Hiihtoa
Olen hiihdellyt Kittilässä viikossa noin 150 km. Aluksi lihakset kipeytyivät mutta nyt kroppa alkaa tottua. Tavoitteena on hiihtää kolmessa viikossa noin 400 km. Sen jälkeen yritän aloittaa lenkkeilyn, joka on ollut tauolla viimeiset pari kolme vuotta. Hiihtäminen antaa kivan peruskunnon ennen lenkkeilyä.

On sääli
että suomalaiset lääkärit eivät voi Internetin kautta lukea Terveystieteiden keskuskirjaston lääketieteellisiä lehtiä, vaikka olisivat valmiit niitä lukemaan vapaa-ajallaan ja maksamaan kohtuullisen maksun käyttöoikeudesta.
Ei auta SOTE-uudistus, jos lääkäreiltä evätään mahdollisuus ylläpitää ammattitaitoaan.
Taustalla on tsaarinaikainen byrokratia, laiskuus ja kateus.

Yleisradion anarkistit
1960-70-luvuilla pyrkivät Yleisradion anarkistit kotiuttamaan kommunismia Suomeen. Kun se ei onnistunut, on näköjään nyt päätetty juurruttaa muhamettilaisuutta Suomeen.

Vaikka digilehdistä on kohkattu viime aikoina niin käsi sydämelle:
Kumpaa luet aamulla mieluummin, digilehteä tietokoneen ruudulta vai paperilehteä ?
Täytyy myöntää, että paperilehden luku on miellyttävämpää ja helpompaa.
Tässäpä on ristiriita. Paperilehtien levikki tippuu, koska lukijat olettavat saavansa saman informaation ja vielä enemmän Internetin kautta ja ilmaiseksi.

Kreikka
Kreikka vaatii Saksalta sotakorvauksia 2. maailmansodan tuhoista.
Johtopäätös: Koska Suomi ei miehittänyt Saksaa, voimme iloisesti luopua seuraavista Kreikan tukimaksuista.

April 2003: Sergei Yushenkov, Duma deputy and co-chairman of the Liberal Russia party, gunned down at the entrance to his apartment building. Yushenkov was serving at the time as co-chairman of the so-called Kovalev Commission, which was investigating the 1999 apartment bombings in Russia and the Kremlin’s possible role.
July 2003: Novaya Gazeta reporter Iuri Shchekochikhin, investigating at the time high-level corruption in the law enforcement agencies, dies from what is believed to have been poisoning with Thallium. Shchekochikhin was also a member of the Kovalev Commission.

October 2006: Novaya Gazeta reporter Anna Politkovskaya, known for her opposition to the second war in Chechnya and President Putin, gunned down in the stairwell of her apartment building. Although police eventually arrested and convicted five of participating in and carrying out the killing, the mastermind was never identified.
November 2006: Former FSB officer Alexander Litvinenko, an outspoken critic of Putin, who had been granted asylum in Britain, poisoned by polonium-210, a highly lethal and very rare substance, which the killers inadvertently spread all over London.
November 2006: Maksim Maksimov, investigative reporter for the St. Petersburg weekly Gorod, declared dead on November 30, 2006, two years after he was reported missing. At the time he went missing he was investigating the unsolved 1998 murder in St. Petersburg of Galina Starovoitova.
March 2007: Ivan Safronov, apparently pushed to his death from his Moscow apartment window. A respected correspondent for Kommersant, Safronov was investigating a secret sale of Russian missiles and fighter jets to Syria and Iran.

January 2009: Russian human rights lawyer Stanislav Markelov shot and killed on a Moscow Street, along with a reporter for Novaya Gazeta, Anastasia Barburova.
July 2009: Natalya Estemirova, human rights activist and contributor to Novaya Gazeta, shot dead near the capital of Chechnya, Grozny. She reported on extra-judicial killings, abductions, and torture in Chechnya by federal and local authorities.
November 2009: Sergei Magnitsky, a Russian accountant who had made allegations about large-scale theft in the government, died while languishing ill in prison after being arrested on false charges.
April 2013: Mikhail Beketov, died from apparent complications arising from a November 2008 attack by unknown assailants that crushed his skull and left him in a coma for months. Beketov was a journalist who reported on government corruption involving the highly controversial construction of a highway through the Khimki Forest, near Moscow.
