"Voices of Courage" campaign fights violence against women

Participants hold signs stating last year's "Voices of Courage" campaign themes after completing a hike. (Tiffany Turley)
Madison Fullmer, a sophomore at BYU, said she believes people should never be afraid to speak out against violence towards women. Fullmer is the campaign coordinator for this year's "Voices of Courage" campaign, conducted by Women's Services, an organization designed to aid and serve women.
"The goal of this campaign is that the very least, people are aware. Sometimes people don't feel they can be open about this kind of thing if it's happened to them," Fullmer said.
She said Voices of Courage is meant to help those who have been at the receiving end of violence.
"Our goal is that if it happens to you, you can get the help you need. It's not a sin to be abused or assaulted," Fullmer said. "People need to be aware and know it's okay to stand up for yourself or someone else who's gone through this."
Running from Jan. 30 until Feb. 6, this year's campaign promises many activities and programs including an art show, panel discussion, self defense workshop, service project and more.
Manager of Women's Resources, Tiffany Turley, said she hopes students will attend the scheduled events and really connect with the campaign. Her favorite event is the art exhibit, which features the theme, "Reflections of Courage."

"Students submit pieces of art on the topic of courage and these are all displayed in a nice, evening event at the Hinckley Center, complete with a dessert bar and jazz band," Turley said. "It's definitely a big highlight and probably my favorite campaign event because through the amazing pieces of art, you can see the courage and strength that the students of BYU have."
Voices of Courage is designed to engage men and women as allies in creating a culture of respect and non-violence, according to Turley. She said this campaign has been done in previous years at BYU, and has received positive feedback from students.
Associate Dean of Students and Title IX Coordinator, Sarah Westerberg, said she particularly enjoyed the 5K run done in previous years, and has worked closely with Turley on the project this year. Westerberg said the art exhibit has been excellent in the past as well.
One theme for the Voices of Courage campaign, according to Turley, is a quote by Brene Brown, "Every time we choose courage, we make everyone around us a little better and the world a little braver."
Turley said she hopes students will get involved and enjoy participating in this campaign by recognizing how being courageous and standing up against these issues will make BYU a safer, braver place.

Conclusive Proof that Waterboarding Played Vital Role in Killing of Usama aka Osama bin Laden.·
By Jim Wrenn, Editor, PoliSat.Com , PoliticalXray.Com .
May 9, 2011--
Many, if not most, commentators in the currently raging political debate over whether "waterboarding" played a vital role in the killing of Usama bin Laden, a.k.a. Osama bin Laden, ignore widely known, conclusive evidence on the issue. The issue has even spilled-over into the T-shirt industry, which is experiencing a huge boost in t-shirts (or tee-shirts) focusing on the killing of bin Laden in the special-forces mission in Pakistan by Navy SEALS commonly described by a since-replaced name, "SEAL Team Six" or "SEAL Team 6."
What is the indisputable "conclusive proof" that absent waterboarding, the United States would have been unable to accomplish that mission? It's long been known that among the training requirements for all U.S. Special Forces (such as SEALS) and all military combat pilots is the requirement that candidates for such military assignments endure waterboarding. Absent the intensely demanding nature of training which candidates for such assignments must successfully complete, we would not have any Special Forces or SEALS teams even remotely capable of performing such incredibly dangerous missions.
Critics of waterboarding tend to equate it with gouging-out eyes, pulling-out fingernails, cutting-off tongues, burning the skin with cigarettes, and other actions that cause physical harm. The purpose of waterboarding is to instill fear and to reduce the psychological will to resist interrogation. There are other ways to induce fear and/or reduce the will to resist: e.g., telling a prisoner that his failure to provide reliable information will result in his being turned-over to the "tender mercies" of interrogation agents of other governments less restrained by civility, an interrogator telling a prisoner that his being able to persuade the prisoner to reveal information would result in his being replaced with a completely ruthless interrogator, etc.. Virtually no one seriously argues that the mere making of such "threats" constitutes "torture."
Supporters of President Obama's order permitting the SEALS to kill bin laden implicitly recognize the principle of justified homicide in the context of confronting an enemy combatant leader of an organization at war with the United States. The legal concept of justified homicide rests on the moral relationship between means and ends. We're all familiar with the hackneyed phrase used to condemn opponents characterized as believing "the end justifies the means," but few such hackneyed phrases are used more illogically to promote opposition to an opponent's actions. The real issue in such contexts is whether a particular end justifies particular means. In the context of law enforcement, for example, a police officer reasonably believing a suspect known to be ruthlessly violent to be armed with a hidden weapon (e.g., an explosive device) or to be within reach of a lethal weapon has a legally justifiable basis for killing the suspect. It's a form of justified homicide. Yet such critics seem intellectually incapable of applying that same standard to interrogation of enemy combatants because they (such critics) refuse to recognize that particular circumstances may justify particular interrogation techniques (e.g., waterboarding) not deemd to be warranted under different circumstances. Thus, the question is, "Why can't such critics recognize the concept of 'justified' waterboarding" -- especially in the interrogation of enemy combatants whose very form of warfare violates every aspect of the international conventions on the scope of interrogation of lawful-combatant military personnel of nation-states by other nation-states. This is the question implicitly posed (and answered) by t-shirts (front-only and front & back) depicting "Osama's Last Words" before being (justifiably) shot by the SEALS.
There are other aspects of the SEALS mission yielding the death of Usama bin Laden that provide important moral insights into a contrast between the Western Civilization standards exemplified by such mission and the barbaric standards routinely exhibited by organizations such as al Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah, etc. The SEALS intentionally sought to avoid inflicting injury on children (and women) in the compound. Contrast that with the recent incident in Israel in which terrorists entered a private Israeli residence at night and slaughtered every member of the Israeli family-- including the slitting of the throat of a sleeping infant, which incident Gazan supporters of Hamas celebrated in the streets upon learning the news of such slaughter.

Q: Shared Counter Gives Different Value With Spinlocks I have the following code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <pthread.h>
#define THREAD_CNT 10
#define ITER 100
#define PRINT 1

int lock;
unsigned long long int counter;

void spin_lock(int *p) {
    while(!__sync_bool_compare_and_swap(p, 0, 1));
}

void spin_unlock(int volatile *p) {
    asm volatile ("");
    *p = 0;
}

void *exerciser(void *arg) {
    unsigned long long int i;
    int id = (int)arg;
    for(i = 0; i < ITER; i++) {
        spin_lock(&lock);
        counter = counter + 1;
        if(PRINT) {
            printf("%d: Incrementing counter: %llu -> %llu\n", id, counter-1, counter);
        }
        spin_unlock(&lock);
    }
    pthread_exit(NULL);
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    pthread_t thread[THREAD_CNT];
    counter = 0;
    int i;
    for(i = 0; i < THREAD_CNT; i++) {
        pthread_create(&thread[i], NULL, exerciser, (void *) i);
    }
    for(i = 0; i < THREAD_CNT; i++) {
        pthread_join(thread[i], NULL);
    }
    printf("Sum: %llu\n", counter);
    printf("Main: Program completed. Exiting.\n");
    pthread_exit(NULL);
}

When PRINT is defined as 1, I get the correct counter value at the end:
7: Incrementing counter: 996 -> 997
7: Incrementing counter: 997 -> 998
7: Incrementing counter: 998 -> 999
7: Incrementing counter: 999 -> 1000
Sum: 1000
Main: Program completed. Exiting.

If I make PRINT 0, I get the following (multiple runs):
$ ./a.out
Sum: 991
Main: Program completed. Exiting.
$ ./a.out
Sum: 1000
Main: Program completed. Exiting.
$ ./a.out
Sum: 962
Main: Program completed. Exiting.
$ ./a.out
Sum: 938
Main: Program completed. Exiting.

Any insight as to what's going on? Why is it that when I have the print statement enabled my results are (consistently) correct, but I disable it and my counter doesn't reach the target value? I've used pthread quite a bit but not very experienced with using spinlocks directly.
Any help or feedback is appreciated.

A: Your lock methods aren't actually doing anything: since arguments are passed by value, you're not actually testing/setting the value of your lock global. You're only changing the value of the copy of the variable your function gets.
If instead your spin_lock/spin_unlock methods took a pointer to the integer (i.e. &lock) to use then your code should work.
Your load bearing printf probably helps by causing some unintended synchonisation because printf is supposed to be threadsafe.

A Tragic Misunderstanding That Left A Navy Man Dead On His Neighbor's Porch
Criminal charges were recently dismissed. But a judge will decide whether prosecutors can still pursue a case that goes to the heart of Hawaii's self-defense laws.
By Brittany Lyte / May 20, 2019
Reading time: 8 minutes.
In the early morning darkness of April 15, 2018, Navy submariner John E. Hasselbrink lost his life to a bullet as he tried to break open his neighbor's front door.
After a night of drinking, Hasselbrink, 41, a chief petty officer at Joint Base Pearl Harbor Hickam, had mistaken his neighbor's door for the door to his own home. The men lived in a row of Ewa Beach townhouses where every building looks alike. His family believes an Uber driver had dropped him off at the wrong door.
While Hasselbrink was bashing his shoulder against the door and clattering the knob, 33-year-old Army veteran Gregory Farr was startled awake on the living room couch, according to court documents. It was 3:50 a.m. Afraid for his family's safety, Farr fired a single shot that pierced the locked door. Hasselbrink died on his back on Farr's front porch — two doors down from Hasselbrink's home.
It was a tragic misunderstanding with dramatic and irrevocable consequences for the men on both sides of the door.
Farr was initially charged with manslaughter and two counts of possession of an unregistered firearm. The indictment claims he acted recklessly when he fired his semi-automatic rifle and killed a man he believed to be an intruder.
But earlier this month a judge dismissed the charges, ruling that Farr's right to a speedy trial was violated in part because state prosecutors missed a deadline to submit evidence, according to court documents. In Hawaii, a case can be dismissed by the court if a trial is not commenced within six months of the charges being made.
On Tuesday, a judge is expected to decide whether prosecutors can refile the charges. The court has set the week of July 8 for a potential future trial.
Navy submariner John Hasselbrink was killed by a shot through the door of this Ewa Beach townhouse when he mistakenly tried to force his way in, thinking it was his own home. The attorney for neighbor Gregory Farr has argued his client acted in self-defense.
If there is a trial, it will scrutinize whether Farr acted in self-defense when he fired his gun.
The use of deadly force is permitted in Hawaii when a person has an honest and reasonable belief that he is in immediate danger of death or serious bodily injury — even if that belief is mistaken.
Ken Lawson, who teaches criminal law at the University of Hawaii William S. Richardson School of Law, said it's a tough case.
"Now we know that this guy pounding on the door wasn't trying to cause anyone any harm, he was just at the wrong house and he had been drinking and he's thinking he's locked out of his own home and he wants to get in," Lawson said.
"But then imagine it's you being woken up at 3 a.m. and there's a military guy pounding loud and hard on your front door and he's just not stopping?" he said. "That would scare the crap out of most people."
Pounding On His Door Put Farr On High Alert
This account of what happened on either side of the townhouse door is based on public records and interviews with legal experts and Hasselbrink's family.
It was Saturday night. Hasselbrink and his best friend had hopped in an Uber and hit the bars. Both Navy men had orders to deploy on Monday, according to Hasselbrink's family. But first, it was time to throw back a few drinks. Have some fun.
At the end of the night, the Uber dropped off Hasselbrink first. Hasselbrink mounted the stairs of the front porch and turned the front door knob. It wouldn't budge. So he started to pound.
Hasselbrink was in the habit of leaving his door unlocked because he had a friend who from time to time would show up and crash on his couch.
Navy submariner John E. Hasselbrink was set to deploy the next day when he was killed.
Contributed by the Hasselbrink family
On the other side of the door, there was a man asleep on the couch. But it wasn't Hasselbrink's friend. It was Gregory Farr, a neighbor, jolted awake by his dog barking and the racket at the front door.
"Hey," Farr shouted into darkness, according to his statement to police that is part of the court documents. "Who is it?"
No response.
"Hey! Who is it!"
Outside, Hasselbrink continued to push his shoulder against the door.
Farr, an Army veteran, went on high alert. Healing from ankle surgery three days prior, he crawled up the staircase, foot in cast, to retrieve his gun.
The commotion woke up his girlfriend. Farr flicked on a light and told her to call 911.
Rifle in hand, Farr positioned himself strategically on the stairway landing. From this vantage point, he could see Hasselbrink's face peering in through the window of the door, according to court documents.
"Hey!" he hollered, holding up the gun for the stranger to see.
Suddenly, Farr realized his daughter was not asleep in her room upstairs. She was sprawled out on a mattress just a couple of feet from the door.
With his ankle unable to carry his weight, Farr determined he wouldn't be able to move down the stairs fast enough to protect her if the door were to break open.
Farr aimed his rifle. He fired a single round through the door.
By the time police arrived at Farr's home, Hasselbrink was dead on the front porch.
Self-Defense Or Recklessness
No one disputes that Farr shot Hasselbrink.
But whether Farr's use of force fits within the terms of Hawaii's self-defense law is something that will go unresolved unless the court allows the prosecution to reinstate the charges.
In court documents, prosecutors question whether there is evidence to clearly establish that Farr acted in self-defense. Instead, prosecutors charge that Farr "recklessly" ended Hasselbrink's life.
Marcus Landsberg, Farr's attorney, says his client was "in terror" and was exercising his right to defend himself, his family and his home, according to court documents.
"He has never been in trouble with the law and received an honorable discharge after serving in the U.S. Army," Landsberg writes in a court filing. "To him, this indictment is devastating."
Both Landsberg and prosecuting attorney Wayne Tashima declined to comment for this story.
Farr declined to be interviewed for this story through his attorney.
Lawson said it's unusual for the court to dismiss a criminal case for a speedy trial violation — especially a case in which the victim was killed.
"If I was the victim's family, I would be upset because at least they would get to sit and hear in court exactly what happened to their loved one," Lawson said. "And even if it came back that it was done in self-defense, at least they had their day in court and there has been some level of justice that has been attempted to be achieved on behalf of the victim."
When Hasselbrink was a kid, he and his sister Pamela woke up suddenly in their beds to banging on the front door of their parent's house in California.
It was the middle of the night.
Hasselbrink's father ordered the kids to go back to bed. Then he opened the front door. Standing before him was a drunken man who had mistakenly stumbled home to the wrong door.
For Hasselbrink's sister Pamela Kellermann, this memory from childhood has helped solidify her judgment of Farr: He didn't have to shoot.
The Hasselbrink family — John E. Hasselbrink, second from left, with his father John Hasselbrink, left, niece Alexis Kellermann, sister Pamela Kellermann and mother June Hasselbrink, right — want the charges against Gregory Farr reinstated.
"You ask yourself, 'What would I do if I had been in his shoes?'" Kellermann said. "And it's the craziest thing because we really have been in his shoes. When it happened to my dad, he was a legal gun owner. He could have used force. But instead he went to the door and assessed the situation. He chose kindness instead."
Hasselbrink's family acknowledges that Hasselbrink lost his life in a great misunderstanding. It was a tragic mistake, the culmination of a series of unfortunate circumstances.
But Kellermann and her mother June Hasselbrink say they want the charges against Farr to be reinstated. They want Farr to face consequences for his choice to shoot his gun without knowing what was on the other side of the door.
But whatever happens, they know it won't change their devastating loss. Hasselbrink, an animal lover who liked to scuba dive and run marathons and barbecue and who always held open the door, is gone.
"There's no justice to this," Kellermann said. "Everyone loses."

Jemima Khan did not engage in act of bestiality, claims Jeremy Clarkson
Jeremy Clarkson has defended socialite Jemima Khan over rumours that she has taken out a super-injunction preventing the publication of intimate photographs of herself with an animal.
Clarkson claims to be very well acquainted with the Goldsmith heiress and believes that he knows all about the most private details of her love life.
Believing that this knowledge gives him a right to comment on the allegations, he made a public appearance to defend his close friend while also chastising the beast.
"I know that the animal itself is secretly loving all this," Clarkson said in a carefully worded statement. "I bet it started all these hideous rumours in the first place."
"But I can assure you all that they are a pack of lies and that Jemima just isn't the type to get off on that kind of inter-species intercourse."
The Top Gear presenter continued, "I've heard that there are people who are completely lacking in self-esteem and are so full of self-loathing that they could engage in an act of fornication with something so feral."
"But we shouldn't forget that Jemima was once married to Imran Khan who is definitely human and she dated Hugh Grant who shares approximately 99% of DNA with homo sapiens so I can't see her getting involved with any such creature." He added.
"Especially one that has yet to be classified by taxonomists."

Acting? This is the real thing
Times OnLine, November 25, 2002
by Robert Gore-Langton
For 'actor's actor' Roger Allam, starring with Gillian Anderson could finally be the making of him
AT FIRST appearances there appears to be a mismatch of glamour. When Gillian Anderson, radiant international star of the X-Files, takes to the London stage in What the Night is For her partner on stage is Roger Allam. He's the sort of self-effacing, slightly broke theatre actor who will take the bus home afterwards while Miss Anderson is being ferried about in a limo.
But Allam is one of British theatre's classiest acts — funny and self-effacing, a famously nice guy who has been showered with the sort of acclaim which should have made him the household name that he still isn't.
He's the ultimate "actor's actor". It's an epithet that makes him wince slightly. "It's a compliment, I suppose," he says. "There's nothing quite as precious as being appreciated by one's peers. I was very grumpy about going to the National recently but my arm was twisted by Trevor Nunn. It turned out to be a wonderful experience largely because a lot of the younger actors were so appreciative. But the negative thing about being an actor's actor is that it means no one knows who you are. You go for a film or a telly job and they haven't a clue."
Allam is now back on stage playing an American architect who meets up with an old flame (Ms Anderson) in a hotel room. Both have long been married to the wrong people and know it. What the Night is For is a grown-up now-or-never romantic drama written by the American writer Michael Weller, an old hand who, among a host of intelligent plays, did the screenplays for Hair and Ragtime, the 1981 film that brought James Cagney out of retirement.
"It's a naturalistic piece about two people yearning for a lost intimacy. It's not ironic which I like," says Allam. "I think Michael was inspired to write it because it'2s about this business of people contacting old flames on the internet. It's direct and emotional and it's a two-hander which I've never done before. Better still, I don't have to put on drag or wear a Hitler moustache."
Allam, 47, has been dressing up a lot lately. In Peter Nichols's Privates on Parade he was fabulous as a military theatre queen ("Ooh that Bernadette Shaw — what a chatterbox!"). Before that he was a frightfully charming Hitler (Adolf in sherry-and-a-chat mode) at the National Theatre in David Edgar's Speer. In this new play there's no fancy dress, just some mild semi-nudity. He says not to worry, his bare bottom will be tastefully covered by "a trailing plant or something".
The unknown quality in the play is Anderson. She was by all accounts terrific in Ayckbourn's Absent Friends in New York several years ago, but she is untried on stage here. According to Weller, they picked Allam because "you need a really first-rate stage actor who's sufficiently male to balance Gillian's appeal". In New York, apparently, it would have been much harder to cast the chap because all the manly talent has defected to Hollywood.
Allam's background is solidly Anglican. His father was vicar of St Mary Woolnoth, the Hawksmoor church celebrated by T.S. Eliot. At Manchester University young Roger took singing lessons from John Hargreaves at the ENO but abandoned the idea of being a professional opera baritone and went into the theatre. He joined the RSC in 1981, playing a huge variety of roles, touring and having a ball prior to a year's run in the RSC's Les Misérables.
But the film or big TV break, despite a litany of fine classical parts (his Benedick in Much Ado was for him a special joy), has never happened. "When I joined the RSC I was 26 and I thought 'Great, this is where I want to be.' Now I'm older and have a child (a little boy, with his actress partner Rebecca Saire) I wouldn't mind earning a bit more. But it's all about fluke. Patrick Stewart (another RSC actor) happened to be lecturing in Los Angeles on Shylock and the producer of Star Trek was in the audience. Next thing you knew he was auditioning for Captain Picard and the rest is history."
Allam would surely have made a terrific Klingon (his line in baddies is second to none) but how about being Picard himself? He tried as it turns out. "I had an audition for one of the Star Trek films. I gritted my teeth and thought 'I'll never have to worry about money ever again.' Then reality kicked in. I didn't get close!" Instead Allam decided to go boldly back to the stage where his most recent work — his award-winning performance in Privates on Parade at the Donmar Warehouse — won huge critical acclaim but was seen by few people.
"Yes, it's one of the problems with small theatres like the Donmar and the Almeida, they're wonderful places to work, icons of fashionabilty and all that, but it's very exclusive. You can't get in. Plus these places only function if we actors get low wages. The tragedy is that there's no ticket equivalent of what there was when I was young. I went to see Olivier in The Merchant of Venice for 15 pence." Allam's commitment to large-scale work at the RSC and National stems from a belief that theatre should be big and should be available.
"Anyone who says the seat prices don't make a difference should go to one of the theatres where they have a cheap night on a Monday. The places are heaving. It's interesting that Olivier, a conservative figure in many ways, was absolutely supportive of the notion that subsidy subsidised seat prices. That's gone now. Today it's all about charging the market rate. The market rate cuts people off from the experience."
The old days are evoked for Allam every time he steps on to the stage at the Comedy Theatre where his new play shortly opens. This is the building in which he nearly killed his hero Paul Scofield. He was working as a student in the fly tower and nearly dropped a scenery flat on the great man's head (Scofield was in Christopher Hampton's Savages at the time).
But now it's Allam's turn to hog the limelight there. As he gets up to rehearse the bedroom scene, there is a burst of enthusiasm. "I can't give up acting," he says. Why not? "I can't do anything else. I'm working with Gillian Anderson. I'm making a living. You can't complain, you really can't."

Designed and maintained by Linda Green


I called him on Friday last week, with no response to my message. I cut people a lot of slack, but sometimes it's evident when a company does not want your business. It's a shame, since they have great products.
Just goes to show ANYONE can BUY a business, but not EVERYONE knows how, or has the time to RUN a business. Email and phone communication is a MUST.
I've bought from RLS in the past, but I don't and won't beg any business to take my money.
and i thought christmas was some kinda big thing for white people?
i purchased a belt from RLS which has bounced back to them. after my phone call with Jay 18 hours ago, he located the part right away and has dropped it off immediately to his nearest post office and emailed me a tracking at his own costs and my location is the Far East.
now i don't know Jay personally, but i will thank him for making things right no matter whose fault it is.
i will continue to buy from RLS in the future.
freshyip dude, your comment is too harsh and prejudice.
Hope you brought tons of parts from RLS and some were CF from me.
Austin runs RLS now. And my complaint rests with his Lack of communication. And yes. Ive been waiting for a part for 3 months now. So i have every single right to be annoyed ESPECIALLY when Austin doesnt reply to emails.
This was my first time trying to use RLS, and my last. What's wrong with the folks? It ain't Christmas that is the problem here!
Jay is the co-owner of RLS and has been a silent partner to date. I provide RLS office and warehouse space.
or get updates, this is not how successful businesses operate and this is not how RLS will operate going forward.
answered the call or returned their call within 24 business hours. Orders that were ready were shipped yesterday and this morning.
A few partial order were also shipped (note side scoop air ducting is back ordered).
and I will help with whatever you need.
This is a shame. I bought some side mirrors from Thomasio last year which completely eliminated the blind spots in my Evora. I've been recommending them to anyone that will listen, but I can't keep doing that if RLS has become this unreliable. I hope the new owners are reading this thread.
Thanks for the update, Jay.
The new owners are reading this thread and there are 8 pairs of the mirrors for Evora in inventory.
I also have the ExtendedView mirrors on my Exige.
Not my experience but happy he responded to you timely. Kevin on the other hand was very responsive.
Aluminum is veeeeery difficult to wield.

So PayPal came through and refunded my money today. I just got back on today and saw that Rev5252 posted his number so at least someone there is making an effort. I am sorry that I did not check back sooner but I am surprised that no one at RLS responded to PayPal's inquiry. As a business owner myself, it sounds like you may need a new partner!
Did you guys contact Jay?
RLS is stocking up parts for sure.
All I had was the information from the website so I don't know Jay. I used the site contact information on the web to inquire about status. I only thought of coming here after contacting PayPay for the dispute to check to see if anyone else had dealings with RLS and if I was alone or if others had had the same experience.
Still seems to be a problem, with another thread started.


This is a finished (finish sanded, and black gloss painted) solid walnut handle/tote and front knob that is designed to fit vintage Stanley Bailey type planes No. 3 & 4 and some others as well. Stanley sold planes during the World War II period that were black painted hardwood due to the shortage of imported wood like rosewood. Each is in very good condition with no damage or cracks, formed and with holes drilled. Stanley did change their totes and knob size and shape slightly over the years, so these are made to fit Stanley planes with the taller knob or plane types made after 1907. This handle is .99" thick x 4.25" high x 3.0" long at the base, and the knob is 2.5" tall x 1.5" diameter at the widest point. Price is per one tote handle and knob. As you can see the clearance holes and counter-bores are in each handle and knob, ready to bolt onto your plane using the original hardware/screws. We also have plane knobs, and other types of replacement handles for planes and antique hand drills etc. at this website.

MLK Day Detroit 2012: March for Justice!
Here is a slide show of photos I took at Monday's MLK Day rally and march in Detroit. Veteran women SNCC freedom fighters were honored at the rally held at the historic Central United Methodist church. Occupy Detroit also received recognition and a standing ovation. A march followed which included a well attended socialist contingent. Later in the day folks from Detroit and around the state marched on Governor Snyder's mansion in the hills above Ann Arbor to protest the states assault on local black government through corporate 'Emergency Managers' . That part of the county has probably never seen so many people of color. Despite the gloomy January skies, the weather was surprisingly warm for a Michigan winter. It was a joy to bring a little of the class war to the doorsteps of white, ruling class power in Michigan. A good day.
Tommy McKearney was born in 1952 to family with a long tradition in the Irish republican movement and raised in Moy, County Tyrone in the north of Ireland. When the insurrection against the Orange State and British rule broke out in the early 1970s Tommy, like so many of his generation and background, joined the Provisional Irish Republican Army. Tommy became a leading member of the IRA in his native Tyrone in the 1970s. The McKearney family paid a terrible price in the war; three of Tommy's brothers, Sean, Padraig and Kevin, were killed in the course of the Troubles.
To help foster that debate, Tommy helped to found and co-edited the highly respected journal Fourthwrite (now an online publication). A socialist and an internationalist, Tommy has since become an organizer of the Independent Workers Union, which seeks to organize Irish workers north and south, native-born and immigrant, outside of the duplicitous 'Social Partnership' arrangements between the mainstream trade unions and the capitalist Irish government. In 2011 Tommy published a highly regarded book, The Provisional IRA From Insurrection to Parliament, on Pluto Press. In the book Tommy follows the path of the Provisional movement, analyzes its strengths and weaknesses, its history and aims all the while seeking to promote a working class alternative to the current cul-de-sac republicanism in Ireland has found itself in. Unfortunately, reactionary visa restrictions prevent Tommy from visiting the United States, so a book launch here has not been possible. However, all those involved or interested in the Irish revolution and the Irish solidarity movement in the US would do well to read Tommy's work. The book is now available in shops in the United States and online.
Q: For many years Ireland was a country that workers emigrated from, since the late 1990s the trend was in the opposite direction with immigrants coming to Ireland. Recently, with Ireland's severe economic crisis, emigration in again plaguing Ireland's young. What's happening with immigrant rights in Ireland? What has the return of emigration meant?


In a recentblog post, I addressed the fact that, as insane as it sounds, stress is actually attractive to us on a subconscious level. Now that you're aware of that fact, it's also important to become aware, on a conscious level, of the fact that we are encouraged to be stressed.
We've all heard the expression, "No pain, no gain." Have you ever stopped and thought about what that means? In order to acquire anything you want, you will have to hurt for it.


There was no scary ending to the month of October with markets in general playing it cool ahead of a busy week of data releases, central bank meetings and what is turning out to be a fairly dramatic US presidential election.
David Bowie's Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps) would have been a perfect title for a Halloween night with Metallica's Creeping Death a pretty morbid alternative too! In the end there was no scary ending to the month of October with markets in general playing it cool ahead of a busy week of data releases, central bank meetings and what is turning out to be a fairly dramatic US presidential election.
The only scary move from the overnight session was the sharp drop in oil prices with WTI down 3.9% and Brent-4.1%. There is a growing sense of scepticism that OPEC will be able to achieve a pullback in production with talks over the weekend failing to provide a concrete agreement to cut production.
Friday's risk off mood from the Clinton's email saga failed to gained momentum overnight with equity markets seemingly airing on the side of caution as we wait for more news. European equities fell at the open, reflecting Friday's drop in US equities, but proceeded to trade sideways with energy stock underperforming as oil prices took a dive. Meanwhile US equities have swang in and out of positive territory and look set to end the day practically unchanged.
The cautious mood was also evident in currencies with all G10 pairs barring GBP recording modest moves against the USD. News that BoE Governor Carney will extend his time in office, following conflicting reports over the past couple of days lifted Cable back above the 1.22 mark. In a letter to Chancellor of the Exchequer, Carney said that he will extend his time in office by a year to 2019 to guide the economy through Britain's split from the European Union. After briefly trading down to 0.7583, the AUD is currently trading at 0.7611 and is the second best performingG10 currency, up 0.13% over the past 24 hr. NZD is little bit softer, down 0.17% and after fleetingly trading with a 105 handle, USD/JPY is little change at ¥104.80.
As for data releases, both European advance CPI and GDP printed in line with expectations (core CPI 0.8% yoy and GBP 1.6% yoy) while US data releases were mixed. Chicago PMI disappointed dropping to 50.6 from 54.2, personal income rose 0.3% in September in line with expectations while spending rose top 0.5%, a tenth above consensus. Finally, the core deflator was in line with forecats, rising 0.1% and leaving the yoy rate unchanged at 1.7%.
We have an action packed day today with China's official October manufacturing and non-manufacturing PMIs out at midday followed by the Caixin manufacturing PMI forty five minutes later. The BoJ policy announcement could come any time after midday and then at 2:30 pm we have the RBA Board Meeting where most including ourselves expect the Bank to stand pat. Tonight, Europe has a quiet day and the US gets the October ISM manufacturing survey.
Although the RBA is widely expected to remain on hold this afternoon with the market pricing a 5% probability of a rate cut and most economists including NAB's tipping a no change, the post meeting statement will be closely scrutinised for any signs of an easing bias, particularly given the low core inflation print in Q3 and the disappointing September labour force report which showed a trend slowdown in the rate of employment growth. So the risk is the RBA steps up its dovish rhetoric, the market is pricing just 12bps of rate cuts over the coming year and a month ago pricing was at 22bps, suggesting there is scope for repricing. Similarly the AUD could come under some pressure, however a break below the 0.745-0.775 range held since July this year looks unlikely to be tested.
As for the BoJ a no change to the bank's policy setting is unanimously expected, however the market will be looking to see if the inflation target gets pushed further out in time.
Moving on to the US, consensus forecast suggest the ISM manufacturing should print at 51.7 just marginally above the 51.5 seen in September. The message from regional surveys has been rather mixed, but the marked rebound in the new orders component (55.1 from 49.1) in last month's survey suggests there is potential for an upside surprise.
On global stock markets, the S&P 500 was -0.10%. Bond markets saw US 10-years -0.18bp to 1.83%. In commodities, Brent crude oil -4.36% to $48.47, gold+0.1% to $1,279, iron ore +0.7% to $64.38. AUD is at 0.761 and the range since yesterday 5pm Sydney time is 0.7599 to 0.7614.

Coming Up to Speed on Beef Demand
Anyone who has listened to a CattleFax presentation in the previous 12 months will recognize the confluence of factors that were deemed to be the market's "perfect storm". Prices for beef, pork and poultry were elevated due to tight per capita supplies and stronger demand.
by Marcus Brix, CattleFax
Anyone who has listened to a CattleFax presentation in the previous 12 months will recognize the confluence of factors that were deemed to be the market's "perfect storm." Prices for beef, pork and poultry were elevated due to tight per capita supplies and stronger demand. Intuition would say higher prices should lead to demand destruction, yet since all of the competing meats were facing limited supplies, customers were willing to pay more for what was available. Retail beef demand increased 7 percent year over year in 2014 with a record-high annual average all-fresh retail price of price of $5.60 per pound. Fed cattle prices averaged $154 per hundredweight in 2014, which was up substantially from $126 in 2013. CattleFax estimates the feedlot sector made profit of roughly $200 per head at this price level. While both supply and demand were very supportive to profits last year, there is still an important piece missing from this discussion.
Cattle feeding is a margin business. The concept of cattle feeding is simple: buy a young steer or heifer, provide a high energy ration to grow them in size, and sell them when they're at or close to slaughter weight. The cattle feeder is a price taker when selling their fed animals because of their location on the demand chain. The primary demand level in the beef industry is the consumer, they make the decision how much beef gets eaten and therefore how much beef the retailer needs to stock. The retailer demands product from the packer at the wholesale level. The beef processor's need for supply becomes fed cattle demand and the feedlot is their supplier. It can be a tough market as there are a very limited amount of processors with which to negotiate price. There is limited amount of profit that can be squeezed out of the supply chain, and whoever has the leverage can collect a greater portion of that profit. In 13 of the last 25 years, poor leverage has actually lost the cattle feeder money, sometimes more than $5 per hundredweight on closeout prices. Very tight supplies of fed cattle typically lead to a strong leverage position for the cattle feeder, and this past year was a perfect example.
Leverage can be observed as a ratio of fed cattle price minus the drop credit, divided by either the beef cutout or retail beef price. Expressed as a percentage since 1990, the cattle feeder has received 22.4 percent of retail beef price for fed cattle. In the last year that ratio stretched to near record levels, averaging 24.7 percent. An additional 2.3 percent may not seem overwhelming, but on a per hundredweight measure that means $11.21 of the $28 per hundredweight year-over-year increase can be attributed to the cattle feeder holding more leverage. To put that in perspective, demand for fed cattle was up 16 percent in 2014 and the demand contribution to fed cattle prices only totaled $10.06 hundredweight.
As mentioned earlier, tight cattle supplies are favorable to the cattle feeder's leverage position. In 2014, steer and heifer slaughter declined by 1.3 million head, the largest single year decrease since 2004 and the last case of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE). The current forecast for slaughter in 2015 is down another 350,000 head with the largest declines in the first half of the year. It's not until 2016 that slaughter should begin to increase year-over-year, thus a more established expansion. Thanks greatly in part to favorable weather in the plains regions, 2014 was a strong beginning to the expansion phase. The beef cycle, which historically peaks every 10 years or so, has entered the transition into a larger beef cow inventory. CattleFax data on beef cow slaughter, heifer retention, and the steer to heifer slaughter mix were the first signals that markets had entered expansion. The most recent USDA cattle inventory data released in January 2015 confirmed our beliefs and showed an increase of 600,000 beef cows, similar to the rate of expansion during the start of the 1990s expansion era. In the upward transition years, our current stage in the cycle, feedlot profits become larger. As the cow herd declined from 2010 to 2013, cattle feeders lost about $32 per head annually, then recovered losses in 2014. As the expansion nears its peak, feedlot profits slow to a neutral level.
Beef production will remain lower in the early years of the expansion phase. Current forecasts for annual beef production in 2015 totals 260 million pounds, a 1.1 percent decline. Our estimate for total meat production, however, is higher by 2.1 percent due to rapid production gains on the competing meat side. Both pork and poultry producers underwent their own expansion in 2014, and expansion in those industries greatly outpaces expansion in the cattle industry. This year's forecasts are placing pork production up 2.4 percent at 540 million pounds and poultry production up 3.7 percent at 1.6 billion pounds. CattleFax also estimates, per capita, U.S. residents ate 199 pounds of red meat and poultry in 2014. That number is expected to increase to 204-206 pounds in 2015. With leftover trade disruptions from the resolved west coast port strike, and China/Hong Kong banning U.S. poultry imports, there is a lot of excess competing meat volume that the market will need to absorb, potentially between 500 and 950 million pounds. Stable demand for pork and poultry would result in deep price discounts for those meats. The cross-price elasticity for beef suggests price cuts for competing meats affects the price of beef very little, yet as the price ratios get too far out of balance the substitution effect must eventually come into play.
CattleFax currently estimates retail beef prices to average around $5.90 per pound in 2015 and fed cattle prices to average slightly higher year-over-year at $155 per hundredweight. With slaughter projected lower again this year, the cattle feeder should remain comfortable from a leverage position. The ratio thus far in 2015 suggests we will average around 24.2 percent of the retail price, down 0.5 percent from last year. Lastly, even with very large meat supplies from competing industries, expect fed cattle demand to remain stable throughout this year.
