Each year the Unexpected, a public art festival in Fort Smith slowly expands to reach new audiences. The murals- vibrant, graphic, comedic and arresting- creep from one building to the next along Garrison Avenue downtown.
After four years of international artists descending on this, as some say, 'sleepy' town the art is starting to have a lasting impact not only on the face of the city, but in the daily lives of its residents.

Why EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) Therapy?
This wonderful therapy is recognised as having the highest level of research evidence for the treatment of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) by the Australian Psychological Society (EBPI Review 2010).
Over 300 studies have been published showing EMDR to be effective for treating depression, anxiety, phobias, addictions, body dysmorphia and other mental health issues. EMDR has been used effectively with adults, but also with children and adolescents.
The evidence supports EMDR Therapy. It is one of the most researched psycho-therapeutic approaches for PTSD. It can be used for a variety of clinical problems which may have resulted from disturbing life events. Following treatment, clients no longer relive the trauma or feel disturbed when they think about it.
How does it work?
The brain has mechanisms to heal itself naturally in the same way the body does, eg, a cut on the skin. Much of the ''brain healing'' occurs during sleep, in particular during Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep. EMDR utilizes this natural process because sometimes the brain is 'blocked' from processing the traumatic or stressful experience. The memory continues 'frozen in time' and so continues to be disturbing when we think about it or a current event triggers that memory. Such memories have a lasting effect and interfere with the way we see the world and relate to other people, often creating avoidance of places or people that trigger the memories.
Using eye movements, tappers in each hand, or sounds moving from ear to ear (we call this Bilateral Stimulation), the therapist works through a well established protocol so that afterwards the memory is no longer disturbing. Flashbacks and nightmares cease. The client still recalls what happened, but it is not upsetting.
Some examples:
Liz had a traffic accident and even a month later was still too frightened to drive the car. After only 2 sessions of processing, she was back to driving normally.
Bill, as a teen, had killed his own old dog when he was helping his Dad on a farm during a drought shoot sheep. Twenty years later that sad event was still affecting him. Tears flowed as processing happened but now the memory is not upsetting.
Sam was bullied at school and even years later he still had low self-esteem and acted mostly passively, although sometimes he erupted in angry violence. After processing, Sam became much more confident and assertive.
Carol felt distressed after giving birth to a son. She experienced anger and often cried for long times. She was finding it difficult to relate to her husband. She was aware of the problems but couldn't help herself - her emotions were overwhelming. (Carol was diagnosed with post-partum depression.) After processing (in a sensory, cognitive, emotional and somatic way), Carol began to feel happy about having her son and the relationship with her husband improved.
EMDR Therapy is also effective for Substance Abuse
The Emotional Healing that is facilitated may help to alleviate the Addiction Urges to which we often resort to medicate psychological pain.
Read more from a DrugRehab centre.
How long does it take?
One or more sessions are required for the therapist to understand the nature of the problem and to decide whether EMDR Therapy is appropriate. A session usually lasts from 60 to 90 minutes. The type of problem, life circumstances, and the number of previous expereinces will determine how many sessions are necessary.
treatment reduces the symptoms
conducted in session (no homework)
works quickly (2-7 sessions) so the real cost is less than years of treatment or none at all.
benefits are maintained over time

The 26th annual U.S. Capitol Bible Reading Marathon began at 6 p.m. Sunday.
For 90 continuous hours beginning with the reading of Genesis 1:1, every word of the Bible was read aloud and without commentary, culminating at noon on Thursday, May 7, with the reading of the final chapters of the book of Revelation.
During these five days, hundreds of Bible believers traveled to the West Front of the U.S. Capitol—the very spot where the president takes the oath of office—to read a portion of the Bible, to listen and to pray.
The U.S. Capitol Bible Reading Marathon began in 1990, the year proclaimed by a Joint Congressional Resolution and Presidential Proclamation by President George H.W. Bush as the International Year of Bible Reading. The event serves to honor the Bible, celebrate religious freedom and unite the diverse branches of Christianity around the Bible.
Readers who participate come from many backgrounds and locations all across America. Members of Congress and world-renowned Christian leaders and pastors stand alongside street people, families, military personnel, school children, nurses, teachers and otherwise ordinary believers to raise up the Word of God.
Each year the Bible is read at the Capitol by visitors from around the world in their native tongues. Bibles will be on hand in 100 languages. Every culture, age, denomination, race and political party is represented. Many branches of faith are represented as well, including Protestant, Catholic, Orthodox, Messianic and Jewish.
The U.S. Capitol Bible Reading Marathon is a part of a weeklong celebration of prayer and the Word, not only in the Nation's Capital, but across the nation. Bible reading marathons will be taking place in many state capitals and county seats in conjunction with the National Day of Prayer (Thursday, May 7).

HEADLINE: Council drops antiwar resolution; Issue called 'international' by mayor
BYLINE: Nick Kotsopoulos; TELEGRAM & GAZETTE STAFF
– District 1 City Councilor Stephen T. Patton last night withdrew an antiwar resolution he had brought before the council, thus avoiding a likely parliamentary confrontation with his colleagues.
. . .
In an interview, Mr. Patton said Mayor Timothy P. Murray told him before the meeting he was going to rule the resolution out of order, and that he had at least nine votes to sustain his ruling.
. . .
Mr. Murray acknowledged he advised Mr. Patton he was going to rule his resolution out of order. The mayor said the City Council should focus its energies on local issues and not spend time on national or international ones.
"We have a big enough agenda every week as it is, and it is often a challenge to get through that," Mr. Murray said. "We are not the United Nations or the Congress. We are not here to discuss the Kyoto treaty, the situation in Northern Ireland or global trade.
"Our focus is local issues," the mayor added. "We are elected to talk about things like potholes, fixing our sidewalks and funding our
schools. Outside this chamber, we all have our own opinions, and that's fine. But when we're here, we should be discussing those issues that are related to our city."
. . .
After the council dealt with Mr. Patton's resolution, the mayor ruled out of order a subsequent item brought forward by the Worcester County Chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts.
The group submitted a petition, signed by more than 250 city residents, asking the council to urge the Massachusetts Congressional delegation to repeal sections of the USA Patriot Act. The group contends those sections threaten the civil liberties and civil right protections.
The council then amended its rules so that it no longer can take up any petition, resolution or communication that deals with personalities or with matters not within the general supervision of or related to the city government.
Leave a reply
"We are not the United Nations or the Congress. We are not here to discuss the Kyoto treaty, the situation in Northern Ireland or global trade."
FYI, here is my post on exactly this subject from May:
As far as other towns passing it – if all your friends jumped off a bridge, would you jump off too?
You know, if all my friends jumped off a bridge, I'd peek over the edge to see what was there, rather than stubbornly sticking to my assumption that I'm right and they're wrong. Maybe jumping off the bridge seemed like a bad idea, and maybe that was sensible, but perhaps I'd see them all on a big puffy mattress only 4 feet below that I didn't realize was there. Maybe if I asked them why, they'd point out the tiger behind me who they're hiding from.
People who think cities and towns shouldn't pass anti-Patriot Act resolutions because, they say, it's a federal issue, have a superficial understanding of the issue that is blinding them to the reasons behind this movement. The question is whether they're willfully, stubbornly blind, unwilling to look further; or just haven't heard the arguments yet and jumped to a plausible but incorrect conclusion they're willing to reconsider.
(People can have other reasons for opposing these resolutions – some people even support the Patriot Act in its current form. I'm not calling everyone who opposes these resolutions "blind" here, just the ones who do it on the grounds that cities shouldn't meddle in this federal issue.)
I just don't get it.
For example, if you succeed in your efforts to get John Bonifaz elected as Secretary of State, and you work for him, your position would be that it would be appropriate for him, as a state official, to involve himself in both federal and municipal matters?
Please define the appropriate limitations, if any, for a city council to pass resolutions on federal policy.
I oppose the feds getting involved in defining marriage at the state level. I suppose you endorse their efforts here?
I oppose the feds getting involved in defining marriage at the state level. I suppose you endorse their efforts here?
Your confusing two different ways of "getting involved": legislating and opining. One can be opposed to the federal government legislating marriage for states and at the same time be in favor of the federal government expressing it's opinion on marriage in the states. A resolution is a statement of opinion, not enforceable legislation.
I am sick and tired of the Bush bashers who think the war on terrorism is a thing of the past and whatever the administration does to protect us has to be put in a political or progressive girlyman context.
If Bill Clinton was in the White House I am sure there would be total silence on the issue. What do you think? Should we hug a Muslim today or how about giving that pig Al-Zarqawi another autopsy because surely the marines abused him . Hundreds of suicides every day in US Prisons…But we focus on a couple of terrorists who commit suicide…There is no doubt that those same pigs would of prefered to blow themselves up with YOUR CHILDREN close by……and as a result the liberals are in a state of mourning.
This country has been vigilant in its eavesdropping and other intelligence gathering information , and one of its rewards is the absence of another attack since 9/11.
Those of you who do not care for the safety of OUR FAMILIES, OUR CHILDREN, may try to strip our national leadership of one of its primary weapons of defense against those who wish to destroy your way of life, but common sense dictates that we cannot allow this to happen. The Patriot Act is a necessary weapon in our arsenal against the type of enemy we have never fought before. Until such time as we destroy Al-Qaeda in its entirety we cannot allow even one sentence in the Patriot Act to be amended .
It doesn't work that way! Al-Qaeda is not a country! Al-Qaeda is one of many terrorist organizations that exist all over the world. There will not be any one day where Al-Qaeda surrenders.
If you recall, we attacked Iraq. NO LINK to AQ. Of course, it's Iraq chapter is now alive and well, due to our invasion.
The point is, this conflict is perpetual, as the loss of our civil liberties will be. We cannot just throw them away.
Remember, those liberties are what we are actually supposed to be fighting for. The idea is that we fight the people who attacked us who want to take away our liberties. Taking the liberties away ourselves seems bizarre to me.
Unsubstantiated gossip is not helpful.
Unless you are working for the campaigns in question, and are authorized to speak on their behalf in regards to what either did or did not happen at the convention.
In which case it would be helpful if you indicate that authorization when making your comments.
I was not referring to Scott in Belmont.
no more "rumours" from me –
I'll get the photos of the meeting for you to see.
So in Silbert's meetings she chaired she allowed the vote to proceed?
Oh – that's right – she's not held an elected office.
My bad.
From reliable sources – The night before the convention – Silbert's campaign manager went to Murray's people asking for delegates. They were THAT afraid of not even making the 15%. And now her supporters are saying to Tim "AHA! We gottcha Tim" thinking something like this is going to make her the front runner?
IMHO Silbert was helped by two things at the convention – 1, she looked GREAT 2, Goldberg's video sucked.
I Know Tim Murray personaly. He's an extremely liberal guy. He supported gay marriage WAY WAY WAY before he ever had an inkling that he'd run for LG. Just look at the stance the city clerk took in 2004 against Romney and his SSM ruling regarding out of staters. Tim was instrumental behind the scenes in helping the city clerk stake out the City's very liberal interpretation of passing out licences to anyone who wanted one.
Where was Andrea? What was she saying THEN about gay marriage? There's your "aha!"
Silbert's people are now grasping at straws to try to find something to separate her from the actual front runner. They would be better off concentrating on getting rid of Goldberg than to attack Tim this early.
I'm a HUGE Deval fan and support him on several levels (cult member according to some people) and I am telling you Tim Murray is the balance that ticket needs – and at the same time he brings Central Mass into the fold for the Dems.
Lastly…..I met SS&L tonight – and she is…..S S & L 🙂
How? Where? Us Murray supporters need to unite so we can make sure Tim kicks ass in September!
Fighting the feminization of poverty in third world countries and through business growth? PS: How is life in Worcester? How's the heroin problem? Oh… life in Worcester is bad and heroin is everywhere? I wonder who the local leaders are…
Anyway, I can attest that Silbert did not approach Murray for delegate support for a fact due to direct souces paid on BOTH campaigns. Fascinating how rumors get started eh?
I also want to point out that there is more to being liberal than supporting gay marriage. Tim is liberal and progressive, just not AS progressive as the other two candidates. He's in lockstep with Kerry Healey on MCAS and we know the patriot act issue — which is more fascinating because he actually didn't even encourage the debate, he stifled conversation in Worcester about the patriot act before it could even take place. Great for democracy.
The other issue I have with this post is the "We need Worcester County" issue. Do you know people who vote a ticket based on the lt. gov? I don't. Never have met anyone like that. Maybe people in Worcester County are different from voters EVERYWHERE else in the country. Let's be realistic — the voters will vote for a ticket with ideas and experience. Murray and Silbert have both, and I bet they would get about the same percentages in Worcester as part of the ticket.
Murray has great talking points: local option taxes, brownfield redevelopmet etc. He's not saying "look what I've done for the fab city of Worcester." Andrea has Jobs and can point to 14,000 she's created in MA. They are both great candidates… I suggest that Since1792 do a little more homework and stop spreading "rumors" about Andrea.
Also, although I think SSL is blindly following Murray despite the issues, she is indeed S, S and L. So you're right about that.
I doubt you have any such information from the Murray campaign. I will not allow you to speak for Murray.
Scott Ferson
…because I know for a fact that Silbert's campaign manager–who has posted regularly on BMG–was not at the convention. She had to attend her brother's wedding…or something like that.
and it did happen.
Municipal and state governments are the voice of us. Isn't that why the state government passes all those resolutions, to show the federal government what we think? So, by extension, local governments can show the state what we think. I don't want someone like Murray who actually censures that process to be the LG.
Danny Moraff
we are the voice for us. that's why WE get to vote in federal elections. We are also the voice in municipal elections, and in state elections. I remember a time when local boards voted on flag burning and the pledge of allegiance. If I have to ask every municipal candidate where he or she stands on flag burning, etc. I fear we'll lose the important municipal issues. Same for state and federal candidates. The Patriot Act is important, and our opinion on that is best directed to where it has standing to be heard. Same with zoning regulations. I don't care what John Kerry's position might be on a zoning change in Belmont, and would resent his airing his opinion as a federal representative.
You and GGW are presenting a false alternative: either a city council voices its opinion on nothing of national relevance or on everything. You omit the option that it could express its opinion on some topics — select issues of particularly pressing importance. Whether or not an issue rises to that level of importance is for the council to determine. If the council does that too often, or does it too seldom, they can be held accountable at the ballot box by their consituents.
Do you really take the dogmatic position that they should never express their opinion on national issues? I doubt it. It's terrible that Tim Murray can't see that the War in Iraq and the Patriot Act exceed that threshold of importance.
I am actually a strict constructionist on this issue, as your issue of importance might not be mine, and mine might not be yours. So, yes that's exactly what I am saying. But that is my opinion, having worked in both municipal and federal government.
I'll add one more thing Greg. I think a lot of effort is misdirected. If I have a "support the troops" sticker on my car, it has minimal, if any, real impact on the troops. True support would require much more, directed, effort. Same for "Free Tibet". Same for these type of resolutions.
Your fury at such non support for this mis-directed effort would be better directed at Russ Feingold, for instance. Explain his vote in favor of the nomination of John Roberts to the bench? He is more likely to affect the Patriot Act than the city council in Worcester. He is more likely to overturn a woman's right to choose.
You are a "strict constructionist," but what are you constructing? the General Laws? Otherwise, there is no bright line that you can draw that some other strict constructionist can't disagree with.
Every year my town runs several parades, a town day, and similar events. This year Town Meeting appropriated funds for Arlington's 200th anniversary celebration (of our separation from Cambridge).
These are all traditional town activities, but some people say they ought to be 100% private. They are permitted, but not required, by the General Laws. On what basis would you allow or prohibit them?
Sometimes Town Meeting honors or recognizes someone with a special resolution. Does't bother me, may not bother you, but what "construction" says this is kosher, if you are vetting resolutions for municipal correctness?
If you fall back on the argument of "traditional and customary," you have left the realm of strict construction. And I think you must then include resolutions like the one that Murray ruled out in 2003, which have a long (and honorable) tradition in New England since before the Revolution.
there is nothing in your list that violates my strict constructionist view, which of course can be based on the general laws, on the state and federal constitution, which lays out what is within the jurisdiction of each level of government. A resolution or parade honoring a citizen is different from taking a position on a national flag burning amendment.
As I believe Cos pointed out, local resolutions have a long history in this land–back to the town meetings in the 17th and 18th century. First the resolutions were addressing policies of the Crown, then national issues.
From resolutions advocating the end of Slavery to the end of the Vietnam War, local forms of government have been exercising their right to "instruct" the national government on policies outside the realm of local government.
So a strict constructionist view would support the historic, deep-rooted rights of local governments to pass resolutions calling for changes in national issues.
To limit the role of local government to local governance is a direct affront to our deep historical tradition. It would limit the voice of the peopleâa voice that has been used to pressure a central government to accede to the moral will of the people.
Clearly the strict constructionist view is to uphold the historical precedence that goes back to colonial days and encourages local government resolutions.
To limit local goverment's voice is the radical concept that you are masking under with your constructionist spin.
Frank, part of the problem is exactly what you are pointing out. It should be of the people, for the people by the people. As fas as I can recall this was a small goup of people in Worcester, the majority of us are more interested in the real issues, not a token resolution. As another poster correctly pointed out, if the resolution was opposing the way it dealt with municipal employees of the city of Worcester it should have been entertained. IT DIDN'T. Tim Murray correctly, upheld his oath of office.
So if it was 1972, or 1852…your saying the only proper resolution would be how the municipal employees of the city or town was impacted by Vietnam or slavery? But any other grounds would be wrong? That flies in the face of our long historical tradition and I don't care what another poster says.
Hey, if the City Council wants to vote down the resolution, they can. But it is perfectly within the framework of our system of government (it is a federalist system after all) for local goverments to pass resolutions that provide national leaders with a "sense of the people" on national issues.
To deny that statement is to deny the truth about a critical and essential omponent of our history and system of goverment.
what im saying is if the people of Worcester dont give a shit about this resolution whay should you, Cos or Greg or anyone else. If the people of Worcester want this resolution let them do it the old fashioned way, right Frank. Hey I heard Mitt would like to pass a resolution supporting this war and the patriot……. act are you in Frank, can he call you Greg???????
Im not up on the city charter or the rules but Im willing to bet it was out of order, Im willing to bet keeping my mouth shut on this that this was not introduce properly, im also willing to bet it would have to go to a committee, probably the legislative committee firts. Im also reasonably sure if the petioner was sincere about this resolution it would have made some headway. It is such nonsense…………
a lot of time on non sense.
And if Romney wanted to submit a resolution before the Belmont selectmen in favor of the Iraq war–let him. If I were on the board, I'd let him and I'd vote against it.
That concept is called Democracy.
you clearly have not been to a meeting of the belmont board of selectmen. the addition of such resolutions might cause a violation of the curfew laws. This is my point. Increasingly our democracy has evolved from a participatory town governance to a representative one (largely). The more we grow, the more we need to have our government entities stick to their respective knitting, or nothing will be done. My strict construction, which was meant to illustrate more than anything, is of the rules, general laws, town and city charters, division of powers, as they exist in our democracy at present. If we as a democracy vote to go to popular ballot on all questions, then I'm for sticking to that. But I also think such resolutions are feel good actions for those proposing, rather than action that is likely to have an impact. One hundred calls to a congressperson in favor of the President's position in Iraq is worth quite more than a resolution in city council, in my opinion.
sad to admit,,,,,,,, and, of course you would Frank thanks for the civic lesson.
All of the examples, including parades, memorializations, and views of Iraq or flag-burning amendments–these are equally permitted, but not required, by all of the legal authoriries you cite.
The Consitution goes so far as to state,
Amendment IX
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
Amendment X
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.
So I do not understand how a "strict constructionist" uses these documents to determine that local governments may not consider nonbinding resolutions about things before Congress, if that is the rule you are articulating.
It seems to me a constructionist would be forced to conclude the opposite.
I guess I was also assuming to construct some common sense. Look, this is my opinion, and if you think local government should spend time on federal issues, that's fine. I find nothing in anything you've cited that indicates that that's the way our government was set up to deal with issues. There is clearly a "trickle down" affect where federal legislation affects citizens, but "trickle up" I think is more effective if it takes a different path, as I think all the constructs listed above are not designed for maximum local input. My lord, they don't even allow popular election of the president.
you would see that Murray had 9 additional city council votes. Those 9 city councilors also represented the City of Worcester. I think that those city councilors & Mayor murray were serving as a voice for the residents they were elected to represent. They chose not to have the vote.
For all we know the vote would have been knocked down, and I'm sure a no vote looks better for your cause than a negative.
This reminds me when I used to play basketball in middle school. There used to be this tall kid who beat everybody on the court including myself. After I lost I would find the worse player their, and give him the same kind of demoriling loss I just received. It made me feel better in the short term but I still couldn't beat the tall kid the next day. This is the same case but it applies to tired old libs trying to win support in all the wrong ways. We need to get to the grass roots levels and continue to have rallies that strengthen the cause of our fight. We shouldn't be diverting attention from cities and towns to national issues upon which they have no real affect. They should do the job the people elected them to. It is extremely refreshing to have an lg candidate that we can look at every week to see where he stands on a diverse set of issues. I think people are in more of an agreemant with murray on this issue which basically asks where are your priotities at? And Tim Murray responds to this with actions that say my priorities are with the title of the job at hand which I CAN control. I find this refreshing at a time when our current governor is busy flying around the world.
It seems tome that Murray is willing to focus on the issues that Worcester does have control over (and if Lieutenant Governor, the issues the state government has control over), and leaves the matter of federal issues to the federaly elected officials. If you don't like it call your senator or representative, thats why they were elected!!!
Its all well and good that these municipalities have decided to take the time out of their local governing and delve into federal issues by passing such anti-patriot act resolutions. But criticizing Murray for getting his job done in Worcester, and not trying to take over the job of a federaly elected official is a little extreme. Personally I am more concerned with finding a suitable paying job so i can buy food, andpay the rent, and pay my taxes; than I am about what my local government is doing about the federal government watching me! And lets just face it, not too many people in this country care about government, close to a majority it would seem, and before you go looking up your statistics to confront that let me ask one thing: What percentage of people vote in a non presidential election? or for that matter, look at the numbers for voters in a presidential election.
But all statistics aside, some of the comments and name calling towards Murray seem a little off base. Especially since he was willing to focusthe time, efforts, and tax payers money on the issues that he and the rest of the council, were elected to solve, Worcester's problems, not the Nations.
He understands the job he was elected to and doesn't use the people's resources for his own non-municipal agenda.
If you want to make a statement of opinion, then hire Suffolk or SHNS to carry out a poll. Do NOT waste the time and resources of municipal governemnt on Federal issues.
The Supreme Court – pre-Bush – agrees with me. When Rep. Rushing got a bill passsed forbiding the state from doing business with any company doing businiess with Myanmar, it was struck down by the US Supreme Court, on the grounds that the states may not conduct individual foreign policy. Rep. Rushing argued this himself, lost, and then promptly filed another similar bill – which will cost the State about $6,000 to print, track, hold hearings, etc.
"Outside this chamber, we all have our own opinions, and that's fine. But when we're here, we should be discussing those issues that are related to our city." Mayor Murray has a good handle on what is of importance to the City of Worcester, not Kos. BTW – 54 municipalities out of 351? It would seem that the electorate at large is not in favor of this either, and you may have to consider at what point it becomes a losing game.
You're throwing around some pretty off-target darts here. I even brought up polls, myself. You can show many things with polls, but what you can't show is real organization, motivation, the results of well thought out debate, the principles and courage of elected officialts… all sorts of things that you can by organizing the way we've done. It's a lot more meaningful than a poll, because it shows not just opinion, but a movement, with strength and dedication. Again, I covered all this in my comment, and you sound like you just ignored it all.
- "54 municipalities out of 351? It would seem that the electorate at large is not in favor of this either"
I'll leave it as a thought problem for you to determine how ridiculous that is. You can also add to your data the results of the ballot question I initiated in 2004. Hint: Dividing the number of people who voted for it by the total number of Massachusetts voters in 2004 is not meaningful, as should be obvious when you look.
Yes, this is a bit condescending. I think it's well deserved. Think before you propound. Read something before you respond to it.
out of how many nationwide?
When colonial town meetings refused to stop voting on things not germain to local govenment, he had parliament shut them down.
It was one of the so-called intollerable acts over which Massachusetts men fought and died in the revolutionary war.
Local governments have not shut up since, from abolition to Vietnam to impeachment to Seabrook.
I want to argue strongly that this is a good thing, within reason, part of the American political culture.
But even if you do not agree, please respect the historical fact that local governments have been a voice of the people since the Revolution right up to the present day. It would be a radical change to silence them.
Quite beside this, the so-called Patriot Act included provision that could require municipal employees to cooperate with the Federal security apparatus in a number of ways, some probably not constitutional.
So the resolution that Murray ruled out of order would have been especially in order if it addressed this issue. I know that the resolution that my town meeting in Arlington passed (by a 2/3 majority) did so.
I like Murray (though I voted for Silbert, it was a near thing) and still do, but this is disappointing.
his decision makes sense. Local government should be concentrating on issues that directly effect the people of that locality.
Seems like a rational decision to me, that was backed by the rest of the council.
I agree with the premise that "local government should be concentrating on issues that directly effect the people of that locality". And because the war and the Patriot Act affect all of us, they therefore affect the people of that locality. How much money was spent on Iraq that could have been spent on cities and towns like Worcester? How many soldiers from cities like Worcester have died? How many people in Worcester have had their civil liberties violated through the Patriot Act? I consider Murray's failure to understand that as a huge negative.
City councils pass resolutions all the time, many for fairly meaningless things, like celebrating so-and-so's birthday for example. Now here was an opportunity for the city to express its opinion on a contemporaneous issue of national importance, and he deemed it "out of order". No one was asking for a long, protracted debate — just a statement of opinion, as countless other cities and towns have done.
One in which I am in complete agreement with you, however it is partisan and may be in line with one's personal beliefs but has no business in non partisan local government.
Which argument are you calling 'partisan' and what is 'partisan' about it?
The argument being put forth here is that only a handful of Massachusetts municipal governments have "partisan" elections. That is they actually have a "Republican" and a "Democratic" runoff primary then a general election where the party nominees face each other.
Since Worcester (I assume ) is a non-partisan election process for council, then the argument is that "non-partisan government should remain non-partisan". That is no where in the process are you forced to declare party affiliation.
It is an interesting argument… Discussion?
This is also a reply to Renaissance Man's comment . . .
Expressing opposition to the war or the Patriot Act does are statements of values and perhaps ideology, but not an endorsement of any party. Call it 'ideological' if you want, but certainly not 'partisan'. Is the argument really that values and ideology should not factor into decisions made by municipal government? First of all, that's simply impossible. Local office holders don't just administer decisions made by others. They make decisions themselves, and the decisions they make will obviously reflect their values and priorities.
When Tim Murray voted to invest money towards brownfield cleanup, that vote was a reflection of his values. Should he not have invested that money for fear of being 'partisan'? Absurd.
No mayor, or state official for that matter can end the War in Iraq. That is a federal, foreign relations issue.
And for the record I am opposed to the Patriot Act & the War in Iraq.
Should I ask you to stop speaking out against the war because you don't have the power to end it yourself? Asking whether the Worcester city council should speak up is like asking what's the point for anyone to speak out against the war at all. Why write op-eds? Why try to convince your neighbors? After all, they can't end it themselves, right?
Of course no individual outside the federal government can vote to end the war. But the more individuals, organizations, and jurisdictions like the City of Worcester speak out against the war, the stronger the movement and political pressure to end it.
It sounds to me that your participation in the Murray campaign has caused you to ignore what's best for MA.
What's next? Floods in Massachusetts: Murray not to seek federal aid saying flooding is "between mother nature and Massachusetts."
Surely, SSL, you can't continue to defend the Mayor as equally progressive to Andrea and Deb. Well, I'm sure you will still say he is as progressive, but at least we are realizing that saying something does not make it so.
As I've said before, SSL get's an A+ for her work on the Murray campaign (Leading students for Murray?) but a C-/D+ on promoting truth and reality when it comes to discussion of the candidates.
Is your assertion " the argument really that values and ideology should not factor into decisions made by municipal government?" the same thing as passing a resolution?
Secondly I must have missed the fact that cleaning up toxic sites was partisan. I know of many republican and inds that support this so called war but I cannot for the life of me think of one that doesn't support brownfield rehabilitation.
I don't understand your first paragraph.
As for your second paragraph . . . Murray supporters tout his brownfield cleanup quite a bit, so I figured it it wasn't something that not any Mayor of Worcester would have gotten done. Sure, many mods and inds would probably be in favor of brownfield cleanup, but they wouldn't necessarily prioritize funds in that way. Similarly, I don't think President Bush actually wants global warming to happen. I just think it's not a big priority for him. Values not only affect what you support but also how you prioritize that support.
But if you don't like the brownfield cleanup example, I guarantee you there were a number of decisions to come before the Worcester city council where opinions weren't unanimous. Pick any one of those you want. The point is that the values of the officials on the council factored into their decision. They of course factor into every decision the council makes.
understand the first paragraph. I didnt bring up the brownfields argument you did.
I've organized a few of these drives to get cities & towns to pass resolutions, helped some others, and watched the whole movement for the past few years. Every time, some people ask the same question: Isn't this a federal issue? What role to cities have?
I first heard about this movement in January 2003 when a couple of friends in Somerville (where I was living) held a potluck, out of which we organized the Somerville Bill of Rights Defense Committee. After a year of holding public events and collecting signatures and lobbying aldermen, we got the resolution passed. So I'd like to quote from Somerville's city seal:
Municipal Freedom Gives National Strength
The fact is, civil liberties are a local issue. Much of what affects them is administered and controlled locally. Whatever the federal government does or says, most law enforcement is not carried out by federal police forces. Policies and practices that affect our freedoms are set and carried out by schools, libraries, city & town governments, administrators, and state legislatures. There is intrinsic value in a city declaring, to all of its public bodies and their employees, what its values and policies are regarding civil liberties.
But this is also a national, political movement. Resolutions are not legal instruments, they are political statements. One of the main reasons to do this is to influence politcs, both state and national. A number of states have already passed similar resolutions in their legislatures. The growth in the number of local, county, and state resolutions sends a message to Congress, and can influence federal policymaking. It shows not just what people's opinions are (polls could do that), but what actually motivates people all over the country to organize.
In 2001, Russ Feingold was the only Senator to vote against the Patriot Act. This winter, Feingold led a bipartisan coalition that came surprisingly close to achieving significant Patriot Act reform. On the floor of the Senate, he read the text of many of these local and state resolutions – it was clear that these resolutions helped him build his coalition by making Senators aware of how concerned their constituents are about this issue (and that it's not just prognosticating, but actual organizing activity – the kind that influences elections).
This is not a partisan issue. The strongest state level anti-Patriot Act resolution comes from one of the two reddest states in the country, Alaska. The other one, Idaho, also passed a very good resolution also calling for Patriot Act reform. Alaska's resolution was sponsored by the Republican speaker of the house. Why has Massachusetts, the bluest state, not passed its own statewide resolution yet? Dallas passed a great resolution, but Boston has not. When Feingold was reading those resolutions on the Senate floor, Boston's voice, and Massachusetts' collective voice, was not heard. In Boston the problem is similar: City council president Flaherty keeps ruling it out of order.
We actually have the highest percentage of cities and towns with resolutions passed in the country, but our biggest cities, Boston and Worcester, are frankly an embarassing disgrace.
I had forgotten that Tim Murray was one of the architects of this disgrace. He is now the only candidate for Lt. Governor who I actively oppose, and I will work to spread the word among civil liberties activists. Shame on him!
which state is the other one of the "two reddest states?"
So then why should a non partisan city council that represents all of it's citizens; those that support the patriot act as well as those that do not and those that don't give damn make such a "poltical statement" You just want these mayors to pander to your thinking. They should be using their time and resources as citiy officials to make their communities safer, well educated and vibrant. You and I can and many other citizens can handle this and I think we can do it without resolutions from local governments.
I can understand you being disappointed but come on is this your biggest issue?
On both of your questions.
The two reddest states in the country, by partisan voting and the makeup of their legislatures and congressional delegations, are Alaska and Idaho. (Other states that have passed civil liberties resolutions urging reform of the Patriot Act span the red-blue spectrum: Montana, Colorado, Maine, Vermont, Hawaii, California).
As for why should cities pass these, I answered that too. Civil liberties such freedom of association, privacy, and so on, are profoundly affected by the policies and practices of local government, including police, schools, libraries, and city clerk's offices. Discrimination also affects life at a local level, and interactions between communities in our cities and towns. Municipal politicies to protect our rights, fight discrimination, and support freedom, do make communities safer, more vibrant, better places to live.
Cities pass policies on a regular basis that don't have universal concensus support. They pass policies they a) think are good for the city, b) have significant local support, c) that are pushed by active, organized groups. In this case, we have something that has very solid majority support and an active, organized group pushing for it. So the only conclusion we can come to is that some city officials, or at least Murray, didn't think the policy was a good one. Or is a coward. It's one or the other, and either way, shame on Murray.
You are comparing the city of Worcester with the states of Alaska and Idaho, (Who's your horse in the Gov race?)like the city of Worcester carries the same weight, why not ask the gov candidate if the wil push for this resolution, or have you and I missed that.
Alaska and Idaho are the two reddest states, this seems like a very subjective statement to me. I mean Ive heard Utah is the reddest state and Kansas is the reddest state.
You are stating it is good for the city of Worcester to pass this resolution.How? will is restore some of our lost liberties, will it reduce the property taxes, will it change the mind of the Americans who support this ( I have to admit I haven;t ben paying attention to this issue but last I knew it was supported by over 60% of Americans.) wil it fix the streets, potholes or schools? No it will make people like us feel good that a city took the time to pass something we already know. Try this, ask him how he feels, call his HQ or email him.
Can you link something for me that ther was " solid majority support " in the City of Worcester?
I'm no fan of Murray.
But your rationale suggests you believe city councils should pass resolutions on ANY topic – they should pass resolutions our negotiations with Iran, Supreme Court nominees, Social Security reform.
If an official instead redirects the council to focus on city affairs, he's a coward?
Okay: please tell us Mr. Bonifaz's position on: US invasion of Afghanistan; US support of Israel; and partial-birth abortion.
Of course if he chooses not to share those views, since he is running for Secretary of State, then he is a coward by your definition.
I am, however, a fan of Murray's
see this comment below: false alternative
First of all, none of this has anything to do with Bonifaz. I don't see what connection you're trying to draw but you're making no sense. He is, of course, a very politically engaged individual, and probably has opinions on all of those issues, but I haven't asked him. I don't see how this connects to the explanation I gave about municipal civil liberties resolutions, so I can only conclude you just didn't read it or let it slide right by you while holding whatever preconceived notions you already had.
Secondly, I have at least twice written about why this is a local as well as national issue. You'd also see that if you read some of the resolutions I linked to, including the Somerville resolution I co-wrote. In fact, in my long comment, I presented the local angle first, because I considered it more important than the national angle. Your repeated insistence on pretending I never addressed that point at all, just makes you look stupid. Really.
Your slippery slope argument has a tiny tidbit or merit that I would otherwise be willing to debate (basically, cities should pass resolutions on topics they think are very important, and that groups of their residents have put some time and energy into organizing for, and this does not mean "everything"). But I'm sure you wouldn't bother to read, and give me another knee-jerk pointless response.
Congratulations. You're the first Blue Mass Group commenter I will completely ignore. I didn't even ignore The Troll from the old days.
I'm not exactly sure where Tim stands on this issue wether he supports the patriot act or is not in favor of it. It was just put out of order because it had no relevance. If somebody knows where Tim stands I would be glad to know.
and he definitely is a strong opponent to the PATRIOT Act and the war in Iraq. If Murray helped get a great progressive like McGovern elected, my guess is that they agree on most of the issues. And McGovern endorsed Murray as well.
It's all correlation, but thats all I've got for ya. Unless someone wants to ask him.

Hunting & Fishing
Attention Hunters, Sportsman & Outdoor Enthusiasts
The hunting season is upon us and soon there will be hunters in the woods.
Hunting season will be open from September 14, 2019 through January 12, 2020. Authorized hunting days are Wednesday, Thursday, Sunday afternoons, and Saturday mornings. Each hunting area is marked with a yellow sign containing a Letter and number i.e. (B-1, G-2) indicating bow or gun areas.
SUBASE hunting rules, regulations, and safety briefs will be conducted on August 28, 2019, Sept 4, 2019, and Sept. 11, 2019 from 16:30 to 17:30 at the indoor rifle range. Additional hunting briefs will be held at 13:00 every Wednesday at Bldg. 3007 following hunter check-in through the end of October. Enjoy the outdoors and be safe.
Hunting onboard SUBASE Kings Bay
Hunting season is between September through January each year. Hunting aboard SUBASE is necessary to control the deer population, thus reducing the number of deer involved in vehicle accidents. SUBASE is an enclosed habitat. Hunting controls the deer population. Hunting prevents exceeding available food sources and promotes a healthy and productive deer herd. The hunting rules and regulations are outlined in detail in the SUBASE Hunting Instruction (SUBASEINST 11015.1T CH. 4).
Hunting season in no way restricts non-hunters from enjoying the same areas that hunters do. The key is to be aware that you may encounter hunters in the woods. For your own safety, please wear bright colored clothing, and stay on bike-paths and perimeter roads. If you choose to hike in the woods, contact the SUBASE Game Warden. The Game Warden can advise you on what areas are not occupied to ensure a safe and pleasant outing without encroaching on the hunters.
Hunters must have a Georgia state hunting license and big game license. Hunters must purchase a SUBASE hunting permit from MWR Tickets & Travel Office. Hunters must attend an annual rules, regulations, and safety brief prior to hunting or scouting the base. They must have a state approved Hunter Safety Course Certificate from any state if born after January 1961. They must have a SUBASE weapons registration for their hunting weapon/weapons from Stimson pass and I.D. less than three years old.
Fishing onboard SUBASE Kings Bay
SUBASE Fishing permits must be purchased from the MWR Tickets & Travel Office. Fishermen and women must have a Georgia state fishing license.

Are ads lying? Well, that's the topic that can be discussed, but John Austin would consider this pointless. In his opinion, we should examine individual statements not in terms of what they mean, but rather how they affect people.
Every flagship smartphone comes along with strange, new ritual: an online brawl between fans of different brands about which phone is the best. If John Austin was still alive, he wouldn't like to be part of such a dispute. It is impossible to discuss "which phone is the best" because the term "best" is extremely vague here. Many features of smartphones can be described as both a disadvantage and an advantage.
According to Austin, the philosophical discussion is similar. Various people, who are heavily entrenched in their positions, are fighting verbal battles, although they cannot necessarily explain what they are arguing about. According to the English philosopher, the key to understanding the world, therefore, is not to create new imaginary disputes, but to analyse the language people really speak.
First of all, the English philosopher separated statements into two types: those in which we do something and those in which we only describe something. For example, saying "I am firing you" or "I promise you this" doesn't describe any facts.
Austin called such statements "performatives". All kinds of promises, commitments, acknowledgments or other verbal actions can't be true according to the philosopher. They can be "happy" or "unhappy". For example, if a salesman says "I offer you a 5% discount", then depending on whether his competence allows it, whether the situation was played out "seriously", etc., we can state that he made a promise in a "happy" way or not.
The problem arises when we look at purely descriptive sentences, e.g. "this phone has a screen size of 5.5 inches" – seemingly, by saying this, you do not perform any action. Or do you? When you say something like that, you declare a certain position, you state a fact, you refer to some situation – to put it simple, even a fact – an informative statement can be treated as a kind of action.
Austin concluded that the most important thing is to study the practical effects of using a sentence, not its meaning or truthfulness.
Each statement can have different functions. If someone speaks out loud at a party "it's already midnight", they usually don't want to share their knowledge about the current time, but they rather want to suggest to someone else that the time is getting late and they have to go home. Or that it's time to serve champagne.
This approach to the subject is particularly important in the creation of advertising. If any product is described by just facts, it may turn out that the reader will experience the impression of a "wall of text", or even consider the product to be repulsive. Meanwhile, selective selection of seemingly irrelevant information may have a positive effect. For example, theoretically emotionless information about the country of origin of a product is perceived by consumers as a quality criterion. This is why so frequent inscriptions of the type "German quality", "designed in California", which are to distract the customer's attention from the Asian place of production.
In John Austin's philosophy, we also see the blurring of the difference between the sphere of "action" and "speaking". After all, every statement is an act of action and in this context, it is best to examine it. And… use it.

Here's what Ben says about his winning image: "I've dedicated the last few years to shooting underwater, looking for new angles and a new way to shoot surfing and waves. Shooting surfing from underwater is a whole new world and I love it!
"Tahiti has some of the clearest water in the world so it was easy for me to take advantage of it and explore it as much as I could.
"This photo was shot during a freesurf session right before the WCT event in Teahupo'o. This is Ace Buchan kicking out from the barrel through the wave, a technique to escape a close-out wave.
"Luckily I was right below, breathless with my waterhousing waiting for this moment and I was able to capture the whole sequence of it; this frame from the beginning of the sequence is the most powerful one because of the water around his face and body."
Finally, here are some of our favourite shortlisted entries.

Finally, Apple has decided to launch iPad in India on January 28! Exactly one year after the official announcement of iPad by Apple. Now that the Apple iPad will be launched soon, the completion between Apple iPad and Samsung Galaxy Tab is expected to become tougher! Most of us had already bought iPad from ebay and other sources for hugh sums. The officially released Apple iPad will be available for a much cheaper rate than the ones which are available now.
The WiFi only version of iPad is expected to be priced between Rs. 26,000 and Rs. 37,000 and the WiFi+3G versions will cost between Rs 33,000 and Rs 44,000 depending one the storage capacity. This can lead to a lot of competition as the Samsung Galaxy Tab is being sold for Rs. 32,000 in the Indian market. Apple has not yet fully utilized the potential of the Indian markets and the possibilities in India. We may have to wait another year for iPad 2 when western countries are expecting iPad 2 to be released in February. Lets wait and see what Apple is up to.

This document describes how to access native message information with Azure Service Bus transport version 1.4.0 and above.
Access to the native Azure Service Bus message details
It can sometimes be useful to access the native Service Bus message from behaviors and handlers. When a message is received, the transport adds the native Service Bus
Message to the message processing context. Use the code below to access the message details from a pipeline behavior:
class DoNotAttemptMessageProcessingIfMessageIsNotLocked : Behavior<ITransportReceiveContext>
public override Task Invoke(ITransportReceiveContext context, Func<Task> next)
var lockedUntilUtc = context.Extensions.Get<Message>().SystemProperties.LockedUntilUtc;
if (lockedUntilUtc <= DateTime.UtcNow)
return next();
return Task.CompletedTask;
The behavior above uses the native message's
LockedUntilUtc system property to determine wherever the message has lost its lock as a result of aggressive prefetching and slow processing. The message with the lost lock will not go through recoverability, skipping attempted processing that otherwise would be guaranteed to fail due to the message's lost lock.

In a world where consumers spend money purely for convenience and speed's sake (Favor and Doordash come to mind), it's no wonder so many customers are expecting more and more from the businesses they patronize. The result? A less patient client base with ever-increasing demands.
Of course, business isn't the only reason the general populace has grown impatient over the years. Societal factors play a role, too. Yet no matter the cause, the outcome remains the same. According to a 2019 report from NPR and IBM Watson Health: '42% of respondents said that, over the last year, they were angrier more often than they had been in the past.' Even more startling is this statistic: 84% of people said they think today's Americans are even 'angrier than they were a generation ago.'
If you don't have the infrastructure in place to deliver a quality product as soon as possible, your customer won't be happy and will move on to the next best thing. They'll make sure the world knows it, too. The NPR-IBM report stated nearly 90% of people are more likely to rant on social media than in person.
What does all of this mean for your business? In order to thrive, not only do you need to deliver a product that is quick to satisfy your customers' needs, you also need to be able to provide customer service that's convenient and provides instant gratification. That's where Help.com's omnichannel customer support solution comes in.
With an app that completely integrates live chat with your company's inbox, customers can reach out at a moment's notice without any barriers. In addition, agents can provide a seamless experience for customers who choose to switch between emailing and chatting online. Not only does this make it easier for customers to stay in contact, it also creates a deeper bond between them and your business. Say goodbye to customer anger with a quick app that fulfills all your customers' needs. Try Help.com today.

This study develops a framework to compare the ability of alternative earnings forecast approaches to capture the market expectation of future earnings. Given prior evidence of analysts' systematic optimistic bias, we decompose earnings surprises into analysts' earnings surprises and adjustments based on alternative forecasting models. An equal market response to these two components indicates that the associated earnings forecast is a sufficient estimate of the market expectation of future earnings. To apply our framework, we examine four recent regression-based earnings forecasting models, alongside a simple earnings-based random walk model and analysts' forecasts. Using the earnings forecasts of the model that satisfies our sufficiency condition, we identify a set of stocks for which the market is unduly pessimistic about future earnings. The investment strategy of buying and holding these stocks generates statistically significant abnormal returns. We offer an explanation as to why this and similar strategies might be successful.
