|Friday, 8/22/14"Black Life Is Treated with Short Worth": Talib Kweli & Rosa Clemente on Michael Brown ShootingAs the protests continue in Ferguson, Missouri, over the shooting of Michael Brown, we turn now to two well-known voices who have come to Ferguson to show their support. Talib Kweli is a world-renowned hip-hop artist and activist from New York City. He first broke out as one half of the duo Black Star, along with the rapper and actor Mos Def. Black Star helped define the underground, conscious hip-hop movement that re-emerged in the late 1990s. Since then he has released many critically acclaimed albums and used his platform to champion political causes, including police brutality and the prison-industrial complex. Kweli traveled to Ferguson with Rosa Clemente, a longtime activist, journalist, scholar and former director of the Hip-Hop Caucus. In 2008, Clemente made history as part of the first all-women-of-color presidential ticket in U.S. history, running as the Green Party's vice-presidential nominee, along with former Democratic Rep. Cynthia McKinney, who ran for president. Kweli and Clemente joined the protests in Ferguson just before a massive march planned for Saturday in their hometown of New York City. Thousands are expected to rally on Staten Island for justice in the case of Eric Garner, the African-American man who died in a police chokehold last month. Democracy Now! producer Aaron Maté caught up with Kweli and Clemente this week at Ferguson's Greater St. Mark Family Church. The church has been used as a meeting point and as a safe haven for protesters hit by tear gas. AARON MATÉ: This is Democracy Now! I'm Aaron Maté, with Hany Massoud. We're in the St. Mark's Church with Talib Kweli and Rosa Clemente. Talib, Rosa, welcome to Democracy Now! Talib Kweli, talk to us about why you've come to Ferguson. TALIB KWELI: I'm in Ferguson because I respect life. I try to be a compassionate person. I respect people's basic right to just exist. And even if there's some sort of discrepancy or misunderstanding regarding the law, I respect people's rights to due process. And this young man, Michael Brown, had all that stripped from him in an instant. And the fact that he is someone who could be my son, fact that he's someone who could be me, fact that he's someone who I relate to on a lot of levels, being a black man and my experience in America, it just really touched me in a way that the news stories couldn't capture. I saw a lot of celebrities, who could be using their voice to really help people to understand the justifiable rage going on here, really become critical of some of the other aspects of the "looters" or critical of Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. But these are people who never speak out on behalf of the people. And it's like, "You use your platform to speak out to criticize the people?" It made me want to show up myself so I could shine a light on the real protest movement that's going on here. A lot of people think that because they choose to ignore protests on a daily basis, they choose to ignore injustice on a daily basis, that the whole world is acting like that. And so they ask questions like, "Well, why is there no protest when a black man shoots a black man?" or "What about black-on-black crime?" And they ask these silly, irrelevant questions that distract and deflect away from these things that happened to John Crawford and Eric Garner and Renisha McBride and Mike Brown. You know, so it's like such a ill pattern that I felt like I had to go past, beyond—go past the retweets at this point. AARON MATÉ: Talib, this protest in Ferguson is getting so much world attention, but what can specifically we learn as a country from what's happening here in Ferguson? TALIB KWELI: We can learn that we shouldn't give up our rights so quickly. You know, the fear that so-called terrorism has instilled in the country, the fear has been used to convince us to voluntarily give away our rights. You know, we've been talking for a long time about the—in the abstract, about the militarization of police force and the byproduct of it and the ramifications of it and what it means for the rights of citizens. And in Ferguson, it's the first time they really get to flex that muscle in a real way. You know, it's striking to me how you have like an armed response from the people like at the Bundy ranch, where they were actually like, you know, talking about they're going to use women as shields and put women in the front, because they know if women get shot, you know, those will be images that they want to put out to the world. Or they're pointing guns at the feds, and the feds are like, "You know, we cool. Y'all got that one." Here, you know, you have somebody who throws a water bottle, or you have somebody who is yelling at the cops because they're rightfully agitated, and that becomes a license to brutalize and terrorize an entire community of people. I mean, me, myself, in my own personal experience, I was out there last night. I wasn't chanting, wasn't talking to no cops. I wasn't yelling at nobody. I wasn't, you know, waving a knife. I wasn't walking down in the middle of the street. The cops gave me all types of instructions. I followed every one of them. I still ended up on the ground with a gun pointed at me, no matter what. ROSA CLEMENTE: As soon as I backed up from them, I saw the police getting ready to go in formation. And as Talib mentioned, it was before that water bottle was thrown. And as soon as I saw them go in formation, I said, "Yo, the cops are about to vamp on us." And we kind of started moving away. The water bottle gets thrown. There's a moment of silence and quietness, and then they just came out of nowhere. And me and Talib and Jessica grabbed hands. We got to a part where there was a concrete barrier. And we figured, well, let's not run in the streets. The cops are coming this way. Let's just get to the sidewalk and just keep going. Well, we were surrounded immediately, and where we were surrounded was a bush. And immediately, "Put your hands up! Lay down! We will shoot! Put your hands up! Lay down! We will shoot!" We completely complied. There were maybe about—I now count about 12 people with us on one side of the barricade or the other side of the barricade. And then this young man from the community was laying at my feet, and he was choking and breathing hard, hard. And the cop came up to him, was like, "Stop moving, or I'll shoot you." And I was like, he's—like, and I told the—I was telling the young kid, his name is Devin, I said, "Just, honey, try to stay still. Try to stay still. Try to stay still." And he did. You know, and I have to say, as much as I've done this work for 20 years, that is the most terrifying moment of my life. All I could think about was, what happens if one of these cops—one of them—shoots? That means they're all going to shoot. What if they kill this kid in front of us? And if it wasn't for that black cop—and I'm not a cop person, by any means—if that black cop didn't say, "Put down your weapons. We got who we wanted. Let them go," we definitely would have been arrested. That was not—we thought that was going to happen anyway. But that guy could have got trigger happy. I saw the look in his eye. He was waiting to shoot that kid. AARON MATÉ: Talib, you came from New York. There's a big protest this weekend over the death of Eric Garner, killed by a police chokehold. Can you connect what's happening in your hometown to what's happening here in Ferguson? TALIB KWELI: Yeah, well, you know, New York has a long, storied history with the police brutality, just like any community of color. And, you know, but it's not just New York. That connection of all these people who are murdered, unarmed, by the police is what makes the rage justifiable. How do people dare to fix their mouths to criticize protesters, to be like, "Oh, well, they shouldn't be looting"? With all due respect, you know, shut up with that. Like, what are you talking about? Like, the issue is the violation of our rights that happen when people loot pales in comparison to the violation of rights. Why are you outraged about the reaction to this? Like, it's the fact that these things are connected. It's the fact that this connects back to Trayvon Martin, connects all the way back to things in New York like Amadou Diallo and Patrick Dorismond, connects back to Tawana Brawley and Michael Stewart, connects back to the New York 21—the fact that these things are all connected. If you don't acknowledge the connection, that's what allows people to say that the rage is not justified, when they're able to look at things as if they exist in a vacuum and as if they're isolated incidents that are not connected. These are patterns that show that—you know, like Mos said on our first album, "The length of black life is treated with short worth." AARON MATÉ: And, Talib, you mentioned before the limitations of Twitter, of social media. Can you talk more about that? TALIB KWELI: I got a lot of flak from younger people, the new generation, who really—they wrap themselves up in their social media like a warm blanket. You know, it makes them feel all warm and fuzzy inside to support causes on Twitter. And I understand that. I relate to that, because I feel the same way. When I'm at my home or I'm in some hotel room or I'm enjoying my privileged life, and I'm able to just support a cause with a tweet, that makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. I feel really good, able to do that. So I get what feels good about Twitter. I get that I wouldn't have the information I have without Twitter. Look, I'm on Twitter all the time. I love Twitter. I'm like the Twitter king. I love it. You know what I'm saying? However, I remember a world before the Internet. And I remember what it really takes to have movement on the ground. Someone tweeted me back and said, "Well, you know, back in the day they didn't have Twitter, but they had letters, and they wrote letters to each other, so..." I said, "Yeah, but ain't nobody saying that the letters started the revolution." It's not—people not saying the letters; they're saying it was Malcolm being there. They're saying it was Stokely Carmichael being there. When I look at the Green Revolution, when I look what happened to Egypt, when I look at what happened to Occupy Wall Street, yeah, the tweets helped—they helped a lot—but without those bodies in the street, without the people actually being there, ain't nothing to tweet about. If Twitter worked like that, Joseph Kony would be locked down in a jail right now. You know what I'm saying? That was the most tweeted movement in the history, but there was no actual movement connected to it. There was no actual bodies on the ground. There was no actual flesh involved in all those billions of tweets that almost broke the Internet over the Stop Kony thing, you know? And so, it was a false movement. And so, tweets that are not connected to action are false. We could tweet, we could—it doesn't change the fact that tweeting makes you feel good. Great, tweet more, tweet as much as you possibly can. But don't get it confused and think it's something it's not. ROSA CLEMENTE: Yeah, and, I mean, I think part of building the movement is also changing the narrative. It's not just African-American men being killed—disproportionately, of course, we know that—but there are women being terrorized by police, or sexually assaulted, murdered by police, by vigilantes. What is happening on the border to Latino brothers and sisters? You want to talk about a real militarized space in the United States of America, let's look at how militarized the border is, right? And then when we look at the history in New York City, right, as they killed Yusuf Hawkins, they put Anthony Baez in a chokehold. As they killed an African immigrant, Amadou Diallo, you know, there are other—there's so many cases. And really, the bigger thing is right now, how are we dealing with the system of white supremacy? How are we dealing with a system that not only views us as inhuman, both as black and brown bodies, as men and women, as children to 85-year-olds? But particularly, how are we understanding the systematic attack against us as a people? If we begin to really look, as Kimberlé Crenshaw talks about, the intersection of violence, you know, there's no way we can't build a movement based off of what is happening right now. Now, these young people here in Ferguson are showing also something very different in a movement. And I think one of the things that I don't like that I'm seeing is how particularly the young people that don't fall under what we call the "respectable politics" are being talked about. This is their community. They are just as articulate. They might now say it in a language that academics like or journalists and all that. But this is their hood. We just came from where Michael Brown was slain and laid. These young men were showing us stab wounds from the police. "Oh, this happened to me when I was 10. Oh, and then 12. And then then cop did this. And look at what they did. And they did this to my wife. And then they grabbed..." Our communities are being terrorized by law enforcement. As Talib said, we live in that post-9/11 world, where it's not only law enforcement, it's now a militarized police apparatus that is literally trying to contain us. So, yesterday, when that cop tells that young kid, basically, "Stop breathing," so anything being black or brown is subject to you being executed at any given moment in this country. AARON MATÉ: Rosa, you have a lot of experience with activist struggles. What's your assessment of what we're seeing here in Ferguson, both in terms of the obstacles these protesters are facing and how they're responding? ROSA CLEMENTE: Well, I mean, I think some people may disagree with my hardcore critique on what Glen Ford and Bruce Dixon at Black Agenda Report have called the black misleadership class in a predominantly older black male misleadership class that I think, when these moments happen, for the most part, the energy gravitates towards that one or two male leader that has been deemed acceptable to lead the people. Now, what we're seeing in Ferguson is that young people are rejecting that. We haven't seen that in a while. Like, "We got you, Jesse. We respect the—it's time for you to—no, we're not trying to hear you." Or, "Al Sharpton, we ain't trying to hear you." Or, "We respect people with collars, but we ain't trying to hear you, but we respect you." And that's how they're kind of doing it, right? So when I look at this, I also have to see it in the context, right, of working-class people, the bourgeois elite—are they now the people that are the buffers to what we want—freedom and revolution? I mean, we could kind of clear see that with the president, right? And we could kind of see that in this country. We have an abundance of African-American and Latino elected officials, and I don't see the situation changing much before the time in 1964 when we didn't have almost any African-American or Latino elected officials. I think Ferguson is—like Occupy changed the narrative on how we view capitalism, I think Ferguson is going to change the narrative of what a police brutality movement looks like and who's going to end up leading this movement. AARON MATÉ: And, Talib Kweli, you're a very popular hip-hop musician. Can you talk about the response and the responsibility of artists in times like these? TALIB KWELI: Well, you know, I personally feel that artists have responsibilities to the communities that support their careers. But, you know, you can't blame a baby for what he doesn't know. And a lot of artists don't have the political education to know when it's time to step up. And so, you know, it's normal to get upset. I've seen artists that I know and respect, like, you know, T.I., like Tyrese, you know what I'm saying, like that speak on real issues that our community is facing. But, for me, it's about a timing thing, you know what I'm saying? Now, with all due respect to T.I. and Tyrese, those are artists that—dudes I know that speak. I follow these dudes on Twitter. I follow them. These are not dudes that don't say nothing. They speak about our community, whether it's in the national news or not. But to speak—you know, to speak about, to focus—make your focus on the looters and the reaction, to me, it deflects and distracts from what we, as a community, should be focused on. That's the language of our oppressor. The oppressor doesn't want us thinking about the horrible circumstance, so the oppressor wants us to focus on, "Well, look how you're all acting now." You know what I'm saying? And if we start using the oppressor's language, we have no chance to have any semblance of justice for Mike Brown. You know, look, there's already no justice for the family. You know, let's say the cop is arrested and sentenced to death. Does that bring Mike Brown back? No, it doesn't. So that family will never have justice. We have to be satisfied with waiting for a verdict from a system that clearly is stacked against us. You know, that's what we should be talking about as a community. We shouldn't be talking about any time we see looters. You know, it's like Malcolm said about airing your dirty laundry. We could talk about that amongst ourselves, but when we get out in the press, we do these interviews, when we on our Twitter feeds and all that, we need to be bigging up the people like Dream Defenders, we need to be talking about these clergy here, we need to be talking about these people who are organized to protest peacefully, before we do any criticism of people who are out there with justifiable rage and anger. So, you know, I've tweeted, and I've talked about it, and I challenged my other artists to and people out there to put the focus on that. But I can't just say that—I can't just say that from a protracted, abstract place. I've got to put myself here, in order for people to really hear me and say that. And I've got to be able to speak on it from a firsthand experience, or else I could be considered guilty of the same thing. AARON MATÉ: Finally, Talib, as we wrap up here and return back to the streets for another night of protest, your final thoughts? TALIB KWELI: You know, it's hard for me to quantify, because I'm only here for two days. I don't have to be here, you know. And a lot of people have to remain here. I was very hesitant to do interviews. You know, I like what Democracy Now! does, so I'm here for this, but—and I did another interview on another network, but I don't want this to be about me. I'm not here to make a spectacle. I'm not here as a rapper or a celebrity. I'm here as a member of my community. I'm here to be—to be a leader, but also to be a follower, to find leaders in the community and ask them what it is that I can assist with, you know. And I think that's the best that we can do as people who are not living here, not forced to deal with this. We're forced to deal with it, because we're forced to deal with the overarching ramifications of what this means. But there are people in this community that, for as much positive or great things we could say to you in this interview, it's not going to help them on a real level after we leave. So, I'm just trying to do things I can do that will have an impact beyond just this moment down here. AARON MATÉ: And Rosa Clemente? ROSA CLEMENTE: I mean, my final thoughts is like, let's remember that a young 18-year-old boy two days from college was chased, gunned down, shot through the head, executed, left for four hours, traumatized an entire community, and that's what we should focus on at this moment. But then the larger picture is, if there's not an indictment, right, if there's not justice from injustice system, it doesn't mean we don't struggle every day to stop this. We have to find new ways. And I think part of finding new ways is doing new things. And, you know, or as Pete Seeger once said, maybe doing something little all the time as much as you can. You know, as a mother, until I saw where he laid for four hours, it really didn't hit me until this moment. And I'm sick and tired of this. Like Fannie Lou Hamer, I am sick and tired of this. We have so much life to live and a limited time amount to do it. And every day, the older my daughter gets, or any of my friends, all I can think about is, is this world better? Because it's just really not. And what is going to happen to our children? What does this do to other people in the community? How does this affect white people that are antiracism, working against racism? All of this has been so lost in this. So we always have to remember that. And we also always have to remember that what happens in Ferguson, this has become bigger than Michael Brown's death and the family's pain. That doesn't mean we don't respect that and support that. It means, again, that this might be the catalyst, wherever that next Ferguson may be, to not have ever another Ferguson. AARON MATÉ: Rosa Clemente, Talib Kweli, thank you so much for joining us.

|Tuesday, 8/19/14VIDEO: "We are All Michael Brown" — NYC Parents Whose Kids Were Killed by Police Rally for JusticeThanks to Democracy Now! fellows Messiah Rhodes and Anna Özbek for producing this video. Parents with children killed by police were among those who attended a rally in front of New York City police headquarters on Monday to demand justice in the murder of Michael Brown and similar cases. "We're out here because they're killing innocent people in the street, in their homes, like they did to my son, Ramarley," said Frank Graham. Ramarley Graham was unarmed when he was shot at close range last February, in front of his six-year-old brother and grandmother, after narcotics officers chased him into his Bronx apartment. Police say Graham was trying to empty a small bag of marijuana into the toilet before he was killed. The officer who shot him was indicted for manslaughter, but a judge reluctantly threw out the indictment in May on procedural grounds. Earlier this year another grand jury chose not to indict the officer a second time. More than a year has passed since the U.S. Justice Department indicated it may review Graham's case. The family says it has no indication federal officials are conducting a full investigation by interviewing witnesses, as is occurring in the case of Michael Brown. On Wednesday, Graham's family and supporters plan to deliver thousands of petitions to the U.S. Justice Department and call for a meeting with U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara. Police shootings and misconduct have been monitored locally by groups like the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement and Copwatch, which is also looking into alleged police harassment of Ramsey Orta, who filmed Eric Garner's fatal encounter with New York Police in July. Garner died after police placed him in a chokehold and pinned him to the ground while he repeatedly said he couldn't breathe. A day after the medical examiner ruled Garner's death a homicide, police arrested Orta on weapons charges. A We Will Not Go Back march calling for justice in the case of Eric Garner is planned for August 23rd and is sponsored by Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network, the NAACP and local 1199 SEIU, as well as other groups. This is a rush transcript. Copy may not be in its final form. PROTESTERS: Hands up! Don't Shoot! Hands up! Don't Shoot! Hands up! Don't Shoot! Hands up! Don't Shoot! Hands up! Don't Shoot! FRANK GRAHAM: We're out here because they're killing innocent people in the street and in their home, as they did to my son Ramarley. There's what we're asking for, for these criminal cops to stop, because they are criminals, because they have these signs all over, "If you see something, say something," but they don't say nothing when they see their buddies beating or killing people. That blue wall is silent. ANITA NEAL: They did not come to me and tell me anything. I begged, and I've rallied every 21st to make sure I'm going to get justice for my daughter! LINAD TIGANI: Families are out here today who have their sons, their daughters, their lovers, their friends to police violence. We have folks that are mentally ill who were killed when their families were calling 911 for help. So if we cannot call 911 for help, then we see that chants like "Resistance is justified" when people are occupied, those chants become real. JOSE LASALLE: I would like these officers to go through the same process that anyone that kills somebody goes through. I would like them to be handcuffed. I would like them to be put into the precinct. I would like them to be fingerprinted. I would like them to be taken down to Central Booking. I would like them to go in front of a judge. I would like the judge to set a bail that is reasoning, that is substantiate the crime that they committed. And I would like them to go through the same process that they make any civilian go through. FRANK GRAHAM: Honest, I'm tired of walking in the street and shouting, "No peace! No justice, no peace!" because that's not doing anything. It's really not doing anything. We have to take it another step. What does that mean? We have to disrupt business. I'm not saying loot, burn, none of that. I'm saying disrupt business. I'm saying take to the bridges, take to the tunnels. We have to make these businesspeople who work on Wall Street and Park Avenue, make it hard for them to get to work. Then they'll understand what's going on. Then they'll start asking their elected official, "What's going on? Why is this happening?"

Authorization of multiple iTunes Store accounts
Ask iLounge offers readers the opportunity to get answers to their iPod-, iPhone-, iPad-, iTunes-, or Apple TV-related questions from a member of the iLounge editorial team. We'll answer several questions here each week, and of course, you can always get help with more immediate concerns from the iLounge Discussion Forums. Submit your questions for consideration using our Ask iLounge Submit Form. We reserve the right to edit questions for grammar, spelling, and length.
Q: I have over 7500 songs on my iPod that I keep on an external drive. I've had no problems switching between my laptop and my desktop. recently, I bought a new laptop and installed iTunes and hooked up my external drive. I went to the iTunes store an purchased some new music. I was asked to authorize my computer, which I did. Then I went to sync my iPod and a dialog box came up to say that there were 50 songs that could not be transferred to my iPod because they were not authorized. How do you get individual songs authorized?
- Laurie
A: There is no specific way to authorize individual tracks, as the authorization key is tied to the iTunes Store account and not the tracks themselves. Basically, as long as your authorization key has been downloaded to the computer (ie, your computer is "authorized") all tracks purchased with that account should also be authorized to play.
The most likely case of this message is that these 50 additional tracks may have been purchased or downloaded using a different iTunes Store account from your main one. This frequently happens when multiple users share the same computer, or in some cases when a user starts out with a different iTunes Store account and later changes to a new one.
You can check which account a given iTunes Store track was purchased with by selecting the track and choosing File, Get Info. The track's "Summary" tab will show the iTunes Store account information for that particular track.
You can either use the Store, Authorize Computer menu again or simply try to play one of these tracks. In either case, you should be prompted to enter the credentials for this second account, which will authorize the computer to play these additional tracks as well. A given iTunes library or iPod can be authorized for up to five different iTunes Store accounts simultaneously.

Verona and Venice
I called too much shopping on day 5 of the trip and opted to start the morning trying to send a package back home. I scored a carton from foot locker the night before but couldn't track down a packing tape and a marker no matter where I tried. In the end we improvised with bandage strapping tape and biro - think it will make it home?
We headed off to Verona, a 2 hour drive from Milano. The Garmin got us lost again so this time I trusted google maps to navigate us to ...
... the graffiti on the walls and love messages on padlocks and in the Letter's to Juliet postbox was beautiful - I has goosebumps! Anyhow we added a K&P to the wall, as did the girls (although I don't know what they wrote!?). We wandered through the town, busy with tourists and headed home just as the heavens opened. We stopped at nice little pizzeria for tea & got out the maps & camping books to see where to go ...
A full day of sightseeing
... but it is still based on legend. So in reality, that is no more Juliet's balcony than just another beautiful old building but it doesn't stop the millions of tourists who all want to believe in love. Having missed my train the day before I had to reschedule my walking tour/wine tasting for Thursday evening. I spent the entire day walking around the city seeing the masses of tourists being led around ...

During the regular intervals, ragazzi roamed our cheap seats plying the punters with 'birra, vini bianchi and vini rossi'. The Romans know how to do stuff. All this was great.

A very kind soul codenamed vulcan_rc sent me some links on del.icio.us, one of which blew me away (again, reminding me of the power of a great headline).
"American kids, dumber than dirt"
Miles better than the headline I originally came up with for this post (I won't share it with you out of embarrassment).
Mark Morford is a writer at SFGate, penning the 'Notes & Errata column'. Any columnist who proclaims Led Zeppelin as 'rock gods' gets my vote! To wit:
Perhaps you are yawning and turning up your Maroon 5 or your Linkin Park or your tepid little Colbie Caillat and muttering, "Led what? Who cares?"
You are a child and an imp and a fool. But that's not me talking, it's the sheer numbers. See, it seems the concert announcement sparked something of a stampede, with over 1 million fans registering for a chance at one of 10,000 Zep concert tickets. But even more astonishing: The charity Web site promoting the concert itself logged a staggering 1 billion hits … in a single week.
That's not just popular. That's not merely a wave of swell Boomer nostalgia. That's something else entirely.
I think it's this: We have no more true rock gods left. Sure, we have a few great rock bands, a precious handful of true rock stars, great gobs of rock mediocrity, lots and lots of rock fluff and piles of rock cheese and barrelfuls of barely edible rock candy.
But authentic rock gods are a unique category. They are borne of this lethal, nearly indescribable chemical alchemy, a combo of deep mystique, raw sexuality, effortless power, the ability to transcend musical styles and generations and reach into your brain and your heart and your daughter's genitalia, and pull.
To put it mildly: Zep had it. Hell, Zep might've invented it.
So, having established the man's obvious common sense and perspicacity, let us return to his views on 'dumber than dirt' American kids.
Dumber than dirt
North American kids, to be precise, but we sort of guessed that.
Mark shares an ongoing discussion he's been having with a near-retirement age high school teacher and that teacher's views on the appalling lack of intellectual acumen and general life skills.
To wit:
And he often writes to me in response to something I might've written about the youth of today, anything where I comment on the various nefarious factors shaping their minds and their perspectives and whether or not, say, EMFs and junk food and cell phones are melting their brains and what can be done and just how bad it might all be.
His response: It is not bad at all. It's absolutely horrifying.
My friend often summarizes for me what he sees, firsthand, every day and every month, year in and year out, in his classroom. He speaks not merely of the sad decline in overall intellectual acumen among students over the years, not merely of the astonishing spread of lazy slackerhood, or the fact that cell phones and iPods and excess TV exposure are, absolutely and without reservation, short-circuiting the minds of the upcoming generations. Of this, he says, there is zero doubt.
Nor does he speak merely of the notion that kids these days are overprotected and wussified and don't spend enough time outdoors and don't get any real exercise and therefore can't, say, identify basic plants, or handle a tool, or build, well, anything at all. Again, these things are a given. Widely reported, tragically ignored, nothing new.
No, my friend takes it all a full step — or rather, leap — further. It is not merely a sad slide. It is not just a general dumbing down. It is far uglier than that.
Naturally, being a fair-minded journalist he presents a possible retort:
This is about when I try to offer counterevidence, a bit of optimism. For one thing, I've argued generational relativity in this space before, suggesting maybe kids are no scarier or dumber or more dangerous than they've ever been, and that maybe some of the problem is merely the same old awkward generation gap, with every current generation absolutely convinced the subsequent one is terrifically stupid and malicious and will be the end of society as a whole. Just the way it always seems.
I also point out how, despite all the evidence of total public-education meltdown, I keep being surprised, keep hearing from/about teens and youth movements and actions that impress the hell out of me. Damn kids made the Internet what it is today, fer chrissakes. Revolutionized media. Broke all the rules. Still are.
Hell, some of the best designers, writers, artists, poets, chefs, and so on that I meet are in their early to mid-20s. And the nation's top universities are still managing, despite a factory-churning mentality, to crank out young minds of astonishing ability and acumen. How did these kids do it? How did they escape the horrible public school system? How did they avoid the great dumbing down of America? Did they never see a TV show until they hit puberty? Were they all born and raised elsewhere, in India and Asia and Russia? Did they all go to Waldorf or Montessori and eat whole-grain breads and play with firecrackers and take long walks in wild nature? Are these kids flukes? Exceptions? Just lucky?
I will create a tiny bit of tension in your life by not spoiling Mark's final viewpoint. But the whole article is definitely worth a read.
It won't be everyone's 'cup of tea' but it sure will spark debate (and there have been 527 comments to his article so far).
The implications, of course, are not just for North Americans. Every western government that provides a dual educational system (publicly-funded and privately-owned) must surely be aware of the arguments and discussions going on.
I know from my own experience that the writing skills required to finish high school back in 1974 (when I left half way through what is now 'Year 12′ in the South Australian system) were markedly superior to what is required at first- and second-year undergraduate level at one South Australian university (because I help my eldest stepdaughter with her essays, and she openly admits she couldn't write a logical, coherent sentence until half way through her first year).
The implications for Business Communication
I urge you to read Mark's article and consider what it might mean for us as communicators, and communication in general. Will the well-crafted written word become the calling card of the elite and the academic? What will it mean to the industry if few are able to write in a style that might, in a few generations, seem as archaic and incomprehensible as Shakespearean prose?
What will become of communicators who need to 'relate' to the new audience, but find themselves increasingly unable. Sure, we can learn to 'media snack' but will this be enough?
Who is buying books out there? Just the mi
ddle aged and educated? Wealthy kids picking up a Harry Potter or Lemony Snicket and who, in teenagedom, will abandon the habit?
On a lighter note…
But I finish this post with more of Mark's wit and wisdom, this time from the 'resource box' at the end of each of his articles:
Mark Morford's Notes & Errata column appears every Wednesday and Friday on SFGate and in the Datebook section of the San Francisco Chronicle. To get on the e-mail list for this column, please click here and remove one article of clothing.
Mark's column also has an RSS feed and an archive of past columns, which includes another small photo of Mark potentially sufficient for you to recognize him in the street and give him gifts.
I like his style!
Currently listening to: Led Zeppelin – 'Communication Breakdown' and 'Kashmir', the only rock song a classical music composing friend of mine likes

Today I am joining The Skinny Dip Society on an incredible blog tour! 20 women, 20 days, 20 ways to feed your soul, free your body, and love your life. After you read my post, click above to see the lineup!
Recently, I've been feeling rather stuck.
I imagine t's because of this bouncing babe in my belly, who, according to the doctor, is quite ready to make her grand entrance 5 weeks early (I'm really not surprised - if she's anything like me, she's already impatient and itching to let the wailing, breath of the world embrace her skin). Maybe it's because I simply feel as though I'm running out of time.
I listened to a TED talk a week or so ago about success. About how we're encouraged from all angles that we can strike it rich and change the world and make an impact. And when this doesn't happen - when it's not as easy as the magazine headlines make it seem - we feel like failures, over and over again. As a coach, and a teacher, and a writer, I am guilty of pushing this message as well - onto others, and even more strongly, onto myself.
These days, the world is full of self-help books and five-simple-steps-to-success-follow-your-dreams e-courses and coaching opportunities and quick fixes and maps to all of your desires. It's overwhelming. When we see that there are so many people who are chasing after & nearly grasping what appears to be the same dream (striking it rich; changing the world; making an impact), we might feel as if we've already failed, even if we haven't yet tried.
The truth is, very few people are successful by that narrow definition of the word.
A slice of the population will ever be financially wealthy. A handful will ever change the world (the whole world - internationally recognized & respected). And while at first, I was discouraged by these facts, I was afterwards quickly humbled by them. Softened. Renewed. Relieved.
The pressure's off, my love.
I think the biggest problem is that we're constantly told what success means. Money. Power. Popularity. Reach.
But thinking back to the beginning, maybe this isn't what you imagined success was.
I close my eyes and invoke my childhood. Those wild-eyed years of endless opportunity and drinking in the wideness of the world. Then, what did I imagine success was? What do I still feel - truly, beneath the illusion of the media - that is is, now?
Writing a little bit every day. Traveling for myself - not to tell anyone about it or record the whole thing in a photo book. Laughing a lot. Watching sunsets from the porch. Living close to my family. Changing the world around me - one person at a time. Spending slow hours with my husband. Having a child. Teaching her to be wild, and still, and loving. Simple things. Having enough, but not too much, because too much always leads to wanting more.
Small. Hearty. Warm.
It's reassuring, really, to renew your definition of success. It doesn't have to be the same definition that the magazine titles & self-help section has painted over your heart. Dig deeper. Remember. What does success mean to you?
Write it down. Sound out the words in your mouth and notice how sweet they are.
Then, move forward. And be incredibly successful.
Don't forget to check out the rest of this beautiful blog tour! These ladies truly are following their own definition of success. They're all brilliant & contagious lights. I'm honored to be posting after Laura Madden. You can read yesterday's post here.

Because Gummi Bears don't look as good blended or just laying around, this particular Margarita is best served on the rocks with the bears mixed up with the ice.

Sugarcult is a pop-punk/alternative rock band formed in Santa Barbara, CA in 1998. The name 'Sugarcult' came from a group of lesbian women that used to live across from the lead singer Tim Pagnotta. Tim met ex-drummer Ben Davis during a cigarette break at school. Ben (who then played bass) and Tim started to play together on a regular basis until Tim invited Airin Older, a fellow classmate, to join. Ben was moved to the position of drummer and Airin filled in for Ben on bass. Marko DeSantis was added into the band after meeting Tim back stage at a Superdrag concert.

More Bikes and Oddities from the Eurobike Outdoor Demo 2014
That Kilo fork isn't an Amp remake... the Amp F-4 had the linkage under and behind the crown not forwards and they had coil over thru-shaft shocks on both sides not a single air/oil shock on one side.

Schwalbe, Canyon, KS - Eurobike 2014
As an established weight weenie, i did previously use the "regular" butyl tubes in undersizes and stretched to fit bigger casing tires, but now I just use equal rated size thinner-wall tubes. If you are going to undersize, it makes more sense to undersize by diameter and not width, as the tube wall will stretch less to fit a larger diameter tire than a wider one (of equal diameter). I use 26 x 1.9/2.1 rated tubes for example in 29 x 2.1 tires.

Aug 26, 2014 at 11:04Aug 26, 2014
Schwalbe, Canyon, KS - Eurobike 2014
Depends on the tube you use... there have been some ridiculously thick walled tubes (on the outside) meant to be thorn proof that would do a similar function to the Schwalbe system. They're more commonly found in 700C sizes (so perfect for doing this on a 29er wheelset) but they do exist in 26er models.

Also tubes inflate to fill space against a lower pressure outside than inside, if you have 30psi pushing against the outside of the tube then its not going to stretch as far as say it was 14.7psi (as is the case with a regular tire at sea level). Essentially you inflate the tubeless setup first and THEN you inflate the tube.

How hard is it for a home mechanic to make a press? 1 foot of threaded rod and some washers and nuts... presto...press in your own headset or bottom bracket cups. Want it pre-made for you and more professional looking? Park has the HHP3 for about $75-100 as do other brands offer similar. Compared to the specialized tools many "threaded" cups have needed over the years, a press fit assembly is one of the simplest to do correctly... although apparently not for the brain trusts on here...

WASHINGTON - Farmers and ranchers who previously were forced to sell livestock due to drought, like the drought currently affecting much of the nation, have an extended period of time in which to replace the livestock and defer tax on any gains from the forced sales, the Internal Revenue Service announced Friday.
This last week has really driven home that fall is here and winter is on its way! With the cooler weather, your lawn is slowing down on growth, and gathering reserves to be able to survive the dormant season. It's tempting to stop mowing all together and enjoy the much deserved break from your yard chores. As long as your grass is still growing, your turf still needs mowed for optimum health and winter hardiness. For a little more clarification, I thought I would share with you a piece from K-State Research and Extension' s horticulture specialist Ward Upham:
For the first time last week a touch of fall filled the early morning air. With the coming of fall and approach of winter, it's fun to recall some time-tested weather sayings.
Most people think that the time to get a soil test is in the spring when they start thinking about what they want to grow, and how it is going to look. While a spring test can be important if one hasn't been done for several years, a fall test can actually help you more.

It is safe to say over the last year almost everyone in some fashion has thought about the government, what it should or shouldn't do, and whether it can do anything well. Lately with the events in Washington and over the last year with events transpiring in Topeka a strong diversity of opinion is evident. Like many discussions regarding government, opposing opinions frame the questions in pretty stark black and white terms. Agriculture is no different in this respect as the industry is constantly aware of and dealing with various aspects of local, state, and federal government bureaucracies. Rather ...

I receive many calls during the year about tree health, so I tend to write about trees more than any other subject. Right now, many of the trees in the county are looking a little stressed.
