An estimated 15,000 spectators watched the Kenya London Olympic Games trials at the Nyayo National stadium on Saturday. Fans started streaming into the venue as early as 8am for the event dubbed the "Mini Olympics" and the most eagerly awaited athletics event in the country. A star studded cast of Olympic, world and Africa champions were on on parade with only 32 tickets up for grabs to those hoping to represent the country at the London Olympics next month. The fans were not disappointed.
The performances were electric. Kenyans of all walks of life were left marveling by what has dominated global sporting media manifesting itself before their very own eyes. KenyaVice President Kalonzo Musyoka, the chief guest, arrived at the venue at 11pm to witness the spectacular event accompanied by Sports and Youth affairs minister Paul Otuoma.
Undoubtedly the highlight of the day belonged to world 3,000m steeplechase champion Ezekiel Kemboi who after finishing his race repeated his World Championship jig culminating in a Usain Boltesque bow and arrow pose. This was what the crowds clearly wanted to see. The rapturous roar from the crowd was confirmation enough.
Kemboi waved to the crowds which had risen to its feet in salute of this man who combines performance and showbiz so effortlessly. World 800m champion and record holder David Rudisha went back to his roots showing up in Maasai moran finery, to raise the cheers after a superb win in the two lap event. This was such a performance that even the Vice President could not resist getting on his feet to applaud the 2010 IAAF "Athlete of the Year".
International press corps and athletes representatives were present at the event, keeping an eye on their athletes while hoping to sign-up the rising talent in Kenyan athletics. Security was tight with administration and regular police with metal detectors frisking all spectators going into the venue.
The Kenya Prisons brass band almost outdid itself in offering renditions of some of Kenya's most popular songs. "I know we have a strong team and I know we can do the country proud in London and we will be one of the teams to watch at the Olympics," was how Kalonzo Musyoka greeted the meeting after all had been said and done.

Microarray experiment question..Please...
...help? You are interested in understanding how the brain works, and are using the fruit fly Drosphila as a model system to study brain development. You perform microarray analysis to try to determine genes expressed in the fly brain. For your microarray experiment, you first prepare cDNA from fly brains and label it with a red fluorchrome. Then you isolate cDNA from whole flies and label it with a green fluorchrome. Next you hybridize these cDNA populations to a microarray containing the Drosphila genes. From this, you obtain a list of genes that are specifically enriched in the brain. (those that show up as a red spot on the microarray). You are dissappointed bc your favorite fly gene, tubby, does not appear on this list, even though you have repeated the miroarray experiment 10 times and did not encounter any technical difficulties. The reason you thought tubby would appear on this list is that you believe tubby is important for brain development, since flies mutant in tubby have no brains.
Not to be discouraged, you perform in situ analysis using the tubby DNA as a probe, and see that it is expressed at high levels in the fly brain of normal flies but not expressed in animals lacking the tubby gene. Why do you think tubby did not show up as a gene specifically enriched in the brain in your microarray experiment? (you did the experiment corrrectly)
It would appear that though Tubby is important for brain development, that it is not expressed only in the brain, but in the rest of the fly body as well, and therefore should turn up yellow in the 10 results.
Microarrays in general are not a great tool for specific answers like you are looking for. Multiplex hybs are severely complicated things with an insane number of different kinetic reactions between all the target strands and all the probe strands. That said, there could be a ton of reasons why this is happening.
1. It really is happening but the microarray isn't detecting it. This could be due to the sample prep, missing the tissue of interest, or the MA just being annotated wrong. It may be that the gene you think is in that spot is something else completely. Check to see if the contents of the spot have been sequence verified.
2. There could be a dye labeling bias. You are probably using Cy3 and Cy5 as your fluorophores. If you are using direct incorporation of dye-fluor conjugates, this could be a factor. Cy5 doesn't incorporate as well due to it's larger size.
3. You mention tubby being vital to development. Try taking samples from embryos or other timepoints you think relevant.
4. tubby may not be involved in neural tissue development. Perhaps it is dealing with formation of other structures in the head.
5. The mutant gene may not hyb well to the probe on the chip due to mismatches.
6. Try the experiment versus wild type. The control can make a huge difference as a common reference. Remember, MA's are just relative measures, not absolute!
7. Are the whole fly samples from flies with no brains? Maybe the absense of tubby in the flies with no brains is what you are looking for!
I could probably come up with a few more reasons, but you get the point. It's been a while since I have taken Genetics but if this is a homework or test quesiton, you are probably better equipped to deal with the actual genetics of the problem. :-P
Re: Microarray experiment question..Please...
What is resequencing chips ?
Can it be a replacement to microarrays?

Catalog of Oceanographic Equipment Contained in the Collection of the Museum of Oceanography of Monaco. 3. "Biological sampling apparatus" by Christian Christian Carpine. Bulletin de l'Institute Oceanographique, Vol. 74, No. 1438. 1991.
Plate I. A Richard vertical net after return to the surface in 1908.
Figure 1. A Cori net, devised by the Austrian Carl Cori at the Trieste zoological station in 1899. This net was used for a variety of studies , primarily depending on the size of the mesh of the net. This net was first tested in the Adriatic near Trieste.
Figure 2. A large Cori bathypelagic net. Left: view of the net. Right: the biologic sample recovery unit. This unit was designed and built about the same time as the preceding net.
Figure 3. Petersen's net for young fish devised by C. G. Johan Petersen in 1902. Left: view of the net. Right: view of the connectors. This net was designed to capture the young of commercial species for further study. It was tested about 1902 at the Small Belt on board the SALLINGSUND, the ship of the Danish biological station
Figure 4. Biological sample recovery unit for use with Cepede net. Invented by Casimir Cepede at the Wimereux zoological station in 1907. The first test of this instrument was probably near Wimereux (in the vicinity of Dunkirk) at about the time of its invention.
Figure 5. The large Bouree bathypelagic net invented by Henry Bouree and used on the PRINCESS ALICE II in 1910. This vertical sampling net was tested in 1910 between the depths of 0 and 4900 meters off the coast of Spain. It was meant to capture pelagic animals from the greatest depths of the sea.
Figure 6. De Guerne bucket biologic sample recovery unit devised by Baron Jules De Guerne about 1893. a collaborator with Prince Albert I of Monaco. Use of this instrument depended on which type of net was used and how long the tow. It is almost certain that this instrument existed in this form by 1893.
Figure 7. Isaacs-Kidd trawling net for intermediate depths. Devised by John D. Isaacs and Lewis W. Kidd from Scripps Institution of Oceanography in 1950. above shows the net at the point of immersion. This net was meant to capture very large animals of very great speed. This net was successfully tested at more than 1000 meters water depth off California in 1950.
Figure 7 (continued.) Plan of the original model of the Isaacs-Kidd trawling net.
Figure 8. Plan of the original model of the WP3 trawling net as recommended by working group Number 3 of the Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research in 1966. This net was meant to capture large plankton. It was afterwards tested by several laboratories and found to have many shortcomings such as inefficienci es in capturing fish larvae and in the opening of its mouth.
Figure 9. Cone for use with Hensen conical net. Invented by Victor Hensen of the University of Kiel in about 1883. He called this invention " Korbnetz." In 1901 he described an improved version that contained a tin-plate envelope. Between these dates, an intermediate form of this net and cone was used in the course of the Plankton Expedition of 1889.
Figure 10. Cylinder for use with Hensen cylindrical surface-towed net at about the same time as the cone mentioned previously. This net, for qualitative collecting
Figure 11. Meter for use with Buchet plankton net, devised by Gaston Buchet in 1892. Left: front view. Right: side view. This instrument was designed to capture pelagic animals while being towed at a relatively high rate of speed. It was tested off Iceland in 1892 and also used in a number of expeditions of Prince Albert I of Monaco.
Figure 12. Borgert net devised by Dr. Adolph Borgert of Hamburg in 1893. Having found the Hensen and Buchet nets too heavy, too complicated, and difficult to manage, and too expensive, Dr. Borgert designed this net for collecting plankton at the surface at high speed. This net was first tested from the steamer BARCELONA between Hamburg and the western Mediterranean.
Figure 13. Richard narrow-ended net. Left: simple model. Right: model with deflector. Invented in 1903 by Doctor Jules Richard, this net combined extreme lightness with ease of making as well as a great facility for use by a ship underway. The prototype of this net was constructed on the PRINCESSE-ALICE II. Prince Albert I used this for thousands of plankton sampling tows from 1903 on.
Figure 14. Apstein plankton tube. Above: Top view. Below: bottom view. Invented by Carl Apstein who had been studying lake fauna. Apstein collaborated with Hensen to work in the Baltic and North Seas. Apstein perceived quickly that methods of work would have to vary considerably from lake work and made thi s instrument for collecting small plankton under difficult conditions.
Figure 15. Zacharias ethmophore plankton filter devised by Otto Zacharias in 1907. Top: view of the assembled apparatus. Bottom: internal speed reduction valve. This instrument was devised to collect plankton under adverse meteorolog ical conditions where normal net-towing operations became impossible. This inst rument was first used in a lake, but then in the Mediterranean and Tyrhennian.
Figure 16. Monti net tube devised by Madame Rina Monti of the University of Sassari in Sardinia. Top: the assembled unit. Middle: the internal net. Bottom: series of diaphrams used in the unit.

God paid a great PRICE to rescue us from ourselves and the consequences of our sins. He allowed His Son, Jesus, to suffer punishment and die so we don't have to. Not only that, this death did not defeat Him. After three days, Jesus rose from the dead, alive again!
Now, your response is needed to benefit from this divine rescue:
Romans 10:9-10, 13 (NIV):
9 If you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.
13 for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."
Your response can be as simple as "A-B-C."
Take this step of faith today. Trust in Jesus' sacrifice to pay the penalty required by a Holy God. To do that, simply talk to God – this is called praying – and ask His forgiveness and help to get your life back on track. We suggest a prayer like this:
"Lord Jesus Christ, I admit that I am a sinner and I'm sorry for the things I have done wrong in my life. I believe you died on the cross to set me free from the penalty and power of my sins and then rose from the dead to live forever. Please forgive me, as I turn away from those wrong things to serve you. Please come and take control of my life. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit and be with me forever.
Thank you Lord Jesus, Amen."
If you prayed this prayer, please email us at , so that we can send you some resources for this new relationship with God!

At 12:01 AM this morning the US Government Officially shut down. 800-thousand Federal Employees were told to stay home. Although we're geographically far from the epicenter, the shut down is impacting the North Coast.
If you went to the Samoa Dunes National Recreation Area today, you were met with the gate closed and a sign saying the park was too…due to the Federal shut down. There were no cars in the parking lot. In fact, there was no one anywhere except for two travelers from Santa Cruz on their way home. Gina Giacomini and Danny Fernandez said they were really enjoying the North Coast after a trip to Portland, Oregon. But, they were a little surprised the shut down was affecting them so soon.
"It's funny…to go out for a recreational day use and see something closed…so the Federal Government really does have a lot of control over our daily activities and things we enjoy and love."
Corporations are also being affected. Pacific Builders of Arcata, currently doing the restoration work on Old Town Eureka's Carson Block Building say they are concerned projects they have that are funded through grants from the Federal Government could be compromised. Co-Owner, Tony Lucchesi: "I think it's too soon to say what the direct consequences will be…but if this goes on for long at all…we're going to feel it."
Mark Allen a fisheries Biologist with Thomas Payne and Associates now part of the employee owned Normandeau Associates team already has projects that have been impacted by the shutdown. He's also concerned about colleagues and family.
"I hope it's resolved quickly for our sake and for everyone else's too. I know it's hard…we have other employees who have spouses who work for the government and it could be a financial hardship for sure."
The local Social Security Office was open today. Although they have limited services… help for benefits, appeal requests, changes in address, and other services are available. For more information on any Social Security question go to their web site at: www.socialsecurity.gov

TempFlat MEMS Eliminates Temperature Compensation. Steve Taranovich writes:
SiTime Corporation has introduced the TempFlat MEMS. Until recently, all MEMS oscillators used compensation circuitry to stabilize the output frequency over temperature. This new design eliminates temperature compensation, resulting in higher performance, smaller size, lower power and cost. The basic architecture of a MEMS oscillator combines a MEMS resonator die together with an oscillator IC. As shown on the left side of the diagrams below, SiTime has developed different types of MEMS resonators for different applications needs.

Over the last year and half, we have been working with a group of fabulous volunteers in the Wheaton area, who have helped us spread the word to the community about how to be a safe pedestrian, and how drivers can keep pedestrians safe. We are looking forward to developing a similar volunteer group in our next two target areas for pedestrian safety outreach: Bethesda and Silver Spring. Outreach efforts in these two areas started this past Fall and will continue for the next year.
The County's Pedestrian Safety Initiative uses a three-pronged approach that coordinates Engineering, Education, and Enforcement with the intention of influencing pedestrian and driver behavior. You can learn more about our program by visiting our website: www.montgomerycountymd.gov/walk. As a volunteer, you will work with us to spread the pedestrian safety message. Prior to participating in outreach activities, we will provide a training session to explain the program and the core messages we communicate to the public.
How do you become a pedestrian safety volunteer? Send an e-mail to or call Joana Conklin at the Department of Transportation, indicating your interest: email@example.com or 240-777-7195.

Rio de Janeiro: Floods, storms, earthquakes and a tsunami displaced 14.9 million people last year, 89 percent of them in Asia, according to an estimate by two Norwegian-backed agencies issued here Tuesday.
"The 10 largest disasters in terms of the amount of people displaced all took place in Asia, including multiple events in China, the Philippines, Sri Lanka and Japan," said Elisabeth Rasmusson of the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC).
"The worst were the prolonged flood disasters in China and Thailand, which together displaced over five million people."
The estimate, issued on the sidelines of the UN Conference on Sustainable Development in Rio, applies to people who are internally displaced within a country.
But an accurate total of how many of the 14.9 million remain displaced is unclear because data is so sketchy, its authors said.
In northeastern Japan, 492,000 people fled their homes after the March 10, 2011 mega-quake and tsunami, according to the report, compiled with the Swiss-based Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC).
One year on, 344,000 of them still live in temporary accommodation, it said.
In terms of the proportion of national population, Sri Lanka was worst hit, for 685,000 people, or three percent of its populace, were uprooted from their homes by heavy seasonal rains and back-to-back floods.

This was a desperation pick by the Minnesota Vikings. Harrison Smith is not a 1st-round prospect, and only comes off the board here because of the significant dropoff in talent at safety once he's off the board. And while safety was definitely a need, the Vikings had more crucial holes to fill.
I also don't like to see teams like the Vikings trade up. When you're in full rebuilding mode, there's no reason to trade up unless it's for a difference maker at a critical position such as quarterback.

Obama a divisive fear-mongerer
President Obama plays the fear card often, including on Feb. 19 (http://tinyurl.com/ayaqeyt): "Now, if Congress allows this meat-cleaver approach to take place, it will jeopardize our military readiness; it will eviscerate job-creating investments in education and energy and medical research. ... Emergency responders (and) their ability to help communities respond to and recover from disasters will be degraded. Border Patrol agents will see their hours reduced. ... (There will be) delays at airports across the country. Thousands of teachers and educators will be laid off. Tens of thousands of parents will have to scramble to find child care for their kids. Hundreds of thousands of Americans will lose access to primary care and preventive care. ... The burden is all on ... seniors or middle-class families. So these cuts are not smart. ... They will hurt our economy."
Who knew?
Obama was offered the ability to make discretionary cuts; turning it down. However, if the government can operate all of these programs with only $85 billion — yes, I am impressed. We certainly don't need the $2.3 trillion budget. Hurrah! Country saved.
No, Obama is a petulant, divisive, fear-mongerer.

Believes in whole Constitution, Bill of Rights
Bruce Thompson ("The Second Amendment isn't scripture," Feb. 21) needs to understand that the Constitution and the Bill Of Rights are our "scripture of freedom."
He gives that tired old argument about the Second Amendment being only about the militia when, in reality, it's about giving "the people" a means to protect themselves from government tyranny and being able to protect themselves.
Our experiences in Vietnam and Afghanistan destroy his comment, "Who seriously thinks a bunch of gun nuts are a match for ... U.S. military?" ("The Second Amendment is obsolete," Feb. 2). What have these countries done to the "greatest military power on earth"?
Thompson's son is fighting for his father's freedom with a gun he "appreciates" and he doesn't believe in the Second Amendment? Give me a break. Would his son deny his father the right to defend himself with a gun? I think not.
I believe in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights completely, not just the parts I like.
If Mr. Thompson feels so strongly about the need to get rid of the Second Amendment, he has the "right" to start a movement to do just that.

Hollywood is hurting America
Hollywood taking dramatic or artistic license in fact-based or true stories, such as the Academy Award-nominated movies "Argo," Lincoln" and "Zero Dark Thirty," is one thing. However, it cannot be stretched to a facsimile or copy of the truth when the theme of the plot is altered or tainted by ideology. Indeed, it simply doesn't read the same when it promotes a liberal agenda.
Worse, American history revisionists such as Howard Zinn's book, "A People's History of the United States" — widely used in our education system of corrupted indoctrination — and currently, Oliver Stone's book and film, "The Untold History of the United States," serve as nothing more than the author's and artist's efforts to undermine the historical meaning of our noble culture.

An eleven-day boxing technical course for coaches wrapped up at the weekend at the Friendship Hotel in Bakau. The course was organised by The Gambia National Olympic Committee in collaboration with the Olympic Solidarity and the International Boxing Federation (AIBA).
Speaking at the closing ceremony, representing the minister of Youth and Sports, the executive secretary of the National Sports Council, Mamudou Max Jallow said it was important for associations to organise such courses and hoped that it would be frequent in order to expose them to new things.
Max Jallow used the opportunity to congratulate the only female participant in the course, Margett Jarjue. He challenged the boxers to make good use of the knowledge gained while adding that they can now boost of talents they will use to defend themselves without using weapons.
Jallow noted the dormancy of the Gambia Boxing Association and pleaded for the association to stand behind acting president Pa Alieu Jallow in order for them to excel.
The acting president of Boxing Association, Pa Alieu Jallow hailed the participants for demonstrating the willingness to learn and challenged them to make good use of what they have learnt and to also impart the knowledge on others when they finally retire from the sport.
Abdalla Halabi, the Lebanon born course director, who is one of the coaches of AIBA, said he was very proud of all the boxers and that he is with the belief that the future of Gambian boxing is bright. According to him, he was sceptical about their capabilities but after few days he started to build confidence in them while adding that with proper training, they can excel.
Momodou Demba, a development officer at The Gambia National Olympic Committee, who also doubles as the course coordinator, informed that from 2013 the International Boxing Federation has decided that no coach will travel with a team without two coaching stars. He said with the level one under their belts, they will get the opportunity to attain the next level.
Ebrima Jallow, one of the participants, giving the vote of thanks commended the GBA, GNOC, Olympic Solidarity and AIBA on behalf of his colleagues for the opportunity accorded them.

Nope; I don't have any - but then I haven't examined it in a mirror to see just what was the 'pressing' issue.
Anyway, let me go on to describ the helmet. I was told they have three shell sizes, but I have no clue where the delinations of sizes, if they do make three, lie.
I bought a small for wht has alaways been a medium helmet head. I noticed right off what was said about the softer lining foam - that it would probably crush down in months and make the helmet a whole size larger. What I did, then, was to buy the small. Now that I own the helmet, I can assure ptoential buyers that the foam seems even cheaper than that. I mean there really is nothing to the soft foam, and I expect even this small helmet to become loose on my medium head.
A buddy here at work was able to snap back in the flip-dwn visor when I showed him it. It wasn't that I couldn't have, but I didn't even take a look at it since it already failed once - I'd rather just leave it out then.
A small squabble: the helmet doesn't come in pure white, it comes in pearl white. Ugh... I liked the all white cheaper Bilt helmet's loks better, but I need the (potential) venting this one has for Florida. For the money I could always take a gloss white spray can to it I guess.
After reading through this thread I've come to the conclusion
that more people cruise the internet looking for reasons why
X bike won't work in Y scenario rather than actually riding
their motorcycles

"I have to be careful to not lose who I am or the Miley Cyrus factor, by going to do other characters. But I want to extend my audience. I want to give myself new challenges and not just be the same person, over and over." Miley Cyrus, on why she's hanging up her Hannah Montana wig.
I mean,she couldn't be more right.If she doesn't start working on other projects,serious ones,she'll be forever Hannah Montana (if she's not,already) and will never be taken seriously.
i dont really like her, no offense, plus all the piercings and tattoos and nude pics going on, i know she`s trying hard to change her hannah montana image, but she`s acting too desperately. i like her voice, and okay, so she can act. but whats the big deal?
Pingback: uberVU - social comments
We can only hope she will finally fall off of the map. A few catchy songs and a Disney show popular with seven to twelve year olds. Big freaking deal, she's an untalented nasty stick figure with less brains than a slug and she is given way too much credit as an artist.
I feel she is doing the right thing!!
I feel she is doing the right thing!!
She can't keep on being someone she is not!!!
Good job mileyy!!!
I just realized she has a nose piercing o_O .
Hannah Montana will forever hold a spot inside my soul. I started watching it when I was twelve and just watched the season finale. I'm seriously going to miss it (thank goodness for reruns!) and I love the soundtracks. I completely understand where she's coming from — I just received my own breakout role and… I have to think about what makes sense, you know, as I move forward. At seventeen, Miley has already done SO much. She's skilled, and she's set, pretty much for the rest of her life as far as her acting career goes. I totally get it.
Bye Hannah, Hello Miley.
Now I like it.
Go for it, Miley.
OMFG,she has a nose piercing *OOO*
It looks so good on her,I haven't seen it before !
I really think that she is a skilled girl,she can act well enough (no THE best actress ever,but I seriously think that she is good and,in time,she'll become even more skilled in this area) and her voice is beautiful.
The only problem were her Hannah Montana's songs and some other stuffs.Now that she's going into a different direction,I feel like she's going to work…her songs are a lot more matured and,taking roles into serious movies will get her to be taken seriously as an actress.
Good luck to ya,doll,you are gaining my respect =D
you will always be Hannah Banana acept it
I understand Miley 3 season Hannah montana are to much.she is MIley and not Hannah.A actor needs new rools!

Just What Is Socialism?
College of Political Knowledge
I am glad you asked! I apologize for the redundancy, but as long as people keep using the term to describe Obama, I will be here to dispute their claim…..
As promised, I will once again teach you what socialism is and what you could expect from a government….
First, if you learn nothing else from our time together….learn this one fact….the statement, "from each according to his ability, to each according to his need" was NOT uttered by Marx, but rather a Frenchman, Louis Blanc…….
I have been fighting the insult of socialism for many years…..too many people throw it around and yet have NO idea what it is they are saying……I try to help people understand the political theory known as socialism.
The newest red meat thrown at Repubs is Newt…well not so new but rather the next right winger to get his day in the light….and Newt does not disappoint…..he has thrown the term "socialism" around more in the last couple of weeks than in most of his career…..sorry my GOP fans….Newt is an arrogant sociopathic little toad…you know this from past dealings with the man….but yet hatred for a prez will allow this person another look see…..
And then there is Rick Perry using the insult……."We have a president who is a socialist," Perry said in response to a question at the early morning GOPdebate in Concord, N.H.
And now the GOP's front runner, Mitt, is using the insult but at least he tries to disguise the fact….."He wants to turn America into a European-style entitlement society. We want to ensure that we remain a free and prosperous land of opportunity." (The ever present "WE"….whoever they are)……
Like I have said…..Many use the term….few understand it…….Let me try to make in simple so that there is NO confusion….
- Socialism guarantees everyone a decent life with food, shelter, health care, and education.
- Socialism will work to eradicate poverty and great disparities of wealth.
- Socialism works to uproot racism, sexism, and homophobia. It aims to dismantle the hierarchies of gender and race.
- Socialism focuses on the common good as the way for individuals to excel and explore their talents and desires.
- Socialism puts working people—the working class—in charge of their destiny through workers' ownership and active participation and management of production, land, public services, assets, and utilities.
- Socialism works to end the brutal cycle of policing and mass incarceration, and seeks to build a justice system that values human life and community empowerment.
- Socialism puts the global ecological system at the center of all economic activity.
- Socialism is about expanding individual rights (including the freedom to criticize), deepening and widening democracy and democratic institutions (like government, schools, unions, community groups), and ensuring dignity.
In other words….it is democracy at work……a political theory that involves and includes all people in the process of governing…….with that said…I do NOT see Obama fitting into that category at all.
Democracy is a form of government in which all citizens take part. It is government of the people, by the people, and for the people.
Socialism is where we all put our resources together and work for the common good of us all and not just for our own benefit. In this sense, we are sharing the wealth within society.
Of course when people hear that term, "Share the wealth" they start screaming, "OMG you want to rob from the rich and give it all to the poor!" But that is NOT what Democratic Socialism means.
To a Democratic Socialist, sharing the wealth means pooling tax money together to design social programs that benefit ALL citizens of that country, city, state, etc.
And there are many forms of socialism……..but the basic tenets are the same……it is a truer form of democracy than most others……the people are in control….and is that not what we think the Founding Fathers had in mind?
Now ask yourself….do we, as Americans, have a social contract….that is a contract between the governed and governing? (A future post coming to a blog near you)….
Road To Dystopia
College of Political Knowledge
Votes are counted in Iowa and most likely mean absolutely nothing…..and now on to New Hampshire.
While you suffer through the endless interviews and sound bites I would like to give you something to think about….before you return to the reality of the political circus.
I know the title sounds like one of those zany movies with Bob Hope and Bing Crosby….but that is not what I am writing about….though the movie might be more interesting to some…..
When you study political philosophy you will inevitably study the works of Sir Thomas More, especially his writings on the perfect idyllic world of the island paradise of "Utopia"……..his writing was about the perfect society for man….his ideas were forward thinking for the day, which was 1516 and included such as ideas as the abolition of private property, universal obligation to work, right to an equal share of society's wealth, the concept of equal rights under the law and state management and control of production……..
Of course he made these observations during the reign of bonnie King Henry VIII and all these proposals were very risky and More paid for them with his life…..and for a hundred years maybe a little longer the world forgot about the writings and the concepts put forth bu Sir Thomas More….but then in 1656 or there about, the concept of "Utopia" was re-visited by another Englishman, James Harrington.
Harrington, once King Charles I was executed spent time in the countryside writing about a proper government for the people of England….during this time he acquainted himself with More's "Utopia" and expanding onto it a bit……to include a strict division of power between an executive and a legislative branch….he called for two houses an upper called the senate that could debate issues but had little to no power, a lower house that voted on the policies that were proposed…the upper house would draw from the aristocracy and the lower were from the people that were voted into office and served a fixed term on a rotating basis….those for the lower house were open to all adult males with the exception of bachelors and attorneys…they could vote but not hold office…..(an idea that has some merit when it comes to attorneys)…..Harrington also had the idea of a separation of powers and indirect election of a president….all this was an expansion on More's Utopia but Harrington called his idyllic society as the "Commonwealth Of Oceana"…….(BTW, if you bother to read More and Harrington then the founding father that is credited with so many accomplished ideas, Jefferson, does not look as genius as the historians would have us believe)……..
I bet about now, my reader is going…..Get to the point, Professor! What is "Dystopia"?
I am coming to the point…just gimme a couple minutes to set it up……
The year now is 1868 and enter…… (stage right)……. a political philosopher named John Stuart Mill…..he read and understood More's Utopia and as this was a place that was good and honest to exist, Mill came up with the antagonist he called "Dystopia", meaning a place that was too bad to exist…….and now we are to the point of this post!
Dystopia is the idea of a society in a repressive and controlled state, often under the guise of being utopian, as characterized in books like Brave New World and 1984. Dystopian societies feature different kinds of repressive social control systems, various forms of active and passive coercion. Ideas and works about dystopian societies often explore the concept of humans abusing technology and humans individually and collectively coping, or not being able to properly cope with technology that has progressed far more rapidly than humanity's spiritual evolution. Dystopian societies are often imagined as police states, with unlimited power over the citizens.
What are the characteristics of this society?
Propaganda used to control society, concept is worshiped by citizens of the society, citizens are under constant surveillance, citizens are taught fear of outside world, citizens live in a De-humanized state, the natural world is distrusted, citizens are encouraged to conform to a prescribed conduct and society is an illusion of a perfect world.
Stop and think…does the internet bill or the detention bill or the way some people treat others or ……I could keep putting in the "or"s but you get the point….just look around…take a solid objective look at our country today…..now what did you see?
Now that paragraph is the meat of the post…In my opinion, the US is moving rather rapidly toward becoming Dystopian country…Americans need to sit down and take stock of what this country is becoming….all the hyper-partisanship, all the fear tactics used to insist on compliance, all the false idols that were are told to worship, like capitalist, heroes, etc……
Utopia does NOT exist….but Dystopia is rapidly approaching by Americans lack of concern for the country as a whole….their mini concerns will guarantee a country that NO one will want to live in…it will be too bad to exist….a DYSTOPIA!
I now return you to your news source for updates on the circus I call the 2012 Circus of Stars!
Merits Of A Romney!
We, Americans, have been bombarded with endless accusations that Obama and most Dems are some how socialist….some think that are closet socialist and others think that they are outright…..and then there are those like Romney that are scared of using the term and try to cloak the accusation in doublespeak…..
Romney got about as close to suggesting the current president wants to bring pure socialism to America as one can without actually saying the word.
"He seeks to replace our merit-based society with an entitlement society," Romney told an audience at the Republican Jewish Coalition's candidate forum.
He explained that Obama's vision for the country is some kind of meritless-free, government-controlled superstate straight out of the pages of Orwell.
Was it humor? Or maybe Mitt giving us his vision of what "HIS" America will look if he is EVER elected?
I know that most Americans prefer their politics boiled down to bumper sticker slogans or 30 second sound bytes….but they need to pull their heads out of their butts and listen to what these people are saying there is more to it than a sound byte….and if they cannot accomplish this feat then this whole system that they are so proud of is a doomed exercise in futility……
As an observer of political theory, I see a message embedded in the statement by Romney. When he said "He seeks to replace our merit-based society with an entitlement society," he is giving us a look into his idea of our society in his plan……to me, he is championing a "Meritocracy"……
Right about now most readers are asking….HUH?
Meritocracy is a system of government or other administration wherein appointments and responsibilities are objectively assigned to individuals based upon their "merits", namely intelligence, credentials, and education, determined through evaluations or examinations. The "most common definition of meritocracy conceptualizes merit in terms of tested competency and ability, and most likely as measured by IQ or standardized achievement tests."
Meritocracy itself is not a form of government, but rather an ideology. In government applications, individuals appointed to a meritocracy are judged based upon certain merits which could range from intelligence to morality to general aptitude to specific knowledge.
Supporters of meritocracies do not necessarily agree on the nature of "merit", however they tend to agree that "merit" itself should be a primary consideration during evaluation.
Is that what Romney has planned? A country where intelligence, education or morality…in other words, only certain types of people will be tolerated……. all others will be subjects to the will of a few……
Maybe we voters need to take a closer look at all those pertaining to be concerned about the direction of the country…..Pay attention to what is said! There may be a clue to what you may be really voting for……Just a thought!
American Socialism–A History Lesson
Obama is a socialist……Dems are all socialists…….Krugman is one….Keynes was a big one and now Boehner is one…..socialists here, there, everywhere….but really……how long will these people keep trying to sell that premise?
When I first thought of this post I was going to go through the whole litany of reasons why none of those mentioned are socialists….but I have done that almost to death and all to try and make people wake up to the fact that there are NO socialists hiding in their closets……I have pointed to the facts about economics…none of which is socialist…unions are not socialists and ……if you been reading Info Ink you know what I have been trying to do in the past 3 or so years….it is hard to dispel a moronic accusation….but I try and try and……..I know I am butting my head against a wall but I just cannot let out right lies go on unchallenged……..
This time I thought I would approach it from another direction, a historical one…….
Let's go back, well let say, about hundred years or so……it is the early 20th century and the industrial revolution is blowing and going, literally, blowing and going…….because of the conditions created by the revolution socialism is starting to make in roads in England and the rest of Europe…..the European worker is struggling for the basic of political rights……working conditions is one of the main issues….
Now across the big pond, the US is also in the middle of the industrial revolution and workers are also struggling with political rights…..but there is a problem for the growth of socialism….. here in America the struggle of those rights did not take the turn that it had in Europe….you see, America was born democratic and did not have to deal the the fights that the Europeans did…there was no peasants, aristocracy, etc…..and the big number one thing is the individual's aim of owning property….sorry but that is a big obstacle for socialism to flourish. Citizenship and voting rights were something guaranteed to every person, well every man for the time being, and finally the strong confidence in the existing political system.
The Socialist Party in America arrived in the 1850s in the hearts and minds of German immigrants who formed Marxist style labor collectives and trade guilds. These unions and the political party they spawned were guided by a common tenet.
The socialist movement became a political force in 1900 under the charismatic leadership of Eugene V. Debs. Under his guidance, a web of political influence spanned the nation as the party elected mayors, councilmen, alderman and congressmen. Pittsburg Kansas was the home of the primary Socialist newspaper, "The Voice of Reason," with a circulation of 700,000.
Deb's influence was so pervasive that in 1912, he ran for president and received six percent of the vote. His message of poverty and social injustice appealed to the blue collar workers suffering under the crush of American industrialism where a very few became very wealthy of the work of the common people.
However, this idealistic and optimistic movement peaked in 1912 and declined steadily after that. Socialism suffered after World War I and came under attack during the Red Scare' that began after the Russian Revolution of 1914. Socialists were lumped in the same category as communists and many leaders, including Debs, were arrested. Continued philosophical rifts weakened the movement further. The downtrodden, found no glory in their lot in life, and sought upward mobility in the economic boom following World War II. Other workers turned to unions and concentrated on increasing wages and benefits instead of reforming society. Idealogically adrift, the socialist movement ceased to be a viable factor in American politics in the 1950s.
Today, the socialist movement bears no resemblance to the idealistic tenets of its founders. Fractured and fractuous, groups purporting to espouse socialism range from the extreme left with the Socialist Party USA and their calls for collective ownership of means of production, to the extreme right, including the National Socialist Movement that wants to restore socialism in the mold of Hitler's Germany.
Unfortunately, as with all non-mainstream movements, viable and important political concepts get lost in the rhetoric. Debs message was simple America was too great a nation to have so many mired in poverty. He gave them a voice. However, that voice has been lost in the Babel that followed.
Until recently, socialism was having a difficult time finding a solid foothold in the political landscape….but all that is changing but the problem is the people are not aware of it and the right has done a lot to help the rise of a socialistic movement……for a lot of the issues that the masses are demanding are issues from the socialist playbook……
If you take nothing away from this post….remember one important thing………
To a Democratic Socialist, sharing the wealth means pooling tax money together to design social programs that benefit ALL citizens of that country, city, state, etc.
"Socialism is the belief and the hope that by proper use of government power, men can be rescued from their helplessness in the wild cycling cruelty of depression and boom."
Socialism can be a pure form of democracy….if only people would stop looking for boogey men and hiding in the closet….our major problems could be solved…it would take lots or work by the people….and unfortunately I am not convinced that they are up to it…..
It's The Economy, Right?
I was watching CNBC the other day and the anchor got all bubbly because the market went up over 100 points and the GDP figures were in and it expanded by 2.5%, which is pretty good since the last two quarters sucked bad…..
The US' total economic output shot up 2.5% from July through September, after two dismal quarters of rising just 0.4% and 1.3%, according to a new GDP report released today. Consumers amped up their spending on both durable goods and services, and business investments soared 16.3%—indicating that we may not be in for a second recession after all.
The numbers were also boosted by federal government spending, though drops in state government spending dampened that effect. And there's some more moderately positive news: New jobless claims fell 2,000 this week, after dropping 7,000 last week. But that still leaves claims at 402,000—economists think claims must fall below 400,000 for job growth to outpace job losses.
All the pundits are jerking off at the news….but there is still no jobs! There are still millions of Americans that are unemployed! Then for whom is all this good news? Apparently, investors and by investors I mean hedge funds and by hedge funds I mean the same thieves that help tank the economy in the first place……those figures will be seasonal adjusted……which means in the final analysis….it will NOT be as good as they want it to be….
Let's review……..0.1% of the population controls 34% of the country's wealth, and owned as much much money as the bottom 42%. Corporate profits are up by 62%, and the earnings of the top percentage almost doubled, while the average raise for workers only rose about 9%. The Prez and the Congress gave massive tax cuts and even the Supreme Court got involved in politics………(pause here to re-read)……Wait! That was the crash of 1929, not 2008! And just like 1929 the economic crisis spread worldwide…..
My point here that all this has happened before and for the same reasons, well almost the same reasons, The Prez was Coolidge in1926….and the Supreme Court got involved in the process by ruling the minimum wage law was unconstitutional (they were controlled by business kinda like today and the ruling in the "People United" thing)…..why allow the same things to occur over and over and do nothing to change the vicious cycle?
And just like the crisis in 1929….Tax cuts and deficit debate will do NOTHING to repair the failing economy…..Bold new ideas must be found and I do not see that possible with a Congress owned by special interests….and yes…that could mean a bit of socialism….
I suggest if you truly want change then find another path….they are there…you just have to want it!
Joke Of The Week–Venture Socialism
The GOP/Teabagger wind bag is at it again…..Sen. DeMint…this time he is using the tired old argument of socialism……again!
"I would love to be able to work with the president on something — but he's practicing what we call 'venture socialism.' — I mean, he basically has taken an approach where it's the government that needs to stimulate jobs," DeMint told Fox News' Greta Van Susteren. "And I know as an employer . . . you don't hire someone because the payroll tax is a little lower or you get a $4,000 tax credit.
Democracy is a form of government in which all citizens take part. It is government of the people, by the people, and for the people.
Socialism is where we all put our resources together and work for the common good of us all and not just for our own benefit. In this sense, we are sharing the wealth within society.
Of course when people hear that term, "Share the wealth" they start screaming, "OMG you want to rob from the rich and give it all to the poor!" But that is NOT what Democratic Socialism means.
To a Democratic Socialist, sharing the wealth means pooling tax money together to design social programs that benefit ALL citizens of that country, city, state, etc.
Democratic Socialism does NOT mean taking from the rich and giving to the poor. It works to benefit everyone so the rich can no longer take advantage of the poor and middle class.
Okay, Google it! There is NO such thing as venture socialism….well in DeMint's tiny brain….but not in any political or economic theory….as usual the Teabaggers make up crap and use it for its fear factor….a made up crisis or situation…….kinda like a ponzi scheme or some shot that causes mental retardation……
Just how stupid do they think the American people are? (that is a rhetorical question)………I try to ignore the silliness of an uninformed mind but sometimes I cannot let it go…..and DeMint and his moronic statements is one of those I cannot let go……Sorry if I am being redundant……

Question: What is red and itchy, but can also be bumpy, lumpy, or scaly?
Answer: If you said a rash, you're right!
A rash can also be called dermatitis (say: dur-muh-TYE-tus), which is swelling (puffiness) or irritation of the skin. It can be red, dry, scaly, and itchy. Rashes also can include lumps, bumps, blisters, and even pimples. Most people have had a rash or two. When you were a baby, you probably had diaper rash!
But some rashes, especially combined with a fever, can be signs of serious illnesses. Hives, also called urticaria (say: ur-tuh-KAR-ee-ah), also can be serious because they can be a sign of an allergic reaction and the person may need immediate medical attention.
Hives, which are reddish or pale swellings, appear on a person's body when a chemical called histamine (say: HIS-tuh-meen) is released in response to an allergen. The trigger could be a certain food, medicine, or bug bite. A virus also can cause hives.
Some rashes form right away and others can take several days to occur. When a rash appears, you usually know it because it will start to bother you. If you develop a rash, tell a parent or another adult as soon as you can. For instance, you might want to see the school nurse if you are at school.
Try not to scratch. If you do, the rash may take longer to heal and you'll be more likely to develop an infection or scar.
A visit to the doctor is a good idea if you have a rash. Although all rashes may look alike to you, your doctor or a dermatologist (say: dur-muh-TOL-uh-jist), a skin doctor, knows the difference. And knowing which kind of rash you have can help the dermatologist choose the best treatment to heal your rash.
For eczema, the doctor may suggest special moisturizers called emollients (say: ih-MOL-yunts). Emollients retain the water in your skin, keeping it soft and smooth while soothing the itchy feeling.
For poison ivy, the doctor may recommend cool showers and calamine lotion. In more severe cases, a liquid or pill medicine called an antihistamine might be needed. It decreases itching and redness.
For rashes that are caused by an allergen, including hives, the doctor will probably want more information. He or she will want to find out which food, substance, medicine, or insect caused your rash or hives. The doctor might recommend a medical test to determine which allergens are causing you trouble. It's important to find this out because the best way to prevent rashes and hives caused by allergens is to avoid the problem food, substance, medicine, or bug.
Prevention is also the name of the game when it comes to other kinds of rashes:
Being a kid means getting a few rashes. But now you know what to do if you get that awful itchy feeling!

The Square
I don't like Mondays just as much as the Boomtown Rats. Nor does the restaurant industry. Everyone's back to work, the markets are closed, and no one goes out to eat. Indeed, the best places are often shut at the beginning of the week. Not, however, The Square. I'd read praise for it as having "flawless" service, serving up "sophisticated" food, with Phillip Howard's restaurant being "the best of its type". An excellent reputation demands high expectations. On the Monday I went, I experienced nothing to such acclaim. I have to ask: Where was our fantastic meal that everybody else is having? Continue reading
Pollen Street Social
Whether you're a lover or a hater, you cannot deny that Gordon Ramsay has influenced some of the finest British chefs around. Without Ramsay there'd be no Marcus Wareing at the Berkeley, neither Angela Hartnett's Murano, nor Jason Atherton's Pollen Street Social. Now, however, each chef has left the Ramsay nest, and seems much the better for it. They've realised that the old dog has given up on the new tricks, and it's time for them to shine. And indeed they do. This week there are no quips, no jibes, and no cynicism. Pollen Street Social is my favourite restaurant in London. Well, probably. Continue reading
Peruvian cuisine has crept up on the London restaurant scene with three recent openings in the past year; indeed, the whispered word on the lips of the online food brigade at the moment is that speciality from Peru – ceviche. The last time I had ceviche was a few years ago at The Ledbury; the dish was let down by its sharp citrus marinade and gelatinous texture. A huge disappointment for two star cooking. I'd been put off ever since. But being older and wiser, it was time to give ceviche another go. So of the three new Peruvian restaurants, we chose newest kid on the block, Lima, to tickle our South American tastebuds. And tickled they were. Continue reading
It was going to be a hard act to follow last week's Corner Room, but if anywhere could stand up to its brilliance, it would be Gauthier. If Michelin-pomp isn't for you, it's somewhere to avoid, but previously I'd found the converted West End townhouse to be a welcome indulgence, serving consistently high-quality French cuisine with finesse. Once a year, the restaurant serves a two-for-one tasting menu, "to experience the full creativity of Alexis and his team the way he would want you to, but for a very special price", said their email. And £35 each is a very special price for eight courses. You've heard the old adage that if something seems to good to be true, it probably is? This was no exception.
Corner Room
A simple space on the first floor of the Town Hall Hotel in Bethnal Green gives little away, but look a little closer and it becomes apparent that someone has a sense of humour: a spiral staircase leading nowhere; lamps hung at spectacularly varying heights; no external telephone. The place is unassuming. The menu is the same. Three ingredients are listed for each dish, with no indication as to how they're to be prepared or served. Portuguese chef, Nuno Mendes – who trained at El Bulli – is best known for working his magic at Michelin-starred Viajante, downstairs, so as you settle into your seats at Corner Room you feel like you might just be in for a treat. And you're not wrong there.
In late 2009, mid economic crisis, Russell Norman bravely opened his first bacaro (a Venetian wine bar to you or me) just off Carnaby Street. Three years later and Norman has four more successful restaurants to his name. He's done well. Very well. And why wouldn't he have? The concept is instantly likeable: fairly-priced food to share, served in a hip venue. Throw in enough booze and everyone will love it. And indeed they do; it's very difficult to find a bad word against Polpo anywhere. Until now. Not much feeling up to the scrum that is undoubtedly their evening 'no reservations' policy, I set on a Monday afternoon to see what all the fuss was about. Everything that goes through the door seems to have been 'distressed': the walls, the menus, the waiters' jeans. Me too.
If it's fine dining that you're looking for without the pretence or hefty price tag head to Arbutus in Soho. Having been before I knew what to expect. Superb produce served by knowledgeable staff in a relaxed, contemporary setting. Modern European all over. This place has been on the scene for around six years now so I went back with my other half to see if its sparkle was still there. Little had changed in the few years since my last visit. Think creams and dark chocolates, mirrors and right angles. A diabetic engineer's heaven. It might sound a little safe, but the decoration does in fact suit the U-shaped restaurant. However, with all that hard wood and bare wall, voices are always a little strained. A few soft touches here and there still wouldn't go amiss. Bring back the tablecloth I say. Continue reading

July 5, 2015
Dothan, AL - High school football players have put in the time, work, and sweat. Now they're ready to kick off the season.
But first, the stadium has to be ready.
Crews with Dothan Leisure Services have put in plenty of time this summer making sure Rip Hewes Stadium is in good shape for Northview and Dothan High Schools' teams to hit the field.
"The field maintenance has been going on all summer. We fertilized it, and cut it on a daily basis," Matt Barefield, Dothan Leisure Services.
But the extra rain this summer has slowed them down.
Barefield said, "You want to keep the grass at a certain height. If you can't get out here to cut the grass, when you do get out here you have to cut it a layer at a time."
Now they're putting on the finishing touches by pressure washing the bleachers, painting the field, and making sure the score board is working.
"We try to put the best face forward that we can. We want the city to look good and we want the participants and the fans to enjoy themselves," said Kenny Thompson, Dothan Leisure Services.
From Pee Wee to Varsity, more than fifty games will played at Rip Hewes Stadium this year.
Both Northview and Dothan High Schools Jamborees will be played at Rip Hewes this week.
Dothan plays Abbeville Thursday night, and Northview plays Carver Friday.
Kick-off is set for seven o'clock each night.
We'll have all the highlights in our first Friday Night Football show of the season this week.
It starts at 10:30 p.m.

Slots, Blackjack, otters and a bear?!
June 16th, 2011 by admin
On Sunday, the Sun Sentinel newspaper published an opinion piece by ARFF's Communications Director Don Anthony about the arrival of two otters at Seminole Okalee Indian Village, a depressing zoo located next to the Seminole Hard Rock Casino in Hollywood.
Don's editorial criticized the zoo's claims that the otter exhibit will educate people about environmental conservation. "Conservation means saving animals and saving the natural habitat in which they live," Don wrote. "Purchasing otters that were purposely bred in captivity and shipped a thousand miles to this facility for the sake of tourism is not conservation."
The editorial also mentioned the many complaints that ARFF has received about a solitary black bear who is on exhibit in a dark, barren enclosure and about abusive alligator wrestling shows held at the zoo.
The two otters that arrived last month, from a private breeder in California, were not the first otters to call the Okalee Indian Village home. As recently as December 2008, the zoo had 5 otters, as well as an additional black bear and one brown bear. We don't know what happened to these animals. Click here to view video ARFF took in 2008 of raccoons and a bear exhibiting stereotypic behavior.
If you visit the Hard Rock casino, please do not purchase a ticket to enter the Okalee Indian Village. Write to the Seminole Tribe of Florida and ask them to stop adding new animals to its zoo, and to find a more suitable home for the solitary bear. Contact:
