A milestone was passed on Thursday, though many people did not hear about it and many who did in all likelihood shrugged their shoulders and thought: "But what can I do?"
Thursday was Earth Overshoot day, the day each year by when it is estimated that Earth's annual supply of renewable natural resources have been used up and the planet has reached its capacity to absorb carbon — in simpler terms, the day when demands on resources surpass nature's ability to produce them.
That means that for the rest of the year, humanity is driving the Earth into the red, with the planet unable to absorb the carbon dioxide and other wastes produced. We are ecologically bankrupt.
The idea of an "Earth overshoot day," or "ecological debt day" was conceived by Andrew Simms when he was working for the British think tank the New Economics Foundation. To determine when the day will arrive each year, the multinational Global Footprint Network think tank compares the demands made on global resources with the planet's ability to replenish those resources and absorb the wastes produced.
It divides the Earth's biocapacity — the amount of land and water that can produce renewable resources and absorb carbon dioxide emissions — by its so-called "ecological footprint" — the amount of land and water needed to meet the demand for resources and waste disposal — and then multiplies that number by the number of days in a calendar year, 365.
The first time the world became an ecological debtor was Dec. 29, 1970. However, since 2001, our overdraft rate has been increasing by two to three days a year, meaning that each year overshoot day comes earlier than the year before. It takes the Earth a year-and-a-half to regenerate what is used up in a year.
According to the network's estimates, more than 80 percent of people live in countries that use up more resources than their ecosystems can renew. Some of the biggest overspenders identified by the network come as no surprise — the US and China, but others do — Japan and Qatar. It takes the equivalent of two USs to sustain the US' annual ecological footprint, and two-and-a-half Chinas to support that nation. It takes more than seven Japans to support Japan and almost six Qatars to support itself, while the UK needs three-and-a-half UKs and Italy requires four of itself. If everyone in the world consumed like the US population, it would take four Earths' worth of resources to support us every year.
Unfortunately, as with many global surveys, Taiwan is not included in the Global Footprint Network's calculations, but that does not mean we should not be thinking of ways to reduce our ecological footprint. We have seen the devastation that can be caused by typhoons and tropical storms when deforestation robs mountainsides of their ability to absorb water; in recent years water shortages have led to restrictions for farmers, industries and households. Kinmen's water shortage is growing so acute that a pipeline from China has been seriously considered, though the more we learn about the conditions of China's water resources, the less appealing that idea should be.
We are aware of what happens if we spend more than we earn — both as individuals and as nations. The media have been filled for many months about the financial crises in Greece and elsewhere. Taiwan's fiscal problems are not on that scale, but they are increasing. Earlier this month the Cabinet released its preliminary budget proposal for next year that would see a shortfall of NT$273.9 billion (US$9.15 billion), almost 26 percent more than this year's deficit.

The San Francisco 49ers have locked up their first-round pick.
The Niners announced Thursday they have reached a four-year deal with defensive back Jimmie Ward, selected 30th overall in this month's draft. The team also signed linebacker Chris Borland, the second of a trio of third-round selections by the team, to a four-year pact.
NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported that the deal is worth over $7 million. Last year's No. 30 pick, St. Louis Rams linebacker Alec Ogletree, signed a four-year, $7.03 million contract that included a $3.492 million signing bonus. Expect Ward to receive a similar pact.
The 49ers have now struck deals with nine of their 12 draft picks.
The latest "Around The League Podcast" breaks down all the news and begins the search for the new Team of ATL.

Lahm: Klinsmann doesn't do tactics
Bayern Munich defender Philipp Lahm has hit out at former coach Jurgen Klinsmann, claiming that he left it up to players to sort out tactics.
Klinsmann, 47, took over at Bayern in 2008, two years after leaving his role with German national side having taken them to the semi-finals of the 2006 World Cup. The former striker did not enjoy success in the Bundesliga though and was sacked with five games still to be played, as Wolfsburg went on to claim the title.
Now, Lahm has revealed in a serialisation of his autobiography 'Der feine Unterschied - Wie man heute Spitzenfussballer wird' [The fine line - How to become a top professional] which goes on sale next week, that Klinsmann's style of management was unusual.
"The experiment with Klinsmann was a failure. We were only working on our fitness in training. He didn't care much for tactical stuff," he wrote. "It was up to the players to come together before a match and discuss how we were going to play.
''All the players knew after about eight weeks that it was not going to work out with Klinsmann. The remainder of that campaign was nothing but limiting the damage."
Klinsmann was recently announced as new coach of the USA national team, taking over from Bob Bradley.

Katherine Lawrence's Recipes:
This stew was inspired by a vacation - it was time to clear out the fridge, stoke up on immune boosting beta-carotene, and have left-overs in the freezer for a hearty meal when returning.
Main Course
This dish is the ultimate in comfort food and perfect for holiday gatherings. The walnuts offer texture while the tomato and spices bring it all together. Use collard greens as a substitution for cabbage.
What's better than an edible container? These hollowed tomatoes are a perfect vessel for a refreshing lentil salad. Bell pepper and celery add a nice crunch to the creamy lentils.
This smoothie makes me miss my days of growing up in Louisiana. This recipe makes a large batch, which is enough to enjoy the next day.
Smoothies are a delicious way to add healthful fruits to your diet. Frozen berries can be purchased at most supermarkets and natural food stores. For a thick smoothie that can be eaten with a spoon, use the minimum amount of soy milk necessary for blending; if you prefer a thinner smoothie, simply add a bit more.
Try this healthy version of your childhood favorite.
Although this compote is perfect during summer when peaches and strawberries are in season, it is actually delicious any time of year if frozen fruit is used.
A very flavorful way to enjoy this high protein seed.
Side Dish
The garlic in this tangy salad contains a potent cancer-fighter called allicin, which has been shown to help the body eliminate carcinogens and slow the growth of cancer cells. Serve this salad with wedges of fresh pita bread for a very satisfying meal.
Side Dish
These are the most delicious mashed potatoes, and they're nearly fat free. The garlic in this recipe adds flavor and many health benefits. Garlic contains two main medicinal compounds - allicin and diallyl sulfides - which can help boost the immune system.

It's not easy to make themed cakes. Spend any time online, and you'll quickly become jaded from seeing all the amazing desserts. But don't be!
Chinese site RenRen.com has a funny story about someone who decided to buy a cute panda cake online. The result was horrific (you can see it in the above gallery). Others shared awful looking cakes that had been purchased online—truly awful looking ones.
Of course, there are many Chinese bakeries with elaborate and amazing cakes! It just seems that there are some unscrupulous online bakers who are doing the old switcheroo—with unintentionally hilarious results.
The promised Charmander cake, for example, seemed pretty darn cool—and imaginative. The one that was delivered, however, was, well. Yeah.
There are also some pretty awful looking character cakes!
What about you? Have you ever purchased or made an awful looking cake? Hit us up in the comments.

(CNN) -- As wedding season gears up this month, the words "in sickness and in health" and "till death do us part" will lie at the heart of many vows.
For couples who are facing a terminal illness, these promises are a bittersweet reminder of the limits of time; gratitude for the days and months they have, ache for those they might not.
On June 1, residents of Illinois will witness their state's first day of marriage equality, but for Pat Ewert, 66, the day's expressions of love will be tempered by a slight pang as she watches many of her friends lawfully unite.
"I don't have that person to celebrate with. It's painful, but I'm so happy for all my friends," Ewert says.
On November 27, 2013, Ewert and Vernita Gray, her partner of five years and one of Chicago's most steadfast gay rights activists, were granted an expedited marriage license by a federal judge. It was the state's first legally recognized same-sex marriage, and there was a purpose to the haste: Gray's breast cancer had metastasized in her sternum and eventually, her brain.
"These two women, who have loved and cared for each other in good times and bad, through sickness and through health, will get to know what it means to be married," Camilla Taylor, Marriage Project director for Lambda Legal, an LGBT rights organization, said in a statement shortly after the decision.
For Ewert and Gray, marriage is and was the ultimate display of commitment.
"It was weird for me to start using 'wife,'" Ewert says. "There is a real difference."
Gray passed away on March 19, 2014, at the age of 65 -- just shy of the couple's four-month wedding anniversary.
Ewert says the marriage ceremony was a moment of pure, unbridled joy that had been a long time coming (the couple had been engaged since Christmas 2009), but that they had always been "just a couple of little old ladies who live in a condo in Chicago" with the wish that "at some point, people will get that we're just another couple."
"[She's] the first thing that I think about when I wake up, and the last thing at night," Ewert says of her late wife.
Caring for both parties
Diana Denholm, a psychotherapist, wrote the book "The Caregiving Wife's Handbook," after her personal life and professional expertise overlapped. Her own husband, John Sammond, was diagnosed with colon cancer, then congestive heart failure.
Her husband received his diagnosis in 1994, one month into their engagement, along with the information that he was facing a 20% survival rate.
"It's a big decision, and it's not an easy decision. I know after my husband got his diagnosis, he let me out of saying 'yes,'" Denholm says.
But she walked down the aisle, and took care of Sammond until the time of his death 11½ years later on January 31, 2006.
Since then, she's devoted her professional career to helping people understand the realities of the day-to-day while partners navigate terminal illness. It might include issues of intimacy, household management or most importantly, the well partner's own self-care.
Denholm says it's primarily important to manage expectations of how hands-on the healthy spouse will be in the caretaking, for instance, if they will quit their job and focus on caretaking full-time.
"I can't stress that enough, and if you don't, then you're in it," Denholm says.
There's also guilt and denial: Guilt of being vilified if the relationship doesn't work out while one partner remains sick, and the guilt of "why them, not me," if it does.
Ewert readily admits she was in denial until Gray's final moments. Gray had survived breast cancer before, and Ewert was sure she could again.
"I told her she owed me another 19 years. You owe me more," Ewert recalls telling Gray, despite Gray admitting this time was different.
"Some of that [denial] is good. If we went into everything with a horrible outlook, that wouldn't be helpful," psychotherapist Denholm says.
Beyond that, Denholm explains, it's important to understand the concept of enabling; the healthy spouse often feels the need to do every single task, turning the sick person into an invalid. If it's something the afflicted person can manage, let them do it. It's about collaboration, not animosity.
When the relationship becomes more like that of a parent and child, intimacy is lost, she says.
Denholm stresses that physical affection and connection may no longer be expressed as "intercourse" in the sense most people understand it; it could just mean lying next to the person, gently holding their hand or massaging them.
"Intimacy can remain until the very end, and in some ways the intimacy can strengthen," she says.
Even though that's helpful for the couple on their journey, someone is eventually left behind to go it alone.
"No matter how prepared you are for when they die, it's always painful when they die," Denholm says.
'Hanging on a moment'
Jeffrey Lang just celebrated what would have been his wife's 36th birthday at her favorite gelato shop. For him, the wound is still raw.
"A lot of people say, 'You'll get over it.' I don't want to. I want to get on with it, but with this being a huge part of what has shaped my life and love now, I will always honor that," Lang said in an e-mail this week.
Lang married Jen Bulik-Lang in July 2013. She was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer in December 2012, but had recently been told that even after five months of treatments, continuing treatment would not help her prognosis.
The couple decided it was now or never.
Their wedding captivated the national media after an event planner, Erica Becks, got local vendors to step up and create their dream ceremony -- all the way down to a New Orleans' style Second Line.
The couple's first dance was to an acoustic version of Lady Gaga's "Edge of Glory."
"That line -- 'hanging on a moment with you' -- that's what we're doing right now. We really don't know what's next. Even though we got this bad news, we're not letting that defeat us, we're still on that edge of glory," Lang told CNN in August right after their wedding.
"I'm choosing to live and be part of his life for how long forever is," Bulik-Lang said at the time.
Bulik-Lang passed away in their Mountain View, California, home three months later on October 12, 2013.
"Jen said to me once, 'I'm not afraid, I'm just sad' and we lived it that way," Lang says now, seven months after her passing. "We knew we would miss it if it was gone, so we made the most of every minute."
Lang says that not having a future dictated their outlook on life, and it is how he continues to live.
"I don't see accomplishments and money as the prime drivers of my day-to-day life. I love, and I have relationships that are deep and meaningful, I go out of my way to make that happen," he says.
A wedding wish
Wedding planner Liz Guthrie always cherished the "special day," but she didn't quite know how special it could be to couples facing serious health problems until she began organizing a dream wedding giveaway in 2009 to couples who had endured some sort of hardship.
More than 400 applicants applied, and Guthrie noticed many had a common theme: Limited time together.
From there, she founded Wish Upon A Wedding, a nonprofit devoted to providing weddings and vow renewals to couples who are facing terminal illness. The organization is now working on its 65th wedding wish.
"The ceremony itself is so important to so many people," Guthrie says.
Tina and Lance Martin of St. Louis were granted their ceremony by the organization on June 27, 2011. When the couple first met, Tina was undergoing chemotherapy for stage 4 non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Tina's chemotherapy treatments ended in February 2009, and she is now five years in remission.
Shortly before their engagement in March 2011, Lance was himself diagnosed with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, a kidney disease that results in renal failure if not treated regularly with dialysis or, more permanently, a transplant.
Medical details and prognosis limits did not define their wedding day. Their moments -- however many they had left -- were at the core of the celebration.
Now, three years later, their story is still being written.
"Getting married to the love of my life is the greatest blessing," Tina says. "It was nice not to have to think about medical and health problems during this time, and we were able to focus on something bigger and better-- our marriage."
"Every day is a struggle, but we have one goal in mind," she says. "Happily ever after."

Does bossing your gadgets around make you feel like a big man? If so, you will love the Figura. It vacuums, waxes floors, and you can verbally abuse it to your heart's content.
Like the Roomba, it works autonomously—but you can order the Figura around with verbal commands like "clean up" or "get out of the way." Plus, the ability to wax floors makes it useful for people who have ditched carpet in favour of hardwood. A price has not been disclosed, but Japanese customers should be able to pick one up staring in April of 2009. [BotJunkie]

The Center for International Development at Harvard University
As global investors who manage funds for clients from around the world, Investec Asset Management is committed to identifying and understanding the drivers of economic growth and competitiveness. To this end, the Institute is supporting new research being pioneered by the Center for International Development at Harvard University.
The Center's ground-breaking research has identified Economic Complexity – and in particular the role and extent of productive knowledge – as a primary driver of economic growth. The theory and supporting empirical evidence explains why the accumulation of productive knowledge is the key to sustained economic growth. The theories help us understand which countries are best poised for economic growth, how countries can acquire and enhance their productive knowledge, and which industries and sectors are likely to appear or disappear over the long term in any given country.
In addition to its support for the underlying research, Investec Asset Management is also funding the development of The Atlas online, the website for the published The Atlas of Economic Complexity: Mapping Paths to Prosperity, an interactive tool that creates a visual narrative of the data. The insights from this research provide a new source of information for government policy making and for identifying long-term growth and investment prospects.
For more information on the research on Economic Complexity, download this briefing note or watch this video clip by Professor Ricardo Hausmann, the Director of the Center for International Development.
The International Crisis Group
The International Crisis Group is widely recognised as the world's leading independent, non-partisan source of analysis and advice on the prevention and resolution of deadly conflict.

CineForm color and 3D corrections tool FirstLight is completely database driven, with no need to render any element. Yet we want to share color corrections and other database changes we do need to export something, don't we? I've just post my second tutorial video on vimeo that shows how to share you color correction automatically using Dropbox (dropbox.com.)
CineForm FirstLight color correction through Dropbox from David Newman on Vimeo.Best to use the link above see it in HD.
The tutorial demonstates a custom utility that help that can be downloaded from here. Unzip and double click on this VBScript to move your LUTs and color corrections into your Dropbox folder.
Sharing color database information automatically among editing station is a feature CineForm has planned for some time. Yet finding the development time had put this project off, until we realized that Dropbox offers most of the base features we needed, and for free. The one thing it doesn't do is resolve the conflict if multiple users are changing the sample clips color/3D info at the same time, there is no priority or check-in systems with Dropbox. Yet this issue can be avoiding through the user practice of branching color databases, as I show in the tutorial. Users can work on their own branch and the "check-in" is simple the email/hand-off that saying my new stuff in is in data "x-y-z".
The reason I performed this demo using the beta version 4.3, is we made one subtle change to accommodate the Dropbox sharing. The histogram, overlays and 3D display mode features (which I sure to put in an upcoming video demo) were linked in the database within early versions, this meant a user enabling these features could remotely change those settings on another users system. While the branching practice above fixes this, I didn't want one user's render messed up by another user turning on histograms -- Imagine the support nightmare. Version 4.3 is now available.

I put together a bunch of Scottish tunes relating to the Battle of Flodden:
They're in ABC format - see http://abcnotation.com if you don't know what to do with it.
I may get round to including the stories behind them, but meanwhile this should be handy for anyone doing a commemoration.
I threw in a lot of different versions of The Flowers of the Forest, as that's an unusually variable tune (and most of the versions postdate the battle by a couple of centuries).

Children younger than 3 years old receive the same protective antibody response from the recommended two doses of licensed seasonal influenza vaccines regardless of whether the two doses are injected by needle, inhaled through a nasal spray or provided through one dose of each in any order, according to researchers funded by the National Institutes of Health. Doctors usually give young children two matching vaccines, and one goal of the study was to determine whether giving two different types of vaccines works just as well.
|Daniel Hoft, M.D., Ph.D.
In addition, the researchers found that young children who received at least one dose of the nasal spray vaccine — a live, attenuated influenza virus vaccine (LAIV) — made a wide array of immune T cells. Stimulating broad T-cell responses may be important for protection against many diverse flu strains.
The study was conducted at vaccine and treatment evaluation units (VTEUs) funded by the NIH's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). Daniel F. Hoft, M.D., Ph.D., and his colleagues at the Saint Louis University VTEU, along with other VTEU investigators at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, and the Cincinnati Children's Hospital, co-authored the report, online in The Journal of Infectious Diseases.
Influenza vaccinations for young children are provided in a two-dose, prime-boost combination. The first vaccine dose is designed to prime the immune system to produce a favorable antibody response, and the second vaccine dose is the "boost" designed to spur an immune response.
"Severe complications from seasonal influenza can be devastating to young children," said Anthony S. Fauci, M.D., NIAID director. "This study provides initial evidence that the prime and booster doses for these young children can be different types of flu vaccines and still provide adequate protection against matching seasonal flu strains."
The trial took place during the 2005-2006 and the 2006-2007 flu seasons and involved 53 children aged 6 to 35 months. Study participants were divided into four groups of roughly equal size. None of the children had received an influenza vaccine before.
During the study, all children received an initial dose of licensed seasonal flu vaccine and a booster dose one month later. In two groups, the vaccines matched, with children receiving two injections of a trivalent, inactivated vaccine (TIV) injection or two LAIV nasal spray vaccines. Children in the other two groups received a combination of vaccines, with a dose of LAIV given either before or after TIV.
"Kids who have never been immunized against flu are generally advised to receive two doses of inactivated or live, attenuated vaccine to ensure adequate antibody responses," noted Hoft, director of the division of infectious diseases, allergy and immunology at Saint Louis University.
"Vaccination schedules combining one dose of TIV with one dose of LAIV have not been recommended because clinical studies of these combinations have not been done previously. However, due to vaccine availability or other factors, children may sometimes be given a mix of vaccines," he added.
The researchers found that all four dosing patterns were safe and induced similar levels of protective antibodies. However, when the investigators looked at responses from the T-cell arm of the immune system, a striking difference emerged. They could not detect influenza-specific T cells in children who received only TIV, according to Hoft.
But, he added, "The kids who received at least one dose of LAIV nasal spray vaccine produced significant amounts of three important T-cell subtypes that are likely to confer additional protection beyond that afforded by antibodies alone."
Previous studies have demonstrated that children are better protected against influenza infection and disease by LAIV than by TIV, Hoft noted. However, few studies have examined the T-cell responses elicited by LAIV when given to very young children who have little prior natural exposure to seasonal influenza viruses.
Distinguishing T-cell responses due to vaccination from those arising after natural exposure to influenza virus becomes more difficult as a child ages, he explained. Because the children in the trial were all younger than 3 years old, the researchers could be confident that spikes in levels of the three T-cell subtypes they detected were likely due to the vaccinations.
Children who received only one dose of LAIV had T-cell responses similar to those who received two, and the order of vaccine types did not make a significant difference in the size of the T-cell response.
However, because LAIV has sometimes been associated with increased incidence of wheezing in the youngest recipients, the results of this trial suggest that the best regimen for kids younger than 24 months may be TIV followed by LAIV, Hoft said. Larger clinical trials are required to confirm the safety and efficacy of such an approach, he added.
In a separate series of experiments using influenza virus-infected cells grown in the laboratory, the scientists showed that LAIV, but not TIV, induces T cells that recognize genetic sequences shared by a diverse set of influenza viruses.
In contrast to currently used flu vaccines-which must be given annually because circulating influenza viruses change from season to season-a vaccine capable of eliciting broad T-cell responses aimed at a portion of virus shared by multiple strains could provide decades-long protection against many or all flu strains, Hoft said.
For additional information about NIAID research on influenza, see the Influenza Web portal. Also visit Flu.gov for more information about seasonal and pandemic flu.
NIAID conducts and supports research-at NIH, throughout the United States, and worldwide-to study the causes of infectious and immune-mediated diseases, and to develop better means of preventing, diagnosing and treating these illnesses. News releases, fact sheets and other NIAID-related materials are available on the NIAID Web site at http://www.niaid.nih.gov.
On the forefront of research in fighting and preventing infectious diseases, Saint Louis University receives federal funding as a Vaccine and Treatment Evaluation Unit. The Saint Louis University VTEU evaluates new and improved vaccines for diseases such as influenza and novel ways of delivering those vaccines.

Afternoon all
I made an offer a while back stating the following:
Should Bell and Hussey play the same amount of Tests in the forthcoming Ashes, and Hussey score more runs, then Mike Hussey will be my avatar for one month.
Last summer's result produced lots of interesting avatars I believe. Most notably Langeveldt having KP.
So, place your bets and challenges here for this year's Ashes; the results could be interesting!

House Democratic leaders have put their recently announced proposal for increases in gasoline, cigarette, computer design and utility taxes on a fast track for passage as soon as Monday.
Meanwhile Gov. Deval L. Patrick, who had sought a much larger revenue increase, including a major income tax hike to fund expanded education and transportation programs, signaled Wednesday his fight for more revenue for transportation and education programs may not be over, suggesting the Legislature's tax package is "too small."
House and Senate Democratic leaders shot down the governor's $1.9 billion tax hike plan in favor of the more modest $500 million tax package announced Tuesday, saying the governor's proposals would put too much of a squeeze on the middle class and could hamper the state's struggling economy.
That decision by House Speaker Robert A. DeLeo and Senate President Therese Murray, despite months of public campaigning by the governor and special interest groups for the larger revenue increase, was accompanied by another plan to boost state funding for local road maintenance from $200 million to $300 million next year.
Legislation for both the tax plan and the increase in Chapter 90 road funds for cities and towns were voted out of committee and given their first reading in the House Wednesday, clearing the way for floor debate and votes to pass the bills to the Senate Monday afternoon.
The governor, who offered restrained reactions to rejection of his tax bill so far, indicated Wednesday he will keep pushing for additional revenue and said he has been willing to negotiate with legislators over their differences.
Mr. Patrick said he was still evaluating how to respond to the legislative package and would have more to say about it Thursday.
"I have been clear publicly and with the legislative leadership that I am willing to compromise," Mr. Patrick told reporters at the Statehouse after a meeting with a group of education advocates seeking more extended learning, early education and college aid funding from the governor's tax proposal.
"I do think there is such a thing as too small. I think we have got to be serious about investing in ways that give us growth and investing in education and transportation do that," the governor said. "This is a process and we will see where this process goes," he said adding, "We are doing some analysis ourselves internally. I'm going to try to collect my thoughts and give you some comments Thursday."
But there was no white flag in the offing from the governor. "We are going to keep talking. It is too important to just stand back and wait for it to happen. If we want growth we have to go and get it and that is what my proposal was about," Mr. Patrick said.
While the House and Senate leaders said their plan for a 3 cent per gallon gas tax increase, another $1 per pack on cigarettes and tax changes to boost income taxes on utilities and software design services would bring in about $500 million for transportation needs.
Proponents said other funds in the budget that would be freed up by the dedication of new revenues to existing transportation costs could be used to increase education funding next year.
But the governor said it would not be enough to address the chronic achievement gap between poor and minority students by providing more extended day and early education school programs or additional assistance to reduce college costs.
Without more funding this year for education, he said, many children across the state will miss out on lifetime opportunities and the state's economy will be the worse for it.
"The consequences of that are that 30,000 three and four-year-olds get told by Beacon Hill we can't do anything for you. We can't do anything to make your future brighter to help you reach your potential," Mr. Patrick said.
"We tell young people in middle schools that are underperforming that we cannot afford to do what is necessary to help prepare you for the workforce. We tell the business community you are going to have to look elsewhere to meet your workforce needs. We tell middle class families that we can't do anything and won't do anything to help your kids pay for college," Mr. Patrick said.
"I think we are better than that," he said adding many legislators see the value of spending more to address educational shortcomings. "Always the hard part is asking people to sacrifice to make those aspects of our commonwealth better and stronger and that's what I'm pushing," the governor said.
While Republicans said the tax hikes are not needed, some business groups including the Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation called the smaller legislative package a reasonable approach. But groups advocating for significant increases in education and transportation funding expressed frustration with the House-Senate leaders' tax package.
Deborah Shah, executive director of the grass-roots organization Progressive Massachusetts that has been working for the last year for more state revenue for transportation, education and social services, demanded lawmakers reject the leadership tax plan. She said the governor and many other lawmakers back the governor's $1.9 billion tax hike plan because it showed "real vision and a commitment to supporting our communities."
Kristina Egan, of Transportation for Massachusetts, a coalition of advocacy groups supporting the governor's tax package said the smaller tax package would mean fewer new jobs, the likelihood of higher mass transit fares and chronic under-funding for the state's transportation system.
Speaking to educators and parents with the group Stand for Children which for 10 years has been advocating for funds to overcome the achievement gap in lower income urban schools and lower college costs, the governor said they should continue talking to lawmakers about funding his proposals.
"It's not like we have to persuade people about the worthiness of these investments. The question is are we, all of us, prepared to ask of each other a little more sacrifice to make life a lot better for ourselves and our children," Mr. Patrick said.

Posts Tagged 'Electric Loop Orchestra'
Soundtrack2 Ep. 95: Replicate
Disappears, Lower Dens, Stagnant Pools, Blonde Redhead, Deep Cut & more
An online breach at our host meant this week's mix is about a week behind. The tracks are still blistering, but the newer ones are – well, less new than usual.
What music are you digging these days?
1. The History Of Colour TV – I Knew It Was Wrong But I Did It Anyway
Dramatic opening chord gives way to shoegaze pop goodness.
2. Deep Cut – Decision Time (Electric Loop Orchestra remix)
Motorik space pop by former member of Revolver.
3. White Rabbits – Heavy Metal
Chillwave funk with fabulous stabs of guitar.
4. Florence + The Machine – No Light No Light (Spector Ryan Gosling Remix)
I haven't loved F+TM, but this production brings texture and a bit of drama, kind of like Austra. Not too familiar with the remixer, but sounds like that should change.
5. The Naked And The Famous – No Way
There's freezing rain outside, but there are signs it's letting up.
6. Now, Now – School Friends
Great new track from this wistful band. You can't help but hang on the singer's every word. Look for it in March on new album Threads.
7. Sea Oleena – Swimming Story
Like an illicit nighttime dip in a candle-lit pool. Captivating. And from Canada!
8. The Nocturnes – Grandmother Make A Steeple
Lovely track that sounds a bit like Chris Isaak and Pink Floyd. This is one of many gems on Aokigahara.
9. Conduits – Top Of The Hill
Omaha represent! Can't wait to hear more from this band.
10. Disappears – Replicate
Boom! They're back. Praise them…that is all.
11. Fields Of Industry – The Sum
Track from a few years back that needed to be heard.
12. Lower Dens – Brains
Second return to form this episode! Love this dense, tense track as it speeds towards an uncertain ending. "Don't be a friend…"
13. Stephen Paul Smoker – Green City
Fabulously weird psych blues.
14. R.M. Hendrix – Last Year's Hopes Are Playing Through The Wall
Engrossing swirling psychedelia.
15. Stagnant Pools – Consistency
Track of the week. If you need a shot of slacker shoegaze rock and roll, look no further.
16. Asalto al Parque Zoológico – Warn You
Still carrying the flame for the classic shoegaze sound!
17. HEHFU – Come Home
Short burst from the Come Home EP.
18. Blonde Redhead – Big Song
Sometimes, choruses need only consist of one vowel.
