Facebook has arbitrarily deleted more breastfeeding photos.
You know America can't take it when breasts are viewed in their primary, non-sexual role.
America wants balloon boobs! Bring on the freakishly gigantic, in-your-face Pamela Anderson knockers! Pay Carmen Electra more money for a calendar featuring her enormous rack! Let us create more sad stories like Heidi Montag, classic victim of boob-mania.
But boobs that are functioning the way the good lord intended? Obscene!
The photo was posted on Earth Mama Angel Baby's Facebook page. Here's what it has to say about discovering Facebook's rejection of a breastfeeding mama:
One, but not both, of the breastfeeding pictures on the photo strip had been deleted. Gone. Kaput. Huh? Why that one? This can't be right, right? There were two breastfeeding photos in the photo strip, so that can't be the reason it was removed. And Facebook has publicly stated it is not "cracking down" on breastfeeding photos.
It's worth a click over to Mama's Herb Garden website where she speculates on why Facebook deleted one breastfeeding photo and not the other. It's an example of how arbitrarily Facebook wields the delete button. Remember, someone has to flag the photos for them to be brought to Facebook's attention. So does Facebook even look at flagged photos before deleting them? Because if breastfeeding photos are inappropriate then what about the millions of girls (many underage) posting naughty photos of themselves posing in their bedrooms?
This controversy has been brewing as far back as 2007. Facebook initially claimed that breastfeeding photos violated its terms of service if they showed "an entire breast." Eventually it dropped the vague "entire breast" description and claimed that all photos with a visible nipple or areola were "obscene," "pornographic," or "sexually explicit."
As far I can tell, eliminating breastfeeding photos showing nipple flies directly in the face of actual laws supporting breastfeeding in public places throughout the United States, exposed breast or not. Additionally, the policy clearly implies that visible nipples or areolas always make photos of women obscene. Facebook is such a huge phenomenon, and for it to stigmatize breastfeeding and demean women is a huge blow to breastfeeding and America's generally puritanical attitude about such things.
The Facebook breastfeeding photo policy is not sitting well with hundreds of thousands of others, many of whom have expressed their outrage by joining a Facebook group called "Hey, Facebook, breastfeeding is not obscene!" To date, there are nearly 260,000 members.
The group, founded by San Diego mom Kelli Roman, urges Facebook to change its obscenity policy. "We expect you to realize that nursing moms everywhere have a right to show pictures of their babies eating, just like bottle-fed babies have a right to be seen," their petition reads. "In an effort to appease the closed-minded, you are only serving to be detrimental to babies, women, and society."
Agreed. Grow up, Facebook! If you're going to delete photos of nearly naked boobs why don't you start hitting up the underage crowd who routinely post naughty "self-portrait" pics instead of just randomly following your nipple rule. And why just women's nipples? If we're on a nipple witch hunt then you may as well be an equal opportunity nipple deleter, I've seen some pretty pornographic-looking man nipples.
It's such a bizarre cultural divide. We're totally cool with cleavage. The more boobies the better! On "family" television, no less. Bring on the sexy television boobies, Glee! Show us your nearly naked dancers, Dancing With The Stars! But God forbid you show a woman baring a nipple to breastfeed a child. That's pornography? Get a clue, America.
Here's a bunch of breastfeeding photos that Facebook has deleted thus far. So what do you think? Is Facebook going too far or do you agree with their policy? It's not that I think some of these photos are that great, I'd even go so far as to say some are just plain tacky – but not inappropriate. My thought is that if your child is on Facebook (or the internet, period), you should be prepared for them to see such photos. Furthermore, it wouldn't bother me for my child to see a breastfeeding photo, nipple and all. It's human biology, baby.

SEATTLE - Officials and pot advocates looking for any sign of whether the Obama administration will sue to block legal pot laws in Washington state and Colorado or stand idly by as they are implemented got one from the president himself.
But it did little to clear the air.
While they welcomed President Barack Obama's comments that catching pot users was a low priority for his administration, they said it didn't answer a bigger question: Will federal prosecutors and drug agents also look the other way?
Article Photos
This Nov. 8, file photo shows marijuana plants flourishing under the lights at a grow house in Denver. President Barack Obama says he won't go after Washington state and Colorado for legalizing marijuana. In a Barbara Walters interview airing Friday on ABC, Obama is asked whether he supports making pot legal. He says, 'I wouldn't go that far.'
Pot advocates say they are leery since previous statements from the administration that it wouldn't go after individual medical marijuana users was followed by crackdowns on dispensaries and others who grew and sold the pot.
"There's some signal of hope," said Alison Holcomb, who led Washington's legalization drive, but added that it will take more than the president to clarify the issues around legal pot. "We ultimately need a legislative resolution."
In an interview with Barbara Walters scheduled to air on ABC on Friday, Obama said that going after "recreational users" would not be a "top priority" in the two states, where voters legalized pot use in November.
In his comments, the president didn't specifically address how the federal government would respond to state officials in Washington and Colorado, who are beginning work on regulations for commercial pot sales.

Dwight Saunders to be sentenced next week
A St. John's man who was at the centre of a standoff with police last month will be sentenced next week.
Dwight Jonathan Saunders pleaded guilty to four charges Friday in provincial court in St. John's — possessing a firearm (a shotgun) while prohibited from doing so and carelessly using a firearm, along with fraud and breach of probation.
The 27-year-old was arrested Dec. 9. RNC officers had responded to a report that Saunders had barricaded himself inside a house on Thorburn Road with a gun and was threatening to kill himself.
Several homeowners in the immediate area were evacuated and a portion of Thorburn Road was closed at the time.
RNC crisis negotiators had established communication with Saunders, who had a 12-gauge shotgun. After two hours, Saunders was safely removed from the house and taken into custody.
Judge Pam Goulding is expected to render her decision on sentencing Tuesday.
Saunders is no stranger to the courts.
He has several convictions on his lengthy criminal record, including assault causing bodily harm, assault with a weapon, break and enters, mischief, theft, assaults, uttering threats, possessing drugs, failing to stop at the scene of an accident, failing to comply with a sentence and several breaches of court orders.
However, the most notable court case happened more than three years ago.
In May 2010, Saunders was given a 14-month jail term for sexually assaulting a woman with a disability and stealing her computer.
As part of his sentence, Saunders had his name listed on the national sex offenders registry for 20 years.
He was found guilty of sexual assault and theft under $5,000 by a jury in April 2010 following a two-week trial at Newfoundland Supreme Court.
Saunders' conviction stemmed from a November 2008 party, during which the 19-year-old woman was assaulted at her apartment.
She has mitrochondrial disease, a neuromuscular disorder that affects speech, sight, hearing, motor skills and balance. Because of her speech difficulties, she had to testify at the trial using a computer.

The Supreme Court could announce its ruling on the constitutionality of President Barack Obama's health care law passed in 2010 as early as today.
If not today, the ruling would be announced Thursday.
The heart of the law is the so-called individual mandate that requires every adult to buy health insurance. The reason boils down to actuarial common sense: If just sick people buy health insurance, policies are going to be very expensive and the insurance sellers will quickly go broke.
It's no different than car insurance, expect for the fact that now instead of states telling you what you have to buy, it's the federal government -- and that is a huge leap, according to some experts.
A new insider survey of 58 legal experts conducted after the oral arguments concluded in March found that most predict the court will strike down the individual mandate.
The same expert survey was conducted before the hearings began, which found the opposite: Most thought the law would be upheld.
Using a scale from 0 to 100, the pollsters asked the 38 former clerks of current Supreme Court justices and 18 attorneys who have argued before the court to rate the probability that the individual mandate provision would be declared unconstitutional.
The insiders provided an average rating of 57 percent, a significant jump from the pre-hearing survey, when the average was just 35 percent.
Americans don't like being told they have to do anything. But with more than 50 million Americans unable to afford basic health care, the status quo seems intolerable.
Saturday's poll, results

As you inch toward the end of this overcast and at-times soggy work week, here's a happy thought: Saturday promises some sunshine and slightly warmer temperatures.
And so does this afternoon, in fact.
Today's forecast looks like this: clouds to start, a chance of morning rain, then gradual clearing. The mercury will land somewhere in the low 60s by afternoon.
Friday's forecast looks a lot like today's, except there's a chance of afternoon rain. And then there's Saturday. Expect partly sunny skies and a daytime high topping out in the low 60s.

Bentley is in Germany this week, leading a state delegation of economic developers and elected officials who are trying to lure supplier projects and other business related to Airbus' planned $600 million, 1,000-job aircraft assembly plant in Mobile.
Airbus and Alabama officials see the plant as a transformational project that could create ripples of new jobs and investment across the state, much like Mercedes-Benz did with the state auto industry.
"With Airbus building its first U.S.-based production facility in Mobile, the entire state is poised for growth," Governor Bentley said in a statement provided by his office. "Suppliers can benefit from the same positive business climate that helped us attract Airbus. We're ready to work with companies and partner with them to bring even more jobs to Alabama."
The Alabama delegation has met with at least nine companies considering a possible move to the state, according to Greg Canfield, secretary of the Alabama Department of Commerce.
In his speech, Bentley noted the Alabama Industrial Development Training program and a new supplier support network that will serve as a "one-stop shop" to help companies understand regulations, permitting, workforce recruitment, training opportunities and more.
"Alabama has the best workforce you'll find anywhere in the world, and on top of that, we also have the best workforce training program," Bentley's statement said. "Our AIDT workforce training program helps companies of various sizes have the highly-skilled workers they need in order to compete and succeed."More than 300 representatives of 150 companies are attending the Aviation Forum. Bentley is expected to return to Alabama on Thursday.

Greece, NY - A suburban Rochester man faces charges after telling the Secret Service of a desire to kill former President George W. Bush.
Ian Rotunno was detained Oct. 7 after he abruptly left his job and told a coworker that he was headed to Washington D.C. with his shotgun.
Authorities said when agents phoned Rotunno about the remark, he was already in his car armed with the gun, knives, a bat and handcuffs.
He never made it to Washington. After talking to agents, he drove to a police station in Owego.
Secret Service agents say that in subsequent interviews in recent days, Rotunno said he planned to fire the gun into the reflecting pool on the National Mall, but also spoke of wanting to kill Bush with his bare hands.
A woman who identified herself as Rotunno's grandmother told the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle newspaper that Rotunno may have "a mental issue."

Kent nursing assistant training school to award scholarships to unemployed moms
Blossom Nursing Assistant Training School will give away three scholarships valued at more than $2,000 to deserving single mothers who are out of work throughout the Puget Sound, said school president Doris Akinlosotu.
The scholarships will be handed out from 1-5 p.m. Nov. 17 at a grand opening at the school, 24860 Pacific Highway S., Kent.
The school's mission is to help train men and women from all walks of life to become outstanding caregivers.
While Akinlosotu is proud to fulfill a lifelong dream of opening a state-of-the-art school, she has never lost sight of the forgotten ones. She has reserved a soft spot in her heart for out-of-work single mothers.
"Nowadays many heads of household are single moms who have the desire to go back to school, but oftentimes cannot fulfill that ambition because of a lack of funds to realize that aspiration," Akinlosotu said. "Success for me is not only to fulfill that American dream, it also informs my responsibility to help the less fortunate among us."
The school has been training certified nursing assistants (CNA) for more than two years, which leads to certification from Washington state. Blossom's recently was approved by the state to become the first "bridge" school to teach the nursing assistant alternative training program for certified medical assistants.
The program is a way for a medical assistant certified (MA) to become a nursing assistant certified (CNA) after completing 24 hours of additional training.
For further information about the school or the grand opening, contact Akinlosotu at 206-228-9990, or visit www.blossomcna.com.

NEWARK -- The Haynes Avenue bridge will be re-opened during the holiday season in an attempt to ease traffic tie-ups for Christmas and New Year's commuters, transportation officials said.
The avenue, which has been closed between the Bessemer Street interchange and Meeker Street for construction, will be re-opened for three or four weeks, state Department of Transportation spokesman Timothy Greeley said.
The roadway had been closed as part of a $9 million dollar project aimed at repairing the Haynes Avenue bridge deck, replacing deck joints and bearings, and resurfacing the avenue, Greeley said.
The bridge will close again in mid-January, according to Greeley, and repairs are expected to wrap up in early 2010.

Zach Luke felt the anticipation of pitching for a Colonial League baseball championship early this morning.
The junior right-hander answered the call by hurling a two-hit shutout to lead Notre Dame High School to a 3-0 victory tonight over Saucon Valley in the league title game at Limeport Stadium.
It was the first league title for Notre Dame (18-4) since 2007.
"I was really anxious to play this game," said Luke, who struck out three and walked two. "At school during first period all the guys were texting each other. We were just so ready to play this game."
The only hits Luke allowed were Joe Schuyler's leadoff double in the first inning and Bryan Schoch's two-out single in the fourth. Did Luke ever have a better performance on the mound?
"I don't think so, not under these circumstances," Luke said. "This is big ... just an awesome feeling."
"Zach did an awesome job," Notre Dame coach Mike Bedics said. "We felt like he was in control from the beginning. He kept his composure."
Luke got plenty of help from sophomore shortstop Eric Santiago, who recorded five assists.
"That's something we've come to expect from Eric," Bedics said. "He does a phenomenal job. He should be a nice fixture for us the next two years."
Saucon Valley pitcher Austin Cawley also allowed just two hits, but was the victim of some bad luck. Two Notre Dame runs were unearned and the third run was also the result of some shoddy fielding.
"Austin pitched one heck of a game," Panthers coach Phil Sams said. "He pitched his heart out. We just didn't hit the ball today. Their guy (Luke) is one heck of a pitcher, too."
Saucon Valley (14-8) threatened in the top of the first when Schuyler led off with his double down the right field line. Nate Harka sacrificed him to third. But Luke struck out Anthony Sneska and right fielder John McDonald saved a run when he made a sliding catch on Tommy Misiak's sinking line drive.
Harka, playing center field, made a sparkling grab when he ranged deep into left-center to rob Charlie Barebo of extra bases in the last of the second.
Notre Dame broke through in the last of the third without the aid of a hit. Walks to McDonald and Kyle Buchman put two runners aboard with two outs. Cawley nearly struck out Santiago to end the inning, but he just got a piece of his 2-2 curve ball before working a walk to load the bases.
Paul Roth, who before the game was named the league MVP, followed with a routine ground ball that went between the legs of second baseman Schuyler, allowing two runs to score.
Notre Dame tacked on another run in the fifth. Matt Simko led off with a double, the Crusaders' first hit, on a fly ball that carried over the head of left fielder Zach Thatcher.
"Zach is a great outfielder," Sams said. "He just took a step in and then I think he had trouble with the wind and the lights and everything."
Buchman beat out a slow roller to the right side to put runners on the corners. Santiago followed with a sacrifice fly to shallow right field to extend the lead to 3-0. It turned out to be more than enough for Luke, who fired a called third strike past Adam Hough to end the game.
"This is what we get out of our pitchers," Bedics said. "They keep us right in the game, and we were fortunate to get some runs. We got some breaks when we needed them."

BREAKING NEWS: National Parks Unlocked for Woodchipping. Prime Minister Julia Gillard has made a surprise early visit to Tasmania, announcing that she will adopt in full Green's recommendations to allow logging in Tasmania's national parks. It appears Ms Gillard inadvertently passed legislation proposed by Deputy Premier Green, rather than the Parliamentary Greens. Premier Lara Giddings has welcomed the announcement, saying it will create millions of new jobs.

What? A hoax surely.Posted by John Biggs on 07/08/11 at 09:16 AM
I was always worried a typo could result in this…just like the rabbi eradication program on Macca….Posted by Geoff Couser on 07/08/11 at 10:11 AM
The signing of th.e Forest Peace Pact to appease the Greens has weakened the governments' position which has led to more demands by the Greens.
The average hard working Tasmanian has been left feeling betrayed by both Julia Gillard and Lara Gidding.Posted by Robin Halton on 07/08/11 at 03:02 PM
Robin Halton, #2, saw nothing the least bit absurd about the report above, except that it still appeared unfair to the hardworking chippers.

"MILLION"'S of new jobs..oh boy it is such a pity you can not inject these idiots with brain matter that works!
Kay SeltitzasPosted by Kay Seltitzas on 07/08/11 at 11:09 PM
I'm glad Jularia recognise that millions of jobs can be created by this. Then that surely means taking in one and a half million refugees possibly was a good idea after all? One new camp in the Florentine and another on a redundant site in the Tamar Valley should ease the accomodation problem, then we can build them special schools to train them in the use of chainsaws, etc and give them extra hospitals and supply them with extra police guards and bring in a work force to build houses and mosques for them. Full employment without the necessity of tourists and Tasmania's future looks decidedly rosy.
Bring it on, I say!Posted by Barnaby Drake on 08/08/11 at 01:23 AM
Robin Halton: You (grouping your ilk) are not going to continue destroying the environment, flattening and scorching, in high conservation forests that has evolved after milleniae just so you can grow weeds. That is all there is to it. Not in this state, this country or any other country.Posted by John Wade on 08/08/11 at 07:51 AM
The Pubic Land Use Commission was set up in the early 1990's to re define state lands to develop the current system where land is dedicated as National Parks, Reserves and State Forest.
To the best of my knowledge this has already been achieved. Recently some former Forest Reserves-FT are now dedicated as State Reserves-PWS. The Three Thumbs State Reserve up behind Orford is an example.
It was agreed under the RFA 1997-2017 FT would manage State Forest for both Wood Production, Recreation and recognise Special Values through the relevent legislation to protect soils based on geological type and geomorphology , riparian- rivers and stream classifications, fauna and flora- protection of rare and endangered, cultural heritige, aboriginal heritage and fire management.
All of these aspects are enshrined in specific legislation and it is a requirement of the Forests Practices Code administered by the FPA that road line surveys, quarrying site surveys and pre harvesting surveys are carried out by FPO's either as consultants or FT's own staff to develop Forest Practice Plans along with input from the Timber Processor and Harvesting Contractor
From my experience irregularities can arise through sharp observation, ability to read the landscape, local knowledge and intensive technical training to a satisfactory level of competency (FPO certified- Inspecting or Planning)
FPA have specialist staff (Biodiversity Officers) who are professionally qualified with and experienced to offer advice to FPO's formulating FPP's. In some cases coupes destined for harvest have been deleted from Production to be reserved for perpetuity based on compliance to Special Values.
The FPA Specialists work in close liason with PWS Specialists and it is not unusual for FPO's to be subjected to workshops and courses involving the recommended management of Special Values that may require further attention for detailed management based on up to date findings.
All FT staff including harvesting contractors are trained to be observant while working in the field, a formal Reporting System is in place.
In summary it is pointless for the Federal/ State government to waste up to $7M/ annum ongoing for an Independent Verification Group lead by Prof. Johnathan West to carry out environmental studies within the 430,000ha of SF earmarked as HVC area when this work is being already carried out as I have stated above!
Duplication study is not necessary, all it will achieve is the creation of further unresolvable differences to appease Green idealogy.
The SOP does not include all affected parties FT for example and therefore should not be signed by of those such as FIAT and TWA who will effectively be appeasing the Greens and giving them a stronger position to shut down Forestry in Tasmania.Posted by Robin Halton on 08/08/11 at 10:24 AM

do they turn their kids into statists in pursuit of their own status fantasies also?
"Ah, those endless forests, and their horror-haunted gloom! For what eternities have I wandered through them, a timid, hunted creature, starting at the least sound, frightened of my own shadow, keyed-up, ever alert and vigilant, ready on the instant to dash away in mad flight for my life. For I was the prey of all manner of fierce life that dwelt in the forest, and it was in ecstasies of fear that I fled before the hunting monsters."
Jack london, "Before Adam"
2) The questions is: (say the Romans were the first) why did the Romans do those things? Why did they adopt Weitko? That's what I'm trying to understand. As best as I can tell, they had the luxury to because of their military, and they wanted to because it made them wealthier (aka it was a competitive advantage).
And now that we go back that far, you start thinking two more things.
1, the origin of Weitko was more ignorance than arrogance because science was quite unrefined at the time before the common era.
2, the fact that countless people have repeated this same mistake for thousands of years brings you to a question: Is Weitko an instinctual human response to the societal/environmental stimuli, or has all evidence for non-Weitko decisions effectively been wiped clean of the history books because they simply couldn't compete with Weitko-following people. Weitko is a competitive advantage, but it leads to destructive competition. Now, that makes the most sense to me. Weitko is ignorance and/or corruption of the government to prevent destructive competition.
3) Interesting; I hadn't put 2 and 2 together on that point yet. Correct me if I'm wrong because now I'm going back to your previous post to summarize what "the problem" is. Our system has progressively made it easier for collectives (these collectives are 5 threats you mentioned already) to gain power, and they aren't merely threats; they are actually taking away personal liberties.
However, let's pretend we lived during the time that "liberty" was at its peak. Doesn't personal liberty for one take away personal liberty for another? Economically, a rich person used his liberty to attain such wealth, but he's basically stripped economic power from the poor people near him. The difference between power and liberty is minor in a real circumstance, despite it's vast difference on paper.
So I agree that certain liberties are gone, but certain new powers have also been granted (not just economically, but technologically and anything defined under the mystical "quality of life"). How could we maximize both, at the same time, in the current modern world?
Furthermore, in agreement that energy consumption is the primary problem our civilization faces, how has a decrease in personal liberties exasperated this problem?
-If it hasn't, then would you agree that the change in liberties have been felt quite unevenly among all people (some win, some lose), so it's not totally accurate to call it a total loss. That also makes liberty a social problem, rather than a "life or death" sustainability problem.
-If it has, then why? If so, I'd say it's a lifestyle problem rather than an ideological problem. Perhaps "Weitko" decreases when people are living more autonomously. If this is the case, the libertarians would be right on something.

So now there is a discussion on Western civilization, political influence, and the definition of "liberty" on MDA....this makes me really happy, for some reason.
1) -- "Wetiko" is an Native American word that means to "consume the soul", or to "consume all".
An example would be war; and this brings in your "competitive advantage" idea....despite a lot of war amongst various "tribes" all over the world prior to the rise of Western civilization, it was not what we, or for that matter the Romans, would recognize as war. It was not fought by the hundreds of thousands, with the obliteration of the other people as the spoken objective. This is a new phenomenon in humanity, having only been around about 2000 years. We were around for a VERY long time before that.
And it is not an inevitability of civilization or technology. Many of the South American tribes of the time, or others in the East, were arguably MORE advanced than the Romans. They also had large populations, warring interests, government, etc....and war of extermination was still not a product of it. War was fought with few numbers, and all out death was rare. Often very physical sport took the place of war. (Lacrosse got its start this way) We did not go Von Clousewitz, "Total War" on each other for thousands of years. No other species does it, and we don't do it naturally either.
Jared Diamond's "The World Before Yesterday", and Grossman's "On Killing" both touch on this. (You referenced him earlier)
Wetiko is not really a policy, but a mindset. It is EVERYWHERE in the world now that has been infected by the Western strain, or by the Eastern one that came out of Japanese imperialism.
Oil: No debate on whether maybe we shouldn't just use it all, as fast as possible.
News: A euphemism for "entertainment through real-life suffering or mockery"
Pornography: Taking a beautiful thing and turning it into an object of one's consumption, like a woman is a commodity.
Banking: Open usury, fraud, without any real reform.
Arguments: Objective is to humiliate the opponent, or force into silence.
It is a mindset that says that it is acceptable, expected, smart to take and consume all that will allow you to consume it.
I was introduced to it when I was a teenager and went a Havisu Indian reservation in Arizona....these people were around for a thousand years before Rome's founding....it was probably the most transformative experience of my life.
And I learned, most importantly, that THEIR way of thinking is our natural state, not Wetiko. We are not designed to be so aggressive....as they say in the play South Pacific: "It must be carefully taught". It clearly gives a competitive advantage, in the same sense that if I decide to win in hockey by drugging the other goalie and cross-checking every opponent in the neck to put them out of the game....but that does not make it legitimate.
2) Liberty is not power. Power is the ability to alter the lives of other people. Liberty is the principle, with institutions, that limits one's ability to do that. Power and liberty are opposing forces.
A rich land-owner, like the nobility of old England, might decide that he is going to demand that I go to his church to tithe, must allow soldiers of the country to stay in the home he is serving to me, and ensure that I do not have the ability to vote on anything of importance....in this sense, he is powerful.
But if a government exists that expressly forbids him from doing this (which many millions did not have, for a long time), expressly gives me the unaltered right to have a gun, to NOT be forced to quarter soldiers against my will, to go wherever the hell I want on Sunday mornings, I have gained more liberty....my "soul's right to breathe" has flexed its muscles. I am no longer his pawn.
What has happened is that the powerful have been able to re-define all of these terms. Now, so long as I exercise my power in purely fiscal terms, I can call it a "free market", and others will do my bidding for me "on principle". I can restrict people's ability to vote, to prevent "fraud". I can take guns away for "safety". Power is always best-served to re-define terms, rather than actually fight.
I would argue that quality of life has been declining in the US for about 35 years, if not longer. We are a very unhappy, unfulfilled, frustrated people.....because apparently they have been MOST effective at covering up the biggest hole in our structure:
Wetiko and democracy are also opposing forces....the ideal to consume all, to take, to be like cannibalistic sharks to one another cannot co-exist with democracy. It doesn't now and never has. We will get, are getting, exactly what should be expected. If one objectifies and consumes all, others are looking at you in the same manner.
Power and Wetiko are driven by each other....liberty and democracy oppose them. It is the same, everywhere, and for the past 50 years it is VERY clear who is winning.

"The soul that does not attempt flight; does not notice its chains."
I just realized something. Government, in itself, is a check against absence of government. Government prevents anarchy, right? We knew that, but here's why anarchy has one less check in its system of already lacking checks and balances. Because people are united under government, they are able to work together whenever an extremely large problem comes along. This problem could even come directly *from* the government.
Now, think about anarchy. Something goes wrong amid these small, disjointed communities. This "wrong" is massive, but who is able to fight it? We would essentially have to signal "one if by land, two if by sea" by lamp light considering the fact that more autonomous, independent communities necessarily means less infrastructure and thus, less ability to communicate long distances.
Perhaps, you can think of giving the government certain powers (which could possibly strip your own certain liberties), and in exchange, because everyone does this, you decrease the chances of *major, major* problems. Trading more minor problems for less major problems, you achieve a more stable way of life.
The main way this breaks down is when government reaches an absolute totalitarian level. You need things like free speech and free guns to prevent that.

You need to keep in mind the difference between the "government" and the "state". The former is a democratic institution that creates policy, the latter is an autocratic institution that deals in force.
This distinction was originally made by anarchists. They realized that the "state" was what empowered corporate/capitalist interests. So they sought to get rid of it. They didn't necessarily want to get rid of "government", decision-making by the people.
Then came "libertarians", who carry water for corporate elites. They want to get rid of government but keep the state.
William S. Burroughs said that when fascism comes to America it will be called anti-fascism. That sounds right.
There's only a few absolutes in life. One, it's better to be something than nothing (in other words, value exists). Two, people are driven mostly by survival (bodily, genetically, memetically). Three, everything else is dynamic and complex. This makes it a bit hard to describe one's attitudes on many things, like politics (if you disagree, you're a moron) and general life philosophy.
I've basically come to see it this way: It is better to be balanced in waiting and imbalanced when striking. This goes for competition of all forms. "Waiting" applies to everyday life pursuits, and "striking" applies to any moment where you have a clear opportunity to do something. I'll relate to pornography. Better to not use it much as you search for women in real life. This is the balanced approach. When you find that woman you want, aggressively pursue her. This is the imbalanced approach. If you get stuck with imbalance on a daily basis, your life will quite clearly become imbalanced. Some say moderation is the way of life, some say moderation is for cowards. My impulses agree with the latter, but my logic sees it both ways; the simple complexity of life weaves on...
2) So you define liberty, not as what you can do, but as what others can prevent you from doing? Understood, but in the real life, there is no noticeable difference between what you can do and what you can do to others; everyone lives in the same area, so everyone is interconnected. That is why power and liberty, despite one possibly being the negative of the other, are intimately connected.
However after reading the rest of your section here, I think we're on the same page. The key point is that power must be spread around rather than allowed to congregate in a few. That's democracy.
Weitko and democracy are opposing forces? I agree. That's why I said Weitko is the failure of democracy, essentially. Just more specifically, it's ignorance and/or corruption of the government to prevent destructive competition.

Shopping for the little ones? If you think your kids are missing out on the wonderful effects of retail therapy, then you better listen to this. Swedish fashion retailer H&M is converting its existing boutique at Arabian Centre in Dubai and will unveil a kids-only concept store on August 12.
The new store will carry the full and extensive range of H&M's children's wear, effectively becoming one of H&M's first flagship stores for kids. The children's range is divided into various concepts: 0 – 18 months, 1.5 – 8 years, and 9 – 14 years. The collections are intended to be as fashionable as they are practical, durable, safe and comfortable.
The childen's wear boutique will carry H&M's Spring/Summer 2010 collection which features a diverse mix of trends, with ethnic influences from all over the world. Among these influences are the Global Traveler trend, which incorporates American-style fashion classics and college style looks. Florals are also a top element in the collection, being an integral aspect of the Spring and Summer seasons.

Breaking news: Our contact at H&M has just informed us that the F/W collection for infants (0-18 months old) has arrived and is now available in stores. It sure is never too early for anyone to learn a thing or two about fashion.
The collection consists of pieces that are practical, hard-wearing, safe and comfortable. To guarantee the highest level of safety, H&M's children's items undergo rigorous testing. With a focus on function and safety, the season's trends are expressed in a playful way.

Boston-based acoustic music quintet Della Mae, recently named emerging artist of the year by the International Bluegrass Music Association, may look to the past for inspiration, but their music sounds fresh and contemporary.
Since the release of their album "I Built This Heart" a couple of years ago, Della Mae has won an enthusiastic following through high-energy live performances at festivals around the country. They play at The Ark Monday.
"This World Oft Can Be," Della Mae's second album and Rounder-label debut, shows – like the Avett Brothers, Lumineers and Punch Brothers – these five young women are respectful of American musical tradition, but not restricted by it.
"Impressive and highly commercial," wrote the U.K.'s Guardian newspaper in a review of the new CD.
In addition to playing festivals and clubs throughout the United States, Della Mae recently expanded the scale of its touring efforts after participating in the U.S. State Department's American Music Abroad program. Selected as cultural ambassadors, the band spent 43 days traveling in Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, where they collaborated with local musicians, taught educational programs for children, and played concerts for local audiences.
"It's been a life-changing experience for us, individually and as a band," founder and two-time national fiddle champion Kimber Ludiker said of the tour.
"A cool thing about playing music in Central Asian countries is in the lack of distinction their audience places between musical genres. We found that if music is played with feeling, all people connected to it. They find themselves smiling and relating without even understanding the language."
Della Mae plays at The Ark at 8 p.m. Monday Oct.21. Tickets are $15. Details at www.theark.org or 734-761-1451.

MONTGOMERY, Alabama -- Some top leaders in the Alabama House and Senate are pushing to eliminate the current 'open door' policy in statehouse offices, citing that the policy does not provide lawmakers with sufficient ability to manage their time. The new policy would require anyone wishing to speak to lawmakers to make an appointment.
Sen. Del Marsh (R-Anniston), Senate president pro tem, and House Speaker Mike Hubbard, (R-Auburn), said they are not proposing the policy to to shut constituents out, but to rid statehouse offices of the constant bombardment of unannounced lobbyists that plague the hallways each day.
al.com readers sound off on the pros and cons of the proposed policy:
- "Lobbyists and the public should be required to make an appointment before trying to meet with any member of the legislator. The legislators job is like any other business and should be run as such, giving them time to do their business and schedule meetings as time permits. Lobbyists have had too much 'free run' of the place and in many cases prevented the general public from meeting with their legislative representatives in a timely manner. I totally support restrictive access." - lock5
- "Lobbyists have absolutely no business talking to our legislators, period. Our representatives are elected by the people, for the people. Not by business or for business. They represent me, not oil or banking or airlines or the automotive industry. It's about time they start listening to me instead of them." - bondsbw
- "We need a law that prohibits members of the legislature from pressuring or even meeting with state employees...this sort of political interference should be a crime." - TTownTony
Others disagree, saying that limiting lawmakers accessibility would hamper the ability for non-lobbying citizens to express themselves.
- "I have always been proud of the fact that any citizen -- young, old, white, black, conservative, liberal -- could visit the State House while the Legislature is in session and share with their lawmaker whatever is on their mind. Restricting public access is a slippery slope toward a lock out of public expression." - BeenThere
- "So, we are not electing 'leaders' to represent us, we are electing 'special people' that are not accessible. These folks have now anointed themselves as 'better' than us, and even more 'special' than all those that have come before them. It would be a good lesson to them if every citizen in every district jammed the phone lines making appointments." - bpin

It's Wednesday morning, Northwest Portland and I trust it's a good one.
How are those Thanksgiving preparations coming? Here's a list of Thanksgiving cooking hotlines, just in case. On my to do list this evening: pies.
A man was attacked with a machete near the Burnside Bridge last night. The attacker fled along Northwest First Avenue. The victim was hospitalized and is expected to recover.
Labor disputes at the Port of Portland continue: a looming strike which threatens to close three terminals including terminal 2 in the Northwest Industrial District is causing shippers to make plans to bypass the port.
Today's editorial about the labor disputes suggests that the Governor may need to step in.
Four downtown Willamette River bridges were listed this week on the National Register of Historic Places. Which ones? The Broadway, Burnside, Hawthorne and Morrison.
Laura Gunderson has this rundown on shopping at small local businesses throughout the weekend. There's the holiday tree lighting at Jamison Square on Saturday and check out explorethepearl.com for more.
And today's intriguing tidbit from the Daily Journal of Commerce: "An early land-use intake has been filed for an 18- to 24-story apartment building with approximately 200 to 270 units for Northwest 12th Avenue. The project is being developed by Oseran Investment Co., a small local commercial development company."
A hot Thanksgiving meal for those in need will be served at Portland Rescue Mission at 6 p.m. today.

What makes you blush?
For years, scientists have been perplexed by why our body responds by blushing when we have a crush, are the center of attention, etc., and why the hues of blushing can be so varied. Even Charles Darwin struggled to explain blushing, describing it as "the most peculiar and the most human of expressions."
It's clear blushing is personal. Every woman's flush is a unique shade all her own. With that in mind, Le Métier de Beauté introduces the Kaleidoscope Blush Kit. We've heard of a "lipstick wardrobe," think of this as one for the cheeks.
A Blush of Color Theory
"When we blush it's not one shade; it's a prismatic multitude of color. To express how you feel or the feeling you want to evoke, you need to layer color for that perfect flush," says Le Métier de Beauté's Director of Color Mikey Castillo. "In order to create dimension, there must be at least two pigments that are contrasting in tone or texture. For instance, matte with sheen, satin with matte, pink with coral, or mauve with bronze. Layering multiple shades eliminates flatness while bring vitality to the skin- this is true of colorwhether it is on the eyes, lips, or cheeks."
The Blush Kaleidoscope contains a selection of these contrasting shades and textures, giving the wearer infinite possibilities.
The Shades
"The whole delight of a blush collection is to enable a woman to create a multitude of looks by blending two or more of the multiple hues in the Blush Kaleidoscope," says Mr. Castillo. The beautiful and balanced combination of the shades creates an effortless, feminine glow. Blend the matte shades for day, and transition to evening with a sensuous, shimmery layer. The four-in-one stacked kitincludes a satin peach, a matte rose pink, a shimmery highlighter and a cool pink. Each shade is finely-milled for adjustable coverage, transparency andintensity. The shine-absorbing, oil-free formula is safe for all skin types including sensitive skin.

The district attorney wants to hire a special detective to lead the unit of four additional investigators who would serve on a volunteer basis. The volunteers would be current or former law enforcement officers with extensive homicide experience.
The unit, Morganelli said, would utilize the services of the Vidocq Society, a Philadelphia-based group of law enforcement officers and forensic scientists who use their expertise to solve cold cases.
Morganelli said he intends to ask Robert Egan, a retired Pennsylvania State Police investigator, to serve as the county's special detective. Egan, a 48-year-old who spent 15 years working homicide, rape and assault cases in Lehigh, Northampton and Bucks counties, would earn $44,000 annually; he would not receive health benefits.
Morganelli said he won't need county money to help cover Egan's salary until next year.
Lehigh Valley authorities recently solved the 30-year-old murder of Easton resident Virginia Morrell and are looking into the unsolved slaying of Holly Branagan, a Bethlehem teenager. Robert White Jr. pleaded guilty to killing Morrell and was sentenced to life in prison.

At 46, Bo Sullivan is too old for this.
Testicular cancer is the number 1 cancer for men age 35 and younger.
There is, in fact, no history of any type of cancer in Sullivan's family.
Until now.
For the very popular and very public WHYN News Radio-560 personality, this is one story he'd rather not be sharing, but, at the same time, he's actively talking about his journey with cancer in hopes he can help one person or one family.
Regular listeners of the "Brad & Bo Show" weekday morning talk program went for weeks not knowing exactly where Bo was or what had happened to prompt his being missing in action from the airwaves.
On Monday, Bo was back, and his sidekick, Brad Shepard, wanted everyone to know "The Truth About Bo," as he blogged online.
Bo's on an abbreviated schedule while he completes treatment for the Stage 3 testicular cancer with which he was diagnosed in mid-December.
It began in the heat of last summer when Sullivan says he noticed some unusual swelling and pain in his groin. His doctor was keeping an eye on it, "but cancer was never talked about," he recalls. The thought was then that he had a stubborn bacterial infection.
By fall, his symptoms hadn't relented, and surgery was recommended to determine what was going on. In early November, a tumor was removed at the Springfield Surgical Center.
"The doctors knew right away what it was," he says. Further analysis showed the cancer had spread to his lungs, "exactly the path testicular cancer takes."
With guidance from doctors at the D'Amour Cancer Center in Springfield, Sullivan decided to head to the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston. A diehard Boston Red Sox fan who's been active with the Jimmy Fund Council of Western Massachusetts for a decade, Sullivan says he knew he wanted a second opinion by the team at Dana Farber.
"Sitting there with Kris, we knew Boston was where I should be," Sullivan said. His first round of treatment began on Dec. 13. The four-cycle treatment involves five consecutive days of chemotherapy followed by two weeks off.
"As of now, I have finished two cycles. I'm half-way through," he said on Tuesday. "So far, I have been extremely lucky. (With the) drugs they give you before and after treatment, I've had no nausea whatsoever."
Blood tests after each of the treatments have been positive thus far; "The doctors overall are very happy with how this is going."
Sullivan and his family went into the day of surgery convinced, he says, that it wasn't cancer. "I was pretty floored; I still wasn't expecting it to be that," he remembers.
Wife Kris learned the diagnosis first when Bo was still under the effects of anesthesia, he said. The two of them face most things in their lives as a team, and their first mission was to ensure both their teen-aged daughters, Leigh Anne and Shannon, and his parents, Dick and Edie Sullivan, of Westfield, were fully informed of what was ahead.
"My first thought was, 'OK, what's the next step,'" Sullivan said. "I have it. I looked the doctor in the face when he said we were going to cure this. I said, 'You're damn right we're going to cure this.'"
The children, he said, took the news "surprisingly well." "We wanted to make sure we had all the answers to all the questions they would have. When we told them, they reacted as any teenage girls would," he said. "My message was that the diagnosis from six doctors is this is a highly, highly curable cancer."
"My mom and dad had the same response I did: 'What's our next step?'" Sullivan added. "That mantle's been taken up by my brothers and sister, too."
The brothers Sullivan, who include the state's secretary of energy and conservation, Richard K. Sullivan Jr., rallied as they are known to do, and their sister lives in Belmont, so her home has become Bo's home away home during treatment.
It's too early, Sullivan says, to count him as a survivor.
"I'm not trying to play with words, but I'm not going to get ahead of myself either," he said.
His last round of chemotherapy is Feb. 18, and he could face a "clean-up surgery" after that.
Sullivan is able to joke about the fact he's lost much of his hair and he's trimmed down by 20 to 30 pounds. "Nobody is concerned with that at all, and I'm happy with it," he remarked of the weight loss.
Even with awareness he has a "curable" form of cancer, Sullivan acknowledges he's not immune to the occasional thought about life and death.
"I'm not going to lie about it. When I'm alone for five or 20 minutes, there are times I look in the mirror and say, 'Oh my god, I have cancer.'"
Sullivan can't speak enough good words about the support he received in his workplace at WHYN, from his on- and off-air buddy Shepard to all of their coworkers.
"They could not have been any more in my corner," he said. "I was told, 'You just go fix yourself. This radio station will take care of itself.'"
As word slowly spread about his situation, he and his family were overwhelmed by the response from their network of friends and supporters.
"The greatest gift I've had in six weeks is a support system, not just of my immediate family. There have been more people in Westfield, fans of the show, who say, 'If you need anything, just call.' It's been rides, food and Christmas shopping. It has all been there."
Sullivan knows he's not alone on this journey, even in the larger sense of others who have cancer and other families who have been helped by Dana Farber.
"I do feel lucky. Yes, it's happened (to me), and it's happened to so many other people. But, I'm still here and I'm still doing what I want to do, I'm watching my kids do all sorts of things, I do feel lucky to be where I am," Sullivan said.
He savors "those little things," whether it's rides back and forth to the high school with his girls, or dinners out with his wife, Sullivan said.
"My best advice to anyone in this position is don't get so down in the negative that you don't see the positive," he said. "There are people out there who want to help. It goes back to that support system. There are smart people out there who can fix things. Don't let yourself get so far down that you can't see the upside."
"We're moving forward," he said. "If there's a message from me to people, it's keep moving forward."

This recipe mixes the sweetness of apricots, the crunch of almonds and celery and very tender chicken. It was delicious. I searched the internet for recipes and couldn't find one that used ingredients I had on hand, so I created this one.
I must admit I had trouble leaving the dried apricots alone. I started with a six ounce bag, but I probably ate an ounce before I got them chopped and added to the chicken. YUM. You can also use fresh, frozen or canned apricots. If you're not crazy about apricots, switch them out for golden raisins or craisins.
Also, I served this with Brussels sprouts because Dr. Oz says it helps our livers, so I'm trying to eat them once a week. Last week I bought fresh Brussels sprouts and this week I served frozen ones. The fresh were better – I suppose that's no surprise. I suspect Dr. Oz would frown at the butter I used to brown the almonds, but really, what's a bit of butter among friends?
Brown rice was my choice for the starch – cooked in chicken base, which is similar to bullion.
This goes together in about 15 minutes, so don't start it too soon. The last thing you want to do is overcook the chicken, so don't have it sitting on the stove in simmer mode waiting for folks to come home. Have everything chopped and ready and stir fry it when everyone is present.
½ cup slivered almonds
2 tsp butter
3 raw boneless and skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite sizes
2 TBS olive oil
5 oz dried apricots (about ¾ cup) – cut into slivers
3 stalks celery, cleaned and chopped
1 small red or white onion, chopped
1 tsp chicken base (or bullion)
½ tsp ground ginger
2 TBS soy sauce
2 TBS corn starch mixed in ¼ cup water
¼ cup jam (apricot would have been great, but I used strawberry because it's what I had on hand) – optional
• Melt the butter in a large frying pan or wok. Stir fry the almonds until they are golden. Remove them and leave whatever butter remains.
• Add the olive oil to the pan.
• Stir fry the chicken about 5 minutes.
• Add the celery and onion to the chicken and cover for five minutes.
• Add chicken base or bullion, soy sauce and the ginger.
• Mix the corn starch in the water until it has no lumps and add it to the chicken.
• Add the apricots and almonds and mix to incorporate.
• Taste – if you are looking for a sweeter option, add the jam.

Christmas was a doozy this year. I mean it. On one hand, we had a wonderful month of memory making, time with friends and family, and we celebrated Gods gift to humankind. On the other hand, all regular household activities were put on hold in the name of making presents and going places, resulting in a big mess. So, in the aftermath of wrapping paper and flattened cardboard, I am still picking up the pieces of the season.
Tubs of lights and garlands have been packed, the tree has been cut up into bits, the nutcrackers have been safely tucked away in tissue blankets, and this year's Santa picture fiasco is filed away with it's predecessors. It is always a relief to clean up and start over, although over the last couple weeks I felt like I was trying to pick up a trick quarter that has been stuck to the floor with epoxy. We all had a gross cold, the garbage didn't get picked up, so there were bags of holiday trash lying in the kitchen, I swear the basement is infested with drain flies, and no one can ever find anything to wear. I felt like giving up and running away.
But then I had a bright spot, a day that smelled like spring, hope was in the air and I was given the ok to re-do a bathroom in our house. {not that re-doing a bathroom should affect me that much...} The idea of working on something, to move forward, to create a space that feels like home, even just entertaining the idea was motivating in other areas. I know I have issues.

I found an Adrian sconce at the bins, this picture on pinterest, and the bathroom makeover was born.
The plan is to trim out the walls, paint the paneling in my favorite shade of grey {Linen}, swap out the existing light with the Adrian, and hopefully find the perfect sink. If I am very fortunate in my hunting, I will find some amazing flooring and a medicine cabinet or two. Since it is such a small room, it shouldn't take a long time.
The real trick will be to get ahead on some of the regular housework that has been neglected for the last month, so that I can do some projects without the cloud of unfinished jobs hanging over me. I am going to try to do a pre-spring clean, one week per room. This week we are starting with bedrooms. Garbage, laundry, clutter, clean, accessorise. {in that order} In theory it is a sound plan, so as long as we can stick with it, we will be in good shape in a few weeks.
Looking for my studfinder, Alice

PHILADELPHIA — With Michael Vick under center this season, Philadelphia Eagles running back LeSean McCoy has exploded for 514 rushing yards through five weeks and emerged as the league leader in that category — by nearly a 100 yards over Adrian Peterson.
Sunday's contest at Tampa Bay brings with it the likelihood of QB Nick Foles taking the snaps, as Vick's strained hamstring is looking more and more like an injury that will cost him at least a game.
It might not matter, at least in terms of McCoy's effectiveness, as the running back has proved that he's a viable option to receive heavy work no matter the quarterback situation. Vick's absence, however, will certainly allow the Tampa Bay defense to focus more on McCoy, with Foles not providing the same threat to scramble as Vick does.
McCoy did struggle to get going against New York last week, rushing for just 46 yards on 20 carries with Vick leaving early in the second quarter, but it's not something he attributes to the change at QB.
"I think the Giants made some big plays up front," McCoy said Wednesday. "They really wanted to take me out of the game and that had been their plan and their plan in the second half (when Foles was in). But I don't think it had anything to do with Foles.
"It's a different threat. Mike is a quarterback with the ability to run the ball, that's obvious. Nick is still a good quarterback for sure, just different. As a defense trying to stop a running threat, that would be Mike, so that changes."
The defense Philadelphia faces Sunday will change too. The Buccaneers have the ninth best run-stopping defense in the league, allowing just 94 yards per game on the ground.
"We'll use the same plays, we've been successful running the ball," McCoy said. "As a defense, you have to cover everything, deep balls, myself. We have to be aggressive with the play-calling and keep everything the same.
"Without getting too much into our plays, we have different reads. Just as a defense can draw things up to keep the ball out of my hands, we have ways of adjusting to that."
McCoy noted that Tampa Bay likes to use stunts to break up the run game, a factor he's taken into consideration heading into Sunday's matchup.
"Just seeing all those stunts," McCoy said. "They're not watching the ball. They have to abide by their lane. By knowing that, they'll be difference cutback lanes that will open up, that's kinda my game."
Foles saw plenty of time as a rookie last year and impressed against the Giants, leading the team to victory down the stretch. It's evident that Vick is the vocal leader of the offense, but Foles has proven himself capable in stretches and the offensive personnel is confident with either player.
"We don't look at it like Nick is a rookie," McCoy said. "He prepares himself every game to start and he played a lot last year. He's not a rookie and I don't think that has an affect on our offense. Mike stepped out, Nick came in and played well. We expect that from Nick though."
New head coach Chip Kelly's system has given the Eagles' run game a boost, with Vick being a large part of it. McCoy is still the best weapon Philadelphia has in it's arsenal, Vick or no Vick, and he'll be needed again Sunday.
"I think LeSean has done a great job," Kelly said. "He's one of the top backs in the league. He's really a threat to score every time he touches the football. We're starting to use him more in the passing game. He's improved as a blocker. He did a great job Sunday against the Giants picking up some blitzes and really making himself an every down back.
"I think the ability to affect people in the passing game and in the running game is what makes him such a special player."
McCoy started off Wednesday by giving Buccaneers running back Doug Martin credit as one of the best in the game. He did so half-jokingly, dancing around comments he made on Twitter about Denver running back Knowshon Moreno Sunday. He didn't go much further into the Moreno situation, saying he had only one thing on his mind.
"The only thing coach said to me about it was to stay focused on the next game," McCoy said. "That's all that matters. That's all we're worried about."

Meeting between Thierry Repentin and Connie Hedegaard, European Commissioner for Climate Action (January 29, 2014)
Thierry Repentin, Minister Delegate for European Affairs, met with Connie Hedegaard, European Commissioner for Climate Action.
They discussed the EU 2030 Climate and Energy Framework on the basis of proposals submitted by the Commission on January 22, which should provide a very good basis for our work.
France would like the EU to be able to define new climate commitments for itself, in preparation for the UN International Conference on Climate Change (COP21) to be held in Paris in 2015, which should lead to a universal and ambitious agreement on reducing CO2 emissions. President Hollande therefore declared that he was in favor of setting an emissions reduction target of 40% by 2030.

In their zeal for suburban redevelopment, critics of Fat City decry its crime, its blight, its vice. But after drinking my way through the dark heart of the place last week, I can tell you it's not all it's cracked up to be.
In point of fact, it's just sad.
Lord knows how these lounges stay in business. Perhaps they do a booming trade after midnight and on weekends. They must, in order to make up for the tepid sales late Thursday. You could have shot a Jagermeister down Edenborn Avenue and not wet a single whistle.
Still the nightclub owners appear determined to fight the latest proposal to make over Fat City into some chic enclave of shops, restaurants, offices and upper-floor condos. Among them is the proprietor of The Bar, who has been especially vocal in condemning the idea that alcoholic beverage outlets should announce "last call" at midnight on weekdays, an hour later on weekends.
His seemed as good a place as any to begin a tour.
At The Bar, all the walls and the ceiling beams are plastered with flyers for shows from the distant past. Bands such as Amputee and Choke may have packed the house in their day, but on this night the entertainment was televised: the Saints' pre-season yawner versus the Titans.
The crowd count: Two, swelling to six during the post-game show.
The Bar gets points for diversity. The half-dozen drinkers represented no less than three racial or ethnic groups. Equally open-ended was the dress code: One woman wore a Marques Colston jersey, while another showed up in what appeared to be a negligee, four-inch heels and lacey, above-the-elbow gloves.
Figuring the latter was taking a break from pole dancing at a strip club nearby, I eventually wandered outside and looked for her presumed workplace, Mickey Martin's The Ship's Wheel. It's just across 18th Street from Uncle Larry's ("Every Drink's a Double!"), but only a regular would know that. The sign for The Ship's Wheel is inside the bar. Outside, the sole advertisement is a tri-color neon display for "Girls Girls Girls."
Now that Illusions has closed -- four employees there were arrested in July on charges ranging from prostitution to hustling cocaine -- The Ship's Wheel might well be the only strip club still operating in Fat City. It offers cold, if expensive beer, but were the sign out front to be accurate, it would tout the singular "Girl."
The lone dancer remained huddled at the bar with other employees while I discreetly nursed a beer six stools away and wondered what my company's auditors will make of the expense voucher detailing purchases from a strip club. The arrival of a second customer was evidently the dancer's cue, for he took a table aside the runway.
She mounted the stage already wearing so little fabric that it was clear this place had left the tease out of its stripping. She sported several tattoos and, at least from my distant vantage point, even more teeth.
Her efforts were enough to warrant a bonus from the other customer, who slipped some bills into her garter belt. I left a $5 tip -- on the table -- and suddenly realized it was past my bedtime.
Strip clubs and other "adult-oriented" businesses would be banned in Fat City under the latest proposal. They'd have two years to close or convert to other offerings.
New bars already are illegal there, thanks to a 1985 law, unless part of a hotel or restaurant. The stand-alones still in existence pre-date the prohibition.
The holdouts hope to survive the latest attack on their businesses. They've heard the talk for years from politicians and civic worthies, seen the consultants' studies that never bore fruit and soldiered on through changing demographics, economic booms and busts and periodic police crackdowns.
Even with the fancy new sidewalks, designer street lamps and colorful Fat City banners on 18th Street, they seek to weather this assault, too.
But what's different this time is that the empty talk and the fruitless studies of decades past have advanced a bit farther. The Jefferson Parish Council has in hand a 74-page ordinance to begin overhauling the zoning in the area, the most sweeping such attempt in more than a quarter century.
The council takes up the ordinance Sept. 22, at a meeting likely to draw crowds of critics and defenders. And all of them must wonder if this is last call for Fat City.

It appears that Conrail's claims representatives are not making much of an effort in obtaining appropriate lodging for the displaced families caused by Conrail's vinyl chloride debacle.
Why would Conrail think it is acceptable to place a family with two attractive teenage girls in the same facility as a registered sex offender? Let's not go into the deplorable condition of these lodgings.
Please advise Conrail (and the Doran family) that there is a lovely motel located in Deptford on Route 41 that accepts pets. The Residence Inn seems to specialize in displaced families. It is clean and safe and it is next door to a very good restaurant. My insurance company placed my family here after a house fire (border collie Freckles, as well).
The general consensus is that Conrail is mishandling the fallout from this disaster. I agree.
It would be wise for Conrail to address these issues more effectively, or this public relations nightmare will turn into another Exxon PR disaster.
Conrail should be ashamed.

Live Oak Athletics Director and boys basketball Coach Brian Hargroder to take over the Zachary boys basketball program.
The Catholic-Baton Rouge alumnus compared the two schools, both of which he called "community schools," and thanked Live Oak and its administration, but saw the chance to take the Broncos' reins as too good to ignore.
"I'm not really leaving Live Oak, so much as I'm going to Zachary," Hargroder explained. "I just see it as an opportunity for growth professionally, and I really love my principal and Live Oak and have nothing but the best to say about them, but I'm also excited for the chance to work in a top performing school system in Zachary with strong leadership with its principal and administration."
Bakari Beckwith left the Zachary position open late last month to accept the same postion at Ruston.
Hargroder takes over the role at his long-time district rival after nine seasons leading the Eagles.
"We're very excited about having Coach Hargroder," Zachary Athletic Director Joey Sanchez said. "When we hired Bakari two years ago, we brought more than a great coach, we brought a great person, and I feel like we've done the same thing this time with Coach Hargroder.
"When you look at his time at Live Oak and what he's done with the resources he's had, we're really excited to have him come over and become a part of Bronco Nation."
Hargroder met with both teams on emotional Friday he said went "from one end of the gamut to the other."
In addition to Zachary replacing Beckwith with Hargroder, the team will also look to fill the void left by six departed seniors who accounted for more than 75 percent of its scoring.
"They'll have a new leader, and at the same time they'll have new team leaders, so it might help the team chemistry that way," Hargroder said. "It might help us bond."
Hargroder said fans can expect much of the same defense-first focus as they saw under Beckwith, while also maybe seeing a bit faster-paced offense than in recent years.
"We're going to hang out hat on defense," the coach said. "Bakari was big time with his defense, and we're going to try to play the same way, keeping the scoring low, but the difference is we may be a little more open on offense and try to get up and down the floor a little more."

Questions tagged with 'dates'https://www.grammarly.com/answers/questions/tags/dates2016-10-28T13:59:17ZWriting dates: February 14 is...? February 14th is...? https://www.grammarly.com/answers/questions/77251-writing-dates-february-14-is-february-14th-is/
 Hi, I have a question about writing dates.

 I cannot determine which is more correct:

 "February 14 is Valentine's Day."

 "February 14th is Valentine's Day."

 Personally, adding "-th" at the end seems correct to me, but I am not sure if it's correct grammatically. Please give me your advice.

 Thanks!

 My opinion:

 I cannot cite a specific rule of grammar, but I would use a comma in your second example to help the reader clearly distinguish--at first glance--the title of the event from the month. In the first example a comma would be helpful, but it would be even clearer if the word "on" were added ("...attend Ballroom Blitz on May 15.)

 Tolley is right.

 I've always found the "extra" commas that bracket the year to be distracting. To my eye, the confuse the reading of other commas that grammar requires and serve to communicate the sentence structure.

 About 30 years ago, I began to use European (or international) style dates -- 14 April 2012 -- exclusively. (Oh yes, I was also working on an international project at the time, with partners in Tokyo and Paris.) I've stuck with the international date style over the years because commas are not needed.

 Regarding specific dates in fictionhttps://www.grammarly.com/answers/questions/4661-regarding-specific-dates-in-fiction/
 Is there a consensus regarding the format of dates used in writting? For example:

 "On the evening of June 1st a computer technician isolated a programming error that caused the port side ballast pumps to run continuously. "

 Word incates the "1st " is incorrect, yet a later sentence does not point out a similar date:

 "June 2nd, shortly after sunrise, the MS Zenobia made port at Larnaca, Cyprus. "

 But in the very next sentence it points it out again:

 "Late in the evening of June 4th she was ordered to be towed from the harbor..."

 In the next sentence it is ignored again:

 "June 5th began long before sunrise"

 Should the two that are marked wrong be change to June THE 1st, and June THE 4th, respectively?? It sounds odd and looks inconsistent that way (to me).

 The software is often confused by dates and ordinals. European style dates and commas (or lack thereof) seem to get flagged often.

 In your samples, the software seems to flag the ordinal when a comma is required (but missing) after the ordinal.

 "On the evening of June 1st, a computer technician isolated a programming error that caused the port side ballast pumps to run continuously. "

 "Late in the evening of June 4th, she was ordered to be towed from the harbor..."

 Most fiction uses dates sparingly, as Tolley said. "On a sweltering August evening, the harbor master ordered the decrepit wreak towed from his harbor ..." The day of the week or the month is used to set the scene but the full date only appears occasionaly when it is important to the plot.

 The style of date used also can establish mood and background. The following examples of an introducotry fiction sentences set very different scenes.

 "It was a Tuesday, the fifth day of August, in the year of our Lord 1785, when the harbor master finally ordered Captain Horatio's decrepit wreck hauled from his otherwise pristine establishment."

 "Stardate 2356.096 arrived, and the harbor master could stand no more excuses; he ordered Captain Kirk's decrepit landing craft immediately removed from his field."

answered Apr 03 '12 at 01:01 by Jeff Pribyl, Grammarly Fellow

 I would add that using ordinals for days in written dates is more common in British English. In American English we use the cardinal forms for days in written dates. In both dialects, we *read* them as ordinal forms (most of the time).
