Casino Petition
The Chinese Christian Church and Center has taken a public stance against the proposed construction of the casino at the gallery located on 10th and Market. Our concerns are as follows:
- We are concerned that it may have a negative impact on families in the community, leading to increases in divorce, suicide, bankruptcy, child abuse, and domestic violence.
- We are concerned that the casino will result in a skyrocketing of crime.
- We are concerned that gambling will hurt, not help, our existing businesses by siphoning away discretionary dollars that might otherwise have been spent at local restaurants and shops.
We ask that you join us in opposing the development of the proposed Gallery casino and supporting our efforts to keep our community healthy. If you have not signed the handwritten petition, but would like to add your name to it, please send an email entitled, "No Gallery casino" to email@example.com with your name and address. Thank you for your support.
Could I Have a Word?
Worth Pondering
80% of Christian workers minister among the 7.6% of the world's population who speak English
50% of the world's population does not live where they can attend a church in their language or culture

Glad News from Ghana
Last Easter a portion of our offering went to support a prostitute rehabilitation program in Ghana. The African Enterprise leader who runs it contacted Tenth by IM today. Here is his report:
We had the graduation today for the phase one of our training. Twenty ladies graduated. The final report will be sent to you next week. The ladies were very grateful.
The programme is run in such a way that for the first 2 weeks they are given the opportunity to hear the gospel and to make a decision. All of the ladies committed their lives to Christ. Also they are encouraged to go to church during the training period and most of them have been attending church since we started. Some of the pastors have promised to follow them up and offer them the necessary support for them to remain in the faith. God bless you and the church for supporting this worthy programme.
Today after the graduation, 12 ladies who are friends of the former prostitutes who are also prostitutes came to me and asked that we write their names for the second phase. We have decided to start it early February 2009.
We have been praying for America, because whatever happens in America has its effect on other parts of the world. My teamleader made us to pray for America after the graduation. We spent about 25- 30 minutes for America before I came to the office. We are traveling to Kumasi tomorrow on a prayer retreat, and I believe America and 10th Presbyterian Church as well as the other church which supported us [Cresheim Valley] will be remembered.
Thank God for this partnership.
Flooding Troubles
This is the 4th day of flooding and it's still raining and is suppose to rain all week. My house is flooded, I don't know the current level of water in the first floor. High water mark was about 14 inches. Yesterday afternoon it was down to about 4, but it's started raining again.... The lake outside the house and the living room have just become all one body of water! In fact my lake now covers about a mile square if not more!
The high water mark was on Friday night and now regions of Hanoi are dryer. However, schools and businesses are all closed today by order of the government. One of the crucial issues is food. It's scarce and if there is any very expensive. I have been told of mini riots in markets when a lone vegetable seller managed to get in with a motorbike load.I am carrying veggies, oil and water in with me today - but not too much as I know that I'll have to carry it at least sometimes.
I want to relieve my housemates who have been in the house for 3 days. They don't want to leave the house for fear of break-ins. I think that I can watch the house for a few days and they can wade out to friends who have electricity and have a break. They sounded really tired last night. We still have running water in the house, but they use as little as possible and don't' flush as they are afraid the flood and the sewers really have become one.
Anyway.... we are inconvenienced - but so many poor people, and students have lost so much. Yesterday the death toll was at 20 which is not so bad, but it's bound to go up as disease begins to spread and people get hungrier. We have some student friends who live on our lake who have been living in rooms w/ 10 - 20 inches of water in them as they don't dare to leave their things....

Election Day Prayer
Pray for God to glorify his own name
"O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive. O Lord, pay attention and act. Delay not, for your own sake, O my God, because your city and your people are called by your name." (Daniel 9:19)
What matters supremely is not who wins the election, but that God display his glory in the earth. Pray that God will do in the election whatever will most glorify his name.
Confess our sins as a nation and personally
I prayed to the Lord my God and made confession, saying, "O Lord, the great and awesome God, who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, we have sinned and done wrong and acted wickedly and rebelled, turning aside from your commandments and rules" (Daniel 9.4-5)
Daniel identified with his nation's sins. Though he personally had not rebelled like the rest of his countrymen, he too was a sinner. We've all sinned in many ways. Let's humble ourselves, and confess our nation's sins and our own sins.
Pray for God's mercy
"Now therefore, O our God, listen to the prayer of your servant and to his pleas for mercy, …For we do not present our pleas before you because of our righteousness, but because of your great mercy" (Daniel 9:17-18)
We don't deserve godly leaders or any of his blessings, but God is rich in mercy and longs to show mercy to us.
Pray for godly leaders
When the righteous increase, the people rejoice, but when the wicked rule, the people groan (Proverbs 29:2).
Let's ask God to give us godly leaders who will promote righteousness.
Thank God for his sovereign reign over rulers and nations
Daniel answered and said:"Blessed be the name of God forever and ever,to whom belong wisdom and might. He changes times and seasons; he removes kings and sets up kings" (Daniel 2:20-21).
God removes leaders and installs them. Whoever wins the election will do so because God has decided to place him in office.
No matter who sits in the Oval Office, our God is on his throne.

Country singer Glen Campbell has died at 81, his publicist confirmed Tuesday (Aug 9, 2017).
Publicist Sandy Brokaw said Campbell died Tuesday morning in Nashville.
The "Rhinestone Cowboy" singer had been battling Alzheimer's disease.
Campbell was one of the biggest stars of the late 1960s and 1970s. He sold more than 45 million records, had 12 gold albums and 75 chart hits.
During a half-century as a performer, the small-town ARKANSAS son of a sharecropper – the seventh son of 12 children – released more than 70 albums; and accumulated 12 RIAA GOLD albums, four PLATINUM, and one DOUBLE-PLATINUM, placing a total of 80 different songs on either the BILLBOARD Country, Top 40, or Adult Contemporary charts, nine of them at #1.
He made history in 1967, winning four GRAMMYS -- two each in Country and Pop -- for "Gentle On My Mind" and "By The Time I Get To PHOENIX," respectively.

When we worked together, which was many times, like in Branson, when we opened up the Palace Theatre. We opened it up together. We would wind up on our bus, playing songs until one night we played so long that he just fell asleep.Glen Campbell was one of the greatest voices of all time.

He was able to rise above all formats, as he hit the top of the charts in country and pop/rock virtually side by side. A remarkable feat by a most remarkable man."

James Robert Webb - "Our prayers are with the Campbell family who lost Glen after his long and heart-wrenching battle with Alzheimer's.

Janie Fricke - "This is so sad. One of my proudest moments with Glen was when he borrowed my guitar for a TV Taping in Nashville. He is a respected talent. He was a great artist…I recently recorded one of his hit songs 'Try a Little Kindness so I take a little bit of Glen with me everywhere I go."
Jason Aldean - Lost another great one today. Thoughts and prayers going out to the Campbell family. #glencampbell #rhinestonecowboy
Jason Isbell - Saying Glen Campbell "lost his fight with Alzheimer's" is like saying "John McCain lost the war in Vietnam." That's just not how it works.

Jimmy Fortune - "I loved him and I am happy he is in a better place. My memories with Glen go back to my early teens. My dad brought home a Glen Campbell album, and from that time on I loved Glen Campbell. I was a huge fan. I was always in awe of him and he was one of the most talented people I have ever known. When I joined Statler Brothers in the early 80s I got to be on the 'Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour' with Jerry Reed and I could not believe it. He was always so nice and I admired the man and his talent. I will get to pay a small tribute to Glen with the song of his 'Southern Nights,' which I did on my latest album. What a loss. His presence will forever be missed."
Jimmy Osmond - What a loss for all of us such an amazing performer and dear friend. Adios my friend Glen Campbell see you on the other side

Kenny Rogers - So very sorry to hear this. Glen was such a talented, great guy. Thankful to have known him
"It's always tragic when you hear of a friend passing, but he had to be miserable that last few years of his life. At least he doesn't have to deal with that anymore. We worked together a lot through the years. In fact, Glen played on almost all First Edition music. He played a dynamic riff on the guitar that was trend setting. I also shot a few of his album covers back in the day and, at the time, I never knew people were paid to do that, but a few weeks later I received a check in the mail that was unexpected and highly received. I'll never forget that. He was a good friend and it breaks my heart that he's not here to contribute to music anymore."

As we age, we often start to develop those annoying frown lines on our forehead and between the eyebrows as well as "crow's feet" wrinkling on the outer edges of our eyes when we smile. To temporarily alleviate these age-associated lines and wrinkles when they begin to appear, I use two products: Botox and Dysporttm. Both are approved by the FDA.
Botox Cosmetic® is widely recognized and was the first neurotoxin to be approved for cosmetic use in the United States. It blocks the nerve signals that cause the muscles to contract, thus, temporarily weakening the muscle that is causing the wrinkle. Results are visible within a couple days and typically last for 3 months.
Dysport works basically the same way as Botox. It's been approved for use in the U.S. since 2009, although it's been safely utilized by physicians in Europe for the last 19 years. The results are typically the same as Botox, and it also lasts up to about four months.
I have personally used both of these products and continue to do so. They are extremely safe. You occasionally will see some bruising at the injection site. Also, sometimes we need to touch up an area which can easily and quickly be done at your convenience in the office. Properly used, there is no "mask like" effect that you occasionally hear about.
We routinely incorporate the use of these "wrinkle relaxers" in conjunction with other modalities such as Sciton laser treatments, and fillers such as Juvederm, Restylane and Artefil to make significant changes without major surgery and downtime. Ultimately, you may require a surgical procedure to achieve the best results, but being able to eliminate some of the lines now can make you look younger, feel better about yourself and buy some time before any major procedure is needed. Give us a call to schedule an appointment to see how you might benefit from wrinkle reduction.

Applications of aggregation theory to sustainability assessment
In order to aid in transition towards operations that promote sustainability goals, researchers and stakeholders use sustainability assessments. Although assessments take various forms, many utilize diverse sets of indicators that can number anywhere from two to over 2000. Indices, composite indicators, or aggregate values are used to simplify high dimensional and complex data sets and to clarify assessment results. Although the choice of aggregation function is a key component in the development of the assessment, there are few examples to be found in literature to guide appropriate aggregation function selection. This paper develops a connection between the mathematical study of aggregation functions and sustainability assessment in order to aid in providing criteria for aggregation function selection. Relevant mathematical properties of aggregation functions are presented and interpreted. Lastly, we provide cases of these properties and their relation to previous sustainability assessment research. Examples show that mathematical aggregation properties can be used to address the topics of compensatory behavior and weak versus strong sustainability, aggregation of data under varying units of measurements, multiple site multiple indicator aggregation, and the determination of error bounds in aggregate output for normalized and non-normalized indicator measures.

Morocco's King Mohammed has accused a minister of dragging the monarchy into the campaign for October's legislative elections after the official described a key royal adviser as the incarnation of "authoritarianism".
The palace accused Nabil Benabdallah, the PPS housing minister, of "tarnishing the nation's reputation and the credibility of its institutions" over comments in which he was quoted as referring to PAM's founder as authoritarian.
"The royal cabinet wants to remove any doubt regarding that statement and its dangerous and important character, mainly as it came from a member of the government," the palace said referring to Benabdallah's comments in a Moroccan newspaper published few days ago.
The palace's statement was a rare public defense of the adviser Fouad Ali El Himma, the king's close friend, seen by critics as a symbol of an establishment ill at ease in sharing power with Islamists and other independent political parties.
"That statement contradicts the constitution and the laws that define the relationship between the monarchy and other national institutions including political parties."
The parliamentary ballot on October 7th will be only the second vote since the kingdom adopted constitutional reforms designed to calm protests by sharing some power during the uprisings in 2011 that toppled leaders in Libya, Egypt and Tunisia.
The ruling Islamists party, the Justice and Development party or PJD, is looking to solidify its position in a system where the king still holds ultimate power.
The PJD, and its junior ally the Socialism and Progress Party (PPS), have accused the establishment of favoring Authenticity and Modernity Party, or PAM, the PJD's main rival.
Critics say Morocco is letting slide the freedoms King Mohammed promoted as a concession to the protesters, by putting pressure on activists and politicians who were empowered by the new constitution guaranteeing freedom of speech.
Nearly 30 parties are contesting the vote, with mostly similar platforms such as fighting corruption and ending privileges, but none directly challenge the king's powers.
The PJD does not openly challenge the king's authority and its leader was named prime minister by the palace. But it made gains in local elections last year to control Rabat and other major cities, and is popular for its anti-corruption drive.

The LST course meets the new CMS-mandated educational guidelines for hyperbaric education.
Tarrytown, NY (PRWEB) May 23, 2014
The Life Support Technologies group (LST) has successfully taught its 27th "Introduction to Hyperbaric Medicine" course, which is accredited by both the Undersea & Hyperbaric Medical Society (UHMS) and the National Board of Diving & Hyperbaric Medical Technology (NDBHMT). LST provides the 42-hour course 4 times a year at hospital partner facilities.
Twenty-five attendees completed an intensive 5-day "Introduction to Hyperbaric Medicine" course at the LST Partner facility, Saint Francis Hospital and Medical Center, Hartford, CT. Course attendees came primarily from the CT-NY-NJ Tri-State area; one attendee travelled from the Middle Eastern nation of Quatar. The well-rounded group of attendees included physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses, and emergency medical technicians. Core course faculty include: Glenn J. Butler, CEO; Michael Allen, SVP; Edward Golembe, M.D.; Scott Gorenstein, M.D.; Jody C. DiGiacomo, M.D., Donovan T. Rosas, M.D.; Jay G. Levine, D.P.M.; Mark Chipps, CHT; Michael Merrow, CHT, and Training Director Bernie Chowdhury, CHT; all of whom are Hyperbaric Board certified.
The LST course meets the new CMS-mandated educational guidelines for hyperbaric education; it provides the foundation for physicians, nurses, respiratory therapists, paramedics, emergency medical technicians, hyperbaric technicians, and other clinical professionals who are either working in, or planning to enter, the field of Hyperbaric Medicine. The course is a pathway toward achieving professional certification in this growing field.
The Undersea & Hyperbaric Medical Society (UHMS) is the primary source of scientific information for diving and hyperbaric medicine physiology worldwide and functions as the governing body for the industry. Organizations that present UHMS approved courses are rigorously screened and must adhere to strict guidelines and standards. The first LST course was developed by the late Eric P. Kindwall, M.D., author of several prominent books that continue to be used for medical training. Considered by many to be the "Father of Hyperbaric Medicine," Dr. Kindwall was the developer and director of courses presented by LST until 2008. Dr. Kindwall's contributions to LST and to its educational programs are considerable.
Physicians (MD and DO) who attend and participate in the entire course are awarded 42 Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits, which are granted by the UHMS. Allied health professionals (including those who are DPM, PhD, NP, PA, EMT, Paramedic, RN, LPN, RT, RRT) who attend and participate in the entire course are awarded 40 Continuing Education Units (CEU), which are granted by the NBDHMT.
The two remaining course dates and venues at LST partner medical facilities for this year are: June 6-10, 2014 at Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center, Suffern, NY; Oct 17-21, 2014 at Winthrop University Hospital, Mineola, NY.
Next year's course dates and venues at LST partner medical facilities are: February 27 – March 3, 2015 at Westchester Medical Center, Valhalla, NY; April 24-28, 2015 at St. Francis Hospital & Medical Center, Hartford, CT; June 5-9, 2015 at Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center, Suffern, NY; October 16-20, 2015 at Nassau University Medical Center, East Meadow, NY.

I wrote a post a few months about about problems in the healthcare industry, and how to fix them. Now, it seems that the industry is finally embracing new technology. Keep in mind here that they are doing this to for their own profit motives, not out of the goodness of their hearts. But I think this kind of change will lead to lower healthcare costs for everyone in the long-run.
The main problem with the healthcare industry is inefficieny. Investing in new technology systems will help to fix that. It won't solve everything, since healthcare suffers from some unique problems. But since the industry is WAY behind in adopting new technologies (with respect to information, not treatment) I expect to see big cost savings as this movement spreads.

After another exciting week on the Official Smartphone Rankings, the HTC One was your #1 selection on the charts.
"THE BEST SMARTPHONE OUT TODAY!" by TRE GOOLSBY on July 19, 2013
I was very skeptical! I finally gave in and purchased the phone at my local T-Mobile location. I have absolutely no regrets! The phone is fast. Battery life is spectacular even when you have everything syncing constantly. Easily can go through a full day with some battery left. Works great with all the latest games. Display is remarkable. The design... WOW it's just perfect. The camera is definitely one amazing camera dispite the fact that it is a 4MP (or 1 Ultrapixel) camera. Just go ahead and buy one to judge for yourself. No review can describe it's greatness.
Display 5/5
Battery Life 5/5
Apps & Media Support 5/5
Reception & Call Quality 4/5

Previous Challenge Entry (Level 1 – Beginner)
Topic: Billboard/Poster/Sign (any or all) (12/02/10)
TITLE: Signs From God
By Randall Shepard
The second definition of a sign according to dictionary.com is "any object, action, event, pattern, etc., that conveys a meaning." When most people think of signs, they think of billboards or posters, but a sign can be everywhere, and made of everything. The signs we see most are those 30 second videos called commercials. Let's face it; commercials are just signs telling us what the world says we need in order to be happy. We also see billboards and posters everywhere we go. We cannot get away from the signs of the world that tell us what the world considers the secrets to happiness. These signs make it very easy for Christians to get sucked into being a part of the world, but we must remember that once we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior we are not of this world. We must do our best to ignore the signs of this world, and look for the signs that God gives us in order to live the life that God wants us to live.
I am not talking about signs that tell us about the second coming of Christ or the end of the world. We should already be living as if Christ is going to come back at any moment. I am talking about the signs that God gives us that show us glimpse of who He is, and how we are suppose to live. If you are lucky you might actually see a sign, poster, or billboard with Scripture on it, but those are few and far between. We often have to look a bit harder to see the signs that God gives us. It could be a person in your life that constantly laughs whom God is using to remind you that you are to live with a joyful heart every day. A sign from God could also come in the form of somebody helping another person to remind you that we are to be encouraging each other and building each other up (see 1 Thessalonians 5:11) . Watching a father play with his child could also be a sign from God to remind you how much you heavenly Father loves you. Signs from God confirming and reminding us of His Word are everywhere. We just need to slow down enough to recognize them. So, the next time you feel as if this world is crashing in on you, slow down, take a deep breath, and look around you; you might just be surprised at what you see.

Do Your Kids Like Tony the Tiger? That's Not Great for Their Weight
Are your kids on a first-name basis with Tony the Tiger and Trix Rabbit? Do they point out the Golden Arches when you drive by? New research found a correlation between familiarity with junk-food logos and being overweight in kids as young as 3.
"We found the relationship between brand knowledge and BMI [body mass index] to be quite robust," says Anna McAlister, an assistant professor of advertising and public relations at Michigan State University who worked on the study.
The study looked at groups of kids between ages 3 and 5, the age when they're developing what the researchers called their "first language of food." This means even before they're old enough to read, in some cases, toddlers are associating these logos with unhealthy foods.
"People who produce images really know how to attract certain populations, and they know what kinds of images they respond to," says Julie Metos, Ph.D., R.D., an assistant professor and the interim chair of the Division of Nutrition at the University of Utah College of Health. "I think what it says about how early food choices are made or imprinted on our brain is very powerful.
Metos says parents should expose their kids to a variety of healthy foods, limit junk-food purchases and trips to the drive-thru, and avoid conveying the idea that a fast-food meal or an extra-sugary cereal is a reward.
Another crucial step is limiting kids' exposure to advertising, primarily by making sure they don't spend a lot of time parked in front of the TV. Couch-surfing diminishes physical activity, but that's not even the most important reason to turn off the tube. "It's not the TV time itself, but rather what is learned about these brands," McAlister says.comments powered by Disqus

Epilogue, One Last Dance, Chapters 104-105 Summary
Stef has been in the hospital for nine months. At first it was unclear if Stef would survive his injuries. Then a new surgeon took on the case and his confidence in Stef's recovery seemed to give new energy to the case.

surowiecki whiffsSo I tried to read James Surowiecki's column on populism with an open mind, considering his long career, but it didn't pan out. I was directed to this brief entry by a mass market blog, which suggested the Surowiecki as an antidote to a Fox News story on voter panic at the disco. So I clicked. And I kept my credulity in check right up until I read, in the last graph, this:
(The movement that today's populism most closely resembles is Ross Perot's, which arose, similarly, during a downturn.)
About the only way that the Tea Party resembles the Perotistas is that they both claim to be outside the two-party system, and they both are peopled by bipeds.
I, like James, am old enough to remember Ross Perot and the invisible robot in his teeth that told him that he was going to get under the hood of government, and I distinctly don't remember Perot voters hanging tea bags off their ears and taking work off to scream nonsense that cannot be supported by rational thought at elected officials. Perotistas were certainly interested in a protest vote, in upsetting the "status quo", but they were fifty percent less inchoate than the TP, and entirely without the paranoid know-nothingism and the crypto-racism that fuels the TPers.
The populist movements that most closely resemble the Tea Party are ones that we are forbidden to reference in conversation because it is not fair — movements that did bad things and are not remembered fondly.
It might not be the dumbest thing ever written by a writer on the Conde Nast payroll, but it is remarkably dumb.

tp is a useful acronym, yes?Steve Benen points out a survey that was taken of Tea Partiers to determine their expertise in the issues that they care so deeply about as to raise their voices and feel very very entitled:
Indeed, it appears much of the Tea Party crowd is simply clueless about the issues they claim to care the most about, wildly exaggerating federal tax rates, how much a median family pays in taxes, and what's changed since President Obama took office.
Credit must be given for the pollster, going through all that work to verify something that is already known. And the pollster was David Frum, who, as an ex-Bush speechwriter is hardly the very picture of Howard Zinnity.
But at least now when a TP claims that we Eastern liberal types just think those real Americans like the TP are just stupid — why, yes, yes we do. And a bunch of guys are working on quantifying that.

hcr pushback: damn the motherless 11 year olds...Here's a bit of hot fresh "Oh, world," for the Friday:
Marcelas Owens, whose mother got sick, lost her job, lost her health insurance and died, said Thursday he's taking the attacks from Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck and Michelle Malkin in stride.
"My mother always taught me they can have their own opinion but that doesn't mean they are right," Owens, who lives in Seattle, said in an interview.
Mr Owens is eleven years old. In fact, Mr Owens is a motherless eleven year old. Don't really give a shit about the whole "How dare they!" thing, mostly because it turns the argument away from the issue. Which is basically that Mr Owens' mother died because private insurance companies find it profitable to not insure people like Mr Owens' mother. Which is why I'll be happy if reform passes, but I won't truly be happy until each and every private insurance interest is put out of business, for good.
I guess I don't believe that you win an argument solely on the basis that you refrain from mocking motherless eleven year olds in the national media. But what a bunch of fucking assholes.

global warming workingSo when it's very cold, or it snows to excess, a chorus of, "There's your global warming!" arises, from everywhere from the line to buy a coffee all the way up to the United States Senate (like from noted scholar Jim Inhofe). Because, you see, snow is not warm, and nor is, for that matter, cold. And so how there be global warming if the temperature sometimes doesn't go up?
And then my question is, how is it that on days like this, when it is unseasonably warm, global warming triumphalists aren't piping up? Obviously the answer is that people that accept the science that climate change is looming understand that daily variances in temperature are irrelevant to the entire question.
So it seems to me that this is emblematic of the hue and cry of the right — they are not interested in empiricism, they are interested in being right. Somehow climate change has become not a possible threat to be evaluated, but a policy point that must be beat back to validate whatever constitutes the worldview of the right.
It makes me wonder if the old Bugs Bunny gag of
"Yes you are."
"No I'm not."
"Yes you are."
"No I'm not."
"Yes you are."
"Yes I am."
"No you're not."
...might work.
But nice day out here in NYC, hoo dog.

alex chilton and gibby haynesFrom an otherwise noteworthy interview of exiting Harper's web editor Paul Ford, the best Alex Chilton anecdote of the day so far:
Paul: My favorite tale is from Our Band Could Be Your Life, when [Chilton] shut down Gibby Haynes's rampage through the Netherlands:Moments later a man entered the dressing room and asked if he could borrow a guitar. "BORROW A GUITAR??!!! WELL, WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU???!!! [Gibby Haynes of the Butthole Surfers] screamed, eyes flashing in delirious anticpation of forthcoming violence. But the man was totally unfazed.
"I'm Alex Chilton," the man answered calmly.
Haynes was flabbergasted. After a long pause, he methodically opened the remaining guitar cases one by one and gestured at them as if to say, "Take anything you want."
Also the best Gibby Haynes anecdote of the day so far.

hiram monserrate's brave 4,000And this is the last we get to write of Hiram Monserrate for the time being, as the widely-reviled, girlfriend-slashing douchebag failed to win back his State Senate seat in a special election yesterday.
Monserrate's comments were sadly non-inflammatory, but still delusional:
"We fought a hard-fought fight. It's a testament to our community that we pulled 4,000 votes. What we showed here is that there's an alternative to politics as usual in Queens."
Monseratte is not just a man who slashed the face of his girlfriend, he is a man who dragged her to a hospital outside of his district after he did so, which is not the act of a non-douchebag. And more importantly, he is a machine politician who treated his seat as a license to aggregate, repeatedly switching to the party of the highest bidder. And once expelled, he campaigned like he was some kind of outsider that was going to bring a populist slant to Albany — something he never did back when he had the opportunity. It was an obscenity.
Which is now happily in the rearview.

you can just shut the door on the shoutyAside from the proliferation of signage at the Tea Party Down Whoo! event in DC today, this seems to be the most interesting thing that happened, as a group of kids disguised as Americans angry about their liberty being stolen played ding dong ditch in a congressional office building. And then got all peeved when the offices being shouted at foiled the shouters by closing the door.
You can't just close the door on the American people, Congressman Liar!
Oh wait. I guess you can.
Overall: disappointing, and I don't just mean the turnout. More crazy please! I'm bored.
Posted by mrbrent at 5:40 PM
tea party down whoo!In case you have nothing better to look forward today, there's gonna be a big ole Tea Baggy protest against health care in Washington today:
This rally is being organized by the more establishment side of the tea party movement — or co-opted side, depending on your point of view. The sponsors include the Tea Party Express, founded by Republican operatives in California, and FreedomWorks, the corporate-funded outfit run by former House Majority Leader Dick Armey. Accordingly, the list of speakers is dominated by elected Republicans, albeit some of the more whacked members of the GOP caucus: Reps. Michele Bachmann, Marsha Blackburn, Joe Wilson, and Phil Gingrey.
Hey, I guess up there I was supposed to type "protest against health care reform". What an inadvertently revelatory mistake.
Not that I would ever accuse them of a healthy imagination, but hopefully they do something more interesting that use their outside voice while the House GOP in attendance claim some grassroots legitimacy for having Dick Armey stage-manage a rally for them, so that we all have something to talk about during cocktail hour.

i need a transplantIf I was nifty with an iPhone (if I had an iPhone), I'd just link up the image, but, failing that, in the sidebar of "What's On Today" from the NYT TV listings:
10 P.M. (MTV) I NEED A TRANSPLANT "True Life" follows a college student in search of a new kidney and a newlywed with leukemia in need of a bone-marrow transplant.
There's a time not long ago when that would be considered comedy writing. But welcome to now.

glenn beck's eventual breakdownIt's nice enough that Alex Pareene draws a little more meat out of Howard Kurtz's piece on Glenn Beck and the shadow campaign of Fox News whispers against him. Mostly because Pareene is a better read than Kurtz, and partly because any tugging at the mask of Beck is welcome:
Beck, though—this guy is only out for himself. He inculcates in his audience not mere patriotic fervor, but a deep fear for Glenn Beck's personal safety. The most important issue on Beck's program is not so much that the Democrats want to hurt America or keep you less safe or whatever (thought they do!), it's that shadowy, powerful forces will destroy Glenn Beck.
But really if you think about it, this may be one of the few times that a story can use fewer sentences to explain it instead of more. Like, "Fox News plants story with Kurtz to cover ass in light of eventual Glenn Beck breakdown." It's got a certain ring to it.

march modok madnessIt is the Ides of March, and I'm remembering that I have not yet shilled March MODOK Madness, which is a once-a-year event in which visual artists of all stripes contribute depictions of and/or inspired by MODOK, who is a Marvel Comics villain that will probably not be in "Iron Man 2".
Take as an example of all the awesome this: page seven of Brendan Tobin's "The Maleficent MODOK" #1. It's got that new car smell and I love it. Pages one through six aren't so bad either.
And the other couple hundred iterations of MODOK are also great. And if you are so inclined, you can make your own MODOK and the fellas will publish it. How better to spend an Ides?

gm seedsFrom an already-interesting NYT story from last week about a dramatic rise in seed prices, as caused by agribusiness cornering the market on genetic traits that they engineer into seedstock:
Today more than 90 percent of soybeans and more than 80 percent of the corn grown in this country are genetically engineered.
Not to say that genetically modified food is inherently bad. But I would say that if something like a GM food takes a couple decades to develop its unintended adverse effect, then we're not at that point yet. Also, as far as introducing GM crops into the environment, I'm reminded of Asian carp.
So how exactly how far away are we from the point when we try to remember what corn used to taste like?
And that is your scary thought for the day.

Morocco Backpacking
Hi, I'll be taking a ferry from Spain to Morocco around Mid August and dont really have any plans after that. I'll hope to spend about a month in Morocco but am flexible. I'd like to see a bit of all the different landscapes - coast, mountains, oases. Would like to do a dive or two, maybe some kite board lessons, camel trekking, getting lost in souks, a bit of everything. I'm very casual about where I go, how long I stay in each place etc, am open to any suggestions.
I'd mostly be staying in backpacker hostels but would love to check out a riad or two.
I'm a mid 20's female, nearing the end of a long solo trip, and looking for some company on this leg. Let me know if your interested in joining me for all or any time.

We spoke with game design guru Luc Bernard a few weeks back (actually, last October, too) about his intentions for the continuation of the Eternity's Child series. He told us all about Mecho Wars, which promises to be a grand prequel that brings us up to speed on the events of his lush strategy game.
Well, Bernard's since flitted to America, and just dropped Kotaku a line to reveal a few extra details on Mecho Wars. The game, as we know, is a prequel and aims to tell us the story of why the protagonist from the original game, Angel, wound up alone on the eco-ravaged planet.
The tactical strategy game will boast nine different units and three modes of play (although one of them is the tutorial, apparently). Award winning Sean Beeson returns to provide the soundtrack for Mecho Wars, and by all accounts it should land on the App Store later this month.
