següent per l'arquebisbe de Cambrai, el seu fou un llarg episcopat d'una quarantena d'anys. En el transcurs del seu exercici, l'any 1759 reduí a cinc el nombre de canonges assignats a les celebracions bianuals (el 25 de juliol i el 7 d'octubre) dels oficis a Elna, rebaixant de contingut antigues disposicions que feien que el bisbe i tots els canonges de la catedral de Perpinyà haguessin d'assistir anualment a un gran nombre d'oficis eclesiàstics a l'antiga sèu diocesana. El 1760 beneí la col·locació de la primera pedra del nou edifici de la Universitat de Perpinyà. Fou una persona de gran rectitud moral  i el 1777  promulgà una constitució sinodal prohibint als eclesiàstics de la diòcesi que freqüentessin cafès i sales d'espectacles. El gener del 1779 obtingué el nomenament d'un coadjutor en la persona del seu futur successor Jean-Gabriel d'Agay, i finalment en 1781/1782 la incorporació de l'abadia de la Real a la mensa episcopal (el 1764 ja ho havia aconseguit de l'abadia de Fontfreda, situada devora Narbona). Morí a la residència rural episcopal, a Espirà de l'Aglí, i fou enterrat a la Catedral de Perpinyà.

Shay recalls, "It's dehumanizing. It's out of this world almost where I didn't feel like I was even a person. And the only thing that makes you able to even live with yourself a little bit is the same exact thing that's killing you."
For 10 years, getting her next fix ruled Shay Walters' life driven by the pain of abandonment and betrayal, and no hope for a future.
Shay says, "I knew everything in me that I would die a drug addict."
Growing up, Shay was popular, a good student and athlete who had loving parents and thought the world of her dad.
Shay recalls, "My father made me feel confident and able and intelligent and independent and strong."
In the coming years, he also showed Shay a way of life that almost destroyed her. It started when Shay was in the 7th grade and a team of sheriff's deputies raided her family's home looking for drugs. They found nothing and her parents convinced Shay it must have been a mistake. At school however, the accusations and ridicule began to spread. Defending her dad's reputation, Shay began attacking anyone who crossed her. At 13, she got her first criminal assault charge.
Shay says, "I wanted to be tough and I wanted people to think that they couldn't hurt me. So I started to physically fight people if they said something to me, I would get violent."
Inside though, she was hurting. Then during her freshman year in high school, her dad was arrested for possession and selling drugs. Now she knew the accusations were true! Although it was only an 11-month sentence, Shay's world was shattered.
"It was almost like a death," Shay adds, "It was like grieving your father, even though he was only away temporarily. But for a young girl, that's shocking, you know, and we were definitely used to having this family dynamic and in the blink of an eye it had changed."
At one point, she even attempted suicide.
Shay shares, "I was trying to escape the sadness that my family had crumbled, and I didn't necessarily belong anywhere anymore."
Trying to find her place, she started drinking, smoking weed and popping pills. Then at 17, she got pregnant and had a son, Tyce.
She would soon leave her boyfriend, Tyce's father, because he'd become abusive. However, a bigger problem quickly surfaced when Shay discovered the pain meds she was given after her c-section, also soothed her emotional pain.
Within two years, she had gone from an addiction to opioids to heroin.
Shay recalls, "I didn't have to think about what I was doing. I didn't have to feel guilty. And it completely numbed me."
By her early 20's she was selling drugs, and in and out of jail on multiple dui and assault charges.
Shay says, "It became a normal way of life for me to be thrown in and out of jail. And I didn't think that people got sober."
By the time Shay was 25, she had survived numerous overdoses, and multiple suicide attempts. She had also lost custody of her son to her mother and older sister.
Shay remembers, "I felt like I didn't have any reason to even be here on this earth. It didn't empower me or wake me up as in 'I need to get sober; I need to get better; I need to get better for my son.' I just had no hope."
In October 2015, Shay was arrested on nine felony drug charges and facing 22 years.
Shay says, "And I remember thinking that my life is over, that this is not one that I could come back from, and this is how I'm going to spend the next 20 years of my life."
In jail awaiting sentencing, Shay began attending AA meetings. She also met a girl she had used drugs with before who was now sober and had met someone special. His name was Jesus.
Shay remembers, "And she helps me say a prayer that's basically saying, 'Thy will, not mine, be done. I give my life over to you, whatever you need from me.' And I prayed it with her. And I gave my life to God. My freedom from drugs was instantaneous. The moment that I asked God into my heart on a jailcell floor, the want to even do them completely subsided. I've never used a drug since. I don't want to use. I have joy and happiness without them."
And, repenting of everything she'd done, she says she also found God's forgiveness, and unconditional love.
Shay shares, "I don't have that hole in me craving attention and love from the world, I only get it from God. I know where my joy comes from. I know where my identity comes from. I know who I am."
After serving only two years, Shay was released and went on to find success in life. She regained full custody of her son.
She is now married to Rich and raising a blended family. Together they run a licensed behavioral health center called Peer Solutions' where they help people who struggle with addiction.
Shay also ministers to more than half – a – million people on her Facebook show called, 'From prison to purpose.' She lets everyone know God is God of second chances.
Shays says, "Everything that I went through was for His glory. There is hope and people do recover, people change their lives. God can bless you. Whatever it is that you dream about your life right now, He can times that by a million."

UPDATE: Person Of Interest In Homicides Captured In Northwest Harris County Is Charged With Two Capital Murder Counts
Investigators say it's possible another capital murder count could be filed Wednesday
| Posted on July 17, 2018, 7:40 AM (Last Updated: July 17, 2018, 6:03 PM )
Jose Gilberto Rodriguez is in custody.
Sheriff's deputies in Houston acting on a tip from a caller Tuesday arrested a suspected serial killer linked to the deaths of three people. He has been charged with with two capital murder counts and another capital murder count could be filed Wednesday.
The caller spotted a Nissan Sentra that authorities had earlier said was being driven by Jose Gilberto Rodriguez, 46, a felon who spent decades in prison before being released last year.
The Harris County Sheriff's Office (HCSO) was notified and a deputy attempted to stop the Sentra but it sped away, according to Sheriff Ed Gonzalez. The car came to a stop after a chase lasting about 15 minutes and Rodriguez was taken into custody, he said. A handgun was found in the car, which police say was stolen from one of his victims.
"It's possible that he was looking to score his next victim so we're very relieved, very thankful to the citizens of Harris County for calling in, for being diligent and reporting this to us so that we could take action," Gonzalez said during a news conference.
During a joint conference Monday with Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo, Gonzalez had described Rodriguez as a possible serial killer.
Considered a serial killer, armed & dangerous. Possibly linked to at least 3 murders, plus the robbery/shooting of @METROHouston driver this morning and a home invasion. Stay safe and alert. @houstonpolice @HCSOTexas working collaboratively. #hounews RT @houstonpolice: https://t.co/FQC1tIrdzP
— Ed Gonzalez (@SheriffEd_HCSO) July 16, 2018
Rodriguez is suspected in the shooting death of 62-year-old Pamela Johnson in her Cypress-area home Friday; the killing of 28-year-old Allie Barrow inside a mattress store in Houston on Saturday; and the fatal shooting of a man inside another mattress store in Houston on Monday. Authorities have not identified the third victim.
Rodriguez also is a suspect in the robbery, shooting and wounding of a metro bus driver on Monday and a home invasion robbery on July 9, investigators said.
Gonzalez said there were "strong indications in each crime" that Rodriguez was involved but declined to elaborate. Authorities have not released further details of the crimes, such as the motive behind each act and whether the victims were randomly chosen.
The suspect's criminal history dates back to at least 1989 when he was charged with a variety of offenses that include attempted aggravated sexual abuse, burglary and auto theft. He spent decades in state prison and while there was convicted of possession of a deadly weapon. He was released on parole in September.
Rodriguez was arrested Tuesday on a parole violation and Gonzalez said additional charges were pending.
Later on Tuesday, David Crane, a sergeant with the HCSO, said Rodriguez had been charged with two capital murder counts relating to the deaths of 62-year-old Pamela Johnson at her Houston-area home Friday and 28-year-old Allie Barrow inside a mattress store Saturday. He said another capital murder count could be filed Wednesday in the death of the man who was killed inside the other mattress store on Monday.
Investigators also said Rodriguez had cut off an ankle monitor several days before the first killing he's accused of.
Acevedo criticized the tracking of parolee activity in the Houston area and said he would form a task force to study the issue and recommend changes to the Texas Legislature.
Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner released a statement underlining that Rodriguez's arrest "was the result of great work by the Houston Police Department, along with the Harris Sheriff's Office and other law enforcement partners" and extending "the city's deepest condolences to the victims' survivors."
Our community can breath a sigh of relief this morning as a result of the dedication and excellence of @HCSOTexas & @houstonpolice. Please continue to review your security cameras and please do hesitate to come forward with any information on this suspect's activities. https://t.co/ANWdb3Ltpn

As you can see, he's still pretty small–smaller than Matthew's foot!
He sleeps hard and plays hard.
We drove to Iowa to pick him up from the breeder. He's seven weeks old and an absolute delight. But also a handful. Not much time to journalize!
14 Responses to New baby!!
He is too cute. Many congrats on the new addition.
Thanks! We're quite enchanted by him.
Ain't he though? It feels like every other word out of my mouth for the last few days has been "awww!" Heh.
That is just too cute to put into words, to rip-off.
You really know how to pick the cute ones.
Thanks! He definitely has cute down, that's for sure! And he's an absolute sweetheart.
Hee. We are so the doting parents. I keep calling Matthew over to see what new thing the baby's doing. And he does the same thing! We're so silly.
how did you manage the acquisition?
Actually, we met Fantasia the skunk at Fantasm. Remember the Mustelid Man's costume in the costume contest? The guy with the red robe with huge sleeves? The skunk he had was Fantasia and we met and talked to her owner after the contest. On the basis of that, we decided to look into skunks as pets, surfed the net, drove to Florida for a skunk show so we could interact with and learn more about the critters (and to make sure I wasn't allergic. I'm quite allergic to dogs and cats). We hooked up with Fantasia's breeder via the group that sponsored the show and saw what good-natured animals and ideal pets they were and voila. Come spring–kitten season–we drive to Iowa ('cause we don't believe in an animal being shipped cargo under any circumstances) and pick up our new baby.
keww, thanks for the info.
did you check wether or not it was considered a "exotic" animal for legal sence.. i think that in TN it is Illegal or difficult to own a skunk.
do i get to meet her at DCon?
Skunks are illegal as pets in many states and require licenses to own in others. They're legal in Georgia (no license needed) as long as they're not black and white–i.e. it must be clear by their markings that they are domesticated. Hobkin's markings are called "chocolate chip." As you can see from the pix, he's a smooth, chocolate brown and white. The "chips" are the white spots on his knees and behind his ears. "Chocolate classics" don't have the extra white markings. Domesticated skunks come in a slew of colors. Aside from the standard black and white striped, they come in chips, swirls, albino, apricot, blond, lavender, charcoal, just about everything but blue and green. So it's not much of a hardship avoiding the black and white patterning which is illegal in Georgia. There's a slew of info on the Internet regarding which states skunks are illegal/require licenses in. And we did a lot of leg work to find the breeder we went to. The main breeder (which struck me as being an animal "mill") of pet skunks in the U.S. is also a fur farm. That is, they sell their surplus animals overseas to be killed and skinned. We refuse to patronize such an establishment, so it was worth our while to find a smaller, reputable breeder who didn't sell his animals for their skins. Even if it meant a road trip to Iowa.
Hobkin will still be a baby during Dragon*Con and I don't think it'd be a good idea to subject him to crowds. Plus, I'm not sure what the Hyatt's policy is regarding pets. But we'll be taking more pictures of him as he grows up. You can check them out at our website off of Musta-lay-day Grove.

The Legacy of Mark Bingham Lingers 20 Years after His Heroic Death on 9/11
Written by Kevin Phinney| September 11, 2018| Entertainment, Headlines
Entrepreneur, rugby player, gay man: Mark Bingham was known to friends, family and co-workers as a lot of things in his short life. Today, he's remembered across the globe as a gay hero of 9/11.
Bingham was one of those who decided to put their lives on the line to prevent hijacked United Flight 93 from colliding with its intended target, which many believe was either the Capitol Building or the White House in Washington, D.C.
The 31-year-old Bingham and fellow passengers Todd Beamer, Tom Burnett and Jeremy Glick assessed the situation and decided to storm the cockpit of the plane, where they hoped to retake control of the flight or at least prevent it from being used as a missile.
The world now knows that because they took action, the plane roared from the sky into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, where ceremonies were held today to commemorate their loss and once again pay tribute to their courage.
Mark Bingham is remembered with particular fondness by the gay community, not only because of his selfless act of bravery in the face of odds that were at best dire. He exemplifies the gay man so many aspire to be: compassionate, wise, clever, and imposing enough to make a difference in a physical altercation.
Having broken bones as a high school soccer player, he was no stranger to pain. Later, he'd push through an endless string of injuries to help take the University of California Berkeley to two national championships.
Those who knew him well readily tell the curious that Mark was an intense fellow who actually relished strategies for plowing through a field of adversaries — although during a match, he was just as likely to pick someone up, pat him on the back and tell him he's doing a great job.
By the end of the '90s, Bingham was partnered and had opened his own high-tech PR agency, the Bingham Group. It was not a life someone would have been happy to walk away from. He could have done nothing and hoped for the best.
What he did do was call his Mom once United Airlines 93 was hijacked. "Hi Mom, this is Mark Bingham," he said with atypical formality. "I just wanted to say I love you. I am on a flight from Newark to San Francisco, and there are three guys on board who've taken over the plane and they say they have a bomb."
What we don't know is what Mark, Todd, Tom and Jeremy did that saved hundreds of lives, only that the hijackers died without success, taking the passengers and crew of Flight 93 along with them.
A year after his death, a biennial international rugby union competition predominantly for gay and bisexual men, was established in his memory. The Mark Kendall Bingham Memorial Tournament has since become known worldwide simply as The Bingham Cup.

The post-crisis EU financial regulatory framework: do pieces fit?
The post-2008 financial crisis was the most severe in living memory, and its effect is still being felt today. The ramifications for the EU have been particularly acute. Its response, encapsulated in a set of some 40 legislative proposals, has brought about a radical transformation in the EU financial sector regulatory framework. EU institutions, notably the Commission, the European Parliament, the Council of the European Union and the European Council, were placed under considerable strain by these events. Given the magnitude of the task they faced in responding to a once-in-a-generation crisis, we conclude that the institutions have all performed well. Nonetheless, the sheer scale of the reforms means that the financial sector regulatory framework inevitably contains some weaknesses. In particular, the expected high standards of consultation and impact assessments were not always maintained. Yet this should not detract from the significant achievement that the reformed framework represents. One of the key planks of the new framework was the establishment of the new European Supervisory Agencies (ESAs). These bodies have endured a baptism of fire since their inception in 2011 and have been responsible for much good work. Yet they are hampered by several fundamental weaknesses, including a lack of authority, insufficient independence, marginal influence over the shape of primary legislation, insufficient flexibility in the correction of legislative errors, and inadequate funding and resources. The powers and authority of these agencies need to be enhanced. We note that the most flawed of the legislative reforms were the result of political pressures to take prompt action, and/or to make the financial sector pay for the crisis. Prime cases include the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD), the bank remuneration provisions in the Capital Requirements Directive (CRD IV), and the contentious plans for a Financial Transaction Tax. Yet these are exceptions. We find that the bulk of the new regulatory framework was necessary and proportionate, and would have been implemented by the UK even if action had not been taken at EU level. We also find that it was highly desirable that regulation should be produced for the EU as a whole, both to strengthen the Single Market and to avoid regulatory arbitrage. That said, it was perhaps inevitable, given the amount of new legislation, its broad range and the speed of its introduction, that there would be a number of inconsistencies, rough edges and elements which, with the benefit of hindsight, were disproportionate or even misguided. Not enough consideration was given to the overall effect on the financial sector of such a huge programme of reform, or to ensure consistency with international regulation. We therefore welcome the commitment of the new European Commissioner for Financial Stability, Financial Services and Capital Markets Union, Lord Hill of Oareford, to review the cumulative effect of the various reforms. Such a review should include a thoroughgoing internal audit of the entire legislative framework to date, with a view to making recommendations to remedy the key weaknesses that are identified. A further oversight was the belated recognition of the importance of the growth agenda. We therefore welcome the Commission's recent proposals for an Investment Plan for Europe and for a Capital Markets Union. Yet the responsibility for promoting growth and prosperity lies not only with the Commission and the EU institutions but with every Member State. The UK has the largest financial sector in the EU, and the implications of these reforms for this country are therefore immense. We believe and regret that the UK's influence over the EU financial services agenda continues to diminish. The UK Government and other UK authorities must take urgent steps to correct this, and to enhance the UK's engagement with our European partners. This Committee will seek to play our own part in our liaison with the EU institutions. A united effort is needed to convey the message that the prosperity of the City of London, and the financial services industry it hosts, is in the interests not only of the UK but of the EU as a whole.
