Scandinavia: The West's Citadel of anti-Semitism
Feb 18, 2017Anti-Semitism, At the Top, Europe, Israel1
Hate for Israel has become a real obsession in Scandinavia, which revived the glorious partnership between the liberal "useful idiots" — the ones concerned about equality and minorities — and the Islamists, the ones concerned about submission and killing "infidels".
Despite the fact that Jews in Norway are only 0.003 percent of the total population, Oslo is now world's capital of European anti-Semitism. Norwegian newspapers are full of classic anti-Semitic tropes.
A festival in Oslo also rejected a documentary, "The Other Dreamers," about the lives of disabled children, simply because it was Israeli. "We support the academic and cultural boycott of Israel," wrote Ketil Magnussen, the founder of the festival.
The same racism exists in Sweden. Dagens Nyheter, the most sophisticated Swedish newspaper, published a violently anti-Semitic op-ed entitled, "It is allowed to hate the Jews".
Does Sweden's Foreign Minister Margot Wallström really mean that to defeat Islamic aggression, Israel must surrender? The Palestinians' situation is indeed desperate, but as they have had full autonomy for decades, their desperate situation is caused by their own corrupt leaders who appear deliberately to keep their people in misery try to blame it on Israel, in the same way that people maim children to make them "better" beggars.
The Nazi daily Der Stürmer could not have drawn it better.
On January 12, the Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten published an article about Jared Kushner, US President Donald Trump's son-in-law and his senior adviser: "The Jew Kushner reportedly pushed for David M. Friedman as the new ambassador to Israel", Aftenposten wrote. The newspaper had later to apologize for calling Kushner "the Jew".
A few weeks earlier, the city council of Trondheim, Norway's third-largest city, passed a motion calling on its residents to boycott Israeli goods — a city aspiring to be "Israel-free". Then it was the turn of another Norwegian city, Tromso, population 72,000, whose city council approved a similar motion. More than 40% of Norwegians are already boycotting Israeli products or are in favor of doing so, according to a poll.
What hell is happening in Scandinavia, whose countries, Norway and Sweden, are bastions of political correctness, champions of multiculturalism and, according to the Global Peace Index, the most "peaceful" countries in the world? "The most successful society the world has ever known", however, as The Guardian labelled Sweden, has a dark side: Israel-slandering and anti-Semitism.
Sweden and Norway are manipulating public opinion in the way immortalized by George Orwell in his novel "1984" as the "Two Minutes Hate". These countries have seen the creation of a public opinion according to which Israel is a merciless enemy of humanity that ought to be dismantled forthwith.
A year ago, Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu presented at the Knesset, Israel's parliament, an updated map of Israel's friends and enemies. Only five countries are openly at war with the Jewish State: Iran, Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan and North Korea. Then there are the friendly countries, including many non-Muslim African countries that once had no diplomatic relations with Jerusalem. But the map also included a European country that for the first time moved into the "non-friends" camp: Sweden.
Hate for Israel has become a real obsession in Scandinavia, which revived the glorious partnership between the liberal "useful idiots" — the ones concerned about equality and minorities — and Islamists, the ones concerned about submission and killing "infidels".
Despite the fact that Jews in Norway are only 0.003 percent of the total population, Oslo is now world's capital of European anti-Semitism. Recently, the Norwegian National Theater opened its Festival in Oslo with a dramatic video clip. The video urged a boycott of the National Theater of Israel, Habima, in Tel Aviv. Funded by the government and aired at the festival, the clip shows an actress posing as a spokesman for the National Theater and calling for a boycott of the Israeli theater. Pia Maria Roll labelled Israel a state "based on ethnic cleansing, racism, occupation and apartheid". Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded saying that the seven-minute video recalls "the Norwegian collaborationist Vidkun Quisling and Knut Hamson" (a Nobel laureate for Literature who sympathized with Hitler).
It is not the first time. A festival in Oslo also rejected a documentary, "The Other Dreamers," about the lives of disabled children, simply because it was Israeli. "We support the academic and cultural boycott of Israel," wrote Ketil Magnussen, the founder of the festival.
Norway is the European country most engaged in the campaigns against Israel. All Norwegian universities refused to host Alan Dershowitz for a speaking tour about the Middle East. A proposal for an official academic boycott against Israel was promoted by Norway's University of Trondheim. If approved, the boycott would have been the first of its kind in a European university since the Nazi boycott of Jewish professors.
The Norwegian Ministry of Finance has excluded Israeli companies, such as Africa Israel Investments and Danya Cebus, from its Global Pension Fund, a fund that invests the national wealth in foreign stocks and bonds, and which holds more than one percent of all global stocks. The Norwegian trade union EL & IT, which represents workers from the energy and telecommunications sectors, has boycotted the Histadrut, Israel's national labor union.
In Norway, anti-Semitism has affected many "intellectuals". One is Johan Galtung, a Norwegian sociologist dubbed the "father of peace studies", a proud leftist who made anti-Semitic and anti-Israeli statements at the University of Oslo and who claimed (falsely) that there is a link between the perpetrators of the massacre at Utoya in Norway and the Mossad.
Norwegian newspapers are full of classic anti-Semitic tropes. A cartoon in the largest newspaper, Verdens Gang, showed the former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's feet as those of an animal. In Aftenposten, the second-largest newspaper, a rat eats the Star of David, the symbol in the Israeli flag. Another daily, Dagbladet, a glory of the Norwegian Left, published a cartoon in which Palestinian terrorists leave an Israeli prison with the German motto of the Buchenwald concentration camp: "Jedem Das Sein".
Evelyne Zeira, who works at Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem, asked a Norwegian researcher, Ingrid Harbitz, to send her material to develop treatments for Palestinian victims of thalessemia, a blood disease. Harbitz's answer was: "Due to the current situation in the Middle East, I will not deliver material to Israeli universities". To her, Israeli Jews and even Palestinians do not deserve Norwegian blood!
During Israel's war against Hezbollah in 2006, the daily Aftenposten published an article by Jostein Gaarder, Norway's most famous writer and a "thirdworldist", in which he imagined the destruction of Israel. Gaarder, whose novel "Sophie's World" has been translated into 53 languages and has sold millions of copies, justified the expulsion of Israeli Jews from their land. "We no longer recognize the State of Israel," Gaarder wrote, as if he were an Iranian imam.
The same racism exists in Sweden.
A few days ago, the Swedish Parliament discussed a deal between Volvo, the country's most important car maker, and the Israeli bus companies. Volvo provides, in fact, some buses which keep the Israelis alive in Judea and Samaria. Jewish schoolchildren in these areas have to use armored buses to avoid being shot and murdered by Palestinian terrorists. But according to the chairman of Sweden's parliamentary committee on foreign affairs, Kenneth G. Forslund, their right to life, granted by Volvo's buses, is "a violation of international law". Swedish dockworkers sponsored a week-long boycott of Israeli ships and goods. The old good days when Swedish ships saved the Jews from Nazis are gone.
Sweden's former Minister for Housing and Urban Development, Mehmet Kaplan, a Muslim of Turkish origin, took part in the pro-Hamas assault against Israel by the "Freedom Flotilla" in 2010. He compared Israel to Nazism and called for the "liberation of Jerusalem". The education minister, Gustav Fridolin, has been arrested for protesting in front of the anti-terrorism fence built by Israel in Judea and Samaria to protect the lives of their citizens on the coastal plain, massacred by suicide bombers.
Recently, Swedish public television broadcast "The Occupation of the American Mind", a conspiracy film about the "Israeli Lobby" supposedly controlling in the United States. During the Second Intifada, in a Stockholm Museum, a photograph was reprinted of a smiling Palestinian suicide bomber, who had killed dozens of Israelis at a restaurant in Haifa. In the photograph, he was on a white boat in a bathtub full of blood-red liquid. Aftonbladet, Sweden's largest daily newspaper, then ran an article by Donald Bostrom where, without any evidence, he charged the Israeli army of harvesting the organs of Palestinians.
Dagens Nyheter, the most sophisticated Swedish newspaper, published a violently anti-Semitic op-ed entitled, "It is allowed to hate the Jews", in which the historian Jan Samuelson said that until Israel ceases to "occupy" the territories, hatred for the Jewish State will be justified. He totally disregards, however, that the Jordanians illegally seized the territories in the aggression they initiated against Israel in the War of 1948; in 1967, Israel, in fact liberated its own land from illegal Jordanian occupation.
After Trump's election, the daily Dagens Nyheter ran an anti-Semitic cartoon, in which the Israeli Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President-elect were being carried by an Orthodox Jew, a Ku Klux Klan member and a gun-carrying man branded with the Israeli flag. The Nazi daily Der Stürmer could not have drawn it better.
After the massacres of November 13 in Paris, Sweden's minister of Foreign Affairs, Margot Wallström, said that "to counter the radicalization we have to go back to the situation in the Middle East where the Palestinians see that there is no future for them and must accept a desperate situation and resort to violence".
Does Wallström really mean that to defeat Islamic aggression, Israel must surrender? The Palestinians' situation is indeed desperate, but as they have had full autonomy for decades, their desperate situation is caused by their own cynical and corrupt leaders who appear deliberately to keep their people in misery try to blame it on Israel, in the same way that people maim children to make them "better" beggars.
Meanwhile, the Trondheim synagogue has become one of the best protected buildings in Norway, and Jews live under siege in the Swedish city of Malmö. Vidkun Quisling, the Nazi collaborationist, would have been proud of his heirs, even if now they are self-proclaimed "progressives".
In January 2009, an Arab mob in Malmö pelted a peaceful Jewish demonstration with bottles, eggs and smoke bombs. The police pushed the Jews, who had a permit for their gathering, into an alley.

Home > About ATC > Policies and Procedures > Policy 3.11: Faculty Development & Review Process
Faculty knowledge, expertise, and skilled teaching are the cornerstone of student success at Anoka Technical College. Academic Affairs, through the implementation of Anoka Technical College's Strategic Goals and the Master Academic Plan, is committed to enhancing student learning inside and outside the classroom, as well as nurturing excellence in faculty by supporting their professional development within their fields of expertise.
In accordance with Minnesota State Board Policy 4.9, MN Statute 43 A.20, and The Higher Learning Commission Criteria for Accreditation-Criterion 3, evaluation of faculty is to demonstrate the quality and effectiveness of the faculty member's work and to determine successful completion of probationary status. Per Minnesota State Board Policy 4.9, each Minnesota State institution and Minnesota State itself shall have in place a procedure for evaluating employees, including faculty and administrators, on an annual basis.
The purpose of the evaluation process is to ensure that the college meets the needs of students and the community, to assure proper allocation and assignment of faculty, to identify strengths of faculty members and to assist in building onto their strengths and reducing any gaps in performance. The evaluation and its result will be treated with confidentiality.
Faculty reviews will be completed in a timely manner consistent with requirements found in Minnesota Statutes. Implementation of the faculty review process will be conducted according to the Anoka Technical College's Procedure on Faculty Development and Review.
Unlimited faculty will be reviewed on a three-year rotation with student course evaluations completed every semester. Probationary (full and part time) faculty will be reviewed on a yearly basis with student course evaluations completed every semester, until completion of the probationary period. Temporary (full and part time) and adjunct faculty will be reviewed as determined by the supervisor with student course evaluations completed every semester for every course section. Upon the request of the Vice President of Academic and Student Affairs or the Academic Dean, off-rotation review(s) may be conducted.
The faculty review process includes:
a) The Faculty Review Form (filled out by faculty)
b) The Faculty Review Form (filled out by administration)
c) The Faculty Review Form (filled out during the faculty review consultation by the faculty member and administration or by peer reviewer during the classroom observation if this option is selected by faculty)
d) Pre-Observation Form (filled out by the faculty and submitted to Academic Affairs a minimum of one week prior to the scheduled observation).
e) Professional Development Plan (filled out by faculty and submitted to Academic Affairs a minimum of one week prior to the Faculty Review Consultation).
Non-probationary faculty may request that the classroom observation be completed by peer review, but Administration retains the right to choose the review method for each faculty member. Probationary faculty, and faculty with temporary full time, temporary part time, and adjunct status will have classroom observations completed by administration. Faculty may request an administrator other than their supervising dean to complete their faculty review.
Peer reviewers must hold non-probationary status as a faculty member. Faculty who elect to have a peer review will have the peer reviewer selected by Academic Affairs. The faculty member will schedule the classroom observation with the peer reviewer. This observing faculty member will complete the Faculty Review Form and discuss the report with the observed faculty member as soon as possible (no later than one month) after the observation. When faculty are reviewed by peers, the Administration will meet with the faculty member to discuss the Professional Development Plan for that year.
Non-teaching non-probationary faculty will be reviewed, on a three year rotation, non-teaching probationary faculty (full and part-time) will be reviewed on a yearly basis, and non-teaching temporary (full and part-time) and adjunct faculty will be reviewed as determined by the supervisor, using the Employee Performance Evaluation (filled out by Administrator) and the Employee Self Evaluation (completed by employee. If the non-teaching faculty is probationary, the faculty member will be reviewed annually until they are no longer probationary).

Tropical Storm Barry
CNN hosts 2020 town hall at SXSW
By Veronica Rocha and Brian Ries, CNN
Updated 8:44 a.m. ET, March 11, 2019
What we covered here
Just ended: CNN's Jake Tapper and Dana Bash just moderated three CNN town halls from Austin, Texas, featuring three Democratic candidates for president.
Who participated: Former Maryland Rep. John Delaney, Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, and Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Indiana, took questions about their candidacies.
9:33 p.m. ET, March 10, 2019
Buttigieg: I'm married because of "the grace of a single vote on the US Supreme Court"
From CNN's Eric Bradner
Pete Buttigieg said gaining the legal ability to marry his husband gave him a personal view of the importance of policy decisions by politicians "who had power over me and millions of others."
"That intimate thing in our lives exists by the grace of a single vote on the US Supreme Court," the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, said at a CNN town hall Sunday.
Buttigieg, who came out as gay during his 2015 re-election campaign, said he entered politics "in Mike Pence's Indiana" at a time that "you could either be out, or you could be in office, but you couldn't do both."
He called for a federal equality law to extend non-discrimination protections to LGBT people and said, "We've got to end the war on transgender Americans."
"Let's be under no illusion: There are attacks on transgender Americans from the Oval Office. Picking on troops, people willing to lay down their lives for this country, not to mention teenagers in high schools," Buttigieg said.
Buttigieg talks about losing his father this year, and hopes he is making his dad proud
From CNN's Dan Merica
South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg remembered the life of his late father on Sunday, telling an audience here in Austin that before he announced, he told his intubated father that he hoped he would make him proud and his father mouthed, "You will."
Joseph Buttigieg, a professor emeritus of English and retired director of the Hesburgh-Yusko Scholars Program at Notre Dame, passed away in January to cancer, shortly after Buttigieg announced his presidential exploratory committee.
"He was excited. He came to this country from a tiny nation. A place where Buttigieg is a common name," Buttigieg said to laughs.
"He came here for the educational opportunities that this country offered he became an American citizen after that. He believed in education. He believed in this country, but he also was very passionate about all the ways it was falling short."
He added:
"So I don't think he ever guessed I would be doing this. We didn't either until about a year ago. But when I was getting ready to make the announcement, he was already in pretty rough shape. And I wasn't sure I should go, but I knew he wanted it to happen. I said, 'I hope I make you proud.' And he said, 'you will.' I think we are. I'd like to think we are."
Buttigieg wants to make Medicare for all available for those who want it
Pete Buttigieg is not opposed to Medicare for all, but he said it should be an option.
"The best way to do that is a medicare for all who want it. We take some flavor of Medicare, you make it available on the exchange as a public option. And you invite people to buy into it," he said.
But Buttigieg said putting it on the exchange isn't the only solution. He said work is needed to improve the system.
"We have to do that unfashionable technical work to make the system more efficient. We have also just got to broaden assets until everyone has health care," he said. "I refuse to accept that when citizens of just about every developed nation in the world enjoy this, that we should settle for less," he said.
Buttigieg, 37: "I have more years of government experience under my belt" than Trump
Pete Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, said Sunday that experience was what qualified him to run for president -- despite the fact that he is only 37-years-old and represents a city of roughly 100,000 people.
And in doing so, Buttigieg took a shot at both President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence.
"I have more years of government experience under my belt than the President. That's low bar. I know that. I also have had more years of executive government experience than the vice president," he said.
He added that he had "more military experience than anybody to walk into that office on day one since George H.W. Bush."
"I get I'm the young guy in the conversation, but experience is what qualifies me to have a seat at this table."
Buttigieg said the question was "fair" and that he "shouldn't be running if I weren't prepared to answer it."
The mayor's age often comes up on the campaign trail, in part because Buttigieg looks even younger than his 37 years, a fact he often notes.
"I understand the audacity of running for president at my age especially because sometimes downstairs I'll still get carded when I order a beer," he recently said.
She wants to know what they plan to do about the opioid crisis and LGBT rights
Outside the town hall earlier, Toni Schach told CNN she wanted to know where the candidates stand on two issues especially important to her, LGBT rights and the opioid crisis.
Schach struggled with addiction in the past and has been sober for more than a year.
"It's something that means a lot to me," she said. "I think that there is just not enough resources out there. I think that the criminalization of drugs was a really bad idea. The war on drugs obviously isn't working, when the crisis is getting worse and worse, so I think somebody needs to take it on in a different way."
Schach said she also interested in learning more about Pete Buttigieg and — more importantly, how to pronounce his name.
"When you read about it, it's like boot-edge, boot-edge-edge. It's like a million ways, so I am excited to hear how he pronounces his last name," she said.
Schach said she also wants to learn more about his policy ideas on LGBT issues and how he "plans to work with the other side."
NOW: Pete Buttigieg is answering questions
Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Indiana, has taken the stage and is answering questions.
He joked a bit with CNN's Jake Tapper about the pronunciation of his last name, which has baffled some people.
"Back home they just call me Mayor Pete," he said, reiterating what he has told reporters.
So how do you pronounce Pete Buttigieg's name anyway?
From CNN's Veronica Stracqualursi
If you're wondering how to pronounce Pete Buttigieg's name, you are not alone.
Last year, his husband, Chasten, tweeted a list of possible pronunciations: "boot-edge-edge," "buddha-judge," "boot-a-judge" and "boo-tuh-judge."
Are you still at a loss? No worries, Buttigieg was recently asked that question and here's what he said:
Fun fact: Buttigieg's name is Maltese and roughly translates to "lord of the poultry."
But if Buttigieg is too tricky to pronounce, he has an easy work-around.
"Around South Bend, they just call me 'Mayor Pete,' and that's fine with me," he told reporters.

Ernest James Barry (1882 – July 1968) was a British rower and Thames Waterman, five times Sculling World Champion during the early part of the 20th century and winner of the Doggett's Coat and Badge Race in 1903.

Sculling career

Ernest Barry was brought almost straight from novice to race for the English Sculling Championship in 1908 against George Towns, who had already won the world championship four times and the English Championship twice. That day, Barry, as well as beating Towns, set up a record over the course which lasted for many years. His time was 21m.12.5s.

In August 1910 he competed for the World Professional sculling championship for the first time. Barry wanted Richard Arnst, the existing champion, to travel to England for the match, which he was willing to do provided certain expenses were met. (Normally a challenger would travel to where the champion lived.) Barry was unable to arrange the expenses, but then the British South Africa Company offered to stage the match in Northern Rhodesia. They believed the match would promote the company and the country. Stakes and expenses were guaranteed by the company, and the match was arranged to be run on the Zambezi River on 18 August 1910. The 3.25-mile race above the Victoria Falls was what may have been the first serious high-altitude competition. The heat and the altitude affected both scullers, but Arnst was the better of the two, and he crossed the line in front of Barry to retain his title.

World Champion

In  July 1912 Barry won against Arnst the World Championship on the Thames and retained the title for five years. This was the first time an Englishman had held the title since 1876, and Barry's victory was hailed as "Refutation of charge of England's athletic decadence." In reality Barry regained the championship by adopting the lifestyle of his nearest foreign competitors, including accepting £2000 of sponsorship from the Daily Mail in the form of travelling expenses.

In October 1912 Barry retained his Title by defeating Edward Durnan, of Canada, on the Thames course. The following July (1913) he also defeated Harry Pearce of Australia, again on the Thames course. He held off one further challenge by beating Jim Paddon of Australia in September 1914. No matches were held during World War I.

Barry lost the World title to Australian Alf Felton on the Thames course in October 1919. Both men had been servicemen in the first World War, and Felton was still in Europe at the time of the challenge, so he did not need to travel from Australia. Felton offered Barry a return match, which was to be held in Sydney. During the race in August 1920, Felton led for the first half and then Barry fouled his opponent. Felton stopped rowing, believing he had won on the foul, but the umpire, Bill Beach ordered the men to continue rather than making a ruling. It was likely he believed the foul was accidental and did not make a difference to the race. Felton did not scull on, but Barry did, and he crossed the line ahead and thus regained the World Title. The umpire's decision was final. This race was on the Parramatta River in Sydney, Australia. Barry returned to England and finally lost the title to Richard Arnst when he (Barry) forfeited a challenge by Arnst because three months passed without Barry accepting the challenge. For further details of his championship races see World Professional sculling championship.

In October 1920 The New York Times reported:
"Ernest Barry, holder of the professional sculling Championship of the World as a result of his recent victory over Felton in Australia, finds that he will be unable  to do the training required to defend his title. He hopes that his nephew Bert Barry, who is 18 years of age and six feet in height, will become defender of the title in his stead"

Ultimately his nephew Bert did go on to become Champion of the World, but not for another seven years.

Barry was made a Royal Waterman in 1913. He saw service in the army in the First War. For two or three years in the early 1920s he was landlord of the Fox Inn in Church Street Twickenham, but had given that up by 1922, moving to No.5 Bonser Road with his wife Lottie.

The Barrys had five children. Lottie was by birth a Hammerton, a member of the large family that lived in no25 The Embankment, now the home of The Twickenham Museum. One of Lottie's cousins was Walter Hammerton, waterman and ferryman who was the victor in the Earl of Dysart vs Hammerton case of 1913–15.

Later life
After retiring from competitive sculling Ernest Barry turned to coaching. He was appointed the Royal Barge Master to King George VI, and later to Queen Elizabeth II until he retired from the position in 1952 because of ill health.

In 1934 – 1938 he coached at Danske Studenters Roklub in Copenhagen creating great progress in that club culminating with two bronze medals at the European Championships in 1938.

In 1953 he was invited to coach Cork Boat Club in Ireland. While not all agreed with his style and method, there was no doubt that he considerably improved the standard of rowing in the club, and the crowning point was the success in the Maiden VIII Championships in Drogheda in 1957.

Barry lived to see the end of professional sculling but was forced to sell all but two of his trophies to support himself and his daughter Thelma, who contracted poliomyelitis.

He spent the rest of his life at Bonser Road, off the lower end of Cross Deep in Twickenham, dying in July 1968 aged about 86.

Researchers funded by the National Institutes of Health recently began an early-stage human clinical trial of two related candidate vaccines to prevent infection with Shigella bacteria.
Shigella infection, known as shigellosis, is an intestinal disease spread by contact with infected feces, by contact with a contaminated surface, or by consumption of contaminated food or water. Symptoms include diarrhea, abdominal pain, vomiting, nausea and fever. The disease can lead to hospitalization or death, particularly in young children and adults with weakened immune systems.
The Phase I clinical trial will evaluate the vaccines for safety and their ability to induce immune responses among 90 healthy adults between the ages of 18 and 45.
The two related candidate vaccines, WRSs2 and WRSs3, were found to be safe and effective when tested in guinea pigs and non-human primates. The vaccine candidates look to improve on WRSs1, which was found to cause mild diarrhea in some patients. All three vaccines were developed by researchers at the Walter Reed Institute.
Shigellosis causes approximately 90 million cases of severe disease annually and 108,000 deaths worldwide, according to the World Health Organization. The U.S. reports 14,000 shigellosis cases each year, most occurring among children ages one to four years old.

Soluble CD163 from activated macrophages predicts mortality in acute liver failure
Holger Jon Møller, Henning Grønbæk, Frank V. Schiødt, Peter Holland-Fischer, Michael Schilsky, Santiago Munoz, Tarek Hassanein, William M. Lee
Background/Aims: Soluble CD163 (sCD163) is a scavenger receptor shed in serum during inflammatory activation of macrophages. We investigated if sCD163 was increased and predicted outcome in acute liver failure (ALF). Methods: Samples from 100 consecutive patients enrolled in the U.S. ALF Study Group for whom sera were available were collected on days 1 and 3, and clinical data were obtained prospectively. sCD163 levels were determined by ELISA. Results: The median level of sCD163 was significantly increased in ALF (21.1 mg/l (range 3.6-74.9)) as compared to healthy controls (2.3 mg/l (0.65-5.6), p < 0.0001) and patients with stable liver cirrhosis (9.8 mg/l (3.6-16.9), p = 0.0002). sCD163 on day 1 correlated significantly with ALT, AST, bilirubin, and creatinine. sCD163 concentrations on day 3 were elevated in patients with fatal outcome of disease compared to spontaneous survivors, 29.0 mg/l (7.2-54.0) vs. 14.6 mg/l (3.5-67.2), respectively (p = 0.0025). Patients that were transplanted had intermediate levels. Sensitivity and specificity at a cut-off level of 26 mg/l was 62% and 81%, respectively. Conclusions: Activated macrophages are involved in ALF resulting in a 10-fold increase in sCD163. A high level (>26 mg/l) of sCD163 was significantly correlated with fatal outcome and might be used with other parameters to determine prognosis.

The short answer? Both are correct.
You'd think working for free would be a good way to get your foot in the door. That way, when you do ask to actually be compensated, they'll readily agree because you're such a great team player who's paid your dues. In most cases, you'd be wrong.
Take it from someone who spent years working in development; a lot of executives' and/or producers' interest in a project is directly tied to how little they're paying for it. Free drafts are no risk for them. Sure, they spend their time reading and providing notes, but they don't actually have put any skin in the game by going to their boss or the finance guys or their business partners and asking for approval to spend money. Once they do that, they're signaling that they believe enough in a project to make a financial commitment to it.
And it is remarkable how often interest in a project dissipates when faced with the prospect of actually spending real money on it. That project they were so enthusiastic about just a few weeks ago while they encouraged you to write draft after draft suddenly becomes something they don't know if they can sell to their boss, studio, etc. right now.
When that's the case, it is infinitely better to know how they really feel before you've invested months or even years of your life doing nine drafts.
Now, at the other end of the spectrum, writers who refuse to do any work at all without money attached can quickly find themselves cut out of the development process. The mercurial nature of the business means there are actually times when a little work can make a big difference, and money just isn't feasible at that time.
Smaller production companies don't always have the development budgets to spend on multiple steps across dozens of projects. With the changes in industry revenue models over the last few years, precious few companies can still afford to actually spend hundreds of thousands, even millions of dollars a year on a whole slate of projects hoping that the volume development game pays off sooner or later. Most of them have to very judiciously choose where to allocate their resources.
Producers, managers, junior executives, and others whom rely on someone else to give them a greenlight (this also includes smaller production companies without a distribution deal, by the way) genuinely want to put their best foot forward with their business partners. Since scripts are a creative, subjective product, it's not unusual that they have thoughts and suggestions about what could be improved to make it more appealing to their colleagues.
In certain circumstances, small amounts of work are needed to meet certain business requirements. Maybe a couple lines have to be tweaked to get approval from the Chinese censors. Maybe a location fell through at the last minute and they need to figure out how to change the scene in the museum to a scene in a library. Maybe they have a great actor attachment, but the actor wants a cameo for his buddy who always wanted to be a cowboy and now you have to figure out how to add a scene with a cowboy in it to your gritty cop drama so this actor will sign on.
Some of that stuff may seem ridiculous, but it happens all the time. And if you're the kind of writer who says, "Well technically that revised scene would constitute a change to the narrative and that makes it a rewrite not a polish according to the definitions in the WGA's Minimum Basic Agreement so I won't make that change for a penny less than $36,346!" there's a pretty good chance that your project won't move forward if it's still in the development stages, or that they'll get someone else who's willing to play ball and do the work as a polish if they're already down the road on it.
The trick is figuring out when it's appropriate to be a team player, and when it's appropriate to stand up for the value of your work and your time.
It'd be nice if there were a hard and fast rule I could point you to, or if I could show you a clear line in the sand where you always knew when you're going too far to one side or the other. But the truth of the matter is that this is a judgment call all writers have to make at some point. You have to look at the particulars of the situation and decide whether the free work you're being asked to do is reasonable and feasible.
You always need to look at the amount of work and the time it'll take to complete. It's one thing if someone's asking you to do them a solid by freely implementing a set of notes that takes you a couple of afternoons. It's another thing if someone's set of notes will require weeks and weeks of work on your part.
More importantly, though, you also have to decide whether the changes will make a difference and/or improve the work. There are a lot of times where that might not be the case and, for me, the only free work I'm willing to do is that which I think is a net positive for the project.
You also have to consider your other opportunities. Don't do free work if it's taking time and energy away from your other endeavors. Whether it's another writing project or a day job or even time with your family, weigh the time and effort you'd be expending on this free work and make sure you're not losing out on something more valuable by doing free work for someone else.
And writers, keep in mind that the time you spend writing another spec has value. This is a writing industry built on output, so don't mistakenly think that doing a free rewrite for an exec is automatically a better use of your time than working on a new spec. The value of bringing a new product to market should not be discounted, especially if the alternative is doing a set of notes for free on an existing project that has you feeling like you're just spinning your wheels.
Finally, keep in mind that free work is a bit of a misnomer. Unpaid work might be a better term because, truly, you should think very carefully before doing work for someone else for which you derive absolutely zero benefit.
Get something for your work.
If you're being asked to do work on your script without pay, consider other things you can get in trade. In particular, ownership of the work. Whenever I consider unpaid work, I make sure that the other party and I are 100% clear that I will own the results and proceeds of that material. As I mentioned in my post about sterile scripts, if you're under a work for hire contract, the company owns the writing you do at their instruction. But if the company wants you to write for no pay, make sure the work for hire clause doesn't apply to that writing. If they aren't paying for it, they shouldn't own it. Plus, if things go south, at the very least you'll walk away with additional writing material available for your use in the future.
Writing for free (or at least unpaid writing) can be a tricky situation under the best of circumstances. It's not always easy to figure out when you're being a good team player and when you're letting someone take advantage of you. The best thing you can do for yourself is always question the nature of the unpaid work that's asked of you, and to honestly assess whether you feel good about doing it. If you don't, there's literally nothing to lose by walking away and focusing on your other endeavors.

WASHINGTON, February 10, 2014—There are certain places in your home that you expect to have germs—the toilet handle, the garbage lid. However, there are other dirty places and objects in your home and life that you may not have thought about—yet. Following is a list of a few really dirty places and objects in your home that you may have missed.
1. The knobs on your stove: A study by the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) found that stove handles have more germs than microwave and refrigerator handles because they are more difficult to clean. Additionally, individuals tend to touch stove knobs when their hands are contaminated with food or other germs. To clean, many knobs can be removed and placed in the dishwasher. Check your stove manual for cleaning instructions.
2. Bath mat: Bathroom mats tend to collect a lot of germs, as germs thrive in dark, humid places. Moreover, few people hang up their bath mat to dry after using it. Mold spores can germinate after just 12 hours in the right conditions and grow within 24 to 48 hours. To prevent mold growth, hang your bath mat to dry after every use, wash at least once per week or purchase a fast-drying bath mat.
3. Anything near your toilet: A 2012 study in the Journal of Hospital Infection found that when a toilet is flushed without a lid, water is sprayed up to 10 inches above the toilet and the area around it. This increases the risk of harmful bacteria spreading to areas around the toilet by 12 times when compared to a toilet flushed with the lid down. Always flush the toilet with the lid down and clean the inside of the bowl at least once every week.
4. Toothbrush holders: Another NSF study found that toothbrush holders were by far the dirtiest places in the typical bathroom by a surprisingly wide margin. According to Robert Donofrio, director of NSF International's Applied Research Center, the typical toothbrush holder has over 3.3 million microorganisms per 1.55 square inches (10 square cm.). The second dirtiest object in the bathroom, the bathroom faucet, had less than one percent the amount of microorganisms, with around 28,000 per 1.55 square inch. Experts suggest purchasing a dishwasher-safe toothbrush holder and avoiding wood or bamboo holders.
5. Remote control: According to a 2004 study, office desks and household electronics, including remote controls and computer keyboards have 400 times more bacteria than the average toilet seat. This is probably because these items get handled more often by more people and are cleaned less. It is important to wipe these items often. To clean between the buttons, use a cotton swab dipped in alcohol.
6. Light switches: Light switches around the house are often neglected. However, they are touched frequently with contaminated hands. Light switches should be cleaned regularly.
7. Wet laundry: Wet laundry can attract mold in the same way that a bath mat can. If clothes are washed and not put in the dryer immediately, mold can quickly form in the warm, humid dampness of the washing machine. Healthline suggests running clothes through another wash cycle if left wet for more than 30 minutes. They also recommend cleaning the inside drum of the washing machine after washing bath mats or if you share a laundry facility.
8. Watch where you put your purse or backpack: The outside of a purse or backpack can bring outside germs and spread them throughout the house. Purses and backpacks are set on restaurant floors, taken into public restrooms, set on the train. They are then taken home and set on kitchen counters, tables and other furniture, spreading germs wherever they are placed. Do not place your purse of backpack on the floor, and clean the outside regularly.
9. Earbuds: Earbuds can carry several types of bacteria, including staphylococcus. Earbuds form a seal in the ear canal, where warmth, darkness and humidity create the perfect breeding-ground for bacteria. Clean earbuds regularly and never share them with anybody.
10. Your cell phone: According to an article in LiveScience, a cell phone has an average of 10 times more bacteria than a toilet seat. As individuals become increasingly attached to their phones, they are used in bathrooms, while eating and after touching contaminated surfaces. Never take your phone into the bathroom and make sure you clean it daily.
Germs are everywhere and can spread quickly. Fortunately, proper cleaning of germ-prone surfaces and proper, frequent hand washing are effective in staying healthy and germ free.

Iwo Jima is a turn-based strategy video game developed and published by Personal Software Services for the Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum in 1986. It is the second instalment to the Strategic Wargames series. The game is set during the Battle of Iwo Jima in the Pacific Ocean theatre of World War II and revolves around the United States Marine Corps' objective to secure the island of Iwo Jima from the Imperial Japanese Army.

The game is a turn-based strategy and focuses on the player using their units to attack Japanese forces in order to capture the island. The player assumes control of the Marine Corps and must eliminate all Japanese forces by ground, air, or naval combat. The game received mixed reviews upon release. Critics praised the game's value for money and easy difficulty for novice gamers; however, many criticised the graphics and mechanics.

Gameplay

The game is a turn-based strategy focuses on the invasion and land battles of Iwo Jima. The player commands the United States Marine Corps against the Imperial Japanese Army, who are occupying the islands as part of the Pacific Ocean theatre of World War II. The game is menu-based and only allows the player to use four command functions; move, attack, land and pass. Depending on the difficulty set, the game lasts 32 to 36 turns and can only be won by eliminating all Japanese forces from the island before the final turn ends. During the game, the enemy may fortify their positions, launch air strikes against the United States Navy fleet or may perform suicide attacks if their unit is about to be wiped out. The player also has the ability to order air strikes against the enemy, if weather permits.

At the beginning of the game, the player has to allocate a number of American troops in order to establish a beachhead on one of the six beaches of the island. However, many of the beaches are scattered with land mines and may provide an initial disadvantage to the assault. Throughout the game, the player may call in air strikes and other assaults, however they are only available after the American forces are attacked or if the enemy retreats to an inaccessible location. At any time in the game, the player is also able to request troop reinforcements from the fleet. Furthermore, Japanese air forces may sink American battleships throughout the game, although the player will be given the opportunity to shoot them down. In addition, a Japanese submarine will sink American gunboats at random intervals, and cannot be destroyed in any way. There is no save function in the game.

Background
Personal Software Services was founded in Coventry, England, by Gary Mays and Richard Cockayne in 1981. The company were known for creating games that revolved around historic war battles and conflicts, such as Theatre Europe, Bismark and Falklands '82. The company had a partnership with French video game developer ERE Informatique, and published localised versions of their products to the United Kingdom. In 1986, Cockayne took a decision to alter their products for release on 16-bit consoles, as he found that smaller 8-bit consoles such as the ZX Spectrum lacked the processing power for larger strategy games. The decision was falsely interpreted as "pulling out" from the Spectrum market by video game journalist Phillipa Irving. Following years of successful sales throughout the mid 1980s, Personal Software Services experienced financial difficulties, in what Cockayne admitted in a retrospective interview that "he took his eye off the ball". The company was acquired by Mirrorsoft in February 1987, and was later dispossessed by the company due to strains of debt.

Reception

The game received mixed reviews from critics upon release. Both Gwyn Hughes of Your Sinclair and a reviewer of ZX Computing praised the game's value for money and heralded it as a "good introduction" to the wargaming genre, although Hughes believed that Iwo Jima was unlikely to provide established tacticians with a "major challenge" and the reviewer of ZX Computing was concerned that the game was "too easy".  Sean Masterson of Crash criticised the graphics, stating that it was "let down by poor unit markers and terrain features". Gary Rook of Sinclair User asserted that the game was overall "competent", however he summarised it as "failing to excite". Rook also added that the game was well implemented and "inspiring".

A reviewer of Computer and Video Games criticised the game for having an "awkward mechanism" due to the lack of a save feature and neglecting historic realism. However, he compared the historical accuracy of the Battle of Iwo Jima for being more accurate than Falklands '82s interpretation of the Falklands War. Mark Reed of Computer Gamer stated that the game is "ideal" for novice players and also praised the simplicity of the controls, despite suggesting that experienced gamers of the genre would prefer "something more complex". Masterson similarly criticised the game's suitability for experienced gamers, suggesting that any appeal for a more experienced player is likely to be "very limited".

M. Evan Brooks reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World, and stated that "While Iwo/Falklands may not be to the taste of the experienced wargamer, they may prove just the ticket to gaining another convert to computer conflict simulations."

Хасс Мурад-паша () — османский военачальник, по легенде — знатного византийского происхождения. Фаворит Мехмеда II. Утонул в ходе битвы 4 августа 1473 года перед сражением при Отлукбели. Брат великого визиря Месиха-паши.

Биография

Происхождение
Согласно Ecthesis Chronica 16-го века, Хасс Мурад-паша и его брат Месих-паша были сыновьями некоего Гидоса Палеолога, которого  называет в Historia Turchesca «братом византийского императора». Считается, что этим императором был Константин XI Палеолог, последний византийский император, который пал во время захвата Константинополя османским султаном Мехмедом II в 1453 году. Если это правда, то ввиду того, Константин XI умер бездетным, Месих-паша или Хасс Мурад-паша, могли ему наследовать, если бы османы не смогли покорить Константинополь. Катерино Дзено называет Хасс Мурада «Палеолог». Однако более нигде такой информации нет и никто другой такого брата у Константина XI Палеолога не указывает. Братья были захвачены во время падения Константинополя, обратились в ислам и начали карьеру с пажей (ичогланов) под покровительством Мехмеда II в рамках системы девширме. Хасс Мурад стал фаворитом Мехмеда.

Карьера
Когда в 1468 году Махмуда-паша Ангелович был снят с поста великого визиря, он так же лишился поста бейлербея (генерал-губернатора) Румелии, и на место бейлербея был назначен вместо него Хасс Мурад-паша. В 1471 году Узун-Хасан стал союзником Венеции, договорившись с венецианскими послами.
Летом 1472 года войска Ак-Коюнлу напали на недавно захваченный османской армией Караман. 26 августа 1472 года Мехмед созвал визирей на совет, 5 сентября Исхак-паша был снят с поста великого визиря, а Махмуд-паша, успешный и талантливый военачальник, был назначен на пост великого визиря вторично. Армия Румелии была вызвана в Стамбул и прибыла 20 сентября во главе Хасс Мурадом-пашой. Весной армия выдвинула в Восточную Анатолию против сил Ак-Коюнлу.

Османские источники сообщают, что Мехмед выслал вперёд на разведку авангард. Войска двигались вдоль по течению реки. Османы по правому берегу, «персы» — по левому. Махмуд-паша находился в подчинении у более молодого и менее опытного Хасс Мурада-паши. Угурлу Мехмед-паша, сын Узун-Хасана, имитировал нападение и отступление своего отряда, чтобы заманить османский отряд в ловушку, что было излюбленным приёмом кочевников. Махмуд-паша понял замысел противника и старался отговорить Хасс Мурада-пашу от преследования. По словам Мехмеда Нешри, «Он [Махмуд]сказал: "Мурад-бей, давай не будем переправляться через реку. Давай будем осторожны и не будем отдаваться в руки врага"». Хасс Мурад не слушал его. Махмуд-паша повторил: «Мурад-бей! Там опасно и сложно дать отпор, вы ещё не были в таких местах. Услышьте, что я говорю вам!» Хасс Мурад начал переправу реки, Махмуд-паша тоже был вынужден переправиться. Он снова сказал Хасс Мураду: «Оставайтесь здесь с вашим отрядом, а я поднимусь на этот холм, чтобы увидеть, есть ли враги.» Махмуд-паша с несколькими всадниками поднялся вперед на холм и увидел отряды Узун Хасана, спрятанные за возвышенностью в засаде. Махмуд-паша пытался остановить движение отряда Хасс Мурад паши, который продолжал преследовать отряд Угурлу Мехмеда. Видя, что это бесполезно, Махмуд-паша переправился обратно и поскакал к лагерю, чтобы предупредить Мехмеда. Как только все акынджи переправились, из укрытия появился отряд воинов Ак-Коюнлу, который разрушил переправу. Не послушав Махмуда-пашу, Хасс Мурад попал в ловушку Уруглу Мехмеда-бея, сына Узун Хасана. Это сражение была катастрофой для османов: Хасс Мурад-паша погиб, хотя Узун-Хасан сообщал в письме, что Хасс Мурад попал в плен. В бурном течении реки утонуло большое число османских воинов, включая и Хасс Мурада. Османские источники датируют смерть Хасс Мурада 4 августа. Это временное поражение породило тщетные надежды в Европе. В письмах сообщается о полном разгроме Мехмеда от Узун-Хасана и даже о смерти Мехмеда.

Согласно участнику событий Турсун-бею, Хасс Мурад боялся, что в случае, если враг будет разбит Махмудом-пашой, то Махмуду и достанется вся слава. Другие историки (Кемальпашазаде, Ашикпашазаде, Нешри, Саадеддин) винят в этой непродуманной атаке молодость, нетерпеливость и неопытность Хасс Мурада. Считается, что смерть Хасс Мурада была поставлена в вину Махмуду-паше Мехмедом. Мехмед был в гневе, что Махмуд не помог Мураду.

Битва, в которой погиб Хасс Мурад-паша, в «Исламской энциклопедии» никак не называется. В литературе она встречается под названием «битва при Малатье» или «битва при Терджане». Согласно Катерино Дзено именно у Малатьи сын Узун Хасана нанёс поражение османам, однако большинство современных учёных определяют место битвы как окрестности Терджана. Дзено писал, что эта битва произошла 1 августа, но большинство историков принимают датировку 4 августа (9 день месяца Раби аль-авваль 878 года Хиджры).

Well, what can I say? The last couple of weeks have been ever busier and more full of excitement, so I figured I'd better write it all down again!
As for HR, that was a bit more tricky, but luckily the girls in the office are extremely competent! Within about 2 hours of S leaving, her assistant came to see me with a small problem. H, my flatmate, needs to extend her visa, as it was about to run out.
In order to do that, she needed a letter from the police to state that she is currently registered and they have extended her registration etc.
When she went to the Police station last week, they said it was absolutely fine and she could have her letter, but before they would help us with any future foreign faculty problems, the university would need to buy them two large filing cabinets (they specified the make and models they would like) and pay to fix their photocopier!
Obviously we will need their help in the future – we already have a problem with one staff member's tax because he forgot to put his middle name on his police registration form and now it doesn't match his passport.
So that is how I found myself, after two hours as acting Head of HR, wondering the best way to ask the Vice-Chancellor whether or not he thought we ought to bribe the police with some filing cabinets!
Thankfully, H already had her letter, so she was dispatched to the visa office with that (and it will hopefully get sorted out before her visa actually runs out, otherwise we'll have a whole new problem on our hands!). The VC, when I asked him for some advice, just chuckled and told me to give it to our head of security to handle (I later discovered the head of security used to be in the police force, so he obviously knows the drill!). So whatever happens next it has nothing to do with me (thank god!).
Let's see, what else? The usual drama at work – my boss is as useless as ever. After the big fight I had with her a while ago, her only job on the healthcare front was to call the Chief Medical Officer of the hospital to confirm that we can have the vaccines for our free vaccination programme. It's been 4 weeks now, and she still has not made that bloody phone call! I ask her about twice a week if she's done it yet, and she usually says "Oh that's right, I had forgotten" or else "Oh no I've been far too busy" (although I have yet to figure out what she's busy with, as she really doesn't seem to be doing an awful lot of anything!).
I'm struggling to find new and different ways to ask her without being condescending. I do occasionally wonder if she has in fact called already, and been told no we can't have the vaccines, but doesn't want to lose face by telling me that. I did mention to her several weeks ago that if that happened, we could contact WHO and ask them to help out, but she patted me patronisingly on the back, and told me (for the millionth time) that that isn't how we do things in India, and that her husband knows someone who knows someone who can sort it all out for us!
She also rang me up first thing this morning to yell at me for something utterly ridiculous, which seemed a bit unfair. We are about to sign the MOUs with the NGOs for the student internship programme which I have been working on for two months now. I have had countless meetings in Delhi and have finally set up the last of our meetings for this coming Monday to sign the papers and make everything official. I gave A the MOU I drafted two weeks ago to look over (she never reads anything I send her, and then complains that I never tell her what's going on!). She mentioned to me YESTERDAY that actually the VC had to approve it before we can sign anything, so I said she'd better bloody hurry up and get his approval. He sent it back saying that legal had to look it over, and when I went to see the legal guy, he had BUTCHERED it!
I mean, I get that he felt the need to add some legal jargon into what was a fairly straightforward Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). However he clearly had nothing to do, and felt he had to leave his mark, so he re-wrote everything I had written, so that it said EXACTLY the same thing, but in appallingly bad English! I went through it and told him I'd need to correct it, as I would be far too embarrassed to take his version to these big international organisations. He then got on his high horse about how I didn't understand legal terminology, to which I replied "maybe not, but it still has to be comprehensible in English"! Seriously, the guy had actually made up words in some places, and had just shoved words like "heretofor" "thereafter" "party of the first part" and "witnesseth" into every single sentence!
Anyhoo, I made the changes, he agreed to finish it up by this morning, and it was all fine, except that A got her knickers in a twist about it all, cos I had made changes without informing her! I pointed out that the legal guy had made LOADS of changes without informing her, I was merely correcting HIS changes, but she wasn't in the mood to listen to me.
Suffice to say it has not been the easiest morning, and frankly it has put me in a bit of a foul mood for the rest of the day!
However, thankfully it's Friday, I have a nice weekend in Delhi planned, and after the meetings on Monday I am taking 2 days off to see a friend of mine who is passing through Delhi, so hopefully next week will be far more relaxing (yeah right!).
Also, I had my credit and debit cards stolen last weekend, but thankfully I didn't lose any money, and I cancelled them immediately so no harm done there.
Hope you're all well, and having a far less frustrating Friday!

1 year later: Is someone helping 'Butch' Knight hide?
By: Josh Sidorowicz
ALLEGAN, Mich. — He has avoided police for exactly one year after admitting to killing his wife to a 911 dispatcher, and investigators believe if he's still alive it's possible someone is helping Harold 'Butch' Knight hide, likely without even knowing it.
Capt. Mike Larsen, the lead detective on the case for the Allegan County Sheriff's Office, said authorities have no indication Knight is still even in the country at this point.
"Obviously there are things people need in today's society to survive: phones, financial transaction devices, medical care; we're monitoring all of those with no activity," Larsen told FOX 17.
"If he's been able to do this on his own, it's a really large feat; to be a loner in this world."
Butch Knight spotted changing appearance in Maine.
The trail has been cold for several months. The last confirmed sightings of Knight were in Maine in the early part of 2015 when he was spotted on surveillance at a local Wal-Mart and then later checking into a hotel in a city about an hour away. Police would later uncover his getaway car which was ditched in a parking lot in Maine where it'd been buried under snow for nearly a month before it was reported.
"It's frustrating, he had the advantage of pre-planning," Larsen said. "Initially we were two days behind. He called it in himself when he already had a head start. We did all the things we could, contacted all the places we thought were necessary, he was able to just get farther and farther away."
Knight called 911 the morning of Jan. 13 to tell police he strangled his wife Sara, two days after police determined she was actually was killed. Investigators later discovered he made the call from a burner cell phone that pinged off a tower near Ann Arbor.
"It's a very bizarre phone call," Larsen said. "This wasn't a remorseful phone call. A remorseful person turns themselves in, and takes accountability for their actions. A calculated individual who purposely takes certain actions is more in line with what we're seeing here."
'Butch' was headed toward Maine the day of the call before police even arrived at the couple's home near Fennville, and soon a two day lead became 16 days.
The lingering case has become one of the most baffling for Larsen in his 22 years of law enforcement.
"I've never seen a violent crime of this magnitude that had that many crumbs left as a trail that led to someone calling it in on themselves," he said.
Larsen acknowledges Knight's background—being a former truck driver with a pilots license with training in IT engineering—makes him an extremely intelligent and difficult fugitive to pin down, calling him 'slippery.'
"There were a lot of skill sets he developed and a lot of networking that comes with that background. It's possible he has developed a friend who he might not have been honest with from the very beginning about who he was and where he's from," he said.
"But I would find it hard to believe he's receiving help from someone who truly knows who he is and what he's done."
It's also likely 'Butch' has taken on a new identity, Larsen suggests, one lending himself to be more likable and "someone you'd be wanting to help."
"He strikes me as that kind of a calculating individual that every person he may have encountered his entire life, he categorized for a certain need, potentially, including his wife," he said.
It's a sentiment now shared by at least some of Sara Knight's family, including her daughter, who told FOX 17 she lives in fear not knowing where her stepfather is now.
"If he can do it to my mother, and she was a very smart individual and would not have just sat there and let him kill her, he's capable of killing anybody," said Roxanne Cameron-Harris.
While the 911 call her stepfather made continues to haunt her, it's the few months and even weeks prior to her mother's murder she said there were 'oddities' she wished she hadn't overlooked.
"Slowly my mom gained weight, and slowly she wasn't happy anymore. You could just read it across her face. She was just, something wasn't right," she told FOX 17.
Undated photo of 'Butch' and Sara Knight.
Butch and Sara abruptly left for Maine where they lived for roughly seven years before moving back to Michigan in the summer of 2014, Cameron-Harris said. The couple who returned was not the same one who left, she contends.
"It was interesting, when they were staying with me, Butch started a fight between me and my mother and (he) had told mom that I didn't want them there and that I was kicking them out," she said. "It didn't make any sense."
And then, just days before her murder, Cameron-Harris received an odd call from her mother.
"She didn't go into detail. We had a weird conversation the Friday before (she was killed). She said that, and this is the only thing she mentioned to me, Butch was acting really strange," she said.
"I wish I would've asked a lot more questions or told mom how I felt that week."
In the time since his disappearance and the handful of confirmed sightings in early 2015 in Maine, the only other new lead in the case came in the form a Facebook 'like' last summer. Larsen said someone using Sara Knight's account 'liked' a family photo, leading investigators and family to wonder if 'Butch' was behind it.
However, investigators are still fighting the social media giant to secure a search warrant of the profile. Narrowing in on the IP address the account activity came from would've potentially provided a huge break in the case, Larsen told FOX 17.
"It's a matter of vanishing into thin air in today's society, which seems impossible," he said.
U.S. Marshals say Knight should be considered armed and dangerous. The Allegan County Sheriff's Office is still asking anyone with information on his whereabouts to call them at (269) 673-0500.

The Julyamsh Horse PowWow is Back!
"Julyamsh, one of the nation's largest outdoor pow wows and the largest one in the Pacific Northwest, is returning after location problems caused a cancellation last year. That's excellent news for the hundreds of dancers and numerous drum groups who have enjoyed Julyamsh in the past… Julyamsh has always been noted for horse parades, with riders in full regalia in recognition of the importance of horses to the tribe." J. Mckneel, ICTMN
Proud Julyamsh Horse and rider.
"The dates are July 22-24, and the location will be the Kootenai County Fairgrounds on the northern edge of the city of Coeur d'Alene. In many ways, this location is better than the Greyhound Park where it was previously held.
Julyamsh Horse Parade
It's like having it in our traditional homeland, said tribal member Quanah Matheson in a tribal news release. The City of Coeur d'Alene was the 'yap keen'um', meaning 'our gathering place,' when all Coeur d'Alene people came together. The new location includes 83 acres of camping area, a large arena, staging areas and plenty of facilities for horses.

Julyamsh was cancelled in 2015 due to a conflict with management at Greyhound Park…Because the tribe was not happy with the decisions made by Greyhound Park officials, they decided to change the location.
Horse Parade at the Julyamsh Pow-Wow
Tribal Chairman Chief Allan noted that not only was the new location ideal, but we're thankful for the staff and leadership at the fairgrounds who have made us feel welcome. We look forward to the partnership."
Plan to visit Julyamsh this summer: July 22-24 2016
It promises to be a winner. For more information visit the website:
