Support for Pelvic Pain in Unexpected Places/
When you are experiencing pelvic pain, or pain of any kind, you may go through a range of emotions and more than likely will have a lot of questions ranging from "Why am I in pain?" to "Is this going to get better on its own?". These are not easy questions to answer, and finding support and the right person to ask them to can be very difficult. The following are great resources that you can use in a variety of ways. You can use them to vent about issues, get advice on a range of topics, or offer your support to others dealing with pelvic pain. Just remember that these websites are not run by health care providers so be sure to consult with a medical professional before beginning any sort of treatment recommended.
Pelvic Floor Dysfunction Subreddit
Reddit calls itself "The front page of the internet" and is described as a "social, news, entertainment network". If you just browse the site casually you may not think it is the best place to share your experiences with pelvic pain. However, if you dig a little deeper you can find communities like "Chronic Pain" or "Pelvic Floor" full of supportive people who are happy to share advice on things such as tips for staying warm in cold weather to advice on post surgery recovery.
American Chronic Pain Association
You most likely have a Facebook page, and while it is great for staying up to date with friends and family it can also be a great way to connect with others living with pelvic pain. Like Reddit, there are many groups whose, members offer support and advice on pelvic pain related topics. Groups may even have meet-up events so you can connect face to face with others with pelvic pain.
Twitter is another social network that allows you to connect with others in similar situations. Using hashtags (the # symbol) you can see who is tweeting about things relating to your pelvic pain. Popular hashtags for those who have pelvic pain include #pelvicpain, #pelvichealth, #pain, and many others. You can reply to people who use these hashtags with advice, questions, or just to offer your support. Just make sure to keep it brief as 140 characters goes quick! Make sure to follow @SandyHiltonPT, @SarahHaagPT, and @EntropyPhysio once you get set-up.
The internet is a great place to find support, if you find the right communities. The communities mentioned here is not an exhaustive list, but it does include places whose members are active and helpful. Make sure to contact Sandy or Sarah at Entropy Physiotherapy so they can answer any questions you may have and help you resolve your pelvic pain.

Moonset Acustico is a cover band of English and Spanish songs, whose genres span r&b, soul, reggae, pop and Latin rhythms. The band was created in September of 2017 in Hermosillo, Sonora and is formed by Ambar Carvajal and Francisco Trujillo.
Ambar, the singer, has been developing her singing ability since she was five years old in the choir of the church. Over the years she continued to perform in several choirs as a soprano vocalist. It was not until a year ago that she began to dedicate herself to music as a profession. Recently Ambar came to San Pancho to work as a musician, thanks to the invitation of her friend Francisco Trujillo, known by all as Panchito.
As the guitarist and singer of the band, Francisco has been living in San Pancho for 3 years. He began playing guitar as a teenager, and over the years Francisco has played and mastered the bass in different rock and reggae bands in a variety of cities. He has always had the interest in being a singer, but it was not until 2016 that Francisco began to sing during his performances.
We welcome Moonset in their debut performance at this year's 18th Music Festival!

When I first heard about an allergen detection dog, I almost fell off my stool. Only a parent of a child with life-threatening food allergies could understand the fear…the feeling that your child's entire life will be a mine-field…that even with every precaution, you could miss something…that missing something could cost your child her life…that you would do ANYTHING to keep your child safe.
And if that 'something' was a cute, lovable dog? Sign me up! Well, not so fast. I have a penchant for research and the potential $15k price tag slowed me down a bit.
There are two, related, reasons why we aren't ready to start our fundraising for a dog just yet. Bubba has not demonstrated that she has severe contact allergies. She gets contact hives from egg and milk, but they (thus far) have resolved quickly by simply washing her off with soap and water. As a result, we feel fairly comfortable letting her play at playgrounds, at friends' houses (with me present), go to church, etc. Also, I have concerns about the attention that a service dog brings to a child. Looking at the cost/benefit picture, for our family, makes me not ready to take this plunge just yet. But I will continue to update this post with information that I find in my research. Our situation may change someday such that I would want to pursue this option. I think this 'field' shows a lot of potential, and also a lot of risk. This is a largely unregulated industry and in the years ahead I'm sure we will see many folks seeking to take advantage of our fear. That said, there are companies out there with an identifiable track record who are helping kids.
Among the companies I found who could/would scent train a dog for allergen detection, I am self-characterizing them into three groups:
First, traditional service-dog training organizations that have trained dogs to be aides for kids with autism, epilepsy, those who are wheel-chair mobile, etc. For these companies, I want to know more about their background in scent detection, but would feel more confident about their ability to select and provide a service-quality dog capable of working with young children in a school environment.
Paws 4 Ability – I am impressed with the company and their track record. For now, it's a dead end. They are not taking applications for allergen dogs because their waiting list is already too long. That should tell you something though I suppose.
I would like to look into Assistance Dogs International more.
Second, organizations dedicated to providing allergen-detection dogs. For these organizations I am most interested in their qualifications and track record. I feel more confident that these folks might understand allergens and how specifically they pose dangers for our kids.
Allergen Detection Service Dogs – I spoke with their founder Ciara Gavin. She has a background in scent training dogs for the military – doing bomb and narcotics work. This company boasts that they have trained almost half of the working allergen detection dogs in the country (17 of 50). The cost is about $15k for the trained dog and the training session you do with the dog (offered at their facility or they will come to you). If you opt to go to them, additional perks include workshops on deducting the cost of the dog from your taxes, etc. The waiting period is about six months. I have not yet spoken to someone with personal experience with them. An interview with Ciara can be found on this blog. The company's website answers a lot of FAQ and also discusses the issue of "allergy-friendly" breeds. I also came across this Facebook discussion from a couple years ago about the benefits of an allergy service dogs and video demonstrations of their skills. In addition to her prior military canine work, she previously worked for Angel Service Dogs.
Angel Service Dogs – Many of us have seen of videos of Sherry Mers or the families doing fundraising to get an ASDI dog. As of January 2014, the organization has placed over 60 dogs, per this article. Their current plans are to train 20-30 dogs/year and wait times for a dog are around 6 months. This somewhat dated article provides a little information on how the organization was started, its trainers, and preferred dog breeds. An example of one of their success stories can be found here.
I am a part of several allergy support groups on Facebook and read a discussion about ASDI (you need to join the group to read the thread). It includes families who love their dogs and families who feel betrayed by the organization and don't feel they got what they were promised. I took the time to reach out to these families and several were kind enough to share their stories with me.
Those with good experiences shared that ASDI has been 'like a family', very supportive through the whole process, and that the dog has helped them to feel safer and to help them locate allergens they could not see. These families report they are going more places, with fewer reactions.
Those with negative experiences complain of issues with behavior and temperament. One family shared that their dog can no longer work as a service dog due to an aggressive incident at school. These families put a lot of money and emotional investment in their dogs, when it doesn't work out it is heart-breaking. Google searches of this organization turn up accusations regarding professionalism and a dated discussion of various 'issues', but there are no Better Business Bureau complaints within the last year. The organization has an "A" rating.
I spoke with Sherry about dog selection and training. I was impressed with the socialization process, which sounds similar to how other service dogs are raised – in the homes of volunteers where they can be socialized to families and the community (the puppies go out wearing vests). As the dogs get older they work with ASDI trainers (all certified) for their advanced obedience and specialized training. This includes for the desired allergens as well as things like tracking (for an autistic child), electric fence work (for families like ours who don't have a fenced yard), etc. They have trained dogs on up to 15 allergens, including dairy. All of the 'standards' the dog is required to meet are spelled out explicitly in a contract with ASDI. The dogs are evaluated by a third party before they are placed.
Placement/training sessions with the families are held in Colorado. The training includes lots of additional workshops to help families coping with allergies – risk assessment, the psychology of personality (so you know how to best advocate for your child), canine and human first aid/CPR courses (including how to use a defibrillator), allergy education, etc. Families are required to sign-off on witnessing all of the behaviors the dogs are expected to exhibit. If there is an issue with any of the dogs, or a mis-match so to speak, there are a few 'extra' trained dogs (referred to as "dogs on deck") who could be placed with the family instead.
Getting an allergy service dog is a commitment to ongoing training to keep the scent detection fresh and obedience on track. Part of the contract spells out that families need to send in weekly training logs. Trainers are available for Skype sessions. If there is a serious problem that cannot be worked out remotely, Sherry told me the dog would be sent to ASDI (owner's expense) and that her trainers would try to resolve it (ASDI's expense). Worst case scenario, if the dog could no longer work as a service animal, it would be returned to ASDI and a new trained dog would be provided after ASDA raised the necessary funds.
UPDATE: CBS Denver posted an article about Angel Service Dogs, "Service Dog Organization Accused of Selling Untrained Dogs". A separate news article mentions an additional family who does not feel their detection dog works.
Noelle's Dogs Four Hope – I actually came across this organization because the owner, Tina Rivero's name came up unfavorably in a discussion about Angel Service Dogs. Another blogger appears to try to have looked into her. Tina is the mother of a daughter with epilepsy and got her start by training a dog for her. I have not done any additional research.
Third, organizations with a track record of dog training (related or otherwise). There are a lot of questions here.
Southern Star Ranch – I know very little about this organization outside of their website. They scent train dogs for police units, pest detection, and a number of other purposes. They also train people who train dogs, which gives me confidence in their skill and reputation. I found a story about one of their dogs here. I have been played phone tag with Sharon Perry, the head detection trainer. I will update this post if I speak with her. My questions center around their experience with allergies and how to get a scent dog service qualified. Do they know what to look for in the temperament? Do they know what types of environments the dog needs to be comfortable in? How do they train dogs to work with/for young kids?
Tarheel Canine – I spoke with one of their employees as well as Jerry Bradshaw, the head trainer. He has an international reputation for training professional dogs (narcotics, police, etc.). He founded Tarheel in 1994. Tarheel turns out close to a dozen police dogs a month and they have trained allergen detection dogs, but I'm not sure how many (it may be only one). Tarheel has less experience training dogs designed to work primarily with children (versus say Guide Dogs for the Blind), but Jerry discussed with me how most of their protection dogs are trained for families, so they are used to having children in mind. Similarly, many of their police dogs need to be trained and comfortable in a variety of 'service' settings, e.g. public transportation, schools, etc.
Jerry initially trained an allergy detection dog in order to help out a family who was having trouble raising the funds for "one of those $20k dogs". Jerry believes the fees charged by organizations devoted to allergy dogs are out of line with what the costs to train a dog are. I believe that he has a lot of skill and experience as a dog trainer. My only concern would be the tendency to want an excitable, higher energy dog that might do great in a police setting, but struggle to be the mellow, petable dog required for a young child. Additionally, an organization like this is normally handing a dog over to an adult whose job it will be to handle them rather than a family (and child) with little-to-no dog training experience. There may be great differences in how 'finished' a dog is according to Ciara Gavin. I asked Jerry at what age did he think a child could be the primary handler for a dog like this and he said (depending on maturity) probably in the early teens.
*There are also private trainers who can do scent detection training with a dog. I am not comfortable with this route personally. I have heard both positive and negative stories on Facebook from people who worked with someone privately.
Issues to Consider
- Might the dog increase your/your child's anxiety about allergies rather than decrease it?
- Will the dog draw attention to a child who might otherwise be able to blend in? Are you, your family, and your child ready to be an allergy ambassador everywhere you go with the dog?
- What will happen if the dog can't work as a service dog? Do you have a recourse with the trainer? How will your child handle it?
- Is your child or someone else in your home dog-allergic?
- What if your child's school is unsupportive? Is that another battle you want to have?
- How many allergies does your child have? Can the dog be trained on all of them? What if your child's allergies change over time?
- Detection dogs don't typically work well in the home. It's their down time and also too 'comfortable' for them. Some families use strategies to have their dog work at home, e.g. have the dog sniff groceries in the garage before they enter the house or sniff guests shoes when the enter the front door.
- The dog will not alert for an allergen unless you ask it to find one. The dog won't be looking all the time.
- Most pet dogs can not be service dogs. It takes a rare dog to have the personality for it. There are exceptions of course.

Century plant blooms in Pascagoula
A morning drive around Pascagoula led me to a century plant in bloom.
Actually, I was sent there by Susan Kendrick at Crazy B's Coffee and Confections on Market Street when I stopped in for an iced mocha and cream cheese croissant.
She told me she'd been watching a century plant bloom in a vacant lot at the corner of King Avenue and Belair Street. So I went to check it out. The plant was blooming, and a little research told me they bloom after about 10 to 15 years. The stalk of a century plant, also known as Agave Americana, can grow up to 20 feet tall.

I posted in previous blogs like the one about Tryvon Martins not guilty verdict not being shocking or surprising to me. I didn't understand what all the protesting and marching was about because incidents similar to Tryvon Martin case has been happening for centuries so to me their was no need to go about the jury's decision in demonstrating our feelings by doing what we always do march and protest. This is nothing new where stores racially profile but at the same time Barney's want to use a person of black skin color to promote their products.
If you ask me what I think about it? I would say it is a ass backwards marketing campaign. So what should Jay-z do? Well I think Jay-z is in a difficult dilemma because he's trying to further his brand and money by collaborating with Barneys New York. Barneys is expected to start selling items next month by top designers, inspired by Jay-Z, with some of the proceeds going to his charity. Jay-Z is also working with the store to create its artistic holiday window display. He has to find out is it the company that is racially profiling or just ignorant employees? If it is the company's fault Jay-z has a a moral obligation to drop his dealings with a company that racially profiles people of his color which could be his fans, supports, and future customers. Because it is not the first time that Barney's racially profiled, In letters to Barneys' Lee and Macy's Chief Stores Officer Peter Sachse, released earlier on Tuesday, Schneiderman's office said it is investigating a total of four complaints from black shoppers who said last week that in the last eight months they were stopped by police after shopping at one of the two stores.

The Food Information Regulations EU1169/2011 are intended to simplify food labelling regulations, improve consistency and make them easier to understand, in order to protect consumer health and guarantee the consumer's right to information that allows him to make informed decisions.
Mandatory requirements include an emphasis on allergen information, so allergens can be easily identified in the list of ingredients, with a focus on 14 key allergens, ranging from gluten and eggs to peanuts and celery.
The deadline for compliance with the regulations is 13th December, 2014, after which wholesalers, as Food Business Operators (FBO's) and part of the food supply chain, will have a legal responsibility to supply only goods which are compliant and to have mandatory particulars available for customers. For C&C operators this is easy as a customer can examine product labels in depot, but for Delivered sales requirements could be more complex.
Accord users can be confident of compliance as comprehensive functionality allows this information to be logged, easily tracked and readily available to telesales operators and web and mobile customers. Import of mandatory information from the source of your choice is quick and easy, so you can be certain your information is always accurate and up to date.

Small Apartment in Sydney Revealing a Good Space Distribution
When it comes to small apartments, functionality and comfort are the two main "issues" that need to be taken into account. The greatest challenge as a designer is to create (or at least give the feeling that there is) more space then it actually…is. The Australian Minosa Design Studio designed this small apartment of a family of five in Bondi Beach, Sydney, trying to solve the problem of space. The studio is specialized in stand-alone design concepts for contemporary bathrooms and kitchens, so the client's request to adjust the small space and create a larger one, by adding an extra floor and creating a fun, functional and "stiffed" with appliances kitchen was pretty interesting and challenging.
The heart of the kitchen consists of a ten-seater table, luscious (and with an expendable part). It incorporated plenty of shelves that can be easily hidden. This was a very interesting approach towards the designers' solution. They chose to simply "hide" parts of the kitchen, under white and luscious sliding doors, in order to create more space. The apartment is all painted in white, so the idea of massive sliding walls embracing the kitchen area was a bright one (basically, this creates a seamless transition between environments). The result: a chic, smart and charming small apartment.

Earth-808 would diverge from Earth-616 during the years that Victor von Doom attended State College. In this reality, when his classmate Reed Richards would find incorrect calculations with Doom's device to contact he afterlife, Doom would react to the news differently. Unlike on Earth-616, Doom would listen to Richard's warnings and the two would work together to make the necessary corrections. With the device working properly, Doom would access the neither world and learn that his mother was suffering in the afterlife.
With a new devotion in life, Doom would thank his friend Reed Richards and quit college to focus his time on learn the occult arts in the hopes of freeing his mothers soul. Seeing tutelage by a remote sect of Tibetan monks, they would teach them all they knew and would construct for him a golden suit of armor. Then one night, Doom would succeed in casting a spell that would free his mothers soul from the neitherworld. This however, would not go unnoticed as his mothers soul was owned by the demon lord Mephisto who would seek to get revenge against Doom for stealing one of his slaves.
Doom meanwhile would travel to his native Latveria and use his armor to attempt to oust tyrannical ruler Rudolfo from the Latverian throne. In the battle, a bullet fired from Rudolfo would bounce off Doom's armor and mortally would the ruler. Following Rudolfo's death, Victor would take over rule of Latveria, freeing those enslaved during Rudolfo's rule, including his childhood love Valeria. The two would soon be wed, however their marital bliss would be short lived.
After their wedding they would drive through Latveria to the cheers of it's people, only for their trip to be halted when Mephisto would step in. Plucked to Mephisto's realm, Doom would learn that in punishment for freeing his mothers soul, Mephisto has taken all of Latveria. Doom would attempt to fight the hell-lord to win his people and his land back but would fail. Mephisto would tell Doom that he could have his land back if he replaces the soul that he had liberated and offers him a choice: The soul of Doom or that of his newly wed wife Valeria. Doom, his pride to strong and still having a great vision for his people and the world would be unable to sacrifice himself and offer up the soul of his true love in exchange for the freedom of his people. Accepting the deal, Doom would be returned to the very moment he was taken away and find that Valeria is now gone.
With the people of Latveria wondering what happened to their new queen, Doom would rush off to his castle. There he would be sequestered for the one moment each year where he would have the opportunity to cast a spell where he would challenge Mephisto in order to save the soul of Valeria.

Gallup's Standard of Living Index is at the low for this year.
Last time we recorded this data was when we were being frightened by the spin using the "fiscal cliff" terminology — as if we weren't spending BILLIONS blowing people off the face of the earth and ignoring our problems here.
Gallup's Standard of Living Index now matches the low for this year, last recorded in early January, shortly after the Congress passed an 11th-hour budget agreement that avoided sending the federal government over a so-called "fiscal cliff."
Or as if we didn't know that there are kings and queens sitting pretty …
… drenched in wealth …
… at the very top making up less than 1% of our population while
the "other 99%" struggle
at various levels of comfort (and discomfort)
straight down
[gay-ly down]

But Wait!
That's not all!!!
Not only is the U.S. standard of living low, it's expected to go down.
That kind of drama has been replayed in the past month with similar effects on Americans' confidence in the economy and their standard of living[,]
continues Gallup,
The good news is that, while the current Standard of Living Index — at 31 — is down from the heights it reached earlier this year, it remains higher than the lowest readings in each of the previous five years. This indicates that, while the bottom has not yet fallen out of Americans' satisfaction with their standard of living, there is the capacity for it to fall even further.
And what we foresee … ,
what we envision … ,

it tends to happen [period]
Confident in getting that job? You might just get it! Think you nailed that test? You probably did. I truly believe that we make our futures.
Done fighting your terminal illness? Too bad. You'll likely die earlier. [FIGHT!]
"Hooray." Come on, y'all. Buck up, folks.
Stop being your own block to success!
And if, as I say, you are a "grown ass" man or woman – then act like one. Get to work and make it happen. Seriously.
Look how it's all related. It's all related!

Put 'Em Up! Preserving Answer Book
Posted by Victoria at 8:00 AM
Last year, I had the pleasure of reviewing Sherri Brooks Vinton's Put 'Em Up! Fruit. After a day of blueberry picking with my nephews, I also whipped together the most perfect blueberry jam from that same cookbook. I'm sold on Vinton's talents when it comes to preserving and canning and was pleased to find a copy of her newest book Put 'Em Up! Preserving Answer Book in the mail recently for me to review.
The book isn't exactly a cookbook (it only includes 17 recipes), but what it lacks in recipes it makes up for with useful tips for all manners of food preservation, from freezing to canning to drying and more. The book is very useful for any novice in the field, because it really does address all concerns when it comes to food preservation. Would it be as useful to an advanced canner? I'm not sure since I myself am not advanced in this department.
I like knowing that I can reference this book as needed the next time I have questions. The book even includes a handy chart on page 147 for various ingredients and how long they can be safely frozen. I'm shocked to learn that I can freeze certain items longer than I expected.
As someone who has intentions to learn more about canning, experimenting with more recipes throughout the year, especially when I'm faced with a surplus of fresh ingredients, I think this is a great guide to add to my bookshelf. I won't be turning to it nearly as much as some of my other cooking references, but it won't stray very far, especially in the summer when fresh fruits are abundant!
Today I will be sharing a couple excerpts from the book addressing some common concerns. The first is regarding replacement sweeteners. I actually had someone recently leave a comment on one of my fruit preserve recipes asking about substituting honey. I know cutting back on sugar is often a concern, so I definitely wanted to include this particular question from the book.
The second excerpt I've included is regarding a problem I've personally had in the past, where my fruit essentially floated to the top of the jar and wasn't evenly distributed once I processed the jars. There are TONS of great tips throughout the book for anyone interested in preserving foods and it's definitely worth checking out if you plan on canning, freezing, drying, fermenting, making infusions, and more.
Q: Can I use other sweeteners besides white sugar?
A: Yes and no. Some home preservation processes, such as making classic jams and jellies, require sugar to get a good set. Without sugar, you won't get the proper jelled consistency.
Sugar also acts to preserve texture and color, so canned items made without it or with reduced amounts may dull in color or become too soft to be considered successful. This applies to sweet spreads and pickles as well.
That being said, eaters who prefer to limit their sugar intake often find the trade-off worthwhile and are willing to step away from what many would consider "perfect jam" if it means they can enjoy more of it. For such eaters, quick jams that use commercial pectin are the answer. Low-methoxyl (LM) pectin, which relies on calcium to gel rather than sugar, can be used in low-or even no-sugar spreads. You can also use alternative sweeteners such as stevia, agave syrup, and honey with this kind of pectin.
Artificial sweetneners, such as aspartame and sucralose, often take on a bitter flavor when cooked and are not recommended.
Q: How can I keep my jam from separating into fruit on the top and clear jelly on the bottom?
A: You are experiencing the dreaded "fruit float." It occurs when the air present in the cell walls of the produce hasn't cooked out because the food has been lightly cooked or not cooked at all. This trapped air causes the fruit to bob to the top of the canning jars during processing. Fruit float often settles over time in whole fruits but is very noticeable in jams, where the gelled texture prevents the fruit from redistributing over time. Here are a few ways to avoid it in your spreads:
- Cutting or mashing fruit or cooking it for an extended period of time is a good way to minimize fruit float. The mechanical process physically breaks the cell walls of the fruit, releasing the air that is trapped in them.
- Avoid overripe fruit, which tends to float more than just-right fruit.
- It is also most beneficial to cool your jam, just slightly, before ladling it into your jars; this gives the jam a chance to thicken to a point that will better suspend the fruit. Giving your jam a good stir for 5 minutes after you take it off the heat ought to do it.
- If you still have fruit float, you can flip your jars temporarily to give the fruit a chance to redistribute before the preserves set into their gelled texture. Wait until the seals have begun to form but the jam is still warm in the jars--1 1/2 to 2 hours after you remove them from the boiling water--and then invert them until cooled. Return the jars to their upright position for long term storage.
*Disclaimer* I received no compensation to write this review other than a free copy of the book. My opinions are always my own.

Of the dozen or so trade events I managed to attend during the heart of the fall portfolio tasting season in New York, and of the scores of excellent wines I tasted (and the hundreds of not-so-excellent ones), there was one producer whose lineup truly stood out for me, precise and delicious from end to end. That producer is the Champagne house of Laherte Frères, whose wines were featured at the Selection Pas Mal portfolio tasting back in September.
From Laherte's Brut "Tradition," which showed broad, creamy texture and some sponti aromatic characteristics, to their Brut Rosé, a true rosé de répas made from a blend of 60% Pinot Meunier and 30% Pinot Noir with the 10% addition of red wine made from Meunier, and on to the Brut Blanc de Blancs, which displayed serious acidity and structure allied with a deep sense of aromatic grace and elegance, the wines were truly lovely. There were two other wines shown that day that also stood out. As luck would have it, I happened to have a bottle of each at home. And when the occasion called for it earlier this week, I decided it was time for a revisit.
Champagne Extra-Brut "Les Vignes d'Autrefois" (Pinot Meunier), Laherte Frères 2005
$50. 12% alcohol. DIAM. Importer: Triage Wines, Seattle, WA.
The Pas Mal crew poured both the 2004 — the first vintage ever for this wine — and the 2005 at their tasting and my notes remind me that I preferred the '04 on that day. Under more favorable circumstances, though, meaning at the table, with food, with friends, and in a relaxed setting, the 2005 was a thing of beauty. Lush, deep, vibrating with energy and purity of fruit, the wine paired fantastically with our first couple of courses, leading the bottle's contents to disappear all too soon. Made purely with Pinot Meunier from vines planted in 1947 and 1964 in clay and limestone rich soils in the villages of Chavot and Mancy in the Vallée de la Marne, the base wines for "Les Vignes d'Autrefois" are fermented entirely in barrel and do not undergo malolactic fermentation. Needless to say, I was very pleased with the results.
A reasonable memory of high school French should be enough to remind you that "Les Vignes d'Autrefois" means "vines of the past" or "vines from another time." While first and formeost I expect that is the Laherte family's more poetic way of saying "vieilles vignes," I can't help but wonder if it's not also a nod to the fact that Pinot Meunier has become an all but forgotten stepchild, at least in commercial terms, when it comes to the three primary varieties grown in the Champagne region. In any event, I borrowed upon the name for the title of today's post as I think it holds equal relevance to the second wine we drank.
Champagne Extra-Brut "Les Clos," Laherte Frères NV
$60. 12.5% alcohol. DIAM. Importer: Triage Wines, Seattle, WA.
My immediate experience with "Les Clos" on this night was converse to that which I'd had with the "Autrefois." At the Pas Mal tasting, it was the standout of a shining lineup; suffice it to say that, in addition to some more technical details, my notes read something along the lines of, "Fantastic wine... I'm drinking this one." Sandwiched between the forward beauty of the '05 "Les Vignes d'Autrefois" and much anticipated bottles of 1964 Barbaresco and Barolo from Oddero, it was, I fear, not given its proper chance to shine. Such is the danger when opening multiple great wines in one sitting. Nonetheless, I'm confident in saying that the wine was showing great promise and interest — not as immediate in its appeal as "Autrefois" but more mineral, arguably more detailed, and definitely less open-knit. I look forward to trying it again, in a light that will let it fully shine.
"Les Clos," by the way, is another newish wine from Laherte. It's not a vintage-dated wine but to my knowledge there have been only two or, at most, three bottlings of the wine since its first inception. "Les Clos" takes its name from a single, one-hectare vineyard in the town of Chavot, where Laherte Frères is based. The vineyard was planted in only 2003 to all seven of the Champagne varieties: the big three — Chardonnay (18%), Pinot Noir (14%) and Pinot Meunier (18%) — along with the four "heritage" varieties of Champagne, "les vignes d'autrefois," if you will — Fromenteau (10%), Arbanne (8%), Petit Meslier (15%), and Pinot Blanc (17%). All seven varieties are co-harvested and co-fermented.
It gets more complicated than that, though. First, as Peter Liem points out at his worth-every-penny, subscription-only site, ChampagneGuide.net, "Note... that this is the composition of the vineyard—the wine itself doesn't necessarily correspond to these percentages, since the yields of the varieties are not consistently the same." Second, and bearing the same idea in mind when it comes to ratios, "Les Clos" is a solera method Champagne, a "perpetual blend" to borrow again from Peter's words. The wine will be an example of constant evolution over the years, one meant first and foremost to express terroir, as each new vintage is added to the first (2005) and all subsequent years, in the old Burgundy barrels in which "Les Clos" is aged. (For a little more information on Champagne made in the solera method, you may wish to (re)visit my post on Anselme Selosse's "Substance".) In addition to multiple bottlings, Laherte has actually released two different stylistic versions of "Les Clos," one as a zero-dosage Brut Nature and this, the Extra-Brut, which sees a modest four gram/liter dosage.
Finally, here's a little Laherte family history before I bring things to a Clos[e]. (Sorry, just had to do it.) Founded in 1889, Laherte Frères was ushered into the modern era as well as into the business of estate bottling by Michel Laherte, followed by his sons, Thierry and Christian Laherte (thus, Laherte "Frères"). While Thierry and Christian continue as heads of the estate, it is Thierry's son, Aurélien Laherte, who is now responsible for both viticulture and vinification. Representing the seventh-generation of vine growers at Laherte, Aurélien, now only 27, has brought the estate another step forward. All of the family's vineyards — 75 distinct parcels, totaling ten hectares and spread across ten different villages — are now cultivated organically, with about half of those farmed using biodynamic practices. Along with his friend and peer Raphaël Bérèche, Aurélien is also one of the founding members and organizers of Terres et Vins de Champagne.
There's little question in my mind, even less after drinking these beauties, that Aurélien is in the top rank of young Champenois vignerons producing wines worthy of both contemplation and pure, unadulterated enjoyment. You can follow Aurélien and the rest of the Laherte family in action through the seasons at their blog, Nouvelles de Chavot.
And truly finally, just in case the doubling-up of importer information (Pas Mal at the tasting, Triage at dinner) seemed confusing or contradictory, allow me to clarify. The Champagnes of Laherte Frères are imported and distributed by Selection Pas Mal in the NY/NJ market (shipped for them by USA Wine Imports) and by Triage Wines in the Pacific Northwest.

Hey WP,
Thanks for the kind words. From the looks of the supply chain, combined with IL's step backwards when it comes to interstate shipping, it may be difficult for you to source Laherte's wines in Chicago. If you can manage it, though, go for it. I'm pretty confident you'd dig the wines.

One of the books the Scottish philosopher Adam Smith (1723-1790) wrote, The Wealth of Nations (1776), theorizes about the nature of capitalism. The word "capitalism" derives from the word capital, itself deriving from the Latin word caput, meaning head (as in a head of cattle or chattel; a unit of movable wealth). In capitalism, money takes the place of cattle as the unit of movable wealth, and that wealth's use and circulation through acts of exchange are privately determined by individuals, not the government. Capitalism is thus a system of social organization by which private money-making (the build-up of capital, of "herds" of money) is its chief end. Adam Smith defended this way of organizing human affairs, not just on pragmatic terms, but on moral ones, upending millennia of religion-based admonitions that one should aver selfishness. In Smith's view, pursuing one's interests to the general indifference of what happens to strangers is actually central to national prosperity. Free and mutually beneficial trade does a better job of assuring the general welfare than either selfless sharing or charity does:
[M]an has almost constant occasion for the help of his brethren, and it is in vain for him to expect it from their benevolence only. He will be more likely to prevail if he can interest their self-love in his favour, and shew them that it is for their own advantage to do for him what he requires of them. Whoever offers to another a bargain of any kind, proposes to do this. Give me that which I want, and you shall have this which you want. . . It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest. We address ourselves, not to their humanity but to their self-love, and never talk to them of our own necessities but of their advantages. (638)
The millions of people that make up a nation, each one industriously busy in the pursuit of his or her "greatest value" (as privately and selfishly determined) is thus "led by an invisible hand to promote an end which was no part of his intention, " that being "the publick good" (the general prosperity and happiness of society's members as a whole). "By pursuing his own interest he frequently promotes that of the society more effectually than when he really intends to promote it" (646-647).
For Smith, then, selfishness is natural (an aspect of human nature; of a piece with our essence). But if selfishness is natural, so is our sociality and desire to "truck, barter, and exchange one thing for another"—that is, to trade: "Nobody ever saw a dog make a fair and deliberate exchange of one bone for another with another dog. Nobody ever saw one animal by its gestures, and natural cries signify to another, this is mine, that yours; I am willing to give this for that" (638). No animal, that is, except us.

Shake free after massage
Does massage reduce the symptoms of Parkinson's Disease? From my own experience and from what is indicated in research, yes it does. I had the opportunity while working in Sydney where I treated a gentleman suffering from Parkinson's disease. He was at a stage where he was hospitalized and had difficulty walking, eating and caring for himself. Following a general hoistic body massage treatment he showed great improvement and reported feeling better. He was more competent walking and caring for himself for a week following the treatment.
It is also interesting to note that it was recently reported in the media that a parkinsons patient discovered that following some physical exercise, in fact that after riding a pushbike for a short time, that his symptoms greatly reduced for days afterwards.
This seems entirely logical as it both massage and exercise release more dopamine into circulation. Dopamine has many functions in the brain, including important roles in behavior and cognition, voluntary movement, motivation, punishment and reward, inhibition of prolactin production (involved in lactation and sexual gratification), sleep, mood, attention, working memory, and learning.
This is reflected in a report from Touch Research Institute at the University of Miami which concludes that: Massage improved daily functioning, increased quality of sleep and decreased stress-hormone levels in people with Parkinson's disease.
In this study, sixteen adults affected with Parkinson's disease, were randomly assigned to receive either massage therapy or progressive muscle relaxation, for 30 minutes twice a week for five weeks. The massage consisted of 15 minutes in the prone position, focusing on the back, buttocks, ribs, thighs, calves and feet; and 15 minutes in the supine position, focusing on the thighs, lower legs, feet, hands, forearms, upper arms, neck, face and head.
"These data are consistent with previous research showing improvement on activities of daily living following massage therapy, for example, for patients with multiple sclerosis and spinal-cord injuries," state the study's authors. "Together these findings suggest that massage therapy enhances functioning in progressive or degenerative central nervous system disorders or conditions."

With demand rising and property in short supply, there has never been a better time to buy an investment property. The buy to let market is thriving and little wonder. The value of your property will more than likely increase. In some areas in the UK, for example, those increases are solidly in double figures. That means an investment in property makes more sense than any high-interest account. Secondly, you will be able to let your property out in a strong rental market. That means you will be making money at the same time. Here are three easy steps to help you get started.
Know your market
This applies to the property as well as the market for rental. This will help you decide what type of property to buy and where to buy it. All locations are not the same. Put simply, some are quieter than others. Having said that property is not staying long on the market these days. You have to act quickly, especially if you are buying in the competitive entry-level of the market. That means having your finances in place or knowing exactly where the money is going to come from. As a buyer, you will be in a very strong position if you can offer cash or are not involved in a chain.
The area will also dictate the rental market. For example somewhere close to, or in a University town will attract students. Students are less fussy when it comes to accommodation. You could let out two or three rooms in a house. Before you get too carried away with that idea, bear in mind your property may be empty for holidays, and not be as straightforward to manage. It might be a better bet to buy and let a small family home.
Buy with your head and not your heart
This is a financial investment. Unless you are going to live there at some point, don't let your idea of the perfect property affect your decision. You do not have to like the area. You don't have to like the position of the house or have to worry too much about how nice the neighbours are. The only thing that needs to concern you is the legal title and the state of the property. Secure the services of solicitors in sale. They have been doing this for a long time and are perfectly placed to help you through the whole process. You will also need a surveyor. You should be able to get a fixed price, and there are a range of different surveys you can choose.
Do the Basics
Again you are not renovating a property to live in. This is not about what you prefer. Clear the house and garden and decorate for functionality. Neutrality is going to be your best bet. If you fit out a kitchen, invest in good basic appliances. Decide whether you are going to let your property furnished or unfurnished. A family who come with their furniture, for example, may be encouraged to stay longer and look after the property better.
Now you are ready to go, the best thing you can do is engage the services of a property agent who can handle the entire letting process for you.

Local Labour Party members are devastated to learn of the death of Matthew Percy, at the age of 21.
Matthew was a very active member, both in his home constituency of Central Suffolk & North Ipswich and in Ipswich Constituency, regularly campaigning with us on the doorstep and attending meetings. He also undertook a Parliamentary internship with Dan Jarvis MP, was a former Member of the Youth Parliament and a campaigner for better understanding of autism.
Labour's Parliamentary Candidate for Ipswich, David Ellesmere said: "We are all devastated. Matthew joined the Labour Party at a young age and has worked tirelessly. He recently started a University course at UCS and even more recently was elected unopposed for both Kesgrave Town and Martlesham Parish Councils. It is a tragedy that such a young life has been cut short."
Matthew's mother, Holly Percy "Matthew was a kind-hearted, intelligent and thoughtful young man who was loved deeply by all his family and friends.
"While I am devastated by his death, I am proud to have a son who lived his life to help and support others, and to give a voice to other people.
"He loved politics, and was an active campaigner for the Labour Party. He was also a Martlesham parish councillor and spent many years as a member of the UK Youth Parliament, something which meant a great deal to him.
"Matthew lived with autism, but he did not let that hold him back, achieving a huge amount in his short life. He was also a representative for Ambitious about Autism, the NSPCC, the National Express Youth Panel, and many more.
"He liked to help other people, and he liked to help people understand each other.
"I love him and I will always be thinking of him."
Matthew's family have asked to be given privacy during this difficult time.

The focus of Focus Dance, the multiprogram festival presented by Gotham Arts Exchange at the Joyce Theater last week, is less on who's dancing than on who's in the audience: the potential buyers in town for the annual Association of Performing Arts Presenters conference. Most of the selections had been shown recently in New York, but one company was making a New York debut: Rosie Herrera Dance Theater.
Ms. Herrera's troupe hails from Miami, and much of what was distinctive about "Various Stages of Drowning: A Cabaret," the work performed on Thursday on a double bill with Doug Varone and Dancers, seemed to stem from Miami's drag clubs. With its episodic structure, its flowing-haired women in evening gowns and its would-be surreal theatricality dipping into cruelty, the piece could have also been Ms. Herrera's bid to become the Pina Bausch of South Beach.
An aqueous theme is apparent in most of the eight sections. In the opening scene nearly a dozen eccentric characters watch as a woman gets sprayed with water, walks offstage to change gowns and returns to get sprayed again and again. Later Gerardo Pilatti, lip-syncing to Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On," wrings some humor out of the singer's crazed-chicken neck motions before stripping down to a wet suit. A duet to "Baby, It's Cold Outside" generates a little heat by pasting the song's traditionally gendered pursuit and resistance onto an all-male couple, but the first half of "Drowning" is pretty stale.
Then comes a tiny smiling woman, lifted by three men. As they smash her body on top of one cake after another, her protests grow ever more desperate until she's violently snatched offstage. That disturbing note turns more disturbing as a child in a bathtub is wheeled from wing to wing. But then the tiny woman's number is repeated as farce; she's replaced by a hairy chested man who takes sensual pleasure in the cakes.
A cabaret is supposed to be one thing after another, yet this plunging in and out of darker waters feels timid. Especially since the rest of "Drowning," missing its video ending on Thursday because of a technical error, is blandly inscrutable. Is Ms. Herrera serious?
No one would ask that question of Doug Varone. His two contributions to the evening were characteristically earnest and deeply felt, self-serious to a fault. In "Able to Leap Tall Buildings," new for Mr. Varone's Joyce season a few months back, Erin Owen and Alex Springer act like action figures learning to become human. Stiff bodied, collapsing in segments, they look programmed to fight yet fumble after tenderness, uncomprehendingly.
"Lux," from 2006, is one of Mr. Varone's perpetual-motion ensemble pieces, this one riding the tidal pull of Philip Glass's "Light" as a bright circle on the backdrop rises. Despite having at its center the masterly serene veteran Eddie Taketa, the performance on Thursday was weak, a bit sloppy. But in the comparison forced by the shared program, it looked luminous.

The US Republican Candidate: Mitt Romney politically associating with US hatred groups and Republican Extreme Right Groups in using political fallacies without factual relevance.
The US Republican Candidate: Mitt Romney politically associating with US hatred groups and Republican Extreme Right Groups in using political fallacies without factual economic relevance to the fact that Chinese have had trade surplus with the US for over 20yrs,where the US Riches mostly Republicans who have shipped US jobs US wealth as their investment funding capitals to Asia for cheap labor with its poor environmental regulations for their corporate greed.The recent arguments based on non feasible economic jobs creation options, racial politics based on hatred & racial divide, using White House insiders as to propagate false Swiss code account ownership & framing up case against President Obama,with an intent to create a general racial heat up/divide as political tool in wooing gullible US people as to win the next US presidential election, will definitely backfire,counterproductive and will not work,as most moderate & reasonable Americans cannot play to such ugly ideas and politics. Time will come when reasonable US citizens will challenge any such foul attempt and reinstall US greatness through oneness and ideas prepare US as to be able to face the Nostradamus predication that Persia/modern Iran will acquire nuclear arm with the help of Russia and shall use it against Rome, Jew/Israel, southern France and Moscow. The factual relevance of any real economic dynamics that could be proposed and used in creating the US much needed jobs, should be in area of possible US Labor Cost re-negotiation with various Labor groups, working with US Consumers' Protection groups in accepting of slightly lowering the US goods/services' quality & standard and working with some concerned on US environmental Regulations,for US to be able to compete with China led Asia, otherwise all displayed political Jobs creation arguments are mere rhetoric without economic grand norms. And wining Election on false campaign, shall possibly repeat such scenario where the French presidential election of 2012 where Francois Hollande of the Socialist Party challenger François Hollande won the French incumbent Nicolas Sarkozy,but he does not fit in properly into the required EU political & economic dynamism of present France int'l status and he is still till today being seen to be gambling or not really fitting into real French presidential roles and plays' political standards. The Republican extreme rights branding President Obama,as socialist is unfortunate and uncalled for,as Obama comprehensive Health Care, was put in place as to provide US with healthy people,which people the US Military with right stock of quality people who will be able to mine various US Military/Security challenges and to protect US investment/interest globally.The taxing US Riches who owes large businesses/investments as to generate resources For the State,which will enable the Military to have sufficient funds for its global operations and care for US citizens at home. A US comprehensive immigration Policy is very important as the leader of Free World and allow immigrants to know their right of stay and what are obtainable by Law,as well as enable US with its Immigrants live and co-exist harmoniously with Its neighbors/Foreigners. Further details on US Immigration and US Health Care are contained in my website as stated: www.maziliteralworks.wordpress.com It is advisable that apart from the New EU Economic policies formulation and implementation,there should be some serious efforts of restructuring various European little industrialized Countries like, Greece, Italy,Spain Ireland and Portugal whose little industries with its low technological products,were over taken by the China led Asia cheap industrialized goods under its poor non regulated environment. www.maziliteralworks.wordpress.com www.maziliteralworks.blogspot.com www.politic.co.uk/tags/mazi.html www.h-net.org/announce/show. cgi?ID=158850 Regards Mazi Patrick Historian,Thinker/Writer email:email@example.com Mazi literal work is an African literal organization based in writing and international research. ------------------------------------------------------------ The US Citizenry lives &US resources were used in protecting US interest and Businesses globally,US needs protectionist fees/Tax from US riches. US resources were used and lost of US Citizenry lives in protecting US interest and Businesses globally,those who have benefited from prototyping or copying US products/services made from US researches,inventions & discoveries which US have spent so much with aged labor,don't want to give back to US State,shows their hidden immorality and bankruptcy. US administration should insist on a protectionist fees not tax from US riches who have benefited from prototyping or copying US products/services through their Asian Affiliates. ------------ US riches must assist US State,since US resources and Lives were used to globally protect US interest through diplomacy and military. Despotic Regimes around the world could manhandle or seize US investment or companies,if such investments/interest belongs to non US companies or non US citizens of any little country with no military power/know-how. These riches must invest in US by contribution/Tax,since State tools are used to guide and protect their huge investments/businesses around the world.or could US Riches image what will happen to their freedom and businesses,if despotic Regimes hold them at ransom,while arguments by Republicans are simply economic ill logic and unwise. US should formulate some protectionist fees for the US Riches to contribute,since they have shipped US labor/jobs to oversea,due to cheap labor and poor regulatory controls. these goods and services were invented or discovered by US State Efforts,time,aged labor and US resources,which China and others are simply copying or prototyping with their US Shylock businessmen/women for huge profits,leaving US people empty with jobs/wealth for their huge human/material investments, whereas those US citizens who sat for ages in difficult conditions with hard time in laboratories or workshops inventing or researching or discovering products or services for future benefit of all US people at huge cost,without knowing that few greedy people who use such products/services with connivance with China led Asia to amass great wealth for themselves alone . regards Mazi Patrick email: firstname.lastname@example.com

Market Study MBT - The European Market for Mechanical Biological Treatment Plants (Analyst Version)
14 Jun, 2013, 10:07 BST
DUBLIN, June 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/dxzkcr/market_study_mbt) has announced the addition of the "Market Study MBT - The European Market for Mechanical Biological Treatment Plants (Analyst Version)" report to their offering.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130307/600769 )
The market for mechanical biological treatment plants (MBT plants) keeps growing. The number of MBT plants in Europe increased by almost 60 per cent to more than 330 plants between 2005 and 2011.
Within the same period, treatment capacities grew by about 70 per cent to 33 million annual tons. And this growth will continue in the next five years: we expect the number of plants to increase to about 450 and the capacity to increase to 46 million annual tons.
The EU Landfill Directive especially restricts the land filling of biodegradable waste and stipulates a pre-treatment of municipal wastes. In terms of this type of treatment, MBT technology is currently the only alternative to waste incineration, which in many cases is not favoured politically. At the same time, MBT plants benefit from the growing demand for the high-grade refuse-derived fuel they produce: in times of increasing energy prices, it has become an in demand fuel for cement mills, RDF power plants or even coal-fired power plants.
In light of this development, a team of experts analysed the European MBT market in detail. This study includes our own market knowledge as well as the expertise of public administrations, business associations and operators.
The up to date analysis of figures, facts, estimations and trends in the European market for mechanical biological treatment plants is of interest for disposal companies, suppliers, operators, business associations, research institutes and consultants.
The analyst version of the market study "The European Market for MBT Plants 2011/2012 includes":
- A detailed analysis of the pros and cons, technology and costs of mechanical biological waste treatment, including all political and economic trends of the European market.
- A precise description of the present and the future market volumes by countries, up to and including 2015, based on a transparent and comprehensible methodology.
- An analysis and description of the most important operators and plant manufacturers in Europe.

Baweja, D 2014, 'Bridging the gap between engineering practice and academia: a materials supply perspective', in ST Smith (ed.), 23rd Australasian Conference on the Mechanics of Structures and Materials (ACMSM23), vol. I, Byron Bay, NSW, 9-12 December, Southern Cross University, Lismore, NSW, pp. 3-12. ISBN: 9780994152008.
Peer Reviewed
Since commencement in 1967, the ACMSM series of conferences has targeted contributions in materials research, structural analyses, computational studies and foundation engineering, all fundamental to engineering practice. Since that time, there have been major changes and advances in how building and construction projects are managed and delivered and there has been significant change in the commercial landscape in the design, construction and materials supply sectors. The process of how research findings have been implemented into practice has been complex over this time and it has changed with changing commercial and academic environments. How commercial and government segments communicate research needs to academia has also been interesting to observe over time.
This paper considers the role of academic research and its communication and application into engineering practice mainly from a materials supply perspective. This sector forms a major part of the construction industry and underpins infrastructure and building development. It employs a major number of specialist engineers and applied scientists and has had a major link to research over the last 30 years. Importantly, this sector of industry has strong links with the engineering design sector and covers materials such as concrete, binders, aggregates, structural fills, roadbase materials, chemical and mineral admixtures and a vast range of products for construction.

text: Supreme Court Could Limit Discrimination Claims in Fair Housing Case Posted on February 4, 2015 by The National Black Lawyers People sing "We Shall Overcome" at the conclusion of the King Center's 47th annual Martin Luther King Jr. Commemorative Service in Atlanta, Jan. 19, 2015. Reuters/ Christopher Aluka Berry In the days after the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., Congress moved quickly to pass a civil rights law that prohibits housing discrimination, the Fair Housing Act of 1968. On Wednesday, days after the commemoration of King's birthday, the Supreme Court considers arguments about the scope of that law, in a case that has rallied mortgage lenders, insurers and real estate developers on one side, and civil rights advocates and dozens of cities and states on the other. The justices will weigh whether the Fair Housing Act bars only intentional discrimination, or whether discriminatory effects, regardless of intent, are illegal, too. The court's ruling could upend four decades of precedent in the lower courts, and deal a major blow to fair housing advocates, who argue that policies that seem neutral continue to harm protected groups. "Housing lies at the fulcrum of civil rights," said John Relman, an attorney for the National Fair Housing Alliance. "Where you live affects the opportunities that you have for jobs, for better schools, for connections that allow you to have opportunity in your life." The case, Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs v. The Inclusive Communities Project, marks the third since 2011 that the Supreme Court has agreed to examine the issue of discriminatory effects — or, "disparate impact" — in the context of the Fair Housing Act. Two other cases were settled before they reached the justices. The high court's continued interest in the issue has civil rights advocates worried, since 11 circuit courts have already upheld plaintiffs' right to sue over disparate impact. The National Fair Housing Alliance catalogued 27,352 housing discrimination complaints nationwide in its most recent annual report, though the organization estimates that 4 million violations occur each year. Intentional discrimination can be difficult to prove, housing attorneys say, because "smoking guns" are less prevalent today than 50 years ago. The disparate standard, however, has been used to challenge zoning ordinances that block multi-family housing units, as well as policies that might exclude domestic violence victims from apartment complexes. The Obama administration has employed the disparate impact theory to settle fair-lending cases with major banks, including a $335 million settlement with Countrywide in 2013. That same year, the Department of Housing and Urban Development issued its first rule on how to analyze disparate impact claims. "Without question the court is poised to do damage to a key means of vindicating claims under the Fair Housing Act," said Sherrilyn Ifill, president and director-counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund. The Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs disagrees. In a brief to the court signed by the state's attorney general, Texas argues that the text of the law "unambiguously requires intentional discrimination," and that a disparate impact standard "sweeps in defendants who are entirely blameless." The case arises out of Dallas, and centers on the state's allocation of tax credits to build affordable housing units. The Inclusive Communities Project, which advocates for integrated neighborhoods, has criticized the state's approach as limiting low-income black families from being able to move to areas with better opportunities. The group sued the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA), arguing that the state disproportionately slated affordable housing units for minority neighborhoods, and disproportionately denied tax credits for units in predominantly white neighborhoods.
