"The cavalry is arriving," said Adam Green, cofounder of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee. "A lot of news coverage after the election focused on Democrats winning two seats, but the big story for us is the composition of the Democratic caucus has moved in a massively progressive direction."
Warren, the consumer advocate who articulates a full-throated populism rarely heard in Washington in recent years, is the most prominent of the new progressive members. But she is far from alone: There's Wisconsin's Tammy Baldwin, who hails from the liberal bastion of Madison; Connecticut's Chris Murphy, a loyal Democrat who replaces the moderate Joe Lieberman; and Hawaii's Mazie Hirono, who during her tenure in the House has been a leading member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. They are the sort of Democrats who don't mind discussing a strong role for government in American life.
The four incoming senators join progressives Sherrod Brown of Ohio and Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island - both of whom were reelected in November - and other liberal stalwarts in the Senate, among them Bernie Sanders of Vermont, Jeff Merkley of Oregon and Al Franken of Minnesota. Meanwhile, moderates Democrats Ben Nelson of Nebraska, Kent Conrad of North Dakota and Lieberman of Connecticut (an independent who caucuses with Democrats) - all of whom have repeatedly angered progressives - have retired.
The new crop of left-leaning senators and their progressive allies reflect something of a break with the modern Democratic Party. In the 1990s, then-president Bill Clinton and the Democratic Leadership Council successfully moved the party away from the economic populism and leftist positions it had embraced since the late 1960s. It was a vision reflected by Mr. Clinton's decision in 1996 to sign legislation to end "welfare as we know it," and his declaration that the "era of big government is over." Liberals derided the "triangulation" reflected by Mr. Clinton's policies as reflecting an abdication of what the Democratic Party stands for.
Despite claims by some on the right that President Obama has a "socialist agenda" - in the words of Mr. Clinton's onetime aide, Dick Morris, who has been credited as the father of triangulation - progressives have lamented that Mr. Obama has largely not sought to return his party to the unapologetic populism of the pre-Clinton era. While they stood by Mr. Obama in the 2012 election cycle, they rallied enthusiastically around Warren, who did not shy away from deeming the economic and political system "rigged" against the middle class. The rhetoric of Warren and the other new Senate progressives has prompted comparisons to progressive heroes like Paul Wellstone and Hubert Humphrey - along with George McGovern, whose trouncing in the 1972 presidential election helped give rise to the Democratic Leadership Council.
Green says the influx of progressive voices in the Senate will "embolden everybody to advance more progressive priorities." And he argues that polling proves that progressive positions, such as protecting entitlement programs, are embraced by most Americans and thus deserving of unapologetic Democratic support. "There's no reason that any Democrat in the caucus should ever get behind cuts to any of these benefits if they care about what's political popular," he said.
Others are more skeptical.
"I don't expect [the Senate] to change much if at all," said Jim Manley, a former top communications aide to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and "liberal lion" Sen. Edward M. Kennedy. "I appreciate the idea that there's an influx of progressives, and I think that's good news, but the fact is until you get 60 votes to cut off a filibuster, you're going to need to compromise to get anything done, and Senator Reid is going to continue to look out for the caucus as a whole. For every Elizabeth Warren, there's a Mark Pryor who's up for reelection in 2014."
Pryor hails from the largely red state of Arkansas, and is seen as among the most vulnerable Democrats facing reelection two years from now. Other Democrats in a similar position include Sens. Mark Begich of Alaska, Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, Max Baucus of Montana, Tim Johnson of South Dakota and Kay Hagan of North Carolina. If all six lose their seats and Democrats don't pick up any seats to offset the losses, the Democratic Party will go from a 55-vote majority in the Senate to a minority. It's also worth noting that some of the incoming senators who will caucus with Democrats - including Joe Donnelly of Indiana, Tim Kaine of Virginia and Angus King of Maine - will likely seek to push the party in a more moderate direction.
Manley argued that even if Reid wants to embrace a more progressive position, he's not going to risk losing the Senate to do so - especially since Republicans control the House and can block any progressive legislation. His recommendation to Warren and her progressive colleagues is to "do what Hillary Clinton did and what Sen. Barack Obama did, which is to keep your head down, attend your hearings, study your briefing books and pick and choose your spots and try to take on an important issue."
"I don't mean that they shouldn't take on issues and try and push them forward, but they've got to realize that in this hyper-partisan political atmosphere the chance for enacting such legislation is pretty slim," he added.
Congressional scholar Thomas Mann of the Brookings Institution agreed with Manley's take on the impact of the progressive newcomers, saying he is "skeptical of any significant change."
"The reason being our politics these days are very much shaped from the top down, rather than the bottom up," he said. "And nothing these people are bringing differ in any significant way from Sherrod Brown, from Sheldon Whitehouse and others."
Green, of the Progressive Campaign Change Committee, dismisses concerns about protecting vulnerable senators up for reelection as "old school, out of touch thinking," pointing to polls that show progressive positions popular in red states. Green acknowledged a cultural divide in some of these states, but said economic populism makes sense even for Democrats like Pryor. "Poor rural voters in Arkansas are not rooting for Wall Street to get away with murder, or to close on their houses," he said.
Even if Reid and the more moderate Democrats suppress efforts by progressive senators to push more liberal legislation, there are openings for progressives to assert themselves. Warren may be low on the totem pole in terms of seniority, but her assignment to the Senate Banking Committee will give her a perch from which to potentially make national headlines in her battles with Wall Street. And the ascension of Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., to the Budget Committee chairmanship, where she replaces Conrad, will mean a greater focus on liberal issues there. Conrad's focus was reducing the deficit; Murray says she will focus on "making sure we invest in the right places, in education, in job training, and to make sure we do a balanced approach moving forward." Progressive senators can also use leverage to move big pieces of legislation to the left, as they attempted to do in the "fiscal cliff" fight when they sent a letter to Mr. Obama demanding that he not buckle to Republican demands on revenues and spending cuts.
All four of the incoming progressive senators declined to be interviewed for this article. That may be because discussing their plans is a no-win situation: If they say they are going to keep their heads down and play by the rules, as Manley advises, they risk angering progressives. If they say they plan to push hard for their agenda, seniority be damned, they risk angering their new colleagues in the tradition-obsessed Senate before their first day of work. A top aide to one of the incoming senators told CBS News that the structure of the Senate does not lend itself to dramatic legislative action; that won't change even if moderate filibuster reform goes into effect in the new Congress.
Some have speculated that the influx of progressive senators will mean further polarization of an already-polarized Congress, with the liberal Democratic wing occupying the same obstructionist position in the Senate that the tea party Republican wing plays in the House. Mann, author of "It's Even Worse Than It Looks: How the American Constitutional System Collided With the New Politics of Extremism," dismissed that concern.
"The Democratic Party has been repositioned as a center-left party, and that doesn't mean they don't articulate progressive goals and aspirations, but they're pragmatic people who know that to realize their ambitions substantively they've got to make the finances of the country whole," he said, arguing that the ideological extremism is "almost entirely" within the GOP. Even with the addition of the new progressive senators, he added, Democrats are "really a pragmatic lot, not an ideological lot."
The day after she won election, Warren vowed to reach across the aisle, saying she will "work with anyone" in order "to help get something done." Green argued that her focus should be not on moving toward Republicans but on harnessing progressive enthusiasm to force them - and her party - to move in her direction. He said one of her first priorities should be to push the Senate to reinstate the Glass-Steagall Act that mandated the separation of commercial and investment banking.
"We're living in a world where committee assignment and seniority takes a backseat to who can apply outside pressure in order to affect change from within," he said. "There's nobody in the Senate that's more capable of applying outside pressure for popular change than Elizabeth Warren."
"If the Senate passes popular Wall Street reform and the House blocks it, that just creates a valuable messaging opportunity for 2014," Green added. "And I'm sure Harry Reid would be happy about that."

Track to be renamed Betfair Hollywood Park in first-ever naming rights deal for a US racing venue.
Creation of "Betfair Lounge" and "Betfair Club" areas at track with major technology, facility and infrastructure upgrades.
Track simulcast signal to be upgraded with state-of-the-art graphics and TVG talent.
Proven Betfair marketing initiatives will be employed to drive younger demographics to the historic racing venue and monetize them, supported by traditional marketing campaigns on TVG and in the Los Angeles market.
LOS ANGELES, March 13, 2012 – Betfair US, the Los Angeles-based subsidiary of Betfair Group pic that also owns TVG, America's
Horseracing Network, and Hollywood Park Racing Association, the operator of Hollywood Park Racetrack in the Los Angeles area, today announced the completion of a groundbreaking agreement intended to transform the customer experience for racing fans at the historic venue, online and on television.
Under the terms of the five-year deal, the venue will be renamed "Betfair Hollywood Park" in the first naming rights agreement ever for a horseracing venue in the United States.
Building on the success of the innovative Betfair Lounge at Ascot Racecourse in the United Kingdom, where Betfair is a prime sponsor, Betfair, subject to Hollywood Park receiving assurance regarding its historic racing dates for 2013, will make significant infrastructure investments and improvements at the Hollywood Park facility to create the "Betfair Club" where the Hollywood Lounge is currently located on the main floor of the Players Club and the "Betfair Lounge" where the VIP Lounge is currently located near the third floor box seat area. Betfair Club and Betfair Lounge will offer customers modern surroundings, access to state-of-the-art technologies to interact with the racing product and contemporary enhanced food and beverage options.
For those customers who enjoy the races on television or online, TVG will produce the Betfair Hollywood Park simulcast signal and related TVG television programming. TVG will introduce advanced graphics packages similar to those used in network broadcasts of major US sporting events to enhance the user experience and data available from the product. TVG telecasts will promote all events taking place at Betfair Hollywood Park and drive attendance to the venue for live racing. At a future date, it is anticipated that the races from Betfair Hollywood Park will be presented in High Definition television.
Betfair's racing customers are nearly twenty years younger than the average US racing customer. Betfair will use its proven methods and techniques utilizing electronic media, social media and other new media outlets to drive a younger demographic to the venue and, importantly, interest that demographic in wagering on horse races- which has proven elusive for the US racing industry. For example, customers who purchase tickets to music concerts at the venue will be able to redeem those tickets for wagering credits in a TVG account in the amount of the face value of the ticket that may not be withdrawn until wagered.
"We are deeply committed to changing US horseracing for the better and are delighted to find a partner in Hollywood Park Racing Association willing to take the bold step of trying to change every facet of the racing xperience to appeal to a broader, younger audience," said Stephen Burn, CEO of Betfair US and TVG. "Horseracing is a wonderful sport, but it must embrace cultural change and utilize advancements in technology and presentation to survive and thrive just as other sports and entertainment industries have done. We hope this is the first of many examples of using the assets of technology companies, such as Betfair, to revitalize historic venues such as Betfair Hollywood Park."
Currently, the California Horse Racing Board is considering regulations that would make possible the implementation of exchange wagering on horseracing by california residents for the first time anywhere in the United States. Betfair pioneered exchange wagering on horseracing in 2000 and is the leading operator in the world.
"We realize that US racing, and California racing in particular, simply cannot continue on as it has," said Jack Liebau, President of Hollywood Park Racing Association. "We need to look at the way we do everything in presenting our product to the public and not be afraid to embrace change, particularly if we are going to generate a younger fan base. We believe that partnering with Betfair to odernize the product will benefit California racing. Exchange wagering is another possibly transformative technological change for horseracing. However, it will only be introduced after a thorough consultation with our Horsemen and Horsewomen and, of course, its implementation is ultimately subject to the approval of the Thoroughbred Owners of California."

Myths, misconceptions, and truths
A glimpse at how customers really interact with banks in digital channels
- |
- Written by Bob Meara, senior analyst, Celent Banking Group
- |
- Comments: DISQUS_COMMENTS
Consumer preferences are changing rapidly. Some misunderstandings were once true, but are simply outdated, while others are just plain myths. Perhaps the most egregious misconception is that young people have no use for the branch. While young adults transact digitally, they prefer to engage with their banks face-to-face. This presents a challenge to banks, who must invest in both their branch and digital channels to remain competitive.
Celent conducted an online survey among 1,059 U.S. internet users in June 2013, to get a current snapshot of channel usage and preferences. Key findings of our report include:
- Aging adults don't trust the internet. Nonsense. Celent found no statistical difference in past 30-day internet banking usage across age groups.
- Gen Y trusts online security. Security concerns constitute the No.1 mobile banking adoption barrier across all age groups among smart phone owners.
- Young people have no use for the branch. A related axiom is this: channel usage is all about demographics. In fact, Celent found no statistical difference among age groups in the branch as a preferred engagement choice.
- Mobile banking users skew young, and they don't have any money. While it's true that age is a predictor of mobile banking usage, it is not just the young who are increasingly digitally driven.
Enduring truths:
- The branch remains the king of customer engagement.
- Consumers are increasingly digitally driven.
These have clear implications for banks. Celent identifies a triumvirate of multichannel imperatives arising from the growth in digitally directed consumers. Specifically:
- Right-size the branch network.
- Learn how to sell in the digital channels.
- Catalyze growth in self-service usage.
The report, Myths, Misconceptions, and Enduring Truths: A Survey of Digitally Directed Consumers, begins with a snapshot of digital behavior based on the survey, followed by an analysis of channel usage and preference by age, device ownership, and income. The report then looks at customer satisfaction and bank-switching behavior as well as key factors leading to choosing their new bank relationship. Usage and attitudes of current and emerging digital channel capabilities follows. Finally, the report presents Celent's multichannel mandate, a practical, three-part plan to improve sales results in an increasingly multichannel world.

The proposed coalition of the democrats and nationals in the spring campaign is now a foregone conclusion, and it is no longer practical to advocate or oppose it. Men with heads on their shoulders will now only consider what should be done by the coalition when formed. The most important part of this problem, too, is to avoid doing foolish things rather than be too anxious to do all possible wise things. Undoubtedly the most foolish thing the allied conventions could do would be to take up the silly cry of the Free Press about the university.

Before legislating further on the Mormon question let those virtuous congressmen clean out that house of prostitution known as the Treasury Department. The chief ofthe United States detective force has put it on record that members of congress use the treasury girls for their own vile purposes, and that few, if any, virtuous women can secure positions there.

Rev.

Y., made an address, on temperance at the Congregational church in this place. The Clare band welcomed him with spirited music, and a large audience listened to his remarks. The speaker was original in his methods, and happy in his illustrations, and interesting everyway. He sang some, talked, and told stories, comieal, yet effective. The Captain meant business. *IIe took off his collar, and waded into his audience with a fervor that elicited warm applause. His ideas of the using of tobacco were identical with our own views. He stated that that habit unquestionably had a firmer hold upon men, and was harder to break than was that of drinking. lie stated that statistics show that while Squire Brown could put on lots of style from the profits of selling liquor, it required twenty-six such customers as old Jones to enable hini to do it. In other words, it took twenty-six old Joneses to make one Squire Brown. A number of new pledges were made by men given to drinking, and the speaker's lecture was voted a grand sijoeesis, and resolutions of commendation-and appreciation passed, Tlie regular meetings of the club are to occur each Saturday evening atone of tie churches, which will be ad- tlIiough aud Heady" finds it Heady, aud, also Bough—Poor old 3Ir.

"Rough and Ready" says that "the social held at Wm. Philps's netted 14 cents." He informs me Mr. Philp told him so. I presume if Mr. Philp had known that he was being pumped for thc benefit of thc public, he WOuld have entered into the particulars more fally. It so happened that there was only 14 cents of change among those present, all having bills, and agreeing to hand the amount of their donations in subsequently. Our social netted $1.10 cash, 80 cents'worth of tea, besides flour and potatoes, and considering there were only Mr. James Stough, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Bachelor, Mr. Angus McDonald, Mr. and Mrs. Smalley, Robert Smalley and ourselves to pay anything, I think we did very well. There were some young folks that did not pay anything. As Rough and Ready did not* help raise that 14 cents, I do not think he need take any credit to himself on account of Vernon's generosity. We think "Anon" is the Rev. Mr. Campbell. He has bombarded the different churches so long, hoping to see them topple over so that he could build him a church from their ruins, and thinking that he has discovered a weak point in their socials, he has moved his cannon to thaf side. In the discourse of his that "Rough and Ready" speaks about, he brought the Clare Press down to read to his congregation. He read the notice of tlie spectacle social, then the article of "Anon," and then preached from the text, "3Iauy are called but few are chosen,*" and liis hearers wrere given to understand that it would be an awful close shave for all except their speaker and his followers. We think also that the Reverend gentleman answvred himself over the Norn deo plume, "Church Member," I woulft like to nay to Church Member in re- is but* few people that don't know that the donations are gotten up to help raise the minister's salary. I don't think our ministers are beggars. I do not believe they want gifts. They want their rightful earnings and think we ought to do ali we can to raise it for them. What would we think of a man that hired another to chop wood if be shouktsay, "You are a tip top fellow, I think you have done your work well; here, I'll make you a present of twenty-five cents," but say nothing of paying him what he agreed to for chopping the wood? If I understand the forcible language used in the country, I-think he would be advised to go to a warmer climate. I should like to ask "Anon" who has done the most good in Clare and vicinity, those noble men and women of the Congregational and M. E. churches that have gotten up those socials to help on God's cause, or the Reverend gentleman and his followers have tried to build themselves a church by tearing-down others? I for one, think that God will judge them according to his works and those according to theirs, "His Bible teaches him that he must possess what he does profess." I wonder if .he thinks that working as hard as he has done to break up a Methodist class meeting shows that he possesses the love of Christ in his heart? He was determined we should not hold this class meeting on his day for preaching. We tried to have it early so we could get out of his way. Then he would .come early and tell us if we did not stop our meeting he would leave and go home. This he never did. Then we had it after his meeting so he could get out of our way. He came later and later and on hi§ last appointment he c\id not commence his meeting until time for our meeting to commence. Now if a man that will fight so against those that are trying to serve Gwl profess a time christian spirit then I am mistaken. He says a "House divided against itself cannot stand.." I wonder if that is the reason he has worked so hard to get a division in the Vernon chureh. I would like to say to him, "First, cast out the beam from thine own eye, then shalt thou see clearly to cast-out the mote out of thy brother's eye. Leota. Wliy JR-cvereiMi?

How would you define excessive force? There doesn't seem to be a precise definition, if only because it's a matter of legalese. Generally speaking, the police shouldn't be using force beyond what is called for under the circumstances, which is a somewhat subjective test.
We'll lob you a softball so you can decide the answers to these important questions. Can you use a Taser on a pregnant woman? How many times can you do it? Once? Twice? Three times?
Now, if your initial reaction was something like, "Holy sh*t! Who does that?," you must be thinking that the police would be crazy to tase a pregnant woman — especially a pregnant woman who's two months away from her due date. She'd have to have done something egregious to warrant the use of such force.
But that's not what happened to a pregnant woman in Washington who received the punishment for a mere traffic violation. And the police officers who inflicted her pain want to take the case to the United States Supreme Court….

Her musical career took wing a year ago, when she and her husband, Nii Sai Sai, connected with fellow countryman and musical producer Isaac Aryee.
The combination of her singing, her husband's songwriting and Aryee's production proved the ideal trifecta to create Afon's debut album.
They got together to begin the album in September 2011, and by May, it was complete.
Afon said her music is spiritual and reflects empowerment in her life. She said the album is her story put to music.
"Music is a big part of what I do," she said. "It brings all of who I am. The whole idea is to connect with people."
The songs that make up the album are soothing and rhythmic, and their melodies give the listener an uplifted feeling.
They combine jazz, reggae, gospel and contemporary Christian styles. Of the 12 songs, 10 were written by Sai, and two were written by friends from South Africa and Ghana.
"It came out of our experiences," Sai said. "We both lost our younger sisters. The music is about breaking away and being uplifted, the challenges and sharing of faiths and friendships to help us pull through. To rise above and look for a better day."
When Afon performed a series of concerts before hundreds of people in her native Ghana in August, she said she felt a bit nostalgic.
"There was hesitation, but once I sing, it drives everything I do," she said. "Once I have the microphone in my hand, I am in the zone, in my element. It was a way to promote excellence in music driven by Africans."
Sai said the most rewarding thing for him about the shows in Africa was watching the different generations in the audience share a love of Afon's music as they danced in the aisles.
In her childhood, Afon performed often in church and youth groups in Ghana, and when she came to America in 1999 to study French and Spanish at Luther College, she said she never lost her desire to sing. She met her future husband through a friend after he, too, moved from Ghana in 1993 to attend Dartmouth College, where he earned a degree in electrical engineering.
Afon and Sai live in Mountain House with their three children, 5-year-old twin girls Akweley and Akuokor and 3-year-old son Jace. The children are already involved with music, showing a gift for guitar, drums and piano, according to their parents.
Through the years, Afon has spread her message of equality for African women. In the past decade, she has combined experience in grant writing, philanthropy, women's rights, social justice and development with her love of music.
Her professional singing career has included work with Global Fund for Women, UNICEF-Ghana and World Savvy. She is also a member of the Women's Earth Alliance.
"My music celebrates diversity of African music and pays tribute — it pays homage to those roots," she said.
In addition to her concerts in Ghana, she performed in a May concert at Cornerstone Fellowship church in Livermore.
Although she hopes her future will include more local performances, Afon's immediate plans include promoting the release of an Afrobeat single, "Emi Oko Orin (I Will Sing)." The single can be purchased at CDBaby.com, and a music video is slated for release in late October, Sai said.
Afon's album, "Rise," is available on iTunes, CDBaby.com, Amazon.com and her own website, www.maameafon.com.

The Berkshires
POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. -- Poughkeepsie police are reminding residents to keep their cars locked. That's after an uptick in overnight car thefts around the area.
According to police, there's been a large spike since the month of September. They're warning people that although your car windows may not be broken, that doesn't mean the car hasn't been looked through.
Suspects will rummage through unlocked cars to see if there's anything worth taking. The most commonly stolen items are cash, GPS units, iPods and MP3 players.
Police say residents should call them if they see people near cars with flashlights at night.

For one county's experience reducing the consequences of non-treatment for severe mental illness and saving money while doing it, check out this story on YouTube.
Crisis and Opportunity
The darkening fiscal picture for state governments nationwide is clearly raising new barriers to treatment for those with severe mental illness. Psychiatric beds – already at historic lows – are being reduced further. Entire hospitals are being closed or threatened with closure. Emergency-room holds for people with acute symptoms are ballooning into days and even weeks in the absence of open inpatient beds. Prescription-drug coverage for low-income patients is being eliminated – slashing the lifeline to sanity and functionality for thousands of people.
In such a fiscal environment, it is more imperative than ever for mental health systems to include assisted outpatient treatment (AOT) in their approach to community-based care. This need stems from two simple facts:
- Assisted outpatient treatment vastly improves treatment outcomes for its target population, which leads to savings in the avoidance of the costly consequences of non-treatment. E.g., a recent independent study of New York's AOT program found that, for the program's high-risk population, AOT cut both the likelihood of being arrested and the likelihood of hospital admission by about half.
- Without assisted outpatient treatment, a sizable portion of any amount spent on community-based services goes to waste because some of the intended recipients are not capable of accessing those services at all.
Budget freefalls and budget cuts
Virtually all states are required by law to balance their operating budgets annually or biannually. As a result, unlike the federal government, states cannot maintain services during an economic downturn by running a deficit. State government revenues have been in a freefall because of falling tax revenues and pension fund investment losses, according to the Census Bureau. Revenues available for states to fund programs, including mental health care, plunged almost 31% between fiscal 2008 and 2009; dismal economic projections and the scheduled expiration of federal assistance to state Medicaid programs in June may lead to even deeper cuts in fiscal year 2012 budgets.
In this environment, every public program funded directly by states is subject to possible reduction. Already, budget cuts have impacted all major areas of state services in at least 46 states plus the District of Columbia since 2008, according to The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. Health care – the category that includes mental health treatment – has been reduced in 31 states.
wHAT YOU CAN DO
The impact of mental health budget cuts can be mitigated by maximizing the use of existing mental health services by those in the most dire need, and that is precisely why assisted outpatient treatment must be part of the current fiscal debates. AOT remains unauthorized in five states and is grossly under-used in nearly all of the 45 states and the District of Columbia, where it has been signed into law. With circumstances forcing mental health systems to do more with less, advocates everywhere must make the case that assisted outpatient treatment is a critical form of "smarter spending."

Big data, big changes, big trouble (in Little China)
Every day you add more data to your infrastructure. Some analysts say it averages 20 percent year on year. There are certain types of organizations that can change up to 60 percent year on year. One way or another, data keeps growing and you keep buying more storage, and that can cause big trouble.
