New City Would Be Called City of St. George
After three months of debate, leaders of Local Schools for Local Children voted Tuesday to begin the formal process of creating a new municipality in the southeast part of East Baton Rouge Parish. The group's leader, Norman Browning, said a petition drive will probably be launched before the end of September.
The new municipality would be named the City of St. George.
Its boundaries would include all of the unincorporated parts of East Baton Rouge Parish south and east of the City of Baton Rouge, including the St. George and Eastside fire districts.
Browning estimated the population at 107,000, which would make the new city the 5th largest municipality in Louisiana.
Up until now, the group has sought to create the Southeast Community School District, and that remains its primary goal, Browning said. However, efforts to create the new school district have been frustrated in the legislature by a handful of Republicans who have opposed it. Creation of a new school district requires a state constitutional amendment and a two-thirds vote of both houses of the Louisiana Legislature. The proposed constitutional amendment passed the Senate but failed in the House.
Browning said supporters of the new school district have been encouraged by a provision of the Louisiana Constitution which allows municipalities to operate school districts without a constitutional amendment.
The five largest municipalities in the state are New Orleans, 343,829; Baton Rouge, 229,493; Shreveport, 199,311; Lafayette, 120,623, and Lake Charles, 91,623. The new City of St. George would displace Lake Charles as the 5th largest city.
In order to create a new municipality, organizers would have to secure petition signatures from one-fourth of the registered voters in the proposed city. The governor would then call an election, and voters within the proposed boundaries would go to the polls and vote. If a majority of those voting favored incorporation, the municipality would be created on a date set by the governor, who would appoint the first city officials.
Under the Lawrason Act, which governs new municipalities in Louisiana, the first officials would be a mayor, police chief, and city council members. They would serve until a special election could be held to allow the voters to choose their successors.
Voters in Central created the City of Central in 2005, and the legislature approved and sent to the voters a constitutional amendment to create the Central Community School System, which took over the public schools in Central in July 2007. Since then, it has become the No. 2 ranked school system in the state.
Browning said members of his group will be meeting with neighborhood civic associations to explain the advantages of incorporation. He said he expects opposition to the plan.
The boundaries would be the Mississippi River on the west, Bayou Manchac on the south, and the Amite River on the east. The northern boundary would follow the city limits of Baton Rouge and go as far north as the boundaries of the Central Fire Protection District.
Browning said some unincorporated areas, such as Town Center, may not be included in the proposed City of St. George because they are not contiguous to the rest of the new city. It would probably take an agreement of some type with the Metro Council for such areas to be included at a later date.
Browning said his group will be working to raise money to promote the creation of the new city.
He said persons interested in contributing should contact him at 225-268-6930.

11/24/10 - Dear Santa: Please Bring Sanity [link to this story]
I'm not a big fan of the consumptive nature of the "holiday season," though I do love me some reading. One of the latest on my wish list is Tim Wu's new tome, The Master Switch. The book itself examines the rise of "information empires" within U.S. communications history, ranging from radio to the Internet.
Wu occupies an interesting place in the media policymaking world: he's not been afraid to speak his mind, and he's also remained independent enough to look at our information environment from a strategic perspective, instead of getting embroiled in tactical distractions.
I think the "Constitutional option" that Wu suggests to break up the increasingly centralized control of our communications infrastructure is truly radical. However, in a recent Wall Street Journal article Wu makes a compelling argument that we've already reached the point of "information monopolies," especially online and, despite whatever the latest policy-of-the-month skirmish might be, some radical action is necessary.
With regard to the Internet, things are "still relatively young, and we remain in the golden age of these monopolists. We can also take comfort from the fact that most of the Internet's giants profess an awareness of their awesome powers and some sense of attendant duty to the public. Perhaps if we're vigilant, we can prolong the benign phase of their rule. But let's not pretend that we live in anything but an age of monopolies."
Now, if only Santa can can deliver on the necessary enlightenment and vigilance.
11/17/10 - Politics-Based Policy, or Policy-Based Politics? [link to this story]
If you haven't yet read Harold Feld's humorous critique on the handling of network neutrality as a "political issue" during the recent elections, it's worth the time.
Harold calls out two functional weaknesses in what constitutes the public interest constituency in D.C.: the desire to score quick political points with no long-term value and the penchant to react in a knee-jerk fashion when the drive to score backfires.
Using the example of a closing-days "network neutrality pledge" ginned up by a progressive blog, and the insidious echo-chamber effect of Twitter, Harold wonders if folks are losing track of the substance behind important policy issues such as network neutrality in exchange for symbolic sniping.
On this specific issue, Matthew Lasar is not hopeful. The strategy to outlaw data discrimination needs a serious overhaul.
11/11/10 - The Life and Times of Radio Engineering [link to this story]
Paul Thurst's blog, Engineering Radio, is great new addition to the interwebs. Thurst is a working broadcast engineer. From personal experience, I've found that engineers are typically the most intelligent, grounded (no pun intended) and and eccentric folks at any radio station.
Today, many stations don't even have their own engineers, and those still employed in the business often find themselves busting tail working for multiple employers, multiple stations, and without much respect.
I've never understood the latter: most radio station management and air talent are pretty clueless technologically, except for memorizing which buttons they need to push in the studio. If something goes awry, it's a "crisis" - for which the engineer has to play counselor, diplomat, and technician. Broadcast engineers are the unseen and unheard heart of any radio station - without them, there would be dead air (or static).
I first got interested in Engineering Radio for the tales told about traveling to difficult transmitter sites, and the tricky and sometimes quirky problems Paul's faced in the past. For the geeks, there's posts about transmitters and antenna systems - how they work in the real world and how to keep them happy (gear needs love, too).
Unlike many radio engineers I've known, Paul also knows how to communicate. His blog is both funny and informative.
Lately, Engineering Radio's gotten quite critical of the notion that HD Radio is the medium's salvation. He's written posts debunking proponents' claims that the technology is still in "growth mode"; questioned the proprietary nature of iBiquity's system and, most recently, lampooned the company's announcement of HD's newest feature: "image support." That's just a fancy way of saying "radio with still pictures."
That particular concept is nothing new: shortwave pirates often begin and end broadcasts with slow-scan television images. Just because the resolution of still images and the speed with which they are broadcast will be higher in HD doesn't make the feature all that revolutionary.
One thing most critics of HD Radio fail to take into consideration is the big-picture perspective of the technology in our 21st century media environment. The policy and marketplace development of HD Radio is not a story of evil people doing stupid things, or stupid people doing evil things: characterizing the saga in such a manner fails to indict the system of policymaking which ignorantly allowed the radio industry to facilitate its self-immolation.
This process began with the passage of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, which fundamentally transformed the radio industry, giving a minority of players an inordinate amount of political and economic leverage to promulgate a digital audio broadcast standard simply not capable of competing in a convergent media environment.
The fight for - and incipient failure of - HD Radio in the United States will most likely be the lasting legacy of a wrongheaded law which unleashed consolidation and cost-cutting, turning radio away from its traditional strengths of localism and diversity, and transforming it into what is now a hollow husk of a mass medium.
The HD Radio policy proceeding also represents the capstone in a long history of the FCC ignoring or avoiding substantive questions of who and what represents 'the public interest," and clearly illustrates the agency's move away from basing policy on firm technical information toward purely economic rationales.
Having more sites like Engineering Radio online can only help to thicken the very justifiable criticism of HD Radio; it's easy to dismiss hyperbole, but less so to ignore facts and real-world observations compellingly documented by people who understand how the system actually works.
11/4/10 - Digital Radio Mondiale Proponents Organize in U.S. [link to this story]
A new web site has been launched to provide information on the idea of promulgating the use of Digital Radio Mondiale in North America.
The site grew out of a four-year old mailing list which originally began as a place for listeners to post logs of DRM signals. Notably, the site contains a bibliography of journal articles written about the technology.
So far the group's only superficially engaged in the change-process through comments on the reboot.fcc.gov site, but hey, you gotta start somewhere.
Although Digital Radio Mondiale - the newest of the three most prominent digital audio broadcast standards - is open source, covers all three broadcast bands, and provides the best bandwidth-for-performance efficiency improvement to the medium of radio, it is unlikely to find ready acceptance in the United States.
HD Radio - the U.S.' chosen DAB standard - is floundering. By design, the technology was unlikely to gain purchase in the marketplace, and this is painfully occurring. The most recent trends in digital media consumption point to a bleak future for HD.
Unfortunately, it'll take probably another ten years before the industry comes to grips with the fact that they bet on a losing horse, and the FCC's not independent-minded enough to readily explore all-digital alternatives to its blessed hybrid technology.
By that time, it'll be an open question as to whether radio as we've known it can maintain meaningfulness in a convergent media environment.

TEC report to support new norms on spectrum allocation1 min read . Updated: 28 Oct 2007, 01:40 PM IST
TEC report to support new norms on spectrum allocation
TEC report to support new norms on spectrum allocation
New Delhi: Telecom Engineering Centre, the technical wing of the DoT, is currently the centre of attention over its upcoming report on spectrum allocation and is understood to be in favour of increasing subscriber base for awarding additional radio waves.
Although TEC officials were tight-lipped over the report to be submitted to the Department of Telecom (DoT) on 30October, they said there was a case for tightening subscriber numbers for additional spectrum allocation.
However, they did not disclose whether the 2-6 times hike in user numbers, as suggested by telecom regulator TRAI and accepted already by DoT, would be incorporated in toto in the report.
There is a prima facie case for tightening the subscriber numbers but that would depend on the circle (metro, rural, tier-II cities) as demand for radio waves varies. In rural areas, for example, less spectrum is needed as subscribers are less and applications are less complex, a senior TEC official said.
Additional spectrum requirement depends on parameters like number of subscribers, the density of subscribers, morphology - urban, semi-urban, rural terrain, type of applications - voice, data, multimedia application, environment - type of mobility (fixed, pedestrian, vehicular) and the technology itself {2G (CDMA IS95A, GSM), 3G (WCDMA/CDMA2000), WiFi, WiMax}, the official said.
DoT has gone by the TRAI proposal of increasing subscribers number by 2-6 times for allocating additional spectrum beyond 4.4 MHz in case of GSM players and 2.5 Mhz for CDMA players.
GSM lobby group Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI) has challenged it in TDSAT saying the calculation of the industry regulator in arriving at the 2-6 times number of subscriber is erroneous and impratical.

As little girls some of us dream of Prince Charming and not Prince Harming. This hopeless romance becomes ingrained in our minds and maybe it's a combination of our own fault, Disney, society, and fairy tales. When we don't get our happy endings, we start to doubt ourselves. Are we good enough? Why can't I have that happy ending? Unfortunately life isn't always fair. Maybe there isn't someone for everyone. Maybe I'm just being negative because I'm tired of investing in friendships, dating and relationships that end up going nowhere or end up breaking my heart.

As if the coastal walk from Bondi Beach to Tamarama Beach in Australia wasn't picturesque enough, more than 100 sculptures by artists from around the world have been adding to the area's beauty as part of the annual Sculpture by the Sea event. One particularly striking example of the works is a translucent layered sculpture by Italian-born artist Alessandra Rossi called Untitled (coral). Rossi's piece was inspired in part by the troubling phenomenon of coral bleaching, which renders coral white and vulnerable to disease as a result of losing its main food source, algae. Coral bleaching occurs when waters become too warm. In Australia where Rossi is now based, coral bleaching has been increasing and can be devastating to the aquatic environment. The other inspiration for Rossi's piece is from a more interpersonal, human level. From far away, the tiered sculpture almost appears to be made of smooth, sleek glass, but it is actually a 3D printed acrylic material. Up close, the girl's figure and dejected-looking face are pixelated, which is meant to create a discussion around the emotional effects of technology and digital media in modern times and how they are influencing identity. The sculpture's appearance changes throughout the course of the day, with the colors varying depending on the angle at which visitors are standing as well as the light passing through it. According to Rossi, the piece can be seen "as a metaphor for the patination and discoloration of emotion engendered by the digital era." While Untitled (coral) is beautiful to look at, its allure goes beyond its changing surface. It accomplishes what art is intended to do: get its audience thinking on a deeper, more meditative level about the world around them. It's hard to look at Rossi's sculpture without thinking of the way that we can all disappear into a virtual world, ignorant or stubborn to observe what is occurring around us.

God bless Aunt Ruby. Though I had not seen her in AGES (!) I remember her as a very strong person, a very giving person, a very caring person. I remember her telling of how she and Uncle Pete had a close brush with a large boulder somewhere in the Rocky Mountains, I think, that nearly killed them (or at least shook them up!). I loved playing cards, too, with the gang when we got together when I was younger in another half life. Bless you all as you move on... Fondly, Brother Brad

Though there are so many niche sex dolls, like chubby or pregnant options, there is just something about the traditional, huge tit sex doll that so many people love. It's not just men, either. According to the New York Post, a woman from Manchester, England has spent over $12,000 in attempts to make herself look like a real-life sex doll.
31-year-old Cindy Moore is a mother of two who split from her fiancé last year when she found he was having an affair. She spent quite a few months focused on losing weight, and after a 70-pound difference, she spent $7,000 getting the boob job of her dreams. Since this surgery, she has only continued her transformation. She spends hundreds of dollars each month plumping her lips, has lost another 30 pounds and wears makeup to emphasize these features.
In just these past few months, Moore has gained thousands of followers across social media while she flaunts her new body for anyone interested to see. She loves how she looks, and she will continue to share her journey across social media.
Why did she do it?
The team at Play-Doll can't think of any reason she shouldn't have. Sex dolls are desired by people from all walks of life, and there is something about their perfect bodies and smooth skin that we can't get enough of. Moore knew what she wanted, and she took steps to get there. She now looks like the perfect silicon sex doll everyone wants to fuck.
Fortunately, there are sex doll options out there that don't cost $12,000. Play-Doll has some of the most realistic sex dolls on the market at an affordable price, which means you can even have the girl of your dreams just at the click of a mouse.

Where to Buy 2017: Tri-Lakes
2017 Commentary
The "north is just going crazy" was the word on the street in the real estate profession. But that doesn't quickly come to light when the numbers are viewed. Average appreciation was effectively identical to the MLS, and the price differential (Sales Price divided by List Price, the SP to LP column above) was a larger negotiation spread than the rest of the city. Amidst such an impressive year, it's hard to find that big gain in value supported by cold-hard numbers. But look a little deeper and it's there. King's Deer saw the probability of sale increase twofold in a single year. The 80132 and 80133 zip codes have an average price $170,000 above the citywide average, and yet almost 81% of all listings sold. That indicates a thirst among buyers to gobble up whatever sellers offered. Promontory Pointe has a five-year history of sales and now has lots of resales so that new construction area is included in this analysis. But Forest Lakes is not since the first contracts were only written in 2016. That's yet another place where $800,000 and up buyers found their next home in the northern part of the county.

Bent Tree/ Higby Estates
Bent Tree and Higby share Colonial Park as a street-in-common that winds it's way through the towering ponderosa forest a couple miles east of Lewis Palmer High School. This neighborhood of very large homes on 2.5 acre lots is uniformly well and septic. Privacy is a hallmark of the area due to the forest and lot sizes. There are some truly spectacular residences in this quiet stretch of trees. Homes with the greatest lasting value are updated: Many of the homes were built 20+ years ago and tend towards the traditional in layout and design.bent-tree
Fox Run/Fox Pines
Fox Run is alongside the county park of the same name and runs on both sides of Baptist Road. The sequel to Fox Run, The Sanctuary, saw ground breaking in 2016 with the first delivery of homes in 2017. Homes tend to be on large 0.4 to 0.67 acre lots. Most of the homes were built by Vantage, Keller and Ashcroft Homes from 1997 to 2000 with the occasional home from Acuff mixed in. A little less than half of the lots have custom homes on them which were built from 1998 to 2005. Location relative to Baptist Road impacts value as serenity, tranquility and privacy are highly prized. Views are pretty rare in this stretch but there are a couple of cul-de-sacs that have striking long-distance views of the Rampart Range. Access to Fox Run Regional Park is as east as walking our your door and heading east.fox-run
High Forest Ranch
High Forest Ranch was the first gated neighborhood in Black Forest. It was brought into the Lewis-Palmer District 38 School System in order to be constructed (it's the most southerly neighborhood in D38). The land features very gently rolling hills inside the ponderosa forest on variably sized lots, everything from 3 acres to a couple that are larger than 20 acres. There is a very small patch of treed impact on the southern edge of the neighborhood that represents the westerly advance of the 2013 Black Forest Fire. No homes were burned, but several hundred trees were lost across a handful of lots. The neighborhood features a lovely pond with trout and an HOA clubhouse. The gate is secured Monday through Saturday but by custom is open on Sundays for open houses. HOA dues are elevated due to all the amenities and they include private road maintenance.high-forest-ranch
Jackson Creek
The largest suburban neighborhood in Monument, Jackson Creek is in the southern portion of Monument near the Baptist Road King Soopers. Naturally, the area is not treed and trees have taken longer to establish at this elevation than in the "lowlands" of Briargate so lots tend to be more open. The average lot is in excess of 9000 square feet and that openness affords powerful views to the southwest of both the Air Force Academy and Pikes Peak. Homes tend to be traditional in design with two-stories and ranchers the majority of the floorplans. There are a couple small patio home neighborhoods as well.jackson-creek
King's Deer
The far northern part of the county gets some epic snow and set on the vast rolling hills of King's Deer it can be quite a sight. King's Deer has pockets of trees on the western and southern periphery but most of the lots are 2.5 acres of open, with walkouts found on almost every home due to the constantly rolling terrain. There are some positively enormous homes in King's Deer, a neighborhood that surrounds a public golf course. The golf course was closed in early 2014 due to costs, but was quickly purchased and rehabilitated by a King's Deer resident. HOA dues are fairly inexpensive and El Paso County maintains the roads.kings-deer
Promontory Pointe
Jackson Creek has a sequel as well which is neighboring Promontory Pointe. Promontory was built by Classic and Vantage with similar-sized lots and homes that are slightly larger than their Jackson Creek neighbors, and almost always stucco. There are also HOA dues and a bit more of a HOA-manicured look to Promontory. The name comes from the fact that as nice as the views are regularly in Jackson Creek, it's darn near impossible to not have a view in Promontory. The hillside juts out towards the west and the neighborhood wraps around it. Mostly cul-de-sacs with pockets parks, north of Baptist Road and immediately east of Jackson Creek.promontory-pointe
Woodmoor covers more acreage than any other neighborhood in the city. It has it's own water district and in some ways, functions with a degree of independent autonomy within the Monument area. Woodmoor's heritage comes from their role as the conservators of a prairie pine forest, and characteristically one of the items that Woodmoor's HOA cares most about is the pre-closing status letter, a letter which requires a member of the association to physically examine the lot, identify botanical contagions or dead limbs, and make sure that the house and lot passes to a new owner in good condition. It can be fairly political but in some ways, it's the essence of neighborhood stewardship. Woodmoor is characterized by the ponderosa pine forest and most lots are treed. All lots are big, usually 0.4 acres as a minimum. There are gently rolling hills throughout and some occasional, dramatic, long-distance views. We took the tact of arbitrarily dividing the neighborhood into three different segments because previous generations of our pricing software were overwhelmed by the size of data a big area like Woodmoor provides. It has actually made sense to do this as well as the northern segment tends to be the newest and priciest, the middle segment in the vicinity of the country club the next most expensive, and south of 105 tends to have the smallest houses and the least amount of trees so it's got a character all it's own.
Northerly Woodmoor
Our description of North starts at the northern boundary of County Line Road and goes south to Woodmoor Drive. It includes the 2.5 acres lots that abut King's Deer and are technically a small subdivions called Langtree.northerly-woodmoor
Central Woodmoor
The middle of the area stretches along Woodmoor Country Club and continues south to Highway 105.central-woodmoor
Southerly Woodmoor
The southern portion of the area has a northern boundary of Highway 105 and extends down to Higby Road on the southern end. This includes the eastern border of Lewis-Palmer High School.souhterly-woodmoor

Since her amazing rapid recovery from injury for her bid; and some say a-bit-too-rush, in participating in the recent Beijing Olympics Marathon, which she eventually finished 23rd, Paula Radcliffe is now testing her marathon training progress
She will take part in her first ever professional ten mile race at the BUPA Great South Run in Portsmouth, England. The event is to be flagged off on the October 26th
Paula had run a ten mile race before as a teenager and is said to finish just under the hour mark. This time round she will face a a quality field and fast course record that is held by Irishwoman Sonia O'Sullivan of 51:00 set in 2002
Paula Radcliffe has the potential to surpass the record as she held one of the fastest ten mile times ever recorded by a woman during her half-marathon competition in 2002 where she was split at an unofficial 50:01
This will be a great run-up to her New York City Marathon event where she is scheduled to defend her title on November 2nd

INTERNATIONAL DIVORCE, CUSTODY & Support Lawyer
There have been no fewer than 18 international conventions applicable to international divorce, custody and support arising from the Hague Conference on Private International Law (known as the Hague Conventions). The most recent & relevant include:
- Convention of 14 March 1978 on the Law Applicable to Matrimonial Property Regimes;
- Convention of 14 March 1978 on Celebration and Recognition of the Validity of Marriages;
- Convention of 25 October 1980 on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction;
- Convention of 29 May 1993 on Protection of Children and Co-operation in respect of Intercountry Adoption;
- Convention of 19 October 1996 on Jurisdiction, Applicable Law, Recognition, Enforcement and Co-operation in respect of Parental Responsibility and Measures for the Protection of Children;
- Convention of 23 November 2007 on International Recovery of Child Support and Other Forms of Family Maintenance;
- Protocol of 23 November 2007 on the Law Applicable to Maintenance Obligations.
Generally, international cooperation on family law has much improved in recent years. However, if you, your family property, your ex-spouse, or any of your children are located outside Canada at the time a family change is initiated, you should ask a lawyer to carefully consider three key questions:
- which jurisdiction's law applies to your case?
- how to resolve conflicts between Canadian and foreign law?
- how to enforce a foreign judgment in Canada, or how to enforce a Canadian judgment abroad?
Gordon S. Campbell has an extensive background in international law. He served as a delegate for Canada to United Nations and APEC meetings, led mutual legal assistance and extradition court proceedings for the Department of Justice, and holds a degree in international relations as well as degrees in common law and civil law.

Some of them came up with ridiculous suggestions that would just seem absurd to any visitor to the class. Through this brainstorming activity, the students learned that it is important that the spin they put on events needs to also appear to be reality.

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. officials say that after months of delay, the Trump administration is finalizing plans to revamp the nation's military command for defensive and offensive cyber operations. They say the intention is eventually to split it from the intelligence-focused National Security Agency in hopes of intensifying America's ability to wage cyber war against the Islamic State group and other foes.
Details are still being worked out, but officials say they expect a decision in the coming weeks. The officials weren't authorized to speak publicly on the matter so requested anonymity.
They say the goal is to give U.S. Cyber Command more autonomy, freeing it from any constraints that stem from working alongside the NSA. The NSA is responsible for collecting intelligence — a responsibility that can clash with military objectives.

Although a little lie in at the weekends has become a norm since the "kids" flew the nest I always struggle if the sun is streaming in from behind the blinds. So we decided to get up and about with The Lad for a gentle stroll and perhaps some breakfast…..would it be possible to even sit outside?
We headed off to Harrogate and arrived around 9.15 am, parking was easy but D was obviously feeling generous as she fed the meter even though it is free parking on Sundays. However on such a beautiful day such things just us make smile. We wandered around the stray taking pictures of the trees which were in the early but stunning stages of autumnal glory.
After 45 mins we ended up at one of our favourite deli's, Weetons and took a table outside. We ordered a mix of breakfast and Earl Grey tea (try it) and two full English breakfasts, at £9.50 each our expectations were high, no need to worry though as it was cooked to perfection and it tasted as good as it looked.
We decided to invite the kids for a late lunch. Weeton's has a fabulous delicatessen, cheese counter and bakery not forgetting to mention the choice of wines and chocolates on offer. Decision made, starter of olives with garlic and chilli, sweet garlic and freshly baked bread then pasta and meatballs for main followed by bannoffee pie and cream…£25 to feed six people..stuffed to the brim. What a lovely day.

Seeking a Better Grade
Published on HavanaTimes.org, by Erasmo Calzadilla, April 1, 2009.
Erasmo Calzadilla (writes): Now I'm 33 years old and teach philosophy at the University of Havana, but before I was a child and later a teenager in a neighborhood on the outskirts of the city of Havana. I was 20 when I began to study philosophy at that university. That's when for the first time I got to know the ambiance of the city, very, very different than that of my humble, marginal and conservative municipality. I fell in love with the liberal arts, history and philosophy, and it was after graduating that I began to re-channel my path towards what attracted me. Today I feel lucky: my hobby and my work are practically the same thing …
… For a long time (better said, for an entire lifetime), I have heard about the struggle between socialism and capitalism. The former, at least as we paint it, is a just, ethical, and above all humanistic social system, while the latter sacrifices everything for the profits of the powerful.
Seen in this manner, only a selfish, degenerate, son of a bitch could prefer the latter.
Fortunately, however, reality is not so simple. We have all had time to appreciate life under the construction of real socialism, where we have seen the centralization of power not in the hands of the workers, but in the managers. Ordinary people have been marginalized, left to play only the role of passive consumers of the system's benefits. If this marginalization of the masses continues, the level of alienation generated will ultimately prove to be self-destructive.
Since I don't like this form of socialism, but I don't want to completely give up on the idea of socialism either, I latched on to a good point made by Marx for attacking both capitalism and this variant of socialism. The key word is "alienation."
From this perspective, capitalism is not only deplorable in that it generates poverty, but is especially disgraceful in that workers do not possess any control over the productive process. They cannot recognize themselves in the fruits of a labor that wasn't of their choosing and which they perform only to earn a paycheck.
For this same reason, they never see themselves as the creators of the wealth that they consume, nor of the beauty that they enjoy, perpetuating in this way their practical and emotional dependence on capital. In short, capitalism -like all social systems in which the producers do not control the process of production- is alienating, since it prevents people from ultimately being their own bosses.
Socialism, at least the version that sparks my admiration, is not simply a system that distributes consumer goods equitably -even if that were the actual case- but one in which people become the true and concrete owners of the production process in which they expend their energies. In this scenario, they then become conscious generators of their life project, from the individual level to the broader collective realm.
Returning to the point, if under socialism, the managers make all the important decisions, but they do not explain their reasons to the "ordinary" working people, this will generate mass alienation, among a host of other problems. It undermines socialism, at least as I recognize that system … (full text).

Some of my favorites:
"Gay people have a different role than other minority groups... Very few black kids have ever had to worry about telling their parents that they were black"
"They're (congressional opponents) saying that my ability to marry another man somehow jeopardizes heterosexual marriage. Then they go out and cheat on their wives."
"The problem with the war in Iraq is not so much the intelligence as the stupidity."
"On what planet do you spend most of your time?" (in response to a critic at a healthcare town hall meeting)
I don't actually remember when I met Barney Frank. I just feel as though I have always known him. Always worked with him. As long as I have been trekking to Capitol Hill to seek fairness for the LGBT community, Barney's office was always my first, last and middle stop. We started working together during the AIDS crisis -- before he came out. Even then, he was aggressive, brave and strategic. Working with Ted Kennedy and Henry Waxman to get early money to fight the disease and protect the gay men who were being vilified on the floor of the House and Senate just for being sick.
For the next 25 years, Barney fought for us. When he burst out of the closet door in 1987, the splinters went flying. It was solely a testament to his intelligence, his passion, his commitment to a host of progressive causes and his loyalty to his colleagues and his constituents that he was so warmly embraced. It is hard to remember sometimes but that wasn't an incredibly safe and secure thing to do at the time. Public approval of gay people was pretty low, prejudice was still rampant and his career was on track to be Speaker, Senator, you name it. Nonetheless, he made the leap and he did it successfully.
It was because of Barney that the Americans with Disabilities Act protected people with HIV in the workplace. It is because of Barney that countless amendments taking away civil liberties for LGBT people did not pass the Congress and it is because of Barney, that the progress we have made as a community in the public is beginning to translate into good public policy. Sure there are others, both in and out of the Congress, but none with his intellectual heft, his raw political power and his unique ability to see the big picture.
Over the years, some in the LGBT community resented his all-powerful hold over our political agenda. They mistakenly thought that he was too unwilling to push his friends. I never felt that way. Just the opposite in fact. I felt more secure with him there. It is important to point this over the year's difference of opinion because now we will feel the true test of his absence. Has the groundwork been laid enough for him to leave? Is support for the LGBT community in good hands in Congress? We have a great Minority Leader Pelosi in the House, many friends and three smart and committed openly gay members of the House (one of whom, Tammy Baldwin we hope will be in the Senate next year). And in the Senate, Leader Reid has proven to be loyal and steadfast in his commitment. But Barney is in a class by himself. Time will tell of the impact of his leaving.
As for me, he will always be my dear friend. But I will miss his vote counting, his policy analysis, his creativity and his ability to cut the opposition in half without breaking an intellectual sweat. There won't be another like him.

You have probably already heard of it or are already in the midst of it; there is a nation-wide and international SNCF strike. So it is time for us to highlight our strike survival kit.
How do I know if my train is running?
If you still have a train to catch today, you can check SNCF Direct for real time information and updates. Please be aware that if you are catching a Renfe-SNCF train (e.g. Paris to Barcelona) your train information will not be displayed on this website. You will only be given a warning which says 'Train is not running'. This is not indicative of the trains' status and is a generic warning. So you will need to call SNCF on 3635 or speak to staff at a station to find out if your train has been cancelled or not.
Can I still use my ticket during the strike?
Yes. Luckily your ticket is valid for any other train during the day (for the same route), until the end of the strike and at no extra cost. However, there is no guarantee of seat. The strike started yesterday on June 10 at 19:00 and should cease after June 17. However, the strike is renewable so it could last longer than this. The special ticket and fare conditions will apply for the entire duration of the strike.
Can I cancel my ticket?
Yes. If your train is not running because of the strike then your ticket is fully refundable. Even if you have a non-refundable ticket such as a Prem's then you will still be completely reimbursed. To take advantage of these friendly refund conditions, please contact us directly via email and we will be glad to assist you. Please note that we can only process refunds for bookings that have been made through Capitaine Train.

Why Does Phonics Work?: Process vs. Declaration.
Albert, Elaine
Reading is a skill--learning how the alphabet works by using it. Learning how to do it involves practice in building letters into words. As the decoding process is practiced, phonics moves into long-term storage. Building the skill of reading has the same 4 aspects as developing other skills: (1) the beginner uses the motion of his vocal organs to repeat the sounds the letters represent; (2) once the beginner discovers how to build 3-letter words with the short vowel, succeeding steps are merely variations on the first step; (3) the first early discovery of how to build those 3-letter words may be startlingly rapid; and (4) once the skill has been obtained it is not forgotten. In contrast, there is the look-say or whole word method in which recognition is factual, declarative. While look-say victims turn up in fourth grade unable to read more difficult texts, phonics users have moved on into reading whatever is available. (RS)

Very unique distressed french provincial style coffee and side tables in a light cream with a white wash. Bring an old world look and charm into your home with these pieces.
Coffee table H 16″ L 40″ D 21 3/4″
Side tables H 22″ L 28″ D 18″
By Jen
I've always loved beautiful and unique furniture but I could never find just the right piece for me in the Burlington area.
One day I rescued a used dresser headed to the dump and thought "What if I painted it?"
My love affair with furniture refinishing was born.
We have enough garbage on this planet already — we certainly don't need to add more. And yet, while new furniture pieces are being made by the thousands (usually out of pressboard and veneer, it seems) people are throwing out good quality, solid wood furniture because they just don't like "the look" anymore. With the help of […]
It's not all about finding pieces ready for the trash or searching out what others have outgrown and are ready to get rid of. Sometimes people know that they have good quality furniture but they just don't care about it anymore. Others have antiques or vintage pieces that have been passed down through the family, and although […]

We're coming up on Fat Tuesday, which means many are looking for Mardis Gras shows before they calm down for Lent. Or maybe folks just want another reason to party. Anyway, I've listed a couple, and there'll be at least one Brazilian style Carnaval next weekend. But right now, you have lots of music for the week. Have fun!
Wednesday, February 6
Connie Evingson @ The Women's Club Lounge, Minneapolis. 6pm – 8pm. ($10) Tanner Taylor on piano, and Dave Karr on sax will accompany Ms Evingson in the cozy confines of the Women's Club Lounge. Open to non-members. Cocktails and appetizers are available.
Evan Montgomery Quintet @ Jazz Central, Minneapolis. 9pm. ($7) Evan Montgomery is a guitarist who uses clean lines and a fertile imagination to create original music as well as arrangement of Radiohead covers, Bill Frisell tunes, and others. Expect some guitar fireworks as he is joined by Park Evans, another creative guitarist. Other members of the quintet are Adam Meckler, trumpet; Matt Peterson, bass; and Jay Epstein, drums.
Thursday, February 7
Fuzzy Math @ 318 Cafe, Excelsior. 8pm ($6) The 318 Cafe is a cozy space, with room for about 40 people or so. It's a bit of a trip to get out there if you're a city-dweller, but omnivorous music fans who find their way to Excelsior will be rewarded with jazz-oriented music that has swing, funk, and latin influences.
Phil Hey Quartet @ The Artists' Quarter, Saint Paul. 9pm ($5, 2-4-1 cover after 11pm) Simply the best jazz ensemble in town. Their repertoire includes tunes by Bobby Hutcherson, Ornette Coleman, Mingus, and Trane. It's heady music by veterans who could swing the National Anthem, if called upon. The ringleader is Phil Hey on drums, with significant contributions by Dave Hagedorn on vibes, Phil Aaron on piano, and Tom Lewis on bass.
Friday, Saturday, February 8,9
Bryan Nichols Trio @ The Artists' Quarter, Saint Paul. 9pm ($10) Includes the Bates Brothers Pianist/composer/teacher Nichols creates intriguing tunes and improvisations. Tonight he's joined by Chris Bates on bass, and JT Bates on drums. This combination is a good at communicating as any trio, creating lots of unexpected twists and turns.
Patty Peterson & Friends @ Bunkers, Minneapolis. 9:30pm ($10 ) Patty is bringing along special guests Steve Cole on sax and Ricky Peterson on B3, not to mention regular friends including Paul Peterson on bass, Billy Franze on guitar, and Bobby Vandell on drums. Patty is just as likely to dip into an R&B mode as jazz, but it's all good, as they say. Given the venue, I'm sure some tunes will provoke dancing.
Saturday, February 9
Thomson Harris Collective @ Studio Z, Lowertown Saint Paul. 5pm Workshop (Free), 7pm Performance ($10) Chris Thomson on sax, and Zacc Harris, guitar, are collaborating on a new group, which includes a rotating cast of rhythm players, which tonight includes two younger players, Brian Courage on bass and Miguel Hurtado on drums. Thomson will hold a free workshop at 5pm on Melody Matters: the Common Pitfalls of Jazz Improvisation. Attendees get $2 off the 7pm show.
Monday, February 11
Dave Graf Quartet @ Jazz Central, Minneapols. 8:30pm (Donation) Dave Graf is one of the premier trombone players in town. His warm, burnished sound is equally at home in Latin, jazz, or show settings. He'll be accompanied by Chris Lomheim, piano; Matt Peterson, bass; and Mac Santiago, drums. The results are sure to be uplifitng.
More listings for Twin Cities jazz can be found at KBEM and at Jazz Police. Jazz Police also features jazz commentary as well, as do Bebopified, and Jazz Ink.
Roots, Blues, Other…
Thursday, February 7
Jack Klatt Send-off and CD Release @ The Dubliner, Saint Paul. 5:30pm – 7:30pm Klatt is going South on a solo tour for many months, but before he does, he'll be picking up copies of his new solo CD and playing at the Dubliner, along with his pal Mikkel Beckman on washboard. Expect some blues, rags, early Americana, and maybe a bit of swing.
Medicinal Jazz Band @ The Black Dog, Saint Paul. 7:30pm – 10:30pm (Tip Jar) Jazz, Klezmer, and Dixieland from Noah Strom on accordion and keys and Sam Ryan on guitars and vocals.
Friday, February 8
Funk & Soul All-Stars and Derobe Dance Band @ Icehouse, Minneapolis. 10pm ($10) The Secret Stash Records guys are upping the ante, bringing out the Funk & Soul All-Stars one more time, featuring Maurice Jacox and the Valdons. The Derobe Dance Band is another Secret Stash band, playing danceable Afrobeat rhythms. After the reception that the All-Stars got a the Current shindig at First Avenue, it's expected there will be a crowd, and the folks at the Icehouse are taking the chairs and tables out, so be forewarned.
Paul Cebar @ Lee's Liquor Lounge, Minneapolis. 9pm ($10) The Dance-Happy folks who've been following Paul for twenty years along with new converts, will turn Lee's dance floor into a writhing mass of joy.
Saturday, February 9
Crankshaft & the Gear Grinders CD & Vinyl Release Party @ Famous Dave's, Minneapolis. 9pm ($6) The new album of all-original tunes was recorded in the hayloft of a barn in St. Francis, and the acoustics perfectly fit Crankshaft's rockin' roots/blues. A couple of tunes feature horns, giving them a New Orleans vibe. Kudos to Crankshaft and his Gear Grinders, Keith Boyles on bass and Pete Hennig on drums.
Monday, February 11
Vusi Mahlasela @ The Dakota, Minneapolis. 7pm ($25) He's simply known as "The Voice" in his home country of South Africa. At times you can hear sweet traces of Sam Cooke, though Vusi has his own take, which includes optimistic, and sometimes intense readings of songs about liberation and freedom. Here's a video of one of his songs.
Tuesday, February 12
Jack Brass Band @ Amsterdam Bar & Hall, Saint Paul. 9pm. (Tip Jar) It's Fat Tuesday, traditionally the final night of Mardis Gras as folks do the last of their celebrating before Lent begins. The Amsterdam not only has JBB, a too-much-fun group that marched in a New Orleans Mardis Gras parade this year, but they'll be serving Abita Beer, from Louisiana, and they'll have a crawfish boil as well.
Sixth Annual Mardis Gras @ the Eagles Club, Minneapolis. 7pm – 11pm. ($12) In the other half of the Twin Cities, you can celebrate Fat Tuesday with four bands covering the whole spectrum of Louisiana music as well as Cajun Cuisine. In order of appearance, you get The Faux Playboys, Mister Rowles, The Southside Aces, and the always Rockin' Pinecones.
Paul Collins' Beat @ The Turf Club, Saint Paul. 9pm ($8) If you aren't looking for a Mardis Gras celebration, you want to check out the American rock and power pop of Paul Collin's Beat. Collins started The Beat in Los Angeles back in the late 70s, and resurrected the band as the Paul Collins' Beat in 2006. With the Magnolias and the Pinsch.

Detectable after 7 years
Sep 11, 2016
Hello Dr. I'm writing from México again, the last time my question was this: I've been positive for 6 years but I have been never undetectable the following are my results: January 2013 VL 176 log 2.2, CD4 1370 37% August 2015 VL 89 log 1.95, CD4 864.57 26.94% February 2016 CV 223 log 2.35, CD4 1320.2 34% I have been with the same treatment because my VL is not enough for a test of resistance. Now in September 2016 my results are: CD4 33.32% 1282.49 and VL 37 log 1.57. My dr told me that we have to continue with the same medicines. Whats your opinion about those results? Please and a thank you.
Response from Dr. Holodniy
You don't indicate what HIV meds you are taking. That said, your CD4 count and percent have been very stable in the normal range despite the persistence of a very low HIV viral load. It is true that your HIV viral load is too low to do a resistance test in the blood plasma. I don't know if this test is available in Mexico, but there is a resistance test that can be performed from the cells in the blood to determine what resistant virus, if any, might be present. This test could help determine whether a change in medication would be required. Because your HIV viral load has never significantly increased and persisted, it makes it very difficult to know what to do. There are 3 possibilities. Add an additional drug to the current combination. Change the complete combination, or do nothing. What your doctor says is not unreasonable given the stable CD4 count and percent over the last several years. It's not optimal, as having the viral load undetectable is what is desired. But that is only going to happen with a change in meds.

On several occasions, Governor Pawlenty has made false statements that were critical of Minneapolis and Mayor Rybak's fiscal discipline. At a time when the State budget is again in chaos, Governor Pawlenty should not be giving financial advice, especially when that advice is based on misinformation. Minneapolis' fiscal prudence stands up against the State's any day.
In particular, Gov. Pawlenty has commented on Minneapolis' plan to build public drinking fountains that are designed by artists. I'd like to assert a little bit of truth about these public art drinking fountains.
First of all, the drinking fountains in question are funded with dedicated revenue streams that are completely separate from the City's General Fund and have nothing to do with the amount of local government aid (LGA) the City gets from the State. Here's how the ten fountains are funded:
- Each year, Minneapolis dedicates 1% of its capital bonding budget (around $250,000) to public art. The capitol budget is used for public infrastructure (buildings, streets, etc.) and has nothing to do with LGA, which goes into the City's General Fund to pay for things like police officers and fire fighters. Each year, the Minneapolis Arts Commission recommends to City leadership how they think those funds should be spent. 2008 was Minneapolis' 150th birthday and Mayor Rybak suggested that the Commission focus the public art dollars onto one, unified project celebrating our "city of waters" instead of dividing the money into various disconnected projects. The Commission agreed and approved the Mayor's idea of functional, practical, public art drinking fountains.
- In order for the drinking fountains to be functional, they must be connected to the City's water supply. Therefore, $250,000 (50% of the total cost) for the fountains also comes from a dedicated Water Fund. The source of this Fund is a water fee that is paid for by property owners (residential and business) and can only be used for things related to our water supply. The size and purpose of the City's Water Fund has nothing to do with LGA or the City's General fund.
Even if the City cut all funding for these drinking fountains and cut all funding for all public art, the LGA cuts the Governor has proposed would have the exact same impact on the city. None of the funds for these fountains can be used for higher priorities like police officers, snow plowing, or emergency response. The State also has a capital bonding budget that is separate from other budgets, so presumably Gov. Pawlenty understands the difference between these funds. Why Gov. Pawlenty continues to point to this as an example of something Minneapolis could cut to compensate for lost LGA is a mystery to me.
Secondly, it is important to remember that funding for public art is completely and totally appropriate and Minneapolis is hardly the only level of government involved in this effort. The arts are a significant contributor to our region's economy and art is funded by city, county, metro, state, and federal levels of government. The $250,000 in funds the City of Minneapolis spends each year on public art is a tiny sum, given the important role the arts play in our community.
By comparison, the State of MN spends about $10.2 Million every year on art through the State Arts Board and Regional Arts Councils, and has done this for decades. I'm pretty sure that I or anyone could go through that $10 million and find some project I didn't like or that I thought Gov. Pawlenty shouldn't be funding. The fact of the matter is, public funding for the arts not only leverages significant private dollars, but also contributes to our economy and quality of life. The overwhelming decision by Minnesota voters in 2008 to constitutionally dedicate state funding for the arts is a clear testament to the solid public support for publicly funded art.
Attacks from Gov. Pawlenty and others on these Minneapolis public art drinking fountains are not only hypocritical, but have nothing to do with the issues at hand. These attacks are a diversion from the fact that Minnesota's budget has not had the same long term fiscal stewardship as Minneapolis has had. For too long, Governor Pawlenty has used short term budget fixes and avoided making fiscally responsible choices. This year's State fiscal crisis, like the one that happened in 2003, and one we can probably expect a few years from now, could have been partly avoided if the Governor adopted some of the long term fiscal management that has helped us restore fiscal stability to the City of Minneapolis. Instead of attacking Mayor Rybak and Minneapolis, perhaps Gov. Pawlenty could learn something about how balanced budgets are really managed.

It has been shown that half-frequency whirl is influenced by orifice location, number of grooves, groove location, and so on. This paper presents test results which show the effect of geometry on the threshold of half-frequency whirl. The following bearing configurations were tested: (a) Plain journal bearings with one orifice centrally located; (b) grooved journal bearings with two axial grooves; (c) grooved journal bearings with three axial grooves; (d) grooved journal bearings with three axial grooves and six orifices. In addition, load-carrying capacity and attitude angle for the plain cylindrical and the two and three axial-groove bearings with two groove positions are given.
