New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - December 4, 2005, New Braunfels, Texas Page 4A — Herald-Zeitung — Sunday, December 4, 2005 FORUM Our Opinion For lawmakers, time has come for leadership Ifs time that th state's lawmaker show some leadership and come up with at equitable school finance plan. Ti Ihe school Finance hot potato has been tossed out of the Texas court system, and the Texas Legislature is on the clock. Again. With the Texas Supreme Court having ruled that the state's school finance system is unconstitutional because it has become a de facto state property tax, the Legislature has been given a June I deadline to come up with an equitable, constitutional way of funding public education. All options should be on the table for legislators when they convene in special session some time in the coming months. Whatever die proposals are that come forth, property tax relief should be a net a result, and our schools should not be financed with higher taxation on the state's poorest residents. Recent history makes it hard to have much faith in the legislature coming up with a plan, but the deadline offers some assurance that something will get done. With 2006 being an election year, no legislator wants to have "let schools go unfunded this year" on his or her resume come November. In the Legislature's previous three sessions this year — one regular, two special — lawmakers could not come to agreement on proposals that would have lowered school property taxes, raised state taxes on consumers and businesses and provided slight funding increases for districts. In fact, after no agreement was reached in the regular session, it seemed legislators were content to run out the clock in the two special sessions and wait for the Texas Supreme Court's decision for guidance. That's shameful and shows a lack of leadership. As usual, some legislators seem to suffer from attention deficit disorder, as they also are throwing out ancillary school issues as well. State Rep. Kent Grusendorf, R-Arlington, did so last week by tossing up a trial balloon on the thorny notion of school district consolidation. Issues such as consolidation, merit pay for teachers and use of tax dollars by school boards to lobby the Legislature should be tackled at some point, but first things first. Finding an equitable way to fund schools is the top priority; bringing up subsidiary issues right now just muddies the most important task facing legislators. Formulating an equitable school finance plan isn t easy; it's something Texas has struggled with for decades. But this is why we elect lawmakers — to provide leadership and ideas for governing and funding this state. For those elected few, this is their time — they're on the clock.

STUDENTS GUESTCOLUMN Veteran is an angel among us I am a teacher at an area high school. Several years ago, I was going through a very tough time. My heart was heavy with the burden I carried. One afternoon as I sat at my desk questioning the hand I had been dealt, a shadow fell upon my door and a gentle, quiet man entered my room. He looked at me with eyes that reached my soul and asked "Are you OK?" I knew this man — he swept our floors, emptied our trash and became a beloved friend to all. This man truly cared about all of us. As he and I sat there that afternoon, I remember sharing my concerns with him. The treasure chest of wisdom he offered brought peace to my heart. It never failed, when I needed a lithe boost, he magically appeared at my door, always a twinkle in his eye, a smile on his face and a message for my heart., As we talked over the years, I learned a lot about Jerry. I learned about when he unselfishly served our country. I learned how he loves his family, and I learned how much he cares for each of us. Our students loved Jerry. They didn't know he was a published author; they didn't know the vast knowledge he held or the many trials he himself has been through. What they did know is that he was an individual who let each one of them know they were important. At our annual Veterans Day ceremonies, Jerry would take his place of honor with other veterans on the field. When his name was announced, the stadium would roar and goose bumps would send a shiver throughout my body. A few years ago, Jerry retired, but he still magically appears whenever he is most needed. And, of course, he still takes his place among our veterans during memorial ceremonies. Jerry has taken another important job. Around this time of year, he adorns a red suit and, one by one, listens to tiny wishes and concerns from young children, assuring each child that it is OK to dream. If you believe in Santa, or maybe in angels, take the time to go by and share your dreams and wishes with him. Don't be surprised if you walk away with a new look on life and peace in your heart. Jerry can be found at the recreation center near the dam. You will recognize him by his red suit, gray beard and that famous twinkle in his eyes that will touch your soul. Thank you, Jerry Daugherty, for being an angel to so many. CYNTHIA NORRIS Cynthia Norris is a resident of New Braunfels. Letters to the Editor U.S. shouldn't 'bug out' of Iraq "Mad Molly" Ivins, the Mother Bloor of Texas politics, wrote against our involvement in the war on terrorism and likened it to Viemam. About that conflict she wrote, "We stayed for years past reason in Viemam because they said there would be a bloodbath," implying a bloodbath in Viemam hadn't happened. Liberals shamefully ignore the bloodbaths their treacherous abandonment of Viemam caused. For political advantage they now argue for another precipitous withdrawal — this time in Iraq. Liberals conveniendy ignore what they and "useful idiots" on college campuses did to Vietnam and Cambodia. They should be reminded that hundreds of thousands were thrown into reeducation camps in Viemam where tens of thou sands perished. Millions fled in tiny boats to escape the totalitarian system that was imposed once our Congress took the advice of liberals and abandoned Viemam. The bloodbath in Viemam paled in comparison to Cambodia, where millions died in the Khmer Rouge killing fields. Liberals' indifference to the fate of the Vietnamese and (Cambodians remains shameful. Now they want us to "bug out" in the war in Iraq where the stakes are infinitely higher. If we do not defeat the terrorists in Iraq, we will have to fight them later, and the killing of Americans will be far greater. Liberals hope "bugging out" in Iraq will win a few congressional seats for Democrats, but it will not end the war on terrorism.

Michigan Ave, Suite 1500, Chicago. 60611, or leave an e-mail at www.calthomas.com. resident Bush has rediscovered illegal immigration as a political issue. After previously focusing on "welcoming" all who come to America by whatever means, the president spent most of his recent speech in Tucson, Ariz., sounding like Rep. Tom Tancre-do, a Colorado Republican who has been the most vocal proponent of sealing U.S. borders to illegal aliens. Ninety percent of the speech was about the president's new "get tough" policy. The rest focused on his "guest worker" program, which is amnesty by whatever name he calls it. He says he wants to end the government's "catch and release" policy in which non-Mexican illegals are apprehended, detained and then released, but that there aren't enough beds in detention centers to hold all of those apprehended. By some estimates, sufficient housing won't be available for at least six years. There are many "sounds good" proposals in the president's speech, and his remarks might have more credibility had they come immediately after 9/11. An unknown number of people crossing our borders have no interest in building homes; they wish only to destroy America's "home." According to the Center for Immigration Studies, of the 94 foreign-born terrorists who operated in the United States between the early 1990s and 2004, about two-thirds (59) committed immigration fraud before or in conjunction with taking part in terrorist activity. Of the 59 terrorists who violated the law, many committed multiple immigration violations. In 47 instances, immigration benefits sought or acquired prior to 9/11 enabled the terrorists to stay in the United States after 9/11 and continue their terrorist activities. In at least two instances, terrorists still were able to acquire immigration benefits after 9/11. The president acknowledged that "securing our border is essential to securing the homeland." Absent from the speech were proposals to sanction businesses that knowingly hire illegals. As long as there is a demand for cheap labor and insufficient disincentives, they will continue to come. It is why the government has had minimal success curtailing illegal drug shipments. Demand produces supply. According to the Pew Hispanic Center and the Center for Immigration Studies, there are nearly 11 million illegal aliens in the United States, of which approximately 7 million are workers. In 2002, it was estimated that households headed by illegal aliens used $10 billion more in government services than they paid in taxes. They cost California taxpayers $10.5 billion in education, medical and other expenses. There is another dimension to illegal and even legal immigration the president did not mention. We have failed to make Americans out of many of them. This is part of a larger cultural problem that tells immigrants they should hyphenate their heritage with "American," retaining their language, tradi tions and even loyalty to the country from which they originated. Immigrants need to be transformed into full Americans, not only by their citizenship, but also by their language (English), by their allegiance, voting habits and by their attitude. This was the profile of earlier immigrants who wanted to come to America to become Americans. In recent years, certain elites have taken the view that there is something better about other countries. In this view, immigrants should keep their allegiance and cultural heritage and not assimilate. This is a strategy for the death of any culture. While a nation cannot exist "half slave and half free," in Abraham Lincoln's words, neither can it exist in a state that is culturally subdivided. Along with a much stronger and workable border control policy and penalties for businesses that knowingly hire illegals, attention to fully assimilating the non-native-born population would go far to fulfilling our national motto: E Pluribus Unum — out of many, one. ;

My father wasn't great in the kitchen. He could make a cold leg of mutton last a few days when Mum was away. He'd make sandwiches with home-made tree tomato chutney and a lettuce leaf for lunch, then boil a pot of potatoes to accompany it at night for dinner.
Easy to please, one might say. He also cooked a mighty mean pot of porridge each morning. Always first up to exercise the farm dogs, he'd turn the pot on very low at 6am so it would be ready for the family for breakfast at 7.30am with milk and home-stewed fruit. It's hard to beat that.
Today the men in our lives are a lot more accomplished in the kitchen. Only last week we had a Sunday pot luck lunch with the extended family. My brother-in-law cooked the main course of slow roast lamb, and an older uncle made a beautiful fruit salad. Long gone are the days when it was the ladies who provided the plate.
With a crowd or just an easy family dinner, a leg of lamb is a great option.
Any number of delicious marinades can be used - olives, lemons, garlic and fresh herbs, to name a few.
Today, inspired by my brother-in-law, I have used a spicy mix with fresh garden herbs and honey for sweetness. Left in the oven for 7-8 hours, on a low heat, lamb couldn't be easier.
After cooking, use the scrapings in the bottom of the pan to make an instant, tasty gravy. And any leftovers will never go to waste; lamb is great in sliders, pita pockets or on soft tacos.
For a substantial fresh salad, try mixing pearl barley with a few interesting ingredients. Cook the pearl barley in chicken stock to add extra flavour. Make sure your brussels sprout are cooked through, and add dates for a surprising twist in texture and taste. If there is any left over, this is a great salad to pack into a lunch box for work.
And you just can't go wrong with a chocolate steamed pud. I always place an old saucer in the pot to help stop the bottom of this chocolate pudding burning.
With its delicious chocolate sauce, served with lashings of icecream or lightly whipped cream, this is one dessert you have to try.

Most people already know that October 9, 2010, marked what would have been John Lennon's 70th birthday. To celebrate the occasion, EMI remastered his catalog, with Yoko Ono's cooperation. His albums may be purchased individually, or as part of a box set. For those who do not wish to pay $130 for the set, the CD Power to the People: The Hits collects Lennon's best-known songs in one place. Longtime fans may not find the CD useful (unless they are completists who collect every single Lennon album, including rereleases and hits packages), but casual and newer fans who want a brief introduction to his music should enjoy this latest hits package.
Power to the People: The Hits comes in two different versions: the first is a 15-track CD, while the second also includes a DVD featuring corresponding music videos. Most of the videos were previously available on 2003's Lennon Legend DVD, but still serve as interesting peeks into Lennon as a performer and artist. Clips such as "Imagine" foreshadowed the modern music video in its concept and production values.
The collection includes Lennon's most famous works, ranging from his earliest solo material ("Give Peace A Chance") to his final completed album ("Woman," "[Just Like] Starting Over"). As on the album rereleases, the 15 songs have been digitally remastered. Unfortunately, the CD booklet provides no information about the remastering process or, even more puzzling, the original recordings. Dates of releases and chart information would have been useful for easy reference.
Longtime Lennon enthusiasts would likely raise many objections to songs which are not included in this collection. Stellar tracks from the posthumously released Milk and Honey, "Nobody Told Me" and "I'm Stepping Out," were released as singles and are curiously missing here. Since the album is subtitled The Hits, obviously the compilers wish to include only hit singles. But many Lennon songs that were technically not chart toppers still make for essential listening, such as "God," "Working Class Hero," and "Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy)." Looking at Lennon's previous "greatest hits" collection, 1975's Shaved Fish, only the controversial "Woman Is the N—– of the World" is absent on Power to the People. Therefore the only album not represented is Some Time in New York City, Lennon's most overtly political statement.
Few can argue with the hits included in this compilation, and tracks such as "Gimme Some Truth" and "Power to the People" retain their initial, brutally honest impact. Lennon's heartbreaking vocals on "Mother" and "Cold Turkey" effectively communicate his anguish concerning his upbringing and later struggles with drugs. In a different sense, "Jealous Guy" features Lennon confessing his difficulties with relationships. "I began to lose control," he sings, foreshadowing his 1974 "Lost Weekend" adventures. His eventual domestic contentment, here represented by "(Just Like) Starting Over" and "Woman," starkly contrasts with his earlier, emotionally wrenching work. Having these singles on one album makes for useful comparisons, but the track order remains a puzzle. Why is "Woman" the fourth song on the album, preceded by "Power to the People" and "Gimme Some Truth" and immediately followed by "Instant Karma! (We All Shine On)?" The abrupt change in tone makes for a jarring listening experience. Again, extensive liner notes would have addressed this issue.
Overall, Power to the People: The Hits effectively targets casual fans as well as new listeners. The bare essentials all make an appearance, and may entice people to dig deeper into Lennon's catalog. Longtime enthusiasts, however, may want to skip this release and concentrate on the remastered albums and Double Fantasy Stripped Down. But this new collection serves as a perfect gift for the fan just beginning to discover Lennon's fascinating solo career.

Tilbury, John / Eddie Prevost
Discrete Moments
Label: Matchless
Released in: Great Britain
"I don't know any details about either the studio session that took place on January 6th, 2004 between keyboardist John Tilbury and percussionist Eddie Prevost, or the process by which the resulting tapes became discrete moments. This makes it a bit difficult for me to know how to proceed. The recording is over 75 minutes long and consists of eight cuts of widely varying length. Most of the music is exquisitely beautiful-as beautiful, in my humble opinion, as anything else you are likely to hear this year. Unfortunately, somewhere around ten minutes of it isn't much good at all. Now, if Tilbury and Prevost had put out an absolutely perfect 65-minute (or even 55-minute) disc-say just by excluding the meandering third track-people might be whispering things involving "recording of the decade" or "pinnacle of their careers." I have a sense, however (in spite of my above-admitted absence of actual information about this recording), of why this track was included in the final product.It has a very cool final minute that sounds as if it might have come from an early Cage piece for prepared piano. There was no way to retain that clunkily wonderful coda while scuttling the rest of the cut, so (perhaps at the last moment?) it was decided to keep the whole 11:18 piece intact and put out a very long album. I believe that this was a mistake, but, as is quite well known, it is now pretty easy to program CD players to skip this or that section of a recording-at least when the artists are kind enough to provide reference points on their discs. Let us therefore proceed as if there were no track entitled "S" and discuss only the absolutely terrific remaining discrete moments. Tilbury plays organ as well as piano (and prepared piano) here, and it is interesting to note the great extent to which he tailors his playing to his instrument. Much of his work on piano utilizes a technique that is entirely appropriate for the great 1950s piano pieces by Feldman and Cage (more Cagehere than I'm used to from him). But on organ Tilbury adopts the Palestine/Ligeti approach of holding chords or tones for a very long time and letting the strangely irregular internal pulses that result do the hypnotizing. He understands, that is, the difference between a ringing stringed percussion instrument and a keyboard simulacrum of a wind instrument. As one might expect, he's great on both horns: he seems to have a perfect knack for landing on just those pitches, rhythms, and sounds that will produce the perfect effect. His remarkable touch is at work here, of course, but there's a deep wisdom evident too. Prevost brings his arsenal of percussion, traps, tam-tam, stringed barrel and bows, and, as always, he knows how to get the most out of each one. The long cymbal hisses he creates to accompany some of Tilbury's high-pitched drones would give Nakamura a run for his money. Unsurprisingly, Prevost's high degree of sensitivity and consummate skill is a pretty good combinationwhen it comes to improvised music. Naturally, it also helps that these guys have been playing together since long before many of Bagatellen's most avid readers were born. Some of their music is delicate and pointillistic with wide spaces between sounds, but there are also rich, thick webs and, as indicated, Cage/Kleeube Goldberg thunkity-thunk machines. The two men also provide a hefty helping of what seems to me missing from too many of the "non-I" recordings I hear: drama. (For those who don't like drama, there's sonic variety-which may or may not be acceptable these days: I don't know.) For all its multiplicity, however, unlike Tilbury's recent fiasco with Tippett and Riley, the vision is constant and coherent throughout. discrete moments is so so beautiful."-Walter Horn, bagatellen.com

Chocolate makers and fans of hazelnut-filled products including Nutella spread may need to brace themselves for price rises, after poor weather devastated hazelnut crops.
Around 70 per cent of the world's hazelnut crop is grown near Turkey's Black Sea coast, but this year's harvest is likely to be heavily hit after hail storms and frost in late March devastated hazel flowers at an important time in their growing cycle. The price of the nut has subsequently already skyrocketed by more than 60 per cent.
Already faced with the rising price of cocoa, chocolatiers must now contend with the cost of the nuts reaching $10,500 (£6,300) per tonne, compared with $6,500 (£3,900) per tonne in February, according to Michael Stevens, a trader at Edinburgh-based Freeworld Trading, the Guardian reported.
Stevens added that some buyers are living hand to mouth, as contracts pre-dating the frost cannot be fulfilled.

While the extent of the damage is unclear, the Turkish hazelnut industry predicts it will only manage to harvest 540,000 tonnes of its 800,000 tonnes target.
The world's largest confectionary companies are now likely to be nervously watching the market to decide their next move.
Ferrero, who are behind the moreish Nutella hazelnut spread and Ferrero Rocher chocolates buys 25 per cent of the world's supply of hazelnuts, making it the world's biggest buyer, according to the Italian Trade Agency. However, the company may not be affected as it recently purchased Oltan – Turkey's largest hazelnut producer. The Independent has requested a comment from Ferrero UK and Ireland, but has not received a response.
Meanwhile, Mondelez, the US owner of Cadbury - whose hazelnut-stuffed Whole Nut bar is a best seller – declined to tell the Guardian whether it would raise the prices of its chocolate bars.
The potential changes come as manufactures attempt to deal with climbing almond and cocoa prices.
However, while the weather in Turkey has coincided with a drought in California which has sent almonds prices to a nine-year high, cocoa is more expensive due to a changing market. The product is at a three-year high as customers in China and India appear to have developed a sweet tooth.Reuse content

David, Jim alluded to this earlier and said the NG is not enough; I
replied,
but at that time I was still at work. Since then I came
home, took a quiet
stroll around my comfortable dry garden with my
cats and then sat down when
the 6:30 Natl news came on. I was
astounded at what I saw on NBC. CBS and
ABC made mention, but NBC was
very demanding about the circumstances - even
got the FEMA director
on and fired questions at him point by point....all of
which he
dodged with a lot of blather. He said he just found out today
that
people were at the convention center and that they were working
on getting
food and water to them. Pushed for a timetable by NBC, he
would not commit.

Some of the people at the convention center
were unbearably desperate.
Babies barely able to wake up, diabetics
in need of insulin, children and
elderly dying of dehydration. WHERE
THE HECK IS THE HELP? They showed NG
and police vehicles driving
through, but
offering no help. One man, crying
said he had swum with his 2 dogs
for 8 hrs; boats passed him and refused to
pick him up. People
trapped on downtown rooftops wondering where the help
is. They've
seen no one and no respite.

While I was at work and pretty much
unaware of what others were following on
TV, I didn't realize how bad
it is and it will be even worse if this admin
doesn't get off its
collective a**. NBC mentioned that 20 countries have
made offers of
food, money, generators, you name it, but the administration
has
accepted NONE of it because they are busy thinking it over trying
to
decide what they need most. Supposedly our govt is making money
available
for relief efforts but they can't release it until this
weekend after
congress members can get back and vote on it. Oh for
CRYIN OUT LOUD. People
are dying out there and we have to go through
channels.

Geico https://www.geico.com/
Get ready to rumble, it is a challenge, dont give up.
GEICO has a no telecommuting policy, very strict attendance policies, and zero paid maternity leave (I had two children whilst there and had to use all of my saved vacation time first, then I went on leave without pay; this then means no paid vacation days after your back until you accrue again). It's an environment filled with negative vibes and people.
If you check all the boxes and follow their rules you will get promoted- but it is easier if you don't have a family or are not trying to start one.
It's a standard US job that must offer federal and state benefits but does not go above and beyond that at all.
Senior management takes male analysts to go golfing and it's very much a boy's club. The way to get promoted is to get in with the higher up male managers but they don't include women, or take them seriously. My director would rate female coworkers by their breast size on golf outings with other male coworkers.
The only paid portion of your leave is any accrued sick and vacation time. You MUST use the accrued time. Upon returning to work you have zero vacation and zero sick time. It take 6 weeks to accrue 1 vacation day. Also, it's 8 weeks leave for vaginal birth 12 weeks for cesarian. It's an ok place to work only because of the hours and possible flex hours but they are very big on punching the clock. They value how strictly their requirements are followed over the quality of the work. They prefer robots.
I work at the fredericksburg, VA. location. Its so hard to adjust/change your shift. I have tried numerous times, and my boss wouldn't let me. They told me it was my performance. I later found out other people were given the opportunity to change shifts, whose numbers were well below mine. One had his shift change because of his dog! FAVORTISM rules here! We did have a female vp and female managers. Almost all were replaced by men. The new male VP doest even talk to you, unless you are a manager. He will walk right by you without uttering a word. A simple greeting like "Hello or Good Morning" would be nice.
if you are energetic and willing to play the game and work very hard you will go far....it is not for the sensitive type
Terrible when it comes to maternity leave.

Whatever one may say about Sir Michael Wilshaw, Her Majesty's Chief Inspector of Schools, he is never short of bright ideas. His current scheme, unveiled to a mostly disbelieving public last week, concerned the perennial problem of bad parenting. According to Sir Michael, headteachers and social workers should not shrink from informing certain fathers and mothers that they are "bad parents".
In addition, he suggested that neighbours of those suspected of turning a blind eye to their children's absence from school should be offered financial incentives to go round to their homes to insist that the rule of law was enforced.
Needless to say, this well-meaning intervention, conceived with the aim of bringing "help" to the needy, inspired one or two commentators to propose that Sir Michael was not, to use that great modern cliché, living in the real world. There was a hint that he had broken two of the great unwritten laws of our national life: the intense and universal dislike of the "nosy parker", and that sempiternal proscription on "telling other people how to bring up their kids".
Bill Esterson, Labour MP for Sefton Central, remarked, "You would certainly get a reaction – an accusation of interference, wouldn't you?" Which is putting it mildly. There were also suggestions that even the act of stopping to question an apparently school-evading child in the street might these days be tantamount to "grooming".
The fascination of Sir Michael's plan, on the other hand, has nothing to do with its insistence that the responsibility for a child's education is not solely the concern of the state. Rather, the radicalism of its approach lies in the fact that it presumes the existence, or rather the survival, of something which many social analysts would suppose to have slipped out of British life some years ago: the idea of viable local communities whose unofficial leaders possess sufficient gravitas to instil certain standards of behaviour in the world around them, in which bad habits are extinguished by sheer weight of collective moral disapproval, and group solidarity works to regulate and reform the various ingrates who offend against this communal ideal of what is and isn't acceptable.
Asked to comment on this model of "community", the left-inclined social historian would probably mutter darkly about Mrs Thatcher and the 1980s assault on the working class's sense of its own identity. His or her right-wing equivalent, alternatively, would doubtless suggest that mass immigration and multiculturalism, not to mention changing social mores and welfare dependency, have blown apart what was previously a proud and indomitable clannishness. At the same time, it is worth asking whether this communal spirit ever really existed, except in very exceptional circumstances – mostly in the north of England and the Celtic margins and involving tightly knit social units brought yet closer together by unusual pressures such as strike action.
If Sir Michael – to go back to the plan for neighbours to take on the role of truant officers – presumes the existence of a formalised community life, in which one citizen feels free to advise another what to do, then he is supported by the classic left-liberal view of British social history, which until fairly recently has tended to believe in the idea of a broadly homogeneous working class. Yet a great deal of anecdotal evidence insists that the average council estate, even in Depression-bound 1930s, was as stratified in its hierarchies as any feudal manor. Hodgson Road on the Earlham estate in Norwich, for example, which my forbears inhabited in the 1930s, contained 16 families, each of whom occupied a particular place in that thoroughfare's pecking order. They ranged from the "respectable" working class, as represented by my grandparents, who pined for a "double-bay front" rather than their poky mid-terrace, to a feckless, decency-outraging underclass who brawled in the street on Saturday nights and whose domestic disputes my grandfather was called out to pacify.
The same distinctions apply to the back-streets of post-war Nottingham as described in Alan Sillitoe's Saturday Night and Sunday Morning (1958), where the outward solidarity of a group of people united against the incursions of the police constable or the tally-man is fatally undermined by the presence of such free spirits as meek-minded Mr Robin, a man who "sent his sons to join the Scouts and always voted Liberal, a traitor to the solid bloc of anarchistic Labour in the street". Mr Robin would have got a sympathetic ear from my grandparents, one of whom supported the Conservative mantra of "A fair day's work for a fair day's wage", the other of whom, though anti-Tory, despised the Labour Party of Clement Attlee as "a load of riff-raff".
As for the middle-class sense of community, this, all the evidence suggests, barely existed at all, snuffed out almost at the birth of modern middle-class society in the 1840s by galloping social aspiration and, as the cities grew and diaspora set in, suburbanisation. F M Mayor's novel The Rector's Daughter (1924) makes this point with some force. Its heroine Mary Jocelyn, moving from the back-water solidity of her late father's East Anglian parish to a villa in characterless, post-Great War Croydon, knows she has fetched up in a society that, for all its assurance and the comfort of its protocols, is essentially rootless; "after three years in the place, suburban people, whatever their layer in society, become restless and want to move on".
Going back even beyond this, certain historians of early modern England have deduced that this restlessness, the inability of significant numbers of people to live quietly in one place for very long and abide by its standards, is of very ancient date. Alan Macfarlane's classic work The Origins of English Individualism (1978), for example, traces the beginning of the national sense of selfhood back to the 13th and 14th centuries: an age in which a percentage of the population were no longer content to inhabit the villages of their birth but began to travel long distances in search of employment or adventure. British society, according to the Macfarlane template, has always been a lot less stable, a lot less meekly subservient and a lot less willing to salute the communal flag, than historical orthodoxy suggests: the village graveyards in which the same family names recur over hundreds of years tell only half the truth.
All this would seem to have at least an indirect bearing on Sir Michael's plan to encourage upright citizens to throw their moral weight around with the people over the road should they be suspected of allowing their children to bunk off school. Most people opening the door first thing on a Monday morning to some bright-eyed potential sneak would probably reply: "It's no business of yours." But there are substantial grounds for proposing that it never was.Reuse content

China Muscles Out US on List of Fastest Supercomputers
A new powerful system from China sits at the top of the Top500 list, and China is now home to more of those supercomputers than the United States.China is now the world's dominant player in the global supercomputing space. The country kept its position atop the Top500 list of the world's fastest supercomputers with a new system that not only is markedly faster and more efficient than the previous No. 1 supercomputer—also from China—but also is powered by processors designed and manufactured in China. In addition, China now has more supercomputers on the list—167—than the United States, with 165, the first time in the more than two decades that the list has been kept that the United States is not home to the largest number of computers. The latest list was released June 20 at the ISC High Performance 2016 show in Frankfurt, Germany. The Top500 list is released twice every year.
China's ascension comes less than two months after a report by the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF) warned that the United States was in danger of losing its edge in the high-performance computing (HPC) field due to fast-growing competition primarily from China. In its report, the ITIF also outlined steps Congress needs to make—from increasing funding to amending export control regulations—to keep the country at the forefront of HPC and supercomputing development.

News about reggae music, artists, culture and more...
Had just turned off the lights on the stage, Damian Marley had just finished his show in front of 35000 fans from all over the world. People of Rototom Sunsplash 2014 left Main Stage to start dancing again in other locations of the festival.
Unfortunately it was last night of a wonderful event come to an end. Just the dawn gave light to the sky in Benicassim, countdown for the new edition has finally started his round clock. Were 365 days long to wait before returning to make bags for Spain.
Only one month for the new adventure, the program is almost complete and the line up is impressive as always, names such as Jimmy Cliff, Shaggy or Twinkle Brothers for an example. And then the Dub Academy, Ska Club, Dancehall Area, Reggae University, and many other activities of every day, not to mention restaurants with good flavors from around the world!
We expect another week full of emotions, such as Rototom Sunsplash gives us from 20 years. Edition number 21 is about to begin, the countdown is ending! We Are One!

The increasing prevalence of obesity and co-morbidities such as type II diabetes poses a significant health problem worldwide. Understanding the cellular signaling pathways underlying these pathological states is critical to assist in developing potential therapeutic treatment of these conditions. Leptin is a hormone secreted by fat, which acts on neurons in the central nervous system (CNS) to regulate food intake and energy expenditure. Leptin initiates an intracellular signaling cascade which in turn leads to changes in ion channel activity and gene expression that ultimately keep energy balance in check. The leptin signaling pathway is tightly controlled by tyrosine phosphorylation, and two protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) have recently been implicated in regulation of the leptin signaling pathway in the brain: PTP1B and SHP2. These PTPs clearly have important in vivo roles in regulating energy balance, but the precise neuronal site(s) of action and the mechanism of PTP1B/SHP2 action at a cellular level are unknown. POMC and AgRP neurons in the hypothalamus are an important site of both energy balance and glucose homeostasis regulation. We hypothesize that PTP1B and SHP2 have important metabolic roles specifically in these neurons via either leptin-dependent or - independent effects.
Our specific aims will address the effects of PTP1B or SHP2 deletion specifically in POMC- or AgRP-expressing neurons of mice on body weight, adiposity, leptin sensitivity, and glucose tolerance. Furthermore, these studies will address how PTP1B or SHP2 deletion in hypothalamic neurons affects the electrophysiological properties of these neurons. This combination of genetic, biochemical, and electrophysiological techniques will provide essential information about the cellular mechanism of PTP action in hypothalamic neurons as relates to energy balance.
Obesity and associated diseases such as type II diabetes are increasing at an alarming rate throughout the world. These proposed experiments will investigate the cellular mechanisms contributing to the development of leptin resistance, a pathological state which can lead to obesity and type II diabetes. We hypothesize that regulation of signaling by protein tyrosine phosphatases in the hypothalamus is an important component of the cellular signaling pathways regulating neuronal control of energy balance.

text: Avengers trailer screencaps show off Marvel's brand new Hulk, and more!Meredith Woerner10/11/11 2:18pmFiled to: The AvengersMoviesStillsComicsSuperheroesMarveliron manHulkcaptain americaTop2041EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink You've seen The Avengers brand new trailer, now it's time to dissect each frame and squeeze out all the superheroic goodies. Why is Loki getting arrested? Are those alien space ships? What's with the lasers? Check out our trailer breakdown now. A threat from above? Cops, civilians and the national guard raises their eyes and guns to the sky. Meanwhile Loki stands alone amidst the shambles of some dark set. Is that a glimpse of the infamous Loki horned helmet? Most likely, yes. Looks like Loki has gone full blown crazy. He jumps in the air (and is presumably captured, 'cause later on we seem him getting escorted away. Also it looks like he was playing with the cosmic cube in an earlier shot, did anyone catch the glowing blue thing hovering round his chest. This would make sense as a Loki-controlled Erik Selvig was seen in the Thor after-credits scene ogling the cube and its unlimited power. If he is in fact messing with the cube, this also reinforces the rumors that the Skrulls will come to Earth (one of the alien developers of the Cube). Meanwhile the Earth is still under attack. LOTS OF EXPLOSIONS. Remember director Joss Whedon promised he was going to BLOW SHIT UP? Boom, there you have it. Meanwhile a helicopter glides into a very busy base. "Everyone, act busy — Fury's coming!" First good Nick Fury shot (still haven't seen Agent Coulson's face yet, just the back of his head through various scenes). Fury narrates, "There was an idea to bring together a group of remarkable people so that when we needed them they could fight the battles that we never could." And of course he's talking about... Captain America (check out his new suit). Hulk (look at Hulk's sad home). Thor (who apparently found a way back to Earth). Black Widow. Hawkeye. And Iron Man. Snuck inside that quick cut of the newly assembled heroes was one shot of Loki, presumably getting arrested. Here he is being carted away... but with a knowing smile. Also we noticed quite a few jets flying around NYC, none of these are similar to the Skrull ships we've seen in these behind the scene videos and photos. But it's still very early. Captain America and Iron Man together and looking a little beaten down. This is the first time I've seen them both in their costumes next to each other. It's great. Inside Avengers HQ, you can see plenty of touch screens and a bit of alien tech in the front. What is that glowing contraption? Later on you see Loki wielding it — a Cosmic Cube-holder? Also is that a scan of a Skrull ship behind Thor's shoulder? Tony Stark and Steve Rogers start bickering. Thor smiles. Nick Fury with a rocket launcher. Hawkeye does a sick slide on a patch of pavement to avoid motherfucking LASERS. Clearly from aliens. Black Widow executes her crotch-to-face punch, this time in a dress! Also whose lair is this? It's a warehouse with a chandelier — oh, you hipster villains. Thor attacks Captain America, or Skrull Captain America? Avengers headquarters is bombed. Loki grabs Tony by the throat. Loki's got his weapon back. First ever look at the new Hulk. And Coulson in the background.Reply204 repliesLeave a reply

3 Odd Uses for Coffee Beans
Freshen your breath
What to do when you're all out of breath mints? Just suck on a coffee bean for a while and your mouth will smell clean and fresh again.
Remove foul odor from hands
If your hands smell of garlic, fish or other strong foods you've been handling, a few coffee beans may be all you need to get rid of the odor. Put the beans in your hands and rub them together. The oil released from the coffee beans will absorb the foul smell. When the odor is gone, wash your hands in warm, soapy water.
Fill a beanbag
They don't call them beanbags for nothing. Coffee beans are ideal as beanbag filler, but with the price of coffee these days, it's a good idea to wait for a sale.

Berwick, Morgan City to meet in jamboree
By GEOFF STOUTE
MORGAN CITY — Berwick and Morgan City will square off Friday night in an eastern St. Mary Parish matchup in the portion of the St. Mary Parish Jamboree that is being played at Tiger Stadium.
The two teams will meet in the nightcap, expected to begin around 7:30 p.m.
Earlier, West St. Mary will face Hanson at 6 p.m.
Morgan City coach Dennis Lorio said, from film study, he has seen that offensively, Berwick runs option and midline and utilizes some motion.
He also noted they completed some passes to their tight end and their quarterback was fast.
"They were playing hard," Lorio said. "We're both in the same position. We're trying to get our program on the uprise."
On defense, Lorio said Berwick used a 3-4 scheme and is aggressive and pursues the ball well and used a lot of slants.
In Berwick, coach Craig Brodie said Morgan City looks "very athletic," and he said like teams do in scrimmages, Morgan City didn't show a lot.
"They didn't get in a whole lot of formations offensively. They didn't run very many plays," he said.
Just as he does with his team on offense and defense, Brodie said he expects the Tigers to show more when the two squads meet Friday evening.
Of his offense, Lorio said his squad must establish a running game and subsequently can use play-action and other passing.
Brodie said he was looking to see how his squad handled the "game situation" as well as putting his special teams' unit on the field in a game setting.
Lorio also was interested in seeing how his special teams performed.
"(We're) real behind on that, but we've put in some work on that."
Lorio hopes special teams can be an advantage for the Tigers to swing close games in their favor.
Friday's games are sponsored by B&G Foods (title sponsor) and Urgent Care of Morgan City (associate sponsor).

Combined Portfolio Offers SAP Customers the Industry'sMost Complete End-to-End Mobility Solution
As part of its ongoing strategy to simplify enterprise mobility, Kony Solutions, Inc., today announced it will acquire Sky Technologies, an SAP-certified mobility solutions provider based in Melbourne, Australia. The acquisition brings together Sky's deep enterprise expertise and large installed base of SAP mobile customers with Kony's award-winning mobile and multichannel application platform, packaged mobile applications, and mobile application management (MAM) solutions. The resulting solution will enable corporations of all sizes to accelerate time to revenue and time to market by harnessing highly efficient mobile technologies for both business-to-consumer (B2C) and business-to-employee (B2E) applications.
This strategic acquisition by Kony comes during a shift in computing to mobile devices, both within the enterprise and among consumers. To meet the demands created by this shift, industry analyst firm Gartner, Inc. recommends that businesses take a multichannel approach to their computing strategies, creating a unified architecture encompassing mobile, rich client, desktop Web, and other digital channels to deliver optimized user experiences across the full variety of devices that users interact with every day.
"This move makes Kony Solutions the undisputed mobile and multichannel application platform leader, with a strong roster of customers of all sizes, across multiple industries and regions," said Raj Koneru, CEO of Kony Solutions. "By combining forces with Sky, Kony enables our customers to partner with a single provider for all their mobility and multichannel needs. Our mobile solutions not only manage the mobile demands of millions of consumers who want to interact with a brand on the go, across a myriad of devices, but also the complex requirements of the workforce."
"Sky Technologies and Kony share a customer-centric approach and dedication to delivering the world's best mobile experience and technology through constant innovation and a focus on delivering enterprise-grade mobile solutions to businesses," said Troy O'Connor, CEO and co-founder of Sky Technologies. "It is a compelling combination and great news for all those wanting to offer innovative multichannel and mobile solutions to billions of users, not only in the U.S. but worldwide. It also extends our existing offering to Sky customers who want to mobilize their Siebel, Peoplesoft, Microsoft Sharepoint and other non-SAP environments."
"Kony's acquisition and global deployment of Sky's valuable technology is testament to the strength and innovation of its home-grown and funded Australian team. We can all be very proud that a high-quality Australian technology company will now merge technologies with one of the most exciting global companies in the mobile space," said Dominique Fisher, Chairman of Sky Technologies.
With Sky Technologies, Kony can immediately offer customers a significantly broader range of B2E solutions, including certified integration with SAP environments. SAP customers in particular benefit from Sky's ability to deploy from inside SAP and domain expertise in B2E environments. Meanwhile, Sky Technologies customers benefit from Kony's broad array of pre-built B2C and B2E applications, its broad and deep multichannel application platform, and its mobile application management/mobile device management solutions. The acquisition, along with Kony's existing strategic partnerships with Accenture, Cognizant and IBM, will allow Kony to operate mobility centers of excellence in North and South America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia-Pacific.
An established SAP partner, Sky Technologies has more than 100 Global 2000 customers using its technology to mobilize SAP in B2E applications. Customers include brands such as Konica Minolta, Schweppes, Toyota, WA Water Corporation, Princes Foods, Henkel, Tyco, Carl Zeiss, and some of the world's leading consumer products and professional services companies. The Sky Technologies customer portfolio deepens Kony's already robust client portfolio and extends the company's business solutions across the financial services, retail, travel, transport, utilities and manufacturing sectors. Together, both companies have more than 200 customers with numerous B2C and B2E deployments across multiple industries.
The combined company will continue to provide full support of Sky Technologies' products to new and current customers, prospects and partners.
Additional information about the acquisition can be found on Kony's website at: www.kony.com/sky.
