Calvin Pryor is the starting safety on the Louisville Cardinal football team and he has an interesting name on his Twitter handle. This is kind of a reach in my opinion but his name is @Cocaine_25. The account is locked which is smart for a football player. I wouldn't want anyone to see what I was saying if I were famous at all. Any bets on whether or not Louisville Cardinal Head Coach shuts this down?
According to KSR, Louisville's five core values are:
1) Be honest
2) Treat women with respect
3) No drugs
4) No stealing
5) No weapons

Handy when debugging, but not the best quality. After a couple of months of very gentle use, most of the wires are broken. So, I agree with tah997, resolder and add a blob of hot glue.

Revision as of 21:23, 30 March 2010
Delgobe's Collection has about 4,890 families. This collection is on 65 microfilm reels. The first reel, 353099, contains a full alphabetical listing of the families which are included. These are, almost without exception, the nobility of Norway and use non-patronymic names.
Most of these families have their roots in another country such as Denmark, Germany, The Netherlands, or Pommerania. They came to Norway as merchants, clergy, and military officers among other occupations. They intermarried or sometimes made a fortune by marrying a rich widow. An article by Ida Bull entititled Immigrating Merchants to Trondheim in the 18th Century tells about three such families. Flensburg Immigrants to Trondheim were merchants and built up Norwegian trade with Europe.
The pedigrees and descendant charts in the Delgobe collection are mostly all handwritten and can be difficult to follow. However, there is a wealth of information given here that may have been left out of printed materials about the family.

ioSafe Solo: the world's first affordable high capacity disaster proof hard drive
By Mike Hanlon
January 14, 2009
January 14, 2009 Ya call that a hard disk? This is a real hard disk - it'll withstand fires up to1550 degrees Fahrenheit and can be submersed in salt water for three days and it'll still protect its precious data. The ioSafe Solo offers disaster protection to a price range that everyone can afford with capacities from 500GB for US$150 through to 1.5TB for US$300 based on the introductory pricing and it's an enormously compelling proposition if you have data that's irreplaceable. It isn't portable, with a weight of 15 pounds and dimensions of 5x7.1x11 inches but it's just the ticket for that priceless customer database, or the family photo album.
Seen at CES this week, we were mightily impressed with the peace of mind offered by the ioSafe Solo without paying a premium. ioSafe has built its business as a provider of disaster-proof hardware and disaster recovery services, so all the hallmarks of quality are also there. There's no weakness in the specs, with a USB 2.0 interface, disk speed of 7200 RPM and a transfer rate of 480 Mbps.Share

Canstar Community News - ONLINE EDITION
Taking on the Copper Mountain
This story is the second in a two-part series about Colorado. You can find the first part here.
I've always imagined cowboys came from Colorado, so I was delighted to meet Ray from Del's Triangle 3 Ranch near the tiny town of Clark.
Ray has resided in the Yampa Valley for six generations, and is as real a cowboy you could ever hope to meet.
He wore a full-length tan-coloured leather coat, weathered cowboy hat, and a great big smile. He had a warm personality, cheeky spirit, and a lifetime of stories spanning his 76 years. An ardent skier, Ray was on the US ski jumping team at the 1960 Olympics, and ski racing coach for 40 years. These days you'll find him on backcountry hills every Sunday, indulging in his two passions — hilltops and horses.
Our guided horseback ride ventured into the forested hillside framed by snow-covered aspen trees, through a dazzling wintry landscape with views of distant mountain vistas. My horse Razzie was a great sport, allowing me to take pictures with both hands on the camera and off the saddle. She could have thrown me off easily, so I'm glad we got along.
Cross-country skiing is also popular in Colorado, and the brand new Haymaker Nordic Centre just opened outside of Steamboat Springs. They have equipment rentals, a cozy lodge with bar and grill, and eight kilometres of impeccably groomed classic and skate skiing trail over gently rolling terrain ideal for beginners and intermediates.
The best way to warm up after a cold day outside is with a hot dip. The Yampa Valley contains several geothermal sites, including Strawberry Park Hot Springs. Surrounded by natural rock and dense forest, it has two mineral water pools to soak in, and at night, amazing stargazing to soak up.
Then it was on to Copper Mountain, 120 kilometres west of Denver, and one of the region's largest ski resorts. The elevation is 2,926 metres at base and 3,767 metres at summit, making it the highest mountain I've ever visited. However, this mattered not, because I wasn't going anywhere near the top. My Everest to conquer was the lowest run possible.
Copper Mountain's progressive terrain naturally increases in difficulty from east to west. So I naturally headed to the easternmost chair lift, and the run called Roundabout. This was perfect training ground, as the slope varied between almost flat to gentle grade. It allowed me to start toying with speed, yet still level out easy enough if the world started moving too fast. I made it down seven times, each run a little faster and more confident than the previous, before safely declaring my skiing adventure a success. Whew!
Copper Village has many things to try, like mini donuts covered in peanut butter and chocolate, outdoor ice skating, zip lining, snowshoeing, four tubing runs — which are way more fun that you'd think — and quite possibly the coolest indoor playground on the planet.
Woodward at Copper is a training facility with jumps into foam pits, skate bowls, riding ramps, spring floor, and trampolines. It's paradise for every 15-year-old with a BMX bike or skateboard, or every 20-year-old with an athletic goal.
It was here this 40-something-year-old quite possibly discovered a new talent, after finding it absolutely exhilarating bouncing higher and higher on the trampolines, doing seat drops, and channeling her inner Olympian.
And even though at this age, Olympic hopes have long since faded away, still, an old girl can dream.

IGS shelving
I am about to purchase IGS shelving. I would like a 2 light 4 shelf unit but am concerned that the plants might be too close to the lights. Can I conpensate for this by using lights on the bigger plants for a shorter period of time. If this will not work, I can get a 3 shelf but would like to accomodate as many plants as possible. Thanks for any thoughts you might have.
Kathy -
If you want to accommodate many plants and have space and you are not worried about an industrial appearance - you can get about 3 times cheaper Metro shelving (Sams' club, Costco - $75, reduce to 3 usable shelves - 4 shelves including the very top, 3 48' shoplights with 2 tubes, timer and the extention strip with outlets - for about 1/3 of the price.
The only good application for 4 shelf would be if you grow minis and semi-minis. (I understand you want Sunlighter shelf with 4 24 inches lights.) They would really look good and grow well.
Standard violets - you even wouldn't be able to see them well. They will be hiding under the shelves - and you want to see and enjoy them all the time.
Thing is - the standards grow 12 inches wide, large - can be twice as large - so how many plants you can place on this shelf without squashing them together?
To answer your question - yes, you can adjust the light time so they will be OK.
I made the same mistake already. Just doesn't look right.
So - 3 shelves for standards, 4 shelves - for minis.
Good luck
Either Lowe's or Home Depot or maybe both, have this shelving but in white, so it doesn't look quite so industrial, but I don't think it has wheels. I find the wheels are a plus for me, because I roll one end out to get at the plants in the back of the shelving a little easier. I totally agree with Irina, way cheaper than IGS.
Those post that the shelves are on that come from Sams/Home Depot are standard post and can receive a wheel/caster after you pull out the plug in the end. Purchase the caster from the home warehouse places.
It may take a bit of elbow grease to get them in but it can be done.
One other bit of advice: when you are putting in the bottom shelf, make sure you leave enough room to get the vacuum cleaner under it!

Pierce's Creek Bouldering All bouldering200 routes in crag

Did you know that you can create an account to record, track and share your climbing ascents? Thousands of climbers are already doing this.
Stats & downloads
Get directions to here using Google Maps
An area developed in the main by Justin Ryan and Chris Warner after the Canberra bushfires, Pierce's Creek has hundreds of discrete boulder problems over a wide-ranging area. Unfortunately since the fires the area has seen consistent regrowth of pine and blackberry, rendering climbs difficult to find and the terrain rugged. Only the most intrepid are likely to climb here without a guide (and understandably), but there are still a lot of problems that survive and are good quality.
A note about topos: the darker numbers on topos are those that were checked post the 2003 fires and found to be still in climbable condition.
Drive towards and then past the Cotter from town. You'll go through a few switchbacks and then continue past the Cotter dam. Look out on your right for Laurel Camp Road. Don't turn at the Pierce's Creek Forest sign - that's too early; continue on a bit further. Directions for individual areas can be found at the area level.
Quite a few climbs out here have been chipped, and some are completely chipped. That said, there's enough problems here; please don't chip or drill any more.
Pierce's Creek was developed in the main by Chris Warner and Justin Ryan, with Chris developing the excellent guides that have been used as a basis for this guide. A number of other strong Canberra climbers have contributed, including Clinton Szady and Andrew Bull.

nail fungus from grungy garden gloves?
Here's something gross for y'all to weigh in on.... I have nail fungus on one toe and I'm sure it is from wearing my horrible, ratty garden shoes too long. They had holes in them and my feet would be almost dirtier after I wore them.
Now I am thinking I might have the beginning of a problem on my fingernails. They are peeling in layers and look just a little strange (not like the disgusting photos I've googled.)
But, like with my shoes, I tend to keep my gardening cover-up stuff too long. My gloves are kind of gross. It makes sense to me that all sorts of microbes live in the soil. Gloves get damp, hot, and dark.
Has anyone else experienced something similar? If so, I'd love to hear what you did.
I can't comment on that but I will say that I always get gloves that can be washed in the washing machine (mostly because of poison ivy exposure). I throw them in when I am washing jeans or similar non-delicates and then let them air dry.
Best of luck.
Oh man, bagsmom. First it's critters in your attic, now fungi on your nails. I recommend seeing a dermatologist, asking the office if this is something the doc is expert in.
Let us know how you're doing. Me, I'm still trying to trap rats in my kitchen.........disgusting creatures, thought they were all dead and one gnawed a bunch from a fab apple in a bowl on the counter. IT'S WAR HERE IN SUGAR HILL.
I have used tea tree oil with great success on my big toe that had fungus several years ago. I saw it at CVS in the vitamin aisle. It is in about a 4 oz. bottle, but it lasts a long time. It is good on scrapes,etc. Very earthy smelling, but it works. I apply it with a Q- tip.
Thanks, guys. It really appears to just be peeling nails. No gross color or thickening or anything. It's probably age. But in case it is fungal, I will check with the dermatologist. I think these things are easier to take care of the earlier they are caught.

-Very inexpensive HMO health care plan
-Telecommuting option for some jobs
-Competitive salary (but slightly low), good bonus structure
-Company embraces social media and encourages employees to coalesce
-Letter culture. Too much emphasis on degrees and academic accomplishments and not enough on expertise and experience. Everyone puts letters after their names (John Doe, MBA). Greatly divisive elitist culture, Stifles relationship building.
-Shortage of inspiring leaders; surplus of managers and whip-crackers.
-HR essentially non-existent. Virtual only and run by skeleton crew of admins
-Hiring/recruiting process one of the worst in America. They should give "I survived the BSC hiring process" to those who get hired. Seriously.
-Internal training opportunities in areas of leadership, communication, etc non -existent
-Self serving culture where insecure managers do not recognize, share, or shine light on great ideas
-Many departments crippled by legacy software and systems. Some still using DOS apps
Get real. Get down in the trenches and instead of doing data deep dives, try doing some culture deep dives to see how dept. managers are treating their people. There is a huge disconnect between what companys says are its values and how many leaders actually act.

Blue Shield is family friendly.Cons
This is a company where you will not be rewarded for being proactive, going above and beyond or thinking outside the box. It is very siloed and the teams do not know how to work together.

I sense there is a typo in your question whereby your statement "I am not being sued..." meant to say "I am NOW being sued. In that case, your current status as unemployed is irrelevant if your breached the Non-Compete prohibition after leaving the employer with whom you entered into the Non-Compete.

A blockbuster effort that performed significantly better than it did last year when it was exhibiting some reduction is the 2010 St.-Joseph Francois de Tournon. This wine, which was so tight and difficult to evaluate last year, is brilliant. A dense purple color is followed by notes of graphite, pen ink, blackberries and blueberries, and hints of raspberries, smoke and subtle oak. This full-bodied, classic, monumental St.-Joseph was aged completely in small barrels. The good news is that 1,500 cases are just hitting the market. My instincts suggest 1-2 years of bottle age will be beneficial, and it is capable of lasting 15 or more years. Don't miss it! (RP)
(12/ 2012)
Bright purple. Dark berry preserves, floral pastilles and and exotic pit fruit quality on the highly fragrant nose and in the mouth. Powerful, palate-staining black and blue fruit flavors are lifted by juicy acidity and pick up a smoky nuance with air. Shows excellent energy and focus on the finish, with dusty mineral and spice notes lingering.
(4/ 2013)
Offers a mouthfilling, velvety feel, with plum compote, hoisin sauce, and blackberry pâte de fruit flavors, supported by a smoldering charcoal spine. Presents lots of bass, but a floral note adds a hint of treble on the finish. (Web Only--2013)

|Bratislava, Slovakia
|2.35 km2 (0.91 sq mi)
|Bratislava Region
|Karlova Ves
|0 (as of 2012)
Sihoť is the largest river island on the Danube in Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, located in the district of Karlova Ves.[1][2] The island lies between the main flow of the Danube to the north and the parallel channel Karloveské rameno to the south, between Devínska cesta in Bratislava and the Austrian border. It contains a culturally protected water source supplying tap water to a large portion of Bratislava citizens, as well as numerous nearby villages.
Under communism, access to the island was restricted due to its proximity to the Austrian border and the only access bridge to the island was guarded by soldiers. Access to the island remained forbidden even after the end of communism and today, access is highly restricted. Since 15 May 2012, the island is a protected area[3] and there is currently an initiative to declare the island a national park and connect it with the neighboring Danube-Auen National Park in Austria.[4]
In the past, Sihoť was called Käsmacherinsel in German and Syrársky ostrov in Slovak. The name is derived from the dwellings of peasants who processed milk. It was the largest Danube island in all of the Hungarian kingdom.
The area was inspected by Bernhard Salbach from Dresden in 1881–1882 and the island was found to be a good water source. Salbach also designed the system supplying drinking water to the historical center of the city, which remains operational until today.[5] Bratislava established its first waterworks in the 1880s, becoming one of the first cities in Europe to build a water supply system.[6] The first pilot well was dug on Sihoť island in 1882 and it is preserved as a historical monument until today. After the properties of the water were confirmed to be sound, construction work was ceremonially launched. Besides the well, the first facilities of the waterworks included a pumping station at Karlova Ves and a reservoir at Somársky vrch. A regular supply of high-quality drinking water has been provided ever since. The main waterworks were built in 1885.
The 235 hectare-area of the island belongs to the company Štátne Lesy, which is conducting timber harvesting on the island despite the area being protected.[2] All water wells, water supply infrastructure and all buildings and roads on the island belong to the Bratislava Water Company.
The island is part of the hunting ground Devínska Kobyla which is casually used by the hunters for the last 60 years, despite the area being protected.[2] In 2007, the head of Štátne Lesy Jozef Minďáš signed a contract with hunting organization Klenovica giving it the right to hunt on the island for 10 years for the fee of 440 euro per year. Animals being hunted on the island include wild boar, red deer and ducks.
Flora and fauna[edit]
Most of the island is forested with the remnants of the primeval riparian forest that is partially flooded during high water levels on the Danube each year and during extreme events, most of the island becomes submerged.
At least since 1886, public access to the island was largely prohibited due to the protection of the drinking water supply system. Due to low human activity, wildlife is abundant on the island. Sihoť features a variety of protected plants including Snowdrops, Lily of the Valley and Lesser celandine. The ecosystem is largely intact, save for some limited legal logging.
Animals include: beavers, wild boar, red deer and ducks.

A number of previous studies suggest that routine consumption of low-fat dairy products can be effective in helping to reduce blood pressure. Huifen Wang, from Tufts University (Massachusetts, USA), and colleagues studied 2,197 adults in the offspring cohort of the Framingham Heart Study who did not have high blood pressure at the study's start. Subjects were surveyed for dietary habits, tand followed for blood pressure along with other measures. On the baseline food-frequency questionnaire, 44% of the participants reported that they ate yogurt at least once a month. During the 14 years of follow-up, blood pressures rose and 913 of the participants developed hypertension. Yogurt intake rose too, and those with high intake -- more than 2% of their daily calories from yogurt -- were less likely to develop hypertension. The odds ratio of incident hypertension was 0.69 compared with individuals who didn't eat yogurt, and systolic blood pressure rose less in the high-consumption group as well -- by 0.19 mmHg less than among nonconsumers. People who ate at least the equivalent of one serving every three days were 31% less likely to develop high blood pressure than those who ate no yogurt at all.

50. When Every Drop Counts
Donating your blood can actually do you more good than anyone else who might receive it. Excess iron is thought to be a leading contributor to cancer and heart attacks. An excessive level of iron in your body is one of the most potent ways that your body oxidizes, or prematurely ages (think of your body as an apple, and the iron causing the discoloration when the fruit is exposed to air).

This apartment was perfect for my needs: clean, stylish interior with super comfy beds and futon. Five minute cab ride downtown, and easy access to everything one would need. The apartment complex is quiet and people were friendly but mostly kept to them selves, there's good privacy, though there was someone doing construction early in the morning one of the days of my stay.
Everything else I would say is already listed in the description which is entirely accurate. This place is awesome for a quick stop in Austin or a longer stay. I would happily return to stay here again.
The place is just as it looks...cute and comfortable. Location is safe, quiet, and not too far from downtown. I'd definitely stay here again!!
Kathee's apartment feels like the stylish, welcoming apartment you wish you had in Austin—if only you lived in Austin and had Kathee's great taste and style. Plenty of food and hanging out options right by her, including the epic collection of signs on the restaurants along the nearby South Congress strip. And downtown with its full range of food, nightspots is just a few min away by bus or car. Apartment is kept really nice and has everything you'd need. Kathee was available for questions and is lovely to talk to.
Kathee was very easy to communicate and coordinate with. Plus, her place is great!!! So cute! Love the artwork, and the location couldn't be more convenient.
Kathee's apartment was great! Perfect location, beautiful and clean. Couldn't have been better. Would definitely stay here again.
Kathee was a great host. Check-in was super smooth, and she left a very handy check list of things to know about the apartment. The apartment was very well-situated for us (we were in town for the marathon), and was very clean and well stocked. She also offers "little touches" that add up to being a great host -- nice soaps in the bathrooms, chocolates, tea and coffee. Her towels and linens are also very nice. I've airbnb'd several times before and she was one of the best, her communication was excellent. I highly recommend Kathee's apartment.
Kathee was very responsive and helpful, and the apartment was exactly as advertised. It was a very comfortable stay and a great landing pad to explore Austin. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others!
Kathee was awesome as a host with very specific guidelines and instructions on everything we needed in the apartment. She also was very responsive when we had a late night question on how to operate the laundry machines. The apartment itself was very comfortable and clean - great neighborhood with lots of things to do in walking distance. Great experience overall and would highly recommend!
Kathee was awesome! Very accommodating and the apartment was beautiful in a great location!
This apartment was excellent and exactly what we were after. I love the location that it's close enough to downtown but also close to highway entries.
Kathee was great at letting us know everything that was required and the welcome sheet laid out any questions that we forgot to ask.
I would recommend this apartment for anyone coming to Austin.
These guests were very nice, very communicative, and self-sufficient. They left rejuvenated--we love folks who "get it"!
Was easy to communicate with and left the place in tip top shape. I would love to have her and her family back anytime!
Thanks Bea, we had a great time!
Kathee was a wonderful guest. She left the Airstream clean and neat, which we always appreciate, and was easy to communicate with. She is welcome back any time and we highly recommend her to all the other hosts out there!
A great guest!
Kathee was the perfect guest. Communication with her was easy and clear. She was respectful of all "house rules." She left the place at least as tidy and clean (if not cleaner) than she found it. I highly recommend her to future hosts.
I stayed at Kathee's with a friend during SXSW. Her house was less than a 10 minute walk away to the SXSW activities and there were other SXSW attendees staying in another room. Our room was just what we needed and Kathee was such a great host that she would cook us breakfast each morning before we headed out!
Kathee is a great person and a great host. She's friendly and knows Austin inside and out. Her apartment is hip and mod and clean and well organized. She knows all the best bars and restaurants and breakfast taco hangouts. She won't let you down!
I stayed at Kathee's for SXSW. The room - which I think is normally a little girl's room - was decorated very cutely, and was nice and comfortable. Kathee was sympathetic to my flight delays, and even left out a glass of water for me. The house was an easy walk to the convention center and SXSW activities.

Grape Vines
I need help, I have purchased two grape vines from a local nursery and I have no idea if the ones I have chosen were a good choice or not. I want to train one which is a Concord grape vine to grow on a 4 foot high fence that had a grape vine there that my mother planted years ago and never gave grapes and was just growing wild. It was killed this year by termites, they ate the whole trunk it crumbled in my hand when I grabbed it and they all poured out on my hand. The other is a Black Spanish vine and I want to put it on a trellis which I will build later on. The Black Spanish one has two shoots growing out of one pot and I want to know if I should let them grow together and let them go in two different directions or should I kill one of them? One of them has a pice that is damaged and I don't know what to do to these vines. I am sorry if I am not using the correct terminology as well. Please someone help me out.

This is the view, looking south from the Camas Creek Bridge (the western entrance to Glacier National Park), at the Northfork of the Flathead River. This is a favorite fishing spot because the water is deep in the middle of the river, but runs slowly in the shallows at the edge. Across the river is Huckleberry Mountain, which is part of the Apgar Mountains, that form the western border of Glacier Park.

Ohio Governor's Police Panel Calls For More Oversight
A task force studying Ohio police and community relations has narrowed down list of potential recommendations.
Ohio Governor John Kasich's proposals for a new state budget and the biggest tax changes in four decades are in the spotlight again this week as state legislators continue committee hearings.
Gov. John Kasich says Ohio Auditor Dave Yost should be able to audit the public dollars spent on the state's job creation program, but has no right to audit private contributions.
Owners, employees, and other backers of some of Ohio's 800 internet cafes and sweepstakes stores defended their industry before state lawmakers on Tuesday.
Statehouse Democrats used a legislative hearing to argue against the two-year budget proposed by Governor John Kasich.
Several Statehouse committees will begin work on Gov. Kasich's proposed budget, ideas for curbing school violence, and the attendance-keeping practices in Ohio school districts.
More than 100 Ohio gun owners rallied at the Ohio Statehouse Friday.
As Republican Gov. John Kasich prepares to release a new proposal for funding Ohio's school, a liberal policy group is touting a new study they say shows the current state budget has been a disaster for schools.
Workers, employers and lobbyists for Ohio's growing oil and gas industry are descending on the Statehouse to tout the industry's economic benefits.
Of the 132 state lawmakers sworn for the new General Assembly, 18 are there for the first time.
State lawmakers started their new two-year session at the Statehouse Monday. Both parties say they'll get to work right away.

At Large
Class Act
French Justice Minister Rachida Dati does Sarah Palin one better, in more ways than one.
What if the liberals put an unmarried woman on the top of the ticket and then she announced she was pregnant and did not want to talk about it? Do you think they would talk about it? Do you think they would talk about it with the cruel and vicious venom with which they talk (if talk is the word) about Governor Palin and her family?
To the degree you define your deepest values by the way you look at women, or even if you are merely concerned with the "woman question" as a policy issue, you have to find Rachida Dati, France's Minister of Justice, interesting.
The Justice portfolio was previously held by men with names like Duport-Dutertre, Danton (the same), Courvoisier (the liqueur family), Bosque de Beaumont, Mitterrand (who else), Debre, Joxe, Badinter, and so on, names that you will likely find in the rolls of the top schools, the most expensive clubs, and the telephone listings of Paris's best neighborhoods. There have been scores, hundreds, of Justice Ministers in the several French Republics, including in recent years some of the gentler sex, and none of them until last year grew up in what we would call a project, one of 11 children of immigrant parents from North Africa.
None of them have been single mothers who tell reporters to get lost when they ask her who be the he.
RACHIDA DATI FINDS HERSELF in a paradoxical position, a very high ranking member of a conservative government that is trying to lead a historically and culturally rich nation out of quicksands of its own making and that are, to a degree, the reason Miss Dati is who she is. The same quicksands function in all modern advanced societies, including our own. They are due to the difficulties inherent in managing one of the most characteristic trends in liberal democracies, the trend toward equality. Equality leads to inclusiveness, which at the simplest level means the extension of the franchise and at the more complex levels takes us into all the difficulties of integration -- bringing individuals originally left out of running things (not just government but the economy and the culture generally) into the club.
Modern societies passed anti-discrimination laws and promptly turned them into positive discrimination rules. These rules, which in the U.S. we call affirmative action, are not in principle objectionable if we start from the premise that democracy should tend toward equality. In practice they have created problems of variable intensity in every society that has tried to apply them.
Miss Dati represents the famous French meritocratic egalite that her boss, President Nicolas Sarkozy, himself the child of immigrants, promotes. To the Sarkozists, real equality, based on competitive conditions and opportunity, is sorely needed to revitalize economic life in a country softened by welfare-statism. Because it slows mobility and innovation, the welfare state, paradoxically, reinforces class privileges.
The Minister bristles at references to her as a "Muslim woman"; quite consistently with her own parcours (career), she insists she is a French woman, and a lawyer, and a public figure intent on restoring to their full meaning the values of the Republic, which erect a firewall between church and state that makes ours look like a screen door.
She not only does not want, for public purposes, to be identified as a Muslim, she is not a practicing Muslim. The reference to her religion and gender hints, fairly or not, that she owes to her success at least in part to them -- a nod toward France's multicultural quicksand. Nicolas Sarkozy, as Interior Minister in the Chirac government, created institutions that would formalize Islam's relation to the Republic. Intended as a way to undercut radicals who argue that Muslims should consider themselves a state within the French state, Sarkozy's measures gave Islam privileges that could not but lead to suspicions that Muslims are judged as Muslims rather than on the basis of their individual CVs, and it is not impossible that a plan designed to promote assimilation will end up doing just the opposite, reinforce group-think among French Muslims. The corollary is that people without bias are forced to think, How did he get here and what does he really feel about the Republic? Or: Should I hire this one in order not to be accused of prejudice? In Miss Dati's case this has led some conservatives to criticize her perhaps to excess precisely in order to show she is not being held to lower standards.
"Community politics" is exactly what the "values of the Republic" reject. At the same time, Sarkozy encourages religion. What worries him is the decline of Catholic practice in France. Himself Catholic, he is well aware of arguments suggesting that Islam is mining his country (and Europe) from within.
NOW INJECT INTO THIS politically and socially complex environment a woman who wants to be a mother and says so and at the same time rejects all outside interest in what she calls her "complicated personal life."
Rachida Dati, who worked for Sarkozy before he was elected president and is clearly one of the favorites among his ministers, knows that Muslims, even those (some ten million) who benefit hugely from living in a free society like France, are not well-inclined toward single motherhood. Even in ordinary circumstances they are not known for kindness toward women. Fadela Amara, another of Sarkozy's favorites, who occupies a sub-ministerial position responsible for urban problems (in practice this means zones of immigrant concentration), several years ago created an organization called Ni putes ni soumises ("Neither whores nor slaves") to protest against the way Muslim men -- I am generalizing, of course, and know of many exceptions -- regard women.
People change, but Muslim boys from Africa in France change less, or less quickly, than girls. This is not a glib impression, but the consensus among many studies that have tracked school performance, career success, and other indications of integration. Women like Amara and Dati evoke plenty of admiration in the neighborhoods whence they come, but also, without question, a good deal of resentment, even hatred. Boys and young men who prohibit their sisters from attending gym class and watch their mothers (and fathers) slave away so they can be kept in the latest duds playing with the latest gadgets know viscerally that these women are role models for said sisters. The whole business threatens to undercut the practices that may (though I think, frankly, may not) have had some justification in the village but certainly are dysfunctional in 21st century France.
One can see why this makes the French, and not just the Muslim men among them, uneasy. There has been a running debate for 20 years between espousers of the values of the Republic and proponents of community-politics. There is, however, a certain unspoken consensus at the top, cutting across left and right, that would prefer not to deal with the questions raised by this debate, because basically it leaves the traditional elites in charge, regardless of what they say. What this government is saying is that demography will not let us take the easy way out. We must decide what sort of society we are and what are the terms for being part of it.
COMPLICATING MATTERS is Sarkozy's "vulgarity," his "arrivisme," which offends the better sorts and substitutes dislike of the man for serious debate.
Sarkozy himself takes a kind of in-your-face pleasure in acting like a slob, openly text-messaging during an audience with Pope Benedict and saying out loud that one term in the presidency is enough because the money's elsewhere. You almost want to think he is practicing a perverse humor by way of showing the French they take themselves too seriously. At the same time, he has laid out a reform program as ambitious as anything since de Gaulle's time, and there is an element of self-inflicted wounding (somewhat like Nixon) that gets in the way of assessing the president's aims on their own merits.
Like her boss, Rachida Dati appears to carry into public life the attitude of "Our turn, you SOB's, and we'll remember who crosses us." Or more simply, she, like him, has an attitude.
This sort of combativeness, like her loyalty, is understandable. But one readily recognizes the risks of her situation. She wants to live one of these complicated elite French lives (as does the president), but at the same time she wants to shake up these complicated French elites and the contradictions that have led France into a complicated multicultural mess from which they must extract themselves.
Rachida Dati is, no doubt, perfectly right to say that motherhood is good. And she is quite within her rights to say that in this case fatherhood is no one's business other than -- maybe -- a certain Monsieur Mystere. Though she reacts with a brutal temper to the slightest hint of condescension even when it is really closer to ordinary courtesy, she allowed her entourage to let the press know that at 42 she felt she was running out of time and there were unspecified hints of tragic accidents in the family way in the past.
She knows single motherhood is not exactly applauded in the Muslim community. (Truth be told, it will create additional headaches for her security detail.) Jealously guarding her private life, she cannot help but set an example. Without suggesting to others, including girls born into the Muslim community, that this is what modern society expects, the way she is handling it is nonetheless a way of insisting that this is what modern society accepts. And she, born and bred in France, will treat public references to her as a "Muslim woman" with all the contempt they deserve.
This, indeed, is arguably the strongest, toughest, hardest battle in the Sarkozy reform program. If he and his government can restore, as they say they want to, and extend, and expand, and build upon, those famous "values of the Republic" which brook no differences in the standards by which French citizens are regarded and rewarded, they will, above and beyond all the potshots at "vulgarity," give something big to their compatriots, and some day they will be thanked. #
