Happy Birthday Marcus!
IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE, but the incomparable Marcus Miller just turned 50. I was lucky enough to score an invite to his big LA bash, and it was an experience I'll never forget. Hosted at Hollywood's intimate Catalina Jazz Club, us lucky attendees we're treated to a loose evening of fun and music, all delivered with a healthy dose of Miller's inimitably cool vibe. After thoroughly indulging in the killer buffet and open bar, everyone sat when Marcus and his crack band took the stage with Stevie Wonder's "Higher Ground." As the night rolled on, illustrious audience members made their way to the stage for a host of world-class jams. My highlights: George Duke bringing the funk to Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata," and, in what was one of the coolest musical events of my life, seeing Herbie Hancock play the hippest "Happy Birthday" the world has ever seen.

Egypt unveils first cabinet since Morsi ouster
Issued on: Modified:
Egypt's interim President Adli Mansour swore in the country's first government Tuesday after the ouster of Islamist president Mohammed Morsi. State TV showed the ministers taking the oath in the presence of caretaker Prime Minister Hazem el-Beblawi.
Egypt's interim President Adli Mansour has sworn in a new cabinet, the first since Islamist president Mohammed Morsi was ousted by the military nearly two weeks ago.
The new government, sworn in live on state television on Tuesday, is led by Prime Minister Hazem el-Beblawi, an economist, and features the promotion of Defence Minister General Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi, who ousted Morsi on July 3, to deputy prime minister. He also retains the defence portfolio.
The appointment of al-Sisi is likely to reinforce the argument of those critical of the new government, FRANCE 24 Cairo correspondent Ashraf Khalil said on Tuesday.
"One of the main points among the international community is whether the overthrow of Morsi was a coup or whether it was a revolution," he said.
"Appointing a serving military man to the post of deputy prime minister is going to enforce the perception that this entire process is backed by the military."
One member of Morsi's government – Interior Minister Mohammed Ibrahim – remains in his post.
Nabil Fahmy, who was Egypt's ambassador to the US from 1999-2008, becomes foreign minister.
Underlining the relatively liberal outlook of the new government, Mansour also named three women to the cabinet – which has 33 members in total – taking the powerful ministries of information and health as well as the environment ministry.
Most past governments for decades have had at most two women in them.
In a first, Mansour also swore in an icon of Egyptian football as youth minister. Midfielder Taher Abu Zeid starred in Cairo's el-Ahly club and the national side in the 1980s.
Brotherhood defiant
The cabinet does not include any figures from Islamist parties. The interim president's spokesman had said posts would be offered to Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood, but the group refused, saying it would not participate in the military-backed political process.
Supporters of the ousted Islamist government have vowed to continue demonstrations against what they call a coup d'état. "The Brotherhood is acting with complete defiance, complete rejection," Khalil said.
The swearing-in of the new government came just hours after clashes between police and Islamist supporters of Morsi left seven protesters dead in the worst outbreak of violence in a week.
The overnight riots broke out soon after the most senior US official to visit Egypt since Morsi was toppled concluded a round of talks with the country's interim leaders, in which he called for the Brotherhood to be included in the political process.

Charge of "Sedition" against RKOB Spokesperson and Palestine Solidarity Activist Johannes Wiener is a Pretext for Attack on Freedom of Expression
Statement of the RKOB, Austrian section of the Revolutionary Communist International Tendency, (RCIT), 20.12.2012
As we reported, the 20-year old RKOB spokesman and Palestine solidarity activist Johannes Wiener has been charged of "sedition" because of his pro-Palestinian speech at a Gaza demonstration on 16.11.2012 in Austria. (1) In case he gets convicted by court, our comrade Johannes Wiener is threatened with up to two years in jail. We have now been informed about the exact content of the charge against Johannes Wiener.
Who is behind the charge? The charge of "sedition" has been issued by the Israelite Cultus Community (IKG). In addition they initiated together with well-known pro-Zionist groups a coordinated lobbying campaign whereby the President, the Chancellor and the Home Secretary were targeted with countless emails with an appeal that the state apparatus finally intervenes against RKOB spokesman Johannes Wiener.
The coordinated campaign of these pro-Zionist circles against our comrade Johannes Wiener is no coincidence. The Israelite Cultus Community and their warmonger friends have organized – during the Gaza war – a rally in Vienna on 21.11.2012. This rally was called "Solidarity with Israel - Free Gaza from Hamas" at which the participants cheered the Israeli bombing of and the blockade against the Gaza.
What is the exact content of the charge of "Sedition"?
The charge against Johannes Wiener is an attempt of the pro-Israeli warmongers to criminalize anything that can be interpreted as an open partisanship for the Palestinian resistance. Concretely, Israelite Cultus Community sees "sedition" in the following statements of Johannes Wiener in his speech at the Palestine Solidarity rally on 16.11.2012:
* The repeated chanting of the slogan "INTIFADA" as well as the expression of support for the Intifada of the Palestinian people.
* The expression of support for the Palestinian resistance against the Israeli state, both in its unarmed and its armed form.
* The call for the destruction ("extinction") of the State of Israel and for the existence of a single state in all of Palestine from the River to the Sea.
The real meaning of this charge is that this a fundamental attack on the basic democratic rights of freedom of expression! Would the Israelite Cultus Community succeed with this in the court and get Johannes Wiener and his positions sentenced, it would mean that pro-Palestinian activists in Austria have less freedom of expression than Jewish-Israeli activists in Israel itself who are in solidarity with the Palestinian resistance!
Our decades-long tradition of Anti-Imperialism in Word and Deed
The RKOB and its predecessor organizations have never made any secret of their positions. Since the beginning of our existence in the 1980s, we called for the unconditional support of the Palestinian resistance – armed and unarmed – and we defended the Intifada. (2) We have always rejected terrorist attacks on civilians. (3) We have called for the destruction of the Apartheid state Israel and for its replacement by a single socialist state in all of Palestine, which would allow the return of the 7.5 million Palestinian refugees, and in which Arabs and Jews could live on an equal basis. (4) We always combined this with a sharp rejection of any form of anti-Semitism – a position which we proved in practice by our participation in numerous anti-fascist and anti-racist actions. (5)
During the U.S. occupation wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and the Israeli terrorist war against Hezbollah in Lebanon in 2006 and against the Gaza 2008/10, and in November 2012, we called for the following positions on the basis of our communist, anti-imperialist program: (6)
* For unconditional support for the liberation struggles of the oppressed peoples!
* For the defeat of the imperialist troops and an end to occupation!
* For the military victory of the resistance movements, but no support for the program of the bourgeois or petty-bourgeois movements at the head of the resistance!
* For a socialist perspective of the workers and peasants power in the oppressed countries!
* For the destruction of Israel and its replacement with a single socialist state from the river to the sea, in which Palestinians and Jews live together on an equal basis!
We advocated these positions via militant contingents and speeches on numerous demonstrations, at many public meetings as well as in our publications. Our program and our positions are not a secret, but have always been public and transparent for everyone. (7)
Our organization has proven for more than two decades that it is anti-imperialist in word and deed. We are proud of this. For that we are hated by the friends of the American and Israeli war on terror. For that they have dragged our comrade Michael Pröbsting to the court and slandered him in 2006. For that they now want to drag our comrade Johannes Wiener to the court and – if they succeed – send him to jail.
International Solidarity Movement against Zionism – including in Israel
The socialist solidarity with the Palestinian resistance and the rejection of the Apartheid state of Israel has a long history and represents a broad international movement. This movement exists in many countries. It is independent of skin color, nationality or religious affiliation. It finds expression in the fact that already within a few days, a number of socialist organizations from Israel, South Africa, Latin America, Libya, Syria, the USA, Western Europe, New Zealand etc have expressed their solidarity with our comrades Johannes Wiener. (8)
This solidarity with the Palestinian resistance and the rejection of the Apartheid state Israel finds also support by an undoubtedly small minority within Israel. We have published on our website messages from Jewish-Israeli activists in solidarity with Johannes Wiener. (9) These Jewish activists in Israel advocate a Palestinian workers' state from the river to the sea. (10)
The attack by the Israelite Cultus Community, the pro-Israeli war mongers and the right-wing rabble-rouser (including a brothel owner) must be stopped!
The Israelite Cultus Community wants to destroy a right which has been exercised for decades: until now, socialist activists could freely express their solidarity with the Palestinian resistance publicly. Equally they could call for the abolition of the Apartheid state Israel. If the Israelite Cultus Community succeeds with its attempt to sentence Johannes Wiener, this will no longer be possible.
* The Israelite Cultus Community wants to ban public support for the Intifada at demonstrations in Austria.
* The Israelite Cultus Community wants to ban the expression of solidarity with the Palestinian resistance in its unarmed and armed form in speeches at demonstrations in Austria.
* And the Israelite Cultus Community wants to prohibit the advocacy of the abolition of the Apartheid state Israel and its replacement by a single socialist state in all of Palestine.
This is not surprising. In fact the Israelite Cultus Community acts currently as a henchman of the Apartheid state Israel. They organize rallies to cheer the Israeli bombing and the hunger blockade against the Palestinian people in Gaza.
But their state is in a crisis. As the Israeli Marxist Yossi Schwartz emphasize in an upcoming interview on our website, Israel hast lost its last four wars. They had to withdraw from Lebanon in 2000, they lost the war against Hezbollah in 2006 and they failed to smash the Palestinian Resistance and Hamas in Gaza in 2008/09 and in November 2012. The Arab Revolution since 2011 has removed a number of dictatorships which loyally served US and EU imperialism and guaranteed a stable regional order from which Israel profited.
Against the background of this crisis, the ruling class in Israel increasingly panics. The permanent threats of war against Iran are an expression of this. The attempt of the Israelite Cultus Community to silence pro-Palestinian solidarity activists in Austria is another expression of the increasing panic amongst the Zionist circles.
It is not surprising that the Israelite Cultus Community finds support amongst the right-wing, racist forces. HC Strache, the leader of the main extreme right-wing opposition party, immediately declared his solidarity with Israel when the Gaza war started. (11) Equally various right-wing, racists, pro-Zionist Internet blogs welcome the charge against Johannes Wiener. The Israelite Cultus Community finds a characteristic public supporter in the person of Mister Erich Reder, who is – according to many reports in the Internet – a well-known brothel owner and a tax evading political buffoon who shows uninhibited rants of hate against "nigger", "Green and left-wing fascists", "criminal Asylum seekers" and now also against Johannes Wiener and the RKOB. (12)
Strengthened by such "moral authorities", the Israelite Cultus Community wages a war against us in order to silence Johannes Wiener and pro-Palestine solidarity activists.
No Pasaran!
We demand:
Drop immediately the charges against the pro-Palestine activist Johannes Wiener!
No Criminalization of the Solidarity with the Palestinian Resistance!

It's Okay To Have Long Hair Long After Middle Age
Sometimes a baby is born not just with a full head of hair
but perfectly styled too. In fact, many popular hairstyles
throughout time were introduced to the world in this manner:
the Pompadour, the Beehive, the Chelsea-cut, and the Duck's Ass
all originated in utero, but most of the time babies are born
with little or no hair and spend their lives fretting about the fact
to some degree. Premature baldness in males and females
is actually a sign of evolution. Also, sometime in the not-so-distant
future, everyone will be able to have hair anywhere they like
thanks to advances in technology and tomfoolery.
Bolts of blond lightning, blue afro mohawks, leopard spots, zebra stripes
multi-colored pencil-troll coifs on shoulders, smalls of back—
it's going to be a goddamned frigging Dr. Seuss movie 24-7-365
once that bridge is crossed, so no, do not feel bad about wearing your hair long
long after middle age, it's not like anyone knows what's best anyway,
even your parents. Especially your parents. Remember when
your mother would yell at you to Put down the cupcake!
You'll ruin your appetite! But you didn't put down the cupcake
or you did, but you snuck it back out of the garbage minutes later—
did that spoil your appetite? Absolutely not.
Even eating garbage did not spoil your oft-considered appetite.
You ate the corn, the mac-n-cheese, and the ham steak in rapid succession
all the while thinking, Liars. But it got your muster up
to finally tell her you wanted to grow your hair out long
and she lied to you again, said long hair causes boys to lose theirs
faster than a decomposing skull and you were frightened
for your head until you realized she also said you were allergic
not just to nuts, but marijuana and parachute pants.
Sort of overdid it there, but you understood she was only looking out for you
and you inherited this from your mother also—her good will
in addition to her good hair, and now, when you walk past
the barbershop you feel terrible. Not terrible like when security
at the airport began parting your ponytail and you audibly said, Hairbomb
and got detained, but still…the barber standing in there alone.
Waiting like the newspaper. Today you decide to walk in, and he looks at you
like he's a famous starving artist out of his mind on glue
and you're a huge blank canvass with arms and legs and hair and a six-pack
of paint in each hand. It's palpable, oh yeah. You can see the black combs
trilling in their blue water, little comb-hands cupped to the glass
of the canister trying to see if you are real. You're more than real.
You are a middle-aged gentleman with long hair in a barbershop
and it's time to do what you've come here to do. What did you come here to do?
Spread love. Not be afraid to go anywhere, do anything.
See things from every side and come out unscathed, or, if scathed,
in a way both beautiful and mutual. What can I do for you today?
says the barber. Just a shave, you reply. And without another word
he cracks his towel, wipes down the single chair in the middle of the room
and gestures for you to take a seat.
I don't recall Uziel Gal or Gandhi,
Kalashnikov or Kennedy, Neil Armstrong on the moon.
When I picture a man,
I hear James Brown with his Fabulous Flames
pleading, "Please, please, please,"
over a montage of 63-year-old Edward Smith making urgent love
to 700 cars, several helicopters
and one woman in his life.
If you asked me, What's it like to be a man?
I'd cue up the YouTube video of Creepy Guy and Vacuum.
Without the thigh-high stockings, matching coral bra and panties,
he looks bookish, like a poet—beard, balding, bespectacled,
a little paunch—everyman, he's one of us,
except here he is in lingerie
talking rapey to a Shop-Vac with a smiley face painted on it
taking its sucking snout
raking it over his crotch
frozen in mid-thrust
until, laughter fading into disgust,
we watch it one last time.
There's also the ubiquitous unseen picture of a man
standing alone atop a bloody hill of dead or dying soldiers,
just a pair of shredded camo pants below his bare chest
slick and tan as an axe handle,
fallen comrade's spent machine gun cooling in his hands
but that seems less and less like it ever happened now.
Now that black and white photo
of the two old old dudes naked on the pier? One staring
out into the horizon waiting for his ship to come
sinking in, while the other man lays down in his lap and takes him
dutifully in his mouth?
That's happening right now.
I bet he's thinking, Judas did his job.
I bet he's thinking, Superman or Schopenhauer
would have held the ball for Charlie Brown.
I bet he's thinking, Man.

Our sample prices are based on flights into Porto, but flights are also available to Lisbon. Though further away, Lisbon may be better suited to multi-centre holidays that begin further south. The drive from the airport in Porto to the hotel takes approximately 1 hour 20 minutes.
Free Spa access
Expressions Holidays includes scheduled flights from Gatwick to Francisco Sa Carneiro Airport in Porto with British Airways, and Group C car hire.
Sample prices are per person based on two people sharing a Quinta Superior Room.From £1490 per person with accommodation on a bed and breakfast basis for 7 nights.The prices displayed here are a guide only for this hotel and each holiday price will be tailor-made at the time of booking to reflect the actual flight costs and all up-to-date special offers.
This enchanting hotel in Portugal is well-suited to both long and short stays in the countryside, perhaps as part of a multi-centre touring holiday.
Overlooking the Douro River and the patchwork fields and vineyards of the valley, the five star Six Senses Douro Valley is housed within a 19th century manor house and has eight hectares of land. Traditionally peach-coloured walls and white-stone-framed windows are crowned by a red tiled roof. The primary tower, with peaked roof and all-stone walls, rises up above the rest of the hotel and is visible from the fields around. The Six Senses Douro Valley takes us from a majestic traditional exterior, surrounded by landscaped gardens and delicate water features, through heavy and aged iron doors into a sleek, contemporary interior. Monochromatic spaces are enlivened by the vibrant views through the windows, and they gain warmth from clever lighting. All of the design is built around the natural materials found in the Douro Valley, particularly the stone and wood, which is then polished and shaped. The hotel restaurants, fed by their own organic garden, offer a wide array of regional dishes. Included under the umbrella-name of Vale de Abraao are the Dining Room, the Open Kitchen, and the Terrace. The Dining Room forms the main section of the restaurant, offering fine-dining and gourmet cuisine in a setting that has hints of classical decoration, a wide open fireplace, and panoramic windows with field and vineyard views. The Open Kitchen encourages guests to watch the talented chef in action; small groups can dine at the Chef's Table, watching the flavour combinations come together and the bread rise in the wood-fired oven. Pair your delicious food with fresh Portuguese air and unbeatable views on the Terrace. Tables are laid out on a stone-paved courtyard, around a tinkling water fountain. In the afternoons and evenings, tapas, afternoon tea, and drinks are served in the Quinta Bar and Lounge, where rustic furnishings are accompanied by contemporary features to create a 'designer' feel. The Six Senses Spa specialises in a range of different treatments, many including the grapes and wines produced nearby. After a treatment, guests can relax in the indoor pool or sauna. Somewhat unique to the Six Senses Douro Valley is the Wine Library. Here, guests can select from over 750 wines produced in Portugal to sample outside on the terrace with side dishes of tapas and cheese. Each aspect of this hotel, be it the terraces, the garden, the wine, or the panoramic windows, seems to draw the focus back out onto the landscape. This devotion to the stunning Portuguese countryside is reflected in their commitment to eco-friendly developments. Spend anything from a few nights to a week at the Six Senses Douro Valley enjoying the wide range of facilities, marvelling over the lush, green landscape, and exploring the wine towns and cultural heritage of the area. Then, perhaps move on to another Portuguese hotel to form a two- or multi-centre touring holiday.

The Six Senses Douro Valley is in an ideal location for further exploration of this riverside area. The nearby wine towns of Penafiel and Amarante are recommended for wine-tasting, as they have an abundance of wine lodges. Out of the two, Amarante proves the most popular as it is believed to be the most beautiful in the area. Nearby Lamego is an ancient pilgrimage town, most recognisable for the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Remedios, which sits at the top of a high, decorative zig-zagging staircase. A longer drive will take you into Porto, which sits at the mouth of the river. The 17th century Baroque Se Cathedral alone is worth the drive. It is believed to be one of the greatest artistic triumphs of 17th century Portugal, particularly due to the incredible carvings that adorn every column, every archway, and the altar. For something a little more self-guided, trace the roads alongside the Rio Douro to see the panoramic views and pass the picturesque medieval towns and villages.
Extra beds or cots can be added to all rooms. Children up to 11 years stay fre in their parents' room and children under 6 years eat free from the child menu. Guests under 14 are allowed in the Spa from 9am to 12pm.
3 nights minimum stay between 21 December and 3 January. Closed to departure on 29, 30 and 31 December.

Richard Earl lives in New Jersey. He has worked as a photographer since 1970. His resume includes work in photo engraving, photo silk screening, portraiture, freelance, advertising, product shots, event photography, photo restoration, custom printing and art photography.
He has earned a BA from Rutgers University and a MA in art from the New Jersey University; all of his graduate work consisted of studio courses in drawing, painting, and photography. He has also completed a 30-year career as a professional firefighter in one of New Jersey's largest cities. Since his retirement from this profession, he has lived the life of an artist and is involved with the creation of artwork on a daily basis."I have attemped to outline several of the major themes that my photographs explore on a regular basis with these submissions. The use of powerful colors, strong compositions, and unusual points of view create a presence in the works. Dreamlike and visionary imagery are common themes in these works."I have chosen to submit only digital photographic montages. Modern photograhpy has become digital. The advances in digital technology have given modern photographers unprecedented control over all aspects of the final image. This control is well beyond anything that was ever possible with film-based technology; it extends beyond the purely technical aspects of craftsmanship and reaches deeply into the areas of artistic expression. This trend promises to continue into the future with digital technology being even more predominant than it is now."My photographic work ranges from traditional imagery such as landscape and potraiture to the creation of photographic montages. The ontages are compositions created by the blending of several different images. This type of work requires the skills of both the photographer and the painter. These images tend to be surrealistic in tone and modern in feeling even though they are usually based on a more traditional type of photographic imagery."The compilation of these layered iamges mirrors the complex nature of experience; not completely realized and somewhat mysterious with a deep current of undertones and hidden meanings. The result is the creation fo imagers that have both power and presence; images that achieve "more reality than a single layer of imagery can express." These images also invite the spectator to interpret and become more involved with the artwork. In essence, the spectator can participate in the telling of hte story behind the work, enhancing and enriching the Art experience. Many of these pieces grow in impact as they grow in size. The enlarged scale leads to the creation of a strong, vital presence in the work. There is a sense of something just about the happen in the scene; something awaited with longing and great anticipation."

Collette Flanagan has spent the past seven months rallying to have the cop who killed her son Clinton Allen put in jail. Nothing has worked, not her complaints against Dallas Police Chief David Brown, not her protest outside District Attorney Craig Watkins' Grambling-Prairie View fundraiser, not Allen's twin boys holding "Honk to Indict Killer Cops" signs. It's clear now that nothing's going to.
The Dallas Morning News' Tanya Eiserer reports in this morning's paper that a Dallas County grand jury declined to indict officer Clark Staller for shooting the 25-year-old at an East Oak Cliff apartment complex in March.
Speaking to Eiserer, Watkins struck an almost apologetic tone.
"In this case, there are no winners," he said. "According to the grand jury's assessment, there was not enough evidence to indict this officer."
See also: Dallas Police Haven't Delivered on Promise to Work with the FBI on Officer-Involved Shootings
Allen's death came on the heels of several high-profile shooting by DPD officers, but his story never seemed to gain as much traction as the deaths of James Harper, who was also unarmed, or John Husband, who was shot in the back.

There's no telling why. Maybe the narrative in Allen's case was too messy. Police said Allen was choking Staller from behind at the time of the shooting, and that he had PCP in his system and a history of drug convictions. Flanagan and her supporters countered by pointing out that Staller was suspended for 20 days last year for running over a burglary suspect then lying about it to his superiors.

Flanagan and her supporters are not giving up. In a blog post announcing the grand jury's decision, they promise to "pursue this killer ... into phase II of our campaign."
What shape that will take is unclear, but it will involve fighting against Watkins' re-election.

The disability attorneys of the Law Office of Shawn E. McDermott LLC have prevailed again on an ERISA long-term disability to Liberty Life Assurance Company (underwriter of disability insurance policies for Liberty Mutual). Our client suffered from severe cervical spine pain, acute transverse myelitis, encephalopathy, and fibromyalgia. Despite the fact that Liberty Life had approved Ms. B for short-term disability, the insurance company erroneously determined she did not meet its definition for long-term disability. Liberty Life based its determination on a medical review by one of its in-house physicians and an incomplete review of all our client's medical records. As is often the case, Liberty Life completely disregarded the opinion of our client's treating physicians, instead relying on its own flawed evaluation.
Ms. B contacted our firm with assistance in filing an appeal of Liberty Life's adverse benefits determination. We obtained several additional pieces of documentation, demonstrating Ms. B's obvious disability. In addition to making several compelling arguments which proved that Liberty Life had completely overlooked certain evidence in reaching its initial decision to deny LTD benefits, we obtained a Functional Capacity Evaluation from a well-respected therapist to submit with the appeal and also provided supportive letters from Ms. B's treating physicians. Following Liberty Life's review of thorough appeal submitted by our office, it determined the original decision to deny benefits was wrong, and granted long-term disability benefits to our client. She has now been provided all past due benefits and is currently receiving monthly payments on an ongoing basis.
The above story of Ms. B is not unusual. Although the ERISA statutes have been interpreted in favor of employer plans and the long-term disability insurance carriers for many years, the internal appeal process (which must be completed as a prerequisite to the filing of a lawsuit, if necessary) can still be successful if handled correctly and competently. We have the necessary experience to do just this. If you need assistance in submitting a thorough, well-prepared ERISA disability appeal, or require assistance with a claim under your private long-term disability insurance policy, please contact the disability lawyers at the Law Office of Shawn E. McDermott.

Do you think the internet is amazing? Have you stood back in awe, marvelling at the democratizing potential (and sometimes reality) of an open and free internet? Do you believe that the people who should have the power over the internet are its users, you and I, as opposed to monolithic entities such the internet service provider you last found yourself screaming at on the phone? If you said yes to even one of these questions, you likely care about the US Federal Communications Commision's (FCC) move to change how the internet works as we know it. I'm writing this post for readers who don't have the time or patience to keep up to date with the latest news.
Who is the FCC and what do they do? You can check out what they do on their website. Basically, they regulate all stateside communications technologies, and are mostly appointed by the President. They have a powerful role to play in what and how media is created and consumed in the United States.
What are they proposing as the new set of rules? The most commonly used analogy compares the new set of rules to a highway without tolls (currently) and a highway with fast toll lanes and slow free lanes (proposed changes).
Huh? What do you mean? This means that your ISP (In Canada we have Bell, Rogers, and a few others, in the US they have Comcast, AT&T and others) will be able to charge websites for faster internet. If you can't pay, get in the slow lane.
How could this be happening? One word: money.
I don't live in the USA, so why should I care? Because the USA is still the most powerful and influential country on the planet, because we live in a globalized world, and because no country exists in a vacuum. This decision may set a precedent.
Who would these new rules would benefit? Large companies who could pay ISPs for 'faster lanes' on the internet. Don't worry, Netflix, YouTube, and Facebook will probably pay because they have more money than many countries in the world.
What could the FCC do instead? They could make a rule which would make ISPs 'Common Carriers'. Our telephone providers, for instance, are regulated as common carriers. This means that they get to profit off providing the service, not by charging more to people and companies that can afford faster, clearer, or better phone lines.
How will this effect schools? Well, first of all, I'm guessing your school internet isn't something to write home about as it is. The type of bandwidth we need to do video conferencing, streaming, and even basic web browsing would take a serious hit. Many also argue that, since it would be large corporations who could pay 'the toll', we would be forced to gravitate to web tools provided by corporations over smaller companies. Check out Mike Caulfield's great breakdown of some of the problems that might arise for higher education.
What can I do? Like all the other problems in our world, I'm powerless, right? Absolutely not. Actually, compared to something much more complex such as Climate Change or Global Poverty, we can stop this easily. These rules cannot be put into place without public support; or, rather, public apathy. Yell about it! Here's how.
The internet is supposed to be different than something like, say, traditional television. You and I are supposed to be able to start a website from our homes or the local Starbucks as easily as a giant like Time Warner or Comcast. If you're ok with a two-tiered internet, keep calm and carry on. On the other hand, if you are able to contemplate the problems in this arrangement for democracy, and if you believe that being rich shouldn't mean you have a literally faster and better internet than common folk, speak out now and speak out often.

Anyone who has said it is easy to pick up where you left off was not talking about running, at least not in my case. A little over a month ago I completed a half-marathon in 1:54:36 and now running 9 minute miles on a 3 mile run felt like torture. I met a set of twins at the beginning of the half-marathon whose goals were to run about the same time I planned on running, one of the twins actually had not run since her last half-marathon in October. She is apparently one of those people who can pick up exactly where she left off because I saw her at the end of the half-marathon and she ran it in 1:50. Congrats to her, I on the other hand would not be able to accomplish what she did without training at least a little bit.
This morning I ran 3 miles at 6:30 am:
Not a bad time but I had a difficult time maintaining my pace, getting slower with each additional mile. My orthotics are also irritating my foot but I'm not sure if that is because I am just breaking them in or they need to be fixed, I have an appointment with the podiatrist on Friday. As far as my knee goes it has been fine, no pain while running!!!!
I know I just need to take it slow and I will get back to where I was, but I am very impatient so it is irritating that I cannot run as fast as I did a month ago. I am going to take a deep breath, take it slow and remain uninjured so I can start my half-marathon training in July.
My next race is a 5K on June 25th. I haven't run a 5K in years, but I am hoping to PR since it is a flat and fast course, maybe I'll even place in my age group. Even if I don't PR it will be a fun race, much easier than running 13.1 miles too!!

America: What Did You Expect?
By Marc Platt
We are in the final year of our first African American
President's administration. The obstructionist Republicans who have blocked everything he has brought to congress is now coming to grips with a monster they allowed to be created through fear and racism.
Duh. Did you think this would go smoothly?
Campaigning through fear and ugly demagoguery will always result in candidates that will most likely govern the same way.
America is coming to grips with The Donald and his Muslim-hating, Mexican-baiting campaign that is now being embraced by the Klan. Senator Jeff Sessions, a man denied a federal judgeship due to his views on race has endorsed Trump, as has David Duke, a former Imperial Wizard of said Klan.
This has now become a reality. Trump is skating through the south, getting voters sympahtetic with these racially divisive attitudes and views. Trump and his fellow Republicans have demonized Obama for years and have skewed reality so much that it has become evident race is going to once again play a huge part of our electoral process.
The media has also played a part in this terrible onslaught of fear Trump and Cruz has been able to freely display.
The media has benefitted as much as anyone with ratings. The Trump phenomenum is a ratings bonanza because the public cannot get of the reality-star-turned-politician, who says whatever is on his mind. This act does not seem to get old, so they cover everything. Even the insults Marco Rubio and Trump lob at each other to try and nail down Super Tuesday.
Trump will likely be the nominee and will have to square off against Hillary Clinton. We may see an unprecedented amount of establishment Republicans endorse Clinton in a general election. Everyone seems to now be scared of a possible Trump Presidency.
Good luck America. I hope you do the right thing for everyone.

My kids play derby, have been for almost a year now. They are learning some fantastic stuff above and beyond the sport like poise, strength, endurance, self confidence, strength, every body is different and every body can do great things. One of the GREAT things about derby is skills not size are what make a great derby player.
I could wax poetic about derby for a while, I really could. And that is one of the reasons I wanted to play too.
But that is not my purpose here today, today Im here to discuss wheel storage.
My kids are at the level where they are going to start having multiple sets of wheels. Just starting out we used the generic wheels that came on the skates, they have grown skill wise into needing better wheels, plus we have different wheels for outdoor trail skating. Eventually they are going to need harder wheels for different surfaces.
All these wheels are a pain to carry around. So far most skaters I have seen use a plastic bag, or tupperware.
I present my groovy solution:
tennis ball tubes
These things come in tubes for 3 or 4 balls, its great if you know someone who plays tennis, or has dogs. I neither play tennis nor have dogs, Im thinking these balls are going to be another great craft supply, or I'll donate them to friends with dogs.
The narrow wheels can fit 8 into a tube for 4 balls, but mostly 4 wheels per tube.
On my sticky outdoor wheels I have added a skewer to help keep the wheels lined up so they go into, and come out of the tube easier.
So far Ive slightly impressed two of the guys at the skate shop, neither having seen this as a solution before. One guy called it a "mom" solution if he ever saw one. That made me laugh. It is a mom solution, a crafty mom solution.
Now I just need to come up with something craft to do with the generic wheels that came with the skates!

My Ideal Day: A Day in the Life Sunday/
Have you ever spent time thinking about what your ideal day would look like? Well, I had not until Becky Robinson asked me that very question. As part of a campaign with Jason Womack, author of Your Best Just Got Better, Becky is asking people to describe their ideal day.
I'm in. Are you?
My ideal day is a day without a plan. It begins with me waking up on my own. It's quiet inside the house and even quieter inside my head. Moleskine is hand, I write, capturing free-flowing unedited thoughts while observing how easily they connect if I stay out of their way.
I exercise. It could be a bike, run or hike but it is outside and my thoughts are on nothing other than the movement, the sounds and my strength.
By the time I finish, the family is awake and humming along. Breakfast is a must and an ideal weekend breakfast is brunch-like with oatmeal or French toast complete with nuts and fruit and coffee with Baileys. Oh, bread pudding! The fall in the air today has me remembering a Vermont maple farm brunch I read about but I could be just as happy at a local coffee shop with indie music and a great artisan bakery.
We eat, talk, read, watch TV, walk the dog - whatever. The activity, or lack of activity, is not important. What's important is that we are together, in the moment, with a quiet understanding and total acceptance of each other as individuals and as a family unit.
My ideal day is not only about what I am doing, it is also about whom I am doing it with. My ideal day is about the state of my relationships and being present for them by quieting my inner noise. Now . . . a day at the spa, a new look and a great dinner wouldn't ruin an ideal day either.

Acharya Mahapragyaji "A Living Legend" is not merely a person but also a purpose, not just a being but also a belief. He is that perception that cannot be bound by Time or Territory. Popularly known as a 'mobile encyclopaedia', was a treasure house of infinite knowledge. The eminent poet Ramdhari Singh dinkar designated him as the 'Second Vivekananda of India'. He is not a reservoir of wisdom but its very fountain-source. The former may not always have fresh and clean water, which the later i.e. the source would always possess. Such a source alone has the capacity to quench the thirst of innumerable persons. Paradoxically, Acharya Mahapragya has acquired the power of not only quenching but also creating such thirst in the people.Thought's churned out from the depths of his meditation are lasting and effective.
Acharya Shri Mahapragya, a humanitarian leader, spiritual Guru and an Ambassador of peace, was the tenth Acharya, supreme head of the Svetambar Terapanth sect of Jainism. He was a highly venerable saint, yogi, spiritual leader, philosopher, author, orator, poet.
The Beginning
of his Knowledge strong and secure. He also made an in-depth study of Modern Physics and Bio - sciences, Ayurved ( Indian systems of medicines) Politics, Economics, and Sociology with the modern trends of Communism, Socialism and Capitalism and gally became a leader of all the senior and talented saints of Jainism. On several occasions he was honored in recognition of his extra ordinary scholarship and out standing contribution to the organizational affairs. Impressed by Muni Nathmal, Acharya Tulsi honored him with the qualitative epithet of "Mahapragya" (highly knowledgeable) on 12 November 1978.
On 4 February 1979, his appellation 'Mahapragya' was converted into his new name by Acharya Tulsi and he was also made 'Yuvacharya', successor designate to the present Acharya, the second highest position after the Acharya himself. In a public meeting on 18 February 1994, Acharya Tulsi declared that Mahapragya would now have the title of 'Acharya' also and that the former was renouncing this position forthwith. Subsequently, on 5 February 1995, Mahapragya was formally consecrated as the 10th Acharya – the supreme head – of the Terapanth religious order in a public meeting in Delhi.
Founder of Preksha Meditation System
Acharya Mahapragya, the rare confluence of Power, Peace and Dedication, has, after diving deep into the depths of spiritualism, supplied us with many invaluable jewel. While adding lustre, prestige and glow to the 'terapanth' sect, through his sustained efforts, he has also served as a beacon to the human mind engulfed in countless problems.
While in his late twenties, he started to realize the wonders of meditation, he was open to experiment with spiritual techniques. He discussed his discoveries with Acharya Tulsi and thereafter started dedicating more time to meditation practices. He exercised deep
His favourite topic was mind. Majority of the man's problems would be resolved with the resolution of problems of mind. Individuals usually get perturbed, even unbalanced, due to adverse circumstances. His Holiness advised instead of functioning like the slipping and flowing water, one's mind should be solidified like ice and should remain so, as if kept in a refrigerator. His deep understanding enabled him to look beyond Time. He anticipated the needs and expectations of the coming era. Instead of getting entangled with problems, he looked for their solution. He was the blending artist of heart and wisdom on one hand and thought and action, on the other.
Great Meditator
Acharya Mahapragya himself was a great practitioner of meditation. He has also written extensively on these topics. He started practicing mantra and meditation with his initiation to monkhood. In his twenties he started delving deeper into meditation and realized his profound interest for it.
Anuvrat movement
Acharya Mahapragya played an instrumental role in the Anuvrat movement launched on 2 March 1949 by his guru and the head of Jain Shwetambra Terapanth, Acharya Tulsi. The ultimate aim of the movement was and remains to create a nonviolent socio-political world order with the help of a worldwide network of self-transformed people. Since its inception it has inspired millions of people to practice purity and self-discipline in their personal lives. His Holiness helped Acharya Tulsi in the preparation of the contents of Anuvrat and worked as a core member in the movement, many times representing Acharya Tulsi by explaining the principles of Anuvrat . He leaded the Anuvrat Movement for almost 21 years.
Agam Research and Editing
After consulting Acharya Mahapragya, Acharya Tulsi decided to start the research, translation and annotation of the Jain Agamas. The work started in 1955 in Ujjain under the leadership of Acharya Tulsi with Mahapragya being the editorial director. Joint activity of Acharya Tulsi, Mahapragya and other intellectual monks and nuns began
Acharya Mahapragya first undertook his deep, sustained study and started editing them and provided their new meanings and interpretations. Through strenuous work day and night for many years continuously, the original text of the thirty-two Agam scriptures was determined and their Hindi translation was accomplished
Science of Living Education System
Science of Living education system is an effort to implement value-based education and moral education. Its goal and approach is overall development of student and not simply just the intellectual development. It aims for a balanced emotional, intellectual and physical development. Acharya Mahapragya conceived the idea of 'Science of Living' in 28 December 1979 at Jain Vishva Bharati, Ladnun, Rajasthan. Day by day Science of Living is gaining more recognition and wider acceptance in Indian education system.
Jain Vishva Bharati University
Acharya Mahapragya was responsible for the conception of Jain Vishva Bharati University, Ladnun, Rajasthan and played a key role in its establishment. It was established under the spiritual patronage of Acharya Tulsi in 1991. Acharya Mahapragya served as head of this university since 1995. The university's objective is to revive truths and values hidden in the ancient Indian traditions in general and in the Jain tradition in particular. It provides platforms and infrastructures for doing research in various subjects and for the pursuance of doctorate degrees. One of the prime objectives of this University is to spread literacy in subjects like nonviolence and peace, Jainology, Sanskrit, Prakrit, yoga, meditation, and literature.Regular degree courses leading to bachelors and masters degrees are presently being conducted.
Ahimsa Yatra
Acharya Mahapragya was an exemplary practitioner of Anekantavada and Non-violence. The personality and contribution of this practitioner of non-violence and nonabsolutism is multi-dimensional. The world's problems touched him deeply. In response, he came up with the solution of Ahimsa Yatra, a journey on foot to advance the cause of non violence, was launched by Mahapragya 5 December 2001 at Sujangarh in Rajasthan. With Ahimsa Yatra, His Holiness's mission was to train and spread nonviolence and its broad perspective to people
He took his Yatra from Gujarat to Maharashtra, Daman, Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, Delhi, some parts of Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, and Chandigarh. He passed through 87 districts of India, and covered more than 2400 villages, towns and cities, where he held
The SSD Action Plan envisages "Five Garland Projects". The emphasis of four projects was on celebration of inter- religious festivals, multi- religious projects, healthcare, and employment, imbibing value based education in schools and encouraging inter-faith dialogue among religious/spiritual heads. In order to pursue these in a sustained manner and to coordinate all activities, a national level independent and autonomous organization managed by religious/ spiritual leaders as well as scholars and enlightened Citizens was set up. This organization was named "Foundation for Unity of Religious and Enlightened Citizenship' (FUREC). FUREC was launched by the President Dr. A P J Abdul Kalam on the birthday of Acharya Mahapragya, the 15th June 2004 at Rashtrapati Bhavan, New Delhi.
FUREC combines the objectives of the Surat Spiritual Declaration and President Dr. A P J Abdul Kalam's Vision 2020 and is a non-profit organization which was founded by 15 spiritual leaders.
Prolific Writer & Outstanding Poet
Mahapragya started writing when he was 22 which did not ceasel till his last breathe. He authored more than 300 books. These works deal with meditation and spirituality, the mind, the human psyche and its traits, the roots of emotions and their manifestation through behaviour, Mantra saadhana, Yog, Anekantavada, Non violence, and Jain philosophy and history.
In his book Art of Thinking Positive, he explored the root causes of negative thoughts and provided a methodology for its transformation. Some other book titles include Towards Inner Harmony, I and Mine, Mind beyond Mind, Mysteries of Mind, New Man New World, Mirror of Self. He analysed the hidden causes of emotions, the functioning of the human psyche, and the manifestation of the psyche through one's behaviour.
Acharya Mahapragya formulated Preksha meditation and wrote extensively on this topic. In these books he described various techniques of meditations and their effects on the psyche, physiology, hormonal influences, the endocrine system, and the nervous system
He has written many books on Jain Philosophy providing a serious material on Jain beliefs and vision.
He wrote with great clarity. His sentences are short and his style was direct. He only suggested, he never forced his view. He may haved asserted his belief, but his language is conscious of relativity even in expression. He often resorted to the passive voice. As one of his translator's once said "Between one full stop and the next sentence, a kingdom can be built".
Divine Stand on Religion

Last Journey
Subsequently, Acharya Mahashraman was appointed the 11th acharya of Jain Terapanth, previously Acharya Mahapragya had made him the Yuvacharya of the Terapanth sect at Gangashahar (Bikaner) in 1997

OK, time for something old and eerie: "Voodoo." It's a song from one of Soundway Records' latest 10" records. The release is an EP of four instrumental tracks from Cyril Diaz & His Orchestra, which were put out in the 1950s.
These tracks all have fantastic backing beats and tons of energy. They really make me wanna move; however, there's something smokey and mysterious about them, too. Something that's somewhat dark and difficult to explain.

Man killed in industrial accident north of Silverthorne during Highway 9 paving work
A 20-year-old man working on a road paving operation was killed in an "industrial accident" Thursday afternoon, June 15, on Highway 9 north of Silverthorne, a Colorado State Patrol spokesman confirmed.
The incident occurred at around 12:30 p.m. near milepost 107, the spokesman said. He declined to provide further details about the nature of the accident, saying that the Occupational Safety and Health Administration was en route and would be conducting an investigation.
The CSP spokesman said that the man was not employed by the state of Colorado. The Summit County coroner has not yet released his name.
Police closed northbound Highway 9 at Hamilton Creek Road immediately after the accident and continued to re-route traffic until around 3 p.m. Traffic on Highway 9 has returned to alternating one-lane traffic to accommodate the paving work.
