Frank Fina was the prosecutor in the AG's office responsible for the Sandusky investigation, which took more than 2 years to complete.
In 2012, Kathleen Kane runs for PA AG. Her main platform was that the handling of the Sandusky investigation was improper. Fina, who ran the Sandusky investigation, was forced to work under Kane once she became AG. Awkward.
A year into Kane's investigation of the Sandusky matter, she announced that she had obtained access to a ton of public officials' and attorneys' These emails were later discovered to have tons of inappropriate materials in them, including pornography, sent by individuals as influential as state supreme court justices.
Days later, Fina requested an injunction against the release of those emails.
The Inquirer soon after reported on Kane's failure to prosecute charges of political corruption and bribery, which had been investigated by Fina. Many believed Fina to be the Inquirer's source for the story, indicated retribution on his part.
Possibly in an act of revenge, The Daily News ran a story stating that Fina had failed to prosecute a similar criminal matter properly. The problem was that the one of the sources used in this story was leaked grand jury information, and such a leak is illegal. Kane was the presumed source of the leak.
Six months later, Kane leaked some of the "porngate" emails, resulting in a mass exodus of government employees who had been implicated.
Charges were filed against Kane for the grand jury leak, and her law license was suspended by the state supreme court. The case is still pending.
What's Porn Got To Do With It?
Maybe Attorney General Kathleen Kane is incompetent, in over her head…and the target of an ol' boys' network
A few weeks ago, I was at a dinner party and the talk turned to the soap opera-like headlines surrounding our embattled attorney general Kathleen Kane. This was a civically engaged crowd; the people in attendance were readers of the New York Times and listeners of NPR. Yet, interestingly, nobody could quite summarize this tawdry tale. Key words and phrases filled the air: "leaking grand jury testimony," "porn" and "misogyny" among them. Hazily, the prevailing media picture emerged: Our chief law enforcement officer was kinda loopy, an embittered woman threatening to reveal her enemies' pornographic emails in an "if I go down, we all go down" narrative. Despite the fact that many were talking about Kathleen Kane as the political equivalent of the deranged Glenn Close character in the film Fatal Attraction, nobody could really take a step back and describe the story. Why had a duly elected attorney general been charged with crimes and had her license to practice law revoked by an overstepping Supreme Court? And what does that have to do with all these porn emails we keep hearing about?
Hell, I was among the confused. I've been having a tough time keeping it all straight. But last night, the Inquirer broke a story about emails sent in 2013 by Sandusky grand jury Judge Barry Feudale to Inquirer reporters Angela Couloumbis and Craig McCoy. Suddenly, things became a lot clearer. In these emails, Feudale was reportedly critical of Kane while heaping lavish praise on then-prosecutor Frank Fina, the man behind the Sandusky prosecution and Kane's nemesis. "Fina is the real deal," the judge wrote. "Brilliant mind, photographic memory, fierce but ethical advocate." The Inquirer quotes an unnamed source as describing the emails as documenting "a conspiracy between Feudale and Fina" to leak information to the Inquirer. Just based on last night's Inquirer story, the relationship between Feudale and Fina—a judge and a prosecutor—does seem especially cozy and, potentially, a kind of confirmation of one of the things Kathleen Kane has long maintained: That there is an ol' boys' network at play in the Commonwealth, and it's one with which she has had to contend since the day she took office.
I've been going back and reading the daily drumbeat of the Kane stories for weeks now. I am by no means an expert on this case; in fact, the further you dive in, the more inexpert you feel. It's like being lost in a John Grisham novel, if John Grisham wrote about middle-aged state employees who shared raunchy porn via their work computers.
But what emerges from the totality of the record is this likely conclusion: As has become conventional wisdom, Kathleen Kane was undoubtedly in over her head after her improbable rise from county prosecutor to the state's top law enforcement official in her first run for political office in 2012. After a first year of glowing headlines, Kane's inexperience caught up with her. She has been exposed as politically challenged and lacking in judgment. And, as her blood feud with Fina at the heart of this story deepened, she has seemed blinded by seeking revenge—without possessing the political sleight-of-hand talents to deftly perform the act.
Diving into Porngate is like being lost in a John Grisham novel, if John Grisham wrote about middle-aged state employees who shared raunchy porn via their work computers.
But what also seems clear is that, at the same time, Kane has been targeted by an old boys' network that may have been bent on destroying her. Both things, in other words, can be true: Kane wasn't ready to serve…and a cabal of enemies were dedicated to seeing that she didn't.
Here are the pertinent facts to keep in mind that, taken together, lead to such a conclusion:
Kane ran against the office she sought to lead. As a candidate, Kane charged that the previous attorney general, then-Governor Tom Corbett, had dragged his feet on the case against child molester Jerry Sandusky due to political concerns. She promised to "investigate" the office's investigation of Sandusky. A month after being sworn in, she did just that, hiring former prosecutor H. Geoffrey Moulton to look into why the Sandusky probe had taken more than two years to complete.
It was star state prosecutor Fina who had led the Sandusky probe. It's likely that Fina and others in the office—Kane inherited a staff of over 700 employees—weren't thrilled at having their professionalism publicly questioned by someone campaigning to be their boss. Especially a woman who, by the way, didn't have their level of experience; in fact, Kane had spent the last few years as a stay-at-home mom, not even practicing law. Now here she was, proclaiming the one thing that cuts true believer prosecutors to the quick: That, far from impartially seeking justice, they'd been playing politics.
Both things can be true: Kane wasn't ready to serve…and a cabal of enemies were dedicated to seeing that she didn't.
Kane signaled she was in possession of the porn. For a year, there was no word on Moulton's investigation. Then, in February of 2014, Kane called a press conference to announce that Moulton's work had been stalled because the attorney general's IT department had been unable to find all the necessary emails covering the period of the Sandusky probe. But, she said, that was no longer the case. They had now recovered all emails sent and received by the prosecutors in her office, including while Corbett was AG.
Why is this significant? Kane might not have known it, but at that moment she raised a red flag: Countless insiders in the Harrisburg legal and political universe now knew that she had access to their porn emails.
That's how it's commonly referred to in the press: Porngate. Actually, by most accounts, the emails that a whole lot of judges, prosecutors and staffers had spent months and, in some cases, years sending to one another went far beyond mere porn. I've only read accounts of them, but words like "misogynistic" and "racist" have most often been attached. There are images of bestiality, and "jokes" about secretaries performing oral sex that seem straight out of the Mad Men era. Full disclosure: I like comedy that works blue, but the descriptions of this material offends even my comedic sensibilities. We rely on judges and prosecutors for their judgment, and they giggle like pimply teens over this stuff?
Once Kane announced she had all these emails, Fina and the other men who had spent so much time bonding over this material on the taxpayer dime had to know she had something on them. Within days, Fina requested and received a court order to prevent the release of any emails connected to the Sandusky review.
The empire strikes back? A few weeks later, the Inquirer ran a page one story detailing how, in the fall of 2013, Kane had refused to prosecute a sting operation Fina had run that included video of local and state officials taking bribes. It was a devastating story for Kane, making her look soft on political corruption. Many assumed that Fina was the source of the Inquirer story; Fina denies it.

But Kane was certain Fina was behind the Inquirer story about her. She maintains that he was motivated by a desire to destroy her so the porn emails in her possession would never surface. In the state's criminal complaint against her, Kane's political consultant, quotes her as saying, "This is war" against Fina. (Fina had by now left the AG's office and was a prosecutor in Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams' office.)
I know you are but what am I? In June, 2014, the state alleges, Kane attempted her revenge. The Daily News ran a story about a case in which it appeared that the state's prosecutors—Fina, of course, and E. Marc Constanza—went soft on a criminal matter of their own, an investigation into the affairs of the late civil rights activist Jerry Mondesire. Only trouble was that this story—unlike the one about the sting case—required the leaking of grand jury information…which is a crime.
Kane denies that she instructed anyone on her staff to break the law. Was Kane so blinded by the need to exact revenge on Fina that the Commonwealth's chief law enforcement official intentionally broke the law herself? Or did someone on her staff set her up? To this day, Kane is estranged from many of her employees—including even her first deputy, Bruce Beemer—who not only are not loyal to her, but actively dislike her for getting elected by essentially saying they sucked at their jobs. The criminal complaint makes clear that staffers of hers contend she told underlings to leak the story to the Daily News. But are they staffers with whom she'd been doing battle? Did they perhaps send the leak themselves, and let her take the blame?
And what about Fina? Could her arch enemy have brilliantly set a trap and lured Kane into a feud that eventually led her to break the law? After all, even before the Daily News story appeared, when reporters were merely making calls about the Mondesire case, it was Fina who went to Montgomery County judge William Carpenter, who oversees eastern Pennsylvania grand juries, and tipped him off that a grand jury leak had likely occurred. There would be nothing illegal about that on Fina's part. "Well played, sir," Machiavelli would say.
This is where the public record goes opaque. Ultimately, only a trial or a special prosecutor with subpoena power might be able to determine which scenario is most accurate.
Back to the porn. In September of 2014, six months after the Inquirer story chronicling Kane's decision not to prosecute the corruption case, and three months after the Daily News' Mondesire story, Kane released a sampling from the more than 1,000 sexually explicit emails and videos uncovered by Moulton's investigation. There were two firings, two resignations and 23 attorney general employees reprimanded. Many others were swept away in Porngate, including Supreme Court Justice Seamus McCaffery, state Secretary of Environmental Protection Chris Abruzzo, and state Police Commissioner Frank Noonan.
Last fall, the Supreme Court seemed to go back to old boys' network central casting when it hired former Commonwealth Court Judge Robert Byer to examine the emails. When it came to the emails of Supreme Court Justice Michael Eakin, Byer found only one containing "offensive sexual content." The Judicial Conduct Board also essentially cleared Eakin by declaring the emails then in question only "mildly pornographic." A new batch of emails released by Kane, however, shows they were far raunchier and more inappropriate than that.
Last week, the Inky's Couloumbis and McCoy wrote that, by continuing to release the sordid emails, Kane has "proved the merit of a well-worked political adage: when in trouble, change the subject." They go on to write: "Her critics say the porn furor is irrelevant to her pending criminal trial."
That's sort of the animating question, isn't it? Kane says the "porn furor" is far from irrelevant to the charges against her. She argues that a conspiracy against her stems from her opponents' realization that they needed to destroy her before she could ruin their careers by releasing the offending emails. Given the sheer volume and breadth of these emails, and given just how many names in the statewide legal community are reportedly on them, and given the way judicial powers-that-be seem unwilling to police their own, is there are any doubt that an old boys' network certainly exists in Harrisburg?
The Supreme Court went back to old boys' network central casting when it hired former Commonwealth Court Judge Robert Byer to examine Justice Eakin's emails and he found only one containing "offensive sexual content."
Of course, it's tougher to prove any coordinated effort to set Kane up. Because what is also undeniable is that…
Kane has been her opponents' best ally. Time and again, Kane has made decisions that play right into her opponents' hands. The examples of weirdness are too numerous to cover (like sending her twin sister as a decoy to court to distract the press), but here is just a sampling:
At one point, she requested a meeting with the Inquirer brass, only to show up with the legendary lawyer (and frequent Inquirer foe) Richard Sprague in tow. She didn't speak during the very meeting she had requested. It read like an amateur's attempt at intimidation. Or, at the very least, the most tone deaf political move imaginable.
She has called for the release of the porn emails when, apparently, it was in her power to release them all along, making it look like she favored transparency while still hoarding material from public view.
In an odd juxtaposition for someone supposedly taking on a cabal of sexist men, Kane named Jonathan Duecker as her chief of staff despite the fact that her own human resources department wanted to fire him after two female coworkers accused him of sexual harassment.
Finally, in a rambling public statement in August after she was charged, Kane awkwardly took the opportunity to address her young sons in a Knute Rockne-like pep talk that seemed either like a manipulative appeal to jury pool emotion or just tone deaf and weird. "If this is the way I have to communicate with my sons before I can see them tomorrow, then I'm going to do it," she said, before addressing them. "…I know, I mean, you're my sons and I know you have compassion for other people and that you feel it's as much about justice as I do. And while no one would blame you if you bypass the fight, I hope that you stay in it because I am staying in it. I love you boys and I'll see you tomorrow."
Of course, none of this means Kathleen Kane is guilty, or not guilty. She may just be weird, or she may have just come up against a much more skilled political player. Will we ever know? The flood of emails have made one thing clear: Whether Kathleen Kane is guilty or not, the old boys' network is vast and healthy throughout the Commonwealth.
Former Supreme Court Chief Justice Ron Castille called this week for the Court to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate Porngate. But after reading through the record, it's hard to have confidence that the Pennsylvania judicial system will ultimately paint a definitive picture of this entire baffling story. That's why the Obama Justice Department needs to appoint a special prosecutor to look at the whole enchilada: Kane, Fina, the leaks, the emails…everything but Kane's kids, who emerge as the only normal people in the whole sordid story.

Honey, Council Shrunk The Mayor


It's no secret some might characterize the art industry as a silver fox…but that is changing! More and more young people are taking on leadership. Two such "young people", Anna Peters and Hilary Pope of Art Coop, share what it means to co-own a business, daily challenges and rewards, and their vision for the store's future.
Art Coop, a 3,000 square foot store located in the Champaign-Urbana area of Illinois, has been owned and operated by local artists since 1971. Specializing in art, architectural, photographic and craft supplies, Art Coop has a long-standing reputation of expertise within the "Chambana" community. As of last year previous owners Knut and Susan retired. Anna took up the mantle, shortly followed by Hilary.
New owners, yes, but by no means new to the art world. Anna has been in the industry for over twelve years, starting out as a clerk at Art Coop while at university. After graduation and a brief stint in Pittsburgh where she managed an Artist & Craftsman, she returned to Art Coop and began to take on more responsibility. Art Coop co-owner Hilary has a background in graphic design and moves in the same artistic circles as Anna. They were "buds" before they were partners. Their partnership is strengthened by their friendship and their collaborative artistic endeavors on the side. Anna (AP) and Hilary (HP) kindly spent over an hour with me to shed light on how they work together and what makes Art Coop tick.
The moment the AP & HP officially became business partners, paperwork signed!
Art Dog: How did you two initially begin working at Art Coop?
AP: I started working at the Art Coop in August of 2007. I had two friends who worked here previously. I started out as a clerk, and after I managed an Artist & Craftsman in Pittsburgh, I came back with way more managerial experience than before. Knut retired at the end of 2017, I bought his share of the business, then Susan retired and I bought the other half. Hilary and I got ourselves organized, she bought the other half and now we are together! I knew Hilary through friends of friends, her partner is an art teacher, I offered her a position initially and that's how we began to work together.
HP: Art Coop is legendary; you don't apply. You get invited. I am a townie, so I grew up here and have always been in awe of the Art Coop. When Anna reached out, I had just finished my degree in graphic design and I needed a job. It worked out perfectly.
Art Dog: What are your artistic backgrounds outside of Art Coop?
AP: I have two bachelor's, one in Graphic Design, one in New Media. Hilary and I are both practicing artists. The past few months we've been a tiny bit overwhelmed trying to get the Art Coop to run without constant babysitting. But lately both of us have been making collages, I do embroidery. We're part of a group called the Screaming Fridas, a feminist artist collective. It's a way to do stuff without so much pressure, we get together and make things. We grew up in "it" (the local art scene) and now we've inherited "it." We can help by having lots of paint in stock. It's a really good community.
Art Dog: Art Coop is located in an indoor mall, next door to a food co-op, a framing shop, a creative reuse store, a quilting store, a couple jewelry stores. How does that influence your business?
AP: It's quite collaborative. My partner works at the creative reuse store. The manager there comes over every Monday for glue sticks. We go over there a lot to get stuff for window displays, etc. We complement one another in that if a customer wants a full tube of paint you can come to Art Coop, or if you just need a few dots of paint, you can go to the Idea Store. They are getting together their classroom schedule now, we're seeing if we can do some cross-over, some co-sponsored events.
The Art Coop personality encapsulated in a photo from their Instagram: fun, quirky, weird, and imaginative.
Art Dog: It sounds like you guys are really collaborative people in general—what is it like owning an art store together?
AP: Hilary and I are really good buds. We have a good relationship in that we call BS on one another and it's not a huge ordeal. We have open conversations.
HP: It makes communication way easier.
AP: As for owning the store, it's big. We find it funny. Because I've been doing it for so long, I started managing without actually being a manager. I took the initiative and got permission to start ordering things I thought we needed. Hilary and I downplay our position, we feel like it's "fake", but it's pretty awesome to own an established art store that has room to grow, we can put our own spin on it.
Art Dog: And what is the "spin" that you are putting on the store?
AP: Technology! We want it to be more accessible online. I put Hilary in charge of that stuff.
HP: There are these gaps, and the store operated totally fine without it, but the potential business that we can generate from utilizing these tools… we need to be doing this.
AP: We inherited so much from the Art Coop. For instance, a printmaking professor who taught the previous owner, he comes in, we know to order a specific kind of epoxy… I know the community, I've been doing this long enough that they trust me, I know what they need. But we are obviously much younger, about half the age of that community. So we bring in a different age group as well.
AP: That's something we've never tapped into, elementary school, high school, etc. I mean… they use paint… do they want to use our paint? That kind of thing.
HP: We basically know all of the art teachers in town, and that is a huge part of our community.
Art Dog: Technology is such an important tool, and multi-generational connections are crucial for building community. What else is on the docket for Art Coop's future?
AP: We have a little gallery in our store. We have shows every so often. People have used it for demos (such as Sandy Bacon from Golden). One of the things we are excited about (inspired by Dealer Workshop): we want to figure out a class schedule. Our account manager Cassie hooked us up with Wet Paint and man, they are over-achievers. I just read your article about their social media strategies last night.
HP: That's another one of our goals, to make that connection on social media fluid, have content that makes sense and connects to what we are selling.
Art Dog: What did you think of NAMTA?
AP: NAMTA is great. I really like being able to see different ways that people have merchandising set up… It was great to meet specific people from companies we work with. And to meet other small business owners. It was great to bring Hilary along, she hasn't been doing this as long as I have. She brought a real sense of excitement. I try to remember when I first started, getting shot down by the former owners—one time I was so excited about POSCA markers and they said no way, we tried them in 1972 and everyone hated them. I remember thinking… maybe they are better now? We carry them now and everyone loves them. So we try to have a balance when it comes to old and new perspectives.
HP: I thought it was really interesting to see the quick demos at NAMTA. It's something I want to incorporate here, if we can do something so quickly to explain something to a customer, to show someone how things work. The small display above the products were really cool.
Art Dog: I think the tactile experience is so important for visual people. When I go to an art store, I gravitate towards anything I can touch, anything open and out of the bottle.
AP: That's what is so important about having a smaller brick & mortar; a community gathering place. When people come in with questions, a lot of people start out with "This is really weird…" and we're here to be like no, it's not, it's cool, and this is how it works. You gotta touch everything, the paper, the pen. There are 6,000 different reds I mean, I don't know what you're talking about when you call me or show me color swatches online. We have so much knowledge and know exactly what we want because we are so immersed in this world, and that's the fun part of this job: trying to figure out the "thing" that people want. So much of our job is translating. Someone will have a vague idea of what they want or what they are already doing.
Art Dog: Is the Buyer's Guide a useful sales tool and/or source of inspiration for you?
Art Dog: What! You guys made giant pencils?
AP: There are pencils in the window right now, with ferrules and everything. What's great about working with Hilary is that before we partnered up, I was doing this all by myself. This last summer I worked seventy days in a row. This kind of excitement? On National Pencil Day, I'm like, uh is anyone going to be working on National Pencil Day? Hilary has the energy to do cool things like this window display. The extra brainspace is great.
HP: When I finished with my program I was working with one client for most of the time, by myself. I realized I couldn't work by myself all the time. It's so much fun to work with other people and share ideas.
Art Dog: What is a challenge you are dealing with right now?
AP: Getting all of our employees on board with being the reason why people want to come into our store instead of ordering things online. Working on our community, as a small store. The Art Coop is like my living room, the people are like my family… we are working on taking some big strides forward to be confident in that, as a younger gen of the Art Coop.
Art Dog: What is one of your strategies for making that happen?
AP: Education is a big part of our future plans, both education of our employees and educational opportunities for the art community as a whole. We want our employees to be confident with their knowledge and use it to help customers, so we've started what we casually call "Try the Supply." We pick a different art supply each week for our employees to use in a communal sketchbook so they have first hand experience using lots of media. We've been scheduling demos, workshops and lectures to happen in our gallery space in addition to exhibitions. We want to continue our role as a hub for the local art community.
Art Coop swag for the community!
Art Dog: What is most rewarding about your work with Art Coop?
HP: The rotating inspiration. People come in, they have a cool project, they are really excited about what they are doing, they need help. To be a part of that process.
AP: And to have them come back. We help them, they come back and tell us if it worked. There is so much knowledge there, so much to learn. There are lots of moments… for instance last back to school in the fall, I was putting together kits before Hilary came on, in the middle of my seventy day "work pile." I realized I was one of these 18 year-olds coming into the Art Coop, twelve years ago. I remember thinking how cool the Art Coop was, how exciting, all this cool art sh**. And we are doing that for people now! People who are at the beginning of their art brain life. They come in and say, "My teacher sent me here and they said you know everything!" Or, last weekend there was a little girl running around and she said "This is art supply heaven," I mean, I'm in the back doing payroll and I wanna cry! It's a ton of work, but to be that cool community spot giving people the space to…I don't know, talk about pencils. How did we become adults who own art supply store and are being that resource for the next generation of humans? It's phenomenal.
Are you a twenty-something staff member taking on more responsibility? Are you grouped in the vague category "young people" and stepping up as manager or owner? We want to hear your story.
I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your story and thanks to Macpherson's for publishing it! I recently took over a small art supply and custom framing store in January, after the previous owner retired. I had worked for the previous owner for 7 years while obtaining my art degree at Portland State, and knew when he retired, taking on ownership was the right step for me to take. I have an art background in various forms of fine art and graphic design, and have developed so much more knowledge while working in this industry, but always feel like there's so much more to learn!
I found such a resemblance between your story and my own. Aside from the obvious–being that I am a 28-year-old female small business owner, we also share that my favorite part of doing the work I do is helping artists of all kinds in a small, heartwarming community find the solutions they need for their art endeavors. I also became more responsible and "in charge" of things around the store as time went on, such as managing orders and prices, and running it by myself when the owner wasn't in, but I never would have guessed when I started that I would eventually become the future owner!
I feel that there are so many ways in which the business can grow and thrive that I have yet to discover. I was inspired by your words and your adventure–and I would love to follow you on social media, etc. so that you two are able to continue to inspire me and the journey with my small business.

Daniel Ricciardo had to alter his approach to races in 2016
DANIEL Ricciardo knew something had to change in 2016, and now his approach isn't something you'd expect from a professional sportsman.
news.com.auJune 30, 201611:43pm
2016 has been a mixed bag for the Aussie.Source:Getty Images
MOST professional athletes have one thing in common — an insatiable appetite for success.
You can't get to the top in any sport unless you've got something inside you spurring you on to be better than the person next you.
Daniel Ricciardo has that. Anyone who saw how angry he was after his crew completely botched a routine pit stop to cost him victory at the Monaco Grand Prix could see just how much it hurt him to come second instead of first.
He wants to win.
But wanting to win and expecting to win are two completely different things.
"In Melbourne we finished fourth and I didn't expect that, so that was nice, and then I got fourth again in Bahrain so we built up a bit of momentum and then obviously I couldn't help but start to want more," Ricciardo said in an interview with F1i.com.
"I think for the right reasons, Barcelona and Monaco we genuinely had a chance to win but now obviously I've taken a bit of a step back and I'm not expecting to win.
"Even though we have a chance I don't expect to win coming into every race now."
After a disastrous 2015 in which Red Bull failed to win a race for the first time since 2008 and Ricciardo could only manage a disappointing eighth in the Drivers Championship — one place behind then-junior teammate Daniil Kvyat — 2016 started so much brighter for the 26-year-old.
As he mentioned, he opened with two fourth-placed finishes in Melbourne and Bahrain, before coming fourth again in China after a punctured tyre scuppered his chances of a podium finish.

Things only got worse from there. Daniil Kvyat's erratic driving caused havoc in Russia and saw Ricciardo come 11th after his car was damaged, while he blamed his team's questionable three-stop strategy in Barcelona for costing him a win.
Then came the disaster that was Monaco.
Clearly, these recent disappointments have been enough to dent Ricciardo's optimism — not an easy task given he's famous for showing off his toothy grin.
He came into 2016 with low expectations after the horror season before that once held hopes of a crack at the title. It was the knowledge you can't win every battle that altered Ricciardo's perspective.
"I definitely re-altered my mindset. Already what happened last year, I think sometimes trying to set a target too high can only be a bit of a let-down," he said.
"I think last year helped me a lot. My enjoyment throughout the season improved and I was able to understand a bit more within the sport and realise that you can't win every race."
It's a slightly surprising attitude to have for someone in Ricciardo's shoes. He's admitted previously how frustrated he is that he hasn't been able to achieve more in his F1 career, and while winning in any sport takes skill, just as important is a belief that you can succeed.
Quick, but not quick enough this season.Source:AFP
You can't imagine Iceland getting over the top of England at the Euros if they didn't believe they could win. Even after going down to Novak Djokovic so many times in grand slam finals, still Andy Murray comes out before every match against the Serb saying he believes his best tennis can knock him over.
If you think you're going to lose, how can you ever win?
To be fair, Ricciardo's attitude is a realistic and honest. Sometimes the powerful Mercedes driven by Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg will simply be too much for his Renault-powered Red Bull, but if he goes into a race not expecting to win it, has he lost before he even hits the accelerator?
Red Bull has exercised its option to keep Ricciardo under contract until the end of 2018. Most likely his teammate will still be youngster Max Verstappen, who was promoted from Toro Rosso in place of Kvyat after the Russian Grand Prix.
He knows Verstappen will push him every chance he gets, but he still wants everyone to know he's top dog at Red Bull. Verstappen won the Spanish Grand Prix after Ricciardo's strategy miscalculation, but the senior statesman pulled out what Red Bull boss Christian Horner called the "best lap of the weekend" in qualifying.

"I think it was for both of us in a way," Ricciardo told F1i.com. "It was to make sure I'm still on top of my game and pushing myself and they wanted to really push Max and see what he's made of. So in a way it was pushing both of us by bringing Max in and seeing what we've got.
"Qualifying (in Barcelona) up until Q3 wasn't a surprise, I knew he would be quick, but at the same time I knew I hadn't put together my perfect lap yet ... That was that, it reiterated not only how good Max was how he got into the team and got up to speed, but also reiterated to the team that I am also the real deal!"
Just because the likeable West Australian doesn't expect to win every race he's in now, he's determined to improve to the point where he can line up on the grid confident he can cross the finish line first.
"There's always somebody coming up and it can be a few weekends away from you looking great to just looking good. So I'm always trying to improve and I hope until the day I retire I've never found everything," he said.
"I always want to be searching for more and I think that's the difference. Some drivers probably get to a point where they stop learning and stop looking for ways to be better and go faster, but I want to always keep searching.
"I think that will keep me motivated and keep me improving all the time."

Book Review: The Poison Machine by Robert J. Lloyd
By Doreen Sheridan
In a thrilling sequel to Robert J. Lloyd's The Bloodless Boy — a New York Times Best New Historical Novel of 2021 — early scientists Harry Hunt and Robert Hooke of the Royal Society stumble on a plot to kill the Queen of England. Read on for Doreen Sheridan's review!
What an extraordinarily absorbing historical mystery, filled with just as much swashbuckling derring-do as it is intellectual conundrums! Robert J. Lloyd draws from real figures and events of the 17th-century to frame his exciting tale of a young scientist seeking out the truth under the most perilous of circumstances.
In 1679 London, Harry Hunt faces humiliation after a disastrous showing in front of the Royal Society of London for the Improving of Natural Knowledge. Thinking his goal of becoming a Royal Society Curator now well outside his grasp, he spurns the comforting words of his mentor, renowned scientist and professor Robert Hooke, and decides, despite both their misgivings, to accept a position as Investigator with the Board of Ordnance instead.
Harry has worked with the Board of Ordnance before, and does not truly relish becoming embroiled in their machinations again. But the pay is good, and with his professional prospects otherwise looking so dim – at least in his eyes – he decides to accept the offer sent to him by Sir Jonas Moore, the Board's Surveyor-General. A body has been found in the Fens of Norfolkshire, and Sir Jonas wants Harry's observant eye turned to the scene. Accompanied by some unexpected friends, Harry travels north, not realizing that this will only be the first stop on a perilous quest that will take him to the heights and depths of both English and French society.
One of his companions is Grace Hooke, Robert's highly intelligent niece, who has dressed herself in men's clothing and run off to assist him. Unfortunately, her contributions are not as appreciated as they might be, particularly by the gentlemen they're attempting to help. At the end of a dispiriting day, she and Harry get into an argument, as she says with sarcasm:
"For I am not hurt, even slightly, by Sir Jonas keeping me away from your dead man. Why should I be? Every day, I am dismissed and condescended to because of the limitation placed upon my sex. I am well accustomed to it, so whyever should I be hurt?"
"Because you're dressed as a man, you expect to be treated as one. But you're a girl."
She threw down the rabbit's bone. "Because you dress as a man, you expect to be treated as one. But you are a boy."
Despite their squabbling, their team soon surmises that the body belongs to a favorite attached to the court of Queen Henrietta Maria, late consort of the previous King Charles I. Unfortunately, the discovery of the corpse means that someone has been impersonating the dead man for decades now, and has even worked with the Board of Ordnance as an investigator himself. Harry's pursuit of the man calling himself Captain Jeffrey Hudson leads him not only back to London but across the English Channel to France, where false imprisonment and potentially worse await him.
But even in the direst of circumstances, Harry has friends. Some of these ensure that he is released from chains to at least get some fresh air and exercise, though under supervision, on the roof of the Bastille. This leads to one of the most harrowing and exciting passages of the novel, of which this next excerpt is but a taste:
Harry's normal way of breathing had returned, the colour come back to his cheeks. He nodded at the geôlier, grateful to him. The surveillant snorted derisively, and gestured to hurry Harry along, at the same moment as from behind them the sun momentarily dimmed. So quickly did it happen, that none of the three men saw quite what had happened, until it was too late. Something leapt, with a curious fluttering sound, from the same doorway they had emerged onto the roof from.
Filled with adventure and peril, this dense page-turner weaves a convincing yarn of conspiracies and counter-conspiracies as the scientifically-minded Harry must sort out the truth from lies, uncovering as he does so a plot to kill the current Queen and the Catholic members of her court. Will Harry be able to gain his liberty from France's most fearsome prison and stop the assassins, in time and in the face of great personal sacrifice?
Mr. Lloyd's ability to bring the mores of the times to life, as well as to make the 17th century feel both exceedingly relatable to and intriguing for the modern reader, more than makes up for any slight liberties taken with the historical record in the telling of this tale. I haven't read such a thrilling historical mystery in a while now, and greatly look forward to enjoying more of this engaging series.

Lawmakers from the Republican and Democratic US political parties have introduced legislation in the House and Senate in an attempt to ban online gambling in the country.
According to the Associated Press news agency, the bills are aimed at reversing a decision in 2011 by Attorney General Eric Holder that a 1961 law used to ban internet gambling only applied to sports betting.
The new bills would expand prohibition to where it originally stood before the 2011 ruling.
New Jersey, Delaware and Nevada are the only three states to have legalised online gaming since the 2011 ruling, but a number of other states have also considered doing so.
Senator Lindsey Graham, a Republican from South Carolina, is the chief Senate sponsor while the House version is sponsored by Republican Jason Chaffetz from Utah. Each bill also has co-sponsors from both parties.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Democrat from Nevada, controls his chamber's agenda and has supported legalising online poker.
Nevada's other Senator, Republican Dean Heller, also favours internet poker in Nevada and said it should be up the each state to decide whether they permit online gaming.
However, a spokesperson for Heller said that the Senator believes a major expansion of online gambling would be "bad for Nevada and for the country".

Workshop for local contractors: What it takes to bid on public jobs
Great Barrington—A workshop geared towards helping local contractors become certified by the Division of Capital Asset Management (DCAMM) will be held March 18 from 1pm to 3pm at the Fire Station on 37 State Road. This program will cover the DCAMM Certification Application requirements and the process for becoming certified as a Prime Contractor & Filed Sub-bidder for those interested in bidding on M.G.L. Chapter 149 and 149A vertical building construction work in the Commonwealth. DCAMM presenter will be Public Information Manager, Suzette Waters.
The topic of DCAMM certification came up last fall when some community members proposed using the local workforce to renovate Monument Mountain Regional High School. Voters said no to the renovation, but work will eventually have to be done to upgrade the deteriorating school. Town Manager Jennifer Tabakin asked the state to hold a workshop closer to home, and they agreed. "We want our local workforce to be able to get in the loop and know what they need to become part of it," she said.

Berkshires without barriers — a new transportation guide
Pittsfield — The Berkshire Regional Transportation Coordinating Council (RCC) was formed as a result of a statewide initiative to improve community, social service and para-transit transportation. The Berkshire RCC has met monthly for more than a year to help improve access, coordination and availability of transportation services used by residents with disabilities, those with low income or limited English proficiency, seniors and visitors to the Berkshires.
Partnered with the Berkshire Regional Planning Commission, one of Berkshire RCC's initial projects was to create a Berkshire County Transportation Guide as a reference for all residents and visitors.
The Guide is intended to help everyone get around in Berkshire County and to encourage efficient use of available resources.
The Berkshire RCC's goal is to make this resource available to everyone in Berkshire County, and to overcome challenges and barriers to mobility across the county. A copy of the transportation guide can be found by clicking here.
For more information please contact Anuja Koirala, Senior Transportation Planner, Berkshire Regional Planning Commission at akoirala@berkshireplanning.org or Erica Girgenti, Berkshire Regional Transportation Coordinating Council Chair at egirgenti@town.adams.ma.us or 413-743-8333.

Workshops + Activities
This is where you can see all the videos and poems that have been created as part of the one day Flash residencies, there will be ten over the Syntax Festival and in a number of different venues, from Fish and Chips shops, Cathedrals to Food banks. Please see below for the videos.
1. Becky Owen Fisher
Becky is a playwright, dramaturg, actor, writer, poet and she is the producer of Lamphouse Theatre who are based in Peterborough.
Becky chose Crowland Abbey for its beauty and its majestic setting in the Fens, which for Becky is a constant source of inspiration. Becky had a great Flash residency day on the 7th November, chatting to volunteers who diligently keep the Abbey open and looking spick and span, visitors and also the Vicar of the Abbey, collecting this incredible source of imagery that has filled her poem with swathes of historical, natural and social pictures that press themselves into your mind and just look at those arches for a performance back drop.
Please follow Becky at: @BeckyOwenFisher & Lamphouse Theatre: http://www.lamphousetheatre.co.uk/ & if you have never been to Crowland Abbey then this is a stunning, part ruined Abbey Church that is gem of history. https://www.crowlandabbey.org.uk/
2. Toby Wood
Toby Wood is a poet and performer. Toby was the first Peterborough Poet Laureate and he has also produced and hosted nights which have featured acts like John Hegley. Toby often writes with a real quick wit and brevity which pokes fun at both the everyday and extraordinary. And for his Flash residency on the 12th November, He penned an ode to the local Netherton Friendship group which is a social for people aged 40+ They play games, chat together, laugh and check in on friends.Toby performed poems and some of the group have written their own poems which will feature in a booklet, which is coming soon! This friendship group is organised by Marion Quinn who Toby describes as a human dynamo with a passion for people and that they should not be lonely. Toby's poem is full of straight down the middle, glorious imagery that celebrates those people that we can overlook but would be nothing without!
3. Sandy Wardrop
Sandy Wardrop is a writer and stand-up poet who has lived in Peterborough since 2016. He is a former 'Good Shout' slam champion and was runner up for Peterborough Poet Laureate, 2020. His graphic poem 'It's Safe Here' went viral in 2019, gaining 14,000+ shares across the UK, USA, Australia and the Philippines.
Sandy gets dinner from Hampton's Plaice nearly once a week (and sometimes even more than he wishes to admit). Having regularly relied on the place as a 'quick-dinner-lifeline' before gigs, workshops or family commitments, Sandy has seen the business transform from a run-of-the-mill, corporate owned franchise to a welcoming, community-focused, independent local eatery. This film was made for Syntax Poetry Festival's flash residency programme, partly as a way to shine a light on a growing and little-known community hub in the city but also partly as a personal thank you from Sandy to the people that, in a pinch, have kept him and his family from going hungry more times than he can count.
4.Rob Harding
Rob is a poet and writer who also runs, Good Shout Poetry Slam which is based in Peterborough and has featured, Toby Campion and Leanne Moden. Rob became poet in residence at his son's school, which is Castor Primary C of E on Friday the 22nd Nov and he wanted to ask a question about heroes and what they mean. This film and poem include those thoughts and also the hopes, dreams of the children he asked and in doing so, he learned that heroes are within us all and also within the walls of primary schools.Oh and there is a little cameo from SpiderMan himself at the end! Syntax hopes this poem gives you all a little soul boost for when the world feels as thought its full of villains and to remember to be wide eyed and hopeful.
5. Clare Currie
Clare Currie has just finished her tenure as Peterborough Poet Laureate and she has recently created a poem and film as part of We Love Peterbrough which has been viewed over 30,000 times! Clare also supports a regular scratch night for Poets in Peterborough too. For Clare's Flash residency, where Clare has often wiled away the hours and Clare really did discover lots of interesting stories about the park and was surprised to meet Reg and his squirrels. The poem and film explore what is so important to us all, the restorative effect of nature, the need for play, meeting friends and bubble gum ice cream!
6. Rev. Helena Del Pino
Helena is the reverend of the Holy Spirit church in Bretton and till this residency she would not have considered herself a poet but she wanted test her creativity and feature a space that she feels very passionate about. So she chose to be in quiet residency at the Food bank at the Holy Spirit Church in Bretton and a youtube description will not do justice to the people and stories she encountered but this poem, Bread not Stone will do more than give justice, it will give you a sometimes uncomfortable yet true reflection of what Food banks are to those who use them and how their stories deserve and need to be shared. If you watch this and are touched by this then please do contact the local Foodbank if you can offer any help. https://peterborough.foodbank.org.uk/
7. Amber Page
Amber is an educator and poet who has recently won the Hammer & Tongue slam in Cambridge and has just released her poetry collection, 'Stream Speaking'.
When Amber applied for her Flash residency at Peterborough Cathedral, she talked of the time she first came to Peterborough and she visited the Cathedral and how it welcomed her and since then has become a home. During Amber's residency She met so many others who also feel that this 900 year old 'divine' monolith belongs to them and they belong to it. This poem describes these stories and how it keeps making space for all and long may it do so!
8. Sophie O'Sullivan
Sophie Jade O'Sullivan portrays 'Welcome home' – a poem she wrote inspired by her travels and spending a day in residency at Peterborough central station.

After 10 years of Las Iguanas Liverpool, a few weeks ago they relaunched with a refurb of the restaurant and a bigger and better menu.
Situated on the terrace of Liverpool One, Las Iguanas has become a friendly face of dining for a decade and the relaunch has come just in time to sit and enjoy some heart warming food (and a few cheeky cocktails) after a long day of Christmas shopping.
We were welcomed by neon signs, extended outdoor area and two South American dancers enticing us to eat all the food.
With happy hour all day, every day, how could we resist. We smashed three cocktails each whilst we were there and the amazing staff were more than happy to recommend us not only the tasty ones, but the ones full of booze (when we explained we don't mess around with our drinks).
The cocktail masterclass taught us how to make the Brazilian pauper's drink, the Caipirinha, which is very simple, but very good. We followed these with the Honey Strawberry Fizz and the Passionfruit Zombie.
The fact that the restaurant has a dedicated vegetarian and vegan menu told us straight away that they are more than welcoming to us 'fussy' lot.
The food was great, we struggled to decide, and after a recommendation from the waitress we decided to start with the Mushroom Quesadilla and Halloumi Skewers. Both were delicious and we couldn't wait for our mains of Moqueca de Palmitos and Portabello Mushroom Fajitas. When these came we really struggled to finish them, and it's safe to say you definitely get a good portion.
With Christmas shopping season well and truly started, Las Iguanas is the perfect place to finish a long stressful day on your feet to unwind, eat well and have a few drinks.

A purposefully designed space is better. Let art breathe creativity and energy into your home and workspace. My paintings are made entirely by hand, from the stretching of the canvas to the blending of the oil paints. Some of the paints I use are even created by stones I have collected from around the world. Each piece is finished with a gorgeous hemlock wood frame.
Artwork is more than colors or imagery, it is an expression of who you are. Abstract art embraces the mystery of the world while organizing it into harmonious shapes and compositions.
My illustrations are fun, playful, and most of all original. I offer my illustrations matted, framed, and as prints.

Landslides are often viewed together with other natural hazards, such as earthquakes and fires, as phenomena whose size distribution obeys an inverse power law. Inverse power law distributions are the result of additive avalanche processes, in which the final size cannot be predicted at the onset of the disturbance. Volume and area distributions of submarine landslides along the U.S. Atlantic continental slope follow a lognormal distribution and not an inverse power law. Using Monte Carlo simulations, we generated area distributions of submarine landslides that show a characteristic size and with few smaller and larger areas, which can be described well by a lognormal distribution. To generate these distributions we assumed that the area of slope failure depends on earthquake magnitude, i.e., that failure occurs simultaneously over the area affected by horizontal ground shaking, and does not cascade from nucleating points. Furthermore, the downslope movement of displaced sediments does not entrain significant amounts of additional material. Our simulations fit well the area distribution of landslide sources along the Atlantic continental margin, if we assume that the slope has been subjected to earthquakes of magnitude ??? 6.3. Regions of submarine landslides, whose area distributions obey inverse power laws, may be controlled by different generation mechanisms, such as the gradual development of fractures in the headwalls of cliffs. The observation of a large number of small subaerial landslides being triggered by a single earthquake is also compatible with the hypothesis that failure occurs simultaneously in many locations within the area affected by ground shaking. Unlike submarine landslides, which are found on large uniformly-dipping slopes, a single large landslide scarp cannot form on land because of the heterogeneous morphology and short slope distances of tectonically-active subaerial regions. However, for a given earthquake magnitude, the total area affected by subaerial landslides is comparable to that calculated by slope stability analysis for submarine landslides. The area distribution of subaerial landslides from a single event may be determined by the size distribution of the morphology of the affected area, not by the initiation process. ?? 2009 Elsevier B.V.


Camping his life away, Griffin Washburn (AKA Goth Babe) writes and records his music in the back of his camper off of solar power with his best pal Sadie by his side. You must follow his Instagram.
So it wasn't a surprise when he rolled up at 1720, music lovers were going to pack the venue. Goth Babe's latest single "Weekend Friend" is out now.
Another local favorite, Jurassic Shark, brought the masses. It was bittersweet as it was guitarist's Will Cragoe's last gig with the band. Their next gig should be announced soon.
It was a full evening of bliss that also included The Licks, The Grinns and OMW2HEAVEN.
