The LMP Model: Bottlenecking Merchant Transmission
York and New England by increasing energy deliverability between the areas. NYISO has determined that the additional transmission capacity provided by the CSC will increase the limited quantity of capacity import rights from New England to New York, decrease the ICAP locational requirements for Long Island, 3 and potentially reduce NYISO's statewide ICAP requirement by allowing additional sharing of resources across the Northeast. The CSC could provide similar resource adequacy benefits to New England, although as yet no commensurate property rights have been defined or allocated to the expansion.
Since the Cross Sound Cable is a merchant transmission facility, the resource adequacy benefits of the transmission expansion should be collected as a property right and provided to the transmission expander as an offsetting benefit for the investment in the transmission facility.
Market participants in NYISO created UDRs or capacity deliverability rights for the purpose of capturing the resource adequacy benefits of the transmission expansion and allocating them to the transmission expansion. In the case of the Cross Sound Cable, the Long Island locational ICAP requirement will remain unchanged, but the CSC will be allocated approximately 315 MW of UDRs that, when combined with qualified capacity resources in New England, will count toward the Long Island locational ICAP requirement. The CSC UDR is essentially a capacity deliverability right between the two regions. The value of the UDR will approximate the difference in capacity costs between the New England market and the higher-priced, constrained, Long Island market less any transaction costs. UDRs can be used by the transmission expander or sold bilaterally to other customers to be used to meet their locational capacity requirement and allow the valuing of the capacity benefit of merchant transmission. Defining the development of UDRs and their assignment to the transmission expander provides one additional incentive to undertake economic improvements to the grid.
The Future of Merchant Transmission
Merchant transmission can play an important role in improving transmission infrastructure, but merchant transmission expanders should be distinguished from transmission owners with the opportunity to be reimbursed through cost-based rates. Merchant transmission expanders are much more sensitive to market structures and economic price signals than are traditional regulated transmission providers that can average the costs of a transmission expansion along with existing transmission costs into regulated rates. Thus, merchant transmission is particularly sensitive to the underlying market rules and getting the prices right.
Supportive market structures identify areas where merchant transmission adds value, defines property rights associated with this added value and allocates them to the transmission expander, allows for the transferability of these rights, and avoids regional differences that extend old or create new seams issues. Although regulatory certainty cannot be assured, the rights created should be as robust and permanent as possible and incorporated in formal tariff language, with revisions requiring FERC approval. Certainty and stability of property rights and the market rules that support them improves the viability of structural solutions. Transferability of property rights allows parties that have transmission development skills to develop facilities on behalf of other parties who may have a specific need for the

Working Girl
Wednesday, March 19th, 2014 | Posted under Money
My last day of work at the Rye Running Company (the running store in New York I worked at) was two days before I moved to Minnesota, and I had no intention of working outside the home. My freelance gigs were ramping up and I was feeling good about the situation. However, freelance isn't the most predictable source of income and since I'm not getting any financial aid this term either, we thought it would be smart for me to pick up a more regular part-time job.
Well, that turned into two part-time jobs!
The first job, which I started last week, is a Dietary Aide at a long-term nursing home in Minneapolis. Dietary aide is the main nutrition-related job that a Nutrition student can get. I basically work in a glorified cafeteria, but all the people we serve are elderly, very sick and unable to take care of themselves. Although there's not a lot of direct nutrition involved in my particular job, but getting involved in the food service industry is a great boost to my resume and internship applications once I finish college in a couple years.
The second job, which I'm starting this week, is a Bookseller at Barnes and Noble. Woohoo! This really has nothing to do with my future career, but I saw that the Barnes and Noble just two blocks from my apartment was hiring and Erik thought it would be a fun place to work there. Having worked retail gigs for a year now, I knew I could handle it. I had inquired at the nearby running store to see if they were hiring, but they sadly were fully staffed and not looking for any new staff. Bummer.
Anyway, I'm still figuring out exactly how many hours I'll be working at each job. The dietary aide gig is 2-3 days a week, plus every other weekend, but the shifts are only 3.5 hours each. The B&N gig will be 4-6 hours a couple times a week. So I'll roughly work between 20 and 30 hours, depending on the week, which is solid money and since I'm only taking two classes this semester, it won't be too overwhelming.
I'm not sure what things will look like when I'm taking a full course load in the fall, but I'll worry about that when I get there! Besides, I've learned over the years that I really need to stay busy in order to stay focused. Otherwise I tend to procrastinate because I think I have "all the time in the world." When I know I need to get something done because I don't have much time, I get it done!

A crowd-pleasing night
The Premier League met the Premier Development League Tuesday night at Buena High, where more than 3,300 soccer fans paid to watch the home side lose 5-0 and everyone went home happy.
Five different players scored goals as Burnley Football Club, less than four weeks from its debut in the English Premier League, pushed past the Ventura County Fusion 48 hours before the Fusion's postseason debut in the fourth tier of American Soccer.
Burnley manager Owen Coyle labeled the exercise "a great night out," having seen his team of professionals respond to an early test.
Fusion general manager Ranbir Shergil proclaimed it "the greatest night in Fusion history," having seen his team play before the biggest crowd in its three-year history.
No doubt the occasion would have increased in Fusion coach Graham Smith's mind had Fusion strikers Anthony Hamilton and Artur Aghasyan converted one of their three one-on-one chances with Burnley goalkeeper Brian Jensen in the first 11 minutes.
"I thought the first 10 minutes, they started better," said Coyle. "Brian had to make a big save and he did. That's what he's there for. He did it all last season and will continue to do that.
"Then I thought we started to show some real quality on the ball, scoring some very good goals and could have had a few others.
The Fusion's Irish winger, Bryan Byrne, gave new Burnley signing Brian Easton a difficult time in the first half. Hamilton was played through on goal in the 11th minute. Aghasayan was sprung on a breakaway in the final minute of the first half. Jensen, nicknamed "The Beast," sprawled to make the save on both occasions.
"I think we were a quite surprised, because they were very good," said Burnley winger Chris Eagles.
"It was a chance to see where we're at against on the best teams in the world," said Fusion fullback Brennan Tennelle. "The big difference was we didn't capitalize on their mistakes and they capitalized on ours."
In between Jensen saves, Burnley took hold of the game.
Burnley midfielder Chris McCann opened the scoring in the 14th minute with a ringing shot from 18 yards.
With his lightning quickness and dancing skills on the wing, teenage trialist Fernando Guerrero must have convinced the handful of Burnley supporters who had traveled 6,000 miles from Lancashire for the match.
The Ecuadorian earned a 39th-minute penalty for striker Steven Fletcher to finish and, seconds after hitting the Fusion post in the 70th minute, converted a diving header from Wade Elliott's cross.
"He's a young kid with a lot to learn in the game," said Coyle. "Certainly not the finished article. But he's the type of player that I like. He's exciting. We've got a few of them, but I like four or five of them."
Guerrero opened the eyes of the player playing on the opposite wing, Chris Eagles, who converted a pull back from Fletcher from the penalty spot in the 27th minute for the second Burnley goal.
"He's very good," said Eagles of Guerrero. "I'm very pleased for him. He's great to play with him. I appreciate the way he plays."
The feeling was mutual.
"I'm happy to be here, both in Los Angeles and with the team," said Guerrero through a translator while signing autographs after the match.
Less than 48 hours away from its postseason debut Thursday night against the Los Angeles Legends at Buena High, the Fusion was left to weigh the experience.
"We've got a lesson on the art of clinical finishing," said Smith. "We also got a lesson in the art of closing down.
"We'll take the lessons and hopefully use them Thursday."

You need to back the locking knob out a long way, until you can't see it up the mount hole, then the bracket should slide down on the stand the full way, it should cover all the silver top portion of the stand, then tighten the locking knob.
Thanks for the info , have just tried that but it still does not go the full way as the top of the stand screw hits the bottom of the brackets swivel part meaning the screw that secures it to the stand is sitting only half way contacted on the shaft edge it seems secure but looks odd maybe its just the way it is ! Once the umbrellas arrive if they ever do will have more of an idea of how solid it all is.
thank you
In that case you need one of these.

Mutually Exclusive
Definition of 'Mutually Exclusive'
A statistical term used to describe a situation where the occurrence of one event is not influenced or caused by another event. In addition, it is impossible for mutually exclusive events to occur at the same time.
Investopedia explains 'Mutually Exclusive'
For example, recording two separate roles of one die are mutually exclusive events. Whatever number the dice displays on its first roll will have no impact on what number is rolled the second time. In addition, it is impossible for the first and second roll to occur at the same time.

Cringe-Worthy!Wednesday, March 19th, 2014
Here's another thing I done did. It's the cover art for an anthology of comics published by Birdcage Bottom Books! It should be out in time for SPX, whenever that is! Soon, I'll bet!
Last Weeks in Next Week in NYC!Friday, February 28th, 2014
Here is the last handful NWinNYC! comics. I'll be putting the strip on hiatus for a while to focus on bigger problems. I mean projects, of course, but more on that later. I enjoyed doing these strips for The NY Observer and hope to do some more in the future. But these are the last of them for now so read 'em slow. And if you find yourself jonesing for some Big Apple humor, you can always score a copy of If New York City Was The World. It's a collection of strips about the city that never sweeps, and a sort of precursor to NWinNYC! that ran in a Manhattan neighborhood paper back way back when those kinda things still existed. But the humor contained with in is as fresh as a NYC breeze. It's way out of print but you can actually get a signed copy from me through Amazon. In the meantime, enjoy!
Next Week in NYC! Comic Strip Catch-Up!Monday, May 6th, 2013
I missed re-posting a whole slew of past week Next Week in NYC! strips from The Observer lately. What? You hadn't noticed? Well no worries! Here's a batch from April for you, still as fresh today as the day they were first slapped onto bristol. New strips appear each week in the paper and at The Observer online every Tuesday or Wednesday or so.

Wow! Suddenly, I'm front page news! Not really, but that is my name right up there next to Sam Henderson's Hysterical Hipster Hulk. That's because starting this past week I have an all-new, weekly comic strip featured in The New York Observer. It's called, NEXT WEEK in NYC! Any fans of my old NYC comic strip collection, If New York City Was The World will certainly want to check it out. Last week's NEXT WEEK in NYC! strip can be seen here. New strips appear every wednesday in both the print and online versions of The Observer. It's a work in progress and I'm still ironing out all the details but it's a real treat to be contributing a weekly feature to The Observer and I'm looking forward to trying and make New Yorkers both laugh and scratch their head in wonder for as many weeks to come as possible. It's a dream job but it's tough crowd, so wish me luck. Details to come…

(Other tricks I know, – which I may or may not perform at the event – include sitting, rolling over and playing dead.) Regardless, it will all be accompanied by an array of, if I may say, quite fetching images. I believe a visit to some of the museum's galleries and some sort of on-hands drawing workshop are also involved. It's free and open to teens 11-18. Find out more and sign up here. And there's a Facebook page for you to like, too. C'mon! I won't (totally) bite.

Some High Praise for the Met's Family MapMonday, November 5th, 2012
I am pleased and proud to say that the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Family Map was included as one of the ten best maps of the year by the Places & Spaces: Mapping Science Exhibit. The exhibit is a 10-year effort wherein each year, 10 new maps are added to the collection resulting in a total of 100 maps in 2014. This year's iteration, the eighth, focused on science maps for kids aged 5-14. There are some really great maps in the exhibit. I'm flattered to have my work cited among them and appreciate the opportunity the exhibit offers to expand the poster's audience outside the museum itself as well as draw attention to its online version.

The increasingly accepted BYOD trend in the enterprise may cause a disconnect between the expectations of employees and the reality of their employers' IT environment, Suzuki says. Although employees will see their tablets' compatibility with Windows applications as an opportunity to improve productivity, their migration-fatigued employer will treat it as just another personally owned device. From there, conflict is likely to ensue, Suzuki says.
"The potential implications are then that all other people start bringing their Windows 8 devices as their sole computing platform and the expectation is if they bring it to work then they can do all of their work on it," he says. "Technically, it's an unmanaged device because you may not be set up to lay down antivirus or all of the applications that you use to secure the network on that new platform. You may not have the licenses to do so."
Silver also acknowledged that, if this Windows 8 consumerization trend were to become significant, there will be "certain accommodations organizations need to make for personally owned Windows machines."
Beyond the complaints from end users who may feel entitled to compatibility between their personal Windows 8 device and their work PC, the IT department will further be plagued with the addition of new hardware running yet another mobile OS on the network. That means installing more clients on more devices, which, while necessary, "does get some user backlash," Silver says.
Suzuki toyed with the idea that Microsoft may execute a successful "bottom-up" approach, in which consumer adoption of Windows 8 devices may cause such a disruption in the workplace that enterprise customers are forced to upgrade to Windows 8. However, he added that it would take years if that trend were to even gain traction.
Silver also speculated as to whether Microsoft could ever see enterprise interest in Windows 8. But, considering the current climate for OS migration, he concluded that it would be a long time for that to happen, which means the IT department could be in for a long wait for Windows 8 harmony.
"On PCs, if Microsoft is lucky, I think it's more likely that organizations will decide that at some point in the future, maybe sometime in 2015, maybe they'll bring in Windows 8 for their new PCs," Silver says. "But I really don't see that many organizations deploying it on existing PCs, and even on new PCs I think there will be a lot of organizations that try to skip it entirely."

Willes: First up for Linden is the GM search
Vancouver Canucks president has a short list, which must include Benning, and interviews start next week
Ed Willes, The ProvincePublished: Thursday, May 01, 2014
The Vancouver Canucks are coming off a season in which they finished with the sixth worst - or, depending on your point of view, 24th best - record in the NHL and have now fired their general manager and their coach.
On the other hand, they did get 14 goals out of Zack Kassian.
I mean, the Canadian Senate had a better year, and given everything that's transpired in the last couple of months, you might say there's a fair bit riding on what happens next in Trevor Linden's administration. The problem, to date, is nothing has happened in Linden's administration and, because the Canucks are already overdrawn on their goodwill account, this has caused considerable anxiety among the faithful.
Vancouver Canucks president of hockey operations Trevor Linden gestures as he leaves the podium after announcing Thursday that head coach John Tortorella and assistant coach Mike Sullivan have been let go.
Gerry KahrmannEmail to a friendPrinter friendly
That anxiety is not misplaced. But before a state of emergency is declared, let's consider a plausible scenario for what's taking place and see if that lowers blood-pressure levels in Canuckdom.
On Thursday, Linden held a press conference that announced the termination of John Tortorella, and rarely has the firing of a head coach rated as a sidebar to the main story. The only surprising thing about the announcement is it came almost three weeks after the conclusion of the regular season.
The Canucks are in the process of reinventing themselves. It would be hard to sell a newly imagined team with a coach who just oversaw the worst Canuck regular season in 15 years.
No, Torts had to go and that leaves the question of who succeeds him - and, more to the point, who hires his successor - as the more relevant issue for the franchise. Linden was asked about this a couple of times on Thursday. And while he wasn't an open book on the subject, what he did say was revealing.
More than once, Linden said he'd like the new GM to hire the coach but the two searches were not exclusive to each other. He also said he has a short list of GM candidates and he'd begin the formal interview process next week.
Now, none of this eases the timeline pressure under which Linden is working. But if you believe he's 80 per cent toward making his decision, things start to make a little more sense.
Bruins assistant general manager Jim Benning remains the leading candidate for the job, and at this point, it's virtually Benning against the field. Linden said he hoped to have his GM in place by the end of May, but if it takes that long, it's because the Bruins have requested Linden hold off or the process has gone off the rails.
If Benning doesn't get the job, in fact, it would be because he's turned down the Canucks, not vice versa. His candidacy makes so much sense on so many levels - the Bruins' winning pedigree, he's worked in the president-GM model with Cam Neely and Peter Chiarelli, he's a former teammate of Linden's - it's hard to see this going any other way.
There is, however, a bit more drama involving the new coach.
Linden said the coaching search would run parallel to the GM search, and if he's that keen on Benning, it's hard to see where he'd jeopardize their working relationship by hiring a coach without consulting his new GM.
That's not to say Benning would be opposed to Barry Trotz or, if he's available, Todd McLellan. But if the Canucks hire, say, John Stevens, things might get tense.
All of this puts considerable pressure on Linden, who has to conduct some sensitive negotiations while the clock is ticking toward the draft (June 27) and free agency (July 1). On Thursday, he had the look of a man with a plan and that plan seems to feature Benning.
If it doesn't, this will get very interesting, very quickly.
"Ultimately there are several options," Linden said. "But the timing is tricky. There's no question. I made this decision (to fire Tortorella) on what's best for the team, not necessarily on the timing for a general manager.
"That may happen quicker than I think. It may happen later. I think starting with a clean slate will be important."
There's no question about that. But he'll have to handle things cleanly to provide that clean slate.

Philadelphia Police say a "significant" propane tank leak led to a food truck explosion on Tuesday. The giant fireball put 13 people in the hospital. Five are still in critical condition including the mother and daughter inside cooking.
Back here in Austin there are food trucks on many-a-street corner.
Willy Pearce owns "Way South Philly Authentic Cheese Steaks" on Sixth and Waller. He's from Philly himself and was shocked by the video.
"I watched that for the first time just about an hour ago. My jaw dropped, I almost fell out of my seat. As with anything you do, safety first," he said.
Pearce says food truck operators have to pay attention to their surroundings. He says his tank is properly ventilated so he can smell if something has gone wrong.
"I've come in in the morning, maybe a year or so ago and I could smell propane and I could hear it and I just addressed the issue right away," Pearce said.
Round Rock Fire Marshal Dennis Kincheloe says they're constantly inspecting propane tanks as food vendors come in for events throughout the year, including this Fourth of July weekend.
"We make sure that they're in a well-vented area. They can't be underneath a frame of the vehicle, they can't be on the bumper, they can't be on the roof," he said.
Wednesday afternoon at The Picnic, we spoke with a family visiting Austin who had seen the explosion video at the airport. They've been to food trucks before and they're not afraid eating at the ones here in Austin after seeing it.
"It's not really an issue, you don't think about it. But like I was telling you earlier, you just don't know when stuff like that's gonna happen," the man said.
Pearce says he's planning on talking with his staff again about safety and hopes other food truck operators will do the same.
"They already know. However, it doesn't hurt to talk about it more. And I want to show them the video, not to freak them out because that's the last thing I want to do. But I do want to make an impression saying if there's anything out of the ordinary, whether it be propane or something else, get it addressed right away," Pearce said.
Police in Philly say the tank with the leak in it was later found 95 feet from the truck.
The ATF is also investigating to make sure foul play wasn't a part of this.

Mourinho's struggles with Madridismo
Real Madrid sit five points clear in La Liga. Last weekend, the club completed the first half of the Spanish league season with a club record number of points (49) and goals (67). They qualified from their Champions League group with a 100 percent record and the best goal average of any side in Europe's premier club competition. After their 4-1 victory over an in-form Athletic Bilbao on Sunday, José Mourinho's side have won 23 of their last 25 games in all competitions.
Given these feats, it is perhaps not surprising that some Madrid fans in the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu's Fondo Sur began to chant Mourinho's name towards the end of Sunday's game. What happened next was more curious. A sea of whistles from the other three sides of the ground quickly drowned out the chant. Three times the small group of Madrid's most loyal ultras tried to hail their hero, and each time the rest of the Bernabéu would not let them.
Barcelona held off Real Madrid to reach the Copa del Rey final.
Eric Abdial's late goal gave Barcelona a lead after the first leg of the Copa del Rey.
Pepe quickly issues apology for stomp on Lionel Messi's hand.
Richard Farley looks at the reputation-defining effects of the Clasicos.
In pretty much any other stadium in the world, Mourinho's statistics and his side's form would be being trumpeted by everyone. The problem for the majority of Madrid fans is that the two games not won in that 25 match run were both against Barcelona - both were losses. For a club which views itself as the greatest sporting institution in the world, this is a huge blow to their collective pride.
Barcelona-Madrid is huge in Spain, for cultural, political and sporting reasons. For many Blancos supporters, the idea of their team playing defensively and looking to contain the Catalans, as if Madrid was a small club coming to 'park the bus' against a far superior rival, is beyond the pale. Thus Mourinho's phenomenal achievements against everyone else do not count for much if his side is still outshone by Barcelona. The two clubs meet again Wednesday in the second leg of their Copa del Rey quarterfinal tilt, and many Madrid supporters fear further embarrassment.
Mourinho also now has a problem with his own players; or, some of them, at least. On the morning of the Bilbao game, Madrid-based sports daily Marca ran a cover story detailing a shouting-match between the coach and Real defender Sergio Ramos at a training session last week. Ramos had told reporters in the mixed zone after last Wednesday's 1-2 Copa first-leg home defeat to Barcelona that, "[the players] follow the coach's tactics. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't."
According to Marca, Mourinho saw this as a breach of dressing-room unity and went on to blame Ramos for Barca's first goal. The defender responded that Mourinho did not understand the game as he had never played it himself, a direct low blow. Club captain Iker Casillas also got drawn into the discussion. The story also reported that the coach's defense of Pepe - not officially sanctioned for his ugly stamp on the hand of Barca's Lionel Messi last week - did not impress everyone in a dressing room that has become divided between Spanish and Portuguese speakers. Mourinho shares an agent with Pepe. The insinuation is he plays favorites.
In his press conference after last Wednesday's Barca defeat Mourinho defended his tactical decisions and said he was under no obligation to follow the supporters' wishes. "I understand madridismo, but I do not listen to it," he said then. After Sunday's game he said whistling fans did not worry him.

"Zidane has been whistled here," he said. "The Brazilian Ronaldo has been whistled here. Golden Boot winner Cristiano Ronaldo has been whistled here. Why not me too?"
However, Mourinho's demeanor suggested he was feeling hurt. He knew that Marca - usually careful not to upset Madrid president Florentino Pérez – would probably not have published the training-ground bust-up story without clearing it first. In the Bernabéu press room, the coach said he got on fine with his boardroom superiors, but later that evening Spanish TV show Punto Pelota claimed to have it on very good authority that Mourinho would leave Madrid in June, having become disillusioned with constant unfair media criticism and a lack of support from within the club. Tuesday's sports daily AS responded by reminding readers that this was not the first time Mourinho had threatened to turn his back on Madrid.
Ramos did not train on Monday ("for personal reasons" said Realmadrid.com), when he was reportedly summoned to Peréz's office to discuss the situation. The Spanish international was back out with his colleagues for Tuesday's preparatory session, after which Mourinho took his usual press conference and pointedly did not deny that he planned to leave this summer.

For an increasing number of people in Madrid - among the media certainly, and it seems in the dressing room and boardroom too - he can go whenever he wants. Marca had been generally supportive even as the Portuguese was blaming defeats to Barcelona on a global conspiracy or reacting to them by physically assaulting Catalan coaching staff, but their position appears to have shifted. AS editor Alfredo Relaño, a good barometer of the feeling among Madrid's establishment fans, used his column on Tuesday to compare Mourinho to Francesco Schettino, the captain who faces criminal charges after abandoning the sinking Italian cruise-ship Costa Concordia last week. The league table on the page facing Relaño's editorial showed Madrid five points clear in the Primera División standings. Even by Spanish media standards, this was pretty surreal stuff.
For the neutral observer, it can seem that everyone involved lacks a certain sense of perspective. Back in December, we reported on Madrid fans and journalists demanding an attacking team for the first competitive Clásico of the season. Mourinho tried that and Barcelona won easily. He went more defensive last week and lost again. It is understandable that these regular defeats are difficult for pretty much everybody involved with the club – including Mourinho, Ramos, Pérez, Relaño and the thousands of well-dressed whistlers in the Bernabéu's more expensive seats – but nobody is taking them very well.
There is still the chance that Mourinho and his players can manage a very unlikely turn-around in the second-leg and everyone can go back to pretending to be friends. The unrealistic expectations which fueled this week's soap opera have made that much less likely to happen.

This is the place to contribute jokes, lines, and humorous anecdotes that really or supposedly happened.
Christianity, Culture, Vocation
This is the place to contribute jokes, lines, and humorous anecdotes that really or supposedly happened.
Conservative commentator Michael Gerson draws some lines that cut through both existing parties and potentially every ideology:
One of the most significant divisions in American public life is not between the Democrats and the Republicans; it is between the Ugly Party and the Grown-Up Party.
This distinction came to mind in the case of Washington Post blogger David Weigel, who resigned last week after the leak of messages he wrote disparaging figures he covered. Weigel is, by most accounts, a bright, hardworking young man whose private communications should have been kept private. But the tone of the e-mails he posted on a liberal e-mail list is instructive. When Rush Limbaugh went to the hospital with chest pain, Weigel wrote, "I hope he fails." Matt Drudge is an "amoral shut-in" who should "set himself on fire." Opponents are referred to as "ratf — -ers" and "[expletive] moronic."
This type of discourse is an odd combination between the snideness of the cool, mean kids in high school and the pettiness of Richard Nixon rambling on his tapes. Weigel did not intend his words to be public. But they display the defining characteristic of ugly politics — the dehumanization of political opponents.
Unlike Weigel, most members of the Ugly Party — liberal and conservative — have little interest in keeping their views private. "My only regret with Timothy McVeigh," Ann Coulter once said, "is he did not go to the New York Times building." Radio host Mike Malloy suggested that Glenn Beck "do the honorable thing and blow his brains out." Conservatives carry signs at Obama rallies: "We Came Unarmed (This Time)." Liberals carried signs at Bush rallies: "Save Mother Earth, Kill Bush." Says John Avlon, author of "Wingnuts: How the Lunatic Fringe Is Hijacking America," "If you only take offense when the president of your party is compared to Hitler, then you're part of the problem."
The rhetoric of the Ugly Party shares some common themes: urging the death or sexual humiliation of opponents or comparing a political enemy to vermin or diseases. It is not merely an adolescent form of political discourse; it encourages a certain political philosophy — a belief that rivals are somehow less than human, which undermines the idea of equality and the possibility of common purposes.
via Michael Gerson – The Ugly Party vs. the Grown-Up Party.
Wanting your opponents dead or sexually humiliated and comparing them to vermin or diseases is, indeed, a long-standing trope of the vilest rhetoric. It was a commonplace of Nazi propaganda, comparing the Jews, for example, to vermin, who thus need to be exterminated. OK, maybe you can find examples of Luther talking this way about the pope, but that hardly excuses it. The key point is that such rhetoric dehumanizes your opponents, and if you do not consider them human, then it is, in fact, easy to kill them, sexually humiliate them, exterminate them like vermin, or wipe them out like diseases.
I think you can be an extremely militant and argumentative conservative or liberal while still avoiding this fault. Can we agree that it is wrong to dehumanize our opponents?
As many of you know, I'm a fan of country music. I've even written a now out of print book about it. But lately, I've stopped listening to it. What's on the radio is too painful for me to handle. Maybe I am missing some good songs and artists. If so, let me know, since, as I have said, I have basically stopped following the genre. I'm not alone in lamenting the state of country music. There is a website devoted to the subject entitled Saving Country Music.
But the guy running it, Kyle 'The Triggerman' Coroneos, has identified a new savior of country music. And it's Ruby Jane, the classically-Christian-educated home schooled 15 year old who is one of my daughter's prize on-line Latin student! (Remember? I blogged about her.) Here is part of the Triggerman's review of one of her live performances, which he illustrates with videos (including one of her singing by herself):
I'm convinced. Ruby Jane was sent to earth by God to save country music.
All accolades I lapped on the 15-year-old fiddle-playing fenom when I said You Need Ruby Jane In Your Life were validated, if not proved to be too tempered after seeing her live at Dallas's historic Kessler Theater on Friday.
Really, I don't know what to say. There are no words to express Ruby Jane's talent level, because it is nothing like I have ever seen before, in a musician of any age. And I'm not just talking about her fiddle playing, I'm talking about all of it: songwriting, showmanship, singing, even her guitar playing. And overriding all of this effusive talent is a passion for the music second to none.
Ruby Jane is filled with the Holy Ghost of country music my friends. Its the only explanation. This is evidenced by Ruby's tendency to shout out wildly on stage. Her music mixes jazz elements with country, giving it a very Western Swing feel, and these shouts work similar to the sighs and such you hear on old Bob Wills recordings. I'd seen Ruby do this in videos, but watching her live, you catch on that these shouts are involuntary, not a stage bit to emphasize the music. Something bigger is at play in her when she plays, and her shouting is an ecstatic reflex to her euphoria for the vibrations that create sound to the human ear.
Ruby Jane makes hokey songs cool, like Willie Nelson's "Valentine." She makes heady songs accessible, like Django Reinhardt's "Minor Swing." Her music is transcendent. Put a 10-year-old girl, or an 80-year-old man, a pop country devotee or a gutter punk in a Ruby Jane show, and they will all be mesmerized.
Recently Ruby has added a new wrinkle to her show, which is just taking the acoustic guitar and singing alone. If her other attributes weren't enough, she's added a unique, beautiful, vintage, and heartbreakingly soulful singing style.
Ruby Jane is a fighter. When she slung her guitar behind her back and grabbed her fiddle to take a blazing solo, she looked like a warrior. She's fearless. Anything she wants to do, she does. I'd hate to be in a position to have to say "no" to her about anything. She's principled, and refreshingly straightforward and honest. She's hardworking. What I'm saying is Ruby Jane has character, keeping watch over this ridiculous amount of talent.
I truly am speechless about this girl. I'm tongue tied and vacant for eloquent ways to explain how I feel about her music. But I will say this: And if you're reading this with one eye or have the TV on in the background, stop whatever else your doing, I need you're undivided attention.
Ruby Jane needs us, and we need Ruby Jane. I am not asking you, I am not pleading with you. I am ordering you to rise up in support of this young girl. We are the grass roots. The shattered pieces of the heart of country music are sheltered in each one of our souls, waiting for the day when the pieces can be united again as one. It is a long fall from the top of the high-rises on Music Row. But where the grass grows there's a strong foundation, that weathers the fads of popular culture, and nurtures artists from the bottom up.
This is one of those instances when the situation transcends silly arguments about preference in music style, and it becomes about life, and about the principles we all hold dear. Ruby Jane is 15-years-old, with young fans. As adults, we look our children, our grandchildren, our nieces and nephews straight in the eyes and tell them that they can be whatever they want to be with talent and hard work, and that heartfelt genuineness is rewarded.
But in the music world, mediocrity is rewarded more often than not. Imagine a world where the worst scientists were rewarded just because they were the most physically attractive, or where a middle-of-the-road football team was given the Super Bowl trophy because they were the most popular. This is the world of music these days. But the tide is turning.
But we can't let this happen to Ruby Jane, and all the other top talents that we are so blessed with. So tell a friend. And then tell another about Ruby Jane. They may have the radio and the record labels, but we have each other.
In the long term, I like our odds.
But really, watch and listen to this video, as well as the others posted at the link. What she is doing is fusing jazz and country music, to the benefit of both. Jazz can be abstract and cerebral; country music can bring it down to earth and keep it melodic. Country music can be simplistic and cornpone; jazz can make it complex and sophisticated. Bringing these two genres together is a strikingly good combination. At any rate, the girl can just play:

Speaking of road food, as we did the other day, the very best regional cuisine in my opinion is BBQ. It exists in an exuberant variety of styles and sauces and meats that are distinct to each region of the South. Rich Shipe sent me this video of a song that just about says and shows it all, including the important point that BBQ is not a verb but a noun!
(If the video isn't coming up on your browser, hit "comments" and it will.)
Realizing that this will really stir up a controversy, what, in your experience, are the best BBQ joints?
I'll go first: BEST CHAINS: Famous Dave's (ribs); Rudy's (brisket); BEST RIBS: Big Dawg's, in Vinita, OK; BEST BRISKET: Head Country, in Ponca City, OK
A strange ruling from the Supreme Court:
The Supreme Court ruled on Monday that a public university can refuse to officially recognize a Christian student group that bars membership to those who violate its beliefs.
In a 5-4 decision split along ideological lines, the high court agreed with a decision by the University of California Hastings College of the Law in San Francisco to refuse to grant a campus chapter of the Christian Legal Society because it expressly barred gays and non-Christians.
Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen G. Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor, John Paul Stevens and Anthony M. Kennedy, the court's frequent swing vote, agreed with the school. Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. and Justices Samuel A. Alito Jr., Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas sided with the Christian group.
The school said the group's membership requirements violated the university's anti-discrimination policies, which require groups on campus to allow members regardless of sexual orientation or religion. The group claimed that the school's policies violated its First Amendment rights to free speech and freedom of religion.
A federal district court and federal appeals court previously sided with the school against the Christian students.
Writing for the majority, Justice Ginsburg said the First Amendment shielded the Christian Legal Society from discrimination at the hands of the state-run university, but it did not give the Christian group the right to exclude people while receiving the benefits of the university's resources.
"Exclusion, after all, has two sides," she wrote. "Hastings, caught in the crossfire between a groups desire to exclude and students demand for equal access, may reasonably draw a line in the sand permitting all organizations to express what they wish but no group to discriminate in membership."
via Supreme Court rules against group that bans gays – Washington Times.
Set aside the gay issue. A Christian group must admit non-Christians? Does that mean a liberal group must admit conservatives? Do Marxist groups have to admit Capitalists who in sufficient numbers might then vote to change the group's mission? What does "group" mean if it has no collective identity or membership boundaries?
(The solution for affected Christian groups: Don't take college money.)
Now we know how Third World countries feel. We should be grateful, though isn't it kind of humiliating, a sign of our decline in the world?

This business requires a sales tax ID number to buy the baked materials and prepared food wholesale and sell it retail at events and or a store.Getting Your Catering Business Certified and LicensedHere is how to get your business license for your catering food business.First, you will need to food certified. That, in most states, is a course you need to take and obtain a certificate. • Note: In some cases, you will not be able to cook from your house. If they will not let you cook from home, your best bet (only other option in fact) is to find a commercial kitchen restaurant that is health inspected and use it to cook, or at least get a paper from them saying that you will be using their kitchen to cook. You can also say that you are a personal chef and get a chef business license. In such case, you may be able to prepare the food at your home and finish cooking at your clients location.• If they allow you to cook from home, prepare your restaurant home and kitchen for health inspection, if not, go with the completed business license application to the county planning dept including fire and sheriff in some cases. These departments will look at the application and most likely sign it as ok.Then,• 4. Most likely, they will send you to the environmental and or health department to make an appointment with them as well to get your catering cooking location inspected and issue you a health permit and a business license. • Note that in order to sell prepared food as a caterer, you will need to obtain a sellers permit tax ID Number, a business license application -- we will find, complete the application and provide you with the steps to get your food business license.• In addition, since most likely, you will have a trade name for your business, you will also need to register a fictitious business name. Finally, you will need a federal and state employer numbers for employment withholding for your food handlers employees.• Finally, you can decide to incorporate or form an LLC instead of filing a fictitious business name.FeesObtain It Online Now!Your service, especially if it is a service to other businesses, may be subject to sales tax in some states. For example, if you bill your client $1,000 for your service, you will need to add sales tax as well for the service. The rate is about 6%-8% in most states. The implication of this as it pertains to the above discussion is that you will have to obtain a sellers permit to collect the sales tax, unless you already have to get one. For example, you will have to obtain a sellers permit if your service includes touchable items, such as parts, and other materials for repairs or installation that are required for performing your type of service.On the other hand, if your service is not taxable, you will have to issue an separate invoice for the service or separately list the services and the parts and include sales tax for the parts. For example, if the service is $100, you bill the client only that amount but for the parts, if the amount is $50, you bill your client $50 plus sales tax at the rate of your state, see above. So if the tax is 7%, you will bill $53.50 for the parts that will include the sales tax, plus $100 for the service for a total of $153.50.

Thanks to Dixonian for sharing this bottle.
The beer pours a light orange-yellow color with a white head. As expected from a cedar-aged Cigar City beer, this beer smells like a humidor. I get a ton of cedar in the aroma with hardly anything else coming through. The flavor is more complex. I obviously get some strong cedar in the flavor, but there is also a good bit of dark fruit and toffee, as well as some lemon. The alcohol is well hidden. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

Lateral tasting with bottles from Lueken Liquors. Funky aroma, the funk stays in the taste and is moderated by some grapefruit and lemon and the wood. Very good very spicy flavour, but you have to tolerate the barnyard. Good drinkability.Full mouthfeel, carbonation significant

A- Poured into a Cigar City tulip glass. Pours a golden orangish color with an off-white head.
S- The aroma is fruity malt, citrus, orange peel, hints of spices and some cedar notes as well.
T- The taste is really interesting. Malt up front with bitter orange peel and hops in the finish. The taste is very citrusy.
M- The mouthfeel is light bodied with a high amount of carbonation.
O- Overall, this is another solid beer from Cigar City.

750 mL bottle poured into a snifter. Reviewed from notes.
Appearance - Deep burnt orange with a small white head. Decent retention.
Smell - Cedar. Kinda peppery. More cedar. Then some cedar. Might be some pale malts in there, too.
Taste - And the cedar continues. Some malts, but really, it's all cedar. Slightly sweet with some fruitiness. Bitter, woody finish.
Mouthfeel - Overly woody, but it doesn't feel as heavy as other variants. Bitter, too.
Overall - The beer is lost. Way too much wood.

Big thanks goes out to beermeX2 for sharing this one during a recent tasting! Served from bottle into a Mikkeller taster flute. Poured a slightly hazy golden yellow with a one finger pure white head that subsided minimal amount quickly. Maintained decent lacing throughout the glass. The aroma was comprised of sweet malt, banana, fruit, wood, and citrus hop. The flavor was of sweet malt, banana, cedar, citrus, fruit, and citrus hop. It had a light feel on the palate with medium-high carbonation. Overall this was a pretty good brew. The flavor on this one was pretty nice and really well balanced. The aroma was pretty nice and very inviting. Really glad I got the chance to try this one as I missed it due to my accident.

Thanks Don for sharing, and schlepping this all the way from Florida. Quick review transcribed from written notes.
Pours a nice sun-kissed orange color, light haze, and a lasting layer of foam on top that deposits some spotty lace here and there.
Subtle aromas of light yeast and phenolic spice, everyone was saying "so cedary" but I didn't pick up much woodiness at all really. To note: wasn't a fan of the cedar-aged Jai Alai either.
Flash of sweetness at first, some tangy note of cedar (apparently), ginger, long dry finish with lingering bready notes. A burly, chewy full bodied saison, it steamrolled the palate and was hard to recalibrate afterwards. Overall though, I can't really say I enjoyed it all that much, but it was fun to try. Thanks again Don!

Pours a hazy orange with a thin white head and slight ring. Crisp aromas of sweet malt, orange peel, coriander, and cedar. Lots of cedar carries through to the taste, along with orange peel, spices, and a good amount of alcohol heat. Mouthfeel is slick, with a medium body and good carbonation. Not bad, perhaps a touch too much cedar in this one, it overwhelms everything else.

Poured into a snifter. No freshness date.
A- Pours a medium gold color with a 1/2 inch head that slightly retains before crouching down to an 1/8 inch head and dots of surface foam. Moderate lacing.
S- Cedar so fragrant it stabs your nose in a nice way. Also the usual tobacco notes.
T- Jeez. You think they used enough cedar in this? It's so overpowering, that's all one can really taste. And it's not the cedar that compliments the hops so well in the Humidor series Jai Alai. It's more pronounced making it taste like you're licking a cigar box plus is more astringent. It blends badly with the high amount of booze as well. Sort of a band-aid flavor also. Plus, there's no indication of saison yeast.
M- Dry and unimpressive. Also stings a bit. Medium carbonation.
O- I was so psyched to have my first CCB/Bruery collaboration but it's just cedar overload. It smells good, but the taste and mouthfeel are certainly lacking. I can only hope the lemon wood aged is better.

Two children were inside the Calle Contenta residence when a woman was shot in the face last week, and one of them was lying in a bassinet directly behind the woman who was shot, recently filed court documents reveal.
That has the 23-year-old Las Vegas man who told police the gun went off accidentally while he was playing with it in hot water.
Michael J. Urioste, of the 2300 block of Calle Contenta, was initially charged with a single count of negligent use of a deadly weapon, a petty misdemeanor. He was arrested and booked into the San Miguel County Detention Center on a $5,000 cash bond. But because he had only been charged with a petty misdemeanor, he was released from jail on Dec. 11, two days after the shooting.
Las Vegas police amended the charges on Thursday, filing a new criminal complaint in San Miguel County Magistrate Count. Urioste now stands accused of child abuse, a third-degree felony, in addition to the petty misdemeanor count of negligent use of a deadly weapon. Police have also charged him with possession of drug paraphernalia, a misdemeanor and possession of marijuana, a petty misdemeanor.
He was taken into custody again on Wednesday, and his bond is now set at $10,000 cash.
Las Vegas police continue to investigate the shooting. They were initially unable to interview Urioste's wife, Christina Urioste, because of her injury. She was airlifted to Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center in Santa Fe.
The shooting occurred at about 9:30 p.m. on Dec. 9 at the couple's residence. Urioste had been drinking, and he told police all he remembers is the flash of the muzzle and his wife looking at him and blood on her face. He said he isn't sure how he pulled the trigger.
Court documents state that the children in the residence were both 4 months old.
Although court documents don't specifically state that the children were the couple's, at least one of them has the same last name.
Accompanying the criminal complaint was an affidavit for arrest that spells out the new details in the case.
It states that both children were taken into custody by the state Children, Youth and Families Department.
According to the affidavit:
One child was in a bassinet directly behind the couch where Mrs. Urioste had been sitting when she was shot. The other child was in a rear bedroom. The children were taken to Alta Vista Regional Hospital for a checkup after the shooting.
Police observed that the residence was messy with dirty dishes on the floor and clothing scattered about the residence.
Police asked Urioste for permission to search the residence, and he agreed.
The revolver, a 38-special handgun, was found on top of a pile of clothes. Police also found a small amount of suspected marijuana and a smoking pipe on a small table in the residence.
This isn't the first time that Urioste has been charged with negligent use of a deadly weapon.
On Feb. 27 he was arrested for firing a round in front of the fire station on Legion. The probable cause statement in that case states that Urioste told police he fired a round into the air because he feared that he was about to get jumped.
Online court records show that he pleaded guilty to that charge and was given probation, which he successfully completed.
