Nashua motorcyclist killed in Manchester wreck had just been ticketed
Alan Monas, 26, died after his motorcycle crashed on the Exit 4 off-ramp of Interstate 293 northbound around 9:15 a.m., state police said. Monas was taken to Catholic Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.
Monas had been stopped by Trooper First Class Scott Tracy as he traveled north on the F.E. Everett Turnpike in Merrimack just prior to the time of the crash, police said. The trooper issued Monas a summons for speeding at 86 mph.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation. Police haven't determined whether speed was a factor in the crash, which involved no other vehicles.
The off-ramp, which leads to Second Street, was closed for about an hour.

Friedland Gallery - Naples, Florida
|To view Artists click below:
"Representing the likes of Milton Avery and Wolf Kahn, the Marianne
Friedland Gallery (359 Broad Avenue South, 239-262-3484) stands out as
a spare and serious modern and American contemporary gallery amid blocks
of more ornate, decorative works..."
Established in Naples, Florida since 1990, the Marianne Friedland Gallery specializes in major works by modern and contemporary American masters.
Wolf Kahn, Milton Avery, Al Held, Friedel Dzubas, Jules Olitski, Hans Hofmann, Janet Fish and Esteban Vicente are among the major artists exhibited by the Gallery.
Master American printmakers, including Alex Katz, Frank Stella, Larry Rivers, Donald Sultan, Robert Rauschenberg, James Rosenquist and Jeff Koons also are regularly on view.
Marianne Friedland brings to Naples 30 years of experience in the art world. In addition to the Naples, Florida gallery, Ms. Friedland operated a sister gallery in Toronto, Canada for more than 25 years. She has written art criticism and numerous articles about business trends, been actively involved with museum exhibitions, and is a former board member of the Professional Art Dealers Association of Canada.
Morley Greenberg, Ph.D. joined the Naples gallery as a director in 1990. A collector of long standing, he previously co-founded a high-technology company.
Based upon the complementary business and art backgrounds of the principals, gallery selections are guided by three criteria: scholarship; connoisseurship; and an understanding of the economics of the art market. The aim is to provide works of quality and value.

Since 1962, America has celebrated National Law Enforcement Week to honor law enforcement officers who paid the ultimate price by giving their lives while serving their communities.
U.S. President John F. Kennedy signed into law a measure designating May 15 as a day to remember fallen officers. Since that time, one week during May is designated as "Police Week."
Recently, Gary Catron of the Indiana Department of Natural Resources placed five eternal flame candles outside the west entrance of the courthouse to honor and remember five law enforcement officers who died in Rush County: RPD officer Fred Wachendorf was killed by gunfire Feb. 4, 1922; RPD officer Walter Garrison was killed by gunfire Feb. 3, 1931; Rush County Sheriff Ray Compton died by gunfire Oct. 3, 1932; deputy Wayne Peters was killed by gunfire May 25, 1968; and Shelby County deputy Stacia Suzanne Alyea lost her life on a Rush County road April 18, 1996 while in a vehicle pursuit.
Annually, the number of law enforcement officer related deaths while in the line of duty increases. Many officers and their families have a special daily ritual prior to leaving for work, not knowing if they will return safely home at the end of their shift.
An unknown individual wrote the following tribute to fallen officers.
A Part Of America Died
Somebody killed a policeman today
And a part of America died...
A piece of our country he swore to protect
Will be buried with him at his side.
The beat that he walked was a battlefield, too,
Just as if he had gone off to war;
Though the flag of our nation won't fly at half-mast
To his name they will add a gold star.
The suspect that shot him will stand up in court
With counsel demanding his rights,
While a young widowed mother must work for her kids
And spend many long, lonely nights.
Yes, somebody killed a policeman today...
Maybe in your town or mine,
While we slept in comfort behind our locked doors
A cop put his life on the line.
Now his ghost walks the beat on a dark city street,
And he stands at each new rookie's side;
He answered the call... of himself gave his all,
And a part of America died...

Rated 5 out of 5 by Kimberly01 Cute and trendy I love this piece. I have received many complements from friends. The piece is unique and FUN. August 4, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Laughter10 Thin Fabric I bought this online and was disappointed when I first saw it. The material is very thin and see-through. I understand the interest in having a material that is more light weight for the summer months, however my first glance was that it looked cheap and I had a concern that it wouldn't hold up after a few cleanings and thus returned it. July 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sherley Lidia Polo-love it. It is a very cute, dressier update to Tory's Lidia Polo. I can wear with a white or navy skirt and heels to work or dress it down with shorts, white jeans or some business casual pants and some cute loafers. I love the material chosen for the ruffle around the collar and placket. I was worried the material would make it wrinkle easily but that is not the case. I love it. March 8, 2014

The Dubuque Community Schools Board of Education has released the names of the three finalists in their search for a new superintendent.
After an initial round of interviews with six candidates, the school board has narrowed the list down to Michael Houselog from Belvidere, Illinois; Karl Kurt from Central City and Stan Rheingans, the Dubuque Community School District's interim Superintendent.
Houselog has been the superintendent for the Belvidere, Illinois Community Unit School District since 2007. Houselog previously served as the superintendent for the North Boone Community Unit School District in Poplar Grove, Illinois, and Carbon Cliff-Barstow Community Unit School District in Barstow, Illinois. He has been an elementary and high school principal, director of special services, special assistant to the superintendent and special education teacher. Houselog is an alumni of Wahlert Catholic High School and Loras College. He holds master's degrees from Clarke College and Drake University, and is currently completing a doctoral program at Aurora University in Wisconsin.
Karl Kurt has been the superintendent for the Central City Schools since 2009. He previously served as principal at Independence High School and assistant principal at Bridgetown Middle School in Cincinnati, Ohio. Kurt has also been an adjunct professor at Hawkeye Community College, a school psychologist and a reading instructor. Kurt is also an alumni of both Wahlert Catholic High School and Loras College. He holds two master's degrees from Miami University in Ohio, and a certificate of advanced studies from the University of Northern Iowa.
Stan Rheingans, the interim superintendent and executive director of human resources for the Dubuque Community School District, has been with the district since 2004. Prior to coming to Dubuque, he was both principal and assistant principal of Wilton Junior/Senior High School and also served as dean of students, high school social studies teacher and officer in the United States Army. Rheingans is a graduate of Central Clinton Community High School in DeWitt and holds a bachelor's degree from Loras College, a master's degree from the University of Iowa, and a certificate of advanced studies from the University of Northern Iowa.
Final interviews will be done on Tuesday, September 11 (Stan Rheingans), Wednesday, September 12 (Michael Houselog) and Thursday, September 13 (Karl Kurt). Interviews include a tour of Dubuque, dinner with the school board and a community forum.
Public feedback sessions will be held each day from 4:00 p.m. - 5:30 p.m. in the board room at the Forum, 2300 Chaney Road in Dubuque. The public is invited to attend.
A video of each candidate is available at www.dbqschools.com/superintendentsearch.
The superintendent position was vacated in May after the school board accepted the resignation of Larie Godinez.
In late April, board members voted unanimously to consider terminating Godinez's contract. They cited loss of confidence by staff and a failure to lead effectively.

A Morgan County man is outraged after he discovered a nearby cemetery in the area has been unkempt and tombstones moved. The cemetery doesn't appear to have a name, but Tony Cottingham said it has history.
"I was riding around and I actually discovered that all of the head stones had been pushed out of the way," Cottingham said. "That wasn't the way I was brought up. I just don't understand why people would do something like that."
The cemetery has tombstones that date back to the 1900s, now covered with tall grass. The fence that once surrounded it has been knocked down.
Cottingham said he doesn't know who is responsible for letting the cemetery get this bad, but he has a vision for the area he says used to look much different.
"I'd like to see the cemetery put back the way it was," he said. "The way it use to look when I was little. Maybe put the fence back up that was around it and keep it clean."
Cottingham does not have any relatives who are buried at the site, but he hopes to reach someone who might so something can be done.
"I'll probably start maybe call some plants and see who might have done it or get in touch with the power company or something like that - see if I can find out anything," he said.

Solange Knowles is killing it on the red carpet these days and as a result she's fast becoming one of my faves.
The star lent her DJ skills to the Splendid Soho Store opening party in New York City last night.
Sporting super tight curls, Solange looked amazing wearing a simple white scoop neck tee with a super sexy Maki Oh skirt.
I swooned when I saw this look.
The black velvet skirt, presented during Arise Fashion Week, had a thigh-high split with a sexy lace panel.
Olivia Palermo should be very afraid of losing her queen of accessories title, as Solange opted for a beautiful black-and-coral Mawi of London pyramid and gemstone necklace, a matching bracelet, plus a gold armlet and an iridescent Lie Sang Bong patterned clutch from the Spring 2012 collection.
Christian Louboutin Bis Un Bout pumps perfected this already perfect look.

Sewer flood prevention work will shut busy Worcester road
11:30am Saturday 26th January 2013 in News By Sarah Davies
Buy this photo SHUT: The junction of Ombersley Road, left, and Droitwich Road in Worcester. The southbound lane of Ombersley Road will be closed and a diversion set up throughout the sewer repair works starting in February. (0413230201)
WEEKS of misery are being predicted for commuters and businesses with the partial closure of a busy Worcester main road.
Ombersley Road will be shut to traffic coming into the city between Checketts Lane and its junction with Droitwich Road for five weeks beginning Sunday, February 17.
The move will allow contractors working for Severn Trent Water to carry out a £300,000 project to install new sewer pipes and a small pumping station in Sunnyside Road and Barbourne Road.
The work is needed in a bid to combat the flooding that occurs during heavy rainfall.
David Johnson, the joint proprietor of Johnsons news-agents in Ombersley Road, said trade was "decimated" last time the road was closed by utility works.
He said: "There's going to be nobody coming down here.
"I remember about 20 years ago when they did the gas main and closed the road for three months and it decimated us.
"When they reopened the road it took weeks for customers to come back.
"The closure does seem extreme. They think it will cause less congestion but I can see there being tailbacks along Checketts Lane."
A resident of Ombersley Road, who did not wish to be named, said while the work was necessary, he believed the closure would cause "weeks of misery" for commuters.
He said: "There will be many days when the work that is being carried out is not going to directly impact the major through route.
"But instead of considering the convenience of thousands of commuters and hundreds of Worcester residents, and adjusting road closures to minimise the impact, the convenience of the contractors will be paramount, as usual."
The scheme, which is due to run from February 10 to mid-April, will see a diversion put in place along Checketts Lane and onto Droitwich Road.
Sunnyside Road will be closed during the installation, while temporary traffic lights will be placed in Barbourne Road when work is carried out there.
Frank Thompson, area manager at Severn Trent Water, said the company realised the need to minimise disruption and would work during weekends.
Jon Fraser, the council's highways manager, said the authority worked closely with Severn Trent to arrange the works at the best time to minimise disruption.
He said: "The first part of the work is scheduled during the school half term when roads are generally quieter.
"The section of Ombersley Road will only be closed one way, meaning that vehicles heading out of the city will be unaffected. Traffic heading into the city will only face a short diversion and traffic signals at the Tollhouse lights will also be switched off so vehicles will be able to flow freely to further help minimise disruption."
A public exhibition on the plans will take place on Wednesday at Worcester City Football Club between 3pm and 7pm, where residents will be able to find out more about the road closures and planned diversion routes.

There was a time (recently) when the Utilities could come along and dig up the roads (as they did several times in High Street Worcester) complete the work and just fill the hole back in, not being required to put the finish back as found before work started. That is why we had a patchwork Quilt along High Street with different colors of Tarmac where the cobbled bricks had been removed by the contractors.
When I questioned this with Highways they said they had no jurisdiction over the Utilities.

5 weeks on one of the main roads in to the city centre! Why the hell didn't the highways department allow these works to be carried out during the school summer holidays in order to minimise disruption? Incompetence continues to be prevalent amongst our highway experts, and it must stop now. Enough is enough.

So it seems to me that the idiots in the highways department have allowed a 5 week job on a busy main road to take place outside the summer holidays. This just smacks of utter incompetence from highway officers, yet again.
While agreeing with the disruption aspect, it is my understanding that the Utilities only have to inform the Highways departments when they intend to carry out the work and a slot is provided for them, which normally gives a lea-way either side should more problems arise.
There was a time (recently) when the Utilities could come along and dig up the roads (as they did several times in High Street Worcester) complete the work and just fill the hole back in, not being required to put the finish back as found before work started. That is why we had a patchwork Quilt along High Street with different colors of Tarmac where the cobbled bricks had been removed by the contractors.
When I questioned this with Highways they said they had no jurisdiction over the Utilities.

This department really do not learn do they? I am amazed that a department full of totally useless people can be allowed to remain in their positions and get away for it for so long. If this were the private sector, they'd have been long gone. Their ineptitude in everything they touch is breathtaking. King Midas they certainly are not.

This work has to be done to alleviate the possibility of surface flooding. Are you too dim to realise that?

The usual suspects have rocked up (or is it one with a multiple id?) to slag off the highways department without a shred of wit or wisdom between them.

It is impossible to carry out *all* highway works during the school holidays, there simply isn't the resource in the construction and engineering sector to do this.
All schools and colleges want their work carried out during the holidays too. Do people really think that there are spare operatives sitting in a site hut somewhere ready to be mobilised during certain windows in the year?

I live in this area and I want to know why such drastic traffic control measures are needed.
The Sunnyside Road / Barbourne Road junction is 75 yards from the junction that is being closed.
I wonder whether they really need to take up that much space for 5 weeks.

In order to ease traffic flow during this period of roadworks, I think that the traffic lights at the Droitwich/Ombersley road junction should be switched off as they are only necessary to allow a safe merge of traffic in a southerly direction.

A few years ago there was a proposal for a one way system in this area coupled with new bus lanes. The publicoutcry was sufficient on that occasion to see off the idea.
Would anyone care to give odds that someone at the council will claim that this system worked so well it ought to be made permanent with the addition of bus lanes in and out of town and parking restrictions on the two main roads.
These traffic restrictions will cause severe harm to the businesses that are managing to survive along these roads and if made permanent would almost certainly result in the closure of at least one family business.

They certainly gave the impression that they are doing their best to minimise traffic disruption.
They were open to suggestions of any potential bottlenecks that people with local knowledge suggested and are intending to watch what happens and fine tune things like the timing of the lights in order to keep traffic moving as well as possible.
So pray for good weather and wish them luck.

These roadworks are just going to make my journey twice as bad, especially in trying to get to work on time. There aren't really many other routes I can take either that don't go past schools!
Guess it'll just be a case of wait and see how it affects things.

With any traffic trying to leave Worcester via the Tything they will be held up by the Forest of traffic lights along the Tything, particularly when the lights by the Alice Ottley School change immediately when the crossing button is pressed, then just a couple of hundred yards further you have the lights by the Boys Grammar School then three Hundred yards or so the crossing by the Art College, and a couple of hundred yards more yet another set of lights by the shops, and just a short distance further the traffic lights by the Toll House junction. Unless you are lucky and the lights seem to be working together, it's Stop - Start, Stop- Start.
That is why good traffic lights operating ON DEMAND will control the traffic more efficiently than now. Which of course is the Northern Link.
Thank you Claines.

East Lancs golfers teeing off for cerebral palsy sufferer
4:02pm Thursday 17th April 2014 in News
GOLFERS will be clubbing together to help fund part of a new wheelchair for a 17-year-old with cerebral palsy.
The parents of Jamie Lee Jordan have raised money to buy a powered wheelchair, but now need to raise a further £1,000 for a seating system that will allow him to use the device.
A fundraising 'golfathon' will take place at Colne Golf Club on Easter Sunday. Jamie's mum, Anita, works at the Skipton Old Road venue.
Anita, 46, and Jamie's dad Andy, 47, who live in the Brunshaw area of Burnley, have already raised £12,000 for the wheelchair.
Anita said: "At the moment we have to lift the seating from one chair to the other, and it is very heavy and difficult to do.
"Being able to use this chair all the time would give Jamie such independence to be able to do stuff on his own.
We desperately want him to be able to do things on his own and to get on with his life.
"Physically he can't do anything for himself but mentally he is very bright and he knows what is going on."
Jamie has two brothers, Luke and Ross.
Anita said: "Luke plays for Blackburn Rovers academy and Jamie loves going to watch his brother play, he is so proud of him.
"Jamie also loves being around people, he is very sociable and popular, and he is a big Coronation Street fan as well."
The golfathon begins at 6am. For more details contact Stephen Barnes at the golf club on 07966 218681.

Good idea on the fermentation.
I think it's fun experimenting with different fats in general recipes. I once used duck fat in place of butter in hollandaise, and it was wonderful over poultry. Bacon fat mayo might be good over tomatoes. Kitchen as laboratory!

But what made me migrate here in the first place? Zach Randolph. I appreciate the fact that you are very optimistic and enthusiastic about new players regardless of the reputation they carry.

The right wing Tea Party "movement" has recently and again grabbed attention in the dominant media. On Tax Day last April, it garnered headlines by rolling out its standard high-decibel complaints against "big government," deficits, taxes, and the supposed "radical" agenda of "Obama, Pelosi, and Reid" and the rest of the Democratic Party. As usual, the Tea Partyers exempted the $1 trillion-a-year Pentagon system (which accounts for nearly half of the world's military spending and maintains more than 1000 military bases spread across more than 130 nations), global capitalism, and plutocratic tax cuts (for the rich) from their sense of what is undermining the nation's economic prospects and saddling future generations with unsustainable debt. Also par for the course, they absurdly charged the militantly state-capitalist and military imperialist Barack Obama administration and the corporate-captive Democratic Party with "socialism," "Marxism," environmentalist "tree hugging," peacenik-ism, pro-immigrant sentiment and other alleged "radical leftist" apostasies denounced by such high priests of hard right anti-Obama backlash as Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Michelle Bachmann, and Sarah Palin. Their extreme disapproval of Barack Obama was evident in signs accusing the president of "destroying the economy," squelching individual "liberty," ordering the "government take over of health care" and "wrecking the American dream," among other terrible crimes. They had little to say about the role of the arch-reactionary "big government" George W. Bush White House – an administration that fed the federal deficit by combining massive military spending with huge tax cuts for the wealthy Few (the group that Bush once half-jokingly referred to as "my base") – in fueling the federal deficit and in failing to responsibly regulate the elite financial firms that crashed the economy in 2008 and 2009.
The reigning corporate media describe the Tea Partyers as "anti-government," but they are no such thing. As the black Left commentator Glen Ford recently noted in a commentary titled "White Nationalism on the March," "They oppose the government providing assistance – economic, legal, educational, real or imagined – to those that are 'undeserving,' which in their world consists mostly of folks that can be defined by race, language or religion (using code words, when required by polite society)." Those parts of government that punish the disproportionately nonwhite poor, subjugate nations and people abroad, and protect wealth and privilege at home do not come in for much protest from the Tea Party set. It's what's left of (what the late French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu called) "the left hand of the state" that provokes the "tea baggers'" ire. The (repressive and regressive) "right hand of the state" does not seem to bother them all that much.
"To Have a Sane Conversation"
How should left progressives think about and respond to the "Tea Party" people? According to some prominent left thinkers and activists we ought to be trying to reach out to them and connecting with their potentially progressive populist outrage. In a recent Washington Post column titled "Could Progressives Find Allies in the Tea Party?," Katrina Vanden Heuvel, editor of the leading liberal-left weekly The Nation, calls for liberals and lefties to "have a sane conversation" with the tea-baggers "about taxes, the proper role of government and how to rebuild our economy." She wants "to redirect the shared grievances of progressives and the more sensible Tea Partyers into a productive politics" that confronts "a system that consistently favors the rich and powerful at the expense of ordinary individuals and families. If we could reckon with some of our similarities," Vanden Heuvel argues, we might truly build a broad-based coalition for economic change."
Chuck Collins, director of program on Inequality and the Common Good at the left-liberal Institute for Policy Studies argues in The Nation (in an editorial titled "How to Talk to a Tea Party Activist") that "Like all social movements, the Tea Party wave is not monolithic." There are many in this "movement," Collins feels, with whom left progressives can "find common ground" in defending overtaxed working people against big corporations and Wall Street.
The liberal peace activist Medea Benjamin wants progressives "to begin a dialogue" whereby "Tea Partiers" could be encouraged to link "their anger at out-of-control government spending and soaring deficits" to "what is, by far, the biggest sinkhole of our tax dollars: Pentagon spending…"
The Nation's John Nichols chimes in with his hope the "The Tea Party movement….stays true to a set of core principles that are rooted in distrust not just of big government but of big banks and big business — and a healthy fear of those moments when all the bigs get together, as they did during the bank bailout fight."
"These are the People Who Ought to Be Organized by the Left"
Some of the most interesting and dire Tea Party commentary has come from the legendary Left intellectual Noam Chomsky. According to Chomsky two months ago, the "tea-baggers" represent a popular uprising that could be moving in a more positive peace and justice direction if (to start with) "the left" would start listening with more empathy to their legitimate, working class anger. Chomsky thinks the stakes are high and the mistakes of "the left" are quite grave. "The Tea Party thing," he told an interviewer, "is a real sign of the failure of the left. These people, they're a mixed group, but many of them – I would probably say most of them – are the people who ought to be organized by the left. These are people with real grievances….[reflecting the fact that] wages have stagnated [and]…benefits, which were never very great, have declined….If you look at the unemployment figures, which are always understated, in manufacturing industry its back to the Great Depression. And people are not going to get those jobs back. So they have the right to be mad, but the left is not offering them anything." (Jon Hochschartner, "I Don't See Much Difference: An Interview With Noam Chomsky," Z Magazine, April 2010).
Chomsky advanced more elaborate and grave reflections to a leftist interviewer last fall:
"right now …there is a right-wing populist uprising. It's very common, even on the left, to just ridicule them, but that's not the right reaction. If you look at those people and listen to them on talk radio, these are people with real grievances…And in fact they are getting shafted. For 30 years their wages have stagnated or declined, the social conditions have worsened,…,so somebody must be doing something to them, and they want to know who it is. Well Rush Limbaugh has answered – it's the rich liberals who own the banks and run the government, and of course run the media, and they don't care about you.' Either they just want to give everything away to illegal immigrants and gays and communists and so on."
"… the reaction we should be having to them is not ridicule, but rather self-criticism. Why aren't we organizing them? I mean, we are the ones that ought to be organizing them, not Rush Limbaugh. There are historical analogs, which are not exact, of course, but are close enough to be worrisome. This is a whiff of early Nazi Germany. Hitler was appealing to groups with similar grievances, and giving them crazy answers, but at least they were answers; these groups weren't getting them anywhere else…"
"…the liberal Democrats aren't going to tell the average American, 'Yeah, you're being shafted because of the policies that we've established over the years that we're maintaining now.' That's not going to be an answer. And they're not getting answers from the left. So, there's an internal coherence and logic to what they get from Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, and the rest of these guys. And they sound very convincing, they're very self-confident, and they have an answer to everything. It's a crazy answer, but it's an answer. And it's our fault if that goes on. So one thing to be done is don't ridicule these people, join them, and talk about their real grievances and give them a sensible answer, like, 'Take over your factories.'"
Chomsky's sentiments were echoed in a recent CounterPunch essay by the left singer and songwriter David Rovics. Referring to the Tea Party and talk radio crowd, Rovics argued that "These are people who are often working two shit jobs to make ends meet whereas a generation ago one would have done just fine. They very legitimately feel disenfranchised. These are people with very legitimate complaints, and dismissing them as racists or whatever other label people on the left want to put on them is simplistic." Raising the specter of "a real fascist movement in this country," Rovics warns that the future will be bleak, and ugly, and filled with 'patriots'….if the so-called progressives of this country can't snap out of their Obama-induced slumber, take to the streets and vocally break ranks with both corrupt parties that are driving this country into the ground…"
The "Tom Frank Kansas Thesis Raises its Ugly Head
Chomsky and Rovics are treading some common ground with the liberal historian and Wall Street Journal columnist Thomas Frank. Like Frank's widely read but very empirically problematic book What's The Matter With Kansas? How Conservatives Won the Heart of America (New York: Metropolitan, 2004), they raise the specter of an angry white working class abandoned by elitist corporate Democrats and picked off by a manipulative, fake-populist right-wing serving the plutocratic agenda of the Republicans and the wealthy Few. Resentment abhors a vacuum: if reasonably angry social-democratic progressives (a "Left") do not exist to give forthright and actionable answers to justifiably irate and legitimately oppressed people, it is left to some very dangerous and reactionary forces to capture and channel their popular wrath and turn it all in authoritarian, plutocratic ways. But whereas Frank saw nefarious Republicans moving working class Americans away from the Democratic Party with "cultural issues" like guns, religion, gay rights, and abortion (Frank had remarkably little to say about race and militarism), Chomsky emphasizes the right's use of economic issues (jobs, taxes, trade deficits and more) to seduce ordinary working people in the midst of a Great Recession that Obama inherited from the Bush administration.
There is much to appreciate in Chomsky and Rovics' reflections. Reflecting shared subordination to the same "unelected dictatorship of money" that controls the Republicans and much else in U.S. political culture, the corporate-neoliberal Democrats (whose current standard bearer Barack Obama was rightly anointed as "the Kingpin of Corporate Subsidies" by the liberal political scientist Thomas B. Edsall last year) are deeply complicit in the state-capitalist "shafting" of the American working class. Reflexively blaming the nation's economic problems and related social disparities on the "failed policies of the Republicans," top Democrats refuse to tell the truth about the richly bipartisan nature of the policies and practices – corporate globalization, "free trade," financial de-regulation, overwork, de-pensioning and other forms of benefits roll back, the attack on public family cash assistance, and a relentless employer assault on unions and more – through which the economic elite has waged top-down class warfare on American workers in recent decades. The Democratic Party most certainly is, as Rovics writes, "a hopelessly corrupt institution led by people who constantly say one thing and do another."
There is a chilling and dangerous anger and activism gap on what passes for a Left in the
If the
"The Left" should naturally try to influence and organize everyone it can. Converts from the right and from all classes are welcome (we could certainly use some of the super-rich's surplus capital to help build our currently weak movements). There's always a few (or more) potential allies stuck on the wrong side of the political divide.
The CBS-New York Times Findings: Privileged White Hypocrites
Still, what about the "Tea Party" people? Do they really come from particularly aggrieved and working class backgrounds? Are we really seeing legitimately angry working class Americans being steered into the right by clever right manipulators in accord with at least one key aspect of the famous "Tom Frank Kansas thesis"? Is the "Tea Party thing" really rooted in "the people who ought to" – or even could – "be organized by the Left"? Are these "Tea Party" people really motivated primarily by economic issues and problems and just slightly by concerns and sentiments of race, gender, and religion? Are their grievances really all that legitimate and potentially progressive? Last but not least, are they really coalesced into anything that deserves to be considered a "movement," much less a "populist uprising" (of any sort)?
Based on recently released national data generated by CBS and The New York Times and our own regionally specific (Midwestern) research and observation of the "Tea Party" people, our answers to each of these questions is a resounding NO. In saying this we wish to add that Chomsky (by far and away the leading thinker among all the authorities quoted above) was speaking informally and hedged his argument observations with two important qualifications: (i) "they [the tea-party people] are a mixed crowd" and (ii): "I haven't seen a study" of the social composition and world view(s) of the Tea Party people. We note also that Chomsky suggested a far better perspective on the Tea Party crowd and its political implications in his reflections on the right-wing Republican Scott Brown"s victory over the establishment Democrat Marcia Coakley in the open seat election for the critical U.S. Senate post formerly held by Teddy Kennedy in "liberal" Massachusetts. As Chomsky observed, citing the findings of Boston Globe reporter Brian Mooney, Brown won mainly in the more affluent
That insight goes much closer to what we consider the real heart of the problem. The angry Tea Party right is actually quite affluent, suburban, white, male, older, and religious. Despite vociferous denials from its members, racism remains endemic within the group. It is not particularly working class and does not generally represent people who have been seduced over from The Democrats' corporatism. "The Left's" slumber and quiescence is not so much causing an angry working class exodus to FOX News, the Republican Party, and the Tea Party "movement" as it is simply depressing, discouraging, demobilizing, standing down, and wasting popular and working class energy and thereby leaving the authoritarian sentiments of the in fact ugly and plutocratic, arch-nationalist and racist and patriarchal right dangerously unchallenged.
Who are the Tea Party people? Angry though they may be, these right wing "populists" hardly come from disadvantaged, and working class sections of the
While we are not entirely comfortable with the tendency of some left writers to raise the specter of "fascism" in the U.S. political context (where corporate-imperial "Americanism" seems to hold sway and render classic fascism largely unnecessary and redundant for the power elite), it is interesting (in light of Chomsky's chilling "early Nazi Germany" analogy and Rovics' dire warnings about a "real fascist" threat) to observe that (as Leon Trotsky noted again and again during the early 1930s) the class basis for the original Nazi movement in Germany was found among petit-bourgeois, not proletarians.
One of the Tea Partyers' great gripes with Obama, for whom their disapproval is massive (88 percent for Tea Party supporters compared to 40 percent for the populace as a whole) is that his policies (supposedly) "favor the poor." This curious judgment on the corporatist, Wall Street-captive Obama administration is shared by 55 percent of the Tea Party supporters but only 27 percent of the overall populace. Consistent with this revealing "grievance," 80 percent of the Tea Party supporters think it is a "bad idea" to "raise income taxes on households that make more than $250,000 a year to help provide health insurance for people who do not already have it." More than half (54 percent) of the overall populace thinks that is a "good idea." Nearly three-fourths (73 percent) of the Tea Party crowd thinks that "providing government benefits to poor people encourages them to remain poor" and does NOT "help them until they begin to stand on their own." That (false) belief is shared by just 38 percent of the less affluent broad populace. The Tea Partyers' belief that Obama "favor[s] the poor" is related to their frankly risible misunderstanding of the nation's militantly corporate-centrist president as a "very liberal" chief executive who is transitioning the United States towards socialism. More than three-fourths (77 percent) of the Tea Partiers (compared to just 31 percent of the overall population) consider Obama "very liberal." A remarkable 92 percent (!) of the Tea Party crowd says that the president is "moving the country to socialism" – a very, very bad thing in their view.
As the CBS and New York Times data shows, Tea Partyers are hardly poor or dispossessed, suffering under the economic collapse and recession, but falsely supporting pro-business, anti-worker policies at their own expense. The "populist uprising" of the Tea Party crowd over current economic conditions reflects their own comparative affluence and lack of willingness to share the benefits they enjoy with others as well as a related venomous propaganda campaign undertaken by the Republican Party, business, and the right-wing media, designed to manufacture anger among relatively privileged sections of the populace. In this regard it is interesting to note the CBS-New York Times survey's finding that 62 percent of Tea Partiers support Medicare and Social Security – programs they either currently or will in the near future benefit from – while most of them strongly oppose Obama and the Democrats' health care initiatives – designed (despite the bill's overall corporatist nature) to extend some protections to the poor and uninsured. Most Tea Partiers oppose the expansion of government in order to pay for social welfare services, with 63 percent believing that "we should be reducing the size of the federal government" rather than expanding it. There are some parts of the supposedly evil welfare state that they do not wish to see dismantled, however: programs whose benefits they enjoy.
The Tea Partyers are symptomatic of a broader egoistic hypocrisy among much of the nation's relatively well-off populace. Their problem is not really with big government and welfare (as long as they benefit); rather, they despise government when it is employed to help the poor. Disturbingly enough – and as we will show in an upcoming piece – those who already have health care coverage are systematically more likely to oppose Obama and the Democrats on health "reform," while those who have no coverage are more likely to support the President and his party on that issue. In short, it's the affluent middle and middle upper class who are the most likely to be taken in by the Tea Party/talk radio rhetoric.
Our observation of the Tea Party crowd on the ground in
One thing that cannot quite be adequately conveyed by survey data and which requires direct experiential observation is the Tea Partyers' deep underlying racism. The
One interesting and not so post-racial moment came when John O'Hara, president of the right wing Illinois Policy Institute and a leading national figure in the Tea Party "movement, "spoke to the
Black and Latino residents of the
Returning from the
"Naturally, the average Tea Partyer – when sober – will deny having 'a racist bone' in his body, but any group whose unifying characteristic is daily engorgement on Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck is, by definition, racist. Anyone who tries to tell you different, is far too tolerant of bigoted behavior, assumptions and speech to be anything but a closet racist, himself."
"Tea Partyers live in a world of throbbing hatreds that render them damn near incoherent. They shout and hoot and holler in fevered support of political statements with which they cannot possibly agree. For example, the highly popular "Limited Government" plank of The Contract states: 'The purpose of our government is to exercise only those limited powers that have been relinquished to it by the people, chief among these being the protection of our liberties by administering justice and ensuring our safety from threats arising inside or outside our country's sovereign borders.'"
"That means, the government should provide only police, criminal justice and public safety services, and a national defense. No public schools or publicly supported colleges, no tax breaks for homeowners, none of the public supports that 'middle class,' 'law-abiding,' 'patriotic,' 'taxpayers' with strong 'family values' have been demanding for themselves for the last 65 years. ('And don't you dare touch my Medicare!')"
"Any 'movement' that actually believed in as shrunken a government as The Contract describes would be either very rich, or very tiny. The plank only begins to make sense when understood as a kind of scatter-shot code talk for restricting government assistance to 'worthy' Americans, and cutting the flotsam and jetsam people loose."
Rovics says it is "simplistic" to see the Tea Party and talk radio crowd as "racists or whatever." Without simplifying the complex issues of race and class/classism in
It's useful perhaps to think of an historical analogy when assessing whether – or the degree to which – the Left should be reaching out to the Tea Party. Here is a reasonable question for those progressives who want to "find common ground" with this "movement": if you were a civil rights activist during the 1950s and 1960s, would you have thought it realistic to expect southern segregationists to play an integral part in actively working toward desegregation? Elitist white racism dressed up as the common man's populism needs to be openly ridiculed and shamed to the point where its proponents are either forced to abandon their reactionary beliefs or their racial intolerance is forced underground and is no longer considered an acceptable part of public discourse. Much of the Tea Party backlash is characterized by religiously and racially motivated hatred of Obama as a black, foreign, and Muslim threat. This can't all simply be reduced to people with "real grievances." The Tea Partyers are mainly people of overlapping racial and socioeconomic privilege. They are intent on maintaining that privilege at the expense of disproportionately poor minorities. The ugly message at Tea Party rallies is clear: "keep your hands off my money; social welfare is fine, as long as I'm the beneficiary, but if my taxes go to the poor and needy, I'll scream in the street until they're cut off."
This is a toxic brew. It reflects a culture of greed, narcissism, nationalism, white supremacy, and self indulgence. The Tea Party at its heart is a tool of the neoliberal corporate-imperial state, singing praises of "small government" and "free markets," while quietly demanding massive state welfare subsidies for oneself, and demanding "market discipline," "personal responsibility," and "rugged individualism for the less fortunate. On the global stage, it is worth adding that, as Ford notes, "all but a sliver of the Tea Party crowd are belligerent hawks, as racist in their global worldview as in their domestic outlook. Just as they reject a national social contract with non-whites, they reject any compact with other peoples of the world, particularly the non-white ones. White nationalism is warlike, expansionist, and proud of it – a grave danger to the survival of humanity." While we agree that the Left should seek to make inroads with those privileged Americans who have been seduced by the culture of greed and buy into Republican-Tea Party propaganda, our first task remains mobilizing the poor and disadvantaged who already support progressive policies but have largely been ignored in and marginalized by the political process. The privileged in
We have in this essay consistently put the word "movement" in quote marks throughout this report for reasons that will become more evident in its next installment. In Part 2 we will present numerous reasons to view the Tea Party's claim (seconded by some left intellectuals and activists) to be a social movement or "uprising" at all with extreme skepticism. We will also examine the true elite forces behind the "movement," why and how dominant

Cathy Keates, Director, Career Services
Cathy Keates loves to see the "aha!" moments, when students discover something new about themselves or a new possibility in the work world. As director of Career Services and a career counsellor for many years, she finds students' boundless energy and excitement motivating.
"University students are a joy to work with," says Ms Keates. "They're curious and skilled and bright and energetic. Often I think they don't appreciate how much they're transforming through their university experience. We have the privilege of helping them see that."
Ms Keates began as Career Services director in May after a year as interim director. Prior to Queen's, she spent nine years at York University's career services, in various leadership roles. It's a field she naturally fell into after volunteering as a counselling assistant in the career services office at Western University during her undergraduate degree. She loved, and still loves, the interaction with students, helping them link their own interests and developing skills to a satisfying job.
Recently, Ms Keates' dedication to improving career services for students was recognized by the Canadian Association of Career Educators and Employers (CACEE). She and a team of career services directors from five Ontario universities won an outstanding achievement award for creating a customized online resource. Career Centre Evaluation: A Practitioner Guide helps career centres design effective evaluation strategies.
"We're all doing different things and it was clear we could benefit by getting together and sharing our experiences," says Ms Keates. "We all want to make sure we're tracking how well we're doing and this is a practical tool to do just that. It helps us make sure we're delivering, giving students what they need."
This fall, Queen's Career Services is offering several new initiatives, including drop-in career advising and a workshop called Using LinkedIn to Find Great Work.

vacation rental description
Our family cottage is a single level ranch style layout with (4) bedrooms (three with queen beds and the forth has two twins, a double and a bunk bed; this "bunk room" is great for kids). Four couches offer extra sleeping space in the living room and porch if needed. Two full baths (both with showers). The large living room has a cathedral ceiling and knotty pine walls, very popular and still plentiful in northern Michigan. A large stone fireplace (gas) with a remote control. A 42" plasma TV with cable is in the living room, and each bedroom has a smaller TV. Wireless high speed internet service is furnished. The dining room table seats eight easily with extra tables in the living room and the glassed-in porch. A modern well equipped kitchen (spices included) helps make meals and entertaining a breeze. Laundry room offers a washer and dryer on site. Outside towards the lake you will find a relaxing 3 person swing, a 25' x 25' brick paved patio area, two BBQ grills, picnic table, portable fire pit and comfortable wrought-iron patio furniture, including 10 chairs and two additional round tables. An American flag flying high overlooks an awesome beach and swimming area. The beach is furnished with additional chairs for sunning. The sandy, rock-free swim area tapers gently from shore to the deeper water. Our private dock runs full length from the patio, across the sand, to the lake, with 80' extending out on the water. Room for docking a boat (up to ~24') or other water toys. This side of the lake usually receives a breeze, so few bugs are ever present. The wind coming through the trees can truly be glorious, and the sunsets are often breathtaking, just like in the movies!
The Unique Benefits of this Cottage
We consider Otsego Lake as a very friendly FAMILY oriented lake. It's nearly six miles long with great fishing, sailing, swimming, skiing, boating and relaxing. It has a nearby state park and boat launch, and a marina for boat gas and repairs. Live bait is available nearby. A terrific sandy beach and dock are at your disposal. The swimming area is rock-free, and tapers gradually from shallow to deep for kids and grownups alike. We have an outdoor swing, plenty of patio furniture, a large charcoal BBQ (and also a new gas grill) to make the lakefront vista even more enjoyable. Our vacation cottage is within a block of a little convenience store (Al's Market) and our family would often take a walk for candy or ice cream (adult beverages and pizza also available). Snowmobile rentals and dealerships with all four major brands are close by. The groomed state snowmobile trail system runs right along the east side of the lake, connecting you to statewide system, just 60 seconds from our cottage. Trips to Grayling, Lewiston, Indian River, East Jordan and beyond are common from our cottage, with gas stations only a few minutes away. Winter draws many onto Otsego Lake itself for ice fishing, cross country skiing and snowmobiling. There is even a serious snow sledding hill a few miles away used by kids and adult thrill-seekers! The Gaylord area is known as the "Golf Mecca". Nearly 30 golf courses, some with legendary architects, are within 5 to 30 minutes of our cottage. Only five minutes to Marsh Ridge, The Loon, Michaywe for golf, and within ten minutes to Treetops and Otsego Club resorts, for both golf and skiing. And as little as 30 minutes to Boyne Mountain, Boyne Highlands, Nubs Nob and many other resorts. Less than an hour to Petosky, Harbor Springs and Mackinaw Island ferry. Other terrific lakes, including Charlevoix, Burt, Mullet, Torch and Walloon are within an hour drive for a day trip. All without the constraints of a motel, and with all the comforts of home!

A passenger who was injured in the hard crash landing at La Guardia Airport last month is suing Southwest Airlines.
Jacqueline Young of Jonesville, South Carolina was on the flight from Nashville that made a hard nose-first landing on July 22.
Young claims she suffered permanent injuries from the accident. She filed a lawsuit in Queens, seeking unspecified compensation for her injuries.
The lawsuit is the first one the airline is facing after 16 passengers were injured in the landing. Federal investigators have said that the plane touched down on its front nose wheel before the sturdier main landing gear in the back touched down.

More Than A Mere Matter Of Marching
A Bicentennial War of 1812 Project
By OGS, Niagara Peninsula Branch
In recognition of the 200th Anniversary of the War of 1812, the Niagara Peninsula Branch has compiled a commemorative book, which we hope you will enjoy. It is a fascinating account of more than 60 family stories of Ancestors whose lives were impacted by a war which was a catalyst in uniting the people of Upper Canada. It will give you a glimpse into what it was like to be there and the hardships ordinary people endured. This engaging book has resulted in over 300 pages including colour images and an index of over 1700 names.
This collection of stories is about those valiant men and women who found themselves in the midst of battle in the War of 1812. Some took up arms; many of them lost everything they owned. When former President of the United States, Thomas Jefferson, made the now famous remark, "The acquisition of Canada this year, as far as the neighborhood of Quebec, will be a mere matter of marching, and will give us experience for the attack of Halifax the next, and the final expulsion of England from the American continent." He underestimated both the determination of Canadians and their First Nation allies to remain separate from the American Republic and the efforts of Britain to retain the northern part of North America.

Excelsior Springs' smoking ban begins on the Fourth of July, and some aren't happy with it.
Patrons and employees at restaurants and bars will now have to go outside to light up. And business owners believe it will hurt sales.
Proponents of smoking bans say it's good for public health.
The ordinance bans smoking in enclosed businesses, clubs and other public places.
Members at the Clay-Ray Veterans Hall said the smoking ban is a slap in the face to those who have fought to protect our freedoms. Some fear it will mean less money for scholarships and flags.
The hall was a private club but was converted to a public facility in hopes of growing its membership and staying open.
"It's a crap shoot," said Dennis Heine, president of the veterans hall. "We don't know what's going to happen."
He said most patrons at the hall are smokers. He also said membership is down to just 300 veterans due to the age and he fears the ban will cause a further dwindling.
He said the hall depends on smokers to stay open. The fear is smokers will seek other venues to play bingo and enjoy social conversation.
"Even if it was 10 percent, we are razor thin on our profit margins here and any loss is consequential to us," Heine said. "We have served to maintain the freedom of the people here and now the government is stepping in. And this is not right."
Opponents to the ban say they will continue to fight to have the ordinance amended or thrown out.
Anyone caught violating the ordinance can be fined $50 and the business faces a $100 fine.
Outdoor smoking has to be 10 feet from the front entrance. Smoking can be done around other doors.
The ban was voted on by about 800 of the city's nearly 6,000 registered voters and passed by about 100 votes.
