By BERNIE BELLAN
I have to admit: Knowing Justice Rosalie Abella's reputation as a staunch (small "l") liberal, and someone who has long championed the judiciary's expanding the notion of "rights" in Canadian society, I was hesitant to ask her a question in which I was going to quote from a recent article by Conrad Black, in which he directly challenged the notion that our courts should be advancing rights.
I could tell by the nature of the overflow audience (over 400) that had gathered at the Adas Yeshurun-Herzlia Synagogue on Wednesday, November 23 to hear Abella that, if I valued my life, I wouldn't dare challenge the thesis that it is the judiciary's role to expand the notion of "rights" in Canada. This was definitely a small "l" liberal crowd, here to cheer on one of their heroes. All that was needed in order to make the evening complete was a crew from CBC to record Justice Rosalie Abella for a segment of its consistently liberal radio program, "Ideas".
In actual fact, I consider myself to be a wishy-washy sort of "small l"liberal as well, albeit a cynical one, who's quite willing to challenge accepted liberal dogma. And, it would have been great fun to hear Abella challenged when she spoke and hear how she would have parried questions that might have tried to poke holes in the notion that our judiciary has been expanding democracy in Canada - but I chickened out.
You see, Abella was not only extremely sharp and a fabulous speaker – both off the cuff and when she was reading from a lively speech that she delivered with panache, her sense of humour was good enough to qualify her as a stand-up comic. She could be self-deprecating, but incisive at the same time. I'm afraid I would have been carved up like a turkey (It was the eve of American Thanksgiving.) by someone as intellectually intimidating as Mme. Abella.
So, what did she have to say? After being introduced by Justice Freda Steel of Manitoba's Court of Appeal, who noted that both she and Rosalie Abella were the daughters of Holocaust survivors, Abella explained, in reference to being introduced by Freda Steel: "You've become the judge I like best because you make me feel tall." (In case you need to have that explained, it's a reference to both women being relatively short.)
Abella told the audience this version of how she happened to be in Winnipeg this particular evening: As it happened, she said, she was on the receiving end of a phone call from Winnipeg lawyer Mel Myers, who asked her whether he could have the cell number for her equally famous husband, Irving Abella.
When Rosalie Abella replied that Irving didn't like to give out his cell phone number, Myers said that he was trying to get a hold of Irving to see whether he might be available to be the guest speaker for the Jewish Heritage Centre of Western Canada on November 23rd.
Rosalie said that they would both in Winnipeg that particular day as Irving would be attending a dinner of the Royal Society of Canada the next day. According to Rosalie Abella, Myers said: "That's nice, but I'd still like to have Irving's number" - apparently completely overlooking the fact that Rosalie herself would be available to speak.
(It's a great story, but apparently totally untrue. We checked and found out that, in fact, it was Rosalie Abella herself that Mel Myers wanted to have as a guest speaker, not Irving Abella – and that she said she'd be glad to do that because the timing was perfect as she would be accompanying Irving to Winnipeg as his spouse to attend the Royal Society dinner. Still, her version of what happened is much funnier.)
Also, during Freda Steel's introduction of Abella, she made mention of the many years Abella had been active in the Canadian Friends of the Hebrew University. In response, Abella noted that "I used to have such a wonderful time (in the CFHU) until they fired me from the board!"
"Maybe it was because Gail Asper and I were always asking, 'Why don't you have more women on the board?' " Abella wondered.
Launching into her talk, which was titled "The role of the judiciary in a democracy", Abella proceed to give a penetrating overview of how the role of the judiciary has evolved in Canada – primarily since the issuing of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms in 1982. She wondered about "the extent to which we in Canada are going to be able to hold on to the democratic principles that unite us," suggesting that "the real judge is time".
Abella noted that she "was born in 1946". (She paused at that point, looked at the audience, and said – as if she were waiting for audience members to say: "You don't look it!")
In her lifetime, she observed, there have been so many advances in the concept of individual rights, saying: "I am positively ebullient about what has happened in Canada…How Canada made moral choices that made justice and democracy grow and grow."
"Legislatures across the country shone flashlights across the country, leading to a seismic change in what constitutes the Canadian majority – and who gets to join it."
There have been four primary avenues through which Canadians' understanding of what constitute rights have been expanded, Abella argued: human rights codes; indigenous rights; women's rights; and the welcoming of immigrants.
"With the Charter of Rights 35 years ago," Abella suggested, "a justice journey became a justice juggernaut."
Referring to the criticism emanating from conservative circles (including the aforementioned Mr. Black) that "rights should be distributed by legislatures", not the courts, Abella said, "What was odd for me was that, at its core, this was a complaint that the Charter created too many rights and too many freedoms…too much democracy...
"Democracy is enhanced, not created, by a strong judiciary – a mutually independent partnership between the legislature and the judiciary," she added
Tracing the evolution of rights beginning with the Magna Carta, Abella noted the divergent paths that the interpretations of rights have taken in the United States and Canada. Certain key decisions by the U.S. Supreme Court have played a fundamental role in the expansion of individual rights in that country, she said, beginning with a decision known as "Marbury v. Madison", in 1803, in which the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that "the judiciary has the right to invalidate legislative action."
In subsequent years, however, the American judiciary proved to be primarily interested in "protecting the status quo", which led to the repression, rather than the expansion of individual rights, as exemplified by the internment of Japanese citizens and McCarthyism.
Abella argued that critics of the courts who would accuse the judiciary of "activism" have been using that word as a "missile deployed against the judiciary today".
The landmark decision by the U.S. Supreme Court in "Brown v. The Board of Education", which outlawed segregation in the public school system, led to the "Western world revisiting the concept of rights", Abella said. "What pours oxygen into democratic veins is the protection of rights."
Yet, while some would say that "minorities seeking to reverse discrimination are called special interest groups" because the "rights of the majority are being trampled" and "courts are told not to 'interpret' law", those taking that position are, in fact, "defying the tradition of common law," Abella argued.
"Constitutionalized rights are the finest sign of a thriving democracy," she said. Quoting from famed American playwright Lilian Hellman, Abella said "I will not cut my conscience to fit this year's fashion."
"We have enhanced our democratic values by having judges who insure that law and justice never leave each other's sides as they patrol the Canadian landscape," Abella said eloquently. "We have carved out our own magnetic and uniquely illuminating vision…Where for others treating everyone the same is the dominating principle" (as in the American concept of equality, she explained), "for us, respecting differences is the dominating principle."
Canadians, Abella suggested, "are the most successful protectors of multiculturalism in the world." While she conceded that there are "still many failures" within our system of justice in Canada, including "aboriginal rights, access to justice" and other areas… "the transformation of Canada from a country that excluded people who were different to one that embraced them is justice at its best….When we trumpet justice we trumpet our moral core," she said.
In her concluding remarks, Abella said that "with knowledge comes wisdom; with wisdom comes understanding, and with understanding comes an appreciation of what it is to improve."
Following her speech, Abella fielded a variety of questions on topics ranging from multiculturalism to sexual orientation to judges not relying upon polls when making their decisions.
With reference to that subject, Abella observed that "judges don't take polls. We're the institution that has independence until we're 75." Acknowledging that some of her decisions have not been popular, she did say (with a smile), "but I like it better when I'm popular."
To this point I haven't noted that I had asked Justice Abella before she began speaking whether she had any problem with me covering her speech (Out of courtesy to any speaker who holds a publicly sensitive post I like to let them know that I'm there to cover their remarks. Occasionally someone might ask me to keep either part of their remarks or, on rare occasions – all of them, off the record.)
At one point, during the question and answer session, in response to a question about her having presided over a conference in 1992, Abella began to answer the question, recalling that conference. She said though: "Let me see, that conference was 25 years ago – I think. I can't do math – I'm a girl…Hello Julie Payette." (That was a good-natured dig at herself for uttering a remark that would no doubt infuriate our current governor-general: scientist and former astronaut Julie Payette.)
After Abella had concluded her speech and was speaking with well-wishers who had gathered around her, I approached her to take her picture (with Justice Freda Steel) and said to her: "I hope you don't mind if my story leads with: 'Supreme Court Justice Rosalie Abella says "I can't do math - I'm a girl." (I think she was amused. Maybe not. Can a judge still clamp someone in irons?)

The Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, has ordered herdsmen, under the aegis of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria, to expose criminals amongst them.
The monarch said this while regretting that Fulani herdsmen were being generally painted as criminals, which he maintained they were not.
He advised Nigerians to avoid ethnic profiling, maintaining that not all herdsmen were criminals.
He said "Nigerians should avoid ethnic profiling whenever a crime was committed, criminals have no tribal marks.
"MACBAN should liaise with the governors of Niger, Kogi, Nasarawa and Kano states who have indicated interest to allocate grazing reserves, with a view to developing them."
The ex governor stated this in a statement on Sunday in Minna, during a national executive council meeting of MACBAN.
The meeting was also attended by the Lamido of Adamawa, Muhammadu Barkindo Musdafa, Prof. Ango Abdullahi, Dr. Aliyu Tilde and other stakeholders.
In his remarks, the Zonal Chairman of the National Executive Committee, MACBAN, Alhaji Gidado Siddiki, noted that, "conflict between herdsmen and farmers has a long history; the solution has been to engage all stakeholders to find an amicable solution to the conflict."
He hailed the approaches of governors Willie Obiano and Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Anambra and Enugu states respectively, towards ending the farmers/herdsmen crisis.
"We commend Obiano and Ugwuanyi who have been able to effectively stem the recurring clashes between farmers and herders at a time their other peers and the Federal Government are at a loss on how to handle the clashes," he said.

1. Try some teflon tape on that thread (you ARE using a threaded cap, aren't you?).
2. If you fasten it with screws like in the picture above, it should stay put.
It also has less surface against the flame front, so it gets pushed with less force than your cap.

Art Monaco è lieta di celebrare il suo primo giubileo con la quinta edizione che avrà luogo dal 24 al 27 Aprile, dedicata all'arte moderna e contemporanea, presso il Grimaldi Forum di Monaco.
Sono più di 70 le gallerie che partecipano, provenienti da Germania, Armenia, Austria, Colombia, Cina, Polonia, Regno Unito, Svezia, Monaco, Russia, Repubblica Ceca, Belgio, Canada, Croazia, Spagna, Paesi Bassi, Libano, Estonia, Italia, Ucraina, Brasile, Stati Uniti, Israele, Svizzera e tanti altri.
From 27th to 30th March 2014, some 140 international galleries from 20 countries will come together at the Grand Palais in Paris to present a wide-ranging panorama of modern and contemporary art, including photography, design and art publications.
The selection of galleries for 2014 goes one step further towards confirming the event's new identity and direction adopted three years ago: a European fair that explores Eastern lands (Central Europe, Middle East and Asia.)
Alongside the galleries that came as part of last year's invitation to Russia as guest of honour, a number of galleries are coming in response to the invitation of China this year. Several Asian galleries are also joining such as Hua Gallery (London), Adler Subhashok Gallery (Bangkok) and 313 Art Project (Seoul).
Although Art Paris Art Fair is becoming increasingly international (50% of foreign galleries this year compared to 43% in 2013), the fair remains committed to supporting those who constitute its foundations in Europe and France where it is deeply anchored. Among the new participants are Feizi (Brussels), Ditesheim & Maffei Fine Art (Neuchâtel), Alessandro Bagnai (Florence) as well as Mario Mauroner (Vienna) who returns to the fair this year. Among the French, Camera Obscura, Bertrand and Grimont are returning while others are coming for the first time, including Françoise Besson (Lyon), In Camera (Paris), Françoise Livinec (Paris) and in the design section, Jousse (Paris), Armel Soyer (Paris) and NeC Design (Paris).

Kicking off the art fair circuit with its new time slot at the end of September, VIENNAFAIR relies on two key elements to make itself visible in the vast international art world: The longstanding ties between Vienna and emerging art and collector markets like the CEE and Middle East regions, and the intensified cultivation of relationships between galleries, collectors, and other important protagonists in the art scene. VIENNAFAIR will thereby respond to the growing public interest in regions that have immense and flourishing potential as they ascend from under the international art radar.

Kaplan ESL Teachers Vote to Join TNG-CWA
Kaplan's English-as-a-second-language teachers voted last week to join the Newspaper Guild of New York, becoming the company's first employees to unionize.
Employees voted to join TNG-CWA Local 31003 by a 56 to 28 margin, despite management's aggressive anti-union leafleting and mandatory meetings.
"These are professional employees, many with masters' degrees, who are paid at an assortment of illogical hourly rates as low as the $7.25 federal minimum wage," said Guild President Bill O'Meara. "They know they should be treated better and they deserve a lot of credit for maintaining their focus through Kaplan's incredibly intense campaign."
Kaplan is the educational subsidiary of The Washington Post Company. The ESL teachers first approached the Guild about organizing earlier this year, seeking help in raising their pay, getting paid time off for illness and vacation, among other issues.
"This is of course a great day for teachers at Kaplan," said Kaplan teacher Danny Valdes. "But I hope that this shows teachers that we can increase standards industry-wide by coming together to organize."
The National Labor Relations Board is expected to certify the Guild as the bargaining agent for the group of about 95 teachers this week.

Excerpt From The People, Yes
--Carl Sandburg
The people yes
The people will live on.
The learning and blundering people will live on.
They will be tricked and sold and again sold
And go back to the nourishing earth for rootholds,
The people so peculiar in renewal and comeback,
You can't laugh off their capacity to take it.
The mammoth rests between his cyclonic dramas.
The people so often sleepy, weary, enigmatic,
is a vast huddle with many units saying:
"I earn my living.
I make enough to get by
and it takes all my time.
If I had more time
I could do more for myself
and maybe for others.
I could read and study
and talk things over
and find out about things.
It takes time.
I wish I had the time."
The people is a tragic and comic two-face: hero and hoodlum: phantom and gorilla twisting to moan with a gargoyle mouth: "They buy me and sell me...it's a game...sometime I'll break loose..."
Once having marched
Over the margins of animal necessity,
Over the grim line of sheer subsistence
Then man came
To the deeper rituals of his bones,
To the lights lighter than any bones,
To the time for thinking things over,
To the dance, the song, the story,
Or the hours given over to dreaming,
Once having so marched.
Between the finite limitations of the five senses
and the endless yearnings of man for the beyond
the people hold to the humdrum bidding of work and food
while reaching out when it comes their way
for lights beyond the prison of the five senses,
for keepsakes lasting beyond any hunger or death.
This reaching is alive.
The panderers and liars have violated and smutted it.
Yet this reaching is alive yet
for lights and keepsakes.
The people know the salt of the sea
and the strength of the winds
lashing the corners of the earth.
The people take the earth
as a tomb of rest and a cradle of hope.
Who else speaks for the Family of Man?
They are in tune and step with constellations of universal law.
The people is a polychrome,
a spectrum and a prism
held in a moving monolith,
a console organ of changing themes,
a clavilux of color poems
wherein the sea offers fog
and the fog moves off in rain
and the labrador sunset shortens
to a nocturne of clear stars
serene over the shot spray
of northern lights.
The steel mill sky is alive.
The fire breaks white and zigzag
shot on a gun-metal gloaming.
Man is a long time coming.
Man will yet win.
Brother may yet line up with brother:
This old anvil laughs at many broken hammers.
There are men who can't be bought.
The fireborn are at home in fire.
The stars make no noise,
You can't hinder the wind from blowing.
Time is a great teacher.
Who can live without hope?
In the darkness with a great bundle of grief
the people
In the night, and overhead a shovel of stars for keeps, the people march:
"Where to? what next?"
Born in 1878 in Galesburg, Illinois, to Swedish immigrant parents, Carl Sandburg was one of seven children. He dropped out of school at the age of 13 to work and help support his family taking upon himself a series of jobs as a newsboy, porter, bootblack, water boy for horses, milkman, an ice cutter and janitor.
At the age of 19 in 1897, he headed west as a hobo on the rails and got as far as Pike's Peak before turning back. He did odd jobs, waited on tables and simply panhandled on this trip west and back. This period was a time during which Sandburg sharpened his interest in labor laws and the plight of working people.
In 1898, Sandburg joined the army to help fight the Spanish American War. He left for the war on July 25, 1898 but only got as far as Puerto Rico and saw no action.
In 1899, He received an appointment to West Point West Point for just two weeks, before failing a mathematics and grammar exam.
Carl Sandburg returned to Galesburg and qualified as a veteran for college admission despite his lack of a high school diploma. There, he enrolled in Lombard College, where he become editor of the college journal and yearbook and captain of the basketball team.
Lombard was founded by the Universalists. He tells of reading Universalist tracts and pamphlets in the attic of the chapel where he had a job as the school's bell-ringer. Although he never formally joined a Unitarian or Universalist congregation, Sandburg was delighted with the open and embracing Universalism he encountered at the college, a welcome relief from the strict Lutheranism of his youth and the street corner evangelists he encountered in his travels.
At Lombard, he took the courses that interested him and ignored graduation requirements. Perhaps, most importantly, at Lombard, Sandburg was encouraged by his favorite professor, Professor Philip Green Wright to begin writing poetry and prose in earnest.
In 1903, he left short of earning a degree and returned to riding the rails and - then back to Galesburg for a few years where he authored a small pamphlet with a press run of only fifty copies. His first booklets were published by Professor Philip Green Wright.
Sandburg worked at journalism with some success. During nearly five decades as a newspaperman, he was a local news reporter, an investigative reporter, a war correspondent, a movie critic, and a nationally syndicated columnist.
He moved to Chicago and on to Milwaukee where he helped organize the Social Democratic party and even served as secretary to the Mayor when the Social Democrat candidate won the election. At that time, he was working as a journalist and editor for a number of socialist newspapers.
In 1908, Sandburg met and married his wife Paula, a schoolteacher, a convert to socialism and a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the University of Chicago. When they married, they agreed that if either of them ever felt it was not working, they would simply dissolve the marriage. They enjoyed each other's company for nearly 60 years of marriage that included three daughters and later herds of champion goats, which Paula raised. They lived in Evanston, Illinois, before settling at 331 S. York Street in Elmhurst, Illinois, from 1919 to 1930.
Encouraged by his wife, Sandburg kept wrote poetry, most of it free verse. His first serious recognition as a poet came in 1914 when Harriet Monroe, editor of Poetry: A Magazine of Verse, published several of his poems in her magazine. Sandburg's first book. Chicago Poems, was published in 1916, and his last collection of poems, Honey and Salt, appeared in 1963, when he was 85.
Sandburg wrote three children's books in Elmhurst, Rootabaga Stories, in 1922, followed by Rootabaga Pigeons (1923), and Potato Face (1930). Sandburg also wrote Abraham Lincoln: The Prairie Years, a two-volume biography in 1926. He continued researching and writing Lincoln's life. The four-volume Abraham Lincoln: The War Years, published in 1939, won the Pulitzer Prize in history.
Sandburg wrote The American Songbag (1927), and a book of poems called Good Morning, America (1928) in Elmhurst.
Sandburg also became a popular platform performer, playing the guitar and singing American folk music, and reading his poetry and prose.
The family moved to Michigan in 1930. The Sandburg house at 331 W. York Street, Elmhurst was demolished and the site is now a parking lot.
Sandburg's Complete Poems (1950) contained all of his books of his poetry: Chicago Poems (1916), Cornhuskers (1918), Smoke and Steel (1920), Slabs of the Sunburnt West (1922), Good Morning, America (1928), and The People, Yes (1936). Complete Poems won him a second Pulitzer Prize in 1951.
In 1945 he moved to Connemara, a 246-acre rural estate in Flat Rock, North Carolina. Here he produced a little over a third of his total published work, and lived with his wife, daughters, and two grandchildren until dying of natural causes in 1967.
In September 1967, nearly 6,000 people gathered at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington for a national memorial tribute to the Poet of the People. On October 1, 1967, Carl Sandburg's ashes were buried at his Galesburg, Illinois, birthplace, now a state historic site.
Sandburg sized himself up in the preface to Complete Poems:
The People, Yes"All my life I have been trying to learn to read, to see and hear, and to write. At sixty-five I began my first novel, and the five years lacking a month I took to finish it, I was still traveling, still a seeker. . . . It could be, in the grace of God, I shall live to be eighty-nine, as did [the Japanese poet] Hokusai, and speaking my farewell to earthly scenes, I might paraphrase: 'If God had let me live five years longer I should have been a writer.'"
The People, Yes was published at the height of the Great Depression, Sandburg was inspired to write it for those hit hardest by unemployment and poverty. It is an epic poem, a 300 page work thoroughly interspersed with references to American culture, phrases, and stories (such as the legend of Paul Bunyan).
Sandburg was greatly influenced by folk speech and folk expression. He so accurately captured the common American in The People, Yes. The work lauds the perseverance of the these people in notably plain-spoken language. Through the content of the epic, it becomes evident that Sandburg felt work was man's greatest salvation.
Sandburg drew most of his inspiration from American history and was profoundly influenced by Walt Whitman. His verse is vigorous and impressionistic, written without regard for conventional meter and form, in language both simple and noble. Much of his poetry celebrates the beauty of
ordinary people and things.
When you read Sandburg, you experience the dust of America. It gets into your eyes, into your lungs, and even under your skin. That "dust" is both the land and the essence of the common people who still forge America. The dust, nourished by sweat and tears, is the common element of firmament and stars -- the wonder of creation. Man suffers as he works with it; he "marches" through his time on earth upon it. He looks to the distant loam of the universe to dream and to hope. And, eventually he even becomes one with it. "Where to? What next?" Indeed, the people, yes. Holy, holy, holy.

Newcourt is an area which has been identified as a potential sustainable urban extension to Exeter.
A Masterplan study has been commissioned for the area, which will provide detailed guidance for any subsequent planning applications. The Masterplan, which outlines the preferred usage of land and the overall approach to development in the area, is being prepared with the aim of providing for around 20 hectares of employment land and at least 3700 dwellings.
The aspirations for the Newcourt area includes the delivery of a mixed residential and employment area which the community can use, together with open spaces, green corridors and essential infrastructure. The development should be well integrated with surrounding development and form a sustainable urban extension to Exeter.
Above: Work underway on site at Newcourt.
The whole Newcourt area will have a strong regard to the principles of urban design so as to ensure an attractive and locally distinctive environment. High standards of landscaping will be expected and existing trees and important landscape features will be retained. A green space framework, comprising a range of linked formal and informal open spaces, will meet local sporting and recreational needs.
At the heart of this urban extension there should be a transport hub. The transport hub should ideally focus on a new rail halt on the Exeter to Exmouth line and should include a bus and rail interchange allowing direct links to the City and wider area. The high quality Public Transport Link being progressed by Devon County Council will form an important part of the transport infrastructure at Newcourt (new bridge to Newcourt pictured below).
Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) will be required to ensure the risk of flooding is minimised. At least 10% of the energy needs of the development should be provided through decentralised and renewable or low-carbon energy production methods. All options will be thoroughly researched.
The Newcourt area is the subject of various constraints all of which must be considered in bringing development forward and which will be thoroughly explored through the master planning process.

Two days after Christmas 200 school teachers in Salt Lake City, Utah, took a vacation day to take advantage of free training in the safe handling of firearms. Sponsored by the Utah Shooting Sports Council, the event usually attracts about 15 teachers. But more than 200 showed up this time, with many being turned away due to space limitations.
Clark Aposhian, head of the council, waived his usual $50 fee to honor the victims at Sandy Hook and to encourage participation by teachers who might face a similar threat in the future. Aposhian told NBC, "I genuinely felt depressed at how helpless those teachers were and those children were in Newton. It doesn't have to be that way."
His training gives teachers one more option in the event of a threat: "We're not suggesting that teachers roam the halls" in search of armed intruders. "They should lock down the classroom. But a gun is one more option if [a] shooter breaks into the classroom.... This is where having a firearm would be a better choice than diving in front of the bullets to protect the kids."
Upon completing the training, Kasey Hansen, a special ed teacher, told Reuters, "I feel like I would take a bullet for any student in the school." But, "if we should ever face a shooter like the one in Connecticut, I'm fully prepared to respond with my firearm."
In Ohio the Buckeye Firearms Foundation received more than 400 applications from teachers and staff for its intensive three-day tactical defense course. As in Utah, the foundation is waiving its fee for the training, usually $1,000. Instead, the fee will be paid for by the foundation. Said Jim Irvine, the foundation's president, told USA Today "What better use for an educational foundation than to help educators protect our children?"
In Broomfield, Colorado, a similar class sponsored by the Rocky Mountain Gun Owners (RMGO) was oversubscribed as well. Dudley Brown, RMGO's executive director, wrote that 300 teachers "braved snow … to attend the four hour course [which focused] on firearms safety and handling, and Colorado gun laws." Brown said,
Colorado teachers have been breaking down our doors to receive firearms training…
They don't want their students to be a victim of the next Adam Lanza [the Newtown, Connecticut shooter]…
Teachers in Florida, Ohio, Tennessee, and Texas have been flocking to similar classes, each based on the idea that an armed shooter might be neutralized more quickly before claiming victims who would otherwise be unarmed.
Proof that an armed citizenry, exercising its rights under the Second Amendment, actually reduces crime has been successfully and persuasively provided by John Lott in his massive study, More Guns, Less Crime. After collecting and analyzing data from across the country and over decades, Lott concluded that "all the results indicate that concealed-handgun laws reduce crime, and all the findings are statistically significant."
Such proofs are lost on those opposed to allowing teachers to carry concealed in their classrooms. In Colorado the law prohibits teachers, even those who may already have a concealed weapons permit, from bringing a firearm onto school grounds. Senate Bill 9, offered by two Republican state senators to allow local school boards to make their own decision on the matter, never made it out of committee. Despite support from the bill's co-sponsor State Senator Ted Harvey, whose wife is a teacher and whose children attend public schools, and State Senator Scott Renfroe, a former school board member, the Democrat-dominated Judiciary Committee voted it down 3-2.
Democrats opposed to the bill were concerned that teachers would end up shooting themselves, or that unruly kids in the classroom might take a teacher's firearm away and use it on his classmates. Others, such as Eileen McCarron, a retired teacher and president of the anti-gun group Colorado Ceasefire, told the Denver Post allowing teachers to carry concealed would "turn our school[s] into prisons [and] our teachers into prison guards."
And so the fight over sensible responses to threats in the classrooms and elsewhere continues. In the meantime, teachers are learning, in ever-increasing numbers, how to protect themselves and their charges from violence.

Positive Protesting with Children
This has been an active year for protestors! Some of you dusted off your protesting shoes and took to the streets before, during and after our invasion of Iraq. Others are environmental or animal rights activists and make it a regular part of your schedule to protest various atrocities (so many to choose from!). No matter which camp you're in, if you're a parent or guardian, at some point you probably asked yourself, "Should I take the kids?"
It's worth questioning the impact of street protests on children, since such events can involve both a learning experience in self-expression and a crash course in first-hand violence. Should children really tag along?
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) (www.peta.org) supports the involvement of children of all ages in animal rights work, even protests. PETA's Street Team Coordinator, Joel Bartlett, explains, "Children are often horrified when they learn about cruelties towards animals. They want to express their grief to other people. The innocent sadness that children express over animal cruelty is also very sobering to people who have become desensitized to the cruelty that surrounds them."
Alfred Kuba, Coordinator of Silicon Valley In Defense of Animals (www.idausa.org/index.shtml), reflects on the educational value of street protests. "Kids are not encouraged to question wrongs. That is why bringing children to protests shows them that they can express themselves and question anything they believe wrong. It develops their analytical and critical thinking."
So where's the debate? Protesting sounds like the best all-around experience for children. Pete Cohon, an Arbitrator and long-time animal rights activist, adamantly disagrees. He's witnessed too many eruptions of violence to make up for the good it could do for children. "There is no way of knowing how the objects of protests will react, or the police, or even some of the more militant protesters," he explains. "There is no way to predict if a demonstration will get out of hand and turn violent. My fellow protesters and I have had beer bottles thrown at us from a passing car. I've had people scream in my face in an effort to intimidate me. At some demonstrations things could get far worse."
Clearly, we can educate our children without purposefully exposing them to potentially violent situations. If you choose to bring your children to a protest, consider the following:
- Going to a protest with children is like going to a baseball game. You're committed to the cause, but you might not be able to stay for all the innings.
- Baby wearers: consider bringing a stroller along in addition to your sling. It'll help carry your stuff – and it's easy to poop out after a few straight hours of marching or standing and wearing a baby.
- Be prepared to not have a bathroom around – or to have a long wait for an available toilet.
- Do your companion animal a favor – leave him or her at home. They're even less likely than your child to understand what everyone's yelling about. It's a hypocritical shame to see a thirsty, frightened dog at an animal rights protest.
- Avoid bringing your children to protests that you know are going to be large or if you suspect protestors plan to get arrested.
- Wear comfortable shoes. Bring plenty of water and food. Do you have enough diapers?
Talk to your children before, during and after the protest. Ask them about their experience and how they're feeling, and observe their emotions aloud without judgment. Explain to them your political position and your stand, using language that instills hope. This is an opportunity for growth, both for children and adults.

A high-school student in New Zealand has invented an award-winning tool to prevent small shellfish from being killed by divers.
Diving for the shells of the edible abalone is legal in New Zealand, but they have to be 12.5cm long to be fished or they must be discarded, and levering them off the rocks for measuring means they often die anyway.
This needless waste inspired 18-year-old Mitchell Hollows, a keen diver, to invent his 'Koru Paua' tool. Paua is the Maori word for the mollusc (which has a mushroom-like taste) and koru means life or new growth.
Hollows used CAD design software and his school's (South Otago High School) 3D printer to create his prototype. The tool, which is still in development, works by being placed above the mollusc, then uses parallel lasers to harmlessly gauge its exact length.
His 'no-contact', low-cost invention certainly impressed the judges of the 2016 ASB Bright Sparks competition, which gave him a 'supreme innovator' award. In the future, Hollow's laser-tech solution could be used to prevent human interaction from damaging other forms of marine life.

Rear view of Mr. Oldfield's house at Maidapur
Artist: Anonymous
Medium: Watercolour
Date: 1795
Watercolour of the rear view of Mr. Oldfield's house at Maidapur in West Bengal, by an unknown artist working in the Murshidabad style, part of the Hyde Collection, c. 1790-1800. Inscribed on back in ink and pencil: 'South East or back view of Mr. Oldfield's House at Moidapore and Doctor Wilson's Bungalow near it.'
Christopher Oldfield was the Collector of Murshidabad from 1793-98, and a judge for the Court of Appeal from 1802 until he died in 1808. Company painting first emerged in Murshidabad in the second half of the 18th century. It is a style of miniature painting that developed in response to the tastes and influences of the British serving with the East India Company. The style subsequently spread to other British centres, the most notable being Patna, Benares (Varanasi), Delhi and Lucknow. This drawing shows a single storeyed thatched bungalow beyond and to the right of the Oldfield house, most likely belonging to Dr. Wilson. Dr. Wilson is possibly James Wilson, who worked in the area as Assistant Surgeon in 1781, Surgeon in 1793 and who died in Murshidabad in 1803.

anyway I chanced on this article on the gliffy blog on optimization for programmer time which led me to a recorded talk by Jonathon Blow on programming. It's an interesting talk, general enough to offer casual programmers useful nuggets of info and the anecdote on the asset loading in Doom (the video game) was like a blast to the past omg ...
stuff that I took away from the talk was that the
"industry average" for programmers is to generate ~ 3,250 lines of code / year
Optimization is not ALWAYS bad.
It is good when you are optimizing things that actually matter.
It is only bad when you are optimizing for the wrong thing.
Hence when you optimize for Speed and Space don't forget to optimize for "years of my lifeper program implementation (life) "
I am so guilty of this, fixating on how to 'efficiently' max out the nodes/cores of our shared cluster that I forget that I can actually use the time 'wasted' to continue on another side project/ catch up on emails / or even that coffee / toilet break I have been postphoning.
trying to see my time as a limited resource for which I need to fit everything within 3250 lines of code that I can generate in a year should be an interesting paradigm shift.
Jonathan makes the rather daring claim that "almost all applied CS research papers are bad" and "this isn't fooling anyone any more ... "
the reason for this is that the papers
propose adding a lot of complexity for a very marginal benefit
doesn't work in all cases (limited inputs, robustness) "supported" by bogus numbers, unfair comparisons
Hmm sounds like some papers I have seen lately ...
his list of criteria for someone he would like to hire is something that I feel should exist in all job descriptions :
- gets things done quickly
- gets things done robustly
- makes things simple
- finishes what he writes (for real)
- broad knowledge of advanced ideas and techniques (but only uses them when genuinely helpful)

Resilience. That is an interesting word to say. Resilience. To me, this word holds power and personal meaning. It even feels good in my mouth when I say this word out loud. Resilience. There is just something about this word that gives me strength when I feel I have nothing left to give.
According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, resilience means "the ability to become strong, healthy, or successful again after something bad happens". For someone who was not diagnosed with Autism until I was 36 years old, and who has experienced extensive medical and personal life trauma, I have had to have quite a bit of resilience over the years. I had no help or accommodations. I never had an advocate until very recently and I was never taught how to advocate for myself until I discovered my "voice". Writing is my "voice", and through the use of my "voice", I have been expressing the strengths of Autism over the last few weeks since April is Autism Acceptance Month or Autism Awareness Month depending on where you live.
I have written about hyper focusing, hyper awareness, and hyper memory. These traits are all strengths of Autism, but what about resiliency? Lots of people have resiliency, what does this have to do with Autism? In my last three posts about the strengths of Autism I have referred to the strengths as traits of an individual, but resiliency is something that researchers are not quite sure if it is a personality trait that you are born with or if it is something you learn over time.
"Some research suggests that resiliency is a personality trait and cannot so much be acquired or developed, but is merely something someone is born with. Other research, however, provides evidence that perhaps resiliency is a dynamic process, influenced heavily by environment, demographic shifts, and other factors. "- Contributed by Jen Wilson, GoodTherapy.org Correspondent.
Determination, perseverance, and just plain stubbornness combined with the belief that you can't give up is why I think I have the high level of resiliency that I have. Perhaps for me, resiliency is a personality trait. Perhaps it is something I was born with and has become even stronger over time, but is having resilience really a strength of Autism?
I have been to hell and back again more than once and more times than want to say. These times have been an emotionally, physically, and mentally draining tortuous ride, yet I keep trucking along. How do I keep going like I do? I have been asked this many times over the years and I really can't answer the question. I don't know how I can keep going like I do. All I know is that I just do.
Resilience has been described as a muscle, something that gets built up over time. The thought is the more hurt or shock or pain a person experiences at a younger age, the more resilient a person is later in life. I don't recommend this "stress inoculation", because this could unquestionably lead to a host of psychological problems and a greater risk of PTSD, but research has shown that there is some truth to this "muscle building" of resiliency.
Let's say that you are autistic and you are living in a world that is not designed for you. Let's say you were not born with a sensory filter and are bombarded by sensory input constantly. Your brain doesn't know what to ignore, so you notice everything that your senses detect. You experience pain every day from fluorescent lights and the ongoing noises of our busy society. You easily get overwhelmed by smells and tactile sensations.
Let's say you also have trouble communicating verbally in a way that people will understand you, because of this communication issue, you are perhaps seen as less than a person. You are seen as unintelligent because you communicate differently from the majority of the population. You are seen as "wrong" because you behave differently from what is considered socially acceptable. You are ignored and disregarded because you experience the world differently and react accordingly. Now let's say you have experienced life like this for as long as you can remember. If you weren't born with resiliency already, you end up having to build resilience just to survive in a world like this.
I know so many autistic individuals that have developed amazing resiliency. They have had to. Yet, this amazing ability seems to go unnoticed by so many. We understand what is being said about us, even if certain people do not notice that we are listening to their every word. We can read and understand what is being written about us, even though we might not be able to verbally prove this to certain people's satisfaction. Resilience. We deal with a lot. Many of us crumble under the weight of the stress at some point in our lives, but many of us climb out of that rubble and continue on. That is what resilience is, the ability to keep moving forward despite adversity.
I am an autistic adult and have come so far since I was diagnosed two years ago, but my journey is far from complete and I hope it never ends. There is a saying that a person grows old when they stop learning. I am still growing as a person, still learning, still developing. I may be developmentally delayed, but that hasn't stopped me from growing as a person. It just may take me longer to reach certain milestones in life.
Resilience – "the ability to become strong, healthy, or successful again after something bad happens". Lately, bad things seem to keep happening to me, but I pick myself up and keep moving forward. You cannot point to a place in my brain and say that is where the Autism is. Autism is interwoven into everything I am, including my resilience. This is me and all of this are the strengths of Autism.

Thanksgiving Chocolate Turkey Cookies
November 20, 2009
Bake adorable Thanksgiving cookies with this tried and true recipe,
compliments of Elizabeth W. Gift Baskets.
Happy entertaining!
I put chocolate cookie dough mix in some of my baking gift baskets, but if you'd like to make your cookies from scratch, here's my tried and true recipe. Everyone loves cookies, so they make the perfect addition to your Thanksgiving dessert selection. Bag some up in small cellophane bags and tie with ribbon to hand out to your guests as party favors.
1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, softened
½ cup packed light brown sugar
½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 large egg, at room temperature
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled
½ teaspoon baking powder
2 cups all-purpose flour
- In a large mixer bowl, beat the butter, sugar, and vanilla with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, then the chocolate and baking powder. With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the flour, beating until just blended.
- Pat the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill until firm enough to roll out, at least 1 hour or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and have ready 2 ungreased cookie sheets. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface with a floured rolling pin to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut out shapes with cookie cutters. Add sprinkles, if desired.
- Place 2 inches apart on cookie sheets. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until cookies feel firm. Let cool in the pan for 2 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.

Hello , it's Thanksgiving Day! I'm enjoying my extra day off, and I am planning to make something fun that'll probably involve a car trip and seeing something new in Jefferson I haven't seen yet.
You write new post at Thanksgiving?

In July, three of my Drabbles will be published in an on-line e-zine called Specklit (http://specklit.com). They are taxing, yet fun to write and really hone your editing skills.
So what is a Drabble?
It's a hundred word story- exactly 100 words in my case. The form is very popular in the Science Fiction genre but the subject can be anything you like.
Where did the term come from?
The term was first coined in Monty Python's, Big Red Book. 'Drabble' was described as a word game in which the first contestant to complete a novel was the winner. When the game was transferred from the page to the real world, it was decided that 100 words was sufficient in order to play.
What are the rules of a Drabble?
'One hundred words' must be EXACTLY one hundred words: not a syllable more, not a letter less. In addition, up to fifteen words (title, sub-titles and the like) are allowed. Hyphenated-words-are-argued-about." David B Wake.
Even though the story is only 100 words, it needs structure. Like a Haiku, the best Drabbles have a twist at the end. The best way to approach writing a Drabble is to write a longer story, with the usual beginning, middle and end and pare it down (with a cleaver rather than a filleting knife). And finally, invest in (or bookmark) a thesaurus. It will help you to reduce your word count and yet allow you to say so much more.
Story ideas
1 Take a fairy tale and a childhood game and combine them.
2 Write about an object that does something it isn't supposed to.
3 Use the idea that you are running out of time (apocalypse/race to the moon/hunger games etc)
4 Start with a 'do not disturb sign' and disturb them.
5 Pick three random words from the novel you are reading and use this as a prompt.

photocathodes in photoinjector
Advanced electron injectors are based on photocathode electron guns. These guns can produces electron beams with short pulses and high brightness. At the beginning the progress in photo-injector development has been mainly driven by FEL applications. But now photo-injector is the electron source of choice for future linear colliders, high-power FELs, linear accelerators with energy recovery, fourth generation light sources, injectors for laser-driven plasma wake field accelerators, or low-energy electron linacs for applied research.
For all the different photo-injector systems the photocathodes play a key role. In strong connection with the laser system the choice of the optimum cathode type and its further improvement is a main issue for the progress in photo-injectors. In this website an overview of the existing knowledge of photo cathodes for rf photoelectron injectors is given and the status of the research and development of the CARE/JRA2 project is presented.
|The SRF-gun works in the ultra high vacuum, which does benefit to the operator lifetime of the photocathode. But it also has rigorous requirements for the cathode.

- 2018 election
For the second period in a row, Rep. Dana Rohrabacher's fundraising has lagged behind that of his Democratic challengers in the hotly contested race for his 48th Congressional District.
The 15-term Republican reported raising $271,969 in the last three months of 2017 and ended the year with $713,144 cash on hand.
That's significantly less than opponents Hans Keirstead and Harley Rouda, both Democrats, have reported raising. But much of the money raised by Rohrabacher's challengers has come from their personal wealth.

Democratic challenger Katie Hill narrowly out-raised Republican Rep. Steve Knight in the last three months of 2017, with another Democrat close on her heels in fundraising for the Antelope Valley area district.
Hill reported raising $252,351 in the final months of the year, positioning her to start 2018 with $382,848 in the bank.
Second-term lawmaker Knight, of Palmdale, lagged slightly behind, raising $240,244. He has an existing war chest from previous campaigns and still holds a fairly large lead with $794,748 in cash on hand.

- Governor's race
Democratic candidate for California governor Gavin Newsom leads the field in campaign fundraising — by a wide margin.
The lieutenant governor started the year with more than $16 million socked away in his campaign war chest, compared to just under $6 million each for his top two Democratic rivals, former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and state Treasurer John Chiang.
Those figures were made public on Wednesday when state candidates were required to file their campaign reports for the second half of 2017.

- California Legislature
More than $1 million was spent lobbying last year on failed legislation that would have fast-tracked construction of a new Clippers arena in Inglewood, according to state lobbying disclosures released this week.
The legislation, Senate Bill 789 from Sen. Steven Bradford (D-Gardena), would have carved out exemptions from the California Environmental Quality Act, or CEQA, for the arena and related projects in Inglewood. CEQA requires developers to disclose and reduce the environmental effects of their projects, and CEQA lawsuits often tie up or kill proposals. The bill originally included similar exemptions benefiting Los Angeles' 2028 Olympics bid, but organizers balked and Bradford removed the language.
Madison Square Garden Co., which owns Inglewood's Forum and would compete with the new Clippers arena, spent more than $750,000 to lobby against the bill. Lobbyist Mercury Public Affairs and law firm Latham & Watkins were the largest recipients of the money. SB 789 stalled in an Assembly committee a week after it was introduced in September.

Republican Rep. David Valadao of Hanford, Calif., raised 10 times as much as his Democratic opponent last quarter, despite representing a district that backed Hillary Clinton for president in 2016, and where Democrats have a voter registration advantage.
It's the third lackluster fundraising quarter in a row for Democratic challenger Emilio Huerta, the son of labor rights icon Dolores Huerta. He is the only announced challenger to the three-term congressman in the 21st Congressional District in the San Joaquin Valley.
The fundraising gulf stands out among the other high-profile races where five California incumbents were out-raised by Democratic opponents in the last three months of 2017.

- State government
Cars and trucks are the largest source of California's greenhouse gas emissions. Essential to meeting the state's ambitious climate change goals, academics and other researchers have said, is to reduce the number of cars on the road by building new homes in already populated areas near jobs and transit.
Environmental groups have different perspectives on linking the cause of climate change to housing. On this week's "Gimme Shelter: The California Housing Crisis Pod," we dig deep into the intersections between environmentalism and development and focus on reaction to a proposal from Sen. Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco).
Wiener's legislation, Senate Bill 827, would allow for a dramatic increase in housing development near major transit stops. But the Sierra Club California opposes the measure, arguing, among other reasons, that it would make it harder to build new transit and increase displacement of low-income residents. Ethan Elkind, director of the Climate Program at the UC Berkeley School of Law, joins the podcast and argues against the Sierra Club's position and talks broadly about the environmental effects of growth.

One of Rep. Devin Nunes' opponents says he's raking in donations thanks to the controversy about the House Select Intelligence Committee chairman's very public push to release a controversial memo related to the Russia investigation.
Fresno County Deputy Dist. Atty. Andrew Janz, a Democrat, said that as of Wednesday night he had brought in a little over $65,000 over the last seven days while the memo has been in the news. That $65,000 is more than half as much as Janz reported raising in the previous three months.
"Congressman Nunes has given me the best gift a first-time candidate with almost no name recognition can receive, he has made himself the poster boy for what's wrong with Congress and put a national target on his back," Janz said in a statement.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi says fellow Californian Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Tulare) should lose the chairmanship of the powerful House Intelligence Committee over his handling of the Russia investigation and a memo Republicans say discredits the FBI's role in a separate investigation.
Pelosi (D-San Francisco) said in a letter to House Speaker Paul Ryan that Nunes' insistence on making the memo public over the FBI and Justice Department's objections that it is inaccurate and contains classified information is putting the House of Representatives' integrity at stake.

- California in Congress
California House Reps. Devin Nunes and Adam Schiff have been at public odds since shortly after the House Intelligence Committee launched its investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
As the ranking Democrat on the committee, Schiff last year called for Nunes, the Republican committee chairman, to recuse himself from the investigation following a fracas over Nunes' bizarre late-night trip to the White House to view classified documents he said were related to the investigation.
For the last few weeks, the two have been stars of a dramatic national sideshow over whether to release a classified memo compiled by Nunes that is thought to make further claims about secret surveillance of the Trump campaign.

Wonderful White Wednesday, tagalicious Tag Tuesday and marvellous Every Inchie Monday
Anyhoo, on to the wonderful Blissful Whites Wednesday linky party. While I was making tags the other day, I thought why not do something a little more exciting and alter a little box? So I did, and here it is -
It was very satisfying turning a humble little box into something a little bit more appealing.
Tag Tuesday, and we are up to the letter W. I almost picked WHITE, then decided on WINGS, and had a beautiful Victorian angel with the prettiest wings in mind. And then I ended up with...... Her! WANDA! Wanda, the WINGED messenger. Yes, you read it right, lol, not Hermes the winged messenger, but Wanda. She, errmmm, is his apprentice. Sort of..........
Feisty young lady she is.
Did I show you last week's tag? Nope, didn't, did I? Letter V, and I picked the Merchant of VENICE for that tag -
Last week's inchie theme was TABLE -
A matchstick for the legs, a scrap of Le Rustique cheese paper for the tablecloth and a badly drawn cup of tea and vase of flowers was all I could get onto the inchie. I was going to draw a cat curled up under the table, but decided that my drawing skills really weren't up to that ;-).
This week's inchie challenge is bed, and boohoo, I haven't made it yet, bad me. Will do so today though.
Almost time to take the doggies for their walk in the Firehills, so toodlepip for now xxx
Love Whites? Then check out all the other wonderful Bissful Whites Wednesday post over at the TIMEWASHED blog. Thank you, Becky, for hosting this much loved party.
