Dance of The Red Death#2~Bethany Griffins, REVIEW!
The Final Book of the Red Death Series.
This is the second book, for the first book Masque Of the Red Death, Synopsis is here:
Characters:Araby Worth,Elliot,Will,April,Kent,Prince Prospero,Reverend Malcontent etc
I waited for a long time ( almost a whole month ) to read this book
And it turned out to be a HUGE disappointment.
Araby's world is almost destroyed, Her Father is a murderer, her mother is a captive of Prince Prospero and her best-friend April has the contagion which she might not survive
Now this an interesting synopsis and after all Masque Of The Red Death was so awesome, why shouldn't this book be too?
The Red Death is now ravaging the city, With Malcontent's men spreading the contagion through the city and Prince Prospero is not at all interested in saving it, Its up to Elliot,Araby and Will to save the city.
The first book was at least better developed, You could get lost in it,Everything added up in Masque Of The Red Death but this one…*sighs*
Now guys, If you have Read Masque Of The Red Death then you know What happened at last with Araby, those who have not; lets just say that one of the two male heroes, did something rather…upsetting to Araby Worth ( the protagonist) But our dear Araby cannot seem NOT to trust him when, on the other hand,The other guy has helped her throughout, been there for her, gave her almost every reason for her to trust him, But Araby can't trust him ! How wonderful!
The whole story was vague especially at the end Then, I could not understand anything, It seemed like more of a Diary entree, where the person can only understand what he/she wrote, what is going on and not the other nosy people.
I almost stopped reading it at several occasions but then kept reading because I thought that it would connect to me at one point, like Masque Of The Red Death did and also because I loved the chemistry between Araby and Elliot ( Remember the Crocodile scene? ) I kept waiting for a scene like that, I kept waiting for Araby to realize things which I did a lot earlier.
I could not connect to Araby AT ALL I found her irritating,selfish most of the time, Definitely not an Hero .
the Characters.. * shakes head*
Elliot? I LOVED HIM.He was just wonderful to read about, I would rather read Elliot's point of view rather than Araby's.
And Will? I don't know where to start, The reasons I hate him are endless.
It was a HUGE disappointment and the ending, I felt was just stupid!
I don't know, this is my view but I expected so much more from this one.
WARNING:If you don't like love triangles, Fast paced books, Death and an unsual style of writing.Wrong book for you!
If you want adventures, unexpected endings, grim dystopia. There you go!
Obsession~Jennifer.L.Armentrout Review!
Characters:Serena Cross,Hunter,Dex,Lore,Senator Vanderson,Mel
Serena Cross, witnesses her friend's murder and now is sent to live under the protection of an Hot, arrogant alien..hmmm
I started this stand alone novel Adult Novel, because of Lux series and JLA ( because her writing is that awesome
Serena Cross is a 23 year old Independent woman, whose best-friend, Mel witnesses something unnatural happening to Senator's Vandersons sons, She tries to tell that to Serena and also about some project Eagle, but Serena, like a natural human, dismisses it due to the total bizarreness of the situation Mel presented.
Cost? Serena watches Mel blow up in her car..That car which lighted up like an Christmas Tree!.
Serena tells the police this and is now shit-deep in the matters Department of Defense and Aliens.
Since Project Eagle is something DOD does not know and Serena's information is vague, she is sent away for her safety till she remembers anything else, under the Care of Hunter.
Now, those of us who have read the Lux series before, know that the Arums are ultimately bad guys and Luxens are the heroes ( hello? Daemon Black! ) but, Obsession throws the light on a totally different situation, which makes us wonder who are the actual Good Guys out there.
And yes, Hunter is an Arum .
Hunter Is now this incredibly,sexy, arrogant alien who can't believe that he has to take care of a human, and extract information from her because of DOD, but as an independent girl ,Serena is not that easy to crack.
Hunter and Serena's chemistry…wow.I mean there was lust,there was hotness but there was also sweetness which was to die for and Hunter,the arrogant prick ,is seriously one of the hottest thing ever.
Only if I could lick him *sigh*
"You're not going to answer me?" Or do I need to repeat myself for a third time? It's okay. I like to hear myself talk."
This is not sexy
Now DOD is back for Serena and the a powerful Luxen wants her dead,can Hunter save Serena and can hunter save himself from the human emotions?
Holy Hell this book is just…to awesome, and JLA's writing still surprises me after Lux series and the sex scenes.. *fans herself*
"Hunter's stomach was perfection—each taut muscle tight and totally lickable. Not that I'd ever licked a man's stomach before, but now I got why someone would want to. I was in six-pack heaven."
I wish there was one more in this series…but well.
Don't miss this book!
Rating:4 and a half stars!
WARNING: If you don't like sex, arrogant hot heroes and aliens then walk away!
If you love sexy love stories, full with action,mystery and well, Lux series I BEG YOU TO PICK THIS BOOK.NOW!
"Never in my life had I been more frustrated. Go figure it wouldn't be with a human but a freaking alien. At least I now knew that the male species were asses no matter what planet they hailed from."
Silverlighters#1~Ellem May, Review!
This book is perfect for those who love YA, Romances,Bad Boys,and yep-mystery
I thank the author for giving me this book to read.
Love you Ellem!
Characters:Ellie Fitzpatrick ( Jeniffer ),Jonathon,Morgan,Beck,Melissa etc.
When I began reading this book, I had no idea that it would be so good,this book is really,a treat.
An almost 17 year old girl is thrust into an unknown world,where she is hunted.
Jeniffer lives with her dad in an apartment,when one day,something unusual happens.There is a fire in her apartment and two strangers come out of it-one of them shockingly familiar, When she goes up her apartment she finds her tough,macho dad looking scared-which he has never once been in his life.More shockingly, there is a newspaper article in which her dad and herself is listed dead in the apartment fire with the date of tomorrow.
Thrust into a strange world overnight,Jennifer has to change her identity,her past,everything and begin a new life,with one condition-never let 'them' know who she is, but will it be easy when she will find herself falling for the enemy?
Sliverlighters surprised me, the plot, the characters had a beautiful Charisma and it will bound to leave you breathless! so don't miss your chance to read it!
I was one of the beta readers, but if you love the synopsis and would like to read it, then comment!.
If you are done with love triangles, mystery,time travel, then you are done with this review too.
BUTIf you love Tortured heroes, love-hate relationships and Kickass story lines,well, this is the perfect book for you!
As those last tiny silvers pulled away from me,silvery stars streaked before my vision, and I vowed I would find the again.
They belonged to me and he had no right to take them.
Then it was over.

"Same part of 'play well with others' you never understand, O cantankerous one," I muttered.

It's a common story. The top lion, king of the jungle, gets old, and is replaced by a younger pretender. The new king struts around the Sahara, enjoying his feeling of superiority until - inevitably - he too ages, and is replaced.
Understand that even if you are the top lion today, you might not be tomorrow.
For a while brick-and-mortar retail was the top lion, until ecommerce changed the industry. Inescapably, ecommerce is changing again thanks to the prevalence of smartphones and mobile ecommerce.
Here we examine why m-commerce is poised to overtake ecommerce by 2019, and how to prepare your online store to keep up with these changes.
What is m-commerce all about?
Before we dive into the above question, it's important to define what ecommerce is. Ecommerce platform provider Shopify defines it as "a site engaged in the buying and selling of goods or services using the internet".
This include transfers of money (and data) over the web in exchange for physical products delivered via shipping.
M-commerce is ecommerce that happens via a smartphone, tablet or other mobile device.
While these terms are relatively easy to define, the lines between them are not as defined as one might assume. Studies show consumers sometimes research products online, but make the final purchase in-store - or they'll view goods on a mobile device, but buy through a desktop computer.
What is going on here? Truth be told, shoppers want to shop - and they will do so in the ways most convenient and familiar to them. Perhaps a shopper wants to hunt for anniversary gifts during their bus ride home from work, but prefers to enter their credit card information from the privacy of their home computer.
In any case, it's vital that you have an ecommerce website that works on mobile. Otherwise, you miss out on an ecommerce sale by failing to prepare for an m-commerce shopper.
What the experts are saying
According to 451 Research, the number of m-commerce transactions will overtake traditional ecommerce transactions globally by 2019. Much of this growth is being driven by China, whose online spending exceeds $1 trillion, with mobile devices as the "primary gateway to digital commerce".
Another factor appears to be the ease of processing payments through mobile devices via Apple Pay, Google Pay, and the ilk. So, instead of awkwardly typing in a delivery address and credit card information by touchscreen (possibly in public or over an unsecured Wi-Fi connection), mobile users can securely transfer funds using an electronic wallet.
451 Research anticipates that digital wallets will continue to grow in popularity, and will boost m-commerce take-up.
How to get your business ready
Now that you know the lay of the land, it's time to build your m-commerce strategy. First things first - it's best to choose an ecommerce platform provider that can handle mobile traffic. There are plenty of options out there, so do your research.
The next tip is to optimize your design and page load speeds for mobile traffic. While your desktop website might look gorgeous with high-definition photos, scrolling banner images, video elements and the like, these things make for a poor mobile experience.
Similarly, the chosen design elements from your desktop site might not render correctly on a phone or tablet screen. To avoid these problems, be sure to compress your images to allow for faster load times.
You might also want to look into AMP optimization, since Google and other search engines favour mobile-friendly sites for smartphone users. If you are building your site through a platform provider, be sure to choose a website theme that automatically works for mobile. This will save you a lot of effort, and will impress customers.
The last tip is to include single-touch checkout. This saves buyers from having to type their information in via touchscreen. Admittedly, first-time users will need to enter their personal and billing information to unlock the functionality. But once they have created an account for your e-store, they can use simply tap to complete their order.
Don't slink away from the mobile ecommerce challenge. Retain your position as top lion by following the above tips!

Allan Blooms' book, The Closing of the American Mind, reopened the debate on the value of a classic learning curriculum. In recent years the Classic Learning Core and the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of North Texas have sponsored national conferences on the core and the curriculum. The articles which appear here are among the papers presented to those conferences.
The Classic Learning Core is a distinguished curriculum for integrating the humanities requirements into a coherent sequence, a program which has been cited by the former Secretary of Education as one of four programs in the country leading to renewal in general education. It emphasizes the underlying units of knowledge, the study of class and classical books and documents, critical and creative thinking, and a thorough mastery of reading, writing, and speaking skills. This curriculum forms a coherent background in the greatest traditions of Western civilization.
Topics covered include the history and development of the liberal arts, pros and cons of the core curriculum, advantages and disadvantages of teaching the great books, the role of the liberal arts in a pluralist society, the contents of the core curriculum and pedagogy.
"The University of North Texas distinguished itself by attempting to integrate the humanities requirements into a coherent program. The essays in this book represent a continuing discussion on what should be taught in the schools and universities."—The Pilot, North Carolina

Part of my back-to-normalcy: bento! I haven't made one for the past few weeks. This was originally going to be dinner; but then I unpacked my sandwich griller, which I haven't used in a while, and decided I'd rather have a grilled sandwich and soup for dinner. (Roast beef with white cheddar spread and black olive slices, and tomato bisque, to be exact.) So I decided to make individual mini meatloaves, instead of one big one.
- Turkey meatloaf. It's the Williams-Sonoma recipe. It uses tomato paste and rosemary and is very yummy.
- Mashed parsnips. Usually I mash them with potatoes and carrots, but decided to mash them solo this time.
- Sugar snap peas.
- Cherry tomatoes. The silicone cup is convenient because I can lift it out, heat up everything else, then pop it back in.
- Sugar free black cherry Jell-O. My parents love the sugar free pudding cups (my stepdad is diabetic), and they got me addicted. I have a dark chocolate and a chocolate and vanilla swirl package in my fridge right now. But I think the the gelatin is more suitable for lunch, I don't know why.

Insight into the needs of diabetic patients in South Africa
Understanding your customers' needs is key to providing them with excellent service. Great customer care involves getting to know your customers so well that you can anticipate their needs and exceed their expectations. Ethnographic research enables you to gain emic insight into the lived realities of your customers.
Our client, one of the world's leading pharmaceutical companies approached us to provide insight into the lives of South Africans living with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. We focused specifically on their adaptation to daily life and key issues they face. We were asked to develop a patient-centric strategy and action plan to assist our Client in finding ways in which to improve their patients lives.
In order to achieve this we conducted ethnographic research with patients across the major metropolitan areas of South Africa. Spending significant time engaging with each patient in their home environment, we were able to obtain rich data on the lived reality of the disease.
We conducted in-depth interviews with patients on issues they had been dealing with since their diagnosis, focusing mainly on their adaptation to treatment, initiation to insulin and the psychological and physical effects of the disease in everyday life.
We provided our Client with a detailed audio-visual understanding of how South African's live with diabetes; as well as a patient-centric strategy that focused on how they could touch their patients' lives through better education, communication, and support – as well as improved branding and advertising.

Global Aid Network
James walked into the wheelchair clinic in Ndola, Zambia, carrying his daughter Jessy on his back. GAiN staff members, Campus Crusade for Christ Zambia staff members, and volunteers were fitting and distributing wheelchairs donated by GAiN partner, Joni and Friends' ministry Wheels for the World. Although Jessy looked to be in her teens, her father explained she actually was 34 years old. Born with severe intellectual disabilities, she then lost her ability to walk at 17.
James told team members he had been trying to find a wheelchair for her since 2009. Praise God the team had a wheelchair that suited Jessy perfectly! As the team fitted Jessy for the chair, one of the volunteers shared a booklet about the hope of Christ with James. That day, his daughter began a new life of mobility. When James returns for adjustments on Jessy's wheelchair, it will be an opportunity for him to receive follow-up from a volunteer.

Child Care Daily Report Template – Foster parents receive reimbursement for those expenses of providing a house for a foster child. For instance, in Florida, a youngster may not be asked about suspected neglect or abuse over three times or by over three adults. Until age 1 year, most children have abandoned the usage of the bottle. Accordingly, to be able to make your children become smart and fit, young parents should not ignore the daily custom of using chopsticks.
By controlling the heating and cooling of your property from any remote location, you are only making life a good deal simpler for you. Run it for a week or more to have a fantastic measure of what is going on in your life. It's simply not possible to keep the easy life when achieving a high amount of succeeding.
Most discover a good deal of their time is being spent on C and D things which have little if any value. If you don't replace the care solution for quite a while, it makes the care solution eliminate cleaning ability. Holiday time is the ideal time to forget about your own troubles and think about doing something for somebody else. Think about things which you would prefer to do during the time which you would normally spend watching TV. You are not going to spend equal amounts of time in every area or time every single day in every area. Furthermore, it actually permits people to break up their day in a manner that is quite productive for them. Everybody wants to have a very good day, but not a lot of people know what a very good day looks like much less how to create one.
Over the past ten years or so, the web has touched just about every single facet of starting and managing businesses. Check with the local government to figure out if the kind of child-care services you're providing is allowed in the area where you intend on locating. The salespeople think that taking care of their existing clients and being rewarded by means of a part of the gross profit is the whole degree of their responsibilities. For business intending to penetrate into African markets, it is extremely important to recognize which particular nations in Africa are the principal targets and for that reason recognize the most well-known languages spoken inside them. After you've been in operation for a couple of years and you've developed your reputation, you could make a full-time income. When a specific company registers a trademark for their brand, he'd get recognition, the consumers would finally able to pick their product from a line-up and there's a potential for growth.
A Strategic Business Plan is written for at least 3 decades or two years past the present budget year. Consider how you might adopt a number of the exact strategies or tools in your company. In the end, nobody can network himself to success unless he's got something to provide in the very first spot. An opportunity can help you, but nevertheless, it won't guarantee your success. Otherwise, you ought to at least have experience with different people's pets.
If you're at your job all day round or whenever you should go from the city quite frequently, you must still keep your home beneath your observation. Residential care workers should be empathetic. In light of the above mentioned, it seems that employers would be wise to think about providing as great a degree of flexibility as possible in their places of business. After all, you're the employer.


text: Shomari is a great guy. His case was one of the most challenging ones I have encountered. Although jaw surgery and extended orthodontics followed by restorative dentistry was a good option, he could not justify the time or cost. I am still amazed by the result with 12 months of rapid-adult orthodontics (Six Month Smiles), one extraction, and Fixed Bridges to replace the congenitally missing lateral incisors. Thanks Shomari for placing your trust in us and your patience..

When we moved into our house last year, we had three committed roomies and one short-term. So everything we got was in threes. In November, we added Roomate L, and have done our best to add a fourth to everything. But we failed in one place: a mail sorter. Now, Roomates L and W are moving out, and two new friends are moving in. So Roomate K and I committed to solving our problem. Here's the quick and easy craft that came of it.
First, we bought two of these super cheapies from Michael's:
Then Roomate K and I painted them, and some equally-cheap wooden letters to create our little masterpiece: A mail sorter for four (complete with our initials!).
Now all we have to do is get it on the wall, get some mail, and get Roomate K2 moved in!!

Frances Hepokoski
July 11, 1941 - July 8, 2019
Visitation will be held 11:00 a.m., until the 1:00 p.m. Funeral Service, Saturday July 13, 2019 at the Finnish Apostolic Lutheran Church, 2506 Big Lake rd., Cloquet MN.
Frances Jeanette Hepokoski of Hermantown MN died unexpectedly Monday July 8, 2019. She was born July 11, 1941 in Ashland WI to Isaac and Mayme Heiskala.
She grew up in Marengo WI in a crowded house surrounded by her 7 siblings and a large extended family in the area. She married James Hepokoski in 1962 and celebrated over 50 years of marriage before his passing in 2014. They settled in Esko, MN where they raised their family. From humble beginnings, she went on obtain a teaching degree from the Wisconsin Teachers College and later a Master of Education degree from UW-Superior. She was passionate about education and taught at several schools before becoming one of the founding members of what would later become Lake Superior College where she was an instructor until her retirement. She was a strong advocate for the disabled and underserved in the community and believed that education provided a positive path forward. Always generous with her time and efforts she enjoyed conversing with anyone she would meet and spent countless hours at the dining room table drinking coffee with friends and family. Her home was always open to anyone and many people over the years spent a few days, weeks, or months occupying the spare bedroom. She enjoyed travelling as much as possible and cherished many extended trips to Hawaii, shopping for "bargains" at second hand stores, spending weekends with her son Dan, and seeing her two beloved grandsons. One of her greatest joys was seeing others succeed and she remained relentlessly positive through much adversity while providing inspiration and encouragement to many.
She is preceded in death by her parents, her husband James, son Charles, and all of her siblings with the exception of her sister and best friend LaVerne.
Frances is survived by; her sons Tim (Leigh) Hepokoski, Scott (Melissa) Hepokoski and Dan Hepokoski as well as her cherished grandsons Brian and Mika.
Visitation will be held 11:00 a.m., until the 1:00 p.m. Funeral Service, Saturday July 13, 2019 at the Finnish Apostolic Lutheran Church, 2506 Big Lake rd., Cloquet MN.

Wales Bonner: Menswear AW17
What is it they say about a sequel never being as good as the original? Well, Wales Bonner throughly disproved that theory this evening with her second solo collection, entitled, fittingly, Spirituals II. We were greeted, upon entering the space, with a wall of speakers. A wall of speakers that would, eventually fill the room with music. Because this was about spirituals, songs sung to speak of freedom when in the darkest of places – "take it from me someday we'll all be free" – and what better moment, considering recent world events, to declare that? The clothes, as Grace has proven so deft, are collected from far off lands – "a celebration of diversity" she said backstage – delicately embellished jackets, shrunken and cropped, swathes of white fabric, perfect, modern tailoring where the proportions were just slightly skewed. Upon the heads, twists of fabric or furry caps, made by Stephen Jones. And throughout, moments of colour and pattern – lemon yellow, harlequin diamonds, houndstooth, gingham. A feast for the eyes. To end, the models walked out with their hands upon their hearts, in prayer or in protest. This was a declaration of intent from Wales Bonner – an emotive, poetic collection from a storyteller that speaks of our times. Amazing Grace. How sweet the sound.

SF's proposed tax on Uber, Lyft leads by razor-thin margin
San Francisco voters are edging closer to taxing Uber and Lyft rides.
Proposition D, which requires a two-thirds margin to pass, had 66.71% of the vote on Wednesday afternoon after the Department of Elections counted additional mail ballots. Prop D teetered on a razor-thin margin throughout election night.
Many ballots are still to be counted, however, and final totals will not be available until next week.
Prop D would impose a 3.25% tax on most ride-hailing trips within San Francisco, with a 1.5% rate for shared rides. Electric cars would have the lower rate until the end of 2024. The tax would start in 2020 and last until 2045.
Supervisor Aaron Peskin, who convinced Uber and Lyft to back the measure as preferable to a more-onerous gross receipts tax, said he will try again in 2020 if Prop D does not pass.
"If it doesn't win, we'll likely fold it into the bigger gross receipts tax package in November 2020," he said. That tax is for the general fund, which means it has a much easier chance of passing as it only needs 1 vote more than 50%.
Prop D has a higher threshold because its revenues, estimated to be about $35 million a year, would be dedicated to specific purposes, split between the San Francisco County Transportation Authority and the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency. The two agencies would use the money to improve public transit and bike/pedestrian safety.
"If it passes we would be the first city in California to have Uber and Lyft pay their fair share," Peskin said.
The state legislature passed a bill last year authorizing San Francisco to seek voter approval for an Uber/Lyft tax. Peskin said that bill remains in effect, but limits the potential tax to the amounts specified in Prop D.

Wind power plant costs increased by about 10% during the past year, fossil fuel prices went up by around 50% or more, before heading down again, and the mists started to clear, at least in the United States, on what nuclear plant might cost to build. Amid all the turbulence, there is now little difference between the cost of generating electricity from a new wind plant or a new gas, coal or nuclear plant, presuming nuclear's current cost projections should prove to be accurate.
Wind, however, has an extra advantage. After a year of wildly fluctuating fossil fuel prices, it is a technology offering rock-solid generation costs once the plant has been built, with no fuel price fluctuations to worry about, giving it a clear competitive edge over coal and gas -- even without assigning a risk premium to fossil generation costs (box, page 55). As for nuclear, the lengthy and uncertain build times for new reactors, which carry a high risk of cost overruns, put it at a distinct disadvantage to wind power and its rapid construction timetables and certain costs.
Whether wind is the cheapest option in any particular country depends on the cost of coal and gas in that market, as well as on the influence of government policy on financing costs. Around 70% of wind power generation costs lie in the cost of capital and debt, compared with 15-35% of the cost of generating electricity from fossil fuel, where fuel prices are the major variable. As a result, changes in interest rates on borrowed money have, relatively speaking, a much bigger impact on the end price of wind power than on coal and gas prices. Consequently, a drop in interest rates will bring down wind's generation cost much more than that of the fossil fuel technologies.
The relatively high capital cost of wind also makes it more sensitive than the fossil fuel energy technologies to changes in the price of raw materials. Price trends for steel, copper, aluminium followed a similar path to those for fossil fuel during 2008: they peaked around the middle of the year and are on their way down again. The impact of the high material prices has been greatest for wind power, accounting for most of its 10% hike in generation cost. Whether wind plant costs follow those of raw material prices and come down again remains to be seen.
The energy price seesaw
For coal and gas generation it is fossil fuel prices that have played havoc with their generation costs. In the UK, base load electricity was trading at about EUR 50/MWh in September 2007 and one year later at about EUR 125/MWh. Based on current prices in the futures market, the average for 2009 is likely to be about EUR 100/MWh. Wind power, at its current cost, comes in cheaper than that. If EUR 100/MWh for electricity becomes the norm in Britain -- and elsewhere -- wind, in a head-to-head price competition with fossil fuel, comes out the winner.
Should the cost of gas-fired generation fall back to EUR 50/MWh, then wind has a more difficult job undercutting it. Where the price of fossil fuel might settle is getting ever harder to project. In years past, the market price of gas shadowed that of oil: customers faced with rising oil prices switched to gas, pushing up demand and, with it, the price for gas. With less demand for oil, its price fell and customers switched back to gas. But in the energy market disarray of the past two years that link has been broken, turning gas and coal price predictions into guesswork.
Just over a year ago, the price of oil was around $90 a barrel. It then followed a steady upward trajectory, peaking at just over $140 in early July 2008 before plummeting to below $40 a barrel in December. Although the prices of gas and coal have not followed those of oil, the pattern has been similar, but with the swings much less pronounced. Trends in the United States (table 1) have been similar to those in Europe, although prices in Europe have been generally higher. European coal hit $200/tonne early in July last year, before falling back to about $170/tonne.
Nothing indicates that fossil fuel prices will stabilise in future. On the contrary, when the world comes out of recession, demand for oil will rise once again, with oil producers likely struggling to keep up. Presuming that oil prices go up once again to around $140/barrel and that market forces come back into play and relink oil prices to those of gas and coal, wind would undoubtedly be the cheaper option for electricity generation. With oil at $40 a barrel, however, wind struggles to compete, probably only matching the price of gas-fired generation on windy sites or in jurisdictions where interest rates are low.
Nuclear still misty
As for nuclear power, a little more clarity on its possible costs emerged during the year, with data from a number of pre-construction hearings in the United States providing better estimations of production costs (table 2). The clearest data comes from Florida Power and Light, which presents a range of capital costs from $5780/MW to $8070/MW, including financing, depending on the type of reactor chosen. Progress Energy quotes a low cost for a second reactor at an existing facility, which after financing brings the cost per installed kilowatt to between $4500 and $6800/kW. The developer recommends adding one-third of the equipment cost to arrive at costs after financing. A cost pitch from South Carolina Electric comes in lower, but may not include all the costs of the ancillary plant -- the proposed new units will apparently use at least some of the facilities at an existing power station site. There are other nuclear cost estimates, including one up to $10,000/kW, but with less detail provided.
Comparable data for European nuclear construction is hard to come by. Our analysis assumes that the American costs will travel safely across the Atlantic. Historically, European power plant costs have been higher than those in America, so the assumption seems to be a relatively safe one to make. Based on the capital costs for nuclear in the US, its range of generation costs is close to that of wind power on land, but the balance tilts in favour of wind if a "risk premium" is applied to nuclear to cover the serious chance of construction cost overruns and low availability. The size of that risk means that lenders to nuclear projects expect higher returns on their money than when lending to wind power, pushing up the cost of finance and, consequently, the generating cost of nuclear power. Should governments around the world decide to provide some kind of support for nuclear, that would work to negate the risk premium disadvantage that nuclear labours under, passing it on to the consumer instead.
What price wind?
Establishing the price of electricity generated by wind turbines can be done with far greater certainty than for the fossil fuel or nuclear technology. Wind turbine prices continued to move slowly upwards during 2008, reflecting increases in the price of raw materials and energy. Now that these prices appear to have stabilised, the chance is that wind turbine prices will stabilise too. The pressure to keep on increasing prices has eased now that the world's major turbine suppliers are achieving realistic profit margins, unlike earlier in the decade.
The average price of wind turbines in 2008, derived from reports of a representative collection of land-based projects with a combined capacity 4700 MW, was a fraction over EUR 1100 for each kilowatt supplied. That average excludes prices for offshore machines, which were significantly higher, and machines built in China by Chinese companies, which were significantly lower. The spread around the mean value was plus/minus EUR 200/kW. Quoted prices for turbines can be "machine delivery only" or include spare parts and/or maintenance for the early years, which can account for the spread.
Based on a data base of reported prices in 2008 for 3600 MW of fully installed projects, the average price for a complete wind farm, including installation and grid connection costs, was EUR 1502/kW, about 15% up on our figure last year, with most projects lying within a range of EUR 1300/kW to EUR 1700/kW. No clear geographic trends are discernible in that spread of prices, indicating that the range probably reflects the local ease or difficulty in building the wind farm. Projects built in remote areas would tend to be more expensive than those installed in flat land close to access roads and electricity grid lines.
Offshore wind
Information on the cost of wind power plant installed offshore continues to be sparse. The price of the Siemens turbines for an expansion to the Rødsand wind farm in the Baltic Sea just off the Danish coast at Nysted indicates that offshore machines will be significantly more expensive than onshore machines, at around EUR 1300/kW. The limited data on completed offshore projects suggests that a fully installed wind plant will come in at around EUR 3300/kW. In Britain, power company Centrica, which is involved a series of offshore projects, recently suggested a price nearer EUR 4000/kW, although the slide of the British pound against the euro may be an influencing factor. Other analyses of offshore wind power costs have suggested prices around EUR 2800/kW.
It is not only the cost of the actual technology, its installation and maintenance that decides the end price of the electricity generated. Government policy also plays a major role. Legislation controls the cost of carbon emission abatement. That cost is being expressed worldwide in the market cost of carbon emission allowances or emission reduction units. In one way or another, the "cost of carbon" is now generally included in prices for fossil fuel generation. In Europe, the price is set in the emissions trading market and in the United States, electric utilities factor in the cost of future carbon penalties in their resource planning. In Asia, emission reduction units are the carbon currency of choice. Currently, the cost of carbon abatement is running at about EUR 28/tonne of CO2 emitted, but that is expected to rise.
Power plant financing costs are another big factor influencing generation cost. Interest rates on loans and the return that investors demand on their capital outlay must be taken into account, along with the number of years a power plant will be earning money. For wind power plant, there is fairly broad agreement that their economic lifetime is around 20 years, although some contractual arrangements assume a 22-year life. No such agreement exists, however, for a standard project interest rate. In many parts of Europe, a 6% interest rate is assumed in market studies, but the UK government's energy department uses a 10% interest rate and a similar level is used in the United States, although it can also be lower. "Interest rate," also known as the "test discount rate," takes into account the entire cost of financing both the debt and the equity in a project.
In wind power markets where revenue is considered to be a variable subject to risk, such as in Britain, investors demand fairly high returns on their capital, while in stable wind markets like that of Germany or Spain, lower returns on invested equity may be acceptable.
Wind generation costs
The higher the wind speed, the more energy is produced and the greater the revenues from sales of that energy over the lifetime of any wind farm. Assuming an 8% discount rate, generation costs of onshore wind start at EUR 50/MWh for a project with an installed cost of EUR 1300/kW operating at a site with a high mean wind speed of 9 m/s. They increase to EUR 106/MWh on a site offering just 6 m/s winds. For a project with a relatively high installed cost of EUR 1700/kW, the electricity generation cost comes out at EUR 60/MWh on a really good site with an annual wind speed average of 9.5 m/s and moves up to EUR 99/MWh for a site with 7 m/s winds. The range of installed costs is for the most part governed by the accessibility of the project site and how close it is to existing electricity lines. The more remote the site and the more difficult the terrain, the higher the installed cost. Such sites are only likely to be exploited if the higher cost is compensated for by higher wind speeds.
For an offshore wind farm that costs EUR 3000/kW to complete, the cost of generated electricity starts at EUR 101/MWh for a site with an annual wind speed of 9.75 m/s and escalates to EUR 154/MWh if the mean wind speed at the site over a year is no more than 7.5 m/s. Given the uncertainty about the cost of an offshore wind plant, however, these generation costs may or may not reflect reality today. At the best onshore sites, wind, even at its higher installed cost, is competitive with lowest-cost gas generation at EUR 59/MWh (fig 1) and the cheapest coal, at around EUR 83/MWh. On an average onshore site with a wind speed of 7.5 m/s, the generation cost range for wind is EUR 68-87/MWh, putting it comfortably below the upper end of the range for both coal (EUR 120/MWh) and gas (EUR 90/MWh).
Pollution cost
The fossil fuel estimates include a pollution cost of EUR 30/tonne of carbon dioxide emitted, which is a consensus of expected price going forward. If there is no carbon price, the cost of electricity produced by a new coal plant today falls to below EUR 60/MWh at the lower end of the cost range and gas falls to around EUR 47/MWh at its cheapest. At those levels, the price of electricity from fossil fuels can undercut the cheapest wind power generated by new installations.
Nuclear power at it cheapest comes in at around EUR 46/MWh, if the plant can be built for an installed cost of EUR 2000/kW. At the upper end of nuclear's installed cost range, EUR 3400/kW, plus higher estimates for waste processing and decommissioning, the generation costs rises to EUR 84/MWh, on a par with wind at its most expensive. If the economic life of a nuclear plant is set at 40 years, as is commonly the case, amortising its costs over 40 years could push its generation cost down to EUR 40/MWh. Applying the same 20-year period to nuclear as used for wind and accounting for nuclear's economic risk by using a test discount rate of 12%, the technology's generation costs lie in the EUR 62-111/MWh range. The bottom of that range is just under wind's lowest cost and the top of the range higher than wind plant built today at their most expensive.
Changes in interest rates for debt and equity have a significant effect on wind energy generation costs. Applying a lower 6% project interest rate to a wind farm built for an average cost of EUR 1500/kW on a site with wind speeds of 7.5 m/s moves the generation cost down from EUR 76/MWh to EUR 66/MWh. A 10% interest rate moves the generation cost up to EUR 86/MWh. Lower interest rates make wind more competitive with coal and gas, but make little difference to its relationship with nuclear.
Power systems operate with reserves of generation to cover the risk of a power plant going offline unexpectedly. The addition of wind power to a system requires those reserves to be slightly increased. The more wind power on the system, the greater the small increase. The cost of the additional reserves should arguably be added to the generation cost of wind power to give a complete economic picture, although it is seldom applied so specifically to other generation technologies. In some electricity jurisdictions this does occur, although at today's low levels of wind energy penetration, the sum is a modest one.
If the cost of reserve balancing power is being added to the cost of wind, then logic dictates it should be charged to other generation for its balancing costs too. The addition of large units of nuclear generation, which can suddenly drop offline, can have an appreciable influence on the cost of balancing supply and demand. Britain' system operator, National Grid, suggests that up to another EUR 150 million a year would be added to UK balancing costs if a new 1800 MW nuclear plant came online in Britain. Estimates of the additional balancing costs associated with running the UK power system on 40% wind energy have also been provided by National Grid. These range up to around EUR 7/MWh, but could be about half that level, adding about 6% to wind's "mid-range" generation cost, if new methods of providing balancing services are developed.
More efficient ways of balancing supply and demand are being explored. Management of demand by automatic "demand response" technology would take the pressure off generators to keep the system in balance. The technology makes use of consumer appliances or industrial processes which can react to changes in system frequency -- either automatically or upon instruction -- to reduce demand in stressed periods by cutting out and automatically cutting in again when the frequency demands it. Both the North American Electric Reliability Corporation and Britain's Department of Energy and Climate Change have issued reports that suggest the concept is both feasible and likely to have a significant impact on the efficiency of electricity networks -- with or without wind power.
At the beginning of 2008, generating electricity from wind was close to being no more expensive than generating it from burning coal and gas. By the middle of the year, with oil prices going through the roof, the competitive position of wind had improved significantly. That did not last long. Oil prices dived and wind generation once again was no longer a clear winner as the cheapest option.
Oil and gas prices, however, are unlikely to stay at their current low levels for very long. Market corrections are already taking place, with the mothballing of high-cost oil wells. The International Energy Agency expects oil prices to bounce back to $100/barrel by 2010 and to continue on up after that. With gas prices following oil -- even with a time lag on occasion -- discerning investors are still seeing wind power as the best option ahead.

The troops entered the city at dusk. A crisp sea breeze was blowing and the sky was a gentle pink. They entered from the north, in a long caravan of jeeps and trucks and ambulances that snaked its way past City Hall, past the site of the Boston Tea Party and over the wooden slats of the Fort Point Channel Bridge to South Boston.
The official welcoming party stood on the corner of D Street: about 50 locals, the usual types. The aggrieved mothers with children, the beer-drinking kids (wearing T-shirts with messages that ranged from "South Boston: The Irish Riviera" to "Niggers Suck"). There were also several old-timers, including a guy named Wacko, who usually brought his shillelagh to such events. And there was Ricky, carrying a huge, faded American flag with 48 stars and giving the National Guard the finger as they rumbled past. "I'm carrying this flag because I'm a loyal patriotic American," he explained.
One of Ricky's friends ambled by, offered him a swig of Schlitz and said, "We're gonna get those fuckers this year." School would be opening the next day and South Boston was psyching itself with little pep talks, as if for the big game. "Why don't you tell the reporter why your flag has 48 stars?"
Ricky looked puzzled for a moment. "Why does it?" he asked.
"Because Massachusetts and Louisville, Kentucky, are seceding from the Union because of the niggers," said the friend, proudly.
"Yeah, that's it," Ricky said. "Make sure you put that down about Louisville, Kentucky. They're behind us in this," he told me, then walked out to the middle of the street and stood next to a jeep that was parked there. "Fuck you, GI Joe," he said to the driver.
A police officer approached and informed Ricky that he would have to move back to the sidewalk. "Hey, they're gonna pinch him for carrying the flag! They're gonna pinch him for being patriotic!" the friend yelled. The crowd booed.
The police officer approached again. "Unless you move out of the intersection, I am going to have to place you under arrest."
Ricky moved toward the sidewalk. The crowd sang "God Bless America." Ricky stopped halfway, said, "Shit, I'll take the bust," and walked back to the jeep where he was promptly arrested and led to a paddy wagon. On the way, he handed the flag to his friend.
"Gimme that flag," said a chunky little woman. She grabbed several of her children and had them stand with her. They looked like the Iwo Jima monument out there in the middle of the street. "Go get my husband," she instructed one of the others. "Tell him I'm gonna be arrested and he should bring my cigarettes."
Noticing a reporter nearby, she issued an impromptu statement: "First they give the niggers our schools and then they start arresting people carrying the flag. But as long as one of us is alive, liberty will not die in South Boston," and then she waited for the inevitable.
But the cops had spotted a bunch of kids running toward the National Guard staging area halfway down the block and took out after them. The crowd followed and soon the woman was all alone on Summer Street. It was getting dark — cars whizzed by with their lights on. Eventually, she moved over to the traffic island in the middle of the street where it was safer. She stood under a streetlight, shoulders thrown back, carrying the flag proudly, an inexplicable patriot to the motorists passing by.
The TV news correspondent stood near the Bunker Hill Monument. Over his left shoulder you could see the rows of police and the yellow school buses pulling up to dingy Charlestown High. He was saying something about the crucial battle fought there in 1775. "And now, 200 years later …"
After finishing his piece, he walked two blocks down Monument Street to the Bunker Hill housing project, which was where the day's riot would occur — if, indeed, the crazy project kids saw fit to battle the cops again. He walked into the grocery store on the corner, selected a donut and used the pay phone to call New York. Tommy stood watching him, glaring at him, hands deep in his pockets, shoulders hunched.
The TV news correspondent had already described Tommy as part of a "roving band of youths" who "threw rocks and bottles at police near the Bunker Hill housing project in Charlestown." It was a degree of notoriety Tommy had never expected: from just another kid, to part of a "roving band of youths."
He wore a T-shirt, dungarees and sneakers. He sneered a lot. He was the kind of kid who, in the old movies, only the local priest would love. Three days after the opening of school, four out of the first 12 words he used in any given conversation were "nigger."
It was about 8:00 a.m., and if it weren't for all the cops he probably would have been up the street stoning the buses at the high school. Instead, he fondled the mop handles in the grocery store and evaluated his colleagues' performance thus far: "The best thing that happened this week is when they firebombed Kennedy's house. They should kill fuckin' Teddy. I'd like to take up a collection and hire another Lee Harvey Oswald. Probably take about a million bucks, huh?" He selected a mop handle and raised it like a rifle. "Blam. Blam."
He had longish hair, a scraggly beard, dark eyes. His tough mouth made him seem a lot larger than he actually was. "It's too bad they only moved the niggers into the high school. They should move the niggers into the project. Then we'd have some fun."
"Why do you hate them so much?" I asked.
"Because they smell bad."
"Fuckin' Kennedy. He's a murderer too, aside from being a nigger lover. He killed that girl … I'll bet she was pregnant too. All the Kennedys are fuckin' crazy. Remember when they rolled that jeep down on the Cape and paralyzed that girl? I think it was a couple of summers ago. Anyway, my sister was in the same hospital as the girl — I think her name was Kelly. And I'd go up there to visit my sister and I'd see all the Kennedys hanging around the hospital — they all had shitty old clothes on and dirty hair. Like they never took a bath. A bunch of dirt bums."
His voice softened. "You know, if I had their money I wouldn't dress like that…. But I don't ever want that kind of money. You get that kind of money and you forget where you came from."
"You still in school?"
"Naw, got out two years ago."
"Do you work?"
"I did cleanup work for this construction crew. It wasn't bad, either — about $3.25 an hour. But they laid me off a couple of weeks ago. I just went over to the unemployment." He pulled some crumpled papers from his back pocket. They were various forms. "Do you know when the checks start coming?" he asked.
"Yeah, you wouldn't." He was getting angry again. "I go out looking for work. I go to the phone company. They say they only got jobs for black people. The niggers get ten points on the Civil Service test. Automatically, some nigger is ten points better than me. I don't understand this shit. We're just as poor as they are. Look around, look over at the project. We ain't got shit. Look at the high school — we ain't even got a gym over there … They got a room they call the gym but it's about as big as this store. We gotta go over to the Boys' Club for gym," he said, as if he were still in high school. "I'll bet the niggers are pissed about havin' to come here and seein' what a shithole school we have. Over in Roxbury, they get free breakfast and free lunch and carpets on the floor …"
He stopped abruptly, perhaps realizing that he was talking to a stranger. "I'm going outside and see if I can kill a cop or something."
Out on the street, the mothers were gathering in front of the housing project for their daily prayer march. The camera crews had swarmed down from the high school to record the proceedings — in three days it had become a ritual. The first day, the townies had been friendly. Then, seeing themselves on TV that night, they had turned belligerent, jostling the cameras and screaming, "Why don't you show the truth?" Half the people seemed to think the cameras made them look like animals; the other half were pissed because the reporters were saying that the opening of school had been pretty calm.
In fact, Charlestown really didn't have any idea of how to react to all the attention (as opposed to South Boston, which had proved quite adept at self-advertisement even before the buses came). No, the only times that cameras had made it to Charlestown in recent years were when Gabe Piemonte, a city councilor, tried to build a car wash and the townies protested; and when someone in the neighborhood committed an especially imaginative crime; and, of course, when the guys put on the old uniforms each year and reenacted the Battle of Bunker Hill. Aside from that, the outsiders stayed away from Charlestown. They usually don't even pass through on their way to someplace else.
Tommy leaned against a car with Duffy and Kevin. Now the cameramen were wearing helmets, just in case. They looked nervous and Tommy did what he could to make them more so. He tapped one of them on the shoulder and said, "Watch out, motherfucker." An old man came over and asked Duffy if he wanted to be a marshal for the mothers' march.
"Sure," said Duffy, and the old man handed him a white armband with "TOWN" written in blue magic marker. Duffy proudly pinned it on.
"What are you doing that for?" Tommy asked, perhaps a bit insulted that he hadn't been asked.
"I dunno," said Duffy, who was short and stocky. "I just want to help out some way, I guess."
On the opening day of school, Ernest Coffey went down to the corner of Morton Street and Blue Hill Avenue and got on the bus to South Boston. He was tense and quiet, thinking about the first ride last year — the glass spraying, the screams, the bodies all on top of one another in the aisle. Some of the kids had glass fragments caught in their Afros. A few were bleeding. For a terrifying moment the bus seemed trapped along Day Boulevard.
The only white kid who would talk to him last year was the guy sitting up front in typing class. "I saw you riding the bus on TV last night," the kid said. And Ernest replied, "I saw you too. You were in the antibusing march." It seemed like the start of a promising relationship.
But as the year progressed, things actually got worse. There was the day in the cafeteria when the plates of spaghetti went flying through the air and crashed noisily against the tile walls. There was always something or other happening in the girls' bathroom. And, of course, there was the day the white kid was stabbed.
Ernest had been walking down the hall about the time it happened. One of the honkies passed real close and spit on him and Ernest spit back. And then they were all over him — maybe five of them, although he couldn't really see. He wasn't even sure if it was a book or a fist that crushed his nose. All he remembered was the blood and the pain and the hospital.
If it hadn't been for the hospital, Ernest might have gone back to the school and killed someone. He kept thinking: Someone's gonna pay for this nose. But at the hospital — Children's Hospital, it was — he saw all these little white kids who were sick, some even dying. "I realized that white people were human too," he said later.
Still, Ernest vowed never to go back to South Boston. There was absolutely no point in it. But after Christmas, he got a lucky break: He was selected for a special program outside the high school. Each day he would get on a boat and go out to an island in Boston Harbor to do what they called "environmental studies." There were equal numbers of blacks and whites in the program — all volunteers — and everyone got along okay. Boating seemed far superior to busing. He was against busing and so was his mother. "The white people in South Boston yell and scream at us — as if we wanted to go there. We don't want to go either," he told a reporter later.
"Then why do all the black politicians favor it?"
"They don't have to get on the bus every day."
What was the point of it anyway? It certainly wasn't helping him to become a veterinarian. At the Jeremiah Burke, the all-black high school he'd attended freshman year, more kids had gone to college than from South Boston High.
At the Bayside Mall, the bus stopped to meet the other buses and pick up a police escort. As they pulled out again, Ernest wondered why fate had selected him to be such a persistent missionary to the honkies. After all, this year he was supposed to be going to Roxbury High and he had been looking forward to it. But there was some sort of screwup, some shuffling of districts … and now he was running the gauntlet again. Only this time there were more cops and the white people couldn't get close. He could see their faces contorting, though. He could see them cursing and giving him the finger, but no rocks.
The school itself looked a bit nicer this year. As he passed through the metal detector, he could see that someone had given the place a new coat of paint. The first day passed uneventfully, even though the white kids still didn't seem very friendly.
On the second day, a group of white girls jumped his friend Linda and beat her up. "They recognized her from last year," he said.
On the third day, he stayed home.
On the third day the mothers marched prayerfully up Bunker Hill Street, alternating Our Fathers and Hail Marys. They marched to the church at the top of the hill and said a rosary. When they came to the "pray for us sinners" part of each Hail Mary, some would turn and point at Robert diGrazia, the Boston police commissioner, who was watching them. DiGrazia had opposed granting a permit for the march but was overruled by City Hall. Now he feared a citywide outbreak of prayer.
Duffy was watching the mothers too, with his arms folded across his chest and his eyes squinting in the bright sun. There were several advantages to his standing like that: First, of course, he looked tough. But also, when he stood with his arms folded across his chest, his hand was covered and no one could see that it was a mess: The thumb was fine but the other fingers were of varying lengths. Some had knuckles, others didn't. The hand had been caught in a machine at the sugar factory two years before, just after he left high school. The machine didn't have a safety guard and he was suing the company but the suit didn't seem to be going anywhere. Every so often he would call up his lawyer and ask about it. The lawyer would say, "It takes time."
Meanwhile, the state had taken Duffy off workmen's compensation because they said he was employable. So he would go around looking for jobs but no one seemed to want a kid with a bum hand. When asked what he did for money now, he would say, "I make a little on the sneak."
Later, Duffy hung around the project and watched as some kids set a car on fire. There was a wild rush of flames, a crowd gathered, the firemen came and then the police. "Let's move back," he said. "I don't want to get hit by a bottle."
"They won't throw at the firemen," said a woman standing next to him. "My Joe is a fireman and all the other guys are townies too. The other night when the news said they were throwing at firemen, they really weren't. They were throwing at the cops, the firemen just got in the way."
Duffy watched the kids. "This is diddly-shit stuff. I was over in Southie the other night when they were shooting the darts at the cops and they're organized over there. Charles-town ain't organized. In Southie, they were stringing wires across the street and clotheslining the motorcycle cops. They had the whole thing worked out. We need to get organized like that here. We need to get about 800 guys with football helmets and baseball bats and charge the cops. … Yeah, but if we did that, they'd probably shoot us."
The firemen sprayed foam into the car and there was a huge plume of black smoke. The air smelled of burning rubber. "But even if they shoot us, so what?" Duffy said. "We can't go on livin' like this. I wake up in the morning and there are six cops outside my door. And the helicopters. The helicopters start in about five or six in the morning." He looked up in the sky at the State Police helicopter hovering overhead. He shook his fist at it. "Motherfucker. I wish there was some way I could get up there and pull that thing out of the sky."
On the fourth day of school, Olivia Coffey sat at the kitchen table in her Roxbury home with her son Ernest, who was playing with a pocket calculator. In a little while she would take him downtown to school department headquarters to see if she could get him transferred out of South Boston High.
"It's driver's ed," Ernest was saying. "They don't have driver's ed in South Boston, and even if they did there's no way I could go driving around out on the streets over there."
There was a driver's ed program at Roxbury but they did not have any cars, so the kids sat in a class and learned about driving from a book. They were hoping to get some donations to buy a couple of cars for the kids.
Olivia didn't feel very well that morning. She had a bad cold and there was Ernest's problem and there was Cynthia. Cynthia was her foster daughter — and Cynthia's real grandmother, in North Carolina, wanted her back. They were battling it out in court and it didn't look too good. The judge was worried that if Cynthia stayed in Boston, she would have to go to school in a "troubled area." Which, of course, was true: Cynthia was being bused to the Gavin Junior High in South Boston.
Olivia sent Ernest upstairs to change his clothes for the trip downtown. She shook her head: "You know, before they had the forced busing, I could have sent Ernest to the suburbs in that volunteer busing program. He would have gone to a real good school then but I didn't want him to. I was afraid something would happen and he'd be too far away for me to do anything about it." That had seemed a pretty simple decision at the time but now he was being bused anyway, and to an inferior school. And Cynthia might be sent back to North Carolina because one judge had ordered her to go to school in South Boston and another judge didn't want her going there because it was a "troubled area." She wished that all the judges would get together and decide what was good and what wasn't or just leave her alone.
"I want to obey the law," she said. "But if they don't let Ernest transfer, I may have to give him away."
"Give him away?"
"Yeah. I'll just say he's living with my mother. She lives in an area where he would go to Roxbury High. I'd keep him here but I'd tell them that he was living with her. What else can I do? He just won't go back to South Boston and I don't blame him. You know what I can't understand? I can't understand why they don't just have a school where black and white could mix together without being forced."
"Because no one would volunteer."
"Then no one would volunteer," she said.
On the fourth day of school, Bernie Donovan was out on Bunker Hill Street again, watching the mothers pass by with their Our Fathers and Hail Marys, and watching the police watching the mothers pass by. There was no rational reason for him to be there. He didn't live in Charlestown anymore. It wasn't his battle anymore. He had gotten out, was living in the suburbs.
He was in his late 30s. He wore a gray heavy-duty work-shirt and gray heavy-duty work-pants. He had a disconcerting habit of loosening his false teeth with his tongue and rolling them nervously around his mouth. "This is the end," he said, eyeing the police. "Look at them over there. I never thought I'd see the day when this would happen. Look at them. Fuckin' storm troopers. Look, there's two of them with a TV camera — now what do the cops want to take movies for? They're mercenaries. They get an order to line all the niggers up against the wall and shoot them, and they'd shoot them. Just following orders, like Nazi Germany."
Bernie was an electrician. He made good money. "I'll never forgive them for this," he said. "Forcing me out."
"Why?" I asked. "Most people who have the money want to live in the suburbs."
"You could never understand," he said. "I'm a townie. I lived all my life in Charlestown. You know, we got something special here. There's only one Bunker Hill in the whole country. I'm a member of the Charlestown Militia and we raised $11,000 for the community last year, selling stickers and all. This was a great place. Property values were going up every year, people were fixing their houses, new schools were being built. They built a new school right down the street from us and then the next thing that happens, my seven-year-old daughter gets an order to go to the Hale School in fuckin' Roxbury. So a month ago, I moved to Stoneham." He pronounced it Stone-Ham. Suburbanites pronounce it Stonum.
"They won't sit back and take this, not the townies," Bernie Donovan said. "There's going to be an explosion in this neighborhood. Maybe they'll wait until the cops go but it's gonna blow. You see, there's nothing more dangerous than a caged Irishman … except maybe an Irishman who gets money and becomes a liberal. It's a bad trait our people have: They get some money and they turn on their own. You never see the spooks do that. Last night the cops beat up a kid in the project real bad, and do you know what? The cop who did it was a townie who moved to the suburbs. One of our own."
"But you moved."
"Don't remind me." he said, ashamed. He ran his hand through his wavy black hair. The man was actually ashamed of what most people would consider success. He had work to do, a family to support, a new house out in the suburbs. But each day he came back to watch his neighborhood destroy itself. He didn't consider himself a survivor; he was a deserter. Moving to Stoneham had been the functional equivalent of running away to Canada.
The mothers were marching back up Bunker Hill Street now, toward the project. Duffy passed by with the mothers, having been selected as a marshal for the third straight day. Bernie couldn't take his eyes off the row of cops across the street, with helmets and riot batons. "They'd kill their own mothers," he said. "If they touch my brother or sister, I'll get a machine gun. I'll get up on the roof of the project with a machine gun and mow the motherfuckers down."
The march was ending. The street was cleared. The sun reflected off the shattered glass in the street. There had been fewer cameras around than the day before, the national press had pulled out of town and Charlestown was being forgotten again. That evening on the news, Walter Cronkite would mention in passing that it had been another peaceful day in Boston.

Once upon a time, in a land not so very far away, the people came to live in a place where there was lots of land for farming or ranching, and nice towns for those kinds of people who would rather live and work in town, and everyone was happy and prospered.
And they called this land "Colorado."
And the people in this new land were conservative, believing in strong, individual freedoms and rights, and traditional values, especially in religion and politics. They believed that those in need should be able to work their way out of the problems themselves, using the freedoms they believed in. And they called themselves Republicans.
Well, the Republicans loved this area, because nearly everyone in the land believed like they did, and when they elected leaders they found people who would support everything they believed in.
But then, moving into this new land there came a new kind of people who were "liberals," and while they also believed in freedom and equality, they differed from the conservatives because they believed the government should help those in need, support them with the necessities of life, so that more people would be equal to each other. And they called themselves Democrats.
Well, in this land, it became known that the Republicans outnumbered the Democrats, and they controlled the government for many years. However, there were people who believed in some Republican ideas and some Democrat ideas, but weren't committed to either side, and so they called themselves Independents.
And Independents, just like their name, wouldn't join either party, but voted on their own, and voted more for the best candidate than for the political party.
And so it went for many, many years, in this land called Colorado, that the Republicans outnumbered the Democrats, and they presented better candidates from the Independents' view, and the Republicans ruled.
But then, things began to change. The Democrats became stronger, and found better candidates, and did things that the Independents liked, and soon, the Democrats began to rule the land called Colorado.
Well, this just couldn't happen, according to the crazier Republicans, so they got together and formed their own tiny party that was made up of those more right-wing Republicans and they called themselves the Tea Party, after the Boston Tea Party, whom they believed were also right-wing Republicans. And the Tea Party promised to take over the government and bring back the very strong Republican beliefs.
But in Colorado, it didn't work very well, as the Tea Partiers frightened the Independents with their strong words and promises of what they would do once they were in office, and even many of the Republicans thought the Tea Partiers were too far right, so they were concerned, and so the land called Colorado elected a Democratic governor and state legislature, and the Democrats began doing things the Tea Partiers hated. Like making gun laws and giving even more government support to people who were struggling, and passing laws that made it legal for a man to love a man or a woman to love a woman.
And up in one of the areas of Colorado, the Tea Party Republicans became very angry with the Democrats running everything, so they decided that the answer would be to break away from the Democrats and start their own state, where the Tea Partiers could rule again and pass laws that they believed in.
And while the idea was absurd to most, those Tea Party leaders continued to push their ideas about the new state, and Tea Partiers in other areas of Colorado joined them, because they, too, wanted a land where they could live in peace without those insane Democrats and wishy-washy Independents and the ones they called RINOs, or "Republicans in Name Only."
And the new state would be called "North Colorado" and the Tea Party would be in charge and elect a Tea Party Republican governor, and a Tea Party Republican State Legislature, and everyone would be happier, and they could make those Democrats and Independents and RINOs move back to the original Colorado and leave only Tea Partiers behind in North Colorado.
And what they didn't know is that the rest of Colorado was happier now, because all of the Tea Party Members were in one place and it was easier to keep track of them, and their wacky ideas would only affect them, and not any of the reasonable people in Colorado.
And the Tea Partiers lived happily ever after, in their new state, fighting among themselves.

When served with a subpoena, order, or warrant, healthcare providers are often caught between a rock and a hard place: How to adhere to HIPAA rules while also assisting law enforcement and the judicial process? Police, prosecutors, and defense attorneys often don't understand what HIPAA is—or the penalties providers can face for running afoul of it. The result? During a law-enforcement event, you may face threats, or simply bad information, when you insist on complying with information confidentiality laws.
Learn to make that struggle less contentious and confusing. Join Kim Stanger, a medical regulations expert, as he guides you through the complicated rules of HIPAA and how to react when the law comes knocking. Stanger will review HIPAA rules—and exceptions to those rules—summarize common state laws that require or allow disclosures; and provide practical guidance on how to respond to orders, subpoenas, and other law enforcement requests.
