PBS FRONTLINE: SECRETS OF THE VATICAN-Pain and Hope
Frontline did an excellent job on reporting both the secrets that rocked the Vatican and the world and the difference that Pope Francis has begun to make ! We can only pray for Pope Francis'continued courage under serious threats from many sides and new courage regarding the "hot button" issues of women in the priesthood and married priests among others . This would be worth watching when it airs again or purchasing the DVD!

Amid Vatican Disarray, Pope Francis Set A New Tone
February 25, 2014, 10:49 am ET by Jason M. Breslow
One year ago this week, Pope Benedict XVI did something that no other pope had done in nearly 600 years — he resigned the papacy.
It was a decision that sent shockwaves through the Vatican. Just eight years earlier, Benedict had promised a new beginning for the church at a time when it was reeling from the clergy sexual abuse crisis. But rather than stem the scandal, the crisis only grew.
Troubles spread to a second front in 2010 with allegations of money laundering at the Vatican bank. Then came VatiLeaks, a scandal that exposed a Vatican hierarchy plagued by cronyism, power struggles and bureaucratic corruption. For Benedict, it was a crippling blow to his authority.
Five weeks after Benedict's resignation, white smoke from the Sistine Chapel signaled that the College of Cardinals had chosen his successor: Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, known today as Pope Francis.
Among the world's 1.2 billion Catholics, it was clear Francis was inheriting a church in disarray, yet on the night of his selection he seemed to signal a new direction with just two words: buona serra or "good evening."
"That was amazing," Cardinal Oscar Rodriguez Maradiaga said in the below excerpt from tonight's FRONTLINE investigation, Secrets of the Vatican. "You can't imagine the response of that huge crowd that was in St. Peter's Square, because they expected a theological message, and they found somebody that is warm, that is near, that is one of us."
Tonight's film traces the shocking back story of how Benedict's papacy collapsed and the extraordinary challenges ahead for Francis as he looks to reform the Vatican bureaucracy, stem corruption in the Holy See, and chart a new course for the church.
It appears big changes may be on the horizon. In April, Francis appointed eight influential cardinals to advise him on how to reform the structural problems facing church governance, and just yesterday he announced a sweeping set of reforms for the Vatican's scandal-plagued financial system.
On broader matters of church teaching, he has shifted focus from divisive social issues such as homosexuality — famously asking "Who am I to judge?" in response to a question about gays in the church — and placed an emphasis on what he calls a global "economy of exclusion and inequality."
The challenge ahead for Francis may be meeting the high expectations that have been set for him. As Barbie Latza Nadeau of The Daily Beast told FRONTLINE:
"One has to worry and wonder if he's ever going to be able to live up to the legacy that he has already created. He's already the best pope that anyone can remember."

Ugly Betty (2006 - 2010)
(Television Series)
Dates: September 28, 2006 - April 14, 2010
Ugly Betty is the story of Betty Suarez, a good-hearted young Latina from Queens, New York, brave but sorely lacking in social skills, self-confidence, fashion sense, and aesthetic polish. Betty is suddenly thrust into a different world when she is hired as a personal assistant at Mode, a fashion magazine headquartered in Manhattan and part of the publishing empire of the wealthy Bradford Meade and his family. Meade hires Betty, despite being a fish out of water, to look after (and keep out of trouble from womanizing) his son, newly-installed Mode editor-in-chief Daniel Meade. As time goes by, Betty and Daniel learn to trust one another, and ultimately become friends and allies in a world sometimes beautiful and sometimes maddeningly chaotic.

The Cafe Gadjo changed into a Locksmith shop last year, and Bob maintains his presence in that shop at 100 Russell Street.
Anyone who comes into Melbourne CBD needing watch service or a battery should be aware of Bob. You can google "bob watchmaker russell street melbourne" and get his minimalist web site.
His is as quirky an operation as you could envision. His shop is now inside the Cafe Gadjo on Russell SE of the intersection with Lt.Collins. I have had numerous batteries replaced, bands sized, and mechanical watches serviced. The prices are always Very fair and the work has always been tops, and either immediate or faster turn-around than you would get from a watch shop or most kiosks. Bob is a joy of a person. Seems he sometimes also does cafe duty it is so quirky!
Don't let that dissuade you from giving him a try!

Apr 09, 2019 (China Knowledge) - China's National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) is considering to ban cryptocurrency mining in the country according to a draft list of industrial activities the state planner is seeking to stop as government pressure increases in the cryptocurrency sector.
The NDRC is still currently seeking public opinions for its list of industries it is seeking to restrict or eliminate as they do not adhere to relevant laws and regulations, are unsafe or waste resources and pollute the environment. The list includes more than 450 activities of which cryptocurrency mining was added in its latest revision.
The NDRC has not stipulated a date or plan as to how to eliminate bitcoin mining but the public has up to May 7th to comment on the draft.
The inclusion of cryptocurrency mining reflects the attitude China has in regards to the cryptocurrency industry which has been under heavily scrutiny from the Chinese government since 2017 after multiple frauds and Ponzi schemes in the sector.
The government has since banned initial coin offerings, closed local cryptocurrency trading platforms and exchanges in the country and limited cryptocurrency mining, forcing companies in the industry to move out of China to continue their operations.
Currently, Chinese companies are also the largest suppliers to cryptocurrency mining gear.

I.H.T. Planning
A gilt is a UK Government liability in sterling, issued by HM Treasury and listed on the London Stock Exchange. The term "gilt" or "gilt-edged security" is a reference to the primary characteristic of gilts as an investment: their security. This is a reflection of the fact that the British Government has never failed to make interest or principal payments on gilts as they fall due. An explanation of terms relating to gilts appears in the glossary.
The gilt market is essentially comprised of two different types of securities - conventional gilts and index-linked gilts – which between them account for around 99% of gilts in issue. An explanation of the different types of gilt appears below. Data are available showing how the breakdown of the gilt market by type of gilt has changed over time.
Conventional gilts
Conventional gilts are the simplest form of government bond and constitute the largest share of liabilities in the Government's portfolio. A conventional gilt is a liability of the Government which guarantees to pay the holder of the gilt a fixed cash payment (coupon) every six months until the maturity date, at which point the holder receives the final coupon payment and the return of the principal. The prices of conventional gilts are quoted in terms of £100 nominal. However, they can be traded in units as small as a penny.
A conventional gilt is denoted by its coupon rate and maturity (e.g. 4% Treasury Gilt 2016). The coupon rate usually reflects the market interest rate at the time of the first issue of the gilt. Consequently there is a wide range of coupon rates available in the market at any one time, reflecting how rates of borrowing have fluctuated in the past. The coupon indicates the cash payment per £100 nominal that the holder will receive per year. This payment is made in two equal semi-annual payments on fixed dates six months apart (these payments are rolled forward to the next business day if they fall on a non-business day). For example, an investor who holds £1,000 nominal of 4% Treasury Gilt 2016 will receive two coupon payments of £20 each on 7 March and 7 September.
Conventional gilts also have a specific maturity date. In the case of 4% Treasury Gilt 2016 the principal will be repaid to investors on 7 September 2016. In recent years the Government has concentrated issuance of conventional gilts around the 5-, 10- and 30-year maturity areas, but in May 2005 the DMO issued a new 50-year maturity conventional gilt.
Index-linked gilts
Index-linked gilts (IGs) form the largest part of the gilt portfolio after conventional gilts. The UK was one of the earliest developed economies to issue index-linked bonds for institutional investors, with the first issue being in 1981. As with conventional gilts the coupon on an index-linked gilt reflects borrowing rates available at the time of first issue. However, as index-linked coupons reflect the real borrowing rate for the Government rather than the nominal borrowing rate there is a much smaller variation in real yields over time.
Index-linked gilts differ from conventional gilts in that the semi-annual coupon payments and the principal are adjusted in line with the UK Retail Prices Index (RPI). This means that both the coupons and the principal paid on redemption of these gilts are adjusted to take account of accrued inflation since the gilt was first issued. For index-linked gilts whose first issue date is before July 2002, the Bank of England performs the function of calculating and publishing the uplifted coupons on each index-linked gilt following the release of the RPI figure which is relevant to it, while for index-linked gilts first issued from July 2002 onwards the DMO performs this function. The DMO has produced a detailed paper with examples which sets out the method for calculating cash flows on index-linked gilts.
Each coupon payable on index-linked gilts consists of two elements:
half the annual real coupon. The real coupon is quoted in the gilt's title and is fixed (e.g. 2½% Index-linked Treasury Stock 2016 pays a real coupon of 2½%, 1¼% twice a year);
an adjustment factor applied to the real coupon payment to take account of the increase in the RPI since the gilt's issue.
THE VALUE OF INVESTMENTS AND INCOME FROM THEM MAY GO DOWN. YOU MAY NOT GET BACK THE ORIGINAL AMOUNT INVESTED.

A very good webstream recording. There's a bit of clipping, but it is not major. The songs contained here are from the TOTU tour rehearsals, because Wrong and Walking In My Shoes later appeared as bonuses on the "Tour Of The Universe" DVD. The interviews were likely done around the time of the original FM broadcast date of July 10, 2009. There was then a first FM rebroadcast on September 14, 2009, and a second FM rebroadcast on December 31, 2009 as part of a "Best Of 2009" series. This webstream version contains Come Back as a web-only bonus; it was not part of any of the FM broadcasts, but is part of the pre-FM CD source.
Note that there is a pre-FM CD source for just the songs (plus Come Back which was not broadcast, and minus the interviews), which unfortunately appears to be lossy, at Source 1.
And, the second FM rebroadcast from December 31, 2009, which mirrors this content, minus "Come Back" which was a web-only extra, is available at Source 2.
Of all three sources, Source 1 (the pre-FM) is the best sounding, because it does not have any FM radio dynamic range compression applied, it seems less lossy than the 128kbps MP3 webstream version, and it has none of the slight clipping that this webstream MP3 version has.
The streams below have not been re-encoded; these are the same 128kbps MP3 files you can download in the archive.

Care home burglar caught with the help of his sister
"You have allowed your life to be blighted by drink and drugs"
Gary Harford has been jailed (Image: Getty Images/iStockphoto)
A sneak thief who targeted care homes was brought to justice with the help of his sister.
Gary Harford admitted a spree of burglaries around Weston-super-Mare in which he helped himself to personal belongings.
When stills from CCTV appeared on social media in a bid to find him, his sister Lucy identified him to police on two occasions.
Harford, 41, of no fixed address, was arrested in Manchester as he headed to Scotland, Bristol Crown Court heard.
He pleaded guilty to burglary, fraud and threatening behaviour in February and March this year.
Judge Mark Horton jailed him for three years and eight months.
'Life blighted by drink and drugs'
He told Harford: "You could be of serious value to yourself and your family.
"You have allowed your life to be blighted by drink and drugs."
Harford told the judge: "Unfortunately, your honour, that is the case from my late teens."
Nicholas Fridd, prosecuting, said Harford entered H2W Ltd dentist surgery on Milton Road and stole uncashed cheques.
Convicted burglar due for release must stay in prison
Five days later he returned and grabbed a mobile phone and bank cards from a handbag.
Harford also entered Beach Lawns care home on Beach Road and plundered bank cards, £80 cash and a gold ring.
Later in the day he made £400 fraudulent transactions on a bank card, many at the Tesco Broadway store, where security staff confirmed his identity.
A few days later Harford entered Jasmine Court nursing home in Park Place and helped himself to a purse, driving licence, £80 cash and bank cards - using them at Halifax bank to make fraudulent transactions before they were blocked.
Mr Fridd said: "CCTV was circulated via social media independently from the police.
"Lucy Harford is the defendant's sister.
"She was viewing a Facebook page called "Spotted WSM" where the defendant's image was uploaded for the aforementioned burglary.
'Go to dark web and you face a dark cell,' judge warns man
"She identified the defendant and provided a statement to the police.
"Her motivation was her concern for the welfare of the defendant."
Harford admitted threatening behaviour towards staff at Walkabout in Corn Street, Bristol, in February.
He also admitted stealing personal belongings from Loco Mexicana restaurant in Weston-super-Mare - and was identified again by his sister when his image re-appeared on social media.
Harford also admitted burgling Southfield Farm in Brean and grabbing two mobile phones.
When he was discovered by the householder and asked how he got in, Harford replied: "Through the front door" and left.
When Harford was arrested in Manchester, on his way to Scotland, he made no comment to police.
Charley Pattison, defending, said: "He is not all bad.
"There are moments when he has led a pro-social life."
Miss Pattison told the court her client's sister had tried hard to help him, but found it impossible to get that help.

Thomas Cook issues Q&A for customers 'unsettled' over media speculation
by Phil Davies Sep 21st 2019, 09:34
Thomas Cook has published a full Q&A for customers on its website amid mounting speculation over its future.
It said: "We understand you might be unsettled by all the media speculation surrounding Thomas Cook.
"The plans we have announced, and the process we continue to work through, will, when executed, provide even greater certainty for Thomas Cook's future.
"Additionally, all our package holidays continue to be fully Atol-protected.
"We are working on recapitalisation plans to provide financial stability for the Thomas Cook Group going forward."
The company added that if customers choose to cancel their holiday or flight, normal booking conditions and cancellation charges would apply.
"All Thomas Cook Airlines flights are unaffected and continue to operate as normal," it said.
Shailesh Vara, MP for north-west Cambridgeshire whose constituency includes Thomas Cook's Peterborough headquarters, tweeted on Friday: "I have today spoken with Thomas Cook whose UK HQ is in my constituency.
"Every effort is being made to secure the additional £200 million required by lenders to safeguard 9,000 UK jobs (of which 1,200 are in north-west Cambs) and protect the many holidays booked with the company."
The problems come after lenders, including Royal Bank of Scotland and Lloyds, required Thomas Cook to secure an extra £200 million to cover any shortfall over the winter season, on top of a £900 million restructuring agreement led by Chinese conglomerate Fosun and a group of banks and stakeholders.
In a statement yesterday, Fosun, which owns Club Med, said: "Our proposed contribution of £450 million has not changed throughout this process.
"As a minority investor in Thomas Cook, and with no board representation, we are still working tirelessly with a large number of other stakeholders and interested parties to find agreement on the company's proposed recapitalisation plan."
A source close to the funding talks told The Times: "Thomas Cook hangs in the balance. People are still working in good faith to find a solution."
The company's board is expected to meet tomorrow (Sunday), but a source close to the talks told the newspaper it was "more likely than not" that it would enter administration.
Three unions representing staff working for Thomas Cook in the UK, where 9,000 people are employed, have urged the government to intervene but reports today suggested this was unlikely due to concerns about the longer-term viability of the business.
Travel agents on the Travel Gossip Facebook community have been voicing their support for the company which has an estimated 150,000 British holidaymakers abroad.
Thomas Cook Group employs a total of 21,000 staff and handles 22 million customers a year from 16 countries with a fleet of 105 aircraft.

Fallout 3 gameplay, Fallout: New Vegas gameplay, Fallout 4 gameplay
Waiting is an action in Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas and Fallout 4. It can be used to advance the in-game clock by a selected number of hours in only a few moments of real time. Waiting is useful for accessing stores or buildings that only open at a specific time, hastening some NPCs to your location or some other designated location, and allowing the sun to come up (or go down) before advancing to a new destination.
You can also open up the waiting menu by interacting with a bed that is not considered owned by another NPC, although this will trigger Resting instead. Resting is functionally similar to waiting, but it also restores Health and may confer other temporary status benefits, such as Well Rested.
In certain circumstances, there may be times when you are unable to wait. You cannot wait while enemies are nearby, when trespassing, while jumping or falling, while swimming, while being irradiated, or during dialog. These restrictions also apply to resting.
Controls Edit
Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas Edit
It is done by pressing the "Select" button on the PlayStation 3, the "Back" button on the Xbox 360 and the "T" button (by default) for the PC.
To wait, the Sole Survivor must first sit down on a chair, couch or bench. If you are allowed to wait at that time, the game will then indicate what button to press to wait at the bottom of the screen.
Waiting is a useful tool when dealing with Caravan merchants in Fallout 3. Wait for them at locations like the Rivet City platform, outside Megaton, Temple of the Union, Agatha's house, Paradise Falls, Arefu and at Evergreen Mills and they will cycle.
If you wait while you're addicted or sleep deprived, the screen may turn black for 10-15 seconds after the waiting time has finished. [verified]
If your controller disconnects on a 24 hour waiting session the arrow will still go. If the waits ends with controller disconnected the game may freeze.
If you press the home button, immediately after starting the countdown, The wait time will speed up significantly. This is useful for long waiting sessions and will also work in Skyrim.[verified]
As soon as the countdown starts on the wait screen, if the player presses the directional button to wait an extra hour, it will immediately go forward then back allowing a free hour in Hardcore mode without any ill effects such as the dehydration that would have happened by actually waiting or playing that extra hour. [verified]
When you adjust and confirm the timer to wait longer than 4 hours, sometimes the clock will only go forward by one hour instead of the suggested time. If you try waiting again, the timer will correct itself and wait for the desired time. [verified]

Just a bit of fun really. Something to take our mind off the international break, and most of all, something positive.
What's your favourite individual performance you've seen from an Everton player.
Mine is Felli Vs Man City. He was everywhere. That pirouette on Bellamy made my day.
The 4-4 at Old Trafford, especially as I was sat with a load of Man Utd fans cursing and swearing as they threw away 2 goal leads twice.
Beagrie v I think it was Southampton but it could have been stoke.
One of my earliest memories is Southall being outrageously spectacular in the 95 cup win.
Any of the Jags v Torres battles, particularly the first one when Torres was still supposed to be good.
Anichebe in the uefa cup. I though we had the next great thing at the te. How wrong I was.
Manny Vs Arsenal was great. Was so disappointed when we didn't sign him.
He scored a hatrick in the Europa league the other night I think.
I've always thought that Southall's performance in the cup final was busy rather than spectacular. He won us the game no doubt, but Dave Watson was Man of the Match!

Rangers: Jacob Trouba Was the Best Offseason Addition
By Justin Bonhard October 15th, 2019
It was an exciting summer for the New York Rangers, and with the first three games of the season in the books, it seems to have all been worth it. Several fan-favorites and key core pieces that were supposed to be the future of this franchise were shipped off to "build" this team.
Out of all of the transactions, only one stands above the rest. That was the Jacob Trouba trade.
For what the Rangers had to give up versus what they acquired in Trouba, it seemed like a trade that was too good to be true. The deal with the Winnipeg Jets included former Rangers defenseman Neal Pionk and the first-round selection that the Rangers originally acquired in the Kevin Hayes trade for Touba. Not to discredit Pionk in the slightest, he is a developing young player that has shown a lot of positive strides toward being a top-tier defenseman. However, Trouba's extensive experience in the NHL and proven ability to play was simply a better and safer option for the Rangers.
Related: Trouba Could Hold Key to Skjei's Resurgence
It begs the question, why should this deal be regarded as the move of the summer for the Rangers? After all, Trouba has only appeared in three regular-season games with the Rangers. Let's take a look.
What He Brings
Trouba has a very dynamic skill set that was missing from the Rangers defensive formula. He has a devastating physical game, along with an ability to move the puck and shoot it with ease. Through the first three games, he's blocked 10 pucks and gained 11 hits. Most importantly, after the buyout of Kevin Shattenkirk, the Rangers were in need of a power-play quarterback. He fits that role nicely and has been able to distribute the puck around to give the forwards the best possible scoring chance.
New York Rangers celebrate (Adam Hunger-USA TODAY Sports)
The Rangers have been in a downward spiral in recent years to get pucks to the opposing goaltender. With Trouba, as well as other key pick-ups like Panarin, this problem should be fixed. Through the first three match-ups, he has been able to help out from the blue line with nine shots on goal. That is good enough to be tied for second on the team with Panarin and is behind Mika Zibanejad, with 12 shots. He also leads all defensemen in shots on goal on the Rangers roster.
The Rangers will need Trouba to be a dependable top-pair defenseman for the entire season. The youth on the blue line has played adequately thus far, but it likely won't last for the rest of the season. Having him on the blue line for the Blueshirts is a much-needed security blanket. There is so much risk involved with each of the other two lines on defense. Libor Hajek and Adam Fox are the new kids on the block, Tony DeAngelo is on his way to becoming a solid offensive defenseman but it will take a bit more time, and Marc Staal is well into the third period of his career. Brady Skjei, who was supposed to be the Rangers' number-one guy at the blue line, performed well in only one of the three games thus far this season.
Why Is He So Important?
Obviously, the Blueshirt's defensive core is a mess. After allowing 47 shots to go through toward Henrik Lundqvist in the opening game of the season against the Jets, it is evident that the defense needed some changes. Those changes were made, and it worked in the Rangers' favor against the Ottawa Senators, as they only allowed 32 shots to go toward Alexandar Georgiev. Finally, he helped in holding the Edmonton Oilers to only 27 shots on goal.
The most important factor that Trouba brings to the Rangers is stability. He can blend into any situation and perform. In the first game of the season against the Jets, he saw time with Skjei at his left. Then for games number two and three, he was alongside Hajek. No matter the situation or the pairing, he will be a dependable defender for the Rangers.
New York Rangers defenseman Jacob Trouba (Adam Hunger-USA TODAY Sports)
Trouba can become the leader of this dismantled defense. In a perfect world, being reunited with his friend and fellow defenseman Skjei would be a perfect match in both line and leadership, but the two must be separated. Pairing each of them with a younger and inexperienced defenseman like Fox and Hajek is the right move. He can take these younger guys under his wing, much like Zibanejad has done with some forwards, like Lias Andersson and Brett Howden, and help them improve.
His Place in the Future?
The future is very uncertain for the Rangers. With a lot of young players, seven of them being 23 or younger, there is no real projection of how good this team can be. For Trouba, he will be an integral part of this team and to the success of it. After signing a seven-year, $56 million deal with a no-movement clause until 2023-24, he will be the Rangers "go-to" guy for years to come. Despite being friends, it will be a battle for the number one defenseman spot between Skjei and him.
The Rangers went out and got a bunch of necessary pieces to try and regain lost success. After finishing outside of the playoffs in back-to-back seasons, this could be the year that everything turns around. It will have to be a complete effort, though, and the pieces look like they were worth it in the first three games of the season.
Jacob Trouba's first goal as a Ranger comes against his former team pic.twitter.com/rtTaQyCHoz
— Pete Blackburn (@PeteBlackburn) October 4, 2019
Trouba, with four points (one goal, three assists) in the first three games of the season, was the best acquisition of the offseason. Sure, Panarin is a gamechanger, but what Trouba has done on a lackluster defensive unit is simply incredible and should not be ignored. Over the course of this season, he will be one of the more important Rangers and a direct link to whatever success they have.

By Lorna Greville in Lifestyle / Showbiz on 18 January 2013
Linda Mccartney Sir Paul McCartney Elvis Costello
Despite having been married twice since her death, Paul McCartney continues to show dedication to his first love and most prominent wife, Linda Mccartney. Since her death he has never stopped his involvement with her company, Linda McCartney Foods, which makes froze vegetarian food and meals, and as AFP report he has now recorded a song to be included in the latest advertisements for the brand.
Linda McCartney Foods haven't advertised via the television for 15 years, but it seems now is the time to begin a new campaign, and being the year 2013, of course the campaign has a hashtag: #LoveLinda.
According to the AFP, "The animation [of the advert] transports viewers into a fairy-tale world where characters such as Horse Boy, Napoleon Dog and Ballerina Cat join the McCartney family, including Linda who died in 1998, in a musical fanfare that culminates with a woodland feast." While this is going on, Paul and a band perform 'Heart of the Country' which he re-recorded with Elvis Costello, who is also vegetarian.

Sir Paul McCartney Linda Mccartney Elvis Costello
Sir Paul McCartney has recorded a song for a television advert to promote his late wife Linda's successful vegetarian food range, the company announced on Friday by posting a YouTube clip of the track. The McCartney family said the song is part of the #LoveLinda campaign they have been working on for the Linda Mccartney Foods brand.
It marks the first time in 15 years that the brand has done television advertising. It was created in 1991 by Linda, sold to Heinz in 2000 and sold again to Hain Celestial Group in 2006. The television advert shows the McCartney family in animated psychedelic form while Paul and a band perform a re-recorded version of his song Heart Of The Country, which appeared on 1971 album Ram. A voiceover is provided by singer-songwriter Elvis Costello, who has been a prominent vegetarian since the early 1980s. "Linda always talked well and made it seem that you wouldn't be joining a secret weird society by being vegetarian," Costello said. The animation features characters such as Horse Boy, Napoleon Dog and Ballerina Cat.
It will be broadcast for the first time on January 28 to launch a new range of Linda McCartney's chilled meat free foods.

The GOP Will Still War on Lynch
By Earl Ofari Hutchinson (Page 1 of 1 pages) 1 comment
Attorney General Loretta Lynch at long last won the first round of battle with the GOP with her confirmation. But it's only the first round. The forty-three GOP senators who vote against her confirmation made clear by their vote against her that she will be on the same political hot seat as former Attorney General Eric Holder. There are three reasons for their continuing war on her. The first is blatant partisan politics; to be more specific the GOP's relentless political undermining of President Obama. Lynch was a pawn in the GOP's prolonged campaign to obstruct, hector, harangue and where possible kill any and every Obama initiative, program, key judicial or administrative post nomination. The political one-upmanship against the administration will only intensify as the launch of the 2016 presidential campaign gets closer.
The second reason Lynch will continue to be a target is the crisis issue of police abuse and the Justice Department's role in dealing with the issue. Holder's aggressive campaign challenging police and city officials in Ferguson and other cities to rein in abusive practices and implement substantive reforms in training, policies and procedures in dealing with excessive force drew loud shouts from conservatives that Holder and the Justice Department had badly over stepped its bounds. GOP leaders want no repeat of that with Lynch. The issue loomed big in the five months her confirmation was held up. The GOP wanted clear assurances that she would not make police abuse a centerpiece of Justice Department concern on her watch. Lynch tread very carefully on this issue.
The even greater concern is voting rights. The GOP hammered Holder hard for aggressively filing lawsuits, issuing directives, and speaking out on the need to combat the innumerable subtle and overt GOP vote suppression ploys. This looms even bigger as an issue with the 2016 elections. GOP leaders are keenly aware that these ploys fell flat on their face in the 2012 presidential election. Black and Hispanic voters packed the voting booths in massive numbers. Their votes were the single biggest reason that Obama won re-election. In fact, the 2012 presidential election result was the final tipping point for the GOP. Though, it maintained its tight grip on the five Deep South states, and other Old Confederacy states, almost exclusively with the majority votes of white conservatives, the GOP saw the handwriting on the wall for the future. The increased number of blacks and Hispanics in the states would pose a mortal threat to its continued dominance in those states. But that could only happen if there no barriers in place to the registration of black and Hispanic voters.
The GOP's hoped for trump card to stave that off as long as possible was the Supreme Court. The conservatives on the court read the election tea leafs and quickly announced that they would take up a challenge to the 1965 Voting Rights Act. Chief Justice John Roberts bluntly said at the time that things had changed in the South and that blacks supposedly could vote everywhere in the South without any barriers or prohibitions. Clarence Thomas, to no surprise, went even further and flatly called Section 5 of the Act unconstitutional and left no doubt if and when he had the chance he'd knock the Act out completely.
The hook was the federal lawsuit by Shelby County, Alabama that claimed the Act was outdated, discriminatory, and a blatant federal intrusion into state's rights. The lawsuit explicitly wanted the centerpiece of the Act, Section 5 dumped. This is the provision that mandates that states get "preclearance" from the Justice Department before making any changes in voting procedures. State attorneys general in several states endorsed the Alabama County's challenge. The rest is now ugly history. The Supreme Court struck down this provision. President Obama and Holder quickly denounced the court's decision and urged Congress to take action to insure that voting rights were protected. The chance of that happening in a GOP controlled House was nil.
But this was only part of the story of the roadblocks the GOP has thrown up. A study by the Alliance for Justice, a Washington D.C. based, public interest group, has documented the legions of complaints and challenges filed by the Justice Department and voting rights groups to discriminatory changes that county registrars have made to eliminate or narrow down the number of voters in predominantly minority districts. There's no indication to date that in many districts that has changed.
That in effect tosses the ball back into the court of the Justice Department to be a vigilant watchdog on guard against any voting abuses, irregularities, and outright exclusion of minority voters and would be voters from the polls. That brings it back to Lynch. GOP leaders are determined that she not repeat what Holder did and go after these abuses. GOP senators sent a message with their overwhelming vote against her confirmation that they will continue to war on her to insure that that doesn't happen.

Wildlife Habitat and Flyways
The wildlife habitats along the Mississippi River are important to a large number of migratory birds. Mature forested floodplain habitats in the Upper Mississippi, usually consisting of maples, cottonwoods and willows, are important to colonial-nesting birds such as herons, egrets, and double-crested cormorants. Farther south in the Lower Mississippi alluvial valley, bald cypress, gum, elm and various species of oaks provide important breeding, migration and winter habitat for numerous migratory birds. Neotropical migratory birds depend on these forests and brushy habitats for migration and breeding; studies have demonstrated the importance of this migration corridor to the species of migrants whose numbers are declining. The Mississippi River floodplain forest is also important to the bald eagle both for nesting and wintering habitat.
Most of the area within the floodplain of the river is wetland or converted wetland; this type of habitat is vital to many species of dabbling ducks for both migration and breeding. Both blue-winged teal and mallards nest on islands or in grasslands adjacent to the river, while wood ducks use tree cavities in the forests. Most importantly, the large, deep open pools of the river created by dams are vital to diving ducks, chiefly canvasback, redhead, lesser scaup and ring-necked ducks. Chief species using the Mississippi alluvial valley, which extends from southern Illinois to the coastal marshes of Louisiana, are the Mississippi valley and eastern prairie populations of Canada geese, snow geese, lesser white-fronted geese, and ducks such as gadwall, mallard, green-winged teal, American wigeon, American black duck, and northern pintail. Many other species of ducks use the river wetlands in lesser numbers.
The Mississippi River supports one of the most diverse fisheries in the world. One-third of all freshwater fish species in North America (195 species, live in the Mississippi River (Fremling et al. 1989). The diversity of the species generally increases from north to south. This diverse abundance of fish depends on many different aquatic habitat types including tailwaters, main channel, main channel border, side channel, and backwater habitat.
In three of the four pools in the study area (Pool 24, Pool 25 and Pool 26), three aquatic zones occur. The upper end of each pool most closely mirrors the river's water level. In these areas, impoundment has had the least effect on the water levels. In this portion of the pools, marsh development is limited, and the pre-impoundment condition of deep sloughs and wooded islands are most common. As flows increase, the upper end of the pool becomes deeper until open river conditions exist. In the middle of each pool, impounded water is backed up over islands and floodplain wetland, spreading the river out over a large area. Water level remains relatively stable until open river conditions exist. Marsh development has occurred in the middle portion of the pools. Immediately above each dam (the lower pool), water was impounded to a depth that precluded most marsh development. At present, most of the lower pools' area is deep, open water except when flows increase and water level decreases. As noted for each zone of the pool, water levels change when pool operation is manipulated by use of a hinge point.
Upland erosion and the sedimentation in downstream areas are major causes of reduced water quality and habitat destruction in most mid-western rivers and streams. Sedimentation in the backwaters of the Upper Mississippi River is a significant environmental problem.
Impounding the river has slowed the river current and increased silt deposition. Impounding the river has created backwaters and side channel habitat which benefits species like the largemouth bass, bluegill, and crappie that prefer still water. Riverine and sediment-tolerant species like the channel catfish, buffalo, drum and sturgeon still predominate in areas with current such as the main channel and main channel border.
In recent years the National Audubon Society through the Audubon Center at Riverlands has partnered with the Corps to study migratory birds in floodplain forests to help better understand their habitat needs and develop appropriate conservation goals. The Center's staff and volunteers have completed several years of on the ground forest bird monitoring using a rigorous standardized protocol for forest birds. The data collected from this effort and subsequent analysis has led to the development of a draft Upper Mississippi River Bottomland Forest Avian Stewardship Plan. The purpose of this planning effort is to develop a framework by which river habitat managers and supporting organizations can continue to study birds, use the data to analyze changes in bird populations and implement conservation measures to protect and improve bird habitat into the future on public lands.

Moving Towards a Standard Operating Model for Kubernetes
In an episode of "Let's Talk" hosted by Swapnil Bhartiya, Weaveworks COO, Steve George discusses what Weaveworks solves for Kubernetes users.
"We've spoken to a lot of quite advanced Kubernetes users who have got Kubernetes up and running. They are operating in production, but their biggest complaint is that it takes too much time and effort. Most users want to just go on with their applications deployed into Kubernetes and operate it easily," Steve George, Weaveworks.
Everyone understands how to deploy, monitor, manage and look after Linux distributions. But in the Kubernetes world, nothing is standardized. People do things with custom-built tools. Everyone's building their own house in their own way. "What Weaveworks is doing is providing standardized workflows for how to deploy, configure, monitor, update and look after Kubernetes," he said.
Read the transcript below.
Swapnil: We have with us Steve George. You are the COO of Weaveworks. So first of all, welcome to the show.
Steve: Thanks very much.
Swapnil: It's the first day and it's just starting. Have you seen any keynotes?
Steve: I didn't see the keynotes this morning. We were too busy. The general energy in the conference is fantastic. The KubeCon conference continues to grow. There are people here who have a lot of expertise in Kubernetes but there are also a lot of people who are new to Kubernetes and who are just exploring and trying it out. In general, the cloud native landscape continues to develop with each conference that we go to. It's still in a really exciting phase.
Swapnil: From the Weaveworks perspective, when you say, it's evolving, and it's growing, what new trends are you seeing and new customers that excite you?
Steve: The way that Kubernetes is developing as an application platform for a wide variety of different applications and users is an exciting development. A few years ago, you were looking at very in-depth users, and increasingly, we see people who want to use a general application platform, but they're not necessarily Kubernetes experts nor do they want to be.
"Whether you're deploying stateful or stateless applications, you should be able to use the whole of the cloud native infrastructure and have a general company-wide ability to deploy and run your applications."
The other thing that's changing is that people are on-premise as well as in a variety of cloud infrastructures. That whole multi-cloud story is really developing.
Swapnil: As you mentioned, new players and users are coming in, With new customers, what new challenges are you seeing with these new workloads from the new players?
Steve: Both of those aspects are happening right now. Weaveworks is focused on the workflows and the way of operating Kubernetes in production. You need to deploy infrastructure which can be multiple numbers of clusters, as well as multiple numbers of applications. You also have a variety of different teams working on that and not all of those people are going to be Kubernetes experts.
We have something called GitOps which is all about configuration management, of Kubernetes, the infrastructure and the applications using that to deploy, monitor and manage in production. So from that perspective, GitOps is the ability to get from development through to pre-production and production.
The other thing that's changing is that people are deploying a variety of different applications and those applications bring with them more important requirements and constraints. We have a large number of enterprises that are now starting to deploy quite serious applications in production.
Swapnil: Can you explain what exactly is GitOps?
Steve: Ultimately what we're talking about is configuration management for Kubernetes. We've seen configuration management in many other areas of technology before. The fundamental tenet is that configuration management with GitOps allows us to know who deployed or who configured what, at what point in time, and how it was done.
That's important because as you move faster, at some point there'll be a problem in the configuration. If you have that stored in your configuration management system, then you can go back to a previous time. It's all about disaster recovery. With the confidence to easily recover from disaster, you can move as quickly as possible.
Swapnil: GitOps is one of the many offerings. Can you talk about the other components and how they all work together to make the life of a new user or customer easier?
Steve: We see the world split into two areas. One area is for cluster operators who need to be able to deploy and operate clusters. The other area is for application development and SRE teams who need to operate those applications, monitor them and look after them in production.
We do GitOps at the Kubernetes layer that's designed for operators. This is our Kubernetes distribution. For developers and SREs, we have Weave Cloud, which is a set of tooling that helps developers and SREs to deploy their applications. Weave Cloud gives you great observability tooling and it does monitoring with Prometheus. We deliver that as a SaaS service.
If you're a development team, and you just want to develop your applications and run them in your Kubernetes infrastructure as easily as possible, you can do that with Weave Cloud. You can be running Kubernetes on AWS EKS or GCP or on-premise or in Rancher; it works with any Kubernetes.
Our infrastructure product, Enterprise Kubernetes Platform is all about GitOps for Kubernetes and deploying Kubernetes and monitoring and managing Kubernetes in production. Weave Cloud and EKP together gives you a complete stack.
Swapnil: GitOps is a good example of solving a problem. What is the biggest problem you see right now that the Kubernetes community still needs to solve?
Steve: For us, it's more of a higher-level problem that we're trying to solve, rather than a specific technology or component. We talk to lots of advanced Kubernetes users who've got Kubernetes up and running, and they're operating in production. But their biggest complaint is that it takes too much time and effort.
We all like playing with technology and that's why we come to these conferences. But from a higher level business strategy perspective, most users want to be able to get on with their applications, deploy them into Kubernetes and operate it all very easily. That's why we have GitOps.
For us, the higher-level problem we're solving is basically the operating model for Kubernetes. If you think back to an earlier time with Linux, everyone understood how to deploy, monitor, manage and look after Linux distributions. But in the Kubernetes world, those things are not standardized. People use their own hand-built tooling. Everyone is building their own house in their own way.
"What Weaveworks is doing is providing standardized workflows for how to deploy, configure, monitor, update and look after Kubernetes" -- Steve George, Weaveworks
Swapnil: You may choose to not answer this question, but I ask everybody this. We're here at a tech conference and I want to lighten the mood a bit. When you get free time from work, what do you do?
Steve: I'm really into mountaineering. That's actually my main hobby, I spend a lot of time in the French Alps.
Swapnil: Thank you Steve for talking to me today and I look forward to seeing you again.

Coping with Doping
Getting Off the Sidelines
Paul Massaro
How the United States can confront Russian doping and start to fix international sport governance.
For many countries, victory in world sporting events is not just a matter of national pride and individual achievement, but also a means to cultivate and project power on the domestic and international stage. Although this is not a new phenomenon—recall Hitler's use of the 1936 Olympics—today it has become more sophisticated and subtle and includes troubling new methods, avenues, and surrogates. Of these, doping fraud—the systematic application of doping through performance-enhancing drugs and related corrupt activities to defraud athletes of their rightful glory and winnings—has become especially important.
The United States is unique in its commercially oriented, highly decentralized, and largely privatized national sport governance structure. Unlike other nations, the United States has no ministry of sport. No congressional committee—or even subcommittee—is dedicated to the oversight of athletics. As a result, the United States has often remained on the sidelines of international sport governance, while other nations have taken advantage of the absence of any international oversight to harm U.S. citizens through state-sponsored doping fraud in international competitions, including the Olympics.
The one exception to U.S. disengagement in international sport governance was the 2015 FBI investigation into the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), which governs world soccer, including the World Cup. During the investigation, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) indicted more than twenty-five top FIFA officials and associates across the world for alleged decades-long racketeering, wire fraud, and money laundering. U.S. law enforcement had successfully identified that something is terribly wrong at the highest levels of global sport.
However, it was not until the dramatic revelation of institutionalized Russian doping by whistleblower Dr. Grigory Rodchenkov that the U.S. public truly understood this pervasive corruption and the enforcement gaps in the framework of international sport governance. Dr. Rodchenkov exposed undeniable evidence that numerous Olympic games had been compromised by Russian conspirators—most notably the Sochi Winter Olympics, where Russia committed doping fraud on an unprecedented scale.
The Russian government, like the East German government in the 1970s and 1980s, designed new drugs for its athletes to enhance their athletic performance and systematically encouraged or forced their athletes to take those drugs to secure victories that would enhance the image of their government. But because anti-doping laboratories and organizations had been created to make sure what the East Germans did could not be done again, the Russians had to go even further, corrupting laboratories and anti-doping groups and international sports organizations like the IOC to make sure that Russian fraud would not be discovered, and that, even if it were, it would be covered up to evade punishment.
Still, U.S. policymakers may be tempted to see these Russian conspirators as "cheaters" rather than "fraudsters." This would allow officials to continue to assume that the rest of the world views international sport like the United States—as an expression of global camaraderie and an opportunity for talented, hardworking athletes to compete for the greatest of honors, and inspire others to do the same. What the United States must recognize is the systemic nature of the problem and the importance of world sport to autocratic states.
For Russia, victory in international sporting events is a critical component of the state's domestic and foreign policy agenda and is advanced by Vladimir Putin's preferred political technique: the weaponization of corruption. With the recent DOJ indictment of seven hackers in relation to Olympic doping, it has become clear that doping fraud in sports is just one cog in a larger scheme of systemic international corrupt practices that include bribery, money laundering, and hacking, among other crimes. Unfortunately, international sport governance bodies have proven ineffective in countering this phenomenon since they, in large part, are already either victims or willing facilitators.
The United States should take all necessary action to clean up international sport, both to counter geopolitical adversaries and to protect itself and its citizens from the corrupt practices of autocrats. Passage of the Rodchenkov Anti-Doping Act (RADA), which would criminalize doping fraud conspiracies in international competitions, would be a powerful first step.
Call It "Doping Fraud"
State-run doping is a tool of authoritarian foreign policy. To many autocrats, major sporting events shore up the legitimacy of their regimes at home, while pushing the image of a constructive member of the international community abroad. It becomes centrally important that their national athletes triumph to demonstrate the superiority of their oppressive systems.
During the Sochi Olympics, a bevy of state agencies—the Moscow Anti-Doping Laboratory, the Sochi Laboratory, the Russian Anti-Doping Agency, Russia's Ministry of Sport, and the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation (the successor to the KGB)—all conspired to commit fraud. Through a convoluted scheme, after the Russian government gave its athletes drugs to improve their performance, urine samples were tampered with and swapped so that doped athletes tested clean. This swapping occurred right under the nose of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), which maintains the World Anti-Doping Code and monitors the compliance of national anti-doping bodies with it. WADA officials were present in the Sochi lab but apparently saw nothing.
However, this was far from the only instance of doping fraud. WADA had long suspected the Moscow Lab of systematic doping, and once instituted proceedings against its director, yet Russia consistently escaped serious sanctions. From 2011 to 2015, more than 1,000 Russian athletes were beneficiaries of state-run doping and were protected from discovery or sanctions by state-run pay-offs, and from intimidation of anyone who could undermine the scheme or punish the athletes.
This fraud has gone unpunished. Not a single individual involved in the years-long Russian doping scheme has faced legal consequences. Some of them have actually been promoted—most notably Vitaly Mutko, who was elevated from Minister of Sport to Deputy Prime Minister. Moreover, few defrauded athletes—those who would have won competitions had they not faced government-enhanced competitors—have received compensation. Only a handful have been awarded their rightfully earned medals following revelations about those who had finished ahead of them. Sometimes that recognition comes too late. U.S. bobsledder Steve Holcomb had two medals upgraded from bronze to silver but died prior to the announcement.
Even athletes who do eventually have their medals upgraded can miss out on millions of dollars in rollovers, bonuses, and sponsorships that they would have obtained had they not been defrauded. This is in addition to the emotional toll of having been wrongfully denied a lifetime's achievement only to unceremoniously receive a medal in the mail. They do not stand on the top of the medal stand, they do not benefit from millions of people seeing them crowned as champions, and when they receive a medal years later there is no fan or commercial interest in their retroactively recognized performance.
For individuals who dedicate decades of their lives to the perfection of a sport, this nonchalant theft of life achievement can be devastating. U.S. skeleton racer Katie Uhlaender, who was defrauded of her medal by a doped Russian athlete at the 2014 Sochi Olympics, had it awarded back to her when the International Olympic Committee (IOC) stripped the medals from those who committed doping fraud in that Olympics. However, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), which resolves disputes between athletes and sport governance entities, wrongly overturned the IOC's decision, depriving Uhlaender once again of her rightfully earned victory.
Finally, as with most fraudulent activity, guilty parties will often seek to retaliate against the whistleblowers who brought their corrupt practices to light. For example, Dr. Rodchenkov faces threats to his life and has been forced to live in hiding since his revelations. High-level Russian officials have called for him to be "shot" as Stalin would have done, and Putin has made direct and public attempts to discredit him for his whistleblowing.
Autocrats have few incentives not to engage in doping fraud. They celebrate the accomplishments of their athletes on the world stage and achieve their foreign policy goals through those achievements. Even if a sports organization later takes a medal from an athlete, the desired benefits toward international diplomacy have already been achieved. In addition, there has been no prospect of punishment of the government or sports officials who are responsible for the fraud.
Unlike many of the other forms of corruption they engage in, such as money laundering or bribery, doping fraud is not a criminal act, despite its clearly criminal consequences. Any disputes are conducted through international sport governance bodies that prevent the injured parties from bringing their claims to courts but require the disputes to be adjudicated confidentially before private arbitral panels without the power to investigate or to punish those truly responsible. Autocrats understand this and have done everything in their power to ensure that decisions made in these bodies will reflect their desired outcome.
International Sport Governance Bodies Have Failed
The international sport governance structure is sprawling, but the two most important bodies are the IOC, which governs the Olympics, and FIFA. The IOC and FIFA are complemented by CAS and WADA.
WADA has been central to the story of the Russian doping scandal. It released both the Independent Commission report in 2015, which concluded that a "deeply rooted culture of cheating" exists in Russia, and the McLaren Report in 2016, which confirmed Dr. Rodchenkov's claims about the state-run doping program in the Sochi Olympics.
Due to the overwhelming evidence of state-run doping, the IOC suspended Russia from the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang. According to The Economist, it took seven investigative reports and seven years to achieve this suspension.
The newspaper notes, "With a budget of just $30m per year, WADA is wielding a knife in a highly-charged arms race. Even when it finds clear evidence of systematic doping, as it did in Russia. . . .there is no guarantee that the IOC will act on it quickly and decisively." Yet this suspension was still good news.
However, that is where the good news ends. Despite the official suspension at the Pyeongchang Olympics, many Russian athletes were still allowed to compete under the designation "Olympic Athlete from Russia." Moreover, just days after the close of the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, the IOC lifted Russia's suspension. After seven investigative reports and seven years, Russia was only suspended from one Winter Olympics (none of the Russian summer Olympic athletes were ever prevented from competing), and then only barely.
Making matters worse, WADA voted to reinstate the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA) in late September 2018, despite RUSADA's refusal to comply with two of the major requirements for its reinstatement: accepting the findings of WADA's McLaren Report and providing data and evidence from, as well as access to, the Moscow laboratory. Russia was permitted reinstatement despite its failure to produce thousands of stored urine samples, which would likely provide additional evidence of its doping fraud program, including the identification of many other complicit athletes. When Russia then missed a crucial December 31, 2018 deadline to turn over these samples—the one concession of RUSADA's wrongful reinstatement—WADA once again gave Russia a free pass by voting not to suspend it.
Russia's status has been fully restored in the international sport governance structure without addressing any of the underlying problems. Whether due to apathy or complicity—and there is good reason to believe it may be the latter, given the reputation of international sport governance bodies and those who run them—Russia has fully achieved its foreign policy aims and clean athletes are left holding the bag. If anything, this process has served to incentivize corruption, encouraging further doping fraud and demonstrating that this fraud will be tolerated. It is a further confirmation to many that all of international sport competition is corrupt and a world to be shunned, not a world that provides inspiration. It is a betrayal of the spirit of sport. A new approach is needed.
The Rodchenkov Anti-Doping Act (RADA)
Introduced in the House of Representatives by Reps. Sheila Jackson-Lee (TX-18) and Dr. Michael Burgess (TX-26) and in the Senate by Sens. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) and Roger Wicker (R-MS), RADA would enable criminal doping fraud conspiracy cases to be brought in U.S. courts, provided they occur at a "major international sport competition." This standard includes a threshold regarding both the participation of U.S. and foreign athletes as well as a requirement that organizing entities receive sponsorship from companies doing business in the United States or are compensated for the right to broadcast their competition there. The legislation would fill an important gap in the authority of U.S. law enforcement and serve as a deterrent to those considering engaging in doping fraud, while potentially providing a portal to gain visibility into a wider net of international corrupt practices, such as money laundering and bribery, that are directly connected to doping fraud.
The authority to prosecute doping fraud gives investigators and prosecutors a powerful new avenue to pursue those threatening the integrity of international sport or seeking to abuse it for power politics purposes. For example, with this authority, the recent indictment brought against Russian agents for hacking U.S. and international anti-doping agencies and athletes could have included additional indictments for doping fraud conspiracy. The extensive evidence provided by Dr. Rodchenkov could also be mined to develop further cases.
The global reaction to the FBI's investigation of FIFA demonstrates well what to expect from the enforcement of RADA. Countries and athletes around the world hailed the investigation, with a British MP commenting, "The chickens are finally coming home to roost." However, as to be expected, Russia and some corrupt FIFA officials protested it. There is no reason to believe it would be any different here. The fulfillment of national security goals and the generation of international goodwill, along with the protection of hard-working athletes around the world who achieve their results fairly, are reason enough to enact RADA.
The United States must quickly wake up to the corruption present in international sport and the specific threat presented by doping fraud. The problem shows no sign of stopping. Without the proper deterrents in place, foreign autocrats will continue to see the doping of their athletes and concealment of their wrongdoing to be a highly beneficial, risk-free strategy, and the United States can expect the international sport governance structure to continue to bow to autocratic pressure. With its massive sports market and rule of law tradition, the United States has a unique opportunity to clean up international sport before its corrupting influence causes additional damage in the United States. RADA is the perfect place to start.
