There is a growing movement of people fed up with corporations-as-persons, money-as-speech, elections-for-sale in America. They are ready to amend the US Constitution as the only sure way to reverse the Supreme Court's decisions in Citizens United v. FEC and Buckley v. Valeo. But what's the best amendment? Sanders/Deutch or Udall/Sutton? Move To Amend or Free Speech for People?
Here are twelve questions to put the choice of language in an analytical framework. Every drafter should be able to answer them.
1. What is the main purpose? Is it to drive the big money, from all sources, out of elections? Or is it to abolish corporate personhood?
2. If none of the rights extended to corporations are still protected by the Constitution, what would the consequences be — outside of the realm of elections?
3. What would happen the day after the amendment was adopted? Would corporate and business spending in elections stop immediately or would legislation and litigation be required?
4. What kinds of legal entities does the amendment apply to?
a. business corporations
b. nonprofit corporations
c. labor unions
d. other forms of organization (associations, trusts, LLCs, partnerships)
e. all of the above
5. How should the campaign spending of individuals (including candidates) be regulated?
a. no limits on personal spending
b. authorize Congress and the states to set limits
c. set dollar limits in the Constitution
d. prohibit completely
6. Should all campaign contributions and expenditures be publicly disclosed? Or should Congress and the states allow small donations to be anonymous? In view of all that secret money that flows through nonprofit groups for political "issue ads," how do we force them to disclose their sources?
7. Should public financing of campaigns be required, permitted, or prohibited?
8. Does the amendment cover both candidate elections and public votes on ballot measures?
9. Are all levels of government covered: federal, state, city, town, and county?
10. Is any special wording needed to protect freedom of the press?
11. Should other subjects be covered in the amendment, such as making election day a holiday, shortening the campaign season, simplifying voter registration, requiring paper ballots, addressing voter disenfranchisement?
12. Should there be two or more amendments to carry different aspects of these issues, or one unified proposal?
…and of course, is the language as brief and clear as it can be?
My answers would be:
1. Drive big money out of elections.
2. Takes a lot of legal study to be sure about this.
3. Immediate effect.
4. e. – although the business entities are the biggest danger.
5. b. – use legislation to set limits.
6. Legislatively, force disclosure of all large donors whose money is used for politics.
7. Permit.
8. Both.
9. All.
10. No.
11. No.
12. One, though some days I think abolishing corporate personhood should be separate.
This is the sixth piece I've written this year on this subject. In January I proposed a simple version: only citizens can vote, only citizens should finance campaigns. In April I compared the main alternatives offered at that time. In November I pointed out the problems with a single focus on corporate personhood, followed by two blogs praising Deutch and then Sanders for what they introduced — as the best so far. (Click on my name above to access them.)
But what I really think we need is for all the proponents to get their ideas out on the table, have a big summit conference, test each approach using criteria such as these twelve, and forge a unified amendment.

Sulfur dioxide emissions in China
Sulfur dioxide is a component of air pollution that leads to the formation of smog and acid rain and can cause some nasty respiratory illnesses. Shit's bad news. The burning of coal makes up 90% of sulfur dioxide emissions. I'm currently researching sulfur dioxide emissions at a particular power plant in Linfen, but in addition to that, I've been compiling data on macro-level sulfur dioxide. Here are some lovely graphs and tables for everyone's edification and a brief context for that staple of the planned economy, the five-year economic plan of China.
China's sulfur dioxide emissions from 2005-2010 are as follows:
Year Sulfur dioxide (tonnes)
2005 25,494,000
2006 25,888,000
2007 24,681,000
2008 23,212,000
2009 22,144,000
2010 21,851,000
The highest sulfur dioxide emitting provinces in 2010 are as follows:
Province sulfur dioxide (tonnes (2010))
1. Shandong 1,538,000
2. Inner Mongolia 1,394,000
3. Henan 1,339,000
4. Shanxi 1,249,000
5. Hebei 1,234,000
The highest sulfur dioxide emitting provinces in 2010 per capita, however, are as follows:
Province sulfur dioxide (tonnes per capita (2010))
1. Ningxia 0.055
2. Inner Mongolia 0.052
3. Xinjiang 0.028
4. Shanxi 0.026
5. Jilin 0.021
As usual, the significant figures are iffy because I don't know the uncertainty on the data that I have. Notice all the provinces are in the north. Ahh, bless the north with its bountiful noodles, gangly demographics, and sulfur dioxide! Also, after an admittedly not thorough literature search, it is unclear to me why these provinces are the most emitting per capita. Some papers claim it is linearly related to GDP per capita, which makes sense, but I'm not going to pretend that I did any research into whether or why Ningxia has a high GDP per capita. But then some papers say that there is no correlation. I just know that Ningxia is known for its grapes. We all know that…people working in the grape industry…need to burn coal…ok, I'm pulling this out of my ass. I doubt that grape production is correlated with sulfur dioxide, but perhaps that is a masters thesis waiting to be written! You're welcome, hypothetical graduate student!
To put these numbers in rough context, the data I got from my power plant in Linfen says that pre-scrubbing, the sulfur content of the total coal burned per day is on average 100 tonnes. That means that if all of that sulfur is converted to sulfur dioxide, the mass is around 200 tonnes. But if we assume the desulfurization equipment can get rid of 90% of the sulfur dioxide, that means that a single, modern 600MW power plant emits about 20 tonnes of sulfur dioxide per day. So China's total sulfur dioxide emissions per year is EQUIVALENT to about the SO2 emissions of 3000 power plants of the specs I've assumed above.
China realized on paper that they needed curb their emissions during the tenth five-year plan (2000-2005). In the tenth five-year plan for energy conservation and emissions reduction (节能减排第十五规划), they set a target to reduce SO2 by 10% compared to 2000 levels, but sulfur dioxide emissions actually increased 42% during that period. They fucked that one up, but many people probably got shiny BMWs out of all of it.
They did better during the eleventh five-year plan (2005-2010). They actually reduced SO2 by 14% from 2005 levels! This is especially impressive because the economy was developing and electricity generation actually grew by nearly 80% in this time period. Flue-gas desulfurization (FGD), or scrubbers, were installed on 86% of all power plants by the end of 2010, compared with 14% by the end of 2005. Schreifels's paper (see below) cites six factors for the reduction in emissions: (1) the instruments used to outline the goal, (2) the political commitment to enforce the emission targets, (3) Central government accountability for provincial and local officials and power company executives, (4) verification of emission measurements by the Central government, (5) greater government focus at all levels on the SO2 goal, and (6) revised policies and programs that placed an emphasis on performance and incentives. I'm not going to write out all the details because really you should read the paper, because it's awesome. It's quite specific about how incentives, enforcement, and better coordination between governmental bureaus have curbed SO2 emissions.
Basically everything on the history of policy is from this article and this article, and all my numbers from the China Environmental Statistical Yearbook. The most recent data I could get was from 2010. Full citation below:

From the outside, the new Spencer County High School gym doesn't look very big. On the inside, pictured above, it looks enormous.
It is 102 feet by 104 feet, said Superintendent Lloyd Mullins. "It's about the same size as Bullitt East but we won't have a balcony."
Mullins said the Spencer County gym will seat 1,500, compared to the 400 capacity seating in the old gym.

Holiday meals, especially Thanksgiving, often go hand-in-hand with turkey. In fact, it's probably safe to say that more homes will be serving turkey on the major fall and winter holidays than any other item. Many family cooks have prepared this favorite for years and years with recipes and instructions that have been lovingly handed down through generations and which they, in turn, will hand down to their children. In some homes, cooking the first turkey might even be seen as a rite of passage.
I do not like pumpkin pie. I love the flavor of pumpkin. I am a fan of pumpkin bread and pumpkin ice cream. There is just something about the texture of the pie that turns me off. So I look for desserts that feature pumpkin in other ways.
Assertiveness is an attitude and a way of acting in any situation where you need to do something like:
• express your feelings.
• ask for what you want.
• say "no" to something you don't want.
But, you say, "to become assertive seems to have the belief that I have the right to ask for what I want." That's right!

Catamaran conversion
Posted: September 26th, 2010, 5:26 pm
I am considering converting my A-class catamaran to a rower. It is 18' long, 7'6" beam and weighs 120lbs. The oarlock would likely have to sit 14" above the waterline for the oars to clear the hulls. I would appreciate advice on issues with the increased angle of the oar, also advice on type of oar. I would likely use a drop in slider.


text: I have a brand new singer machine and purchesed a walking foot for it from the dealer. The first picture shows the mark the walking foot left on the material when I tried to sew in the ditch. The mark cannot even be rubbed out. The second pic shows how uneven the rows looked using this walking foot. Kind of a seesaw affect. Since I have never used a walking foot before I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem. Promise me It was installed correctly. When I take the walking foot off and look at it with the teeth in the down position,one set of teeth is lower than the other and if I set it down, it tilts to the low side of the teeth. Any clues?

You probably wouldn't be shocked to find that your metabolism changes during and after menopause. What you might find surprising is that the one size fits all diets that you've tried in the past may have actually increased your chances of gaining weight. Learn how to readjust your body's metabolism to accommodate the changes that menopause brings.
As a female physician who specializes in weight management, weight gain during menopause and pre-menopause are the most common condition I deal with.
So many women will share the history of never having to worry about weight until all of a sudden with perimenopause or menopause it is as if a switch has turned off and metabolism has changed. Or the history is that "I have always needed to work on my weight- eat the right things and exercise - and I still do. But now everything I used to do to control my weight no longer works. Instead, I am gaining weight despite being more careful, exercising more and eating less. Help! I am so frustrated."
To read about the definition and symptoms of menopause and perimenopause click here.
But what about the weight gain during menopause? Many women would take hormones or not take them if they knew that their use or avoidance would prevent menopausal weight gain. I let women know that there is no evidence that taking hormones or not taking hormones affects a woman's ability to control her weight with perimenopause or menopause. What the studies show is that in the years after menopause, the average woman will gain thirty pounds. Women who take hormones may experience less initial weight gain, but several years later; women on hormones have gained a similar amount of weight compared to women who have never used hormones.
Can weight gain during menopause be avoided? Or will I, like most of my patients, be bewildered and gaining in twenty years despite doing all that I can to prevent it? This was the question I often asked myself during the day-to-day clinical practice of medicine in weight management. It has been one of the driving questions that I seek answers for when I go to conferences or read the scientific literature. I have found some very encouraging answers to the dilemma and my patients are very grateful.
The answer comes down to carbohydrate tolerance. What this is referring to is how the body metabolizes and uses nutrients. Carbohydrate tolerance is determined by hepatic (which means liver) regulation and peripheral usage, which means how the cells of your body use energy. The factors which affect carbohydrate tolerance are diet, muscle mass, physical activity, age and gender.
A young male athlete has great tolerance to carbohydrate. He has a larger muscle mass due to his young age, his male gender and his high level of physical activity. The young male athlete is able to utilize his carbohydrates or glucose right at the level of his muscles and his muscle mass is large. The young male athlete would be able to run and perform well with a diet high in carbohydrate so much so that athletes have practiced carbohydrate loading before events of peak performance.
The high carbohydrate, low protein diet, which is the backbone of the food guide pyramid, is providing optimal nutrition for the athletic male. But what about the postmenopausal woman who is more sedentary, what does she need?
Most women become less active with age and experience a decline in muscle mass. Even women who still continue to exercise experience a decline in muscle mass due to age but it is much less of a decline than that seen with sedentary women. The high carbohydrate diet requires utilization of energy by the skeletal muscle or storage of excess calories into body fat. As a woman's muscle tissue declines, the fat tissue is where her extra dietary carbohydrates will be stored. She gains body fat, and usually more fat in the central or abdominal areas of her body. The rise in abdominal fat is what triggers the cascade of an important hormonal imbalance called insulin resistance, which directly affects heart disease risk.

Kalamazoo, MI –
Kalamazoo Public Library announces the selection of Rick Bragg's series of memoirs, All Over But the Shoutin', Ava's Man, and the recently published The Prince of Frogtown for the 2009 Reading Together program. Readers may choose to read any one or more of the series, as all feature the same themes.
Reading Together book discussions and a wide variety of special events will take place in March and April of 2009. Author Bragg will visit Kalamazoo on April 14, 2009, during National Library Week to conclude this year's program.
Reading Together invites people of all ages from all walks of life to read and then discuss important issues raised by a single book. Thousands of county residents have participated in six previous Reading Together programs.
Kalamazoo Public Library leads Reading Together with the collaboration of libraries, educational institutions, health and social service agencies, cultural, civic and religious organizations, businesses, the media, and local governments throughout Kalamazoo County.
The Kalamazoo Community Foundation helped the library launch Reading Together with funding for the first three years with grants from their Better Together initiative. Kalamazoo Public Library now provides major support for the program. Foundation grants, gifts and contributions from collaborating organizations make it possible for KPL to offer Reading Together to all of Kalamazoo County. KPL program specialist Lisa Williams coordinates the program.
The book selection process continued Reading Together's tradition of democratic community participation. A large group of community members considered dozens of titles gathered from last year's evaluation process, suggested by library patrons, staff, and community leaders, and recommended by librarians and educators.
Committee members read and discussed the suggested titles with these guidelines in mind. A good Reading Together book features:
Rick Bragg's memoirs of home and childhood are related but not linear. They sufficiently connect so that readers could start with the newest book, The Prince of Frogtown, then move on to one of the others. Rick Bragg already has many fans in our community. Even now, more than 10 years after its publication, Shoutin' still garners a waiting list at KPL. Here's what readers can look forward to:
With colorful language and emotional honesty, Rick Bragg recounts a turbulent and poverty-stricken childhood in rural Alabama that gave rise to a career in journalism and a Pulitzer Prize for reporting. His book is a sensitive but never self-pitying look at the fruits of his alcoholic father's abuse and abandonment of the family, and at his mother, who bore the brunt of the pain.
Bragg celebrates his mama's daddy, Charlie Bundrum, a heroic figure whose life was symbolic of a people and way of life nearly gone today from the Southern landscape. An ode to his grandfather, but also a study of the history and culture of the rural South, richly seasoned with all-but-forgotten lore and language.
This completes the cycle of Rick Bragg's stories about his childhood. Bragg was convinced the last thing he wanted was to become a father. Now married and suddenly stepfather to a young boy, Bragg looks back to move forward. Through conversations with people who knew Bragg's father, he builds a picture of who Charles Bragg really was, searching for shreds of goodness in him. Stories about his father alternate with chapters about the developing relationship with his stepson.
Rick Bragg says he learned to tell stories by listening to the masters, the people of the foothills of the Appalachians. They talked, of the sadness, poverty, cruelty, kindness, hope, hopelessness, faith, anger and joy of their everyday lives, and painted pictures on the very haze of the early evening, when work faded into story-telling. Those stories are the backbone of all three of his memoirs.
Bragg was born in Alabama, grew up there, and worked at several newspapers before joining The New York Times in 1994. He covered the murder and unrest in Haiti while a metro reporter there, then wrote about the Oklahoma City bombing, the Jonesboro killings, the Susan Smith trial and more as a national correspondent based in Atlanta. He later became Miami Bureau Chief for the Times just in time for Elian Gonzalez's arrival and the international battle for the little boy.
Bragg received the Pulitzer Prize for Feature Writing in 1996 while at The New York Times for his elegantly written stories about contemporary America. He has twice won the prestigious American Society of Newspaper Editors Distinguished Writing Award, and more than 50 writing awards in his 20-year career. In 1992, he was awarded a Nieman Fellowship at Harvard University. He has taught writing in colleges and in newspaper news rooms.

We all like walking our loved ones or family members through the airport terminal when they're leaving on a trip, but there are times when it'd be nice to accompany them past the ominous security checkpoint on the way to the boarding gates. Here's the good news: You can accompany them if you ask nicely and have a good reason to be there. The downside is that you'll have to go through security just like they will.
Airlines allow for "companions" to acquire what's called a "gate pass," which allows you to walk your traveling loved ones all the way to the final gate. To get one, just speak with the airline rep at the ticket desk, and try to have the actual ticket-holders with you at the time. The catch is that you'll need to present a valid reason for wanting to be there, since those gates are crowded enough as it is.
Valid reasons aren't hard to come by, though. If a wife or husband is flying, there's really no reason the other wouldn't be allowed to accompany them—you can always say it's an anxiety problem. Gate passes are given more or less automatically to the parent of a child that's traveling as an unaccompanied minor, and the same goes for people seeing off their elderly parents, since it's reasonable to see that they'd need help.
It's also a good idea to speak to the airline's ticket desk earlier than just an hour before the flight, just in case a manager has to handle the request, and you'll definitely want to have proper identification with you. Photo by Martin Abegglen.

President Lawrence S. Bacow
Office of the President
Tufts University
Ballou Hall, Second Floor
Medford, Massachusetts 02155
Re: The Primary Source case and FIRE's Red Alert list
Dear President Bacow:
I am writing to draw your attention to the full-page advertisement that FIRE ran in the most recent "America's Best Colleges" issue of U.S. News & World Report. The advertisement appears on page 89, immediately adjacent to the rankings of the top 100 national universities, in the same position our advertisement appeared last year. We have enclosed a copy of the issue for your information. FIRE plans to continue its advertisements in U.S. News each year to bring attention to the colleges and universities that make up our "Red Alert" list. The increased traffic the advertisement brings to FIRE's website, thefire.org, as well as the negative attention it draws to Tufts University's public image, make it all the more disappointing that FIRE must include Tufts among the "worst of the worst" for protecting campus liberty for a second straight year.
FIRE takes no pleasure in keeping Tufts on its Red Alert list. As an organization that prides itself on its ability to quickly resolve disputes, we find it especially disappointing that Tufts has continued to stand by its unjust actions and willingly imperil the free expression of its students. FIRE is no less determined, however, to continue to expose and fight abuses of liberty on America's campuses and at Red Alert institutions most of all.
As we have said repeatedly in our letters to Tufts as well as in numerous press releases and entries on FIRE's blog, The Torch, all that Tufts needs to do to ensure its removal from FIRE's Red Alert list is to bring justice in the case of the student newspaper The Primary Source by formally reversing or expunging the finding of harassment against the paper on the basis of its content. Such a degradation of free expression cannot be allowed to stand, and FIRE will continue to publicly call on Tufts to remedy this wrong until it does.
Taking this step will cost Tufts nothing and will only save the university from the further embarrassment of having to publicly defend its indefensible disregard for student rights. Tufts has both a moral and a legal obligation to protect these rights, and it is past time that the university lived up to them.
I would, of course, be happy to speak with you personally about this matter. You may reach me at 215-717-3473 or email@example.com. Thank you for your attention to this crucial issue. I sincerely hope that FIRE will not be sending this letter in another year's time.
Robert L. Shibley
Vice President

Book of Enchantments illustration will appear here.
This story is mostly like any other short story in The book of Enchantments it is a little strange. But the characters are very interesting in ways of there personality.
Also the topic of the story is very interesting. My favorite character was a cat who they found out in one of the stories that he was really a wizard who was trapped in a cat?s body. He was my favorite character because of his personality he was nether afraid to say what he wanted to say and he tried all of his challenges before he gave up.
This story is basically about a wizard who was the luckiest wizard in the land because he was so rich but he had no friends and all his family nether talked to him so much anymore sense he was a child and he wanted his own family and children but he couldn?t because he did not have a wife because every one in the land only fought he did not care about anyone except his self and that he was a mean rich wizard. Later on in the story is mostly about the wizard when he meets women who end being his life.
Read this story to find who his wife is? And why after all these years of people hating him why does this woman say she loves the wizard?
So if you want to find out what happened in the story you should read The Book of Enchantments. Also this book has many other adventure and short stories in The Book of Enchantments.

Will Hollywood's Gay Mafia Take Its Prop. 8 Anger Out on Sundance?
After a week of attention-getting protests against Proposition 8, gay activists and allies are ready for their next big target — and some, like blogger John Aravosis, are suggesting a boycott of the Sundance Film Festival. Sure, the Prop, 8-pushing Mormon Church has no direct ties to Sundance, but the Park City fest could be affected by a growing movement to boycott not just Mormon-owned enterprises but the entire, caffeine-fearing state of Utah in general. So, should Robert Redford be shaking in his stylish snow boots? We think not, for these reasons:The boycott talk is coming from outside the industry, not inside. So far, calls for a boycott are mainly coming from bloggers, not influential directors, producers, and actors. We don't see that changing, unless the cash-poor Harvey Weinstein decides to make a dramatic nonattendance statement as a way to save face (and plane airfare). A boycott big enough to matter is unlikely. The young filmmakers accepted into the festival would crawl over their own mothers to be there, and the Sundance hangers-on like Paris Hilton have never been bastions of activism. Without enough straight allies who could bear to part with their tickets to Park City, there's no chance to make a big dent, because... The gay presence at Sundance has waned. Back before your associate editor took up blogging and adopted the royal "we" at Defamer, I held a regular gig as The Advocate's film critic and attended several Sundances working the gay beat (not as hustler-ish as it sounds!). Though the film festival has a deservedly gay-friendly rep, it's gone through some pretty sparse queer years as of late. At the 2007 festival, the gay slate had so little on it that the centerpiece was a Chad Allen movie. If Sundance was boycotted by gay filmmakers and queer-themed films, the lineup wouldn't change that much. We're all about new and novel ways to protest (what's this we keep hearing about "A Day Without a Gay"?), but the Sundance idea seems DOA to us, especially when everybody's already got their plane tickets set for January. Next year might be a different story — there'll be a lot more lead time — but let's hope there won't be reason to protest then, OK? [Photo Credit: AP]

Not long ago, a member of the Citizen Exchange Corps (a people-to-people organization that cosponsors MOTHER EARTH NEWS' U.S.S.R. trips) attended a Soviet social function and was told by an Intourist official that Aeroflot, Russia's national airline, was boosting its fares by 15%. "I thought inflation was only for decadent, capitalist societies," the CEC representative teased.
Unfortunately, no area of the world seems immune to today's rising costs. (The People's Republic of China recently announced a 75% increase in its intracountry transportation rates!) And, as you're probably aware, airfares are spiraling rapidly. Pretty soon, if present trends continue, an overseas trip may simply be out of reach for the average American.
Happily, that's not quite the case yet ... so now's a good time to fulfill your yen to visit faraway lands, before current travel costs start to took like "the good ol' days." And when it comes to satisfying wanderlust, you just can't beat the three exciting foreign expeditions that MOTHER EARTH NEWS can offer you in 1980.
Soak Up Some Israeli Sun Power
If you want to travel to Israel, we know for a fact that you won't find a more-for-your-money trip than the 10-day "Solar Tour of Israel" (February 14-24), which we're co-sponsoring with solar-pioneering Jordan College and Solar Age (the official publication of the American section of the International Solar Energy Society). For the incredibly low price of $1,090, you get your round-trip airfare from New York to Israel ... first-class hotels in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Haifa, and Tiberias on the Sea of Galilee ... all ground transportation ... breakfasts ... and guided tours throughout your stay in Israel.
Aside from letting you flee the snows of winter and enjoy the sun-splashed shores of the Mediterranean, our tour will give you a chance to explore bazaars, modem Israeli culture, and ancient historical sites. But—even more important— you'll also get a chance to investigate the many ways this ebullient nation (which is an international leader in practical solar technology) has learned to utilize its annual 320 days of sunshine.
You can, according to your interests, study how electricity is generated by means of solar ponds ... the wide application of sun power to heating and cooling both residential and commercial buildings ... the important role solar energy education plays in universities and institutes ... the nighttime use of photovoltaics ... the extraction of potash from the Dead Sea ... and much more.
You'll also get to meet some of Israel's top alternative energy scientists ... including Dr. Harry Tabor, Dr. David Wolf,.Dr. Harry Hodes, and Dr. Joost Manassen. We'll be bringing solar experts with us, too. President DeWayne Coxon of Jordan College (who's a pioneer in solar energy education) and Gordon Vander Till, director of Jordan's energy programs, will be two of our knowledgeable group leaders.
Pick Sensational Soviet Plants
If you just can't get ready for a tour fast enough to join the trip to Israel, you've got a bit more time to consider MOTHER EARTH NEWS' next bargain: the "Herbs and Wild Plants of the U.S.S.R." tour (from May 18 through June 8). The journey will begin with a cram course in culture (works of art, grand palaces, music, and dance) in the "living museum" that is the city of Leningrad. Then—to start our search for some of the hundreds of unique herbs and wild plants that flourish in this part of the world—we'll head south to ever-blooming, semitropical Abkhasia on the Black Sea ... a healthful region famous for its botanical wonders and long-living inhabitants.
Next, we'll travel to the flower-strewn Caucasian foothills and the charming health spa of Pyatigorsk, which features 30 different hot and cold medicinal springs. If the weather permits, we'll also take a side trip to Mt. Elbrus, which—at 18,481 feet—is the highest mountain in Europe. In addition, we'll brave an ancient, high mountain pass—right through the heart of the Caucasus—on our way to Tbilisi, a city renowned for its champagne, wines, and friendly people.
Then we'll head east—almost to the China border—to the apple-tree-filled streets of Alma-Ata (a name that means "Father of Apples"), which is situated in a valley and surrounded on three sides by the majestic, perpetually snow-covered peaks of the Tien Shan mountains. You can expect the greenery to be in full bloom when we arrive, making the whole city look like one tremendous park. Though few Western visitors ever penetrate so far into this gigantic nation, those who do experience one of the Soviet Union's most picturesque areas.
After exploring the wild fruit trees that blanket the surrounding mountain slopes and visiting Issyk-Kul (where ordinary plants grow into giants), we'll fly north to Irkutsk and the crystal-clear waters of beautiful Lake Baikal ... the largest freshwater lake in the world. Abundant wild foods grow in the forests here, and Robin Woods—this past season's leader of MOTHER EARTH NEWS' Wild Foods and Foraging Seminar—will be along to help us identify them.
Then, as a topper, we'll end up in Moscow for a quick look at the exciting heart of the Soviet Union—which should be all decked out in its pre-Olympic finery—before we board a train for Helsinki, Finland to catch our flight home.
This incredible journey is all yours for $2,390, including round-trip airfare from New York.
Sample China's Fabulous Foods
MOTHER EARTH NEWS' next excursion, a "Food Production Tour of the People's Republic of China," will give you an opportunity to travel to China and investigate the methods by which this mysterious country is now able to feed one-fourth of the world's population. And, since our visit will take us—right at harvest time—into the nation's prime agricultural regions, it will turn out to be a "culinary tour" as well.
For example, in Peking (where we'll take in such "tourist" sights as the Great Wall, the Ming Tombs, the Summer Palace, etc.) you'll get a chance to taste the classical Mandarin cuisine. Later, as we move south, we'll dine on the hot and spicy "peasant" cooking found in Szechwan. Then, before we finish our 21-day tour (17 days of which will be spent in China itself), we'll visit Kwangchow.. . . famous for its marvelously textured Cantonese food.
This tour, sponsored in cooperation with the China Travel Center, will leave from the West Coast on September 9, and—after traveling to the cities we've mentioned and more—we'll exit through Hong Kong, where you'll have two days to explore some of the fabulous restaurants in that enchanting city.
On September 29, you can fly directly home or—if you have the time—you can extend your stay in Hong Kong or exercise your option to stop off in Manila or Seoul, Tokyo, Hawaii, and the West Coast at no extra airfare charge.
This tour is priced at $1,950 for land costs, a price which is all-inclusive in China, and covers accommodations and breakfasts in Hong Kong as well. Add to that your airfare which, at current rates, is $1,166.
Something Very Special
The object of all of MOTHER EARTH NEWS' Tours is to offer you the kinds of trips to special places that you couldn't easily put together on your own. And, while travel is usually educational, we think our "tours-that-teach" will provide not only a chance to share—with other MOTHER EARTH NEWS readers—the excitement and adventure of foreign lands, but some solid and practical knowledge that will enrich your life for years to come, too!
We hope to meet and travel with you!

NM Tech Hydrologist Receives Distinguished Service Award, Nov. 9, 2006
by Fred Phillips
Left to right: Marith Reheis, citationist; John Hawley with "jawbone" award; Hawley's wife Diane; and Fred Phillips, citationist.
SOCORRO, N.M., Nov. 9, 2006 – John W. Hawley recently received the 2006 Distinguished Service Award from the Quaternary Geology & Geomorphology Division of the Geological Society of America (GSA). Hawley is a New Mexico Tech adjunct faculty member with the research university's Department of Earth & Environmental Science (E&ES) and an emeritus staff member of the New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources.
The award was presented to Hawley in Philadelphia on October 24, at the annual meeting of the GSA. The citationists were Marith Reheis of the U.S. Geological Survey and Fred Phillips, a hydrology professor at New Mexico Tech.
Hawley completed a Ph.D. at the University of Illinois in 1962 and took a job with the U.S. Soil Conservation Service in southern New Mexico. During this period Hawley, along with Lee Gile and Robert Grossman, conducted the groundbreaking "Desert Soils Project" that laid the foundation for most future geological research involving desert soils. The three received the Kirk Bryan Award for Distinguished Research from the GSA in 1983 for this seminal work.
Hawley subsequently switched jobs to the New Mexico Bureau of Geology & Mineral Resources in Socorro, where he worked until retirement.
Among his most notable achievements was a study convincing The City of Albuquerque that its groundwater resources were much less extensive than had been estimated, and that the City should therefore shift primarily to surface-water supply.
Over the past 25 years, Hawley has contributed as both formal and informal advisor to the education of many New Mexico Tech graduate students.
"At 74 years old, Hawley remains more active as a geologist than many professionals half his age," Phillips said. "He continues to work as an independent consulting geologist. He is a legendary resource for knowledge of the geology of the Southwest and spends much of his time helping others with their research."
At the awards ceremony at the GSA meeting, Hawley received a custom-made award consisting of a fossil horse jaw attached to a walnut plaque. In honor of his legendary verbal accomplishments, the fossil was accompanied by an inscription reading: "To the champion jawboner of the Quaternary."

A couple of weeks ago I wrote a post about how we could recycle webinar recordings and use them for other purposes (Recycling webinars). Not long after that post was published I got an e-mail from a colleague at Karolinska Institute, one of Sweden's leading medical universities, with a film they had made to help teachers think about webinar methodology. The film reuses a webinar I had helped to produce as part of their EdX MOOC, Introduction to urology, in the autumn of 2015. The cooperation was part of a Nordic project on making more effective webinars (see the project site Effective webinars for lots of articles, toolkit and ideas) and the idea of running a webinar as part of a MOOC was one of our most challenging activities.
Karolinska Institute have now used excerpts from the webinar to demonstrate how you can make your webinars more interactive, using different layouts, polls, chat and presenters-only area as well as tips on methodology. The original recording is probably of little interest today but parts of it will now live on in the form of a new product. An excellent example to recycling educational material

(Reuters) - In a year in which sweeping tax reforms are on the table in several states, Louisiana's Bobby Jindal on Thursday became the first U.S. governor to offer a detailed plan to eliminate his state's income tax, a goal embraced by some conservatives.
Seen as a potential candidate for national office, the second-term Republican proposed eliminating Louisiana's personal income tax and its corporate franchise tax, which together generated $2.9 billion in tax receipts last year.
He called for raising the state sales tax to 5.88 percent from 4 percent, broadening the sales tax to apply to many services, and increasing cigarette taxes to $1.41 from 36 cents per pack. Last year, the state sales tax generated $2.6 billion.
Similar plans have been floated by Republicans in Nebraska, Kansas and North Carolina this year. Critics have said that expanding sales taxes hurts working class and poor families who spend more of their income on items subject to the tax.
Despite a strongly Republican legislature in Louisiana, Jindal's plan faces skepticism in some quarters.
The plan "will not even get out of the House of Representatives" because of the taxes it would raise, said C.B. Forgotston, a lawyer, political commentator and former legislative aide in Louisiana, who is often critical of Jindal.
The plan would need Democratic support to become law and Forgotston said that was unlikely to materialize because the bill does not increase overall revenues for the state.
Jindal's plan would extend the sales tax to some services, but it is expected to exempt a wide range of them, including healthcare, legal, construction, oil and gas services, education and possibly others.
The plan was presented to a joint state legislative committee. Jindal first floated the idea of swapping the income tax for a sales tax increase in January. His staff has been hashing out ways to do that for the past two months.
Many local governments impose fairly high sales taxes, and adding more to the state levy could be troublesome in a state that relies on tourist spending for much of its revenue.
The state's economy has been doing relatively well, with unemployment well below national average, which may also make a push for wholesale tax changes a tougher sell.
The plan drew praise from anti-tax groups. Patrick Gleason, an official at Washington, D.C.-based Americans for Tax Reform, said the plan would make the state's tax system more efficient and competitive, particularly for businesses.
In addition to ending some taxes and increasing others, the plan would make changes to Louisiana's tax system.
Jindal would create a three-judge tax court to hear all tax cases. He also proposes to unify state and local sales tax collection and auditing under one sales tax commission.
That would be needed for the state to begin collecting sales tax on online purchases if national legislation permitting that were to be approved in Washington, according to the proposal.
The Louisiana legislature will take up the plan in its session starting April 8.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – Trailing 4-3 with two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning, it looked as though UC Santa Barbra was going to have to settle for a split during Saturday afternoon's doubleheader against Cal Poly, but junior Keilani Jennings' solo home run tied the game and Jenessa Jeppesen's fifth hit of the day drove in the winning run in the bottom of the eighth as the Gauchos captured the sweep.
UCSB won game one, 4-1, before posting the 5-4 victory in game two. The three-game Big West Conference series will conclude on Sunday, May 5 at noon at Campus Diamond. The pairing with the Mustangs will mark the Gauchos' final home game of the 2012 season.
With the wins, UCSB improves to 26-28 on the season and 11-6 in Big West play. Cal Poly falls to 12-33 overall and 4-13 in league.
In the top of the third inning of game one, the Mustangs' leadoff batter, Cami Brown, swung at the first pitch and sent the ball to deep left field for a double. She was able to move to third when Nora Sobczak grounded out second base one out later. Celina Lafrades' ground ball hit through the right side scored Brown and gave Cal Poly the early edge.
The lead proved to be short lived. Jeppesen led off for the Gauchos in the bottom of the same inning and sent the first pitch over the center field fence to tie the game.
In the fourth, Jennings hit a single and was bunted over to second by Lainey DePompa. Due to an error by the Mustang catcher on the play, DePompa reached first safely and Jennings moved to third. Shelby Wisdom followed with an RBI single hit to left field, giving UCSB its first lead of the day. Lauren Boser bunted both runners over a base and one out later, McKenzie Kane hit an infield RBI single to put the Gauchos ahead, 3-1.
UCSB tacked on one more run in the sixth when Jessica Soria hit a bases-loaded single to right field to score Boser.
Wisdom (20-14) got the win in the circle after tossing the complete game. She allowed just one run on four hits. She walked one batter and struck out seven.
Game two was more of a seesaw battle. This time the Gauchos took the initial lead in the bottom of the second. DePompa led off with a base hit up the middle of the field and a beautiful sacrifice bunt by Wisdom sent the senior to second. She moved to third when Boser grounded out to the pitcher and came home when Jeppesen hit a single to center field.
The Mustangs quickly tied the game with Madi Vogelsang's solo homer in the top of the fourth inning.
In the bottom of the same inning, Wisdom led off with a single hit to right field. Boser laid down a sacrifice bunt to move Wisdom and Jeppesen's single hit to right field gave pinch runner DeJanee Moore time to move to third base. Soria drove in her second run of the day with a base hit to left field, putting UCSB ahead, 2-1.
The Mustangs responded with another run in the fifth when Whitley Gerhart drove Sobczak home from second base with a base hit to center field. Cal Poly was able to load the bases with two outs, but Wisdom got out of the jam to keep the score deadlocked at 3-3.
In the sixth, Brown drew a walk to lead off for the Mustangs, prompting a Gaucho pitching change. Andriana Collins came in to relieve Wisdom and got the first out on a sacrifice bunt by Kim Westlund. Sobczak followed with a base hit to center. One out later, Gerhart drove Brown home and put Cal Poly up, 4-3, with a single to right field.
Trailing by one with two outs in the seventh, Jennings came through with the late-game heroics as she hit her sixth home run of the season to tie the game and force extra innings.
Westlund and Sobczak hit consecutive one-out singles in the eighth, but Collins pitched her way out of trouble and kept the Gauchos in the game.
In the bottom of the eighth, Wisdom hit a double to right center field and was able to move to third on the throw. During the next at-bat, Boser was nailed on the back of her helmet with a pitch, putting runners on the corners with no outs. Jeppesen followed by sending a 3-2 pitch to the gap in shallow left center field, driving Wisdom home for the game-winning run.
Collins captured the win to improve on 6-14 season after tossing three innings of shutout relief. She allowed four hits while striking out three.
At the plate, Jeppesen led the Gauchos during the twin bill going 5-for-8 with a home run and three RBI. Soria went 4-for-8 on the day with two RBI and a run. Every Gaucho in the lineup recorded at least one hit across the two games.
Prior to Sunday's game, UCSB will honor its five seniors: Brooke Putich, Lainey DePompa, Jenny Liepman, Allison Taylor and Krista Cobb.

Ryan Hart (pictured) was practically done eating his Arby's roast beef sandwich when he bit into something hard and rubbery. The 14-year-old spit out the foreign discovery, examined it and, much to his disgust, he immediately knew it was part of someone's finger, according to the Associated Press.
"I was like, 'That (has) to be a finger.' I was about to puke. … It was just nasty."
The missing finger had apparently belonged to an employee at the establishment who had been working with a meat slicer. The worker had sliced her finger and immediate left without alerting anyone as to what had occurred, explains Steve Hall, the environmental health director for the Jackson County health department.
The Arby's got wind of the incident and released a press release apologizing for the mishap. John Gray, the food chain's spokesperson, told the Associated Press that the matter is still under investigation and assures the public that the site was shut down and sanitized thoroughly. Gray says that they have cooperated with health officials and have been green-lighted to remain open.
Meanwhile the injured employee was treated at a nearby hospital.
Hart's mother, Jamie Vail, thought her son was joking when he mentioned the incident.
Upon finding out that her son had realized that the object in the sandwich was in fact a piece of a finger, she immediately called 911 and met police at a health facility. Hart's blood was drawn and he was prescribed some medication.
The traumatized teen is fine, but his parents are still undecided as to whether they should let their 'fingers do the walking' to find a lawyer to consult with regarding this situation.
Teen Bites Into Piece Of Finger In Arby's Sandwich was originally published on newsone.com
