Poor Lao Tzu. He gets saddled with the most atrocious of the New Age codswallop. As if it wasn't enough to be for founder of one of the most obscure philosophies (not a religion, since it has no deity), he gets to be the poster boy for all sorts of twaddle from people who clearly have never read his actual writing.
This time it's a mushy feel-good quote on Facebook (mercifully without kittens or angels) that reads,
If you are depressed, you are living in the past. If you are anxious, you are living in the future. If you are at peace, you are living in the present.
Well, it's not by Lao Tzu. Or more properly, Laozi. That's not his name, by the way: it's an honorific, a title that roughly translates to "Old Master." His real name was likely Li Er, Wikipedia tells us. But his name doesn't matter: it's the single book he left us that is relevant.
That book – the Tao Teh Ching – consists of 81 short "chapters" – although they'd be better described as poems. Or pithy epithets. It can be ready cover to cover in an hour.
For all its brevity, the Tao Teh Ching is a weighty work. It's the underpinning of an entire school of Chinese metaphysics and philosophy: Taoism, that dates back to the Axial Age, circa 500 BCE. That makes Lao Tzu contemporary with Confucius and in the same rough time frame as Siddhartha Gautama.
Lap Tzu was clearly a deep thinker, which makes it all the more ironic that he gets accused of spouting all sorts of saccharine New Age piffle.
One of the stories of how the book came about goes like this: Lao Tzu was the Keeper of the Royal Archives. Late in his life, he wearied of the intrigues, the corruption and the crassness of life at court. He decided to go live the remainder of his life as a hermit in the mountains. At the city gate, the sentry asked him to write down his wisdom. The result was the Tao Teh Ching.
Like with many religious, political or philosophical figures, take any story or claims with a grain of salt. Stories get embellished by both supporters and enemies over the centuries.*
Others say the work is really a collection of sayings by many people, collated into a single work. Since the earliest copy of the text is at least 100 years younger than Lao Tzu, and there are no verifiable records that identify him as the sole author, this theory strikes me as having some merit.
After all, every single religious work I can think of has been edited, added to, cut away from and interpreted by hundreds of human hands in the interim since it was first penned. Why not this one?

Seib & Wessel: Groundhog Day in Washington
As a new budget deadline looms in Washington -- yet again -- there is one thing that's different this time: No one in Congress seems to be working on a solution, says WSJ's Janet Hook.

I think what happened was ... this kind of this ball that started rolling last summer and it was latched onto ... by ... polling people were polled generally but the tea party activists that really decided to make this the line in the same thing that you know it's for when it passed and that is what they spent their August doing yes that is ... pushing his office ... as a push in a public airing two thousand and nine in the very beginning it's also ... sees me because it's hard for them to cut ... annually appropriate spending any more than half that really top ranked ... ninth in many were tucking below the sequester ... right I mean the extent that anybody is still talking about what to do about the budget as opposed to health care policy ... they are ... there to replace the sequester in effect I think I'd be very hard for them to cut any teeth for ... and what they got going in the sequester are the only other difference it seems to me least this time versus the last couple years is that as opposed to the White House during around trying to come up with a grand deal to fix all these Proms ... they seem recently standing there saying ... c'mon guys can do with the program and not only do that yet and that whatever uneaten part of the conversation leads to spending and passed Budget Norton or trying to insert themselves into that now and they've come clear their science also the fact that they're not Guinea get anything in the inner third and one of the it ... that read do anything and sentiment season ... for any kind of proposal maps can sit back and do the bare minimum and not really be involved in the not talking to anybody ... some may fear says the shutdown ... a figure there's a shutdown ... and particular if there's a shutdown and it's because of the ...

"Project Runway" premieres Thursday night on Lifetime from New York City, but host Heidi Klum says the show will probably return to the City of Angels, the home base of its sixth season.
"We like to change it up, we like to go back and fourth," Heidi told Access Hollywood's Billy Bush on Wednesday. "So, the [next season] will probably be back in LA again."
And although Heidi, husband Seal and their kids are based in LA, the super model-turned-host said she and her family love the time they spend on the east coast.
"We kind of all move to New York. It's fun. We all have this big hotel room. The children love New York," Heidi continued. "New York is exciting!"
As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, Judge Michael Kors and style mentor Tim Gunn told People that they are both glad to be back in New York City for the new season.
"When you think about it, the walks from Parsons to Mood, you could have 500 inspirations within a minute," Michael said. "The bar is raised. I think the energy level is full-tilt boogie. It's New York. Nothing stops here."
Tim agreed, adding, "I'm thrilled… this is my home. I'm happy I can sleep in my own bed."
The seventh season of "Project Runway" debuts at 10 PM EST on Lifetime with guest judge Nicole Richie.

A 5-day-old New Jersey boy is in critical but stable condition after he stopped breathing suddenly over the weekend, possibly because of a bacterial infection, his parents say.
The boy's grandmother called 911 Saturday afternoon to report the Hopatcong infant appeared jaundiced and "non-reactive," while the child's mother, Andrea Suarez, frantically tried to revive little Maddox.
Suarez said it seemed like a minute later when "Hopatcong police literally kicked my front door open and just took him."
Officer Bob Haffner, who is also an EMT, told NBC 4 New York he couldn't find a pulse. Haffner began to perform CPR and then he and his colleague, Lt. Bob Unhoch, transferred the boy to an ambulance.
Police dispatchers in Hopatcong alerted dispatchers in nearby Roxbury to the emergency, and Roxbury police stationed officers at every intersection on Route 46 on the way to St. Claire's Hospital in Dover.
Maddox's parents say his condition has improved since he was admitted to the hospital, and that doctors are investigating whether he may have a bacterial infection.
Haffner says he was glad to help.
"It's one of those things where you go home that night and you think about it, and you go, 'It worked,'" he said.
Suarez said there are no words to describe her gratitude.

Green Knights Trim Beloit in Midwest Conference Opener
From Sports Information Director, September 10, 2011 | Football
by Dan Lukes, firstname.lastname@example.com, (920) 403-4077
DE PERE - St. Norbert College picked up its 100th Midwest Conference victory during the 13-year tenure of head coach Jim Purtill, winning its 2011 Midwest Conference opener 30-14 over Beloit College at Kolstad Field at Schneider Stadium.
The Green Knights, who are now 100-8 in the MWC since Purtill came aboard in 1999, improved to 1-1 overall. Beloit, who has lost 12 of its last 13 games to St. Norbert, dropped to 0-2 and 0-1 in the MWC.
St. Norbert built a 10-0 after the first quarter. The Green Knights opened scoring on their first possession with a booming 42-yard field goal from Sam Mason which easily cleared the crossbar just 5 minutes 14 seconds into the game. Later in the quarter, Mike Fabrizio hit Brian Fliess on a 54-yard touchdown pass with 2:20 left in the period.
The Green Knights built their lead to 17-0 at halftime when Adam Nitsche scampered 43 yards when he took the direct snap on a fake punt with 3:39 to go before halftime.
St. Norbert took the first possession of the second half 60 yards in five plays for a 23-0 lead. Adam Gruett broke through on a third-and-5 and bolted for a 40-yard touchdown run. The Green Knights bulged to a 30-0 lead when Fabrizio found Logan Krueger in double coverage on a 32-yard strike.
Beloit got on the scoreboard in the fourth quarter with a pair of touchdowns. Brian Maughn hit Derek Carrier on touchdowns of six and 14 yards in the first half of the final period of action.
The St. Norbert defense pounded Maughn most of the game, sacking him seven times for 58 yards in losses. Petr Bohacek had 3 1/2 sacks, Ben Nantell two sacks, Austin Prusha one sack and Dan Hansmann 1/2. The Buccaneers finished with minus-16 yards rushing, the fifth time under Purtill St. Norbert has held an opponent to a negative rushing total. Beloit was also zero for its first 11 third-down conversion attempts.
St. Norbert outgained Beloit 436-274. Gruett rushed 19 times for 151 yards and the Green Knights put up 257 yards rushing on 38 carries. Fabrizio completed 8 of 22 passes for 156 yards and two touchdowns with two interceptions.
Maughn completed 26 of 40 passes for 290 yards with two touchdowns and one interception for the Buccaneers. Carrier finished with 15 receptions for 180 yards and two scores.

Abstract: This paper analyzes the literature that has been published on institutional entrepreneurship since Paul DiMaggio introduced this notion in 1988. Based on a systematic selection and analysis of articles, the paper outlines an emerging consensus on the definition and process of institutional entrepreneurship. It also presents the enabling conditions that have been previously identified and reviews the research methods that have been applied to the study of institutional entrepreneurship. Finally, based on this analysis, this paper highlights future directions for research on this topic. Researchers may use this paper to build targeted and sophisticated research designs that add value to the emerging body of literature on institutional entrepreneurship.

I can see why people find it really appealing to vow that they'll lose weight in the new year. Of course there's the eternal return of the FoBT — "this year is the year I get my new life underway." But there's also the fact that, man alive, is it ever easy to eat a lot over the holidays. Even those of us who are relatively secure with our bodies can end up feeling a little logy, bloated, and sugar-poisoned — I know I do. It's tempting to think of a diet as the ticket to feeling cleansed.
Before you give in, though, check out this BBC News article on why now is actually the worst time to diet. You need your immune system during the winter months even more than usual, and surprise surprise — when you're restricting calories, you can't choose what gets shortchanged. At least in mice, dieting leads to reduced ability to fight off the flu.
The team at Michigan State University found even though the mice on the lower calorie diet received adequate amounts of vitamins and minerals, their bodies were still not able to produce the amount of killer cells needed to fight an infection.
As well as being more likely to die from the virus, the mice – which were consuming around 40% of the calories given to their counterparts on a normal diet – took longer to recover, lost more weight and displayed other symptoms of poor health.
"Our research shows that having a body ready to fight a virus will lead to a faster recovery and less-severe effects than if it is calorically restricted," said study author Professor Elizabeth Gardner.
Hilariously, even though a well-fed body is described as "a body ready to fight a virus," the scientists warn that their results "should not be seen as a carte blanche to avoid dieting all year." Flu season is apparently the only time when you need the ability to fight off infection more than you need to be a pretty pretty princess. Still — thanks, guys, for giving us leave to care more about our health than our weight for four months out of twelve! (It goes without saying, of course, that we here at SP give you carte blanche to avoid dieting all year. We tend to think it's foolish to court a compromised immune system, even in the summer.)

Walsh: Marbury A 'Key Player'With Donnie Walsh in charge of the Knicks, it appears that Stephon Marbury's chances of remaining in the Big Apple just went up.
April 4, 2008 - 6:34 am
New York Post -
According to the New York Post, Marbury is elated to have Walsh in charge, and said that Isiah Thomas was not honest with fans. Walsh wants to meet with both Thomas and Marbury to find out what happened this season.
"I think the hiring of Donnie Walsh is a great move for Mr. Dolan as far as bringing in someone with his experience," Marbury said. "He understands New York being from New York. This is his bloodline. It's a great situation having new blood come in.
"Bringing in someone who's proven himself over a 25-year period is just going to allow everyone to see his pedigree. He's a guy who knows basketball, understands basketball and the best part of it he's from New York. He understands what the fans want."
Walsh said he still considers Marbury a key piece to next season.
Marbury ending contract season makes "Starbury" the Key Player next season even if its just to reduce $20 million on the salary cap.
Especially, with the majority of this season off putting Marbury on the Summer League Team with our Lottery Draft Player and Chandler should build Marbury value up very high to finally trade him for a decent player (alot of teams are looking for PG this offseason).
Or we keep Marbury if he average above 12 assist and co-exist with the young players in all 6 Summer League Games.
It probably will be the first time in Marbury NBA career that he trained with his teammates in the offseason.

Los Angeles has been a phenomenal place to eat for the duration of 2015. In fact, it's been really hard to keep up with everything going on in all parts of the city, but what a great problem to have. Better food is available in more neighborhoods, helping raise the standard of dining out in all parts. Hopefully all parts, anyway. We do have our native Roy Choi, doing what he can to make sure such positive change reaches otherwise forgotten neighborhoods, with his and Daniel Patterson's project, LocaL.
But for all the Fig & Olives of the see-and-be-seen L.A. dining scene, there have been some indisputable favorites of mine to rise to the top. I see 2015 as the year we've surpassed the huffing and puffing about authenticity and what that even means for all the history and diversity we have in this city. It's been exciting to taste how we've moved beyond all that to a place and time where chefs can confidently make their mark using flavors from all over the world as their paintbrushes.
So read on, and get to it. 2016 is just around the corner:

If it's time to pick a wedding ring, that means you've likely got your engagement ring and are probably knee-deep into planning for the big day. Some women prefer to let their engagement ring be their guide when choosing a wedding band and wear them as a pair; others plan on moving their engagement ring to their right hand and want a wedding ring that stands on its own. Whatever your pleasure, here's a little style help to determine your direction.

Time of Poss.
The No. 3-ranked St. Thomas Tommies (4-0 overall, 2-0 MIAC) rolled up 509 yards of offense and outscored the Concordia-Moorhead Cobbers (2-2, 0-2) 48-7 during a mid-game stretch en route to Saturday's 48-30 victory in MIAC football action in Moorhead.
St. Thomas got TDs from six different players and won its 18th consecutive regular-season games. UST converted touchdowns on all five trips in the red zone, went 9-of-12 on third-down conversions, rolled up 26 first downs, and passed for 292 yards.
Senior Dakota Tracy completed 11-of-18 passes for 263 yards, including TDs of 42 yards to Fritz Waldvogel and 56 yards to Dan Noehring. He was sacked just once and had no interceptions.
The Toms are 19-1 with Tracy as a starter at QB. Since mid-October, UST is 22-2, and in those games Tracy has thrown 32 touchdown passes and ran for 12 TDs
Senior RB Colin Tobin, who came into the game with a Division-III best eight rushing TDs, rushed 18 times for 75 yards, including two short touchdown runs. It was his 22nd career game when he's surpassed 70 rushing yards.
The Cobbers scored on a 79-yard TD reception just 90 seconds into the game. But St. Thomas scored on its next three possessions, and built a 28-14 halftime lead. St. Thomas scored two third-quarter TDs to take a 48-14 lead.
Concordia scored 16 fourth-quarter points and closed with 381 total yards. But the Cobbers' potent run game was limited to 52 net yards on 26 rushes. The Tommies have allowed just 143 net rushing yards per game in their 4-0 start.
UST's defense contributed four sacks and interceptions by Chinni Oji and Winter Cullen. Tim Albright converted 6-of-6 PAT kicks, and Garrett Maloney punted just twice but had punts of 69 and 38 yards.
The Cobbers polay next Saturday at Gustavus. St. Thomas returns home to play rival St. John's.

CHICAGO, Ill. (Dec. 5, 2012) – The Chicago Fire Soccer Club announced Wednesday that goalkeeper Sean Johnson will train with English Premier League sides Stoke City from Dec. 5 - 9 and Everton F.C. from Dec. 10 - 23.
"Sean continues to improve and this season demonstrated why he is one of the top goalkeepers in the country," said Fire head coach Frank Klopas. "These opportunities allow for our players to gain additional training and experience at a top level during the MLS offseason."
This is the second consecutive year that Johnson will train with the Toffees. In Dec. 2011, Johnson spent a week training with Everton and U.S. Men's National Team's starting 'keeper Tim Howard and Everton and U.S. Men's National Team goalkeeper coach Chris Woods.
In his third season with the Fire, Johnson appeared in a career-high 31 regular season games for the Men in Red in 2012, accumulating a 16-10-5 record, including five shutouts. Johnson's 1.24 goals against average was the lowest in his three years as a professional. The Lilburn, Ga. native made 108 saves in 2012, including a career-high ten saves against the San Jose Earthquakes July 28.
Johnson, 23, made his international debut for the United States Jan. 22, 2011 against Chile at the Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif. Johnson has been capped twice for the United States and was recently named to the travel squad for the international friendly in Russia Nov. 14.
Johnson is the third Fire player to train abroad this offseason. Defenders Jalil Anibaba and Austin Berry are currently training with Spanish La Liga side Atlético Madrid through Dec. 9.

FS#172 - Re-implement progressive image output
Opened by Christoph Lipka (clipka) - Sunday, 21 November 2010, 10:51 GMT
Last edited by William F Pokorny (wfpokorny) - Thursday, 03 November 2016, 16:27 GMT
With previous versions of POV-Ray, it was possible to turn off display output, but still assess the output during render by viewing the output file as it was progressively generated. This allowed e.g. to run a long render on a remote machine as a background process, and check the output from time to time via FTP or similar.
FS#29 for some earlier discussion.
I'm not supporting that request (in term of priority, at least, it could be never done), but it might be complex to perform progressive output.
Nevertheless, an additional program on the side (yes, a binary) able to use the state-file to display it (or rather an "instant" copy of it or whatever, if FTP is used, as it would still be extended by the renderer) might be a solution.
If we implement the on-disk image file cache as discussed in
FS#170 , this might be a solution, provided that we have a documented standard format in which we store the data. It would however be up to the user to work out which bits have been rendered (unless we build a blockmap into the file).
One alternative is to define a 'native' file format which is POV-specific and contains sequences of raw RGBFT data blocks written to disk in the sequence that they were received from the rendering engine. Each block would have a header indicating x, y, width and height. Unlike other formats we'd write this data as it arrives rather than waiting until the end of a render. (We already have something kind of like this in the .povstate file, but that consists of POVMS messages and would be quite difficult for any third-party code to interpret).
While the suggested native file format would not be usable by any standard image utilities, this still is attractive in some ways as it provides solutions to a number of requests, including continuous output to stdout and enabling post-processing of our full raw rendered data should anyone care to do so, as well as to this bug report (provided a custom utility is used to view or grab the output). It could also be used for #FS170 provided we provided a reader class that pulled in the requisite blocks from the output file when the image writing code asks for it (this could probably be wrapped in transparently).
This may sound like a lot of work for a non-typical requirement (in respect of this particular bug), however I am strongly in favor of doing something because the amount of memory POV currently uses for large renders is really a problem. While I'm not averse to using memory when it's needed, chewing up for example one or two gigs of RAM to cache data that's not required during a render bothers me.
Looks like the auto-on-disk image file cache has been done with beta 40.
All that remains to do ("lol"), is either documenting the format and hope someone will make a generic tools to display the raw file, or write ourself such tool.
Graphic programming can be such a pain for portability, I wonder if we could benefit from some toolkit ? (and which one ?)
(I have a small preference for C++, otherwise some java might be the way to go to provide a ready to run binary)
Would the LGPL be allowed for such toolkit ? (I have some experience with Fox toolkit, which is LGPL)
assuming you are alluding to FS #170, the file written is only a temporary file (it's deleted after the final file is written), contains no meta-data indicating the actual dimensions, and also is in whatever native floating-point format the processor uses. so it's not really useful as-is.
however see my response to FS #180; if Jon is willing to make the effort to write the block-based code suggested, we might be able to extend that to do the above (though it would still need to handle the blocks in the order of render rather than by block number).
yes, fs#170 was alluded.
Idea of the day: the metadata (in fact the x & y dimensions are all we need, right ?) could be written at the very end of the file, as 2 x 8 bytes, when creating the file.
Each 8 bytes would be a 64 bit unsigned long in whatever order (Intel vs Motorola) suits the coder of that pov-patch. (and to be documented)
e.g. : access from external program would be with fseek(.., -16, SEEK_END) + fread(..., 16,1, ...) to get back the picture's dimensions.
With the dimensions & the size of file (-16), it's easy to know the size of pixel data in bytes. writing code able handle the native floating point is part of the challenge, but with the size of each pixel, it is really possible.
A simpler program would easily be able to read the same architecture.
So, nothing is impossible, but feed-back from original poster would be welcome. (at the current state of code, it would be a post-release update, IMHO)
As a frequent user I'll describe my perspective (if this feature is still relevant). A temporary file in a strange format doesn't help at all. In the old version, the file (like partially written png) could be monitored by any standalone image viewer (possibly auto-refreshing) and the image would persist when finished. When povray is called in a loop (common in scientific visualization), the preview windows would just popup all over the place during work. The progressive display allowed to view both complete images and partially rendered with the same existing software of personal choice. Let's not reinvent the wheel.
If I get this correctly, progressive output is problematic with multithreading and depends on the output format? Isn't a good solution to just leave the unrendered parts black (or transparent) and provide optional periodic update of the output file in its proper format?

No, it is problematic because you will have to write the *whole* image over and over. The point of a temporary format is not to "reinvent the wheel" as you put it, but to be able to properly resume a render, which you cannot do with image output formats, period.

Now tracked on github as issue #144.

Grains and oilseeds staged a late day rally off the lows of the day. March corn finished 3 ½ cents higher at $7.24 ¼, March soybeans 1 ¾ cents lower at $14.35 ¼ (20 cents above the daily low), and March wheat 6 ¼ cents lower at $7.68 ½.
The early weakness was attributed to additional rains added to the Argentine forecast on the GFS model. The USDA announced the sale of 510,000 MTs of new crop soybeans to China and 113,000 MTs to "unknown destinations". These sales helped the November 2013 contract settle higher on the day. Old crop soybeans were hard pressed for support until the very end of the trading session. Much of the weakness was blamed on reports of reduced crush margins in China.
The EIA ethanol data was better than last week but not necessarily "bullish". We believe old crop corn needs to continue to ration feed demand and will find support on setbacks like today. The December 1st stocks were low enough in our opinion to hold prices at least until the South American production becomes available. We are more concerned about the price of new crop as we believe both corn and soybeans will secure additional acres this year. Until we get through March 1st, guaranteed revenue from crop insurance is still unknown which means the next 25-30 days will be your biggest risk for those who rely on crop insurance as a main source of hedging. If you are caught up to the current EHedger recommended sale levels we believe this is adequate coverage for this timeframe. If you still need to place these hedges please contact us to go over some short term hedging strategies to get you through the Spring Federal Crop Insurance price-setting. To receive the EHedger producer recommendations please sign up for a free trial by clicking here.
Wheat is still having a hard time sustaining rallies despite the competitive US pricing in the world market. The record low winter wheat conditions this fall and the ongoing dryness may provide the necessary support into the spring. Tomorrow's sales report will be the next directional indicator to watch.

On Jan. 1, 1943, Robert Gene Baker arrived in Washington at the height of World War II to become a Senate page. Two decades later, this son of a mailman from Pickens, S.C., had become the reigning Washington wheeler-dealer and fixer of his day as secretary to the Senate's Democratic majority. In the era of President John F. Kennedy's New Frontier, Baker was indispensable on Capitol Hill: The Man Who Knew Too Much.
Exactly 50 years ago this fall, in the face of a widening official investigation into his private business dealings and vivid social life—an inquiry that threatened to engulf the Kennedy White House in a sex scandal and destroy Baker's political patron, Vice President Lyndon Johnson—Baker drank four martinis at lunch and impulsively resigned his post. He had been as close as a son to Johnson, privy to the vice president's deepest secrets. On Friday, Nov. 22, 1963, the tragedy of Kennedy's assassination short-circuited the Baker investigation, and spared Johnson career-ending ignominy.
Story Continued Below
Still, prosecutors eventually caught up with Baker, if not his patron, and he ended up serving 18 months in prison on federal tax evasion charges. In 1978, he co-wrote Wheeling and Dealing, a rollicking memoir with Larry L. King, best known as the author of the musical The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.
But Baker in recent years quietly recorded an even more unvarnished account of his anything-goes-era in Washington, which Politico Magazine now publishes for the first time. His recollections—of an age when senators drank all day, indulged in sexual dalliances with secretaries and constituents, accepted thousands of dollars in bribes and still managed to pass the most important legislation of the 20th century—were collected by Donald Ritchie of the Senate Historical Office in interviews with Baker in 2009 and 2010. The resulting 230-page manuscript was so ribald and riveting, so salacious and sensational, that the Historical Office refrained from its usual practice of posting such interviews online.
Today, Baker is alive and well and living in Florida, managing the successful real estate investments that he somehow retained through his darkest days. Earlier this month, he turned 85. In the reminiscences that follow, he offers indelible proof that the good old days were not always good: One senator died with $2 million in unexplained cash; another took a $200,000 payment to switch his vote; some showed up for work drunk. But he also explains the ways in which the old days might well have offered a better model than the present for how to do business on Capitol Hill: his was really a time when senators knew and respected each other, and bipartisan cooperation was the norm. It's a close question whether the sanctioned immorality of 50 years ago was worse for the legislative process than the codified corruption of today. Readers, be the judge. But harken, meantime, to the words of perhaps the last living man who saw it all.
What follows, in quotes, are Baker's recollections; the author's notes are in italics.
"My first impression was when I saw all of the soldiers with their bayonets guarding the Capitol. It scared [the] hell out of me because I had never been 50 miles beyond Pickens when I came to Washington on a bus…I tell you, for a hillbilly from South Carolina, I could not believe the grandeur of the Capitol and Washington…
Baker on the patron who had brought him to Washington, Sen. Burnett Maybank (D-S.C.).
"He was very, very kind. …He had one weakness. He had to have about a half a tumbler of bourbon when he woke up in the morning. He died, I think, when he was about 51…" 1
and Sen. Clyde Hoey (D-N.C.)…
"Senator Hoey used to wear a swallowtail coat. The secretaries used to call me in the cloakroom because back then we always got paid in cash, twice a month. They'd say, 'Is that old son of a bitch out there by the water fountain?' Because what he would do, when a pretty girl would come by, he'd call her over and then he would try to play with her breasts." 2
Baker on meeting Lyndon Johnson, who would become his mentor—though the relationship began a bit the other way around, as Johnson sought advice from the 20-year-old after his election to the Senate in 1948.
"I was a skinny little boy, I weighed about 120 pounds. He weighed about 280. So when [Johnson's aide] John Connally took me in to introduce me to Senator-elect Johnson, Johnson jumped up and he said, 'Mr. Baker, they tell me you're the smartest son of a bitch over there.' I said, 'Well, whoever told you that lied.' I said, 'I know all of the staff on our side. I know who the drunks are. And I know whose word is good.' He said, 'You're the man I want to know.' So we became great friends…"
By the time of Johnson's arrival, Baker had already become the Democrats' "chief telephone page," responsible for tracking action on the Senate floor and being able to tell inquiring Senate aides whether their bosses were needed for a vote. He came to know all the Senate's byways and personalities, including the secretary to the Democratic majority, Felton "Skeeter" Johnston, a laconic Mississippian. Like other pages, who boarded full-time on Capitol Hill, Baker would attend school each morning before the Senate day began.
"Skeeter had an alcohol problem, but back then the Senate didn't go in session until 12 o'clock, so I'd get out of class [in the page school] around 12, be back to the Senate around 12:20. After then, I was basically in charge of what was happening, because he loved being in the Secretary of the Senate's office, which was a fabulous bar for Democratic senators." 3
In 1953, when Johnson became the Senate's Democratic floor leader, he promoted Baker to the post of secretary to the majority. The two collaborated so intimately that Baker became known as "Little Lyndon" and operated as Johnson's eyes and ears. After Johnson's 1955 heart attack — which involved prolonged absences for recuperation — Baker's counsel became all the more important. As the years went by, he became the Senate's leading expert at counting votes. He explained the importance of getting to know members in relaxed, after-hours settings.
"They let their hair down when they've had a few drinks, tell you their likes and dislikes, and you file it away. You find out who likes to take trips around the world, and then you try to repay those who voted against their conscience to help you. Senator Johnson was very adept at taking care of senators and their wishes, and the bills that they wanted…"
We had these sofas and chairs, and there's the mirror where … Kennedy said, 'God, why did you make me so beautiful?'"
Friendships — and employment relationships — stretched across the partisan divide, as Baker recalled of his first acquaintance with Richard Nixon. In 1949, Baker had married Dorothy Comstock, a secretary to Senator Scott Lucas (D-Ill.), but she left that job for a better-paying one with Nixon after his election to the Senate in 1950.
"I knew him when he was first elected to the Senate. He had a lovely wife and two pretty daughters. My wife went on his payroll, because he had a surplus of cash from his California campaign. The Senate Sergeant at Arms kept a list of people who knew the Hill, and he recommended my wife to Senator Nixon's secretary, Rose Wood[s]. She worked there until I was in law school and needed more money, and Senator [Pat] McCarran's [D-Nev.] administrative assistant, Eva Adams, gave my wife a fat raise, and she resigned from Senator Nixon's staff.
"Especially at the beginning of the Eisenhower administration, I would see Mr. [Roy] Wilkins and all of the lobbyists for the NAACP in and out of Vice President Nixon's little old office right off the Senate floor. He was really courting them. And they were ready to make a deal, because he was much, much more liberal on the Negro question than the Democrats were. For the life of me, I do not understand how he wound up with so much hate, dislike—he didn't like Jews, he didn't like anybody…" 4
Baker recalled the power of lobbyists to influence issues, recounting an exchange with the long-serving Senate Republican Leader Everett Dirksen (R-Ill.)…
"One time Senator Dirksen called me down to his office. … He had… the right-wing bomb-throwers [assembled there]. Senator Dirksen started off by saying, 'Mr. Baker, you are the best vote-counter in the history of the Senate. Will you tell my colleagues how many votes you have on this issue?' I said, 'Mr. Leader, I have 40 votes on my side and 12 votes on your side.' They said, 'Goddamn you! How can you have 12 votes on our side?' I said, 'Well, my lobbyist friend from the Railway Union, Cy Anderson, showed me his sheet. He secured vote pledges from the following…' I'd go down the list. They said, 'Those bastards!' They were really upset. Dirksen said, 'Take another drink. Let's go get a unanimous consent agreement and have a long weekend.' That's the way he worked. … Dirksen became a wonderful friend. I mean, had it not been for Senator Dirksen, the [1964 Civil Rights Act and the 1965] Voting Rights Act would never have passed…. So I'll tell you, I have great admiration for him…. He never saw a $100 bill he didn't like." 5
She said, 'Lyndon, I need some advice.' She said, 'Styles has got $2 million in cash here and I don't know how to handle it.'"
Asked how he went about counting heads, Baker offered the following explanation….
"Well, basically I knew a senator's position or leanings, whether a senator was a conservative or a liberal. Basically, they don't deviate from that. If you have 30 liberals and 20 conservatives, you have it. One of the few times I did not know how the vote was going to turn out was when President Kennedy was seeking Medicare. I did not learn until later why Senator Jennings Randolph [D-W.Va.] voted against it. Senator [Robert] Kerr, [a Democrat from Oklahoma, and a wealthy oil magnate] had made a deal with the doctors in Oklahoma to kill Medicare. He was just adamant in his opposition to Medicare. Now, Senator Jennings Randolph was a wonderful senator. … Ninety-nine times out of 100, I knew how he was going to vote. … But he would never tell me how he was going to vote on President Kennedy's Medicare bill. … But Senator Kerr gave him $200,000 for that vote. It shows you that money can talk." 6
Baker explained the method used by Walter Reuther, the longtime head of the United Autoworkers Union, to get cash to senators at a time when unions were barred from making political contributions.
"He had to be very careful with cash money that came to his union in the United States. But he had no such rule in Canada. So as a consequence, Walter Reuther, probably because of his cash contributions, had a minimum of 20 senators that would vote any way he wanted. … He bought more United States Senate seats than anybody in my life. I'm telling you, it was unreal for Senator Ted Moss [D-Utah] or Gale McGee [D- Wyo.], coming from basically Republican territory, to get elected. Because Walter Reuther gave money. But boy, when I needed to get them to help on a vote, if Walter Reuther called them, I could never change them." 7
Baker believed cash for votes was not limited to the Senate, recounting how Rein Vander Zee, an aide to Hubert Humphrey, had described Humphrey's famous loss to JFK in the West Virginia Democratic presidential primary in 1960.
"Vander Zee, until his dying day, said that Humphrey would have defeated Kennedy … had it not been for that massive cash old man Joe [Kennedy] bought the election with. Ryan, being an ex-FBI man, had every sheriff in each of those counties committed to voting for Humphrey. And, boy, when Election Day came, it was total news to him. They changed on Thursday before the Tuesday. Vander Zee said, 'They wouldn't even return my call.''' 8
…and he described the challenge of getting Robert F. Kennedy confirmed as attorney general in his brother's administration…
"The President had said, 'Lyndon, I need your help,' because Senator [Richard] Russell [D-Ga.] and the Republicans were solid against Bobby being attorney general. He had really no legal experience. Johnson said [to me], 'If the president is defeated by my supporters, it's a terrible, terrible, can't do situation for me.' He said. 'See what you can do with our mutual friend Senator Russell, because if you get enough bourbon in him, he gets more reasonable.' So I took him out to the secretary of the Senate's office and I said, 'Your best friend loves you and he called me and he needs your help and will you please let me have a voice vote?' And he said, most reluctantly, 'You can have a voice vote.' And Senator Dirksen, being a decent man, let it go through that way. But had it had a roll-call vote, Bobby Kennedy would have never been attorney general. He would have been lucky to get 40 votes. That's how the Senate that I knew thought of him." 9
Russell was the most revered—and feared — senator of his day. But his staunch segregationist views and implacable opposition to civil rights legislation made him anathema to the national Democratic Party…
"Being from Georgia and being much more conservative than the Democratic Party, there was no chance that he would take any position. Had he conceded that the South lost the Civil War, and after the Brown v. Board of Education had he stated that our customs in the South are totally different, but if you'll go with me, we'll start in kindergarten and we'll integrate, he would have been president. He actually could have been president and he wanted to be president. But civil rights killed him, and that's all he knew, Rule 22 [the filibuster rule.]"

EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (Blugolds.com) – Behind a strong rushing performance for the UW-Eau Claire football team, the Blugolds defeated UW-La Crosse 24-9 at Carson Park today.
The Blugolds compiled 285 rushing yards, their most since a 369-yard total on Sept. 20, 2008 against Hope College (Mich.). In the first quarter alone, Eau Claire had 151 yards on 23 rushes. Joel Sweeney (Jr.-Tomah, Wis.) led the game with 185 rushing yards, the second largest amount he has accumulated in his career.
In today's game, the Blugolds built a 17-0 lead by the second quarter. Sweeney scored two touchdowns, one in the first quarter and one in the second quarter, while Josh Albrecht (Sr.-Eau Claire, Wis./North) hit a 34-yard field goal at the beginning of the second quarter.
While Eau Claire jumped out to a 17-0 lead, La Crosse cut the Blugolds' lead to 14 points after nailing a 21-yard field goal with two minutes left before the half, and the score was 17-3 at halftime. Eau Claire held a 20:51 to 9:09 advantage in time of possession in the first half, including a 12:30 to 2:30 margin in the first quarter alone.
In the third quarter, La Crosse took its third drive of the half 37 yards to the end zone to get to within eight points. The score remained 17-9 after Nate Johnson (Sr.-Madison, Wis./La Follette) blocked the Eagles' extra point attempt.
In the final quarter, the Eagles had the ball and on the very first play, fumbled, and Eau Claire's Sean Graham (Jr.-Hales Corners, Wis./Whitnall) recovered. The Blugolds then drove 37 yards to the end zone with Sweeny scoring his third touchdown on the day, and after an Albrecht extra point, Eau Claire took a 24-9 lead, which held up to the end. Sweeny has scored three touchdowns four times in his career.
On the defensive side of the ball, Tyler Janus (Sr.-Sussex, Wis./Hamilton), who led the Blugolds with eight tackles, had one interception while Cody Gergen (Jr.-Lakeville, Minn./South) and Nick Slade (Sr.-St. Cloud, Minn./Tech) forced fumbles. Graham and Nevin Smith (So.-Edgar, Wis.) each recovered fumbles.
Eau Claire is now 2-4 on the season and 2-1 in the WIAC. La Crosse drops to 2-4 overall and 1-2 in conference play.
Next up, the Blugolds will be at UW-Stevens Point on Saturday, Oct. 20. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m.

If you're a student of fat - and who isn't these days? - you know that the FTO gene is the gene thought to be most responsible for some people's inherited propensity to become obese. Well, forget that.
A multinational group of geneticists has discovered that, more likely, the real obesity gene is named IRX3, and it is very far from the FTO gene - or would be, if DNA were to be stretched out in linear fashion instead of coiled up like a skein of yarn.
In a letter posted Wednesday to the website of the journal Nature, University of Chicago geneticists Scott Smemo and Marcelo A. Nobrega, along with a team of Canadian and Spanish researchers, wrote that geneticists hunting for the obesity gene appear to have fallen into a trap: They assumed that genetic variations they could see have only local effects, and do not affect the workings of far-away genes.
Geneticists had designated the FTO gene the key obesity gene merely because it neighbored some oft-seen obesity-related genetic variations in the "intron," the 70% of DNA once thought to be "junk," because genes there don't code for protein production.
Instead, Smemo and Nobrega's team conducted a series of experiments that showed that the obesity-related "single nucleotide polymorphisms," or SNPs, seen in the intron may not even act on the FTO gene - or at least not only on the FTO gene. The SNPs that most often make mice and humans alike gain too much weight act on the IRX3 gene: When these genetic variations switch on the IRX3 gene, mice become chubby, have less "brown" fat (which helps burn up white fat) and have poorer metabolic function.
The group also discerned that IRX3 expressed itself in the brain's hypothalamus, a key node in the brain's hunger-and-satiety circuitry. It was also found in organs and fat cells, suggesting it may play a role in metabolism as well. When the IRX3 gene was activated, mice and people were likelier to be obese, and to have diabetes. When mice were bred without the IRX3 gene, they were lean, even when fed a high fat diet.
Nobrega said that scientists had begun to question whether FTO was the gene regulated by the SNPs they routinely found in the obese, in part because people born with a genetic deletion of the FTO gene have lots of problems, but obesity isn't one of them.
The discovery that genes in that thick forest of gene regulators known as the intron can act on genes very far away from them will make geneticists think twice before they make assumptions about the relationship of neighboring genes to one another.
As for what this finding means for the treatment of obesity, Nobrega said that the study of such genetic interactions would help illuminate how diseases such as obesity and type 2 diabetes take root and progress. Someday that may offer targets for the development of drugs or other therapies, "but this is way down the road," he said.

Philip Rivers found plenty of open wide receivers against the Houston Texans' pass defense on Sunday.
The NFL's leading passer threw four touchdowns against the league's worst pass defense, and the San Diego Chargers earned their first road win of the season in beating the Houston Texans 29-23.
San Diego tight end Antonio Gates, the NFL's third-leading receiver, was inactive with a torn plantar fascia in his right foot. Rivers hardly missed him, using eight different receivers.
The top sports headlines of the day
Rivers completed 17 of 23 passes for 295 yards. He came in with 2,649 yards passing, an NFL record through the first eight games.
Rookie Seyi Ajirotutu and backup tight end Randy McMichael caught two touchdown passes apiece. Ajirotutu was just moved up to the active roster on Oct. 23, when linebacker Kion Wilson went on injured reserve.
The Chargers (4-5) head into their bye week on their first two-game winning streak of the season.
Arian Foster rushed 27 times for 127 yards and two touchdowns for the Texans (4-4), who've dropped three of their past four home games.
The Texans twice failed on fourth down in the second half in blowing a 23-14 lead.
McMichael's second TD catch cut the lead to 23-21 with 5:55 left in the third quarter, and the Chargers stuffed Foster on a fourth-and-1 from the 17 early in the final quarter.
Rookie Kareem Jackson has taken much of the blame for the Texans' 32nd-ranked pass defense, but he intercepted Rivers' pass to Ajirotutu near midfield with about 12 minutes left.
Rivers atoned on the next possession, throwing over Jackson for a 28-yard touchdown pass to Ajirotutu with 5:23 left. Mike Tolbert jumped over the pile for a 2-point conversion to give San Diego a 29-23 lead.
The Texans' offense stalled twice in San Diego territory in the final five minutes.
Referee Mike Carey flagged Matt Schaub for intentional grounding on a pass on third down, backing up Houston to the Chargers 48. Tight end Joel Dreessen caught a 13-yard pass and slid down just short of the marker and San Diego stopped Schaub's sneak attempt on fourth-and-1.
The Texans used their timeouts and forced a punt. Foster took a screen pass and gained 33 yards to the San Diego 39 just before the two-minute warning.
On second down, the usually sure-handed Andre Johnson couldn't handle Schaub's pass, and the ball ricocheted off his knee and into the hands of safety Paul Oliver. Officials upheld the interception after a replay review, and Rivers kneeled down to run out the clock.
The Chargers improved to 4-0 against the Texans after starting the game with the kind of special teams blunders that have hurt them all season.
Oliver caught the opening kickoff and inexplicably stepped out of bounds at the San Diego 4. Texans linebacker Stanford Keglar then deflected Mike Scifres' punt, and Houston recovered at the Chargers 8.
It was the fifth San Diego punt blocked or deflected this season, and Foster scored on the next snap.
Ajirotutu then sprinted past Jackson on a 55-yard touchdown pass from Rivers, the eighth reception covering more than 40 yards this season against Houston's secondary.
After Neil Rackers kicked a 27-yard field goal, Rivers caught a lateral from Darren Sproles and found backup tight end Kris Wilson for a 37-yard gain. Rivers threw an 11-yard TD pass to McMichael, and San Diego took a 14-10 lead.
Ryan Mathews fumbled near midfield early in the second quarter, and Glover Quin recovered for Houston. It was the Chargers' AFC-leading 20th turnover and only the third fumble recovery for the Texans this season.
Foster finished that drive with a 2-yard touchdown run. He rushed for 99 yards in the first half, but had an apparent TD catch nullified by review in the final minute.
Foster seemed to control Schaub's pass on third down, but the ball fell out of his hand as he tumbled into the end zone. Rackers kicked a 21-yard field goal just before halftime, and a 25-yarder early in the third quarter for a 23-14 lead.

An eating disorder is not a lifestyle choice. An eating disorder is a serious and often fatal illnesses that causes serious disturbances to a person's eating behaviors, physical health, and relationships. Obsessions with food, body weight, and shape may also signal an eating disorder. The sooner someone struggling with this illness, or displaying behaviors and attitudes consistent with these disorders, can get connected to help, the better. Common eating disorders include anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge-eating disorder. As with any illness or psychological disorder, these problems will not go away on their own; without clinical support they often only escalate dangerously.

I work with compulsive/emotional eaters to get to an understanding of what feelings are hiding underneath the eating behavior. Knowing about the feelings and finding other ways to deal with them is key to stopping the compulsive eating. In Compulsive Eating workshops, I use Geneen Roth's anti-dieting approach. This is about using certain behavioral tools to change eating habits. For example, not eating in the car or not eating standing up. Each person's journey through this struggle is unique and I will offer you my guidance and understanding as well as a sociological approach to how the diet and fashion industries brainwash women into hating their bodies.
