About.com Rating: 5/5
Excerpt: Fans will enjoy seeing Barbaro rolling in his round pen, galloping in the mornings with Peter Brette aboard, and grazing after a job well done, and then feel the roller coaster of emotions during his time at New Bolton. The photo essay served as an excellent break in the text, separating the biography from the legacy.
Excerpt: a fascinating and moving account of a short but brilliant life. His in-depth interview with the horse's connections - led by owners Roy and Gretchen Jackson - and the medical team that fought so hard to save Barbaro, make this a must-read for all horse racing fans.
Horse-Races.Net Rating: 5/5
Excerpt: Alex Brown left no stone unturned when researching and writing this book. Fans of horse racing will enjoy this look back at a tremendous racehorse on the track, who almost beat the odds to survive an injury which usually results in immediate euthanasia. The story and the photo essay will truly bring everything back into focus as if it happened yesterday, as 2006 is a racing year that few will ever forget. Although Barbaro ultimately did not survive, he left a legacy that no Triple Crown winner could have matched. This is a most fitting tribute to Barbaro but also to his owners Roy and Gretchen Jackson, trainer Michael Matz, assistant Peter Brette, jockey Edgar Prado, surgeon Dr. Dean Richardson, and everybody else who played a role in this great horse's life. Brown's work belongs in every horse fan's personal library, as Barbaro's reach goes beyond the world of racing.
Excerpt: The result is a truly breathtaking coffee table book with considerably more depth than the usual all pictures and no substance often produced in the genre. It is a beautifully produced product that shows the depth of commitment poured into it by Brown.
Excerpt: A nostalgic coffee-table read, Brown's Greatness and Goodness: Barbaro And His Legacy is an insightful tale for the seasoned horseplayer to the newest member of the horse racing generation.
Excerpt: Barbaro's story is inspiring, valiant, and heartwarming. I hope he will touch you as he has me.
Excerpt: With 164 color photos, this is a book any racing fan would enjoy.
Excerpt: Bottom Line: Be inspired by Barbaro 4 Rosettes

WHSmith Kobo Touch wireless e-book reader
Has the Kindle met its match?
Review The joys of the e-book reader are considerable. You can carry a thousand books in your pocket and download more in a matter of seconds while you're sitting in the garden – assuming the Wi-Fi stretches or you have a 3G model. If there are words you don't recognise, you can look them up with one touch too. And in the case of dedicated readers like the Amazon Kindle and the Kobo, E Ink is as readable in bright sunlight as the printed page. Wonderful.
Pocketable and wireless too: WHSmith's Kobo Touch e-book reader
On the other hand, these devices lack the physical relationship a book offers: I can feel I'm three quarters through a novel by what my hands tell me – I don't even have to look. This physical feedback is much better than a progress bar at the bottom of the screen. And for me, it's easier to remember where I saw something in a book. At the bottom of a left-hand page near the beginning, wasn't it? Ah yes, there it is.
There's one other thing: when I turn a page in a book, it doesn't flash from black to white in that ghastly way E Ink does. Although some ebook readers, including this one, make that flashing less frequent. I'll come to that in a moment. The Kobo Touch is almost identical in size to the newly released Amazon Kindle 4 Reg Hardware reviewed recently.
It's a fraction thicker, by a mere 1.3mm, and a hair shorter but they both sport the same 6in E Ink pearl screen. However, despite looking identical in use, only the Kobo has a touchscreen. So there are no buttons on the Kobo apart from a power slider on the top edge and a home button on the front. As well as feeling thicker in the hand, the quilted back is different, and its matt finish means it feels pleasingly non-slip as you hold it.
The quilted back comes in a range of colours with a white front or just all black. It looks good, and the white version appears fresher than the latest Kindle, especially as there's only the home button on the front. Also, the Kobo's slider power switch is less susceptible to accidental activation than the Kindle's bottom-edge power button.
The quilted effect on the back looks like a bit like a mattress
The Kindle has a direction pad to activate the virtual keyboard. On the Kobo you tap on the screen. The on-screen keyboard is efficient, but, boy, is it slow. If you're putting in your credit card details to buy a book, it's worth entering this on your PC or Mac first to save some time. Buying books is straightforward. If you do this on the Kobo website, it's automatically downloaded to the device as quickly as on a Kindle, that is under a minute. Incidentally, buying e-books from the WHSmith website, will redirect you to the KoboBooks store.

W H Smith is going to pay dearly for this! Steve Jobs invented touchscreens, and gestures! And language!
You can run, Smith, but you can't hide from the US Patent Office!
You need to "install an application on your computer to register the thing"?
That is totally stupid. Congratulations on getting it to work with WINE, but you should have returned the thing out of principle.
What inspired me to buy a Kindle was these words on Amazon's web site:
"System Requirements : None, because it's wireless and doesn't require a computer."
That is how a tablet or e-book reader ought to work. Why do so many companies fail so utterly to achieve this? Even Apple iPad users are expected to install iTunes on a computer running an approved OS. Idiots, idiots.
The reader everyone has been waiting for?
You betcha. I have a Sony PRS-650 and won't be updating (it offers me nothing, as it uses the same 6in e-ink Perl and touchscreen, just no Wifi).
However for new to e-book consumers, this beats the Amazon hands down. It supports EPUB, which means you aren't locked into any proprietary stores like the Kindle, does everything the Kindle does, and even reads the Kindle format (MOBI), so you can un-DRM your kindle books and read them on here.
What I don't get, is it scored the same as the new Kindle, despite being better in that it's not locked to a single content supplier. Surely that deserves another 5% In my world it does...
RE: Kindle is not locked in
A couple of people have stated the Kindle is not a lock-in, but in both cases have cited how easy it is to get other formats ON to the Kindle.
That's not dealing with lock-IN but lock-OUT and, fair enough, they are right on that basis.
The lock-IN is true though. Buy from Amazon, which you do if you buy from on the Kindle device itself, and the book you get will work on all Amazon devices and in all Amazon reader software. That's it. And that IS lock-in.
There's talk of Calibre and, true enough, it converts formats. Unless you want to crack the DRM though you still won't get your Amazon-bought ebook onto a Sony, Nook or Kobo. That's lock-in.
I'm against proprietary as much as anyone
But I have to dispel the myth that the Kindle is somehow 'locked in'. You can download Calibre and convert pretty much any ebook format to one that the Kindle will read. You don't have to go through proprietary software, such as the dreaded iTunes to transfer files to or from it, plug it into your PC and it shows up as an external drive. It is a bit of a pain that it doesn't natively support epub, but it is by no means an insurmountable obstacle.

Episode Sneak Preview
In retaliation for the Charmed writers' alleged break-in of my car to look at my blurb notebook last month (see the "Apocalypse Not" recap), I flew to Los Angeles while on vacation and did some digging in the Writers Department at Spelling Productions. Because I'm petty like that.
Well, I lucked out and found synopses of the first seven episodes of Season Three, which I'm providing here along with my presumptuous pre-recaplets. Because I'm industrious like that.
Episode 301: Goddess Almighty
Preview release to TV Guide:
Season Premiere. Leo the angel transports his girlfriend Piper heavenward to meet his otherworldly boss, but she becomes jealous when God greets them in the form of a beautiful young woman (guest star Tori Spelling). In their sister's absence, Prue and Phoebe must fend for themselves when they fear that the new tenant next door (Ron Eldard) is a demon.
Recaplet: The Powers That Bleat
The third season began with an ep that's sure to confirm one's faith in atheism, if not convert the masses. Yes, TORI SPELLING played God. Owen was rushed to the emergency room afterwards to have his pearls surgically removed from his hand. Anyway, the viewers followed Piper and Leo up to heaven, which looked just like the L.A. soundstage, only hazier, where Piper got her bitch on because Leo's been working for such a heavenly babe. God/Tori finally admitted she is just a wee bit fallible, and she and Piper bonded. Whatever. Meanwhile, Prue and Phoebe modeled this fall's most god-awful outfits while ripping off Rear Window in a subplot about the suspicious yuppie who'd moved into Gordon Manor. After much Nancy Drew hijinx, the callous and lazy Ps vanquished him all by their lonesomes, the implied threat of another Dan character was averted, and the sisters eventually reunited for more witchy adventures.
Episode 302: One Small Thing
Preview release to TV Guide:
On the eve of Prue's celebration for shooting her first cover for 415 magazine, she is cursed by a warlock (Jason Bateman) and shrunk to a height of five inches. Meanwhile, Piper worries about Leo possibly popping the question, and Phoebe regrets casting a spell that thwarts the advances of an overly amorous classmate (Brad Rowe). Special musical guest: Seal.

Did you dig How Did This Happen?, the Booth-sponsored debut set by Portland duo Moxie Black? Then you Better not sleep on the latest solo project from iLLA, the vocal half of the rapper/producer duo. The first leak off the artist's forthcoming "FreEP" is a decidedly chill affair, with Young Asap's head-noddably mellow synth-bell boardwork setting the stage for a little soulful stunting from the Northwestern up-and-comer. Using Wu-Tang classic C.R.E.A.M. as a creative springboard, the emcee adresses a special lady, explaining that, though his silver spoon-free upbringing has made him protective of his bankroll, he's perfectly willing to "blow some gwop" on anything that'll make her happy – whether it's a tropical vacation or a name-brand accessory, she need only ask and it's hers. Money can't buy you Booth approval but, with more high-quality tunes, iLLA has every chance of earning a special place in readers' hearts and iPods. But enough from me – what do you think? Those craving more should keep it locked for the latest on the artist's Booth-sponsored iLLA freEP, set to hit our mixtape page in early 2011.

Katrina, Citizenship and Federalism
by Barbara Allen, Professor of Political Science
After hearing that the City of New Orleans didn't have an adequate evacuation plan, I found the plan on the City of New Orleans website and read it. My first thought was that it didn't sound unreasonable, so I wondered, "What sorts of plans do cities usually have?" In addition to the New Orleans plan, I looked at the emergency preparedness plans for Minneapolis, and St. Paul. I was surprised at how similar they were, and what they said about our understanding of citizenship.
In all three cases primary emphasis is placed on individual planning—having sufficient supplies of water and canned goods—and in the New Orleans case, much discussion of a "support network," a.k.a. the "buddy system." To some extent this makes sense. Chances that authority can get to you in some sorts of disasters may be very limited; in a crisis situation there's incredible uncertainty of all sorts. So there's an emphasis on voluntarism and a subtext of personal responsibility and leadership: Take control of your situation to the best of your ability and help others.
One can look at the way things unfolded—and there are aspects of the evacuation that anyone can see went wrong—and feel very cynical about the buddy system. But all the plans reflected familiar features of American political culture—self-help, ingenuity, and voluntarism. Of course, they also assume that people will be connected. In an urban area, however, there's a tension between a desire for anonymity, being able to come and go as one pleases—an American sense of liberty on one hand—and the necessity of having people know whether you're safe. So people make choices within this range of privacy and connection, thinking about how comfortable it is to have the neighbors paying attention to their comings and goings. The emergency preparedness plans give suggest what kind of citizen planners are imagining.
The next question, though, is what we do once the "buddies" are gathered together. What if we don't have a boat or a car? Of course, we saw instances of resourcefulness and ingenuity, but there is a serious question about how much of a plan can be based on improvisational self-organization. When I read about looting grocery stores I did wonder if one analyst's "looting" might not be another analyst's "self-reliance." As it turned out, the actual New Orleans plan not only depended on people being able to get to some provisional site, but also to evacuate the city. The part of the plan dealing with evacuation, not surprisingly, explains traffic flows on interstates, but offers little specific information about what to do if you reach public facilities like the Superdome or Convention Center. It's unclear how citizens were to get information or what the mayor and FEMA are supposed to do. So, we find a detailed list concerning personal plans and less focus on public roles.
The discussion of evacuation plans for people with disabilities also raised questions about the plan and the people who would enact it. There is mention of taking stock of one's situation on an "enclosed form." Were surveys sent out to households? Were they to be returned to the city? That would suggest a level of organization beyond the buddy system and a relationship between planners in city government and the people the plan is being drawn up for. Or, were the forms to be given to the "support system?" What were the expectations of persons with disabilities if they'd filled out the form? There's also a whole section on what to do with your pet. The advice was send your pet to a relative or friend on higher ground; send your pet to a hotel, if it accepts pets; or leave your pet in the highest part of the home, unleashed, but contained. Basically, the message is: Forget your pet. Of course we shouldn't put German shepherds in lifeboats instead of people, but what of the reality that people are attached to their pets? During the calm—the eye of the hurricane—people apparently went back to get their pets, and then were stranded and drowned. Dead pets are now part of the enormous pollution problem. These are things I had never thought about, and that is the whole point here. You need to plan for real people based on actual information about their lives.
Overall, though, the plans were based on very similar assumptions about self-reliance and cooperation, and if I'd read them in August, I might have thought them more or less reasonable. I would never have predicted the situation at the Dome or the Convention Center. So here is a real puzzle in institutional breakdown. And I'm not sure we are yet seeing an adequate inquiry or diagnosis of that failure.
Part of the inquiry has involved evaluating federalism. We're hearing a lot of talk of local inadequacies and the need for greater national command and control. I think this is a mistake. First, I'd suggest that "federalism" does not simply mean that national government devolves authority to lower levels, but can always take it up again—administrative decentralization is not federalism. A federal system properly speaking is uncentralized, with multiple centers of power or concurrent regimes and jurisdictional authority; it's polycentricity. Such a structure includes citizens individually as units of authority who are able to hold citizen-officials accountable. This matrix of various types of authority also includes voluntary associations, and governments themselves take an associational form. The system is one of limited, distributed, and most importantly, shared constitutional authority. We should think in terms of larger and smaller arenas of action, not greater or lesser powers. Where powers are shared, we may expect contestation—the point is to make the contestation productive.
So, we evaluate a federal union's strength by the relationships among the parts, not by the concentration of power in any one part. In an analysis of institutional failures, we shouldn't think any of these parts is "the" problem, or view failures as availing themselves of only one solution. I find it incredible when people, after laying out how the government in Washington didn't pay attention to the predictions about the city's vulnerability, and pointing out all of the errors of various federal agencies, suggest a more centralized government response. If there's corruption in New Orleans politics, do I think there's none in Washington? One newspaper column used Hurricane Katrina as an occasion to show the importance of government. Unfortunately the author focused primarily on the issue of security—restoring law and order—and evoked the imagery of Thomas Hobbes's Leviathan in describing "the" government solution. One wonders: Which part of the Washington response merits absolute power?
Leviathan as metaphor (in contrast to the actual book) is a poor place to turn for solutions. This and other misleading depictions of events limit our understanding. Thinking about an actual assessment is more critical and more difficult than assuming that bigger is better—or, for that matter, that small is beautiful. But there's not a lot of political gain in taking time to study a cascade of errors as may have occurred in New Orleans. It is not only that we accept simple answers. People understandably want houses up, they want money for reconstruction. There are immediate needs and there is also the critical need for diagnostic assessments.
In the end, self-government depends on people solving some shared problems directly by their own initiative and, when compulsory associations (governments, in contrast to voluntary associations) are involved, holding officials accountable. We can have all the institutional means imaginable to do this, but they must be used. I'm interested in what is going on in New Orleans now. What have we learned? Are we paying attention? American voluntarism has certainly been one dimension of response. Will that response extend to thinking critically about governance?

When German immigrants settled in the Mississippi River grain town of Red Wing, Minnesota during the 1860s, they noticed that the local clay was perfect for producing stoneware such as crocks, jugs, and other forms of pottery used for food storage and preparation. These immigrants had an eye for such things because they had arrived in the upper Midwest as skilled potters.
In 1877, Red Wing Stoneware Co. began producing hand-turned jugs, water coolers, and butter churns, some with capacities of up to 40 gallons. Many of these earliest pieces had glassy, mottled, salt-glazed surfaces, the result of rock salt being tossed into a kiln while the piece was being fired. Decorations on these utilitarian light-brown or tan farmhouse pieces were limited to a single hand-painted blue flower, a tornado shape, the piece's capacity, or perhaps a small bird. Rims were thick and rounded, while clay for the handles were pressed into the piece and shaped by hand. For these reasons, along with their general scarcity, salt-glaze Red Wing stoneware from the late 19th century is highly collectible.
As the 20th century dawned, Red Wing was the largest pottery in the United States. To keep up with demand, the company imposed new, more efficient production methods such as slip...
Bristol glaze, also known as a zinc glaze, replaced salt, and the benefits were immediate. First, Bristol glaze resulted in a uniform, bone-white surface, giving Red Wing food-storage products such as syrup pitchers a cleaner, more sanitary appearance. Second, and just as importantly, Bristol gave Red Wing's designers a neutral background for decoration, from the "red wing" that would become the company's logo to custom designs for advertisers.
Stoneware remained a mainstay for Red Wing through the first part of the 20th century, but the product line faded after World War II. In 1914, it introduced a Brushed Ware line of stoneware urns, vases, and jardinières (planters), whose incised surfaces would be painted and then brushed away, leaving the color in the crevices of the piece. The following year, Red Wing received a patent for its method of attaching wire handles to the tops of its largest and heaviest jars. The patent date of December 21, 1915 would be stamped on pieces with wire handles until Red Wing discontinued the production of stoneware in 1947.
In the intervening years, Red Wing introduced numerous lines of art pottery, which is a favorite of collectors today. Red Wing designed some 2,000 styles of art pottery between 1929 and 1967. The first of these used imported clay (the local sources had been largely depleted) and featured classical Egyptian and Greek vase forms.
One of Red Wing's most famous relationships was with George Rumrill, a wholesaler whose RumRill-branded line of Red Wing art pottery ranged from aqua vases to cream candleholders. Other RumRill groups included a collection of Neo-Classic pieces with ball handles, a number of Shell vases, bowls, and candelabras, and the legendary Indian pieces, the rarest of which are those with a tan or olive semi-matte glaze called Nokomis.
Square and rounded vases, as well as candleholders and figurines, continued throughout the 1940s, while in the 1950s and 1960s, Red Wing produced pieces with designs that suggested influences as varied as Art Deco and Mid-century Modern—Floraline, Stereoline, Textura, and the famous Prismatique are just a few of the lines from this period. Most rare, though, are the ashtrays produced in 1965 to mark the appearance of the Minnesota Twins in the World Series (they lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers).
A third, parallel production line was Red Wing dinnerware, which was introduced in 1935 and produced until Red Wing closed its doors in 1967. The Gypsy Trail line from that introductory year featured four patterns, Plain, Reed, Chevron, and Fondoso, all of which are difficult to find today. The company launched a floral Provincial line in 1941 (its four patterns were Ardennes, Brittany, Normandy, and Orleans), and the wide-ranging Concord line appeared in 1947 (there were 17 patterns in that collection, including the rare Nassau, with its green, brown, and yellow leaves and flowers, and the unapologetically pretty Blossom Time).
The Smart Set pattern of 1955 was part of the Casual line—the pattern's black-and-gold graphics are classically 1950s. Less aesthetically adventurous, but more sought after by collectors today, is the Flight pattern in the Cylinder line from 1962. Those pieces feature birds in flight, making them popular with collectors of duck-hunting imagery as well as with fans of Red Wing.

WATERFORD -- The race between first-time candidate Aaron Norseen and incumbent José Aldaco for City Council remained in the balance late Tuesday night.
Norseen had 664 votes, or 27.5 percent, while Aldaco earned 798 votes, or 33 percent, with 100 percent of precincts reporting.
There are still outstanding ballots to be counted.

The Conservative Party has been desperately trying to rebrand itself. It's a modern 'caring' party. This isn't the party that fucked over half the country during the 1980s, oh no! It's not the party of Section 28 any more.
At a first glance, you could believe it. David Cameron has spent a lot of time talking about green issues and social inclusion. The New Labour project managed to turn around the Labour Party from being completely unelectable to being the party of government for the last 13 years. If Labour could do it, why not the Conservatives?
And if you're in favour of smaller government, smaller taxes, then the New Conservative Party might seem like a good choice.
Except it's not. The New Labour project worked because of the nature of the Labour Party and the Labour movement. The centralised collectivist nature of the party meant that they could more easily direct the fundamental changes required to move away from being business-antagonistic to business- (and voter-) friendly.
The Conservative Party can't enforce those same kind of changes on their constituencies. The individual constituencies have a great deal more power and mostly they're still run by 'old Conservatives'. They're not interested in hugging a hoodie. They're not interested in equality and diversity. They don't care about 'green' issues – they're not a bunch of hippies!
The leadership debates have, in many ways, worked in the Conservative Party's favour, by presenting the most broadly acceptable face of the party: David Cameron. It helps to reinforce the idea that a British General Election is like an American Presidential Election, where you're voting for the person you believe will lead the country best.
You're not. Unless you happen to live in Witney, Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath, or Sheffield Hallam you don't get to vote for any of the people in that debate. The Prime Minister is not chosen by you – it's chosen by whatever internal party leader election system the party in government has. You're voting for a local candidate, who may or may not have anything to do with the message being pushed by the party central office.
Maybe you live in Sutton and Cheam and you're thinking of voting for a Compassionate Conservative. But your local candidate for the Conservative Party is Philippa Stroud, who hates gay people. (And believe me: anyone who claims to 'cure' homosexuality hates gay people. Ignore anything they say about 'loving the sinner' – it's all hate.) Is that who you want to vote for? Look at the record of the existing Conservative MPs on LGBT issues. Does that reflect David Cameron's sudden conversion to supporting Gay Rights?
Make no mistake: if you think you're voting for David Cameron, it's more likely that you're voting for Philippa Stroud. If you want a Parliament that thinks gay people (along with anyone else who doesn't fit the template of 'normal') are possessed by demons, that probably suits you just fine. But it does mean that you're a bit of a cunt.

Santa Rosa maneuvers to protect redevelopment loans
Published: Tuesday, June 26, 2012 at 3:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, June 26, 2012 at 10:51 p.m.
Santa Rosa made a last-ditch effort Tuesday at getting repayment of $5 million in redevelopment loans.
The City Council, acting as the successor agency to the former redevelopment agency, re-authorized three loans with the city in the hope it will prevent them from being invalidated by the state.
In an effort to cut the state budget deficit, Gov. Jerry Brown and the Legislature last year eliminated local redevelopment agencies and directed that most redevelopment funds be diverted to schools and other agencies that would otherwise receive the property tax revenues.
Most cities and counties are seeking ways to retain as much of the money as possible, including by redrafting loans. The Legislature, however, is considering a bill as early as today that would prevent such loans from being reforged, and the city sought to beat that deadline.
"It may be for naught, but we have to try," Elaine Bennett, an accountant in the finance department, told the council.
The deal shortens the term of two loans to require repayment by 2020 and reduces the interest rate on all three from 6 percent to 3 percent to better reflect current yields.

This article was initially published here.
In comparison to the earlier League of Nations, and relative to its age of 66, the United Nations has experienced a great deal of success. Eradicating smallpox, maintaining peace, ending apartheid in South Africa and making safe drinking water available to 1.3bn people in the last decade are just a few of the things that the UN has helped achieve. And with the introduction of South Sudan there are now 193 member countries, meaning practically every country in the world.
However the extent of representation provided by the UN has been continually questioned, especially near to major world events such as the Korean War and recently the Iraq War. President Bush made it clear that the US (and UK) would be fighting a war in Iraq with or without the UN, leaving the world in doubt as to whether the UN can hold powerful nations to account. Indeed were Russia a weaker nation it is quite likely that there would have been a UN resolution on human rights in Chechnya. And although a possible slaughter in Benghazi brought a UN resolution and combined action to support the Libyan rebels, very real slaughters happen every day in Somalia and yet the United Nations doesn't act. All this begs the question as to whether the UN is representing weaker countries and peoples at the same level as it is the stronger ones.
Analysing the extent to which the UN is a success is a subjective matter, since we can only speculate about what the world would be like without the UN. We cannot ascertain for certain the extent to which great powers are motivated to intervene by humanitarian concerns, issues that affect them, and/or realist concerns about what's feasible and what's not. However one thing is almost universally agreed upon: the UN 'represents' some countries and peoples more than others.
The major problem is that the United Nations is just that; a group of nations. In a group of nations the powerful will always hold sway, because built into the nation centric model is the requirement that every national representative try to get as much as they possibly can for their individual nation, irrelevant of what happens to everyone else. This isn't an anarchic argument for the end of states but it is becoming increasingly absurd that those who have permanent seats on the Security Council hold disproportionate power relative to their population size, economic size, and track record for governance.
We are living in the midst of the "Great Convergence", when 'the Rest' is starting to play catch up with 'the West'. And yet Britain and France hold permanent seats on the Security Council while countries like India, Germany, Brazil and Japan (not all recent success stories) have to vie for temporary seats. Thus what it means is that although a global power transition may eventually make certain countries give up their permanent seats, under the current system there will always be a minority of countries who get to make decisions that other UN member countries are contractually obligated to accept and carry out.
But this is beyond economic or military power. In fact the preferred status of powerful nations contradicts article 1 of the United Nation's Declaration of Human Rights: "All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights". What about people's right to equal representation? Until we see a transition from a nation centred international system towards a people centred one, the UN will always represent the powerful more than the weak.
As for whether the United Nations and wider international system can achieve this dream of people-centred reform many are sceptical. But as Kofi Annan once said "if the United Nations does not attempt to chart a course for the world's people in the first decades of the new millennium, who will?" There have been many ideas and propositions that talk about how to make such a step a reality. What's needed now is for a concerted effort to act on these ideas.
I figured a story couldn't hurt; this was originally published here.
The air was crisp and the sun had set long before. I could feel the road beneath my feet as it jarred my knees. And with every step I ran further into the country. My breath pooled in the air in front of me as I reflected on the day's events. As an eighteen year old living in university and suffering from a mild dose of melancholy, I was in no mood to return home the same way I'd just run.
In this article (originally published here) I'll attempt to explain why democratic reforms are not only desirable; they are necessary.
Life Satisfaction Has Remained Constant - Despite Massive Gains In GDP |
Societies in the natural world also have these dominance hierarchies in place. A well-studied example is lobsters. I mention lobsters because let's face it humans are far more intelligent animals than lobsters. Yet even lobsters are intelligent enough to know when they're at the bottom of a hierarchy. At the bottom of a hierarchy people and animals alike feel alienated, dominated, and powerless. In technical terms our brains stop producing as much serotonin. Serotonin is basically the master neurochemical. If your serotonin levels drop then your sensitivity to negative emotions increases and your sensitivity to positive emotions decreases. And if this happens you start producing more cortisol, which is a stress hormone. Thus hierarchies, subjugation and alienation/exclusion are highly influential in creating a lower sense of wellbeing and increase depression (which is forecast to soon become the world's second most disabling condition).
Robert Battison - Founder Of The Democratic Reform Party |
This hierarchical nature of society has, according to many people, actually worsened in the past 60 years, when many people think it would have worked the opposite way. The irony here is that in its relentless pursuit of efficiency our current political and economic system has harmed economic growth. Depression is estimated to lose the UK economy alone billions every year. And increased cortisol levels, which as I mentioned above is only one side effect of this existing structure, suppresses the immune system and decreases bone formation. Therefore dominance hierarchies not only harm our mental wellbeing, but also our physical wellbeing too. It produces cancer, diabetes, obesity, heart disease, degenerative neural diseases, and, well basically a lot of the reasons why healthcare seems so expensive today.
One solution is anti-depressants. I'm not going to try and dissuade anyone from taking these as they can help to boost serotonin levels back up. But if we admit that we've already become a materialistic society do we really want to keep letting drug use go up? Or do we want to tackle the root cause?
I personally believe we need more democratic reform bring a change that will improve well-being. By demolishing the old hierarchies and decentralising power, stopping alienation by creating a contemporary system of inclusion, we can increase wellbeing through empowering people at every level of government. If we agree that politicians exist to increase wellbeing then we should also agree that they're in place to empower us, and strengthen democratic reform.

Apple iPad Mini 8in tablet review
The tablet even Apple haters won't be able to leave alone
Hitting the Apple Store shelves a whole week after Amazon's new Kindle Fire HD tablets began arriving in the post, and two months after Google launched the Asus-made Nexus 7, the iPad Mini deserves to suffer in comparison. Even Google managed to slip a new 32GB version of its Nexus 7 under the radar at the beginning of the week.
Apple's iPad Mini: a terrific little device?
Practically all commentators argue that Google and Amazon have forced Apple into undue haste to develop its own 7in tablet, so it only stands to reason that the result will be a bodged rush-job... surely?
As it turns out, surely not. The iPad Mini is a terrific little device.
For starters, it is not "just a shrunk-down iPad" – as if doing so would somehow have made it easier to manufacture. Those familiar with full-size iPads will have no trouble locating the power and home buttons, volume controls, option switch and headphone socket. However, the shape of the device as a whole has been altered to allow it a narrower bezel on the long edges. Note that an overlapping thumb touching the edge of the screen does not interfere with scrolling.
Comfortable to hold in one hand without straining
There are more dramatic differences. Every time I handed the iPad Mini to someone for the first time, they'd make the same two observations: "Oh, it's really light," invariably followed by, "it's really thin". The iPad Mini is comfortable to hold in one hand without straining, in much the same way that you'd hold an e-ink Kindle or Kobo. By comparison, Amazon's Kindle Fire HD is almost a third heavier and thicker.
Despite being the same width and only a little bit taller than the Fire HD, the iPad Mini presents a significantly bigger screen area that Apple rates as 7.9in diagonal. What this bigger space doesn't give you is more pixels: it's not a Retina display. Instead, the iPad Mini's screen resolution is just 1024 x 768 pixels, exactly the same as for the original iPad and the iPad 2 but compacted to 163ppi. In this regard, it's left standing by the beautiful 1280 x 800 pixel competitors from Amazon and Google.
Hurrah! All your existing apps work immediately, unmodified. But Siri remains as useless as ever
Worse, it means the iPad Mini's screen is unable to play HD movies at full 720p. It has the width, sure, but 1280 has to be squeezed down to 1024, and thus 720 to 576.

Re: Sheltered Life
"Specs specs specs specs specs specs that's all Android fans ever go on about"
... All thanks to its 3.1 million pixels. It's the best mobile display ever.
The new A6X chip inside iPad is up to twice as fast as the previous-generation A5X chip,
The new iPad with Retina display features advanced Wi‑Fi that's up to twice as fast as any previous....
And that's all from the iPad's front page,,,,
I personally couldn't give a flying monkeys what OS something is running, so long as it's priced and specc'd for what I want to do.
I use mine for web browsing & videos. So for me so long as it can output 1080p with out add on's (bar a £10 cable) and browse the web I'm happy, for others they may want more power and more toys.
Personally I've been in this game far to long to be bothered by this pointless willy waving. At the end of the day, if you are buying a device because it looks super trendy, or because it's an open platform with no restrictions and you can do what you want, as opposed to buying it because it actually does what you want it to do, then you've still yet to grow up.
So please, buy the device you want and stop this pointless he said, she said crap, some of us are really bored of it now.
Re: Couldn't Happen To A Nicer Company
"Cheap Android tablets feel like shit. They use thin, horrible plastic, they are slow and they are buggy."
Perhaps stop shopping for tablets in supermarkets..
" I work with phones and tablets all day long"
Translation: I work in an Apple Store.
"if you add up the device features as a whole it's worth every penny."
No it's not. No GPS, Shite maps, no NFC, no multi-use logon, and a rubbish 4:3 non-HD panel, couple with a mediocre (by Nexus7 standards) GPU/CPU, and the infamous Apple lock-in to proprietary formats and connectors and all for an extra £150...
Re: Sheltered Life
""Cheap Android tablets feel like shit. They use thin, horrible plastic, they are slow and they are buggy.
If you are only basing on price alone, then yeah, the iPad Mini gets beaten, but if you add up the device features as a whole it's worth every penny.""
.....Oh great, compare a £259 iPad Mini with a <£100 android, 'cos that's a fair fight......................
Why not compare a 16GB/No SDHC/No HDMI Nexus 7 at £159 with a 16GB/No SDHC/No HDMI iPad Mini at £269 then I'll discuss with you. If you want to tell me that quad-core is too slow, or take umbrage at the grippy rubberised back, them I'm confused. So what do I get for paying 70% more?
My fingertip grip on a Mini in Dixons told me that it's too wide for my hands and although tethered to the display, also too wide for my inside jacket pocket.
If I have to put it in my bag, or can't grip it properly when say on the tube, then it's not fit for going out and about which is surely the selling point for a mini??

I was walking around in a Target store, when I saw a cashier hand this little boy some money back. The boy couldn't have been more than 5 or 6 years old. The cashier said, "I'm sorry, but you don't have enough money to buy this doll." Then the little boy turned to the old woman next to him: "Granny, are you sure I don't have enough money?" The old lady replied: "You know that you don't have enough money to buy this doll, my dear." Then she asked him to stay there for just 5 minutes while she went to look a round. She left quickly. The little boy was still holding the doll in his hand. Finally, I walked toward him and I asked him who he wished to give this doll to. "It's the doll that my sister loved most and wanted so much for Christmas. She was sure that Santa Claus would bring it to her." I replied to him that maybe Santa Claus would bring it to her afterall, and not to worry. But he replied to me sadly. "No, Santa Claus can't bring it to her where she is now. I have to give the doll to my mommy so that she can give it to my sister when she goes there." His eyes were so sad while saying this. "My sister has gone to be with God. Daddy says that Mommy is going to see God very soon too, so I thought that she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister." My heart nearly stopped. The little boy looked up at me and said: "I told daddy to tell mommy not to go yet. I need her to wait until I come back from the mall." Then he showed me a very nice photo of him where he was laughing. He then told me "I want mommy to take my picture with her so she won't forget me. I love my mommy and I wish she doesn't have to leave me, but daddy says that she has to go to be with my little sister." Then he looked again at the doll with sad eyes, very quietly. I quickly reached for my wallet and said to the boy. "Suppose we check again, just in case you do have enough money for the doll?" "OK," he said, "I hope I do have enough." I added some of my money to his without him seeing and we started to count it. There was enough for the doll and even some spare money. The little boy said: "Thank you God for giving me enough money!" Then he looked at me and added, "I asked last night before I went to sleep for God to make sure I had enough money to buy this doll, so that mommy could give it to my sister. He heard me!" "I also wanted to have enough money to buy a white rose for my mommy, but I didn't dare to ask God for too much. But He gave me enough to buy the doll and a white rose." "My mommy loves white roses." A few minutes later, the old lady returned and I left with my basket. I finished my shopping in a totally different state from when I started. I couldn't get the little boy out of my mind. Then I remembered a local newspaper article two days ago, which mentioned a drunk man in a truck, who hit a car occupied by a young woman and a little girl. The little girl died right away, and the mother was left in a critical state. The family had to decide whether to pull the plug on the life-sustaining machine, because the young woman would not be able to recover from the coma. Was this the family of the little boy? Two days after this encounter with the little boy, I read in the newspaper that the young woman had passed away. I couldn't stop myself as I bought a bunch of white roses and I went to the funeral home where the body of the young woman was exposed for people to see and make last wishes before her burial. She was there, in her coffin, holding a beautiful white rose in her hand with the photo of the little boy and the doll placed over her chest. I left the place, teary-eyed, feeling that my life had been changed forever.. The love that the little boy had for his mother and his sister is still, to this day, hard to imagine. And in a fraction of a second, a drunk driver had taken all this away from him. Now you have 2 choices: 1) Reblog this message. 2) Ignore it as if it never touched your heart

With well over 300 theatre and dance companies in the SF Bay Area, there were more than a thousand productions during the year 2009. And the SF Bay Times reviewers covered as many of them as possible. Each writer sees 50-150 shows annually and reviews most of them. And once a year, itŌĆÖs a real pleasure for them to pick their favorite ten (or five) productions.
Looking over their selections this year, itŌĆÖs clear that the Magic TheatreŌĆÖs production of Mauritius wins, hands down, the highest ranking. Next up is Off Broadway West Theatre CompanyŌĆÖs The Homecoming. And very close behind are The MarshŌĆÖs Loveland, SF PlayhouseŌĆÖs One Flew Over the CuckooŌĆÖs Nest, and Berkeley Repertory TheatreŌĆÖs In the Next Room (or the vibrator play).
Regarding the diversity and excellence of the many theatre and dance companies, we at the SF Bay Times say BRAVO!

5. Aur├®liaŌĆÖs Oratorio at Berkeley Repertory Theatre. The theatrical and the mundane are treated with equal awe by performer Aur├®lia Thierr├®e.
