Articles / Will Increasing Regulation Slow Growth of Energy Drinks in Mexico?
Will Increasing Regulation Slow Growth of Energy Drinks in Mexico?
The Mexican government has adopted some of the strictest controls on energy drinks in an attempt to curb adolescent consumption – the question is will it work?
Energy drinks entered Mexico in 2002 and have experienced explosive growth over the past decade, with the industry reaching nearly US$615 million in sales in 2011. The products are targeted primarily to teenagers and young adults, as the products frequently allow young people to stay awake to study or party. However, in recent years there has been a backlash against these products, both at a national and global scale, as many claim that excessive consumption of energy drinks or mixing energy drinks and alcoholic beverages have caused the hospitalization or death of young people worldwide. While many previous attempts to regulate the drinks in various countries are in response to a particular highly publicized fatality rate or incidence of severe injury, in Mexico, no particular incident triggered the backlash. Negative health claims are based on studies conducted by the Secretary of Health and the Federal Commission for the Protection against Sanitary Health whose studies show that consumption in excess causes negative effects on mental and physical health, affecting the central nervous system and cardiac functioning and can even lead to death.
Starting in 2011, a new IEPS (special tax for production and services) tax was established on energy drinks, accounting for 25% of total production costs, the same rate as beer and wine. Manufacturers of energy drinks were forced to pass this cost on to consumers, with some brands such as Bomba energy drink registering a 30% unit price increase during 2011. Local subsidiaries producing and bottling energy drinks, including Peñafiel Bebidas and Embotelladora Garci-Crespo, claimed that this was unconstitutional and brought this case to the Supreme Court, but the decision was upheld by the court in February of 2012.
In October of 2011, the Mexican Senate officially banned the sale of energy drinks mixed with alcoholic beverages by all bars and restaurants. A popular combination, generally Jägermeister mixed with energy drinks, is known in Mexico as a "perla negra" or black pearl and is popular amongst young people.
In February 2012, the Mexican Senate voted to prohibit the sales of energy drinks to anyone under the age of 18, giving the products the same age restrictions as alcohol. The same law requires that energy drinks carry warning labels cautioning buyers about the risks of over-consumption.
These restrictions make Mexico among the strictest countries in the world in their regulation of energy drinks. While some European countries, such as Norway and France, had banned Red Bull, they were forced to reinstate the products in 2008 and 2009, respectively, in order to comply with European Union regulations, which prohibit restrictions on any products sold or produced in other EU countries absent a proven health risk. In November 2010 the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) sent official letters to companies warning them to stop adding caffeine to their alcoholic beverages or risk seizure after a highly publicized incident where excessive consumption of Four Loko, a malt-based alcoholic beverage with added caffeine, was linked to the death of several young adults. The product was reformatted to remove the caffeine and returned to the shelves in 2011. Several tax increases on energy drinks and other sugary beverages have been suggested at the local, state and national level in the United States but few have been passed.
What impact, if any, will these regulations have on the energy drinks market in Mexico? The new taxes have already been put into effect and resulted in an average unit price increase of 27% in 2011. As these products are already considered expensive and thus far have been out of the reach of most lower and lower middle income consumers, further increasing unit prices may restrict the spread of energy drinks among these groups, which make up the majority of the Mexican population. Gladiator, Coca-Cola's energy drink, is the cheapest major brand of energy drinks has been growing its brand share by targeting this untapped market. However, the tax hike caused the price to jump from Mx$51/litre in 2010 to Mx$66/litre in 2011 – still far cheaper than Red Bull (Mx$108/litre in 2011) but this 29% increase may slow this brands growth by keeping it out of the hands of the lower income and discourage further low cost brands from emerging to target this segment.
Regulations on the sale of energy drinks mixed with alcohol or to minors will only be as strong as their enforcement and such restrictions will be quite difficult to enforce. The sale of cigarettes to minors is also prohibited in Mexico, yet one out of every ten smokers in Mexico is underage due to lack of enforcement by retailers and police. It is unlikely that this ban will keep energy drinks out of the hands of teenagers entirely but is likely to slow growth rates in coming years. This strict regulatory environment may discourage new brands from entering the market or further product innovation. While it may be difficult to enforce the sales of alcohol mixed with energy drinks in commercial establishments, this law will prevent pre-mixed alcoholic energy drinks such as Four Loko from entering the Mexican market and sales of energy drinks through on-trade establishments is expected to fall over the long term as well.
While products targeting teens and young adults are becoming increasingly regulated, the market is wide open for products like 5-Hour Energy in the United States which targets young to middle aged professionals seeking an extra energy boost during the day. While such products would still be subject to the high tax rates, they do not receive the same backlash as traditional energy drinks as they are not meant to be consumed with alcohol and adults are likely to be more responsible about consuming them in moderation.

Grampian Foods gives lean deal to its workers
Workers at Europe's biggest supermarket meat supplier struck on Friday of last week to defend their pensions.
On the picket line in Haverhill last week (Pic: Valerio Berdini)
Members of the T&G union at the Grampian Foods' site in Haverhill, Suffolk, picketed the plant.
However, the action was called off halfway through the one-day action as bosses threatened to challenge the legality of the ballot.
Whatever the outcome of the legal challenge, the plight of the Grampian Foods workers has highlighted the attacks taking place on private sector pensions.
The dispute began when the company announced plans to wind up the "final salary" pension scheme, replacing it with an inferior "money purchase" scheme.
Workers stand to lose thousands of pounds if the changes go ahead.
The union's senior shop steward at the site, Peter Inwood, has worked for the company for 20 years. He said, "The new pension is not beneficial to workers who have shown commitment and loyalty to the company.
"But bosses have become aware that loyalty brings old age, which means the workforce is going to get slower. This is their way of getting rid of us and I know some who have already left.
"Closing the pension plan costs people who have shown loyal service.
"Staff morale is the lowest it has ever been on this site and this is the final straw."
Pauline Allen, 55, said she would now have to work until she was 65. "This change of pension has robbed me of thousands, and put on an extra few years to my working life," she said.
The legal challenge is believed to hinge upon the way the company's name appears on the ballot paper.
Union officials say that they will win a stronger mandate for strike action if they are forced to reballot.

What Really Happens When Your Flight is Cancelled?
You are here: Home / Travel / What Really Happens When Your Flight is Cancelled?
Have you ever been stranded in an airport? Whether it's an overbooked flight or a missed connection, it's no fun. I recently had the misfortune of being stranded at the airport.
In my case, it was the airline's fault. Well, at least they were taking responsibility forthe delay. Sooo…what really happens when an airline leaves you high and dry?
I was flying out of a smaller, regional airport, headed home to my tiny regional airport. When I say tiny, I mean tiny. We can fly to one of three cities, and then have to get connecting flights to anywhere else from there. At least those three cities are major hubs, though. I can't fly across the state without it becoming some major day long trek with 900 layovers.
Anyway, I was at the airport early, and got a text notification that my flight was delayed. The first notification said 45 minutes or so, so I wasn't too concerned. About 20 minutes later, we got another text. The flight had been delayed yet again – this time for another hour or so.
It was at that point that I started to become concerned about my connecting flight. I went and talked to the ticket counter, who was really helpful with helping me to decide what to do. They told me I could stay in the area where we were and start again tomorrow, or I could catch the first leg of my flight and stay there. And since the airline was claiming responsibility for the delay, they'd put me up in a hotel. Ok, great!
I decided to catch the first leg of my flight, which was to Atlanta. I figured I had a better chance of getting home sooner from there than I did the smaller airport. We had two more flight delays, and didn't leave until after I should have been home. Once I got to Atlanta, it was chaos. If you've ever been to Hartsfield airport, you know what I mean.
Each person I talked to told me to talk to someone else. Finally, someone sent me to the right area, where the agent again was really, genuinely helpful. He arranged for a hotel room and gave me one of the toiletry bags. Because…well…guess what! I had checked my bag. Yup…I had NOTHING with me except my carry-on.
In movies, when an airline puts you up, it's generally a pretty decent room. Not so much in real life. They directed me to the awaiting hotel shuttle field of dang near 50 shuttles, and the bus should have been my first clue. It was literally falling apart, and the seats were held together with duct tape. I've been to some questionable hotels in my life, and this was definitely one of them. It was hot and humid, and they had all of the fire escape doors open. It smelled like wet dog and mold and who knows what.
Luckily, the hotel had sort of a restaurant. It was more of a canned beer bar that had fried food, and all I could think of was Jon Taffer and Bar Rescue. I risked it and ate there anyway. I tried to sleep, but totally had a case of the heebie jeebies. Plus, this hotel was like 500 feet from the runway. It was kind of cool to watch – and feel – the planes land, but even that wears off.
I got up way early the next day to catch my flight. I'd rather wait at the airport than be there any longer. Plus, I had to go through security again. The lines at Hartsfield are no joke. The lines to get screened were AT LEAST half a mile long, and there were 6 of them. Then we went through another thing that was probably ¼ mile long and then we get to the xray machines. I will say though, that this went a lot quicker than I expected – maybe 30-45 minutes or so.
I finally land at my local airport, about 18 hours after I should have. At this point, I've spent damn close to 24 hours in airports, and I can't find my luggage. Of course. And then, like some miracle beacon, this giant purple suitcase comes up the ramp and topples onto the luggage carousel. MY giant purple suitcase, after everyone else's luggage has made a couple trips around. And I can no longer hold it together. I grabbed my suitcase off the carousel and dragged it out to my ride that was waiting, bouncing along on its side. I was finally home.
Soo…you may be asking what did I get from the airline? Just a stay in the sketchy motel and a customer satisfaction survey, in which they acknowledged my delayed flight. Not an apology. No airline dollars for another flight. No extra bonus miles. Not even reimbursement for my meals that I was out of pocket due to the delay.

Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad, 93, who has long advocated learning from Japan's postwar economic growth, resumed the country's leadership in May and is tackling debt problems left behind by his predecessor.
"I have so much respect for Prime Minister Mahathir's vigorous effort to build a country of fairness by once again bearing a heavy responsibility as leader," Abe told a joint news conference. He said Japan is committed to continuing its cooperation and assistance for Malaysia, including in investment, technology and infrastructure, including high-speed train systems.
Mahathir thanked Japan for its "very positive attitude" in helping to resolve Malaysia' financial problems.
His government says Malaysia has national debt and liabilities of nearly 1.1 trillion ringgit ($264 billion), almost 40 percent more than disclosed by the former government, in part because of a massive graft scandal at a state investment fund.
The 1MDB fund scandal contributed to the ouster of former leader Najib Razak in May elections, ushering in the country's first change of power since independence from Britain in 1957.
Abe said Japan's planned issuance of yen-denominated "samurai bonds" will be guaranteed by the Japan Bank for International Cooperation, and further details will be worked out.
Earlier Tuesday, Emperor Akihito presented Mahathir with one of Japan's highest awards for his international and cultural achievements.


A second red card in as many games for striker Duane Darby took the shine off a wonderful 1-0 win for the Diamonds in this top-of-the-table clash.
Darby can consider himself very hard done by as he was dismissed for two yellow cards, one for jumping in front of a thrower and the other for a challenge in which he seemed to win the ball fairly. Even so the Diamonds battled on and produced one of their best performances so far this season.
In a fervent atmosphere exacerbated by a pre-game call for increased encouragement from midfield hero Michael McElhatton, the Diamonds started impressively. Duane Darby, determined to go out in style before serving a suspension, volleyed over from a Setchell cross and then penetrated well down the left, breaking through a couple of challenges, before having his cross to strike partner Jackson cleared for a corner.
Jacko played his own part in the Diamonds next incisive attack, holding the ball up well on the right, he switched play magnificently, driving a 40 yard pass to Burgess on the other wing. The young winger bore down on goal before rifling a left foot shot inches wide of Simon Cooksey's right hand post.
Hereford offered very little in terms of goal mouth chances in this very tight affair but in all honesty chances were a priceless commodity for both sides. Youngsters Michael McIndoe and Gavin Williams were lively and full of pace while Striker Robin Elmes needed to be kept under guard especially in aerial situations. And it was one such situation, after 25 minutes, from which Hereford had their best chance, McIndoe delivering a beautifully flighted free-kick into the box and finding Elmes whose downward header was well saved by Turley and the ball cleared.
After a half time marriage proposal in which the Home support added their blessings, humorously chanting,'you don't know what your doing' it was Hereford who started the brighter. McIndoe and Williams were at the heart of all things good that came from the Hereford offensive yet still, clear cut chances were hard to come by.
Finally at the other end the Diamonds created a scoring chance. Burgess with a moment of brilliance, switched the ball inside to Jackson, who found himself surprisingly unmarked. Jackson with only the keeper to beat rounded him and just squeezed the ball past defender Ian Wright who thought he had the goal covered.
Minutes later Jackson nearly sent the boisterous crowd delirious again, this time being put through by an equally exquisite ball from Gary Mills, Jackson blasted the ball goalwards rattling the cross bar after Keeper Cooksey got the slightest and most important of touches.
Darby left the field after 68 minutes to a round of applause but the Diamonds' 10 men refused to buckle under the pressure which inevitably came their way. The excitement increased ten-fold as Hereford tried to make their advantage pay and Diamonds tried to hit them on the break as Hereford over-committed in attack.
Mills, breaking from the half-way line, broke through 2 or 3 challenges but after composing himself with just Cooksey to beat, he gave the keeper a relatively simple save. This was a shame as a goal would have capped a very fine performance from the youngster. With 2 minutes left Hereford had a corner and with nearly all 22 men in the Diamonds box or around it the ball dropped into a melee of players. Striker Williams reacted quickest and acrobatically directed a shot goalwards from 6 yards. Heading for the top corner Keeper Billy Turley undoubtedly saved his side 2 points with an amazing and instinctive save, tipping the ball over to the Delight of the Nene Park faithful.


This is my voice coming from within my body and mind, but how do I speak as us? When our units affine, determination spreads like falcon's feathers stroking the wind for momentum. Changes instantly reward my multiplex edges, from thorax to nostrils and from tentacles to scales. Reverberations signal at us simultaneously. Losing the flocking rhythm seems daunting and I whistle to be accepted in the dancing ritual. Alarming sirens as we stumble upon new frequencies. With the moon as reference point, the artificial beaconing lights make me hopelessly confused. This optical learning is: how to close your eyes to recognise that which surpasses human audibility. Adjusting to the others is to be recognised as a formula. As I am lured further from my shelter, I spread my own haze of confusion. Its backbone becomes a horizontal vertebra laying bare as platform.

JS's journal for December 1841–December 1842 was inscribed in a large, leather-bound blank book made with thick paper. The paper bears a star-shaped watermark in the middle of each leaf and was printed with forty-seven blue lines on each side. The text block was originally formed with thirty gatherings of eight leaves each. The second gathering, however, has only six leaves. This six-leaf gathering was either a binding error or one sheet came loose from the binding before the book was inscribed (the book's inscription and pagination runs through this gathering without skipping any text or page numbers). The gatherings were sewn all along. Each set of front and back endpapers consisted of a gathering of four leaves of unlined paper, but only two leaves are now extant in the back gathering. The trimmed pages measure 16¼ × 10½ inches (41 × 27 cm). Headbands were sewn onto the text block. The exterior pages of the endpapers are joined to the pasteboards with a strip of pink cloth. Marbled papers featuring a shell pattern with green body and veins of red and yellow are glued to the inside covers of the boards and to the exterior page of each gathering of endpapers. The leaf edges are stained green. The text block is bound in a ledger style to the boards. The spine was constructed with four false raised bands demarcating five panels. The boards and spine are covered in suede leather with additional leather strips over the top and bottom of the book. The suede leather was blind tooled on the outside covers, the raised bands of the spine, and the turned-in edges on the inside cover. The additional leather strips, which also cover the first and fifth panels of the spine, are embossed with dual lines and vegetal designs along the borders and have gold line filling. The spine is further embossed with the number "6" in 20-point type on the fifth panel. The second and fourth panels have black-painted squares of paper glued to them. These feature gold lining and decoration at the top and bottom. The completed volume measures 17 × 11 × 2¼ inches (43 × 28 × 6 cm) and includes 244 free leaves. A penciled inscription at the inside top corner of page [ii]—the verso of the front marbled flyleaf—gives what appears to be an expensive price for this high-quality blank book: "bth | 10.00".

. At some point page [1], the recto of the last leaf of unlined endpaper in the front of the book, was inscribed with a title: "THE | BOOK | of the | LAW | of the | LORD". Because these words are hand lettered in various ornate styles, the handwriting cannot be identified. A matching title appears on the spine of the volume: the square label of black paper on the second panel of the spine bears a smaller square label of white paper with a hand-lettered inscription: "LAW | — of the — | LORD." Willard Richards inscribed pages 26–126 of the book, with help from
on pages 27–28 and 72–87. Clayton inscribed the rest of the volume, pages 127–477, with help from
on pages 168–171 and from
on pages 189–190 and 192–201. These clerks and scribes generally paginated the book and inscribed dateline page headers along the way as they inscribed its texts.
The page numbers on pages 19–71, 86–90, and 122–125 are in the handwriting of Willard Richards; on pages 72–85, 91–121, 126–167, and 171–477, in the handwriting of William Clayton; and on pages 168–170, in the handwriting of Erastus Derby. There are two pages numbered 453. Pages 476–477 constitute the last leaf of lined paper. The headers generally consist of a year or a month and year. The headers inscribed on pages 26–27, 29–71, 88–95, 119, and 121–126 are in the handwriting of Richards; the headers inscribed on pages 28, 72–87, 96–118, 120, 127–167, and 172–215 are in the handwriting of Clayton; pages 168–171, which were inscribed by Derby, have no headers. A few other pages are missing headers.
The donation records constitute the bulk of the volume. The journal entries are inscribed on pages 26, 31, 33, 36, 39, 43, 44, 48, 56–61, 66–67, 88–95, 122–135, and 164–215. As is also the case with the pages bearing donation records, many of the pages bearing journal entries have vertical margin lines inscribed in graphite. The journal entries themselves are inscribed in ink that is now brown. Pages 165–181, however, either include or are entirely in blue ink. Some of the entries begin with a descriptive heading as well as a dateline. The entry for 6 January 1842, for example, features the large heading "The New Year". Page 58 features the large double underlined heading "Journal of President Joseph". Many of the entries are divided by horizontal lines. Where groups of journal entries span several pages, notes written at the beginning and end of these spans reference the previous or succeeding pages of journal entries.
For example, page 135 points the reader to page 164, which begins by noting the continuation from page 135.
At various stages in the production of the volume,
signed their names to their work (pages 126, 181, 215).
The volume contains a number of redactions that were made as the journal entries were later revised for inclusion in the "History of Joseph Smith" published in Mormon newspapers in the mid-nineteenth century.
This serialized history drew on the journals herein, beginning with the 4 July 1855 issue of the Deseret News and with the 3 January 1857 issue of the LDS Millennial Star.
Most of these redactions, made in graphite, were subsequently erased.
Most of these now-erased graphite inscriptions are recoverable with bright white light and magnification. Pages 209–215, which were not erased, represent the state of the journal entries generally when they were used for drafting the "History of Joseph Smith."
The upper left-hand corner of page 3 bears the graphite inscription "6", a redactive note on page 43 is inscribed in purple pencil, and red-penciled "X"s appear in the margins next to entries on pages 164 and 180. Notes written on three white and three blue slips of paper of various sizes have been inserted in various places, as well as a clipped portion of a

Historical Introduction
recorded JS's journal entries from 13 December 1841 through 20 December 1842 in a large leather-bound blank book. The book was first used by church recorder
to copy revelations. Between January 1841 and his death on 27 August the same year, Thompson recorded nine of JS's revelations, beginning with the 19 January 1841 revelation commanding the building of the

. On 11 December 1841, following his election as "sole Trustee in Trust for the Church" earlier in the year, JS instructed that all donations for building the Nauvoo temple be received directly through his office rather than through the committee overseeing construction of the temple. Two days later, he appointed Willard Richards of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles as recorder for the temple and as his personal scribe. Richards then became custodian of the book Thompson had used for recording revelations, and Richards apparently began recording journal entries and tithing donations in some manner on that same day. However, the quality of inscription for the journal entries in the book suggests that they are copies of previously inscribed notes, and if Richards began making such notes in mid-December it is less certain when he began copying them into the book.
One of Richards's entries records that he was ill "& did not take notes." Other entries, such as those dictated by JS to William Clayton while in hiding, are clearly copies of previously inscribed notes. (JS, Journal, 17 June 1842; 16 and 23 Aug. 1842.)
The book apparently was kept in the "counting room" on the lower floor of
JS's red brick store

Journal entries and donations were kept concurrently in the book, alternating sometimes every other page and chronologically leapfrogging each other. This pattern was especially pronounced near the beginning of the book, where donations and journal entries occasionally appear together on a single page. Over time, however, larger and larger blocks of text were dedicated to either donations or journal entries until eventually, in December 1842, the journal was transferred to another book. This slow separation or disentanglement of the journal and donation records—the reasons for which are unclear—was completed long before the volume was filled; indeed, only 90 of the volume's 478 pages include journal entries, and all of these are within the first 215 pages. In several places it is clear that lists of donations were recorded earlier than were the journal entries found on preceding pages; that is, Richards and William Clayton—who was assigned to assist in the recorder's office 10 February 1842—left several pages blank between lists of donations and then later filled in those pages with journal entries.

This practice sometimes left the scribes with insufficient space to finish a journal entry before running into the list of donations, requiring them to continue the entry several pages later.
For example, the donation records on pages 136–163 were evidently inscribed before the 16 August 1842 journal entry, which begins on page 135 and is continued on page 164.
The interspersing of journal entries with pages of donation records, as well as JS's conscious efforts to record the names of people who helped him, suggests that the volume as a whole was understood in terms of an 1832 revelation that "a hystory and a general church record" must be kept "of all things that transpire in Zion and of all those who consecrate properties . . . and also there manner of life and the[ir] faith and works." This record was to be kept in a book called "the book of the Law of God"—a book whose name parallels that of "the book of the law of the Lord" mentioned in the Old Testament.

continued the pagination of
's revelation transcripts and, at some point in time, the title "The Book of the Law of the Lord" was inscribed in the front of the book Richards was filling with journal entries and donation records. That the revelation transcripts, donation records, and journal entries appear under the same title and pagination suggests the book's creators understood its title to comprehend all of its parts.
During the first few months of keeping JS's journal,
included events that occurred before his appointment as JS's scribe and temple recorder as well as current journal entries. For example, in his 13 December 1841 entry on deteriorating conditions in

At times these retrospective entries eclipse the events of the day on which they were written and have no apparent connection to surrounding entries.

Multiple entries for individual days, sometimes separated by several pages, add to the complexity of the first part of the journal and also suggest that Richards wrote retrospectively at least part of the time. Only after Richards moved into the Smith home in mid-January 1842 and was able to more closely observe JS's actions did the entries become more regular, and even then multiple entries occasionally occurred. Immediately preceding the entry for 15 January 1842, the header "Journal of President Joseph" appears—showing that by the time he moved into JS's home, Richards considered the daily entries he was keeping as journal entries.

, he transferred the book—and therefore JS's journal—to his assistant,
, to keep during his absence. Two months later, in early September, Clayton was appointed temple recorder, officially replacing Richards as custodian of the Book of the Law of the Lord. Some of Clayton's entries include accounts of JS's activities during the day as well as his activities later in the evening. In some of these entries, the record of the evening events is inscribed in an ink that differs from the ink he used to record JS's activities earlier in the day yet matches that of the following day's entry. This indicates that he was probably writing in the book about some events the very day they occurred.
Pages 207–209, for example, contain such inscriptions. Willard Richards's entry for 10 March 1842 also indicates contemporaneous inscription.
's first entry (30 June 1842) retrospectively records three events dealing with the

] Read in the Law of the Lord" the day before;

alternatively, Clayton may have recorded it on his own in his role as assistant temple recorder. Either way, its inclusion clearly demonstrates the desire to include information about the temple in the record. The Book of the Law of the Lord was to be kept in the temple when it was completed.

At the organizational meeting of the Female Relief Society of Nauvoo on 17 March 1842, JS charged the society with "correcting the morals and strengthening the virtues of the female community." To this end, the organization regularly took roll, voted on the worthiness of its members, and investigated charges of improper behavior. Marvel was here accused of spreading "scandalous falsehoods on the character of Prest Joseph Smith," concerning his relationship with Agnes Coolbrith Smith (wife of his deceased brother Don Carlos), "without the least provocation." On 2 April 1842, following the Relief Society's investigation of the charges, Marvel wrote a statement that she had never "at any time or place, seen or heard any thing improper or unvirtuous in the conduct or conversation" of either JS or Agnes, and that she had never "reported any thing derogatory to the characters of either of them." The report of the Marvel investigation, presented at the meeting of 14 April 1842, cleared Marvel of charges and stated that her testimony of innocence was satisfactorily received. Mary Ann West, who lived with Agnes in Nauvoo, reported fifty years later that Agnes told her that she (Agnes) had become a plural wife of JS following the death of her husband, Don Carlos.

Boys basketball: Win against Bolingbrook shows Belleville West may win title again
Eric Ginnard – eginnard@shawmedia.com
Bolingbrook's Joseph Yesufu goes to the basket against Belleville West during the Class 4A ISU Supersectional on Tuesday at Red Bird Arena in Bloomington.
NORMAL – With a strong returning class from last season's Class 4A state champions, it was understandable why Belleville West was regarded as the team to beat once again heading into the final week of the season.
And with the possibility of the Maroons accomplishing something that they never had before, they were able to get the job done against coach Rob Brost's Bolingbrook team, which had hoped to assure itself of a third state trophy in the last five years.
Coach Joe Muniz's Maroons assured themselves of consecutive trophies for the first time in their program's history as they grabbed a 37-29 halftime lead and went up 56-42 late in the third quarter, and then kept the Raiders from getting any closer than five points back in the fourth quarter, as they claimed a 72-60 victory at Illinois State University's Redbird Arena.
Belleville West (32-4) advances to Friday's Class 4A semifinal at 7:15 p.m., when it meets Curie, who edged Simeon, 56-54, in the Northwestern University Supersectional.
Maroons standout EJ Liddell led all players with 20 points and had nine rebounds. They also got big games from Jaylin Mosby (17 points), Lawrence Brazil III (14 points) and Keith Randolph Jr. (11 points). West shot 61.5 percent from the field and outrebounded the Raiders, 34-24, to help it establish control.
"Our defense was really good tonight," Muniz said. "Bolingbrook is super quick, and our goal was to make sure that they had to play against our half-court defense. And we tried to make them shoot jump shots and not layups. One thing we did was kept them in front defensively and did a great job doing that, and our kids took great shots. When you take bad shots against Bolingbrook, they'll turn them into layups. So we made sure that we took good shots all night long, so credit our seniors.
"Bolingbrook is a heckuva team, and they've ended our summer at the Morris Shootout in the championship game for the last three years. We knew what type of team we were going to face, and our kids were ready. And it helps when you have the best player in the state who is surrounded by a bunch of really good players, and they're best of friends."
The Raiders (23-8) were led by Kameron Leonard (13 points), Jordan Myrick (11 points), Darius Buford (nine points), Tyler Cochran (nine points), Joseph Yesufu (eight points) and Anthony Thompson (eight points).
"There's no excuses, since we're not that type of program or team. They're really good," Brost said. "We had opportunities right around the basket over and over and over, and we just didn't convert, and EJ would block it or altered several shots. And we shot about 18 percent from 3, and that's not a recipe to beat these guys. We have to give them all of the credit, since I thought our kids played extremely hard. We're proud of the season we had."

Dave Lindorff: The Land of the Silent and the Home of the Fearful
March 15, 2017 August 29, 2008 by Richard Moore

The Land of the Silent and the Home of the Fearful
by Dave Lindorff
I was a speaker last night at an anti-war event sponsored by the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Monmouth County, Progressive Democrats of America and Democrats For America in Lincroft, NJ, near the shore. It was a great group of activist Americans who want to see this country end the Iraq War, turn away from war as a primary instrument of policy, and start dealing with the pressing human needs of the country and the world.
Yet even in this group of committed people, one woman stood up during the question-and-answer session and said, "I want to get involved in writing emails to members of Congress urging them to cut off funding for the war and other things, but if I do that won't I end up getting put on a "watch list'" or something?"
I told her the short answer was yes, she probably would. In George Bush's and Dick Cheney's America, no one is safe from such spying, and even from harassment, as witness Tom Feeley, the man behind the website Information Clearing House, who had armed men invade his house at night and threaten his wife complaining about his First Amendment-protected effort to publicize important stories on the Internet.
But I also told her that it didn't matter. She should defend her freedom of speech and her right to petition for redress of grievances, just as she was defending her freedom of assembly by attending last night's event.
The only demonstrably true statement George Bush has made in his sorry eight years in office is that the Constitution is "just a goddamned piece of paper." While it wasn't the point he was making, when he reportedly shouted this at a couple of Republican members of Congress who were questioning the constitutionality of some of his actions, he was right that the nation's founding document is only worth the parchment and ink it's composed of, unless people use it and defend it.
There is a remarkable and palpable fear abroad in this land-not a fear of terrorism, but a fear of speaking up, a fear of being labeled as "different" or as a "troublemaker."
People will lean over and whisper their opinions, if they think they are anti-Establishment, as though someone might be listening. People write me after some of my columns run, praising me for my "courage," though why it should be perceived as requiring courage to merely write something in America is beyond me.
The worst thing is that every time someone says she or he is afraid, or acts afraid to speak or write what she or he is thinking, five more acquaintances become equally scared and silenced.
The corollary, though, is that each time someone forgets or ignores or rejects that fear, five people gain courage the do the same thing.
Now I'm not saying that there aren't people monitoring, and reporting on, what we say. I know our government is busy doing that. I assume that my Internet activities are being monitored by the National Security Agency. I assume my phones are tapped. I assume there was some agent or informant among the fine people at the church last night. But these Stasi wannabes have no power if we don't let them frighten us into silence and inaction.
What I find discouraging is the widespread acceptance, even on the left, of this effort to intimidate us, and the pervasive attitude of fear that has grown up around us. I spent a year and a half living in a truly fascistic society in China, where there are real, concrete threats to life and liberty faced by those who stand up and say what they are thinking, and yet sometimes I think that ordinary people I met in China were braver about stating their minds than many, or even most Americans are. I'm not talking here about saying things like that you think the Post Office is dysfunctional, or that you think federal bureaucrats are corrupt or that taxes are too high. I'm talking about questioning the system, or challenging the war, or protesting military spending. Chinese people would tell me all the time that the Chinese Communist Party was a corrupt gang of thugs or that you could not get justice in a Chinese court. Chinese people are closing down factories that short them on their pay. They have rallied in the thousands and burned down police stations when corrupt police have raped, killed and then covered up the death of a young girl. They have marched in massive impromptu protests at the theft of their homes through eminent domain.
If you want to see where we're headed here in America, check out the workplace. There, we Americans have, through years of collective cowardice and unwillingness to stand together in organized labor unions, allowed our constitutional freedoms to be almost completely erased. Today, an American workplace is more akin to a police state than to a democratic society. Say what you're thinking on the job, and you're liable to lose it. Wear a shirt that says something the boss disagrees with, and you either remove that shirt or you are unemployed. Even that final refuge of free speech, the bumper sticker, can get workers in trouble if the wrong one shows up in the company parking lot. That loss of will and of freedom has in no small way contributed to the loss of jobs and the decline in living standards of American workers.
It's time for all of us to put a stop to this creeping usurpation of our liberties.
The anxious woman who asked her question came up to me after the meeting and said proudly that she would not be afraid, and would start signing on to protest letter-writing and emailing campaigns.
We need lots more like her.

I like to tell people where I've been, I like to regale folks about the hills I've climbed, the long walks and adventures I've experienced and I love it when people read my blog and are inspired to cover the same route. Me and about a million other people do the same and in turn, we promote a wee piece of Scotland encouraging people to visit. It's why I like to write my blogs; I love our countryside and I adore Scotland.
However, on my long-awaited first visit to Finnich Glen, I was disgusted by the level of litter and mess left from the hoards of tourists and visitors since the series Outlander was aired. I've never watched the programme to be fair, but it must have made some impact on the nation to inspire so many vandalising, cider swilling, Waitrose red wine quaffing, M&S sandwich scoffing, self-centered inconsiderates to visit an area of such natural beauty. From towels and trainers to tin cans and dirty nappies, mountains of rubbish piled high under bushes and trees, people thinking that keeping the pile together is being thoughtful, it is not, you are lazy and damaging. Take your crap home or don't visit. Don't blame your mum for not picking up after you, don't blame the council for not providing bins and don't blame the smells in the car on the way home. There is NO excuse for leaving crap except for the fact that you are bone idle and quite frankly, it's a surprise that your lazy body managed to make it to the glen at all considering the lack of energy and effort you have. And stop leaving boxer shorts on branches, why would you do that?
It is a beautiful place even in the cloudiest of weather, so moody and evocative. It started to rain slightly which added to the ambiance. Its romantic, scary, hypnotic and invigorating. I have lived most of my 48 years within a 7 mile radius of this and quite shockingly, this was my first time. We went mid-week and quite early, about 9.30am and it was relatively quiet with maybe another 10 people joining us throughout the morning.
My final and last point is PLEASE enjoy responsibly. I'm not against bonfires, picnics and drinking wine outdoors but take your sh*t home with you please and allow others to enjoy this great and free experience.

Beautiful Kate, I'm sure my brother frequented this place many moons ago, your pics are great.
Thanks Lynda, the locals would have discovered this long before the masses. What a fun playground although full of dangers!


The EmpowerID SSO framework allows you to configure Yammer as an identity provider for the EmpowerID Web application. EmpowerID integrates with Yammer using the OAuth protocol to allow your users to log in to EmpowerID using their Yammer account.
As a prerequisite to creating an SSO Connection for Yammer as an Identity Provider, you must have a Yammer account and register the EmpowerID web application for your organization in the developer's section of the Yammer site. This creates a set of values known by Yammer and the EmpowerID web application that allow the two to enter into a federated trust relationship. These values include the Client ID and the Client Secret (these values are generated by Yammer), as well as the Redirect_URI. (This value is entered by you to tell Yammer where to post the assertion of a user's identity to the EmpowerID Assertion Consumer Service).
For specific directions on registering EmpowerID as an application in Yammer, see the information provided by Yammer at https://www.yammer.com.
When registering EmpowerID in Yammer, use the following URL as the Callback or Return URL, replacing "FQDN_OF_YOUR_EMPOWERID_SERVER" with the FQDN of the EmpowerID Web server in your environment.
Once the IDP Connection has been set up for Yammer, you can create a link similar to the one below to allow users to login to EmpowerID using Yammer. Be sure to replace "FQDN_OF_YOUR_EMPOWERID_SERVER" with the FQDN of the EmpowerID Web server in your environment and "Yammer" with the name of the IDP connection you create for Yammer in EmpowerID.
From the OAuth Applications management page, click the OAuth Service Provider tab and then search for Yammer.
From the OAuth Service Provider grid, click the Yammer link.
From the External OAuth Provider Details page that appears, click the Edit button for the specific Yammer connection you want to edit. By default, EmpowerID includes one connection. However, you can add as many connections for Yammer as your organization needs.
In the OAuth Connection pane that appears, type the Client ID Yammer generated for your application in the Consumer Key field and the Client Secret in the Consumer Secret field.
Optionally, add any desired MFA points to the Yammer application by following the below steps.
From the External OAuth Providers page for Yammer, click the Provider Edit link at the top of the page.
In the MFA Point Value field, type the number of MFA points you want to give to users logging in with Yammer.
Next, add a login tile for Yammer to the desired IdP Domains. This allows your users to authenticate to EmpowerID with their Yammer credentials. If you have not set up an IdP Domain for your environment, you can do so by following the directions in the below drop-down.
In the IdP Domain Details page that appears, click the External OAuth Providers tab and check the box beside Yammer.
Log out of the EmpowerID Web interface and navigate your browser to the domain name you configured for the Yammer IdP connection.
Click the Login using Yammer button.
This redirects your browser to the Yammer Login for the EmpowerID web application you created in Yammer. Enter your Yammer credentials and click Log In.
Yammer directs you to the Access Request page for the EmpowerID application you created in Yammer. Click Allow to allow EmpowerID to retrieve the information in needs to link the Yammer account to your EmpowerID Person.
This permissions page only appears the first time you log in to EmpowerID with your Yammer account. Subsequent logins simply redirect your browser from the Yammer login page to the EmpowerID web application.
Back in the EmpowerID Web application, click Yes to indicate that you have an EmpowerID login.
Upon successful submission of your one-time password, EmpowerID logs the user in and joins the Yammer account to their EmpowerID Person account.
