Town Square
High Speed Rail promoters knocking on your door
Original post made by Morris Brown, Menlo Park: Park Forest, on Jul 26, 2008
They are college students who have been recruited for paid summer jobs to promote this project. Their employer is the "California Public Interest Research Group" (CALPIRG).
CALPIRG claims to "take on powerful interests on behalf of Californians, working to win concrete results for our health and our well-being."
Well in this case CALPIRG has been paid to hire these students with a goal that 100,000 California voters will be personally contacted before the Nov. 2008 election. Who is funding this effort? Why the very same powerful interests CALPIRG claims to oppose. The funding is coming from a consortium of construction firms, venture capitalists, construction unions etc.
What does this project mean for Menlo Park, Atherton and other cities along the peninsula?
It means four (4) tracks running through our cities, requiring a minimum of 100 feet of corridor on which CalTrain currently has only 60 -65 feet in many portions.
It means eminent domain proceedings to acquire additional space.
It means tracks raised on a 15 foot high berm and electrical catenaries another 20 feet above that.
It means cutting hundreds of trees along the tracks.
It means approval of a project that will cost by their own estimates $45 billion. With debt service costs and escalated construction costs sure to evolve, the final cost will be well above $100 billion.
So this is what these young faces are promoting.

That is completely inaccurate. Nobody pays CALPIRG to canvass on issues. Please check your facts before making accusations. High speed rail will prevent highway widening, airport expansion, and huge amounts of global warming pollution. Since it will be electrically powered, there won't even be emissions along the tracks.

High speed rail will have zero effect on highway widening or pollution because it won't impact local driving, which is what produces 99% of the congestion. And the comment about decreasing the need for airport expansion is laughable given that flights between the two metropolitan areas constitute only a tiny percentage of all air travel.
High speed rail will destroy the character of the mid-peninsula and cause housing values to plummet. "Phineas," I assume your "other community" is one that will not be affected by this devastation. Although this may be a worthwhile project (I don't agree, but that is a topic for another discussion) it is not one that should be placed in the middle of a densely inhabited urban area.
Morris, I recommend you post this on the Palo Alto TownSquare, where the discussion might get some traction.

More about the "door knockers." Here is an excerpt from a document from CALPIRG, which has been sending college students on a mission of converting the heathen to love and vote for the California High-Speed Train.
Explaining the Trend, Assessing the Facts, and Protecting the Public
Calpirg Education Fund
Written by Phineas Baxandall, Ph.D.
Senior Analyst for Tax and Budget Policy
December, 2007
They are describing the evils of highway privatization. And, I certainly agree with many of their premises.
Below they list seven ways to prevent the problems of privatization. What I want to know from CALPIRG is why they are such passionate advocates of the high-speed train, when these principles, which they espouse, are not in effect for this particular train project. To drag in a cliche here: What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
CALPIRG makes "Standing up to Powerful Interests" it's centerpiece mission.
Why isn't it standing up to the CHSRA or Parsons Brinckerhoff?
While it is true that the HST is not intended as a private enterprise, it is intended, according to the Governor, to be a public-private partnership. Does that mean that the State government will have to support the train's operation and maintenance? The authority says no. But, how do we know? Without clear "public control, complete transparency, full accountability" -- all now absent in the train bond issue -- we are headed for the same disaster that CALPIRG says it opposes in highway privatization which, by the way, I also oppose.
"Basic public interest principles can protect
against bad privatization deals. The
following seven guidelines can help public
officials spot a lemon of a privatization deal,
one that does not adhere to the following
• Public control retained over decisions
about transportation planning and
management without financial penalties;
• Fair value guaranteed so future toll
revenues won't be sold off at a discount.
Any upfront payment must exceed
what a public entity could deliver,
and windfall revenues must be shared
if future traffic exceeds projections;
• No deal longer than 30 years because
of uncertainty over future conditions
and because the risks of a bad
deal grow exponentially over time;
• State-of-the-art maintenance and
safety standards instead of statewide
• Complete transparency to ensure
proper process;
• Full accountability in which the
Legislature must approve the terms
of a final deal, not just approve that a
deal be negotiated; and
• No budget gimmicks because a
deal must make long-term budgetary
sense, not just help in the short term.
Transparency and accountability will
force public officials to face difficult questions."

Family: Fregatidae, Frigatebirds view all from this family
Description ADULT MALE Mostly all-dark, but purple sheen is seen in good light. Bright red throat sac is inflated in display. ADULT FEMALE Lacks male's throat sac and has white on belly. JUVENILE Mainly dark, but note the white head, neck, and belly patch, and brown upper wing coverts.
Dimensions Length: 38-40" (97-102 cm)Wngspn: 7' 6" (2.3 m)
Habitat Breeds on the Dry Tortuga islands, Florida; outside the protracted breeding season, wanders and mainly pelagic, or coastal around Caribbean islands, but also visits the Gulf coast.
Observation Tips Usually easy to see on the Florida Keys throughout the year.
Range Florida, Southwest, Southeast, Texas, California
Voice Mainly silent.
Discussion Huge and unmistakable seabird with something of a prehistoric look about it. Has extremely long, pointed, and angular-looking wings, long and deeply forked tail, and long, hook-tipped bill. Aerial mastery is aided by excellent weight:wing area ratio (its feathers weigh more than its bones). Soars and glides effortlessly but capable of amazing speed and agility when in pursuit of food (it picks fish from the surface of the sea) or when parasitizing other feeding birds (forces them to regurgitate or drop their last meal). Breeds colonially in trees, notably coastal mangroves; nest is a stick platform. Sexes are dissimilar.

Ride With Us Bus exceeds goal, still forced to cut two days
In 2011, Pine River's Ride With Us Bus was facing a dilemma. Increase ridership or face cuts in the budget.
On that point there's good news, then there's bad news.
For Pine River's only public transit, 2012 was a good year. In January of last year the Pine River Journal reported that the service experienced its highest ridership month on record.
That was just the beginning. Valarie Kuschel, transit administrator, said the dial-a-ride service ridership increased 11 percent in 2012 alone.
"That is 1,000 more riders, so that is great for a service our size," Kuschel said.
For 2012, Kuschel had set a goal of 35 riders per day, but instead got an average of 37 riders per day. Kuschel said the increase was likely due to word of mouth.
"People are learning about it more, and it's out there. People are talking about it. I just think word spread," she said.
This increase is one that is noticed, especially by bus driver Curt Peterson.
"When I took this over 13 years ago, if I had 20-25 a day I had a busy day. Now if I have 25 riders a day it's a slow day," Peterson said. "I'd like to see us have 50-70 a day. So the ridership has increased over the years. I've tried to push different things. People have found out how convenient it is, and I guess they like the way they're treated."
Joyce Vaseka, a rider since 2004, agreed. "I think it's excellent. Curt is an excellent driver and he's very helpful to us."
Though the service had approximately 777 riders per month in 2012, the state of Minnesota demanded an increase from roughly 621 riders a month to 1,000 per month. Because of this the funding they depend on was cut from $71,600 to $63,000, a cut that necessitated changes.
As of the first of the year what was once a five-day service now only runs Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.
Thanks to this two-day cut, Peterson's hours have also been cut drastically from 40 hours to 24 per week, but to him that's not the biggest issue.
"The biggest change is the hardship. The people don't like it. Some of the businesses didn't like it because they had to change their schedules around and such," Peterson said. "I'd like to see it get back to normal."
Due to the recent cut in hours, Tuesday, Jan. 8, was a very busy day. The bus was booked full all day long, and if business continues this way passengers might actually be turned down for lack of space on the bus. This is one of the hardships Peterson would rather just avoid.
Though the bus' future is uncertain, many people still find it important. Rides with the bus cost only $1 each way within city limits, and even if a rider took the bus twice a day for five days a week (in the past) they would only be spending $160 a month for travel. Between gas, payments, insurance, tabs and maintenance, as Peterson explained, you couldn't own a car for that price.
Kuschel said this is why it is such a valuable service.
"It is very important to the area because we serve a number of elderly people who are either no longer comfortable driving or they just find it to be a lot of hassle," she said. "Our citizens of Pine River really appreciate that and need that service. A lot of the people that we service don't have those kinds of funds to pay."
"I don't have a car, so the bus is real important to me. I don't want them to take it away," Vaseka said. "I'd have to pay someone to take me grocery shopping or to my hair appointments."
Vaseka rides the bus once a week for a hair appointment, twice if she needs groceries. But when she does get groceries she is one of many riders whose ride is often paid for. That is because the Ride With Us Bus has traditionally benefitted from a lot of support from the Pine River City Council and local businesses.
The Pine River Family Market pays bus fares for passengers shopping there on Tuesdays. Similarly, the Riverside Villas pays for its residents' rides to the grocery store on Thursdays.
In spite of the cuts, Kuschel has seen the ridership increase in the past, and she hopes to see even more this year. The Ride With Us Bus currently serves the city of Pine River, and those within 3 miles of the official city limits, but that might not always be the case. Kuschel has been looking into ways to increase accessibility for the bus.
"Brainerd currently has one bus that comes to Jenkins every morning, I do believe," she said. "Kind of an easy shoe-in for us would be just to take a couple runs every so often to Jenkins. Instead of driving all the way to Brainerd, we would just connect with the Jenkins link."
That's not all; Kuschel has received occasional requests from Backus residents looking for expansion of the service to the north. The possibility is not out of the question, but it would require research and demand before any real decisions could be made.
Regardless of what happens next, Kuschel recognizes that the Ride With Us Bus cannot survive on its own. She explained that it is important that residents and customers alike communicate with them either by visiting city council meetings and calling or visiting city hall.
"We run solely on our customers, and if our customers don't talk then we go away," Kuschel said.

BarCamp Orlando Spring 2010
April 3rd was my first BarCamp Orlando – a free event run by the community and for the community. These occur throughout north America. Anyone can give a presentation on anything, but often they are about technology, publishing content, or social media. Due to sponsors, the event came with a free t-shirt and hot lunch (which was a great pasta buffet). You are asked to contribute in some way, helping with presentations or cleanup are obvious ways.
It was held in downtown Orlando, near the public library, at Slingapour's, One Eyed Jacks, and Gibson Guitar Center.
I attended the following sessions:
The GoWalla API
- A brief overview of the GoWalla API calls, which are limited to read-only access to the location based service.
- Discussed the doctype, HTML differences, new audio and video tags, etc.
Singularity U
- Conducted by a friend of mine, BJ Price, this session discussed the experience of being selected to attend this unique learning opportunity.
New Media Discussion
Free forum discussion about new media and news & video publishing.
Video without Cameras
- Discussed xtranormal – a web site that allows you to easily map text to animated characters and their vocal recitation.
You can relive the experience through the hastag'ed Twitter posts.

Dance students present 'Intent' at Berlind
Posted November 23, 2009; 06:08 p.m.
The Lewis Center for the Arts will present "Intent," a creative thesis production comprising choreography and performance by 10 certificate students in the Program in Dance, at 8 p.m. Friday, Dec. 4, and 2 and 8 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 5, in the Berlind Theatre.
Concluding an intensive program of modern technique and composition courses as well as performance in the annual Spring Dance Festival, the creative thesis is an optional endeavor for students in the dance program.
The choreography of six certificate students will be joined by the work of New York-based choreographer Mark Morris. Princeton faculty member Tina Fehlandt, a founding member of the Mark Morris Dance Group, coached the certificate students in "Stampede," an excerpt from Morris' 1993 work "Grand Duo." Fehlandt performed "Grand Duo," an energetic piece set to an elaborate score by American modernist Lou Harrison, from its premiere until her retirement from the company in 2000. " It has been an incredible experience to share an excerpt of this great dance with my wonderful students," said Fehlandt, a lecturer in dance.
A member of the faculty since 2007, Fehlandt noted, "When the seniors first approached me about staging a Mark Morris work for the thesis concert I thought long and hard about what would be appropriate and exciting. I wanted to celebrate both their individuality and the collective journey they had taken together through their years in Princeton's dance program. Mark's 'Grand Duo' immediately sprang to mind. Indeed, much of his choreography is exactly this: Unique people dancing together and the power of that ritual to create a sense of community and belonging." But, she emphasized, the distinctiveness of "Grande Duo" lies in that " it never failed to leave me exhilarated and flushed with the sense of being in the right place at the right time with the right people."
Tickets for "Intent" are $10 for students and seniors and $15 for the general public. They are available through University Ticketing at (609) 258-9220 or the Berlind box office at (609) 258-2787.
More information about the performance is available on the Lewis Center website.

Shares of Apple (AAPL) today closed down $18.55, or almost 3.6%, at $501.75, after slipping as low as $498.51 at one point, following reports yesterday the company has cut component orders for the iPhone 5 amidst weaker-than-expected demand for the device.
The Wall Street Journal's Juro Osawa late yesterday reported that orders of screens for the iPhone 5 "for the January-March quarter, for example, have dropped to roughly half of what the company had previously planned to order," citing multiple unnamed sources.
There was also a report in Japan's Nikkei News Service, which specifically mentioned Japan Display, LG Display (LPL), and Sharp reducing supply of LCD panels for the phone "significantly," according to a summary provided by TheFlyontheWall. (Nikkei requires a subscription to read articles.)
The cuts, if true, and if they have anything to do with production, would appear to affect the fiscal Q2 ending in March, versus the fiscal Q1 that ended last month.
The bulls are out in force this morning, with many declaring the report "old news" following a spate of rumors in December arguing demand was off and orders were being cut.
UBS's Steve Milunovich this morning reiterates a Buy rating and a $700 price target, writing that "The article says Apple notified suppliers of the cut last month, which is when we and most of the Street reported it."
"Consequently, it appears this is old news—our analysts indicate no changes since."
Milunovich still expects iPhone units of 45 million last quarter, 41 million this quarter, 36 million in the June quarter, and 33 million in the September quarter. His total for the iPhone 5, specifically, is 25 million to 30 million this quarter, and about 3 million to 5 million of the iPhone 4 and 4S models, combined.
J.P. Morgan's Mark Moskowitz likewise reiterates an Overweight rating and a $770 price target, writing that "In our view, this is just more noise around the supply chain as the order cuts have been discussed in media reports over the last few weeks and a topic we had discussed previously on December 19."
Moskowitz reiterates an expectation for 48 million iPhones having been sold last quarter, and 45 million this quarter, adding "Even if we assume that Apple has cut iPhone 5 orders in half from the 65M that the Nikkei reported, it implies upside to our current estimates."
Moskowitz goes so far as to write that order cuts may be a result of improving supply:
We believe the bigger message related to any potential order cuts could be that iPhone 5
manufacturing yields and thereby gross margin are on the rebound. In our view, the potential order cuts are a direct result of manufacturing yields improving following the fast-and-furious product roll-outs of the iPhone 5 as well as new iPads and Macs. We had written previously that Apple had to absorb cost overage (due to poor yields) in the building of iPhone 5 and iPad mini. In our view, recent order cuts could suggest that the manufacturing yields are improving on the iPhone 5, and as a result, this could be another reason that Apple pulled back on excess orders of certain components.

Personal computer makers Dell (DELL) and Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) may be set for an even tougher year than previously expected, research firm IDC predicts this afternoon, as the analysts cut their growth estimate for personal computer shipments in 2013 from a prior projection of 2.8% growth to a drop of 1.3%, to 345.8 million units, citing the rise of tablet computers and an "underwhelming reception to Windows 8," the latest version of Microsoft's (MSFT) operating system, which went on sale October 26th.
Although tablets are not "functional competitors" to PCs, nevertheless, "they are winning consumer dollars with mobility and consumer appeal," says IDC analyst Loren Loverde.
The lack of touchscreen components has hampered the roll-out of Windows 8, the firm says, and hurt "ultrabook" laptop computers.
Also, emerging-market growth, which had been a boost for PCs, is slowing,
Furthermore, emerging market growth potential is declining and coming closer to that of mature regions. 2012 marked the first year that emerging markets have seen a volume decline, and while 2013 will return to growth, it is projected at less than 1% and with modest, single-digit growth through 2017. For mature regions, 2013 will mark the third consecutive year of volume declines. IDC continues to expect limited growth in 2014 and 2015 with contracting volume in later years.
Loverde & Co. think that PCs might have some chance of improvement in the latter half of this year as a consequence of "larger acceptance of Windows 8," in part because of the end of official Microsoft support for Windows XP.
Microsoft (MSFT) shares today are up 12 cents, or 0.4%, at $28.07.

Junior 2.2 wetsuit from Ron Jon features exlusive super soft and flexible neoprene for comfort and superior fit.
Please note: Wetsuit thickness is screenprinted on the left arm and may vary slightly in design versus the one pictured.
"Thanks Ron Jon. Great suit, love the price. "
"I thought I had one too small but once he put it on it fight right and doesn't let too much water in.
The seams are comfortable and as the previous review stated he can pull the zipper cord to zip it up by himself which makes him feel like one of the older kids.
It is quite a stretchy suit as noted in the description.
I am happy with my purchase."
"Well made wetsuit, only had to replace size wise, the first one I bought still looks like new and it was worn many, many times. Easy on and off thanks to the deep zipper and of course the pull cord makes it easy for my son to do by himself."

This place will be very hot in 6 monthes with eyes from all over the world focusing on the 2010 Winter Olympics that will be taking place here. Interestingly, Whistler was offered the 1976 Winter Olympics after selected host Denver declined the games due to funding issues. Whistler declined as well, due to the lack of enthusiastic about the Olympics. Well, that was 33 years ago.
Actually, City of Vancouver will be the co-hosts with Whistler for the 2010 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games with Whistler as the Host Mountain Resort.
Whistler will host the alpine technical and speed events, the sliding events, the Nordic events in nearby Callaghan Valley and all the Paralympic events except the opening ceremonies, sledge hockey and wheelchair curling.
It will take about 2 hrs to drive from Vancouver to Whistler along the beautiful breathtaking view roads - blue bays, green lakes, and white snow mountains (Summer only, of cause). Here are some example views: gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=27900 and gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=27942

Off course...Drop an INT and then roughed the punter...Idiots.
Off course...Drop an INT and then roughed the punter...Idiots.
we had our chance with the first drive...once that happened, i figured it would be a long night...had we scored on that 1st play like we shouldve, i think we have a shot to win...now...not so much...
Trust in Tanny
Can't catch. Can't cover anybody. Not even sure why we came off the bus for this. Maybe if we're lucky they'll leave OHNOfrio and Wieclaw in Chicago.
this defense is atrocious, i dont care how many young kids we are playing...ND has a stagnant offense and they are picking up yardage on every play...i dont think they've had even ONE negative play...D-Coordinator has to go...its clear this team can barely beat mediocre clubs and cant even be on the field with a top-25 squad...
Even if we got that 1st drive, our defense is so ****ing bad.
Definitely not enough talent up front on defense . . . but we knew this defense wasn't stellar going in. Miami can't afford the 6 or 7 drops for big plays that they have had tonight. You aren't winning games like that with this team the way it is.
It's a shame too, because the oline is having a pretty solid game. This could have been a pretty good game if we caught the ****ing ball.
What a farce
We're going to get steamrolled by Florida State
Morris goes thru stretches where he throws the ball low . . . but he certainly has a lively arm. I hope Canes fans aren't too disappointed with this result . . . the goal for this team is to play for the ACC title this year and they still can do that.
Fire Donofrio!
This pretty much confirms what I already knew. OhNofrio is the worst DC in the history of the sport. I have never seen a worse scheme at any level. If Golden doesn't fire this schmuck Golden can hit the road himself because that scheme is an embarrassment. Can't even see the CB's on the TV because they're 50 yards off the WR. **** that guy.
As for being disappointed, meh. I'm used to this by now. This team was supposed to finish with a losing record though according to pretty much every so called expert, so winning the ACC, which they've never done, is still the most important thing for this team.

Binghamton UniversityBinghamton University hosts "MuscleBound"
Binghamton University's Eating Awareness Committee will present "MuscleBound," a multimedia performance which explores male body image disorders, at 7 p.m. Thursday, March 1, in the Mandela Room of the University Union.
Written and performed by Michael Feldman, "MuscleBound" sheds light on the increasing number of men with eating disorders and distorted body image. The performance, which is free and open to the public, will include a 90-minute one-man show, film documentary and panel discussion.
Feldman portrays three men, each tired of their own appearance, who decide to alter their bodies in different and destructive ways. The performance deals with issues such as male anorexia, bulimia, steroid abuse and muscle dysmorphia.
The program is sponsored by the Eating Awareness Committee, the Binghamton University Faculty Masters and Sodexho Campus Services at Binghamton University. For more information call 607-777-2821.

In "Decision Time," Editor Brian Lovett will share a scenario from his 20-plus years hunting turkeys. Each hinges on a critical decision. Post what choice you would have made, and then see how things actually turned out.
Tussle With Russell
It was my first turkey hunting trip to Missouri, and I was fired up. So was Russell, the farmer on whose land we'd hunt.
And Russell liked to talk.
And talk.
And ... well, you get the idea.
Anyway, by the time my buddy and I got Russell out of the barnyard and into the woods, it was past fly-down time, and a 25-mph wind had kicked up. We yelped a few times and heard nothing. Well, nothing but the howling wind, at least.
Having nothing better to do, we set two decoys on an open knob in some sparse timber and cold-called for a bit. After one sequence, Russell said he'd heard a gobble. I was skeptical, but when I looked up to see two longbeards sprinting toward us, my opinion changed.
Before we could react, the birds were within 25 steps, bee-lining right at the decoys. And with nothing but air between my gun barrel and the twin softball heads, I probably couldn't blink without getting busted. However, the birds certainly wouldn't hang around long.
Crap! Should I try to mount my gun quickly, assuredly spooking the birds in the process? Or was there a chance I could remain still and wait for an opportune moment to move? I had about one second to choose.
What would you have done? Post your decision below.

Sometimes, history can reveal itself as having a rough face - the sort which no amount of post-mortem polishing can ever quite smooth out. When confronted with a truly gruesome historical visage, the inclination of many people is to avert their gaze, in the hope something unseen becomes unknown, and then eventually forgotten.
But such history tends not to remain concealed permanently, no matter how unpleasant its appearance. So when parts of an interview I gave for TV3's 3rd Degree programme were broadcast this week, I was deluged with email and calls from incredulous viewers, most challenging my statements about the degree of suffering that Tuhoe experienced at the hands of the Crown from the 1860s. And quite rightly, too.
Despite the magisterial research of the late Judith Binney into Tuhoe's history, and indeed my own more modest ventures detailing aspects of its past, I suspect most people remain oblivious to the full horror of some of the events that unfolded there - horrors perpetrated by New Zealanders against New Zealanders.
If anything, my observations on 3rd Degree retreated slightly from disclosing the full abhorrence of this period in our not-too-distant history. From 1869 to 1871, the Crown carried out what became known as the "scorched earth policy", in which Tuhoe were held in the incendiary grip of rapacious Crown tactics. The designation "scorched earth" was a reference to the Crown's policy of setting fire to houses, livestock, and corn, while crops such as potatoes and kumara, which could not be burnt, were dug up by Crown troops so that they would be exposed to the frosts and die.
The starvation of the Tuhoe that followed swiftly from the systematic destruction of crops and livestock, the looting of anything troops could carry away, the burning of homes, and the confiscation of land, went unchecked by the Crown, which in effect had turned on a group of its own citizens with the intention of annihilating their presence in certain regions.
Starvation was not a side-effect of the wars of the era. Rather, it had become one of the Crown's weapons of choice. This was even when most of the Tuhoe population had been so pummelled into submission that they offered practically no resistance to Crown incursions.
The result was a people ethnically cleansed from many of their traditional territories and facing being wiped out altogether. But what do you do when you are caught in the middle of such hellish circumstances? One answer is contained in the poignant accounts that have survived of some elderly Maori from the affected areas. As they were among the most vulnerable to starvation, many would walk off to a chilly, damp crag to die, so as not to burden the rest of whanau or hapu. Well into the 20th century, farmers clearing scrub would occasionally come across the skeletal remains of these people - a mute testament to the Crown's earlier savagery.
Yet, this history has slipped from view, and so understandably, there are howls of bewilderment when it resurfaces, unannounced, like someone rude intrusion on our cosy perceptions of the past. There are also doubts even as to the veracity of such accounts. "Surely", people reason, "if it was so terrible, we would have been told about it?"
How do we account for this selective ignorance of our past? Jabbing the finger of blame at the education system for this and other blind spots in our historical vision is the reflex reaction, but in this case, it also happens to be fully justified. Most probably this appeal will be dismissed as anachronistic in modern New Zealand schooling.
Edward Gibbon's misanthropic assertion that history is "little more than the register of the crimes, follies and misfortunes of mankind", seems to have been displaced in our present schooling system by an inverse formulation, in which history has become little more than an inventory of anecdotes and social cant, compartmentalised for ease of assessment, and sanitised lest anyone be offended. At the very least, we owe it to the victims of history - our own ones especially - to do so much more.
Paul Moon is a professor of history at AUT University and the author of several books on New Zealand history.

Toxic synovitis is a condition affecting children that causes hip pain and limping.
Synovitis - toxic; Transient synovitis
Toxic synovitis occurs in children before puberty begins. It is a type of arthritis of the hip. Its cause is not known, but boys are affected more often than girls (approximately 4 to 1).
Symptoms may include:
Aside from the hip discomfort, the child does not usually appear ill.
Toxic synovitis is diagnosed when other, more serious conditions have been ruled out, such as:
Tests used to diagnose toxic synovitis include:
Other tests that may be done to rule out other causes of hip pain:
Treatment often includes limiting activity to make the child more comfortable. However, there is no danger with performing normal activities. The health care provider may prescribe nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDS) to reduce pain.
The hip pain goes away within 7 - 10 days.
Toxic synovitis goes away on its own. There are no expected long-term complications.
Call for an appointment with your child's health care provider if:

Minimally invasive esophagectomy is surgery to remove part or all of the esophagus This is the tube that moves food from your throat to your stomach. After it is removed, the esophagus is rebuilt from part of your stomach or part of your large intestine.

Your surgeon will do the surgery while operating a computer and watching the monitor. The surgeon controls the instruments and camera with a computer program.
These surgeries usually take 3 to 6 hours.
The most common reason for removing part, or all, of your esophagus is to treat cancer. You may also have radiation therapy or chemotherapy before or after surgery.
Surgery to remove the lower part of your esophagus may also be done to treat:

News Releases, Media Advisories
WASHINGTON The Federal Election Commission is requesting public comments on proposed changes to its rules governing publicly financed Presidential primary and general election candidates.
These regulations implement the provisions of the Presidential Election Campaign Fund Act and the Presidential Primary Matching Payment Account Act, which establish eligibility requirements for Presidential candidates seeking public financing, and indicate how funds received under the public financing system may be spent. They also require the Commission to audit publicly financed campaigns and seek repayment where appropriate.
On December 12, 1998, the Commission approved on a 6-0 vote a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPR) that would address many of the sections in the current regulations, including:
Coordination between publicly funded Presidential candidates and their political parties;
"bright line" distinction between primary and general election expenses;
winding down costs
compliance and fundraising costs;
modifying the audit and repayment processes;
statutory authority to order repayments of matching funds based on violations of the primary spending limits;
capital assets;
transportation and services provided to the media;
matching-fund and disbursement documentation;
pre-nomination Vice Presidential committees;
nominating conventions and host committees.
Complete text within these topics and others in the proposed rulemaking was published in the Federal Register on December 16, 1998.
No final decisions have been reached by the Commission on any of the proposed revisions in the proposed rulemaking.
Comments should be addressed to Ms. Susan E. Propper, Assistant General Counsel, Federal Election Commission, 999 E St. NW, Washington, DC 20463, and must be submitted in either written or electronic form. Faxed comments should be sent to (202) 219-3923, with printed copy follow-up. Electronic mail comments should be sent to email@example.com, and should include the full name and postal service address within the text of the comments.
Comments must be received on or before January 29, 1999.

Rafalca is the name of Ann Romney's show horse, which competed in Olympic dressage this week. Rafalca Derangement Syndrome is the name of a debilitating partisan disease, which is raging among snotty "progressives" posing as populists.
On Thursday, the George Soros-funded henchmen of MoveOn promoted a new TV ad that "features a talking Rafalca Romney, who tells us Mitt would treat many Americans worse than a horse!"
Interspersed with scenes of a dressage competition, the talking Rafalca mimics a faux British accent and lashes out at the Romneys' privately earned wealth:

What Every Attorney Needs to Know about Escrow Accounts, IOLA, and Ethics
Handling attorney trust accounts is a large part of the practice of law in New York. Statewide, attorneys maintain over 48,000 IOLA accounts in approximately 200 banking institutions. Every New York lawyer who handles client funds must maintain an IOLA account. Lawyers must use an IOLA account for qualifying funds, unless he or she uses an account that will generate compute and pay net interest to the client (net of all bank fees and the lawyer's or law-firms related services). A New York lawyer may not place qualifying funds in a non-interest bearing account. For additional information, visit www.iola.org.

Attorney Escrow Accounts 2014| CLE Online, On Demand
The New York State Interest on Lawyer Account Fund ("IOLA") helps low income people in New York State obtain help with civil legal problems affecting their most basic needs, such as food, shelter, jobs and access to health care. The IOLA program is
a partnership of lawyers, banks and community organizations. It produces millions of dollars each year to finance legal aid for low income New Yorkers and improvements in the administration of justice throughout New York State.
Participation in New York's IOLA program is mandatory in two senses. First, every New York lawyer who handles client Funds must maintain an IOLA account. Second, the lawyer must use an IOLA account for qualifying funds, unless he or she uses an account
that will generate compute and pay net interest to the client (net of all bank fees and the lawyer's or law-firms related services). A New York lawyer may not place qualifying funds in a non-interest bearing account. Interest earned on deposits held in
IOLA accounts are remitted directly to the IOLA Fund by participating financial institutions. Further information is available at
Should you enroll?If you are a lawyer who maintains a qualifying client trust account and have not yet opened an interest-bearing IOLA account for making nominal or short-term deposits, you should take steps to do so immediately.
Enrollment takes just two easy steps:Step One:Open an IOLA account with a
participating financial institution. Banks vary widely in terms of the "net yield" (interest rate less service fees) their IOLA accounts pay into the IOLA Fund. See the list of banks with rate and fee information
Step Two: Within 30 days of opening the IOLA account, submit the online
Enrollment Form.

Benefits • Learn how to prepare escrow agreements
• Know how to handle your clients' funds legally and ethically
Due to the fiduciary nature of the attorney-client relationship, an attorney must separate from his own properties and endeavor to keep those funds and other properties belonging to the client.
In re Le Pore, 43 A.D.2d 793 (4th Dep't 1973). (Respondent commingled his client's funds received from the real estate transaction with his own personal funds, drew a check or checks against his account for his use or for other clients,
thereby reducing his bank balance below that required to pay his client, and issued a check to his client when his account had insufficient funds with which to honor it).
This is not merely an aspiration goal; any violation of the rules governing use of a client's property will subject an attorney to discipline even if no actual loss occurred, and to personal liability in the event of loss of funds whether or not the
attorney profited personally in any respect. In re Brown, 180 A.D.2d 150, 586 N.Y.S.2d 565, (N.Y. App. Div. 1st Dep't 1992). (By commingling personal funds with client funds, respondent violated DR9-102(a) and 22 NYCRR §
As a basic protection, all funds of clients paid to a lawyer or law firm must be deposited in one or more identifiable bank accounts within the state of New York or elsewhere with the client's written consent The only funds belonging to the lawyer or
firm that may be deposited in those accounts are funds sufficient to pay bank service charges.
The exceptions to the rule are money advanced for future costs and withdrawal of funds due and owing. However, if there is any dispute, the disputed portion must remain in the separate client account pending resolution of the controversy.

The Daily Startup: MobileSpan Funded as More Employees Bring Devices to Work
Top stories in today's VentureWire:
New startup MobileSpan has raised $2.3 million in funding to help employers get control of the devices that employees bring to work, VentureWire has learned. Co-founded by Nils Bunger, a former entrepreneur in residence at Foundation Capital, along with two former Google engineers, MobileSpan enables employees to access their corporate networks through their iPhones or iPads while protecting corporate information by making sure that it continues to reside on corporate servers. True Ventures led the round with participation from Greylock Partners K9 Ventures, Alchemist Accelerator and several angel investors.
Also in today's VentureWire, River Cities Capital Funds, which backs mature technology and health-care companies outside the Northeast and California, has boosted its fifth fund to $100 million and expects to meet or exceed its $150 million target this year…Solar lease provider Sungevity closed on $40 million in equity and $85 million in financing for its solar projects, proving to a reluctant investor base that there's potential in solar and that the troubles on the manufacturing side lead to opportunities for those who install and finance projects…and BillFloat, a provider of short-term loans for paying bills, has raised $21 million in Series C funding to extend its line-up of consumer lending products.

More entrepreneurs working on their next project are landing at Silicon Valley venture firms as these investors hope to get an early look at startups, The Wall Street Journal says. These entrepreneur-in-residence programs ebb and flow in the VC business but are on the upswing now because of competition for early-stage deals and the significant number of founders who have exited their prior companies at high prices and are looking for their next big thing.
While venture firm General Catalyst Partners scored a coup by hiring VMware's tech chief as a partner in its Palo Alto office, Steve Herrod's departure is a big loss for the company in the opinion of GigaOM's Derrick Harris. Herrod was a key executive in VMware's transition from a server virtualization company to business advocating cloud computing as a way to transform data centers, Harris writes.
One of the leaders of Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, Brook Byers, talks with Xconomy about the recent departure of one of the firm's health-care investors, Risa Stack, for GE and the opportunities Kleiner Perkins sees in the industry.

Replacing one of the world's most successful cars is a hard job but with the new seventh-generation Golf, Volkswagen has managed to get the balance between continuity and change just right.
It's a car in which owners of older Golfs will immediately feel at home, but also one that incorporates a number of important improvements.
At first glance the shape appears a little unadventurous. But look at little more closely and you can see that this Golf is subtly jazzier than its predecessor. The rear quarters, for example, with their sporty raked C-pillars, recall those of the Golf IV, one of the more handsome models in the series.
And under the skin it's all change, because the latest Golf uses Volkswagen's MQB architecture, a system of sub-assemblies shared between cars that is more flexible and scalable than the "platform" concept.
One achievement is a weight saving of about 100kg compared with the sixth-generation model, an example of a trend towards lighter cars that is now gathering pace.
That 100kg seems to be made up of lots of small savings made all over the car, rather than a single big breakthrough: the body is 23kg lighter, for example, the seats up to 7kg and the air-conditioning 2.7kg.
This Golf also incorporates important safety features, chief of which is an interesting multi-collision braking system fitted as standard across the range. Many accident casualties result from a secondary impact and the new system brakes the car to lessen the risks involved.
Optional safety features include adaptive cruise control, city emergency braking, a driver alert system and a lane-keeping assistance system.
The new car's interior is excellent, and promises to become the benchmark for affordable cars in this class. The materials used and the standard of fit and finish wouldn't look out of place in a car from any of the premium brands.
The overall feel of the interior is familiar from past Golfs, but a few subtle changes have been made - the controls are angled slightly more towards the driver and the in-dash equipment has had a revamp with DAB radios, Bluetooth and USB connections.
I drove two versions - the 2-litre 102kw diesel with a six-speed self-shifting DSG transmission, and the 1.4-litre TSI with a manual transmission and ACT cylinder deactivation technology - which were quite different in character.
The diesel was a pleasant, relaxed wafter that didn't really feel like it wanted to be hurried but the 1.4 TSI was something else. Eager, agile and economical (4.79l/100km in the combined cycle test) this petrol Golf edges towards the top of the class for driving enjoyment.
If I had a quibble, it was with the driver profile selection system that will be fitted to most British cars, which allows a driver to choose between eco, sport, normal and individual - each with a given combination of settings for engine mapping and other parameters.
On the basis of fairly brief acquaintance, "normal" seemed to be so well judged that there didn't appear to be much point in bothering with the other modes; "individual" allows the driver to tinker with each of the system's parameters individually but I can't imagine even the geekiest test engineer or the most fussy of test drivers making full and frequent use of it; . "eco" influences the engine settings, air-conditioning and other systems in the interests of fuel economy, so may prove worthwhile in the long run.
The new Golf seems sure to be another hit. The first cars will reach NZ customers midway through next year.

Despite its relatively small size, Ecuador has nearly twice as many birds as the continental United States. The country also harbors more plant species than all of North America. Although protected areas cover more than 18% of the country, they don't provide sufficient protection for all of Ecuador's biological richness.

Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average and Standard & Poor's 500 index are up a fraction this morning, ahead of Friday's opening bell.
MarketWatch spots an interesting Goldman Sachs note, which puts the yen's move in context for U.S. stocks:
In a Goldman Sachs note dated May 9, a team of analysts led by Amanda Sneider said U.S. stocks with high sales exposure to Japan have lagged the broader market year-to-date and suffered downward revisions to earnings estimates.
"Bank of Japan policy has weakened the yen, creating headwinds for these companies, but may ultimately stimulate Japanese economic growth," said Sneider. The note went further to say that stocks with high domestic sales continue to outperform for U.S. markets.
Leading the S&P are shares of Gap (GPS), up 4% after the retailer pre-announced better-than-expected quarterly earnings and reported sales increases for April.
The Wall Street Journal reported this morning that Walt Disney (DIS) unit ESPN has had early talks with wireless carriers about somehow paying for the extra data its mobile users chew up in what would be a unique deal:
Under one potential scenario, the company would pay a carrier to guarantee that people viewing ESPN mobile content wouldn't have that usage counted toward their monthly data caps.
No such arrangement is imminent, and ESPN isn't sure if the economics will work out, the people familiar with the matter said. There are also concerns that deals of this nature could attract the scrutiny of telecom regulators.
More than anything I think the fact that such discussions have even happened speaks to just how profitable ESPN is for Disney.

Low gas prices may not coax holiday travelersNovember 21, 2013 12:26 AM
If you're hitting the road for Thanksgiving next week, you might have a little more money to spend on stuffing.
Average Pittsburgh-area gasoline prices have dropped 38 cents since the beginning of September to an average of $3.31 per gallon of regular, 33 cents cheaper than Thanksgiving last year. It's the least expensive that gas has been over Thanksgiving since 2010 when Pittsburgh-area drivers were paying less than $3 per gallon.
Several factors have driven down the price of crude oil in the past two months. Domestic production is at a 24-year high, and the Energy Information Administration announced last week that for the first time in 18 years, the United States is producing more oil than it imports.
"A lack of hurricanes this year minimized disruptions from Gulf Coast rigs that produced oil, and it also minimized disruptions from refineries in the gulf," said Patrick DeHaan, senior petroleum analyst at GasBuddy.com, a Minnesota website that tracks prices at more than 140,000 gas stations in North America.
Last year, Superstorm Sandy struck the East Coast at the end of October, keeping oil prices higher than normal through the holidays.
There are political factors at play, as well, as tensions between the United States and oil-producing countries such as Iran and Syria have cooled in recent months.
Jeff Lenard, vice president of strategic industry initiatives at the National Association of Convenience Stores, based in Alexandria, Va., said demand plays a role in the cost of gas. Fuel-efficient vehicles and modified driving habits have allowed Americans to burn less fuel.
Another factor in lowering demand for crude oil is increased production of natural gas in places such as the Marcellus Shale region that includes much of Pennsylvania.
Infrastructure improvements, Mr. Lenard said, have created more stability in the market, as American-made crude oil is more readily available to domestic customers now than it was just a couple years ago.
But the low gas prices aren't expected to coax more drivers than usual to travel this Thanksgiving.
AAA, the nonprofit travel association headquartered in Heathrow, Fla., estimates 43.4 million Americans will travel 50 or more miles next week for Thanksgiving, a 1.5 percent decrease from 2012 when 44 million traveled during the holiday. The vast majority of this year's travelers -- 38.9 million -- will travel by car.
The dip in travel reflects trends seen during other holidays this year, as AAA estimates fewer people traveled for Memorial Day and the Fourth of July than in 2012, said Bevi Powell, senior vice president of AAA East Central, based in East Liberty.
Gas prices, she said, rarely impact peoples' plans to travel. Instead, the sluggish economic recovery is forcing people to evaluate their budgets across the board.
"Gas prices are something that people budget for, but they don't determine whether they go or not," Ms. Powell said. "Usually, it's just part of the budget."
Mr. Lenard said short-term changes in prices have had little effect on the amount of gas used and consumed. But it does have an effect on consumer psyche, since falling gas prices traditionally give people more confidence in the economy.
"Does it lead to spending in other channels?" he said. "We know that consumers feel better about the economy when gas prices are dropping. If you need to make sales between Thanksgiving and Christmas, that's good news."
Especially in an economic climate where many analysts are pessimistic about holiday sales.
Drivers should expect relatively low gas prices throughout the holidays, Mr. DeHaan said, though it is possible prices have bottomed out. "I don't see any 30- to 50-cent increases," he said, "but we could see a week or two here where prices go up ever so slightly."
Prices traditionally fall in the winter, when refiners can abandon the costlier summer blend of gasoline, which protects against evaporation. They rise in the springtime as refineries perform maintenance to prepare for their summer blend.
Heating costs are low, too, said Mike Adams, vice president of Adams Petroleum Services in Ohio Township. Though natural gas prices are higher than they were last year, heating oils are down more than 20 cents per gallon from last year, he said.
While analysts might speculate on the short-term future of the price of gas and home-heating costs, Mr. Adams said it is hard to look into the crystal ball.
"This industry is so unpredictable because of so many things," he said. "There's supply and demand and geopolitical issues ... it's just crazy. There's so much that affects the daily life of the American public."

Wolves win in Jackett's first game
East Fife 2, Wolves 3
It was a case of five in Fife tonight as Wolves kicked off life under Kenny Jackett by winning by the odd goal in five at the Bayview Stadium in their first pre-season friendly.
Jackett named pretty much a different side in each half and looked at different formations and personnel as he started a more closer assessment of his squad in a match situation.
Björn Sigurdarson opened the scoring just after the half hour mark before East Fife equalised from a Joe Jackson penalty just before the break.
Wolves were the dominant side after the break with Leigh Griffiths scoring with his first touch three minutes after the restart and Tongo Doumbia converting a Griffiths corner after the hour mark.
East Fife notched a late consolation through Kevin Nade but it was Wolves who were still pushing at full time as they ran out 3-2 winners.
It was just after the quarter of an hour mark that Wolves created the first opening, the lively Bakary Sako being denied by East Fife keeper Michael Andrews.
Matt Doherty was also enjoying a positive influence getting forward from a right midfield position and he too called Andrews into action after a neat control and half volley.
East Fife had also threatened on several occasions but it was Wolves who broke the deadlock thanks to another break down the left from the dangerous Sako.
His deep cross was met by a downward header from Jake Cassidy which was parried by Andrews for Sigurdarson to lash home the rebound from close range.
Wolves were now in full flow and Doherty almost made it two, beating the keeper to Sako's early pullback only to see his effort flash back off the post.
And East Fife took full advantage to draw level shortly before the break, Jackson being clipped inside the box and getting up himself to send Carl Ikeme the wrong way from the spot.
After the raft of half time changes – ten for Wolves in all – it was the visitors who produced a blistering start to the second period with Griffiths finishing off Liam McAlinden's left wing cross with his first touch.
Both frontmen looked in confident mood, with McAlinden almost fashioning a chance for himself with some excellent control and then being denied by Andrews after a well-worked move featuring Griffiths and Anthony Forde.
It was Griffiths' corner which helped Wolves go further in front on 64 minutes, Batth flicking the ball on for Doumbia to convert from close range.
Wolves failed to add to their lead despite several more impressive forays, and had Aaron McCarey showing plenty of courage at the other end in coming for crosses from East Fife's rare ventures forward.
But McCarey had no chance on 78 minutes as his touch failed to prevent Nade's shot from finding the net after the home striker had latched on to a ricochet.
That was to prove the last of the goalmouth action as Wolves ran out 3-2 winners, offering plenty of food for thought for Jackett as he ran the rule over his entire squad.
WOLVES: Ikeme (McCarey 45), Stearman (Margreitter 45), Batth (Elokobi 64), Ricketts (Reckord 45), Doherty (Doumbia 45), Davis (Evans 45), Edwards (Price 45), Elokobi (Foley 45), Sako (Forde 45, Ismail 76), Sigurdarson (Griffiths 45), Cassidy (McAlinden 45).

NPR has those little interstitial music segments here and there. Most of them I've never heard, but when some come from a genre I recognize, they sure can go deep. Today was the craziest though. After an interview with Jimmy Carter, I heard "Run to the Hills" by Iron Maiden as interpreted by a Bluegrass band. Pretty crazy. Thought I would share.
Do you have any cover versions of songs you like that are your favorites?
Or weird cover versions you've heard of stuff you know?

This shield is one of the only objects from the Blue Mountains region, west of Sydney, in the national collection. It came with little accompanying information and was catalogued as 'Gandangara people?' However, on the reverse of the catalogue information are notes speculating the work to be 'probably Dharug people' with a much earlier possible date of 'c. 1800–1833'. Gandangara country is in the northern Blue Mountains region, while Dharug Country is further south, to the east of Sydney on the Great Dividing Range.
'The emphasis in the early collections from the south-east on shields, boomerangs, spears and spearthrowers reflects a general nineteenth-century European interest in weaponry. It also reflects the aesthetics of their forms … It is important to remember that we are not viewing the objects as they originally looked. In many cases the incised patterns were infilled with clays and ochres and the raised surface of the central motifs was painted in the same or contrasting colours … most examples that survive in museum collections have become pigmentless with age and handling.' (Howard Morphy, Aboriginal Art, 1998, pp. 330–332)
