Last week, when I woke up to the news about the shutting down of the federal government, I began searching for answers. Like many, I feared that the pundits who predicted the shutdown would last only a couple days would be proven wrong. After all, the coalition of tea party congressmen who are libertarian to the core have little to lose by playing hard ball.
In this respect, the hard right has a lot in common with the far left. "Occupiers" look different, and may value different things, but the most dedicated have little to lose. Their generation is chronically under employed and disenfranchised by the yawning gap in the job market for their education or skills. For members of the Occupy movement, like their tea party counterparts, disrupting the status quo has little personal consequence. If Bloomberg hadn't commanded the NYPD to step it up, there would still be a lot of sleeping bags in Zuccotti Park.
In essence, one side's anger is directed at government, the other's at business. Each side passionately believes that reigning in one or the other is the avenue toward what almost all of us want -- a more prosperous economy, and a thriving middle class to support both our economy and democracy. (And to consider the common roots of these disparate movements, look no further than Robert Reich's analysis of the decline of the middle class, brought to life in a remarkable new documentary: "Inequality for All.")
What has become of our center? If history is any guide, business leaders themselves have a critical role to play. At inflection points like this one, for purely commercial reasons, business has been an important moderating, and even progressive, force. In business, common sense trumps ideology. But much more business "civitas" is needed now and in the years to come.
Last week, the Aspen Institute honored five pioneering business faculty and brought them together with 40 faculty and administrators from top business schools. The gathering was designed as an exchange of ideas about exemplary teaching that mines the tensions between private incentives and the public welfare, and that helps students consider real time issues with both economic and social implications.
The crowd was decidedly pro-market. But there was a surprisingly broad consensus about the need for business schools to better prepare students to navigate the interplay between business and government. Sally Blount, Dean of the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern, observed that "on the one hand [we] celebrate markets - but divorce them from the [structures] that make them possible - i.e., our legal and regulatory environments." She believes a key lesson from the 2008 economic crisis is the need for the public and private sectors to work together.
And front-line business school faculty are moving quickly beyond good intentions.
• Clayton Rose at the Harvard Business School is teaching a case study of the LIBOR scandal through the lens of Barclays - exploring the decisions of everyone from traders on the Money Market desk, to then-CEO Bob Diamond, to British regulators. At the heart of the case are questions about the responsibilities to the system - a system that even the NY Fed had pointed out, pre-scandal, was antiquated and in need of revamping.
• Mauro Guillén at Wharton, one of Aspen's 2013 award-winning faculty, teaches "International Political Economy of Business Environments" - in which he prompts students to consider how firms interact with government and the law around the globe. Through comparative study, students gain insights into how different legal and regulatory contexts shape our most fundamental ideas about business - including the nature of competition, innovation, and even profit.
• David Besanko, one of Aspen's 2013 Faculty Pioneer finalists, teaches "Public Economics for Business Leaders." Professor Besanko leads Kellogg MBA students to examine value creation more deeply, including the comparative advantages of both government and the private sector, given the limitations of each. When are market-based solutions fair and efficient and when does government deliver a better solution?
It is unlikely these teaching innovations in our nation's business schools will have much of an impact on the world views of either the tea party or the Occupiers any time soon. But it can, in time, build the common ground for more common sense and less rancor at both government and business, regardless of political stripes. Business education, given its scale and reach, has the potential rebuild trust between the two, and to ask, instead, under what circumstances can each work at its best?

Love these tires. Purchased 9 yrs ago and still running strong.
Great tire. I have used this tire since the original tires needed replacement.
Just checked the tread preparing for a winter trip - had noticed a touch of slip on a wet road. Didn't think I needed tires based on a prior conversation with a dealer 6 months ago. Checking the receipt, I found out I purchased the tires 5 years ago and had them put on at 80,000. I currently have 175,000. Could not believe it, so I rechecked my receipts. Never put air in, never had a flat and went everywhere with confidence - never had such good mileage wear - and get good mileage. Still, gonna get a new set this winter - same thing. Love'm!!!
I find these tires to be very good in the winter.
I love these tires, they are safe, effective and so quiet I forget I'm driving a truck. I just purchased a new set of OEM Michelins for my 2007 Honda Ridgeline and I'm very happy... you will be too!
These have been the best tires that I have ever purchased. I am in need of new tires again but my vehicle has very high mileage and is getting up there in years of service. But I'm hopeful that the next set of tires that I purchase will give the high mileage that these gave me.
Been a very smooth riding tire. I've never had it on snow so not sure how it would handle.
Excellent tire for my 2002 Ford Ranger 4X4. I purchased a set of Michelin LTX M/S tires shortly after purchasing this truck. There are 65,000 plus miles on this set of tires and I expect to get another 5,000 miles before I purchase a new set.
I have recommended these tires to family, friends, contractors, and co-workers. These are the best tires I've ever purchased!
GREAT tires!! This is the third set that I have bought over the years for two different vehicles. One of the best overall tires I've ever owned.
The service was OUTSTANDING!
These were the best tires I have ever had. Great traction and they lasted a very long time even with the off road driving that I do. I got over 100,000 kms out of them and still have 30% left.

"The most recent Environment Canada data show that nearly 40 percent of Canada's greenhouse gas emissions came from just 563 individual operations, mainly power plants, refineries and cement plants. They should be contributing their fair share towards meeting our commitments to slash GHG and avoid going above 1.5 degrees C global average temperature, as promised in Paris. Instead, those big polluters located in provinces that have refused to create their own carbon tax will have a special rate based on a complex pricing mechanism using energy intensity and an average of industry emissions," said Ms. May.
"With hundreds of millions of dollars a year in federal subsidies still going to the fossil fuel industry - which successive Canadian governments have promised to phase out since 2009 - the Trudeau government is already breaking its promise to Canadians," added Green Party climate critic and meteorologist Richard Zurawski. "The new proposal to give carbon tax breaks to the largest polluters is yet another squandered opportunity to show real leadership in the fight against climate change."

If passed, the bill would come into force on July 1, 2019 and increase annually by 3.5 pct over inflation. The tax would raise about $1.5 billion over the first two years and an estimated $3.3 billion over the next four years.
Half of the revenue from the tax -- which would be paid by power plants and fuel importers but would ultimately come down on consumers -- would be used to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, such as programs to expand opportunities for renewable energy at both homes and utilities, and research of clean energy technology. An additional 35 pct would go into flood management and storm water infrastructure, and would also be used to reduce risks of wildfires.
It's estimated the tax could result in a residential electricity price increase of about 5 percent, a residential gas price increase of about 10 percent; gasoline prices could rise between 6 to 9 percent by 2035, according to policy officials briefing.

The U.S. DOE Bioenergy Technologies Office has consequently identified the need for technologies to be developed for the efficient use of lignin as a key target for accelerating the growth of the U.S. bioeconomy.
To address this challenge, a team comprising Oak Ridge National Laboratory, the University of Tennessee's Center for Renewable Carbon, University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, the Natural Resource Research Institute, Long Trail Sustainability, and Attis' research and development unit, American Science and Technology Corporation, presented the U.S. Department of Agriculture with a pathway based on Attis' technology to allow biorefineries to compete with petroleum.
That pathway relies on Attis' patented and patent-pending AST-Organosolv process to fractionate biomass into cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, followed by the conversion of cellulose and hemicellulose into biofuel (butanol), and the conversion of lignin into acrylonitrile-butadiene-lignin (ABL Resin) using technology developed and patented by Oak Ridge National Laboratory and licensed to Attis.

Working with local industry partners Sasol UK and Ingenza Ltd, the University researchers developed a process that enables the E. coli bacterium to act as a very efficient carbon capture device. When the bacteria containing the FHL enzyme are placed under pressurized CO2 and hydrogen gas mixtures -- up to 10 atmospheres of pressure -- a 100 pct conversion of the CO2 to formic acid is observed. The reaction happens over a few hours and at ambient temperatures. The "microbial cell factory" could be used to mop up CO2 from many types of industry.
Not only capturing CO2 but storing or recycling it is a major issue. There are millions of tonnes of CO2 being pumped into the atmosphere every year. For the UK alone, the net emission of C02 in 2015 was 404 million tonnes. There is a significant question of where can we put it all even if we capture it, with current suggestions including pumping it underground in to empty oil and gas fields, according to the researchers release.

A 2016 EU-funded study found that biodiesel produced from palm oil was three times more polluting than traditional diesel. In 2017, MEPs voted on a resolution urging the European Commission to phase-out the use of vegetable oils in biofuels by 2020. They also called for a single certification scheme to guarantee only sustainably produced palm oil enters the EU market.
According to the ethanol trade group ePURE Secretary General Emmanuel Desplechin."The (European) Parliament needs to send a clear message that not all biofuels are created equal. It is time for the European Parliament to put into law the resolution on palm oil it adopted last spring and stop promoting the use of palm oil and derivatives in biofuels. Crucially, ethanol is not responsible for any of the concerns associated with palm oil cultivation,"
The proposed ban on palm oil still faces hurdles however, starting with a political agreement from the 28 EU member states, which will be required to finalise the adoption of the revised renewable energy directive.
There are still concerns however that the EU's bioenergy policy might lead to deforestation -- especially when it comes to "solid biomass" that is sometimes burned to generate electricity.
The EC's sustainability criteria for biomass includes imports of wood pellets from Canada and the US, which are produced from round trees and are shipped to Europe for burning in power plants.

The University is considering expanding the 21-acre solar farm to help meet renewable-energy goals outlined in the Illinois Climate Action Plan (iCAP)underwhich the campus is expected to be "carbon neutral" by 2050.
The university has a 10-year PPA with Phoenix Solar LLC, which built and operates the farm. In 2016, the university paid almost $1.4 million to Phoenix Solar for the farm, when it produced almost 7,300 MWh hours of electricity.
The university hopes to eventually produce 25,000 MWh of solar power under iCAP.

Through innovation in water heating, an insulated slab, attic insulation, the HVAC and solid, panelized wall systems, the house uses a consistent amount of energy throughout the day.
Meritage Homes also partnered with Duke Energy and the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) to design a way to monitor the home and understand the energy use. According to EPRI, a home with the same square footage as the reNEWable Living Home would use 23,910 kWh annually. By using the DOE BeOpt software, the advances of the reNEWable Living Home reduce that by 30 pct to only 16,887 kWh per year.
This 30 pct deduction was captured with 100 pct LED lighting, using a heat pump water heater, insulating the slab at an R10 value, using R30 closed cell spray foam insulation in the roof, installing a SEER 18, 9.3 HSPF HVAC system and using the HercuWAll ICF 4-inch solid panelized wall system.

While CFCs and other ozone-depleting substances were phased out by the mid-1990s, the study notes that the Antarctic ozone hole -- first discovered in 1985 -- "is healing slowly" because the man-made substances that caused the hole in the first place "have 50 - 100 year lifetimes."
Accordingly, researchers believe that it could be several decades before the ozone hole is eliminated altogether.

Akron-based FirstEnergy Corp. played a major role in the reduction. While it has continued to operate its two nuclear plants that don't emit any meaningful carbon, the company closed several coal-fired power plants in Ohio and boosted its use of renewable energy.
The decline is attributed to the advent of cheap shale gas which has caused new natural gas power plants to come online in Ohio and nearby states that sell their power into Ohio on a shared electric power grid. That's all while companies like FirstEnergy have shuttered coal plants that can't compete economically with natural gas-fired plants.
In 2005, approximately 88 pct of Ohio's electric power was coal generated. Today it is closer to 50 pct, according the the EIA.
Over 60 generation units at about 20 coal-fired plants have been closed down in Ohio since 2010.

Favorite Podcasts of 2018
At this juncture, I have a deep and abiding love for podcasts. I listen to them most mornings as a part of my morning routine. Here is a list of my favorites of the year in no particular order some of which I faithfully listen to each week and some of which I check in on when a topic or guest catches my eye. Some pods have been long time favorites but a couple are newer to my ever-growing subscription list. My interests can be gleaned pretty easily from this list: wellness, friendship, self-care, progressive politics, beauty, and lifestyle topics from a WOC/ Black women perspective.
Hey Girl by Alex Elle
Description: "hey, girl. is a podcast that unites the voices of phenomenal women near and far. Created with sisterhood and storytelling in mind, author Alex Elle sits down with people who inspire her. From friends to family members and strangers, the hey, girl. guests give us a peak into their stories through candid and intimate conversations."
Notable Episode: Bee on Stepping into Vulnerability was a very insightful episode that is a must-listen
The Friend Zone
Description: "Listen along every Wednesday as Dustin Ross, HeyFranHey & Assante explore mental health, mental wealth and mental hygiene, because who in the hell wants a musty brain?"
Notable Episode: Another show that is hard to choose just one favorite of the year, but Keep That Same Energy - Featuring Maryam Hasnaa was a recent favorite.
Still Processing
Description: "Step inside the confession booth of Wesley Morris and Jenna Wortham, two culture writers for The New York Times. They devour TV, movies, art, music and the internet to find the things that move them — to tears, awe and anger. Still Processing is where they try to understand the pleasures and pathologies of America in 2018."
Notable Episode: So many good episodes, but one that I recall as a favorite among many was: We Heard Lauryn Hill, But Did We Listen?
Thirst Aid Kit
Description: "Lust is a feeling. Thirst is the performance of that feeling. Join Bim Adewunmi and Nichole Perkins as they explore the public ways women express their desire, particularly in this moment when we are all asking more pointed questions about Hollywood, representation, and opportunity. Examine why we desire who we desire through conversation, original fanfic, and fantasies that take us by surprise...like a lion would a gazelle."
Notable Episode: I can't pick just one! Just choose an episode and listen to the hosts dish about why they lust after our favorite celebrity crushes.
Forever 35
Description: "Which night creams will make you look well-rested, how long can you really last on Whole30, can emptying your closet actually bring you joy, and is the Hanacure mask really just intended to get you to post an unflattering photo of your face mid-mask on Instagram? These are the kinds of self-care questions that wellness addicts and writers Kate Spencer and Doree Shafrir discuss each week, along with a special guest."
Notable Episode: Bath of Least Resistance with author Jasmine Guillory was a favorite episode altough I enjoyed so many of them over the course of the year
Call Your Girlfriend
Description: "Call Your Girlfriend is a podcast for long-distance besties everywhere co-hosted by Aminatou Sow and Ann Friedman, and produced by Gina Delvac. Every week, Aminatou and Ann call each other to discuss the intricacies of pop culture and the latest in politics. We're highbrow and lowbrow, fiercely opinionated, and not afraid to realtalk each other about everything from menstrual cycles and body shaming to the Cheeto in Chief and workplace drama with devastating wit …We're here for every facet of women's humanity."
Notable Episode: This is a super long time favorite podcast, so I don't miss an episode, but a recent favorite would be: Post Mid-term Decompression
Small Doses by Amanda Seales
Description: "Your favorite truth teller, comedian, Amanda Seales, is dropping gems with, "Small Doses," a weekly podcast that brings you potent truths for everyday use."
Notable Episode: The Side Effects of Travel Featuring Demetria Lucas was a favorite because I adore them both.
Naked Beauty
Description: "Unfiltered talk about beauty trends, tips, and products, hosted by Brooke DeVard Ozaydinli, with the girls who get it."
Notable Episode: I love every episode and learn so much from all of Brooke's guests, but the Self-healing & Minding your Business Ft. Aala episode is a recent stand-out.
Balanced Black Girl
Description: "Putting black girl magic in motion, the Balanced Black Girl Podcast provides a dose of real-life wellness for women of color. Join host Lestraundra Alfred and guests for candid conversations about health, happiness, and life. This show aims to reimagine wellness and self-care to make them feel real and approachable for all."
Notable Episode:
Because I can't listen to podcasts 24/7, I don't listen to these everyday but check in from time to time.
Food Heaven Podcast
The Nod
Revisionist History
Lovett or Leave It
Brown Ambition
Black Girl in Om

The 1, 2, 3's of Filing an Intent to Graduate
Filing an Intent to Graduate is the only way the Graduate School will know that you've finished your degree requirements and are ready to be awarded the degree. To determine when you should file your intent, please contact your department to review your degree requirements. The Intent to Graduate should be filed for the semester in which you'll complete your degree requirements, which may or may not correspond with the May ceremony.

Filing your Intent to Graduate takes a number of steps:
- Login to your MyUNH account.
- Select the "Student" Tab.
- Select Student Records -> Graduation -> Apply to Graduate.
- Select the most current term from the list and click Submit.
- Select the program that you are filing the Intent for and hit Continue. If you are earning more than one degree (e.g. MS and Certificate) you will need to file a separate Intent for each one.
- If you receive a "No curricula available" error, use the View Application to Graduate option to see if your Intent has already been filed. If not, or if you need to change your Intent, please contact the Graduate School.
- Select your intended graduation semester (Spring (May), Summer (September), Fall (December)). This is the date you expect to have all of your degree requirements completed.
- If applicable, select if you plan to attend the May ceremony. Please note that the Registrar's Office uses this to get a rough head count. If you plan to attend, you'll still need to officially register to do so. Please review the attendance eligibility requirements before registering.
- On the subsequent questions, please verify your diploma name (for changes, contact the Registrar's Office directly), contact email, and diploma mailing address.
- Save or print the final confirmation screen for your records. No other confirmation will be sent.
- You can verify that your Intent was filed by using the View Application to Graduate option.
- If completing a thesis or dissertation, you may submit a copy to our office for review of formatting requirements up to 2 weeks before final submission is due. Remember to review the thesis and dissertation checklist before submitting the final document.
- Verify with your advisor and department that you've met all degree requirements to graduate.
- File your Intent to Graduate by the published deadline.
- Verify your account balance is paid in full. You will not be issued a diploma until your account is clear.

BATON ROUGE — A Louisiana woman is suing a debt collector, alleging misrepresentation in collection.
Jennifer Wagley filed a lawsuit May 19 in U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Louisiana against Retail Merchants Association, Inc. alleging violation of the Federal Fair Debt Collect Act.
According to the complaint, on May 20, 2015, Wagley received a letter from the defendant, with its letterhead clearly stating Credit Bureau of Louisiana, when that is not its name. The suit says the defendant is collecting debts under multiple illegal names, causing Wagley to suffer damages to her great detriment and loss.
The plaintiff alleges the defendant used business names other than its own and collected debts under three different names other than its own.
Wagley seeks a trial by jury, actual damages, statutory damages, legal costs and reasonable attorney fees, plus allo other relief as is deemed necessary, just and proper. She is represented by attorney Jonathan Raburn of The Raburn Law Firm in Baton Rouge.
U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Louisiana Case number 3:16-cv-00334

Week ahead in business and finance
Schroders confirmed last week that it is in talks with Lloyds over a wealth management tie-up as the City fund giant attempts to ride out volatile market conditions.
Its shares are struggling at their lowest level since 2016 as concerns about the trade war between the US and China, and rising interest rates at the Federal Reserve, grip markets. Peter Harrison, the company's chief executive, said at the interim stage that Schroders was delivering "robust revenue growth" amid a "challenging backdrop".

Taxi To Paris may be odd because of how the two characters meet and all the non-romantic aspects to their first encounter, yet it becomes a very endearing, even beautiful, odd as the novel moves slowly and it does move slowly, though 'good' slowly from something pedestrian to something special.

Bad design is everywhere, and its cost is much higher than we think. In this thought-provoking book, authors Jonathan Shariat and Cynthia Savard Saucier explain how poorly designed products can anger, sadden, exclude, and even kill people who use them. The designers responsible certainly didn't intend harm, so what can you do to avoid making similar mistakes? Tragic Design examines real case studies that show how certain design choices adversely affected users, and includes in-depth interviews with authorities in the design industry. Pick up this book and learn how you can be an agent of change in the design community and at your company. You'll explore: Designs that can kill, including the bad interface that doomed a young cancer patient Designs that anger, through impolite technology and dark patterns How design can inadvertently cause emotional pain Designs that exclude people through lack of accessibility, diversity, and justice How to advocate for ethical design when it isn't easy to do so Tools and techniques that can help you avoid harmful design decisions Inspiring professionals who use design to improve our world
Aiming to place design developments in their broader context, this text describes the history of design from its emergence as a separate discipline around 1750 to the present. Arranged chronologically, and with colour-coded pages for ease of reference, the book includes time-lines and designers' biographies, as well as feature spreads on notable designers and companies. There is also a detailed list of major design museums and collections.
In an age of globalization and connectivity, the idea of "mainstream culture" has become quaint. Websites, magazines, books, and television have all honed in on ever-diversifying subcultures, hoping to carve out niche audiences that grow savvier and more narrowly sliced by the day. Consequently,the discipline of graphic design has undergone a sea change. Where visual communication was once informed by a designer's creative intuition, the proliferation of specialized audiences now calls for more research-based design processes. Designers who ignore research run the risk of becoming mere tools for communication rather than bold voices. Design Studies, a collection of 27 essays from an internat...
The material in this book is intended primarily as an introduction to managing senior design projects for undergraduate engineering students during their junior or senior year; however, the text may be used by other young engineers working on development of commercial products. The text is aimed at having students gain knowledge and perhaps understand the management processes required to develop and produce a prototype system or device. Other goals are to have the students or young engineers learn not only by performing the design and project management processes, but also to learn about the various types of required project documents and management reports.
So far working stress method was used for the design of steel structures. Nowadays whole world is going for the limit state method which is more rational. Indian national code IS:800 for the design of steel structures was revised in the year 2007 incorporating limit state method. This book is aimed at training the students in using IS: 800 2007 for designing steel structures by limit state method. The author has explained the provisions of code in simple language and illustrated the design procedure with a large number of problems. It is hoped that all universities will soon adopt design of steel structures as per IS: 2007 and this book will serve as a good textbook.A sincere effort has been made to present design procedure using simple language, neat sketches and solved problems.
In all the experimental sciences, good design of experiments is crucial to the success of research. Well-planned experiments can provide a great deal of information efficiently and can be used to test several hypotheses simultaneously. This book is about the statistical principles of good experimental design and is intended for all applied statisticians and practising scientists engaged in the design, implementation and analysis of experiments. Professor Mead has written the book with the emphasis on the logical principles of statistical design and employs a minimum of mathematics. Throughout he assumes that the large-scale analysis of data will be performed by computers and he is thus able to devote more attention to discussions of how all of the available information can be used to extract the clearest answers to many questions. The principles are illustrated with a wide range of examples drawn from medicine, agriculture, industry and other disciplines. Numerous exercises are given to help the reader practise techniques and to appreciate the difference that good design of experiments can make to a scientific project.
This book demystifies the design process by outlining a step-by-step procedure that readers can apply with confidence to solve their own design or advertising problems. The book also offers samples, guidance on effectively assessing designs, and much more.
Although design infuses every object in the material world and gives form to immaterial processes as well, it is only recently that design itself has become the focus of intellectual debate. In Design Discourse, Victor Margolin gathers together a body of new writing in the emerging field of design studies. The contributors argue in different ways for a rethinking of design in light of its cultural significance and its powerful position in today's society.

MP3: Truman's Hat (Previsited) (3.4 mb)
Today is the twenty-fifth anniversary of the death of Truman Capote, one of my favorite writers.
Truman possessed that glorious ability to dream-up an excellent story and then craft it into perfection with the precision and grace of a masterful wordsmith. From humble beginnings, he rose to enjoy the riches of celebrity, and floated about in its high circles with effortless aplomb, soon charming himself into the talks and toasts of many...just as he had expected. He was also quite the tiny tyrant at times, often becoming an embarrassment to himself and those around him with his uncontrollable boozing and fiery tongue.
His speaking voice was an instantly recognizable extension of his appearance and personality, and he was always an entertaining guest when making his myriad talk show appearances throughout the 60's and 70's, often baffling the young me with his curious persona. How could I have known that this somewhat toadish man-boy had once been young and handsome, a thrilling fireball of creativity and joie de vivre? (That's him in 1949 on this Smiths' single cover from 1985.)
But it's his writing voice that gets into you. And, in the end, it's that writing voice that will speak for him throughout the ages.
And if you're wondering, my favorite book by him - generally speaking - is Music for Chameleons, a collection of short stories and essays. But that may change with the next one I revisit.
Years ago, in his honor, I'd written a little tune called Truman's Hat that I hoped would help me get a better handle on him, genius bag of contradictions that he was (he reportedly once said that he was more interested in the truth than he was in the facts). I recorded the song a few times throughout the years, and this month's mp3 is a hopefully hypnotic instrumental version of it.
A full version with lyrics appears on my next "official" release (plug plug), due out early September. I'm doing something different this time in that I'm going to try to chronicle not only some of the recording of the EP, but also the ways I actually go about getting it onto CD and then promote and sell it...cheaply and mostly effortlessly of course. My desire is that some of you who might think to yourself, "I oughta record some music and put it out there" will find some inspiration and guidance to get you started. So if you want to follow along, check out the new site I've set up for it here.
And, lest we forget:
Two quotes from Truman Capote:
Failure is the condiment that gives success its flavor.
To me, the greatest pleasure of writing is not what it's about, but the inner music that words make.

Episode 71 - Removals Men II
Episode 54 · October 21st, 2011 · 30 mins 54 secs
About this Episode
Rejoicing at someone's execution, in "disturbing images",
is hard enough to absorb.
To add the unaccountable silence of Christians in relation to such joy
is almost impossible to absorb.
What's to love in this world, in this planetary race of not so human beings?
We're hoping to get a little help today from Harnack and Huxley.
(Wonder what would have happened if they'd ever met?
I feel almost certain that Holl, Harnack's A student, would have liked Huxley.)
