Eaten the First Time
One: Race
December 1 is Blog Against Racism Day, for the sensible reason that:
Discussion of racism is often shot down by the nervous – conservatives and liberals alike – as "playing the race card," a close semantic kin to the "PC" gambit often used to squelch criticism of offensive language in the public sphere. Odd, then that objecting to the term is itself a form of political correctness: "don't say racist! That's offensive!" The thing is, if we discuss racism as a systemic ill, as a function of misinformation and reversible prejudice, if we describe racism in terms of effects rather than intent, then we do a couple things. First, we grant the possibility of redemption, the possibility that people raised in a racist society — me, you, everyone I know — can root out those prejudices. Second, we grant our opponents the freedom to think whatever they like: it's the effects that count.
Society needs to have this discussion. But the responsibility for discussing racism has long been relegated to those people most directly affected by it. In other words, people who aren't white. Us white folks have the luxury of not thinking about racism on a daily basis. As a result, most of us don't. I think it would be helpful if we started to do our share of that particular chore.
I might flake out at the last minute (whine whine AGU finals blah blah) but you should all participate. And mail your entries to this racist loon – why is it that attempts to justify one's sense of self-entitlement by means of bigotry one has swallowed from the culture, and subsequently coughed up without thought, always sound so whiny? Other than, y'know, the obvious reasons, I mean.
Two: Gender
The discussion at Cosmic Variance about the mismatch between fertility and the (sciencey!) tenure track has been exploding Firefox on me. If you don't want to risk it, the best comment was from Kieran Healey:
Who knew that women in science reproduce by parthenogenesis? – there are satisfyingly many people on the thread who seem to agree with me that this oughtn't be the women's issue that it is. With that, you can skip directly to a partial solution, a bill to start throwing money at real support for student parents:
We focus on birth control and delaying pregnancy. But the thing is, it isn't having a child that screws girls over: it's the stigma against having kids, the total lack of social support, the "you made your bed, now lie in it" attitude that we have as a society.
To which I can only say: 'zackly. And, it's about damn time the "pro-life" wing started acting like it. And apparently, rah rah Barack Obama.
Two links in one post might make me an official squealing Chris Clarke fangirl, but earnestly non-nerdy rock blogging was just too much to pass up. One of these days I'm going to have to sneak up to Pinole and buy that man some beer.
Also, I've been meaning to mention this on th' blog for a while, and now's the time: Tampa, Florida has my new favoritest civic festivals evar, even better than the California Dry Bean Festival: Guavaween and Gasparilla. Gasparilla, you are particularly urged to note, is about pirates. Arrr!

Revisting The West Fork Of The San Jacinto
On my last trip here I was able to paddle about three and a half miles upstream through the Sam Houston National Forest before reaching a logjam that I couldn't get past. But to get that far, I had to drag my kayak over or around four smaller deadfalls.
Things were a bit different this time as I made my way upstream. Most of the same deadfalls were still there. But with the water level a couple of feet higher, I was able to glide right over most of them in my kayak. This left me free to enjoy the beautiful spring day, the new green on the trees, and the sound of the birds singing in the adjoining woods.
After cruising along so easily for the first three and a half miles, I was disappointed to find the channel still blocked by the exact same logjam which ended my last exploration here. I had hoped that the higher water level would enable me to explore a mile or so farther upstream, but it wasn't to be.
So I turned and slowly made my way back south to the launch point at Stubblefield Lake. It was a wonderful, relaxing paddle. And it was great to see Lake Conroe almost full once again.

KAMLOOPS – The Kamloops teachers' union is frustrated with the proposed cuts that would see 17 teachers and three educational assistants lose their jobs heading into the next school year, but if others join them in their frustration they did not officially bring up their concerns with the school district.
In a letter submitted to the Kamloops-Thompson School District, the only correspondence submitted to the district regarding the proposed budget cuts, David Komeljenovic, president of the teacher's association, expressed his group's frustrations with the board's proposed cuts.
The union says the budget has to be what's best for students and the potential lay-off of 20 positions has the union upset. While they understand the budget pressure the board is facing, the union cannot abide with any decision that will ultimately affect students.
They say the board's arguments for lay-offs are the same as last year. The anticipated loss of students, translating into the loss of provincial funding never happened last year though. The union says student levels have remained the same since 2013-14 school year. If this holds true again this coming school year, there is no need to cause such disruptions, Komeljenovic notes in the letter.
The union wants the board to use its $7.4-million reserve to offset any lay-offs.
"We appreciate that some amount has been utilized to support staffing for next year but would propose the sufficient funds be utilized to avoid lay-offs if it appears that lay-offs are necessary," the letter states.
The union says it is unfair to cut teachers while the board has maintained the same amount of administrative staff and has actually increased the amount of exempt staff in the district office. It urges to use reserve funds for teachers as opposed to anything else.
To combat what the union calls 'misleading information,' it asks the board to join forces to write a letter to the ministry highlighting how provincial cuts are affecting education.
The board is working through the union's letter and their input will be noted Monday, April 11, through the board meeting to adopt the budget.

CAIRO — Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak named a vice president Saturday for the first time since coming to power nearly 30 years ago. It was a clear step toward setting up a successor in the midst of the biggest challenge ever to his rule from tens of thousands of anti-government protesters.
Mubarak named his intelligence chief and close confidant Omar Suleiman, state television reported.
Mubarak was widely seen as grooming his son Gamal to succeed him, possibly even as soon as in presidential elections planned for later this year. However, there was significant public opposition to the hereditary succession.
Suleiman has been in charge of some of Egypt's most sensitive foreign policy issues, including the Palestinian-Israeli peace process and inter-Palestinian divisions.
His appointment as vice president answers one of the most intriguing and most enduring political questions in Egypt: who would succeed the 82-year-old Mubarak?
Like Mubarak, Suleiman has a military background. The powerful military has provided Egypt with its four presidents since the monarchy was toppled nearly 60 years ago.
var so = new SWFObject("HTTP://hosted.ap.org/specials/interactives/_international/egypt-mubarak/content.swf?SITE=OHTOL", "content", "400", "350", "10", "#FFFFFF");
Earlier Saturday, a massive crowd of tens of thousands calling for the ouster of Mubarak gathered in the streets and squares of downtown Cairo on Saturday afternoon, with protesters making clear they reject promises of reform and a new government offered by the embattled leader trying to hang on to power.
Dozens of tanks and armored personnel carriers fanned out across the city of 18 million, guarding key government building a day after large, violent confrontations emboldened the movement demanding a change of leadership. There was rampant looting across the sprawling city of 18 million and a growing feeling of fear and insecurity.
In the city's main Tahrir Square, at the center of Saturday's massive demonstration, there was only a light military presence — a few tanks — and soldiers are not intervening. Few police were seen in the crowds and the protest began peacefully but then police opened fire on some people in the crowd near the Interior Ministry and a number of them were wounded by gunshots. It was not clear whether they used rubber bullets or live ammunition.
One army captain joined the demonstrators, who hoisted him on their shoulders while chanting slogans against Mubarak. The officer ripped a picture of the president.
"We don't want him! We will go after him!" demonstrators shouted. They decried looting and sabotage, saying: "Those who love Egypt should not sabotage Egypt!"
The death toll since the largest anti-government protests in decades began Tuesday rose to 45, according to medical and security officials, 38 of them killed since Friday. Some 2,000 injuries have been reported.
Dozens of military armored personnel carriers and tanks as well as soldiers on foot deployed around a number of key government buildings in the capital, including state television and the Foreign Ministry after thousands of protesters besieged the two offices in Friday's riots.
The military was protecting important tourist and archaeological sites such as the Egyptian Museum, home to some of the country's most treasured antiquities, as well as the Cabinet building. The pyramids on the outskirts of Cairo — Egypt's premiere tourist site — were closed by the military to tourists.
On Friday, protesters burned down the ruling party's headquarters complex along the Nile in one of the more dramatic scenes in a day of utter chaos.
The demonstrators did not appear satisfied with Mubarak's actions to address the discontent. The president of 30 years fired his Cabinet late Friday night and promised reforms, which many doubt he will deliver.
"What we want is for Mubarak to leave, not just his government," Mohammed Mahmoud, a demonstrator in the city's main Tahrir Square, said Saturday. "We will not stop protesting until he goes."
As the protests entered their fifth straight day, the military extended a night curfew imposed Friday in the three major cities where the worst violence has been seen — Cairo, Alexandria and Suez. State television reported the curfew would now begin at 4 p.m. and last until 8 a.m., longer than the 6 p.m. to 7 a.m. ban Friday night that appeared to not have been enforced.
Internet appeared blocked for a second day to hamper protesters who use social networking sites to organize. And after cell phone service was cut for a day Friday, two of the country's major providers were up and running Saturday.
In the capital on Friday night, hundreds of young men carted away televisions, fans and stereo equipment looted from the ruling National Democratic Party, near the Egyptian Museum. Young men formed a human barricade in front of the museum to protect one of Egypt's most important tourist attractions.
Others around the city looted banks, smashed cars, tore down street signs and pelted armored riot police vehicles with paving stones torn from roadways.
After years of simmering discontent in this nation where protests are generally limited, Egyptians were emboldened to take to the streets by the uprising in Tunisia — another North African Arab nation.
But a police crackdown drew harsh criticism from the Obama administration and even a threat Friday to reduce a $1.5 billion foreign aid program if Washington's most important Arab ally escalates the use of force.
Stepping up the pressure, President Barack Obama told a news conference he called Mubarak immediately after his TV address and urged the Egyptian leader to take "concrete steps" to expand rights and refrain from violence against protesters.
"The United States will continue to stand up for the rights of the Egyptian people and work with their government in pursuit of a future that is more just, more free and more hopeful," Obama said.
Sen. John Kerry, a Democrat and chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, speaking on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos Switzerland, said Saturday he believes Mubarak must address the issues that matter to the people of Egypt.
"Dismissing the government doesn't speak to some of those challenges," he said. "I think he's got to speak more to the real issues that people feel," he said. "Dismissing the government doesn't speak to some of those challenges."
On Friday massive crowds numbering in the tens of thousands overwhelmed police forces in Cairo and other cities around the nation with their numbers, attacking them with rocks and firebombs. Police have primarily used countless canisters of tear gas to disperse the crowds and beat them back with batons and sticks. They have also fired rubber bullets and used water cannons.
In a clear sign that things had spiraled out of police control, Mubarak called in the military by Friday night to enforce the night curfew. Late at night, there were scenes of armored personnel carriers filled with troops rolling slowly down the picturesque corniche along the Nile, thronged by cheering crowds who showed them affection.
There have been no clashes reported between the military and the protesters and many of them seem to feel the army is with them. Some even scrawled black graffiti on a tank that read: "Down with Mubarak."
In contrast, protesters have shown scorn to police, who are hated for their brutality.
In Tahrir Square, streets were littered with debris, glass, rocks and garbage and what appeared to be bullet casings. Charred fire engines and police trucks still smoldered. Fire engines tried to extinguish a fire in the building housing the government press monitor next to the Egyptian Museum.
Protesters attacked riot police with stones as they tried to enter the square, and officers responded with a barrage of tear gas and rubber bullets.
Some protesters were wearing T-shirts with "Down with Mubarak" emblazoned on their fronts. Others chanted: "The people want to topple the regime."
Not far from the square, the army sealed off the road leading to the parliament and Cabinet buildings.
Along the Nile, smoke was still billowing from the ruling party's headquarters, which protesters set ablaze during Friday's unrest, the most dramatic day of protests since the unrest began on Tuesday.

So, I'm 99.9% sure that I've never shared this room with you guys before. I'm not exactly sure why, other than the fact that it's one of the most un-decorated rooms in our house and I've just never felt that it was blog-worthy. But today, that all changes! We've recently made a couple of long-overdue improvements in here so I thought I would share.
Welcome to the Media Room!
This room is one of the two bedrooms in the basement, although it can't technically be considered a basement since it has no windows, which is also what makes it perfect for a media room.
When we bought this house, this room was #1 on Steven's to-do list. Before we even closed on it, he had the projector, surround sound and furniture all picked out. I think we had this room finished before we even had furniture in the rest of the rooms. Ah, men and their toys. :)
I chose the paint color, mostly because when I thought "Media Room," red immediately came to mind. Plus I'd always wanted to paint a room red. Now I'm completely, 100% over the red but I'm not at all looking forward to painting over it. I'll share a list of what I'd like to do in this room at the bottom of the post. Whether any of it actually gets done or not is yet to be determined because this room ranks way way down on the priority list.
Anywho, onto the improvements! For the past 6 years, all of the electronics sat on the floor behind the sofas.
Left to right: Receiver for the sound system, Xbox, DVD player, PS3, subwoofer.
It has always been our intention to do something about this eyesore but we wanted to go big. We were thinking a wall of built-in cabinetry that would make the back wall flush (see how the wall juts back and the electronics sit in a little niche?). Maybe with some glass-front cabinets, lit from above and stocked with candy. Oh, and a popcorn maker! These are the things that prevented us from doing anything:
1) We didn't know exactly how we would accomplish all of this.
2) There was always another project higher up on the priority list.
3) It just didn't seem that important.
Well, I finally decided that instead of doing nothing, we should at least do something for now. Later if we get the motivation to have a cool candy bar, we can do it, but we just had to get these expensive electronics up off of the basement floor.
So, while we were at IKEA back in December (buying things for the nursery), we picked up this BESTA cabinet. Steven put it together and loaded the electronics in and voila - a much neater looking space behind the sofas!
Seriously, why do easy, inexpensive (I can't remember how much BESTA was, but you know IKEA and their crazy good Swedish prices!) fixes like this take us so dang long?
Now let's move on to the closet. The previous owner of our house never put closet systems in either of the closets in the basement, so this room has always been a blank slate. This is the largest closet in our entire house (yes, I'm fairly certain it's bigger than our master), and we've never utilized it to its full potential.
Exhibit A: The sad state of our DVD/Blu-ray collection:
Steven spent an hour or two one day during his Christmas break installing a few shelves in here and boy it is nice to see all of our movies nice and organized!
Eventually, we'd like to put some more, deeper shelves below these to store our board games. These shelves are actually on the right wall of the closet (or the "Media Archive Room" as Steven calls it), so you can't see them when you first look in there from the doorway.
This closet is so large that when we had to move our office things out of the future nursery, this is where they ended up. We just don't have another good spot for them. So now we officially have a Cloffice! I've always wanted one of those...
Yes, we still have some organizing to do. (The desk is up against the left wall of the closet in case you're getting confused.)
You want a closer look at our manly black leather sofas? Your wish is my command...
Each seat reclines, which is nice, but if I've complained about these ugly masculine sofas once, I've complained about them a thousand times. They're cold, show scratches/imperfections very easily, and just don't fit in the room the way I'd like.
It is cool that they have built-in cup holders though.
Now let's take a little look-see from the sofa back toward the door.
I will admit, the view is nice.
Who else loves Sheldon Cooper?
As promised, here's my wish list:
1. Repaint the room a soothing blue color. Not too neutral, but not too bright.
2. Frame posters from our favorite movies and hang them along the wall, movie theater style.
3. Replace ugly sofas with a huge sectional.
4. Get a nice upholstered ottoman to take up some of the floor space in the middle of the room.
5. Maybe get some poufs that can be thrown around for extra seating?
6. Do something to make the speakers blend in a little more (the ones on the back wall can't be recessed because behind the sheetrock is a lovely wall of cinder blocks!).
7. Install a candy/popcorn bar!
Well, making that list just now has got my head spinning with the possibilities. Quick, somebody hide the paint brushes!

Accommodation Styles
What sort of accommodation is available?
Although there is some minor variation within the styles of accommodation available, there are fundamentally 3 styles:
- Standard Rooms
- Studio Apartments (Primarily for students who are not in their first year of residency at the College)
- One Bedroom Apartments (Primarily for graduate residents)
What is a Standard Room?
The College has 154 standard rooms. These are comfortable single rooms with shared facilities. These rooms are primarily reserved for first year residents and for residents who are on exchange or study abroad programs.
Residents in the standard rooms are able to select 21 or 14 meals per week as there are no food preparation facilities within these rooms. The 14 meal option is particularly attractive for students who may be at universities other than the University of Western Australia.
The rooms are fully furnished however, the College encourages residents to bring some of those more personal touches from home as an emotional comfort. Should a resident have a medical condition that requires a particular style of furniture, this needs to be discussed with the Deputy Head of College prior to the item being brought in.
Some indicative photos of a standard room are shown here. However, it is important to note that there is some variation amongst the rooms: some have balconies, some have ensuites (normally reserved for returning students with a leadership role), some have direct access to recreation areas etc.
Students living in the standard rooms have full access to the new facilities including two recreation centres, two academic learning centres, print room, and group study rooms.
The offer of residency within a standard room is solely at the College's discretion, unlike the NRAS studios or one bedroom apartments where compliance with Government priority groups is a prerequisite for the College receiving financial support.
What is a Studio Apartment?
The College has 200 studio apartments available (including 8 universally accessible). These apartments are particularly for students who are not in their first year of residency at the College. These rooms are: fully furnished (including a refrigerator, cooktop, and microwave oven), air-conditioned and ensuited. The cards used to enter these studio apartments also play a crucial role in controlling energy usage and are used to access both the dining and printing facilities. Students in the studio apartments are entitled to 7 meals per week.
As with the one bedroom apartments, the studio apartments are known as NRAS apartments. As such these apartments are rented out to residents under the legislation and regulations of the National Rental Affordability Scheme (NRAS) and the Residential Tenancies Act (RTA). Additional information regarding NRAS can be found below.
An offer of residency in the NRAS studios and one bedroom apartments must comply with the Government conditions that form the prerequisites for the College to receive financial support.
There will be a number of configurations with the same provisions.
8 universally accessible studio apartments are also available.
What is in a Studio Apartment?
|Air-conditioning (reverse cycle)
|Bed linen/pillow
|Doona/blanket (including doona cover)
|Refrigerator (249 litre)
|Small kitchen appliances
|Microwave (25 litre)

What is a 1 Bedroom Apartment?
The College has 45 one bedroom apartments available. These apartments are primarily intended for postgraduate students and Resident Advisors (an RA is a resident who has become a part-time staff member of the College to assist with its operations). These apartments are: fully furnished (including a refrigerator, cooktop, and microwave oven), air-conditioned and ensuited. A separate bedroom with a queen size bed is an added feature of these apartments. The cards used to enter these apartments also play a part in controlling energy usage and are used to access both the dining and printing facilities. Students in the one bedroom apartments are entitled to 2 meals per week and receive a complimentary, non-transferrable parking permit for the secure basement parking facility.
As with the studio apartments, the one bedroom apartments are known as NRAS rooms. As such these rooms are rented out to residents under the legislation and regulations of the National Rental Affordability Scheme (NRAS) and the Residential Tenancies Act (RTA). Additional information regarding NRAS can be found later in this Prospectus.
The images below show a "display" 1 bedroom apartment.
An offer of residency in the NRAS studios and 1 bedroom apartments must comply with the Government conditions that form the prerequisites for the College to receive financial support.
There will be a number of configurations with the same provisions.
3 universally accessible one bedroom apartments are available.
Each 1 bedroom apartment has a living area that has a couch, small table and chairs. Furniture in these photographs are indicative only. Decorative items are not included.
Each 1 bedroom apartment has an ensuite with toilet, shower and basin/vanity.

National Rental Affordability Scheme (NRAS)
What is NRAS?
The National Rental Affordability Scheme (NRAS or the Scheme) is a partnership between the Australian Government and the states and territories to invest in affordable rental housing.
The Scheme seeks to address the shortage of affordable rental housing for low and moderate income households. It does this by ensuring that NRAS accommodation is rented out at a rate that is at least 20 per cent below the market value. St Thomas More College has 245 NRAS apartments available. The Scheme has a number of terms and conditions relating to admission and eligibility that St Thomas More College must adhere to.
What are the eligibility requirements?
To be eligible you must have an annual income (in Australian Dollars) below $49,547 for the 12 months prior to your lease commencement date.
Please note, that the income threshold is reviewed and set by the Department of Social Services annually.
To enable St Thomas More College to assess your eligibility, you are required to:
- Complete a gross income assessment for the 12 month period prior to your lease commencement date;
- Provide relevant supporting documentation/evidence to prove your declared income amount (where applicable);
- Complete a Tenant Demographic Assessment form.
These forms will be provided to you prior to your arrival via email. It is a requirement that we receive this information before you move into your room.
If we are unable to satisfactorily determine your income based on your completion of the Income Assessment Form and the supporting documentation that you provide, you may be required to complete a Commonwealth Statutory Declaration.
Your continuing eligibility in a NRAS approved dwelling will be assessed on the 12 month anniversary of your lease commencement date. If at this time, your annual gross income exceeds $61,934 (also reviewed and set by the Department of Social Services annually) you will cease to be eligible.
You can check the most up-to date income thresholds at:
What are the special admission conditions?
With respect to admitting students to reside in rooms built under the National Rental Affordability Scheme (NRAS), St Thomas More College allocates these rooms based on the conditions of the agreement with the Government which are to prioritise accommodation for students aged between 18-30 years along with:
- Students with low socio-economic status
- Indigenous Australian students
- Students that are located in rural and isolated areas of Western Australia relocating to Perth
- Students with disabilities and within the context of overcoming educational disadvantage associated with gender
- Women enrolled in non-traditional disciplines such as IT, engineering, architecture and postgraduate study.
St Thomas More College gives priority to the above-listed students as well as students from interstate.
First year students are customarily housed in standard rooms to enable them to take full advantage of the College's orientation and transition to university programs as well as the enhanced pastoral care and access to mentoring that is available in this mode of accommodation. International exchange and study abroad students are also housed in standard rooms except at the discretion of the College.

By raising new vehicle fuel economy standards by 3 to 6% per year, the U.S government is offering us lower annual gasoline bills, less greenhouse gas emissions, and safer roads (if we all drive around in smaller cars we end the "arms race" on our roads as the laws of physics F=M*A holds). In this editorial , the NY Times implicitly says that this is a "free lunch".
Do economists agree? Are we so nasty that we do not support higher disposable income, less climate change, and increased safety? Perhaps, but there is another issue lurking.
Chris Knittel, a MIT economist, has a paper that will published soon in the American Economic Review. Here is an old version. Here is a quote from my friend Chris' paper;
"New car fleet fuel economy, weight and engine power have changed drastically since 1980. These changes represent both movements along and shifts in the "fuel economy/weight/engine power production possibilities frontier". This paper estimates the technological progress that has occurred since 1980 and
the trade-offs that manufacturers and consumers face when choosing between fuel economy, weight and engine power characteristics. The results suggest that if weight, horsepower and torque were held at their 1980 levels, fuel economy for both passenger cars and light trucks could have increased by nearly
50 percent from 1980 to 2006; this is in stark contrast to the 15 percent by which fuel economy actually increased."
So, what does this mean? For profit firms build cars that people want to buy. While car makers have had the capacity to build highly fuel efficient vehicles (the 50% increase), they have chosen not to do so. If car buyers solely cared about fuel bills and climate change, then the car makers would have already achieved the 50% increase in fuel economy and new vehicles would already be achieving 40 MPG.
So, this is a long winded lead-in to the point that as regulation required MPG increases --- many car purchasers will be less happy with the new vehicles they are buying. This loss in "consumer surplus" is ignored by many in the regulatory community when considering the true cost of this regulation. Intuitively, there are people who want to buy Hummers and don't want to trade them for a Prius.
Optimistic regulators are implicitly assuming that carmakers will figure out how to have "the best of both worlds" (i.e a vehicle that looks like a Hummer that achieves 40 MPG). If this is impossible and whole types of large vehicles can no longer be sold on the new car market, certain consumer segments will disproportionately suffer a loss in consumer well being. For the economists, the field of structural IO has been thinking about this for a long time (see Berry, Levinson, Pakes, Petrin, Knittel and others).
The regulators are assuming that the MPG of a vehicle can be increased without affecting any of its other attributes. Knittel's work shows that this can't be right.
Suppose that General Motors and Exxon were a merged monopoly profit maximizing company. In this case, the conspiracy theorists would be right that GM would have an incentive to sell fuel guzzling vehicles because this raises Exxon's profits. In this case, government regulation could nudge us to a better MPG equilibrium.
In reality, GM and Exxon are separate companies and GM only considers its profits from selling cars. If consumers want smaller vehicles (perhaps because world gas prices are rising), then GM has an incentive to sell them. Knittel's work shows that GM has an increased ability to make such vehicles (due to technological advance) but it has chosen not to (which reveals that people don't want them). Now, the government will force the ramp up in MPG and the key issue here is what vehicle attributes that people value will be removed from the next generation of vehicles to allow the companies to meet the mandate?
I support the rising MPG for the fleet (due to the GHG externality and the road safety externality) but I want there to be an honest discussion of the cost of new vehicle regulation. To actually have this discussion, the government must welcome in the structural IO economists.

Variety is the Spice of Every Party
Planning a party can be so stressful that by the time everyone turns up, you don't have any energy left to enjoy their company. The guest list, the food, the drinks, don't forget the ice, making sure you have enough seats, glasses and plates to go around, what about the music, and oh no, you forgot the ice. A party-planning checklist can help you remember all the little details, so you can relax and enjoy focusing on something fun like the menu.
You can spend hours browsing online or in the supermarket, deciding what to serve on the big day. A party is the perfect opportunity to try a recipe you've been thinking about, or to buy a bunch of gourmet treats. But you have to remember that you won't be the only one eating.
Just like you'll serve beer and wine because not everyone likes the same thing, keep your guests' differing tastes in mind when shopping for party food. I love stinky cheese, and will dig into Brie rind and all. But I know people who affectionately call me a filthy rind eater, and don't like any cheese stronger than mild cheddar. That's why most of us serve four or five types of cheese at once. But we need to apply that logic to the rest of the hors d'oeuvres.
How many times have you been to a party where there's a bowl of tortilla chips next to a bowl of salsa? Now, most of our salsas are medium heat. But for some people, that's too hot and for others, too mild. That's why we also make mild and hot salsa. Rather than buy a few jars of one type of salsa, and keep refilling the bowl as the party wears on, why not serve several types of salsa at once? Your guests will enjoy the variety, and that's one less thing you'll have to go back to the kitchen for.
And what about crudités? It's a party classic, and most people serve ranch dressing with their veggies. And that's another bowl you'll have to refill at least once. But what if some of your guests don't like ranch dressing? And who decreed that we serve crudités on a round platter around a single bowl of dip anyway? The party gods aren't going to smite you for serving some blue cheese, thousand island or green goddess dip as well.
When you're entertaining a large group of people, you also need to consider allergies and dietary restrictions. When you send out the invitations, ask people what they don't eat. That way you won't use this year's pecan harvest in half the dishes only to discover that some of your guests are deathly allergic to nuts as they slowly back out the door.
Everyone loves options. So when you're putting together a menu for any party, try to offer your guests some variety such as NAKED infusions 8 gourmet infused organic salsas. That way, the food will be as entertaining as the company.

Jonathan Jaffe's Biography
Jonathan Jaffe did attempt to go to college but also continued to play poker on the side. Just one semester in, he discovered that poker is what he wanted to pursue in life and did so with the support of family. He attributes their support as one way that he remains grounded in the game.
Jonathan first started making live event headlines in 2008 when he finished fourth in the $10,000 Heads-Up World Championship at the 2008 World Series of Poker. Later that year, he finished second in the Main Event of the WPT World Poker Finals, taking home $678,636.
Jonathan had a solid year in live events in 2014. He scored a pair of cashes at the 2013 WSOP, including a 42nd place finish in the Main Event. His Main Event run was good for $185,694. He currently has 15 WSOP cashes and one final table appearance.
In October, Jonathan took down his second victory at the Foxwoods Poker Finals. This time he won a $1,500 preliminary event, earning $54,372.
Jonathan has continued running strong in 2014. During the 2014 PCA, Jonathan made the final table of a $5,300 NL Turbo preliminary event, ultimately finishing in ninth place. Jonathan has over $1.44 million in live tournament earnings.
Jonathan has had tremendous success online as well. In 2009, he took down the PokerStars World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) $25,000 NL Heads-Up Event and $315,000. Additionally, in 2013, he placed first in the WCOOP Event #22, $215 NL Hold'em, to win his second bracelet and $251,673.45 in prize money. His bread and butter games online are heads-up sit-and-go's and so far he has racked up over $800,000.
Jonathan prefers to focus on online poker as it allows him the freedom to live the lifestyle he wishes. As part of Ivey Poker, Jonathan will continue to dominate both the live and online arenas in hopes of one day taking down his first major live poker title.

The Law Officer's Pocket Manual - Bloomberg BNA
This handy 4" x 6" spiral-bound manual offers examples showing how rules are...
The New York college football player who was fatally shot after striking a Mount Pleasant (N.Y.) Police officer with a vehicle during a street brawl was handcuffed by officers following the shooting.
Danroy "DJ" Henry, 20, was handcuffed and laying on the ground for 15-20 minutes after the shooting, reports CNN.
Officers had responded to a brawl outside Finnigan's Grill in Thornwood, N.Y., according to Chief Louis Alagno of the Mount Pleasant (N.Y.) PD. Here's an excerpt of what ensued:
Officers were breaking up fights, police said, when "a vehicle parked in the fire lane" accelerated. A police officer tried to stop the vehicle, which Henry was driving, but its mirror struck the officer and the officer "ended up on the hood," said police.
Read the full story at CNN.com.
Morning Eagle @ 10/20/2010 8:23 AM
My sentiments exactly RR. It is so easy for self righteous reporters and others to sit in their safe places and criticize anything police officers do to protect themselves or others. And since when is it news that the friends and family of the poor innocent victim of police use of force that CNN and other bleeding hearts seem to be implying was excessive? We'll have to wait for the conclusions of the investigation which will hopefully be unbiased and beyond the reach of what public opinion THINKS happened based on news reports.

I definitely agree that I should be the one to do the merge. So at least twice already I have merged mainline into my tree and published the result. Ie, I agree with you. That's exactly what I want to happen. I'm very happy to do that merge again, if I have some assurance that it's not just wasted work. In fact, at this stage I don't even want any effort from Raphael and Guillem. All I want is permission. They have already granted me physical commit access but they have made it clear that they don't want me to merge my branch, or to commit freely, and that they will consider it abusive if I simply push a merged triggers branch. All I want is for Raphael or Guillem to say `oh all right then'. I will then merge mainline into my branch, do any conflict resolution necessary, and give it a quick test to make sure nothing seems to have been broken in the meantime. Then merging my branch back into mainline is, as you say, just a fast forward - so I will simply do that, and push the result. And really I would like Raphael and/or Guillem to simply confirm that I'm a full member of the team. > IOW, you have to merge master, preferably in a new branch than your > trigger-new one, like a master-pu-triggers or whatever, and if mainline > is pleased or can read that patch (that I'm sure isn't _that_ big) they > _then_ will be able to merge that branch that would just be a > fast-forward. The resulting patch is still big (3-4kloc of diff) because triggers is a big feature.

IME I can just merge from mainline into my branch, and it all works completely fine and I never need to do any rework. This is, after all, what a distributed vcs is for. Ian.

GSA Governance
Strategic Plan 2017-22
The purpose of this strategic plan is to provide three pillars for the current and future councils to build on over the next five years. The strategic plan should be reviewed annually to ensure the viability and efficacy of the pillars. It is expected that these three pillars will provide broad frameworks for councils to form their own operational goals on an annual basis.
The pillars are meant to provide some guidance and direction for the GSA Executive and Council; they are meant to inspire, challenge and encourage as the years progress. The pillars should provide the GSA Executive and Council with the basis for setting achievable operational goals.
It is imperative the Graduate Students' Association has systems, policies, and processes to ensure the long-term organizational and financial health of the association. The GSA council and executive will remain committed to actively seeking out and fostering new and innovative ways to keep the GSA sustainable for now and in the future. This will requires maintenance of existing structures and expanding and building new ways to promote that health. Sustainability also means actively diversifying sources of sponsorship and income, and creating a plan to continue to save for the financial future of the GSA.
The GSA will be committed to providing services, events, and information that will energize and engage all graduate students at the University of Lethbridge. The Council and executive must be committed to playing an active role in engaging with graduate students to find out what they need and require from their GSA. The GSA must pursue an active role in the recruitment and promotion of events and services and be willing to listen and learn from the students they are meant to be serving.
ab-GPAC Information
The Alberta Graduate Provincial Advocacy Council (ab-GPAC) is a student-led, non-partisan organization that advocates to the provincial government on behalf of over 17,000 graduate students that attend the four Comprehensive Academic and Research Institutions (CARIs) in Alberta: Athabasca University (AU), the University of Alberta (U of A), the University of Calgary (U of C) and the University of Lethbridge (U of L).
The University of Lethbridge GSA has played a key role in ab-GPAC ever since its incorporation in March of 2015. Since that time, the U of L GSA has collaborated with ab-GPAC on multiple advocacy efforts including the submission of position papers to the provincial government on the subjects of labour relations, tuition and fees, funding model, and more. Every year, ab-GPAC also collaborates with its members to submit provincial budget recommendations, and attends regular meetings with both the Ministry of Advanced Education and its undergraduate counterparts the Council of Alberta University Students (CAUS) and the Alberta Students' Executive Council (ASEC).
ab-GPAC works closely with its members to advocate for quality post-secondary graduate education and strives to improve the experience of graduate students in the province.
For more information on ab-GPAC, visit their websitewww.abgpac.org or contact firstname.lastname@example.com . You can also download the ab-GPAC Budget Submission file below.
The GSA must be, and remain committed to, constant and continuous advocacy for their graduate students. This advocacy must be at all levels of administration from individual faculties to school, to the university and upwards to all levels of municipal, provincial, and federal government. The GSA must actively be involved in the promotion of graduate student needs, and always be a voice for the collective with the administration of the institution and the province.

What our Customers
Say about Cool-Jams:
"Before I started wearing my Cool-jams p.j.'s, I could never sleep through the night without waking up completely soaked in sweat. It was common for me to change my p.j.'s several times per night. These pajamas are the best. I only wish I would have found them sooner!" - Gini H., Salt Lake City, UT
"My husband and I bought your pajamas to use while traveling. I bought the Jillian 3 piece pajama set. The jacket doubles as a bathrobe. They pack well, they are compact, don't wrinkle, dry fast if I need to wash them while on the road. I highly recommend Cool jams for travel. And I wear them at home too!" - Barbara C., Davis, CA
"The package arrived very quickly. Ill purchase more of these products from Cool-jams in the future. Recommend all to buy from this seller because the product is well made and very effective for keeping me cool at night." - Debra P., Shakopee, MN
"I have 2 pairs and have been recommending them to everyone I know with hot flashes! Unfortunately, I have already lost a pair (left at a hotel), so I'm replacing them. They are the BEST- you need to get the word out! I travel a lot and never leave home without them." - Valerie M., South Deerfield, MA
"Thank you very much for taking care of the order I placed for Mother's Day. I heard from my mother on Friday and she had already received the nightgown. She loves the fabric and your service was very quick. Thanks to you I am still her favorite child." - Lynda S., Orlando, FL

Very comfy2018-04-28
These pjs are the best. They do indeed wick away moisture and keep me comfortable all night. They are also just plain comfortable. Am ordering more. Heard about them from the Satellite Sisters podcast. Thanks, Sisters! And thanks, Cool-Jams.
I'm a repeat customer as the bottoms were starting to wear out on my first pair. This set seems to be a little different size (shorter in the rise on the bottoms) but they still fit just not as well. The wicking works well and keeps my comfortable all night. And they are discreet as well.

Comfort At Last!2018-04-09
Experiencing nightly hot flashes is not fun! My pyjamas were dripping wet which made me uncomfortable and cold. Cool Jams are a godsend keeping me dry and comfortable all night long. Love them!

Extremely comfortable; love the slightly lighter fabric and thinner waistband compared to the long PJs. The top flows very nicely, the pants are the perfect length.

Wonderful PJ Set2017-09-06
Lightweight, cool and comfy. The perfect PJ set for a great night's sleep. The Island color is really pretty and the fit is perfect.
PJ Set2017-07-17
I like Cool-jams but personally I prefer the wide band bottoms. These just have elastic waist and no drawstring.
Thanks for your comments. We produce lots of different styles. Some of our sets do include the wide band pant if you prefer that style. You can read the descriptions to understand the type of bottom included in each pj set. Sorry that this set did not include the bottoms that you like.

(MITCHELL) - Verizon Wireless wants to erect a cell phone tower in Mitchell's downtown area, but before allowing it, officials want residents to voice their opinions.
To leave a comment about the proposed cell phone tower, call the mayor's office at 849-5161.
Steve Qualley of Bloomington, who works as a site selector for Verizon, asked the plan commission that the current cell phone tower on the west side of Ind. 37 that provides service to the Mitchell area. But Verizon wants to add a second tower to increase capacity.
Qualley has proposed several sites from Eighth and Warren streets east to the Mitchell Police Department and south to the area of City Hall on Sixth Street. Verizon chose the city-owned land at Seventh Street and Mississippi Avenue. The area is used for the Mitchell Farmers' Market in the summer months and houses carnival rides during the Persimmon Festival.
If the city agrees to the deal, the company would need a 70-foot by 70-foot area, which would consume all of the grass area, but not stretch to the asphalt. The area would be fenced off with an 8-foot chain-link fence topped with barbed wire. Inside the fenced area, there would be a pre-fabricated building to house radio equipment and a back-up generator and a 165-foot tall tower with antennas.
Since the property is owned by the city, Verizon would enter into a 30-year lease with the city that would pay $900 a month. Every five years, the payment would increase 10 percent. Verizon would pay for the electricity and telephone fees associated with the tower.
Easement would also need to be granted on the east side of the fence with yellow lines painted on the asphalt to allow trucks in and out of the fenced-in area.
But officials had concerns about health effects of the radio waves emitted to the area, the disruption to the farmers' market and not having the area for the festival and the appearance of a tower in the downtown area.
The board agreed to wait to make a decision on the matter until its next meeting at 4 p.m. on Oct. 22. If the board approves the tower construction would begin in 2015.

Istanbul: The former head of Turkey`s armed forces, General Ilker Basbug, should be tried in the Supreme Court if he is charged with plotting to overthrow the government, his lawyer told said.
Lawyer Ilkay Sezer said late on Saturday that Basbug had worked in tandem with Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan`s AK Party government for seven years and he was stunned by the belated accusations against him.
"There has been no allegation of a crime until now, that is one and a half years following his retirement ... He says it is beyond his comprehension," Sezer said.
Sezer said any indictment should be framed by the Supreme Court of Appeals and the case heard by Turkey`s top court.
Basbug, military chief of staff from 2008-2010, was sent to Silivri prison, outside Istanbul, on Friday after an Istanbul court ordered he be remanded in custody while the prosecution completed its investigation and prepared formal charges.
Sezer said he was appealing against the custody order.
Military chiefs were once regarded as the most powerful men in Turkey after a series of coups in the late 20th century but since coming to power in 2002 Erdogan`s government has introduced reforms that considerably reduced the influence of the generals.
Although hundreds of officers have been detained over the past year suspected of involvement in alleged plots against the government, the action against Basbug stunned many Turks.
There were small pro-military protests in the cities of Bursa, Mersin and Afyon on Saturday, involving a couple of hundred people, according to newspaper reports. The protesters carried Turkish flags and banners that read "Not a submissive, but resistant Army" and "Army and people, hand in hand".
The secularist military has a history of tension with the AK due to the party`s Islamist roots, although the party shuns the Islamist label and describes itself as socially conservative.
The case against Basbug centers on websites spreading propaganda against Erdogan`s government that the military was accused of running until 2008. Several of Basbug`s subordinates have been indicted. No formal charges have yet been laid against Basbug.
The retired chief is also accused of leading a gang of anti-government conspirators.
The case is linked to Ergenekon, an alleged ultra-nationalist network police say they first unearthed in 2007. Hundreds of people have been jailed in the investigation, including journalists, academics, lawyers and military officers.
"We, and many jurists, claim that if there is a need for a separate indictment, this should be done by the Supreme Court of Appeals and if a trial is required, then it should be held by Supreme Council," Sezer said.
The Constitutional Court also functions as the Supreme Criminal Court to hear cases brought against the country`s highest officials for crimes related to their official duties.
One of Erdogan`s four deputy prime ministers, Bulent Arinc, said on Saturday he hoped the legal process would be speedy and distanced the government from the case.
"I hope the court process on Basbug is completed as soon as possible," Arinc said. "Nobody has the luxury to commit crimes in Turkey, and the judiciary is independent."

text: http://postmaster.info.aol.com/errors/554rlyir.html This is a serious problem. AOL have started a new kind of blocking where they will penalise hosts for sending to addresses at AOL that dont exist. This can be any kind of message including a bounce or undelivered report. So if you send an email to email@example.com and that address does not exist on their system, they will give your server a penalty point. If this happens regualarly, they will simply blacklist your server. Currently we have three servers blacklisted bay AOL for this reason. My issue with it is that I know for a fact that none of these servers are sending out spam or unsolicited mail. The problem must be with bounced mail. If a spammer sends a load of email with a faked header, pretending to be from a non existent AOL address (which happens alot), the bounce messages will be sent back to the reply address. Here is an example.... A spammer sends 1000 emails in a dictionary attack to a domain on one of our servers. The spoofed header shows a return address of firstname.lastname@example.com The addresses would be like this... email@example.com email@example.com firstname.lastname@example.com firstname.lastname@example.com firstname.lastname@example.com email@example.com etc etc None of those addresses exist but the spammer is bombing the domain trying to get a match. So, all the emails bounce back to firstname.lastname@example.com which of course doesnt exist. So AOL in their wisdom add penalty points to our server for sending to a non existent AOL address. Then within a week, we get blacklisted and none of our customers on that server can send email to AOL. This is the only reason I can think of for us being blacklisted - I have spent a long time looking at the servers and they simply are not sending out unsolicited mail. The whole this is a nightmare and I'm very upset about it. Especially as the AOL Postmaster can no longer be contacted 24hrs - we have to wait for the USA to get out of bed. Is anyone else experiencing this issue ?

This group carries the musical tradition of northeastern Brazil forward with a bit of rock 'n' roll spirit. Traditionally ignored by the rest of Brazil, northeastern music has always offered a high-spirited release for the hardscrabble rural folk trying to coax a living out of the dry landscape. In recent years, a younger generation of musicians has turned heads with the mangue beat movement, revitalizing old styles. Though the death of leading light Chico Science took the wind out of its sails somewhat, the movement has continued, under the radar. Proibido Cochilar starts off with some juiced-up traditional music, then moves a bit into jam-band spaciness. The album's last few cuts fuse contemporary and traditional sounds. "Batuque Para Duerte" takes a maracatú rhythm and funks it up, while "Espinhos" sounds like progressive rock. "Magistrado Ladrão" cruises on a skittering drum-and-bass groove, while "Zabe Sabe" starts with a snare drum and solo voice, slowly sliding into electronica. Cabruêra doesn't revolutionize northeastern music, but they add a great new chapter with an album that delivers consistently.

There is no other family in show business quite like the Bellsons.
Louis Paul Bellson (drummer, composer, arranger, big-band and combo leader, sideman) and Pearl Bailey (singer, comedienne, stage and movie actress, social and political activist, author of six books, recently graduated college student) were married in London on Nov. 19, 1952.
They have two children: Tony, 32, a drummer, and Dee Dee, 25, a group singer heard on recent albums by Weather Report and Wayne Shorter. For five years, the senior Bellsons have had a home in Lake Havasu, Ariz., and occasionally they get to see it, despite separate or sometimes interwoven traveling schedules.
In Pasadena recently for a concert, they looked back in contentment on their 33-year marriage.
"The key to our making it work," said Bellson, "is that on all of Pearl's dates she requires at least a quartet, so for about half of each year we're together. The rest of the time I may work with my band, but never for more than two weeks continuously.

text: (The following statement was released by the rating agency) Link to Fitch Ratings' Report: City of Chorzow - Rating Action Report here WARSAW/LONDON, November 24 (Fitch) Fitch Ratings has revised the Polish City of Chorzow's Outlook to Positive from Stable while affirming the city's Long-Term Foreign and Local Currency Issuer Default Ratings (IDRs) at 'BB+' and National Long-Term Rating at 'A-(pol)'. Today's rating action reflects our view that with the abortion of the plan for ring road construction the Chorzow's debt requirements will be much lower than expected. Consequently the city's forecasted debt stock and debt payback ratio would no longer be commensurate with the current ratings. If at the same time the city's fiscal performance would stabilise it could lead to a rating upgrade. KEY RATING DRIVERS The Outlook revision reflects the following rating drivers and their relative weights: HIGH We project the city's direct debt to grow to around PLN260 million by end-2020 from the PLN194 million expected at end-2017. Total debt by end-2020 would be significantly below our previous projections of PLN440 million as the city will no longer need to raise a large debt amount to finance the ring-road construction (city's share in the investment cost: PLN570 million). The project has been aborted as EU grants that were expected to cover at least 85% of the investment costs were not available. The projected debt growth is to finance capital expenditure. About 70%-80% of capital expenditure will be financed from capital revenue and from the current balance, with the remainder to be funded by a loan from the European Investment Bank. We expect capital expenditure to total up to PLN340 million in 2018-2020, or 15%-17% of Chorzow's total expenditure. Fitch expects debt should remain below 50% of current revenue by end-2020 (2017: estimated 35%) in contrast to the 80% projected previously and the payback ratio (debt-to-current balance) at eight to nine years in 2020 (2017: estimated seven years), compared with 16 years in our previous projections. Thus debt metrics will be more comparable to higher-rated local governments'. The city's cash balances are high for the current rating level as they have been in excess of the annual debt service (principal and interest) since 2014, which is a credit positive. We expect that the city will maintain sound cash balances over the medium term. Cash and liquid deposits in Chorzow's accounts averaged PLN13 million in January-September 2017. Combined with the accumulated cash from previous years (end-2016: PLN19.4 million) cash would exceed the annual debt service of about PLN14 million in 2017. In addition, Chorzow is considering repaying early around PLN10 million of its high interest-bearing debt this year, which would worsen its debt service ratio to 77% of operating balance in 2017 (45% without), compared with 35.5% in 2016. MEDIUM Fitch expects the city will maintain its operating margin at around 6% (2016: 5.5%) in the medium term. It translates into average operating balances of PLN35 million annually (2016: PLN29.4 million). In 2017, the operating balance may be lower due to additional current spending for education as result of the state reform. However, we assume the balance may exceed the PLN20 million expected by the city. Nevertheless the operating balance should cover debt service by at least 1.4x during 2017-2020, despite expected debt service growth to about PLN27 million in 2020 (2016: PLN10.4 million). The city's ratings also reflect the following key rating drivers: Chorzow's approach to budgeting is cautious, given inflexible current revenue and expenditure. The city has a low share of income taxes in operating revenue (24% in 2016), which makes it reliable on grants from the state budget (50%) that are mostly deployed to financing defined tasks. In addition, the local economy faces competition from the neighbouring City of Katowice (A-/Stable), the capital of the Slaskie Region, for potential investments. Chorzow is a small Polish city with around 110.000 inhabitants. Its unemployment rate at end-September 2017 was 6.3% (national: 6.8%) compared with 2.3% in Katowice. Data for gross regional product for Chorzow is not available. Gross regional product per capita in 2015 (latest available data) in the Katowicki sub-region where Chorzow is located was 35% above the national average. However, this ratio is fuelled mainly by Katowice and does not fully reflect Chorzow's economy. The latter's small size makes Chorzow's budget more vulnerable to negative economic shocks than other Polish cities rated by Fitch. RATING SENSITIVITIES The ratings could be upgraded if the city demonstrates on a sustained basis stable operating performance that covers annual debt service and translates into a payback ratio of below 10 years.
