Warriors future prices keep going up
by Tony Mejia
With the Super Bowl set to end the football season, the NBA is stepping right in to fill the sports entertainment void. Complete with college basketball, that's enough to do the trick for me. Bettors and the more casual fan base may have a more difficult time being satisfied.
The biggest winners of the final pro hoops weekend in January were the Golden State Warriors.
The franchise that has won two of the last three titles not only beat back a challenge from Boston at home in front of a primetime Saturday night audience, but also got a disappointing boost they neither wanted nor needed as a massive favorite to win the Western Conference (2/7) and NBA title (2/5), per the Westgate Superbook.
Oklahoma City and New Orleans, teams that could have presented difficult matchups that would've at least made Golden State's path to another title more challenging if nothing else, suffered massive setbacks.
Andre Roberson, OKC's standout defender and starting wing opposite Paul George, ruptured his left patella tendon in the third quarter of a Saturday night win in Detroit, slipping violently as he cut underneath the rim. His feet came out from under him, he landed on his backside and quickly flipped over and slid himself forward out of bounds about 10 feet. He was carried off on a stretcher and will be lost for the remainder of the season.
The previous night, DeMarcus Cousins was helped off the floor with 10 seconds left, tearing his Achilles attempting to chase down his missed free throw in a 115-113 Pels win over Houston. He finished with a triple-double to help earn a season-best fourth straight win, but his injury ends any possibility of the Pelicans being a factor in the postseason.
The Anthony Davis show is nothing new and the likeliest course of action since there isn't much maneuvering the Pelicans' front office can do. Unfortunately, that production has only generated one playoff berth since he was drafted in 2012. Rajon Rondo started strong but can't be counted on to physically bring it night after night until deep into March. Jrue Holiday and E'twuan Moore will have to carry even more of an offensive load, and a lack of frontcourt depth masked by the most prolific big man combo in the game will be exposed for everyone to feast on.
The Westgate SuperBook dropped New Orleans' odds from 150/1 to get out of the West to 250/1. The situation isn't as dire for the Thunder, but Roberson's loss is immense, since they went 5-5 in the 10 games he had been sidelined with knee tendinitis. His return this month helped produce a five-game winning streak that reached six with Sunday's win over the 76ers, but even that success produced a reminder that OKC will have to be a far different team without him.
OKC has surrendered 112 or more points in five of the 11 games Roberson has missed entering the week. Opponents managed to score that much on the Thunder in just seven of the 39 contests he worked in, so expect their game totals to increase. The Over is 6-5 in games he's missed, but the players remaining to help fill the void, 19-year-old rookie Terrance Ferguson and older vets Jerian Grant, Patrick Patterson, Josh Heustis and Alex Abrines, are nowhere near as reliable on the defensive end. Roberson made George and Anthony more effective on that side of the ball and consistently took pressure off Westbrook.
Although Westgate kept the Thunder's odds to win the West (10/1) and the Finals (20/1) the same after the injury, the team's challenge has gotten far more taxing. They were counting on his defensive prowess to be a driving force in a series win over the Warriors, Rockets or Spurs, teams with elite wings. What will Plan B be? His impact on the rest of the team as a guy who didn't need the ball and did all the dirty work on defense can't be replaced by a single guy and may require GM Sam Presti bringing in another wing to aid the cause.
The Thunder will move forward with a new starter opposite the Big Three and invaluable center Steven Adams, turning to young Ferguson first since he filled in well while Roberson sat. The rookie will get three regular-season tests against the Warriors going forward since the teams meet twice in February and again in early April. Oklahoma City won the first meeting on Nov. 22 by a 108-91 margin, getting invaluable contributions from Roberson at both ends of the floor. Ferguson played two minutes.
Healthy and intact, the Warriors became the first NBA team to reach 40 wins over the weekend, accomplishing the feat in 50 games. Despite taking everyone's best shot on the road, they've won 21 of 25 games outside of Oakland. It seems inevitable they'll be adding to their ring collection come June, which is fine since they're an all-time great team.
It's just a shame the entertainment value of watching the Dubs conquer other contenders at full strength was diminished greatly in less than 24 hours, strengthening their position by subtraction. Considering what the East looks like again, the Western Conference playoffs will again be providing the best product basketball has to offer. Hopefully San Antonio's Kawhi Leonard can get back to 100 percent and star-studded teams like the Rockets and Timberwolves can stay healthy enough to offer Golden State some resistance.

AFA NEWS: Air Force Adapting Acquisition for Digital Age
By Mikayla Easley
NATIONAL HARBOR, Maryland — The Air Force is emphasizing digital technologies as it moves a slew of next-generation capabilities through the development pipeline, the service's top weapon's buyer said Sept. 20.
From high-end aircraft to integrated command-and-control systems, the Air Force has its hands full as it works to bring a number of new capabilities into the hands of warfighters. In the process, the service has been revising its acquisition strategies that both speeds up the timeline and accommodates rapid updates, said Andrew Hunter, assistant secretary of the Air Force for acquisition, technology and logistics.
The purpose is to reform acquisition so that it aligns with the capabilities the Air Force needs, which in many cases rely on software and other digital technologies, he noted during a panel discussion at the Air and Space Force Association's annual conference in National Harbor, Maryland.
He pointed to the seven operational imperatives identified by Secretary of the Air Force Frank Kendall as main drivers for the change of pace in acquisition. The imperatives, which serve as roadmaps for the service's modernization efforts, include programs like the the next generation air dominance family of systems and the Advanced Battle Management System — the service's contribution to the Pentagon-wide effort to connect sensors and shooters across battlefields known as joint all-domain command and control, or JADC2.
"We have to have different business arrangements and different processes to be successful today, much faster, more iterative, to be able to deliver increments of capability in weeks and months — rather than years," he said.
Leaning on digital technologies in the acquisition process has already demonstrated some advantages, including a much higher level of capability maturity earlier in the design process, Hunter said.
In addition, these capabilities will allow the Air Force to accelerate "not just for the initial delivery, but in perpetuity," said Gen. Duke Richardson, commander of Air Force Materiel Command.
"When we get into the product support aspects of it, if you've built that digital foundation, we also think that it will actually allow us to accelerate all along the lifecycle, especially as we get into lots of new products," he said.
A key aspect of that will be creating a more digital-focused workforce, Richardson said. Leveraging digital technologies will likely require more trained personnel for Air Force Material Command, he said, adding that he didn't believe it would save the service a significant amount of funds.
The digital components for many of the Air Force's upcoming platforms are also changing how the service works with industry and open doors for new collaborators, Hunter said.
Many of the Air Force's upcoming capabilities require expertise and organizational complexities that will require a team of industry partners, rather than one prime contractor working on a program, he added, citing ABMS as an example.
"When it comes to some of these problems with enormous technical and organizational complexity, they're bigger than one company on its own, and so you need a team," he said. "That's how we're approaching several initiatives."
Richardson also highlighted collaborative combat aircraft, or drones that will fly in formation alongside manned aircraft, as another "huge opportunity."
"Not only will we apply digital material management techniques to that from the very start, but [also] in terms of across all sectors that we have," he said. "That, I think, is pretty pervasive."
As the Air Force continues transforming acquisition, it will have to keep priorities on capabilities that apply to Kendall's operational imperatives, Hunter added.
"Prioritization has a flip side of the coin. It's still critical that we divest the things that aren't fit to fight," he said. "We're going to have to probably be careful about how we apply resources to things that we don't see as directly relevant to the operational imperatives."

Apple TV+ renews M. Night Shyamalan's chilling series "Servant" for fourth season
Apple TV+ today announced a fourth season renewal for "Servant," the psychological thriller series from Academy Award-nominated director and executive producer M. Night Shyamalan. The early pick-up comes ahead of the season three premiere of "Servant" on January 21, 2022, which recently revealed the trailer showcasing a glimpse into the highly anticipated new season.
"Servant" follows a Philadelphia couple in mourning after an unspeakable tragedy creates a rift in their marriage and opens the door for a mysterious force to enter their home.
"Since the very first episode of 'Servant,' audiences all over the world have loved buckling themselves in for this thrill ride, drawn into the cinematic, unsettling, twist-filled universe that M. Night Shyamalan has created," said Matt Cherniss, head of programming for Apple TV+. "With each suspense-filled season, viewers have been able to experience the living nightmares of these compelling characters on an increasingly deeper level and we can't wait for everyone to see what's in store as this gripping mystery takes another surprising turn in season four."
The ensemble cast returning for "Servant" season three includes Lauren Ambrose, Toby Kebbell, Nell Tiger Free and Rupert Grint, with new addition Sunita Mani.

"Servant" joins additional acclaimed Apple Original series that have recently received renewals including "Mythic Quest," "Truth Be Told" and "Invasion."
Apple TV+ is available to watch across all your favorite screens.

To date, Apple Original films, documentaries and series have been honored with 178 wins and 662 awards nominations.
Happy to announce (in my very fitting Jericho t-shirt) that @Servant is greenlit for its 4th & final season. I set the goal to tell 1 story in 40 episodes knowing there was no guarantee we would achieve it. It was a huge risk. Thanks @AppleTVPlus & #Servant cast, crew, & fans. pic.twitter.com/fv9nviVz53

Fourteen months after he was reported missing, the remains of a Los Angeles man were found last week in Memphis, Tenn., authorities said.
Sean Turner, 48, was reported missing on Nov. 19, 2017. His remains were found on Jan. 17 at Fields and Cook roads, according to the Memphis Police Department.
Memphis police did not say how the remains were found or in what circumstances, but in a tweet Tuesday, the Police Department said foul play is suspected. Homicide detectives are investigating.
Turner was visiting Memphis from California and was last seen in a rental car, according to the Police Department. Police found his rental car, a silver Chrysler Pacifica with Florida license plates, on Nov. 14, 2017, and his family reported him missing five days later.
Turner was a heavy equipment operator for the the Los Angeles city Department of Public Works, said spokesman Bruce Whidden. He had been on medical leave since 2017.


Currently, mortgage modifications are negotiated between the lender and borrower outside the state or federal court systems. Representative Conyers from Michigan, has proposed a Bankruptcy Mortgage Modification Amendment as part of the Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (H.R. 4173).
The Bankruptcy Mortgage Modification Amendment seeks to allow Bankruptcy Judges to modify the first mortgage on the bankruptcy filing party's primary residence in Chapter 13 Bankruptcy.
This would be a great help to homeowners. Currently mortgage modifications lower interest rates, spread arrearages through the duration of the loan and may lower the principal balance through federal assistance programs and/or private negotiations with the mortgage lender. However, the new bill would allow the homeowner to modify their mortgage based on the current value of their home. Therefore, if the current value of the home is $125,000.00 and the current mortgage is $175,000.00, the proposed legislation would allow the mortgage amount to be crammed down to the value of the home, in this example $125,000.00, leading to a substantial savings for many homeowners. In Chapter 13 Bankruptcy, the $50,000.00 crammed down would be deemed unsecured debt and the Petitioner would pay only a small percentage of the forgiven debt. With a lower payment and a mortgage based on fair market value of the property, homeowners would be more inclined to pay for and afford their mortgages on an ongoing monthly basis.
Such legislation is not new and has been discussed since in or about, 2007. However, the resurgence in the legislation has been fueled by the less than anticipated success of the current mortgage modification system's ability to grant homeowners help in a timely and ongoing manner.

#YesAllWomen (en español «#SíTodasLasMujeres») es un hashtag de Twitter y una campaña en redes sociales en el cual los usuarios dan ejemplos o cuentan historias de misoginia y violencia contra la mujer.
 Utilizado por primera vez durante las conversaciones en línea que se generaron tras la masacre en Isla Vista de 2014, el hashtag se popularizó en mayo de 2014 y estuvo creado en parte en respuesta al hashtag de Twitter #NotAllMen. #YesAllWomen reflejó una campaña en la cual la base era que las mujeres compartieran sus historias personales de acoso y discriminación. #YesAllWomen intentó aumentar la concientización sobre el sexismo que las mujeres experimentan a menudo de personas que conocen.

Origen
Tras la masacre en Isla Vista, California, la cual dejó seis muertos y catorce heridos, la actividad en Internet del asesino fue catalogada como misógina y el odio a las mujeres como un factor clave para perpetrar los asesinatos. A raíz de esta masacre y la campaña que generó, algunos usuarios de Twitter argumentaron que «no todos los hombres» (#NotAllMen) son así, o cometerían tales delitos. Otros respondieron satirizando estos argumentos y calificándolos como defensivos y evasivos ante un tema tan incómodo como lo es la violencia y el sexismo.

En reacción al hashtag «#NotAllMen», una usuaria de Twitter anónima creó «#YesAllWomen» para expresar que todas las mujeres son afectadas por sexismo y misoginia, aunque no todos los hombres sean sexistas. Algunas fuentes informaron que la creadora del hashtag era la usuaria de Twitter @gildedspine, que se confirmó cuando The Toast publicó una reflexión sobre ella en el aniversario del hashtag en 2015. #YesAllWomen rápidamente fue usado por mujeres a través de plataformas digitales para compartir sus experiencias sobre sexismo y acoso sexual. Algunos ejemplos de tweets expresaban: «'Tengo un novio' es la manera más fácil de conseguir que un hombre te deje en paz. Porque respeta otro hombre más que a ti.», «No debería tener que sostener las llaves de mi carro como un arma y mirar por encima de mis hombros cada segundo cuando camino por la noche» y «porque cada mujer tiene una historia sobre un hombre que siente con derecho sobre su cuerpo».

Logros e impacto
Durante los cuatro días siguientes a la primera vez que se usó #YesAllWomen, el hashtag fue twiteado 1.2 millones de veces, superando a predecesores que también intentaron llamar la atención sobre la violencia y el sexismo hacia las mujeres. Cuatro días después de ser twiteado, la comentarista de The Guardian Jessica Valenti escribió que #YesAllWomen ayudó a ilustrar la prevalencia del sexismo cotidiano en contra de las mujeres. Rebecca Solnit lo describió como un momento decisivo «en el cual podrías ver el cambio sucediendo» y lo acreditó por popularizar el concepto de «derecho sexual», el cual se refiere a la furia masculina hacia las mujeres al no verse satisfechas sus necesidades emocionales o sexuales. En una entrevista con Democracy Now!, Solnit declaró que el hashtag ayudó a cambiar la manera de cómo la sociedad habla sobre violación. Cynthia Calkins Mercado, una profesora de psicología, dijo a The Kansas City Star que el hashtag cambió su opinión sobre la prevalencia de la misoginia en sociedad estadounidense. Escribiendo para The New Yorker, Sasha Weiss se refirió a la campaña como «una clase de monumento conmemorativo, una severa demanda por una sociedad más justa», y alabó Twitter como un vehículo potente para activismo.

Controversia de caricaturas
El 1 de junio del 2014, los dibujantes Michael Kupperman y David Rees planificaron publicar una caricatura política titulada «Testosterone Entitlement Theatre Presents: The Man-Babies in 'Hashtag Harassment'!» («Teatro 'Derecho de testosterona' presenta: Los hombres bebés en 'Acoso por hashtag!'») para la entrega del domingo de «See Something, Say Something» de The New York Times que satirizó la respuesta del movimiento de los derechos del hombre al hashtag. Sin embargo, el diario creyó que los temas (rabia masculina, acoso en línea y el hashtag #yesallwomen) eran demasiado sensibles para publicarlo y se negaron a imprimirlo. En respuesta a la decisión de editorial, tanto Kupperman como Rees publicaron la caricatura de manera independiente. Aquel fin de semana, The New York Times publicó un cómic diferente por Brian McFadden que abordó temas similares.

Crítica
Samantha Levine, una columnista en The Daily Beast, escribió que comparar las restricciones de código de vestimenta y a los hombres que silban a mujeres con la masacre de Isla Vista podría suponer que las mujeres que han sido víctimas de violencia no sean tomadas en serio cuándo utilizan el hashtag. Emily Shire criticó algunos de los tuits #YesAllWomen como triviales en el contexto de la masacre de Isla Vista, citando ejemplos como «Nunca he visto un marido sexy con una mujer gorda en una comedia de televisión».

Idaho has a strong tradition of land trust and land conservation excellence. All members of ICOLT comply with Land Trust Alliance Standards and Practices as a condition of membership. These Standards and Practices are organizational operating guidelines that ensure professional integrity and quality. Upholding these standards helps Idaho's conservation organizations meet their perpetual responsibility to uphold the conservation values of Idaho's irreplaceable landscapes.
Six of ICOLT's members are accredited by the national Land Trust Accreditation Commission. They are: The Nature Conservancy, the Wilderness Land Trust, Teton Regional Land Trust, Vital Ground, Sagebrush Steppe Land Trust and Wood River Land Trust. Several other of Idaho's land trusts are currently engaged in the accreditation process.
Land trusts negotiate voluntary agreements with landowners that limit commercial development and residential subdivision of the property. In essence, land trusts acquire, and then retire, development rights of the property. Conservation easements have potential federal estate tax and federal income tax benefits for landowners. Many land trusts work with local, county and federal programs that provide public funding for land conservation. Some land trusts have active trails and outdoor recreation programs.
Idaho land trusts have assisted private landowners in conserving over 315,000 acres in the state, and thanks to federal conservation tax incentives and the quality work of land trusts, the pace of private land conservation has increased in recent years.


According to the Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control Authority, it is illegal for people to have a form of documentation with incorrect information. While some students might think a fake ID is all right as long as they use their legal name, this is not usually the case. Falsified documents can include those with an altered birth date, something many students may wish to change on an ID. Driver's licenses, student and military IDs and birth certificates are all forms of identification which it is illegal to falsify.
Students may face serious consequences if they attempt to buy alcohol with a fake ID. Most of the time, a student faces a Class 3 misdemeanor charge and may lose his or her driver's license for at least one month. In some situations, a student might have his or her driver's license revoked for up to a year. Additionally, it is against the law for people to make fake IDs. This means that college students should not produce a false identification card to sell to students under the age of 21.
The Virginia Law Library says that the ramifications may be more severe if an underage student uses a fake ID to purchase alcohol. Students younger than 21 might face a Class 1 misdemeanor charge and they may need to perform community service and pay a fine. A court might also suspend an underage student's driver's license.

Seventh Circuit Finds That Sex Discrimination Includes Sexual Orientation
April 12, 2017 by Sean Herrmann
By Sean F. Herrmann
Practitioners in our field have grown accustomed to seeing others' dismay as they discover that Title VII does not bar sexual orientation discrimination. "That can't be true—it's 2017!" For decades, the prevailing belief, and reality, was that employers could discriminate against employees on the basis of their sexual orientations with relative impunity and the wronged employees would generally have no legal recourse. Hardened employment lawyers got used to this, but for most people this situation was nearly impossible to comprehend.
That common-sense disbelief has finally led somewhere. On April 4, 2017, the full 7th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals, in an 8-3 decision, ruled that sex discrimination extends to sexual orientation. The case is Hively v. Ivy Tech Community College of Indiana, No. 15-1720, (7th Cir. Apr. 4, 2017) and we should get to know it.
Kimberly Hively, the plaintiff-appellant, was a part-time, adjunct professor at Ivy Tech Community College. She was, as the court put it, "openly lesbian." Hively applied for six full-time positions and received none of them. Ivy Tech eventually decided not to renew her existing contract. Without the assistance of counsel, Hively filed an EEOC Charge that bluntly stated, "I believe I am being discriminated against based on my sexual orientation. I believe I have been discriminated against and that my rights under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 were violated."
Predictably, things initially appeared quite bleak for Hively. She acted pro se and filed in district court after receiving her right to sue letter from the EEOC. Ivy Tech moved to dismiss, arguing that Hively's complaint did not state a claim upon which relief could be granted because, simply, sexual orientation was not a protected class under Title VII. Predictably, the district court agreed with Ivy Tech and granted its motion.
But Hively wasn't done. The Lambda Legal Defense & Education Fund took her case and appealed the decision to the 7th Circuit. Predictably, the panel affirmed the district court's decision.
Then the unpredictable happened. Sitting en banc, the 7th Circuit reversed. Writing for the court, Chief Judge Diane Wood explained: "The logic of the Supreme Court's decisions, as well as the common-sense reality that it is actually impossible to discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation without discriminating on the basis of sex, persuade us that the time has come to overrule our previous cases that have endeavored to find and observe that line." Specifically, Judge Wood reviewed Supreme Court cases from the last 20 years, culminating with 2015's Obergefell v. Hodges decision, which ended state bans on gay marriage. The law was changing.
Judge Wood continued, "It would require considerable calisthenics to remove the 'sex' from 'sexual orientation.' The effort to do so has led to confusing and contradictory results, as our panel opinion illustrated so well." And Judge Richard Posner, concurring, set forth an explicitly more cautious approach to reversing and remanding. Namely, he contended that our nation's understanding of "sex" and "sex discrimination" has changed since 1964 and that should not be ignored. Quoting a 1920 Justice Holmes decision, Judge Posner said, "We must consider what this country has become in deciding what that [statute] has reserved." The law has not necessarily changed—the country has. Regardless of how you split the hairs, this decision is historic.
Your friends were right. Sexual orientation is covered by Title VII. Duh. This is certainly the case in Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin, at least. What does this mean for us in the 4th Circuit? Well, it provides new, persuasive authority that Title VII's prohibition against sex discrimination encompasses sexual orientation discrimination as well. Both Judge Wood and Judge Posner offer compelling reasons for other courts to break with tradition. And maybe, just maybe, the next time a Kimberly Hivey calls your office, you will pick up the phone.

Q: How to make the columns fill a data grid view completely I have 2 columns in my data grid view. But these 2 columns occupy only a portion of the view. How do i make both columns fill the view completely such first columns takes 50% space and second column takes the rest

A: Use
this.MyColumn1.AutoSizeMode = DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnMode.Fill;
this.MyColumn2.AutoSizeMode = DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnMode.Fill;

Then play with property this.MyColumn2.FillWeight for your purpose...

A: In visual studio in the properties window, when you select the dataGridView go to the property AutoSizeColumnsMode and select the option Fill.
All the columns will fit all the place of the dataGridView.

A: Change the column width to fill e.g.
oColumn.AutoSizeMode = DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnMode.Fill;

If you do this for all columns they will equally fill the grid (with or without the scrollbars). If you only sent if for 1 column that column will fill the remaining space leftover after all columns have been sized

Collishaw became very despondent at the cosmetically doctored images of flowers that appear on greetings cards and calendars. He made flower pictures where he grafted animal skins onto the surface of various flowers by computer. The resulting images had an aggressive animal appearance much like his idea of flowers, as they actually are, indifferent sexual predators.

This is a marvellously self-deprecating video about Estonia's peculiar world-view. Enjoy!
INTERESTING, but for the wrong reasons. That is a crude characterisation of Lithuania's dispiriting politics ever since the country regained its independence in 1991. In 2004 President Rolandas Paksas was impeached amid speculation over his ties to organised crime. In 2006 a senior politician, Viktor Uspaskich, claimed asylum in Russia after details of his party's unorthodox finances were leaked to the authorities. Barely less scandalous has been a 15-year delay over issues such as building a new nuclear power station or hooking up Lithuania's electricity grid to neighbours.
Luckily the politicians' failings have been offset by a small caste of impressive officials who have anchored the country in the European Union and NATO. Now one is to be president: Dalia Grybauskaite, who easily won the election on May 17th, is a former diplomat and finance minister. For the past five years she has been the EU's budget commissioner.
This has proved to be a good base for a political career. Lithuanians, shorn of their middle class under Soviet occupation, are impressed by experience abroad. The outgoing president, Valdas Adamkus, spent most of his life in America before returning "home" to serve two terms as head of state. In Brussels the hardworking and incisive Ms Grybauskaite has been a success. She has also used her position to make pointed criticisms of the Lithuanian government.
Nobody doubts her brains or grit. Yet she remains something of a mystery. Her election platform promised transparency and rigour, but gave few details of her views (she barely campaigned, and faced no serious challenger). Apart from her black belt in karate, her hobbies and tastes are unknown. Her zealously guarded private life (she is unmarried and childless) has prompted prurient media speculation. In Soviet days she taught agricultural economics in the Communist Party's in-house training college. In 1991 she was talent-spotted by an American programme for high-fliers in eastern Europe. But she does not seem to share the fervent Atlanticism usual among Lithuanian politicians.
Ms Grybauskaite's main formal role as president lies in foreign policy. But on domestic policy, she should work well with the centre-right coalition government that took office last year. She backs its austerity programme, which includes a 15% pay cut for all state employees—including her. She wants faster reforms, for example in energy, plus the sacking of incompetent ministers. Yet as Lithuania's leaders grapple with its current 12% fall in GDP, their big task is to explain the situation to a weary and cynical public. Finding the charm and sympathy to relate to ordinary folk may test the steely new president.
YOUTUBE may not be the most scholarly repository of material about energy security and Russian foreign policy, but it is certainly the most entertaining. This, for example, shows a Russian military choir saying that if Ukraine joins NATO "we'll cut off the gas". (And not just Ukraine: it also threatens to use the same means to punish Europe for its alliance with America.) The audience—shown during the broadcast on REN-TV, Russia's fourth channel—loved it. Others don't. Your columnist showed it to a senior Ukrainian politician. He flinched. "I hate them", was his unvarnished response.
Comedy and politics are a combustible mix. Rein Lang, Estonia's justice minister, was quite unfairly tarred as a Nazi in the Russian media when he hired an actor to perform a one-man satirical play about Hitler at his birthday party.
Berliners are laughing uproariously at Mel Brooks's play "The Producers" (pictured), which has finally opened in a German-language production in Berlin. It satirises New York theatre-land, telling the story of two producers who want to stage a failure for tax reasons; they put on the grotesque "Springtime for Hitler", only to find it becomes a raging success.
A bit of angst about enjoying an evening of jolly musical comedy that uses themes from the most dreadful period in their country's history would be understandable for the German audience. So the director has cast the only outright Nazi, a brown-shirted nostalgic sentimentalist, as a thickly-accented Bavarian wearing Lederhosen. So that's all right. Presumably when the show transfers to Munich, the villain will be an Austrian, and in Vienna it will be a Prussian.
Given that, it would be wrong to be po-faced about Russian comedy programmes that display taste which some may find questionable. The show on REN-TV clearly had some ironic overtones. It could be seen as poking fun at the Kremlin's supposed tendency to solve all foreign-policy problems by reaching for the gas tap. But the politicians in south-eastern Europe who have been signing up to the Kremlin-backed South Stream gas pipeline should perhaps watch and reflect on it a little before they ink their signatures.
The sight of a Russian audience laughing appreciatively at the sight of soldiers turning off a large gas valve in time to a mocking song about neighbouring countries also puts lines in the Gazprom propaganda film such as this in a different light. "You'll never ever have a surer friend than Gazprom", intones the singer. Inside Russia, at least.
It is worth noting that Russian officialdom is not known for its sense of humour. The best TV show in Russian recent history, of course, is no longer on air: Kukly (Puppets), with its sometimes brilliant caricatures of 1990s Russia, was an early victim of the Putin clampdown. Swedes found this skit tremendously funny, partly for the faux-mafia encounter at the beginning (which mocks Swedish naivety in dealing with Russian gangsters) but also for the glorious pastiche of Russian visual and musical clichés in the second half. It is not Russia's Eurovision entry, but it almost could have been. The Russian embassy in Stockholm was not amused, denouncing the broadcast and claiming that the people involved must be mentally ill.
English humour is an even bigger minefield. Our best-loved musical comedians, Michael Flanders and Donald Swann, once sang a song in favour of "patriotic prejudice". They maintained that the Scots were stingy, the Welsh were "more like monkey than man" and that the Italians eat garlic in bed. It concluded "The English are moral, the English are good/ and clever and modest and misunderstood." Who could possibly miss the joke in that?
One change is that outsiders now assess risk more calmly and rationally. All the former planned economies remain capital-thirsty. But otherwise they are all different. Indeed, a rare common factor among 20-odd countries in the region with the "ex-communist" tag is that they dispute its relevance. Tarring all with the mistakes of overheated Latvia, chaotic Ukraine or debt-sodden Hungary makes no sense. Nor does lumping together rich and poor countries, or those in the European Union and those outside. Exchange-rate regimes vary: two countries are in the euro; five countries have pegged their currencies to it; others float.
So far at least, speculators who counted on contagion toppling countries like dominoes have little to show for it, while those who bet the other way have juicy gains. Poland's stockmarket is up by nearly 40% since its low in February, Hungary's has risen by half and Russia's by nearly 90%.
Outside help is also now better co-ordinated. The previously standoffish IMF co-operates with the European Commission, national governments and the banks. Once seen as a lender of last resort, it now acts pre-emptively. In May it gave a $21 billion credit line to Poland, the biggest and strongest economy in the region. That is quite different, officials stress, from the emergency rescues of Belarus, Latvia, Hungary, Romania, Serbia and Ukraine.
The IMF is also behaving more gently. Ukraine was originally told to balance its budget this year. Now the IMF says a deficit of 4% of GDP is realistic; this month it released its latest $2.8 billion tranche. Officials are uneasy about insisting on fiscal tightening that may aggravate recession. Latvia is likely to be allowed to run a 7% deficit for this year—in return for promising, really and truly, to reach 4% in 2010.
A third change is that more aid has been given to western banks that face souring loans, typically to clients in Hungary and the Baltic states who borrowed in euros or Swiss francs. As outsiders cut back, a credit squeeze is threatening even healthy borrowers. A joint initiative by the EBRD, the World Bank and the European Investment Bank (which used to lend only to state-backed infrastructure projects) has raised $24.5 billion for banks and other firms across the region. The EBRD is putting €432m ($590m) into UniCredit, an Italian bank heavily exposed in eastern Europe. It is thinking of investing in 12 other west European banks. Countries such as Sweden have national schemes too.
In a new report, the IMF argues that European banks still need a lot more help. But the cash and guarantees given already have eased the greatest threat to the region: that western banks might pull out or sink under the weight of their eastern loan books. Meanwhile central Europe, home of many big car factories, has gained from rich-country governments' efforts to help their car industries. Neil Shearing of Capital Economics, a consultancy, reckons that German and other scrapping schemes to boost car sales will add fully 1% to GDP in Slovakia, and 0.5% in the Czech Republic and Hungary.
The biggest worry now is the Baltic three, which are seeing the sharpest falls in GDP. Estonia's first-quarter figures showed a year-on-year decline of 15.6%. The fall in Latvia was a stunning 18% and in Lithuania 12.6%. Monetary policy cannot counteract this, since all three are pegged to the euro. And fiscal policy offers no respite. Politicians are pushing through spending cuts, not only to reassure external lenders, but also to meet the Maastricht deficit target of 3% of GDP so as to adopt the euro soon (by 2011, Estonia hopes).
"The crisis is even good if it makes the state more efficient," says Andrus Ansip, the Estonian prime minister, who is cutting overall public spending by nearly 12%. He has slashed a fifth of the posts in his own chancellery, he says proudly. "Inefficient" spending will be cut; budgets vital for future growth will be preserved, he insists.
Devaluation is still largely taboo in the Baltics. The national currencies are not just economic symbols of solidity, but political ones too. Instead, they hope to regain competitiveness through wage cuts and greater efficiency. Such an "internal devaluation" is possible in theory, but it is unusual (and painful) in practice. It may work: Latvia now has a current-account surplus as its exports rise. Outsiders are awed by the Balts' determination, though sceptical that the sacrifice will pay off.
Still, while industries such as construction collapse, others, such as alternative energy, are growing. Mr Ansip cites Estonia's niche in windpower technology. In Latvia a firm called Carbon Neutral Biofuels has raised money for a $10m plant to turn low-grade wood into fuel pellets for Dutch power stations. Adrian Riley, the boss, says the crunch is "a return to reality after a period of acute silliness" when high costs threatened his project's viability.
The Baltics may be a special case: small, relatively well run, with flexible economies and friendly Nordic neighbours. The broader worry across the region is political. Street protests have been muted so far, and some anger against the smug, corrupt and incompetent politicians who squandered the chances of the past decade is anyway healthy. But the European elections in early June may show how voters are reacting to hard times.
Government crises have not brought big changes. The Czech Republic's centre-right coalition lost its majority in March amid a row with the headstrong president, Vaclav Klaus. But the result has not been chaos. Until elections in October, a competent-looking caretaker government will run the country, headed by the chief statistician, Jan Fischer. In Hungary a discredited Socialist prime minister, Ferenc Gyurcsany, resigned, nominating an economist, Gordon Bajnai, to run the government until an election next spring. He is pushing through tough spending cuts, with GDP likely to fall 6% this year.
Ivan Krastev, a Bulgarian-based analyst of the region's politics, says the fear of unemployment will disillusion middle-class voters and stoke protest voting. A bigger problem may be the fear among political elites, some of whom will stick at nothing to stay in power and out of jail. "The model is Berlusconi," he says glumly.
THE choice of name for the capital of present-day Lithuania—Wilno, Vilna, Vilne, Wilda, Vilnia or now Vilnius—shows who you are, or were. In the 20th century alone, it has been occupied or claimed by Germany, Russia, Poland and the Soviet Union, with only brief periods of Lithuanian autonomy.
Vilne, in Yiddish, was home to one of Judaism's greatest rabbis, a saintly brainbox known as the Gaon (Genius) who gave his first sermon aged seven and kick-started the great Jewish intellectual revival in the 18th century. "Vilna is not simply a city, it is an idea," said a speaker at a Yiddish conference in 1930. It was the virtual capital of what some call Yiddishland, a borderless realm of east European Jewish life and letters in the inter-war era. At times, the majority of the city's population was Jewish. Their murder and the deportation of many Poles by Stalin meant that the city lost 90% of its population during the second world war. Present-day inhabitants of Vilnius may find much they did not know in Laimonas Briedis's subtle and evocative book about their city's history.
Poles mourn the loss of Wilno, one of their country's great cultural and literary centres. Poland's two great poets studied there: Adam Mickiewicz nearly two centuries ago, and in the pre-war years Czeslaw Milosz, a Nobel prizewinner. Yet both men saw their Lithuanian and Polish identities as complementary, not clashing.
In any of the dozen possible renderings of the city's name, its roots evoke mystery. Wilda, its old German label, comes from the word wild. In Lithuanian come hints of the words for devil (velnias), the departed (velionis) and ghost (vele). That ambiguity is fitting. In its 700-odd years of recorded history, the city has been both capital city and provincial backwater. Outsiders have been struck by its filthy streets and shameless women, and also by its glorious architecture and heights of scholarship. Pilgrims flock to the Gates of Dawn, its most holy Catholic shrine. It has been the epitome of tolerance and a crucible of the Holocaust.
In a modern Europe Vilnius can seem peripheral. Mr Briedis, however, begins by noting that when French geographers recently plotted the mid-point between Europe's cartographical extremes, they found the continent's true centre was a derelict farmhouse just outside the city.
Lithuania eventually adopted Christianity, along with a dynastic deal with Poland, in 1387. A cathedral was built on the pagan temple, the holy fires doused and the sacred groves felled. The Grand Duchy of Lithuania flourished. At its height in the 16th century it was a vast multiconfessional empire, stretching to the Black Sea, with no fewer than six legal languages, including Hebrew and Armenian. Even as that declined, the Vilnius style of Baroque architecture ripened in glory, a "splendid autumn" in one of Mr Briedis's many well-turned phrases, that paid "a gracious farewell to its phantom golden age".
The most poignant chapter is on cemeteries past and present, many of which were desecrated by the Soviets. Mass graves are still unearthed in Vilnius. They hold victims of Stalin's NKVD, of the Nazis, and—as in one recent example—thousands of fallen soldiers from Napoleon's shattered Grande Armée. Vanished civilisations and lost empires leave a city stalked by horror and steeped in wonder.
