Reading Shakespeare for Fun and Profit

My husband picked up my copy of Measure for Measure a couple of nights ago. This isn’t so bad,” he said. “I think I can read this.” He asked me for some advice about how to read the plays, or he should have, which amounts to the same thing, so I am going to tell you what I told him. I also know that many of you readers, literate men and women that you are, have in fact already read many or most or all of the plays, plus seen the movie, and you don’t need to hear what I told him. But bear with me, or I’ll have to write another two sentence post.

Basically, I’d advise against reading Shakespeare at the rate of one page a night, which is how my husband is doing it. He read Emma this way also. As a result, it took him several years to find out that Emma was going to marry Mr. Knightly. What I find amazing about his reading of Emma is that he really didn’t guess that Emma was going to marry Mr. Knightly until she actually did. Every night, I’d say something innocent like, “So honey, who’s Emma going to marry?” And he’d say, “oh, I don’t know. But not that Mr. Knightly guy. She really hates him.”

So that’s my first piece of advice.  Try to finish the play quickly enough that you can still remember what happened in the beginning.

This brings me to my second piece of advice, which I know will be a little controversial. It’s this: read a summary of the play before you begin. Yes, this will ruin the ending. But you know what? You probably already know that both Romeo and Juliet die and that things don’t go well for Hamlet. How do you know that? Because they are tragedies. And yes, in fact, they all DO get married at the end of the comedies. It isn’t going to ruin a thing if you figure out ahead of time which couples end up together and maybe some of the more complicated stuff about who gives the gold chain to whom. You’ll be more relaxed as you read because you won’t be trying to figure out the plot. You can expend your energy on thinking about why it is that some people speak in verse and some people don’t and considering what tune those songs in the comedies might have been sung to.

My third — and final — piece of advice has to do with where you should read Shakespeare. In fact, it is my main suggestion this morning. That is because I am about to get on the train, and it just occurred to me:

Read Measure for Measure standing up, while commuting to work. Read it while standing over a young man who should have gotten up and given you a seat, seeing as how you are engaged in heavy intellectual lifting and he is reading Gamer’s Weekly. Actually, he is not reading Gamer’s Weekly. He is staring blankly at you, and not doing a thing.

He is also barely out of high school, and perfectly able to stand up and give you his seat. I know this is retro and not cool, but it has begun to bother me quite a bit when men do not offer to give their seats to the women who are teetering over them trying to keep their balance as the train throws them back and forth. The woman I am thinking of is teetering around because she is carrying a lot of stuff and is also trying to read Shakespeare.

It is not mandatory to give up your seat, but it’s such a nice thing to do, and I have come to the decision, after years and years of commuting, that giving up your seat should be part of every man’s repertoire of charming things to do.

There are good reasons to do this. The main reason is that the reward for giving up your seat to the woman who is trying to read Shakespeare and not kill herself trying to hold a book and a really heavy bag full of the computer she doesn’t get to use to write her novel with because the train is so crowded, is that doing so will cause every woman on the train to look at the seat-giver-upper and smile. And if the man is single, maybe this will include a woman who might otherwise not give him the time of day. If he is married, this will remind him that he once won a woman’s heart by being a good guy and so should say something sweet to his wife when he gets home because her heart is still his.

It is good for men to feel like they’ve been helpful. (Yes, it is good for PEOPLE to feel like this. But as it happens it’s always a guy who’s sitting down reading something stupid or staring into space with his mouth open while I’m standing up trying to maintain my dignity and get in some reading. Okay, sometimes I’m staring into space because I forgot to bring a book. But my thoughts have redeeming value.)

One other thing: Be sure to flip the pages of your edition of Shakespeare at a rate of more than one every twenty minutes. Even if you aren’t reading, flip the pages fast. He won’t notice, probably, but it will make you feel better.

So. That was the fun part. Tomorrow (or as it goes in BlogLily time, in a few days) I’ll get to the profit part.

27 thoughts on “Reading Shakespeare for Fun and Profit

  1. A man who will give up his seat to a woman reading Shakespeare on a train will never lack for love. Same for the man who will hold the elevator for a woman trying to fasten her earring, or the man who will stop and help a woman repair a punctured bicycle tire. I wonder, is it indifference or fear that has replaced chivalry?

  2. Maybe, twenty years ago, it was fear of being stabbed with the earring by a woman who felt condescended to. Having been one of those stabbers at one time, I’d like to say to those men I made to feel bad because they were just trying to be kind and do what their mothers told them to do, and not trying to be all patriarchal on me, I’M SO SORRY! Can I have a seat on the train now?

    Now, unfortunately, it’s indifference.

  3. Having been stabbed once or twice, I decided long ago to hold the elevator for both men and women trying to get their earrings in while running late to work and to offer my seat to anyone reading Elizabethan literature on the train regardless of gender. This applies to both Elizabeths, by the way–I’m sympathetic to modern literature as well. Please. Take my seat.

    I have a foster daughter who is a refugee from Burma. She comes from a minority ethnic group living in the mountains of Western Burma. There are no books published in her mother tongue, and very few published in the slightly larger dialect she also speaks. There were no books in her village, and her schooling ended in the fourth grade.

    When she started the ninth grade a few months ago, the first thing they assigned her was Romeo and Juliet. It was surreal journey, getting through that play together. (How do you explain “hark, what light trough yonder window breaks” to someone who doesn’t speak English?)

    She rides the city bus to school every morning. I hope someone gave up a seat for her in deference to her reading!

  4. i would never give up my seat to a woman reading shakespeare. now, if they were reading ibsen, that’s another matter altogether.

    i’ve never had gallantry lead to a date. the other women are thinking, “oh, what a nice fellow for giving up his seat to someone reading shakespeare! how lovely!” but being being a heel/bad boy works wonders. “that jerk won’t give up his seat to the lady reading shakespeare. he’s totally hot. and i’ll bet he rides a motorcycle.”

    for goodness sake, don’t read the bard’s plays, go see them! i command thee.

    sorry to be so contrarian, but i’m at the end of a long, exhausting business trip in which i didn’t have to give up my seat for anybody.

  5. Here, BookFraud, come sit down. And while I’m at it, would you like a beer? You poor guy. As for the performing/reading thing: I like both. But it’s much more fun to be at a performance if I have read the play — it’s easier to follow. The bad boy motorcycle thing? That is a myth all men tell themselves to justify their bad behavior. (Okay, that is a big fat lie. But I thought I’d try it out to justify my long history with such men. I did not, however, marry such a man. I married the one who jump started my car and continues to perform such acts of kindness, without complaint, to this day.)

    Ben, my first exposure to Shakespeare was around your daughter’s age — I watched Franco Zeffirelli’s soft core porn version of Romeo and Juliet six and a half times (I had to go home and babysit my little brother, which accounts for the half…). I loved Leonard Whiting and Olivia Hussey for a very, very long time. I cannot now actually believe that someone named Leonard Whiting could be so beautiful, but he really was, at least in my eyes. This ties in to Bookfraud’s comment, by the way — sometimes seeing is better than reading, or at least a better way in to reading.

  6. I’ve inserted the italics here, since i can so clearly hear them ….

    “Okay, sometimes I’m staring into space because I forgot to bring a book. But MY thoughts have redeeming value.”

    And who else but BL would write this delightful post?

  7. This was fun, from start:

    “He asked me for some advice about how to read the plays, or he should have, which amounts to the same thing”

    to finish. If you hadn’t mentioned it, I would’ve completely forgotten about the profit portion of your promise!

    And I agree, on all points. Esp reading the play before you see it — knowing the plot keeps you from getting bogged down in trying to figure out who is who, and lets you ease into the language and performances. There are no plot surprises in Shakespeare, no O.Henry A-Ha’s!

    And I can’t believe it took your husband that long to read Emma — I suppose I’m glad he persevered, but part of me is like, if you’re not propelled by the absolute love of the book to read more than a page a day, um, why bother?

  8. If I brought my huge Riverside edition of all of Shakespeare’s plays on the bus, I’d a) throw my back out, b) hit someone else by accident with it when I accidentally fell because the bus lurched and no one would give me a seat even though I now look old enough to be a Grandma with my grey hair and i was carrying this big book, thus resulting in a lawsuit (and we don’t have any money), blood (from the wound on the other person), lots of people shouting and falling on me because the bus was so crowded, and my bad back. I could get Workman’s comp and sue the bus company and stay home then while I recovered and read Shakespeare while my kind husband runs to buy me chocolate. H-m-m, thank you, Bloglily!! Great idea!! 🙂
    side note to bad boys: bad boys can always give their seats up to women (and not just to skinny blondes in their 20s, the rest of us women have feelings too!), this is so currently uncool that it could start a trend again, and bad boys like nothing better than a trend to start!!!
    side note to bloglily: so men don’t give their seats in California either? I thought it was just Ottawa. Our buses are so crowded that someone fainted one summer morning (that was scary). And I no longer have redeeming thoughts on the bus. I usually fall asleep and have on occasion drooled. This does occasionally leave me with my own seat, though!!!

  9. Oh, shucks, why did you do that? Romeo and Juliet really die?
    But seriously, I agree completely. And it really isn’t that hard to read Shakespeare with a bit of speed. Once you get used to the language (which isn’t that hard I think, just treat like a kind of dialect) it’s no problem.
    May I add one piece of advice? Once you notice that most of it rhymes, immediately ignore that. Don’t try to read it as if it were a poem, because it isn’t. I’d give the same advice to readers of epic poetry. “Pan Tadeusz” becomes a great story as soon as you forget about the rhyme (and only when you get the right translation).
    In fact, I even read poetry as if it weren’t poetry, but that’s another story…
    Oh, and I’d get up for a lady reading Shakespeare any time!

  10. I couldn’t stop laughing at your internal dialog with un-chivalrous male train passenger. Last week a (female) friend and I were walking towards the last table in the sunny spot at our corner cafe. We arrived at the same time as two fellows. Instead of graciously offering us the table, one fellow jokingly says we can play stone-paper-scissors for the right to sit at the table. Which he and I did; to the acute amusement to the rest of the cafe guests.

    The fellow shot in “well”, which I didn’t know from my grade school stone-paper-scissors. So, the fellows triumphantly sat down. Since my friend and I aren’t ones to hold a grudge, we then asked the fellows if we could join them (there were still two unoccupied seats).

  11. Reading standing up on a bus or a train is a skill that one learns. Being polite and offering your seat to someone who needs it more is also learned. Why aren’t mothers teaching their young men to do this? Also on the list of things no longer taught: wearing hats in buildings.

    That said, I always had people (men and women) give up a seat for me when I was in a walking cast. Maybe politeness is not dead! But I hope nobody gives up a seat to you because they see reading Shakespeare as a handicap! That would be so sad.

  12. Bwaaaahaahaaaa.

    I would have given up my seat.

    I find the best way to read Shakespeare is all alone in a house so you can say everything out loud. People could be in the house if you are not easily embarrassed. I can’t even have the dog watch me.

  13. In England when I went to school, Shakespeare in every form was a must.I am very grateful to my teacher of English Literatur. We spent more time studying the play than we did reading it,and only then were we allowed to see one.I still love Shakespeare and if I were washed up on a deserted island and could have only one book I would have a hard time choosing between his complete works and the Bible.
    Have women brought it upon themselves that the days of chivalry towards us have gone.I seem to get by quite well by playing helpless,men can’t resist having the upper hand. Shakespeare was definately the wrong book to be reading.

  14. Let’s see – I’m so with you on the summary reading! Essential, especially if you’re off to actually see a production.

    Jane Austen at one page a day!? That’s so endearing. It must be love – true love (sorry – Dudelet has a passion for Enchanted at the moment which is charming in a 4yo boy otherwise devoted to Spiderman).

    Train etiquette – now that’s a complex matter in London. Basically, if you’re pregnant (and generally being ignored by the healthy young woman you’re standing directly in front of), you’ve got my seat. Even if I have to yell the length of the carriage. In fact, you’ve militantly got my seat. No-one stands up for people who are pregnant on the Tube and I won’t have it! Likewise if you’re old and unsteady, in a cast, with a small child…Where I start to get uneasy is who else I do and don’t offer my seat. Women my own age? Younger women in trainers carrying gym bags? Not likely! And worse – the occasions when <I’ve been offered an empty seat by someone younger who’s got there first. It’s wonderful that manners exist but…Seriously, I agonize about this…

    Oh it’s complicated…

  15. I just found this blog by chance, when logging into my WordPress account, and I’m amazed by your writing. Your sense of humor is great and the content of your posts, quite interesting. 🙂 I’m gonna try to make some time to read more of your posts and to continue to visit your blog from now on, cause I think it’s really worth it. 🙂

    As for Shakespeare, I agree with all of your points, even though I haven’t tried reading it while commuting to work/school. xD Mainly, because I work from my home, so I don’t really have to go anywhere anymore. ^_^U

    Anyway, thanks for posting such interesting stuff. 🙂 I’ll be sure to come back some other day. 🙂 I added you to my blogroll. 😉

    Best regards and nice to meet you~

  16. Oh, you just reminded me that ages ago I wanted to write a whole post over on What We Said about “being gentlemanly.” Although, you’ve done such a nice job here, maybe I don’t need to do it.

  17. Nice post. I’ve read so many works with my kids and husband from Coleridge, their favorite, to Shakespeare. Good times.

    I just did my first post on sonnet 130 at paisleyandplaid. It brought back a lot of memories of introducing Shakespeare to English students.

  18. Hilarious! I love the bit about reading fast enough that you don’t forget what happened at the beginning. Husbands have extraordinary capacities sometimes, and I say husbands because you have to be married to someone a while before they start creeping out of the woodwork. Mine used to have a talent for preceding me through swing doors and letting them slap back in my face (actually this became clear quite early on). He was not brought up in a chivalrous environment when young. He does much better now and I wholeheartedly agree that men with manners are utterly irresistible. If you happen to be in the vicinity of the young male seat hogger again, drop the book on his head.

  19. Oh, move to Pittsburgh! I’ve been given a seat by so many charming young college students it’s almost making me feel old, or perhaps that I look pregnant. Seriously, the manners on some of the young men are astounding.

    I have another piece of advice on reading shakespeare – read it aloud! Even if you are by yourself (of course, perhaps not on the train) – I love reading shakespeare aloud. My dad once told me to follow the grammatical structure like I would any book and not get tripped up by the stanzas and verse, so for instance to pause when there is a comma, stop when there is a period, etc – read them as sentences. This was advice for me when I was very young but it might be applicable to any new reader of Shakespeare.

  20. LOL, I sound like my grandmother, I know, but “what’s up with this generation?” I’m of the female persuasion and I give up my seat whenever I see someone who obviously needs the seat more than I do. And I love to read Shakespeare aloud. My strategy is usually to try to see a play before reading it, if at all possible, even if that means renting a movie version of it. Gotta hear it aloud!

  21. This makes me feel like reading more Shakespeare and riding more trains. I hope the reading woman, and the charming young man make it into a novel.

  22. I think you’re going to need to lock your sons up and never let them out of the house. Girls will be chasing them, because they’re learning how to be polite, considerate and – yeowza! – chivalrous. The situation will be made worse when the girls’ parents will find out what charmers live in the casa de Bloglily.

  23. Hello! Your site was highly recommended by a very good friend. I have poured over many of your recent posts and I can see why she loved coming here! I see I am late to respond to this post which was very fun to read. I look forward to part 2 (and I am trying to guess where you will go with the “for profit” part). Happy Shakespeare’s birthday to you! TJ

Geo Thermal Subdivisions?

The cities of the future can save millions of dollars in their designs. When designing a new subdivision, each subdivision would have a park. Under the park the GEO thermos field would be buried. Each home  would hook up their heating system to the shared GEO field. The homes would only have to worry about heating their homes from 55 degrees to a comfortable temp. This could save the Midwest millions of dollars used each year for heating their homes. There are subdivisions trying this technology in Arizona.

Black Water Filtration Systems Could Be A Part Of The Hybrid Home Future

If you live in a urban area, chances are you are hooked up to the sewage purification system of your town. If you live in the USA and in the country, you may have a primitive septic tank or some sort of mound system. These systems strive to clear the water up before it enters into the local aquifer. During the 1980's under the Reagan administration, the Great Lakes and USA Shorelines Cleanup Initiative was De-funded. The effort was to have cities along shorelines restructure there sewer systems to handle the growth of the cities. Because improvements were not made to municipal sewage systems, when it rains over 1/4 inch many cities are forced to release excess raw sewage into water ways. Link to SAFE WATER Report that explains the extreme need for future change. The amount of overflow depends on the individual cities attempts to overcome this. Link to the the old way to get rid of black water in the USA non-urban areas.

As water becomes more valuable because of scarcity, the purification of water will become even more important. New technologies can be large efforts that urban areas are trying, to smaller individual home or building units. All units have to go through a series of processes to make the water usable again. Here is a detailed article on this process: Black Water Purification.

I would think that future waste transportation systems will use other methods to carry waste away. Maybe instead of a garbage disposal system in sinks, the waste material would be carried away by augers or  pressure to transport the waste to a composting container. The future homes will have to use ideology of aviation and space programs that have self-sustaining contained water/ sewage systems. Maybe chemicals and pharmaceuticals will need to use 50% less water to apply or transport the product to its needed function. Maybe the solids from the black water could be separated and burned for another home energy or heating source. Link to waste energy study.

European homes are already using in home black water /purification units. Public rest rooms can be built and not hooked to the grid. This may not mean much at first glance, however hooking to the grid costs all taxpayers over decades of use. Not to mention the actual cost  to hook the unit to the grid. Like cars that verge several different energy supply sources and different methods to achieve the transportation need, homes will have to become more complex as well. Smart homes will be equipped with sensors in the waste plumbing to determine matter density and decide to dispose or direct it in a manner most effective to achieve efficient process for water purification and/or usage . Link to Hybrid Homes

  1. Water purification is Australias premier manufacturer of filtered boiling and chilled water units for use in private and commercial applications. Manufactured in Victoria and represented nationally.

  2. Awe-inspiring bequest! Your blog is attention-grabbing. I feel affection for it.

I'm always excited to hear and see your ideas. Together we will build a better world.

17-year old CEO is working towards eliminating homelessness in Canada

At just 17, David Qiu is taking major actions to change the world. He is the CEO of Castlestone – an initiative aimed at caring for the homeless and eliminating poverty. This initiative started in Ottawa and has spread to different provinces and even to France. David Qiu is also working towards creating a Vision Shelter that will accommodate the homeless and prepare them to create a better life for themselves, through business training. Read my interview with David Qiu below and be inspired:

Tell us a little about yourself

I am David Qiu and I am the CEO and Founder of Castlestone. It is a developing non-profit organization that works in eliminating poverty here in Ottawa in which it originated and we are now multiplying towards New Brunswick and Toronto. And now going multinational towards France.

Motivation to start Castlestone

How I started was back when I was in Grade 9 when I was around 14, 15. My church and I went up North to a Cree reserve to host a teens camp. My church and I went to Oujé-Bougoumou. It’s a Northern Cree reserve in Quebec. I saw conditions up there which really convicted me. I told myself I need to make a change because the place I went to was like being in a 3rd-world country (Correction – developing/underdeveloped country) in a 1st world country which is interesting if you think about it. I met random people. The random people that meet you and that you know are the ones that can help you to become who you are today and without them I wouldn’t be here. I only started with 4 people and now we are 85, multiplying towards provinces.

About Castlestone

What we want to do is have youth connect with the homeless and take action now. When we could get a lot of youth together and just take action on social justices, we are going to be able to eliminate poverty because we can. Like I feel that the greatest poverty, what poverty really is, is being uncared for and unloved and alienated from society. We are here to change that and to become their friend. Just like my idea with Vision Shelter, the idea is fellowship. People in the streets deserve to be cared for not alienated from society. They are human too.

About Vision Shelter and how it will prepare the homeless to make a living for themselves

A farmer and his crew of farmers wanted to teach agriculture to those who would want to partake. We used to have cooks and other trade people who wanted to teach the homeless and get them back on the street through these trades and survival techniques. And there’s of course, psychological issues. We did have psychologists and psychiatrists who wanted to volunteer. Back then, when I created this idea of having a Vision Shelter, back in August which was a year ago, I said this place would impact a change. Everyone would go in there because it’s like a community centre and you can live in it and you can learn how to go back into society, quickly.

The biggest challenges I’ve faced are financial issues – funding for it and having people tell me you need to do this and that. We are constantly handing out care packages to those on the street, every week. Sometimes, we cancel because of financial issues, since not most of us have a job – we are going to university and in grade 12. We pitch in money together and make these things called care packages which are hygiene stuff, coffee or used clothing. We just put them together and give them to the homeless and interview them – become their friend.

Where do you meet at to give out the care packages?

We have our meetings and meet for care packages usually at the World Exchange Plaza which is on Metcalfe (Ottawa). It is right in front of Parliament Hill. We usually target Metcalfe, Rideau Street and King Edward (Avenue) and Byward market which is where most of them are.

When do you plan to have Castlestone registered?

On October 5th (2015). On my birthday.

How can people contact you?

Cheapest place to buy milk around Catonsville

The cheapest whole milk gallon I’ve found is the GV brand for $2.71 at the Catonsville Wal-Mart.  (In general, though, the Ellicott City Wal-Mart is more likely to have items in stock.)  If, like me, you don’t always need to purchase a gallon, I purchased a half gallon for $1.64 a couple days back.  I did a double take; that’s the cheapest I’ve seen for a half gallon in a long time.

Walmart price for half gallon of milk

Walmart price for half gallon of milk

Other good deals: Fat Free (Skim) milk at Rite Aid (Security Blvd and Rolling Road) goes for $2.99. The Pikesville Trader Joe’s has whole milk gallons for $3.19.  I’ll record prices at Aldi’s and Wegman’s in the future.  (Table with updated prices below.)

I find it odd that some places charge less for Skim/1%/2% (how it should be) — like Rite Aid and Wegmans — while others charge the same for all the milk types — like Trader Joe’s and Wal-Mart.  Of course, this post is just about the lowest price, not about quality.

Store Type Price Date
Wal-Mart All Gallon 2.71 2/20/16
All 1/2 Gallon 1.64 2/20/16
Trader Joe’s All Gallon 3.19 2/20/16
Rite Aid (Security Blvd) Skim/FF Gallon 2.99 2/20/16
Wegman’s (Hunt Valley) Skim/FF Gallon 2.54 2/28/16
Whole Gallon 2.77 2/28/16

    The Chargers have run off some key players this offseason, which leads to a question: Just who is the Chargers' leader.

    LaDainian Tomlinson is gone. Jamal Williams is out the door. Even Kassim Osgood, a special-teams demon, has exited.

    "There is a void, and we have guys who are capable of stepping up," coach Norv Turner said. "Antonio Gates, obviously Philip Rivers, Vincent Jackson."

    But Gates, while one of the best to ever play his position, is soft-spoken.

    Rivers is an obvious one, and he has the vocal skills to fire up his teammates.

    Jackson? He's another quiet guy, and with all his off-field problems, it's not clear he could be the go-to guy.

    But Turner has been around long enough in enough different places that he's confident someone will step forward.

    "That's a process that you go through in this league and I've gone through it many times," said Turner, who is in his third head-coaching stint. "We've got to get a young guy in and get him going in terms of playing that position, but we've got some great leaders who I think can help our younger players."

    He's probably right. And to be clear, Tomlinson wasn't a big soap-box guy, which likely made him more effective. Instead of some players who talk basically because they like to hear themselves speak, Tomlinson would pick his spots.

    When he did talk, teammates listened. But that voice now resides with the New York Jets.

    Turner said losing Tomlinson is more a reflection on the NFL landscape than anything else.

    "This league is about change, and adapting to the different situations you're put in," Turner said. "We know we need to go find a runner.

    "We want to run the ball, we want to have a balanced offense, that's one of our priorities, and obviously at this point, most of that will happen through the draft."

    But drafting someone who can come in and immediately command the respect of veterans is a long shot. So that means the Chargers' leader is likely already wearing one of their uniforms.

    Shawne Merriman, on the defensive side, can lead. Same goes with inside linebacker Stephen Cooper. Quentin Jammer is another possibility but he's a not a big talker.

    So while the talk has been about the exiting players' production which will be missed, don't overlook their contributions in the locker room.

    That's another part of the Chargers which needs shored up for 2010.

    "We have a resilient group," Turner added. "We've probably got 10 guys over the past three years that have overcome what could have been career threatening injuries. Some of them have gotten great notoriety - Shawne Merriman coming off knee surgery, Philip Rivers playing in that championship game with the knee and then having surgery two days later, Antonio Gates, what he's done coming off that toe surgery.

    "So we have a resilient group, and our group has been pounding on that door, and we've been pounding hard on that door, and our next step obviously is to go knock that door down, and that's what we're going to get ready to do in the off-season."

    On the heels of finishing near the bottom in every significant running category, the Chargers cut LaDainian Tomlinson and Michael Bennett.

    So with the draft drawing near, many believe the Chargers will reach for a running back with either their first pick at 28th or at No. 40 in the second round.

    Or, do the Chargers go after a defensive tackle with three-time Pro Bowler Jamal Williams ending up in Denver.

    "We had some young guys really step up and come through for us," coach Norv Turner said, discounting the Chargers' need at Williams' old spot. "Our defensive line, I think, early in the year, was an area that people looked at as a weakness and I think became a strength for us at the end of the season. So we're not in a position where we have to do something, but again, if we can add a player, that would be great."

    With Turner turning attention away from defensive tackle - and with it being this time of year - it probably means that's where the Chargers will address that shortcoming first.

    Still, it's hard to ignore the thin depth chart at running back, which currently shows Darren Sproles, Mike Tolbert and Jacob Hester.

    That's why Turner could be shooting straight when emphasizing the requirement to take care of that position in the draft.

    "I've had limited exposure, but you see him enough to know that C.J. Spiller is just dynamite. He does it all, the return game, the explosiveness, the perimeter running. He's an exciting player. He's probably a little bit like (Jahvid) Best at Cal, similar style. Like Joe McKnight at (USC)."

    But Spillman figures to be long gone when the Chargers are on the clock. So the Chargers will likely have to settle on someone else.

    Anyone for Stanford's Toby Gerhart?

    "Gerhart is a lot more explosive player than I think people realize because he's very, very physical," Turner said.

    And in that vein, with the shifty Sproles already on hand, could the Chargers go for a bruiser instead of burst?

    "I think people look at it and say, `Hey, with Sproles they can offset that.' But we just want the best back. We're going to adjust to what he does. It's a physical game."

    But the Chargers have made the noise more with a finesse approach by leaning on the passing game and the arm of quarterback Philip Rivers.

    While that works, too, at some point the Chargers have to assemble the resemblance of a running game, which could lead general manager A. J. Smith toward a backfield addition.

    Right coach Turner?

    "I don't think you ever say exactly what you're going to do," he said. "But I'm going to be tugging on A.J.'s shirt trying to encourage him to."

    -The Chargers are giving no hints that they have given up on Pro Bowl kicker Nate Kaeding, despite his lack of success in playoff games. "I think the biggest thing for Nate is what he's accomplished," coach Norv Turner said. "You go kick 69 straight inside of 40 yards, obviously the ability is there, the mentality is there. He's capable of doing all the things we need him to do. I think he's a great example for our entire team. That last game was a disappointment, but all of us need to bounce back, and I have no doubts about Nate. If we were going to line up and kick one right now, I'm very comfortable and confident he'd make it."

    -By replacing starting RT Jeromey Clary in the season's second half, Brandyn Dombrowski earned an additional $254,552 in performance base pay for last season.

    -The Chargers were awarded a fifth-round compensatory pick after losing free agents Igor Olshansky and Mike Goff last season. It will be the 168th overall selection.

    -WR Demetrius Byrd, a seventh-round pick last year despite being injured in a car accident prior to the draft, was released.

    -Thanks for the memories: A LaDainian Tomlinson vintage T-shirt, which once sold for $39.99 can be had for $4.96 through the team's on-line pro shop.

    -The team will start its offseason weight-lifting sessions on March 29.

    QUOTE TO NOTE: "I think when you have a game like that, one or two things happen. Guys have a tough time coming back from it, or it makes you stronger. I think our guys have a mind-set that it's going to make them stronger and make them more determined." - Coach Norv Turner on how he anticipates his players will respond after their playoff face-plant against the Jets.

    All attention is being turned to the draft, and the Chargers are feeling better about it after moving quarterback Charlie Whitehurst.

    By peddling him to the Seahawks, the Chargers' booty included moving up 20 spots in the second round by switching places with the Seahawks. They will also receive Seattle's third-round pick in 2011.

    The Chargers seldom do much in free agency and that doesn't seem likely to change this year. To date, the Chargers don't have any significant signings in their past or future.

    That could change after the draft if the Chargers can't fill some needs. But don't count on it.

    1. Running back: The Chargers move the ball through the air. But someone has to be behind Philip Rivers and currently there's not much there. The removal of LaDainian Tomlinson and Michael Bennett from the roster means this need leaps off the Chargers' offseason page. The Chargers have the dynamic Darren Sproles, but he's more of a situational back than one to be counted on for yards between the tackles.

    2. Defensive tackle: The Chargers were tardy in finding a replacement for Jamal Williams, a three-time Pro Bowler who has been breaking down in recent seasons. The Chargers now need to move fast, unless they want to spend another season plugging the defense's biggest hole in the middle with a collection of journeyman players. Ryon Bingham, Williams' backup, should return. But he doesn't have the girth and mass that Williams displayed.

    3. Cornerback: The Chargers once bragged this was among the team's deepest position. But they grew tired of babysitting the talented but immature Antonio Cromartie and shipped the Pro Bowler to the Jets. There are some bodies behind Cromartie, but can any of them separate themselves to prove they are up to taking Cromartie's spot?

    MEDICAL WATCH: No updates.

    -C Dennis Norman is at a spot where the team has depth and likely won't come back.

    -OL Jon Runyan is going to retire and run for Congress.

    UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENTS (not tendered offers)

    -*C Eric Ghiaciuc (not tendered as RFA) won't have a place with the number of linemen - when healthy - ahead of him.

    -*OLB Marques Harris (not tendered as RFA) is a decent pass rusher but the Chargers will likely see him go where he would get more of a chance to contribute.

    -*LB Dontarrious Thomas (not tendered as RFA) seldom saw the field when arriving late last year and appears to be a goner.

    RESTRICTED FREE AGENTS (*indicates restricted because of uncapped year)

    -RT Jeromey Clary (tendered at $1.684M with second-round pick as compensation) will return but will be pushed by Brandyn Dombrowski for a starting job.

    -*ILB Tim Dobbins (tendered at $1.176M with fifth-round pick as compensation) is a solid backup after getting lapped by Brandon Siler; should return.

    -*WR Malcom Floyd (tendered at $3.168M with first- and third-round picks as compensation) could likely get more passes thrown his way elsewhere, but he likes San Diego and will likely take a little less to remain here.

    -*WR Vincent Jackson (tendered at $3.268M with first- and third-round picks as compensation) is the team's top receiver and will be brought back - unless the team has grown tired of his immaturity; that's doubtful after two 1,000-yard seasons.

    -*DL Travis Johnson (tendered at $1.226M with first-round pick as compensation) will probably have to settle for less money, but the former first-round pick of the Texans might have found a home in San Diego.

    -*LT Marcus McNeill (tendered at $3.168M with first- and third-round picks as compensation) is a stud at left tackle and among the team's biggest offseason priorities.

    -*OLB Shawne Merriman (tendered at $3.168M with first- and third-round picks as compensation) will return, possibly, if willing to swallow his pride and lower his price tag. A motivated Merriman playing on a one-year deal could be attractive to the Chargers.

    -*RB Darren Sproles (tendered at $7.283M with first- and third-round picks as compensation) was tendered after it was first thought the Chargers would let him go.

    -OLB Antwan Applewhite (tendered at $470,000) can deliver a burst off the ball and is keen on special teams. He should be brought back.

    -FB Mike Tolbert (tendered at $470,000) continues to improve and the Chargers could give him more carries in the base offense, depending on the situation at running back.

    -DT Alfonso Boone: UFA; 2 yrs, terms unknown.

    -*DT Antonio Garay: Not tendered as RFA; terms unknown.

    -DT Ian Scott: UFA; 1 yr, terms unknown.

    -TE Kris Wilson: UFA; 2 yrs, terms unknown.

    -RB Marcus Mason (waivers Redskins).

    -CB Donald Strickland: FA Jets; 2 yrs, terms unknown

    -RB Michael Bennett (released).

    -WR Demetrius Byrd (released/non-football injury).

    -CB Antonio Cromartie (traded Jets).

    -TE Brandon Manumaleuna: UFA Bears; $15M/5 yrs, $$2M SB/$3M RB.

    -WR Kassim Osgood: UFA Jaguars; $6.675M/3 yrs, $2.975M guaranteed.

    -RB LaDainian Tomlinson (released).

    -*QB Charlie Whitehurst: RFA; (tendered at $1.176M with third-round pick as compensation); re-signed, traded to Seahawks.

    -NT Jamal Williams (released).

Obama's Advisers and Academia Push High Taxes and the Collective

  The appearance of engaging the middle class is a Saul Alinsky tactic and a campaign promise, not a reality for Barack Obama and the new left or the middle class. Collectivism, globalism and punitive taxes on the 'wealthy' is the plan. Alinsky argues a bottom up change, Hillary Clinton's 'thesis' says that only a big government can bring about change or top-down. Anthony Van Jones says all of the above. 50 Shades of RED.

In one of his sharpest passages, Mr. Alinsky tells his readers, living in their “radicalized dream world,” not to ignore the lower-middle class:
They are a fearful people, who feel threatened from all sides: the nightmare of pending retirement and old age with a Social Security decimated by inflation; the shadow of unemployment from a slumping economy, with blacks, already fearsome because the cultures conflict, threatening job competition; the high cost of long-term illness; and finally with mortgages outstanding, they dread the possibility of property devaluation from non-whites moving into the neighborhood. ...Remember that even if you cannot win over the lower middle-class, at least parts of them must be persuaded to where there is at least communication, then to a series of partial agreements and a willingness to abstain from hard opposition as changes takes place. Word for Word | Saul Alinsky
Barack Obaam TEACHES Saul Alinsky

 "Organization for action will now and in the decade ahead center upon America's white middle class.  That is where the power is.  When more than three-fourths of our people from both the point of view of economics and of their self-identification are middle class, it is obvious that their action or inaction will determine the direction of change.  Large parts of the middle class, the 'silent majority,' must be activated..."
"The middle classes are numb, bewildered, scared into silence.  They don't know what, if anything, they can do.  This is the job for today's radical--to fan the embers of hopelessness into a flame to fight.Thoughts on Saul Alinsky and the Present

A little background of community organizing puts this phony talk of helping the middle-class in perspective. Just more predictable soundbites of class war and redistribution of wealth.

Chairman Alan Krueger Discusses Reversing the Middle-Class Jobs Deficit

At 9:15 EDT on Thursday, April 26, 2012, President Obama’s Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, Alan B. Krueger delivered remarks on “Reversing the Middle-Class Jobs Deficit” at the Columbia University in New York City, New York.
In his prepared remarks, Chairman Krueger said:
I will address problems in the U.S. labor market and President Obama’s blueprint to fix them.  My theme is that it will take a concerted national effort to reverse the problems that have been building in the job market for decades, and, although much more work needs to be done; we have made progress in the last few years.
Krueger added that:
The United States has considerable strengths that should help us to reverse the middle-class jobs deficit.  It is imperative for policymakers to develop and promote these strengths to create an expanding middle class and provide more opportunity for more young people, regardless of their family backgrounds.  As President Obama has stressed, this is the defining issue of our times. We face a critical moment in which we can pursue a path that leads to a more durable economy and growing opportunities for all Americans, or we can return to the policies that eroded the middle class and tilted an ever-increasing share of income into the hands of a fortunate few, who were allowed to play by their own rules.
 The fact the Democrats deregulated and crashed housing and the economy won't merit a mention?
 Derivatives, Deregulation and Democrats

Now the worlds longest seminar at Columbia

Watch live streaming video from columbiaalumniassociation at livestream.com

Around the 2 hour 25 min  mark, Jeffrey Sachs says of his favorite euro-socialist countries "They live like a society, rather than a group of individuals" Not much further than that, he explains, high taxes make you happy and the United State's LOW TAXES make us sad. The video is ridiculously long, but the leftist logic on display is interesting in small doses. The agenda and arguments have been the same from the leftists for more than a century, the current propaganda more professional and prolific.
Leftists WILL NEVER admit that it is a spending problem and not revenue.

Rousseff Appeals to Senators Before Brazil Impeachment Trial

Anna Edgerton – Bloomberg, 08/16/2016

Dilma Rousseff appealed to Brazilian voters and legislators less than 10 days before her impeachment trial starts in the Senate, pledging to hold a plebiscite on new elections if she survives in office.

Rousseff presented her case in a four-page letter to the Brazilian people and Senate on Tuesday, reading the text to reporters in Brasilia without taking any questions. She was flanked by some of her former ministers.

 “The solution to the political and economic crisis we face is through the popular vote,” she said. “Democracy is the only way to build a partnership for national unity.”

Brazil’s Senate Votes to Move Ahead with Dilma Rousseff’s Trial

Vinod Sreeharsha – The New York Times, 08/10/2016

RIO DE JANEIRO — Brazil’s Senate voted in the early hours of Wednesday to push forward with the impeachment trial of Dilma Rousseff, the president who was suspended in May, an important step that could result in her final removal from office.

The trial in the Senate, which will be overseen by the chief justice of the Supreme Court, is expected to take place this month. After hours of debate in the capital, Brasília, senators voted 59 to 21 to indict her on charges of budgetary manipulation, formally making her a defendant.

 Although only a simple majority was needed in Wednesday’s vote, the number of senators that went against Ms. Rousseff exceeded the two-thirds that would be needed to oust her permanently when a final vote is held after the trial ends.

Brazil deploying troops, barricades before impeachment votes

Raymond Colitt and Arnaldo Galvao – The Chicago Tribune, 04/11/2016

Brazilian security forces are deploying thousands of troops and erecting barricades in the capital city of Brasilia this week to prevent violent clashes as Congress holds key votes on the impeachment of President Dilma Rousseff.

The city’s rare state of alert reflects concern that the country’s polarized political climate will reach a fever pitch in coming days. Authorities on Sunday enlisted the help of inmates from a nearby prison to set up metal barriers that will separate the hundreds of thousands of Brazilians who are expected to demonstrate for and against the president’s ouster.

Protesters already are converging on Brasilia as the nation’s drawn-out political crisis moves into a decisive phase, with a special committee in the lower house scheduled to vote on Monday whether to move forward with the impeachment request against Rousseff. The full house could vote as early as April 17, either squelching impeachment or setting the stage for Rousseff’s ouster in the Senate.

Israel changes tack over ambassador after standoff with Brazil

Isable Kershner – The New York Times, 03/28/2016

JERUSALEM — Israel pulled back on Monday after a monthslong diplomatic standoff with Brazil over plans to install a former settler leader as its ambassador there, reassigning him to a post in the United States after the government in Brasília refused to approve his appointment.

The office of Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, issued a brief statement saying that he had decided to appoint the former settler leader, Dani Dayan, as consul general in New York.

“He will replace Foreign Ministry career official Ido Aharoni, who is completing his term,” the statement said. Officials in the prime minister’s office and in the Foreign Ministry declined to make any additional public comments.

Why Brazil still hasn’t approved Israel’s ambassador pick

Ruth Eglash and Dom Phillips – The Washington Post, 01/09/2016

Israel and Brazil are locked in a rather undiplomatic standoff over the appointment of a new Israeli ambassador to the Latin American country. Tensions began in September when Israel presented credentials for Dani Dayan, selected for the post by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Usually, it takes just weeks for a country to approve a new ambassador, but Israel is still waiting.

The holdup?

Dayan is the former head of the Yesha Council, a representative body of Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank. Most countries, including Brazil, view the settlements as illegal and an impediment to the creation of a future Palestinian state. Israel disputes that. The United States calls the settlements “illegitimate.”

Brazil’s most costly soccer stadium may not host Olympic games

Anthony Boadle – Reuters, 10/27/2015

In the midst of Brazil’s deepening economic crisis, its cash-strapped capital may not have the money to fulfill a promise to host Olympic soccer games next year, leaving unused the most expensive stadium built for the 2014 World Cup.

The Rio 2016 organizing committee has given Brasilia until mid-November to sign a contract or be stripped of the seven games set to be held there next year, a spokesperson said.

Tickets for matches in Brasilia have already been on sale for months and it remains unclear how fans, many of whom may have bought flights and booked hotels, would be reimbursed.

Brazil truckers strike drags on as gov’t talks stall

Marcelo Teixeira and Reese Ewing – Reuters, 2/25/2015

Truckers who blocked roads in 10 Brazilian states in an eighth day of protests struggled to find a solution in talks with the government on Wednesday to end a strike that has disrupted food and fuel supplies.

Agriculture Minister Katia Abreu said after a meeting with truckers in Brasilia on Wednesday afternoon that she was confident both sides would reach agreement.

“(The protesters) are flexible and want to resolve the problem,” Abreu said, but she added the government would not give in to on the truckers’ main demands: lower diesel prices and fixed freight rates.

Dynamite Mussels and Scallops

May 9, 2011 § 1 Comment

If you are reading this on 5/8/11, then Happy Mothers Day!  This is a very popular and tasteful dish and accompanied the other food we have eaten for Mothers Day Dinner.  This recipe is quite easy and quick to make and some of you may already know how to make this!  So let’s get started!

When ordering this at a restaurant, you will pay quite a bit!  This dish tends to have high consistent demand.  I also noticed that the supply and prices of mussels are not extremely cyclical!  Restaurants make high margins on this food, and I don’t blame them!

This Dynamite sauce can also be used with scallops (which I use in this write-up) and also with oysters (which I did not use in this write-up).  Both of these are usually more expensive than mussels, but very tasty in it’s own right.

For all of the mussels in this recipe, I paid about 5 dollars.  That’s about the price I paid for just 2 mussels the last time I ordered this at a restaurant!

What you will Need

Mayonnaise (or Kewpie mayonnaise)

Shiracha Sauce

Green Onions (Optional)

Masago (Optional)

Mussels (Half shelled)

Scallops (Optional)

First Prep your pans

(Optional) Soak your mussels in salt water to clean them.  I did them here because I bought unprepped full shell mussels that I had to clean and shell and needed the water for them to open their shells so I can remove half of the shell.  It is much easier if you bought half shell mussels to start of with.

Put about a cup of mayonnaise in a bowl.

Now put about a spoonful of shiracha sauce in with the mayo and mix them well.

I know that I did not quantify nicely, but it depends on how much mussels and scallops you are making, and also the ratio of mayonnaise to shiracha you want.  It is something you will have to “feel” out.  If you are unsure, use the pictures above, they were enough for 20 mussels and 13 scallops.  Adjust accordingly then.

The mix you just made is the dynamite sauce!  Easy right?

Now spread the dynamite sauce on the musells.  I find it easier to use my fingers to spread the sauce on mussels.

Next do the same for the scallops.  I find it easier to use a spoon to put the dynamite sauce on the scallops.

Place them on a pan.  If you are using green onions or masago, then place them onto the dynamite sauce on the Mussels and scallops.  For this write-up I just used green onion, as Masago was quite expensive at this time.

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees farenheight.

Put your mussels and scallops into the pan.

Put them into the oven and bake them for about 15-20 minutes.

Everyones ovens are different and distribute and calibrate heat slightly different.

If you are unsure if your food is done, than check to see if the dynamite sauce has turned a golden brown, if it has, than it is done!

When done serve hot and enjoy!

tool stream_details

Images of eroded rock samples taken at intervals along two downstream transects of similar length are joined into a two-sided accordion pattern that changes content according to viewing angle, The first, a 60 meter archeological transect, traverses the core collection of Paleolithic stone tools at the Musée de Préhistoire des Gorges du Verdon in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence region of Southern France

 Displayed in chronological order along a curvilinear museum walkway, the collection highlights artifacts found at the nearby Bonne Baume cave site during a 300,000 year period from the Middle Paleolithic to the beginnings of the Neolithic 10,000 BP.

prehist plan.jpg

Cognitive erosion moving down the stream of time from oldest to youngest tool artifacts. Moving left to right:  Acheulean biface hand axe (end of Lower Paleolithic 400,000 - 300,000 years BP), Acheulean hand axe, Levallois point and Levallois blade (Middle Paleolithic 300,000 - 45,000 years BP),  Aréneinne point (Upper Paleolithic 45 - 10,000 years BP). In the progression, rounded "pebble tools" gradually erode into angular, sharp edged points and scrapers.

A reverse progression is found in the eroded rocks of the second transect, a 70 meter path through the Port Pin Valley at the mouth of the Port Pin calanque on the coastline of southern Provence. .

20,000 years ago, in a period when the Mediterranean Sea was 120 meters lower than it's current level, large rivers fed by melting glaciers cut deep gorges in the karst coastal terrain. In the current era, Port Pin survives as a small remnant gorge, connected inland to a convergence of dry valleys and ravines.

Rock samples in the Port Pin Valley transect, left to right:  angular, sharp-edged rockfall from the surrounding slopes are characteristic of the upper section of the old streamed.  As the valley opens into the beach at the mouth of the Port Pin, the sharp talus fragments are progressively rounded into smooth-edged pebbles by the action of the Mediterranean sea,

 Paleolithic to the present: night headlights outline a stream of 100 ton trucks transporting eroded rock from the Pirquitas open pit silver mine in the Jujuy province of northern Argentina. The mine, currently over 600 meters deep, opened in 2009 and extracts close to 50,000 tons of ore per day.

Services for deaf Ontarians limited as Canadian Hearing Society begins strike

Services for deaf Ontarians limited as Canadian Hearing Society begins strike

Canadian Hearing Society employees, including those in Windsor, walked off the job Sunday night as efforts to arrange their first collective agreement in four years broke down.

Employees at 21 locations across Ontario are bargaining for better wages and to stop proposed changes to their sick leave, according to CUPE national spokesperson Barbara Wilker-Frey.

The offices in Windsor and London remain open, but are being run by management staff. Limited services are available on site.

The union represents 227 frontline workers who serve about 36,000 people every year. Wilker-Frey said many employees know firsthand how tough a strike will be on those who rely on the society for its various services.

"It was a  really difficult decision for the local to decide to go out on strike because many of our members are part of that very same community and use the very same services that they offer to the wider community," she explained.

In a written statement, a spokesperson for the CHS said the people the organization serves are "at the heart" of every decision they make.

"We are disappointed that the union has chosen to strike and we will continue to work to get them back to the bargaining table," said CHS vice-president Gary Malkowski. "In light of CUPE's decision to strike, our focus right now is to provide our clients with the best possible care and service under these disappointing circumstances."

The Canadian Hearing Society offers emergency translation for legal matters and healthcare, but those services will be severely cut back while the strike is ongoing.

Wilker-Frey said the union has not heard from the society since the strike began, but added CUPE is ready to get back to bargaining as soon as possible.

Exclusive: Japan casinos would get Vegas-style regulator under legalization plan

TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan would establish an independent gaming regulator modeled on the authorities that police casinos in Las Vegas and Singapore under a draft plan to legalize gambling in a market seen as potentially the second-largest in the world.

The policy outline, which was prepared by Japanese lawmakers who favor casinos and reviewed by Reuters, outlines broad standards for licensing and regulating casino operators and their partners.

After more than a decade of lobbying by lawmakers, a bill to legalize casino gambling is seen as having a good chance of passing in the coming months with the business-friendly Liberal Democratic Party in power and after Tokyo -- a likely casino host -- won the bid to host the Summer Olympics in 2020.

MGM Resorts International, Las Vegas Sands Corp, Melco Crown Entertainment and Wynn Resorts Ltd are among the global operators that have shown interest in developing a casino resort in Japan.

Among the concerns lawmakers who favor legalizing casinos believe need to be addressed is what measures will be taken to keep out organized crime, known in Japan as the “yakuza.” To address those concerns, the draft plan calls for the creation of an agency that would have control over the issuing of licenses and the policing of gaming operations.

“The hurdles to enter the business should be set high. It should not be easy for anyone to get a license and participate in the industry,” the policy plan says. “With proper regulation and enforcement of the law, there is absolutely no reason for casinos to become hotbeds of criminal activity.”

Details of the draft plan have not previously been reported.

The plan also recommends stringent checks on the “suitability” of the people and businesses involved of the kind conducted by the Nevada Gaming Control Board. For example, directors and senior executives of licensees in Japan would be required to provide bank account, credit card, and tax records for themselves and their families going back 10 years.

As a further safeguard, the agency charged with policing casinos would be attached to the Cabinet and not part of any ministry. That is intended to prevent corruption and the “amakudari” practice of ministry officials retiring to cushy posts in the industry they once regulated, the draft plan says.

A group of lawmakers, including many from the ruling Liberal Democratic Party of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, plan to submit an initial bill to parliament by the end of this year. If it passes, possibly early next year, the government would have to come up with concrete regulations within two years to legalize some casino gambling.

That could mean the first casino resort would open in Japan by 2019, in time for the Olympics, lawmakers have said.

While the big global gaming operators have shown the most interest in the major urban hubs of Tokyo and Osaka, there are more than a dozen smaller cities and towns across Japan lobbying for the right to develop casino resorts.

According to the draft plan, a transparent bidding process should be established so that local governments would be on an equal footing with the big cities.

At the same time, the plan calls for a limit to be put on how many casinos would be allowed initially so that regulators can ensure that the new gambling resorts are being run properly.

U.S. urges citizens to avoid travel to Lebanon due to security concerns

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. State Department on Friday urged U.S. citizens to avoid all travel to Lebanon “because of ongoing safety and security concerns.”

It also advised U.S. citizens living and working in Lebanon that they should “understand that they accept the risks of remaining in the country and should carefully consider those risks.”

“Sudden outbreaks of violence can occur at any time in Lebanon, and armed clashes have occurred in major cities,” the State Department said in a statement, adding that the Lebanese government could not guarantee the safety of U.S. citizens there.

It cited cross-border conflicts with Syria and Israel, anti-Western violence, suicide bombers and kidnapping, among other risks.

EU lawmakers back blanket collection of airline passenger data

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Airlines will have to transfer passenger data such as seat numbers and payment information to law enforcement authorities for flights into and out of the European Union, under rules passed on Wednesday by EU lawmakers.

EU governments are anxious to prevent Europeans going to fight with Islamic State militants in Syria and Iraq, fearing they could carry out attacks in Europe when they return. They have long pushed for the sharing of airline passenger data.

But members of the European Parliament have resisted for two years, on the grounds that would infringe people’s privacy.

The Islamist attacks on French satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo in January pushed the issue up on the agenda, and on Wednesday members of the Civil Liberties Committee in the European Parliament voted for an amended version of the so-called “Passenger Name Record” proposal.

It will now be fine-tuned in negotiations with member states before becoming law.

“The emerging threat posed by so-called ‘foreign fighters’ has made this system even more essential,” said British Conservative MEP Timothy Kirkhope, who is spearheading the proposal.

The system would make airlines operating flights into and out of the EU - but not within the EU - hand over passenger data such as seat numbers, contact details, itineraries and payment information, to EU law enforcement authorities, who will comb through them to identify patterns of suspicious behavior.

Lawmakers narrowed the types of crimes for which the data can be used to terrorism offences and some types of serious transnational crime, such as people trafficking and child abduction.

The data would be “masked out” after 30 days to prevent the passenger being identified. It can then be held for up to five years for terrorism offences and four years for transnational crimes.

Liberals and Greens in the Parliament still condemned the proposal, saying blanket collection of data would do nothing to stop terrorists from entering the EU.

They had supported a targeted system of data collection which they say would have ensured a better balance between security and privacy, a debate that has heated up as Western governments have sought to counter the radicalization on the Internet.
