December 11, 2009 (CHICAGO) --Some Chicago ministers are calling for more government attention to the recession's impact on minority communities.Rev. Jesse Jackson and Fr. Michael Pfleger joined forces Friday at St. Sabina church's resource and employment center on the city's South Side.
According to the Chicago Reporter magazine, the area has the nation's second highest unemployment rate, next to Detroit.
Reverend Jackson says if America has the money to go to war, it can find funding for the country's struggling communities.
"We need the same things that, in a real sense, Afghanistan needs: urgency, priority, time table, a budget, economic reconstruction and a green zone," Jackson said.
The Chicago reporter magazine reported that the collective unemployment rate for the Auburn Gresham, Englewood, Washington Heights and West Englewood South Side neighborhoods was 23.2 percent last year.

Airport punctuality an emerging KPI for the MICE marketOAG, the global leader in air travel intelligence, is today announcing the results of the OAG Punctuality League 2015, the industry's most comprehensive annual ranking of on-time performance (OTP) for the world's airlines and airports. For the first time, this year's league table incorporates enhanced depth and coverage from OAG's newly consolidated flight status and day-of-travel database, OAG flightview.
In the 'Top Global Meetings and Conventions Cities' category, new for 2015, OAG reveals that Copenhagen is the best city in the world for OTP, rated by the combination of OTP of all airports in that city, with the highest average for on-time flights at 88.53%. According to a 2015 report on the most popular meetings and conventions cities by the International Convention and Congress Association (ICCA), Copenhagen was the 13th most popular conference city by number of meetings globally, having fallen from 8th place in the prior year's report. Copenhagen also tops 2015's 'Best Medium Airports' in OAG's Punctuality League.
Berlin reaches second place in OAG's league with an average OTP of 86.3% although the city only sits fourth in ICCA's popularity report. Vienna reaches third place in OAG's league with an OTP of 85.12% and is ranked second in the ICCA's most popular conference cities report. Vienna is closely followed by Singapore in fourth place (84.8% OTP and seventh in the ICCA ranking) and Stockholm takes fifth place with 84.2%.
The ICCA report places Paris in first place as the most popular meetings and convention city but OAG's Punctuality League lists the city at 14th with an average OTP of 75.25%. There is a dramatic gap between the popularity of London and its on-time performance. The ICCA reports London as the sixth most popular city, however, OAG's Punctuality League only places London in 16th with an OTP of just 71.50%.
John Grant, senior analyst, OAG, says: "The OTP rankings of airports will always differ across the regions as operational issues such as congestion, competition from other transport modes and scheduling come into play. By including the top meetings and conventions cities in our Punctuality League report, businesses can identify which cities are most, or least, likely to suffer delays – ultimately making decisions on which city to hold meetings in easier. With such an impressive OTP result, perhaps we will see Copenhagen rising up the popular Meetings and Conventions Cities charts next year.
"The Punctuality League benchmarking tool is a powerful 'key performance indicator' as well as a potential service differentiator for marketing the products to travellers. An airline's schedule is a key element of what the traveller is buying – passengers need to be able to plan around realistic and reliable arrival times and connecting time requirements."
The Top Global Meetings and Conventions Cities is a new addition to OAG's annual Punctuality League. From a database of more than 50 million flight records, and incorporating data from OAG's flightview flight status database, OAG produces the annual benchmarking report for the OTP of Top Airports (Small; Medium; Large), Top Airlines (Mainline; Low-Cost Carriers, or 'LCCs') and Airlines by Region (Europe Middle East & Africa or 'EMEA'; China; Asia Pacific; The Americas). For 2015, OAG has also introduced new categories for Most Improved Airports and Airlines and also benchmarks OAG's Megahubs.

More and more people are now engaging in cooking. Because of the popularity of cooking shows and reality shows on preparing food, buying cookware online is now becoming in demand. Here are some benefits of buying pots and pans through the cyberspace:
Informed choice – The Internet is aimed to inform people about many things, especially on the things that they are about to buy. Whilst you are in process of buying cookware online, you can surf the net to know the relevant information about the materials of the thing you're buying as well as the feedback of its existing or former users. You can get some of this info from the sales agents in physical stores, but their knowledge about the things they are selling is often limited. Thus, buying online is more objective.
More options – Many online stores offer a better product line than their physical counterparts. You can only see the product if there are stocks. Online stores often post the photos and other relevant details about the product whether it is still available or not.
Latest models – Manufacturers can easily post their latest models online through photos. No need to transport a sample model to physical retailers. You can see the newest brands even fresh out of the factories. It takes time to ship the products to the retailers.
Discounted price and coupons – Since they don't have to spend for the operation of physical stores such as rent space in malls, pay utilities and maintenance fees and hire sales attendants, they can slash down the prices of their products lower than those sold in physical stores. What's more, most e-commerce sites offer coupons, freebies and other additional promos to further market their products.
Free delivery – Many cookware items are cumbersome to transport them in your car. Some of them should be handled with care. Delivery won't be a problem if you purchase them online. Most of them are shipped through a moving company, which makes their living transporting products efficiently.
Good for gifting – Buying cookware online is a great gift idea for mothers and wives. You don't need to bring the things you are giving as gifts. This makes your gift more of a surprise.

Adopting a small pet – What you need to know about Rabbits
Rabbits, when provided with good care, can live up to 8-10 years. They are very active and need a lot of space to run and exercise. With patience, they can be litter trained which will make a difference when you plan to let your bunny run free in your home. Please bear in mind however that unneutered male rabbits still will spray.
Rabbits are social animals. They are very intelligent and curious and bond strongly with the family. Unneutered males can be aggressive and tend to fight with other males, or even nip and scratch the family members. Unspayed females can be territorial. That is why it is best to have them neutered/spayed at an early age. If you would like to have 2 or more rabbits, best is to have sterilized both male and female.
Being prey animals, they do not like to be picked up. If not handled correctly they can break their spine by kicking back with their hind legs. Always pick up a bunny with one hand under the chest and with the other support the back legs. With this in mind, rabbits might not be suitable pets for younger children that do not have developed motor skills. And because they can bite and scratch, they can be intimidating for small children.
There are many breeds of Rabbits available. From the Dwarf breeds to the giant breeds, these rabbits can weigh 7-10 kg. Most popular breeds are the Hollander, French Ear Lop and Dwarf.
It is important to check the coat of your rabbit often as some tend to get problems with parasites. Something which can be easily prevented.
Longhaired breeds will require brushing at least 3 times per week to keep the coat neat and tangle free. If you give a bath to a bunny, please make sure they are well dried after as they do tend to get cold very easily. Rabbit's teeth grow constantly and are worn off by chewing. You will need to provide your bunny with chew toys made especially for them. Provide a lot of hay and dry food pellets to help them keep their teeth in good shape and their gut working properly. Check the teeth regularly, as if they are overgrown, the rabbit will not be able to eat. Overgrown teeth need to be trimmed regularly, your vet can support you with this.

Fighting For Her Rightful Place In History: The Claudette Colvin Story
Rosa Parks has been credited with being the mother of the civil rights movement. But it was not her arrest that led to the desegregation of the buses in Montgomery Alabama. It was because of a 15-year-old girl named Claudette Colvin, whose act of civil disobedience 9 months earlier led to a lawsuit and ultimately a Supreme Court ruling that changed the laws of a city and eventually a nation. Colvin tells her story to 1010 WINS' Larry Mullins.

Many professions have Professional Indemnity (P.I.) Insurance in place to protect themselves in the event of (often expensive) litigation claims.
In some states it is mandatory for certain building professionals to carry P.I. cover and many other professions have voluntary or association based schemes.
Who should consider Professional Indemnity insurance:
- Building & Construction companies
- Architects
- Building Designers
- Interior Designers
- Energy Raters, BASIX Assessors & Accredited Nathers Assessors

With the continued growth of the Building Industry Solutions Building Designers and Draftspersons Scheme, a Public Liability Insurance Option is now available (in addition to the Professional Indemnity Cover) through B.I.S., also underwritten by CGU Insurance Ltd. (an IAG Company).
Public Liability provides cover for Third Party Injury or Property Damage that occurs both on your property or business premises in the course of your day to day activities, and also off site as a result of your actions or activities. Amounts of cover usually vary between $5,000,000 and $20,000,000.
While generally not compulsory, if you are undertaking projects for the government or one of the larger corporations, it may be a condition of your contract or tender.
This Public Liability insurance option is available to B.I.S. Scheme Members, and is extremely price competitive due to the low risk nature of the profession.

Research Centers
ASIALICS is a network among scholars, practitioners and policymakers who are interested in a learning, innovation and competence building system in Asia. It has a cooperative relationship with the Global Network for the Economics of Learning, Innovation, and Competence Building Systems (GLOBELICS). ASIALICS aims to explore and develop the concept of learning, innovation and competence building as an analytical framework. The objective of ASIALICS is to stimulate the establishment of knowledge based strategies for economic development in Asia. The idea is to bring together interesting issues about what is going on in Asian countries and companies and to share experiences regarding methodology, analytical results and policies.
Asia has been a serious player not only in science, technology and innovation but also in linking different cultures of the world. This is in line with the ongoing Asia-wide cooperation schemes that emphasize knowledge and experiences sharing and joint efforts to promote knowledge-based and learning economies. To achieve this aspiration, a group of Asian scholars from Thailand, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, China and Vietnam with strong support from GLOBELICS held the first international conference on Asian innovation systems in Bangkok, Thailand in April 2004. About 150 professionals who participated in the seminar agreed to organize the ASIALICS conference annually, publish a journal and book on Asian innovation systems and clusters, and explore possibilities of joint research and training in this field.
Following the first international conference in Bangkok, ASIALICS organized the second International Conference in April 2005 in Jeju Island, Korea. The Third international conference was held in Shanghai, China in April 2006, organized by Tongji University. The fourth international conference was held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in July 2007, organized by University of Malaya. The fifth international conference was held in Bangalore, India in April 2008, organized by the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore. The 6th international conference was held in Hong Kong from 6-7 July 2009, organized by the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. The 7th international conference was organized by Chung-Hua Institute for Economic Research (CIER) in Taipei, Taiwan in April 2010. The National Institute for Science and Technology Policy and Strategy Studies (NIST-PASS) in Hanoi, Vietnam organized the 8th international conference in July 2011.
Asialics International Conference seeks to explore is how innovation systems in Asia are linked to global innovation networks on the one hand, and how emerging interactions within and among innovation systems are shaping their performance on the other hand. The promotion of interactions among innovators – through university-industry linkages, global production chains, or in innovative clusters – is becoming a key priority for innovation policies. One area of particular interest is the interactions between research and technology organizations (RTO) and other innovation actors such as universities and industry. Specific objectives of the conference are as follows:
- Assessing various policies, management strategies and future trends related to innovation at the regional, national and firm levels in Asia, especially in times of global political, economic and societal challenges, and their impacts on development and inclusive growth of Asian SMEs as a mechanism in enhancing the growth and sustainability of Asian economies
- Enabling learning on policy and management strategies to take place across Asian countries
- Extending the frontiers of academic research
- Facilitating cross-border networking and research collaboration
- Promoting the interchange of ideas among innovation policy and management research communities in Asia
- Understanding the role of entrepreneurship education in the promotion of creative and innovative ways of thinking among the ASEAN yout

"Xena…please let me…." Ephiny started. Xena stopped walking and turned suddenly.
"Let you explain what Ephiny?" Xena asked. Ephiny searched Xena's eyes for forgiveness, but only found pain. "When I needed you most you chose your queen over me."
"It's my duty!" Ephiny yelled suddenly angry that Xena was angry at her for doing her duty. "An Amazon's first duty is to protect her Queen."
"Protect your queen, your queen caused the death of my son!" Xena yelled.
"I thought you had forgiven her for that," Ephiny told her suggesting that Xena had not truly forgiven Gabrielle. Xena sneered.
"No, I forgave her, I'm merely repeating what we all thought. If it had been Xenon I would have been by your side helping you through it because I loved you. I knew what loyalties I owed to you and which to Gabrielle."
"And I knew my loyalties as well," Ephiny defended. Xena shook her head.
"Did you really Ephiny?" Xena asked. "How many Amazons in your tribe hundreds? They all have a duty to their queen, she didn't need you, I did. Joxer who she scorns every day whose love she takes for granted stood by her waiting wanting to comfort her. And all I had was my sorrow, no one there to help me through, no comfort just a manipulating little god of war."
Ephiny suddenly realized the weight of Xena's sorrow, she had never once searched for Xena, and made sure she was okay. She had tended to Gabrielle who was surrounded by people who loved her, and Xena had no one. No, she did have someone, Ephiny realized, and that someone had turned away from her as if it were her fault.
"Ephiny please don't make this worse than ever just go back to your happy little village. I don't love you anymore and it's clear you never loved me." Ephiny frowned as she walked Xena walk away. She loved Xena, she had since that night they had discovered it wasn't the Centaurs who had killed their princess. Ephiny hurried after Xena.
"Xena give us a chance to work through this please," Ephiny told her as she found her sitting with her back to her looking down over a hillside at the open country. Some Amazon children who should have been at lessons or chores played.
"We don't have a chance, I can't love you anymore."
"Can't?" Ephiny asked. " Xena there's no can't loving someone, I can't go on with my life and pretend I dun love you because you shun me."
"Well you will have too." Xena stood and turned walking pass Ephiny.
"Xena, you loved me once, you can love me again despite my sins, and I will make every day count to make it up to you," Ephiny told her. "You loved me once, and you still love me now." Xena looked at Ephiny surprised at her fierceness in her voice as she attempted to claim her back. She only saw love, hope, and guilt in her eyes.
"Ephiny there's really nothing you can do."
"I can give up being regent to Solari," Ephiny told her. "When this is all over with Brutus, I'll do it. I can't live like this anymore, I have missed you every day, and it's time I stopped being stubborn. We both deserve to be happy."
"You would give that up for me, leave them?" Ephiny nodded.
"We can visit, I know living here isn't for you, but all amazons deserve love even the regent." Xena moved closer to Ephiny without taking their eyes away from one another they kissed and hugged each other as if they hadn't seen each other in a long time.
"When this is all over?" Xena asked.
"When this is all over," Ephiny promised.
After the endgame:
"Ephiny," Gabrielle cried. Ephiny lay dead in Xena's arms murdered at the hands of Brutus. Xena let her tears fall, how many years had been wasted in anger and when they were finally going to be together, one of them was snatched away by death's warm embrace. They gave her a proper Amazon Queen burial.
"You told me I loved you once," Xena whispered to Ephiny's grave. "But the truth is I loved you always."

Wrote this six years ago. Nothing's changed.
One of my favorite movies is 'Bull Durham'. And one of my favorite scenes in 'Bull Durham' is the scene in which Crash tells Annie what he believes:
Crash Davis: After 12 years in the minor leagues, I don't try out. Besides, uh, I don't believe in quantum physics when it comes to matters of the heart.
Annie Savoy: What do you believe in, then?
Crash Davis: Well, I believe in the soul, the cock, the pussy, the small of a woman's back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days.
It's hard for me to choose which of Lex's posts were my favorite but his Beliefs post is right up there. I was going to post it in it's entirety but someone pointed out the etiquette so I'll give you a glimpse of his 'Beliefs' and you can pop over and read the rest. And then, like I did, you can stay a while and read everything else he wrote. Because, damn, was he good. (edited: the blog is lost. However, some of it has been salvaged and can be found at The Lexicans.)
I believe that human life is sacred.
I believe that democracy is the worst possible form of government, except for all the others.
I believe that liberals are builders, and conservatives are defenders. I believe that both are important.
I believe that government's primary functions should be to defend the borders and deliver the mail in a timely fashion. Everything else is pretty much discretionary, open to debate and subject to revision. People don't really want to be governed, but they need to be. Still, I believe that government is best which governs least.
I believe that choices are actions, and that actions have consequences. If you didn't pick up on this growing up, you weren't paying attention.
I believe that a market economy offers the best opportunity to live a good life to the most number of people. If you believe differently, I'd like to see your analysis.
I believe that humanity is not a birthright, but a testable proposition. Notwithstanding my belief that human life is sacred, I believe that society has the right to defend itself against people who commit horrible crimes, and punish them proportionately. I believe that right includes the ultimate sanction. I believe that there are those who look like us that are not of us, who by their acts of inhumanity have proven that they are not human in that fundamental way that separates us from other mammals. I shed no tears when vicious murderers are put down, pour encourager les autres.
I believe that people of good will may disagree. I believe the other guy often has a point. I think he probably got there through a valid process. I don't believe that disagreeing with him necessarily makes me a bad person. I believe that anyone who truly believes that it does is not worth arguing with. If you don't agree, please see preceding belief.
And I believe the good die young.
And for now, I am going to bid adieu. I need some time to process this and right now, my grief is overwhelming. Rather than blather on and on, I'm going to take a breather. Not sure when I'll be back. Go hug your loved ones and tell them you love them.
Edited: It's been six years and it still hurts. It always will. Nothing has changed. The world is still diminished without you here. So much has happened between then and now that I long to discuss with you, gain your insight on, and derive reassurance that we're maybe not going to hell in a handbasket. Your realistic optimism was always so comforting.

The U.S. is slapping heavy taxes on metal imports from Vietnam, saying China is utilizing the nation as a approach to dodge earlier penalties.
Sure metal merchandise Vietnam is promoting to the U.S. are being produced from Chinese language supplies, the U.S. Division of Commerce mentioned in a statement late Tuesday.
American steelmakers complained final yr that Chinese language corporations gave the impression to be avoiding huge tariffs by diverting merchandise to Vietnam for "minor processing" earlier than they have been shipped to the U.S.
Related: Trump's top trade issues: Where they stand
The Commerce Division took up the case in November. It hit Vietnam on Tuesday with duties of greater than 500% on cold-rolled metal that is primarily based on Chinese language supplies and over 200% on corrosion-resistant metal with comparable origins.
Metal has for years been a significant level of commerce friction between the U.S. and China, the world's largest producer of the metallic.
American and European steelmakers have accused China of dumping its undesirable metallic on different markets, pushing down costs, forcing rivals to shut their vegetation and killing 1000's of jobs.
Beijing has defended itself, saying overcapacity is a world downside introduced on by weaker demand.
The Chinese language and Vietnamese governments did not instantly reply to requests for remark Wednesday.
Related: U.S. trade deficit with China and Mexico is growing
Final month, a European Union company mentioned it had additionally discovered that Chinese language metal was being rerouted via Vietnam to evade tariffs, according to Reuters.
President Trump has criticized China previously over metal, accusing it of dishonest on costs. However his administration hasn't but introduced the outcomes of a separate investigation into whether or not shipments of metal from different nations pose a danger to nationwide safety.
Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross had mentioned his staff would announce its findings, which may end in huge tariffs, by the tip of June. However Trump told The Wall Street Journal in July that he wished to deal with a number of different huge targets, together with passing tax cuts, earlier than he returned to the investigation.
The U.S. Commerce Division mentioned Tuesday that it might make its closing ruling on the Vietnam metal case in February.

Maine lobster spring rolls with avocado, pineapple & vanilla coconut sauce. Perhaps, when we think of spring roll's, we think of fatty, deep fried, brown rolls that are usually dipped into an undefinable sauce. Although this calorie packed food has its place, there is, I believe, a much better and healthier alternative – the Vietnamese style spring roll! In contrast to the well known, deep fried spring roll – which is most likely made using flour, the Vietnamese roll is made with rice paper and is often eaten without cooking. This is a food you may find in a Vietnamese or Thai restaurant and is mostly served with a sweet peanut sauce.
I truly enjoy working with rice paper and in my opinion it is actually a quite perfect food. It has hardly any calories, it is made from rice, it can be eaten without cooking and you can use it in sweet or savory applications. For our wonderful dish, we decided to combine lobster and avocado, which are both delicious served slightly chilled – it is summer after all! To add some dimension to a rather simple dish, we added fresh pineapple and butter lettuce. As for the sauce, it had to be quite special and I opted for a coconut and vanilla emulsion.
I have been working with rice paper since 1997. I was first introduced to this food while working at Lespinasse in Washington, D.C. by Hong Kong Chef, one of my favorite teachers who has had a distinct and lasting influence on my career. I will be the first to admit that working with rice paper can be a bit frustrating. However, I can also say that if you understand the process, you will have better luck turning out good results. What is important to know is that whatever you would like to roll inside has to be ready, dry and layered. As for the paper itself it must be soaked in water before it becomes pliable. Rice paper often rips, cracks or becomes a ball of mush as a result of soaking the paper incorrectly. It often works best to soak the paper in ice water which leaves you a bit more time to work with this ingredient.
Here is my setup:
- I have a cutting board with a moist kitchen towel (soaked & well squeezed). the towel will help to keep the paper moist while you work with it and will prevent sticking.
- I have all my ingredients ready to go. They are seasoned, dry and ready to be layered.
- I have an ice water setup with a pinch of salt added.
Here is how I roll:
- I fully submerge a perfect round paper, without cracks or chips, in the ice water. I soak it for about a minute. It does not need to be completely playable at this stage, just soft.
- I place the paper on my moist towel, wipe off access water and flip it around. Wipe off any access water and straighten out the paper so I have no seems.
- Now, I layer all my ingredients, keeping about an inch off the edge.
- Now, fold the roll like a burrito. While I roll, I gently pull back in order to pack everything as tight as possible. You want a super tight roll.
- If not served immediately I keep them on a damp towel until they get cut. You can only keep them for about an hour once they are rolled.
Rice paper gives you an empty canvas with a plethora of options. There are no rules except to keep the dish real, healthy and fun.
A note about lobster:
It seems in North America the most lobster is supplied from Maine, which in most cases works fine, however, you should be aware that there are more options! I most certainly prefer European lobster – which are mostly supplied from the cost of Bretagne, France (Brittany) and Portugal.
The coconut sauce is actually quite simple. We begin with an organic coconut milk and season it with lime juice, sugar, salt and a pinch of cayenne pepper. To finish the sauce we cut and scrape a Madagascar vanilla bean and blend it into the coconut.
The avocado is cut into strips – to be included in the roll – as well as a puree that was added for a creamy texture. We garnished the plate with some delightful lucky sorrel and petite watercress that we obtained from The Chef's Garden here in Huron Ohio.

One of the things I love most about being a part of Midlife Road Trip is all of the great food I get to enjoy in our travels. Unfortunately six years of good eating had me weighing about 30lbs more that I did when I began this journey. If I had continued at this rate, it wouldn't be long before I would be boarding cruise ships through the cargo door.
Since writing about the food I experience in my travels is part of my job, I can't very well give up culinary indulgences – nor that I would want to. But I can make a contentious effort to eat better when I am at home. So for the last three months, I've been on a low carb diet – no specific diet, I'm just and so far I have lost 23 of the 30 lbs that I had gained!
Chicken Kebabs on Rosemary Skewers are one of my favorite low carb dishes. Not only is it delicious, fun, and easy to make, it has a certain eccentricity that makes it a hit with company. Using fresh rosemary sprigs as skewers flavors the kebabs from the inside out! Here's the recipe for making two skewers.
2 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or breast … but when it comes to chicken, I'm a thigh guy)
1 onion
1 tomato
1 bell pepper
2 sprigs of rosemary
olive oil
Sanderson Farms Chicken Fact: consumer chicken is never frozen – always farm-to-market fresh!
1. Preheat grill on high for 15 minutes
2. Cut two sturdy sprigs of rosemary, approximately 12" long
3. Cut each chicken thigh into 4-5 cubes
4. Cut tomato, onion, and bell pepper into 6 wedges
5. Carefully thread the thighs and veggies on the skewers
6. Drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
7. Cover the exposed ends of the rosemary sprigs with aluminum foil to keep them from catching fire.
8. Reduce grill to medium heat
9. Place kebabs on grill and cook on one side for 5-7 minutes
10. Flip the kebabs and grill other side for 5-7 minutes
11. Remove from grill, place on plate, remove foil, remove skewers, and ENJOY
I could honestly eat this every day. This is just my recipe and there are certainly variations you can make like adding mushrooms or pineapple depending on your mood. I hope to be sharing more of my recipes but in the mean time, Sanderson Farms provides nearly 150 recipes on their website!
What's your favorite way to cook chicken?

Letters to the Editor
Santa Anita fiasco shows the danger of rush to judgment
As a licensed owner in California, I am greatly concerned about the cancellations at Santa Anita because of the synthetic surfaces inability to drain (Santa Anita washed out again, Jan. 9).
The blame rests squarely with the California Horse Racing Board. This arrogant governmental agency forced all the states major tracks to install synthetic tracks. For starters, this ruling resulted in the imminent closure of Bay Meadows. Moreover, the ruling had no universal basis in logic, as synthetic tracks are a novelty at best.
The racing board rushed to judgment without any scientific studies showing that these tracks can hold up to the weather conditions at all California tracks. The board was concerned with the breakdown of horses on tracks in the state, and yet forced the tracks into installing artificial surfaces without any proof that these new surfaces would actually result in fewer breakdowns. How come no other state in the nation has forced all their tracks onto synthetic surfaces?
To recover liability losses from the manufacturers of these synthetic surfaces would likely be quite daunting. How come the racing board didnt require them to post bonds to cover the losses that Santa Anita or other tracks may incur?
Until there is scientific proof that these surfaces do what the states racing board anticipates, lets quit experimenting with California racetracks. Let the tracks themselves decide what their main tracks are composed of.
L. Roger Pelish - Reno, Nev.
Veterinarian applauds boards initiative
I am a large-animal veterinarian in Northern California. My practice services the livestock industry with veterinary services, pharmaceuticals, and marketing. I also operate a small Thoroughbred breeding farm and service many clients in the industry.
I am compelled to write a few comments concerning the synthetic racing surfaces that have been mandated for our states major racetracks.
First, Richard Shapiro, chairman of the states racing board, has done a good job by making the changes. He stood up and took the challenge to do something positive for the horses and owners. He has been unjustly criticized from a group that has real-estate development much higher on its priorities list than the health, well-being, and longevity of the horse.
Secondly, change is never easy. The maintenance issues we are currently dealing with will be resolved (we put a man on the moon nearly 40 years ago, for Gods sake). A racetrack that is safe benefits the horses, the owners, and the breeders, and will put more money in the state coffers.
Thirdly, look what California has to offer. Entertainment is our states No. 1 industry. Agriculture is our states No. 2 industry. Horse racing combines both agriculture and entertainment. We should have the best tracks, most profitable owners, healthiest horses, and the largest tax revenue in the world.
As an owner, breeder, and veterinarian I would strongly encourage the governor to support the current mandates. If we put the horse first, we will always be doing what is best.
William T. Gray, DVM - Cottonwood, Calif.
Fans will remember washout of early 08
Well, here we all stand on the apron at Santa Anita, next to a useless pile of rubber bits, cable, sand, and wax, while Hawthorne Park conducts racing in a snowstorm. I think its clear by now to everyone how much research the California Horse Racing Board did before it mandated this unusable Play-Doh for the states major racetracks.
The racing board can point the finger at the synthetic-surface vendors all it wants, but it was the boards bureaucratic blundering that brought horsemen to this point.
Racetracks are so fond of marketing promotions, perhaps Californias could all commemorate the racing boards chairman, Richard B. Shapiro, with an annual program cancellation day.
Tom Wafer - Rolling Hills, Calif.
Solution may be part of problem
So, what happened is that the California Horse Racing Board forced the use of synthetic tracks for the betterment of the horse with no real foundation or study to back it up, and then left the choice of synthetic surface up to each track. So we have untested surfaces being used and touted as the savior of the horses, when in reality we do not know the effect they have on the horses.
Now, instead of having ankle and knee problems, horses may come up with shoulder and hip problems. For a hundred years, trainers and vets had a working knowledge of the ailments caused by racing. Now they may not.
Think about it in a human way. Running is supposed to be good for your health. Then it was decided that pavement hurts human feet and knees, so we were pushed to rubberized tracks or treadmills, only to discover other ailments caused by those.
Not enough study was done, just the racing board shoving it down the horsemens throats, because it is an easy sell by saying it is for the betterment of horses.
Things are going to hit the fan in a big way very, very soon when big-time trainers pull their California horses and head for the dirt tracks of the United States or just simply get out of the business.
Joe Cairati - San Bruno, Calif.
Winningest trainer deserves a derby
I urge the folks at Mountaineer to change the name of the tracks signature race as a tribute to North Americas all-time leading trainer in wins.
Before his tragic death in a multi-vehicle collision in Indiana on Dec. 23, Dale Baird recorded 9,445 victories, a remarkable achievement. There is no question he left an indelible impression on racing and Mountaineer. Wouldnt it be nice to remember him each year with the Dale Baird West Virginia Derby?
Jon White - Monrovia, Calif.

Seneca's Water Treatment Plant Improvements Project Earns Envision Silver Award
Seneca's Water Treatment Plant Improvements project in South Carolina is the recent recipient of the Envision Silver award. The water treatment plant is the third infrastructure project in South Carolina to earn an Envision award from ISI, and is the first to earn a Silver award in the state.
"The project team chose to pursue Envision verification for the Seneca WTP toward the end of the project when we realized how closely the design and construction methods aligned with Envision's purpose. Sustainable construction methods not only provided the City of Seneca with an environmentally-friendly facility, but also saved time and money throughout the project. Collaborating with local stakeholders allowed aspects of the project to move forward and gave the community a finished product they are proud to live and play next to," said Bryan Royal, vice president, Harper Corporation.

Artist in Residence at the Hamburg Elbphilharmonie in 2016/2017, Mitsuko Uchida played the opening piano recital in January 2017. Last season marked the start of a three-year collaboration with the Southbank Centre in London and since 2016, Mitsuko Uchida is an Artistic Partner of the Mahler Chamber Orchestra, directing Mozart concerti from the keyboard in tours of major European venues and Japan. With a strong commitment to chamber music, Mitsuko Uchida collaborates closely with the world's finest musicians. Recently, Mitsuko Uchida partnered with Jörg Widmann for a series of concerts at the Wigmore Hall, Elbphilharmonie and Carnegie Hall and has collaborated with Dorothea Röschmann, the Ebène Quartet and Magdalena Kožená.
Mitsuko Uchida's loyal relationship with the finest orchestras and concert halls has resulted in numerous residencies. She has been Artist-in-Residence at the Cleveland Orchestra and at the Berlin Philharmonic, the Vienna Konzerthaus, Salzburg Mozartwoche and Lucerne Festival. Carnegie Hall dedicated to her a Perspectives series entitled "Mitsuko Uchida: Vienna Revisited" and the Concertgebouw a Carte Blanche series.
Mitsuko Uchida records exclusively for Decca. Her extensive discography includes the complete Mozart and Schubert piano sonatas. Since 2011 Uchida has been recording Mozart's Piano Concerti with the Cleveland Orchestra live in concert and directing from the piano. The first release won a Grammy Award in 2011. The last instalment featuring concerti KV 453 and KV 503 was released in autumn 2016. Her recording of the Schoenberg Piano Concerto with Pierre Boulez and the Cleveland Orchestra won four awards, including The GramophoneAward for Best Concerto. The Schumann and Berg album, a collaboration with Soprano Dorothea Röschmann, won a Grammy Award in 2017.
Highly committed to aiding the development of young musicians, Mitsuko Uchida is a trustee of the Borletti-Buitoni Trust and Director of the Marlboro Music Festival. In June 2009 she was made a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire. In May 2012 she was awarded the Royal Philharmonic Society's Gold Medal and in 2014 received an Honorary Degree from the University of Cambridge. A guest of honour at the Salzburg Mozartwoche in 2015, Mitsuko Uchida was awarded the Golden Mozart Medal. In October 2015, she received the Premium Imperiale Award from the Japan Arts Association.
"The Czech Philharmonic is very close to my heart artistically and personally. With the leading orchestra of our country, I have repeatedly experienced moments of beauty and deep feeling on the podium. I regard it as an honor that I may continue to be a part of the innermost musical family of the Czech Philharmonic, now alongside the new Chief Conductor, Semyon Bychkov, and together with my wonderful colleague Tomáš Netopil. I am looking forward to our joint projects, whether they will involve performing the classics from this country and around the world or excursions into the realm of lesser-known repertoire and contemporary music. It is my wish that together, our whole institution might continue successfully and harmoniously along the artistic path begun by Jiří Bělohlávek."
Jakub Hrůša made his debut with the Czech Philharmonic in 2004 when he stepped in at short notice to conduct a programme of Janáček, Martinů and Dvořák. He had just graduated from the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague where Jiří Bělohlávek was amongst his teachers. Hrůša has subsequently conducted the Orchestra in forty concerts at home and on tour and, at the start of the 2015/16 season was appointed Permanent Guest Conductor. This season he conducts the opening concerts of the Czech Philharmonic season and has been named Principal Guest Conductor with effect from the 2018/19 season.
A regular guest with leading orchestras in both Europe and the USA, Jakub Hrůša is also Chief Conductor of Bamberg Symphony, Principal Guest Conductor of Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra (TMSO), and Principal Guest Conductor of the Philharmonia Orchestra. He served as Music Director and Chief Conductor of PKF – Prague Philharmonia from 2009 to 2015. Recent orchestral highlights include debuts with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Orchestra dell'Accademia Nazionale dei Santa Cecilia, Mahler Chamber Orchestra, New York Philharmonic, Boston Symphony and Chicago Symphony Orchestras, as well as return engagements with the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, the Cleveland Orchestra and Los Angeles Philharmonic. This season he will make his debuts with the San Francisco Symphony and Munich Philharmonic Orchestras.
Equally at home in operatic repertoire, Hrůša is a regular guest of the National Theatre in Prague and Glyndebourne Festival Opera, and between 2010 and 2012 he was Music Director of Glyndebourne on Tour. For Glyndebourne Festival, he has conducted Janáček's The Cunning Little Vixen, Britten's A Midsummer Night's Dream and The Turn of the Screw, Bizet's Carmen, Mozart's Don Giovanni and Puccini's La bohème. Elsewhere he has conducted Janáček's The Makropulos Affair (Wiener Staatsoper), Jenůfa (Finnish National Opera), and Dvořák's Rusalka (Opéra national de Paris), alongside works by Puccini (Il trittico for Oper Frankfurt) and Mussorgsky (Boris Godunov for Royal Danish Opera). During the 2017/18 season, he returns to Opéra national de Paris for Lehár's The Merry Widow, makes his debut at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden with Bizet's Carmen, and conducts a new production of Samuel Barber's Vanessa for Glyndebourne Festival.
In the studio, Jakub Hrůša has recorded the Tchaikovsky and Bruch Violin Concertos with the Czech Philharmonic and Nicola Benedetti for Universal; live recordings for Octavia Records of works by Berlioz, Strauss and Suk with the Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra; three discs for Pentatone with PKF-Prague Philharmonia; and six discs of Czech music for Supraphon. Marking the start of his tenure as Chief Conductor of the Bamberg Symphony, Hrůša and the Orchestra recorded Smetana's Má vlast, the first disc in a new partnership with Tudor.
In recognition of his championing of Janáček's music abroad, Jakub Hrůša was awarded the inaugural Sir Charles Mackerras Prize. He is also President of the International Martinů Circle.
The inception of Arnold Schoenberg's Piano Concerto, Op. 42 almost coincided with that of Bohuslav Martinů's Third Symphony, and it was also written in the United States. Although these are different musical worlds, the personal styles of both composers are the result of their autonomous search for a modern musical language, while coming to terms with the legacy of music history. The originally intended simple structure of this concerto eventually developed into a work incorporating the fate of those persecuted by Nazism. It differs from Schoenberg's other American compositions, in which he ceased to strictly apply the principles of dodecaphony, yet there are also tonal sections, references to folk rhythms and so on. By its structure it has returned to historical forms; although the concerto is conceived as a single-movement form, it is divided into four parts.
The influence of Johannes Brahms, whom Schoenberg always admired, is reflected in the relationship between the solo instrument and the orchestra as well as the treatment of the piano part. Schoenberg marked each section of this autobiographical composition as follows: "Life was so easy", "Suddenly hatred broke out", "A grave situation was created", and "But life goes on". All this is interconnected by a basic twelve-tone row; the stylized rhythm of the ländler or waltz represents Schoenberg's reminiscence of his native city of Vienna. The concerto was performed in the world premiere on 6 February 1944 in New York at the Radio City Music Hall by the NBC Symphony under Leopold Stokowsky with Eduard Steuermann as the soloist.
Bohuslav Martinů's Sixth Symphony was originally entitled "Nouvelle Symphonie fantastique" as a reference to Berlioz's Fantastic Symphony, but the composer changed its name to Fantaisies Symphoniques. Martinů personally wished to create a work for the conductor Charles Munch, and he dedicated the symphony to him as well. Its composition took almost two years, during which its concept changed dramatically. The symphony was completed in May 1953 and was premiered by the Boston Symphony Orchestra conducted by Munch on 7 January 1955.
Martinů's decision to write it as a free fantasy enabled the complete freedom of the art of variations, in which the whole construction is being built up from a simple idea. Like the Third Symphony, the Sixth Symphony is in three movements, and there are other similarities between these two compositions. The four-tone first theme of the first movement, which is played by solo cello, has been taken from Dvořák's Requiem – it is the same theme that had already appeared in the Third Symphony. A quotation or reference is also to be found in the second movement; this time it is the harmonious link used by Leoš Janáček in his symphonic poem Taras Bulba. The Music Critics Circle of New York City honored the Fantasies Symphoniques as the best orchestral work performed for the first time in New York in 1955.
Bohuslav Martinů's Third Symphony came into being during his summer retreat in Connecticut in 1944. He composed it spontaneously, without a commission, but at first the creative process was not successful. His concentration was disturbed by news from the war and homesickness. However, the Allied invasion of Normandy on 6 June 1944 brought about a turning point in the war and the hopelessness turned into hope. Perhaps that is why the symphony was particularly dear to Martinů's heart and he was very proud of it. Its premiere took place in a more joyful period, on 12 October 1945 in Boston. Third Symphony is in three movements; its center of gravity is the final movement. The first movement is based on a three-tone theme which slowly turns into a motif from Dvořák's Requiem, also used in the symphonic poem Asrael by Josef Suk. The composition ends in conciliatory tones, deep in thought.

This semester I'm doing a formalization project with Jeremy Avigad, based on work that I did mostly with Bas Spitters, back when I was a research assistant in Nijmegen. The goal of my project is to formalize several aspects of the graph model of type theory, using the Lean proof assistant. In this series of blog posts, I will try to explain what the graph model is, and how I will go about my formalization. The project itself may be found in the GraphModel github repository.
The graph model, and all its variations, is a model of type theory which one may use to study a theory of non-recursive higher inductive types. These include first of all homotopy coequalizers. Combining them with Σ-types one may use them to describe homotopy pushouts, and combining them with the natural numbers object one may use them to describe colimits of type sequences indexed by the natural numbers. Higher inductive types that can be constructed using the graph model include the spheres, CW-complexes such as the real and complex projective spaces, and with a bit more effort one can construct in a univalent universe which is closed under pushouts the image of a function from a small type into a locally small type . This fact can then be used to take -quotients. For the rest of this post, we suppose a univalent universe .
A graph in consists of a type of vertices, and a binary, type-valued relation . Now we may take advantage of the notion of type dependency which is already present in our setting to describe what it means to be a dependent graph over a given graph . A dependent graph over consists of a type family and a fiberwise binary relation . Thus, we have formalized what we mean by a judgment of the form in the graph model. We should also formalize what we mean by a judgment of the form in the graph model. A term of a dependent graph over consists of a term , and a term . This formalizes the absolute basics of type dependency: contexts, dependent types, and terms.
Of course, the graph model has a notion of context extension, which is modeled using Σ-types. Given a dependent graph over , we can form a new graph, which we denote by . The type of vertices of is defined to be the type . Then, for two vertices and of , the type of edges of is defined to be the type . We don't yet need any axioms about context extension. Instead, let us haste to define dependent function graphs!
The formation rule for dependent function types says that for any type family we get a type family . Moreover, the introduction and elimination rules say that we can freely translate back and forth between terms of in context , and terms of in context . Thus, we have to formalize in the graph model the operation in accordance with the formation rule, such that we get an equivalence between the type type of terms of in context , and the type of terms of in context .
Let be a graph family over the graph . Then we define the type of vertices of the dependent function graph at to be . Now let be an edge from to in the graph , and let and . Then we define the type of edges from to over to be the type
Now it is an easy exercise to show that the type of terms of is equivalent to the type of terms of in a canonical way.
To model type constructors like , or identity types, we need a bit more of the structure of type dependency. In particular, we need weakening and substitution. The weakening operation (more precisely, weakening by a type in context ) allows us to obtain a dependent type from a dependent type . The substitution operation (by a term in context ), allows us to obtain a type from a dependent type . Both of these are pretty straightforward to model in the graph model, and both can be given an action on `further' dependent types and their terms.
Back to the type constructors. The formation rule for dependent pair types tells us that for any dependent type , we get a dependent type . The introduction rule then tells us that there is a term
The induction principle then says that for any dependent type , from a term , one gets a term , so that
The above rule may look a bit intimidating, but it is just the computation rule, saying that if you compute the inductively defined term at the canonical values of , then you get back the original term. It will of course be no surprise that in the graph model, we use Σ-types to define the graph , and that this induction principle then holds.
It is now a good moment to remark on how we will treat judgmental equalities in internal models. All equalities will be modeled by typal equality, using the identity types. Eventually, it will be our aim to formulate a notion of `Rezk completeness' for internal models, blurring the distinction between the interpretation of the judgmental equality of the theory, and the equality in the types of contexts, families and terms in such a way that internally (in the model) equivalent types become externally (from the point of view of the model) equal types. This is something to worry about later, but not at this stage.
The next post about the formalization of the graph model:

Hollywood has the "Oscars." Now Washington has the "Honors." Sponsored by the American Veterans Center and Northrop Grumman Corporation, hundreds of millions will have the opportunity to be enriched by our military heroes' "full measure of devotion" when "The Honors" airs this weekend on DODNews http://dodnews.defense.gov/, broadcasting on military bases around the world and in millions of American homes.
It will also air Saturday, November 15 at 5 p.m. (EST) on the Reelz network http://www.reelz.com/specials/ which reaches 66 million homes around the country.
The culmination of the three-day AVC Veterans Conference held at the Naval Heritage Center, "The Honors" recognized American military heroes who have shown courage under fire in conflicts ranging from World War II to Afghanistan. (See full list below and at: http://www.americanveteranscenter.org/events/avchonors/)
One of the most poignant moments was when Lt. Col. James Megellas ("Maggie"), 97, was bequeathed the Audie Murphy Award–WWII. Megellas, who served with Murphy on Anzio Beach on January 20, 1944, said, he "was great not just for his accomplishments but for his leadership."
In taking the podium to accept his award, after a film compellingly recounting Maggie's story, this dynamic veteran with his mane of silver hair recalled the most gripping experience "in the waning days of the war," as they were "moving rapidly through Germany."
After being summoned to "an encampment of barbed wire," where "inside (were) a bunch of skinny looking men," he made tracks. Arriving, he said, "we shot the lock off the gate and, as we did, the SS troopers went out the other gate." So he set up a unit there, ready to stop them should they return.
"We went inside," he said, "and saw it as it existed every day of operation, if I may use that term. It was an 'every day operation.' Bodies were lying everywhere, there were ditches dug, they were going to throw a lot of them in there. I went through what they call the barracks, and they were nothing but tarpaper shacks, and I talked with several people that I could communicate with." Not one survivor weighed over 65 pounds, he said.
This reality of "man's capacity for inhumanity to man" had all unfolded before their eyes as they fought for two years, he said. But, "It was there that we fully realized what we'd been fighting for. Soldiers enter the service for a cause. They believe in something. They believe in this great country of ours and the freedoms we enjoy… but here for the first time it hit me… the cause greater than ourselves was… to destroy the monstrosity that the Nazis had created, or it certainly would have engulfed freedom-loving people everywhere."
After asking him about how his experience informs present-day atrocities also unfolding before our eyes, he told me during the earlier "Legends of World War II" panel, "We tend to dismiss it here. But we can't. And, I think if the Holocaust taught us anything, it is that we cannot be indifferent to these things, wherever they might happen, because that's not the kind of people we are as Americans." (The panel also featured Lt. Col. Richard Cole, Jimmy Doolittle's co-pilot, and Lt. Col. Edward Saylor, an engineer during the epic Doolittle Raid on April 18, 1942 that bombed Japan in retaliation for Pearl Harbor.)
Stories of heroism down through the decades, during World War II (1.2 million vets left, dying at 700 a day), Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan, in space, and on the assembly line were also featured, with films narrated by Gary Sinise, Joe Mantegna, and other celebrities.
Fighting for values Americans hold dear, of course, comes at a steep price.
The Wounded Warrior Experience, co-sponsored by The Military Order of the Purple Heart Foundation, and hosted by Jennifer Griffin, is airing on DODNews this weekend. (November 15: 4 a.m., 3 p.m.; November 16: 11 a.m., 6 p.m. — all times EST) http://dodnews.defense.gov/, highlighted this price. It featured veterans of Operations Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan) and Iraqi Freedom, showing remarkable spirit and courage as, now, they wage the ongoing battle to cope with the wounds of war, visible and hidden. This is where Americans get to give back in exchange for their awesome service. Tune in and learn how!
Mary Claire Kendall is a Washington-based writer. Her book, Oasis: Conversion Stories of Hollywood Legends, is being published next spring.
