Government Hostage Takers As we head into the second week of Tea-Party-inflicted government shutdown we begin with the BTV FIRST WORD by Charles P. Pierce at Esquire's The Politics Blog This Is What They Want since you'll need this to understand the rest! Let's just spitball a bit here. Right now, even if their campaign of public vandalism ended at this very moment, the Republicans would still have three-quarters of a loaf because the status quo ante would be a federal budget at (or beneath) the spending levels mandated by The Sequester. Given that, what possible reason do the Republicans -- or, at least, those Republicans who are currently driving the strategy now -- have not to keep the government shut down not only through the upcoming debt ceiling fight, but for most of the rest of Barack Obama's term? (Chris Christie might not be president? Too bad.) There is no serious effort within the party's dwindling Sane People's Caucus to rein these people in -- Peter King? Please. -- and there's no power outside the party structure that's stronger than the combination of safe districts and independent money that has created the monkeyhouse in the first place. Their concern for the general national interest isn't worthy of discussion. They are doing what they want to do. They are getting what they want.
- You know, I think you may see a partial shutdown for several days. But [Fox and Friend co-host] Steve [Doocy], people are probably going to realize they can live with a lot less government than what they thought they needed," she said, prompting host Brian Kilmeade to add, "it's like the sequester all over."
CASE IN POINT: NYT's SABRINA TAVERNISE and ROBERT GEBELOFF confirm Millions of Poor Are Left Uncovered by Health Law A sweeping national effort to extend health coverage to millions of Americans will leave out two-thirds of the poor blacks and single mothers and more than half of the low-wage workers who do not have insurance, the very kinds of people that the program was intended to help, according to an analysis of census data by The New York Times. Because they live in states largely controlled by Republicans that have declined to participate in a vast expansion of Medicaid, the medical insurance program for the poor, they are among the eight million Americans who are impoverished, uninsured and ineligible for help. ...... "The irony is that these states that are rejecting Medicaid expansion — many of them Southern — are the very places where the concentration of poverty and lack of health insurance are the most acute," said Dr. H. Jack Geiger, a founder of the community health center model. "It is their populations that have the highest burden of illness and costs to the entire health care system." ....... Every state in the Deep South, with the exception of Arkansas, has rejected the expansion. Opponents of the expansion say they are against it on exclusively economic grounds, and that the demographics of the South — with its large share of poor blacks — make it easy to say race is an issue when it is not. ......
And at OpEdNews.com Elizabeth Warren: This is Democracy ...... It's time to end the debate about whether the Affordable Care Act should exist and whether it should be funded. Congress voted for this law. President Obama signed this law. The Supreme Court upheld this law. The President ran for reelection on this law. His opponent said he would repeal it -- and his opponent lost by five million votes. Right now, Republicans are taking the government and the economy hostage, threatening serious damage to both unless the President agrees to gut the Affordable Care Act. For days, they even tried to change the law so that employers can deny women access to birth control coverage. I am the mother of a daughter and the grandmother of granddaughters. I will never vote to let a group of backward-looking ideologues cut women's access to birth control. We have lived in that world, and we are not going back. Not ever. I see things like this and I wonder what alternate reality some of my colleagues are living in. So let me be very clear about what is happening in the real world: The Affordable Care Act is the law of the land. Millions of people are counting on it -- people who need health care coverage, people who need insurance policies that don't disappear just when they are sickest. The law is here to stay, and it will stay. ............. The threats may continue, but they are not working and they never will. In a democracy, hostage tactics are the last resort for those who can't win their fights through elections, can't win their fights in Congress, can't win their fights for the Presidency, and can't win their fights in Courts. For this right-wing minority, hostage-taking is all they have left -- a last gasp of those who cannot cope with the realities of our democracy. ........
From BeforeItsNews.com Banks Plan National Cyber-Attack Drill FS-ISAC Financial Institution CAPP Exercise October 16 – 17, 2013 and October 23 – 24, 2013 JUST THE SAME TIME URBAN DRILLS ARE TAKING PLACE WITH INT'L MILITARY ON AMERICAN SOIL
More than 1,000 banks will test their incident response strategies by participating in a simulated cyber-attack exercise. SWACHA's Dennis Simmons says the drill, which is open to more participants, will help bolster defenses. Banks are interested in testing their defenses in the wake of recent cyber-attacks, says Simmons, president and CEO of SWACHA, a regional payments association. Those attacks include account-takeover attempts linked to phishing and ACH and wire fraud, as well as distributed-denial-of-service attacks that are sometimes waged as modes of distraction to veil fraud.

Matthew L. Wald at the paper of wreck-ord warns As Worries Over the Power Grid Rise, a Drill Will Simulate a Knockout Blow The electric grid, as government and private experts describe it, is the glass jaw of American industry. If an adversary lands a knockout blow, they fear, it could black out vast areas of the continent for weeks; interrupt supplies of water, gasoline, diesel fuel and fresh food; shut down communications; and create disruptions of a scale that was only hinted at by Hurricane Sandy and the attacks of Sept. 11. This is why thousands of utility workers, business executives, National Guard officers, F.B.I. antiterrorism experts and officials from government agencies in the United States, Canada and Mexico are preparing for an emergency drill in November that will simulate physical attacks and cyberattacks that could take down large sections of the power grid. They will practice for a crisis unlike anything the real grid has ever seen, and more than 150 companies and organizations have signed up to participate. ...... "If we fail at electricity, we're going to fail miserably," Curt Hébert, a former chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, said at a recent conference held by the Bipartisan Policy Center. Mr. Harrell said that previous exercises were based on the expectation that electricity "would be up and running relatively quick" after an attack. ........ Most of the participants will join the exercise from their workplaces, with NERC (North American Electric Reliability Corporation), in Washington, announcing successive failures. ..... This was from last August so keep an eye out to see when they announce the "grid failure exercise".

In Climate News John Vidal at The Guardian asks Is the IPCC right on climate change? Just ask the world's farmers European development groups have reported that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's latest scientific assessment of the phenomenon matches the observations and experiences of farming and other groups they partner in Africa, Asia and Latin America.
The IPCC scientists, who acknowledge they often have only sketchy rainfall and temperature data for many areas in developing countries, say global temperatures have risen, extreme weather is more frequent and rainfall less predictable. If emissions are not cut dramatically, they say, the world can expect steady sea-level and temperature rises, more extreme weather and less certain rainfall. "Climate change is a reality here. We can see the impacts everywhere. There are new insects on our crops because of higher temperatures here. We can't produce now without spraying the crops," said a Bolivian farmer, Alivio Aruquipa, who lives in La Granja, near La Paz and works with Christian Aid partner group Agua Sustentable (Care). ......... "The latest climate science affirms what small-scale farmers around the world are telling us, that seasons are changing, weather is increasingly extreme and unpredictable making it tougher to feed their families," said Oxfam in a new briefing paper. "It is important to recognise that climate change is happening at the same time as vulnerabilities are changing drastically. Of the 3 billion people who live in rural areas in developing countries, 2.5 billion are involved in agriculture, and 1.5 billion live in small farmer households. Many are perilously exposed to changes in the climate, meaning that too much rain, or too little, can be the difference between having enough food or living in hunger." ....... Camilla Toulmin, director of the International Institute for Environment and Development, said the report confirmed that human activities were responsible for increased climate instability. "But there is also value in what the IPCC report does not say, such as how the climate will change from place to place. Climate models are not yet robust enough to predict impacts at local and regional scales, but it is clear from the experience of the many people with whom we work, who have faced loss and damage this year alone, that everybody is vulnerable in some way. This uncertainty about local impacts, coupled with the certainty that impacts will come, is a stark warning that everyone needs to get ready. Citizens and business leaders worldwide need to press governments to act, both at home and on the international stage." We're not holding our breath, Ms. Toulmin.
Kevin Collier at The Daily Dot tells us Why Edward Snowden's favorite secure email service really shut down ...... But finally, with newfound court permission, Levison went public Wednesday evening. He posted on his legal defense fund website that the government had gone overboard in requesting information on "several Lavabit user accounts." He clarified to the New York Times that at least one of those accounts was indeed Snowden's. That alone wouldn't have meant the end of Lavabit. Levison said he'd complied with around two dozen other federal demands for individual user information. ........ The real reason he closed shop, Levison said on his defense fund site, is that Judge Claude Hilton ordered him to give up the very encryption keys to his site. He fined him $5,000 a day in contempt of court as he refused. "In fact, the FBI agents even admitted their intention to collect passwords in transit so they could access emails protected by Lavabit's encrypted storage feature," Levison wrote. Levison's still fighting that court order. His defense fund notes that without the site, he's lost his main source of income. He's currently raised $56,485 out of his goal $96,000.
NEXT Chris Strohm at Bloomberg News writes NSA Tried Tracking Movements With Phone Data, Chief Says (1) via BusinessInsider.com The National Security Agency ran tests using mobile-phone data to track Americans' movements until determining the information lacked intelligence value, the agency's director said. The NSA tested samples of bulk location information on U.S. mobile phones in 2010 and 2011 to see whether the data format could be used in its computer systems, General Keith Alexander told the Senate Judiciary Committee during a hearing in Washington today. It was the first time the agency has discussed using mobile-phone data to track Americans' locations. The data wasn't used in actual surveillance operations, Alexander said, and he didn't provide details. "It was test data, and what we couldn't find was operational value out of it given that we could just turn that over to the FBI, and they could do the cell-site location if they needed it with a warrant," Alexander said in an interview after the hearing. ........ Alexander, under questioning by Leahy, said the program has helped stop only one or two terrorist plots inside the U.S. since it was begun in 2006. Director of National Intelligence James Clapper offered a new rationale for the program during the hearing, saying it can be used to provide "peace of mind" that there aren't terrorist plots in the works. ......... The NSA isn't compiling profiles of innocent Americans using their social connections, Alexander said. He disputed a characterization in a Sept. 28 New York Times story that the agency is building graphs of some Americans' social connections that can identify their associates, their locations at certain times, their traveling companions and other personal information. The story relied in part on documents leaked by Snowden. "We aren't doing that," Alexander said. "The insinuation that we're doing that is flat out wrong." Sure it is.

- Our permit to occupy public squares and parks is in The First Amendment, which affirms "the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." When people across the Middle East occupied public squares, leaders in Washington mostly cheered those protesters and warned Middle Eastern governments not to use force to clear them. Those other societies don't have a First Amendment. Yet Washington affirmed the universal right to assembly and protest. We do have a First Amendment. The force being used to clear nonviolent protesters from public squares in our country is unacceptable. It must stop.

NET NEUTRALITY! SaveTheInternet.com Declaration of Internet Freedom Tired of fighting bad bills like SOPA, PIPA and CISPA? Want to stand up against those who are trying to control what we do and say online? It's time for something different. A group of more than 1,500 organizations, academics, startup founders and tech innovators has come together to produce a Declaration of Internet Freedom, a set of five principles that put forward a positive vision of the open Internet. Our goal: Get millions of Internet users to sign on to this Declaration. Build political power for Internet users to make sure that we get a seat at the table whenever, and wherever, the future of the Internet is being decided. It's time to stop playing defense and start going on the offensive. The open Internet is central to people's freedom to communicate, share, advocate and innovate in the 21st century. But powerful interests want to censor free speech, block the sharing of information, hinder innovation and control how Internet users get online. And all too often, people in power are making political decisions behind closed doors about how the Internet should operate — and they're doing this without the involvement of actual Internet users. The result: policies that could close down the open Internet and destroy our freedom to connect. It's time for us to reclaim the Internet for its users. Take action now and sign the Declaration of Internet Freedom. ACTION! Meet the New CISPA. Same as the Old CISPA. Last year, thanks to a public outcry, the effort to pass overreaching cybersecurity legislation stalled in the Senate. Now supporters have reintroduced the House version of that legislation — the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA). The "new" version is in fact identical to the original CISPA — and poses the same threat to our digital civil liberties. If CISPA becomes law, it will be a major blow to our online privacy. But more than that, CISPA's passage would have a chilling effect on our freedom to connect online. We won't feel as free to state unpopular opinions, or to speak truth to power, if we know that Big Brother could get a feed of everything we say and do. This is not what the free and open Internet is about. We must tell Congress: Vote NO on CISPA and bury this bill for good.

Worse, Genachowski and Murdoch are keeping this all very hush-hush, hoping you won't notice.3 These changes wouldn't just benefit Murdoch. If the FCC proposal passes, one company could own the major daily newspaper, two TV stations and up to eight radio stations in your town. And that one company could be your Internet provider, too. What is the FCC thinking?!? We can still stop the agency from taking this perilous step — but we have less than a month to do it. By taking action, you're joining a movement of millions who are working to stop big media from getting even bigger. Please take action today.

REPRESENT.US IT'S TIME TO GET MONEY OUT OF POLITICS SO THE GOVERNMENT CAN REPRESENT US. Represent.Us is a fresh campaign to pass the American Anti-Corruption Act: a law that would overhaul campaign finance, impose strict lobbying and conflict of interest laws, and end secret political money. We are mobilizing millions of Americans — conservatives and progressives, young and old, every issue group fighting K Street, online and offline — to join this campaign. Represent.Us is not just building a movement to pass the Act. The campaign will use hard-hitting accountability tactics to unseat politicians who fail to endorse the Act. If passed, the Act will completely reshape American politics and policy-making and give people a voice.

In the second half, Max interviews Dr Michael Hudson of michael-hudson.com about the global economic policies turning the UK into Greece and the U.S. into Latvia and a world in which only the little companies make profits.

Oh wow. Cranberry and pear....what an original combination.
I know. But seriously, it's popular for a reason. In the past I've used canned pears in my scones (purely due to laze), this time I used fresh pears, which added just a bit of crunch to the scone and was really just a whole lot of lovely.
If you wanted to add a little bit of ginger or cardamon that's probably a good idea.
Slightly adapted from: Nigel's Scones
3 C flour
3/4 c sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
3/4 c unsalted butter
1 cup buttermilk
3/4 cup fresh cranberries
1 pear - cut into small pieces
1. Combine flour, sugar, baking soda, and baking powder
2. cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Form a well and add in buttermilk. Use your hands and mix the ingredients together.
3. Add in the extras. Divide the dough into two equally sized rounds and cut each into 6 pieces.
4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and bake for about 20 minutes or until they just start to turn golden brown.

Forte Village Resort, Sardinia: Martin Johnson's Rugby Academy
In the shadow of the mottled Sulcis mountains in southern Sardinia I read four books in a week, swam half a mile a day and acquired a handsome suntan. For an antediluvian mother with sports-crazy sons, that qualifies as a miracle of the Old Testament variety. Martin Johnson helped. You know what he's like.
I had enrolled my nine-year-old son, Reg, in a Rugby Academy within the Forte Village Resort. His coaches included Austin Healey (51 England caps), the Telegraph columnist Will Greenwood (55 England caps), Dean Ryan (six England caps), and the fabled Johnson himself (84 England caps). Reg is a sporty little boy who plays football for his school, but like most state primaries, his does not teach rugby. His dad and I are passionate rugger fans and we wanted to ignite his enthusiasm before the big adventure of big school next year.
Forty children joined the course, including 10 girls (one had recently switched from ballet to rugby) and sessions took place every morning. Additional coaches included the elite players Anthony "Campo" Campbell and Jim Hamilton-Smith, and they rotated through the age groups so that every child had the opportunity to train with each coach. It was amusing to see the 6ft 7in Johnson practising tackles with a five-year-old girl with pigtails.
I was amazed at the amount of personal attention Reg received as he progressed through the technical stuff. All the coaches knew his name by the end of the first day, and as rugby is nickname city, soon all the children had one – a Jasper was Carrot, an Italian boy was Nero and Reg was Tasmanian Devil, shortened to TD. The guys were always there for the kids. "We teach it as we learnt it," said Greenwood, "the old-fashioned way. There's an emotional investment. Our motto is 'Legendary Shared Experience'."
Why Sardinia? Roman Abramovich, a regular visitor to Forte Village, used to enjoy kicking a football around with his children, his bodyguards and the general manager, Lorenzo Giannuzzi. He conceived the idea of a training school at the village run by in-house coaches from the Chelsea Academy in Britain. The school is now a major draw. When Ed Rusling, the entrepreneur and rugby enthusiast, met Healey and Greenwood at Forte Village three years ago (they were all on family holidays), they came up with a plan for a rugger equivalent and went home to found Superskills, the company that runs the academy.
Our week wasn't just about rugby. Superskills organised guided mountain biking, adult sporting events and a bombing-and-diving competition. Healey presided over the last, sitting on the edge of the pool with his feet in the water. At the end the adults had a go – including Greenwood's 69-year-old father-in-law, making it a three-generation event.
The academy was quite a family affair all-round. During coaching sessions fathers held tackle pads while mothers worked out on the touchlines with a punishing personal trainer. The coaches behave like a family, and they spread the love. One night a set of parents had a wedding anniversary, and Greenwood and his wife took charge of their children so that the couple could have a quiet meal. Among themselves, the players practise a kind of chain joking. Greenwood told me by the pool one day that it was important to remind Healey that he only came fourth in Strictly. Another time, Greenwood was holding forth on the nefarious effects of the internet on children's sporting participation ("When I was a kid in Blackburn…" ). I said he sounded like Freddie Trueman. "He looks like Freddie Trueman," quipped Healey.
Forte Village itself, close to Pula, is the second-largest employer in Sardinia (the biggest is an oil refinery). Having changed hands several times over the past decade, the resort has found a stable berth within the Eleganzia Leisure Group. Fifteen hundred clients were in residence while I was there, half to play sport and half to lie around the pool reading Fifty Shades of Grey.
A destination of that size is never going to be an oasis of peace. Punters and staff alike buzzed around irritatingly in golf buggies, and in the evening a cabaret act blasting away in the piazza was stupendous in its awfulness. That said, there was so much on offer for children that I barely saw Reg during the day. And the numerous staff (95 per cent Sardinian) were wonderful. As was the food. At the Dune restaurant overlooking the Mediterranean, the dazzlingly gorgeous maître d', Massimo Murroni, previously at the Dorchester, told me not to bother with the menu but to tell him what I liked. I said I liked grilled lobster and king prawns with no sauce and no butter and a side order of grilled vegetable. And that's what I got.
Many children at the rugby sessions were enjoying their second or third visits. Ian Blackett from Northumberland has brought his two sons to four rugby academies in two years – he came in the June half term this year and immediately rebooked for July.
"Jimbo [10] was always shy," he said, "and Healey brought out the best in him. After one academy we sent videos to Healey and he identified problems in Jimbo's passing and emailed advice. It really boosted his confidence, and we've seen the difference in him at school. Our eldest son [12] could be quicker, and this time Healey brought bands specially to help him with his running. It's aspirational. The children see what can be achieved."
On the touchline during a water break, Will, 10, from Petersfield, explained why he was enjoying the week so much. "Most coaches are really strict, but this lot make you have fun while you learn." A charming little girl called Ellie Mae said she was having a wonderful time. "Who's your favourite coach?" I asked. "My dad," she said. Her surname was Healey.
Forte Village is popular with Italian footie stars – Reg was furious that we had just missed Fabio Grosso. It's even more popular with Russians, so copies of Izvestiya appeared each day and waiters offered menus in Cyrillic. Someone told me that late in the evenings oligarchs beat the living daylights out of resort supplies of Cristal champagne at £2,000 a pop. I was unable to verify this as I went to bed at 10. That's what it's come to.
If your offspring are not sporty, Forte Village makes an effort to keep them amused. I showed Reg the programme at the Tigers' Club (for ages seven to 10). One morning session, "Let's Knead the Biscuits", was followed by an afternoon event billed "Let's Taste the Biscuits". We didn't bother with that.
At the awards ceremony on the last night, each child received a personalised video. "I thought it was brilliant," Reg said on the plane as the Sardinian mountains shrank beneath us. "The coaches were all really nice and it was really exhilarating. Austin has a good connection with the kids. Johnno is very good at coaching. Will is both those things. Jim is very organised and very nice. Campo is very, very nice. I think I want to take up rugby."
You may not think it's poetry, but it was to me.
Rugby camps with Jason Robinson and Jason Leonard coaching take place from August 18 and August 25 and can be booked through SuperSkills Travel (01858 545918; superskillstravel.com).
Prices start at £4,399 for a family of four (two adults and two children under 12), staying half board for seven nights in the four-star Il Villaggio. This includes private airport transfers but not flights.
Superskills also runs an adult ski academy near Chamonix, and children's cricket schools at both Forte Village and in the Caribbean.
Forte Village offers other academies (not run by Superskills) teaching swimming, golf, tennis and dance.

Happy New Year!
This is the Lee boot cut jeans with my silver rayon Jalie 2919 Pleated Cardigan, over a blue acetate slinky sleeveless, cowl-less Loes Hinse's Cowl Top. This will be the last time you'll see this particular top; literally as I was walking out the door I glanced down and saw 4 or 5 teeniny pinkish spots on the front of the top where apparently a bleaching agent of some sort had splashed it sometime in the past. I didn't have time to change before we left, but it was retired from the wardrobe when I got home.
Fortunately, I have 3 yards or so of royal blue bamboo jersey from last year's buying frenzy (I'll update the sidebar totals and talk about last year's accomplishments later this week), so I can replace it...if I can just find time to get to the sewing machine... ;-)

New Powers New Governance
And Executive Assistant, Justin Peters
These are heady times at City Hall, in Toronto and in the Province of Ontario. When he introduced legislation to reform Toronto's municipal government, Dalton McGuinty kept an election promise to the residents of this City. When a panel of outside experts, appointed by Toronto City Council, introduced their report "The City We Want, the Government We Need" David Miller kept his election promise to the people of this City.
There's been a lot of negativity spread about these two documents, the proposed City of Toronto Act and "The City We Want" report. Unfortunately, that sells papers and even gets some folk re-elected for the umpteenth time. I'm generally a more positive person. I prefer to acknowledge when there is a bright side and promote working collaboratively on the 'not so bright' side. That's how I view these two documents and I encourage all residents to make up their own mind. What kind of City do you want? We have the opportunity to open City Hall to the people, to become more accountable, to empower the Mayor while strengthening local input earlier in the process.
As for the City of Toronto Act, I welcome the recognition by the Province that Toronto is indeed a unique City in Ontario. I am proud that together with the Province, we turned 280 pieces of legislation into one Act. We've changed the dialogue between Ontario and Toronto from one of parenthood to partnership. However, the proposed Act does not solve everything. We have not fully finished our work with the Province to put Toronto City Hall on sound financial footing with a system of good governance.
The New City of Toronto Act proposes some great changes. The Act taken together with our own reforms at City Hall propose to simplify decision making, empower residents in their neighbourhoods and heighten accountability. For instance, the proposal that an Executive Committee be appointed by the Mayor, will only formalize what has been Council's practice in that Council generally elects the Mayor's preferences to the Chairs of standing committees. The Chairs then form an informal core executive.
There is much ado about this concept and yet it was a common practice in even the legacy cities. An official executive Committee makes the Mayor more accountable for appointing a balanced group. In my view, the Mayor should have the ability to move his mandate forward while respecting the voice of our respective communities which will continue to be delivered by Ward Councillors. An even stronger centralized model in New York City has proven that outside of the offices of Executive Council and the Mayor, Ward councillors are liberated to form a very strong voice of opposition when needed and to demand constant accountability from the executive. The Toronto proposal doesn't go as far, but I suspect that the resulting Ward Council body will be just as formidable.
The document "The City We Want, the Government We Need" is based on interviews with hundreds of informed citizens from diverse backgrounds. The panel also reviewed the Listening to Toronto Budget consultations, the Justice Bellamy Report (the MFP inquiry) and joint public consultations the City and Province have conducted on these issues. Many of the proposed reforms are spot on. Some need work or to be deleted. However, there are only so many models to follow when organizing government.
Not having to seek the Premier's approval for speed humps is great and will certainly expedite our legislative process at City Hall. But it doesn't do anything to fix the leaky roofs on Social Housing that has been added to your property tax bill. And it doesn't pay for under-subsidized provincially mandated programs. Those two shortfalls make up 75% of our annual overall Budget shortfall.
Thankfully Paul Martin's re-direction of Federal Gas Tax dollars towards transit and transportation infrastructure will also help the City start to address its infrastructure deficit. His government's waiving of the GST for Toronto has also significantly improved our financial position. These kinds of long-term agreements are what Toronto needs to be able to finally build a sustainable amalgamated Mega-City and especially to compete with employment centres around the world in the global marketplace.
Toronto's proposed governance model will be the subject of more local consultation in the New Year. The Premier's office is adamant, and rightfully so, that we have this important governance structure complete ready to be in place for the Municipal election next fall. Please contact my office for further information, to voice your opinion or to get a copy of the Act or the City's Governance Report. This is too important to leave up to the politicians!
Next Up: Upon our return to work January 3rd, look for more on the proposed legislative change to the Ontario Municipal Board. (Hint: The piece will start with the words: Not a minute too soon!)

- I ran away from teaching to the country to grow veggies. There are also some chooks and a pair of troublesome goats who were so much trouble they had to go! My simple green life isn't always as simple or as green as I'd like...but I keep trying!

Any news of the goats..? Hopefully living the life of Riley in their "hotel".ReplyDelete
Hazel, it's so grey and wet in eastern Australia that everything is looking a bit yellow. I know I am and possibly the Cook is too. The cuke will perk up.ReplyDelete
Totally understand. I never want to go away in Spring again! All Winter holidays from now on so I don't have to fret about my garden.ReplyDelete
I don't know why this is making me giggle, but it is. I can just see your face go grey halfway around the world.ReplyDelete
People who take international holidays obviously need to make sacrifices :D
Why Ali! I can feel the love from here...you are so, so compassionate! You also need to know that I had another email and my seedlings have carked it because the Cook slept in on a hot day and didn't vent the greenhouse. Boo hoo hoo! Poor little broccoli. Mind you, I am not sorry I came over. I am having a lovely time with my son and DIL and the kids. Although it has taken till today for my grand daughter to stop screaming every time I am within three metres of her. LOLReplyDelete
Hope the cucumber plant makes it!ReplyDelete
it is all worth it in the end have a lovely time.ReplyDelete
hope your nursing/mad scientist skills soon defeat the foe!ReplyDelete

Mental health parity laws are a step in the right direction, but is only the smallest step since it still does nothing for the uninsured. Universal health care would do a great deal toward resolving the problem, but since that is unlikely to happen in the near future, we as a nation need to think seriously about addressing the problem with an interim solution. Access to appropriate pharmacological and cognitive therapy would prevent so many "downstream" social ills - how much homelessness, abuse, and crime is due to untreated mental disorders?
*sigh* But I suppose similar arguments could be made for better access to prenatal care, preventative health care, improved health education, and access to urgent care through non-ED locations. I'd happily make those arguments, but I'm pretty sure they'd be wasted air too. Again, I really believe that some level of universal health care would prevent so many social ills and, though expensive to implement, actually save money in the long run. Education and early treatment would lead to lower medical costs per patient, fewer ED visits, and just generally improved public health. (Yeah, yeah, yeah. Insert your objections about long lines for health care and substandard care - I've lived in countries that had universal health care and know lots of folks who have been their their whole life - minor delays and selected non-covered services pale in comparison to the widespread utter lack of medical care we have here. Something > Nothing.)
It's not even just wishful thinking - they ran a study on it in Madison where they gave free healthcare to ED patients who did not have insurance and then tracked the costs pre-and post-enrollment in the program. Even with covered medical visits, counseling, education, and medications, it was cheaper to provide those services than to pay for the ambulance rides, ED visits, and hospital stays that otherwise were absorbed by the hospitals and local health services.
Again, I really wish I ruled the world: Universal health care, active campaigns to destigmatize mental health conditions, radically improved public health education...

It was sweltering on the pavement the day I took myself in for an abortion. Two crowded buses to an outer-city suburb, on one a man was pressing his erect penis up against my back as we stood hanging onto cords.
The abortion clinic didn't look clean but the stench of bleach was profound. The staff were practical and kind rather than sentimental, which I appreciated. Those who could afford to pay paid, those who couldn't didn't.
I waited with teenagers and their pimply, put-out boyfriends. Teenagers with their mothers who looked worried, firm, stressed. Older women with male partners. I waited with middle-aged women who had come alone, like me. I didn't like being in a waiting room with boys and men, but there wasn't a separate space, and I didn't begrudge other females needing their own terms of support. Some of the men were perving on other females. Poor girls and women, thinking this is maybe one day your man is going to treat you better….
Outside the 'pro-life' team were a small group, with a card-table of flyers of warnings and salvation. One man holding a placard of a fetus in utero stating ,"This is who you are killing". Yeah, I know, I said to myself, I didn't come here for a tooth extraction. They didn't yell and they didn't grab- it was a semi-silent vigil.
There was an on-staff counsellor to make sure abortion was the decision I wanted. I cried, I was scared, but I had made my decision.
Back to the waiting room until the call (it seemed like hours- it was almost two I think. Some of us had been awake for 8 hours without a sip of water which is normal in these procedures.)
A hospital gown and being taken to the operating theatre. The counsellor took my hand as, with my legs in stirrups, ("move your bottom down, no, bit further, no further- that's it") they counted me down into twilight sleep.
I woke in a cot vomiting into a surgical tray next to girls and women in various stages of consciousness. I was starving.
The effects of sedation made me feel "just fine" to leave but they told me to wait and the plastic cups of hot, sweet tea and packets of Arnott's Family Assortment' biscuits were like a revelation. Like I'd never had them before.
"You out of it?" grinned a groggy girl beside me.
"Has to be something good about this", I smiled back.
To a nurse I said, "I so wanna a cigarette!"
"I know! You just have to wait!" – her smile whizzed past.
It wasn't long before I was awake enough to put on my jeans and go out side onto the narrow verandah. I sat there smoking watching the 'pro-lifers', tired of them (not angry- just tired), and grieving my aborted fetus. Knowing my decision was right, but grief seemed only permissable on their terms.
Suddenly an older woman came out the same door I had, she was in tears. She didn't want to intrude but…? I gave her my hand.
"My daughter is in there. Did you have to walk through these people? She had to walk through these people!"- voice quiet, shaking, raging.
" I'm so sorry."
"Are you okay?" she asked me. ( Here is a woman, I thought- getting right to the person before her- extending solidarity of care.)
"I'm okay."
"You're being brave. You can't be okay. Look at these people. They have no idea. No right."
I was still sedated but looked at them again. I turned my head up and down the street. Had the pavement cracked with heat I wouldn't have been surprised. Dead gardens and some limp hoses slugged out globs of useless water.
I saw the cars adorned with 'Pro-life" stickers. Run-down, banged up cars- cars that people who can barely afford gas let alone air-conditioning drove.
I shook myself back to the woman beside me.
"No they shouldn't be here. Hey, if you're wondering, the procedure is painless, fast and your daughter will be drinking tea in about – ooh- seven minutes.She'll be okay."
Of course, I couldn't promise that. She may have felt dreadful. The procedure may have got messed up. She may have been sick as a dog. I just knew it wasn't likely.
After I picked up my script to take to the pharmacy I left through the front entrance and wound my way relatively unmolested through the small sad group. Cramps were kicking in. A woman approached me shyly and handed me a flyer about Jesus. She told me she would pray for the spirit of my aborted child. I think I said "thank you."
Walking alone up the street I saw children packed in the protester's old cars, in abominable heat. Staring out at the abortion clinic, staring at their parents, staring at me.
I turned and called back to the woman who was praying and the surrounding group, "You need to get those kids out of those cars or they'll die."
There was some fussing around and a lot of shocked faces and even the placard man was silent.
"Get them out or I'll call the police. I'm gonna wait here until they're out of those cars and I see them with water."
It occurred to me the only shade the kids could have was under the abortion clinic verandah. A predicament for the girls and women having to put up with the protesters.
"You see those trees right up there?" The group turned and peered, shading their eyes in glaring sun, way down the street, looking to where I was pointing.
They nodded.
"Well, get them out of those cars, there's a tap in the park. I mean it!"
I got home to my toddler and we read stories. She delighted in "camping food".
Beans on toast for dinner.

Jurors Quotes
When you have two highly placed cooperators, it eases the prosecution's burden substantially. At the same time, when you're faced with officers who are trying a hear-no-evil, see-no-evil defense, your corroborator is bolstered because the hear-no-evil see-no-evil defense just doesn't strike jurors as common sense. - Kendall Coffey
We plan to refile in Stanislaus County and file this time with a lengthy legal brief educating the jurors themselves, written in English, so they can understand what the issue of subject matter jurisdiction is all about. We don't expect them to understand it they've only listened to one attorney and he's the attorney we believed was already corrupted, this proves it. - Jim Robinson

"He is probably the reason my husband is alive today."
Helen Mills, of Mission Viejo, is speaking about Dr. Mark Wedel, of Temecula, who helped her 75-year-old husband receive a kidney transplant after being denied by three hospitals in 2008.
"We felt this isn't what God wants for us so we kind of accepted that and moved on," said Mills.
About a year after they were denied, Helen Mills was up late with her husband one night when during a TV show she found out about the National Kidney Registry. She called early the next morning and was given the number of Wedel, an intensive care doctor who happened to attend the same church she did.
"I mean, how random is that?" said Mills.
With more than 20 years in medicine, Wedel was guided the Millses through the process of getting approved and in July 2011, Bill Mills received his kidney transplant.
Wedel, who received a kidney transplant from a friend just a year before meeting the Millses, decided more people could use his experience from both the doctor's perspective, as well as a patient's viewpoint, and started penning a book, "So You're Thinking About Kidney Transplantation."
Like Bill Mills, Wedel went to multiple hospitals in California before getting his transplant at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. Also, like the Millses he was not told about the living donor program.
"All the information readers need is in this book," said Wedel.
Wedel said the majority of patients with kidney failure are told to go on dialysis, which he said has the worst outcomes. He said kidneys transplanted from living donors are best because they last nearly twice as long as kidneys transplanted from deceased donors.
A living donor kidney functions, on average, 12 to 20 years, and a deceased donor kidney from 8 to 12 years.
"The more you know the better your outcome," said Wedel.

British beauty Kate Moss teams up again with Terry Richardson for the latest Mango spring 2012 campaign.
"Kate Moss was chosen as the image of Mango because she is a world-famous fashion icon, making her one of the most sought-after models in the fashion world," a Mango retailer told WWD "She had a turbulent past, which she has put behind her to continue being a supermodel, and has recently married and become a mother. After two decades appearing on catwalks worldwide, she has demonstrated that she is the top model par excellence."

It's incredible that 10 years have passed since Google Analytics came to be. It's something which I look at daily and for some time and so it was interesting to read about which features people used more than others.
I guess there are no huge surprises for me but it is always interesting to see what others are doing and see if I am missing something.
More than two-thirds of Google Analytics users have set up custom reports.
There's really no excuse not to try these out for yourself, given the amount of templates out in the wild for you to make use of, and the fast insight that Custom Reports can give you.
What else? Event Tracking and Advanced Segments are popular, but the rest of these features are only used by a minority of users.
Content Experiments is a major laggard, though it seems that this might be less to do with the adoption of A/B testing and more linked to the difficulties in implementing Google's kit.
The way Google Analytics is configured makes it tricky for marketing professionals to set up Content Experiments without the help of the tech team.
By contrast, other testing tools, such as Optimizely, are way easier to configure and continue to gain a lot of traction.
Other Google Analytics features such as Intelligence Events, Data Import and Enhanced Ecommerce are in need of more love, with fewer than one in five users bothering to make use of them.

Seth Rollins talks about WWE Performance Center
In the latest episode of Brad Maddon's YouTube series This Show Brad Made, Maddox debates whether he should quit his current job and find a new one. He said that he didn't want to quit, 'but it's been eight months now'. He noted that the free paychecks won't be coming forever. An Elsa doll makes an appearance at the end advising Maddox to 'let it go'.
As noted earlier, James Delow spoke to Seth Rollins on talkSPORT's new WWE podcast Gorilla Position. During the interview, Rollins discussed the WWE Performance Center.
"It is an amazing set up and certainly an accelerated system for guys who have never, ever learnt a thing about wrestling in their life," Rollins said. "It will pay dividends going forward but to me there's no replacement for having passion, heart and desire and just working your way from the bottom up. There are so many guys to learn from, so many styles. Guys who are well-travelled made millions and millions of dollars, everything there is to know about professional wrestling.
"If you can't learn from them in everything, how to cut promos, how to be a character, how to wrestle inide the rings, the ins and outs? And on top of that, you're getting paid to train! I had to pay to train, working odd jobs? If you're getting paid to live in sunny Florida and train under the greatest minds of our era and you can't succeed, you're just not built for this. Get out of here, do something else because you're not cut out for this."
The Bella Twins will be appearing at the Wizard World Madison Comic Con this Saturday at the Alliant Energy Center in Madison, Wisconsin. The Bellas will be signing autographs and posing for photos starting at 1:00 pm before participating in a Q&A session at 3:30 p.m.
