CIVILITY: A Post-Mortem
I'm a historian by temperament and training. As such, I've always tried to look at the big picture and not fall into the "things are worse now than they have ever been" trap. In many ways, we live in better times today than our ancestors did. People aren't routinely lynched for the crime of being black, people with mental, sexual, or socially "different" lifestyles are no longer stoned, burned at the stake, or sentenced to years of electroshock therapy. Slavery has been legally abolished throughout the civilized world. Women can vote. We have air conditioning (and it Texas summers, that is a HUGE technological blessing!). In so many marvelous ways, we in the Western world live better than human beings have been able to since the dawn of time.
So why can't we be nicer to each other?
For years I have drawn cartoons and pasted them to the whiteboard in my classroom for my students to read. Some are just plain silly, and some are me trying to make a point with a dollop of humor. Last fall I drew one showing three men having a debate. The two on each side were shouting at each other. One said: "You're a commie liberal Muslim-hugging snowflake!" while the other shouted: "You're a racist, homophobic right-wing teabagger!" Then the guy in the middle spoke up and said: "Can't you see that you are both loyal Americans who love this country but have different ideas about how it ought to be run?" At that, the other two looked at him and screamed in chorus: "What's wrong with you???"
That sums up a lot of it. We have slanted "fake news" websites right and left, the complete marginalization of the traditional media, and the constant self-affirmation that comes from social media circles whose members all share the same political beliefs. This is compounded by the number of complete nutjobs from all fringes of the political spectrum who bog down serious consideration of issues with conspiracy theories so ridiculous that no one should give them the time of day. The result is that real truth is more elusive now than ever. So otherwise rational human beings are convinced that Bush and Cheney conspired with Israel and "big oil" to murder 3000 people on 9/11, or that Barack Obama is a closet Muslim who deliberately weakened America to help groups like ISIS establish a global caliphate, or that "Big Pharma" (Rule number one of demonization: reduce a vast, complex industry owned by multiple interests to one word, then put "Big" in front of it!) is hiding dozens of "cures" for cancer in order to make more money by keeping people sick. Put all this together, throw in a healthy dose of pure ignorance, mix in generational anxiety over America's ever-changing social mores, and what do you wind up with? Tens of thousands of people whose minds are completely closed to any explanation of events that does not suit their world view; who have lost all sense of nuance and complexity and embrace a simplistic, black-and-white view of the universe which is populated only be true-believing Patriots and The Others - an evil, vast group of villains conspiring to destroy Mom, apple pie, baseball, the Pledge of Allegiance, and the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders.
Gone are the days when Ronald Reagan and Tip O'Neill could go at each other hammer and tongs from nine to five on Capitol Hill and then have cocktails at the White House that evening, when Bill Clinton could bash the Republican Congress on the campaign trail and still poach their best ideas, sign them into law, and then take credit for them when they worked. Now we are so polarized that ANY effort by people on either side of the political aisle attempt to work out some form of compromise to actually get something done, they are demonized as an "establishment sellout."
Well, as a historian, I can tell every one of you, both left and right - America as a nation was built on compromise! Our Constitution itself is nothing more than a bundle of compromises arrived at by a group of men deeply divided on the fundamental nature of our country - were we a confederation of sovereign states or a single nation made up of locally autonomous political districts? They couldn't agree on everything, so the document our nation is built on deliberately left many questions to be worked out in the future, by practice, trial, and error.
Can we bring civility back? Maybe. The best way to start is by us as individuals being civil to each other. Don't call people names because they disagree with you. Don't post inflammatory political articles until you verify whether or not they are factual - and even then, consider whether or not repeating this material will do anything to improve the situation it complains about. If someone posts something derogatory of offensive about a position you embrace, or a politician you admire, instead of shooting back with hateful invective, read it carefully. Research it to see if the claims it makes are true or not. Ask the person if they have ever considered the opposite point of view. TALK, don't yell. We've yelled at each other enough.
Civility may be dead in America today. But it doesn't have to stay that way.

Very true, Lew. One of the hings that amazes me about the current level of partisanship and rancor is that I can't tell where it comes from. Sure, we have our differences, but for the most part they're no different that things that divided us 20 years ago (remember Rodney King, O.J., Timothy McVeigh?) America's not perfect, for sure, but as you point out, we live in a Golden Age compared to the way most humans have lived throughout history. Maybe we all just got tired of living in an age of unprecedented peace and prosperity?ReplyDelete
I think the anonymity of internet communications makes it possible for us to be more ugly and rude than we would ever be in person without fear of reprisal. I meant to address that aspect of it in the original post and forgot.ReplyDeleteReplies
Also the Internet's bubble effect that encourages us to be exposed to points of view we already agree with, which means that when we meet someone we disagree with, we assume that they're somehow abnormal.Delete

When you're starting a new small business, every decision that you make is important to the bottom line. You may already know that the single most common reason that a small business fails is due to a problem with cash flow, and you don't want to waste a single cent if you can avoid it. However, no matter what, your new small business will have expenses that you will need to deal with. If you're stressed about spending money on your small business, here are some suggestions for ways that you can save cash without compromising quality.
Make Smart Purchases on Furniture
If your small business includes an office or other location where people will visit, you will need to buy furniture for your space. Don't just want into your nearest furniture showroom and pick up the first thing that catches your eye. Instead, do some shopping around and find the best deal that you can, either online or at a local store. For example, if you're in the Portland, Oregon area, you can find office furniture wholesale at a reputable store like Office Furniture Direct. This will save you money while you still will get quality products for your office space.
Use Clever Marketing Strategies
You don't have to spend a fortune to let people know about your business. Instead, you can use clever marketing ideas to help to grow your brand and share your business with your community. Social media is one of the most inexpensive and effective ways to reach out to new customers as well as communicate with old ones. Make sure that you have active accounts on platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram and use them wisely.
Hire Only the Best
Don't waste time and money retraining new employees when old ones don't work out. Instead, hire only the best and make sure that they have good reasons to stay with your company. You don't want to be busy looking for help when you should be focusing on your small business.

Applying for a loan for the first time can be a daunting experience. However, once you understand what each stage requires, it is a relatively simple process.
This can differ between lenders, but typically includes submitting a range of personal details and completing a standard application form. Your credit score and current financial situation is then used to determine your eligibility for a loan.
There are many ways to apply too, including over the phone or by post, although applying at a bank or online tend to be the quickest and easiest.
Discover the ins and outs of loan applications with our expert guide.
How does the loan process work?
Loan processes follow a simple format. A lender will typically request information on a potential borrower's financial situation to assess their ability to repay any agreed loan amount.
Providing you supply the necessary personal documents and information on time, processing a loan can be quite quick – giving you access to the funds you want, fast.
There are several stages involved in processing a loan:
1. Research & Requirements
Before you apply for your loan, it's worth doing a little research into the specifics to decide which type of loan will best suit your financial situation.
To start, you should check your credit score. Applying for a loan with a bad credit score means there's a higher chance of being rejected. Rejections for credit are recorded in your history and can lower your credit score further, which can make it even more difficult to get approval in the future.
It's also beneficial to consider whether you'll be able to afford the repayments on a loan, should you be approved. Our online loan calculator tool will give you an idea of the amount you'll likely be paying back on any agreement.
Lenders will request a variety of personal documentation and information as part of your loan application, ranging from your address history to your current employment. Making sure you have all of this to hand when you are looking to apply can help speed up the process.
2. Completing your forms
Next up, you'll need to apply. As mentioned, there are many ways of doing this, but most will involve completing an application form, either online or on paper. After you've submitted this, along with any other documentation requested, the lender will run a credit check on your financial history to assess your ability to meet the repayments.
3. Pre-Approval
Every lender will analyse a variety of factors when considering your eligibility for a loan. This can include:
- Credit Score
- Proof of residence
- Proof of income
- Proof of eligibility (age)
- Financial history ( existing or previous credit, CCJ's etc )
- Personal history
Once the lender has gathered all the appropriate information, they'll be able to give you a decision on whether your application has been a success. If you've got a poor credit score, it doesn't necessarily mean you've been rejected outright. The lender may contact you at this stage to discuss your application further.
4. Approval & Acceptance
Once all the checks have been completed, the lender will be in touch to let you know whether you've been successful. They can offer you your required amount, a revised amount, or refuse your application.
How long does a loan application take?
The duration of the application process can differ between lenders and the type of loan you've applied for. However, the entire process, from filling out your forms to successfully receiving your funds, can take from a few days to a few weeks dependant on the type of loan applied for. The faster you supply all the required personal information, the more chance you'll have of receiving your loan faster too.
It's worth noting that the stronger your credit score is, the quicker your loan will progress – those with a poor score are likely to be contacted by the lender first to discuss their financial situation, which will likely increase the length of the application process.
What is a loan application form?
When applying for your loan, you'll first need to complete a loan application form, either online or as a paper copy. You'll usually submit this alongside the necessary personal documents, such as a passport and your address history. Application forms differ between lenders, but typically don't take more than 30 minutes to complete.
What information do you need to apply for a loan?
When it comes to applying for a loan, there are a few personal details you'll need to provide. These include:
- Bank details
- Your current and previous addresses
- Current employment details
- Personal identification, such as a passport or birth certificate
What happens after I've been approved/rejected?
If you've been approved for a loan application, you'll be contacted by the lender with further details regarding how much they're willing to offer you and an agreed repayment structure. Along with this, there will be the terms and conditions of the loan arrangement . It's important that you read these in detail and familiarise yourself with how and when you'll pay back the borrowed amount.
Once you're happy and have come to an agreement with the lender, you'll have the money transferred into your bank account. Most lenders will begin this process instantly, though some will specify a pay date as part of your arrangement.
If your application has been rejected, it's best to find out why before applying again. An unsuccessful application could be for several reasons and is not always determined by your financial situation. Explore more on refused applications in our Know How guides.
Applying for a loan can be a simple and easy process, provided you submit all the required paperwork and additional information on time. A broker like Norton Finance can help guide you through the process and advise on which loan best suits your financial situation.

Seating Options
Our retractable seating systems are designed to offer the maximum flexiblity to venue owners and there are different options to choose from when deciding how the seats are arranged on the platforms of the stand. For example you can opt for automated seats, telescopic side rails, soft tip-up, gas spring fold-down assistance, drawer seats and curved stands as well as seats and chairs designed in-house to complement your stand.
While the platforms are often referred to as bleachers, unlike traditional telescopic bleachers our stands have a a stiff and rigid structure which is the best available on the market, and, according to our clients, makes them feel exactly like fixed stands. The finish of our stands is remarkably high end for movable stands and the mobility is uniquely easy, using the Master Eurêka system and LASER guiding options.
Single Row Bleacher
A telescopic single-row bleacher has one row of seats per platform, offering optimum visibility. This is the standard configuration. Switching to a double-row version is possible if the height of the hall does not allow the number of places required to be accommodated.
The highest platform is deeper to accommodate the stowed bleacher. It can thus be fitted with two rows of seats even in a single-row configuration, thus increasing the capacity, and can also have seats at the top of the stairs.
Double Row Bleacher
Telescopic double-row (or double platform) bleachers are used mainly in halls with low roofs. Each platform has two rows of rear-mounted seats (tipping forwards).
The second row of seats can be staggered and can be raised by 8 to 15 cm in relation to the first row to improve the visibility. This type of bleacher increases the capacity for halls with a lower roof.
Curved Bleachers
The MASTER Industrie curved telescopic seating system allows each spectator to be seated in the axis, focussing on the stage without having to turn his or her head, ideal for comfort and visibility.
This is the optimum configuration for long shows, in combination with top-of-the-range MASTER Industrie chairs for a perfect result.
Foldaway Seats
Foldaway seats fold down into an integrated compartment, thus leaving the bleachers bare to be used for a different purpose.
This type of MASTER Industrie telescopic seating system means you can have a grandstand configuration without seats or a more standard version with chairs.
This flexibility allows you to modify the stand according to the public and the length of the show. School children can be accommodated on the tiered stand without any risk of them damaging the auditorium seating.
Seat Positions
The chairs on your MASTER Industrie bleachers can be arranged in different ways:
Rear-mounted, allowing front panels to be fitted for an optimum finish when closed, but this requires the addition of a row of seats in compartments or removable seats on the first row. This is the standard position. The chair folds down forwards on the bleacher.
Nose-mounted, allowing a row of seats to be fitted on each bleacher, including the first row. The chair folds down backwards on the bleacher.
Attachment to the riser behind. This is similar to rear-mounting, but has the advantage of making the bleachers easier to clean as the floor area is free of chair legs.

"America First" and Lessons from the Past
How the decline of the Roman Imperial economy compares to today's upcoming protectionism
Current protectionist tendencies are numerous and extensive enough to anticipate the threat of a rise of a new and worldwide protectionism. While populist economic policies in the recent past have concentrated mainly on several regimes in South America, Trump's ideas regarding "America First" give reason to expect a protectionist experiment on a new and macroeconomic scale. Looking further into the past, there has already been a state entity that had at least an equal leading role in world economy as the United States has today: The Roman Empire domineered trade in the known regions of the globe in an extensive manner. What were the economic and social consequences back then, if Roman emperors decided to resort to policies of protectionism?
Pax Romana/Pax Americana
Perceptions of the modern-day United States as comparable to Imperial Rome have been widespread amongst especially American describers and political commentators. This practice is not restricted to invocations of fears of political or cultural supremacy, but also serves to communicate views concerning the leading role of the U.S. in the world economy.
In this area, there are indeed some striking discoveries to be made when comparing today's United States and Imperial Rome: not only did both actors provide a reliable and worldwide accepted currency, but also kept tariffs at a low level and – interestingly – accepted a large foreign trade deficit for decennia (in the case of Imperial Rome seemingly even for centuries). Comparisons between Rome and the U.S. don't come as a surprise considering the fact that the founding fathers of this relatively young nation wilfully included principles of the Roman Republic and ideas of ancient philosophers into its Declaration of Independence.
Buy American is a bad deal
But the tradition of "America First" also can be traced back to the very moment of the conception of the United States, when on the evening of December 16, 1773 tea was thrown from three merchant ships in Boston and with it the tariffs of the British Empire. Dealing with unfavourable foreign trade relations therefore lies at the heart of the American self-conception, and it is correspondingly easy to appeal to it as well as agitate for it. From the 1880s onwards the slogan "Buy American" has foreigners from all over the world plotting by way of their imported products against the interests of good honest American workers and their jobs.
We have as much right to regulate imports as we have to regulate immigration. We have as much right to exclude certain imports, dangerous to our American standards and ideals, as we have the right to exclude certain immigration which is a menace to our American standards and ideals. (William Randolph Hearst, San Francisco Examiner, January 5 1933)
For too long, Americans have been forced to accept trade deals that put the interests of insiders and the Washington elite over the hard-working men and women of this country. As a result, blue-collar towns and cities have watched their factories close and good-paying jobs move overseas, while Americans face a mounting trade deficit and a devastated manufacturing base. (The White House website, statement on America First Foreign Policy)[1]
The roles of the foreigners changed many times from Irish to Chinese, from Japanese to Mexican and sometimes back again. Profiteers of the instigated protectionist measures, studies show, have not been the American workers, but certain regional or specifically oriented industries.
For economists considering modern and developed nation states it seems to be rather obvious by now, that international free trade and globalization bring with them the potential of global growth and welfare on an unprecedented scale (while also comprising considerable risks).
From Chang'an to Ostia
The promises, which diversification and global trade hold as an engine for peace and prosperity were not foreign to the Roman Imperial economy either. Both Xenophon and Platon in his Politeia express similar statements and give reason to believe that the philosophy behind the Roman Imperial economic administration was pervaded by thoughts of liberalisation and free trade. While local subventions of emerging industries as well as moderate internal tariffs of 2, 5 % were the order of the day, the only major intervention of the Roman State under the emperors was the layout of about 100,000 km of streets and also the construction and maintenance of bridges, ports and channels, which constituted a massive and ongoing investment in trade infrastructure.
Other than that, economical steering is very difficult to substantiate. Trade policy therefore must have been very liberal and non-interventionist. This may have created the possibility to establish a considerable magnitude of foreign trade relations, stretching from Scandinavia, Germany and Southern Russia in the north as well as to Arabia, India, Sri Lanka and China in the East. Especially the coverage of Roman-Indian trade may astonish: sources attest a yearly cash flow of 50,000,000 Roman sesterces towards India while receiving luxury goods: pepper, Ivory, silk, scents, exotic animals, corals, lotus, scarce plants from the Himalaya region, clothes, oils, vine, art objects and slaves.
Shiploads from India … can be seen in such masses, that one could suspect, for the people there only bald trees are left and they would have to come here to reclaim their products, if they needed some of them. The entering and departure of ships never stops, so that one does not only have to marvel at the harbour but also at the sea that it suffices, if possible, for all the barge. … What you don't see here, does not count as existing or having existed. (Roman panegyric Aelius Aristides commenting the east-western trade)
Some historians attest a large foreign trade deficit on grounds of the excessive outward flow of precious metals. Even emperor Tiberius himself is believed to have complained about the loss of money to peoples in remote regions. Still, in the first two centuries A. D. the Roman Empire is considered to be an area of economic growth and substantial welfare for broad layers of its inhabitants. Commerce and trade flourished to a degree unprecedented in human history and helped to enable a period of relative peace and stability for generations, despite a possible foreign trade deficit.
A protectionist Empire?
While it is not easy to decide upon specific moments of Roman history in which economic decline manifested itself, on the long run it is not difficult to identify the measures that went along with the disintegration of Roman economic power. Put under continuous pressure from numerous enemies at every border, Rome had to invest heavily in its military strength up to a point when the military costs reached 75 % of the state budget. New and rigorous taxes were imposed on individuals and cities and overall trade and welfare began to decline under the new circumstances of political instability.
Imperial bureaucratic grasp on the financial disposition of the single citizen started to intensify, and a foreign trade tariff of 25 % began to impair the ability to import goods from foreign lands. These developments went along with a substantial debasement of the Roman currency that lead to Europe-wide inflation which vitiated the structural integrity of the Roman economy in a lasting way.
The inflation in turn made any tax payment in money obsolete, so that state organisations had to resort to payment in kind for presumably at least a decennium. The losses of the Roman economy following these developments are impossible to quantify nowadays. But there is reason to assume they constituted the beginning of the end of a worldwide economically stable period, with standards of living in Europe that were only reached again in the 18th century.
It does not seem that there were any measures taken by the Roman government during nearly three hundred years that were intended to limit free trade. Moreover it seems that a liberal and non-interventionist policy was seen (and proven) to be nearly a guarantee for Rome's market-oriented, partially rapidly growing and in that sense capitalistic economy. Only when forced by outward circumstances to interfere with markets, trade and tariffs to survive occurring emergency situations, Roman emperors resorted to policies of protectionism.
If anything can be learned from history it might be that knowledge may prevent stupid decisions. The fate of the Roman Empire as a past leading superpower in the western world might illustrate that policies of protectionism, when exacted on a global scale, are prone to produce more harm than good. That is neither a new insight, nor should it come as a surprise to Americans who have to hear the Zombie slogan of "America First" again in 2017. If Trump is successful, after his administration has concluded, they are destined to learn its protectionist measures will not have produced a sustainable benefit for the American economy, not to mention the hard-working men and women it purports to protect.

The Faces of Guahån
War in the Pacific National Historical Park
Tanya Sortor, PHP Education Coordinator & Ashton Williams, NPS Biological Science Technician
If you had a choice, would you rather learn about important historical events in a classroom, online, or at the place they actually happened? More and more, educators are discovering the power of place. Taking students out of the classroom and into the real world gives students a new and exciting way to not just learn history, but to experience it themselves.
This past school year, Pacific Historic Parks designed an education program titled Faces of Guahån. Over 1,300 junior high school students discovered the power of place at their national park. The Faces of Guahån program took students beyond their textbooks and immersed them in their local history for a powerful educational and emotional experience. Students went to Asan Bay Overlook to learn about World War II and the impact of occupation by the Japanese. Guahån is the CHamoru name for the island of Guam, and many students were direct descendants of the men and women whose names cover the marble walls of the memorial. Through songs, photos, sound effects, artifacts, games, and dramatic interpretations, students gained insight into the history of people that over the years has evolved but has not been forgotten.
The students began their experience by peering across the expanse of the overlook. From their vantage point, the students could clearly see where the Japanese defense forces had dug in, awaiting the upcoming battle. They identified the shore where the US Pacific Fleet of nearly 500 battle ships arrived with their tanks and guns. They observed the land where 1,700 American soldiers and 18,000 Japanese soldiers were killed in the battle for Guam.
With the imagery of the war fresh in their minds, the students began listening to individual accounts of the war and the occupation. News clips, sound effects, and artifacts helped students feel like they were living in the time of the Japanese occupation. One story in particular, that of young Beatrice Flores Emsley, was especially moving to the students. Listening to Beatrice's account of imprisonment, torture, and attempted decapitation was an emotional experience for the students, especially because she had been the same age as many of the students in the program. The detailed descriptions of her experience—the confusion she felt when her family disappeared, the pain of the attempted decapitation, and the wriggling of the maggots that infested her wound—made the students squirm, cringe, and groan.
PHP staff shared stories and photos of their own family members who were affected by the war, and this prompted teachers and students to share their own family histories of occupation and imprisonment. Each shared story built upon the last and cemented the students' connection to their history, their land, and their national park.
Then, the students chose a name on the memorial wall, made a wall rubbing transferring the name to their papers allowing them to take a piece of history home. Many students chose the names of relatives, while others chose the names of survivors whose personal accounts of suffering and bravery they had just witnessed. The students went home with a deep understanding of the horrors of war and the resilience and solidarity of the CHamoru people.
Pacific Historic Parks invites you to come and feel the power of place at your national parks. There are over 400 national parks and monuments across the United States and its territories for you to connect with, all with their own stories and experiences to share.

Generating HTTP requests for invoking services
Aside from calling services via browser (using the Invoke in Browser option), you can also call services from the HTTP Client. By dragging and dropping the service or API file1 to the HTTP Client view, the request will automatically be generated for you. This is useful for sending requests to the server.
The HTTP Client supports the dragging and dropping of the following items:
- Gloop services (
- Groovy services (
- Flux services (
- Gloop REST API files (
- Gloop REST API path and operation nodes
Not only will the HTTP client populate your parameters with default values provided in your code, it will also populate headers and authentication data for you.
Use the context menu to invoke services via the HTTP Client
As an alternative to dragging and dropping a file to the HTTP Client, you may right click an invokable item and select Invoke in HTTP Client from the appearing context menu.
Default authentication type
When you drag and drop a service to the HTTP Client or use the context menu to invoke a service from it, the request's authentication type is set to Martini session by default.
Invoking a Gloop service
To invoke a Gloop service:
- Drag and drop the Gloop service file to the HTTP Client.
- Depending on your service and the type of call you want to make, populate the input data required and/or set the authentication.
- Click Send.
Invoking a Gloop REST API
You can drag and drop a Gloop REST API file (
.api) from the Navigator to the
HTTP Client and the HTTP Client will generate a request for every operation exposed in the API.
Aside from files, you can also drag and drop a path or operation node from the Operations tab of the Gloop REST API editor. When you drag and drop a path node, the HTTP Client will generate requests for all operations under that path. When you drag and drop an operation node, the HTTP Client will create a request for invoking that HTTP operation. This allows you to have finer control over which requests will be created.
REST APIs may contain multiple paths, and each path may be comprised of multiple operations
Consider these operations from Swagger's Petstore API:
/petAdd a new pet to the store
/petUpdate an existing pet
/pet/findByStatusFind pets by status
You will notice that there are two paths in our list above:
/pet and
/pet/findByStatus. The
path holds only one operation: the operation whose method is
GET; but the
/pet path has two operations, each
respectively under
POST and
PUT methods.
Set an HTTP request's response code by adding a request parameter named
When the REST API operation you're invoking in the HTTP Client has its
Mock property enabled to
true, then a
$gloopResponseCode query parameter can be added to the generated request in order to set the response code.
Invoking a Flux service
To invoke a Flux service:
- Drag and drop the Flux service you want to invoke to the HTTP Client.
- Populate the necessary inputs of the service which are either in the Parameter or Body tab.
- Specify the start state by setting the
- Click Send.
Invoking a Groovy service
To invoke a Groovy service:
- Drag and drop the Groovy file you want to invoke from the Navigator view to the HTTP Client.
- Select the method you want to invoke from the service picker. Once done, click OK.
- Supply the required inputs of the service.
- Click Send.
You can also create a request to a Groovy service while in the Groovy service editor by clicking the run button beside the method you want to call and then choosing "Invoke '<service>' in HTTP Client".
Dragging and dropping of Gloop REST API paths or operations to the HTTP Client is also supported. ↩

SAN FRANCISCO — It's New Year's Eve, which means surge-pricing will be in full effect pretty much everywhere. Don't want to wake up with a triple-digit bill, a totaled car or drunken driving charge? Bay Area transit agencies have you covered.
BART will be offering late-night service. MUNI, Caltrain, VTA, SamTrans and AC Transit all have free rides until dawn. And AAA's Tipsy Tow service will get you and your car home — for free!
Here's what you need to know to ring in 2018:
The Bay Area's regional transit system will run standard Saturday service (even though it will be Sunday) until 8 p.m. on New Year's Eve with special service starting after that and running until 3 a.m. To avoid over-crowded platforms in downtown San Francisco, trains will skip certain stations. Regular fares are in effect, but the agency's planned fare increase won't start until 8 a.m. Monday morning.
- Getting there: Pittsburg/Bay Point and Richmond trains heading to San Francisco will not stop at Embarcadero station, but patrons can exit at Montgomery. Dublin/Pleasanton and South Fremont/Warm Springs trains heading into San Francisco will not stop at Montgomery, so patrons must get off at Embarcadero for the annual fireworks show. The same is true for return trips.
- Heading back: Dublin/Pleasanton and South Fremont/Warm Springs trains will not stop at West Oakland. Riders must catch a San Francisco-bound train from Lake Merritt to return to West Oakland, if that's their destination. If you're headed to Millbrae and Daly City, use the Montgomery Street station.
Caltrain and SamTrans
Free rides on Caltrain and SamTrans buses begin at 8 p.m. New Year's Eve and last until 5 a.m. There will be more northbound trains headed to San Francisco during the early evening and extra southbound trains after the end of the fireworks show in San Francisco. Post-show trains will make all local weekend stops from San Francisco to San Jose. Trains will depart when they are full, with the final train pulling out of San Francisco around 2 a.m.
Caltrain would also like to remind passengers that open containers of alcohol are not allowed after 9 p.m. Disrespectful drinkers will be asked to take a hike.
Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA)
VTA light rail and buses will be free from 8 p.m. Sunday until 5 a.m. Monday. The Alum Rock-Santa Teresa and Mountain View-Winchester light rail lines will have extended service on New Year's Eve, as will the 180/181 express lines. Visit VTA.Org/Getting-Around/New-Years-Service for detailed schedule information.
For the 18th year in a row, the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency is waiving fares to ring in the New Year, beginning at 8 p.m. and lasting until 5 a.m. Don't tag your Clipper card or activate MUNImobile, or you will get charged.Just hop on board.
- There will be extra MUNI Metro service between West Portal and Embarcadero stations until 5 a.m. and between West Portal and 4th & King stations until 2:15 a.m.
- There will be extra owl service from 1 a.m. until 5 a.m. on the following lines: 5-Fulton, 14-Mission, 22-Fillmore, 24-Divisadero, 25-Treasure Island, 38-Geary, 44-O'Shaughnessy, 48-Quintara/24th, 90-Owl, 91-Owl, L-Owl, and N-Owl
- Buses will replace the historic streetcars on the F-Market & Wharves line all day and will replace cable cars after approximately 6 p.m.
AC Transit
East Bay bus riders will also ride for free on New Year's Eve, beginning at 8 p.m. and lasting until 5 a.m. Don't even bother tapping a Clipper card or inserting cash because the fare boxes won't accept payments during those hours. Visit ACTransit.Org/Maps for schedules and real-time departures.
Can't bear to leave your car at home?
AAA encourages all revelers to designate a sober driver, but it also has a back-up for when the best laid plans get fouled. Members and non-members can call 1-800-AAA-HELP (that's 1-800-222-4357) between 6 p.m. on New Year's Eve and 6 a.m. on New Year's Day. Tipsy Tow provides a free, 10-mile tow and ride home. After the first 10 miles, you'll be charged a standard towing rate. The service does not include roadside assistance.

About Me
Hi, I'm Bret Baird! I teach 6th, 7th and 8th grade PE. I'm in Room A-1. I taught at MIT from 1988 to 1991 Kennedy from 1991 to June 2013 Clifford from August 2013 to December 2014 I have been back at Kennedy since January 2015 I helped get the Gary Beban Gym built at Kennedy and started the Hall of Fame. I got the Heisman Trophy for Kennedy and helped raise approximately $100,000 for Kennedy (Rock wall, golf clubs, high jump pit, etc.) I have traveled around the world and have been in the White House's Oval office. I have swam on the back of a giant Manta ray in Bora Bora Tahiti. I swam with Whalesharks in the Philippines. I biked over 400 miles across Iowa, with up to 20,000 other riders, twice.
Parents can call me anytime at 255-2623. If I am not available at the time, I will get back to them within 24 hours. I want for all students what I want for my own 3 children - to live a long healthy, happy life and for all of their dreams to come true. But it takes some work. I look forward to meeting with parents to insure their child gets the best education possible.
Activities in my class include: Rockwall, High Jump, Scooterboards, Boogerball, Football, Basketball, Track, Hockey, Soccer, Health and Fitness training, Track Cooperative Games and much more.
My course focuses on good sportsmanship, teamwork and conditioning. Students are expected to treat other people, equipment, and facilities with respect. Students are expected to use good sportsmanship and are not allowed to bully or tease other students at any time. Students will be rewarded with verbal praise and encouragement and, when possible, a positive call home. All students are expected to change clothes for class. All students are expected to change into Kennedy Physical Education shirts and black shorts or sweats.
Students grades come from daily participation, attitude and effort points. Students must be on time, participate fully and behave properly to receive all their daily points.
Our Class Motto is: Bigger, Faster, Stronger, Smarter, Healthier, Happier! I look forward to working with you to make you child the best possible version of themselves they can be.

The Bad Plus brings jazz reimaginings of pop, rock hits to Jefferson Center
By: Tad Dickens
Sometimes, the best creative partnerships are born out of simple curiosity.
The Bad Plus, which hits Jefferson Center on Thursday, is a good example. Bassist Reid Anderson, drummer Dave King and pianist Ethan Iverson '" all from the Minneapolis area '" had each forged careers of their own in the jazz world. Anderson and Iverson were leading their own projects in New York City, while King had moved back home from Los Angeles after the 1994 earthquake.
At the turn of the century, the three decided to take a stab at playing together.
'Individually, we had played with each other, but we had never played together, with the exception of one time one afternoon in 1990 at my parents' house,' Anderson said from his home base, New York City. 'I think we were all curious to see what it would sound like. It's as basic as that.
'Once we came together, I think we felt that this was something that had a unique sound from the beginning. We saw that it could be a place for us to really be ourselves and to make group music. So we decided to commit.'
Seventeen years later, The Bad Plus is one of jazz music's stars, getting critical acclaim while building an audience through a mixture of original compositions and improvisation-filled re-imaginings of pop and rock songs.

by Public Relations Office—Cedarville, Ohio
Cedarville, Ohio—"Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation" is a decree from the Gospel of Mark that has inspired countless missionaries across the globe to carry out their work. In January, some of these missionaries will gather at Cedarville University to share their experiences.
Cedarville's annual Missions Conference runs Tuesday, Jan. 6, through Thursday, Jan. 8, with the closing session beginning at 7 p.m. on Thursday. With "Taking the Light" as its theme, the conference will present six sessions with a variety of speakers.
"The purpose of our missions conference is to keep the needs of the world before our Cedarville community," says Brian Nester, director of missions involvement. "While there are needs close to home, many people groups are in places where the Gospel is still not yet clearly presented."
The three evening sessions at 7 p.m. will feature Dr. Michael Loftis, president of the Association of Baptists for World Evangelism (ABWE), as the keynote speaker.
When Loftis and his wife, Jo Beth, began their ministry with ABWE in 1988, they were the first to focus on reaching the Iron Curtain countries of Eastern Europe. During their 12 years of overseas leadership, they established a ministry team that grew to 70 career missionaries serving in nine countries in Central and Eastern Europe and the Middle East. Dr. Loftis served as the ABWE executive director of Central and Eastern Europe from 1990 to 2000. He became the president of ABWE in 2001.
Additional speakers include Dr. Ric Escobar of One Challenge International on Tues., Jan. 6, and Paul Jenks of Advancing the Ministries of the Gospel International on Wed., Jan. 7. Both organizations strive to meet the needs of the impoverished through preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
On Thursday at 10 a.m. Dr. Hans Finzel will speak. A successful author, consultant and expert in the field of leadership, Finzel has been the full-time president and CEO of WorldVenture for 15 years. WorldVenture is an international mission agency with a staff of 600 associates in 65 countries.
Finzel and his wife, Donna, spent 10 years living in Vienna, Austria, while training leaders throughout Eastern Europe behind the Iron Curtain before the fall of communism.
After the Tuesday evening session, the Missions Involvement Services will host an ice cream social for attendees to interact with missionaries in a relaxed setting. Each afternoon and after the Wednesday evening service there will be a number of topical seminars offered by the missionary representatives.
Nearly 80 missionaries will attend the conference, representing 38 mission agencies.

Spring 2015 trends have been spotted this week on the runways and obviously, everyone is very eager about them but one thing should be remembered that we're heading towards the fall season. We have found the cat eye, the hottest fads of last fashion Week, and a very easy DIY to make you ready for the approaching season. This cut is really so clear that it's amazing.
Makeupartist Neil Scibelli used one important product "Eyeko Alexa Chung Lash Enhancing Eye Do Eyeliner to create the look. Its name shows that this liquid eyeliner pen is created by Alexa Chung whose fame is due to her flicked-up style. But this check-mark eyeliner has been worn for decades and she's not the only one to wear that. You can learn to create an everyday glamour look like Lauren Conrad and then by making it similar to the modern Cleopatra style, you can also add a drama.

PALLIATIVE Live-in Care "END OF LIFE CARE"
Looking for Palliative Care
Modern medicine has been able to overcome many disorders and illnesses that were not curable until recently. Yet there are still a large number of disorders that cannot be treated even with the best of medical science. For a large number of patients, help is more or less limited to the reduction of pain symptoms and ailments without the direct treatment of the underlying cause. The term palliative medicine is derived from the Latin word 'palium', which means a coat. The goal of palliative care is to provide a specially trained team of doctors, nurses and other specialists who work together to care for a patient who is terminally ill and restore them to the best possible functioning without suffering. The services can also be performed by a live-in carer, apart from doctors and nurses.
A person suffering from multiple illnesses who has already received many forms of therapy and hospital care in their life without much improvement can be a candidate for palliative care. Long-term medical procedures, treatments and incisions leave a strong mark on the patient's life. Quite often, treatments do not provide the desired effect. As a result, the palliative patient's feelings may become dominated by fear, discouragement, weariness, bitterness and even distrust of any additional offered medical care. The largest group of palliative patients consists of those people who have undergone oncology treatment. These are people who have been diagnosed with and treated for cancer usually in its metastatic phase.
Palliative medicine, hospices and treatment isn't just created for patients with cancer. A patient requiring palliative treatment may suffer from other progressive diseases where prognosis does not offer any hope of recovery. These include neurological diseases, multi-organ failure or post-stroke conditions.
In many cases, a palliative patient is unable to leave the bed and needs help with eating meals and going to toilet. The care giver of such patients must be prepared for the daily re-change of pads, change of position, patting, massaging and bedsore care. Decubitus ulcers are a special threat for this group of patients due to immobilization. The disease can lead to protein deficiency and destruction of body tissues.
A palliative patient's nutrition may be hindered by digestive system disorders. These include inflammatory acids appearing in the oral cavity (often occurring as a drug complication), nausea, vomiting and constipation. If oral nutrition does not provide the patient with adequate calories, vitamins and trace elements, it is often necessary to feed the patient through a stomach tube. Mixed food is added to the probe, enriched with high-calorie supplements: butter, milk and sugars. This form of feeding is much less pleasant for the patient and can be slightly painful, but often necessary. The palliative patient also requires proper medication, adequate pain control and dressing changes. All these activities are usually performed by live-in home care provider.
Caring for a sick person who knows about their imminent death is difficult. It often compels us to think about our own views, beliefs and customs. People requiring palliative care are usually quite aged and have decades of experience and wisdom, despite a failing memory. A bond is often formed between the patient and their caregiver, which is much stronger than we expect. When two people are connected with every day intimate activities, closeness and touching, it can even bring strangers closer.
It is not just the patient who suffers from the awareness of their departure. We have seen that the carer also suffers, even if they were not closely related to the patient initially. Many people find it difficult to talk about death. It is not a common thing to discuss in our daily lives. We dismiss death and matters related to our consciousness and push them from our thought. This helps us enjoy life and be happier.
In most conversations with a terminally ill person, many of us try to deny the illness, comfort the patient and give them assurance of healing. Palliative patients, on the other hand, do not need false assurances that death will not come. They usually want to discuss it, find ways to tame it and get used to the idea of death. Giving patients a sincere conversation and listening to their needs, desires and memories is often the best we can do to help them. While a carer may not be able to give the patient hope of a full recovery, they can give him or her many other extremely important things in their terminal state; the company of another human being, emotional support, consolation, proper care, reminiscing old memories, pain relief and a few prayers if the patient is religious.
Palliative care is provided to patients that are terminally ill and a few requirements must be met before a caregiver can work with the client.
Palliative care is usually provided at the patient's home. In case of intensification of ailments where it becomes impossible to provide care at home, patients are referred to hospices for a stationary or palliative ward of the nearest hospital.
Long-term care is a temporary or indefinite provision of nursing and care services to a patient. It also includes provision of help and support to chronically ill or disabled people. It may apply to everyone, although it is particularly important in societies where the average old age for patients is growing every year. The natural aging process and many concealed slow-progressing diseases (e.g. atherosclerosis, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis or dementia) inevitably lead to increased dependence on long-term care.
Long-term palliative care can be exercised at home:
Patients who qualify for at-home care do not require hospitalization. Live-in home care can also be used for patients who do not want to be in long-term care facilities for various reasons. Palliative care can be provided in certain health conditions that require intensive nursing care and implemented in cooperation with the primary care doctor

I currently have a 30 year loan at 4.25% and I got quotes for as low as 3.75% and 3.875 by stephandan68973830 from Evergreen, Virginia. Mar 23rd 2015
What type of loan do you currently have VA, FHA or conventional?
I need more information. I am a license Loan Originator in Virginia. Please give me a call. 804-556-0685.
More info would be needed to properly advise you, but in general, if your loan amount is not going up, and you are lowering your interest rate, then it's probably a good idea..If your loan amount is going up, then it's possible it might or might not be a good idea.. it' depends on many factors.. I'm a Broker here in Scottsdale AZ and I only lend in Arizona. If you or someone you know is looking for financing options, feel free to contact me or pass along my information. William J. Acres, Lender411's number ONE lender in Arizona. 480-287-5714 WilliamAcres.com
Like everyone else, more information is needed. But, in general if your loan balance does not increase and you get enough lender credit to pay closing cost and you reduce your payment its a good idea. That being said there are times when paying the closing cost and therefore getting a lower rate can be beneficial. It's best you contact a local mortgage banker to be precise. Feel free to contact me . I am with Guaranteed Rate / indianapolismortgageguy.com 317-225-4868
FYI: There is NO SUCH THING as a mortgage loan with no closing costs!!!!! ALL LOANS have closing costs! Most refinances are really "no out of pocket" costs. The standard closing costs are either rolled on top of your existing balance to get the new loan, or are paid for with a slightly higher interest rate rate. Regardless, don't be fooled into thinking it is somehow free.

The 17-year-old John Ehret High School student told investigators she rode the same public bus from Terrytown to school in Marrero each morning. She had spotted [Leroy] Dillon [45] — also a regular — staring at her on several different occasions, an arrest report said.
The girl told Sheriff's Office investigators the behavior creeped her out, the report said.
On Jan. 21, Dillon tried to make his move and spark up a conversation with the girl. But instead of sticking to current events, the girl said he pulled out his penis and started to masturbate while staring at her, the arrest report said.
The girl told investigators she refused to look at Dillon until he exited the bus at his usual stop, Barataria Boulevard and the Lafitte Larose Highway in Marrero, according to an incident report. She told her mother about the encounter when she got home from school.
The girl's mother called the Sheriff's Office. Detectives spoke with a representative from Jefferson Transit who helped them obtain surveillance video footage from the bus which they used to identify Dillon as the suspect, the report said.
Authorities arrested him the next day on the bus at Stumpf Boulevard and West Bank Expressway in Gretna, Fortunato said. During questioning, Dillon admitted taking out his genitals and shaking them at the victim, an arrest report said.
Dillon told detectives he thought that would get the girl to like him, the report said.

Teen Shoots to Death Father, 2-Year-Old Half-Sister [UPDATE]
The 17-year-old son of a man who was found shot to death Monday at a home near Abita Springs is being held in the St. Tammany Parish jail on two counts of first-degree murder, and has not been granted bond, St. Tammany Parish Sheriff Jack Strain's office said Tuesday. Jacob Middleton Jr., of 1601 Haring Road in Metairie, is accused of fatally shooting his father, Jacob Middleton Sr., 35, and his 2-year-old half-sister, Makayla Middleton.
The girl's mother found the bodies in the elder Middleton's home in the 72000 block of Carnation Street in the Abita Nursery subdivision on Monday about 10 a.m. The girl and her mother did not live at the home, said Capt. George Bonnett of the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office. The coroner's report lists the 2-year-old's address as New Orleans.
St. Tammany Parish coroner Dr. Pramod Menon said both victims died of a gunshot wound to the head.
…Jacob Middleton Jr. "indicated that his actions were the result of, among other things, his hatred of his father for what he claimed was years of abuse and family violence," Strain said.

Update: Teenager indicted for murder in deaths of father, half-sister. The [New Orleans] Advocate, 3/21/2014.
Jacob Eli Middleton Jr. was indicted Thursday in 22nd Judicial District Court on two counts of first-degree murder in connection with the January shooting deaths of his father and 2-year-old half-sister at their house near Abita Springs.
…He was booked with the slayings Jan. 7, the day after the bodies of Jacob Middleton Sr. and Makayla Christine Middleton were discovered by the girl's mother, who called the Sheriff's Office. The child was visiting her father at the time of the slayings, the Sheriff's Office said at the time.
Both victims were shot in the head, according to the St. Tammany Coroner's Office.
The Sheriff's Office said the younger Middleton had confessed to the shootings, saying his actions resulted from his hatred of his father and what he claimed were years of abuse and family violence.
… The younger Middleton, whose nickname was "Sunshine," praised marijuana and alcohol on his Facebook page and made crude references to women but seldom mentioned family members. But in November 2011, he posted an expletive-laden post about his parents, ending with the Lil Wayne lyric, "Let 'em die."
He also mentioned stints in Operation Jumpstart, an alternative school in St. Tammany Parish for students who have been expelled, and the National Guard Youth Challenge Program, a residential military-school-type program for at-risk youth.

Parents Gone Bad: Father Rapes Daughters, Mother Tells Them To "say 'No'" Next Time
The abuse came to light Tuesday (Nov. 12) when the 11-year-old girl told a school counselor that she had been raped, Fortunato said.
The girl said her father repeatedly forced her to perform oral sex on him and had done so since she was 6. The girl said her father similarly assaulted her older sister, Fortunato said.
School officials immediately contacted the Sheriff's Office, and officers moved to interview the girls' parents. The father confessed to the rapes, Fortunato said.
The mother told detectives she learned a year earlier that her husband was assaulting their daughters, an arrest report said. She also knew the rapes had occurred for several years, but made no effort to contact authorities, Fortunato said. Instead, she told her daughters that if their father asked again for oral sex, they should say "No," the arrest report said.
The girls' father was booked Tuesday at the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center with two counts of aggravated rape. Their mother was booked with two counts of being an accessory after the fact to rape and two counts of cruelty to a juvenile, the report said.

The victim was born with Down syndrome and several holes in his heart, according to the report. The child was at the hospital because of breathing difficulties and had been admitted Oct. 16.
Fortunato said doctors discovered the child's blood-alcohol content of 0.289 after he had a seizure Sunday.
A level of 0.08 percent is considered presumptive evidence of drunken driving. For those younger than 21, a reading of 0.02 percent is presumptive evidence of drunken driving.
The amount found in the baby's blood suggests that 28 percent of his blood had been replaced by alcohol.
