October 21-27, 2013 is International Open Access Week, a global collection of events dedicated to furthering Open Access (OA) to research and scholarly data. Open Access Week was created by SPARC©, the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition, which promotes open publishing and digital access to scholarly articles, open availability of data (or Open Data), as well as the creation of Open Educational Resources (OER). Open Access Week is in its 6th year and this year's theme is "Redefining Impact" with local OA groups hosting live events and streaming events from around the world. You can sign up to access the live streaming events or add your event to the OAW calendar. Open Access has a toolkit to help you get started.
What is the Open Access Movement?
1. Open Access is the "free, immediate availability of research articles". Anyone who has had the misfortune of seeing the "perfect" article for their paper locked away in a paid database will give three cheers (I'll give six!).
2. Open Data is a movement to encourage research data, particularly government research paid for by taxpayers, to be openly and freely available. The release of data will support other scholars and researchers, allowing best practices to be shared quickly.
3. Open Educational Resources (OER) are digital materials available to remix, revise, and reuse; these materials are either in the public domain or are under copyright but openly licensed, usually via a Creative Commons license. OER are, of course, near and dear to our hearts (check out our media library for proof).

Tightening grip on separatists
CSSNational Affairs 0
Amid tightening of screws on Kashmiri separatist Hurriyat leaders by the National Investigative Agency (NIA) on charges of terror funding, a section of Hurriyat leaders including All Parties Hurriyat Conference chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and JKLF head Yasin Malik reacted rather vehemently, stating that those arrested by the NIA for terror financing had no active involvement either in the 2016 uprising or in issuing the protest calendars.
Such defensive and faint arguments notwithstanding by the Hurriyat, NIA seems to be on a stronger wicket as it has done its homework well and the investigations carried out so far are scientific and rational.
Clarifying the reasons for sparing other separatist leaders like Syed Ali Shah Geelani and Mirwaiz Umer Farooq, NIA said investigations are still on and once the designated court consents on the request to proceed against them, action will be initiated. It may be recalled that NIA has charged Pakistan-based terrorists Hafiz Saeed and Salauddin along with ten of their accomplices for criminal conspiracy and related charges under the clauses of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.
NIA claims to be in possession of hard evidence, both material and technical, gathered during the course of investigations probing terror financing. As part of the enquiry, NIA had raided as many as 60 locations leading to procurement of allegedly incriminating documents. Above all, NIA has also named hardcore separatist leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani 's son in law, Altaf Ahmad Shah aka Funtoosh, Geelani 's personal aide, Bashir Ahmad Bhatt and businessman Zahoor Ahmad Shah Watali in the chargesheet.
Further, the NIA has accused Hurriyat leaders of acting under the overall direction of Hafiz Saeed and Salahuddin in collaboration with their Pakistani handlers, suspected to be ISI operatives. Communicating to the Hurriyat activists through " protest calendars" channelled through social media and ultra religious clerics, NIA perceived that such acts are not only detrimental to India's security interests, they were also designed to create an atmosphere of terror and fear in Jammu and Kashmir to destabilise the state.
Significantly, NIA strongly believes that the investigation based on scientific and oral evidence has established beyond doubt that for carrying out such terrorist and subversive activities, the accused persons were receiving funds from Pakistani agencies through hawala channels such as accused Zahoor Ahmad Shah Watali and others and also mobilising funds from LoC barter trade through under-invoicing and nefarious cash dealings. Investigation also suggests that money was routed through bogus companies floated abroad and remitted to the Hurriyat leaders.
It must be added that Hawala channels were exploited by many and to a larger measure by none other than Syed Salahuddin and Hafeez Saeed. In the meantime, confessional statements of one of the accused directly complicit in the terror fundings in Kashmir should help secure conviction. In other words, evidence is direct.
Statements recorded in many cases go to the extent of stating that funding of stone-pelters was done by separatists. One of the accused has agreed to be an approver. The case is likely to deal a severe blow to the Hurriyat Conference, other terror affiliates and Dukhtaran-e-Milat. Also it is bound to adversely affect their operations.
It is reliably known that bank officials in Kashmir are on a 24×7 watchlist and officials are keeping a tight vigil on deposits. Informal channels of funding Islamic Trusts and the like are again being discreetly pursued and watched. Delhi has been the hub of hawala transactions with a modus operandi that seems almost untraceable and hidden (kachcha bill and circulation of money).
Chats of stone-pelters, their exact locations during stone pelting and their accomplices from Pakistan in the group are important leads. Literature, pamphlets etc mentioning links and texts obtained from across the border are also part of the evidence.
With NIA tightening its noose around the Hurriyat leaders in terror funding, and vigorous pressure by the US on Pakistan to slash funding and dismantling of terror camps, the image of Pakistan has been further dented. The all round offensive unleashed by India to root out terror through decisive counter-terror operations and to isolate Pakistan with robust diplomacy appears to be paying off.

White Productions worked alongside Artichoke and Unusual Rigging to provide full technical and logistical support to create London's first ever Lumiere festival. Lumiere London transformed the city's streets and buildings with 30 spectacular light installations across King's Cross and Central London. On what is traditionally the quietest weekend of the year in the capital, over 1 million visitors attended the event across four evenings – accessing artwork and experiencing London in exciting, new ways.
With Gary as Technical Director, White Productions co-ordinated the full technical and logistical production of the main Sports Personality of the Year show in Belfast. By developing strong, trusting relationships with expert suppliers (from both Northern Ireland and England) and fostering a collaborative approach to the process we managed to create a tightly bonded international team that delivered an on-budget, ahead-of-schedule setting to a fabulous awards show.
The "Time To Lead" annual leadership conference served as a vital platform for launching the company's new managerial direction. We provided full production management including: design of impactful branding; creation of a microsite for effective delegate registration and pre- and post-event comms; and collaborative development of inspiring show content, look and feel.
With Gary White as Show Director, we worked in collaboration with Protec, the biggest event production company in the middle east, to produce a thrilling Opening Ceremony to IDEX 2015 from creative concept through to three-month build. The show created excitement for the exhibition and allowed the UAE Armed Forces to showcase their equipment and military skills in theatrical, spectacular fashion.


INTRODUCTION: As shared variously in the past years, right after the first visits, a thought came to mind that stayed until the end of my term and was confirmed along the way again and again: The world without religious congregations such as the Society of the Divine Word would be a much poorer place. And this is undoubtedly true for all countries where we are working. Today we come together to open our 18th General Chapter representing some 6,000 members of the Society of the Divine Word and many lay mission partners from around the world. We want to thank the Triune God for all that we can contribute to enrich this world in His name. At the same time, we continue to ask ourselves anew where we can be better rooted in his Word and committed to his mission, allowing the Love of Christ to impel us.
We begin our opening Eucharistic celebration in the name of the Triune God.
1. Today, at the opening of our 18th General Chapter we come together in thanksgiving bringing before the Triune God the joys, hopes and also sorrows of our confreres and partners in the missions from around the world. When asking our members for a chapter theme, the majority felt the need for a spiritual renewal that would bring us back to the Divine Word as the source of our inspiration and commitment. Any discernment and renewal will have to take its beginnings from here, going back to the most genuine motive of the mission, the love of Christ that impels us.
2. Together with our mission partners worldwide we are invited to ask two fundamental questions: What does God want us to do? & What can we ask of God?
2.1 The first question: What does God want us to do? Always remembering that it is God's mission we are called to share: What does God want us to do in this discernment and renewal process? In the search for answers we can, among others, look for help at our Founder, Pope Francis and the Scriptural readings of today.
Our Founder's life is a witness to the importance of this perpetual discernment and renewal process. Arnold Janssen reminds us: "May his holy will always be done. If our work is not his doing, it is better that it fails – and the sooner, the better." Once I asked the author of Journey in Faith, Fr. Josef Alt, what had touched him most about the life of Fr. Janssen after writing a biography of the Founder of close to 1,000 pages. Fr. Alt said that the most touching aspects were "the simplicity of Arnold Janssen's life" and "his deep faith in God," and that everything else was secondary. In a later conversation Fr. Alt added another point, and that was, "perseverance." Simplicity, deep faith and perseverance are probably the Founder's answer to the question of what God wants. They are important characteristics of a renewed congregation.
Living with the Divine Word at the center of our lives, being rooted in the Word, we will find more answers to the question "what God wants us to do" each time we share the Word. The readings of today fit the Chapter theme well. Each has a specific message in the context of a renewal process: In the first reading, the prophet Ezekiel (17:22-24) takes an example from nature. He reminds us that the Lord, and not we, is the owner of everything that is. The Lord remains in control of any development. He turns things upside down if a change is needed. He can give life back to what has become lifeless and dead. – The Psalmist (92) tells us that it is thus good to give thanks to the Lord and he reminds us that what is good in life the Lord sustains, and what is not good the Lord allows to die and pass away. Paul in his second letter to the Corinthians (5:6-10) shares some essentials needed in the way of renewal with the Lord. What God wants us to do is always to be courageous … "to walk by faith, not by sight" … and "to aspire to please him" … Mark in his Parable of the growing seed (4: 26-34) wants us to rediscover the secret mystery of how the Reign of God develops. Like the seed is being sown, so the Word of God has to be preached continuously – It will grow and bear fruit even though we do not know how. Like the mustard seed, our contribution might seem small but God allows what is small to become big and life-giving.
In our SPIRITUALITY, there might be a need for a conversion to a new and more biblical image of God. In COMMUNITY, conversion is needed to what we have and do in common rather than what we merely want to do alone. LEADERSHIP requires conversion to taking responsibility, to serve, and to trust. In line with FINANCES, there is a need of conversion to transparency, solidarity, and professionalism. And in the context of initial and ongoing FORMATION, conversion faces, among others, the challenge of transforming habits and to learn to think out of the box.
2.2. After asking "What does God want us to do?" we can ask the second question, "What can we ask of God?" What do we (I) need: looking at our world today, at the church, and at our congregation? Asking this question in communities around the world in past years, I was given many different answers.
• In Slovakia, the Ukraine, Latvia, Albania, and Croatia: more people than ever are searching for meaning in life after decades of socialism.
Looking at the state of our environment, the very urgent need of more exceptional care and concern for God's creation has become ever more apparent to many people we work with around the world.
During the year of mercy, Pope Francis emphasized that in the process of conversion and renewal we could ask the merciful and compassionate God for forgiveness and the grace to forgive each other.
3. Looking at the responses from people worldwide, we may realize how important all this is that we can ask of God – peace, justice, truthfulness, authenticity, commitment, reconciliation, forgiveness, mercy, compassion, healing, meaning, love, friendship, simplicity, faithfulness, perseverance, solidarity, hope, new beginnings, and new life, for example. We cannot do and live without them. We might also realize that all of these are priceless and cannot be purchased. What is most important in life is priceless and cannot be bought. Surely we have to do our part, and yet ultimately all these are genuine gifts given to those who ask of God. That is why as missionaries, we continue to share and tell the story about God the giver of gifts and all that is good. And that is why missionary work is and will remain important when it is renewed, impelled by love, rooted in His Word, and committed to His mission.
4. In ending, our founder reminds us of the objective our Society. He says: The objective is to strive that the Society as a whole and in its members ever more faithfully fulfills the will of God. This requires firstly the greater sanctification of its members and secondly that the Society endeavor to become an ever more capable, more useful instrument in the hand of God." [… In this way it will be possible to promote the honor of the Blessed Trinity, and especially of the Holy Spirit, more and more, to spread the Word of God on earth and with it the holy love of God, the love of Christian virtue and the great treasures of grace of the divine kingdom.] [To the Priests and Brothers in Argentina and Brazil, St. Wendel, 3 December 1901 (Arnold Janssen Reader, 2017, sec 321)] This, too, is the objective of our envisioned renewal.

The lowest-ranked international footballers to win the Premier League
Plus: more random guests at footballers' weddings, captains with roles reversed and who played in six different derbies? Mail us or tweet @TheKnowledge_GU

"Which player had the nationality with the lowest Fifa world ranking at the time of him winning the Premier League?" tweets TheTinBoonie.
Boris Cule rushes to the front of the queue to get his answer in first. "Having looked at the list of countries that produced Premier League winners, the obvious candidates seemed Liberia, Latvia and Iceland," he writes. "And, indeed, Iceland were ranked 95th in the world when Eidur Gudjohnsen won the title with Chelsea in 2005, and were ranked 97th when he repeated the feat in 2006. Liberia were ranked 98th when Christopher Wreh won the title with Arsenal in 1998, but Latvia were ranked 105th when Igors Stepanovs won it with Arsenal in 2002.
Which footballers have had unlikely guests at their weddings? | The Knowledge
"That seemed to be the end of it, as further search (Jamaica, Algeria, Trinidad and Tobago, etc) yielded no results, until, to my surprise, up popped the surprising winner in Jonny Evans, who won the title in 2013 with Manchester United at a time when Northern Ireland were ranked 119th in the world. What makes this even more remarkable is that Northern Ireland were ranked 97th just a month earlier, and were ranked 27th when Evans won his first title in 2009. Northern Ireland were ranked 111th when Roy Carroll won the title with Manchester United in 2003, putting him in second place behind Evans."
Ian Cade has come up with a list of players based on the Fifa rankings of the national team they played for at the end of the year in which they won the title, rather than in May. This would put Carroll top:
Roy Carroll: Manchester United, 2003, Northern Ireland, 122
Ryan Giggs: Manchester United, 2000, Wales, 109
Christopher Wreh: Arsenal, 1998, Liberia, 108
Giggs: Manchester United, 1997, Wales, 102
Giggs: Manchester United, 1999, Wales, 98
Eidur Gudjohnsen: Chelsea, 2005, Iceland, 94
Gudjohnsen: Chelsea, 2004, Iceland, 93
Johnny Evans: Manchester United, 2013, Northern Ireland, 89
We're minded to go with the ranking at the moment the team was crowned Premier League champions, but the above list does show that Manchester United have been a fruitful home for low-ranked internationals. Tom Aldous got in touch with a player who would have beaten Evans, Carroll et al had he made 10 appearances for Leicester in the season he arrived. "Faiq Bolkiah joined in March 2016 so he was part of the squad when they won the title," writes Tom. "Faiq is from Brunei, who were ranked 190th at the time, but he didn't play a single minute for them in the league." He doesn't count then, alas. Sorry.
Random guests at footballers' weddings (2)
Following on from unlikely guests at players' weddings, here are some we missed …
"The one and only Nelson Mandela attended former Charlton Athletic striker Shaun Bartlett's wedding," writes Nicholas Walmsley. Here's the story.
"Gylfi Sigurdsson got married at Lake Como last week, with royal wedding-like coverage in the Icelandic media," notes Svein Sigþórsson. "For some reason, Julie Benz, an actress most famous for playing Dexter's wife in the serial killer TV series, made an appearance there, alongside various teammates from the national team and some close friends from former club sides. I still have no idea why she was there." Benz's other half is Rich Orosco, who works for LAFC.
Meanwhile, Noel Baker "feels compelled to highlight an inaccuracy in your otherwise great piece, if only to protect the enduring reputation of AC/DC. As reported in Marca, Sergio Ramos didn't manage to bag the genius Antipodean rockers, and instead had to make do with Europe."
This one's for you, Sergio!
Captains with roles reversed
"Are there any instances of two players who are teammates for club and country where one is captain of their club but the other is captain of their country?" asks James Robinson.
Indeed they have, James – and it's over to Italy for the answer. "Fabio Cannavaro became of the captain of Italy regularly from 2002 and he famously lifted the world cup as the skipper for Italy when they won the tournament in 2006," writes Rit Nanda. However, during this period, particularly from 2004-06, when he played for Juventus, he played under the captaincy of Alessandro Del Piero. So, from 2004 to 2006, Del Piero captained Cannavaro at club level with Juventus and vice versa at the international level with Italy.
Knowledge archive
"Former Serbian midfielder Vladimir Jugovic played for, among other clubs, Red Star Belgrade, Sampdoria, Juventus, Lazio and Inter," so said Bogdan Kotarlic in November 2012. "It enabled him to participate in no fewer than five derby matches where the teams from the same city were involved. Has any other player taken part in more derbies?"
The popular pub quiz answer is that German hair model Christian Ziege also played five derbies, appearing for Liverpool against Everton, Milan against Inter, Bayern Munich against TSV 1860, Tottenham against Arsenal and Middlesbrough against Newcastle and Sunderland. We have also read somewhere that Ray Wilkins played in five: west London, Manchester, Milan, Glasgow and Edinburgh, after coming off the bench for Hibs a few days before moving to Millwall.
But two players have gone one better: Richard Gough has six derbies to his name, including Dundee, north London, Glasgow, Forest v Derby, the Merseyside set-to and San José Clash versus LA Galaxy. "It's like watching Big Brother," Gough said of the Old Firm matches in March 2011. "The product is not great at the minute but you know there is going to be an accident happening." The other is Paul Stewart (Spurs v Arsenal, Liverpool v Everton, Crystal Palace v Millwall, Wolves v West Brom, Sunderland v Newcastle and Stoke v Port Vale). Contrary to popular opinion, he never played in the Manchester derby.

"With Qatar and Japan in the Copa América and Solihull and Wrexham taking part in the Tunnock's Caramel Wafer Challenge Cup in Scotland, my question is: what are the most obscure cross-border teams to have played in another nation's tournament?" asks George Jones.
"Which women have won a major football trophy while pregnant?" asks Peter Pollock.
"What is the most penalty-ish major men's or women's tournament ever?" wonders Tom Levine. "Either in terms of percentage of goals or percentage of goals which impact on a result?"

Apart from the Avanhard stadium in Pripyat, have there been any other stadia that have opened but never had a match played there?
"Adama Traoré scored for Mali against Mauritania and was then replaced by Adama Traoré, who also scored," notes Daniel Goldman. "Has this ever happened with other names?"
GD (@djgcfum)
Which team had the first away following?
"As of 2019, Villarreal have yet to win a major trophy in Spain," writes Kevin Harkin. "However, they have won 84 games in European competitions (Champions League, Europa League, Intertoto Cup), reaching four semi-finals so far. Is this the best overall European record for a club that has never won a major competition?"

Q: Primes approximated by eigenvalues? Let the matrix $T$ be defined by:
$$\displaystyle T(n,k) = -\varphi^{-1}(\operatorname{GCD}(n,k))$$
where $\varphi^{-1}$ is the Dirichlet inverse of the Euler totient function.
$$\varphi^{-1}(n) = \sum\limits_{d|n}\mu(d)d$$
$$\varphi^{-1}(n) = +1, -1, -2, -1, -4, +2, -6,...$$
The matrix $T$ starts:
$$\displaystyle T = -\left(   \begin{array}{ccccccc}   +1&+1&+1&+1&+1&+1&+1&\cdots \\ +1&-1&+1&-1&+1&-1&+1 \\ +1&+1&-2&+1&+1&-2&+1 \\ +1&-1&+1&-1&+1&-1&+1 \\ +1&+1&+1&+1&-4&+1&+1 \\ +1&-1&-2&-1&+1&+2&+1 \\ +1&+1&+1&+1&+1&+1&-6 \\ \vdots&&&&&&&\ddots \end{array}   \right)$$

Does the largest eigenvalue of the matrix $T$ approximate the
  previous prime number sequence?

The largest eigenvalues rounded start:
{-1, 1, 3, 3, 5, 5, 7, 7, 7, 8, 11, 11, 13, 13, 13, 13, 17, 17, 19, 19, 19, 19, 23, 23, 23, 23, 23, 23, 29, 29, 31, 31, 31, 31, 31, 31, 37, 37, 37, 37, 41, 41}
compared to the previous prime number sequence:
{-2, 2, 3, 3, 5, 5, 7, 7, 7, 7, 11, 11, 13, 13, 13, 13, 17, 17, 19, 19, 19, 19, 23, 23, 23, 23, 23, 23, 29, 29, 31, 31, 31, 31, 31, 31, 37, 37, 37, 37, 41, 41}
The agreement appears to hold for $n>10$.

Sodium phenylbutyrate is indicated for metabolic disorder of the urea cycle. Sodium phenylbutyrate is a prodrug and is rapidly metabolized to phenylacetate, the active form. Phenylacetate conjugates with glutamine via acetylation to form phenylacetylglutamine, which provides a different vehicle for nitrogen waste excretion by the kidneys. Thus, sodium phenylbutyrate decreases elevated plasma ammonia glutamine concentrations in patients with urea cycle disorders.

If you've read any of the last couple posts, you know that you need to think of your music as a business.
Smart business owners invest in their businesses. And they do it in a strategic way.
They invest in different ideas. Then – only after they've tested them – they put all their resources behind what's working.
Don't spend all your resources (time, money, effort) on one song until you've tested several songs and seen what gets the best reaction.
All of our non-exclusive licenses in the past have had limitations on what you can do with your song – how many units you can sell, how many times it can be streamed, where you can monetize the song, etc.
Basically if you wanted to give your song a chance at being a hit, you needed to buy the exclusive rights.
This has been a great business model for me, since it strongly encouraged artists to spend thousands on a beat.
Exclusive rights purchases have been a big part of how Legion Beats makes money.
But…it's not the best business model for YOU.
Because – even if you can afford to spend that much – you probably won't have much left over to test other songs or give your songs the proper promotional push they need.
Yes, you did have the option of getting non-exclusive licenses in that past, but those had limitations.
And, if someone else ended up buying the exclusive rights, you would always be stuck with those limitations.
That's why we're now offering UNLIMITED non-exclusive licenses.
…and still have money left for promo, mixing & mastering, and all the other things you need to be successful.
You'll still be able to get unlimited licenses for $199 each after today.
But…today is the last day to get THREE unlimited licenses for $199.
If you're serious about starting to treat your music like a business, this is the time to take advantage of this deal.
But before you do, I need to mention that I don't think everyone should take advantage of this deal.
Even though $199 for unlimited rights to 3 beats is an incredible discount, it may not be what you need right now.
So who shouldn't take advantage of this deal?
1. If you are struggling to put food on the table for yourself or your family, save your money. There are more important things you need to worry about.
2. If you know you're definitely not going to hit any of the limitations of our cheaper licenses (you can get a basic license for just $29.99) then you really don't need this. You should only get this if you think you have a chance of going over those limits. With a basic license, you're allowed 5,0000 streams. If you've never gotten that many streams before and you're not trying anything new to promote it, stick with the basic license instead.
So if you fall into one of those 2 categories above, skip this deal.
We've never made an offer like this before and probably never will again.
So – if this offer is right for you – head over to our homepage at legionbeats.com now and select 3 unlimited licenses – it could be one of the best investments you've made yet in your career!
➡ This Offer Is Right For Me!


I highly recommend Steven Johnson's 2001 book Emergence (Touchstone). It's an easy read, and very informative in bringing the reader up-to-date (as of 2001 anyway) on thinking about emergent behaviors in complex systems.
Anyway, he describes one experiment, a simulation of the behavior of slime mold. Slime mold is a primitive amoebalike organism, related to fungi that acts one way by itself, but takes on entirely different behaviors when it gets together with other slime molds -- even to the point where scientists can "train" the mold to navigate a maze.
Johnson describes how Mitch Resnick, a researcher at MIT, developed a computer program [instance of eletronic instruments of science] to simulate the behavior of slime mold. Slime molds leave a chemical trail that other slime molds can detect, and then alter their behavior accordingly. The length of time that the trail persists will therefore affect the impact of other molds, so these two dimensions -- the number of molds, and the life of the pheromone trail -- will affect the behavior of the slime mold "system."
Johnson then uses this pattern of behavior -- processes that under certain conditions undergo a phase transition -- a "quantity becomes quality" shift -- to talk about "idea revolutions", when new patterns or ways of thinking -- paradigm shifts -- take place.
-- an existing communication network affects the dispersion of novel ideas. In the case of ideas, access to the network on the production side can be closed, or filtered through editors. On the consumption side, access can be blocked by lack of access to the necessary technology (e.g., illiteracy or no computer) or lack of money and absence of public libraries. Filtering can take place along the network connections, in the form of censorship, or lack of money to put the ideas out. So of course the nature of the communication channels has a tremendous effect in how ideas spread -- the amount of friction in the network that determines how long ideas "persist" if they even see the light of day.
-- new networks may develop to communicate the new ideas, if the existing network is too closed or has too much friction. For example, alternative media networks like IndyMedia.
-- the network of ideas exists within a broader environment. Even in a "frictionless" network, irrelevant, nutty, goofy ideas generally will not gain traction; or be sidelined amongst a cultish few. So the paradigm shifts that do occur -- setting aside periods of mass delusion, manias, etc. -- are enabled by some broader consciousness (enabled by new tools of science) that has some relevancy or correspondence to new discoveries.
-- networks undergo phase transitions in their process of growth (quantity becomes quality, as in the case of the ideas gaining popular currency), but this should be distinguished from the overthrow of one law system by another (quality replaces quality, regime change in the world of ideas or world outlook).

Gas & Electric Service
Reliable gas and electric service is provided by Duke Energy. Because Ohio is a deregulated state for electric and gas utilities, users may select their utility supplier and the selected service will be delivered by Duke's transmission lines. For information on deregulation, visit EnergyChoice Ohio.
Monroe provides water service throughout most of the city. Water is purchased on a long-term contract from Butler County. In the unlikely event of contamination, the water system can be switched to a separate water supply.
The only business areas not served by Monroe water are Clark Boulevard, Wright Drive, Westheimer Drive, and Logistics Way. These locations are served by Butler County.
Businesses that use a considerable amount of water as part of their operations (for example, certain types of manufacturing) may be eligible for water rate restructuring as part of an overall incentive package.

Water Quality Report (PDF)
Sewer Service
Monroe's sewer service is provided by Butler County, regardless of whether the business is located in Butler County or Warren County. Sewer service fees are based on a business's ERU (Equivalent Residential Unit) purchase. Each ERU represents 12,000 gallons of metered water usage. By increasing the number of ERUs purchased, a business is able to reduce the overall sewer rate for a proportionate amount of their water usage and eliminate or reduce peaking charges.

Ain't no party like a West Coast party!
Tattoo artist, Denver Broncos superfan, chill dude and more!
I'm a Colorado native and my interest in art and tattooing began in my early teen years. I began getting tattooed as soon as I could and this has continued ever since. After college, graduate school and a brief four year stint in the corporate world, I decided I needed to pursue my passion. I needed to be happy. Tattooing is that passion and happiness for me. I apprenticed under Ryan Willard, here at Marion Street, beginning in June of 2012. Each day I strive to learn and grow as an artist and further my tattooing ability. Being surrounded by the talent and leadership at Marion Street helps this happen on a daily basis. I love tattooing and what it means for each client that comes into the shop. I look forward to each tattoo opportunity and helping each client's vision become reality.


I remember when I first began juicing many years ago dropping a piece of watermelon down the chute of the running juicer and all the seeds promptly being spat back at me. Aside from hitting me in the face – one of the few occasions that I have been glad to need to wear glasses – the seeds went everywhere ricocheting off the ceiling, walls and kitchen cupboards. I was still finding them several weeks later. The moral is when you juice a watermelon, turn the juicer off, put the fruit in the chute, put the pusher back in and then switch the machine on.
I was sent a Sage by Heston Blumenthal nutrijuicer to play with; which I will write more about in due course – first thoughts are that it is very efficient, but also rather large.
This cucumber and melon combination is very refreshing, and I suspect would make an excellent basis for a cocktail or ice lolly too. For a pretty pink juice you need to peel the cucumber, otherwise it is just as good, but really not very pretty. The squeeze of lime brightens the flavour up considerably. Use chilled fruit from the fridge for this and serve immediately. There is very little heat transfer from the juicer so your juice will be fridge cool.
If you try this Recipe: Cucumber & Watermelon Refresher please tag #FussFreeFlavours on Instagram or Twitter. It is amazing for me when for me when you make one of my recipes and I really do love to see them. You can also share it on my Facebook page. Please pin this recipe to Pinterest too! Thanks for reading Fuss Free Flavours!
Run the watermelon, cucumber and lime through the juicer. If the watermelon contains lots of seeds then stop the juicer when loading the fruit into the chute.
Give the juice a stir, serve in a pretty glass with a sprig of mint and a piece of lemon grass.


Brussels – In a complaint lodged today with the European Investment Bank (EIB), civil society groups protest that the bank systematically underestimated the climate footprint of a fossil fuel mega project, the Southern Gas Corridor, which helped justify providing it with major financial support using EU public money.
Brussels, Katowice, Prague – While confirming its plans to align with the Paris Agreement, the European Investment Bank (EIB) still continues to fund climate damaging fossil fuel projects, having disbursed more than EUR 11.8 billion in fossil fuels projects since 2013 – point out NGOs in a new briefing .
The European Parliament urged the EBRD and EIB to review their support for hydropower plant projects in its last week's resolutions on the European Commission's 2018 reports on Albania and Montenegro. The votes come as a clear sign that the European institutions are starting to reconsider their support for hydropower as green energy.


It is a good idea to get a local sim card for your cell phone as it will enable you to make emergency and number enquiries for free, make other calls for local rates and receive calls for free.
"Pay as you go" sim cards can mostly be bought on "specials" at some grocery shops and cellphone shops for R1 to R10 (at the airports the same starter packs are usually more expensive). You will have to RICA register your sim card showing your ID document. You are not able to make calls on the sim card until the registration has been processed which might take a few hours. You buy as much airtime (available at most shops) as you need and load yourself. Vodacom and MTN are two of the most common networks you can use on a pre-paid basis. You might not be able to use a South African sim card if your cell phone is locked to a specific service provider in your home country.
On some of these networks you can also use your cell phone to buy data bundles and connect to the internet on a pay as you go/pre paid basis. You can use the purchased data bundles to connect to internet using your cell phone as a modem to your laptop.


The weather over the weekend in central Brazil was finally the type of weather you generally expect for this time of the year. In Mato Grosso for example, there was heavy overcast and it rained most of the day on Sunday for a total of 2-4 inches. The weather was similar in Goias, northern Mato Grosso do Sul, northern Minas Gerais, and western Bahia.
But prior to the weekend, the weather in Brazil last week was more of the same, scattered showers with uneven distribution. The temperatures have also been very hot. For example, the city of Sao Paulo is on track to having the hottest January in 76 years. In the city of Campo Grande, which is the capital of Mato Grosso do Sul, a thunderstorm last Thursday afternoon broke a three day heat wave where the temperatures were over 104°F for three straight days. This is the type of weather they have been experiencing in central Brazil, prior to this past weekend.
After a few days of rainy weather, the forecast is calling for a return of dryer than normal conditions across central and southern Brazil. The rainfall was certainly beneficial, but the forecast looks like a return of the previous pattern - hotter than normal and dryer than normal. Generally, the biggest weather problem for soybeans in central Brazil during January is too much rainfall as farmers start to harvest their early maturing soybeans. That has not been the case this year and in fact, the soybean harvest is progressing about two weeks ahead of the average pace in central Brazil. The weekend rains will only delay the soybean harvest for a couple of days. AgRural reported on Friday that 13% of the Brazilian soybeans had been harvested compared to 4% last year and 3% for the 5-year average. The fastest harvest pace is in Mato Grosso where 29% of the soybeans have been harvested followed by Parana with 18%, Goias with 14% and Mato Grosso do Sul with 8%. AgRural also indicated that they expect to lower their soybean production estimate during the first week of February. Their last estimate of the Brazilian soybean crop was 116.9 million tons on January 9th.
The soybean harvest in Brazil is running about two weeks ahead of normal, an as a result, I would estimate that the crop could hit as much as 50% harvested by maybe February 15th. If widespread rainfall returns to central Brazil, it could slow down the soybean harvest. The further east you go the dryer the weather has been and I would say the two driest states right now are probably Minas Gerais and Bahia.
Mato Grosso - The Mato Institute of Agricultural Economics (Imea) reported last Friday that 26% of the 2018/19 soybeans had been harvested (this is a little less than AgRural) compared to 12% last year. This represents an advance of 12% for the week. The most advanced harvest is in western Mato Grosso where 38% of the soybeans had been harvested. The slowest harvest pace is in the northeastern part of the state where 9% of the soybeans had been harvested. This is a record fast soybean harvest for the state. The maturity of the soybeans has been accelerated by the hot and dry conditions in parts of the state, especially for the early maturing soybeans.
Once the planting had been completed back in October, Imea forecasted that 10-15% of the soybeans in the state could be harvested by the end of January. Well, we have already surpassed that estimate and there are still a few days left in the month.
In many municipalities in the state such as Sorriso, Nova Mutum, and Primavera do Leste, farmers are reporting disappointing yields for the early maturing soybeans that were filling pods in December when the weather was hot and dry. Now that the harvest is moving into more of the later planted soybeans and the medium maturity soybeans, yields are improving, but they are still irregular.
Parana - The Department of Rural Economics for the State of Parana (Deral) reported that 15% of the soybeans had been harvested. As a result of the hot and dry conditions, they lowered their estimate for the 2018/19 soybean production in the state to 16.8 million tons, which is below the 19.1 million tons they had estimated in December. The soybeans in Parana are 21% flowering and 46% filling pods and the crop is rated 7% poor, 23% average, and 70% good.
Western Parana was hardest hit by the hot and dry weather and in the 20 municipalities surrounding the city of Toledo in western Parana, the soybeans are 75% harvested and agronomists estimate that the yields are down 39% from what was expected at the start of the growing season.
Grande do Sul - In contrast to the rest of Brazil, southern Rio Grande do Sul has been receiving too much rainfall. The soybeans in the state are 32% in vegetative development, 45% flowering, and 23% filling pods. The wettest areas of the state are the southern, southwestern, and western areas. The wettest areas of the state represent about 18% of the state's total soybean production.
In the 52 municipalities most impacted by the wet weather, 16 have declared a state of emergency. This area plants approximately 1 million hectares of soybeans and local authorities estimate that 275,000 hectares have suffered some level of loss.
Recent wet weather has prevented farmers in the state from making timely fungicide applications and as a result, the state now has the most confirmed cases of soybean rust (64). Generally, farmers need to apply fungicides every 20 days to control the disease.
Goias - The state government of Goias is estimating that the statewide soybean yield will decline 6.9% compared to last year and that the total production will decline 4.4% compared to last year. A producer organization in southwestern Goias estimates that the statewide soybean yield will be down 10% compared to last year. Goias is the fourth largest soybean producing state in Brazil.
Mato Grosso do Sul - According to the consulting firm Granos, farmers in the state have harvested approximately 5% of their soybeans and they have sold 36% which is more than last year at this time when they had sold 30% of their crop. They estimate the state will produce 9.1 million tons with an average yield of 3,215 kg/ha (47.5 bu/ac).
Tocantins - In the municipality of Darcinopolis, the early soybean harvest has started and producers are expecting their yields to be down 10% compared to last year when the average yield in the area was 60 to 62 sacks per hectare (53 to 55 bu/ac). Hot and dry weather during December negatively impacted the early planted soybeans.
Northeastern Brazil - The farmers in northeastern Brazil had high hopes when the growing season started, but those hopes are being challenged as persistent hot and dry conditions have prevailed since about the first of the year. Western Bahia is the area of most concern and they did receive some good rains over the weekend, but more will be needed going forward.
The last three growing seasons in western Bahia have been very good with each year setting new production records. Last year for example, it was common to hear of 60 bushel soybean yields in western Bahia, but those good growing seasons were probably the exception. Much of the area is semi-arid, and the summer rainy season starts later in northeastern Brazil and it ends earlier than in other regions of central Brazil. AgRural reported that 1% of the soybeans in Bahia had been harvested, but I have not heard of any yield reports.

The Thorny Path to Reform
Member of Parliament Yehor Firsov on how reforms can be both painful and comfortable
Recently it seems that all of Ukraine is talking about reforms. This is encouraging. It has finally become clear to the masses that there is no point in delaying the process, and the population has been asking for change. Now it seems like even grannies and babies are aware of the urgent need for transformation.
Yet at the same time I cannot hide the fact that our reforms are moving slowly, because in the old bureaucracy the potential for resistance is huge. We probably all see it. Sabotage is happening practically at all levels, and there is not a single area in which reforms have been successfully implemented. I once thought of Ukrainian MPs as practically omnipotent demigods, but now, being an MP myself, I am sometimes desperate about the lack of authority. The system will not yield.
What are the main causes of failure? The first is a huge problem: the shortage of personnel. I imagine that even entrepreneurs and managers of small companies understand me. Ukraine has a huge shortage of skilled labor. Finding responsible, educated workers can seem like an impossible task—especially when it comes to civil service jobs with miniscule wages. We need to hire and train new young people without prior experience working as civil servants. We should promise them a future worthy of reward and strive to ensure that their salaries actually increase.
But the current system is simply not ready. And this brings us to the second barrier in the way of reform: lack of will.
No one is eager to go the extra mile to teach beginners or to break the usual corrupt mechanisms. As a result, we have a situation where everyone is working on the principle of "better to take the old tried-and-true thief who will not cause trouble and skillfully create an illusion of intense activity than worry about some young workers that will end up being just as bad". Unfortunately, even our President's advisors think the same way and are pushing him to take similar steps. Petro Poroshenko is appointing former Party of Regions members as Heads of district administrations as long as they have adapted to his government and shout "Glory to Ukraine!" when needed. 16 former Party of Regions members were recently appointed as Heads of county administrations in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. This is far too many. With this approach, of course, there can be no reform. It is high time to abolish the unnecessary county administrations themselves. Instead, they are once again being turned into feeders for former members of the Yanukovych regime.
It will be impossible to build a new life with this old staff, no matter how painful and difficult the process.
The only possible way is a radical reduction of state officials and law enforcement officers and the simultaneous increase in wages for those who remain on staff. Middle tier managers should be paid salaries of no less than UAH 30,000. Only then can we expect that corruption will not be as pervasive and people will really go to work for wages rather than bribes. Public service should be prestigious, recruiting the best people from across the country. But how can you recruit the best while offering a salary of UAH 2,000, an equivalent of about USD 80 a month? It is just impossible.
RELATED ARTICLE: Energy reforms and sabotage
An oblast governor currently receives a salary of about UAH 5,000 or ar. USD 200. Who are we kidding? For the sake of saving some money, we generate corruption that costs us billions. Where does the oblast head live? How does he drive to work? How does he pay his assistants, for example? There is no need to listen to populists. Only decent salaries for law enforcement officers and managers can really make a difference. And society should put pressure on the government to make such decisions.
I support the introduction of Georgian-style liberalization. Less laws - more order, as Lao Tzu stated. We are long overdue to put an end to fire inspections, sanitary stations and other remnants of the Soviet era that have long been machines for pumping money from businessmen. But these structures are reluctant to give up their income. That is why we are seeing a push to halt the process of reform or prevent its introduction altogether. How do they sabotage change? It is very simple. We all know that in Ukraine a fraction of bribes and extortion moves up any authority hierarchy, resting in the pockets of those on top of the pyramid. The factions have even increased recently to make it interesting for those who make decisions at the very top. I don't know if these bribes and extortion are collected from businesspeople or withdrawn from the old "reserves".
Another factor inhibiting our reforms is fear. The government is afraid of taking tough decisions and losing the remnants of its approval rating, so it avoids taking any unpopular measures. This always makes things only worse, but the Prime Minister hardly hears that. Therefore, the authorities are still not ready to act radically and tend toward palliative measures. And society as a whole is too afraid of sudden change. Thus, in the end everyone is both passive and unsatisfied.
RELATED ARTICLE: Law enforcement reforms
The first priority today is to get business running—to get the maximum number of people working in the private sector and not worrying about the state. But here we appear to lack reforms as well. Conditions have not improved at all for entrepreneurs, who face the same old bureaucracy, red tape, and flawed tax laws. Yet the recipe is already there in the form of the Georgian experience; we don't need to reinvent the wheel. It's not necessary to build some new "Palace of Justice", as Mikheil Saakashvili did to great effect. We could implement a Georgian-style simplified mechanism for the registration of entrepreneurs with our existing buildings, if we only had the will...
The new system for registering private businesses in Tbilisi takes 10 minutes. The procedure differs little from the process of ordering a meal at McDonalds. I am sure that the implementation of this kind of business registration would cause an immediate surge in business for Ukraine. It is no secret that our country really is not as poor as they say. Real incomes do not correspond to declared incomes. Large amounts of cash flow "in the black" - in envelopes from hand to hand. Legalizing all this money is possible, but only if the process of legalization is made as simple as possible: encourage people to formally execute their business and pay a small tax without any problems. Today, grandmothers who sell pastries in the subway, of course, are afraid of any sort of registration because they do not want to pay bribes to inspectors and sanitation agents. As a result, the pastries are sold anyway, the sanitation agents don't inspect the grandmothers, and our state budget suffers.
Reforms should not only be painful, but comfortable too. Only then will they make any sense.

Winter Social Event
The committee discussed the possible need to change the date of March 24 because of the now scheduled Day of the Gun marches. Date will be confirmed shortly. In the mean time, we need people to sign up to help. The goal is to have a fun, social event, while also providing information on registration, absentee ballot voting, and second home owners voting. Additionally all of the congressional candidates have confirmed that they will either join us, or send a senior representative. Volunteers are needed to:
Help set up and break down the room.
Bring food and drinks.
Distribute flyers at the Town Hall dump (Saturdays) and to local neighbors.
At the next meeting, the events committee will bring a budget to show exactly what is needed in terms of funds for street signs and other related event costs. Contact
m.thomp1958@yahoo.com
if you are interested in volunteering or participating.
Dutchess County Legislature Update
Joel Tyner shared several initiatives he launched and received signatures on, including a living wage letter, hand-counting electronic ballots, etc. He also announced an upcoming repair café to be held in Rhinebeck. Information is available at RepaircafeHV.org
Getting Out the Vote
Scott Duquette discussed the developing strategy to get out the vote. He is developing a calendar, to be shared at the next meeting, that breaks down activities between now and November.
The major goal right now is to increase volunteers in Clinton. So that they can help turn out the Dems this November. The team has been calling Democratic voters who voted in the last six elections to inform them about the get out the vote process. They are finding that people are not informed about the congressional candidates, but extremely interested to know more.
It was agreed that in addition to the calendar, we would at the next meeting review specific actions where help is needed. Bernadette suggested that we all reach out to weekenders we know who might consider changing their voting location. We discussed strategies to identify residents new to the area. Crucially: We need more volunteers now. Contact
judy.itfio@gmail.com
if you are interested.
Funding for early voting is coming through. This is the month in NYS politics. Between today and 5 weeks from now, before the budget is due. This is the time to call Didi Barrett and Sue Serino and express your support.
Unofficial notes from the February 13 Clinton Town Board Meeting
By Bernadette Duquette, Vice President Town of Clinton Democrats
Minutes from the previous meeting were approved.
Public Discussion
Four people commented on the proposed tree harvesting law, 2 were for and 2 against.
The town has a contract to allow cablevision (now Altice) to provide services in town. As such, if the board receives any notices from them, those notices are reported. This month, they removed the Game Show Network from their sports package.
The Tree Harvesting Law was not passed.
There was a discussion about a possible demolition delay for Historic Buildings. The ideas is to propose a delay in intentions to demolish historic buildings so that the town or historical society might reach a compromise or agreement with the home owner to preserve some aspects of the to-be-demolished structure. Due to opposition on the Board, the proposal was withdrawn for further research and amendment.
Discussion of Sun & Energy (a third party energy provider that proposes to give the community a discount for electrical services). It was discussed that when a resident researched this group he found questionable details of the company and asked that the board do more due diligence. Also, Sun & Energy cancelled their town presentation due to the new tariffs placed on solar panels. These tariffs will make solar much more expensive, so they need to rework their proposal.
Town Supervisor Oberly appointed Chris Palmiero to the Scenic and Historic Roads Advisory Committee. They are a volunteer committee that provides advice and assistance to the Town Board regarding scenic and historic roads. This was an appointment to fill a vacancy on that committee.
Approved Copier rental contract was renewed for same price but will give three printers for better accessibility for all users. - Oberly
Approved purchase of small sander for the pickup truck. Cost no more than $4,000 - Michael
Approved settlement of Van Wormer Certiorari. It seems that a property/house was sold for considerably less that its town assessment price and the new owners wanted the property/house to reflex the purchase price for taxes. There was a legal proceeding that led to the settlement. The town board then needed to approve the settlement. - Michael
Approved let AFLAC put fliers in employees envelopes for employees to purchase at their own want/need/expense. - Oberly
Approved introducing a local law for Zoning Officer using Search Warrants. The Zoning Officer cannot inspect a property without the owners permission. So, if there is a known violation and the owner does not give permission to inspect, that violation can't be cited and dealt with. This Local Law establishes a procedure for the Zoning Officer to obtain a warrant to inspect if an owner refuses access to their property. - Oberly

Approve introducing Cold War Veterans Exemption for 2018 (some benefits for this veterans would expire if they do not vote to extend the exemption) Oberly
Discussion only to introduce public discussion (local Law) to Amend Ethics Law prohibiting Elected Officials from also holding appointive office. (This came about because the recently appointed tax collector already has a paid job with the city. Discussion by board members were comments such as: "not an issue": "an opportunity to get other people in the community involved" : " other individuals with strong background ": "not appropriate because of how one jobs could impact the second Job", and again "not a problem") Oberly
Resignations and Appointments
Approval of Warrants
This is basically just a request so they can pay their bills.
Motion to Move funds ( seems we are always moving some city funds from one bucket to another to cover costs. A dollar amount is never mentioned at the meeting but I assume that board members are told the specifics.) Approved
Supervisor Report
New Library Board Director reminded everyone of the Book Sale.
A person commented on the Amend Ethics : If a person holds two jobs and gets sick then the city is down two people.
There was a brief discussion about guns in town buildings. Two People spoke about not allowing guns in public building. One person declared guns are good and should be allowed anywhere because bad guys will do what they will do. Another person spoke about no guns in public places and mentioned the fact that this has been brought up multiple times but it never shows on the board agenda. Nancy said she is proposing to put it on next months agenda. She was thanked.

Q: Extracting Particular lines in a text file
I have a text file and I want to extract only certain lines in this file I put it in another file

for line in cFicIn:

fieldwidths = (22, 22, 22)  # negative widths represent ignored padding fields
parse = make_parser(fieldwidths)
fields = parse(line)

I have three columns in the text file. fields[0] give the columns 0....
Frequency [Hz]           Peak amplitude           Phase [degrees]
117.131422636205         1528954.28753915         -54.0642640720085
234.26284527241          1051596.71706853         -6.8190622364283
351.302901744313         456787.344479019         47.6494383764102
Peak interpolation: Numeric

However me I want to recover the data that is between the two lines in the file knowing I have several.The line Frequency and Peak interpolation
if 'Frequency' and 'Phase' in line   :

       newline=(str(a)+';'+fields[0].strip()+';'+fields[1].strip()+';'+fields[2].strip()+';'+'\n')
       newline.replace(" ","")
       a=a+1
       print(newline)

       csv_file.write(newline)

       csv_file.close()

A: Create a bool variable called like should_process_line and process line iff this variable is True. Set it to True after you encounter 'Frequency' and 'Phase', set it to False after you encounter 'Peak interpolation'.
While we're at it, your newline generation could be rewritten as
newline = str(a) + ';'.join([x.strip() for x in fields])

The way it is in the question, your newline variable is not an str, but actually a tuple whose only element is a string you want. Also, adding '\n' in the end will be unnecessary, if you use
print(newline, file=csv_file)

print adds '\n' to the end of everything it prints anyway.


In the summer of 2015, broke and defeated after two years of failing at my first startup, I moved out of my Boston apartment and back home to Mom & Dad's. With the pressure of rent and food no longer plaguing me, I had time to reflect on the previous years from both a business and personal standpoint. Where did I go wrong? What could I have done better?
I decided to start reading and experimenting more with diet and exercise, maximizing productivity, improving my relationships, and bettering myself as a whole. I soon found out that one of those (diet!) drastically impacted all the others.
Through trial and error, I learned that eating whole plant foods and avoiding meat, dairy, and processed foods had me feeling invincible. As I gradually made a transition to becoming vegan, my life started to change.
Eat Green Make Green details entrepreneur Pat McAuley's life-changing experience with food and why he credits plants for his success. Pat explores the many benefits he experienced by adopting a vegan lifestyle and why you should too!


The importance of digital technology underpins most of the social, economic and political development goals of most donor countries and international organisations today. Cyber Security Capacity Building (CCB), an approach aimed at advancing, cultivating and encouraging growth and stability in developing countries through digitalization, seems set to play an increasingly important role in future foreign policy considerations and government programmes. In the NUPI project 'Cyber Security Capacity Building (2015-2016) we have mapped out concrete risks and challenges, proposed recommendations for dealing with them, and provided suggestions for implementing the adequate tools effectively. This policy brief presents a summary of the final report, which draws on project reports produced by NUPI related to this project.

Warren Sapp, one of the most dominant defensive tackles of all time and a lock for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, slammed Albert Haynesworth for being an overrated defensive tackle who was too lazy to live up to his $100 million contract with the Redskins or revive his career under Patriots head coach Bill Belichick.
Sapp, who now works as an analyst for NFL Network, was never onboard with Haynesworth's playing style from the beginning, and he didn't think Haynesworth deserved to be compared with some of the greatest defensive linemen who ever played the game. Sapp spoke with NESN.com on Tuesday after Haynesworth was released by the Patriots.
When Belichick gave Haynesworth a chance this season, Sapp figured he might be the only coach left who could get Haynesworth to increase his level of play after two disastrous years with the Redskins.
"If anybody can, [Belichick] can," Sapp told NESN.com. "The last thing you want to do is show up and be a turd that Belichick cuts. But that's what he was."
So, is Haynesworth's career over now that he's been cut by Belichick?
"Who picked Leigh Bodden up?" Sapp said of the former Patriots cornerback who hasn't been signed since getting released two weeks ago. "That's normally what happens. When the genius and the master says you're no good, the league always says, 'I agree with you.' A hundred million dollars couldn't motivate you, and neither could Bill Belichick. Who wants this challenge?"
Sapp pointed out the first five seasons of Haynesworth's career, in which he amassed 9.5 total sacks. Then, Haynesworth recorded 14.5 sacks in his next two seasons, when he was labeled the most dominant defensive player in football and signed a seven-year, $100 million contract with the Redskins in 2009.
Sapp said he's never thought highly of Haynesworth's playing style, noting his work ethic has never been in place for him to reach a level of greatness. So, when analysts mentioned Haynesworth with the likes of himself, Reggie White and some of the other all-time greats, Sapp was put off.
"A lazy guy playing the motor, defensive tackle position, and now you're the standard?" Sapp said. "It just didn't go together for me. I don't remember this guy playing like this, except when it was time to collect the contract. Don't go to his contract year. Go two years before the contract. Go three years before. He was a two-and-a-half sack guy for five years. You don't wake up and all of a sudden become the most dominant defender in the game. It doesn't happen overnight. But for some reason, for that guy, it did. I don't know if it was [former Titans head coach] Jeff Fisher's influence or [former Titans defensive line coach Jim] Washburn, but all of a sudden Haynesworth is the new Reggie White. I'm like, hold on a second. He went to Tennessee and wore No. 92. That's it. I don't want to hear this anymore."
Sapp said Haynesworth wasn't ever motivated enough to deserve to be in the conversation with the game's greats. He thought Haynesworth was simply happy with money.
"When your name gets mentioned with one of the great ones, you relish that opportunity," Sapp said. "You want to seize it. When they first mentioned my name with the great ones, I said, 'OK, how do I keep this going?' Because this sounds pretty good. This sounds great to me that I'm being mentioned with the Jerome Browns, the Cortez Kennedys, the Reggie Whites. I like those names. Come on with it. I don't think that ever motivated him. I don't think the greats of the game ever motivated him. I think it was a situation where he got a $100 million payday, and he was like, 'Oh, this is nice. I can run around in Bentleys and Rolls Royces and stuff.' The work was never there, so he had nothing to fall back on when all the smoke and mirrors went away. The smoke and mirrors did it, but it has to come down to work."
Sapp backed up that belief by pointing toward Haynesworth's historic courting in free agency. Sapp said the Buccaneers — his team for nine seasons — offered Haynesworth more money than the Redskins, but Haynesworth turned them down because Tampa wasn't a big enough market for him. Then, Sapp relayed a story from one of his friends, linebacker London Fletcher.
"London Fletcher was sitting [in the Redskins' locker room] one day, and the media was there," Sapp said. "Their lockers were side by side. And the media was talking to [Haynesworth] about this $100 million contract. I was like, 'Wow.' It's one thing to get a $100 million contract. It's another thing to try to collect it. That's the key to any contract is collecting it, not getting it. You've got to collect it in the NFL. They'll come to you after two years in the NFL and tell you they're renegotiating and those things. After the media left, he tapped London and said, 'Man, I just wish it was six years (to get more money per season).' That should show you what the man is. I never saw it in his play, so when I saw the money, I was like, you have an unmotivated guy who stepped on Andre Gurode's head. Stepped on his head in a football game. But now he's the first $100 million man? I was dumbfounded by it. I'm like, who was he in his first five years in Tennessee?
"So when Bill got him — I love Belichick, I love that defense, I love everything about the man — but you can't make a turd out of something that he's not. He's a turd. When you're sitting there beside London Fletcher who has more tackles than God and has Pro Bowls, and you've got just two? And you start talking about $100 million in six years instead of seven? Are you kidding me?"
Sapp, a Super Bowl champion and seven-time Pro Bowler, was asked if he has ever spoken to Haynesworth.
"No, because normally I'm at Pro Bowls and Super Bowls," Sapp said. "You have to be on a certain level to be around. Bill Russell said it best. Champions like to hang around with other champions."

Meaghan Bullied Her Friend Heres Her Story Of Redemption
Meaghan bullied her friend: Here's her story of redemption
Fifteen per cent of Canadian kids have taken part in cyberbullying. Meaghan is one of them. Today she shares her story of lasting consequences and the need for kindness online.
At 16, Meaghan Landry is well-spoken, thoughtful and responsible -- many of the best traits parents hope to instill in their children.
A past of bullying another kid online just doesn't seem to fit. But the Whitby, Ontario teen is the first to admit that she used to be a very different person. Four years ago, an angry young Meaghan paired up with her younger sister to fire a volley of messages at one of her schoolmates using an iPod. They called her names and told her she had no friends -- childish, but effective.
Meaghan understands now that the experience was the result of a misguided attempt to make herself feel better during a particularly bad time in her life. At the time, she herself was being bullied by girls at her school. She felt alone, depressed and very, very angry.
Meaghan's friend -- always smiling and happy in a way that was completely foreign to her -- was an easy target for those emotions.
"She had confidence, something I didn't have at the time," she says. "I envied her."
The email attacks eventually ended when the other girl told her sister about the emails and the sister confronted Meaghan. Meaghan's father took away her digital device as a result, but her anger towards the girl lingered.
Neither Meaghan, nor her sister apologized for the incident and the girls have never spoke again. Though, adds Meaghan, "Some days I will see her on the street and I'll just turn the other way and hope she doesn't see me."
In the years since, Meaghan has learned to channel her energy into helping others as a regular volunteer with Girls Inc., a local non-profit she credits with helping her to develop her own self-confidence. She works with the organization to help empower young women and girls in the community.
She volunteered to share her story with TELUS as part of her drive now to help kids choose kindness and compassion, and to allow them to better understand the power they hold in their mobile phones and other digital devices. TELUS has made it a priority to educate and empower children and teens on their roles and responsibilities as they navigate a highly connected world, and cyberbullying is a big part of the conversation.
Cyberbullying takes various shapes online, but name calling, or sending offensive or threatening messages to someone else is the most common form of cyber abuse. Spreading rumours, sharing personal or embarrassing information, photos or videos about someone else, hacking someone's account or creating fake accounts, trolling online forums and harassing players in an online game are also forms of cyberbullying.
TELUS recently launched a nationwide campaign to raise awareness of cyberbullying in Canada. The campaign kicked off on May 30 with an open letter from CEO Darren Entwistle asking Canadians to join the company in taking a stand against cyberbullying by taking the TELUS Wise Digital Pledge, an online movement to help create a safer, friendlier digital world. The campaign also includes a series of videos that tell the stories of those impacted by cyberbullying, including Meaghan's, at telus.com/endbullying.
Any kid with a digital device may be tempted to make the same mistake Meaghan did. And unfortunately, many do. The anonymity and ubiquity of today's technology that has helped to create the current state of cyberbullying -- where one million Canadian kids have been subjected to online abuse over the past month alone, and many more (60 per cent of teens and pre-teens) witnessing the harassment. Far fewer admit to cyberbullying others -- only 15 per cent say they've harassed someone online (a figure that jumps to 32 per cent among those who've been targets themselves of cyberbullying).
Even though Meaghan has never spoken a word to her former friend again, she likes to think that an apology to her is offered up each time she is able to speak about cyberbullying.
She wants other kids to understand that there are lasting consequences to cyberbullying -- to the person receiving the nasty messages, and those sending them.
"Everyone makes mistakes, but there are other ways to take out your anger. You can talk to someone about it. Buy a punching bag. Do something healthy. Don't bottle it up inside of you or take it out on someone else. You will regret it," she says.
The good news for Meaghan is that she feels much more comfortable with herself these days. She has friends, family and positive support systems around her.
She can also clearly see the path she wants to take in her life.
"I don't want to hurt anyone. I want to help people," she says.
