Singapore polity is changing - profoundly and probably irrevocably. The consensus that the PAP government constructed and maintained over five decades is fraying. The assumptions that underpin Singaporean exceptionalism are no longer accepted as easily and readily as before. Among these are the ideas that the country is uniquely vulnerable, that this vulnerability limits its policy and political options, that good governance demands a degree of political consensus that ordinary democratic arrangements cannot ensure, and that the country's success requires a competitive meritocracy accompanied by relatively little income or wealth redistribution. But the policy and political conundrums that Singapore faces today are complex and defy easy answers. Confronted with a more critical and sceptical public and an increasingly contested political landscape how will politics and policymaking in Singapore evolve? What reforms should the government pursue? This collection of essays suggests that a far-reaching and radical rethinking of the country's policies and institutions is necessary, even if it weakens the very consensus that enabled Singapore to succeed in its first 50 years.
This publication comprises nine papers addressing issues concerning food security in Europe and Asia, including: What are the food policies as well as present challenges in European and Asian countries? What can they learn from each other? How do they try to ensure a stable food supply? What impacts do trade, regional initiatives and technology transfer have on food security?
This book considers the subject of the traditional Rulers of Malaysia from three perspectives - contemporary, historical and comparative. It looks looks at Malaysia within the context of different systems in various countries and the positions of their respective Rulers and the changes they have experienced, and predicts the likely future for The Malay Rulers, without being sensational or controversial.
This catalogue accompanies an exhibition at the Asian Civilisations Museum of treasures from the Famen Temple crypt and other Tang dynasty artworks. Essays examine relic worship at the Famen Temple and the Buddhist world of the Tang, the rationale for the arrangement of donations in the crypt chambers, and the Tang dynasties contacts with the wider world. Figures and murals from tombs, magnificent reliquary boxes, rare ceramics, and gold and silver metalwork tell the story of life and culture during the Tang.
The Malayan Emergency (1948-60) was the longest war waged by British and Commonwealth forces in the twentieth century. Fought against communist guerrillas in the jungles of Malaya, this undeclared 'war without a name' had a powerful and covert influence on American strategy in Vietnam. Many military historians still consider the Emergency an exemplary, even inspiring, counterinsurgency conflict. Massacre in Malaya draws on recently released files from British archives, as well as eyewitness accounts from both the government forces and communist fighters, to challenge this view. It focuses on the notorious 'Batang Kali Massacre' - known as 'Britain's My Lai' - that took place in December, 1948, and reveals that British tactics in Malaya were more ruthless than many historians concede. Counterinsurgency in Malaya, as in Kenya during the same period, depended on massive resettlement programmes and ethnic cleansing, indiscriminate aerial bombing and ruthless exploitation of aboriginal peoples, the Orang Asli. The Emergency was a discriminatory war. In Malaya, the British built a brutal and pervasive security state - and bequeathed it to modern Malaysia. The 'Malayan Emergency' was a bitterly fought war that still haunts the present.
Singapore Metropolitan Region is a graphical compendium of architectural research about the Sijori Triangle: Singapore, Johor and the Riau Archipelago. Beautiful plans, illustrations, drawings,a dn historical maps trace visions of the past with information of the present. Essays by Erik G.L'Heureux, Freek Colombijn, Lai Chee Kien, Chua Beng Huat, Tim Bunnell and Francois Decoster produce a more nuanced picture of the region in five chapters. A complex yet impressive picture emerges beyond political boundaries and conflicting national interest. Indeed by seeing the region as one cohesive landscape with distinct formal and spatial characteristics composed of longstanding histories, peoples and economies, the architecture of the Singapore Metropolitan Region reveals its interconnected complexity painting a picture of a region wrestling between the first and third world.
Detailed descriptions and interpretations of the buildings, art, and furnishings of all major monasteries and significant secular buildings, as well as numerous references to both historical Tibetan, Sanskrit, and Chinese texts and to works of scholarly research in the West and in China, make this work a unique source of information for both the specialist and the general reader. This extensive documentation on the sacred art and monuments of Buddhist Tibet also provides a deeply researched history of the cultural and religious circumstances in which the sites and relics were created.
This is the second volume of Joseph Pereira's comprehensive survey of the Singapore pop music scene in the 1960s. The second half of the sixties saw seismic shifts in the global music scene. In Singapore, newer breed of bands was coming to the fore, many with outlandish names. Tea dances became increasingly popular. Discotheques started sprouting up to cater to a new hip crowd. Pop Yeh Yeh, which had always been active alongside the mainstream pop music scene, came into its own with many releases. Singapore bands were very active playing the British services circuit and in Vietnam. But, as the decade drew to a close, several pivotal events signalled the end of this glorious era for Singapore pop music. Beyond the Tea Dance examines in rich detail all the major bands and singers in this turbulent period.
Many archival photographs are included in this insider's account of Malaya's music scene 1900-1965, a period of close Malaya/Singapore interchange.

This music scene and Japanese policy 1942-45 and the 1045-65 developments in Radio Singapura, in cinema and entertainment hubs and at functions are then described. Inset photographs and biographical summaries are given for some 90 artistes and performers, and the role of musical groups noted. With bibliography, online database and index. Bilingual in Malay.

The simple step by step procedures outlining the processes, tools and techniques for collecting and assessing the cultural assets and resources of any community provide the user with a clear methodology to unravel the complex and significant elements which wake up any human settlement.

An excellent resource for policy makers, planners, cultural advocates and community leaders.
Mental healthcare in many Asian countries mirrors the British model, which in the past was focused on the large mental asylum but now has a community emphasis. Geriatric Psychiatry books in libraries and bookshops are mainly from Britain and North America. In recent years, Asian countries have begun to rethink, reorganise and introduce innovations to improve their mental health services. Mental Healthcare of the Elderly contains some of these new ideas and is a primer for health professionals who are involved in the care of elderly people with mental health problems like depression and dementia.

The first book solely dedicated to the Art and Culture of Nias in 25 years, Nias Sculpture features a broad array of unpublished masterpieces from the collection of the Mandala Foundation. For countless centuries, the isolated island of Nias, located far off the west coast of Sumatra, Indonesia, developed a unique culture and stunning art little influenced by the outside world. Descendants of the Austronesians, the ancient peoples who explored and settled insular Southeast Asia beginning some 5000 years ago, their art has been acclaimed for more than a century, Nias has achieved legendary status in the pantheon of Indonesian tribal art.
The concept of harmony has always resonated through every aspect of China's long cultural history. In this collection, Dr Daniel CK Lau continues and extends the tradition in an innovative, contemporary vein. The large-scale calligraphic installation 'Harmony (cat. no. 1)' provides the vehicle for an exploration of script styles ranging from ancient to modern times. Through this work and others from the past decade, Lau strives to integrate past and present to create a fresh aesthetic with its roots in tradition.

Paradise is a photographic monograph about an author's search for paradise in one of the most controversial places in recent history: the Swat valley of Pakistan. Paradise is at once an introspective journey, as well as a biographical sketch of Swat valley. Through the documentation of daily life and extraordinary happenings in Swat, the author discovers the fragility of Man's interpretation of paradise, as well as the resilience of the human spirit in the face of hell-on-earth. With a sequence of 75 carefully-selected black-and-white images and five chapters of personal notes from his journey, the 164-page volume is the author's attempt to answer the eternal question: "What is paradise?". Accompanied by a free copy of "Visage: A Book Comprising Vignettes of the Process and People behind the Legendary Martell Cognac".
(Un)expected is a campaign to help create an awareness of poverty not just in Malaysia but all around the world. This book is full of compassion and wisdom, presented in Rinpoche's inimitable contemporary style, a unique blend of serious contemplation, with generous dashes of wit and humour, but always profound. The selection of beautiful photographs ranges from the quirky to the perfect portrait.
HOME + BOUND is the inaugural volume in the Architectural Research Monograph series published by the Center for Advanced Studies in Architecture, National University of Singapore in January 2013. The essays engage with the notion of domesticity set within the geographical bounds of Southeast Asia - more specifically, Singapore and Malaysia. Theoretical frameworks, including those of Michel Foucault, Sigmund Freud, Jacques Derrida and Anthony Vidler, are surveyed against local sites interwoven with varying scales, tropes, (mis)conceptions and antinomies of domesticity: a Chinese cemetery, Singapore's public Housing Development Board flats, the older Singapore Improvement Trust flats, its National Day Parade sites, a haunted house, a rural kampong (village), some national monuments, and a Straits Chinese patriarch's mansion in Penang. This volume does not privilege the distinction between loss and recuperation of domestic sites and ideologies, or the ensuing difficulties of their reconciliation. Rather, it highlights the inseparable conditions between the recovery of domestic ideals and the agents who formulate such ideals.
The Mahabharata endures as the great epic of India. But while Jaya is the story of the Pandavas, told from the perspective of the victors of Kurukshetra; Ajaya is the narrative of the unconquerable Kauravas, who were decimated to the last man. At the heart of India's most powerful empire, a revolution is brewing. Amidst the chaos, Prince Suyodhana, heir of Hastinapura, stands tall, determined to claim his birthright and act according to his conscience. He is the maker of his own destiny or so he believes…
In this novel, so chillingly plausible that Singaporeans will argue about it for years to come, Lee Chiu San, a former journalist who found a more fulfilling career as a car dealer, examines the relationship between a country and its citizens. Are the ties that bind them purely financial or more emotionally deep-rooted? How will Singaporeans change the course of world history?
Beneath Singapore's sparkling veneer is a country teeming with shadows. Explore the city-state's forgotten back alleys, red-light districts, kelongs and gambling dens with 14 illustrious writers, three of them Singapore Literature Prize winners. This exciting anthology - compiled by US-based Singaporean author Cheryl Lu-Lien Tan and part of the award-winning Noir series developed by Akashic Books in New York - promises to uncover a side of Singapore rarely explored in literature.

(CNN) -- Actress Catherine Zeta-Jones is being proactive about maintaining good health.
The 43-year-old, who has been open about seeking treatment for bipolar II disorder, has checked into a "healthcare facility," her rep told CNN.
"Previously, Catherine has said that she is committed to periodic care in order to manage her health in an optimum manner," her rep added.
In 2011, Zeta-Jones, who is married to Michael Douglas, sought treatment for the disorder with a brief stay at a mental health facility.
Bipolar II, which the Mayo Clinic notes is less severe than bipolar I, is defined as "a pattern of depressive episodes shifting back and forth with hypomanic episodes, but no full-blown manic or mixed episodes," according to the National Institute of Mental Health.
In the past, Zeta-Jones has said that she hopes her desire to seek help will encourage others who might be suffering.
"This is a disorder that affects millions of people and I am one of them," she told People magazine in 2011. "If my revelation of having bipolar II has encouraged one person to seek help, then it is worth it. There is no need to suffer silently and there is no shame in seeking help."

You'll discover the largest Roman Catholic Cathedral in all of Asia, along with an area more reminiscent of Portugal than India. Delightful colonial architecture, complete with overhanging balconies, narrow winding cobblestone streets, small shops and eateries beckon.

Lush and lovely Goa was created as a place for relaxation. Studded with vibrant temples and majestic churches, Goa is a window to the religious history and eclectic blend of Portuguese and Indian cultures found in western India. On this enlightening half-day tour, discover two of India's most captivating cities, Old Goa and Panjim.
Departing Mormugao, you will first come to Old Goa, where you will visit two historically important churches, the most prominent legacy of the Portuguese. Tour the Se Cathedral, dedicated to St. Catherine and consecrated in 1640. The most imposing church in Old Goa, the cathedral took over 80 years to build and is larger than any church in Portugal. Next, proceed to the Basilica of Bom Jesus, the first church in India to be elevated to the status of a minor basilica and a World Heritage Monument. Constructed in 1605, the church houses the sacred relics of St. Francis Xavier, patron saint of Goa. Covered with marble and inlaid with precious stones, the splendid Bom Jesus is considered the best example of baroque architecture in India.
Goa's capital, Panjim is spread along the south bank of the Mandovi River, in a charming sprawl of red-roofed houses, sunny squares and gardens of bougainvillea and frangipani. Panjim town has a relaxed and friendly atmosphere with streets lined with taverns and bakeries offering Goan cuisine,"Feni" (cashew nut liquor) and `Bebinca', the delicious local cake. Explore the city's highlights, including Church Square, the Church of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception and the Fontainhas, the city's oldest district.
Later, visit the market before departing to a heritage Goan-Portuguese mansion, the home of Otto de Oliveira Fernandes, to meet a 'Goanese' family over light refreshments.
Later, enjoy a relaxing drive back to the ship.

TORONTO -- Toronto potentially added another burly right-hander to its crop of young starting pitchers by selecting Joe Musgrove with the 46th overall pick of the 2011 First-Year Player Draft on Monday.Musgrove is a 6-foot-5, 230-pounder who played for Grossmont High School in California. In addition to his fastball, Musgrove throws a slider and curveball. Both pitches reportedly need some more work, as neither has quite the expected amount of movement. But there's no debating that Musgrove has the frame to withstand a heavy workload if he is able to continue his development and improve his secondary pitches.
Musgrove has already committed to play for San Diego State. Toronto has until Aug. 15 to sign him to a contract. If the club is unable to do so, it will receive the No. 46 pick in next year's Draft.
The pick is yet another example of the Blue Jays targeting tall and athletic starting pitchers. The club used its first selection (21st overall) to take 6-foot-4 high school right-hander Tyler Beede.In 2010, the club used six of its first eight picks on pitchers. All of those hurlers were at least 6-foot-3, as the club put an emphasis on size and durability. The Blue Jays received the No. 46 pick after catcher John Buck signed a multiyear contract with the Marlins during the offseason. It was the second of four selections the Blue Jays had between the first and second rounds of the Draft. Also on Day 1, Toronto selected Tyler Beede (No. 21), outfielder Jacob Anderson (No. 35), outfielder Dwight Smith (No. 53) and right-hander Kevin Comer (No. 57).

WASHINGTON — Tanning beds would be forced to warn young people of the dangers of skin cancer and face tighter oversight under a proposal from U.S. regulators.
The Food and Drug Administration proposed Monday that sunlamp products be recommend against use by those younger than 18 years old and warn frequent users to regularly screen for cancer.
The proposed order would also require sunlamp products seek FDA clearance before sale, the agency said in a statement.
The risk of melanoma, the deadliest type of skin cancer, rises 75 percent in those exposed to ultraviolet radiation from indoor tanning, the FDA said. The agency has been reviewing its oversight of tanning beds since 2010. The beds are regulated as low-risk devices by the agency, similar to elastic bandages.
An estimated 76,690 people will develop melanoma this year in the U.S. and 9,480 will die from the disease, according to the National Cancer Institute.
The World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer in 2009 added ultraviolet radiation from tanning machines to a danger category of carcinogens that includes radon and plutonium.
The agency said it would accept public comments on the proposed order for 90 days.

Bud Fisher's Accident
Hi All,
I just wanted to share with you news I received today about Bud's auto
accident he had late yesterday afternoon. He had a head-on with another
pickup at about 50 mph. Bud's right foot/ankle was pinned in due to the
impact for some period of time and had to be cut out. He was air lifted
to a hospital in Memphis, Tn. His little daughter was in the vehicle at the
time and sustained "NO" injuries.
I just talked with Bud. He is is good spirits and is in no pain. The concern
now is the possibility of infection. The doctors placed screws in his foot
and have taken other measures to stabalize the bones. Additional
operations will be required in the near future. I am sure Bud would
appreciate our thoughts and prayers.
Thanks for posting the info. Our prayers go out to Bud and all his Family. It can be very trying to manage everything at a time like this. I know it happened to me on Oct 9th, right after Stonethrow. We're just glad it wasn't any more serious than it was.

Hernandez was the World Series MVP while with the Florida Marlins in 1997. In 2002, he made a second World Series appearance with the San Francisco Giants, who fell to the Anaheim Angels.
On Tuesday night, Hernandez will add another personal milestone to his impressive nine-year big-league career.
"I won the World Series in '97 when I was 21 years old," Hernandez said. "Everybody has got dreams and you want to make the dreams come true. The All-Star Game is something special for me, because it's something I wanted to do. It was part of my dreams. I made it. And you never know when you are going to come back. I wanted to make it one time. I think it's great. My family is happy."
Hernandez is the lone Expo on the National League squad for Tuesday's Midsummer Classic at Minute Maid Park.
In a difficult first half for Montreal, Hernandez was unsure if he would get the call because Jose Vidro overcame a rough start and made himself All-Star worthy. The switch-hitting second baseman raised his batting average to .291 with 10 home runs and 39 RBIs at the break.
Vidro's improvement, coupled with Hernandez's 6-8 record, created doubt in the mind of the 29-year-old.
In Hernandez's case, however, the won-loss record is deceptive.
He leads the National League in games started (19), innings pitched (135 2/3) and complete games (four). He's thrown one shutout, and his 102 strikeouts rate ninth. Also eye-catching is a solid 3.58 ERA.
"I think me and Vidro -- one was going to the All-Star Game, but nobody knew who would go," the Cuban-born Hernandez said. "Vidro is hitting .290, and he's got good numbers heading into the All-Star Game, too."
Deep down, Hernandez was skeptical that he would be bound for Houston until manager Frank Robinson broke the news.
"It just surprised me because it's something I didn't expect," Hernandez said. "The record is 6-8, but it's not about [the] record. I've thrown more innings than anybody in the league. I have complete games. I'm in the top 10 in the league in strikeouts. The record is important. But the other numbers, I think are good, too."
A lack of run support has also hurt the veteran.
Montreal ranks last in the league in runs scored, with 290.
"I can't do anything about that," Hernandez said of run support. "I go on the mound and do my job. I never think when I go to the mound that the team isn't going to hit. I go focused and try to pitch my game, and try to win."
Despite a rough first half, Hernandez feels the Expos showed improvement in recent weeks and should be more competitive.
"The thing is, we are starting to play better now," Hernandez said. "I think in the second half we're going to play better and maybe win more games. I think we will be all right. In the first half, everybody struggled together. Everybody struggled at the same time.
"I think in the second half, Vidro is better. Everybody is waiting for [shortstop Orlando] Cabrera to come back and be better. These three days off, everybody is home relaxed, with their families. They should enjoy their three days off, then come back and play better."
The fact the team plays 22 home games in San Juan, Puerto Rico, takes its toll. And the uncertainty about where the club will play next season also is draining.
"It's hard for everybody because everybody is waiting to find out what is going on," Hernandez said. "Puerto Rico is like you are on the road, because you stay in a hotel. It's hard for me. I don't think about anything. I go to play baseball everywhere."

A little bit of exercise makes a big difference By Janice Lloyd, USA TODAY
"It's very clear that a little bit of exercise makes a big difference," says Carol Ewing Garber, author of the American College of Sports Medicine's new guidelines on quantity and quality of exercise for adults. "The recommendation to get 150 minutes a week of moderate-intensity exercise is still one of the goals, but the message needs to be heard that doing less is also helpful." http://yourlife.usatoday.com/fitness-food/exercise/story/2011/07/Even-a-little-bit-of-exercise-makes-a-big-difference/49109780/1

San Francisco landlords targeted for elder abuse
Lisa Gray-Garcia, aka "Tiny," led a press conference outside the San Francisco Hall of Justice Feb. 5 to announce that she and fellow activists were filing elder abuse charges against San Francisco landlords.
Clad in a gray pantsuit and flanked by activists and senior citizens who were facing eviction or had lost housing in San Francisco, the Poor News Network founder condemned landlords who've invoked the Ellis Act as "dangerous criminals."
Gray-Garcia said criminal charges were being filed against the landlords in accordance with California Penal Code 368, which creates a special category for crimes – such as infliction of pain, injury or endangerment – committed against elders and dependent adults.
The theory is that carrying out an Ellis Act eviction against a senior citizen qualifies as a criminal act under that law, since an elder can suffer physical harm as a result of being turned out of his or her home.
The targeted landlords were taken from a list compiled by the San Francisco Anti Eviction Mapping Project, a volunteer-led group that published names, property ownership, and identifying information of 12 landlords who had repeatedly invoked the Ellis Act in San Francisco. Garcia read out their names as part of the press event.
Beyond that, however, the announcement was short on specifics. Gray-Garcia told the Bay Guardian she did not want to share the names of the affected seniors because she did not feel comfortable exposing the elderly tenants to potential backlash.
Joining the group of activists was an 82-year-old woman who used a walker and declined to share her name. She told the Bay Guardian she had lived in her Richmond District flat for more than 30 years, and had recently received a verbal warning from her landlord that if she did not move out, he would invoke the Ellis Act.
When Gray-Garcia and others filed into the San Francisco District Attorney George Gascon's office inside the Hall of Justice, however, Chief Assistant District Attorney Sharon Woo first told them that they should complain to the police department, then scheduled a meeting with them at a later date.
Here's how it went:
Guardian video by Rebecca Bowe
In order of appearance, speakers include Erin McElroy, a tenants' rights advocate; Gray-Garcia; a District Attorney staff person whose name we didn't catch; Woo, and Anthony Prince (there because he is campaign manager to Green Party gubernatorial candidate Luis Rodriguez, who spoke at the press conference).
Speak sister!!
absolutely nowhere, and rightly so.
C'mon, Rebecca, what were Sharon Woo and Erin McElroy wearing?
On what planet would a court agree with her ridiculous argument?
Being old is not a defense against Ellis. But being stupid is no defense at all for Erin.
What was she wearing? Typically SF progressive woman frumpwear.
More importantly, what was Rebecca wearing when she wrote this piece and when she did the field reporting? I bet she was not wearing a smart gray pant suit.
What clothing was Caitlin wearing when Rebecca wrote this piece and when she read this piece?
What clothing was Caitlin wearing when h. Brown went all misogynist on her?
function that she was probably "slutted up" some and h. called her out on it.
Maybe he should have been grateful that she wasn't wearing the standard issue frumpwear that most SF progressive women cram their bulk into, but then his disarming honesty and candor is why we all love h.
He's so endearing to people like us, which is to say people who hate women and progressives.
He hates hypocrisy and if that comes from a woman, then he doesn't spare them just out of political correctness.
You can't seriously be suggesting that the fact that all of Brown's relationships with women have been failures, is evidence that he has no problems with women? If it's sarcasm, it's pretty funny. But if you're serious, it's the dumbest comment I've seen today, and the trolls have made some really stupid ones.
the other sex. That's a massive generalization and self-serving stereotype.
When I originally commented I appear to have clicked on the -Notify me when new comments are added-
checkbox and from now on every time a comment is added I get 4 emails
with the exact same comment. Is there a means you can remove me from that service?
Appreciate it!
Gee, I wonder why?
Only political witch hunts.
The DA doesn't take instructions from private citizens, and especially ones with a political agenda.
The jobs of the DA and mayor are to protect local residents from thugs, even if the thugs are multi-millionaire landlords and property speculators. But this current group of SF politicians is smart and cynical enough to know there's much more campaign money and lucrative careers awaiting them and their extended family members post-politics if they take sides with the small group of financial predators and thugs who toss seniors, the disabled, and long-term residents out of the city in favor of wealthier new residents.
If the new replacement tenants are young technology types who work 14 hours a day and then splurge at the city's high-priced restaurants and bars, so much the better. These aspie technology types are the perfect residents: they work all day and don't have time to complain or cause trouble for politicians.
Any vote or support for the current DA and mayor are votes for more tenant evictions. An eviction is an automatic expulsion order from SF since there's there's little housing available and rents are heavily skewed to the top income quintile.
I agree with the activists. No-fault evictions should be highly illegal and their perpetrators sent to jail for a least one year. These financial thugs can use the time-out to think about their anti-social, psychopathic behaviors and perhaps be reformed. Although admittedly, financial sociopaths have a very high recidivism rate and probably need to be permanently separated from civil society.
You're clearly not thinking straight.
This has nothing to do with the DA since his office cannot bring charges that have no basis in the law (unless he wants to risk losing his law license and/or being sued for vindictative prosecution for intentionally bring charges that have no basis in the law) and private citizens have zero legal authority to file criminal charges (they can in limited circumstances make a citizen's arrest, but they cannot file criminal charges).
I get the symbolism, but I think dramatic gestures like this make a laughing stock of housing activist and really trivialize a serious issue. I wish there were less political Kabuki theater and more serious engagement on issues such as this.
Take the issue to Sacramento where it belongs, and the only place with the authority to limit the Ellis Act.
How dare this woman/tiny -- probably on Welfare or other social services/on tax payer's back -- demand more Freebies!
If you own property and pay taxes, you can do what you want! It's the Law! It's contracts!
If you don't like it -- then move! No More Socialism! No Communism -- move to Russia if you want the govt to control you life, in return for 'free' rent.
Arrest protesters who have nothing to do and obviously don't pay anything in taxes or have anything productive to do.
vroom, vroom.
That's either some really bad trolling, or really good sarcasm. I honestly can't tell which.
supporting a tenant for his or her entire life just because they once entered into a "month-to-month" tenancy agreement with them?
Yes, at gunpoint.
your excuse for your opinions is 'law' ... yet you suggest protesters should be arrested, though the act of protesting is not only legal, but supported by the constitution
so ... law only matters to you if you can use it to hurt others, right?
the government trying to suppress free speech.
Slander, libel and hate speech are all examples of how free speech can get you into legal trouble.
Deliberately wasting police time is also a crime.
No you move to your best new buddies in China.
I hope your grandma has to face eviction as then you might see the moral superiority of these activists.
I don't rely on unwilling third parties to do that.
We're supposed to take the rantings of this woman seriously??? She still goes on and on about how Kenneth Harding was shot by police because he didn't pay his $2 MUNI fare. She refuses to acknowledge that Harding was a violent parolee who was A:on parole for pimping a 14 year old girl, B: in violation of said parole by being in SF, C: wanted in connection with the murder of a 19 year old in Seattle where he's from, D: a felon in possession of a firearm, E: using that firearm to shoot at police to help effect his escape, and most importantly F: HE SHOT HIMSELF. I guess I'd ignore those facts too if I wanted to paint a picture of a poor, underprivileged, youth of color being mowed down because he couldn't afford to pay the poor tax of $2 to use mass transit. I bet she thinks that raping POS Lovelle Mixon shot all those cops because he couldn't afford to pay the registration on his car.
not sure whether you just hate facts or people of color? seeing as how what the police said was a gun was proven to be a cell phone, dickhead, there's really no point in going on. you start off with a lie and continue to put your ignorance on full display.
why do so many assholes resort to making shit up ? get some facts rather than repeating the SFPD lies.
Where did the police say it was a cell phone dumb ass? It was a gun. SFPD said something on the ground in a cell phone video after the incident MIGHT have been a gun OR a cell phone. But don't let that get in the way of your stupid rant. Here's a fact for you: Harding was shot with a .38. SFPD doesn't use .38s. Here's another fact: Harding had an extra .38 round in his pockets. Harding also had gunshot residue on his hands. Also, independent witnesses have said that Harding shot first.
A wanted parolee with a gun tries to flee from the police, shoots at them while trying to get away, and ends up either tripping and accidentally killing himself or killing himself because he doesn't want to go back to prison. How hard is that for you to comprehend? Why don't you talk about his violating his parole for pimping a 14 year old by being out here? Why don't you talk about his being wanted in connection with murder of a 19 year-old pregnant woman in Seattle? Get some facts rather than repeating SF Bayview lies.
Shot trackers say no to your theory.
Maybe it was some sort of creation myth.
Kenneth Harding's past, whether or not it was true, was irrelevant in this case because sfpd had no idea of any past accusations made against him when they chased and killed him. They, in fact, did chase and kill him over a $2 bus fare. He did NOT shoot at the police, and he did NOT shoot himself. Vilifying the victim is standard practice in cases of police racial profiling and murder. Study the countless cases in the U.S. before spouting such propagandized garbage.
Shock trackers count the number of shots, more than the officers fired from their guns.
He died the way he lived, like a loser.
You are calling others propagandized?
Harding's past had EVERYTHING to do with this case. If he wasn't violating parole by being here with a gun, he wouldn't have run. If he wasn't wanted in connection with a murder, he wouldn't have run. If he hadn't shot at the cops, he wouldn't be dead.
The cops didn't say "this guy is running because he didn't pay his $2 fare, let's shoot him." Harding was running because he had a gun and didn't want to go back to prison, NOT because he didn't pay his fare. The cops shot at him because he fired first. He wouldn't be dead if he had put his hands up and said: "my name is Kenneth Harding, I'm a wanted parolee, and I have a gun in my pocket."
The comments by the trollsters regarding this most serious of issues is laughable. Most of these folks who spew this vitriol have no sense of morals, justice and certainly have not a bit of courage. Keep fighting the good fight Tiny, a fight that a few such as yourself have the guts to fight.
surprising how many assholes comment here. are there really that many assholes favor evictions of poor and elderly to make a profit reading sfbg, or just a few assholes like to show their lack of respect for human dignity?
I can't imagine why, but as a result, its comments have turned into an ugly troll fest.
Whoever made this decision should read Glenn Greenwald on Cass Sunstein:
Obama confidant's spine-chilling proposal
Cass Sunstein wants the government to "cognitively infiltrate" anti-government groups, http://www.salon.com/2010/01/15/sunstein_2/
Oh yeah. He's the husband of one of the most despicable people in the Obama administration -Samantha Power, one of the most obnoxious voices for imposing "democracy" and "human rights" at the barrel of a gun.
I'm not surprised. Sunstein, Power, and frankly the whole administration -these people have no morals. And sadly, it goes well beyond them. In this respect, it doesn't matter what administration is in power. We're ruled by an oligarchy whose only moral code is "might makes right." If the government isn't doing this crap, corporations probably already are.
censored comments based on whether they were politically correct or not.
Or is it because they've become nothing more than a corporate mouthpiece?
It's good taste.
The number of demonstrably false statements that the SFBG makes (e.g., AirBNB is getting sued for wrongful eviction, a driver was ferrying Uber customers when he hit a child) is excessive. There is never any type of retraction.
You might not like the perspective of the Chronicle but they don't habitually make stuff up to support their narrative.
The SFBG does; it's a matter of record.
not fact check, it makes up facts when the actual facts don't suit their agenda.
Trolls look to get a specific reaction from people (though some people misuse the word simply to refer to people who hold any opposing view to their own).
Wringing your hands gives trolls the reaction they want and encourages them to keep posting. Unless the SFBG staff wants to play cop all day moderating the site's online forum and stop reporting news, there is nothing to be done.
The best thing is to get thicker skin and ignore posts that offend you and focus on what interests and engages you. It's called life, you will be offended throughout the entire course of it, get used to it, get over it, and focus on what is important.
is trolling.
there are a number of positions that are between far right and progressive. For the progressive all of them are troll positions, for progressives there are only two positions, progressive and troll.
The city should be building more senior housing. Expecting private property owners to supply lifelong, discounted housing is overly idealistic.
It's foolish to expect the market to magically take care of people's needs. Only through aggressive government intervention are we going to be able to take care of the less fortunate. I agree that the ideal solution would be for the government to step in and actually build public housing. Unfortunately that's not happening, so in the mean time all we can do is protect the privately run rental stock. But you do make a good point -private property owners care only about making a buck, so privately-run housing is ultimately a poor solution to the housing crisis.
I usually enjoy reading your comments, Greg, even when I don't agree with you, but your statement is grossly unfair. Many property owners in San Francisco are very caring and generous people who do a lot for those less fortunate. Some bad apples are abusing the Ellis Act and they need to be stopped. Don't condemn everyone who owns property because of those opportunists.

Post subject: Porting to Windows
There has been some discussion recently about the ethics of porting Linux applications to Windows. Do you think this is a good, or bad thing? And is there a point - for example, porting large portions of KDE to Windows - when things have gone too far?

Post subject: RE: Porting to Windows
I can understand items such as OpenOffice and Gimp being able to be used on Windows, where I work it has been a very important step towards full Linux client computers, as its not the desktop that the users are worried about its the applications.
On the other hand I don't see the point of porting something such as KDE to Windows.

How about porting a cut down version of KDE for windows which gives a taste and wants people coming for more! Which they won't get unless they switch to Linux or a Unix-based system!
On the other hand, Linux is getting easier to install, and if everyone's favourite software runs on both, and people realise that Windows and Linux are just operating systems, then why get the one you have to pay an exhoritant price for?
I must admit that I don't see the point of KDE for Windows, but as it is GPL software if it can be done within the GPL, I can't find a reason to object to it.

I can't see any problems with it: after all, it's simply a better Desktop than the Windows shell. Once you've used a Open Source application as your desktop, using an Open Source OS can't be far away

How does that impat on the existing "openess" of the code base. Will there be secret kde libraries as a result now. I always thought kde's config files seemed to have a certain MS feel about the, but then, i am a bit of a cynic. Was this an idea of Troll Techs all along. Windows isn't intending to do the right thing and open up by any chance(silly-question.png), or are they going to expect all the compiance to come from the kde end. Do they deserve kde.

That's an interesting one.
I've long held the view that if I can get a user to use OpenOffice.org for Windows then I am half way there to converting them to open source.
However, porting KDE to Windows would be a bit like porting the Mac OS X Aqua interface to Windows - utterly pointless! At the moment the default desktop for a lot of people is still either Win9X/ME/2000 or XP. Why change that un-necessarily? There wouldn't be a lot of incentive for people to switch to a KDE based desktop over a 'classic' Windows desktop.
As for software such as WindowBlinds - I've never really had much to say about window modding software for Windows - I really don't see the point in dressing mutton as lamb. After all, underneath any dressing is MIcrosoft technology which is still unstable and prone to malware.
Any, just my tuppence.

It's quite interesting that there is a possibility that the first real competition for something like Outlook on Windows is going to come from Novell's Evolution (currently being ported by Tor Lillqvist, the man behind GIMP for Windows) rather than another native-Windows developer. I've also seen screenshots of Beagle running on Windows (it's a mono app after all) which potentially covers the same ground as Microsoft's Longhorn search thing and also Spotlight on OS-X.
How do you convert people to OS (if convert is the right word)? I've installed FireFox on every PC of ever person who would let me, but that's probably only about 10 computers. Any success stories?

And I think that this is where the real wins will be made for open source - moving people across to open source applications on Windows.
At a church not so long ago I was able to move them onto OpenOffice.org to replace Microsoft Office that was available on just one PC. Now they have it installed on several PCs.
A mixture of Mozilla Firefox, Thunderbird and Mozilla Suite are installed at work as standard.

I don't think that we necessarily will have to 'convert'
to Linux. In a realistic world Windows has its place, and I am sure that there are things that Windows does very well and Linux does not as well and vice versa.
One of the joys of Open Source is the choice that it gives you. Considering that Windows is shipped with almost every desktop PC I think we should be encouraging application choice on the Windows platform, as well as platform choice.
I'm looking forward to Evolution being available on Windows - perhaps that may encourage more workers to use Evolution instead of Outlook. I can only hope that email servers such as Exchange and Oracle Collaboration Server carry on allowing access.
Feel free to flame me if necessary, but that is my opinion.

IMHO porting kde / _insert_large_desktop_environment_here is totally pointless, a waste of developers time. If a windows user wants to try KDE, boot a live CD.
I agree with Andy in thinking that converting people at an application level is more important, if its right for them of course.
People using OOo, firefox, t-bird, apache, php, mysql, postgresql etc these are all good things introducing people to the idea of another way, and more importantly avoiding vendor lock-in at and application level and keeping open standards, which again helps to avoid vendor lock-in because it increases the demand for open standards itself.

Well I think it would be pointless to port a Linux based window manager such as KDE or GNOME to the Windows platform. I think it would not intice any new users to the Linux OS, but instead users would probably think "Why have all the hassle of installing a new OS, figuring out how to get hardware working" etc, when they can just run it on their windows box! Apart from the obvious thing Windows already has a Window Manager...
I'm all for cross platform development, but it seems a bit one sided, when programs designed and built with Linux, are also usually available for Windows, but its not often the case with applications designed from a Windows point of view.
What would really make my day, is to walk into WH Smiths, or GAME, or any other high street store, and be able to choose commercial games, that were designed for Linux, without having to rely on middleware (Wine, Cedega etc). Maybe one day, this will happen as more and more people come home to Linux as their favoured Operating System.
Until then I won't hold my breath .... just in case

Well, don't forget that Unreal Tournament 2004 ships with Linux support out of the box.
Doom3 requires the install discs for the Windows version - you then download the Linux bits from idSoftware themselves.
Admittedly these are few and far between, but it is better than nothing to have two great FPS games available for Linux.

I think its important that if you buy UT2004, Doom 3 and especially software you intend to use with WINE you ought to let the developers know. For example Macromedia (or Macrodobe - if they've been infected by Mandriva disease) assisted with the CrossOver implementation of DreamweaverMX because it allowed them to test the water for Linux without porting the entire application. In order to go further they need to know their efforts are appreciated (in the financial sense).
The problem is, though, that they might see this as 'doing enough', especially as DWMX runs better under Linux than under WinXP.

Success stories, well both my parents and my partners parents run linux on thier home PCs. My work place is running Linux servers, with Firefox, Gimp and Openoffice on the clients (W2K), in May Half Term we will be rid of Microsoft office completly. Thats about 200 desktops and about 100 laptops. Our future plans are to move to an entire linux desktop. My partners school is around the same place as us but has over 400 computers. I have several students that now run Mandrake at home, and about 20 more that run Firefox. We also, because of the Karoshi project have around 9 schools running Linux servers and firefox/openoffice etc on the clients.
At home, we have 3 computers, 1 server, 1 firewall and 3 laptops which all run linux, I personally haven't had windows on my home computer for over 3 years now....
I think my main problem will be getting the trust of the staff when converting!!

Making KDE etc. available from Windows does detract from the attraction of using linux.
Which would most people rather use?
* Windows, where they can use their normal programs, and great open source software, or
* Linux, where they can use only the open source software?
So if depends on whether you want OSS to benefit people or to take a swipe at M$.
