Hillary Clinton's search for an economic policy seems to forget the phrase used to caution investors: "Past results are not indicators of future success." The world of her husband's administration is long gone. The great goods of all economies are now commodities; volume produces wealth and flatlines jobs and wages. Apple, Monsanto (80% of world corn seed), American Water Supply (the largest water utility), Pepsico and Google are diverse examples of commodity enterprises operating in global markets that increase capital wealth with little increase in jobs; yet they are vital to economic growth.
Clinton's advisers don't seem to get this paradox: the modern economy is built on essential commodities that transfer wealth without the traditional means of adding value through labor and large workforces. In fact, work itself is becoming a commodity, priced by industry and region, in the same way as good and services.
Clinton economic panels ignore this reality. Yet the US economy is deeply entwined with monopolies by companies and by regions (China's Pearl River zone, Foxconn; Vietnam, Indonesia, clothing; Brazil, agriculture; the big banks, cell, music and cable services; et al.). Working around the economic margins through taxes and fees will not restructure a system designed to vacuum up cash and maintain rock-bottom wages while the private sector shifts social costs to government.
But more importantly, her panels of economists overlook global best practices and opportunities! They agree and disagree about the wrong things! Models in several countries have successfully produced rapid growth and gains for the middle class in the last two decades (interrupted by the global recession) and continue to do so!
To cite four: China, Brazil, Botswana (per capita income, $17.1k, one of Africa's highest!), and Mexico. Each country has structural issues, several confront major corruption and crime, but their political economies have increased wages and the size of the middle class by taking advantage of training, government partnerships, economic planning and global growth.
All four share two essential features: modifying social capital to invest heavily in health and education incentives, and protecting wages and investments for families by safety nets and identifying markets through planning with high-paying, sustainable jobs.
US politicians look at polls and avoid plans. The US creates international agreements, but lacks domestic strategy. The private sector and conservatives applaud the open market, but ignore its chaos and corruption, and see government as an adversary rather than a partner, a view contrary to the emerging global vision of government's role in expanding national economies.
On taxes, Congress closes doors and opens loopholes. The controlling party of Congress wants to tell the sick they are unaffordable, the illiterate they are flawed, and to describe the jobs in which workers are stuck for decades as entry-level. Their proclamation of progress has no plan or specific details. We are deluding ourselves. Especially if we think only the market can pick winners and losers.
Successful models don't debate ideas, abandon common sense, or solve blame. They don't tilt policy to accelerate the flow of wealth to the rich while blaming others for the lack of virtues that supposedly cause income inequality and static wages. Successful models promote growth. They engage stakeholders and establish activities—real organizations and businesses supported by advanced knowledge and research, highlighted and included in state and regional plans, aided by federal policies that will innovate as markets expand.
This approach would give rebirth to America's economy. Developing global models are driving micro (for families) and macro (for companies) growth and job expansion around the world (except Haiti, close to home). Here in the US, partisan calculations blot out the rich benefits of using the models' far-reaching economic calculations.
Three Global Opportunities: Rails, Smartphone Operating Systems, Hydro and Solar Energy
Though it expands year over year, the US has abdicated the global rail market to China and Europe. It is a huge missed opportunity. Rail's five main market segments (high-speed, mainline, freight, light rail, metro) include 150 or more sub-industries, among them electronics, safety, signaling, communications, maintenance, interiors, metallurgy, construction, power engines and assembly, and will have steady long-term growth, powered by the need to transport grain, coal, chemicals, automotive, intermodal freight and urban ridership.
But rail's sustained, high-wage jobs are ceded to Canada (Bombardier), Germany (Siemens), and France (Alstom), among others. In a global market approaching a trillion dollars annually, two-thirds of rail revenues remain directly accessible to the US—orders are open and awarded to the best bids from competing global suppliers! Yet, as an example missing the present and future, the US share of the rail car market is only 5% and is not using its superior financing, technical and research knowledge, experience with large-scale projects and skilled workforces to compete for dominant share.
China holds two of the top three positions as manufacturers and suppliers of rolling stock equipment, positioned to take advantage of new sales: in the next ten years, Europe will replace 10,300 locomotives, and Africa's demand for rolling stock will double.
Consider these recent global rail projects:
US companies received none of these bids or subcontracts, missing out on 80,000 to 250,000 new jobs. Nor do they recognize a key value of rail is its stable long-term growth through flexible and sustained mobility.
With rails, entrepreneurial opportunities exist in adhesives, sealants and fixings; cables, hoses and connectors; paint and protective coatings; electrification, power supply, lighting, electromechanical systems and drives; fire safety, detection and suppression; computer hardware and software, controls and monitoring systems, door systems, gangway systems, public address and alarm systems; track engineering and construction, track maintenance and repair; fare collection and ticketing; noise, shock and vibration control; heating and cooling systems and compressors; and wash plants—leaving aside the importance of locomotive, rail and passenger car design.
Research for innovation include sensors, computers and digital communications to collect, process and disseminate information to improve the rail safety, security and operations. Research also includes alternative fuels and energy sources, reducing life-cycle costs while increasing reliability of equipment and infrastructure assets, and maintenance.
In fact, the US is absent from rail and many economic niches.
Apple dominates the high end of the smartphone market, but opportunities exist and are expanding for inexpensive models, a market in which India and China lead with no US competition. The Indian smartphone market for phones under $200 grew 186 per cent in the first six months of 2014. Other developing countries hold the same market potential.
Recently, Google announced Android One, a standard operating system intended to become the first choice for millions of new customers globally. Continue reading Hillary Clinton: Will Her Economic Policies Follow Best Global Practices?
A favorite couplet of W.H. Auden explains much of the world's confusion:
The situation of our time
The confusion and crime is in the global circular firing squad which is supposed to function for political sanity. The one that insists everybody should be in, especially, its titular leader, the United States. US President Barack Obama is in disfavor because he won't spend the dollars or spin the wheel to keep the rigged roulette scheme turning out jackpots that widen the gap between rich and poor. A host of non-state conflicts see refugee populations growing, education disrupted for a generation of children, possessions lost, security and community dashed as civilians become the targets of violence financed by unseen sources.
Its secret fountain of supply is a global slosh of wealth that creeps into the mean to spread death and violence. Despite the intent of good works, wealth, even at its best, misplaces priorities.
Take Bill Gates. Ever in search of the perfect, waterless, composting, energy generating, germ-free toilet, he roams the world while an entire continent, Africa, does not manufacture medical supplies or drugs or infection control gowns—all important basic weapons needed to confront immediate, recurring threats of diseases with more devastating consequences to the social fabric that the lack of sewers in rural villages.*
I agree with his foundation's statement that "Food and water tainted with fecal matter result in 1.5 million child deaths every year." But many of those deaths can be prevented through education programs, combining sanitation with another top priority, learning, and getting effective results. Sanitation education would cover a wider range of habits and health conditions, for an even greater impact.
The Ebola outbreak highlights the extreme difference in priorities related to global health. Ebola is killing health professionals, daily diminishing the ranks of Africa's skilled caregivers, not quickly trained or easily replaced, all for the want of simple infection protection gear—gloves, booties, gowns, masks. All imported.
A continent that is the home of many major contagious infections doesn't have a stockpile infection gowns or a plant to met this basic need to save lives and reduce the spread of death among civilians and key personnel. Continue reading Surround and Surrender
Along with Republican obstructionism, add another wedge-based, ideological power tool: reductionism. Reduce every incident of the magnitude of the world's greatest tragedies to a simple formula of failure and lay them neatly at the President's feet.
In the Republican playbook, reductionism is a call to action; it focuses on President Obama as the enemy-in-chief; at once inept and over-reaching, an indecisive President making too many decisions, a weak President who has preserved America's peace, a budget-cutter who spends too much, a President who ignores Congress after spending an entire term seeking a Grand Bargain with the Republican Speaker; an international leader who has squandered America's leverage even as his policies of international sanctions are working; a leader who doesn't understand and stifles businesses and finance, even as his Justice Department settles a civil case against a global behemoth of a bank for violations of the laws of business practices, settling for $7 billion, $2.5 billion of which will go to assist mortgage holders, with $180 million used to build affordable housing, the first time fees from government penalties will go to taxpayers.
Reduction presents a simple fact as it engages in massive distortions of the truth. True, no President in history has experienced or overseen the kind of humanitarian crisis involving children along the US southern border as Obama has, but no President has improved the US image as a beacon of hope to attract a pilgrim's journey of thousands of children threatened by death and violence, by sexual exploitation by national gangs of drug thugs who hold power through force and intimidation in several Central American nations.
Reductionism ignores causes and settles on blame. Often without more than the appearance of evidence based on circumstances and without proof.
Reductionism is the exception that denies it's the exception; it makes victims out of people who are then blamed as victims. It's a double-edged sword that cuts both the leadership and the people: health care costs are rising—Obama's fault—yet lazy workers are waiting on a handout—healthcare is affordable if you are willing to work.
Can't find a job? Your fault. Obama's fault.
Other reasons? Nope. The above sums it up. Well, add too many taxes on business, too much noise about higher wages, fears of inflation, too much regulation in every business sector, too much interference in what should be the rights of the states.
Reductionism works best in an atmosphere of anger. Much of the racial opposition to Obama has been reduced to anger, anger waiting to attach itself to a cause that supports its cherished conclusions of power, privilege and competence. Reductionism docks with that anger. Both are then gravity-fed by high-pressure blame. Continue reading Republican Obstruction Gives Way to Reduction
With every lurid allegation and wheezing harrumph over Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl and the circumstances of his captivity and release being debunked, Republicans are left to stand around looking not just damn foolish, but hypocritical and heartless. That's not a novelty, of course; they've been doing it pretty much forever. Sgt. Berhdahl is simply the latest excuse for GOP poutrage spun out of whole cloth. On the brighter side, at least Republicans are spending so much time hyperventilating about him that they've hardly had time to keep grinding the stubs of their ax handles over Benghazi, the IRS, Syria, and whatever other pseudo-scandals have slipped my mind at the moment. Small mercies. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel testifies on the Bergdahl release before the House Armed Services Committee on Wednesday.
Any remaining unexploded Republican heads will probably explode today as direct talks begin in Geneva between officials of the US and Iran, as efforts continue to reach a final deal on Iran's nuclear program by July. Deputy Secretary of State William Burns leads the US delegation.
The results of an internal audit on the VA's hospital scheduling issues were released this morning. The details were heartbreaking and infuriating. Over 57,000 vets have been awaiting initial appointments for more than 90 days, and 64,000 enrollees over the past decade have never got an appointment. Also today, the House Veterans Affairs Committee hears testimony from the office of the VA's Inspector General and representatives from the GAO. Acting Veterans Affairs Secretary Sloan Gibson has vowed swift reform.
Hillary Clinton, who says in an interview with Diane Sawyer airing tonight that she won't announce her presidential plans until 2015, is kicking off a national book tour this week, during which she'll be asked by every local media figure and every autograph-seeking fan at every stop in every city whether she intends to run in '16. She'll also be campaigning for a variety of Democrats, each of whom will ask her whether she intends to run in '16.
The President kicks off the week with an expansion of the "Pay As You Earn" program and other executive modifications to student loans, while urging Congress to take legislative action. Presumably, he won't be holding his breath about the latter. The President hosts a Monday event at the White House, with Dr. Jill Biden and Education Secretary Arne Duncan in attendance.
On Tuesday, the focus on education cost and quality continues with the "President's first-ever Tumblr Q&A" at 4:00 p.m. Eastern. The event will be moderated by Tumblr founder David Karp. Continue reading Stormy Monday, 6/9/14
Rand Paul is a political predator with a double standard.
In talking about a prospective Hillary Clinton candidacy, he mentioned the incident with Bill. The incident Newt Gingrich tried to impeach Bill for, Rand Paul reframed and called Bill's involvement an act of "violence." "Violence"? "The kind we should all be opposed to," Rand Paul said.
So how did Rand Paul, who said "we should all oppose" sexual "violence" vote on the renewal of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) in the Senate last year? He voted "no".
It seems some violence he doesn't oppose. Here's why, in his own words: "The legislation would increase benefits available under VAWA to specifically include victims of stalking and 'cyber-stalking,' as well as same-sex couples, and illegal immigrants who are victims of any sort of violence."
It seems he doesn't oppose the "violence" of GOP elected members of Congress, which, if framed from the same time period as President Clinton, includes inappropriate activities with pages and staffers' wives, and more.
In 2004, Rep. Robert Sherman (PA) admitted a five-year affair with a staff member who had locked herself in the bathroom of his apartment and called 911 saying he tried to choke her. No charges were filed, but she later sued and won a non-disclosed settlement. The GOP leadership supported Sherman for re-election and so did Rick Santorum, who made a robo-call on his behalf.
2007 brought us Larry Craig (ID) and the bathroom toe tapping at the airport (considered a sign of solicitation for anonymous same-sex encounters) and Joseph McDade (PA), accused of flashing two women on a Florida beach in front of several eye witnesses. He reportedly fondled himself as he followed one.
In 2010, Congress member Mark Jackson (IN) admitted to having an extra-marital affair with a married woman hired to prepare weekly audio tapes of Rep. Jackson's views on family values. When he resigned from Congress, he said in his statement, "I sinned against God, my wife and my family by having a mutual relationship with a part-time member of my staff."
An earlier post I wrote on Rep. Scott Desjarlais (TN) covers Congress' biggest stud: a doctor who had multiple affairs with hospital staff and even patients. An anti-abortion politician whose wife had an abortion as a result of his affairs.
Rand Paul is silent against the long-trending epidemic of inappropriate forms of sexual contact that plague his party. At the state and local levels, it often involves children. For safety's sake, I omitted the stories and facts.
In fact, the Speaker, John Boehner, first won his seat after he beat Rep. Buz Lukens in a Republican primary. Lukens had been found guilty of paying a 16-year-old $40 for sex, and refused to resign from his Congress.
And of course, by Rand Paul's own words, he's open to cyber-stalking and sexual violence against gays and undocumented residents; this violence is okay—since it caused him to vote "no".
But Rand Paul, who offers Hillary fake concern that doesn't jibe with his politics or actions, gives a second reason for opposing VAWA and bringing his policy bona fides into question. Again, in his own words: "mandatory arrest laws can actually aggravate further domestic violence." Continue reading Rand Paul's Vicarious Politics
Tomorrow, Virginians choose one of milquetoast Clintonista Terry McAuliffe or Tobacco Belt Taliban Ken Cuccinelli to succeed Bob McDonnell in the Executive Mansion. The Democrat's lead in the polls still holds, though a low projected voter turnout suggests Cuccinelli could pull off an upset with a sufficiently large turnout of irate Teabaggers and/or plain old Republican electoral tampering. Two Obamas, two Clintons and a Biden have been campaigning on McAuliffe's behalf, while Cuccinelli's audiences have, deservedly, been talked at by the likes of Marco Rubio, Reince Priebus, Rick Santorum, the Duggars and Rand Paul.
Speaking of Rand Paul, expect more fun this week centering on his weakness for "borrowing" words and ideas without attribution or shame. If a few more examples of the Senator's plagiarism turn up, he could be forced to issue a major "clarifying" statement to try and muddy the waters. If it comes to that, I hereby offer him a preliminary draft that he's welcome to pass off as his own: "I am not a crook and I have not yet begun to fight, or to remember the Maine. It's been the best of times, it's been the worst of times, it's been a date which will live in infamy, but I have nothing to fear but fear itself and I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Ms. Lewinsky. Now, watch this drive and read my lips: no new taxes. For the rich, anyway. Ask not what your country can do for you, but what it can do for me. So long, and thanks for all the fish, and good night and good luck, Mrs. Calabash, wherever you are. Oh, and would somebody please tear down this wall?"
Voters in 11 Colorado counties get a chance to weigh in tomorrow on whether they want to secede from the state. One of these rural (meaning Republican) counties would supposedly become part of Wyoming, while the other 10 would form a new state called North Colorado or Brigadoon or something.
Chris Christie is the odds-on favorite to win another gubernatorial term in New Jersey tomorrow, so certain of victory that he spent part of Saturday afternoon indulging in one of his favorite activities, publicly belittling a constituent. Christie wagged his finger in the face of teacher Melissa Tomlinson, who says he told her, "I'm tired of you people." A Christie staffer later disputed the quote, so you just know Tomlinson described it accurately. Once safely sworn in for another term, Christie will immediately forget about New Jersey and turn his attention to a presidential run.
Boston's mayoral election is also happening tomorrow, with last-minute polls still showing a tight race between Democrats Martin Walsh and John Connolly, and a significant number of voters still undecided. New York City, by contrast, will shock nobody by electing Bill de Blasio to succeed Michael Bloomberg; a poll released this morning shows the Democrat leading GOP opponent Joe Lhota by 41 points. Continue reading Stormy Monday, 11/4/13
My erstwhile hometown North Miami was supposed to elect a new mayor on May 14, but no winner has yet emerged, ballots are still being recounted, and the air is thick with innuendo and accusations of skullduggery. So far, nothing unusual for a Florida election, but this particular election has expanded the frontiers of weirdness in other ways.
Candidate Anna Pierre, who likes to refer to herself as a princess and who once had a hit song in her native Haiti, claimed that someone placed voodoo artifacts – "candles, food and dolls with pins stuck in them" – outside the door of her campaign headquarters on Easter Sunday. She also filed a complaint with police over the alleged theft of 50 campaign signs, and claimed that she had received phone calls telling her to abandon her candidacy.
The malevolence arrayed against her could only be countered with some sort of godsend, and she got one in the form of what she called "a spiritual endorsement" from none other than Jesus Christ. In spite of that, she finished dead last in the field of seven candidates. While she didn't publicly express disappointment that Christ's backing had failed to secure her a win, Pierre had plenty to say about other topics on her Facebook page:
I do, as it happens, but I confess to admiring Pierre's deep commitment to the truth, which actually prompted her to revise her post midway through:
So is she bitter about her defeat? It's actually a little hard to tell, but the caps do hint at some degree of discomfiture:
Pierre generously left her dozens of supporters with one potential consolation, at least:
Well, maybe. If a grilled cheese sandwich with a fuzzy image of the Virgin Mary on it can fetch $28,000 on eBay, I suppose anything's possible. Despite Pierre's difficulties, she's had it easier than at least one of her rivals, who got punched in the mouth:
Candidates Kevin Burns and Lucie Tondreau came in first and second, respectively, and will advance to a June 4 runoff, but first, a recount is underway at the behest of third-place finisher Joseph Smith, who, like Marcellus, believes that votes have gone missing. Marcellus contends that 746 absentee ballots have vanished, although election officials claim there was a simple clerical error and that no votes have disappeared.
Assuming the recount finds nothing nefarious, will the runoff result in a clear winner? It's Florida, of course, so nothing is guaranteed, but if neither James Baker nor David Boies is spotted in the vicinity over the next few weeks, I'll take it as a good sign.
TWO: Boy Wonder
Next time around, North Miami might want to consider emulating Dorset, Minnesota, which chooses its mayor by drawing a name from a hat. The current mayor, Robert "Bobbie" Tufts, seems to have a firm though surprisingly small hand on the municipal tiller. Tufts is four years old, but don't for a second underestimate him:
Tufts' one-year term is up in August, when the 22 citizens of Dorset will meet again to draw another name. What's next for Hizzoner? Fishing, dancing and singing, probably. It's a pity he can't be persuaded to relocate to South Florida, but he probably wants to finish kindergarten first.
THREE: Dark Horse's Ass?
Republicans face a difficult choice for the 2016 presidential election: go with a lackluster but known commodity (Tim Pawlenty, Jeb Bush, Mike Huckabee) or nominate a callow, intemperate know-nothing who will spend most of the campaign trying to keep his or her feet out of his or her mouth (Rand Paul, Kathy McMorris Rodgers, Bobby Jindal). Personally, I think their dream candidate is already waiting noisily in the wings. He's a Southerner, he'll be a young-but-not-too-young 48 in '16, he's as dumb as a jar of paint thinner, and his views on a wide variety of issues are shaped by a caustic combination of appalling bigotry, misinformation, arrogance, rudeness, spite, and a complete inability to show remorse. Like I said, a dream GOP presidential candidate. His name is Stacey Campfield.
The state Senator from Tennessee has "graced" this column several times in the past, first for getting banned from Nashville's Bistro at the Bijou because its owner, Martha Boggs, found his blatant homophobia objectionable. She described Campfield as "an embarrassment to the state" and noted: "He's really gone from being stupid to dangerous." More recently, I commented on Campfield's outrageous scheme to slash TANF benefits to families whose kids perform unsatisfactorily in school, a saga that ended (for now) with Campfield putting a hold on his bill shortly after being bested in a battle of wits with an eight-year-old girl.
Campfield's newest political performance art happening was inspired by the University of Tennessee's first annual Sex Week. He was scandalized – scandalized! – by reports of louche and lascivious activities at the event, including: "A lesbian bondage expert and a campus-wide condom scavenger hunt…"
Why, even the names of some of the events seemed calculated to drive uptight conservatives sprinting for the fainting couch:
But even Campfield realizes he can't just clamber up on a soapbox and scream about how icky sex is, so when university president Joe DiPietro appeared at a Senate subcommittee hearing last Thursday, Campfield resorted to the dependable tactic of using "fiscal responsibility" as a fig leaf for his mutated version of Victorian social conservatism, maintaining:
Campfield also took the opportunity to pout about a list of guest speakers at the university over a three-year period, a roster he claimed consisted mostly of "a whole lot of 'left.'"
In other Campfield news this week, a 2008 Democratic candidate for the state House had a libel suit against Campfield thrown out, but has filed notice of appeal:
The suit was tossed by a – surprise! – Republican judge on the grounds that Campfield didn't know that what he posted was false. Appeal or not, Campfield blithely continues to use his blog to offend, insult and demean, as he did with an April 21 post entitled "Here comes Feinstein again," which consisted of a cutaway graphic of an "assault pressure cooker" with sarcastic captions describing its component parts; the bottom handle is a "tactical pistol grip," the top handle a "folding stock," and the body of the cooker itself is described as "evil, black."
Campfield followed up this laugh riot with an appearance on CNN's Piers Morgan Live, where he commented:
If you think that's a knee-slapper, just wait until Campfield's acceptance speech at the 2016 Republican National Convention. Continue reading Take Five (Stool for Scandal edition)

About Me
I probably spent way too much time passionately following Chicago sports throughout most of my life. Baseball was "my sport" as I played it as well as I followed it. My dad played minor league baseball and could have been the next Nellie Fox had he not met my mom. I guess I should say "Thanks Dad." Hockey could have surpassed baseball in both regards IF I knew how to skate! It seemed like I had an innate feel for every aspect of the game while playing it--even more than I'm able to comprehend simply watching it!
Gig is my pen name which stems from where my wife and I live which is Gig Harbor, Washington, about 45 minutes south and west from Seattle. We built a cedar, lodge-style home there in 2004. She was the general contractor and I was the main finish laborer (and it goes on and on). She dances although she has had her left leg amputated below the knee in October of 2005. She's also a public speaker for "not giving up" and using service dogs focusing on audiences of children or others with disabilities. Andrea has been featured on Seattle TV, radio and newspapers. Her profession is social work, but is about to do her student teaching in hopes to become an elementary school teacher.
I teach science, drama and wilderness survival for a middle school in Orting, Washington. Orting is 41 miles south of Seattle. It's a magically beautiful setting with Mt. Rainier overwhelming us with its 14,410 majesty just 40 miles away. Nevertheless, it is that same majesty and locality that makes the Orting Valley highly susceptable to a deadly lahar if that mountain ever "blew it's top."
There are also bigfoot sightings virtually every year in the area. I'm not a thorough believer--seeing is believing--but I am a fan of "Finding Bigfoot." Yeah, I know; it's an addiction. It's one of the silliest shows ever made. I know it, but I still feel the need to watch it. There have been some recent shows such as a couple made by the "Survivor Man" Les Stroud set southwest of Calgary in the Rockies that are truly provoking I think. Anyway, all those people and all that evidence just can't be wrong and I'm waiting for the creme de le creme of evidence!
As stated, I certainly paid my dues as a die-hard fan since 1969-70. I admit that I'm far more towards "fair weather" these days which is likely a product of the "change of life" (I'm around the half century mark) and wanting a lot more out of my life as time progresses. I particularly enjoy live chats for the spontaneous repartee' that don't require as much time-taking research. I don't afford myself a lot of time anymore to make research-based arguments that I would expect from myself ordinarily. In fact, it makes me feel funny when I make statements that I know could be supported but aren't and then my statements get attacked as a result. My choice. Mea culpa, but just sayin'.
I have widely varied interests. I am one of the few ardent sports fans who can be found playing jazz standards and such on the piano or attending various locales such as the symphony, a Chicago (the band) or Pat Metheny concert, ski slopes, back country trails, Home Depot, libraries, museums, book stores, REI, or simply having a dark beer at a sports bar or a craft brewery. I was raised in a southwest Chicago suburb called Crestwood and my parents still live there and are South Side through and through. I love the White Sox and couldn't care less about the Cubs. I love to "hang out with the guys" and dearly miss deep-dish pizza and White Castles.
I am a graduate of the University of Illinois and do follow the football and basketball teams, but only when they're competitive. I love humor that is creative and clean with an intellectual bent even if it's stream-of-conscious improvisation. I loved Robin Williams when he was "on" and clean. In fact, some say I teach a lot like the character he played in "Dead Poets Society." I love intelligent argument and discourse that isn't mean-spirited or merely a "pissing contest." I also can get a bit goofy at times!

I noticed that all pages created would be under default category. Does anybody know how to change the categories of pages? Thanks.
I noticed that all pages created would be under default category. Does anybody know how to change the categories of pages? Thanks.
Pages practically do NOT have categories. Being assigned to the default category is just an "internal technical" thing for WP. Try to forget about it :)
Then how to delete the display of the default category that pages blogged in?
Delete the_category tag from your Page template (page.php)
Still nothing happened...
There is no page.php in my theme template. And to delete this file under the default theme of WP results in nothing. Then I saved index.php of my theme as page.php, delete "<?php _e("Bloged in"); ?> <?php the_category(',') ?>". In that case, page won't display category anymore.
Moshu, thanks. I didn't catch you until yesterday.
This has been bugging me for a while so I sat down and after about an hour of looking around I found where it's being called from. My solution assumes a bit of knowledge up front as it involves editing the database, either by hand or through phpmyadmin.
There is a table in the wordpress database that marries the post_id with the category_id, called wp_post2cat. This is where the change needs to be made.
First step is to generate a list of your categories and then match it against your page_id. Replace specific post information from my example with your own.
mysql> select * from wp_categories; (will generate the list)
mysql> select * from wp_post2cat where post_id = "1104";
| rel_id | post_id | category_id |
| 147 | 1104 | 1 |
1 row in set (0.01 sec)
Now that you've made sure it's there and what the id is:
mysql> UPDATE wp_post2cat
-> SET category_id = '5'
-> WHERE post_id = '1104';
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
Rows matched: 1 Changed: 1 Warnings: 0
And that's it. You've just changed the category.
Well this is neat, so pages do have categories.
It would be best if the wp team added a selection option inside the main admin menu to allow changing of page categories.
I don't think categories for pages are bad, I just wish I could change them w/o having to do what htheriault described...
It wouldn't make any difference. You can change whatever in the database but all the Pages you are going to write after - still would be in the default category. If you change your default category: from that moment on all the new Pages will belong to that new default.
I've just cooked it up in several minutes after reading this discussion, available in:
However, it doesn't mean there is any visible change. Just keep blogger categorize their pages more easily, nothing more. To present pages in a categorized way needs more coding. I believe some plugin has already done that.

I am curious about the Uri property:
public bool IsAbsoluteUri { get; }
Is it ever possible for it to be false? It doesn't seem that I can create a Uri that is not absolute. The latter (uriTwo) throws:
var uriOne = new Uri( "http://stackoverflow.com/about" );
var uriTwo = new Uri( "/about" );
Same seems to be true with the builder. What am I missing?

St. Paul, Minnesota
Saint Paul is the capital and second-most populous city of the U.S. state of Minnesota. The city lies mostly on the north bank of the Mississippi River, downstream of the river's confluence with the Minnesota River, and adjoins Minneapolis, the state's largest city.
Founded near historic Native American settlements as a trading and transportation center, the city rose to prominence when it was named the capital of the Minnesota Territory in 1849. Though Minneapolis is more nationally recognized, Saint Paul contains important institutions and the state's political activity. Regionally, the city is popular for the Xcel Energy Center, home of the Minnesota Wild, and for the Science Museum of Minnesota. As a business hub of the Upper Midwest, it is headquarters for companies such as Ecolab and Lawson Software.

Ratatouille is a game based on the Disney-Pixar film of the same name. It is a fun little platform game with some racing style levels. You will also play a ton of minigames and collect a lot of charms. You should have no problems with any of the achievements as they are all pretty straightforward. The game has several cheats you can use if for some reason you are struggling. You need to enter the following codes by going to Gusteau's Shop from the main menu, and entering codes. A cheat list can be found here but you probably won't need them.
Start playing through the game as you would any other. The first level, Somewhere in France, you need not make sure you get all 25 charms before you finish it as you cannot go back and play this level once it is complete. If you miss any you will have to restart if you want the achievement for collecting every charm. You will have to collect coins by doing missions to unlock the next area. Note that once you have done a main mission you cannot replay it, so take your time to make sure you have all coins in a mission before you move on.
A full charm guide can be found here, and following this guide while finishing all missions and minigames will net you most of the achievements.
I would suggest making sure you have every charm and done all minigames before you finish a particular level, although you can go back to all apart from the first level to get anything done you may have missed. There is a list of the locations of all missions and mini games here if you have trouble finding any.
Somewhere in France
When going for the charms, you will pick up King of the Stump, and Rolling Hills. Again, make sure you have gotten these all the charms before you progress as you won't be able to go back to get them.
Sewer Hub
The sewer hub is the central place you can get back to various levels. You arrive here after the first level. As soon as you get here you can get Pipe Cleaner.
City Lights
You will pick up quite a few achievements on this level if you get all the charms, missions and minigames done.
You will unlock Fly Remy Fly, Timber!, Don't Look Down, The Exterminator, Trunk o'Plenty, The City of Lights: Big Bounce and Down In The Dumpster. You will unlock Third Time Is The Charm Part 1 when you have all three minigames done.
Make sure you follow the achievement guide to get Trojan Horseradish as you won't be able to go back and get this.
Little Chef - Big Kitchen
Again following the charm guide and getting all missions and stuff done, you will unlock Gusteau Kitchen Getaway, Remy Ace, Go For The Gust-o, Complete Latchkey Distraction, Finish Elevation Extermination, Beat Chilli Pepper Valve Volley, Little Chef Big Kitchen: Bounce and Remy The Cowboy. You will unlock Third Time Is The Charm Part 2 when you have all three minigames done. Make sure you follow the achievement guide to get Special Delivery as you won't be able to go back and get it.
City Market
There are many achievements to be gained on this level if you get all the charms, missions and minigames done. You will get Switch Hunter, Complete Rolling Pin Rescue, Cold Snap, Ups and Downs, You're A Real Charmer, Hot Stuff, The Big Cheese, King Melon and Catch Of The Day. You will unlock Third Time Is The Charm Part 3 when you have all three minigames done. Make sure you follow the achievement guide to get, Sticky Situation and Bobbing for Lobsters as you won't be able to go back and get it.
When you have finished the City Market level, go back to the sewer hub and follow the guide to get Past The Waterfall and Boingy Boingy.
The Desserted Kitchen
You will pick up quite a few achievements on this level if you get all the charms, missions and minigames done. You will get Weights and Counterweights, Mixed Acrobatics, Swirl Swirl Down, Mary Ratkins, Coffee Falls, Gusteau Kitchen Getaway Part 2, and Top Shelf Remy.
Follow the acheivement guide to get Beat Hoisting The Heavy Weight, Light The Way and King Of Cheese as you won't be able to go back and get these.
You will unlock Third Time Is The Charm Part 4 when you have all three minigames done. You should have all minigames done now to unlock All Minigames Complete.
Once this level is complete you will have also beaten all missions unlocking Mission Complete.
Mopping Up
Any achievements you have left simply go back to the required level to pick them up.
If you have gotten all the charms from the levels, you should just have to mop up the ones left in the sewer. Once you have all 525 charms, All The Charms In The Game will unlock. This has been known to be a bit glitchy, i.e. charms not showing up or not being collectible (jump right through them). Worst case scenario, you could always run through the game real quick missing most of the minigames and stuff. Just focus on the charms and it won't take too long. If you are really paranoid about it you could always back up your save on a USB stick after every level once you are sure you have all charms from each level.
If you have no problems with glitching charms this is a pretty speedy 1000:gsicon:. Some of the minigames can get a bit frustrating but they are nice and varied to keep you entertained enough that it is not a drag to play. A couple of afternoons and the 100% is yours.

ATLANTA (AP) -- Police are thanking a bystander who came to the aid of an Atlanta police officer as she was being punched in the head repeatedly downtown.
Police said the officer stepped out of her vehicle after a man began beating on it, then she was attacked and pushed to the ground
Wednesday morning in downtown Atlanta.
Authorities say the officer was being punched repeatedly when
the bystander, Michael Reed, jumped out of his truck, tackled the
suspect and held him down until more officers arrived.
Reed told WSB-TV that he tackled the man "like I was playing
football again."
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that the officer, whose
name was not released, was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital for
Police said she was bruised, but expected to be OK.

a good funny movie but not an action one.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Twin Dragons (Widescreen) (DVD)
I am a cantonese person and I rent this US version dvd. Is some ways it disapointted me because it doesn't provide cantonese audio and they substitute English audio instead. Anyway, this movie is so funny is so ways. I especially like the bathroom scene. It can't help laugh loudly. The action parts are quite boring but I think American people would like to watch them.
I would like to give it a 4 stars if it provides chinese audio.

Indonesia volcano erupts again; kills at least 14
MOUNT SINABUNG, Indonesia -- An Indonesian volcano that has been rumbling for months unleashed a major eruption Saturday, killing 14 people just a day after authorities allowed thousands of villagers who had been evacuated to return to its slopes, saying that activity was decreasing, officials said.
Among the dead on Mount Sinabung were a local television journalist and four high-school students and their teacher who were visiting the mountain to see the eruptions up close, said National Disaster Mitigation Agency spokesman Sutopo Purwo Nugroho. At least three others were injured. Authorities feared the death toll would rise.
Sinabung in western Sumatra has been erupting for four months, sending lava and searing gas rolling down its slopes. Authorities had evacuated more than 30,000 people, housing them in cramped tents, schools and public buildings. Many have been desperate to return to check on homes and farms, presenting a dilemma for the government.
On Friday, authorities allowed nearly 14,000 people living outside a three-mile danger zone to return home after volcanic activity decreased. Others living close to the peak have been returning over the past four months despite the dangers.
On Saturday, a series of huge blasts and eruptions thundered from the 8,530-foot-high volcano, sending lava and pyroclastic flows up to 2.8 miles away, Nugroho said. Television footage showed villages, farms and trees around the volcano covered in thick gray ash.
Following the eruption, all those who had been allowed to return home Friday were ordered back into evacuation centers.

The purpose of a needle for the puncture of the spinal canal is threefold: (1) to measure the pressure of the spinal fluid; (2) to withdraw fluid through it for examination, and (3) to inject substances into the spinal canal.
The needles devised for this purpose, heretofore, have depended on the use of the three-way cock. Such mechanism is very apt to get out of order, and requires an undue amount of attention on the part of the operator in order that the flow of fluid may take its proper course.
For the past two months I have used a needle which I think overcomes these difficulties. It is efficient and at the same time easy to take care of. The needle possesses a stylet which is made so as to fit the barrel accurately, and is likewise so fashioned that it cannot be withdrawn during the use of the

Cooperative and Fractional Redundancy for Cost-Effective Mixed-Critical Flight Control Systems

Research Institution:
AbstractThe United States Air Force has a clear need for new unmanned assets that integrate with current assets in a mixed-initiative framework. The autonomy required by such assets, combined with the elevation of many mission-critical applications to flight-critical status, levies significant additional requirements for flight-critical computing and sensor hardware. Current approaches to this problem focus on integrating flight- and mission-critical software in order to avoid unnecessary replication of computer hardware. Sensors, however, remain unaddressed and require significant redundancy. Barron Associates will address this problem with two novel approaches to fault tolerance: cooperative redundancy and fractional redundancy. Cooperative redundancy allows a healthy aircraft to provide sensor data to a proximal aircraft that has experienced a sensor failure; fractional redundancy exploits analytical redundancy amongst sensors to reconstruct the value nominally supplied by a failed sensor. In the proposed research effort, Barron Associates will demonstrate cooperative redundancy by simulating an unmanned aircraft aiding another unmanned aircraft crippled by a sensor failure during the autoland flight phase. Barron Associates will also develop a general architecture for fractional redundancy and characterize the sensors to which both approaches are applicable. BENEFIT: Barron Associates anticipates a number of opportunities to apply this SBIR-developed technology to DoD programs. The DoD has a clear need for affordable unmanned assets that can integrate with current, manned assets. Hardware replication poses a challenge for affordability, yet single-string sensor suites offer insufficient reliability for flight-critical operations. Technologies like cooperative and fractional redundancy, which reduce hardware costs while maintaining suitable levels of reliability address this challenge and will help the DoD meet its need for affordable, reliable UAVs. Another evident application of the proposed fault-tolerance techniques is for manned aircraft. Fractional redundancy, in particular, has the potential to provide greatly improved failure isolation and recovery for critical sensors. Other potential uses of the proposed fault-tolerance technologies are in the areas of civilian UAVs intended to operate in the National Airspace as well as civilian manned aircraft. Last, fractional redundancy will offer the automotive sector cost reductions while maintaining overall sensor-suite reliability. There is an increasing trend in the automotive sector towards digital control systems for stability augmentation, braking, to four-wheel steering, etc., which will require reliable information from a diverse set of sensors.

The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao
by Junot Díaz
Literature and Writing Quotes in The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao
How we cite our quotes: (Act.Chapter.Section.Paragraph), (Act.Special Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
If the Yanks commit an error in the late innings it's zafa; if somebody brings shells in from the beach it's zafa; if you serve a man parcha [passionfruit] it's zafa. Twenty-four-hour zafa in the hope that the bad luck will not have had time to cohere. Even now as I write these words I wonder if this book ain't a zafa of sorts. My very own counterspell. (1.preface.13)
There are two opposing supernatural forces in this novel: fukú and zafa. A fukú is a heavy-duty curse; a zafa is something like a good luck charm or a counterspell. You say a zafa to protect yourself from a curse. Although writing isn't the major theme of this novel, Díaz privileges it enough to call it a zafa: a powerful counterspell against evil.
Quote #2
That summer his mother sent him and his sister to Santo Domingo, and this time he didn't fight it like he had in the recent past. It's not like he had much in the States keeping him. He arrived in Baní with a stack of notebooks and a plan to fill them all up. Since he could no longer be a gamemaster he decided to try his hand at being a real writer. The trip turned out to be something of a turning point for him. Instead of discouraging his writing, chasing him out of the house like his mother used to, his abuela [grandmother], Nena Inca, let him be. Allowed him to sit in the back of the house as long as he wanted, didn't insist that he should be "out in the world." (220.127.116.11)
It goes without saying that Oscar's mom doesn't support his interests. Beli is just that kind of mother. She's really traditional; she wonders, Shouldn't Oscar be doing manly things like scoring chicks or playing sports? La Inca, however, seems to be more sympathetic to what Oscar wants.
Quote #3
What is it with Dictators and Writers, anyway? Since before the infamous Caesar-Ovid war they've had beef. Like the Fantastic Four and Galactus, like the X-Men and the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, like the Teen Titans and Deathstroke, Foreman and Ali, Morrison and Crouch, Sammy and Sergio, they seem destined to be eternally linked in the Halls of Battle. Rushdie claims that tyrants and scribblers are natural antagonists, but I think that's too simple; it lets writers off pretty easy. Dictators, in my opinion, just know competition when they see it. Same with writers. Like, after all, recognizes like. (126.96.36.199)
Díaz says that writers and dictators are actually in competition with each other. Why? Well, when you read a novel, you're totally at the whim of the author. You have to believe what the author tells you, because the author has total control over this world. Same thing with being a citizen under a dictatorial leader. So, of course, dictators would like to restrict what gets written during their regimes; writers can breed dissent, can write alternative versions of history that portray dictators in unfavorable lights. That's what's with dictators and writers.
