Residents in SouthWood may soon have a quicker and more direct way to travel between home and downtown via StarMetro. Today, the transit agency announced plans to combine portions of two of its existing routes serving the SouthWood area into one direct route called the Red Hills Express. The proposed service change, which goes before the City Commission on Oct. 23, would allow customers to travel between the two major destinations in as little as 30 minutes with no transfer.
In order to gain feedback from area residents and commuters on the proposed express service, StarMetro planners will hold a public meeting on Thursday, Oct. 17, from 12 to 3 p.m. at Shuster's Café, located at 4055 Esplanade Way.
If approved by the City Commission, the new Red Hills Express, which includes a stop on Magnolia Dr. near Governor's Square Mall, would begin on Monday, Nov. 4.
"By combining the SouthWood portions of the Red Hills and Tall Timbers routes that overlap, we can distribute our resources more efficiently," said Ivan Maldonado, director of StarMetro. "As a result, we can provide a direct, express route from SouthWood to downtown – giving residents and commuters a faster and more convenient service."
The Red Hills Express would offer a high level of service during the typical travel times of commuters. The service would provide eight trips during the day – four trips during the morning and four trips during afternoon peak travel times.
With the proposed express service serving the SouthWood area, the existing Red Hills and Tall Timbers routes would be combined into a single Tall Timbers route. Proposed changes are available for viewing on the proposed system map (PDF).
For more information about StarMetro services, please call 891-5200 or visit Talgov.com/starmetro. Other ways to view information include liking StarMetro's official Facebook page at Facebook.com/starmetrotransit or following the organization on Twitter at Twitter.com/ridestarmetro.

Qi, Wade-Giles romanization ch'i (Chinese: "breath," or "vital energies"), in Chinese philosophy, the ethereal psychophysical energies of which everything is composed. Early Daoist philosophers and alchemists regarded qi as a vital force inhering in the breath and bodily fluids and developed techniques to alter and control the movement of qi within the body; their aim was to achieve physical longevity and spiritual power.
Neo-Confucian philosophers of the Song dynasty (960–1279 ce) regarded qi as emanating from the Great Ultimate (taiji) by way of li, the dynamic ordering pattern of the world. This tradition, whose ideas predominate in traditional Chinese thought, held that qi is manifest through yang (active) and yin (passive) modes as the Five Phases (wuxing; wood, metal, earth, water, and fire), which in turn are the basic processes defining the cosmos.

Pedego: E-bike puts tank toughness in ride
With its new Trail Tracker, Pedego has created the Abrams tank of electric bicycles. Big, burly and painted DayGlo yellow, it doesn't only subvert the image of power-assist bicycles as transportation for the lazy or infirm. It plows it into the ground.
Designed as a heavy-duty, zero-emission off-roader, with monstrous 26-inch knobbies and 4-inch treads, the Trail Tracker is so named for its dirt capabilities, but it's equally at home on sand, grass and pavement.
I spent a weekend with the latest e-bike from Irvine-based Pedego, bombing across the lawn of my local park and wheeling it along a Los Angeles River tributary, the embankment of which is a paved bicycle path that at night apparently doubles as a homeless encampment, considering all the broken pint bottles and discarded shoes.
It's a route I normally ride on my non-motorized Raleigh, swerving around the debris. But on the Trail Tracker, I just rode right over it. For the really rough stuff, it was a bumpy ride because the Trail Tracker doesn't have any suspension other than its bulbous tires and the saddle, which is sprung and otherwise comfortable.
Outfitted with a 48-volt, 10-amp-hour lithium-ion battery pack, the Trail Tracker can travel at a top speed of 20 mph for about 20 miles at full throttle on flat pavement.
Because it's electric, the bike is silent except for the whir of its 600-watt hub motor and the fat tires, which sound similar to a dually pickup.
Its operation is akin to a moped. It can be pedaled without power, or powered without pedaling, but the two propulsion systems are otherwise not connected. At a clip of 20 mph, pedaling will only make riders look as if they're enrolled in a spin class.
The Trail Tracker is a single-speed, so as a pedal bike it feels like a fixie bike. Tipping the scales at a muscular 62 pounds, the Trail Tracker isn't worth the effort as a pedal bike, unless riders are consciously attempting to bulk their thighs. Though ill advised, it is, however, nice to have the option of pedaling should the bike run out of power.
The throttle is similar to a motorcycle's. A key on the battery turns on the juice, but a red button on the right-hand grip also needs to be pressed to make the throttle live. Only the innermost portion of the grip is the throttle. The rest is a traditional handhold.
At one point over the weekend I took the Trail Tracker on a 14-mile round trip that included several hills, which it handled without significant slowing, and I still made it home with range to spare.
How much range, I don't know. The gauge that tracks the bike's charge isn't that specific. The right-hand grip is outfitted with three dummy lights: Green for full, yellow for half and red for empty. The light was toggling between red and yellow when I parked it for the day.
The Trail Tracker's battery is packed as a rectangular brick mounted on the rear carrying rack. It fully recharges in about four hours and can be charged on the go, but it requires riders to bring a small charger along with them. The charger is roughly the same size and weight as a bag of coffee and is a conduit between the bike's battery and a 110-volt wall outlet. The battery can also be removed from the bike with the turn of a key that slides the battery off the rack's rails.
It's a well-designed system on a well-designed bike that, being less expensive than an electric car or motorcycle, could be an option for some commuters as gas prices continue their upward climb.

The United States is a land for dreamers, for curious travellers drawn to bright lights, big mountains and the call of the open road.
America is a country that defies the quick summary. Somewhere between the honking of horns on 5th Avenue and a crowd's roar at Wrigley Stadium, the rustle of a wheat field and the echoes of jazz on the bayou, the sigh of a Utah desert wind and the sizzle of a burger patty, there's an American Dream just waiting to be discovered.
What people say
This trip was truly amazing. Every national park was so unique - it was like entering a new country every few days. There were walks to cater to all abilities and allow everyone to experience the incredible scenery and wildlife.

United States travel FAQs
Entry requirements for the USA have changed in recent years, so please read these instructions carefully.
Many countries now operate under a visa waiver arrangement (meaning you don't need a visa) however you still need to obtain an electronic authorisation which confirms you've been approved to travel. This must be obtained in advance. You can get one from the Electronic System for Travel Authorisation (ESTA) website: https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov
All ESTA applicants require a US$14.00 fee, which you can pay online. You should apply for your visa waiver authorisation at least one week prior to travel. You'll need your passport details and your address while in the United States (just use the address of your starting hotel).
Many citizens from Visa Waiver Program countries can travel within America for less than 90 days without a visa, if they meet certain requirements. You can find more information here: http://travel.state.gov/visa/tempvisitors.html
Tipping is a big part of service culture in America. You'll be expected to tip in restaurants, cafes and diners, as well as taxi drivers, valet attendants, porters and hotel maids. People in these industries generally earn minimum wage, and therefore rely on tips as a major source of income. In general, 15% is appropriate in restaurants, $1 or $2 to bartenders and a few dollars for hotel staff.
Internet access is excellent in the US, with all towns and cities having great connections and plenty of Internet cafes. Wi-fi is common.
Overall, mobile phone access is excellent throughout the country, but it may be patchy in the more remote areas like National Parks and canyons. Ensure global roaming is activated on your phone before you arrive, but please be aware that this may incur extra data charges.
Flush toilets are standard in all American restaurants, hotels and cafes.
- Cup of coffee = US$1.50-2
- Hotdog from street cart = US$2-3
- Newspaper = US$0.50-$2
- Cinema admission = US$10-12
Drinking from taps in the US is considered safe, unless there are warnings saying otherwise. For environmental reasons, please consider a refillable bottle or canteen as opposed to a disposable water bottle.
Most US stores accept major credit cards, but it's always worth carrying around plenty of low denomination cash, in case cards aren't accepted or if you need to tip someone.
ATMs are common in America, and you shouldn't have any trouble finding one in the major towns or cities.
Yes. All Peregrine passengers are required to purchase travel insurance prior to their trip. Your insurance details will be recorded by your leader on the first day.

the perfect flat sandal!
"LOVE this sandal. Goes well with all outfits and super comfy! I first bought this sandal more than a year ago. Wore it ALL the time throughout the spring and summer, plus a little bit of this summer. Finally decided to buy another pair, even though my original pair was still in relatively good shape more than a year later. Very durable! I highly recommend it, and I enjoy all the compliments I receive when I wear it."

Adorable flats!
"I was looking for a way to ease out of my flip flop look without crossing over into the gladiator-style when I came across these. Stepping outside of my comfort zone, I bought them in brown, and now I go to them anytime I want to wear flats, whether I'm wearing them with an outfit that's a little dressy or not! I have a feeling I'm going to be wearing them a lot this summer!"

Shimano Blackmoon Backpack Black Small - $119.99
Place Your Order
Customer Feedback
Comments: This is a follow up on my feedback. After 7 months of use,this bag is not as good as I thought it was.The fabric is not very durable,it started to tear up on one corner by the seam in an area that does not get any pressure from weight or tools at all,it just started to rip open.The people at Shimano covered it through the warranty but, as soon as I got the replacement I strored up my lures and this time not as many as the previous load,and took it out fishing and now the stitches holding the top handle are coming apart,on the first day of light use! Not really happy with the made in china quality at all.Shimano offered to send a pre-paid label to have it replaced again but I decided to stitch it back my self and will see if it holds before I send it back for either a refund or exchange. Not good!!!
From: Charles: Ewing, NJ
Comments: I just received my new backpack and I love it. It has a lot of space and the storage boxes can hold a ton of lures in them,well thought and looks tough too. Very convenient for the walk around a pond fishing trip.

A top choice for neutral runners looking for shock absorption and comfort, the Nike Air Pegasus+ 29 features moderate cushioning and an extra-soft ride.
The Nike Air Pegasus 29 gives you high mileage comfort without weighing you down. This neutral shoe has a light, forgiving midsole that soaks up miles and keeps legs well protected from the hard ground. The form-fitting upper is made with breathable mesh and the waffle outsole gives even more underfoot cushioning. Lace up these daily trainers and get going on the many miles ahead.
Model Number:
Weight: 10.2 oz (size 9)
Stack Height: Heel (32mm), Forefoot (20mm)
How It Fits (based on width D) Width D=Medium
Product Lifecycle
The Nike Air Pegasus+ 29 is a moderate featured, moderate neutral shoe designed for daily training and high mileage. It is built with a semi-curved shape. This shoe is Nike+ sensor compatible.
Comments: I have run 30 miles a week for 52 weeks in this wonderful shoe, 100 percent injury free. Yes, I love it.
From: Matt, Severna Park, MD, USA
Comments: This is a very soft shoe with a great fit in the upper. I ended up paying a price for all the buttery softness, though: the dreaded PF injury. I've never encountered it before and after not training in this shoe for a few weeks, it went away. Still a great shoe to walk around in.
From: Nate, Des Moines, IA
Comments: All of the positive reviews have summed it up nicely, this shoe is simply a pleasure to run in. I look forward to every opportunity I get to lace them up.
From: Colin, Upper NW, DC, USA
Comments: This is a tremendous shoe, the upper is off the charts comfortable, and the cushioning is spot-on perfect. To me they feel like a supremely cushioned Free Run, can't imagine how Nike will improve on the 29, but knowing them, they will!
From: Sonny, Annapolis, MD, USA
Comments: I really enjoy them so far. I've had them about 6 days. I bought them for retail work (8+ hours a day walking or standing the entire time.) I was having major issues with sore/bruised/aching feet. After trying out numerous shoe types, insoles, and even $130 New Balances (MW927), I decided to try these because I really prefer the feel and flexibility of a running/athletic shoe (the NB walkers are crazy bulky). After a bit of research into my issues, I discovered that I was an under-pronator. After reading other's reviews, I decided the cushy-ness of this shoe might help to alleviate my issues. So far, they have helped greatly and I think I might be ordering some more in the near future. They can be loud on some surfaces but not too bad. I have gotten multiple compliments in the short time I've had them (red). Shipping was fast and they fit great.
From: Roan, Land O Lakes, FL, USA
Comments: Great shoe, great colors, great job Nike!
From: Dave, Rockville, MD, USA
Comments: I've had 2 Pegasus 29's. This shoe is killer. I have put 700 miles or so (I think) on one pair (mostly trails but they are totally done). I am a forefoot striker who over pronates, so typically would be fit for a stability shoe, but I find the Pegasus amazing. I have tried the Structure 16 and Lunarglide 4, and neither compare. Will keep running in these until they screw up an update.
From: Samuel, Irvine, California, USA
Comments: I have 4 pair of the Peg 29, Nike absolutely knocked this one out of the park and into the parking lot. Incredible shoe, works for me on every level. Best Peg yet...
From: Arturo, Queen,s NY, USA
Comments: I absolutely love the Peg 29, I started with the Shield version, then subsequently bought 2 more pair to rotate. The heck with all the minimalism nonsense, give me the Cadillac.
From: Rick, Mount Vernon, VA, USA
Comments: I'm slightly in the minority, as I don't feel these are THAT extremely cushy. They are certainly a cushioned trainer, but compared to, say, my old Vomero 4s, these are both more narrow and less cushioned and slightly less stable. The fit is interesting.. while having decent room in toe box, they are pretty narrow mid foot, and heel has plenty of room. I supinate, high arches, and need neutral shoes, but I sort of wobble about in these so far. I haven't tried the newest Vomeros, but if folk are saying the Peg 29 is cushier and better fitting, then the Vomero line has truly changed. My Vomero 4s have more room in the toe box, better fit in the heel, and the midfoot wrap is about perfect. I can't throw them away even after many years of abuse because they are still the most cushioned shoe I've ever had.. arguably too cushy for running, depending on your preference, but ridiculously cushy! The Peg 29 is a good shoe and I'll run it until this pair is done, but I don't know that I'd buy it again..it's not the cushion, which is plenty, it just is sort of a 'blah' shoe in both fit and materials and ride; I'm glad i got it on sale. Honestly the Vomeros I had both fit and felt like a more expensive shoe (which it is).. that bites if they've ruined that line. Another thing of note, on my first couple runs in the Peg, the heel is really noticeable..don't know how else to explain it. Rear cushion is certainly there and ample, the most cushioned part of the ride for sure, but it's almost as if it forces your foot to use it. I've been running in Launches and Miz Enigmas, and I feel the heel in these Peg 29s the most of any shoe I've had in recent memory. Don't know if it's an effect of their flat sole design maybe? Could be I just need more miles in 'em. Right now I can classify them as passable on my first few runs, but they haven't blown me away.
From: Stu, MT
Comments: Also got these at the track Olympic trials, Didn't like the 28's as much, but as soon I put these on I knew they were the shoe for me. got about 700 miles in them now and there still going strong. highly recommend
From: Nick, Goshen, In
Comments: The Peg 29 is the new Vomero. For some reason, it's the softer, more cush of the two this year. High-mileage rockstar. Removing the crash pad from the back makes it a smoother ride from previous versions. Joe mentioned the fit - I had to go up 1/2 size. It's kind of narrow towards the heel but that also does a great job locking you in.
From: Anonymous
Comments: Great shoe lots of cushioning, I don't beat my knees to death wearing either the 28s or 29;s.
From: mike, cusick, WA
Comments: Time to stock up on the 28's while I can still find them. Because these 29's simply do not fit my foot. My history with Air Pegasus began with the 26's which I really liked. Then along came the 27's which did not work for me at all. When the +28 version came out I was thoroughly impressed. The fit was absolutely perfect for me - felt very similar to the +26 but with improved cushioning & less weight. The +28 has become my all time favorite running shoe. I'm sad to see them go away. Because their replacement, the new +29 does not work for me. The 29's are lighter, softer, spongier, more breathable with a lot less room in the toe-box. My toes feel so cramped inside these shoes that I can't even take them out on a trial run. Year after year the Pegasus keeps coming with up new "improvements". However the versions are so vastly different you cannot count on them. I'll keep my fingers crossed for the 30's next year!
From: Joe, SC, USA
Comments: If you want plush cushioning, this is the shoe for you. This is the softest shoe I have ever run in. I am a natural forefoot striker and the forefoot cushioning is immense. I do like walking in them, but for running, I prefer a bit more responsiveness and ground feel in a trainer. They are a keeper for me, though, because I enjoy walking on clouds. :D
From: GioV, Irvine, CA
Comments: I got these during the track Olympic Trials in Eugene. Love them! They are lighter and more comfortable than the 27s that I had. The updated heel feels just as great and cushioning in the forefoot is the right blend of squish and repulsion. There are no distractions in this shoe for me.
From: Tony, Eugene, OR

At some point in time, every computer user had their computer "freeze" - that is, the computer stops responding to keypresses or mouse movements. It's an awfully frustrating event.
The problem is, it's often hard to ascertain whether the computer is actually locked up or simply really busy "thinking" for a moment.
If the hard drive light (usually a green or amber colored LED on the front of the computer) is blinking intermittenly, chances are it's just busy.
If the lock up is only restricted to one program (other computer menus or features work fine), chances are that closing the faulty application will restore the computer to regular operation.
But probably the most definitive test to determining if the computer is actually frozen or not is whether the keyboard responds. When the caps lock is pressed, does the caps light on the keyboard go on or off? Does pressing the num lock make the num lock light go on or off? If there's no visible change, then chances are you're locked up.
As most new computers have "soft" power switches, most computer users can simply press and hold the power button on the front of their computer for more than 10 seconds and the PC should suddenly shut off. Let it sit idle for a minute or two and simply power it back on.

SecondHandJets, on 29 May 2013 - 09:46 PM, said:
Yes I group all special interests with lobbying power together. I don't care whether they're Native Americans, farmers, oil etc etc it's all detrimental to our nation. Unfortunately, no one cares enough to change how things work so we'll forever be doing the bidding of the guy that's got enough on the line to pay someone to bang their drum for him.
Oh God, that's more then three lines. All that text is too difficult for me.
I'll just pick out certain things out of all your nonsense.
First there are millions more black people in America than there are Native-Americans. A quick history lesson here. As I said before whites (rich whites) first tried to enslave the Native-Americans to do their work. But they kept getting sick and dying because of they weren't immune to European diseases. So when a slave ship from Africa on it's way to that Caribbean got ship wrecked in Virginia, that's when African slavery started in what is now the USA. Africans did more trading with Europeans and were immune to most of the deadly diseases because of that. Now because of the GENOCIDE committed here on the Native-Americans, they have since the beginning of the 20th century made up less than 5% of the population (and that's being very generous). Now they make up 1% of the overall population. 1% that's all. While the descendants of African slaves make up around 12-13% of the overall population. You're going to notice and hear 13% of something more than you will 1% of something. There are more black people and groups to make a stink about XYZ than there are Native-Americans. Then there is for years many Native-American tribes did not (and do not) consider themselves "Americans." They saw themselves as Sioux or Navajo, etc. But that's even a longer discussion all together. Now your claim that there have been dozens of Native-Americans who've played in the NFL, like who? How many Native-Americans have been Pro Bowlers and HoFers? How many N-A players of influence? I only know of two players off the top of my head. Jim Thorpe and Sam Bradford (who is only like 1/10th Native-American or something). Shit I have more Dutch blood in me than Bradford has Native-American blood in him. Compared to the number of black pro athletes to Native-American pro athletes, the number is not even close. So the black athletes will have more voices to express their displeasure over something. Plus there are more black consumers of pro sports than Native-American consumers. Meaning more blacks put their money into the NFL than Native-Americans do. Plus you know maybe if the U.S. hadn't killed millions of Native-Americans and not forced them onto reservations, there would be more of them today to complain about the Redskins' name. You know that old strength in numbers thing.
Wonderful, another excuse for you to use the n-word. Any excuse right? Anyway, no black athlete would even get the chance to say they wouldn't play for the "New York N******." Because the second after Woody even thought about changing the name to that, he'd know he could never do it. The NAACP, the National Urban League, the SCLC and other blacks would raise hell. The other owners and Goodell wouldn't even let him send out that press release. He would be publicly ridiculed for even proposing that. Why? Because that word has been publicly unacceptable for decades, even longer in the north. Again there have been more blacks to make that word unacceptable than there is N-A's to make redskin unacceptable. There are black people all over this country. There are more people with a "black friend" or co-worker or classmate than there are people with a Native-American person in there life. Now I bet you're not going to go to a Indian reservation and call people there a redskin or a savage. Because it wouldn't be socially unacceptable there. But again because there are less of them to make a stink about the word "redskin" (unlike blacks and the n-word) and less of them in our daily lives, the name (though still racist) will stay. Until there is enough people to bitch about the redskin name and it's changed. But that's going to take many more discussions like this. And one way to create discussions like this is by people with influence (like members of congress for example) to bring this issue to national attention like it has. This is how change is made. More and more people paying attention to something and voicing displeasure over it to those in power. Then lobby those people in power to gather more attention and push for change. What is the Native-American version of the NAACP or Urban League (groups that lobby)? If they have one they are nowhere near as influential as the NAACP. Maybe if they had more members....oh yeah, their people were massively killed generations ago. That makes creating something like the Civil Rights Movement very difficult for them.
So if Troy Polamalu doesn't stand up to Dan Snyder that must mean keeping that name is right? Maybe Troy is wrong for not speaking out and taking a stand. Or maybe he believes in Michael Jordan's philosophy for not taking a stand on certain issues or supporting certain people or things. Jordan allegedly said "Republicans buy shoes too." Maybe Troy feels if he spoke out there would be backlash that would hurt him professionally and financially. IDK. Does that make him a little complacent pussy? It might. Maybe he doesn't see himself (and Samoans) as a Native-American, maybe he hasn't given it much thought. Now that you bring it up, I'd like to know his opinion on the redskin slur being used as the Washington team's name still in 2013. Maybe he needs to be lobbied to take a stand. Then again we saw what happened when Chris Kluwe and Brandon Ayannadejo spoke out in favor of gay marriage rights. Some people said they should just shut up and not get involved in political matters. They were just football players and shouldn't talk about other stuff. Maybe that's why a star player like Polamalu doesn't speak out. He should IMO. Not just him, all players should. But he's grown up in an era in sports where athletes are told when they're in high school that they're just _____ball players and they shouldn't speak out. Because "Republicans buy shoes too," so don't do or say anything that would be bad for business. Just because Troy's been quite on this doesn't make it okay to stick with redskins as a team's name. You know that two wrongs don't make a right thing.
Okay, that's enough.

This restaurant is cozy, romantic, trendy and offers probably the best service you will find outside the big hotels. Popular with the local community, tourists and Bangkokians alike, it seems to have grown from strength to strength over the past few years.
The Pasta Factory Restaurant Hua Hin (owner Nut and Hannes) has also featured on TV Channel 11 and in many international magazines. Inside the restroom area is the visitor's book, and judging from the many comments written in it, the restroom is one of the talking points of Pasta Factory, along with the food of course. The food is extremely reasonable and very good, come and try it for yourself.

Paris thing sandal

Very Uncomfortable !! DO NOT BUY
"Loved these shoes when I bought them due to the style and color that would match everything. Have now had these shoes for about 3 months and every time I wear them after a few hours my feet begin to kill me. I wore them the other day for around 7 hours (had never worn them this long before) and was almost in tears due to the lack of support these shoes have. My feet were throbbing and I had to leave the outing I was at due to the fact that I could not walk in these shoes anymore. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND TO ANYONE."

Went a half-size down
"Normally I wear a size 7, but I noticed the size 7 was a little long on me so I sized down to a 6.5. I owned another pair of flat sandals before (different brand) in a size 7 and they ended up getting too loose and becoming hard to walk in after they stretched out a bit. I have to break these shoes in a little bit, but they are really cute and I plan on getting a lot of use out of them this summer."

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
What began in September of 2003 ended with a victory celebration on June 4 at the United Mine Workers Hall in Price. The saga of the Co-op miners began when they came to the defense of a fellow miner who had been fired by the CW Mining Company. The miners all walked off the job in support of Bill Estrada. The mining company supposed the workers had all quit, as they had all walked off the job. The Emery County Sheriff's Office was called by the mining company to remove the miners from the property.
This began a two and a half year fight by these miners to obtain dignity and respect. One of their main arguing points was the low wages received by the workers. The wages are below the average of other mines in the area. A 10 month picket line was maintained at the mouth of the road leading to the Bear Canyon Mine.
The miners struggle garnered much nationwide attention and the Co-op miners became a voice for oppression in the labor movement worldwide. Their efforts brought much support from miners in Australia, New Zealand, Arizona, Colorado, California and other states. Other labor unions took part at the picket line and special events. The longshoreman union from San Francisco marched at the picket line in the dead of winter in early 2004.
Bob Butero, region four organizing director for UMWA, said, "A total victory would be a union contract and workers under a union mine. That victory didn't happen."
The Co-op miners celebrated the dismissal on May 1 of this year by Federal Judge Dee Benson of the lawsuit that the CW Mining Company had filed against the miners, newspapers and other organizations involved with the miners. The judge ruled the case was, "an attempt to intimidate employees and quell honest discussion concerning labor issues."
The Co-op miners and the UMWA were able to reach a settlement with CW Mining to withdraw their lawsuit against the three groups the judge had not dismissed. These were the UMWA, the Militant newspaper and Utah Jobs with Justice. The company also agreed to pay back wages to some miners who were involved in the union organizing effort.
Bill Estrada welcomed everyone to the celebration. "There are people who traveled long distances today to be here, thank you for coming. Our fight has accomplished some important things. We are yet to see how our fight fits into the future of labor struggles going on today or coming. We have seen millions of workers taking to the streets nationwide these marches can strengthen the labor struggles in this country.
"We have been a part of changing conditions in this place (mine) and be an example to other workers. Every step of the way we have had to figure things out. We have defeated the company every step of the way. We have had the support of the community and the UMWA. In the 10 months picket line the company tried to keep us off. They contacted the BLM, UDOT and they couldn't do it. We were allowed to keep our trailer there. The strike gained respect in Utah and beyond," said Estrada.
Estrada emphasized that holding the election to vote for union representation was a big step for the miners. In Sept. 2004 the mining company filed a lawsuit which stated the company had been defamed by remarks made by the striking miners and by the newspapers that printed the remarks. Estrada said that the National Labor Relations Board had ruled twice during the two and a half year struggle that the miners were fired for union activity.
"The miners feel confident and they don't regret any of the actions taken. We are in a better situation to fight for safety and better working conditions," said Estrada.
Mike Dalpiaz, international vice-president UMWA, thanked the miners from the entire staff at the union. He said they came to the aid of the miners from the first moment they said they had trouble at the mine. "We came to their rescue and we have won every step of the way. It has become a worldwide fight, through email, telephone conversations; everyone is concerned about the dignity of workers and has stepped up to the plate to help.
"We have all seen the publicity on the immigrant workers legislation pending in Congress. Immigrant workers made this country. All my grandparents came here from another country. This fight is no different than that. We need to do it again. We need to get on the street and make people listen. We need to win battles like we've done at Co-op. Get out and get working," said Dalpiaz.
Butero said in reference to immigration, "Over time there is a continuous ongoing battle or war we have to fight. As Mike talked about immigrants, in this room there are only two people in this room who are not immigrants and that is our brother and sister from the Navajo nation. Everyone else is an immigrant. We have a problem with the immigration system. We have a problem with the outsourcing of jobs from the United States to third world countries. There is an ongoing battle against working people. I hope everyone here today will keep in mind and every time they are called upon to fight that battle they will answer that call. The war will only be won when workers around the world have the same economic status that everyone has. Workers come to the US to seek economic justice. They would rather live in their countries if they could have found that economic justice."
Butero described the Co-op miners as a brave group who took on a battle that not a lot of Americans would have taken on. At this point the Co-op miners received a standing ovation from the crowd and heavy applause. One of the first responders in rendering aid to the displaced miners was local union 958 out of Sunnyside. Jack Smith, now deceased, passed the picketers in Huntington Canyon and came to their aid with a food drive.
Allyson Kennedy, one of the Co-op miners told the story of the lawsuit and how it came to be dismissed. "Everyone who participated in this fight have become changed people. What we've accomplished sets an example everywhere to fight for safety in the mines."
George Nichols from Jobs for Justice spoke, he said some labor groups are not supportive of immigrants. He said he couldn't stand the exploitation of the miners. "Little by little we have opened a lot of minds. These are just working families. It is a great honor to be a small part of this fight," said Nichols.
Militant newspaper editor said with the dropping of the lawsuit, freedom of speech and freedom of the press was secure. The fight brought to the public's eye the right for workers to speak of dangerous conditions before anyone dies on the job and not after. The Militant will continue to print stories of workers struggles.
Ed Thomas and Treven Alexander from the long shoreman union and drill team came from San Francisco in support of the miners. He recalled the long trip to Utah when they marched at the picket line and how they lifted the miners spirits as they marched off the bus. Thomas led those present in a union song.
Samuel Johnson, president of the local in Arizona spoke for the McKinley mine in support of the miners.
Estrada said they are ready to join with other workers as needed in their labor struggles.
Gifts of appreciation were given to those involved in the fight.
The struggle of the Co-op miners may have ended for now, but they have learned what's needed to stand up for workers everywhere and they demand respect and dignity for all as they go about their jobs and contribute to the economy of America.

OXFORD – Memphis-based Malco Theatres has acquired the closed 10-screen movie theatre and outdoor amphitheater, formerly called The Amp, in the Oxford Commons development at Highway 7 and Sisk Avenue.
Malco officials say they also will acquire adjacent property from Kenlan Development Co. to double the size of the building, converting it to a Family Entertainment Center including the theatre and amphitheater, a 26-lane bowling center with a boutique bowling area, a bar and restaurant, birthday party and event rooms and a redemption game area featuring a laser maze and bumper cars.
Malco already operates the Malco Studio Cinema, an eight-screen theater complex in the Oxford Mall on West Jackson Avenue.
"We are very excited about the second location and look forward to both theaters being an integral part of the Oxford community for many, many years to come," said Karen Scott, the company's marketing director. "The additional screens in the market will allow Malco to offer a wide range of independent, foreign and smaller films that it was not previously able to show in Oxford. Also, the digital projection systems will enable Malco to show concerts, operas, live theater and sporting events."
The former Amp will be remodeled with all new rocking chair seats, upgraded sound systems, and new state-of-the-art digital projection. Company officials say the theater portion of the project will open by Labor Day. When completed next year, the total theater/bowling/family entertainment center will employ approximately 100 people.
Oxford Commons is a 480-acre planned unit development. The theater was intended to be the hub of an "off-Square Square" that would combine entertainment, dining, retail shops, professional offices and residential development when it began in the latter 2000s. With a slow economy, however, development has been slower than originally anticipated. Besides the theater, which was open only a few months, it is home to the Oxford Conference Center and National Guard Armory, a Wendy's restaurant, one school and another under construction and one hotel and another under construction.
Lance Forsdick Jr. of Kenlan Development is very excited by the announcement.
"Malco's plan for the theatre and family entertainment center … should generate a renewed interest in the area for retail and restaurant development. We are glad to see the Malco theater finally becoming the centerpiece of an exciting new area of town that promises to offer more eating, shopping and entertainment options for the entire region."

For Immediate ReleaseAugust 15, 2002
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Attorney General John Ashcroft and the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) today awarded the New York City Police Department (NYPD) a $49.4 million fiscal distress waiver. The award allows the NYPD to redirect these funds toward other critical issues resulting from last year's terrorist attack.
"On September 11th, the city of New York and her people paid a tremendous price for being one of the most visible symbols of our great nation," said Ashcroft. "While we can never repay New York's sacrifice, we will help aid her recovery."
In 2000, the COPS Office awarded the NYPD a three-year, $92 million grant to hire an additional 1,230 officers. The conditions of the grant required the NYPD to match the federal money with $76 million of local funding. Today's waiver covers a portion of the city of New York's matching funds requirement.
Immediately following September 11th, at the request of the Attorney General, the COPS Office waived $10 million in matching funds for the same grant, bringing the total amount waived to just under $60 million.

101 things to do in London: nights out
Find the best of London with our ultimate list of things to do in the capital
Scroll through the list below for our pick of the world-class entertainment on offer in London. Whether you want to go clubbing, see a film, hear top live music or enjoy the spectacle of a West End theatre show, let Time Out's experts be your guide...
What's missing from the list? Have your say: on Facebook | on Twitter using #ultimatelondon | in the comments below
The best theatre, clubbing and nightlife in London
Watch a West End musical
London's West End is full of long-running classics such as 'The Lion King', 'Billy Elliot the Musical' and 'Les Misérables' - shows with slick production values and an involving story that offer guaranteed entertainment. And the choice just keeps getting better, with the arrival this year of new big hits such as 'Shrek the Musical' (see our video of actor Nigel Lindsay's dramatic transformation into the titular ogre above) and 'Matilda' (with music and lyrics by Tim Minchin).Save money on tickets for the latest West End shows with our special offers
For a full guide to the best (and worst) shows in town, see our 'London musicals' page.
Try some off-West End theatre
From the Gate to the Arcola, from the Menier Chocolate Factory to the Donmar Warehouse, there's arguably more varied and interesting theatre happening away from the official Theatreland venues. Attracting established writers and glittering new talent as well as great actors, these off-West End theatres are helping to create a golden age for drama on the London stage. The city's fringe shows are also worth checking out.Buy tickets for off-West End theatre shows
See a superstar DJ at the Ministry of Sound
Clubs103 Gaunt St, SE1 6DP. Elephant & Castle tube.
Everybody should let their hair down at the Ministry of Sound once in their life. The club's labyrinthine interior is housed inside an old bus depot, and you'll find something to suit most tastes in the various bars, chillout rooms and dancefloors. With a huge roster of resident DJs and regular superstar guests dishing out trance, techno, house, electro and more, it's impossible not to join the seething, ecstatic crowd.Read more about the Ministry of Sound
Discover the best cabaret
London's cabaret scene goes from strength to strength, with more underground venues and mainstream productions popping up on the radar every month. Most shows are short runs, so check our listings for the latest highlights but there are a few long-established nights too. At the Café de Paris, 'La Rève' on Friday and the Wam Bam Club on Saturday are raucous nights with high-quality acts and up-for-it crowds. Bête Noire at Madam JoJos offers a vintage-electro-rockabilly vibe and plenty of cracking performers. The Box is the outrageous hot spot du jour for the deep-pocketed; other good bets include the Bethnal Green Working Men's Club (speciality: bonkers party nights), Bistrotheque (queer and experimental work), CellarDoor (often free shindigs), the Pheasantry (jazz singing) and the Soho Theatre Downstairs (London's newest showcase space).Find more events on our Cabaret page
Drink in a speakeasy
Economic depression and speakeasies seem to go together like Bonnie and Clyde. They're all over London, but you need to be in the know. The thrill of illegal drinking may be missing, but the dress code, entertainment, secret door policy and hard liquor are all present and correct. Try Shoreditch's Nightjar or The Mayor of Scaredy Cat Town; The Experimental Cocktail Club in Chinatown; or the visually arresting Bathhouse in the City.Read our guide to London's best speakeasies
Get into classic and arthouse cinema
From atmospheric old-school gems like the Phoenix in East Finchley and the Rio in Dalston to the modern movie experience (with sofas, waitress service and lots of legroom) at the Everyman and its sister cinemas, London's eclectic movie houses are the envy of the cinephile world. For exciting repertory cinema, check out the BFI Southbank, the Riverside, the Prince Charles and the Picturehouse chain. But go easy on the popcorn… no one wants to listen to you crunching your way through a classic pivotal scene.See the latest cinema listings on our Film page
Also suggested by: The Londonist
Get thee to Shakespeare's Globe
Theatre21 New Globe Walk, SE1 9DT (020 7401 9919). London Bridge tube or rail.
A 20-minute stroll from the Southbank Centre east along the riverside walk will take you to Shakespeare's Globe, a replica Elizabethan theatre, meticulously constructed using 400-year-old building techniques. There's an exhibition on Shakespeare plus elegantly displayed costumes. And, of course, there are also fantastic productions of works by the Bard and his contemporaries.Read more about Shakespeare's Globe
Go to 'The Gong Show' at The Comedy Store
Comedy1a Oxendon St, SW1Y 4EE. Piccadilly Circus tube.
Like 'The Apprentice' for comedians, with the audience playing the part of Lord Sugar and a gong taking the place of the immortal line, 'You're fired'. Would-be funny folk take to the stage, and try not to get gonged off. Most slots for this club (on the last Monday of every month) are booked in advance, but if you're feeling funny, there are a few audience spots up for grabs. Break a leg!Read more about The Comedy Store
Have a right old East End knees-up
BarsThe Palm Tree, 127 Grove Rd, E3 5BH (020 8980 2918). Mile End tube or bus 8, 25 | Bethnal Green Working Men's Club 42-46 Pollard Row, E2 6NB. Bethnal Green tube.
At The Palm Tree pub in Mile End Park you'll find a brilliant mix of lifelong East Enders and hipster students, boozing against a backdrop of old-school flock wallpaper and signed photos of light entertainers. A jazz band plays every weekend, with star turns from some of the locals, the old guys ask the girls to dance and if you're lucky, it all turns into a singalong. Eat your heart out Albert Square. Want some alternative East End fun? Try the Bethnal Green Working Men's Club with its programme of quirky lounge, retro rock 'n' roll and fancy-dress burlesque parties.Read more about Bethnal Green Working Men's Club
Jive at the Rivoli Ballroom
Dance350 Brockley Rd, Lewisham, SE4 2BY. Crofton Park rail.
Jive Party night happens every third Saturday of the month at the Rivoli Ballroom, when the place is jumping with dance amateurs and enthusiasts throwing shapes to music from the live band. An early dance class for beginners means everyone can join in and the setting is fantastic, complete with chandeliers, plush red velvet furnishings and a sprung dancefloor.Read more about the Rivoli Ballroom
Join in the fun at Royal Vauxhall Tavern
Gay & Lesbian372 Kennington Lane, SE11 5HY. Vauxhall tube or rail.
The decor in London's oldest gay pub is a bit scuffed at the edges, but there's nothing faded about the RVT's clientele. Saturday nights are the big ones, with queer performance outfit Duckie regularly providing the entertainment. Bar Wotever on Tuesday evenings is an open-mic session for up-and-coming queer talent and Friday is DJ club night.Read more about the Royal Vauxhall Tavern
Listen to choral evensong in a cathedral
Classical Music
You don't have to be religiously inclined to appreciate the ethereal majesty of pitch-perfect voices in a sublime setting. Head to one of London's great cathedrals late afternoon to hear evensong. At St Paul's and Westminster Abbey, evensong is every day at 5pm. At Southwark, the girls' choir sings on Mondays and Thursdays, while the boys' choir sings on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays (times vary).See more classical music events on our Classical & Opera page
Lose yourself in live music at a famous gig venue
Sure, there's Wembley and the O2 for the biggest names in rock, but for visceral atmosphere, head to London's more intimate live venues. Legendary Soho jazz den Ronnie Scott's isn't quite the same without the haze of cigarette smoke, but still feels like a '50s beatnik hangout. Camden Town's Jazz Café and the famous 100 Club on Oxford Street are great for sound quality and atmosphere. Or head to the Roundhouse in Camden for both arty and big-name performances inside an (albeit glamorous) old tramshed.Read our guide to London's best music venues

Trans Fat

Arizona State University - Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law
February 3, 2009
Hofstra Univ. Legal Studies Research Paper No. 09-11
Penn State Legal Studies Research Paper No. 08-2009
In her book, Fat Rights: Dilemmas of Difference and Personhood, Professor Anna Kirkland uses fat discrimination as a case study to examine the ways in which we talk about difference in antidiscrimination law. She argues that the proper way to frame questions of difference in antidiscrimination is not in terms of protected traits or categories, but rather in terms of what she calls "logics of personhood." The logics of personhood are narratives that enable us to talk about which differences matter in a given discrimination case. In other words, they are ways of talking about what happens when people do or do not have rights, as well as whether certain people should be protected by antidiscrimination law. After applying the logics to the case of fat discrimination, Kirkland joins a growing community of scholars seeking to transcend antidiscrimination law's categories. By identifying in the logics of personhood the presumptions that lay beneath the surface of antidiscrimination law, Kirkland creates an entirely new way to talk about differences among people.
In this Book Review, we extend Professor Kirkland's discussion of fat plaintiffs to a discussion of transgender plaintiffs. Much like fat plaintiffs, transgender plaintiffs' only hope of articulating actionable discrimination claims is to map their claims onto existing antidiscrimination norms. As Kirkland demonstrates in Fat Rights, fat plaintiffs must cast themselves as disabled in order to state an actionable discrimination claims. And as we demonstrate in this Book Review, transgender plaintiffs must cast themselves as gender-nonconformists in order to state actionable claims. While both fat and transgender employees may be willing to negotiate their identities to win lawsuits against their discriminatory employers, the purpose of this Book Review is to ask whether they should have to. We use Kirkland's logics of personhood to demonstrate that fat plaintiffs and transgender plaintiffs share a common frustration with respect to antidiscrimination law's protected categories, namely, that antidiscrimination law sees both fat people and transgender people differently from how they see themselves. And we argue further that this is a significant harm to a plaintiff's dignity and that antidiscrimination law should take into consideration such dignitary harms.
