The Dialectic of Destruction
[This article is excerpted from volume 2, chapter 10 of An Austrian Perspective on the History of Economic Thought (1995). An MP3 audio file of this chapter, narrated by Jeff Riggenbach, is available for download.]
Some might protest that, in our discussion of communism, we have not mentioned the feature that is generally considered the hallmark of that system: the slogan, "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs." This phrase seems to contradict our view that the essence of the communist society is a secularized religion rather than economics. The locus classicus, however, of Marx's proclamation of this well-known slogan of French socialism, was in the course of his vitriolic Critique of the Gotha Program in 1875, in which Marx denounced the Lassallean deviationists who were forming the new German Social Democratic Party. And it is clear from the context of his discussion that this slogan is of minor and peripheral importance to Marx. In point 3 of his Critique, Marx is denouncing the clause of the program calling for communization of property and "equitable distribution of the proceeds of labour." In the course of his discussion, Marx states that inequality of labor income is "inevitable in the first stage of communist society, … when it has just emerged after prolonged birth pangs from capitalist society. Right can never be higher than the economic structure of society and the cultural development thereby determined." On the other hand, Marx goes on,
In a higher phase of communist society, after the enslaving subordination of individuals under division of labour, and therewith also the antithesis between mental and physical labour, has vanished; after … the productive forces have also increased with the all-round development of the individual, and all the springs of cooperative wealth flow more abundantly — only then can the narrow horizon of bourgeois right be fully left behind and society inscribe on its banners: from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs!1
It should be evident from this passage and its context that Marx's final sentence, far from being the point and the culmination of his discussion, was stated briefly only to be dismissed. What Marx is saying is that the key to the communist world is not any such principle of the distribution of goods, but the eradication of the division of labor, the all-around development of individual faculties, and the resulting flow of superabundance. In such a world, the famous slogan becomes of only trivial importance. Indeed, Marx proceeds immediately after this passage to denounce talk among socialists of "equal right" and "equitable distribution" as "ideological nonsense about "right" and other trash common among the democrats and French Socialists." He then quickly adds that "it was in general incorrect to make a fuss about so-called 'distribution' and put the principal stress on it."2,3
The absolute misery and horror of the ultimate stage (and a fortiori of the beyond-ultimate stage) of communism should now be all too apparent. The eradication of the division of labor would quickly bring starvation and economic misery to all. The abolition of all structures of human interrelation would bring enormous social and spiritual deprivation to every person. And, even the alleged "artistic" intellectual and creative development of all man's faculties in all directions would be totally crippled by the ban on all specialization. How can true intellectual development or creation come without concentrated effort? In short, the terrible economic suffering of mankind under communism would be fully matched by its intellectual and spiritual deprivation. Considering the nature and consequences of communism, to call this horrific dystopia a noble and "humanist" ideal can at best be considered a grisly joke, in questionable taste. The prevalent notion, for example, that Marxian communism is a glorious ideal for man perverted by the later Engels or by Lenin or Stalin, can now be put into proper perspective. None of the horrors committed by Lenin, Stalin, or other Marxist-Leninist regimes can match the monstrousness of Marx's communist "ideal." Perhaps the closest approximation was the short-lived communist regime of Pol Pot in Cambodia which, in attempting to abolish the division of labor, managed to enforce the outlawry of money — so that for their tiny rations the populace was totally dependent upon the niggardly largesse of the communist cadre. Moreover, they attempted to eliminate the "contradictions between town and country," by following the Engels goal of destroying large cities, and by coercively depopulating the capital, Phnom Penh, overnight. In a few short years, the Pol Pot group managed to exterminate one-third of the Cambodian population, perhaps a record in genocide.4
Since under ideal communism everyone could and would have to do everything, it is clear that, even before universal starvation set in, very little could get done. To Marx himself, all differences among individuals were "contradictions" to be eliminated under communism, so that presumably the mass of individuals would have to be uniform and interchangeable.5 Whereas Marx apparently postulated normal intellectual capabilities even under communism, to later Marxists, it seems that difficulties could be alleviated by the emergence of superhuman beings. To Karl Kautsky (1854–1938), the German Marxist who assumed the mantle of the top leadership of Marxism upon the death of Engels in 1895, under communism "a new type of man will arise … a superman … an exalted man." Leon Trotsky waxed even more lyrical: "Man will become incomparably stronger, wiser, finer. His body more harmonious, his movements more rhythmical, his voice more musical … The human average will rise to the level of an Aristotle, a Goethe, a Marx. Above these other heights new peaks will arise." If the beyond ultimate stage of communism ever lasts long enough to breed a new super-race, we may safely leave it to the communist theoreticians of that future day to resolve the problem of whether the "contradiction" of "permitting" a super-Aristotle to tower over an Aristotle may be allowed to exist.6
Neither should libertarians be taken in by the Marxian goal of the "withering away of the State" under communism, or in the use of the phrase, borrowed from the cherished aim of the French free market libertarians Charles Comte and Charles Dunoyer: a world where the "government of persons is replaced by the administration of things." There are two major flaws in this formulation from the laissez-faire libertarian viewpoint. First, of course, as the Russian anarcho-communist Mikhail Bakunin (1814–76) insistently pointed out: it is absurd to try to reach statelessness via the absolute maximization of state power in a totalitarian dictatorship of the proletariat (or more realistically a select vanguard of the said proletariat). The result can only be maximum statism and hence maximum slavery. As perhaps the first of the "new class" theorists, and anticipating the iron law of oligarchy of Michels and Mosca, Bakunin prophetically warned that a minority ruling class will once again, after the Marxian revolution, rule the majority:
But the Marxists say, this minority will consist of the workers. Yes, no doubt … of former workers, who, as soon as they become governors or representatives of the people, cease to be workers and start looking down on the working masses from the heights of state authority, so that they represent not the people but themselves and their own claim to rule over others. Anyone who can doubt this knows nothing of human nature … The terms "scientific socialist" and "scientific socialism," which we meet incessantly in the works and speeches of the … Marxists, are sufficient to prove that the so-called people's state will be nothing but a despotism over the masses, exercised by a new and quite small aristocracy of real or bogus "scientists."… They [the Marxists] claim that only dictatorship, their own of course, can bring the people freedom; we reply that a dictatorship can have no other aim than to perpetuate itself, and that it can engender and foster nothing but slavery in the people subjected to it. Freedom can be created only by freedom.7
Indeed, only a believer in the preposterous necromancy of the "dialectic" could believe otherwise, that is, could believe that a totalitarian state can inevitably and virtually instantly be transformed into its opposite, and that therefore the way to get rid of the state is to work as hard as possible to maximize its power.
But the problem of the dialectic is not the only, indeed not even the main, problem with Marxian communism. For Marxism shares with the anarchists a grave problem of the higher stage of pure communism, assuming for a moment that it could ever be reached. The crucial point is that, both for anarchists and for Marxists, ideal communism is a world without private property, and that all property and resources will be owned and controlled in common. Indeed, the anarcho-communists' major complaint against the state is that it is allegedly the main enforcer and guarantor of private property and therefore that to abolish private property the state must also be eradicated. The truth, of course, is precisely the opposite: the state, through history, has been the main despoiler and plunderer of private property. With private property mysteriously abolished, then, the elimination of the state under communism (of either the Marxian or anarchist variety) would necessarily be a mere camouflage for a new state that would emerge to control and make decisions for communally owned resources. Except that the state would not be called such, but rather renamed something like a "people's statistical bureau," as has already been done in Khadafy's Libya, and armed with precisely the same powers. It will be small consolation to future victims, incarcerated or shot for committing "capitalist acts between consenting adults" (to cite a phrase made popular by Robert Nozick), that their oppressors will no longer be the state but only a people's statistical bureau. The state under any other name will smell as acrid. Furthermore, it will be inevitable, under the iron law of oligarchy, that "world communal decisions' will have to be undertaken by a specialized elite, so that the ruling class will inevitably reappear, under Bakuninite as well as any other form of communism.8
And, as we have indicated, in the "beyond-communism" stage, the stage of universal no-ownership and therefore of no action and no use of resources, death for the entire human race would swiftly ensue.
Marx and his followers have never demonstrated any awareness of the vital importance of the problem of allocation of scarce resources. Their vision of communism is that all such economic problems are trivial, requiring neither entrepreneurship nor a price system nor genuine economic calculation — that all problems could be quickly solved by mere accounting or recording. The classic absurdity on this matter was laid down by Lenin, who accurately expressed Marx's view in declaring that the functions of entrepreneurship and of allocation of resources have been "simplified by capitalism to the utmost" to mere matters of accounting and to "the extraordinarily simple operations of watching, recording, and issuing receipts, within the reach of anybody who can read and write and knows the first four rules of arithmetic." Ludwig von Mises wryly and justly comments that Marxists and other socialists have had "no greater perception of the essentials of economic life than the errand boy, whose only idea of the work of the entrepreneur is that he covers pieces of paper with letters and figures."9
- 1. Karl Marx, Critique of the Gotha Programme (New York: International Publishers, 1938), p. 10. The critique was first published by Engels in 1891, after Marx's death. The Lassalleans were followers of the late Ferdinand Lasalle (1825–64) a blowhard and dandy who was extremely popular in Germany, especially beloved by the working class, and the preeminent organizer of the proletariat. Typically, Lassalle died early in a most unproletarian and aristocratic way – in a duel over a lady. One of Lasalle's two major deviations from Marxism was his ultra-Malthusian devotion to the Malthus-Ricardo subsistence theory of wages as determined by population growth, which he popularized in the most rigid form, and allegedly named the "iron law of wages," in which form it won widespread fame. In reality, Lassalle dubbed it the "brazen law of wages" (in the sense of "made of brass"), and his most common locution was "the brazen and gruesome law of wages" (das eherne und grausame Gesetz). Lassalle's other and more important deviation was his embrace and worship of the state. Marx saw the state as a tyrannical instrument of mass exploitation which required a violent revolution to overthrow. Lassalle, in Hegelian fashion, on the other hand, worshipped the state as a guide and developer of freedom, as the fusion of man into a spiritual whole, and as an eternal instrument for moral regeneration. The only problem with the state, for Lassalle, was the fact that it was not yet controlled by the workers, but this could be rectified simply by enacting universal suffrage, after which the state would be run by a workers' party and the workers would then become the state and all would be well. The state would promptly transfer the control of production to workers' associations which would thus circumvent the brazen law by appropriating to themselves the surplus profits now extracted by the capitalists. See Gray, op. cit., note 16, pp. 332–43.
- 2. Actually, Marx goes on to make a useful point: that distribution always flows from the "conditions of production" and cannot be separated from it. One would like to think that this was not only an argument against the "vulgar socialists" but also an implicit slap at J.S. Mill, who thought that while production was bound by economic law, "distribution" could be separated from production and reformed by state action.
- 3. See the excellent discussion of this point in Tucker, op. cit., note 8, p. 200.
- 4. The Soviet people were spared the full cataclysm of communism when Lenin, a master pragmatist, drew back from the early Soviet attempt (1918–21) to abolish money and leap into communism (later deliberately mislabeled "war communism"), and went back to the largely capitalist economy of the New Economic Policy. Mao tried to bring about communism in two disastrous surges: the Great Leap Forward, which attempted to eliminate private property and to eliminate the "contradictions" between town and country by building a steel plant in every backyard; and the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, which tried to eliminate the "contradiction" between intellectual and manual labor by shipping an entire generation of students to forced labor in the wilds of Sinkiang. On the myth of "war communism," see the illuminating discussion in Paul Craig Roberts, Alienation and the Soviet Economy (Albuquerque: University of New Mexico Press, 1971), pp. 20–47.
- 5. In an amusing note, during the New Left period of the late 1960s, the Liberated Guardian broke off from the quasi-Maoist journal, The Guardian, in New York City, on the ground that the latter functioned in the same way as any "bourgeois" periodical, with specialized editors, typists, copy-readers, business staff, etc. The Liberated Guardian was run by a "collective" in which, assertedly, every person performed every task without specialization. The same criticism, followed by the same solution, was applied by the women's caucus which confiscated the property of the New Left weekly, Rat. Both periodicals, as one would expect, died a mercifully swift death. See Murray N. Rothbard, Freedom, Inequality, Primitivism, and the Division of Labor (Menlo Park, Calif. Institute for Humane Studies, 1971), pp. 15n, 20.
- 6. See von Mises, op. cit., note 15, p. 143. Also see Rothbard, op. cit., note 34, pp. 8–15.
- 7. Bakunin, Statehood and Anarchy: quoted in Leszek Kolakowski, Main Currents of Marxism: Its Origins, Growth and Dissolution (New York: Oxford University Press, 1981), I, pp. 251–2. See also Abram L. Harris, Economics and Social Reform (New York: Harper & Bros, 1958), pp. 149–50.
- 8. On self-ownership and on the impossibility of communal ownership, see Murray N. Rothbard, The Ethics of Liberty (2nd ed., Atlantic Highlands, NJ: Humanities Press, 1983), pp. 45–50.

欢迎, 开拓者们,欢迎来到KDE本土化! Brought along a generous reserve of breathing air?
|这些文章汇集希望能成为KDE本土化文档的一个集中来源,虽然现在距这个目标还有点距离。同时,下面链接有官方文档(可能有些已经过时了)KDE Translation Howto.
|If you are fresh in the trade, do not feel intimidated by the expanse. Not even crack KDE translators are supposed to be intimately acquainted with, or need all this stuff. Instead, if you are eager to start churning out results, head to the rookie workflow and follow the leads therein.
It is important to correctly place certain bits of information in the localization universe. The reader should be made aware of what is a local KDE convention, what a special feature of the tool they use, and what a general concept and its embodiment in specific KDE context.
While this is obviously a KDE-focused resource, it is nevertheless useful to provide examples of how some elements are handled outside of KDE. Through contrast and comparison, the reader may better understand the whys and hows of presented material. Likewise, it may help those already familiar with other localization environments.
For better or for worse, there is no lack of frameworks, formats, procedures and other vague notions that a KDE translator may stumble upon along the way. They may be a burden of sorts -- many things to keep in mind -- but also a source of fun, challenge, and deep satisfaction when creatively combined towards great efficiency of everyday work and mirror-perfect polish of the final output. Thus, expect the articles here not to withold much.
Great many tools exist to support the localization process. Some may be quite general, and other tightly coupled with KDE localization process. Tools are thus presented in different ways. More general tools typically have referent documentation of their own, and here it is explained how they relate to concepts and workflows used in KDE. Custom, KDE-specific tools are explained in greater detail, sometimes to the point of these articles being their referent documentation.
There is no single way to participate in KDE localization. Contributors will differ by the amount and direction of effort they put in, and the workflow articles are here to provide guidance for the frequently observed roles. Also presented are the technical and organizational details which have tidal influence on everyday translator's workflow.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - It's been a tough road for a Henry Clay High School student. Braxton Upthegrove, 16, who manages the school basketball team, is waiting on his second kidney transplant.
The stakes were high during Tuesday night's game at Bryan Station. But there was more attention off the court. During halftime of the game, Upthegrove received a special video message from a former UK player.
"Braxton, why don't you and your mom come join me in just a few days to watch my team play the Miami Heat," said Philadelphia 76er's Nerlens Noel. "Be my guest."
Minutes later, the trip to Philadelphia to spend time with Noel and see the game finally sunk in for Upthegrove, and he was no longer at a loss for words.
"I can't wait now," said Upthegrove. "I can't. And get away from school."
His family is just as excited.
"This is a dream come true for him," said Michelle Upthegrove, Braxton's mother. "There's no other way to put it."
Braxton and his mother are flying out Thursday to Philadelphia to go to the Miami Heat and 76er's game on Friday. Then Noel plans to spend the weekend with Braxton playing video games. This trip was put together in a matter of two days.

"Sight Lines'' at Fountain Street Fine Art in Framingham showcases striking paintings and photographs by Roy Perkinson, Andrew Haines and Greg Heins, whose subtle craft compels visitors to stop, look, look again more closely and share the wonder.
Three artists discover extraordinary beauty in everyday scenes in Framingham, Paris and Boston that most people would pass by without a second look.
"Sight Lines'' at Fountain Street Fine Art in Framingham showcases striking paintings and photographs by Roy Perkinson, Andrew Haines and Greg Heins, whose subtle craft compels visitors to stop, look, look again more closely and share the wonder.
For these artists, a beat-down stretch of Rte. 135, aging two-deckers in Allston and the rundown boulevard circumventing Paris provide canvases for colors, shades and forms as rich as Monet's cathedrals.
Organized by gallery owners Marie Craig and Cheryl Clinton, "Sight Lines'' features about 40 works. A Wellesley resident and gallery member, Perkinson worked with Haines and Heins at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and wanted them to show their work together. Most are for sale.
"Their work complements one another's in exciting ways,'' said Craig. "Each has a particular point-of-view. They see everyday landscapes as things of beauty.''
Take a look
Perkinson stands beside "Highway at Dusk,'' a subtly luminous panorama of Highway 35 in Texas where he grew up. A barely-visible car – just red taillights and a hint of headlights – drives alone along a ghostly ribbon of road toward the distant horizon, painted in seven shades, so subtle they're impossible to name.
He's showing 10 oil paintings and describes himself as a "metaphorical realist,'' a term he invented and thinks also applies to Haines and Heins.
In paintings like "Window, Twilight'' and "Moon, Farm Pond,'' Perkinson renders local scenes in subtle shades with brilliant counterpoints of orange and red that evoke a sense of hidden lives and buried feelings.
"I want viewers to let their eyes roam around my paintings. I want them to feel they can walk into my scenes,'' he said, walking through the first-floor gallery. Hopefully they intuit the visual poetry''
Look again
Taken over the last five years, Heins' 12 photos are part of an ongoing project to visually document scenes around a four-lane road encircling Paris that separates the traditional urban center from the newer, less glamorous suburbs.
A self-taught photographer and manager of imaging studies at the MFA, he has focused on "an overlooked area where tourists don't go that isn't photogenic in the normal sense.''
At Nanterre Cemetery, a filigreed cross rises into the sky against a backdrop of identical high rise buildings. A chic woman on a billboard seems to gaze with a tempting smile on the traffic signals at a busy intersection. A few lights illuminate a deserted sidewalk in a night scene that might have come from a film about star-crossed lovers.
A Jamaica Plain resident, Heins described photography as "a meditative exercise.''
"I'm driven by the arrangement of shapes and colors that ring a bell with me. In my kind of picture, there are moments of perception when things come into harmony in a peculiar way,'' he said.
See with the mind's eye
Haines studied painting in college and now works at the MFA as an associate conservator in furniture and frame conservation, a position that lets him "marinate'' in paintings by some of the greatest painters in history.
The Jamaica Plain resident uses "quiet colors'' to reveal the somber beauty of tired houses with multiple layers of paint or the back lot of a Boston building cluttered with debris.
"I love to look at things and be as true to them as I can,'' said Haines. "I try to paint them as I see them.''
Asked what he hopes a viewer might say after looking at his paintings, Haines thought a moment and replied, "I'd feel I'd succeeded if I heard them say, 'I've driven by that a thousand times and never noticed it until now.' "
Come to "Sight Lines'' and you'll notice things in new ways.

This festively colorful nebula, called NGC 604, is one of the largest known seething cauldrons of star birth in a nearby galaxy. NGC 604 is similar to familiar star-birth regions in our Milky Way galaxy, such as the Orion Nebula, but it is vastly larger in extent and contains many more recently formed stars.
This monstrous star-birth region contains more than 200 brilliant blue stars within a cloud of glowing gases some 1,300 light-years across, nearly 100 times the size of the Orion Nebula. By contrast, the Orion Nebula contains just four bright central stars. The bright stars in NGC 604 are extremely young by astronomical standards, having formed a mere 3 million years ago.
Most of the brightest and hottest stars form a loose cluster located within a cavity near the center of the nebula. Stellar winds from these hot blue stars, along with supernova explosions, are responsible for carving out the hole at the center. The most massive stars in NGC 604 exceed 120 times the mass of our Sun, and their surface temperatures are as hot as 72,000 degrees Fahrenheit (40,000 Kelvin). Ultraviolet radiation floods out from these hot stars, making the surrounding nebular gas fluoresce.
NGC 604 lies in a spiral arm of the nearby galaxy M33, located about 2.7 million light-years away in the direction of the constellation Triangulum. M33, a member of the Local Group of galaxies that also includes the Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy, can be seen easily with binoculars. NGC 604 itself can be seen with a small telescope, and was first noted by the English astronomer William Herschel in 1784. Within our Local Group, only the Tarantula Nebula in the Large Magellanic Cloud exceeds NGC 604 in the number of young stars, even though the Tarantula Nebula is slightly smaller in size.
NGC 604 provides Hubble astronomers with a nearby example of a giant star-birth region. Such regions are small-scale versions of more distant "starburst" galaxies, which undergo an extremely high rate of star formation. Starbursts are believed to have been common in the early universe, when the star-formation rate was much higher. Supernovae exploding in these galaxies created the first chemical elements heavier than hydrogen and helium.
The image of NGC 604 was assembled from observations taken with Hubble's Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 in 1994, 1995, and 2001. Color filters were used to isolate light emitted by hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur atoms in the nebula and ultraviolet, visible and infrared light from the stars within NGC 604 and the nearby spiral arms of M33. Image processors from the Hubble Heritage team at the Space Telescope Science Institute combined these various filter images to create this color picture.

Report: Investigators find evidence in Hernandez's secret apartment
A secret apartment maintained by Aaron Hernandez near his suburban Boston home contained boxes of ammunition and a sweatshirt that resembles the one authorities believe he wore the night Odin Lloyd was murdered, the Boston Globe reported Wednesday.
The search warrant affidavit for the apartment cited cocaine, according to a Boston Herald report.
The search by state police took place in late June at an apartment in Franklin, Mass., about 12 miles from Hernandez's house in North Attleboro, according to documents filed at Wrentham District Court, the Globe reported. The Herald reported that the two-bedroom apartment rents for $1,200 a month.

Carlos Ortiz, who is also jailed in connection with Lloyd's slaying, reportedly gave police information that led to the search of the apartment. According to an affidavit quoted by the Globe, Ortiz told police on June 25, the day before Hernandez was arrested at his North Attleboro home, that Hernandez had another residence "that not many people know about.†The affidavit referred to the apartment as a "flophouse.â€
Ortiz also told police that the night after the Lloyd shooting, he and Hernandez stopped by the apartment and Ortiz apparently left his cell phone there. Police mentioned the phone in its warrant, according to the Herald, but did not find it.
The sweatshirt found at the apartment, an affidavit on file read, "is consistent in color and type with the sweatshirt that Hernandez is observed to be wearing on surveillance cameras the night of the homicide.â€
Police also found 11 boxes of ammunition in all, including five boxes of .45-caliber ammunition, which is the caliber used to kill Lloyd, as well as rifle ammunition and one box of .22-caliber ammunition, the report said.
In addition, police found a hat Hernandez may have worn on a night out with Lloyd at a Boston nightclub several days before the murder, a valet parking ticket from a hotel within walking distance of the nightclub, and checks from the Patriots (who released him the day he was arrested) and Puma (the shoe company that dropped him as an endorser soon afterward).
The Herald report said the state police requested a warrant to search anyone at Hernandez's apartment, stating "the nature of the sale of Cocaine is such that the participants are constantly changing, Cocaine is commonly packaged in small plastic bags which are easily and likely concealed on one's person(s).â€
However, no drugs are listed in the court papers from after the search of the apartment.
"We cannot comment on this ongoing investigation at this time,†Bristol District Attorney's Office spokesman Gregg Miliote told the Herald in a statement. "More information will likely come out during future arraignments hearings.â€
Hernandez has a probable cause hearing scheduled for July 24. He remains at Bristol County Jail on murder and gun charges.
Besides the Odin killing, Hernandez has been linked to the investigation of a double homicide in Boston.
Police in Bristol, Conn. said Tuesday that, based on evidence developed through the investigation of Lloyd's slaying, Boston police asked for their help in their probe of the 2012 murders. Police have since searched a house in Bristol and seized a vehicle from that address.
Boston police have declined to comment on whether Hernandez is being looked at as a possible suspect in that case.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Hey all,
With the update today, schedules direct suddenly did not obey which channels I had disabled in the lineup.
They are still listed as disabled on the website, but when my MythTV mythfilldatabase updated, some 700 channels (most of which I don't have) auto populated despite being disabled in my account on schedulesdirect.
Any idea what went wrong and how I can fix it?

"Sesame Workshop's mission is to harness the educational power of media to help all children the world over reach their highest potential," the statement read. "Kevin Clash has helped us achieve that mission for 28 years, and none of us, especially Kevin, want anything to divert our attention from our focus on serving as a leading educational organization.
"Unfortunately, the controversy surrounding Kevin's personal life has become a distraction that none of us want, and he has concluded that he can no longer be effective in his job and has resigned from 'Sesame Street.' This is a sad day for 'Sesame Street.'"
In the new lawsuit, filed Tuesday in New York, Cecil Singleton says he met Clash, then 32, in a gay chat room in 1993, when Singleton was 15, and they began a relationship.
Another man made similar charges earlier this month, and later recanted, saying he was of age when the relationship began. On Nov. 12, Clash, 52, took a leave of absence from the show following allegations of the first relationship.
That first man, now 24 and a college student, reached out to Sesame Workshop in June and said he was just 16 when he had a relationship with Clash. The company said in a statement that it investigated the relationship and found the charges that the man was underage to be "unsubstantiated," but that Clash was disciplined for using poor judgment and violating company Internet usage policy.
On Nov. 13, a Pennsylvania law firm representing the first man issued a statement saying their client had recanted his claim that the relationship began when he was underage, calling it an "adult consensual relationship" and saying the man would have no further comment.
"I am a gay man. I have never been ashamed of this or tried to hide it, but felt it was a personal and private matter," Clash said last week in a statement to NBC News issued through a representative. "I had a relationship with the accuser. It was between two consenting adults and I am deeply saddened that he is trying to characterize it as something other than what it was. I am taking a break from Sesame Workshop to deal with this false and defamatory allegation."
Clash has performed with Sesame Street characters since 1979, when he played Cookie Monster in the "Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade." He became an official puppeteer on "Sesame Street" in 1984 and created character voices for puppets such as Baby Natasha and Dr. Nobel Price, but the marriage of Elmo and Clash's stylized high-pitched toddler voice caught fire once he began voicing the puppet in 1985. (Elmo had been a recurring puppet on the show since the early 1970s, but not a major player until Clash took over.)
Clash was the subject of a 2011 documentary, "Being Elmo," which documented his lifelong love of puppeteering.
"Elmo is bigger than any one person and will continue to be an integral part of 'Sesame Street' to engage, educate and inspire children around the world," said Sesame Workshop when Clash took his earlier leave.

Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas questioned Deputy Attorney General James Cole in a Senate Judiciary committee meeting about the recent leaks of classified government information and the measures the Department of Justice planned to take to stop them.
In the past two weeks, orders for an increased number of cyberattacks on Iran as well as a secret "kill list" of terrorism suspects have been leaked to the media by current or former government employees.
During the committee meeting Cornyn asked Cole, "is it a crime to leak classified information on the part of a government employee?"
Cole answered "Without going into all the details, generally yes it is, Senator."
While leaking classified government secrets is illegal, Cole did not think it was necessary to appoint a special prosecutor or counsel to find who leaked the information.

William was as true as his word. Price quoted was price I payed and he also addressed another little issue thrown in. Not to mention the fact they collected our car and returned same day. I will definitely be using their services again.
very good service
This is a great garage. Ur car is picked up fixed and returned 2 ur door no problems. The staff r great the service is too thanks guys job well done. Robert
Great friendly service. Waited in the garage for the car to be done and felt totally at ease. It needed a couple of extra things which were clearly explained to me and I was offered it if wanted these done there and then. Great garage and probably the first one I have felt comfortable taking my car to as a female. I will definitely be back
Team responded quickly to my car which wouldn't start (electric style fault) to get it collected and back to the garage for inspection. Even collected keys from my work. Fantastic!
Easy, fast, efficient and friendly service. Was given a complementary headlight!! Very pleased and will def use it again!
Brilliant service! Would recommended! Will now be my regular mechanic
Good friendly service
Brilliant place will be using again.
The price was above the quote because of replacement of faulty sensor.Excellent service and honest.Would highly recommend.
The job was completed efficiently and within the estimated time. Will use again without a doubt as I have recently started working in Bury and a near to local garage that gets the job done is essential. Would recommend Piston & Rotor.
Very helpful. Try to give me the best price what possible. Very happy with that garage! Will use it again!
Very helpful, quick turnaround
Absolutely brilliant! Very professional, polite, great communication and even noticed some other repairs that need attention, same day service, picked car up at 07:20 and had the car ready for pickup at 5pm I will be going back, highly recommend!!
The team were fantastic, communicated clearly what additional work may be required in order to make my car run at its optimal level then quoted me a very reasonable amended price to rectify those things. Slight delay due to part availability was handled well and the car brought to me the following day to avoid inconvenience. Well done guys thoroughly impressed by your work and service provided.
Decent garage, picked up and and dropped off car. Undercover for engine now seems to be hanging off but should be an easy fix for me to sort myself if I find a high enough kerb to get one of the sides of the car up on. Guys were good and wouldn't hesitate to use them again.
Superb level of Service
Happy with job done
Garage done a good job, however, I had to phone them to see if my car was ready and once there to collect they didn't really speak to me. The gentleman just asked for payment and I had to ask if there were any problems. Would use again.
A quick reply from Patrick followed by an explanation for what he believes would be required instilled immediate confidence in someone knowing what they were talking about. I am a novice in car repairs so after speaking to Patrick (who is so polite and does not talk down to you either) offering an explanation and picking up my car the same day i spoke to him, he promised to do all he could to get the car returned to me the same day (Saturday) as well which he did. So from around 10.00am collection and the car being returned around 3.30pm i really would call this service. I could get on with the rest of my day while Automotive Components Specialist Ltd took care of my car. The car drives great again and not only did they sort my clutch they sorted out a slight gearbox leak fixing the sales and replacing oil at the same time, all within the price i was quoted. One very happy customer here and i could not recommend this company any more. I would 100% use again and recommend to anyone who wants a garage that inspires confidence and trust. Oh and my car drives great again without noises or concerns. Thanks Patrick and Team
I spoke to Patrick who gave me confidence to use his garage. Look at his reviews on his website which was very good on jobs completed as to my car. Patrick said it would take 3 days to complete and get my car back. Very professional and great customer service from Patrick. Always kept me informed and very happy to get my car back and on what was quoted. Thank you.
The problem was solved with quick turnaround, very professional.
Quick with regards to fixing my car and helpful on the phone. Driver was however 30minutes late when picking up and bring car back which did cause me issues with work.
Fab! same day service, excellent customer service.
Been to the garage a few times, like the service and customer service is great and fixed the issue with my car
I only booked the an appointment
great work...thank you
No problem
The guys at Eagles Autos, did a great job, working on find a solutions to my car, unfortunately the car being a Lexus every part is more expensive then normal cars, but this is not Eagle Autos fault. Very happy on their service if ever in need of break pads or any other work I would come back. I recommend this garage for their service and punctuality on getting it done.

Anaďs Nin: a biography
Putnam's, 1995 - Biography & Autobiography - 654 pages
Deirdre Bair, renowned for her biographies of Samuel Beckett and Simone de Beauvoir, has now written the definitive biography of the complex and controversial Anais Nin. With exclusive and unprecedented access to all of Nin's unpublished archives, including more than 250,000 handwritten diary pages, Bair paints a startlingly different portrait of Nin, hitherto best known for her sexual peccadilloes and especially her affair with Henry Miller. Bair reveals Nin's lifelong struggle to become a respected writer, to position herself at the right hand of the intellectual elite, and to construct a way of life so complicated that it verged at times on incomprehensibility, even to herself.
"To live life as a dream" was Nin's motto, and she did so. She was a bigamist for more than thirty years, creating a "Lie Box" to help her keep her stories straight. And always she kept her diary, which eventually became one of the most astonishing renderings of a contemporary woman's life, noted as much for what she left out as for what she included. Bair's biography fills in the blanks and shows how Nin reflected the major themes that have come to characterize the latter half of the twentieth century: the quest for the self, the uses of psychoanalysis, and the determination of women to control their own sexuality.

Bugatti Veyron - 16.4 Grand Sport
We missed the road for Key Air at Waterbury Oxford Airport in Connecticut, and the subsequent U-turn in a church parking lot could have been a metaphor for seeking redemption for tooling around in the most powerful, most expensive production car in the world. I half expected to hear a voice from on high as we did our 180 in front of the house of worship: "You couldn't just drive a Prius?" Not today, sorry. Heaven can wait.
Bugatti has sold about 300 Veyrons since it introduced the car in the dim-distant good times of 2006, and this 1,001-hp, $2.1 million two-seater remains firmly ensconced on the throne of the car kingdom, five years and one grim recession later. The throne has actually elevated some, since Bugatti recently upped its own ante with the 1,200-hp Veyron Super Sport, which commands $2.9 million. The car I was driving was a 1,001-hp open-top Grand Sport.
I met my chaperone for the half day I had the car, Bugatti "factory pilot" Butch Leitzinger, deep in Veyron territory at a marina-side hotel in Greenwich, Conn., a community where the mighty oak of deep-rooted old money still stands proud, unbowed by the tempest. At one point, as we navigated our way among the fortress dry-stone walls standing guard for mansion after mansion, we were stalked by an elegant woman looking right at home at the wheel of a Maserati Quattroporte and surrounded by her wide-eyed, pointing, beaming brood of youngsters. She stayed on our tail through countless lefts and rights, and the angel on one of my shoulders agreed how good it felt to share the Veyron's existence on a public road. The fork-tail on the other shoulder goaded, "Dump the kids, schweedart; I've only got this thing till two o'clock." Landscape crews grinned and hoisted their thumbs. One fellow leaned out of his truck's cab and yelled at us to make sure we had the roof on because rain was coming.
The market for the Veyron dipped between mid-2008 and the middle of last year. "People had the money then but they were reluctant to show it," noted Leitzinger, "but it's bounced back in the past year."
The Bugatti Web site will tell you most of what you want to know about this car's specifications, and the broader Internet a bunch more you don't in the form of myths and fictions ("Dude, the tires are $25,000 each!!" Actually, a set of four runs about $35,000, according to Bugatti, which advises owners to plan on spending $25,000 a year on maintenance.)
The Veyron's specs (see page 62) are impressive indeed but what the numbers cannot tell you is how docile and tractable the car is in stop-start commuter traffic on the rough blacktop of I-95. The W16 does not have aggressive cams, so the Veyron is anything but the monster its specs suggest when you're closing the gap to the stationary car ahead at a walking pace. It's remarkably unremarkable.
British Concorde project boss Sir George Edwards, replying to a passenger aboard the SST's first airline service flight who had noted with surprise that the experience felt no different from flying on any other airliner, said, "Yes, that was the difficult part." So it was with the Veyron, too. The DSG double-clutch seven-speed paddle-shift manual transmission can take much of the credit for the Veyron's drivability; indeed, without it the Veyron could not exist as a production car drivable by anyone with some right-foot discipline, some sense of self-preservation and a couple of million bucks lying idle in a sock drawer. A foot-pedal clutch would require so much clamping force to harness 1,001 hp as to be impractical for pleasurable driving. VW owns Bugatti, and Leitzinger emphasized that the Veyron underwent and passed the same torture testing every other car in the VW stable goes through, for a supercar with staying power.
Pushing hard on the Veyron's gas pedal and holding it there changes everything. Suddenly this production car is alone in the stratosphere of automotive superlatives. Last year, Ferrari lent me a 599 Fiorano HGTE for a few days and I was able to savor its 612 hp and 448 ft-lb to 130 mph on my farmer neighbor's driveway. That indisputably good car sprints to 62 mph in 3.7 seconds. The Veyron does the sprint to 62 a full second more quickly. One second doesn't mean a whole lot when you're in the six- to seven-second band, but shaving a thousand milliseconds off the clock this low on the dial is an immense gain.
What does that gain feel like? In a word, unreal. It's a giant leap closer to the catapult launch of an F/A-18 off the deck of the USS Abraham Lincoln, which will forever remain my benchmark for fore-and-aft acceleration–zero to 170 in less than three seconds. Like the supply of nuclear-generated steam behind the cat-shot, the supply of power from the Veyron's W16 seems limitless and you have to recalibrate your expectations. Pushing the pedal to the floor for three or four seconds on most cars, even the 599, produces an anticipated and, to varying degrees, exhilarating sensation, but no amount of pre-drive briefing prepares you for the first time you floor the Veyron.
I will never admit in print to how far the speedometer needle traveled around its dial, or on what small ribbon of the North American continent it did so, but unexpectedly The Moment presented itself, and my factory pilot recognized it too. I had goosed the Bugatti on a mild uphill gradient and opened up a big gap from the Z4 that was intent on sniffing its scent glands. As we crested the hill, the road swept down toward a flat portion and up again on the other side, with not a car or a predator's lair to be seen anywhere on either side of the central divide for the better part of a mile.
This time I kept my foot pushed to the floor, and the heavy locomotive noise from behind morphed into a rising turbine wheeze and whistle as the four turbochargers spooled up and the wastegates cracked ajar. The thrust was savage, fierce and relentless, and a nano-glance at the horsepower gauge showed it to be pegged at 1,001. The whole sensation was afterburner-like in its unstoppable shove and in its turbine noise, and the ride was rock solid from a machine suddenly flexing muscles designed to do just this sort of lunge.
Leitzinger had forewarned me, but lifting my foot off the gas at [censored] mph produced a result as unanticipated as flooring it. It had no appreciable braking effect, despite the barrage of air against which the car was pushing. That's how slick the body and the wheel bearings are. The moment I touched the brake pedal, however, the rear wing deployed out and up 55 degrees into its airbrake position, and with further pressure on the pedal the speed simply vanished–no fuss or drama.
Why buy one of these cars? More to the point, if you can do it without personally going the way of Lehman Brothers, why not? Everything else is simply not a Veyron.
The Veyron Buyer
Who would spend two or three million bucks on a car? It's a small but broad gamut, spanning the guy who puts only low triple-digit mileage annually on each car in his collection to the devil-may-care enthusiast who drives his Veyron to Starbucks. Every buyer except one, so far, has been male, and the demographic is predictably lofty: typically mid-40s to early 50s, net worth $200 million, owns 15 cars and puts about 1,500 miles on the Veyron in a year, according to Bugatti U.S. market manager John Hill. The Veyron market thus far has been split about equally among North America, Europe and the Middle East.

Rouhani: I Had To Answer Qalibaf In Debate
An EA correspondent writes: the video below --- showing moderate candidate Hassan Rouhani in his car --- was recorded after last night's debate.
At the beginning of the video someone on the road tells Rouhani well done and the man with him says he appreciates Rouhani for the answers he gave in the debate, and asks him what he thought about it.
Rouhani says: "I didn't want to answer him [Principlist candidate Mohammad-Baqer Qalibaf] like that but when I saw that he was not telling the truth, I had to say something to make sure people understand everything properly and also for historical records. I had so many things to say but I wanted to follow morality. Unfortunately some people place justice and truth to one side in competition."
