Matt Welch at CNN.com: "Alarmed at Government Shutdown? Exhale"
piece arguing that federal shutdowns are not particularly significant, and may even produce some beneficial ends through irresponsible means. Column starts like this:
Over at CNN.com's Opinion section, I have aThe first thing to remember about federal government shutdowns is that they do not matter very much.
History does not now recall the three Democrat-led shutdowns during the Carter administration over using Medicaid dollars to fund abortions, even though their combined 28 days will almost certainly dwarf the Great Impasse of October 2013.
Even the most famous modern shutdown, the 21-day Newt Gingrich/Bill Clinton standoff of 1995-96, had effects that were felt most acutely by comparatively well-off federal workers, not their taxpayer bosses.
A recent Congressional Research Service summary of that event included among its headline impacts stuff like "National Institute of Standards and Technology was unable to issue a new standard for lights and lamps that was scheduled to be effective January 1, 1996, possibly resulting in delayed product delivery and lost sales." Probably the worst thing back then was that passports for Americans and visas for foreigners went unprocessed for three weeks, taking a temporary bite out of the tourism industry.
So when President Barack Obama says the shutdown will "throw a wrench into the gears of our economy" and put "the American people's hard-earned progress at risk," it is appropriate to treat such claims with skepticism. As we saw during the run-up to the March 1 sequestration trims in federal spending, politicians are incentivized by self-interest and unconstrained by shame in maximizing the hyperbole about what may happen if their ability to collect and redistribute our money is impeded even a little bit.
None of this, however, means that the shutdown is good politics.

Maybe we will get lucky, the shut down will last over a month, and we'll see congress critters slapping each other with empty gloves, like in the olden days of yor.
"You, sir, are a cad!"
*slap*I can dream...
Why not hope for full brawls, like we ocasionally see from Asia?
In Turkey the parties position their beefiest legislators in the aisle to act as blockers when the opposition attempts a flying wedge attack to seize the podium from an enemy party's speaker.
Duels. I have to believe that fiscally conservative politicians will generally have better aim.
I tend to agree. Bullets aren't free, you know.
That and campaigning for gun control every election cycle has got to cramp your range time.
I'm not alarmed. I do think it's a good example of why the government shouldn't be in charge of anything important; they obviously aren't competent or responsible enough to run a hot dog cart.
There's always money in the banana stand.
I am alarmed that this is what passes for a government shutdown.
Don't matter? Tell that to that old lady hiking in Arizona or Colorado or wherever the fuck who is lost and the GOP federal government shutdown is leaving to die stranded in the wilderness.
I have to assume that it's also "Not looking for her because of shutdown" as well as "actively stopping anyone else from looking for her". Just a guess, though, and I'm cynical that way.
as well as "actively stopping anyone else from looking for her
Admittedly haven't RTFA, but that's my guess, too. S&R is largely a volunteer effort - scouts, community members, volunteer S&R specialists with S&R dogs.
The comments were massively disappointing. No derpage of note to be found anywhere.
How long has it been up?
There is a bit but nothing crazy. I love this comment:
You think there is no cost to keeping open air memorials open?
You already acknowledge that there are people who will if given the opportunity deface or destroy moments, yet want to keep these open 24 hours a day without anyone watching them? (Or more accurately you want someone to watch them who is not getting paid to do so?)
(Yeah they didn't stop it the one time and it made the news, how many times have they stopped people from defacing it, that didn't make the news...) -
No acknowledgement that they are still paying people to barricade out visitors. These thugs could, you know, be instead making sure no one defaces the monuments.
I fucking hate these moronic TEAM fucks.
But they will pay people to erract barricades and watch over if people jump over them.
This rock keeps away tigers.
I got into it with a Prog friend yesterday, before most of the hysteria even got going, and dropped the line of "this is where the government punishes people for not supporting the right people."
He called it spin.
I'm thinking if the cryer holds out, it becomes obvious that it really is about punishing people.
Is it the role of government to punish citizens for not supporing the right people?
Is there a law against not supporting the right people?
If the government already knows who the right people are, why do we bother with elections and crap?
Of course it's the role of government to punish people for not supporting His Majesty!
You'll make a great prog yet!
Is it the role of government to punish citizens for not supporing the right people?
Even if they do support the right people, once they've outlived their usefulness, it's off to the gulags.
Is there a law against not supporting the right people?
It's somewhere in the permutations and umbrellas of the Social Contract!
If the government already knows who the right people are, why do we bother with elections and crap?
They need to know who to punish, of course!
Is there a law against not supporting the right people?
It's somewhere in the permutations and umbrellas of the Social Contract!Are your sure? I heard it was somewhere buried in the Affordable Care Act.
From an argument on the book of faces:
"This does not accomplish anything and it sets a very dangerous precedent that we can cut government funding and still be okay."
haha that line is priceless.
sets a very dangerous precedentreveals the inconvenient truth that we can cut government funding and still be okay -
Every single time something like this comes up, it becomes clear that the proglodytes regard every new spending level as sacrosanct and as a baseline for all future spending.
Moral of the story: Don't EVER let them get one new spending program into law. Not fucking ever.
I wonder if I'll be able to take my checkride for my private pilot's license if the "shutdown" is still going on next week. I wouldn't think it's a problem as the examiner will most likely be an independent contractor and the applicant is responsible for paying the examiner anyway.
"So when President Barack Obama says the shutdown will "throw a wrench into the gears of our economy" and put "the American people's hard-earned progress at risk," it is appropriate to treat such claims with skepticism"
Throw a wrench? As in a "monkey wrench"? So you'r calling Obama a monkey. Oh, that's racist. I'm telling on you to Joan Walsh.

Is the Tampa Convention Already Rigged? Yes... See here:
Submitted by Daily Rube on Mon, 06/25/2012 - 18:30The Convention organizer/CEO seems to believe that the convention is already over... And... Ho hum... we just need to formally nominate Romney. The guy PLANNING the convention, you would think would be unbiased, right? Is this a convention or a rigged publicity stunt?? DP, please let him hear it...
Thursday, May 31, 2012
From the Desk of Convention CEO William D. HarrisDear Friend,
We are now less than 100 days away from the start of the 2012 Republican National Convention, when we will formally nominate former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney to be the next president of the United States.
Earlier this month, more than 450 media representatives descended on Tampa for our Spring Media Walk-Through, held at the Tampa Bay Times Forum and Tampa Convention Center. The media received an update on convention planning and got their first chance to examine and begin configuring their workspaces. A team from our general services contractor, Freeman Company, was on hand to take custom orders from media outlets for everything from office furniture to walls and dividers. Official telecommunications provider, Bright House Networks, was also on hand to take orders for media attendees' voice and data needs.
Earlier this month, we announced state delegation hotel assignments. Whether along the beautiful beaches of St. Petersburg or Clearwater, near a scenic golf course in Palm Harbour or in the heart of downtown Tampa, all of the delegations have been matched with superb accommodations at one of the approximately 100 convention hotels across the area. Thanks to the many great hotels and resorts in the Tampa Bay area, we were able to accommodate each delegation in a single hotel, without splitting any of them up. You can click here to see the full list of assignments, and for more information, be sure to read "100 Days and Counting," below.
By making full use of social media, we're going to make the 2012 Republican National Convention the most accessible event of its kind. Users will be able to visit our official website, www.GOPconvention2012.com, friend us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter or circle us on Google+. Whether at home in Albuquerque or on the front lines in Afghanistan, anyone with Internet access will be able to watch streaming video, receive news or interact directly with newsmakers, convention officials and the delegates themselves.
We have also launched our "Convention Without Walls" app on Facebook, which allows users to share their convention experiences, stories and streaming video. I invite you to sign up for the app at www.conventionwithoutwalls.com, and share it with your family and friends.
I am amazed and proud of what our team has accomplished since hitting the ground in the Tampa Bay area, but there is still much more to do. With your continued feedback and support, I am confident this will be the best Republican National Convention yet – a great springboard for Mitt Romney's march to the White House.

This is why
Ron Paul asked us to take the empty seats on the State/ County/ Cenral Committees. This is HOW the elections are rigged.
Please join your Ron Paul Republicans who have seats, as we are holding them for YOU. Do we need to BEG you to join us? What is it going to take to wake folks up?
Meetings are once a month. You will take part in vetting candidates and issues affecting your local, state, and national laws.
BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO HAVE. GET A SEAT. It's worth it to rig the elections in our favor don't you agree.

I tried to do this in my State... Bu apparently Minnesota is already on the Liberty Express... No spots open! Not to brag or anything, but we swept our convention with RP delegates! (too bad we're still a blue state)

Please, don't stop trying
There were no seats available in my county district. All the other county districtss had open seats. One county district had all the seats open, but mine was full. So I continued to go, and I took my own role call, And then when someone missed three consecutive meetings, I asked to replace them. The Chair got so mad at me after I had gone after every seat but his, he said, "Maybe I should resign and you can be the Chair?" I said, ""sure, I'd be happy to be Chair, but right now, I'm just trying to get a seat legitimately. These folks don't care to show up, it's not my fault." That's when he admitted a conspiracy against me... well, the next meeting, I got a seat.
Of course in the meantime, I had petitioned and qualified for a seat, but I don't come into my elected seat until January. So I'm seated 7 months before my actual seat opens. And what's better, is that my diligence, fortitude, determination, consistance, respect, is paying off. They like me more than Ron Paul.. now there's a twist, eh?
I sure wish I had folks on my committee who were Ron Paul Republicans. The more the merrier. Show up aa a guest and be counted. Maybe you'll help inspire them to vet Ron Paul issues and candidates... a little pressure wouldn't hurt, as you never know who might suddenly drop off leaving you with a seat!
God Bless You!

And they're using taxpayer money to put on this charade
It stinks to high heck but that's where our country is at, unfortunately. It was said that "the price of freedom is eternal vigilance" but, unfortunately, we've neglected that through the years. We got too fat, lazy and complacent. It's a real shame because this country was once very far ahead of the rest of the world in many ways.

The arrogance and corruption in
this presidential election is beyond belief. There is not even a pretense of proper fair process.
Both parties have probably agreed at some level that Romney will be the next president. The billionaires club is donating millions to the Romney campaign. Obama does not even seem to be trying to win votes.
Nothing to do but go forward with honor and integrity, as Ron Paul has done for a lifetime in the midst of this corruption.

Of course it's rigged
District and state conventions have been rigged, so of course the national convention will be as well. The major difference is that there will be many cameras on them streaming live to both the net and MSM channels. It's going to be a lot tougher to hide the shenanigans from the public. I hope that someone brings up all the GOP's violations on live TV.

Not an American user? DescriptionFar away in peaceful Angel Land lived a young angel warrior named Pit, who has been given the task of defeating the monstrous Medusa, who wishes to destroy Angel Land and all of the people, and she has started by kidnapping Palutena, the Princess of Angel Land.Young Pit must rescue the Princess and restore peace to Angel Land. He will travel from the deep caverns of the Underworld to Medusa's palace in the sky on his journey, and deadly monsters will attack him every step of the way. But he has the power of the Gods on his side! A powerful bow and arrows, Water of Life, and Angel Feathers will assist Pit on his quest to destroy Medusa and save the princess! Kid Icarus is a platform game where the player goes through several vertically outlaid levels, shooting enemies with his bow on the way and collecting hearts they leave behind. Pit's bow can shoot both forward and upwards. As Pit continues upwards, more and more of the level ends up beyond the bottom of the screen and if Pit falls down out of the screen, he dies. The levels contain doors which lead to chambers of various types - some chambers are filled with enemies, some are treasuries which allow Pit to obtain a power-up, some are stores where Pit can buy stuff, some will replenish his health, in some Pit will be able to take a test in hopes of getting a powerful weapon, and finally some chambers give Pit a chance of receiving a strength upgrade, therefore increasing the amount of damage his attacks deal. Pit earns experience as he defeats enemies, and he gains levels from this experience. The more levels Pit has, the more maximum health he has. Hearts taken from enemies are used in shops to buy various items and power-ups. Items include a protective shield which harms enemies, a more powerful bow, a mallet which allows you to smash the poor Palutena's warriors turned to stone who will later help you to fight a boss, a torch to see yourself in dark areas and others.

Say what you will about former Speaker Newt Gingrich. His philosophy, his policy proposals, his track record, his campaign, and all the rest. But the one thing you have to acknowledge about Gingrich is that he's a sizzler. He has a way with words. And he's as good a communicator as anyone in modern politics.
In my CNBC interview with Gingrich this week, he slammed President Obama's tax-the-rich, class-warfare attack on bank's and businesspeople. He hammered Obama, calling him a hard-left radical who is opposed to free enterprise, capitalism, and "virtually everything which made America great."
It was a brutal, frontal, hard-hitting attack on the president. He called Obama "the candidate of food stamps, the finest food-stamp president in American history." He said, "I want to get equality by bringing people up. [Obama] wants to get equality by bringing people down." He said, "I want to be the guy who says, 'I want to help every American have a better future.' [Obama] wants to make sure that he levels Americans down so we all have an equally mediocre future."
Frankly, Romney ought to be beating back Obama right now. He should at least be asserting that America's free-enterprise, capitalist system rewards success, not punishes it, and that free-market economics — including supply-side tax-cut policies, worked in the 1920s under Calvin Coolidge, in the 1960s under Democrat John F. Kennedy, and again in the 1980s under Ronald Reagan.
In fact, Bill Clinton joined with Gingrich in the 1990s to slash the capital-gains tax, cut spending, and enact welfare reform, all of which kept the Reagan boom going. Over 40 million jobs were created in the two decades that followed Reagan's supply-side tax cut.
Gingrich made a special point during our talk to reestablish his supply-side bona fides. He said to me, "you're a witness to this. I was part of [Jack] Kemp's little cabal of supply-siders." And then came Gingrich's most sizzling point: "You can make an argument that I helped Mitt Romney get to be rich, because I helped pass the legislation."
So I asked, "Have you ever made that argument to him?" And Gingrich said, "I am as of right this minute. Just occurred to me." He went on to say that Romney "should be thanking me because I did the macroeconomic things necessary to make his career possible."

Benghazi, 27 June:
A retired Qaddafi-era intelligence officer was assassinated in front of his house in Benghazi yesterday, less than one month after moving to the city.
Colonel Saleh Al-Warfali had previously been living in Ajdabiya, where he was in charge of an intelligence ministry department under the Qaddafi regime.
A source from the Supreme Security Committee (SSC) in Benghazi confirmed the name of the colonel and that the assassination took place but provided no further information.

Observations on Khartoum
A popular blogger based in Darfur has recently posted an entry from Khartoum. While generally her observations are well informed (she is a releif worker), reasonably dispassionate and genuinely involved without losing perspective, I found the post from Khartoum to be rather shallow albeit written with a rather refreshing fascination with the city.
The occurences in Darfur, although tragic, have diverted the spotlight from Khartoum, the emerging political culture, the deep-rooted corrpution and obscene social disparities that exist. One finds very little meaningful exposition of Sudanese politics and culture now outside the frame of terrorism and Darfur. While Sleepless's efforts I am sure are appreciated, the Khartoum she sees is a sanitised NGO/diplo/rich kids version that only a miniscule fraction of the population are fortunate enough to see.
Another blog, run by a Christian church group in Pensylvania, posted an entry from khartoum two weeks ago and the author also seemed to be impressed by the facilities, hospitality, food and idyllic old world atmosphere on the banks of the Nile.
It is interesting and rather paradoxical that Western aid workers react to Khartoum in this way. Firstly, this is not the first time that the city had displayed the manifestations of modernity, it is merely the first time during the tenure of the current government. During the late 60's and 70's, Khartoum was a destination for regional immigrants and boasted theatres, cafes and restaurants. Even throughout the Numeiri governments and sporadic democratic periods, the city witnessed periods of prosperity and social activity. The present government has been in power for fifteen years and despite the peace treaty signed with the South, the growing oil industry and the general relaxation of sanctions, funds have filtered down to very few (that is, not government affiliated) private individuals.
Khartoum is a city of extremeties. Palatial properties exist alongside shanty towns, the inhabitants of which often provide domestic staff for said properties. The pyramid of affluence starts with governments ministers/officials, runs down through to private businesses they are affiliated with and ends with what are ostensibly the most independent positions in multinational companies- who of course have signed contracts with the government and exist symbiotically with it. If the paraphernalia of the massive wealth being accumulated has surfaced in the shape of coffee shops, restaurants and flavoured condoms, then this is hardly something for khartoum inhabitants to celebrate as the market for these venues consists of those that exist in aforementioned pyramid of influence- bringing to a perfect close the loop of nepotism and corrupt excluisivity. The unbelievable 'amount of construction' going on is not infrastructural. While roads, hospitals and public amenities generally continue to go the dogs, hotels, private properties and government ministries are being erected, towering above the dilapidated streets of squalour, child employment and poverty.
The government that is allegedly engineering the monstrosities in Darfur is the same one that is annexing the capital city into its very own playground. Those who consider the changing face of the city as a positive thing need to cease separating the obvious victims of the government and the more subtle ones. Forgive me if I do not buy this image of a vibrant city of Viennese style black forest cakes and happy weddings (the marriage market has now exploded in Khartoum, as extreme poverty and lack of social space drives girls to wed a provider and youth of both sexes to indulge in all things nuptial as those are the only celebrations allowed by the government). I would expect informed activists in Sudan who see Darfur as something more complicated than a pamphlet implies, to see Khartoum as something more than a postcard advertises.

reminds me of those who are judging beirut by the new, spiffy "centre-ville", cairo by the rich suburbs, etc.pp.
funny that a relief worker would fall into that trap. on the other hand - relief workers might be more technically educated than socially/culturally, and thus not exactly in a position to really understand the place where they're posted.
nice, orderly refugee camps, though...

E-mail comment from Sleepless in Sudan reads..
I wouldn't object to any of the comments you've made, my appreciation of Khartoum
is indeed rather shallow and limited to the "sanitised NGO/diplo/rich kids
version" of life there. It's one of the most "expat" cities I've ever lived in -
and I've always found it quite hard to really fit into the local scene, I don't
really know many western aid workers who've managed (or, for that matter, tried to
do this with much enthusiasm). It's quite different from other places I've where
I've worked in that sense, though I couldn't really tell you why. Will keep
reading your postings, maybe they'll give me some ideas..

Perspectives on Mining Series: Civil Discourse 101
Nov 12, 2013
Location Information
7:00 pm @ Sentry Room - SOEI
Civil Discourse 101: How Communities Can Discuss Contentious Issues will be held Tues., Nov. 12 at 7 p.m. at the Sigurd Olson Environmental Institute at Northland College. It is the first in a series of Northland College-sponsored talks about perspectives on mining. Led by Professor of Philosophy Tim Doyle and graduate student Julia Trezona Peek, the workshop offers a new framework for people with opposing viewpoints on environmental issues to understand each other and to have productive conversations. It is about adopting a frame of mind and a method for mapping differences and similarities between parties to a conflict. Individuals do not face problems anonymously but as a community, and it is necessary to the promotion and maintenance of a healthy community that we learn to communicate in the face of conflict. This workshop provides tools that are prerequisite to any further negotiation or bargaining. For further information contact Tim Doyle at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Testaments to the power of relationships, be they familial or civic, will play out today.
La Raza convention in KC is a sign of the times
March 17
By MARY SANCHEZ
The Kansas City Star
Mayor Sly James and National Council of La Raza President and CEO Janet Murguia will formally announce that the organizations 2015 convention is coming to Kansas City.
Murguia and the NCLR board have long wanted to her hometown to host the convention.
The metro area has seven of the NCLRs nearly 300 affiliates and last hosted the national event in 1989.
And lastly, its time because the unfortunate flap that pulled the 2009 convention from KC feels like ancient history.
Then-Mayor Mark Funkhouser appointed a member of the extremist Minuteman Civil Defense Corps to the parks board. NCLR threatened to yank the upcoming convention in reaction. Funkhouser ground in, even after the woman offered to resign from the parks board. (She later got wise about the Minutemen organization and quit that group, too.)
But so much has changed, nationally and locally, in regard to immigration and the prominence of Latinos in American culture.
Some people will always hold nativist tendencies, preferring to scapegoat people instead of discuss policy. But far more people now understand why the immigration system needs an overhaul, so many that Congress may finally do something about it.
Murguia deserves some of the credit.
Her roots are in the Argentine area, but shes been a player in the most influential corridors in Washington for decades. Prior to serving as a University of Kansas vice chancellor, Murguia worked for five years in the Clinton White House.
She was the right person to take over the 44-year-old NCLR in 2004, blending a passion for community with a deep understanding of how business gets done in D.C. NCLR advocates on a range of issues education, health, research, voter registration and the workforce.
Murguia took NCLR to new heights as the Latino population grew to more than 50 million people.
The vast majority of Latinos are English-speaking and U.S.-born. Simplistic readings of who is a Latino are waning. Along with a misreading of what the name NCLR signifies. Some have incorrectly translated it to cast the race as a separatist term.
La raza actually denotes the opposite, encompassing the fact that Hispanics can be of any race, along with the notion of a broad, inclusive community.
By the 2015 convention, expect more progress.
Much of it will occur through the sort of commitment to community that Murguia first learned as a child here.

A reluctant school food advocate: Bettina Elias Siegel
by Dana Woldow' Apr. 29' 2013
How do you get kids to eat healthy in an environment where they are offered junk food at every turn, including at school? Ask Houston's Bettina Elias Siegel, the brains behind
The Lunch Tray
, a popular and highly respected blog about kids and food with a following of thousands of fans. Among Lunch Tray readers are school nutrition directors, cafeteria workers, healthcare professionals, dietitians, nutritionists, cookbook authors, and fellow food and kid bloggers, as well as plenty of parents happy to share their own experiences.
The Lunch Tray community showed its muscle a year ago when Bettina wrote about lean finely textured beef, aka LFTB, or 'pink slime'; as an afterthought, she attached a link to a
at Change.org. The petition, asking the USDA to cease procuring for schools ground beef that contained LFTB, quickly garnered more than a quarter million signatures. Within nine days of launching the petition, the USDA changed its policy and allowed schools for the first time to choose whether they wanted ground beef with or without LFTB; now only three states in the country continue to choose LFTB ground beef.
Other controversial issues like the lack of limits around classroom treats (Texas is home to the famous "
Safe Cupcake Amendment
"), whether
chocolate milk
should be available in school cafeterias, and how best to deal with
picky eaters
, have all generated much discussion at The Lunch Tray.
A graduate of Harvard Law School, Bettina traded a career in intellectual property and advertising law for fulltime motherhood after her children were born. A writing workshop for stay-at-home moms led to a new career in writing, and in 2010, she started The Lunch Tray as a way of merging her writing with her daily experiences with kids and food.
During a recent trip to Houston, I met Bettina and her charming husband for breakfast, and she talked about her work, including the challenges of trying to improve food in the nation's 7th largest school district, why she calls herself "a reluctant school food advocate", and what changes in the food environment she thinks parents can reasonably hope to accomplish.
What issues most concern your readers?
My readership is made up, for the most part, of parents who care about feeding their children well, but who often find that a challenging task in today�s food environment. Issues that concern them include: the influx of junk food into every aspect of a child�s day, from the �
soccer snack
� of Oreos and juice, to the classroom
candy reward
; the quality of school food and how to
it; figuring out how to teach children to
today�s food environment; and then just practical things like how to get
family dinner
on the table every night, or coming up with healthful
snack or lunch box
Did you make a conscious decision at some point to get into school food reform advocacy, or did you just naturally evolve into it?
I was actually a very reluctant school food advocate! When I first learned that HISD was forming a parent advisory committee for Food Services, all I did was tell our PTO president so she could find someone else to join it. Even though I care very much about nutrition and feeding kids well, my own kids weren't eating the school food, so I felt it wasn't my place to offer my thoughts about it. Then it was pointed out to me that if the food were improved, I would likely want my kids to eat it, and so I agreed to join the committee.
Just at this time, HISD was rolling out its breakfast in the classroom program, which initially was very controversial. I'd just read Janet Poppendieck's excellent
on school food, Free for All: Fixing School Food in America, and had learned a tremendous amount about the federal lunch and breakfast programs. This knowledge, coupled with my participation on this district committee, meant that suddenly I was able to answer a lot of parents' questions about the breakfast program and about our school lunches.
Then, in a bit of serendipity, I was asked to write a guest post about the breakfast program for another person's blog, something I'd never done before. After working for years on print magazine stories, which are often heavily edited and can take months to appear on the newsstand, it was so exhilarating as a writer to hit the "send" button and be in immediate contact with my readers. I just loved it. All of these things came together in the course two months or so, and that's what led me to start The Lunch Tray.
You have two children in the public school system (son in 5th grade, daughter in 8th), so the school food issue touches your family directly every day. Do you think that there are aspects of the school food situation that those who are not public school parents (ie - those who home school, have kids in private/parochial school, or are childless) miss?
First, I do need to clarify that except for the occasional a la carte item, my kids don't eat school meals. That's not because I don't want them to, although I do have some continuing concerns about the food. They just prefer home-packed lunches and I'm glad (well, not always glad at 7 am!) to provide them.
That said, there are some unique and important factors that affect school food reform in public school. First, there�s the central issue of money. Public schools are working with around one dollar per kid for a school food meal (after overhead) and people outside the public school system don�t always understand how hard it is to �fix� school food with such limited resources.
Second, few private schools are as diverse as most public schools, particularly in a large urban district like mine. HISD has 279 schools reaching over 200,000 kids, and more than 80% of them qualify for free or reduced price school meals. Our students come from a variety of ethnic and cultural backgrounds, and while that diversity is a great asset, it has an impact on school food reform.
For example, about three years ago the district tried to introduce hot oatmeal as a breakfast option. The feedback was negative and it turned out (at least according to my contact at Food Services) that oatmeal is rarely eaten among the Hispanic families who make up the majority of our district. Or there are kids who come from �food deserts� and don�t often encounter at home the fresh fruit HISD would love them to try. Those sorts of cultural and socioeconomic differences are real and need to be taken into account.
Similarly, when it comes to sugary treats and rewards in the classroom, or the sale of junk food by student groups and PTAs, it drives me a little crazy when a parent at a small private school says, �What�s the big deal? We just got together and asked the principal to put a stop to it, and she was glad for our feedback and acted on it right away!� Well, maybe that�s because your school is small, self-selecting and the majority of parents share your higher socioeconomic status and overall outlook on nutrition.
In public school, you�re often dealing with parents - and administrators - from vastly different backgrounds and with widely varying levels of nutrition education. It can be much harder to form a parent coalition or to get a sympathetic ear from a teacher or principal. And a private school is less likely to be as cash-strapped as a public school, which is often the very reason public school principals turn a blind eye to junk food fundraising.
I don�t mean to imply that these issues are always easily solved in private school, of course, but I do think it�s a much easier road.
You are halfway through your time as a public school parent; what would you most like to see changed by the time you are done?
This spring marked my third anniversary of serving on the HISD Food Services Parent Advisory Committee and my second year of serving on our School Health Advisory Council (SHAC). A lot has changed in that time period.
When I first got involved, the district was serving items like animal crackers and Trix yogurt at breakfast and the lunch menus were sorely in need of an overhaul. Now we have an improved school meal menu, one that anticipated almost all of the changes required by the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act, well before those new regulations were issued. And the people running our food program tell us they�re committed to further improving the food and overall student health.
Meanwhile, the SHAC is currently updating the district�s Wellness Policy for the first time in several years. I believe this forward-thinking policy, once adopted by our school board, could serve as a model for other districts around the country.
So all of this leaves me feeling quite hopeful. But in the remaining time I have left as a parent in this district, I do hope we can see improvements in three areas. First, I�d like to see more true scratch cooking coming out of HISD�s $51 million, state-of-the-art central kitchen. There�s still a lot of highly processed food being served to our kids and I�m not sure why that�s the case.
Second, student and parent groups regularly sell junk food on campus in violation of existing state law (and soon also in violation of the new federal competitive food regulations.) Yet cash-deprived principals often do nothing to enforce those rules, putting fundraising ahead of student health.
Third, I�d like to see my district wean itself off a la carte (�snack bar�) food sales. Even if those foods eventually improve in nutritional quality, as I�m hopeful they will, I still believe there shouldn�t be a two-tier system in the cafeteria, one in which kids with money can get the �cool� snack bar food while kids dependent on federal reimbursement would sometimes rather go hungry than be seen in the �uncool� lunch line.
What advice would you give to a parent just starting out trying to fix the food at their child's school?
I almost think that anyone wanting to "fix" their school food should first be legally required to read Free for All (which I mentioned earlier) from cover to cover. It's the most comprehensive, readable source I've found to get a novice up to speed on the National School Lunch Program.
After reading it, you'll have a much better understanding of the very real challenges your district faces in trying to serve better food. And while that knowledge shouldn't dissuade you from still trying to improve things, it will make you a team player with your food services department, rather than an uniformed critic whose views are easily discounted.
What one thing do you try to teach your own kids about food?
There are parents who instruct their children to never eat highly processed food and who never serve it in the home. That�s an admirable approach but not one that�s easy to sustain, given how often kids are offered junk food during their typical day. I also worry that some of those kids � not all, certainly, but some � will be drawn to the taboo when their parents aren�t around.
I try to walk a fine line, letting my kids partake of those foods on occasion while showing them every day that whole foods should form the majority of one�s diet. So if they had a pastry at a restaurant breakfast, I might remind them of that in the evening when I say no to dessert - that sort of thing. My kids are now pre-teen and teenaged, so they�re rapidly gaining more independence over what they eat. Only time will tell if my lessons have taken hold!

The Auburn Tigers went through their second team practice of the 2013 preseason late Saturday afternoon, working two and half hours in shorts at the Auburn Athletics Complex practice fields. Coach Gus Malzahn was pleased with his squad's performance in the warm weather.
"Overall, I felt our approach to practice today and our attitude and effort were good," Malzahn said. "The pace was much better. When you've been through a spring and understand what to expect from different looks, there's nothing like experience. We spent extra time with the young guys again today. We're looking forward to tomorrow's practice and putting everything together."
Earlier in the day, two seniors on the Auburn squad, Ryan Smith and Craig Sanders, received their bachelor's degrees at Commencement ceremonies. Smith was a Public Administration major, while Sanders majored in Human Development and Family Studies.
The Tigers return to the practice field Sunday afternoon for their first workout in shells. Auburn's season opener is Saturday, August 31, at Jordan-Hare Stadium versus Washington State in a 6 p.m. Central kickoff.

Two new male contraceptives exert their effects by depleting germ cells prematurely from the testis (PDF)
Cheng,Chuen-yan; Silvestrini,Bruno; Grima,Josephine; Mo,Meng-Yun; Zhu,Li-Ji; Johansson,Elof D.B.; Saso,Luciano; Leone,Maria Grazia; Palmery,Maura; Mruk,Dolores D.
Biology of Reproduction 65(2): 449-461
Publication date: 2001
The three currently available male contraceptive approachesare 1) the barrier method such as the condom, 2) hormonal methodsby disrupting the pituitary-testicular axis so as to impairspermatogenesis, and 3) immunological methods by preparing vaccinesagainst male-specific antigens. We hereby describe an alternativeapproach in which attachments of developing germ cells ontothe seminiferous epithelium are disrupted, thereby inducingtheir premature release into the tubular lumen. This in turnleads to infertility. A panel of analogues based on the corestructure of 1-(2,4-dichlorobenzyl)-indazole-3-carboxylic acidwas synthesized. These compounds were subjected to an in vivoscreening assay assessing their effects in inducing the expressionof testin, a testicular marker whose expression correlates withthe integrity of Sertoli-germ cell junctions. An induction oftestin expression in the testis signifies a disruption of Sertoli-germcell junctions that is followed by depletion of germ cells fromthe seminiferous epithelium. Two compounds, namely 1-(2,4-dichlorobenzyl)-indazole-3-carbohydrazide(AF-2364) and 1-(2,4-dichlorobenzyl)-indazole-3-acrylic acid(AF-2785), were identified that caused detachment of germ cells,in particular round and elongated spermatids, from the epitheliuminducing their premature release into the tubular lumen as confirmedby histological analysis. Adult rats receiving several oraldoses of either one of these compounds became infertile within3-7 wk after the epididymal sperm reserve was exhausted.Depending on the dosing of the administered compound, rats becameinfertile for 4-14 wk before their fertility graduallybounced back, illustrating the reversibility and efficacy ofthese new compounds. Also, these compounds did not appear toimpair the hypothalamus-pituitary-testicular axis because theserum levels of LH, FSH, and testosterone of the treated animalsdid not change significantly when compared to control rats.In addition, results of serum microchemistry illustrate thatliver and kidney function was not affected in animals treatedwith both compounds.

Stupidity and waste of money...
I don't get why are they doing this. It's either a big money laundering operation (makes sense - they say it goes for security but it goes in their pockets), or all of the idiots in America are working for the government (not only in security, but in politics, too).
When I first read about people having their laptops and phones seized (and never returned or returned in bad condition!), I thought, "WTF?".
WHAT stops a terrorist or other person with bad intentions from uploading their information and documents to an online storage service (most of which operate from US datacenters!!) and just download them after he crosses the border!? While at it, he could also make a profit by selling his equipment for euros in Europe and buy new stuff cheaper in the US :-).
I guess the only thing they could do to prevent this is start checking ALL the servers and ALL the data or implement a "United Firewall" (like China's Great Firewall), in which case the rest of the world will just send them to the Fah-Queue and move their business to the EU.

Travel Blogs from Panama City
The flight from Canada to Panama was an adventurous one. Due to the snow storm in Toronto, we were delayed for four hours, and missed our connection in Newark. A one night stay at the Wyndham airport hotel in Newark ($100 /double) was required. A good sleep in Newark helped us with the transition from Canadian winter to Panamanian heat. We were …
A Good Romp Through Panama

We sat our tired bodies down, this was the first time my sister and I had ever done something like this together in our adult lives. We tossed down our bags, the little house had wood plank floors, walls and bed. We were home for the night and it felt good.
This town was a combination of some indigenous people and quite a few Hispanic Panamanians, fishermen, gold miners and ...

One ridiculous, insane day in Panama City
... as it was on the way. When in Rome right, I hadn't planned to go there but thought I might as well do something productive as I was now 1.5 hours into my day with nothing productive to show for it. I had not been stabbed in the arm I had just spent an alarming amount of time in taxis.
Oh my, my. We eventually arrived to 'Miraflores' which apparently was the Panama Canals. I was VERY confused, I looked around to see if I could find some kind of hospital in the vicinity but ...
Panama City is a little bit sh*tty
... police on every corner which made it feel a bit safer!
Whilst in Panama City we also headed to the main/only tourist attraction - the Panama Canal. Despite steph thinking she was heading to a slightly larger version of the Thames we were both quite impressed with the scale of the locks. We watched a video on the making of the locks and Andy you will be pleased to know that your great granddaddy got a ...

Green Coffee Extract benefits
Coffee is by far the most popular and widely known stimulants among all the beverages known to mankind. Only tea and water have higher consumption than coffee, among the human race. Talking about green coffee, it is simply coffee produced from raw or unroasted coffee beans. As per the appliedfoods.com, green coffee has high amounts of chlorogenic acid in it.
This ingredient has powerful antioxidant properties that can free your body from free radicals and thus encourage its overall good health. Green Coffee Extract also has anti-obesity, anti-inflammatory and hypotensive properties, all of which we will throw light on in this article. Let's look at the Green Coffee Extract benefits in some detail.

Green Coffee Extract Benefits in Hypertension
Green Coffee Extract can have a highly beneficial impact on hypertension. A study carried out by Kao Corporation of Tokyo, Japan proved several positive effects in humans and rats suffering from mild hypertension.
The research also showed significant decrease in blood pressure, with blood pressure variance being directly proportional to the Green Coffee Extract dosages. Such results were obtained without causing any negative side effects to the subjects.
Green Coffee Extract Benefits in Weight Loss
A study conducted by Oryza Oil & Fat Chemical Co. Ltd., again a Japanese company showed a significant effect on the body weight by regular consumption of Green Coffee Extract. The study revealed that the combination of chlorogenic acid and caffeine in Green Coffee Extract results in inhibited fat absorption and lesser fat accumulation, thereby making Green Coffee Extract an excellent weight loss product.

Anti Ageing Benefits of Green Coffee Extract
As chlorogenic acid contained in the green coffee beans has antioxidative properties, it gets rid of all the free radicals inside the body due to the enhancement in body's natural metabolic rate. All these free radicals if not gotten rid of, can destroy the cell membranes and produce symptoms related to ageing.
By getting rid of them, Green Coffee Extract actually reverses the ageing process. Several clinical tests have also shown that Green Coffee Extract has almost twice the capacity of absorbing oxygen radicals in comparison to green tea extract or grape seeds.

Green Coffee Extract Benefits in Metabolic Enhancement
The Green Coffee Extract enhances the user's metabolism by altering the manner in which glucose gets absorbed inside the body. The caffeic acids function as stimulants in order to boost the body's energy levels.
Furthermore, as the Green Coffee Extract beans are not boiled, they do not contain cafestol (that is a diterpene) which can otherwise increase the LDL or bad cholesterol levels inside the body.
