But the biggest change in the [Romney campaign] ecology, according to the [unnamed] insiders, is the more assertive role of Tagg Romney, who has been "making sure that his father's environment is such that he's relaxed when he goes up to do things, and making sure that he's not over-programmed, and is protected from the cacophony of advice," a family friend said.The Daily News story:
"Romney gets buffeted by all this advice because Romney takes everybody seriously," the family friend said. "He thinks, 'Well, gee, I'm talking to businessman X or C or Y. They're really smart. That's something I need to factor into my thinking.' Tagg has been aggressive in saying: 'There's no more factoring stuff in. Your thinking is yours. Be who you are! And you've got to communicate that to people, and don't be embarrassed by it.'"
The eldest son has been around the campaign's Boston headquarters more often and keeps his own heavy schedule of media and campaign appearances. His involvement increased gradually in the two weeks before the debate, according to the insiders, after focusing on fundraising for much of the 2012 campaign.
"Unlike anybody else," the friend said, "Tagg will basically call people out when they have something stupid to say. Because he's the son, he's in a different position to be able to really question people's advice and question the decisions, but — more importantly — to drive them to make decisions, which is one of the problems in Romneyworld. They're slow to react, in part because of the campaign's organizational ambiguity. Tagg has helped resolve some of that."
A recent POLITICO story quoted an unnamed family friend as saying Tagg Romney would be working behind the scenes at being "more assertive in making the organization work better, cleaning up some of the organizational dysfunction."
But Tagg Romney said that's simply not the case. In fact, he said he hasn't been to a strategy meeting in more than a year, and the last time his father specifically solicited his advice on a campaign issue was in considering his selection of a running mate.
"It sounds like a great story, but it's not based in reality at all," he said of the suggestion that he'd be the one to broker peace between warring factions inside Romneyland.
"I've never approached anyone about wanting to play that role. No one has approached me," he said. "This is not spin, the team really gets along well. There's no internal squabbling or fighting for territory or turf."

News in Brief
Massachusetts Charter School Announces Contract With Teachers
The first teachers' union contract approved for one of Massachusetts' 57 charter schools that operate outside a local public school district will allow performance-based teacher pay and a longer school day.
The three-year contract for teachers at the Conservatory Lab Charter School in Boston was reached after negotiations with the state chapter of the American Federation of Teachers, the Massachusetts Charter Public School Association said last week.
The school is the first of 57 Commonwealth Charter Schools to approve a teachers' contract. Commonwealth Charter schools operate independently of local districts. The state also has a handful of Horace Mann Charter Schools, which operate with the approval of their local districts and their teachers' unions.

Then There's Only One ChoiceBy Wolfgang Borchert, translated by Dr. William T. Hathaway
The German author/playwright's work was deeply influenced by his service in the Wehrmacht, the unified armed forces of Nazi Germany.
(OLDENBURG, Germany) - This month marks the 70th anniversary of the death of Wolfgang Borchert, a young German writer who was seriously wounded in World War II then imprisoned for resistance activities.
Physically destroyed, he lived only two years after the war. During that time he wrote antiwar literature that is widely read in Germany but little known in the USA, where it is currently most needed.
His play about a traumatized veteran, DRAUSSEN VOR DER TÜR (THE MAN OUTSIDE), brought him literary fame after his death. "Dann gibt es nur eins!" ("Then There's Only One Choice") is the last poem he wrote before his death in 1947 at the age of 26.
It shows a perceptive foresight of the inevitability of global destruction unless the people of the world refuse to serve the military.
Then There's Only One Choice
You. Man at the machine in the factory. When they tell you tomorrow to stop making pots and pans and instead make helmets and machine guns, then there's only one choice: Say NO!
You. Woman in the store, woman in the office. When they tell you tomorrow to fill grenades and mount telescopic sights on sniper rifles, then there's only one choice: Say NO!
You. Factory owner. When they tell you tomorrow to make gun powder instead of baby powder, then there's only one choice: Say NO!
You. Researcher in the laboratory. When they tell you tomorrow to invent new ways to kill people, then there's only one choice: Say NO!
You. Songwriter in your studio. When they tell you tomorrow not to sing love songs but hate songs, then there's only one choice: Say NO!
You. Doctor in the clinic. When they tell you tomorrow to declare soldiers fit for combat, then there's only one choice: Say NO!
You. Minister in the pulpit. When they tell you tomorrow to bless murder and sanctify war, then there's only one choice: Say NO!
You. Captain of the freighter. When they tell you tomorrow to ship cannons and tanks instead of wheat, then there's only one choice: Say NO!
You. Pilot of the plane. When they tell you tomorrow to drop bombs on cities, then there's only one choice: Say NO!
You. Tailor in your shop. When they tell you tomorrow to make uniforms, then there's only one choice: Say NO!
You. Judge in robes. When they tell you tomorrow to serve on a court-martial, then there's only one choice: Say NO!
You. Railroad worker. When they tell you tomorrow to give the signal to send the troop and munition trains, then there's only one choice: Say NO!
You. Man in the country, man in the city. When they try to recruit you into the military, then there's only one choice: Say NO!
You. Mother in Normandy, mother in the Ukraine, you, mother in San Francisco and London, you, on the Yellow River and the Mississippi River, you, mother in Naples and Hamburg and Cairo and Oslo — mothers of all continents, mothers of the world, when they tell you tomorrow to raise children to be nurses for field hospitals and soldiers for new battles, then there's only one choice: Say NO! Mothers, say NO!
Because if you don't say NO, if YOU don't say no, mothers, then:
In the noisy steamy dusty port cities the great ships will groan into silence and float like cadavers of drowned mammoths, slapping sluggishly against the lonely docks while algae, seaweed and mussels grow on the once roaring gleaming hulls that now lie decomposing in a watery cemetery stinking of squishy decayed fish.
the streetcars will become dull senseless glass-eyed beetles lying crudely dented and peeling next to skeletons of tangled wires and rusted tracks, behind dilapidated sheds with holes in the roofs, in desolate, cratered streets —
a mud-gray, porridge-thick, leaden stillness will roll over everything, devouring, growing spreading over schools and colleges and theaters, over sport fields and playgrounds, gruesome and greedy, unstoppable —
the juicy sun-ripened grapes will rot on their broken arbors, the green rice will wither on the parched earth, the potatoes will freeze in the abandoned fields, and the cows will raise their death-stiffened legs like upside-down milking stools towards heaven —
in the research centers new medicines discovered by great doctors will turn to fungus and mold —
in the kitchens, dining rooms and cellars, in the cold-storage lockers and warehouses, the last sacks of flour, the last jars of strawberries, pumpkins and cherry juice will spoil — the bread under the overturned tables and smashed plates will turn green, and the rancid butter will reek, the grain will lie limp as a fallen army in the fields next to rusting plows, and the smokestacks of the pounding factories will fall and smash and crumble to be covered with eternal grass —
then the last person, with lacerated bowels and polluted lungs, answerless and alone under a poisonous glaring sun and wobbling sky, will stagger back and forth between gaping mass graves and massive concrete idols of the deserted cities, the last person, scrawny, cursing, accusing, insane — and his terrible cry: WHY? will die unheard, fading across the plains, whispering through the shattered ruins, brushing against the rubble of churches and bunkers, sinking into pools of blood, the last answerless animal cry of the last human animal —
all this will happen, tomorrow, maybe tomorrow, maybe tonight, maybe tonight, if — if — if YOU don't say NO!

William T. Hathaway is a Special Forces combat veteran now working to overthrow the empire he previously served. He is the author of Radical Peace: People Refusing War, which presents the true stories of activists who have moved beyond demonstrations and petitions into direct action, defying the government's laws and impeding its ability to kill. Noam Chomsky called it, "A book that captures such complexities and depths of human existence, even apart from the immediate message." His new book, Lila, the Revolutionary, is a fable for adults about an eight-year-old girl who sparks a world revolution for peace and social justice. Chapters are posted on www.amazon.com/dp/1897455844. A selection of his writing is available at www.peacewriter.org.

Thanks as usual to Chelsea at Roots and Rings for heading this up and Sarah at Simply Sarah for coming up with this week's questions!
1. Do you decorate for Valentine's day?
Currently, I have up a big wooden damask printed thingymawhosit (technical term) that says LOVE. PB, ever the romantic, came home, saw it and said "Love and all that crap is great, but that thing is blocking my surround sound speaker." That's the kind of Valentine's we generally have here. But I don't let that deter me, I also have up my heart-shaped garden flag up, and my black and red "welcome" sign on the door with lovely little hearts. I just love any excuse for holiday decorations.
2. Does your desktop have a picture or computer graphic? Is it organized?
It's not organized, but it just doesn't have a lot of stuff on it. Much like a cluttered inbox, a cluttered desktop just...stresses me out. And I do have a picture - it's a foggy path with a Bible verse, Hebrews 11:1. "Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see."
3. Do you use a paper planner, electric planner or no planner at all?
I have a paper planner, a calendar in my kitchen that I try to keep updated and I love love love the Cozi system. If you haven't tried it, get your butt over there. The best thing about it is that it allows you to keep other people updated (aka control their lives via text message.) When you put in an event, you can choose which members of your family it applies to, and then you can choose to send them text reminders about events. Plus, there's an iPhone app that syncs perfectly with it and is best of all, free right now!
4. Do you change purses or bags often or stick with a good thing?
I always think to myself "this thing is raggedy, this doesn't match my outfit, I really should switch purses." But then I don't. Until I get a new one like 6 months later. It's all related to the lazy.
5. What's your favorite YouTube Video?
This one is just amazing. It never gets old.
6. Do you use Turbo Tax or a real person to pay your taxes?
Umm considering I haven't made any money in oh, three years of law school, I really haven't had to worry much about that. But when I used to make money, I just did it myself with one of those free interwebz services.
7. How many states have you set foot (or tire) in? Which ones?
Goodness, this one was hard. Had to look at a map!
North Carolina (obvs), South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, Texas, Oklahoma, Arizona, Colorado, California, DC, Maryland, New Jersey, New York...and I think that's all?
8. How many countries have you been in? Which ones?
Nowhere super fancy or far away...just here, Mexico, Canada, the Bahamas, and Belize, I'm pretty sure.
9. How many pillows are in your house? (Sleeping or decorative)
Holy crap, I never realized how many pillows I had in my house until just now. Two on the couch, two on the loveseat, four on the guest bed, five on my bed, plus probably three extras in the closets? Oh and four throw pillows I don't use because I hate them and they came with the couches. So around 20?
10. How cold is too cold for flip flops?
I hate hate hate when my feet are cold. So definitely no flip flops below 65 degrees or so. And certainly not between October and March, barring some crazy situation like being in the tropics or something. Even if we have some kind of insane heat wave (which I really wish we were having), I really feel like wearing flip flops in the winter just makes you look like you're making fun of the weather.

Jacksonville AFL Fan Grabs Player And Stops A Kickoff Return
August 9, 2011 Leave a comment
C.J. Johnson of the Georgia Force waited for the ball to drop into his hands from the kickoff. Johnson caught the ball then caught two arms wrapped around him. Though it wasn't a player, it was a fan. A Jacksonville Sharks fan grabbed Johnson and then held him back against the wall so that Johnson couldn't move. The play was blown dead and the Sharks were penalized.
Sharks players then gave the fan high fives and praised him. The fans were on their feet cheering and clapping, it was a super bowl feel coming from an arena football play. As for the fan he would later be ejected but it was all worth it.
This Sharks fan now has a story that he can take home that's worth more then a souvenir, a foul ball, or bag of cotton candy. This fan took down a player and got away with way. He didn't have to run across the field and steal the ball from Brett Favre. Or run on the field and get slammed down by James Harrison. Or he didn't have to call out Ron Artest and start a brawl. No this fan will not be known as Steve Bartman or the Idiot or the knuckle head or that drunk guy from 4c, no he'll be know as the greatest fan ever who single handily stopped a kick off and got away with it.
Call it Drew League, call it WWE, or call it unacceptable but what this fan did was just plain awesome. He put Arena Football back on the map. I don't know about you but I one barely even knew that there was an Arena Football season going on right now but I had no idea that the Arena Bowl was this Friday. So congratulations Jacksonville Sharks fan you brought the Seattle Seahawks 12th man to life. Not only does this fan deserve a couple high fives from the players and a couple things of the wave from the fans, but he deserve another sideline seat to this Friday's Arena Bowl and maybe even a spot on their team. So congrats Sharks Fan rest up you have a big game ahead of you on Friday.

Fashion Must Have: Fancy Tees
Nothing is more important to your wardrobe like the basic extra soft tee-
Tshirts are just one more perk to Americas new found casual style. Leisure has become a chic way of life, and pairing an easy basic tshirt with a pair of dress pants, great skirt or perfect pair of jeans is the best way to make a simple yet sophisticated statement. I like this style must have because it allows for the other pieces to shine. Jewelry becomes more impactful and so does your bottom pieces and shoes. For spring and beyond, I recommend you invest is simplicity. Being basic is back!

Wear your tshirt to work day
Jazzing up a basic T
It is no surprise that my favorite piece is always something simple. I love to start each season by stocking up on plain jane basic tshirts, tanks, beaters, and thermals. Spring is no exception. I love wearing a basic tshirt that has triblend yarn interest with everything under the sun.
It is especially unique to pair a basic t with an embellished item, or something more dressy.
Three ways to wear the T
#1- Pair your tshirt with a full skirt- jazz this up with an embellished necklace or statement earring and always a lot of bracelets. Finish this with a strappy heel.
#2- Wear your tshirt under a blazer- dressing up a dress down is the best way to make a statement. Blazers are always stuffy workwear appropriate, but can breathe a new life with a fun and easy tshirt underneath. This look is easy for a color popped or embellished pump
#3 Dress Pant play down- putting on a pair of dress pants always sux. But, trying a printed straight ankle length pant with a easy tshirt is both appropriate and casual. Finish with your favorite flats

Cheese AND bacon? Ok, twist my arm! :) Pinning!!! Maybe I'll make this Sunday for the Superbowl! Thanks for sharing Shelli!ReplyDelete
ps: Did you use cheddar?
Sounds yummy! Anything with bacon gets my vote. Might be fun to make for Superbowl Sunday. Thanks for the recipe Shelli.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJanuary 29, 2013 at 8:06 AM
Love bacon with anything. Just to be sure is it 2-3 cups of mayo or 2/3 (two thirds) cup? Did you use sharp cheddar? Thanks, LisaReplyDelete
- AnonymousFebruary 1, 2013 at 8:00 AM
I've never made this before, but I was a caterer for 10 years, and I would suggest making this a day ahead to let the flavors meld. A mixture of cheeses might be nice, using sharp cheddar predominately. As far as the quantity of mayo... Add one cup at a time to get the desired consistency.ReplyDelete

As September rolled in, life got even more busy. Between new duties at work, new music to learn, a huge step in my nutrition business… it's been a pretty intense month. Thankfully, I got out to see a few great shows!
The 7th found me back at The Viper Room, for KrashKarma and Yachtley Crew. This combination of acts seems strange at first, but placing intense, hard driving, catchy hard rock next to the dulcet tones of Yachtley's spot-on renditions of the soundtrack of my youth was a sonic treat that covered all the tuning my soul needed.
Horrible shot of Yachtley Crew
When the next phase of intensity had passed, I made sure to get some full-blast metal medicine, courtesy of Malone's Concert Venue in Santa Ana. On the night of the 22nd, The House of Metal rang out loud with Ravenscroft, Doctors of Earth, Motor Gun Hotel, War Within, Kvltnblack and Void Vator. I usually wouldn't make such a long trek, but I really needed this night out!! Seeing my friends slay a slew of new tunes, finding new bands to follow, unexpectedly running into another great Friend of Local Rock – it was certainly worth the drive!
Doctors of Earth Ravenscroft
Void Vator
Thanks to a cancelled camping trip, I finally got to check out Orange Mayfield, at The Venice Beach Bar. They shared the bill with Detlene and Raised on TV, bringing a high energy night of well-crafted rock, with a generous side of seaspray.
Orange Mayfield
September slipped away on a festive note, in a Burbank back yard where Urban Yeti recording artists Receiver, Indigo Child and Yeghikian regaled the yard filled with BBQ-noshing friends, fam and fans. It was a beautiful finish to a glorious Sunday and an extremely eventful month!
Now, my focus shifts back to the grindstone – learning new music for a possible new project, launching a new nutrition program, growing my position at the day job along with creating a new fitness plan for myself… yeah, Rocktober is gonna be busy, but it's definitely gonna ROCK. I'll see you in the crowd.

Jen Delos Reyes was born in the city of Winnipeg, and educated first in its local music scene of the mid-90's infused with the energy of Riot grrrl and DIY, and then in its university. [1] How she works today is rooted in what she learned in her formative years as a show organizer, listener, creator of zines, and band member. Graduate work at the University of Regina made the space possible for her to see her work as an organizer as a key component of her continued creative work.
Jen Delos Reyes is a creative laborer, educator, writer, and radical community arts organizer. Her practice is as much about working with institutions as it is about creating and supporting sustainable artist-led culture. Delos Reyes worked within Portland State University from 2008-2014 to create the first flexible residency Art and Social Practice MFA program in the United States and devised the curriculum that focused on place, engagement, and dialogue. The flexible residency program allows for artists embedded in their communities to remain on site throughout their course of study.
She worked with the Portland Art Museum from 2009-14 to create a series of programs and integrated systems that allow artists to rethink what can happen in a museum, and reinvigorate the idea of the museum as a public space.
She is the director and founder of Open Engagement, an international annual conference on socially engaged art that has been active since 2007 and hosted conferences in two countries at locations including the Queens Museum in New York. She is working on I'm Going to Live the Life I Sing About in My Song: How Artists Make and Live Lives of Meaning, a book exploring the artist impetus toward art and everyday life.
Delos Reyes currently lives and works in Chicago, IL where she is the Associate Director of the School of Art and Art History at the University of Illinois Chicago.

After the whole world has been tweeting, I finally caught on to the twitter craze. I really have to thank my pal G or as he's known in my family as C for introducting me to the concept of Twittering.
Yet I digress, G can be a topic all by himself, which I promised him today during our (multiple) extended conversations. He's on deck for future posts. G is truly an interesting character.. No, I won't get started on him just yet.. Don't worry G, you will be honored with your own posting..
With Twitter you are limited to short notes that you twitter to the world. Now there's a video version called TweeTube. TweeTube is similar to YouTube in that people upload videos, yet the videos originate as a result of tweets by users! I love this concept.
With Twitter, what I like is that I can send out my random rants and raves quickly from my iPhone, so my word gets out there quickly. Especially when I need help in my technical issues related to my work.
So go and check out TweeTube… Site's been only up for a few weeks.. very promising.

I feel like an addict ... every day I hurriedly check my email for Daisy Chain updates. My only complaint is that the excerpts are too short. That's because I'm greedy. I get reading and don't want to stop. Great great great ... I can't wait for it to be launched. Comment via email from recipient of daily email extracts - Virma B., Ottawa, Canada
I like all the descriptive passages here which is just about every single line you wrote! You are good at so many things. This is terrific writing ... it really draws me. Thanks for sending.
Comment via email from recipient of daily email extracts - Lynn, California
You are a talented writer. In just the space of these brief extracts, you create an unsettling ambiance, real characters about whom we are at least curious, and you hook the reader. I can't wait to read the book and see if you sustain these effects consistently. I enjoy your style, particularly the way you parenthetically insert information. It creates an ostensibly relaxed atmosphere in contrast with an underlying tension.Comment from recipient of daily email extracts: Jeanne Mason, co-editor Trinidad Noir
I haven't read a novel in many years now as I've been following my urge to explore psycho/spiritual material. So this is the first novel I am experiencing in a long time and with only the first two extracts I'm delighting in the way the words and images play out and that it's from your stream of consciousness. Thanks for sharing!
Comment from recipient of daily email extracts: Vanessa Soodeen, Spain
If this book has a colour, it is yellow, like the sun, like the hearts of the daisies on the cover, like promises. If it has a mood, it is of longing, searching, of hopeful expectancy. The women here think, listen, wonder, seek, explore, embrace. Go at this smorgasbord at your own pace - savour each titbit as it is presented or gobble them up like I did, only to go back and sample again the ones that struck and need some careful chewing over.Review from award-winning writer Barbara Jenkins (Trinidad) who has read the whole book

A panel, a workshop, a project presentation, and more… They sure kept us busy at the Transmediale in Berlin.
Wed, Feb 2nd – Lost In Open?
We've learned a lot and got really warm feedback from the participants in all of the events. We were especially happy how fruitful was Wikipedia Illustrated in… ahm… illustrating the boundaries of free culture and what still needs to be worked on.
That was also the focus of the "Lost in Open?" panel that Mushon moderated and Galia participated in together with Henrik Moltke (Mozilla Drumbeat), Simona Levy (La-Ex) & Andrea Gotzke (Newthinking Communications). We were very happy with the panel and it seems like the audience also responded well to the proposition that after being entrenched for a decade in battles over free vs. non-free culture it might be time to ask what is the Free Culture movement actually proposing? And are we ready for the day after the revolution?
Right after the panel we were approached by Zachary McCune who interviewed us for "A New Day's Workâ€:
Inspired by the panel Zachary also proposed an interesting reading of the project name arguing it does not only stand for "contributing illustrations to Wikipedia" but also "illustrating Wikipedia's inner-working by challenging them through visual contribution".
Thu, Feb 3rd – Liveness
Unrelated to Wikipedia Illustrated Mushon also participated in the keynote panel on Liveness and gave his Getting Intimate with Invisible Audiences talk where he discusses intimacy in public space through two key examples—Chat Roulette and the Bible (!). Check the video here:
Sat, Feb 5th – Workshop + Talk
Saturday was the main deal. We had to rush out early from the morning panel The Right to Exit which featured some of our friends and a fascinating discussion. At 1pm we started the workshop.
8 participants joined us for the 6 hour workshop and posted their drafts on the blog: Nadia, John, Esra, Carey, Martina, Anne-Christin, Alma & Nicole. We started the workshop with a short (10mins) presentation of the project and our own backgrounds and then continued the introduction around the table. The participants were eager to discuss the theme of the project but we made sure that first we work, then we talk (this was the first lesson we learned from the workshop we held in Tel Aviv in January).
Each participant wrote a few keywords of themes they were interested in exploring visually and then found Wikipedia articles that corresponded with these themes. We discussed each keyword and the articles that corresponded and then went right to work.
At the end of the workshop we had 7 drafts posted to the site:
We even had one complete work which we uploaded to Wikipedia, Nicole's illustration for the article "Image":
Through the workshop many issues were raised:
- Can visual reference function as citation of a credible source?
- How can we share the visual research process?
- Can we standardize a color code as a symbolic toxonomy? Should we?
- Is vector graphics more collaborative than scan based illustration?
- How do we come up with an image we can agree on?
Many more questions were raised but we had to skip the break and run to the presentation.
At the end of the day we were exhausted but very inspired by the workshop outcomes and the overall enthusiasm.
We took another week to relax in Berlin, though we did also give another talk at Betahaus Open Design City and a radio interview with Andrea Gotzke's S*P*A*R*K.fm.
The future is bright for Wikipedia Illustrated with more illustrations, more workshops and new initiatives down the line. We invite the participants of the workshop to further develop their work towards the contribution to Wikipedia and to really see this as their own draft sketchbook.
Many thanks to the Transmediale team for their huge support and especially to Ela Kagel, Cara Bell-Jones and Stephen Kovats.

Stephen Colbert Has a Few Celebrity Poop Puns for Anderson Cooper
[There was a video here]
Anderson Cooper signed off CNN last night with a minute-long giggle fit caused by a poop joke he'd told about French actor/plane urinator Gérard Depardieu. To most, the video of Cooper's on-air breakdown made for some great morning entertainment. But it meant much more to Stephen Colbert, as you'll see in this segment from tonight's Report.

Prescription Anti-Depressants, Tranquillizers and Sleeping Tablets are regularly prescribed by doctors to treat anything from bereavement to postnatal depression. While there are many responsible and caring doctors out there, there are also many who overprescribe.
In my opinion, prescription medication should only be used as a very last resort, to treat depression, anxiety or insomnia which is severe and chronic, that is when the person's day-to-day functioning is badly affected and where the problem is not responsive to any other forms of treatment.

People willing and able to do necessary work should be allowed to earn a living wage. The capitalist system has traditionally set the cost of labor. Unfortunately, this is no longer happening. Crony capitalists exploit the cost of living to allow government to subsidize their profits.
A fictional scenario representing a real problem
Wolmark is a big business that uses large amounts of low skill workers only paying the current minimum wage and only giving employees 30 hours of work weekly to avoid providing benefits. That's legal. What shouldn't be legal is the government giving WIC and EBT to people who, depending on the size of their family, earn below a certain wage. Wolmark targets these people because they can intentionally pay them below the poverty line. This allows them to raise their profit while offloading their expenses onto taxpayers by using a government-subsidized workforce. Medicaid, WIC, and EBT are all padding the profit margins of a place like Wolmark because their workers earn more by getting minimum wage and government handouts than if Wolmark paid them enough to rise above the poverty threshold. Finally, to complete the cycle, they sell goods back to their own employees at a profit further cutting into their government subsidized wages. Wolmark cashes in from Uncle Sam on the front and back end.
There are many employers, and employees, who exploit the government assistance available to the poor. Government benefits can often account for more than a third of a minimum wage worker's salary. Minimum wage is already around $12.00 dollars per hour in this realistic scenario. When employers only pay a fraction the taxpayers cover the difference in Medicaid and EBT. Big business has every right to earn and spend as they please, but it is against the principles of capitalism for government to subsidize business indefinitely. I say that employers shouldn't be allowed to shift the burden of paying their workers onto the government and the country at large. Minimum wage is a complicated issue, but I believe it allows the basic dignity of self-reliance to people with few skills to sell. The alternatives are unpalatable and untenable. Charity will not suffice and will leave us further in debt. Cutting entitlements completely would leave too many in poverty. The current system of tax-payer subsidized wages needs to stop.

In the previous section, Thomas discussed the nature of the human intellect, and its division into the possible intellect, a kind of storehouse of things we've understood in the past, and the agent intellect, our capacity to actively bring these things to mind. Now he's moving on from this to the incorruptibility of the human soul. He says,
A necessary consequence of the foregoing doctrine is that the intellect whereby man understands is incorruptible.
By "incorruptible," Thomas means that the intellect cannot pass away, cannot die. Natural things are generated, they come to be, and they are corrupted, they pass away. They are born, and they die. The intellect does not. Thomas goes on to show this in several ways.
Every being acts in a way that is conformable to its existence. The intellect has an activity which it does not share with the body, as we have proved. This shows that it can act by itself. Hence it is a substance subsisting in its own being. But, as was pointed out above, intellectual substances are incorruptible. Accordingly the intellect whereby man understands is incorruptible.
As shown previously, the action of the intellect is immaterial; and since every being's action is conformable with its existence, the intellect's existence must be immaterial as well—it "subsists in its own being." That is, it's an intellectual substance, and such cannot die.
Again, the proper subject of generation and corruption is matter. Hence a thing is immune to corruption to the extent that it is free from matter. Things composed of matter and form are per se corruptible; material forms are corruptible indirectly (per accidens), though not per se. Immaterial forms, which are above material conditions, are wholly incorruptible. The intellect by its very nature is elevated completely beyond matter, as its activity shows: we do not understand anything unless we separate it from matter. Consequently the intellect is by nature incorruptible.
Looked at another way, to be corruptible is to be material. A material object is composed of matter and form; the form gives form to the matter. An oak tree is matter with the form of an oak tree. Oak trees can die; and thus, indirectly, the tree's form can die as well. Oak trees have no intellect, and no immaterial activity, and so the form must pass away with the matter.
But the intellect is an immaterial form, as it deals with forms as separated from matter and must be immaterial to do so.
Moreover, corruption cannot take place without contrariety; for nothing is corrupted except by its contrary. This is why the heavenly bodies, which do not admit of contrariety, are incorruptible. But all contrariety is far removed from the nature of the intellect, so much so that things which are contraries in themselves, are not contraries in the intellect. The intelligible aspect of contraries is one, inasmuch as one thing is understood in terms of another. Thus it is impossible for the intellect to be corruptible.
This last bit I had to think about for a while. "…nothing is corrupted except by its contrary." What on earth does that mean?
Two propositions, A and B, are contraries if they cannot both be true. An oak tree exists; it dies; it no longer exists. There is no longer an oak tree. Those two statements are certainly contrary: there is an oak tree here, there is not an oak tree here. But I still think there's something I'm missing about contraries and corruption.
But the point that Thomas is making about contraries is that although the propositions A and B cannot both be true in reality, and cannot coexist in fact, they can coexist perfectly well in my intellect. I am quite capable of holding both propositions in my mind at once—in fact, I must do so just to note that they are contraries. Thus, "contrariety is far removed from the nature of the intellect." And since corruption requires contrariety, the intellect cannot be corruptible.

Motorcycle Accidents and Insurance Companies
Our attorneys explain how the system works
After a serious motorcycle accident, insurance companies want you to think they're your friends. They want you to think they have your best interests at heart. That's why they're hoping you will accept their initial settlement offer for your claim.
Here's what they don't want you to know. They only care about one thing - making money. And the way they do that is by making a low-ball settlement offer that doesn't even come close to covering all your accident-related expenses.

A few blogs ago I had a bit of a rant about what I considered to be duff advice about how to create characters in novels, and wrote a skit called 'The DaDisney Code,' in an attempt to spread an internet ruimour that Dan Brown based his characters on the seven dwarves. Maybe it was a little silly, a little surreal. But it was just a bit of fun.
I have since found that I did not invent the connection, and would have known that if I had been a little more attentive in my reading of the Da Vinci Code.
Apparently there is a long passage which claims that Walt Disney subscribed to the ideas expressed in Da Vinci (i.e.that the church suppressed information about Mary Magdalene having a child by Jesus- sorry one person who hasn't seen/read it) and sprinkled his films with references to this belief.
Unlikely? Then why does this picture, the 'Penitent Magdalene' by seventeenth-century artist Georges de la Tour…
…appear in this one, from Disney's 'The Little Mermaid?'
Hmmm… makes you think doesn't it? But before we get carried away, it's good to remember what my old theology lecturer taught me about signs and symbols: signs have one-to-one correspondence to the thing they represent. Symbols mean different things to different people. It's a good job that road signs only have one interpretation- although I do sometimes wonder.
That particular lecturer could find 'Tree of Life' symbolism in almost any icon he was presented with, but never once referred to any phallic significance- perhaps that was because he was also a Methodist Minister.
Returning to 'The Little Mermaid,' there is a rumour that a symbol has been added by the artist to the picture below. Look closely at the tower…
Yes, it is for real. Rumour has it that it was added by an artist who found that he was about to lose his job with Disney. But Stopes, that debunker of Urban and internet myth, has tracked the guy down, and he says it was nothing of the sort and that no resemblance was intended.
Thanks, Stopes, for spoiling a great story. I really wanted to believe that. I bet they're hot on the trail of the guy who painted the Turin Shroud.
Or is it just another example of the tree of life?

Chuks Aneke won't be too far behind in the fitness stakes
Steve Davis, the Crewe Alexandra manager, says that his latest loan signing Chuks Aneke will 'not be too far the others' when it comes to his fitness levels after he was included in Arsenal's pre-season tour of Asia.
Steve told the club's official web-site: "It is good to have Chuks back with us. When he came on Saturday, he got a terrific reception from the supporters and he nearly found the forward players through with two or three great passes.
"He brings that quality into our game and he gave everyone a lift when he came on in the second half.
Steve added: "We will keep an eye on his fitness and keep on assessing that. He has played a few games for Arsenal in pre-season and trained with the first-team squad there, so he won't be far off. He shouldn't be that far behind them."

Tamayouz Excellence Award launches 2019 cycle of Women in Architecture and Construction Award
Tamayouz Excellence Award, a leading international awards programme with a focus on the Middle East, has launched its 2019 cycle of the Women in Architecture and Construction Award.
The seven-category initiative has also announced a number of other award cycles, including its International Graduation Projects Award, Iraqi Graduation Projects Award and the Mohamed Makiya Prize, while its Dewan Award for Architecture and its Rifat Chadirji Prize for Architecture will be announced shortly.
Split between a Rising Star Award and a Woman of Outstanding Achievement, the award is open to women from the Near East and North Africa (NENA) who are either employed in the NENA region and specialise in architecture and construction, or who are employed or living abroad but their contribution has had a direct impact on the built environment in the NENA region.
In 2018, the winners were Palestinian architect and author Suad Amiry, who won Woman of Outstanding Achievement, while Egyptian architect and academic Ebtissam Moustapha took home the Rising Star recognition. Fellow Palestinian architect Nadia Habash and Jordanian academic Deyala Tarawneh were highly commended.
"I never thought of being rewarded for what I do, as the work itself has been rewarding all along," said Amiry upon receiving her award. "But awards like Tamayouz are extremely important — they're like a candle shedding light on important issues such as the need to protect the cultural heritage and identity in Palestine.
"When you work on a small village in Palestine, you never think that someone sitting in another part of the globe would notice what you're doing. This recognition not only reassures me that what I did during my life was worthwhile, but it also encourages others and younger architects to follow suit."
The 2018 Tamayouz jury for the Women in Architecture and Construction Award included Professor Jala Makhzoumi, academic and researcher at the American University of Beirut; Anna Schabel, director of Wilton Studio Ltd in the UK; Mandy Franz, chartered architect and senior associate at MICA Architects in the UK; Kathy Basheva, a RIBA chartered architect and head of development and education at the National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC) in the UK; and Sarah Akigbogun, founder of Studio Aki London, architect, filmmaker, director of the film 'She Draws: She Builds' and vice chair of Women in Architecture UK.
"Architecture is not exactly an easy field for women to excel in, but they do," added Amiry. "In fact, 70 percent of Riwaq's architects happen to be women. The shortlist for the Tamayouz Award also made me aware of other women architects in the Arab world, and that by itself was rewarding."
Nominations for the Women in Architecture and Construction Award are open until 1 August, 2019. Submissions can be made through the award's online portal here.
Have you taken Middle East Architect's survey for women in architecture? If not, please take five minutes to complete the anonymous survey.

Future talks about his newly released "The Movie" mixtape, as well as working with Drake.
Future has steadily been growing his buzz over the past year, and it's looking like 2013 will be a big year for the auto-tune-loving rapper. He just released his mixtape highlighting his Free Band Gang crew members, The Movie, which he says in a recent interview with Karen Civil was just an appetizer. Hopefully it does the job as fans are still waiting on his double disc mixtape as well as his album Future Hendrix.
One of the singles that leaked early off The Movie was the Drake-assisted "For Real." Although the record was pretty standard for Future, it received some backlash on the blogosphere. While talking to Karen, she asks Future his thoughts on the negativity, however the ATLien says he wasn't even aware of any negative comments. "I ain't even know," Future responded, "I don't ever read comments, no blogs. I got people around me that do that all the time and they don't tell me 'cause they know I don't like to hear about it. That's where I'm here where I'm at right now, 'cause I never payed attention to what anybody else say, 'cause they only words, they only comments. I know the reasons I'm doing certain things, those are taste records."
This isn't the first time we've heard a collaboration between Drizzy and Future, and chances are we'll be hearing more in the future. However what are the chances we get an entire EP or mixtape-worth of songs from the two singing-rappers? "When we in the studio we be in the zone. Like me and dude be in a super zone, we be on the same page. He could turn on the beat and be like damn I was thinkin that. We find ways to build from it. It's just finding the time to try to make it happen, to squeeze it in there."
We'll have to wait and see if the duo ever find the time.
Check out Future's interview with Civil TV below.

Nov. 15, 2019
The Michigan Education Trust (MET) Board of Directors announced today that the state's prepaid college tuition program will reopen enrollment on Dec. 1, allowing those who buy a contract by the end of the year to qualify for a deduction on their Michigan tax return.
MET contract holders are eligible for a tax deduction on their Michigan tax returns for purchases or contributions made by Dec. 31 each year.
As it does every year, MET closed enrollment on Sept. 30 in order to review and adjust pricing. During that time, it did not sell new contracts.
The Section 529 prepaid tuition program also announced that its contract purchase prices will remain unchanged until May 1, 2020. On that date, prices will increase 3% for limited-benefits contracts and 5% for community college contracts. The cost of full-benefits contracts will stay the same.
That pricing structure will remain in effect through Sept. 30, 2020.
That means, for example, that until May 1, purchasers of Pay-As-You-Go contracts will continue to pay $612 for a credit hour of tuition under a full-benefits contract, which guarantees full payment of tuition and mandatory fees at any Michigan public university; $493 per credit hour under a limited-benefits contract, which covers up to 105 percent of the weighted average tuition of Michigan's public four-year universities; and $119 per credit hour for a community college contract.
MET also sells contracts through lump-sum and monthly purchase plans that require minimum purchases of a semester's worth of tuition.
The MET board cited rising fees charged by colleges as the reason for the community college and limited-benefits contract price increases.
MET, which is administered by the Michigan Department of Treasury, is a Section 529 prepaid college tuition plan that locks future tuition at any of the state's public universities and colleges at today's rates. MET benefits are used to pay tuition and mandatory fees.
More information about MET is available at SETwithMET.com or 800-MET-4-KID.

I went into school Monday and Tuesday to set up since Wednesday to Friday were teacher days and I'd be in meetings and PD for most of the time. We also had parents coming in to drop off school supplies Friday morning and knew that 2-4 hours on Wednesday and Thursday would NOT be enough time to set up the room!
I kept mysel busy Monday and Tuesday scrubbing the walls because they were so filthy the white walls looked a blackish colour and were covered in blu-tack. And I don't know what was wrong with the blu-tack because usually it comes off easily when you rub over it with another piece of blu-tack but all it did was smudge! So I spent quite a bit of the 2 days on my tippy toes of the top step of a step ladder trying to clean off smudgy blu-tack! I collected 3 tennis ball sized balls of blu-tack and my back ached from being down on the floor cleaning the lower walls!
Here are some before pictures. This is what my room looked like Tuesday afternoon after I'd spent two days cleaning walls and removing blu-tack.
I've mentioned my weird shaped room before. This is the actual shape of it!
I've removed the rest of the craziness that was my week.
How did your classroom preparation go this week?

Wolverine a Reader's Perspective Part 16
Art by John Byrne
Chronological Wolverine facts as revealed to the reader part 16
Continuing our journey to understand the Wolverine character as was revealed to the reader issue to issue, month to month through his publication history. So from a reader's perspective here is Logan's history, who he was, and how and when we learned it!
Writer: Chris Claremont
Penciller: John Romita Jr.
The X-Men celebrate Nightcrawler's birthday and apparently Logan likes to eat Turkey legs and doesn't like to sing.
Nightcrawler is seemingly killed when he opens a mysterious gift. Even Wolverine's heightened senses cannot detect a heartbeat.
Nightcrawler wasn't actually killed but was the victim of a mystic attack that separated his body and soul by sorcery as revealed by Dr. Strange. The X-Men are transported magically to a replica of Dante's Inferno to battle for the fuzzy elf's soul.
Storm is transmuted into a demon, Wolverine using his senses and knows the real Storm despite appearances.
Wolverine is no stranger to the Grim Reaper. Whether that is because he has been close to dying many times or because he has acted as an agent of Death sending many her way is unknown.
Wolverine is the one who officially recognizes Kitty Pryde as an X-Man.

The very first look at Wolverine's new costume the brown and tan, my personal favorite. It makes sense too because it is similar to the coat pattern of his namesake a real Wolverine.
Nightcrawler collides with Angel during a Danger Room sequence because Angel has not trained in awhile and is rusty. Nightcrawler, stunned, falls towards a pit of fire, but Wolverine quickly improvises a rescue using a wall panel he cuts out of omnium steel.
Wolverine is now a team player with the betterment of the team in mind. Former sour-puss Wolverine doesn't do lemonade.
We learn that when Wolverine was a special agent for the Canadian government it was as a member of their Secret Service.
Wolverine and Nightcrawler head to Ottawa, Canada and home of James MacDonald Hudson the Vindicator and his wife Heather Hudson. James and Heather had taken Logan in and given him a home when he was a "feral wild-child"*. Nightcrawler hears Wolverine's real name Logan for the first time and is the first X-Man to learn his name.
*See Uncanny X-Men 121 in Wolverine a Reader's Perspective Part 10 -NLogan
Wolverine considers the X-Men true friends and James and Heather were the only ones he had before them.
Wolverine and Nightcrawler head to the north country to see if they can help against the danger that is menacing the Canadian wilderness with Alpha Flight. Wolverine has skills in tracking. He recognizes the print of the Wendigo. We learn that his mission to repulse the Hulk from Canada was his first mission for Department H and his only failure.
We learn that during his fight with Hulk and Wendigo Wolverine became maddened with battle lust consumed by a berserker rage.
Wolverine traveled extensively outside of Canada as a secret service operative for the Canadian intelligence group Department H.

Wolverine is briefly seen in a cameo appearance in the danger room during a phone call to Xavier. It is a continuity insert albeit a minor one. Wolverine changed his costume to the brown and tan uniform one month prior. Because he is shown here in his yellow and blue striped costume it must take place prior to Uncanny X-Men 139, probably directly following King-Size Annual X-Men 4.
Dec 1980
Writers: Chris Claremont and John Byrne

Angel, despite being welcomed back to the X-Men by Wolverine with an offer of helping him train together as a team, is opposed to Wolverine being a member. Professor Xavier considers Logan a good man and sees extraordinary potential in him. He views Wolverine as a future leader of the team.
Nightcrawler considers Wolverine's tracking skills formidable and about on par with the Wendigo's ability.
Wolverine researches his enemies.
Wolverine was found in the Canadian Rockies by the Hudsons. At the time he was sick, starving, frozen, and close to death, his healing factor must have been severely overtaxed. They loved him and he them. Wolverine considers himself a dangerous man to whom fighting is second nature. However he values a fair fight and because he has been turned into a killing machine with adamantium claws and skeleton he thinks that is impossible now. If you ever wondered what Logan looked like without sideburns well this is it. The first time ever shown clean shaven with a tie no less.
Wolverine accomplished all of the brutal and dirty but necessary assignments as a secret service special agent. It says he never forgave them for what they did to him (at this point we know they have invested considerable time and money training and developing him as a living weapon, does this infer to his adamantium bionic hardware? Or is this just referring to the type of solitary dangerous missions he was ordered to fulfill? He resents being made to kill (implied) for the government.
Early in Wolverine's life he learned to recognize the scent of death, and to differentiate between a living person and a dead one.
One of the legal definitions of Mayhem is to permanently deprive a combatant of a body part such as puting out an eye, cutting off an ear or nose, or permanently disabling or severing a limb. Mayhem is definitely Wolverine's game and he has the tools to do it with considering his razor sharp adamatium claws. Wolverine can feel a berserker rage building and can choose whether or not to suppress it. While in a berserker rage Wolverine's endurance allows him to perform at peak ability denying pain, fatigue, and everything else except the will to win overwhelming his opponents with a fury of combat moves compressed into a short time frame.
The fury of Wolverine's berserker rage is enough to temporarily stun and stop even invulnerable foes like the Wendigo. Wolverine's berserker rages are fueled by adrenaline, and when they fade fatigue sets in.
Wolverine can survive blows that would be instantly fatal to most and can absorb frightening amounts of punishment.
The narrator compares Logan's indomitable will and ferocity as the closest thing to the ferocity of his namesake. Snowbird upon transforming assumes the persona of whatever creature she becomes and if consumed by blood-lust can pose a threat as dangerous as that of the Wendigo to her friends.
Wolverine, using his affinity and ability to communicate with predators* is able to reach Snowbird's intellect by talking to her. Wolverine knows how Snowbird feels, Wolverine himself has faced the worst parts of himself and triumphed.
*See Wolverine a Reader's Perspective Part 8 where Wolverine communicates with Zabu a Sabre-toothed Tiger in Uncanny X-Men 116 -NLogan
Wolverine bore his soul to Snowbird, perhaps the first time he has to anyone. Possibly because he had found in her a kindred spirit in the moment. It has left a lasting impression on both of them.
Wolverine has killed as both a war-time soldier and secret agent. The only wars Canada was involved in for the last century at the time this was printed was the Korean War 1950-1953, World War II 1939-1945, the Russian Civil War 1918-1920, World War I 1914-1918, and the Second Boer War 1899-1902. Canada did not fight in the Vietnam War. We do not know which war Logan is referring to or have any indication of how old he is yet. Wolverine is skilled at combat and possibly assassination or at any rate killing. He has medals and commendations from his service. Wolverine has his own code of ethics when it comes to combat and generally meets force with force and only escalates when necessary, he considers killing self defense. Even when forced to kill for the government that he regrets and does not forgive them for, it still falls under his code of ethics as forcing his hand threatening the people he is protecting (in this case Canadian citizens). The time he killed the guard in the Savage Land* also falls in this category as the X-Men who were captured were about to be sacrificed as Wolverine, Storm, and Nightcrawler raced to save them.

My "Seen This Scene That" has reached the one-year-old milestone today. I shall pause for a mini celebration.
I read the post that I wrote a year ago:
"I am experimenting with SeenThisSceneThat, the name of my new blog.and am amazed that this experiment to write about something that I am passionate about is still alive today.
I hope to put words to keyboard and discover more to life than a fast-paced cosmopolitan existence. I will look for the unusual, the atypical or the off-beat in the common spaces that I see around me. All observations however insignificant or minor that's worth highlighting according to these themes will be used.
There's plenty to see and do around us. There's even more to appreciate in life beyond the hustle and bustle of living in the Lion City. I feel there should be time to slow down, smell the flowers, listen to waves lapping at a beach. In this time-compressed must-be-number-one-in-everything island known as Singapore Inc, such consideration is often a rarity.
Through blogging SeenThisSceneThat, I aim to reduce the gear by a notch or two. I will value the experience as I journey through life. Or else, time will slip by and the opportunity lost forever.
I will enjoy the scenery. As much as I can. As I hope you will too."
Did I "discover more to life than a fast-paced cosmopolitan existence"?
Did I "slow down, smell the flowers, listen to waves lapping at a beach"?
Did I "value the experience as I journey through life"?
To all those questions, my answers are: YES!
I've enjoyed the scenery and the sharing of what I've seen with all of you.
With your support, I hope to continue the experiment for a while longer.
Thank you, friends, readers and fellow citizens of the world.

Rap Dose picks the best Hip Hop songs of 2014
It was an interesting year for Hip Hop. New stars were being made on the regular. We saw the rise and fall of artists at an alarming rate. Songs got called fire on social timelines on the daily, to only be forgotten about days later by hipster bloggers and so-called journalists that do this for free Beats By Dre headphones and alcoholic beverages. We here at Rap Dose aren't those people. If we say we like something, it's because we actually like it. We aren't afraid to call a spade a spade, and we aren't afraid to call trash – trash. There was a lot of trash released in 2014…but there were a lot of great songs as well. That's why we compiled a list of the best songs of 2014.
Dive into the fiery pits of our list on the next page. Oh, it's lit.

This guest blog is brought to you by Gemma Pirnie, Founder, Your New Crew
Story of a start-up company: How IAD is helping one entrepreneur to build a company that will benefit graduates, postgraduates and young professionals.
I am really excited to be offered the chance to contribute to the IAD blog. It is a great opportunity to discuss both how my business supports graduates and also how IAD have supported me in the development of my business. I also want to tell you about how you can get involved with one of my business's first events, supporting work-life balance amongst graduates, post-graduates and young professionals.
At the end of 2012 I had already built on my business idea when I pitched to join LAUNCH.ed at Edinburgh University. With LAUNCH.ed's help I have built my company, Your New Crew, to its current stage and crucially, through LAUNCH.ed, I was able to join IAD's Acceleration Pipeline Workshop Series. With IAD's help I have improved my pitching skills, learned how to define my company's competitive edge and got some great advice on who to look for when it comes to building my team. However, and perhaps most importantly, I have gained a huge amount of confidence both in myself as a business person and in my company Your New Crew.
I created my company, Your New Crew, on the premise that loneliness and isolation amongst graduates/postgraduates/young professionals who relocate for work is a major social issue. I also conducted research into how work-life balance amongst the above groups can affect employers' ability to recruit and retain their newest members of staff. The results of my research confirmed my hypothesis that a service which could help both employees and employers with their relocation issues was required. One of the major findings of my research was the difference in attitudes to work-life balance of the recruiting generation (Baby Boomers) and those they are hiring (Gen Y) and the subsequent discord this can create in the workplace. In short it seems that by offering their relocating employees help to create a social life/work-life balance employers will help themselves to recruit the brightest and the best from generation Y.
Your New Crew, organises events (such as dinners at restaurants) for up to ten graduates/postgraduates/young professionals where they can go along, meet new people and simultaneously get to know their new city. Memberships of Your New Crew can either be purchased by individuals or can be purchased by graduate employers for their new recruits as part of their starting package. If you are interested in trying out the service or if you are looking for a good night out where you can meet new people then I am organising some soft-launch events in Edinburgh and Glasgow, the first of which will be Wed 27th March at Mum's Comfort Food (Forrest Rd, Edinburgh), 7pm, £11.95 for two courses, for more info or to book please email email@example.com

Fish and Wildlife Service Proposes Threatened Listing for Santa Ana Sucker
Two fish conservation organizations and their lawyers announced today that the federal government has proposed listing the Santa Ana sucker fish as threatened under the federal Endangered Species Act. The sucker, once common throughout the Los Angeles basin, has dwindled significantly in numbers owing to loss of habitat to development and water diversions. Small populations survive in the headwaters of the San Gabriel River in the Angeles National Forest, Big Tujunga Creek, and the Santa Ana River. A small, introduced population inhabits the Santa Clara River.
The Fish and Wildlife Service will publish its final decision by January 15, 2000, after a public comment period.
Listing could lead to limitations on destruction of fish habitat along the Tujunga Wash of the Los Angeles River and along the San Gabriel River on both private lands and in Angeles National Forest. The listing could also affect the renewal of the licenses for hydroelectric facilities on the Santa Ana River.
"We're glad the federal government has recommended protection for portions of Southern California's aquatic ecosystem," said Claudia Polsky, Earthjustice Legal Defense Fund attorney. "This species can be rescued with enough effort. At least now the Santa Ana sucker has made it to the emergency room."
The announcement comes as the result of a lawsuit brought by Earthjustice Legal Defense Fund on behalf of California Trout and the California-Nevada Chapter of the American Fisheries Society, which sought to force the agency to act on a petition submitted to it in 1994 seeking the listing of the species. In 1997 the Service announced that listing the sucker was "warranted but precluded." In other words, the fish is in serious trouble and deserves protection but would not get it because the agency doesn't have enough money to protect all deserving species and other species are in more immediate danger.
"This is the last Southern California native freshwater fish species that is not extinct or already listed," said Camm Swift, past president of the California-Nevada Chapter of the American Fisheries Society. "Southern California's riparian habitat has been pushed to the limit and could collapse altogether. The sucker and future generations of Californians will both benefit from the habitat protections a federal listing can provide."
Jim Edmondson of CalTrout added, "My concern is, if our native fish are being listed under the Endangered Species Act, is it safe to drink the water?"

Last summer I took my son to nearly every minor league ballpark in our home state of Virginia. I called it "The Summer of Baseball", and published some of my photos on this blog. I ended up writing an article about it for Camperways magazine, which runs destination features for fans of RV travel. At the time we had seven teams active in the area.
Since then, the Atlanta Braves have announced that they will be moving their AAA affiliate from Richmond to the Atlanta suburbs, and the Rookie level Pulaski facility, which had its Blue Jays affiliation yanked before I could visit, is now back in the game as the lowest level of the Mariners organization.
The article was published tabloid-style, so I had trouble scanning single pages – hope you can stand to read the giant .jpgs I made instead.
I love going to games, and I love to write about it, but I don't know jack about making readable internet files.
