MSNBC's Scarborough Skewers the Moral Relativism of 'View' Crew
On Tuesday's "Morning Joe," hosts Joe Scarborough and Willie Geist skewered the morally relative, anti-American comments made by the women of "The View" on last Friday's edition of the ABC program. As reported on NewsBusters, hosts Sherri Sheppard and Whoopi Goldberg assigned blame to a British schoolteacher who was being persecuted in the Sudan for naming a teddy bear Muhammad.
After playing a clip of the discussion, Scarborough disgustedly asked, "And I do wonder why these people who are so quick to defend extremism like this-- I do wonder if they have any idea what they are talking about, about these cultures that abuse women." Geist asserted that some violent societies aren't "worth understanding." That prompted Scarborough to retort, "Or if we do understand them, we'll understand how evil they are and they'll need to be neutralized. Possibly killed. I'm sorry. That's just the way it is."
As noted by Justin McCarthy last week, "View" host Sheppard appeared surprised that the teacher, Gillian Gibbons, didn't "know the rules and customs." Goldberg attacked Americans for not being interested in learning other nation's traditions Both these comments led the normally relaxed Geist to remark, "I'm going to bite my tongue for a second...I'm going to think hard of something to say that will not get us thrown off the air." (Although not replayed on "Morning Joe," it should also be noted that, according to Goldberg, failing to learn customs is "just one of the reasons we're called the ugly Americans.")
A transcript of the segment, which aired at 6:59am on December 4, follows:
JOE SCARBOROUGH: All right. So this "View" deal. Listen, I, I'm a uniter, not a divider.
WILLIE GEIST: You are.
SCARBOROUGH: I, I, I want everybody to get along. The women of "The View," you know, they got their issues, that's okay. We got our issues.
GEIST: Sure.
SCARBOROUGH: But, I just got to show you something they said yesterday. You know, the teacher that almost got killed because she let a seven-year-old name a teddy bear Muhammad?
GEIST: Yeah, in Sudan. She was this British school teacher, went there to help the kids.
SCARBOROUGH: People waving machetes and wanting to hack her into little pieces. Guess what side "The View" is on?
GEIST: I don't think there are two sides. So, I'll be interested to hear.
SCARBOROUGH: Okay. Yeah, let's hear this.
["View" clip]
SHERRI SHEPPARD: You know, you would think with her being in the Sudan, she would know the rules and customs.
WHOOPI GOLDBERG: I find that maybe we are not- and I say we just as European and American, we're not as anxious to learn the customs before we go places.
SCARBOROUGH: Okay, so, Willie. There it is. It's our fault.
GEIST: I'm going to bite my tongue for a second.
SCARBOROUGH: Are you really?
GEIST: And I'm going to think hard of something to say that will not get us thrown off the air. So, we should understand that culture a little better? There's another case going on right now that involving Islamic law where a woman was sitting in a car with another man and she was raped by six men, and she received 40 lashes for sitting in a car with a man, a male friend. So, I'm not sure we should understand that.
SCARBOROUGH: And I do wonder why these people who are so quick to defend extremism like this-- I do wonder if they have any idea what they are talking about, about these cultures that abuse women. And like you said, if a man rapes as a woman, it's assumed to be the woman's fault, and you have people going around with machetes, because a seven-year-old boy named a bear Muhammad. Good lord, I just-- I don't understand.
GEIST: We've been hearing a lot of this since September 11th-- by the way, it's the top of the hour. It's seven o'clock-- since September 11th. We need to understand their culture. And in a lot of ways we do. We have a lot to learn about, and I think we have over the last few years about Muslim culture, Islamic religion. But there's a lot of it we don't need to understand. Sometimes there is a right and a wrong and stoning a woman to death for appearing outside or looking you in the eye, that's wrong any way you slice it.
SCARBOROUGH: Or, or cutting off a woman's hand, as the Taliban has done because she reads books because she wants to improve herself.
GEIST: Yeah.
SCARBOROUGH: It's absolute insanity. There are-- We do, we do need to understand the world around us better. Americans have been arrogant for years, thinking our culture is the only culture that matters, but there are some people out there that --
GEIST: Not worth understanding.
SCARBOROUGH: Or if we do understand them, we'll understand how evil they are and they'll need to be neutralized. Possibly killed. I'm sorry. That's just the way it is.
GEIST: It's an option.
SCARBOROUGH: It's like Nazi Germany. This is the same argument, people in 1939, saying we need to understand the Germans. We need to understand Mussolini in Italy. He makes the trains run on time. You know, we don't need to fight them. They are our allies, and look at those people. I need to understand that guy that wants to chop a woman's head off because a little kid in her class name aid teddy bear Muhammad? I'm sorry, I don't.
GEIST: No.
SCARBOROUGH: I don't.

Tyler Eifert will forgo the 2012 NFL Draft and return for his senior season with the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, a source told the Chicago Tribune. Eifert would have been considered one of the top tight end prospects in the draft, after catching 63 passes for 803 yards and five touchdowns last season.
The return of the 6-6 tight end will give the Irish a much-needed passing target for next season, with Michael Floyd graduating and garnering first-round hype. Who will be throwing passes to Eifert is somewhat unclear after after Andrew Hendrix had to take over for the struggling Tommy Rees twice in games late in the season.
Despite the uncertainty at signal caller, Eifert may have been swayed in a meeting with offensive coordinator Chuck Martin on Thursday night. He should be considered a favorite for the 2012 Mackey Award given annually to the top tight end in college football after losing out to Dwayne Allen of Clemson this season.
For more on Eifert and the Irish, check out the SB Nation blog One Foot Down. Head over to our 2012 NFL Draft hub for more news and analysis on this year's prospects.

Stolen First Edition of Philosopher's Stone Found in a Plastic Carrier BagHarry Potter and the Philosophers / Sorcerers Stone
The BBC today reports the recovery in Abingdon of a limited first edition of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, which was stolen from an Oxfordshire art gallery. The copy is valued at almost £6,000 and was stolen from Woodstock's Creative Art Gallery on the 30th of October. A 36-year-old local woman has been arrested on suspicion of theft.
Rare books dealer Adrian Greenwood from Oxford, who owns the book, said, "I'm very happy to discover the book has been found and I want to wholeheartedly thank Thames Valley Police for all the work it has done, and is still doing, in connection with this investigation." According to the BBC article, the book was found on Monday in a plastic carrier bag outside Boots, in Bury Street:
Officers say they would still like to speak to a man seen on CCTV in the gallery. [...] Police said the book - one of between 300 and 500 copies published - was taken from under a display box while the assistant was occupied by a group of people.Thanks to Chris for the heads up!

The Waldorf 6th Grade: A retrospective look at the year's accomplishments
This year the sixth graders stood on the cusp of two worlds. Faced with the ability to imagine their own future and feel their own individuality, some eleven-year-olds were tentative and reluctant to leave behind the safe and often light-hearted world of childhood. Others embraced this new world, ripe with opportunities, and sought the freedom to run headlong into their future, sometimes finding themselves in situations for which they were unprepared.
Common Core Curriculum: A Waldorf Response
...[In the 1990s and early 21st century,] the internet, 9/11, charter schools, Head Start programs, and the push to dominate the global market all figured prominently into the educational goals set forth by the government, "No Child Left Behind," being a culmination of all of these motivators. All the while, the basic development of the child was unchanged; all the while the focus on the child took a backseat to the focus on the nation.

How to Be a Child's Frontal Lobe, or, Creating a Resilient Child by Opal South, AWS Marketing Director
Last weekend Alabama Waldorf School hosted author and educator Kim John Payne for a Friday night lecture and Saturday workshop. A few dozen people, mostly teachers and parents, attended the events, centered around the theme, "Raising a Socially Resilient Child: Breaking the Cycle of Reactivity, Exclusion and Bullying." For me, the events served as both reminder and inspiration: a reminder for why I believe Waldorf is a key component in raising a healthy family, and inspiration for getting back on the bandwagon, turning away from the screens and back toward routine, rhythm, and play. And not just for the kids, but for the parents, as well...

Technology as Teacher - by AWS Administrator, Lisa Grupe, Ph.D.
"They don't have textbooks this year; everyone gets an ipad," said my friend at lunch last week speaking about her 6th grade son's current public school experience. "They do all their work on it. In a way, it's great, but he already has a hard time reading handwriting…what if this moves towards non paper and pencil completely eliminates that ability?" A good question, but to take a step back and look at the whole picture, we need to be asking, What is the impact of this technology on learning?

Miso Marinade with pork chops
2 tablespoons miso paste2 tablespoons soy sauce¼ cup citrus (can be orange juice, lime juice, lemon juice)1 teaspoon sesame oil2 tablespoons cilantro2 teaspoons ginger
4 6-8 ounce center cut pork chops
Combine all ingredients. Marinade can be made a day early. Place pork chops in marinade 30-60 minutes prior to grilling. A good rule of thumb with any marinade is to marinate an hour per inch of meat. Do not marinate chops overnight; the acid in the citrus will begin to cook the chops. Grill to 155 degrees.

Candidates report by 8:00 a.m. to Stan Sheriff Center Security Entrance.
Please limit your guests to five (5) individuals. No tickets will be issued. Gates will open at 7:45 a.m. We strongly recommend that your guests arrive early, as the doors to the Stan Sheriff Center will be closed when the arena reaches maximum capacity.
Balloons and strollers are not allowed into the arena for safety reasons. Also, advise your guests that photographs and videos may be taken from their seats only.
All campus parking will be free, and all parking areas, except the area near the ROTC buildings will be open to the public. Please note that the road leading from the Waiʻalae gate entrance will be closed once the parking structure is full. The road will reopen following the ceremony for exiting only. Plan to arrive early, as there will be considerable congestion surrounding the campus entrances. Those needing disability parking are especially encouraged to arrive early
All candidates must have cap, gown and hood in order to participate. Please obtain the appropriate hood in advance from the UH Bookstore. We ask that you refrain from decorating your cap with items that will obstruct the view of your fellow candidates.
- Master's, DArch, LLM, JD and MD candidates are to wear their hoods to the ceremony.
- DrPH/PhD candidates are to carry their hoods.
The trim at the front should fall at collarbone level. Keep the hood in place by attaching the cord to a button, or pin the cord underneath the gown. The border at the back is turned outward and under so that the colors form a teardrop shape. The cord is attached directly to its opposite button so that the hood does not slip off. Volunteers will assist you with this.
Note: Large bags (purses, backpacks, etc.), placards or signage, beach balls, and pets (excluding service animals) will not be allowed on the arena floor. Plan to have your guests keep your personal belongings until after the ceremony.
Note to Parents: Children (including infants) will not be allowed to accompany graduates in the ceremony. Please plan to have your guests watch your children during the ceremony.
Print your Commencement Confirmation page from the online registration system and bring it to the ceremony. Include pronunciation hints, if necessary, for the reader.

Solar panel installations in the U.S. grew 76 percent in 2012 as the cost of panels and the surrounding equipment continued to fall, according to an annual report by a solar trade group.
You are here
SEIA is the solar energy industry's go-to source for the latest coverage on solar power, including U.S. and international policy, research and polls, business and financing trends, and more. Our staff strives to support the media covering solar energy issues and guide our members on effective media outreach with clear statements, background materials, news and multimedia resources.
SEIA is committed to informing policymakers, the media, and the American public about the benefits of solar energy for today's communities, our economy, and our country.
Learn more from our statements and industry news below.
U.S. Solar Grew 76% in 2012 Led by Utility-Scale Projects
U.S. solar panel installations grew 76 percent in 2012 to 3.3 gigawatts, representing a tenth of the global market, led by large-scale projects in the desert southwest, according to the Solar Energy Industries Association.
Solar Trade Group Reports Surge in U.S. Installations
Partly driven by an oversupply of cheaper panels from China, the domestic solar market had its best year in 2012, with the growth in installations outpacing that of the global market, according to an annual report to be released Thursday.
U.S. Solar Market Grows 76% in 2012; Now an Increasingly-Competitive Energy Source for Millions of Americans Today
Added Record 3.3 Gigawatts of Capacity, Enough New Capacity to Power More Than 500,000 Homes
Solar plant surpasses 1 million panels
The millionth solar panel has been installed at a sprawling desert power plant that will feed energy to San Diego-area utility customers as soon as late spring, the project developer said Tuesday.
Sun Peeks Through in Solar
The solar-power business is expanding quickly in the U.S., helping lift the cloud that has surrounded the industry since the demise of Solyndra LLC a year ago. But the growth isn't coming from U.S. solar-panel manufacturing, despite the money and rhetoric devoted to the industry by the Obama administration. Instead, it is in installations of largely foreign-made panels, whose falling price has made solar more competitive with other forms of power.
Solar panels going up on city buildings
A previously approved plan that will allow many city-owned facilities to be partly powered by the sun saw a new partner added to the contract Tuesday night.
US Army Advances Alternative Energy
The U.S. Army is currently in the experimental phase of an alternative energy program that could make the military a little less reliant on fossil fuels. Out of the laboratory and into the field, the Army's program SAGE includes innovative technologies, such as solar panels, and other measures that are gradually being introduced to various base camps to test their efficiency limits and personnel capacities.
Clean Energy Collective Awarded 6 Xcel Energy Solar Gardens
Clean Energy Collective (CEC) has been awarded six community-owned solar gardens as part of Xcel's Solar*Rewards Community program, totaling 2.5 MW of distributed power generation. Through the new program, Clean Energy Collective will construct and maintain solar arrays, known as solar gardens, in centralized locations across the state.
As Patriots (and pro sports) go solar, will fans follow?
When New England Patriots fans returned to Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Mass., for Monday's preseason game, dreaming no doubt about another shot at the Super Bowl, they were greeted by nearly 2,600 rooftop panels pointed at the sun. The Patriots, known for their smart tactics on the field, are switching to solar power for their off-field shopping and dining complex next door to the stadium.

Brand-New Central Computer Center
Have you visited the busy new computer center on the fourth floor of the Central Branch of the Denver Public Library? Computers in libraries did not happen by chance. Forty years of effort by determined Colorado librarians led to the computers now available to the public.
The first library computers operated behind the scenes. Funding from the Colorado State Legislature helped create databases of library holdings in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The data was originally used primarily for cataloging and for inter-library loan. As the databases grew, uses of the information expanded, though the hardware was often complicated and bulky. Mini-computers, micro-computers, on-line catalogs, modems and dial-in capabilities resulted in statewide networking by the 1980s. Colorado librarians worked to provide the public access to computers. Some people's first uses of computers were in libraries.
By the 1990s, Computers became more powerful. Again, funding from the Colorado State legislature helped institutions to train staff and the public in using the machines. Networks expanded with systems such as ACCESS COLORADO and MARMOT merging. Subject searching of databases became more sophisticated. The world-wide web began to explode.
Though 2004 marked the end of Colorado State legislature funding, it did not mark the end of the growth and popularity of technology in Colorado libraries as demonstrated by the queues outside of Denver libraries at opening time with patrons eager to be first in line to use a computer.
The papers of the Colorado Library Consortium (WH1960) provide access to details of the history of computers in libraries in Colorado. The collection is available for research on the fifth floor of the Denver
Okay, I wasn't exactly
Okay, I wasn't exactly accurate. I just spent 20 minutes or so with a docent that's worked in the "computer lab" for 15+ years. There were never typewriters in the lab; however, there were Microsoft-only PCs, and jobseekers were allowed Internet access upon request. Before THAT, the computers were only used for class visits from area schools! So interesting!
Thanks for posting this
Thanks for posting this history of computers in Colorado's libraries! It has been, and will be, a long road to continue to meet the access needs of our patrons. The Community Technology Center at Denver Public Library's Central location began as a word processing center -- complete with typewriters! Then it evolved into a docent-run computer lab, which had limited hours of operation and 18 computers. Now we're providing internet access via 74 public computers, with 20 more to come. Much of the CTC's current expansion relies on funding from the BTOP (Broadband Technology Opportunity Program).

This half-day Heritage Tour will bring to life the customs and cultures of the five great clans of Hong Kong: the Tang, Hau, Pang, Liu and Man, and provide a fascinating glimpse at Hong Kong's rich heritage. Departing the Pier, drive to the New Territories, the region north of Kowloon that separates Hong Kong from China. Stop at the Man Mo Temple located in Tai Po. Dedicated to the gods of Man (literature) and Mo (military), this incense-filled temple was built in the style of a central walled compound to emphasize seclusion. Continue to the enchanting Lam Tsuen Wishing Trees, two famous banyan trees were visitors write their wishes on red paper, tie them to an orange, and toss them into the air. Legend says that wishes caught in the tree will come true. Leaving your wishes behind, l proceed to the Lo Wai Walled Village, the first of five walled villages built by the Tang clan. Visit the exquisitely decorated Tang Chung Ling Ancestral Hall, built in the early 16th century to honor the Tang clan's founding ancestor. The last stop is Tai Fu Tai, the opulent residence built by a Mandarin scholar in the mid-1800s. Adorned with lavish plaster moldings, ornate woodcarvings and murals of auspicious motifs, its regal interior reflects the superb artistry of old China. Return to the ship following a scenic drive through the contemporary towns and developments of the New Territories.

Please use the buttons below to see more information on Saracens and matches between Wasps and Saracens over the years.
In what was a powerful and workmanlike display of champion's rugby, Wasps smashed local rivals Saracens, 41-0, in a five try romping. Due to the England v New Zealand Barbarians game the previous day, the sides went into the game depleted of several stars. However, the crowd of 9350 packed into the Causeway Stadium, and witnessed what was a near perfect display of rugby from Wasps.
Saracens came into the game with three successive wins, but knew a difficult task lay ahead after Wasps demolished the Watford based side 42-3 at Vicarage Road in October.
Saracens came out firing and offered stern resistance during the first quarter. However, two successive penalties from Alex King pegged them back and Warren Gatland's side went up 6-0.
Saracens prepared themselves for an onslaught from the Wasps backs and bravely fought on to keep The Black and Gold at bay.
The first decent break of the game came from Wasps' winger, Tom Voyce, who made a fantastic break down the touchline that saw the West Country boy nearly score in the corner. Voyce was unfortunately forced in touch from winger Richard Haughton, who saved a certain five pointer. Wasps knew they had to be patient and applied more pressure and it wasn't long before Rob Howley found space and scored the opening try. It started with a catch and drive from the forwards that saw them trundle closer and closer to the try line. King got his hands on the ball and offloaded to Howley who darted into the corner. The conversion was never an issue for King and Wasps opened a 13-0 lead.
The forwards laid the platform for the backs to score as they were simply too big and too strong for their opposite numbers. Martin Purdy, who started in place of Shaw, looked particularly good as the lock made several outstanding breaks in getting over the advantage line. The constant barrage of power and pace that allowed for them to break many of the first time tackles was too much for the visitors and it wasn't long before more points were scored. World Cup star, Josh Lewsey, found some space from less than five meters out and ran in for Wasps' second try. King made sure of the extra two points and Wasps went into the break leading 20-0.
Wasps have been criticized in the past for not sustaining the pressure, and for taking the foot off the pedal too early. At this stage of the match, the game was already won, but the only thing missing was the bonus point.
The forwards pressed on and the backs tore the defence apart. Fraser Wasters and Tom Voyce unsettled the visitors with their running of the ball. The third try was scored by Lewsey, his second of the match. The winger did well to score the try but it was down to some woeful defending that saw him break three tackles along the touchline and score a 'soft' try. King landed the conversion and Wasps stretched the lead 27-0
The hunt was on for the fourth try and bonus point. Wasps had several opportunities to score easy penalties but decided to search for a try. It finally came from another catch and drive as Craig Dowd delivered the telling blow to Rod Kafer's side. The pack of forwards forced the Kiwi over and all Saracens could do was stand around and watch this tremendous display of rugby.
That try allowed Gatland the opportunity to bring on his entire bench. The fresh legs caused more damage as Ayoola Erinle scored a wonderful solo effort from 60m out. The initial break was made from King well within his own 22. His pace and vision allowed Erinle the gap that saw the centre gallop away for the fifth try of the game. King made sure of the conversion and Wasps walked away with a stunning 41-0 Christmas win.
Jonny O' Connor was named Man of the Match but it could have gone to a number of Wasps players.
Gatland said, "Our fist ten minutes was a little rusty and Saracens had a go at us. However, once we got our shape back, we were just too strong and too physical. Apart from their driving lineouts they didn't have much to offer us.
"I felt the Calvisano match was the perfect kick up the backside for us. We didn't play well against them but came back with a win and the bonus point. That game allowed us to focus and re-group for this game.
Gatland added that Abbott had done ligament damage to his ankle during the Barbarians game and will be out for a couple of weeks. Joe Worsley and Simon Shaw are both fine following the same game.

From Business Insider:
Stock Market Correction Vocabulary - Business Insider
The table of definitions is particularly amusing (maybe not to those who are in the market).
Not a good start for the year; but this too shall pass. Some good/cool remarks from (Motley) fool.com:
"Don't panic over the recent market moves, because fundamentals are still strong. The U.S. economy is growing, earnings are increasing, and unemployment is slowly falling. Those factors will drive the market over the long term, and this sell-off will be a good buying opportunity for investors who can look past the short-term market volatility to find great values."

Soda Stereo
BiographyThis Argentinean rock band was among the first to incorporate New Wave, Ska, Industrial, and Noise Pop into a Latin sound. Emerging from the dark period of dictatorship in their homeland, Soda Stereo toured extensively throughout all of Latin America in the 1980s. This continually evolving trio (bassist, drummer and guitarist/singer) absorbed many sounds from the popular underground movements of the day, but never imitated other groups in a formulaic manner; they maintained their dark and brooding side, while still occasionally showcasing a certain silliness. Working with David Bowie's guitarist Carlos Alomar on their fifth album Doble Vida, they introduced a horn-laden, Soul-influenced sound that ultimately reached an American audience. In the '90s, Soda Stereo performed to a crowd of 250,000 in the streets of Buenos Aires, but by 1997 they had decided to disband. The group reunited to play sold-out shows in 2007; in 2010, Cerati suffered a stroke that left him in a coma.

Jim Calhoun released a statement on Friday night apologizing for the NCAA violations after UConn and Calhoun were hit with sanctions on Tuesday. As a result, Calhoun was suspended for the first three games of the Big East schedule next season. UConn was placed on probation for three years and had the amount of scholarships available reduced to 12 over the next three years, as well.
Calhoun took full responsibility for the violations, but didn't say whether he'll appeal the punishments (via Greenwich Time)
"As the leader of the Connecticut basketball program and an ambassador of the University, the buck stops with me. No qualifications. No exceptions," Calhoun said. "Without going into the details of the case or addressing each of the findings and subsequent penalties, I fully acknowledge that we, as a staff, made mistakes and would like to apologize to the University and all associated with UConn on behalf of myself and the men's basketball program."
Calhoun is currently away from the team, mourning the death of his wife's sister. Without him on the bench, the Huskies lost to Marquette on Thursday evening, 74-67.
UConn still has time to appeal both the suspension and other sanctions handed down as a result of a lengthy investigation into the recruitment of Nate Miles. The NCAA found a former UConn team manager, identified as a booster, provided Miles with improper benefits during the recruitment process. Miles never played for the Huskies as he was expelled from school in 2008.

LaPorte Police have announced traffic and street restrictions for the LaPorte Jaycees Fourth of July Parade next Thursday. The parade begins at 10 a.m. and starts at Tipton St., running east to west on State Road 2, (Lincolnway & J St.), to Andrew Av.
Beginning at 8:30 AM on July 4th, traffic will be diverted off of State Road 2. No traffic other than the parade units will be allowed on State Road 2, (Lincolnway & J St.), between Philadelphia Street and Andrew Avenue on the day of the parade between 8:30 AM and the end of the parade.
Regarding the parade route; there will be no parking allowed on the street or in the tree lawns along State Road 2. No citizens will be allowed to sit in the street along the parade route, and no pedestrians, bicyclists or skaters will be allowed in the street along the parade route while the parade taking place. No vehicles will be allowed to be illegally parked in the middle of the cross streets along the parade route during the parade.
Emergency routes for LaPorte County Emergency Medical Services and the LaPorte Fire Department will be Michigan Avenue and US 35, so any citizens wishing to stand in those streets must be prepared to move quickly. People who illegally park along the parade route will receive citations and have their vehicles impounded.
Access to the staging area for the parade will be restricted well in advance of the parade by barricades, as will access to the parade route when it is closed. All motorists should remember that driving around barricades is against the law and they will be cited if an officer observes them doing it.
For events like the Fourth of July Parade pedestrian safety is the number one priority of the La Porte Police Department and any dangerous or illegal driving behavior will not be tolerated.
Parade spectators are reminded to adhere to the city ordinance which prohibits the placement of blankets, chairs and other items along the parade route more than 24 hours before the official start of the parade. No blankets, chairs or other items may be placed along the route before 10:00 AM on July 3, 2013.
Spectators attending the parade are asked to be considerate of everyone around them during the event. Since the parade is first and foremost a family event, officers have been given orders to arrest any intoxicated, unruly or belligerent persons. Fireworks violations that occur along the parade route will also be aggressively addressed due to the public safety issues involved.
Citizens are reminded that due to the crowds, noise and confusion, the parade is definitely not a good place to bring pets. Parents are also strongly encouraged to closely supervise their children and perhaps attach a note to the clothing of younger children indicating where the parents are along the parade route, in case a child wanders off.
The detour route around the city for SR 2 will be Boyd Boulevard to US 35 to Crescent Drive to 18th Street. All east-west streets north and south of the parade route will be open.
The main detour route for east-west traffic through the downtown area will be along Factory Street, Brighton Street, Washington Street, State Street, L Street, Second Street and Colfax Avenue to and from State Road 2.
The detour for US 35 from the north will be to exit the US overpass and then travel either east or west from there.
The detour for US 35 from the south will be either Boyd Boulevard or Crescent Drive as previously mentioned.
We are reminding motorists that the traffic on the Fourth of July is always very slow and congested. If you have a low tolerance for these types of traffic conditions, you may want to avoid the downtown area.
The La Porte Police Department wishes everyone a fun and safe July 4th Celebration!

Part three of "Paths Toward an Anti-Capitalist Liberation", begining my attempt at comparative anti-capitalist analysis
The Classical Model of Central Planning
The first system is "Central Planning". When we think of central planning, the model that comes for most to mind is the Soviet model of central planning that was prevalent throughout most of the 20th Century. Many other countries adopted variations of that model: Somalia, Angola, North Korea, Cuba, China. They all had different variations. But the broad strokes, the broad contours of those economies were centrally planned economies. So, here I'm talking about the classical model, the Soviet model of central planning, as the primary illustration and example.
The dominant characteristics of centrally planned economies are state or publicly owned property, with a central planning authority; the economic outcome of society was generated by an economic plan. There were a variety of different economic plans that were used; there were short term plans, annual plans, five year plans, long term plans, etc. However, the key issue here is that implementing a plan was mandatory. That is why this kind of economy is often referred to as "Directive Planning", "Imperative Planning", or as a "Command Economy". One of the people who was able to capture a big picture of this kind of economy throughout many of the countries who adopted this form of socialism was a Hungarian economist named János Kornai. He described this kind of command economy as "A monumental piece of bureaucratic coordination aimed at prior reconciliation of the process of the economy. Thousands upon thousands of functionaries in the party apparatus, the state administration, the firm, and cooperative management, and the mass organizations negotiate, calculate, renegotiate, recalculate before the millions of planning commands emerge at all levels." (Kornai, The Socialist System). Basically, planners would call in information about the state of the economy and the state of peoples economic desires within society. They would message that information and come up with a plan to be implemented. They would decide who was going to do what, what gets produced, how much is produced and where it's going to go. They would also make decisions about choosing, hiring, firing, appointing, rewarding and disciplining managers of each firm. Like wise, each manager also had similar control over each individual enterprise that they operated within.
The Institutions of Central Planning
The rational behind that system was that the planners could, using as much information as they could gather, get the best possible and most accurate picture of an economic plan for society. And many people honestly believed that they were in the first stages of socialism. They had a grand vision for society and for human beings and therefore had some honorable motivations. However, there were others who were corrupted by bureaucratic power, by filling those institutional roles and relationships within the institutions of central planning, who had information, they had power. They were the planners and managers, what is called the coordinator class. They accrued material rewards that were associated with the kind of power they held over the economy.
There are many reasons and many explanations about why the Soviet model of command planning collapsed. Basically, there are internal factors and external factors. Internal explanations range from incentive problems, what's called "principle / agency" problems (theories attempting to determine the principle actor within the soviet economy: workers, managers, or planners), also "soft budget constraints" and taught economic plans. Other internal factors were war, civil war, famine, and rapid industrial development of a largely rural country that was going to compete with western capitalist nations. External problems were hostile western nations forcing a Cold War onto the Soviet Union causing the SU to focus primarily on military industrialization. But regardless of any of the above reasons or explanations, even if we were to assume that planners did have perfect information and that they could achieve the best possible economic outcome for society (the analog to assuming perfect competition under capitalism), and assuming both, a complimentary, internal and external environment — assuming away all the obstacles — the model of central planning is not a desirable model. Specifically because it doesn't have the institutional arrangement to foster self management and therefore doesn't foster solidarity; it doesn't foster equity or diversity and it doesn't foster efficiency.
Because of these institutional roles of central planners and coordinators, society is sent on a trajectory, over long periods of time developing warped human begins, with warped characteristics, generating a warped society; where the planners develop the characteristics of planners and managers and the rest of society develop the characteristics of apathy. So, when considering alternatives to capitalism, the Soviet model of central planning is not a desirable model.

Library celebrates the artistry of books
A new exhibition at the W.D. Jordan Special Collections and Music Library highlights book arts, a discipline where artists create books and book objects as works of art.
"The Queen's community has an opportunity to learn more about this art form, one not currently offered through our art programs," says Barbara Teatero, Curator of Special Collections, W.D. Jordan Special Collections and Music Library. "There is a burgeoning interest in private printers and presses, and we hope the Contemporary Book Arts in Eastern Ontario exhibition attracts members of the Kingston community as well."
Book artists draw from both traditional craft and fine art to create their works. Some examples of the practices within book arts include printmaking, papermaking, bookbinding, typography, and calligraphy.
The W.D. Jordan Special Collections and Music Library, with its dedication to showcasing print collections at Queen's, is a natural home for the exhibition coordinated by Margaret Lock and Larry Thompson.
"Even in this digital age, there's still something appealing about tangible books," says Ms Teatero. "When classes visit the library to view the collection, the students are absolutely enthusiastic about the printed material. I expect a similar reaction when they see the works in this exhibition."
Ms Lock has created book art for more than 30 years, founding Locks' Press in 1979 with her husband Fred, currently a professor in the Queen's English department. Ms Lock collaborated with Mr. Thompson, proprietor of Greyweathers Press in Merrickville, to create an exhibition that reflects the variety of practices and approaches within the artistic genre.
"There is not a good understanding of book arts," she says. "You can't appreciate the subtle details and intricacies that make book arts so unique and fascinating unless you see the works in person. Ideally, you need to hold them in your hands and read them."
The exhibition continues until May 31. An opening reception will be held Thursday, March 7 from 5-6:30 pm. The public is welcome to attend. More information.

Back in October, WSLS told you about a major economic project coming to Giles County.
The Celanese corporation and the governor's office announced last year the company would invest $150-million to switch the boilers at its Pearisburg plant from coal-fired to natural gas fired. The project was supposed to bring 22 new jobs to the area and take about 200 construction workers jobs to make the change.
Some local contractors are worried Celanese could be seeking people out-of-state to fill those jobs.
"Let's keep local jobs for local labor for kids and people that's unemployed around here" said Toney Rigali, a pipe trades organizer as he handed out flyers to people in Giles County.
Rigali is working together with Southwest Virginia Building and Construction Trades Council president Neal Herndon who says local contractors haven't been contacted about working for the upcoming Celanese project.
"By keeping local people for local jobs it would put them on those jobs. a lot of these projects that come up they bring tradespeople from out of the state and out of the area" said Rigali.
"Unless somebody speaks out or does something about it, it's just going to go on status quo and things never change but this is an opportunity to be ahead of the ballgame a little bit" said Herndon, adding there are 1300 trade skills men in the Roanoke / Giles County area.
"Plumbers, carpenters, iron workers, electricians" said Herndon. "There are capable contractors by the hundreds right here in the local area. When you use a local contractor you keep your money here in the two Virginias where it belongs. It makes no sense for them to do this."
The Giles County Industrial Development Authority says they recently met with Georgia based Overland Contracting Inc.. Overland told them they're going to try to hire as many local workers as possible.
A spokesman for Black & Veatch, the parent company of Overland, said they would be looking to hire locally but were referring additional questions to Celanese.
"As we continue to finalize details of the project with our client, it's too early to know the full scope of the hiring, however, Black & Veatch has a strong history of investments in the local community" said a statement from Black & Veatch.
Celanese said they expect the construction firm to set up a local interview process by June 1, with construction to begin in July.
Herndon says they'll be back in Giles County Thursday with more flyers.
Governor McDonnell announced last year that Celanese had been approved to receive $2 million in economic development incentives.
According to the Virginia Economic Development Partnership:
The $500,000 Governor's Opportunity Fund Grant was paid to the County, on behalf of the Company, earlier this year. The Company will have until December 31, 2015 to create at least 22 new jobs and to invest at least $145 million. It will need to maintain those new jobs at least through December 31, 2017. If these performance criteria are not met, there may be an obligation on behalf of the Company to repay some or all of the GOF Grant.
The $1,500,000 Virginia Investment Partnership Grant is to be paid in 5 annual installments of $300,000 each, with the first payment due 2 years after the Company has created at least 22 new jobs and invested at least $145 million.

There are many gems in the annual report of the Bank of International Settlements that came out on Sunday. One of the most intriguing is a trail which leads to an actual estimate of the cost to society of scientists becoming hedge fund managers.
The trail starts at a section about debt sustainability across a number of countries. It notes that elevated levels of debt got us into this crisis and the situation still hasn't improved for many countries. In fact, for some countries, the debt burden of the private sector has gotten even worse. Check out the last row of these charts on debt service ratios (looking at the red lines): Read more

There will be a new addition to the Denny Hamlin household.
Hamlin announced Friday at Pocono Raceway that he and girlfriend Jordan Fish are expecting the couple's first child in January.
"I'm excited, it's been a long time coming," said Hamlin, 31. "It's going to be exciting to be a dad."
When asked if he was ready to be a first-time father, the Joe Gibbs Racing driver laughed, but did say he'll rely on his parents for advice.
Hamlin has fond memories of his father and said he would like to be "half of what my dad was."
"My family has done a lot for me to get to this point, obviously, with all the sacrifices and all that they've gone through," Hamlin said. "My dad tells me all the time that some of the best times he had was just carrying me around in a pickup truck every day, taking me to work and things like that.
"It's going to be a great experience. I'm really excited about it and to be part of it. From my parents to have grandkids – it's all going to be good."
Hamlin said the couple has no immediate plans to get married.

Top Knee Supports
Stabilizing and reinforcing the knee joint is important for people with arthritis of the knee. Knee supports can help with joint protection and pain reduction.
Viscosupplementation Treatment for Arthritis
A sticky or squeaking hinge can be "cured" with a drop of oil, so it makes sense that a hinge joint, like the knee, would also benefit from a little lubrication. That is the premise behind one new form of treatment for arthritis of the knee. The procedure, called viscosupplementation, injects a preparation of hyaluronic acid into the knee joint, from AAOS.
The Hyalgan Injection Procedure
Hyalgan injections are given as a series of 5 injections. Each injection is given once a week. Although the procedure may vary from medical provider to medical provider, the following is a general description of the injection technique, from The Center for Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine.
Intra-articular Hyaluronic Acid Injections for Knee Osteoarthritis
Viscosupplementation for symptomatic osteoarthritis of the knee is a newly available option. Experience with this treatment is growing as it becomes more widespread among orthopedic surgeons and rheumatologists, from American Academy of Family Physicians.
